Patting off the snowflakes on his head, Gu Shengyu let out a breath of white air, and handed the plum branch in his hand to Kalubi.
"It's really strange to see plum trees here."
After a series of getting along with Gu Shengyu, Kalubi has gotten used to not opposing his actions.Because the facts always prove that the purpose behind this person's actions is definitely not as simple as he imagined.
After taking over the blooming Samuume, the bright red stamens are inside the pure white petals, and the beautiful life between the red and white is evil.
Twirling the flower stem with his fingertips, Kalubi, who has a whiter complexion than the petals, looked at it quietly and said, "Yu Rui once told me that there are many interesting things in Tang Dynasty, including all kinds of flowers."
Looking at the clear blue sky, Gu Shengyu said peacefully: "The Central Plains is vast and abundant, even people who have lived here for thousands of years may not be able to understand all of it. But fortunately, we are always willing to explore, just like your hand. this flower."
"I don't know who was the first to discover the plum blossom and give it a name. In short, after that day, people from every house can enjoy the beauty of this snowy night. They used different phrases and languages to praise it. I was still in a In the remote ancient peoples, they learned that the plum blossoms that bloom in winter are worshiped as gods. Just because few lives can survive in the lonely winter, they are deeply convinced of this harshness, so they worship the growing plum blossoms even more. Fragrant and eye-catching snow plum.”
Kalubi waited until he finished speaking, then raised his head quietly.
"You know what? Sometimes you feel like Yu Rui to me."
Gu Shengyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "My honor."
The two were quiet for a while, he looked in the direction of the sun, Gu Shengyu said: "It's getting late, let's go."
Kalubi nodded: "Okay."
Although the speed of the two black figures was limited by the rough and slippery snow road, the time it took for ordinary people to reach the restaurant on the mountainside was not too slow.
Open the windshield curtain made of thick fur, and you can see the raging fire burning in the stove as soon as you enter the door, which instantly awakens people's desire for warmth.
The smell of bad wine is everywhere in the room, and the fragrant and spicy roast leg of lamb is served table by table.
There are few windows to the outside of the house, and it is difficult for wind and snow to enter, so after Gu Shengyu and the others entered the house, they could feel the benefits of a well-built room.
After a while, the two of them were sweating, took off their expensive leather jackets and cloaks, and found an empty table to sit down.
Xiao Er, who was born in Huashan, a treasured place of outstanding people, is really extraordinary, and his eyesight is comparable to that of a famous restaurant in Chang'an, the capital of the country.In an instant, he recognized Kalubi's fur coat as a high-quality black bear fur, which was smooth and slippery, and could not be worn easily.
When he noticed Gu Shengyu's cloak again, the hard-to-buy black fox fur didn't have any mottled color, and he gasped when he saw it.
Before Gu Shengyu greeted him, he stepped forward courteously, and then was shocked by Gu Shengyu's extraordinary demeanor.
Xiao Er blinked her eyes, trying to blink away the thought of "how does this man look like this", thinking of his wife and children trying to warn himself not to be dazzled by this man.
"The guests came at just the right time. The Xuelihong in the cellar had just come out of the altar, and the large piece of meat in the kitchen was being stewed until crispy. Take a sip of this ice-cold meat and eat a piece of meat, ouch! The taste is so delicious that it surpasses gods. !"
He held the cloth towel on his shoulders and wiped it flatteringly, but the tabletop was still greasy after many years.
Needless to say, Xiao Er's words really whetted their appetites.Drinking and eating meat is the ultimate enjoyment for every man.
Kalubi placed the plum blossoms brought along the way on the table, being careful not to let the fragile petals fall.Hearing Xiao Er's words, he looked at Gu Shengyu, who had already waved at this time.
"Come to the altar of xuelihong, and then a pot of meat. You can look at the rest of the side dishes. I want to see green."
Xiaoer said loudly: "Okay! Just wait a moment!" After speaking, he hurried to the back kitchen, opened the curtain and could see the heat inside, and the sheep's head was placed not far from the door.
This style of raising the curtain made Kalubi turn his head silently, and asked out of some mentality: "It is said that all the black shops in the Central Plains use human flesh for cooking?"
Gu Shengyu said very calmly: "It is said that human flesh is sour, but in fact it makes no difference if it is mixed with pork. You should eat it or eat it. At most, you know it after the fact. The psychological shadow is a bit heavy."
Kalubi: "..."
Although the Bahan people live a hard life, living underground for a long time, and eating moss that grows in the shade, they have never eaten human flesh.
And why did Gu Shengyu's words sound so casual that he had never heard of them before?
Seeing the horror flashing in the red eyes of the foreign friend, Gu Shengyu said unhurriedly: "I'm just kidding, I really believe it."
Kalubi: "..." He just believed it!
Gu Shengyu said again: "Actually, black shops are easy to deal with. First of all, you have to have experience. Second, you have to be more fierce, so fierce that you can kill them all, and then they will be honest. Then there is too much power behind them. They Can't afford to offend."
When he said this, Xiao Er was just serving the food, and Kalubi just pulled out the chopsticks from the wooden tube on the table, and Gu Shengyu spoke at this delicate timing.
Gu Shengyu said: "Yes, inexperienced people will use the tableware set by the restaurant. This subconsciously means that the person who comes to eat is a fat sheep and can be slaughtered and eaten."
While talking, he looked at Kalubi and the younger brother who stopped when he heard his words.
"That's why it's easy to turn yourself into a 'dish' when you eat."
Kalubi: "..."
Second brother: "..."
Gu Shengyu looked at the tender, crispy, fat but not greasy chunks of stew in the pot, and immediately pulled out the chopsticks from the chopstick holder in a good mood.
"Hurry up, the food is served, when will the wine be served? Second brother."
In the blink of an eye, he nonchalantly greeted Kalubi to eat quickly, and asked the second brother where Xue Lihong, who hadn't come up, went.
But do you remember what you just said?
The little second brother shuddered all of a sudden, as if nothing happened, it doesn't mean that others can remain indifferent.
