Undying Curse Part 2

at night.

When Dukui put the last dish on the table, everyone was almost there.

Maybe the delicious food on the table is too attractive, or maybe everyone is hungry, the process of eating is very quiet, and no one mentions what happened yesterday and City Z, until everyone finished eating, Dukui and Wukui got up to clean up the dishes.

"How about going to the attic to drink and watch the snow?" Anya got up and suggested, "Lingyu gave me a guqin before and put it on it. Is your highness interested?"

Without waiting for Xuan Luo to nod, Qian Yan took over the conversation and asked, "Sister Tang, can Xuan Luo drink?"

"It's okay to drink less."

Hearing what Tang Song said, he looked back at Xuan Luo, only to see this woman looking at him with a deep smile.

Bai Jing's mood wasn't about admiring the snow and drinking wine, but about those two little ghosts, curiously asked: "Where are those two little things? Why don't you see them coming to eat?"

"Xingfeng and Nanwei have already eaten." Dukui said helplessly: "The little fox ran over early to cry hungry, and didn't want to eat alone, so he forced Xingfeng to eat with her, and went back after eating , After all, the body has just recovered and needs more rest."

"I didn't expect this little fox to be so greedy."

Seeing that they had to wait for a while before leaving, Que Ying went to the attic of the high platform first, built a charcoal basin, set up a shelf for warming wine, and put a few plates of pastries and side dishes on the table.

When everyone came to the attic, it was not only brightly lit, but also very warm.

Xuan Luo followed Anya into the attic, and his calm state of mind finally set off unstoppable waves, "My lord, there is news of the spiritual rain."

Everyone followed Xuan Luo, and Bai Jing and Su Yang had heard a little about Ye Lingyu and Jiang You, so everyone sat around the round table in tacit agreement on the futon.

Anya took a jug of wine, pulled out the cork, put it under her nose, sniffed it lightly, and put it on the wine warming rack, the room immediately wafted a burst of wine aroma.

"Yes, but not so soon, there are some things they need to confirm."

Xuan Luo's gaze flickered, "It's really... Dao Gu?"

"I didn't expect that Dao Gu, who has always acted weirdly, would be like this..." Anya kept her attention on the rest of the jug, and sighed softly, "I heard about Dao Gu when I was very young." His name, his parents have always had a good impression of him, he is good at refining gu, and he is not involved in evil... I didn't expect Yin Yang Pavilion to change him so much."

When talking about the matter between Yinyang Pavilion and Yu Linglong, Anya would naturally downplay it. After all, in the eyes of Tang and Song Dynasties, the cause and effect of all this is not all about Yu Linglong.

It is also obvious that these topics, except for Que Ying and Tang Song, the other three people here do not understand these topics at all.

What is Yin Yang Pavilion, who is Dao Gu?

Fortunately, they are smart people, and they all choose to remember the problems secretly, and then slowly integrate and sort them out.

Xuan Luo's eyes reflected the candlelight on the lamp stand, and a hint of compassion gradually emerged, "If it's really him, then Jiang You..."

Anya brushed the wine glass with her fingertips, "I made a fortune, it's not a dead end, I think there will be room for reversal, when Ling Yu comes back, I'll find out by asking."

Seeing what Anya said, Xuan Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to Bai Jing, "I don't know what happened in City Z? And that ancient tomb, what happened?"

Bai Jing didn't expect the topic to change so quickly, so he coughed lightly, "Let's talk about City Z first, I went back and investigated the departments that were transferred before, and it turned out that they were not dismissed, but transferred to a department near City Z." processing plant."

As soon as he mentioned City Z, Qian Yan couldn't help answering, "What processing factory?"

"All kinds of processing, including banknotes and coins." Seeing the surprise in Qianyan's eyes, Bai Jing said seriously, "It's just fake currency."

"Why do you want to make fake) coins?" This question was really puzzling, and he turned to look at Xuan Luo.

"It may be to create market turmoil. If a large amount of counterfeit currency flows into the market, if no solution can be found..." Xuan Luo gestured slightly with his eyes, and then threw the answer to Qian Yan.

"The government will lose its credibility, then..."

Bai Jing followed Qianyan's words and said in a deep voice: "The people are in dire straits, and the world is in chaos."

"But why do you do this?" Su Yang was originally a pure-hearted person, and he really couldn't figure out how these things were related to those things.

Because of Su Yang's question, everyone was silent. Anya poured the hot wine into everyone's cups, while Que Ying took a pack of hot milk from the charcoal basin and handed it to Qianyan.

"I think I may know the reason." Tang Song got up and pushed open the window, because there was enough charcoal in the room, and the topic was heavy, the atmosphere was a little boring, "I remember Linglong said that the existence of human beings is a constant waste of resources. There is no one, there will be real peace."

Everyone's eyes fell straight to Tang Song's back reflecting the moonlight.

"If the Dao Gu comes from the Yinyang Pavilion, and has an infinite lifespan." Tang Song's tone was light, "Today's world...is short of resources and has a large population...I think he doesn't want too many people to share the pie, since There are too many people sharing the pie, only..."

Xuan Luo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "You mean, Dao Gu wants to liquidate?"

"I'm just guessing."

Listening to the conversation between Tang Song and Xuan Luo made everyone else nervous.

"What do you mean, triggering a world war?" Bai Jing's eyes kept shaking between the two of them.

