The Whole World Is My Crematorium

A few days later, Li Yanzhi went up the mountain again and brought two things to Xiao Yu'an.One of them was Feng Dahong's wedding invitation. On the envelope was a painting of a guqin, which was the symbol of Xuan Yuezong.Opening the wedding invitation, it reads: Marriage of two surnames, a contract signed together, a good relationship will last forever, matching the same name.

Xiao Yu's case skipped over a bunch of literary nonsense, and saw the words "Shen Fugui" and "Cai Shi", followed by the date of their marriage.

"The fifth day of the first lunar month," Xiao Yu'an said with a smile, "it's a good day." He handed the invitation to Gu Louyin, and the last thing Gu Louyin saw was the last sentence: Gu Louyin and his wife are welcome here.

Li Yanzhi said: "It is indeed a good day, but there is still more than a month from now, which is too long."

Xiao Yuan asked: "When most people get married, how long in advance do they send out wedding invitations?"

Li Yanzhi scratched his head, "I don't know, I've never been married before."

Gu Louyin said: "It's half a year at most, and three months at least."

Xiao Yu'an glanced at Gu Louyin, raised his lips and said with a smile, "You know a lot."

Gu Louyin said calmly: "Common sense."

"According to this, Xuan Lezong's wedding invitation was posted in a hurry, I hope it will not arouse the suspicion of others." Xiao Yu'an said, "Where is the other thing I asked you to bring?"

"I'm taking it with me." Li Yanzhi found a good scroll from the package, "Does the young master want this?"

Xiao Yu'an opened the scroll, and vaguely caught a trace of evil spirit that seemed to be there.The landscape in the painting is very unfamiliar to him, but he can tell that this painting is indeed made by Li Xianting.

Xiao Yu'an asked, "Have you checked with my junior brother?"

"I've confirmed it. Brother Mu was talking about this painting before."

Since Mu Yingyang discovered the strangeness of this painting, he has been looking for an opportunity to go to Lizhou to find out, but all kinds of accidents happened one after another, he had no time to spare, and his trip to Lizhou was delayed again and again.

"There is still more than a month before Shen Fugui and Miss Cai's wedding, so it should be enough to go to Lizhou. I wonder if Mr. Gu would like to go with me?" Before Gu Louyin could answer, Xiao Yu'an thought of something and tapped it with his jade fan. My own head, "I almost forgot, it will be the night of the full moon when the acacia gu attack occurs soon, let's wait until the fifteenth day has passed before leaving."

"It's okay." Gu Louyin said, "It's not too late, let's go and come back quickly."

The two went down the mountain that day.Xiao Yu'an carried the green flame in his sleeve, and Gu Louyin flew westward with his sword, and arrived in Lizhou in the northwest within half a day.

Xiao Yu'an changed into an unobtrusive appearance, and Gu Louyin also put on a black cloak and a hood.

Before entering the city, Xiao Yu'an hid Gu Louyin's silver hair in the hood for Gu Louyin, and at the end he didn't forget to grab Gu Louyin by the neckline, pulled him down to steal some incense, and wanted to leave.

Gu Louyin took him back into his arms, "It's over?"

Xiao Yu'an tried to reason with him: "I just want a casual kiss without sticking out my tongue. Gu Louyin, you can't force an ordinary kiss every time to advance, it's outrageous, you know? .”

"Well," Gu Louyin looked down at him, "open your mouth."

"..."

Lizhou is a big city, but also a small city.It is said to be big because Lizhou has a vast territory, several times larger than the rich and prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River.It is said to be small because the city is sparsely populated, the streets are deserted, and there is not even a shouting vendor.Occasionally, I saw a few pedestrians, all wearing hoods and cloaks like Gu Louyin, covering their bodies tightly.

Gu Louyin said: "The wind and sand in the northwest are all over the sky, and the locals cover their faces with gauze all the year round to prevent the wind and sand from getting into their noses."

Xiao Yu'an said, "I know this too, it's common sense."

"The place in the painting is not like Lizhou."

Xiao Yu'an looked around, seeing the desolation and desolation.However, Li Xianting's paintings have beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery is winding, which is more like a place in the south of the Yangtze River.

"But what Mu Yingyang found was Lizhou."

Gu Louyin's tone was light: "He may have made a mistake."

"No way." Although Mu Yingyang was sometimes unreliable, as long as it was something he entrusted to him, he was never ambiguous. "We're looking for someone to inquire about."

