The system forced me to eat soft rice [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 42, The 2st World (2)
In the Taiqing Palace on the top of Nanshan Mountain, the head teacher Li Xuankun put his hands behind his back, and misty clouds loomed in the open gate behind him.
The interior decoration of the Taiqing Palace is simple, everything is simple, the center is the plaque of the ancestors, and there are a few wooden chairs on both sides of the hall, except for these, there is no extra decoration.
"Can you tell me a little bit more about what you saw and heard that day?" Li Xuankun stroked his long beard, his frowning brows were filled with worry, he turned to look at Qin Hezhou who was standing aside, and said, "Since it is Master Lu Send a letter to me saying that there is an urgent matter that needs to be discussed, and this matter is related to the secrets of the Nanshan faction, we must proceed with caution."
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou turned his head and glanced at Lu Lingchuan, who nodded slightly at him, and then he said in a flat tone: "The two of you used the technique of "sound transmission through the air" when they had a secret conversation that day, so I only listened to it roughly. , the general content is that their plan is related to the seal of Jiuying, and they will make a move at the hunting meeting three days later."
When Li Xuankun heard the word "Jiuying", the expression between Li Xuankun's eyebrows became more serious. The corners of his eyes were weather-beaten due to the years, and there were many wrinkles, but at this time he looked at Qin Hezhou with eyes like a vigorous The eagle, whose deep gaze seems to penetrate everything,
"Let me confirm with you again, what you said is absolutely true?"
Qin Hezhou accepted Li Xuankun's look and stared at him without hesitation: "It's absolutely true."
Li Xuankun looked at him silently with his hands behind his back and arched back, his eyes darkened, and then he looked sideways at Lu Lingchuan, his gaze went back and forth between the two of them, after a long while, Li Xuankun reached out and twirled his beard, raised his eyes Looking at Qin Hezhou with clear eyes, he said in a loud voice:
"I see. Since you are Master Lu's apprentice and he entrusts you completely, I must believe what you said today." After speaking, Li Xuankun walked to the plaque in the ancestral hall again, and sighed loudly : "It seems that Master Yideng's prophecy about the 'Nine Infant Disaster' before his retirement is not deceiving me. The Nanshan School is indeed in trouble."
"It's just that the Zongmen Grand Competition, which is held every five years, can't be a joke, and it can't be stopped." Speaking of this, Li Xuankun shook his head again and again, "The hunting meeting after three days has to go according to plan, but I Manpower will be arranged to be on guard, and among the contestants..."
"Let me go." Qin Hezhou suddenly said, "Anyway, I was going to participate."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Lu Lingchuan was looking towards him, and Qin Hezhou gave him a comforting look, signaling him not to worry.
The matter related to the "Nine Infant Seal" is definitely not as simple as it seems, and he can't let it go.
"Okay." Li Xuankun nodded at him when he heard the words, and said again: "I will find my disciples to walk with you."
After discussing this matter, Lu Lingchuan and Qin Hezhou left Taiqing Palace.
And after they left, Li Xuankun stood in front of the ancestral plaque, brushed the dust off the chopping board with his hand, the expression in his eyes was gloomy, and then he called the little Taoist boy who was guarding the door, and whispered a few words in the boy's ear. After saying this, Dao Tong left quickly as if flying.
·
In front of Qin Hezhou and Lu Lingchuan were towering and undulating mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist at a glance, and on the mountainside at their feet, countless little Taoist priests were busy hanging festive red lanterns on the shelves just set up this morning , the whole Nanshan is decorated with lights and festoons, making it very lively.
All this is in preparation for tonight's Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival.
There was a three-day gap between the first selection and the second team competition, just in time for the Lantern Festival.
Lu Lingchuan glanced down at the gap between the swords, and his eyes were attracted by the lively scene.
"Master, are you interested?" Qin Hezhou followed his line of sight and frowned.
"I...I was thinking about the hunting conference three days later." Lu Lingchuan turned his gaze, cleared his voice, and said seriously: "As you said, since you are proficient in 'sound transmission' People, then it is very likely that they are members of my Three Puritans, so I will not tell the eight elders and their disciples about this matter, but I will put a few confidantes among the accompanying personnel, but the only contestant is you One person, be sure... be careful when the time comes."
During the conversation, they walked to a place, and a prominent strange peak appeared on the ridge at the front. The next second, the two of them drove their swords across an arc at the same time, and turned from the mountain peak.