The frightened Xiaoer came back to his senses from the imaginary scene of human flesh buns, and said with a wry smile: "Customer, we are here for serious business. Speaking of which, Taoist Chunyang lives on top of him. Is there any black shop in the world?" Dare to drive here? Aren’t you afraid that when you wake up in the middle of the night, you will be cut off by the Taoist priests holding long swords?”
Gu Shengyu was amused when he heard the words, "You are also interesting, Xiao Er."
The second elder brother shook his head, "I think you are a well-informed guest, so it's not intentional. Even if I say a few words, don't take offense. Don't say that in other places, and you will easily be kicked out by the boss. "As he spoke, he glanced at the old man with a livid face at the counter not far away.
Kalubi also seemed to understand his feelings, and said in a low voice: "The eyes of the people at the other table are wrong."
As an assassin in the dark, Yedi has always been sensitive to attention such as sight.
As soon as he said it, Gu Shengyu also realized that when he just spoke, there were already people at the next table watching the stewed toad, unable to vomit.
Gu Shengyu smiled, "I'm sorry." It's true that he didn't think carefully, and then he took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and threw it into the second hand, "It's compensation, go down and get the wine quickly, otherwise there will be meat No alcohol is a real disappointment.”
At any rate, Xiao Er was considered someone who had seen the world, so he was not dazzled by this piece of gold.
Every year, many nobles who want to go up the mountain to see Taoist Chunyang rest in their own inn. Although gold is rare, it is not without it.
But the weight of this gold is not small. As soon as he made a move, the boss who stared coldly at this side suddenly smiled.
The second elder brother hurriedly nodded and went down, and brought the good Xuelihong.
"You can drink it leisurely. This wine is made of locally grown red plums and snow plums. It will only be out of the altar after two years of storage. It is smooth and elegant in the mouth, and the snowy plum fragrance is refreshing when you eat it. , it’s so easy to get up when you drink too much!”
"You little brother is really warm-hearted," Gu Shengyu was in a good mood, smelling the fragrance of the wine jar after it was opened.
As Xiaoer said, the clearness of the fragrance of snow and the elegance of the fragrance of plum are intertwined together, like a little bit of beauty born in the snow, which is beyond the mortal world of the world.
When the second brother heard him praise him, he immediately laughed.
"You are a big customer, we have to take care of it, right?"
"Haha," Gu Shengyu smiled, and threw him a silver leaf, and he immediately went down gratefully.
After this back and forth, Kalubi's eyes were slightly puzzled and stunned.
Gu Shengyu didn't explain to him, and poured wine into the big bowl in front of him.
"Try it. After listening to him boasting so much, you still have to drink it yourself to know the taste."
As he spoke, he poured himself a bowl and took a sip.
Snow should not have a taste, and plums are also bitter. However, after the combination of the two, the snow is cold, and the astringency of plums around the tip of the tongue highlights the clearness of the wine. After careful tasting, there is still a slight sweetness of wine. The depths seep out.
There are so many changes in a sip of wine. Just from this point of view, this wine is already at the top level.
Satisfied, Gu Shengyu drank a few more sips, looked at Kalubi who was eating silently, and shook his head.
"You are really quite silent."
Kalubi saw his handsome face with smiling lips and unrestrained brows.
"Aren't you worried?"
Gu Shengyu said: "Of course I have."
Kalubi shook his head: "I can't see it." At least in the past half a month of being together, this person has always solved troubles with a smile. .
Gu Shengyu just smiled when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "What's wrong with me telling you a story?"
Kalubi was noncommittal.
Gu Shengyu's eyes fell on the wine, with nostalgia in his eyes.
"In fact, there is a kind of plum blossom that tastes better when mixed with wine."
When the fingers picked up the wine bowl, the unintentionally protruding bone edges and corners gave off a pale and elegant sense of thinness.His slow voice has a strange appeal when telling stories.Even the other noisy guests couldn't help listening to the conversation and listening with compassion.
In the midst of everyone's attention, Gu Shengyu slowly talked about a strange plum blossom.
This peanut is not in the middle of winter, but it always blooms in all seasons.The color of this flower is neither white nor red, but the color of black jade.This flower only blooms in one place, and that place is forbidden to strangers and difficult for outsiders to enter...
"This flower is called Moyu Plum Blossom."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the people who seemed to have been brought into another world by him, looked at the dazed expressions on their faces, and spoke with a bit of evil taste.
"The flowers are so delicate that ordinary fertilizers are difficult to raise. You have to use corpses to moisten the fertile soil to bloom dark plums. After the plum blossoms, the fragrance is sweet and attractive, and the whole body is black and green. It looks like a black jade crystal. The viewer is strange, and the breeder bother."
Kalubi: "...you deliberately..."
He was originally imagining what kind of style plum blossoms like crystal black jade would be, but he didn't expect Gu Shengyu to turn the harmless little flower into a man-eating shark.
The comparison between the front and back should not be too strong, okay?
Gu Shengyu spoke slowly when he saw that the people at the next table were intent on beating someone.
"In fact, you should have thought about it a long time ago. What rare things in the world do not deviate from common sense? There is a vast rainforest far away overseas. The plants growing there are dense and full of vitality. Among them, countless people participated in the fight in the biological layer as hunters."
"There are grasses that are shaped like a bucket and contain digestive juices to attract wild animals and insects to fall into them. There are also mouthparts that are as big as pot teeth. Every flower needs to swallow ten lives. Ten and one, that is, ten flowers can A piranha bearing a fruit..."
"For these plants that have been reduced to the bottom of the living world, how do we know that we are not fertilizer after death in their world, but something they use to eat."
The chopsticks moved the vegetables on the plate. In this winter snowy place, vegetables are much more expensive than meat, especially those vegetables with green leaves.
Gu Shengyu ate the green vegetables picked up by a pair of chopsticks, and continued calmly: "It's just a corpse to fatten up, don't make too much fuss."
Kalubi was speechless.
After the two finished eating and drinking, the entire lobby was extremely quiet. It wasn't until the two of them went upstairs that the atmosphere downstairs began to return to its usual lively atmosphere.
When the voice outside the house became louder, Gu Shengyu smiled slightly, stretched his waist, and planned to take off his clothes to rest, but paused when he unbuttoned his belt.
