Not long after that, Lidong will be the first snow on Jialou Mountain. This year’s first snow comes later than in previous years.

Although it is the door owner's birthday as soon as the beginning of winter is over, during this period of time, the Jiutianmen are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground.But on Lidong, Yanqing still prepared seasonal game delicacies, and invited Lin Jinhuan and Jinyi to come to the Sanmai Cottage to cook wine and enjoy the snow.

When Lin Jinhuan walked into the Sanmai Cottage, he found that Xue Yao was there. It seemed that he and Jin Yi had been drinking for a while.

Although Xue Yao's face was calm, his eyelids were slightly red.After drinking some wine, Jin Yi returned to her true self as a silly elder sister, and pestered Xue Yao to compete with him.Seeing that Jinyi couldn't be stopped, Yanqing simply kept his eyes out of the way and kept roasting the venison by himself.

These days, the relationship between Lin Jinhuan and Xue Yao is still not salty, and the two are not as close as before.Because of Lin Jinhuan's intentional restraint and the incident of erecting pupils, Jialou pheasants were flying like dogs, he and Xue Yao hadn't seen each other for some days.

Jinyi was obviously smelling of alcohol, and when she saw Lin Jinhuan coming in from the door, she got up and pulled him to sit next to Xue Yao before he took off his fox fur.

"Why so slow." Jin Yi returned to her seat and sat down, complaining dissatisfiedly.

"It's snowing heavily on the road." Lin Jinhuan was able to take off his fox fur cloak and threw it aside.

"Drink something warm." Xue Yao didn't look at Lin Jinhuan, but just poured a glass of wine and pushed it to his hand.

Lin Jinhuan's capacity for alcohol is extremely poor, basically down to one glass.But he stared at the glass of wine on the table, picked it up and took a sip.

The old Zhuyeqing is really strong, a small sip burns to the heart, and Lin Jinhuan's eyes suddenly become a little hazy.The room is lit with hard bone charcoal, small wine is boiling on the small red clay stove, and steam is rising from the small brass pot.Lin Jinhuan just came out of the snowstorm, the sudden warmth made him feel lazy from the bottom of his heart.

As always, Jin Yi was crazy about herself, and she could drink a drink and make a noise. On the way, she ran into the snow and set off fireworks, which almost exploded the bonsai garden in Yanqing.Yanqing was a hard worker, he managed to save the few remaining pots of five-needle pine, and was very busy in front of the pot.

Lin Jinhuan can play everything with both hands, and he can play well, only his piano skills are really ordinary.But he still couldn't stand Jin Yi Yanqing's swaying, and he personally caressed the appropriate song "Green Mountains Flying Snow".

"Ayao, I was thinking that you shouldn't look for that oiran lady Shen Zhaobi all day long." In the misty sound of the piano, Jin Yi put Xue Yao's shoulders, and said with a big tongue: "I see that my junior brother's piano skills are also very good." It's not bad."

The sound of the piano in Lin Jinhuan's hand was suddenly heavy, and the clang was exciting.He raised his eyes and glared at Jin Yi, who grinned triumphantly at him.

Xue Yao didn't seem to be in a good mood today, he didn't talk much, and he drank whenever he could.Yan Qing and Jin Yi took turns to fight, but they didn't overwhelm Xue Yao. Instead, they sprawled on the ground and passed out drunk.Fortunately, the house was lit with warm coals, so it couldn't freeze in such a snowy night.

"It's just the two of us left." Xue Yao looked at Yan Qing and Jin Yi lying on the ground and said to Lin Jinhuan.In fact, Xue Yao was already quite drunk, but his alcohol smell was not on his face, so there was no clue on the surface.

At this time, the fire in the stove had been extinguished, the sound of the zither had stopped, and the snowy night had returned to its original silence.

Lin Jinhuan saw Xue Yao staring out the window in a daze, as if he was not in a good mood, so he asked, "Are you worried?"

"What can I worry about." Xue Yao turned around and smiled nonchalantly. He raised the wine glass in front of Lin Jinhuan and said with a smile: "I think I have never had a drink with you. If you don't drink today, you can drink." There's no chance."

Xue Yao's light words pierced a big hole in Lin Jinhuan's heart.He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, his eyes immediately turned red.

Lin Jinhuan is indeed a person who can't drink too much, and he almost falls over after drinking a cup of green bamboo leaves.But he insisted on filling his wine glass, and lightly touched Xue Yao's glass. Before Xue Yao could react, he raised his head and did it first.

After the second glass of wine, a double image appeared in front of Lin Jinhuan's eyes.Lin Jinhuan can't drink but the wine tastes good. Although he was very drunk at this time, he still took the jug and filled himself with a third glass.