After turning around the mountain peak, Qin Hezhou's complexion seemed a little more gloomy than before, his brows were slightly furrowed, the corners of his mouth were tense, and he just nodded to Lu Lingchuan without saying much.
Qin Hezhou was unusually silent, which caused Lu Lingchuan to take an extra look at him, but the other party was only concentrating on holding the sword, looking forward with attention, and didn't seem to notice his movement.
It took Yujian only half a quarter of an hour to get to where they lived. The courtyards where Lu Lingchuan and Qin Hezhou lived were very close to each other. Normally speaking, they should discuss their plans in three days. At that moment, he stopped so suddenly that Lu Lingchuan almost bumped into his back inadvertently.
Then Lu Lingchuan saw the other party turn his head, and said indifferently: "Master, I still have something to do, I will discuss the plan with you at night."
There seemed to be a lot of energy in his tone, and there was a sense of impatience.
Lu Lingchuan was stunned for a moment. Qin Hezhou had never spoken to him in this tone before, but before he could respond, the other party said "Then I'll go first" and walked out of the courtyard.
He was left alone in place.
After Qin Hezhou walked quickly into his residence, the door was closed with a "bang", and the sword in his hand could no longer hold it, and there was a loud noise when it fell to the ground. Qin Hezhou's palms were clenched tightly. After sweating so much, he firmly supported the table with one hand so that the whole person would not fall to the ground. The wooden thorns on the edge of the table were deeply embedded in his fingers, and traces of blood spilled out, but this feeling The pain meant nothing to him at this moment.
Bursts of pain struck from the lungs like mountains and seas, a severe burning sensation ignited, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in the throat.
Wu Zhangfei had reminded him before that the side effect of the demonic temptation was unbearable. Qin Hezhou didn't take it seriously at the time. Now that he had tasted it, he realized why it happened. Needing the iron chain in the water curtain, the pain in his chest made him want to take out his heart and lungs.
If he didn't use this forbidden technique, Mind Demon Attraction would occur once a month at most, but the whipping he received some time ago and the frequent competitions made it possible that even though he didn't use Mind Demon Attraction, the date of this attack was still advanced. It was also the reason why Wu Zhangfei had warned him to stay safe and not to cause trouble.
The side effects of this sorcery are not only dangerous but also urgent, and there are often no symptoms before the onset, so Qin Hezhou didn't notice anything wrong an hour ago, and Yu Jian felt the true energy in his chest start to flow back when he was halfway through the journey. At that time, he had no Any way, I can only find a reason to dismiss Lu Lingchuan.
Qin Hezhou's face was pale at this time, his lips were bloodless, his black hair was messy against his cheeks, and the bottom of his eyes was dark red. He bit his lips tightly, but even so, blood continued to overflow from his lips, "Tick tick "Click" landed on the ground and the black skirt.
The knuckles of Qin Hezhou's left hand were about to crush the corner of the table. He supported it with the last bit of willpower, and the only thought in his mind was that it was lucky that Lu Lingchuan didn't see himself like this.
But at this moment, there were several knocks of "Boom, Boom, Boom" outside the door, and Lu Lingchuan called his name outside.
Upon hearing this movement, Qin Hezhou frowned, lowered his back, and ruthlessly controlled himself not to make a sound, but the blood constantly overflowing from his mouth made him want to cough, so he stretched out a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth , but there is always blood coming out, no matter how hard it stops...
After Qin Hezhou left, Lu Lingchuan still vaguely felt that something was wrong. What was the urgent matter that could not be said so that he left in such a hurry? My intuition came to Qin Hezhou's residence to find him.
He knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response in the room, it was as quiet as no one, Lu Lingchuan continued to knock twice, and finally stopped knocking, his fingers were hanging in the air, Looking at the heavy wooden board, the palm of the hand slowly dropped.
Since Qin Hezhou didn't want to open it, then forget it.
Then Lu Lingchuan stood outside the door for a long time, and there was still no reaction in the room. Finally, he lowered his eyes, looked at the closed door in front of him, turned around and was about to leave,
Suddenly there was a "squeak" sound from behind,
The door opened.
"Just now I suddenly remembered that the participants' information that needs to be filled in for the hunting conference has not yet been submitted," Qin Hezhou was standing in front of him at this moment, holding a brown parchment scroll in his hand, and said in a flat tone, "So I came back and looked for it."