He glanced meaningfully at the wall connected to the next door, then washed and rested without any reaction.
In Kalubi's room next door, a note was being placed on the table.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw this thing and walked over to pick it up.
A line of exotic characters was written on the snow-white paper, shaped like a tadpole with rounded edges and corners.
After reading the above content, Kalubi burned it with a candle.
The ashes fell to the ground, and Kalubi's handsome brows cast a shadow and a murderous intent.His fair skin was as pale as his bones, and a dark monster seemed to be crawling out of his shadow.
The gray linen scarf around his neck stretches all the way down to his legs. It looks like a wide and thick cloak, but it is the mark of Ye Di, the killer of the dark world.
His waist-length gray hair fell back, and his stern face was expressionless.
Kalubi was summoned by Mingjiao, and he was going to kill someone.
Early the next morning, Gu Shengyu was awakened by the doorbell, got up and opened the door to fetch hot water and went back to the house.He opened the window next to the bed sleepily, and the cold air outside the window woke him up immediately.
After rubbing his hands and washing up, he put on his coat and went to the next door. Unsurprisingly, he didn't see anyone, but it was a surprise that a note was placed on the table.
After breakfast and tidying up, not long after Gu Shengyu left the inn, he was already walking on the stairs where he could see Chunyang Temple from a distance, recalling the message left by Kalubi in his mind.
To put it bluntly, the Chinese characters on the note have no style, the only thing that can be called neat. It seems that for this foreigner, he doesn't have much time to practice his brushwork.
But the general idea was conveyed, if there is something to do, go first, and then added a sentence of sorry at the end that revealed his embarrassment.
Gu Shengyu laughed after thinking about it, and bowed his head in Fenghua.It happened to be seen by the disciples guarding in front of the mountain gate, and the two Taoist priests of Chunyang almost lost their minds because of this.
After stepping up the last step and stopping in front of the huge Taoist hall, Gu Shengyu raised his head.
On the plaque in front of him is the word "Chunyangguan", the pure and upright Taoism is written between the lines of the pen and ink, and the handwriting is scattered, like an antelope hanging horns without a trace.
He stepped back a little, trying to see as clearly as possible what the Taoist temple that built the entire Qingxiu house in the mountain looked like.
The temple is built according to the mountain, the wall is chiseled to form an image, the surrounding environment is quiet, the ancient trees are caged, and the strange rocks sound...
After seeing it, Gu Shengyu asked himself well-informed, and couldn't help but marvel at the whimsy of the overall structure of this place.
With snow falling all the year round, Chunyang is a little more deserted and detached than other famous mountains.Looking down from a high place, the purple air is coming from the east, the sun is shining, and the whole mountain is as white as ice.There are also ancient pine branches protruding from the gorges, billowing clouds, looming pavilions and attics, and red-crowned cranes gradually disappearing from the mountain line.
Gu Shengyu came back to his senses, took out something and handed it to the disciple who guarded the gate, bluntly said to give it to Taoist Yu Rui.
"My name is very important. If you want to know who I am, then please ask Master Yu Rui to come here in person."
After leaving this unkind sentence, the two Chunyang disciples dare not say more because their demeanor is different from that of ordinary people.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
Already shocked, the two disciples looked at each other, and one of them went back to report.
Gu Shengyu stayed outside to admire the rumored Xueluo Chunyang.
After a short while, the trail leader's footsteps were not slow, and Yu Rui's slender figure had already approached from a distance.
When she arrived, she just heard Gu Shengyu chanting.
"Kunlun Profound Realm Mountains and mountains outside, there are caves in the universe, yin and yang. Just ask the real king where there is, and don't look for the sword fairy in the rivers and lakes."
"What a Xunjianxian!" Yu Rui felt that this person was very human when he saw it, and the short seven-character poem fully expressed the true meaning of Chunyang.
Gu Shengyu had already noticed when she was approaching, but he still spoke out the poems that vaguely appeared in his mind.
That was a memory many years ago, and he only remembers these sporadic fragments now.
He laughed at himself in his heart, but the mellow and smooth state of mind quickly brushed away the ripples, and he said calmly: "No, there is a sword fairy in Chunyang Palace. It is a secular word of mouth. I can only see the magnificent scene here, and piece it together , I mentioned it a little bit, which made Daoist Yu laugh."
After hearing this, Yu Rui felt that this person was extraordinary. At first, she thought he was such an arrogant person when she heard rumors from her disciples.
"Why should you be modest, Mr. When it comes to writing, Mr.'s 'patchwork' is enough to make most self-proclaimed talents ashamed." Speaking of this, the beautiful woman flicked her sleeves, "Mr. came from a long way, please enter Chunyang first. It’s not too late to talk when the time comes.”
Gu Shengyu did not resist Yu Rui's arrangement, and bowed his hands in salute: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
"Please sir."
Along the way, Gu Shengyu saw all the wind and clouds in the sky, a magnificent spectacle, the eaves and bucket arches in the middle are connected by lying snow, covered by clouds and fog all the year round, very spiritual, the front and rear Tai Chi squares, and the Wuji Dojo are quiet and quiet, it is a holy place for practicing Taoism and martial arts .
After seeing it, Gu Shengyu couldn't help but praise the view of Chunyang, it's so beautiful.
Yu Rui didn't like it, but asked Gu Shengyu with a smile if he wanted to visit Lunjian Peak and Sanqing Palace again.
The Sanqing Hall is the first hall in Chunyang, and Qi Jin takes care of it on weekdays.Every year, the emperor would go up to the mountain to worship, so the decoration is magnificent and majestic.Although it is a palace, it does not have the grandeur and wealth, but is solemn and solemn, showing the style of Taoism.
And Lunjian Peak is even more legendary. It is said that Lu Dongbin, the founder of Chunyang Taoism, competed with the world's masters of martial arts here, and his epiphany soared.
This peak is located at the top of the northern part of Chunyang, with flying snow dancing all the year round, it looks like a fairyland, and Lu Zu left a book on the rocky wall under the sword pine.
Years pass by, waiting for the younger generations who are destined to understand the mystery.
