After that, neither of them spoke.

All I could hear was snow falling on the roof, gradually obliterating the row of ridge beasts.The snow that the two walked through did not leave any footprints, and it was still fresh and flawless.

After a silence, He Jiuqing said: "I forgot to ask just now, why did my little friend appear in Chang'an alone?"

His voice was still gentle, with a little warmth, as if the gaffe just now was just an illusion of too much wind and snow.

Gu Jinxiao paused, and said softly: "I found out about Situ Zheng's whereabouts, and someone saw him appearing in Chang'an."

"Chang'an?" He Jiuqing murmured, then smiled lightly, "Brother, I did a fortune-telling for you. You should have searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, but when you looked back, that person was in a dimly lit place."

"You mean, I don't need to look for it?"

The two walked into an elegant and quiet courtyard.

He Jiuqing put away his umbrella and stood with his hands behind his back. On his face covered with white gauze, he had an elegant and mysterious smile: "Situ Zheng is free, so he has his own reasons for not showing up. Now that Ghost Sword is back in the rivers and lakes, presumably he should too." showed up."

"Senior Brother He's news is very timely. Tingfeng Pavilion released the news to inform the whole Jianghu that the ghost sword was stolen in Qilin Villa. Seven days later, Tingfeng Pavilion will auction off the only clue to the ghost sword."

He Jiuqing laughed softly: "That's not very good. You see, Situ Zheng will definitely come when he hears about the theft of the Ghost Sword. Naturally, Mu Junhou will also go. If you are only looking for someone for Mu Junhou, you only need to Just tell him the news."

Gu Jinxiao shook his head: "More than that, I want a ghost sword."

He Jiuqing was not surprised, walked through the moon gate unhurriedly, and walked into the private room: "I'm afraid the one who wants the ghost sword is not Xiaoyou, but Ah Tian."

The two sat facing each other in the water pavilion surrounded by hot springs.

He Jiuqing handed the brand of the poetry book that he ordered to Gu Xiangzhi: "You pick the one you like, just put the brand in this lotus leaf boat, and the food box will come down from the upstream in the boat."

After doing all this, he waved his sleeves like a stream, and he took out a jar of plum blossom wine.The wine jar is as delicate as water-blue glazed jade, and the wine inside is filled with translucent plum petals, and when it is opened, it exudes a fragrance of ice and snow.

He Jiuqing waved again, and two simple-colored wine cups appeared.

The wine cup is very shallow, the mouth of the bowl is huge, and the color is like pebbles in the mountain stream.The clear plum blossom wine is poured into it, like a mountain stream with a few translucent plum blossom ripples.

Gu Jinxiao looked down and said softly, "Senior Brother He's wine is very nice."

He Jiuqing showed no sense of modesty, and smiled warmly: "That's why senior brother is called Jiuqing. Wine is a thing of the world, and it is most suitable for us to enter the world for enlightenment. But if the heart of enlightenment is too much, this wine will be dull. Senior brother has not seen it for a long time. If you're drunk, you can only make wine for comfort. If you like it, I'll give you another one after drinking this one."

"Thank you, Brother He."

"Between you and me, why be polite?" He Jiuqing poured wine for the two of them until the cups were [-]% full, picked up one of them, and drank slowly.

Gu Jinxiao also drank it slowly, the mouth was cool and then became moist, as if he suddenly sniffed a handful of the dark fragrance under the snow, the aftertaste faded away quickly, and then there was a long aftertaste of sweetness.

It really is a good wine.

"The ghost sword is the sword of an alchemist. Brother He has been here for more than a hundred years, but he seems to have no interest in this sword?"

He Jiuqing stroked his inseparable sword, which was like a peach blossom carved from white jade.I don't know what it looks like after the sword is drawn, but it looks like white jade flawless, as if it has never been stained with blood.More like a decorative jade than a sword.

"My sword is called Zhaoying. To tell you the truth, I have been in charge of the ghost sword that my little friend mentioned for a while, but it's a pity that I didn't have a fate."

Gu Jinxiao didn't expect that He Jiuqing had actually seen that sword, and he was also considered to be the former owner of the ghost sword.

He said: "The ghost sword in Ah Chen's hand, I have also held it before. It doesn't have any sense of heaven and earth spiritual energy, it's just a relatively outstanding mortal thing. What does the sword that Senior Brother He has seen look like?" of?"

"It seems that the ghost sword of Qilin Villa was lost earlier than what Tingfeng Pavilion knew, so it seems that what Xiaoyou met was already a fake." He Jiuqing said calmly while drinking wine calmly, "That ghost sword, even if it is touched by an ordinary person, will feel a strong evil spirit. It is indeed a black iron weapon that has sealed off evil spirits."

"I see, thank you Senior Brother He." Gu Jinxiao nodded.

He Jiuqing seemed to be thinking, and turned to Gu Xiangzhi: "Actually, if Ah Tian wants a ghost sword, it's very simple. You don't need to run around. This time, listening to Fengge is just the news of the ghost sword being auctioned. You don't have to." If you intervene, someone will get the news and find the whereabouts of the sword. Although Qilin Villa lost the sword, Rong Chen's name in Jianghu is still ghost sword. In the end, no matter who gets the sword, they must first pass the level of Qilin Villa. At that time, as long as there is a person with strong martial arts in Baidi City, he can win against Rong Chen. Or, directly to Lin Zhao The moon borrows the sword."

Gu Jinxiao lowered her eyebrows, and just said: "The night is full of dreams. Ever since I met Lin Youhuang, I have always felt that there is an invisible alchemist behind me, who has been controlling the situation. I am afraid that if I slow down a step, the sword will never be found again." arrive."

He Jiuqing's voice was very soft: "Ah Tian wants the ghost sword, is it because of a man named Zhong Qing?"