The distance between the two was very close, and Lu Lingchuan raised his eyes to look at him. The other person's expression was normal, except that his face was a little pale, and those deep eyes were looking at him intently.
Seeing this, he didn't know what to say for a while, and the question that was on his lips was swallowed again. Inadvertently, Lu Lingchuan turned his gaze to the parchment in Qin Hezhou's hand, but just as his gaze moved down, the other party The dazzling red on the skirt caught his attention.
Qin Hezhou was wearing a long black gown, only two white edges were exposed at the intersection of the lapels. Upon closer inspection, the red was extremely dazzling. Lu Lingchuan frowned, his expression became a little anxious, and he went to look again. When the other party's expression turned pale, he felt that Qin Hezhou's lips were pale.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, in order not to let Lu Lingchuan notice the strangeness, Qin Hezhou said again: "Master, I'm not going to..."
But before he finished speaking, Lu Lingchuan grabbed his wrist, and the fingertips of the other party rested on his pulse, and there was a cool touch.
"fine?"
Lu Lingchuan's tone of voice was urgent, and the end of the voice couldn't stop rising, which was obviously a rhetorical question.
As soon as Qin Hezhou lowered his head, he met Shang Lu Lingchuan's cold eyes, but at this moment, there was unstoppable worry hidden in those peach eyes.
Qin Hezhou's pulse was in a mess, like countless threads tangled together, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
"Are you okay?" Lu Lingchuan looked him straight in the eyes and asked again.
As he said that, Lu Lingchuan's long eyelashes trembled, the corners of his eyes drooped, and his lips were tightly pursed. Back then, Wu Zhangfei refused to reveal a word to him, so he left Zhang medicine to facilitate his departure, and now Qin Hezhou is also hiding it from him.
For the first time, Qin Hezhou felt that the other party's gaze was a bit scorching. He looked at the flashing water in Lu Lingchuan's eyes, felt his heart tremble, and wanted to say something comforting, but the sentence "I'm fine" seemed to be stuck It's stuck in my throat and I can't say anything.
At the moment when he was in a daze, there was a sudden warmth from his wrist, and Lu Lingchuan sent his cultivation over with spiritual power.
Qin Hezhou shrank his wrist, subconsciously trying to pull it out, but the other party held it tighter.
[That's right, I thought you didn't plan to do the mission anymore? 】
The voice of the system appeared in his mind after a long absence, but Qin Hezhou didn't really want to talk to him.
After a while, Qin Hezhou felt that the breath in his internal organs became much more stable. He cleared his voice and said to Lu Lingchuan, "Master, it's all right."
But Lu Lingchuan didn't stop, until the other party stopped him for the second time, he slowly raised his eyes and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"En." Qin Hezhou responded, and withdrew his wrist.
He was about to straighten his cuffs, but in the next second, Lu Lingchuan's slender knuckles suddenly grabbed the hem of his shirt. Qin Hezhou was brought down by this sudden movement, and the tip of his nose was almost touching the opponent, his eyes fell. On the pink lips of the other party, Lu Lingchuan's lips looked very soft, but the words he said next carried an unquestionable tone,
"What happens next time, tell me."
"I see."
Instead of saying "yes", he said "I see".
·
During the lantern festival at night, Qin Hezhou obviously felt that Lu Lingchuan was a little angry, and his whole body seemed extremely twisted.
As long as I looked at him, he would deliberately turn his head to look at other places, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he would grab his wrist every now and then to feel his pulse, he would probably be walking a distance from him. Zhang far away.
Because of the Shangyuan Festival, the deserted Nanshan mountainside is decorated with lights and festoons. Along the winding winding path, there are all kinds of traffickers and small shops, and the music is everywhere for a while. , Candle shadows criss-cross, bright red lanterns are hung high, frolicking crowds pass by in twos and threes, and there is a sound of phoenix flute amidst the sound of gongs.
Under the embellishment of this light, the night is also contaminated with the hustle and bustle of the world.
Qin Hezhou and Lu Lingchuan walked aimlessly along this illuminated night road. Occasionally, two or three children would pass by them laughing and playing, but neither of them would speak first, and the atmosphere became a bit tense. Awkward.
Lu Lingchuan was still angry about what happened this afternoon, but Qin Hezhou didn't know what to say.
