Lu Hua Zhi You Feng Lin Lou

The Fragrant River is forty miles north of Kyoto. The whole area is in the shape of a maple leaf, surrounded by the North Canal, the Qinglongwan River, the Chaobai River, and the Yinyu Chao River. There are also many branches such as the Longfeng River in it. party of people.

The Xianghe River under the starry night is falling into a deep dreamland, only the sparkling streams of water are shining with uneasy hearts.

The earth temple in the north of the city is not too big or small, and it is considered to be full of incense under the worship of the people of Xianghe who pay attention to festivals. Although a murder case has just happened, there are still dim candles faintly leaking out at this moment, printed on the window The sky was blown wildly by the whirring north wind.

"Tsk tsk, the river bends straight and the road rushes past. It's really unlucky for this small temple to be built!"

Lu Xiaofeng, who visited late at night, looked at the small temple from a distance, shook his head and sighed—although this place is a temple, it is full of evil spirits, and now he really believes that it is not surprising that Xiao Liu will die here.

But the evil is evil, he, Master Lu, thinks that his martial arts is not the best in the world, but his luck is very good, so he walked in slowly as soon as he lifted his foot.

Aside from the pitch-black courtyard that was smothered by the fire, the inside of the temple was fairly clean. There were two clay statues in the middle, one big and one small, a man and a woman, two old men and women sitting steadily.

"Don't think my temple is small, so don't come and try to burn incense; don't rely on your power and power, if you want to do evil, look at it."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the couplets hanging on both sides, and couldn't help but read aloud - this couplet is easy to understand, and the metaphor is good, but it's really weird, especially the "evil" character in the second couplet, which is round and round Hanging there, it was one size bigger than the others. Looking at it in the dim candlelight, it was really a bit scary!

"Hiss..." Lu Xiaofeng shook his shoulders, "It's a pity that such a wonderful person like a flower died in such a place, it's really pitiful!"

Taking the incense candles on the incense table, he borrowed a fire from the burning one nearby and lit it, and lit three incense sticks in the incense burner.

"Miss Xiaoliu, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. After all, I was the one who led you to this wrong place, so let me avenge your grievances. On the way to Huangquan, go well."

Suddenly a wind blew up outside the door, and the candles that had just been lit kept shaking.

There was a creak, the door was pushed open by the wind or something.Lu Xiaofeng didn't look back, just reached out to hold the candle.

"Everyone knows that Lu Xiaofeng has a chivalrous heart, he likes to fight against injustice, and the world will definitely not deceive me."

A gentle and elegant voice resounded, like a light moonlight flowing in, instantly dispelling the oppressive and treacherous atmosphere in the temple, bringing a sense of joy and comfort, and even the two cold and lifeless sculptures became kind.

Lu Xiaofeng turned around in surprise: "The building is full of flowers?!"

Huamanlou, the seventh young master of the Jiangnan Hua family, Huamanlou, dressed in brocade clothes and jade robes, a jade fracture fan, and a smiling jade face, came in under the starry night-what a modest and humble son Ruyu!

"What? You, Lu Xiaofeng, can come here, but I can't?"

When Huamanlou came in, it was only when Lu Xiaofeng saw that he was still holding a lantern in his left hand, under a hazy layer of light gauze, a flower character fell on it like a startling bird.

Lu Xiaofeng said dumbly: "Of course you are here."

Although Huamanlou couldn't see, but his thoughts were very careful and his ears were very sharp. He heard Lu Xiaofeng's uncomfortable tone, raised his hand and shook the lamp in his hand, and took the initiative to explain for him:

"I carry a lamp, not to light the way, but to light me."

Lu Xiaofeng chuckled: "Hua Man Lou, Hua Man Lou, let me tell you what's good about you, you can do such wonderful things!"

"The road at night is long, and there are countless people with a clear mind like Brother Lu. Naturally, I must think of ways to prevent them from bumping into me."

Hua Manlou accepted his teasing calmly, put the lantern on the incense table, touched it to the side, picked up three incense sticks, lit them and put them in place.

Lu Xiaofeng stood aside with folded arms, watched his smooth movements, shook his head and sighed secretly - although Hua Manlou was blind, his mind was clearer than all non-blind people.

"Hey, you can tell now, why did you come here?"

Huamanlou did not leave after offering the incense, but still stood in front of the incense table, slightly raised his head to look at the two clay sculptures, revealing a white jade-like neck that was not covered by the collar.

"Then why did Brother Lu come here?" He asked without answering.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and walked around in circles: "I was designed by others, so I had to make this trip."