Yu Rui can be said to be very good at talking, with witty remarks and ingenious thoughts in the process of walking.If it weren't for Gu Shengyu's own knowledge that can't be limited to this world, maybe she would be speechless at what she said, nodding repeatedly and becoming a respondent.
Because of this, Gu Shengyu is more aware that Yu Rui is extraordinarily vigilant towards him.
Yu Rui took out a white handkerchief until the two of them reached a place where there was no one around, and if someone came, they would not be able to hide it from them.
This object is exactly the token that Gu Shengyu invited Yu Rui to come to see in person.
The white silk was opened by Qian's fingers a few times, and a hollow pattern with sharp edges and symmetrical shapes was painted on the inside.
After Yu Rui opened it, he said with an unclear expression: "You...why come?"
Gu Shengyu rolled his eyelids and said calmly, "It seems that you still remember him."
he.
It was Kalubi.
What is painted on the square handkerchief is exactly the pattern drawn on Kalubi's forehead.
Since Yu Rui knew Kalubi, it was impossible to admit his mistake.
Gu Shengyu had a plan when he came here. If he said that he was Kalubi's friend, Yu Rui, who was depressed, would definitely evade it.But handing over such a hidden threat will attract Yu Rui who is worried about Kalubi's safety.
So, there is love in the first place, why bother to torture each other?
Thinking of this, Gu Shengyu's eyes became clearer, as if his emotions were getting more and more detached, and everything in the world could not leave the slightest trace in his eyes.
Yu Rui was in a state of disarray at this moment, it had been a long time since Kalubi's last visit, and she still didn't know how to face him.Now this newcomer may not be as easy to refuse as Kalubi, but she is confident and resourceful, so she is naturally not afraid of any challenge.
On the outside, the woman is calm and calm, and her calm tone cannot be seen from her true thoughts.
Gu Shengyu shattered her illusion with one word, without waiting for her to speak.
"You like Kalubi, but you want to reject him, why?"
"..."
Yu Rui tasted what it was like to be speechless for the first time.
Facts have proved that even one of the three wise men in the world is still tender and not much better than a cute foreign friend when encountering relationship problems.
After finally calming down, Yu Rui said in a cold tone, "I don't know what you mean, sir? If you send this thing to threaten, it is too much. If it is not an enemy, it is even more absurd to be a friend. Please speak up."
Gu Shengyu dusted off his clothes, "I do have something to say, but not right now. Can I borrow it for a few days? I want to give you an answer after reading it. Don't worry, I won't do anything in the process."
Yu Rui frowned at him, and found that his expression was impeccable, and occasionally there was an unfathomable feeling in his gaze.
In order to prevent things from being out of his control again, Yu Rui agreed.
In the next few days, Gu Shengyu's range of activities was under Rui's control, but he seemed to have no malicious intentions, simply walking around, purely looking at the scenery.
The only request I made was for a Sitong.
Yu Rui took out his collection and lent it to him, and this man Shi Shiran ran to sit under Jiansong on Lunjian Peak.Occasionally fiddled with a few low and distant syllables, sitting quietly in the light of the rising and setting sun behind him, with an excellent style.
I don't know how many disciples watched him curiously, but since he was invited by himself, they all didn't go close to him, and just stayed at a distance not too close to observe.
Yu Rui knows that this is the time to compare who is more calm, she asks herself that she is not bad at patience, so she just spends it day by day.
It wasn't until her seniors asked her about Gu Shengyu's identity that she suddenly realized that she didn't even know his name!
Embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face, her heart was in a tangle, she hadn't felt such humiliation for a long time.
Under the canopy of a lone pine, the man in dark clothes sat cross-legged, with a Guqin placed on his lap steadily.
The falling snow scattered in his hair, between his eyebrows, melted into his palms, his long eyelashes, his clothes...
When Yu Rui came, he saw countless balls of snowflakes flying and dancing, melting on the surface of the dark clothes, blurring a circle of slightly darker color.
Gu Shengyu's appearance is not so eye-catching in the snow, but his lingering loneliness has become the most conspicuous symbol.
Bai Xue's nostalgia between his brows is not as good as the sharpness of his eyes.The sound of the wind caressed his lips, but it couldn't shake off the loneliness and silence in his bones.
He is like a pool of water in a cold mountain and lonely valley. Ice melts in the water, wind stays on the surface of the water, snow disappears in the bottom of the water, and rain sinks in the water.
Nothing in the world can impress the ruthlessness deep in his eyes... Originally, Yu Rui had to make such a judgment, thinking that he was a ruthless person—but this person's expression changed.
Just looking up, looking at his facial features from a different angle, the drooping eyebrows and eyes turned into the most affectionate, focused and melancholy.It seems that the ice, snow, wind and rain that have merged into the deep pool are revealed, changing vividly, and also vividly lonely.
Out of thin air, Yu Rui burst out a wave of pity, pity for this person's loneliness, pity for his loneliness, and maybe pity for him as a person.
She didn't know what kind of past could create such a contradictory person, but she knew that it must be very important enough to change a person's life...
"gentlemen."
After staring at it for a while, the anger in my heart disappeared at some point. Yu Rui came to him calmly and called out quietly.
Gu Shengyu's little finger evokes the trembling strings of the zither, stopping its deep and vicissitudes of life.
"I guess it's almost time for you to come."
Yu Rui said lightly: "So that's how it is, Mr.'s intention to come is actually like this."
None of the words of the two of them matched each other.
So one looked up, the other lowered their eyes, and looked at each other calmly for a while, as if there was an atmosphere of mutual reluctance flowing between them.
After a while, Yu Rui said in a very charming manner: "I have to say, sir, you have attracted my attention."
Gu Shengyu didn't give up too much, she was romantic and unrestrained, free and easy.
"Gu Shengyu is not the birth jade that smokes from the warm jade in Lantian."
"..."
There was a moment of silence, and the two communicated again without talking.
Gu Shengyu took the initiative to speak this time, and said: "The snow is cold and the wind is piercing to the bones, so let's talk about it in another place if Taoist Priest Yu has anything to say."
Yu Rui nodded in agreement this time.