Gu Jinxiao paused while drinking, and looked up at him.

He Jiuqing seemed to be smiling, but the arc was very shallow. He smiled and sighed: "Since he wants it, I'll take this trip for you."

"He just wanted to know what happened to the person who was sealed 300 years ago."

He Jiuqing nodded his head: "I know, he also asked me. I just didn't expect that he would have such a big obsession. I thought he was just buying information from the school, but I didn't expect to find out about that person. , he did not hesitate to set up a secret building."

Gu Jinxiao was stunned, and said lightly: "The Tianji Building is just a matter of convenience. I am the owner. Even if there is no bell, the Tianji Building will still be built. It may not be some obsession, but he wants to know. Someone just happens to stop him. After fighting each other in the air, things have come to this point."

He Jiuqing drank the wine by himself, sighing: "There is no way to avoid it. So what if you know? So what if you win? It's just that, it will only increase your worries."

"Senior Brother He is detached from the world, but Gu Jinxiao is not." Gu Jinxiao's eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly, "300 years ago, the Yan family took the lead, and the soldiers unsealed the bell. 300 years later, the blood sacrifice failed by mistake. , the seal was broken, and Zhong Qing was able to escape from the world. Everyone said he was a monster, why didn't Brother He end up?"

He Jiuqing lowered his head and kept pouring himself a drink. He drank very quickly, but he didn't look drunk. He said casually, "Senior Brother, you are in Luohua Valley. At that time, you were fainted by Duan Maomao's medicine. Maybe you don't remember clearly. .Later A-Tian showed up and stood beside that person. I took you back to Taibai Peak."

Gu Jinxiao slowly put down the wine cup, and licked her lips that were wet with the wine: "Senior Brother He, did you already know Lin Youhuang's identity at that time?"

"There is a deep evil spirit and malice in him. However, the power of heaven and earth is on his side. We cannot change it. Others are not very clear. Alchemists walk in this world and the netherworld, and some cause and effect span For many years, all monsters and evil spirits were born of the human heart. And I, seeing the ending, may not be able to control it."

He Jiuqing finished speaking slowly, lifted his chin lightly, seemed a little bit drunk, and said with a smile: "Little friend, after listening to this, do you think that Senior Brother He doesn't seem to be very powerful? Are you disappointed?"

Gu Jinxiao looked at him quietly, his nose bridge was very high, even with his eyes covered with white gauze, his handsome face was three-dimensional.

"No. Brother He is very powerful. I can't see the future ending, and I don't know the cause and effect."

He Jiuqing stretched out his hand, stroked Gu Xiangzhi's head lightly, as if comforting a child, and said with a smile: "Knowing this is expensive, but it may not be useful. It's good that you don't know. Today's conversation, don't Tell Ah Tian."

"Why?" He stroked his head gently, this feeling is very subtle, but not annoying.

He Jiuqing chuckled softly: "Of course it's because senior brother doesn't want Ah Tian to know, and there are things I can't do. Didn't you also say that senior brother always pays attention to image."

Without waiting for Gu Xiangzhi to answer, he changed his voice and raised his chin slightly: "The food ordered by my friend is here."

Sure enough, upstream of the hot spring, a row of small boats filled with food boxes floated steadily and slowly.

"Let's eat. Senior brother will take you to play in Chang'an these few days." He Jiuqing himself didn't move his chopsticks much. Although he said that he was rarely drunk, he had been drinking all the time.

Bai Sha blindfolded her eyes and couldn't see his face. On the face that always had a thin and warm smile, she could only see a little bit of drunkenness, as if the more she drank, the more she became sober.

"Senior Brother He, what do you like about him?"

"I don't know, the first time I saw him, it was like a sky that had been gloomy for a whole winter, and at that moment the clouds broke and the sky cleared."

Then there was silence, Gu Jinxiao ate silently, and that person kept drinking the wine that would never stop getting drunk.

"When he looked at me, his heart was beating so fast, I felt like I knew him a long time ago. Last life or more. I have been in this world for many years, I have been alone, I have been doing well, and I have never needed anyone. , never thought of needing anyone. But when he looked at me, he suddenly felt very lonely. It seemed that countless times in the past were just waiting for him to appear. I was suddenly very anxious and wanted to say a lot. But it was like It's like a nightmare, and I can't say a word."

Gu Jinxiao's chopsticks stopped a long time ago, he didn't raise his eyes, but just listened quietly with lowered eyes, not for a moment.

Thinking of the dilapidated Taoist temple, the dust fell, and I saw his face covered with white gauze, handsome and elegant, calm and unflappable.That robe, which was as luxurious as the frosty moon, was draped over Gu Xiangzhi's body.Wearing single clothes, he has a narrow waist, a tall figure, and a straight back. It seems that he has never bent, but he has no arrogance. Holding a sword wrapped in peach blossoms like a relief, he looks like a son of a family.

The man's voice was clear and clean, as warm as a spring breeze, and asked him with a smile——Brother Dao, what does this mean?Could it be that I misunderstood something?

The first thing he said to him was - can't you see?

"I have had that dream of meeting countless times, and I missed it every time. I can't tell whether it is reality or not when I wake up from the dream. I feel that the world is like this. There is no difference between today and tomorrow... If he asked me what I like, I can't answer a word, I just want to call his name."

"If there is only one kind of wine in this world that can make me drunk, the name of that kind of wine must be Gu Jinxiao."

For a long time, no sound was heard again.

Gu Jinxiao raised her eyes slowly, and saw the man propped his forehead, motionless.

He just looked at it like this without moving. After a long time, he slowly reached out and touched his lower lip lightly from the air.

"Me too."

In the quiet air, there seemed to be nothing, and there was an inaudible response.