"Is there anyone else who can design Brother Lu?" Hua Manlou turned to look at him, "Then I really want to get to know him."

"Ah, Hua Man Lou, I found that you seem to like to see my jokes!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled helplessly, stroking his mustache.

"Brother Lu is very smart, it's more interesting to read jokes made by smart people." Hua Manlou didn't deny it at all, but left Lu Xiaofeng with nothing to say - if you object, it means that you are not smart, so don't object, I have no choice but to be seen as a joke willingly. It's really hard to get along!

"I think Hua Qishao, you are the most intelligent person in the world."

The building is full of flowers but smiles silently.

After the two of them had fun, they finally started talking about business.

Naturally, Lu Xiaofeng appeared here in the middle of the night because he was forced by the fat and thin policeman at every step. It was really not a good job, but the reason why Hua Manlou appeared here was very elegant.

"Admiring the flowers?!"

Master Lu was surprised and shouted out of control.

"Yes, I received news that Xianghe will have an orchid party soon." Hua Manlou took out a letter from his sleeve.

"I said I've smelled some fragrance since just now, and I dare say it's the smell on this letter paper."

Lu Xiaofeng took the envelope, and pulled out a piece of letter paper with a faint orchid fragrance—no, the letter paper is too small, poetry paper is more appropriate, not to mention four lines of small letters are sitting on it.

——The Huanhua River is like a flower guest, and the green pavilion is deeply hidden by people.

Stay so that the head of the stream is blown, and it is splashed into the color of orangutans on the paper.

"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaofeng pinched the poem note with two fingers, read it over and over twice, but didn't see anything unusual.

"This poem is "Song of Begging Caijian" written by Wei Zhuang of the Tang Dynasty." Hua Manlou shook the fan he wrote together slightly, "it tells the story of Xue Taojian."

"so what?"

"Xue Tao likes red, but among the ten notes he made, there is no blue and white."

Lu Xiaofeng looked down and saw that the candle was too dim just now, so he didn't pay attention to it. Hearing what Hua Manlou said, he realized that this piece of poetry paper was not like ordinary white paper, but actually had a faint blue color, so he twisted it with his fingers. Even the touch is unusually smooth and sticky.

"This paper..." Lu Xiaofeng frowned.

"What?" Hua Manlou asked.

"It's nothing." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, probably because he was thinking too much, "You think this poem doesn't match the poem notes, so you came here to have a look. But how do you know it's Lanhui in Xianghe?"

"I came to Kyoto a month ago." Hua Manlou took out another piece of letterhead and handed it over.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him to take it, then extended his other hand.

"What?" Although Hua Manlou couldn't see his movements, but felt the sudden pause, he turned his head and asked.

"Take out all the other words, such a piece of paper is really tantalizing."

"Hehe." Hua Manlou smiled and spread his hands, "It's gone."

"Really gone?"

"Your beard is more real than Brother Lu."

......

——Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, come at midnight, go at dawn.How long does it come like a spring dream, and go like a cloud without a place to look for.

"Flowers Are Not Flowers by Layman Xiangshan?" Lu Xiaofeng still recognized this song.

"That's right." Hua Manlou nodded, "A month ago, I received this letter in Shihua Xiaozhu in the south of the Yangtze River. After listening to Huaping read it to me, I didn't think it was strange at first. Long time no see friends."

"Then, what does this have to do with your coming to the capital?" Lu Xiaofeng turned over the paper, but there was still no special trace, and he twisted it with his fingers again.

"Brother Lu, are you in a hurry?"

Hua Manlou didn't answer him directly, but stopped and tilted his head to ask.

"Sorry." Lu Xiaofeng also realized that he had acted too hastily just now, interrupted him impolitely, apologized quickly, and moved his eyes to the crack of the half-open door, "I just had a bad feeling."

Huamanlou put away her fan and sat down facing the door, still smiling gently and handsomely:

"It's okay, it's worth it to receive an apology from Lu Xiaofeng."

"You!" Lu Xiaofeng was amused by him, and pointed at him, his slender and moist fingers swayed in the air a few times, as if playing beautiful notes.

But obviously this note is not the elegance of the small bridge and flowing water, but the harshness of the wind knife and frost sword.

"It's windy outside, how about a friend come in and sit?"

Lu Xiaofeng spoke.

With a bang, the not-so-strong door of the Earth Temple flew straight up, hit the dark wall diagonally opposite, and fell to pieces.

"Tsk tsk, that's really impolite!"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, sighed helplessly, and then looked at Hua Manlou: "It seems that I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Brother Lu, you should be very used to not sleeping at night." Hua Manlou had already stood up, and at some point the fan slipped from his sleeve to his hand again.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head—but it must not be what he thought.