He subconsciously glanced to the side, and met Lu Lingchuan's gaze who was quietly looking over at him. The moment his eyes met, Lu Lingchuan quickly withdrew his gaze, leaving Qin Hezhou with a sideways gaze. The long eyelashes like black feathers trembled slightly, it seemed,
Really awkward.
At this moment, a small boy from the street corner ran past them wearing a bronze fang mask. This style of mask is very common in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but it is very novel to Lu Lingchuan, so For a moment, his gaze was directly attracted by the mask in the opponent's hand.
When Lu Lingchuan raised his head again, Qin Hezhou whispered in his ear, "Master, wait for me here.", then turned and left.
Lu Lingchuan stood at the same spot, watching his back gradually drift away in the dim light, and finally ran in front of the little Taoist boy just now, and squatted down. Qin Hezhou didn't know what he said to the little Taoist boy, and pointed in his direction again , the child looked over in the direction of his finger, and then put the mask in Qin Hezhou's hand. Qin Hezhou took the mask, handed the child a toy, and smiled at the child , the sporadic lights reflected on his handsome side face, making his crooked eyebrows and eyes very beautiful.
After Xiao Daotong took the toy, he jumped and ran away, while Qin Hezhou put on the fang mask and walked towards himself under the reflection of hundreds of lanterns on both sides of the road.
When he walked in front of him, Qin Hezhou slowly took off the bronze mask on his face. Under the night, a gentle smile bloomed on his handsome cheeks, and there were little stars hidden in the dark pupils, which were more beautiful than the stars in the sky. Bright, under his smiling face, the bustling scene behind him dimmed for a moment.
"Master, do you like it?" Qin Hezhou looked at Lu Lingchuan with a smile.
Lu Lingchuan turned his head slightly to avoid the other party's burning gaze. Under the rendering of the light, his fair cheeks seemed to be stained with a faint blush, "What did you say to that child?"
There was curiosity in his voice, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the other party.
"I..." Qin Hezhou suddenly moved closer, "I told him that if he doesn't pay, I'll beat him up."
Hearing this, Lu Lingchuan raised his eyes to look at him suspiciously, but saw a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly understood.
But in the next second, Qin Hezhou suddenly lowered his head, and his deep voice fell on the side of Lu Lingchuan's neck, with a hint of bewitching,
"I told him, someone is unhappy, can you lend me this mask."
"Then he asked me 'is that brother over there?' and I said yes."
"He said again, 'Can I use a mask to comfort my brother when he's unhappy?', I said I'm not sure, but I want to try."
"So he gave me this mask, so, Master, what do you think..."
"......is it okay?"
After saying this, he looked straight into Lu Lingchuan's eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, as if he was seriously waiting for an answer.
Under his straightforward gaze, Lu Lingchuan's eyes dodged a little, he felt the skin on the back of his neck start to heat up, this time his ears were really red, and his voice became a little hesitant, "I... .I'm not angry."
Qin Hezhou curled his lips, "Really?"
"I......"
Before Lu Lingchuan could finish his sentence, a group of people suddenly flew past with swords at low altitude on the ground, and there was a howling wind and the cursing of passers-by on the street, and it seemed that one of them was about to bump into Lu Lingchuan , Qin Hezhou quickly put his arms around his waist, and pulled him into his arms.
The distance between the two was suddenly shortened infinitely, Lu Lingchuan's eyes widened suddenly, the other's thin lips were in front of him, separated by a thin layer of fabric, and the place on his waist that was touched by Qin Hezhou's palm just now was still a little hot, revealing A crisp, numb itching.
At the same time, there was a crisp sound of "bang!" from behind, and the jade hairpin that Lu Lingchuan used to tie his hair was knocked down on the ground and shattered into several petals. poured down.
Lu Lingchuan was wearing white clothes today, and he looked very slender. The blue hair that suddenly fell down made his peach blossom eyes add a touch of color under the light.
Immediately after he touched his hair, he reached out to pick up the broken hairpin on the ground, his left eyelid suddenly jumped a few times, which caused Lu Lingchuan to frown, with a vague premonition in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Qin Hezhou asked with a strange look on his face.
Lu Lingchuan shook his head, "It's okay, it's just...the jade is broken."
"Sui Sui is safe, don't they all say that this Jade Sui can prevent disasters?" Qin Hezhou smiled at him, "Master, you don't have to worry, just buy another one."