Xue Yao held Lin Jinhuan's hand that was about to drink.

"Can you still hear me clearly?" Xue Yao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lin Jinhuan's eyes.

Lin Jinhuan looked directly into Xue Yao's eyes, nodded calmly, and grabbed Xue Yao's hand the next moment, and fell back on the Arhat bed behind him.

At this moment, all his strength was lost, but he still held on to that knuckle hand tightly.This hand didn't break free, and quietly let him hold it.

After a while, he felt another hand touch his forehead lightly, and then a voice sounded.

"Lin Jinhuan."

He was familiar with this voice, but the tone was gentle like he had never heard before.

"En." Lin Jinhuan wanted to look at that person very much, he tried to open his eyes, and responded softly in his throat: "I'm here."

With blurred vision, he saw that person saying to him: "In the next few days, you have to solve the vertical pupil issue smoothly and survive safely, can you do it?"

What's the problem?Lin Jinhuan thought to himself and nodded to him.

The man hesitated for a long time, and when Lin Jinhuan was about to fall asleep, he said again: "Can you not be the little sect master?"

How could this be possible, Lin Jinhuan shook his head with the last sliver of clarity, their old Lin family was a single lineage.Besides, he still has important things to do after he formally takes over as sect master.

Seeing Lin Jinhuan's refusal, the man was silent for a moment, and after a while, the voice asked again: "Have you ever thought about leaving Jialou Mountain to live elsewhere, such as Jiangnan, Mobei, um...or the capital?"

Lin Jinhuan froze for a moment, then nodded again.How nice it is to go to the capital, Xue Yao is in the capital.

After a long time, the voice asked in a low voice: "Will you...will you hate me in the future?"

The voice sounded sad, so sad that Lin Jinhuan's heart was about to be pulled.But before he could answer this question, he couldn't hold on anymore, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

***

A group of graceful women each held a red sandalwood tray in their hands. They walked through the plum garden, passed through the rich gates, bypassed the corridor, and came to the front of the hall step by step.

There are honey-soaked plum blossoms, wine-boiled jade mushrooms, and Xuexia soup...all of which are seasonal delicacies that suit the occasion.

Ting Lan stepped over the threshold and came out of the hall. After checking the dishes one by one, she nodded slightly. The girls saluted and entered one by one with trays.

Before entering the door, Ting Lan turned around and looked at the snowflakes all over the sky. It has been a long time since there has been such a heavy snowfall on Jialou Mountain, Ting Lan thought.

Today is the birthday of Lin Chao, the lord of Jiutianmen, all the people from Jiutianmen who can be named have returned to Jialou Mountain and gathered here. The usually quiet Liuxiang Palace is particularly lively today.

When Ting Lan entered the hall, the song and dance had just finished, and the altar masters of each sub-altar were presenting birthday gifts one by one.

Lin Chao and Qin Chuqi were sitting at the head. Lin Chao was in a good mood today. He looked at the people under the steps with a smile on his face, and when he saw something interesting, he turned his head and whispered a few words to his wife beside him.

A few days ago, Lin Jinhuan had a big fight with Lin Chao in Liuxiang Palace, but fortunately he still attended Lin Chao's birthday banquet today.Lin Jinhuan sat alone at the bottom of Lin Chao, holding his glass of wine without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking.

Xue Yao and Yanqing Jinyi sat together, and most of them were young disciples. Although the disciples did not dare to make mistakes in front of the sect master, the atmosphere was relatively lively and lively.

"Hey, Ah Yao, just now I heard Master praised your birthday gift, what did you give to make him so happy?" Jin Yi asked curiously, she rarely heard Lin Chao praise anyone.

Xue Yao twisted a candied fruit into his mouth, and said vaguely, "It's not a birthday gift, but I asked the family to bring some local specialties that are good for the heart to Mrs. Qin."

Xiao Pei was tormented by Xue Yao's light words of "local specialties". It took him a lot of energy to collect these natural treasures that are very helpful for the treatment of heart diseases.

Sitting across from Xue Yao were several senior envoys and elders.The elders were happy and friendly on the surface, but there was no shortage of rivalries in private.

"This Wen Qiaohe really has no rules. He didn't show up on such an important day." Situ Kun took a sip of his wine and said angrily.

A good-tempered emissary next to him smoothed things over and said, "Elder Wen's character has always been like this, and besides, he has reached the most critical moment of retreat."