"Brother Lu, don't you know?" Hua Manlou laughed.

Lu Xiaofeng is well-known as Lu Daxia, and everyone knows about it. The experience of Drunken Sleeping Beauty Township should be five hundred if not one thousand. It must be a famous night owl at night.

The two of them are not allowed to talk anymore, because the yard is already full of people—a group of people who can't be called friends anyway.

"I take back that sentence friend, let go of the fight."

Lu Xiaofeng flicked his wrist - Master Lu doesn't really like fights or anything like that!

"They are not friends, naturally there are other friends."

The fan of Huamanlou is open, and a picture of red plum blossoms in full bloom is particularly conspicuous in this cold night.

"You hired someone?" Lu Xiaofeng was curious.

"I didn't invite you, you came with me." Hua Manlou nodded his chin a little far away.

"Haha, it's really not easy to follow Young Master Hua!" A rough male voice came from far and near.

"I told you not to let you come, you must have been reckless and exposed your whereabouts!" A soft female voice followed.

"Okay, okay, haven't you seen anyone looking for trouble? First clear the place before we can talk!"

A voice that is gloomy and old, but not lacking in strength and heartiness.

"Chaichaichai's family?" Lu Xiaofeng saw who was coming, and looked at Huamanlou in confusion—how could they follow you?

Chai Chai's family is well-known in the rivers and lakes. The father is Lao Chai, the son is Xiao Chai, and the daughter-in-law is Chai Niangzi. No one knows the origins of their family, but everyone they meet knows. The three of them are like ordinary people. Similarly, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the daughter-in-law is docile. No one can tell that they are from the Jianghu.

Lu Xiaofeng's ability to recognize them was only based on intuition and guesswork.

"Brother Lu really has friends all over the world." Hua Manlou didn't know whether it was praise or sarcasm, and said with a smile, "The three of them followed me all the way, and I don't know their identities."

Lao Chai landed on a crooked tree in the yard with a hoe on his shoulders. Hearing this, he chuckled, "Master Hua is too modest, but he doesn't know the identities of the three of us. Master Hua is also one of the best people in the world." !"

Xiao Chai's name is Xiao Chai, but just as his wife said, he is a man of five years and three years old, standing under a tree like a sturdy farmer-and beside him is a dignified woman who is standing with her head down and leaning docilely on him , it is Chai Niangzi in the family.

"Father, I'll get rid of these people first, and then we'll talk to Young Master Hua."

Xiao Chai took out a rolling pin from the black cloth belt, and Lu Xiaofeng even felt that the thick and long stick still carried the powder they rolled noodles at noon.

The killers in the yard obviously didn't expect to kill three Chai Yaojin halfway. After looking at each other in dismay, the leaders drew out their weapons neatly, and rushed towards the crooked-neck tree like a group of black ants—— If these three people are not dealt with first, it is obvious that the task cannot be completed.

"What do you think?"

Taking advantage of the time when Chai Chai Chai's family was fighting the man in black, Lu Xiaofeng leaned close to Hua Manlou, stroking his mustache with one hand, and asked him in a low voice.

"Don't you have an idea?" Hua Manlou smiled.

"How do you know that I have an idea?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't believe that there was such an evil thing in the world—is it true that Huamanlou can't see anything?

"When you have a plan in mind, you will touch your beard, and I can hear the sound when you cover your mouth with your hand." Hua Manlou explained to him very seriously, without any perfunctory meaning at all.

......

"When I'm with you in the future, I must be careful and careful." Lu Xiaofeng wailed—the difference could be heard, if one day I lied to him, I might die a miserable death.

"Don't worry, I won't let others know that I can hear what others don't want me to hear." Hua Manlou closed the folding fan with a bang, the light of Hongmei disappeared, and it was long night again.

......Lu Xiaofeng kept quiet—was his joke just now going too far?

"Let's go, if you go to the city now, you should be in time for breakfast."

Hua Manlou did not show any anger, but still had a gentle expression and a gentle voice. At some point, he returned to the lantern in his hand, emitting a faint halo of light under his feet, and the sound of fighting in the yard was endless. After wearing it, not even a trace of dirt stained the upper skirt.

Lu Xiaofeng gritted her teeth, stuck out her tongue, and followed.

Chai Chaichai's family was still fighting hard, and when they saw the two fleeing in the gap, they complained in their hearts-they were really treated as thugs!

In fact, it is this group of middle-of-the-night killers who should be complaining. They haven't even touched the clothes of the people they want to deal with. They are really useless!

However, the two parties left without hesitation, and even disappeared for a moment.
