Guanqingzhai

In the early morning after the heavy rain, the rain stopped, and the flowers were all over the place.Hu Yue opened her eyes, usually Chu Jue was not on the bed at this time.He sat up, only to find that the person beside him was still lying down.An arm hit him, and Chu Jue's sleeping appearance was very cold, like a jade sculpture.The slightly pursed lips did not seem to relax.

Hu Yue gently pulled his arm away, but the person beside the pillow said, "Have you made a decision?"

Hu Yue hummed, put on his clothes, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the branches outside the window and said, "I decided to find another way."

Chu Jue said: "Who is that person? Let you be so protective?"

Hu Yue sighed, "You know him too."

Chu Jue asked, "Who?"

Hu Yue glanced back at him, smiled wryly and said, "Our old friend, Xuan Mingzi..."

Chu Jue didn't expect it to be him, and then got up and said, "Then you..."

Hu Yue said: "Ha, I still have you as my backer. Brother Chu will naturally not see me lose my soul because of the backlash of the contract. As for Liu Yin from Qiao'er, I can just meet him for a while."

Chu Jue thoughtfully said, "I have a way to get your voice back, but it depends on whether you dare or not, brother."

Hu Yue grinned, and said heartlessly, "Why don't you dare? Tell me."

Chu Jue grabbed Hu Yue, leaned close to his ear and started talking, his hands were not idle, he moved his hands up and down.

After finishing the matter, Hu Yue pushed away Chu Jue, who was still not satisfied. He straightened his clothes and nodded, "Got it. Let's do it that way."

Chu Jue shook his head and watched Hu Yue walking outside, his face still flushed, he laughed out loud.But then the smile disappeared in those eyes.He murmured: "How can I keep you? My admirer?"

Hu Yue was ready to go, but before she went out, she met the long-lost cat demon kid.

He still has a thief-like look on his face, and his eyes are a little complicated when he sees Hu Yue.Hu Yue knew that he didn't hate herself, but she was afraid of herself.

He smiled and said to the child, "Yo, long time no see."

He said: "Why don't you fulfill your promise? As long as you fulfill your promise, you will benefit from it."

Hu Yue said, "Then why are you here today?"

The cat demon's pupils were changing colors under the sunlight, and he said, "My master wants me to fetch your soul."

Hu Yue shrugged and said, "She's still ready to attack."

The cat demon thought for a while, and finally said, "Why did you help me in the first place?"

Hu Yue sighed and patted his head, the cat demon shook his hand, Hu Yue said: "Because I feel the same loneliness from you as I do. So I think we should be regarded as friends."

The cat demon wrinkled her nose and said, "I have no human feelings. I won't show mercy to you. I didn't in the past, and I won't now."

Hu Yue whispered: "I may have had feelings in the past, but now I don't have any."

But the cat demon shook his head and said, "No, you have, otherwise you would not choose to violate the agreement. So you are a person with feelings."

Hu Yue was taken aback for a moment, and he said, "Then, can you give me another day?"

The cat demon hesitated for a moment, and Hu Yue pulled out the small takraw ball from his bosom and said, "Hey, I'm begging for mercy, so what about this ball?"

The cat demon bit her lip and disappeared into the street with a meow.Hu Yue looked at the empty street and said, "Don't you have feelings too."

At this time, Chu Jue came out fully dressed, and said, "According to the plan."

Hu Yue sighed, "Let's go."

Hu Yue and Chu Jue came to Hongqiao's boat, and Hongqiao greeted them with a smile when she saw them coming together.Made a blessing and said: "You two came together, and it happened that my mother bought fresh shad. You two are lucky."

Hu Yue patted his fan, and said: "There is no good fortune, there is no good fortune, we both came here to ask something, and we will leave after asking."

Hongqiao was taken aback, and said, "What's the matter?"

Hu Yue asked: "We need to ask Xiaoying about this matter, we want to know about that salesman."

Hongqiao looked at Chu Jue suspiciously, meaning why did you say it yourself.Hu Yue smiled and said, "Qiao'er, let's call Xiaoying first. This matter is important."

Hongqiao knew how to measure, and immediately went to the stern of the boat to find Xiaoying.When Xiaoying came, Hu Yue asked some rumors about the shopkeeper and asked, "Do you know where he lives?"