The two found a relatively lively inn in the south of the city.Because of the large number of people, a group of disheveled and disheveled beggars gathered at the entrance of the inn.As soon as a guest came, the beggars rushed forward to beg for money.

When Xiao Yu'an and Gu Louyin arrived, the waiter of the inn was chasing beggars away with a broom. "Come again next time, I just poured it with boiling water, don't blame me for not reminding you—"

A beggar in the shape of a young man smiled and said, "That's a good thing, it just so happens that I haven't bathed for many years."

The waiter continued to scold, but when he caught sight of Xiao Yu'an and Gu Louyin from the corner of his eye, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile on his face, "You two guest officers, should you stay at the hotel?"

"Stay in the shop, and ask for a place by the way." Xiao Yu'an took out the painting, "Do you know where this is?"

The waiter frowned, "Dare to ask the guest officer, is this a place in Lizhou?"

"should be."

"To tell you the truth, I have been staying in Lizhou since I was born. I know how many trees there are in Lizhou. But I have never seen this place. Look at this place with mountains and water. There is no place like this in the state."

Xiao Yu'an put away the painting, and muttered: "I knew I should take my junior brother..." Facing Gu Louyin's gaze, he quickly changed his words: "I should ask my junior brother for clarification before coming back."

"I've seen it before."

Xiao Yuan followed the prestige, and it was the little beggar who was about to take a bath just now who was talking.

The waiter squinted at him: "Guest officer, don't be fooled by him, he is just a little liar."

"I've really seen it before." The little beggar snorted, "If you don't believe me, you'll be knocked down."

Xiao Yu'an stretched out his hand, and Gu Louyin put down a few grains of silver in his palm.Xiao Yu said: "Go on."

The little beggar subconsciously took the broken silver thrown by Xiao Yu's case, his eyes were wide open.

"Tell me, where have you seen it before?"

The little beggar paused for a while, then said: "That happened when I was a child. My parents are still alive, and I followed them on a long trip to run a business. Then I got lost in the desert, and I ran out of water and food. When we were dying of thirst, we saw mountains, we saw water—just like in your paintings."

Xiao Yu'an raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you remember correctly?"

"I remember very clearly," the little beggar said firmly, "it must be true. I still remember that after I drank the water, I had a dream. I dreamed that two good-looking immortals invited me to dinner, and one of them would smile when they laughed. The other one has white hair, like..." The little beggar racked his brains to describe it, "like the moon in the sky."

The waiter sneered, "Why don't you continue to dream."

Xiao Yu'an and Gu Louyin looked at each other.Xiao Yuan asked, "Where is the desert you mentioned?"

Thirty miles outside the city of Lizhou is the endless Gobi desert.Xiao Yu'an stood on the sword and looked down, it was the color of monotonous yellow sand, every place looked very similar, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary monks would get lost in it.

Xiao Yu'an squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "I don't seem to see anything unusual. Shall we go down and have a look?"

Gu Louyin said: "Okay."

After landing, Xiao Yu'an stepped on the fine sand, always feeling like he was going to sink into it at any time.

No direction, no idea where to start.Xiao Yu'an found a hollow in the huge rock that could provide shade from the sun and rain, and the two settled down there for the time being.

"The fairy that the beggar mentioned is us?"

Gu Louyin said: "Maybe."

It is impossible for a beggar to see through his and Gu Louyin's disguise.Beggars don't lie.

"We have never met him before, why did he dream of us many years ago?" Xiao Yu'an guessed, "Could it be that he had a precognitive dream?"

Gu Louyin thought for a while, and said, "Or, he peeped into the Dao of Heaven unintentionally."

Xiao Yu'an was taken aback, "...the way of heaven?"

"It is rumored that those who are predestined with the Dao of Heaven can peek at the secrets of heaven when they meet." Gu Louyin said, "But no one knows who the 'destined person' is."

A long-lost memory was awakened, and Xiao Yu'an said slowly, "I seem to be destined for Heaven."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yu'an didn't feel that he had anything to hide from Gu Louyin.He straightened out his thoughts and said, "Since I can remember, there has been a voice in my head. It controls my every word and action, and I have to live according to its meaning." The suffocating feeling of people pinching their throats came up again.He took a deep breath and continued: "It forces me to please my junior brother, to recognize my brother, to approach you...I know this sounds outrageous, you...do you believe me?"

Gu Louyin said without any hesitation, "I believe."