This time, I finally didn't get angry at brushing the deviation value.
"It's really strange to see plum trees here."
After a series of getting along with Gu Shengyu, Kalubi has gotten used to not opposing his actions.Because the facts always prove that the purpose behind this person's actions is definitely not as simple as he imagined.
After taking over the blooming Samuume, the bright red stamens are inside the pure white petals, and the beautiful life between the red and white is evil.
Twirling the flower stem with his fingertips, Kalubi, who has a whiter complexion than the petals, looked at it quietly and said, "Yu Rui once told me that there are many interesting things in Tang Dynasty, including all kinds of flowers."
Looking at the clear blue sky, Gu Shengyu said peacefully: "The Central Plains is vast and abundant, even people who have lived here for thousands of years may not be able to understand all of it. But fortunately, we are always willing to explore, just like your hand. this flower."
"I don't know who was the first to discover the plum blossom and give it a name. In short, after that day, people from every house can enjoy the beauty of this snowy night. They used different phrases and languages to praise it. I was still in a In the remote ancient peoples, they learned that the plum blossoms that bloom in winter are worshiped as gods. Just because few lives can survive in the lonely winter, they are deeply convinced of this harshness, so they worship the growing plum blossoms even more. Fragrant and eye-catching snow plum.”
Kalubi waited until he finished speaking, then raised his head quietly.
"You know what? Sometimes you feel like Yu Rui to me."
Gu Shengyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "My honor."
The two were quiet for a while, he looked in the direction of the sun, Gu Shengyu said: "It's getting late, let's go."
Kalubi nodded: "Okay."
Although the speed of the two black figures was limited by the rough and slippery snow road, the time it took for ordinary people to reach the restaurant on the mountainside was not too slow.
Open the windshield curtain made of thick fur, and you can see the raging fire burning in the stove as soon as you enter the door, which instantly awakens people's desire for warmth.
The smell of bad wine is everywhere in the room, and the fragrant and spicy roast leg of lamb is served table by table.
There are few windows to the outside of the house, and it is difficult for wind and snow to enter, so after Gu Shengyu and the others entered the house, they could feel the benefits of a well-built room.
After a while, the two of them were sweating, took off their expensive leather jackets and cloaks, and found an empty table to sit down.
Xiao Er, who was born in Huashan, a treasured place of outstanding people, is really extraordinary, and his eyesight is comparable to that of a famous restaurant in Chang'an, the capital of the country.In an instant, he recognized Kalubi's fur coat as a high-quality black bear fur, which was smooth and slippery, and could not be worn easily.
When he noticed Gu Shengyu's cloak again, the hard-to-buy black fox fur didn't have any mottled color, and he gasped when he saw it.
Before Gu Shengyu greeted him, he stepped forward courteously, and then was shocked by Gu Shengyu's extraordinary demeanor.
Xiao Er blinked her eyes, trying to blink away the thought of "how does this man look like this", thinking of his wife and children trying to warn himself not to be dazzled by this man.
"The guests came at just the right time. The Xuelihong in the cellar had just come out of the altar, and the large piece of meat in the kitchen was being stewed until crispy. Take a sip of this ice-cold meat and eat a piece of meat, ouch! The taste is so delicious that it surpasses gods. !"
He held the cloth towel on his shoulders and wiped it flatteringly, but the tabletop was still greasy after many years.
Needless to say, Xiao Er's words really whetted their appetites.Drinking and eating meat is the ultimate enjoyment for every man.
Kalubi placed the plum blossoms brought along the way on the table, being careful not to let the fragile petals fall.Hearing Xiao Er's words, he looked at Gu Shengyu, who had already waved at this time.
"Come to the altar of xuelihong, and then a pot of meat. You can look at the rest of the side dishes. I want to see green."
Xiaoer said loudly: "Okay! Just wait a moment!" After speaking, he hurried to the back kitchen, opened the curtain and could see the heat inside, and the sheep's head was placed not far from the door.
This style of raising the curtain made Kalubi turn his head silently, and asked out of some mentality: "It is said that all the black shops in the Central Plains use human flesh for cooking?"
Gu Shengyu said very calmly: "It is said that human flesh is sour, but in fact it makes no difference if it is mixed with pork. You should eat it or eat it. At most, you know it after the fact. The psychological shadow is a bit heavy."
Kalubi: "..."
Although the Bahan people live a hard life, living underground for a long time, and eating moss that grows in the shade, they have never eaten human flesh.
And why did Gu Shengyu's words sound so casual that he had never heard of them before?
Seeing the horror flashing in the red eyes of the foreign friend, Gu Shengyu said unhurriedly: "I'm just kidding, I really believe it."
Kalubi: "..." He just believed it!
Gu Shengyu said again: "Actually, black shops are easy to deal with. First of all, you have to have experience. Second, you have to be more fierce, so fierce that you can kill them all, and then they will be honest. Then there is too much power behind them. They Can't afford to offend."
When he said this, Xiao Er was just serving the food, and Kalubi just pulled out the chopsticks from the wooden tube on the table, and Gu Shengyu spoke at this delicate timing.
Gu Shengyu said: "Yes, inexperienced people will use the tableware set by the restaurant. This subconsciously means that the person who comes to eat is a fat sheep and can be slaughtered and eaten."
While talking, he looked at Kalubi and the younger brother who stopped when he heard his words.
"That's why it's easy to turn yourself into a 'dish' when you eat."
Kalubi: "..."
Second brother: "..."
Gu Shengyu looked at the tender, crispy, fat but not greasy chunks of stew in the pot, and immediately pulled out the chopsticks from the chopstick holder in a good mood.
"Hurry up, the food is served, when will the wine be served? Second brother."
In the blink of an eye, he nonchalantly greeted Kalubi to eat quickly, and asked the second brother where Xue Lihong, who hadn't come up, went.
But do you remember what you just said?
The little second brother shuddered all of a sudden, as if nothing happened, it doesn't mean that others can remain indifferent.