"The word liquidation, I also heard from You Ming, is a synonym for Yinyang Pavilion. If a city needs to be liquidated, then the people in this city will die." Xuan Luo brushed the wine glass with his fingertips, and took a sip , "Just like rebuilding after a disaster, everything here is brand new."

"The brand new...isn't it human? What's more, if there are no people, this world may not...at least be without creativity and labor." Su Yang analyzed rigorously, and suddenly remembered the puppets in the fishing village, " Wouldn’t it be human after reconstruction?”

"That's what I'm worried about. Judging from the puppets in Happy City, Dao Gu controls a large number of puppets." Xuan Luo drank the old wine in the cup, recalling what Nanao said, "That little fox also said, There are only a handful of people she sees, and the people who serve her are all puppets, and manipulating the existence of these puppets is just a reminder."

Although the problem began to move towards clarity, it seemed to be entering a bottomless abyss. Although it is not clear what the purpose of Dao Gu is, no matter what it is... it will not be a good result.

"What the hell does he think of people!?" Qian Yan thought of the possible dangers in the Z city she once wanted to protect, and she wished to bring Dao Gu to justice immediately.

Suddenly, I felt that this idea was too naive.

"This question should be asked in reverse." Bai Jing looked slightly disdainful, "What does he think of himself?"

"Since he already has an infinite lifespan, he naturally regards himself as a god." Xuan Luo said an extremely cold joke with no ups and downs in his voice.

"God?" Bai Jing's dark and clear eyes glanced at the few people in front of him, "Then why didn't you think so?"

These straightforward words caught everyone's attention, causing Bai Jing to think that he had said something wrong, glanced at Su Yang beside him, and then at Tang Song, "Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not, but it hit a problem that we all ignored." Xuan Luo raised his hand and interrupted all the surrounding voices, his eyes were heavy, as if he was trying to think about something, and suddenly raised his eyebrows to look at Anya, "My lord, I Think we're really going to have to think long term."

The four eyes met, and Anya's eyes flickered with hesitation, "What did your highness remember?"

Tang Song saw that Xuan Luo's expression was a little hesitant to speak, maybe there was something wrong, she didn't want other people to hear, she took the words, "Dao Gu and you belong to the same period, presumably no one knows his character and personality better than you. Purpose, not only can we not help here, but it may also affect your thinking, I will take them to taste the plum blossom tea I made today...you can go directly to the Nuan Pavilion to find us later."

Xuan Luo looked at Tang Song in a blink of an eye, and nodded his head slightly to express his gratitude.

In a blink of an eye, only Anya and Xuan Luo were left in the attic. Anya looked at their backs through the window, turned around and said, "What did the princess think of?"

"I was thinking of something, but at the moment... I don't know how to start." Xuan Luo said lightly, his dark eyes fell on the guqin under the window, "Lingyu really tastes good, it's really a good piano."

Because of what happened to You Ming, Anya has been paying attention to Xuan Luo's expression every moment, and glanced at the guqin beside her, "I haven't heard the sound of the piano by Her Royal Highness for many years, since there are some problems that I can't figure out, how about playing a piece? "

Xuan Luo took a deep breath, walked over and sat cross-legged, raised his hand to simply adjust the silk string, fingertips lightly plucked, and the rhyme like a stream flowed out slowly.

"Good piano."

Anya picked up the flagon and leaned against the window, "Listen carefully."

……

A song "Reminiscence of Luoyue" came out from the attic, and it was said that the sound of the piano can quiet people, and at the same time it can quiet oneself.

Xuan Luo used this method to soothe his mood.

Such a beautiful piano sound also attracted several people in the warm pavilion in the courtyard.

"This is..." The corners of Su Yang's lips curled slightly, "It's such a beautiful piano sound."

Listening to the melodious qin sound, Tang Song stopped making tea in his hands and said appreciatively, "I heard from Ya that Xuan Luo's qin sound is truly amazing."

"It is indeed the sound of the princess' piano." Du Kui, who came over with tea, confirmed.

Qian Yan looked at Du Kui in disbelief, "Is it really Xuan Luo playing?"

"Yeah." Dukui went to the window and opened the window a little, so that the sound of the piano could come in more clearly for everyone to enjoy. "At that time, among the few things that were well-known in Xianyang City, Mr. Ya's Piccolo, Princess Wuyang's qin, I've been lucky enough to have heard it once."

Bai Jing, who has always liked classical music, did not participate in their topic, but closed his eyes involuntarily.

……

A faint qin sound that has nothing to do with wind and moon, accompanied by the white snow outside the window, washes away the worries in the heart and erases the dullness between the eyebrows.

At the end of the song, Xuan Luo raised his head, looked at the dark night, and took a deep breath.

"grown ups."

"Princess, please speak."

There is no trace of waves in Xuanluo's deep eyes, it is as quiet as a windless lake, "You Ming once briefly told me about the Yinyang Pavilion, the Dao Gu's ambition may have already existed, and it has been hidden all the time. The reason is probably..."

"It's Yu Linglong."

"That's right." Xuan Luo turned his head and looked at Anya, "I feel that the adults don't want Tang and Song to know too much, am I wrong?"

……

The author has something to say: There are many loves in the world, not necessarily just love. Xuan Luo has been obsessed with Anya for so many years, and now the love she keeps is both family and friendship.