In fact, Qin Hezhou has never believed in ghosts and gods. It is nonsense for him to talk about bad omens and good omens, but if it can relieve the other party's worries, he doesn't mind saying a few more words like this.
"Ah."
Maybe he was infected by the other party's smile, the haze of that moment just disappeared instantly, Lu Lingchuan bent his mouth and nodded towards him.
Seeing this, Qin Hezhou looked around in this noisy street, and finally his eyes fell on a shop selling all kinds of strange gadgets, and then he said to Lu Lingchuan: "Master, go and have a look?"
Lu Lingchuan nodded and said "OK", and the two walked over together.
Among the exquisite wood carvings and antiques, Qin Hezhou picked up a finely carved wooden hairpin, which still exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, looked at the boss and asked, "How do you sell this?"
The boss looked at him with a smile on his face: "Young man, you have vision." He suddenly paused at this point, his eyes became inquiring: "Is this for your sweetheart?"
Qin Hezhou coughed lightly, glanced at Lu Lingchuan whose long hair was still loose beside him, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing this, the boss immediately understood, and he said again: "It turns out that it was given to this young master. This young master looks familiar, as if he met him at the opening ceremony?"
Before Lu Lingchuan could respond, he smiled boldly, "Since this young master has eyesight, my carved wooden hairpin is not a valuable thing. Since you like it, I will give it to you."
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou thanked him, and then he and Lu Lingchuan came to a remote and uninhabited cliff.
The two found a place to sit down. There was a rugged rock wall behind them and a cliff in front of them. There were no exquisite lanterns here, only the stars and a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
The bright moonlight reflected half of Lu Lingchuan's Qingyue side face. His eyes drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a thick shadow under his eyes. The moonlight set off his hair like frost. The petals are like peach blossoms in March, while the other half of him is shrouded in darkness, adding a haze.
Qin Hezhou looked at his soft-looking hair, and suddenly walked up behind him playfully, and said, "Master, I will help you."
Then he stretched out his hand to caress the other's black hair, the cool touch was smoother than expected.
Lu Lingchuan felt that the other party's fingers were constantly shuttled between his hair, but he always lifted a few strands of hair and then put them down, and then repeated them again and again, it didn't look like he was trying to help him tie his hair. It looks like it's...playing.
But he just hooked the corner of his mouth, but he didn't stop it, and let the other party have enough.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Hezhou finally inserted the hairpin. His bun was completely crooked, and a few strands of hair were scattered in front of the other's forehead. He didn't look as well as the kids on the street, but Lu Lingchuan Touching the bun that was crooked to nowhere, the arc of the corner of the mouth continued to rise, and even the corners of the eyes were also curved.
"It seems crooked." Qin Hezhou stood in front of Lu Lingchuan, raised his head, and said carefully.
After that, he lowered his head, trying to observe the other person's expression.
But Lu Lingchuan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay."
Because Qin Hezhou lowered his head like this, the eyes of the two met directly. The smile still hanging on the corner of Lu Lingchuan's mouth seemed to be very close at hand. Only each other's figures remained in the pupils of the eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became charming.
There is a cool breeze blowing by the side, other than that there is silence, and there is an obvious scent of bluegrass in the air, which is both bewildering and alluring. Driven by this kind of atmosphere, an invisible primitive attraction drives The two gradually approached each other, and their lips were also slowly approaching, almost touching each other.
At this distance, Qin Hezhou could no longer distinguish his own breathing from the other's, as if they were all intertwined. At this moment, only the pink lips of the other party were left in his eyes...
The author has something to say: Chuan Chuan (angry): "Next time, tell me what's going on."
Qin Hezhou: "I see." Dare to do it next time.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The interior decoration of the Taiqing Palace is simple, everything is simple, the center is the plaque of the ancestors, and there are a few wooden chairs on both sides of the hall, except for these, there is no extra decoration.
"Can you tell me a little bit more about what you saw and heard that day?" Li Xuankun stroked his long beard, his frowning brows were filled with worry, he turned to look at Qin Hezhou who was standing aside, and said, "Since it is Master Lu Send a letter to me saying that there is an urgent matter that needs to be discussed, and this matter is related to the secrets of the Nanshan faction, we must proceed with caution."