Xiaoying shook her head and said, "I don't know, but he would set up a stall at the east gate of Taixue every day, specializing in selling and repairing musical instruments."

Hu Yue nodded, and then said: "Brother Chu is fine."

After speaking, the two left in a hurry, Hongqiao and Xiaoying looked at each other, Xiaoying said, "What's the matter with them in such a hurry?"

Hongqiao also shook her head, Xiaoying said: "By the way, miss, your piano has been repaired and has been put back in the house."

Hongqiao nodded, then glanced in the direction the two were walking before returning to her wing.

But I didn't expect to meet that Liu Yin before I reached the east gate of Taixue, he was standing at the place where Hu Yue listened to Liu.Squinting and looking up at the green willows dancing with the wind.

Hu Yue was dazed for a moment, and Chu Jue behind him slightly squeezed his shoulder.Hu Yue stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency is Liu Yin? Xiaoguan Liu?"

Liu Yin turned to look at Hu Yue, but his voice was Hu Yue's, and he said, "Oh, do you know me?"

Hu Yue smiled and said, "I'm Miss Hongqiao's friend."

Liu Yin hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "So that's the case, but there is also a piano that needs to be replaced or what kind of musical instrument do you want to buy?"

Hu Yue said: "I want to talk about a sale and exchange something with you."

A sneer flashed across Liu Yin's coquettish face, but then he still had a gentle expression, and said lightly, "Oh? What is it?"

Hu Yue said: "Sound-changing, we will find your soul for you."

Liu Yin laughed out loud, a chill flashed across his eyes, he felt that although there was no wind blowing around, the willow branches were dancing wildly as if a strong wind had blown by.Liu Yin said: "Are you the one who won't be willing to take your life after breaking the contract?"

Hu Yue pursed her lips and shook her head, "Are you kidding? She just couldn't find me...otherwise she would have strangled me."

Chu Jue was not as dishonest as Hu Yue, he said, "Would you like it?"

Liu Yin squinted at Chu Jue and said, "Your Excellency is that Young Master Chu?"

Chu Jue said, "That's right."

Liu Yin smiled evilly, he said: "How do you know I don't have a soul?"

Chu Jue said: "Your shape is not your own, your voice is not your own, but you have bones, but you can't feel any popularity from you. So I conclude that you have no entity. I want to know what you used What changed Hu Yue's voice and your current appearance."

Liu Yin looked at Hu Yue, then at Chu Jue, and said, "She was wrong about one thing."

Hu Yue frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yin didn't answer, he turned to leave.He didn't answer them, but he found that he couldn't move. At this moment, he glanced at the two of them and said, "What do you mean?"

Hu Yue shook her head, scratched her hair and walked in front of him, raised her chin and said, "It's nothing, you have to cooperate even if you don't cooperate."

Liu Yin smiled slightly at Hu Yue, and he poured out two words: "Yes."

Slowly approaching Hu Yue, Hu Yue only felt a strange fragrance emanating from him, which made him lose his mind for a while.Before he could react, Liu Yin's finger had already touched his forehead.Seeing this, Chu Jue wanted to move, but was stopped by Liu Yin: "Don't move, or he will die."

Chu Jue's expression didn't waver at all, but the speed of his hand was as fast as lightning, erratic like a ghost.For a moment, a jade ruler was placed around Liu Yin's neck.

Only then did Liu Yin feel the pressure. He lowered his voice and said, "Why are you here? In your capacity..."

Chu Jue said, "Since you know my identity, then you should let him go."

Liu Yin smiled miserably and said, "Let him go? Impossible!"

After speaking, Hu Yue condensed her fingers a little, and then fell back on the ground with a muffled snort.But at the same time, there was a strange reaction on Hu Yue's body. He felt that the breath around Hu Yue suddenly condensed, and Hu Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a flash of blue light in his eyes, but only at that moment, a trace of murderous aura appeared in Hu Yue's eyes, this aura was so chilling that it didn't look like Hu Yue, but another person.Chu Jue moved his lips slightly, but then the aura belonging to Hu Yue returned, and his eyes became unhappy again.He slowly got up and said, "This method doesn't work for me. Let's get down to business and talk about something practical."

Liu Yin was flanked by two people back and forth, unable to advance or retreat.Liu Yin struggled and said, "You want to echo back, but I can't do it. Only her..."

Hu Yue waved her hand and said, "Can I help you find what you're looking for?"