The frightened Xiaoer came back to his senses from the imaginary scene of human flesh buns, and said with a wry smile: "Customer, we are here for serious business. Speaking of which, Taoist Chunyang lives on top of him. Is there any black shop in the world?" Dare to drive here? Aren’t you afraid that when you wake up in the middle of the night, you will be cut off by the Taoist priests holding long swords?”
Gu Shengyu was amused when he heard the words, "You are also interesting, Xiao Er."
The second elder brother shook his head, "I think you are a well-informed guest, so it's not intentional. Even if I say a few words, don't take offense. Don't say that in other places, and you will easily be kicked out by the boss. "As he spoke, he glanced at the old man with a livid face at the counter not far away.
Kalubi also seemed to understand his feelings, and said in a low voice: "The eyes of the people at the other table are wrong."
As an assassin in the dark, Yedi has always been sensitive to attention such as sight.
As soon as he said it, Gu Shengyu also realized that when he just spoke, there were already people at the next table watching the stewed toad, unable to vomit.
Gu Shengyu smiled, "I'm sorry." It's true that he didn't think carefully, and then he took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and threw it into the second hand, "It's compensation, go down and get the wine quickly, otherwise there will be meat No alcohol is a real disappointment.”
At any rate, Xiao Er was considered someone who had seen the world, so he was not dazzled by this piece of gold.
Every year, many nobles who want to go up the mountain to see Taoist Chunyang rest in their own inn. Although gold is rare, it is not without it.
But the weight of this gold is not small. As soon as he made a move, the boss who stared coldly at this side suddenly smiled.
The second elder brother hurriedly nodded and went down, and brought the good Xuelihong.
"You can drink it leisurely. This wine is made of locally grown red plums and snow plums. It will only be out of the altar after two years of storage. It is smooth and elegant in the mouth, and the snowy plum fragrance is refreshing when you eat it. , it’s so easy to get up when you drink too much!”
"You little brother is really warm-hearted," Gu Shengyu was in a good mood, smelling the fragrance of the wine jar after it was opened.
As Xiaoer said, the clearness of the fragrance of snow and the elegance of the fragrance of plum are intertwined together, like a little bit of beauty born in the snow, which is beyond the mortal world of the world.
When the second brother heard him praise him, he immediately laughed.
"You are a big customer, we have to take care of it, right?"
"Haha," Gu Shengyu smiled, and threw him a silver leaf, and he immediately went down gratefully.
After this back and forth, Kalubi's eyes were slightly puzzled and stunned.
Gu Shengyu didn't explain to him, and poured wine into the big bowl in front of him.
"Try it. After listening to him boasting so much, you still have to drink it yourself to know the taste."
As he spoke, he poured himself a bowl and took a sip.
Snow should not have a taste, and plums are also bitter. However, after the combination of the two, the snow is cold, and the astringency of plums around the tip of the tongue highlights the clearness of the wine. After careful tasting, there is still a slight sweetness of wine. The depths seep out.
There are so many changes in a sip of wine. Just from this point of view, this wine is already at the top level.
Satisfied, Gu Shengyu drank a few more sips, looked at Kalubi who was eating silently, and shook his head.
"You are really quite silent."
Kalubi saw his handsome face with smiling lips and unrestrained brows.
"Aren't you worried?"
Gu Shengyu said: "Of course I have."
Kalubi shook his head: "I can't see it." At least in the past half a month of being together, this person has always solved troubles with a smile. .
Gu Shengyu just smiled when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "What's wrong with me telling you a story?"
Kalubi was noncommittal.
Gu Shengyu's eyes fell on the wine, with nostalgia in his eyes.
"In fact, there is a kind of plum blossom that tastes better when mixed with wine."
When the fingers picked up the wine bowl, the unintentionally protruding bone edges and corners gave off a pale and elegant sense of thinness.His slow voice has a strange appeal when telling stories.Even the other noisy guests couldn't help listening to the conversation and listening with compassion.
In the midst of everyone's attention, Gu Shengyu slowly talked about a strange plum blossom.
This peanut is not in the middle of winter, but it always blooms in all seasons.The color of this flower is neither white nor red, but the color of black jade.This flower only blooms in one place, and that place is forbidden to strangers and difficult for outsiders to enter...
"This flower is called Moyu Plum Blossom."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the people who seemed to have been brought into another world by him, looked at the dazed expressions on their faces, and spoke with a bit of evil taste.
"The flowers are so delicate that ordinary fertilizers are difficult to raise. You have to use corpses to moisten the fertile soil to bloom dark plums. After the plum blossoms, the fragrance is sweet and attractive, and the whole body is black and green. It looks like a black jade crystal. The viewer is strange, and the breeder bother."
Kalubi: "...you deliberately..."
He was originally imagining what kind of style plum blossoms like crystal black jade would be, but he didn't expect Gu Shengyu to turn the harmless little flower into a man-eating shark.
The comparison between the front and back should not be too strong, okay?
Gu Shengyu spoke slowly when he saw that the people at the next table were intent on beating someone.
"In fact, you should have thought about it a long time ago. What rare things in the world do not deviate from common sense? There is a vast rainforest far away overseas. The plants growing there are dense and full of vitality. Among them, countless people participated in the fight in the biological layer as hunters."
"There are grasses that are shaped like a bucket and contain digestive juices to attract wild animals and insects to fall into them. There are also mouthparts that are as big as pot teeth. Every flower needs to swallow ten lives. Ten and one, that is, ten flowers can A piranha bearing a fruit..."
"For these plants that have been reduced to the bottom of the living world, how do we know that we are not fertilizer after death in their world, but something they use to eat."
The chopsticks moved the vegetables on the plate. In this winter snowy place, vegetables are much more expensive than meat, especially those vegetables with green leaves.
Gu Shengyu ate the green vegetables picked up by a pair of chopsticks, and continued calmly: "It's just a corpse to fatten up, don't make too much fuss."
Kalubi was speechless.
After the two finished eating and drinking, the entire lobby was extremely quiet. It wasn't until the two of them went upstairs that the atmosphere downstairs began to return to its usual lively atmosphere.
When the voice outside the house became louder, Gu Shengyu smiled slightly, stretched his waist, and planned to take off his clothes to rest, but paused when he unbuttoned his belt.