When Li Xuankun heard the word "Jiuying", the expression between Li Xuankun's eyebrows became more serious. The corners of his eyes were weather-beaten due to the years, and there were many wrinkles, but at this time he looked at Qin Hezhou with eyes like a vigorous The eagle, whose deep gaze seems to penetrate everything,
"Let me confirm with you again, what you said is absolutely true?"

And after they left, Li Xuankun stood in front of the ancestral plaque, brushed the dust off the chopping board with his hand, the expression in his eyes was gloomy, and then he called the little Taoist boy who was guarding the door, and whispered a few words in the boy's ear.

In front of Qin Hezhou and Lu Lingchuan were towering and undulating mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist at a glance, and on the mountainside at their feet, countless little Taoist priests were busy hanging festive red lanterns on the shelves just set up this morning , the whole Nanshan is decorated with lights and festoons, making it very lively.
All this is in preparation for tonight's Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival.
There was a three-day gap between the first selection and the second team competition, just in time for the Lantern Festival.
Lu Lingchuan glanced down at the gap between the swords, and his eyes were attracted by the lively scene.
"Master, are you interested?" Qin Hezhou followed his line of sight and frowned.

Then Lu Lingchuan stood outside the door for a long time, and there was still no reaction in the room. Finally, he lowered his eyes, looked at the closed door in front of him, turned around and was about to leave,
Suddenly there was a "squeak" sound from behind,
The door opened.
"Just now I suddenly remembered that the participants' information that needs to be filled in for the hunting conference has not yet been submitted," Qin Hezhou was standing in front of him at this moment, holding a brown parchment scroll in his hand, and said in a flat tone, "So I came back and looked for it."
The distance between the two was very close, and Lu Lingchuan raised his eyes to look at him. The other person's expression was normal, except that his face was a little pale, and those deep eyes were looking at him intently.
Seeing this, he didn't know what to say for a while, and the question that was on his lips was swallowed again. Inadvertently, Lu Lingchuan turned his gaze to the parchment in Qin Hezhou's hand, but just as his gaze moved down, the other party The dazzling red on the skirt caught his attention.
Qin Hezhou was wearing a long black gown, only two white edges were exposed at the intersection of the lapels. Upon closer inspection, the red was extremely dazzling. Lu Lingchuan frowned, his expression became a little anxious, and he went to look again. When the other party's expression turned pale, he felt that Qin Hezhou's lips were pale.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, in order not to let Lu Lingchuan notice the strangeness, Qin Hezhou said again: "Master, I'm not going to..."
But before he finished speaking, Lu Lingchuan grabbed his wrist, and the fingertips of the other party rested on his pulse, and there was a cool touch.
"fine?"
Lu Lingchuan's tone of voice was urgent, and the end of the voice couldn't stop rising, which was obviously a rhetorical question.
As soon as Qin Hezhou lowered his head, he met Shang Lu Lingchuan's cold eyes, but at this moment, there was unstoppable worry hidden in those peach eyes.
Qin Hezhou's pulse was in a mess, like countless threads tangled together, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
"Are you okay?" Lu Lingchuan looked him straight in the eyes and asked again.
As he said that, Lu Lingchuan's long eyelashes trembled, the corners of his eyes drooped, and his lips were tightly pursed. Back then, Wu Zhangfei refused to reveal a word to him, so he left Zhang medicine to facilitate his departure, and now Qin Hezhou is also hiding it from him.
For the first time, Qin Hezhou felt that the other party's gaze was a bit scorching. He looked at the flashing water in Lu Lingchuan's eyes, felt his heart tremble, and wanted to say something comforting, but the sentence "I'm fine" seemed to be stuck It's stuck in my throat and I can't say anything.
At the moment when he was in a daze, there was a sudden warmth from his wrist, and Lu Lingchuan sent his cultivation over with spiritual power.
Qin Hezhou shrank his wrist, subconsciously trying to pull it out, but the other party held it tighter.
[That's right, I thought you didn't plan to do the mission anymore? 】
The voice of the system appeared in his mind after a long absence, but Qin Hezhou didn't really want to talk to him.
After a while, Qin Hezhou felt that the breath in his internal organs became much more stable. He cleared his voice and said to Lu Lingchuan, "Master, it's all right."
But Lu Lingchuan didn't stop, until the other party stopped him for the second time, he slowly raised his eyes and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"En." Qin Hezhou responded, and withdrew his wrist.