Liu Yin snorted and asked, "What am I looking for?"

Hu Yue said: "It is what you exchanged for your appearance and voice, your soul."

Liu Yin was startled, as if he had been waiting for someone to say this to him for a long time.

He looked at Hu Yue and said, "No, not yet..." After finishing speaking, he forcibly pushed away Chu Jue's shackles.Then he ran away.

Hu Yue wanted to chase, but was stopped by Chu Jue and said, "If he didn't volunteer, we couldn't force the contract."

At this moment, there were many twists and turns, and Hu Yue also frowned slightly. He put his chin in one hand and said: "Brother Huan Chu said that he has no soul. If ordinary people have long wanted to find their souls, why does he seem to be in no hurry to find them? The next possibility..."

Hu Yue sighed and said: "Do I have to see her again? We know that seeing her is worse than not seeing her. Seeing her might be worse than dying. I never thought that I, Hu Yue, would have a day when I was afraid of seeing a beautiful woman... Can I hide for a while longer?" Time? If it doesn’t work, let me hide in your palace, right?”

Chu Jue approached Hu Yue, his eyes darkened. He grabbed Hu Yue's arm and said excitedly for the first time: "Do you want to stay in my palace forever? As long as you are willing, I will guard you forever and protect you forever. "

Hu Yue laughed dryly, withdrew her hand, and said, "Brother Chu, I was joking...don't take it seriously."

Chu Jue's eyes dimmed, and he laughed at himself, "Yes, I can't take it seriously."

Hu Yue didn't dare to joke anymore this time, he could only nod dejectedly.

At this time Chu Jue said, "Maybe there is another person who can help you."

Hu Yue narrowed her eyes and said, "Xuan Mingzi?"

Chu Jue nodded and said, "Exactly."

Hu Yue said: "I don't want to look for him. I just need to get my voice back for this matter. If they meet, then things will develop to the most complicated situation."

The look in Chu Jue's eyes deepened, and he said, "Is it related to the Liu Yin you heard?"

Hu Yue suddenly lowered her head, nodded slightly, and said, "Brother Chu...I..."

Seeing him like this, Chu Jue touched the willow branches by the lake and said, "There is another way."

Chu Jue looked at Hu Yue who was about to speak, interrupted him, and said, "My dear brother, go back to the Hongqiao boat first, and I will come to you in the evening."

After finishing speaking, he walked back without looking back.

Hu Yue looked at Chu Jue's back and seemed to want to stop him, but he didn't say anything. He looked at the wicker: "The catkins are flying wildly under the Tang, not like flying flowers are better than flying flowers. I still remember the place where the broken branches will be lingering and lingering again and again." linger."

Chu Jue frowned while walking, clenched his fists with his hands behind him.He couldn't help laughing and said, "Ha, is this the love in the world?"

Besides, when Hu Yue returned to Hongqiao's boat, Hongqiao happened to be playing the pipa. Seeing that it was Hu Yue, Hongqiao raised her head with a slight smile and said, "Master is here?"

Hu Yue was still smiling, but not easily.He said: "Hey, it would be nice for Qiao'er to play me a song. I'm not in a good mood right now."

Qiao'er looked at Hu Yue who was laughing and crying, nodded without asking any further questions, and entered the room to meet Hu Yue, but Hu Yue was standing on the road, and a tear fell from his still smiling eyes, Hong Qiao was surprised when she saw this , she quickly asked: "My lord, what's the matter? Why..." She couldn't bear to say the word crying.

Hu Yue was stunned for a moment, he touched his face dully, and then sighed: "Qiaoer, am I going too far?"

Hongqiao was puzzled by his question, thinking about how to answer him.Hu Yue said: "Forget it, just follow your heart."

Hu Yue entered the room, but he didn't speak anymore, he just sat on the stool by himself.Still smiling slightly, but Hongqiao felt that he seemed to be empty somewhere.

Besides Chu Jue, Chu Jue walked directly to the old house.When we arrived at the door, we met the cat demon guarding the door. The cat demon looked at him vigilantly, and made a whirring sound from his mouth.Chu Jue didn't care at all, and walked into the yard with his clothes on, but it seemed that the master didn't see him from afar, and suddenly there was a strong wind.Chu Jue stood motionless at the door and said, "I'm here for one person."