Situ Kun sneered, and was about to say something harsh to Wen Qiaohe, but was interrupted by exclamations from the hall.He followed the reputation, and it turned out that the dancers Chao Chaolou specially brought back from Jinling were performing dances, and I heard that the hottest oiran lady by the Qinhuai River was also among them.

Situ Kun also ignored Wen Qiaohe this time, and started admiring it intoxicated.

Shen Zhaobi is wearing a moon skirt with light gauze and wide sleeves today, her black hair is all pulled up, and she is combed in a delicate flying fairy bun.There are lotus silver bells on her wrists and ankles, and the silver bells jingle between her hands and feet.

Thirty fairy-like women dance lightly in this hall, making people feel as if they are in the secret realm of the fairy palace.

After the dance presentation in Chaochaolou began, Xue Yao changed his previous casual attitude. He sat up straight and stared intently at the graceful dancing woman in the hall.

"Why are you looking so serious." Yan Qing who was beside him coughed lightly, and reminded him in a low voice: "Madam Qin is talking to you."

Only then did Xue Yao look away, and turned to look at Qin Chuqi who was seated.

"Ayao, go down the mountain tomorrow, take care of everything." Qin Chuqi looked at Xue Yao, reluctantly said: "Come back and see."

Xue Yao smiled and said, "Mrs. Qin should also take good care of her body. As for the white salamander, don't worry about it. I will continue to take care of my wife after I return to Beijing."

After speaking, Xue Yao casually glanced to the side, and while drinking wine, he noticed that Lin Jinhuan's gaze had been on his body, and there seemed to be a thousand words in that deep gaze.

Xue Yao's eyes flashed, and he looked away as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the sound of music in the hall surged like the wind blowing pine waves, and the dancing steps of the dancers became more and more light and agile. Countless colorful butterflies floated out of their wide sleeves, dancing up and down with the music. fly.

As soon as the colorful butterflies came out, the whole audience was amazed. Rao, such a scene is rare in the fairy gate. Some young disciples couldn't help stretching out their hands to play with the butterflies.

The original passionate piano sound became clear and melodious, like fairy music.The butterflies gathered in the air gradually dispersed.Among the butterflies flying all over the sky, Huo Qingquan fell from the sky in a plum-patterned floor-length skirt, holding a mother-of-pearl red sandalwood lute in her hand, and a gemstone like a cat's eye on her forehead, just like a goddess descending to earth.

It turns out that the piano sound just now was played by Huo Qingquan.

Huo Qingquan handed the piano to the dancer beside him, and came to Lin Chao's seat with a white jade box in his hand.She lifted the jade box over her head, and slowly fell down/body.

"I wish the master of the sect a prosperous and bright sun and moon, and Songhe Changchun."

Lin Chao didn't go down the steps, he sat on the top and said condescendingly to Huo Qingquan: "Elder Huo has a heart."

Hearing this, Huo Qingquan stood up, opened the white jade box in his hand, and a blue light burst out from the time box.After the light dissipated, a huge blue butterfly was flying in mid-air, flapping its wings.

This blue butterfly is different from the ones seen in ordinary times. It is five feet long and blue all over.There are two pairs of wings on the left and right, and the patterns on the wings are very unique, like a pair of beautiful eyes with various styles.

"Good! Wonderful!" Even Situ Kun, who was at odds with Huo Qingquan on weekdays, couldn't help applauding in the face of this situation.

The music sounded again and again in the hall, and the dancer girl continued to dance lightly upon hearing the sound, and the colorful butterflies scattered all over the hall, and the butterflies landed on the guests in twos and threes, as if they were playing around.

After the blue butterfly stayed in the air for a while, it flew to Huo Qingquan's side and danced with her.

This magnificent scene is really rare to see, and everyone present is amazed, making people immersed in it unknowingly.

Xue Yao carefully looked at the butterfly resting on his fingertips, feeling more and more uneasy.He frantically waved the butterfly away from his fingertips, and turned to look at the huge blue butterfly.

He suddenly remembered the "Notes on the Eight Desolation Classics" that Lin Jinhuan asked Jinyi to bring to him that day.

——In the Great Southern Wilderness, there is an evil thing called the Soul Eater...colored and blue...can actually eat human souls...

And that blue disc.

Xue Yao suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Jinhuan, who was also looking at him.The two looked at each other and jumped out almost at the same time.

"Don't let those butterflies get close!" Lin Jinhuan chopped the little pink butterfly in front of him into pieces with a wave of his palm, but it was still a step too late.

The heavy door closed slowly in front of him, Huo Qingquan pushed aside the crowd and walked out from the crowd.

Huo Qingquan closed the white jade box in his hand and said with a smile: "It's too late."