He was about to straighten his cuffs, but in the next second, Lu Lingchuan's slender knuckles suddenly grabbed the hem of his shirt. Qin Hezhou was brought down by this sudden movement, and the tip of his nose was almost touching the opponent, his eyes fell. On the pink lips of the other party, Lu Lingchuan's lips looked very soft, but the words he said next carried an unquestionable tone,
"What happens next time, tell me."
"I see."
Instead of saying "yes", he said "I see".
·
During the lantern festival at night, Qin Hezhou obviously felt that Lu Lingchuan was a little angry, and his whole body seemed extremely twisted.
As long as I looked at him, he would deliberately turn his head to look at other places, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he would grab his wrist every now and then to feel his pulse, he would probably be walking a distance from him. Zhang far away.
Because of the Shangyuan Festival, the deserted Nanshan mountainside is decorated with lights and festoons. Along the winding winding path, there are all kinds of traffickers and small shops, and the music is everywhere for a while. , Candle shadows criss-cross, bright red lanterns are hung high, frolicking crowds pass by in twos and threes, and there is a sound of phoenix flute amidst the sound of gongs.
Under the embellishment of this light, the night is also contaminated with the hustle and bustle of the world.
Qin Hezhou and Lu Lingchuan walked aimlessly along this illuminated night road. Occasionally, two or three children would pass by them laughing and playing, but neither of them would speak first, and the atmosphere became a bit tense. Awkward.
Lu Lingchuan was still angry about what happened this afternoon, but Qin Hezhou didn't know what to say.
He subconsciously glanced to the side, and met Lu Lingchuan's gaze who was quietly looking over at him. The moment his eyes met, Lu Lingchuan quickly withdrew his gaze, leaving Qin Hezhou with a sideways gaze. The long eyelashes like black feathers trembled slightly, it seemed,
Really awkward.
At this moment, a small boy from the street corner ran past them wearing a bronze fang mask. This style of mask is very common in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but it is very novel to Lu Lingchuan, so For a moment, his gaze was directly attracted by the mask in the opponent's hand.
When Lu Lingchuan raised his head again, Qin Hezhou whispered in his ear, "Master, wait for me here.", then turned and left.
Lu Lingchuan stood at the same spot, watching his back gradually drift away in the dim light, and finally ran in front of the little Taoist boy just now, and squatted down. Qin Hezhou didn't know what he said to the little Taoist boy, and pointed in his direction again , the child looked over in the direction of his finger, and then put the mask in Qin Hezhou's hand. Qin Hezhou took the mask, handed the child a toy, and smiled at the child , the sporadic lights reflected on his handsome side face, making his crooked eyebrows and eyes very beautiful.
After Xiao Daotong took the toy, he jumped and ran away, while Qin Hezhou put on the fang mask and walked towards himself under the reflection of hundreds of lanterns on both sides of the road.
When he walked in front of him, Qin Hezhou slowly took off the bronze mask on his face. Under the night, a gentle smile bloomed on his handsome cheeks, and there were little stars hidden in the dark pupils, which were more beautiful than the stars in the sky. Bright, under his smiling face, the bustling scene behind him dimmed for a moment.
"Master, do you like it?" Qin Hezhou looked at Lu Lingchuan with a smile.
Lu Lingchuan turned his head slightly to avoid the other party's burning gaze. Under the rendering of the light, his fair cheeks seemed to be stained with a faint blush, "What did you say to that child?"
There was curiosity in his voice, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the other party.
"I..." Qin Hezhou suddenly moved closer, "I told him that if he doesn't pay, I'll beat him up."
Hearing this, Lu Lingchuan raised his eyes to look at him suspiciously, but saw a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly understood.
But in the next second, Qin Hezhou suddenly lowered his head, and his deep voice fell on the side of Lu Lingchuan's neck, with a hint of bewitching,
"I told him, someone is unhappy, can you lend me this mask."
"Then he asked me 'is that brother over there?' and I said yes."
"He said again, 'Can I use a mask to comfort my brother when he's unhappy?', I said I'm not sure, but I want to try."
"So he gave me this mask, so, Master, what do you think..."
"......is it okay?"
After saying this, he looked straight into Lu Lingchuan's eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, as if he was seriously waiting for an answer.
Under his straightforward gaze, Lu Lingchuan's eyes dodged a little, he felt the skin on the back of his neck start to heat up, this time his ears were really red, and his voice became a little hesitant, "I... .I'm not angry."