After the wind stopped, the machine in the courtyard was extremely quiet, followed by the sound of clanking and zither, revealing a sense of sharpness and urgency.

Chu Jue said, "He made a contract with you, and I'm here to settle the matter."

A woman sighed in the sound of the piano, she said: "Then you are here to tell me the whereabouts of 'him'?"

Chu Jue said, "I'm here to get his voice back. That's all."

The woman laughed and said, "Are you so confident? My son, you use your affection, and those who use affection always suffer more."

Chu Jue said: "The game you set up is also considered deep, and it is nothing more than asking me to enter the game."

The woman snorted, and he said, "How do you say it?"

Chu Jue walked towards the dwarf, and he said, "The person you want Hu Yue to find is me. From the beginning, your target is me."

The woman chuckled, followed by a string of sounds, which seemed to be an answer.

Chu Jue said: "So you planned to let Hu Yue into the game at the beginning, and you burned the soul-destroying incense in the house. The effect was to let Hu Yue relax his vigilance at the last moment and agree to your contract. The willow tree is the willow tree , That's why when we said that we wanted to find his soul for him, he would be so evasive, because at least he still has a human body, but if he regains his soul, he can only be a willow tree, I think it's because you control him The method, not only this willow tree, but also that cat demon. You found Hu Yue because Hu Yue's lifespan is not controlled by time, so you think he can find me. Or he can attract me. "

The woman sighed: "But he would rather break the contract than let you pick me up. Is he affectionate or ruthless to you?"

Chu Jue continued: "That's why Hu Yue refused to let Xuan Mingzi come because the person you want to see is not him. Pulling him out will break the situation. Hu Yue naturally knows this."

The woman smiled lightly and said, "If you care about it, you will be chaotic. Hu Sheng doesn't want you to take risks, and he doesn't want to implicate unrelated people. I have a bias in this game."

At this time, a woman came out of the house, her appearance was exactly the same as Liu Yin's, she was wearing a plain Taoist robe, but her black hair was covered with frost and snow, without a crown, she was draped behind her like a snow waterfall.Holding the whisk in her hand, she flicked it lightly and said, "See you for a long time, brother."

Chu Jue didn't make a sound, he said, "It's your unwiseness to move him."

The woman smiled calmly and said, "Hehe, you are aloof, you are emotional."

The two alternated, but the woman said: "You know the purpose of my coming to you."

Chu Jue sneered and said, "You want to kill me? Can you do it?"

The woman shook her head and said: "I don't need to be like this. I didn't expect you to care so much about Hu Sheng. This has added a great weakness to you. A weakness that I also had back then."

Chu Jue's surroundings were suddenly covered with frost, and the stones were as cold as ice. He repeated: "You are unwise to move him."

The woman smiled slightly and said: "Hehe, your current appearance makes me feel funny and ironic. But it doesn't matter, I only want that kind of thing."

Chu Jue said, "It's gone."

The woman laughed again, and the wind suddenly picked up. She said, "You think I'm so easy to deceive?"

Chu Jue said, "Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me."

The woman turned her eyes and said, "As long as I kill you, I can achieve the same effect. In this way, I can also take revenge for Liu Lang."

Chu Jue's eyes were as cold as ice, and there was no expression on his face. He said, "I'll give you a choice, go back quickly."

The woman glanced at him disdainfully: "Do you think you are still the old you? It's ridiculous."

Chu Jue stopped talking nonsense, he took a step forward, the woman swung the fly whisk heavily, and suddenly the willow branches around Chu Jue were wrapped around Chu Jue, tightening it tighter and tighter.The woman smiled and said, "Give up, I've waited too long for this technique to restrain you...too long..."

Just when Chu Jue was dragged into the air by the willow tree, wounds were strangled on his body, almost strangling him to death.

But Chu Jue didn't say a word, as if the pain had nothing to do with him.He only heard a click of his hand bones, and he just hummed softly, but he didn't seem to feel it.

Seeing him like this, the woman couldn't help feeling suspicious, but before she could move, she saw a white light rushing in, and a person rushed in between the lightning and flint.He was holding a sword in his hand, and he saw that this person was Hu Yue.

Hu Yue aimed at the willow tree and stabbed it with a sword, and the willow tree left bloody water from the trunk. Hu Yue jumped up and flew to the top of the tree like a frightened bird, stabbing with the angry sword, the tree was cut in half, and then fixed his eyes, There is Chu Jue entangled in the wicker, just a piece of wood.And there is a black spell on the wood.It was the one that Chu Jue flew out yesterday.