He glanced meaningfully at the wall connected to the next door, then washed and rested without any reaction.
In Kalubi's room next door, a note was being placed on the table.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw this thing and walked over to pick it up.
A line of exotic characters was written on the snow-white paper, shaped like a tadpole with rounded edges and corners.
After reading the above content, Kalubi burned it with a candle.
The ashes fell to the ground, and Kalubi's handsome brows cast a shadow and a murderous intent.His fair skin was as pale as his bones, and a dark monster seemed to be crawling out of his shadow.
The gray linen scarf around his neck stretches all the way down to his legs. It looks like a wide and thick cloak, but it is the mark of Ye Di, the killer of the dark world.
His waist-length gray hair fell back, and his stern face was expressionless.
Kalubi was summoned by Mingjiao, and he was going to kill someone.
Early the next morning, Gu Shengyu was awakened by the doorbell, got up and opened the door to fetch hot water and went back to the house.He opened the window next to the bed sleepily, and the cold air outside the window woke him up immediately.
After rubbing his hands and washing up, he put on his coat and went to the next door. Unsurprisingly, he didn't see anyone, but it was a surprise that a note was placed on the table.
After breakfast and tidying up, not long after Gu Shengyu left the inn, he was already walking on the stairs where he could see Chunyang Temple from a distance, recalling the message left by Kalubi in his mind.
To put it bluntly, the Chinese characters on the note have no style, the only thing that can be called neat. It seems that for this foreigner, he doesn't have much time to practice his brushwork.
But the general idea was conveyed, if there is something to do, go first, and then added a sentence of sorry at the end that revealed his embarrassment.
Gu Shengyu laughed after thinking about it, and bowed his head in Fenghua.It happened to be seen by the disciples guarding in front of the mountain gate, and the two Taoist priests of Chunyang almost lost their minds because of this.
After stepping up the last step and stopping in front of the huge Taoist hall, Gu Shengyu raised his head.
On the plaque in front of him is the word "Chunyangguan", the pure and upright Taoism is written between the lines of the pen and ink, and the handwriting is scattered, like an antelope hanging horns without a trace.
He stepped back a little, trying to see as clearly as possible what the Taoist temple that built the entire Qingxiu house in the mountain looked like.
The temple is built according to the mountain, the wall is chiseled to form an image, the surrounding environment is quiet, the ancient trees are caged, and the strange rocks sound...
After seeing it, Gu Shengyu asked himself well-informed, and couldn't help but marvel at the whimsy of the overall structure of this place.
With snow falling all the year round, Chunyang is a little more deserted and detached than other famous mountains.Looking down from a high place, the purple air is coming from the east, the sun is shining, and the whole mountain is as white as ice.There are also ancient pine branches protruding from the gorges, billowing clouds, looming pavilions and attics, and red-crowned cranes gradually disappearing from the mountain line.
Gu Shengyu came back to his senses, took out something and handed it to the disciple who guarded the gate, bluntly said to give it to Taoist Yu Rui.
"My name is very important. If you want to know who I am, then please ask Master Yu Rui to come here in person."
After leaving this unkind sentence, the two Chunyang disciples dare not say more because their demeanor is different from that of ordinary people.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
Already shocked, the two disciples looked at each other, and one of them went back to report.
Gu Shengyu stayed outside to admire the rumored Xueluo Chunyang.
After a short while, the trail leader's footsteps were not slow, and Yu Rui's slender figure had already approached from a distance.
When she arrived, she just heard Gu Shengyu chanting.
"Kunlun Profound Realm Mountains and mountains outside, there are caves in the universe, yin and yang. Just ask the real king where there is, and don't look for the sword fairy in the rivers and lakes."
"What a Xunjianxian!" Yu Rui felt that this person was very human when he saw it, and the short seven-character poem fully expressed the true meaning of Chunyang.
Gu Shengyu had already noticed when she was approaching, but he still spoke out the poems that vaguely appeared in his mind.
That was a memory many years ago, and he only remembers these sporadic fragments now.
He laughed at himself in his heart, but the mellow and smooth state of mind quickly brushed away the ripples, and he said calmly: "No, there is a sword fairy in Chunyang Palace. It is a secular word of mouth. I can only see the magnificent scene here, and piece it together , I mentioned it a little bit, which made Daoist Yu laugh."
After hearing this, Yu Rui felt that this person was extraordinary. At first, she thought he was such an arrogant person when she heard rumors from her disciples.
"Why should you be modest, Mr. When it comes to writing, Mr.'s 'patchwork' is enough to make most self-proclaimed talents ashamed." Speaking of this, the beautiful woman flicked her sleeves, "Mr. came from a long way, please enter Chunyang first. It’s not too late to talk when the time comes.”
Gu Shengyu did not resist Yu Rui's arrangement, and bowed his hands in salute: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
"Please sir."
Along the way, Gu Shengyu saw all the wind and clouds in the sky, a magnificent spectacle, the eaves and bucket arches in the middle are connected by lying snow, covered by clouds and fog all the year round, very spiritual, the front and rear Tai Chi squares, and the Wuji Dojo are quiet and quiet, it is a holy place for practicing Taoism and martial arts .
After seeing it, Gu Shengyu couldn't help but praise the view of Chunyang, it's so beautiful.
Yu Rui didn't like it, but asked Gu Shengyu with a smile if he wanted to visit Lunjian Peak and Sanqing Palace again.
The Sanqing Hall is the first hall in Chunyang, and Qi Jin takes care of it on weekdays.Every year, the emperor would go up to the mountain to worship, so the decoration is magnificent and majestic.Although it is a palace, it does not have the grandeur and wealth, but is solemn and solemn, showing the style of Taoism.
And Lunjian Peak is even more legendary. It is said that Lu Dongbin, the founder of Chunyang Taoism, competed with the world's masters of martial arts here, and his epiphany soared.
This peak is located at the top of the northern part of Chunyang, with flying snow dancing all the year round, it looks like a fairyland, and Lu Zu left a book on the rocky wall under the sword pine.
Years pass by, waiting for the younger generations who are destined to understand the mystery.