The woman gritted her teeth and said: "It's a good move to make a mistake, and it's the move that Tao Zhi Li replaces."

At this moment, the real Chu Jue walked in slowly, and the jade ruler in his hand also glowed slightly green. When he stepped on one foot, the surrounding formations were broken.Then he walked slowly towards Hu Yue and stood by his side.Looking coldly at the nun in front of her, she said, "I'm giving you a chance, go back."

The woman couldn't believe it: "You guys!"

Hu Yue looked at the woman's appearance and said: "As expected, such a beautiful figure should be born on a girl's body to be humiliated. It was born on a man's body, ah, it's ruined. Girl, this is the first time we meet Come on, Xiaosheng is polite." After speaking, the sword in his hand disappeared, and he held a folding fan in his hand, and he bowed deeply.

Chu Jue couldn't help but roll his eyes at the side.He said: "This beauty almost killed you and me, my good brother."

Hu Yue sighed, shook his head and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, girl, you can't make a contract with people, so you need the cat demon to help you as a medium, so the contracting parties are all cat demons. When the girl led me to listen to Liuyin, it was because of the Let's make a contract with this tree. So now that the tree is destroyed, the contract has been untied. I'm right, but I need you to recall the soul of this tree, otherwise if the tree withers, my sword will also In vain."

The woman said coldly: "So you played tricks, knew that I was spying on you, and even performed this play specially?"

Hu Yue shook her head and said, "Of course not. In fact, I told Chu Jue about it at the end. If the girl hadn't forced me here, I wouldn't have said it. It's not a good thing for you or him, is it? ?”

Chu Jue stood aside, silent, but said the most gentle sentence at this time, he whispered: "He is dead, you should not live in the past."

The woman shook the whisk, she laughed and said: "Yes, he is dead... so my heart is also dead, and you will not get the so-called love, will you? You say I am naive, why are you not? My Good brother."

Suddenly, a boy appeared from the side. He stood between the woman and Hu Yue Chujue, saying, "Who dares to hurt my master!"

The woman looked at the two of them coldly, Hu Yue shook her head and said: "Little friend, but your master won't let us go." Suddenly Hu Yue opened his eyes wide and shouted sharply: "Be careful behind your back!"

In an instant, the woman suddenly made a movement. She flicked the dust whisk and directly wrapped around the head of the cat demon. With a light lift, the cat demon turned away.

The cat demon didn't have time to be surprised, and only gave Hu Yue one last look, as if begging for mercy or had something to say, but it was too late.

Hu Yue raised her sword again, but was stopped by Chu Jue. The moment the demon cat died, her body turned back into that of a cat. When its head fell to the ground and rolled a few times, the surroundings were suddenly shaken.The woman sneered and said: "Brother, remember, I will take revenge. And Hu Sheng, you must not be emotional, otherwise, you will never recover."

After finishing speaking, the woman returned to the house, the ground was violently shaken, and the surroundings were shaking violently, and soon the house collapsed.Chu Jue frowned, pulled Hu Yue who was still about to step forward, and ran out of the yard quickly, stepped out with his front foot, and turned into ruins behind his back foot, nothing else.

Hu Yue looked at Chu Jue, Chu Jue pursed her lips and said, "You're still here."

Hu Yue sighed, "Because you're here."

Chu Jue frowned, he smiled softly, and said, "You must want to know about me and her?"

Hu Yue said: "Tsk tsk, Lingmei is such a beautiful woman, is it appropriate to tell me such a person?"

Chu Jue said, "You are the only beauty I want."

Hu Yue was left speechless by his blunt words, he waved his hand and said, "I don't care, I got my voice back anyway, the matter is over. Let's go, go drink..."

Chu Jue nodded, and the two walked side by side. Hu Yue looked back at the ruins, took out the rattan ball from his arms, threw it behind him, and said silently: "Little friend, this love will continue in the next life." gone."

Just after the two left, a person came from the other end. He looked at the ruins, then at the takraw ball, squashed the takraw ball with one foot, and sneered.Then he walked towards the ruins...

At this time, at the gate of the ruins, only the two paper-stitched figures remained motionless, still looking at the visitor strangely, with a smile that was not a smile.