Yu Rui can be said to be very good at talking, with witty remarks and ingenious thoughts in the process of walking.If it weren't for Gu Shengyu's own knowledge that can't be limited to this world, maybe she would be speechless at what she said, nodding repeatedly and becoming a respondent.
Because of this, Gu Shengyu is more aware that Yu Rui is extraordinarily vigilant towards him.
Yu Rui took out a white handkerchief until the two of them reached a place where there was no one around, and if someone came, they would not be able to hide it from them.
This object is exactly the token that Gu Shengyu invited Yu Rui to come to see in person.
The white silk was opened by Qian's fingers a few times, and a hollow pattern with sharp edges and symmetrical shapes was painted on the inside.
After Yu Rui opened it, he said with an unclear expression: "You...why come?"
Gu Shengyu rolled his eyelids and said calmly, "It seems that you still remember him."
he.
It was Kalubi.
What is painted on the square handkerchief is exactly the pattern drawn on Kalubi's forehead.
Since Yu Rui knew Kalubi, it was impossible to admit his mistake.
Gu Shengyu had a plan when he came here. If he said that he was Kalubi's friend, Yu Rui, who was depressed, would definitely evade it.But handing over such a hidden threat will attract Yu Rui who is worried about Kalubi's safety.
So, there is love in the first place, why bother to torture each other?
Thinking of this, Gu Shengyu's eyes became clearer, as if his emotions were getting more and more detached, and everything in the world could not leave the slightest trace in his eyes.
Yu Rui was in a state of disarray at this moment, it had been a long time since Kalubi's last visit, and she still didn't know how to face him.Now this newcomer may not be as easy to refuse as Kalubi, but she is confident and resourceful, so she is naturally not afraid of any challenge.
On the outside, the woman is calm and calm, and her calm tone cannot be seen from her true thoughts.
Gu Shengyu shattered her illusion with one word, without waiting for her to speak.
"You like Kalubi, but you want to reject him, why?"
"..."
Yu Rui tasted what it was like to be speechless for the first time.
Facts have proved that even one of the three wise men in the world is still tender and not much better than a cute foreign friend when encountering relationship problems.
After finally calming down, Yu Rui said in a cold tone, "I don't know what you mean, sir? If you send this thing to threaten, it is too much. If it is not an enemy, it is even more absurd to be a friend. Please speak up."
Gu Shengyu dusted off his clothes, "I do have something to say, but not right now. Can I borrow it for a few days? I want to give you an answer after reading it. Don't worry, I won't do anything in the process."
Yu Rui frowned at him, and found that his expression was impeccable, and occasionally there was an unfathomable feeling in his gaze.
In order to prevent things from being out of his control again, Yu Rui agreed.
In the next few days, Gu Shengyu's range of activities was under Rui's control, but he seemed to have no malicious intentions, simply walking around, purely looking at the scenery.
The only request I made was for a Sitong.
Yu Rui took out his collection and lent it to him, and this man Shi Shiran ran to sit under Jiansong on Lunjian Peak.Occasionally fiddled with a few low and distant syllables, sitting quietly in the light of the rising and setting sun behind him, with an excellent style.
I don't know how many disciples watched him curiously, but since he was invited by himself, they all didn't go close to him, and just stayed at a distance not too close to observe.
Yu Rui knows that this is the time to compare who is more calm, she asks herself that she is not bad at patience, so she just spends it day by day.
It wasn't until her seniors asked her about Gu Shengyu's identity that she suddenly realized that she didn't even know his name!
Embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face, her heart was in a tangle, she hadn't felt such humiliation for a long time.
Under the canopy of a lone pine, the man in dark clothes sat cross-legged, with a Guqin placed on his lap steadily.
The falling snow scattered in his hair, between his eyebrows, melted into his palms, his long eyelashes, his clothes...
When Yu Rui came, he saw countless balls of snowflakes flying and dancing, melting on the surface of the dark clothes, blurring a circle of slightly darker color.
Gu Shengyu's appearance is not so eye-catching in the snow, but his lingering loneliness has become the most conspicuous symbol.
Bai Xue's nostalgia between his brows is not as good as the sharpness of his eyes.The sound of the wind caressed his lips, but it couldn't shake off the loneliness and silence in his bones.
He is like a pool of water in a cold mountain and lonely valley. Ice melts in the water, wind stays on the surface of the water, snow disappears in the bottom of the water, and rain sinks in the water.
Nothing in the world can impress the ruthlessness deep in his eyes... Originally, Yu Rui had to make such a judgment, thinking that he was a ruthless person—but this person's expression changed.
Just looking up, looking at his facial features from a different angle, the drooping eyebrows and eyes turned into the most affectionate, focused and melancholy.It seems that the ice, snow, wind and rain that have merged into the deep pool are revealed, changing vividly, and also vividly lonely.
Out of thin air, Yu Rui burst out a wave of pity, pity for this person's loneliness, pity for his loneliness, and maybe pity for him as a person.
She didn't know what kind of past could create such a contradictory person, but she knew that it must be very important enough to change a person's life...
"gentlemen."
After staring at it for a while, the anger in my heart disappeared at some point. Yu Rui came to him calmly and called out quietly.
Gu Shengyu's little finger evokes the trembling strings of the zither, stopping its deep and vicissitudes of life.
"I guess it's almost time for you to come."
Yu Rui said lightly: "So that's how it is, Mr.'s intention to come is actually like this."
None of the words of the two of them matched each other.
So one looked up, the other lowered their eyes, and looked at each other calmly for a while, as if there was an atmosphere of mutual reluctance flowing between them.
After a while, Yu Rui said in a very charming manner: "I have to say, sir, you have attracted my attention."
Gu Shengyu didn't give up too much, she was romantic and unrestrained, free and easy.
"Gu Shengyu is not the birth jade that smokes from the warm jade in Lantian."
"..."
There was a moment of silence, and the two communicated again without talking.
Gu Shengyu took the initiative to speak this time, and said: "The snow is cold and the wind is piercing to the bones, so let's talk about it in another place if Taoist Priest Yu has anything to say."
Yu Rui nodded in agreement this time.
This time, I finally didn't get angry at brushing the deviation value.