Qin Hezhou curled his lips, "Really?"
"I......"
Before Lu Lingchuan could finish his sentence, a group of people suddenly flew past with swords at low altitude on the ground, and there was a howling wind and the cursing of passers-by on the street, and it seemed that one of them was about to bump into Lu Lingchuan , Qin Hezhou quickly put his arms around his waist, and pulled him into his arms.
The distance between the two was suddenly shortened infinitely, Lu Lingchuan's eyes widened suddenly, the other's thin lips were in front of him, separated by a thin layer of fabric, and the place on his waist that was touched by Qin Hezhou's palm just now was still a little hot, revealing A crisp, numb itching.
At the same time, there was a crisp sound of "bang!" from behind, and the jade hairpin that Lu Lingchuan used to tie his hair was knocked down on the ground and shattered into several petals. poured down.
Lu Lingchuan was wearing white clothes today, and he looked very slender. The blue hair that suddenly fell down made his peach blossom eyes add a touch of color under the light.
Immediately after he touched his hair, he reached out to pick up the broken hairpin on the ground, his left eyelid suddenly jumped a few times, which caused Lu Lingchuan to frown, with a vague premonition in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Qin Hezhou asked with a strange look on his face.
Lu Lingchuan shook his head, "It's okay, it's just...the jade is broken."
"Sui Sui is safe, don't they all say that this Jade Sui can prevent disasters?" Qin Hezhou smiled at him, "Master, you don't have to worry, just buy another one."
In fact, Qin Hezhou has never believed in ghosts and gods. It is nonsense for him to talk about bad omens and good omens, but if it can relieve the other party's worries, he doesn't mind saying a few more words like this.
"Ah."
Maybe he was infected by the other party's smile, the haze of that moment just disappeared instantly, Lu Lingchuan bent his mouth and nodded towards him.
Seeing this, Qin Hezhou looked around in this noisy street, and finally his eyes fell on a shop selling all kinds of strange gadgets, and then he said to Lu Lingchuan: "Master, go and have a look?"
Lu Lingchuan nodded and said "OK", and the two walked over together.
Among the exquisite wood carvings and antiques, Qin Hezhou picked up a finely carved wooden hairpin, which still exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, looked at the boss and asked, "How do you sell this?"
The boss looked at him with a smile on his face: "Young man, you have vision." He suddenly paused at this point, his eyes became inquiring: "Is this for your sweetheart?"
Qin Hezhou coughed lightly, glanced at Lu Lingchuan whose long hair was still loose beside him, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing this, the boss immediately understood, and he said again: "It turns out that it was given to this young master. This young master looks familiar, as if he met him at the opening ceremony?"
Before Lu Lingchuan could respond, he smiled boldly, "Since this young master has eyesight, my carved wooden hairpin is not a valuable thing. Since you like it, I will give it to you."
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou thanked him, and then he and Lu Lingchuan came to a remote and uninhabited cliff.
The two found a place to sit down. There was a rugged rock wall behind them and a cliff in front of them. There were no exquisite lanterns here, only the stars and a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
The bright moonlight reflected half of Lu Lingchuan's Qingyue side face. His eyes drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a thick shadow under his eyes. The moonlight set off his hair like frost. The petals are like peach blossoms in March, while the other half of him is shrouded in darkness, adding a haze.
Qin Hezhou looked at his soft-looking hair, and suddenly walked up behind him playfully, and said, "Master, I will help you."
Then he stretched out his hand to caress the other's black hair, the cool touch was smoother than expected.
Lu Lingchuan felt that the other party's fingers were constantly shuttled between his hair, but he always lifted a few strands of hair and then put them down, and then repeated them again and again, it didn't look like he was trying to help him tie his hair. It looks like it's...playing.
But he just hooked the corner of his mouth, but he didn't stop it, and let the other party have enough.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Hezhou finally inserted the hairpin. His bun was completely crooked, and a few strands of hair were scattered in front of the other's forehead. He didn't look as well as the kids on the street, but Lu Lingchuan Touching the bun that was crooked to nowhere, the arc of the corner of the mouth continued to rise, and even the corners of the eyes were also curved.
"It seems crooked." Qin Hezhou stood in front of Lu Lingchuan, raised his head, and said carefully.
After that, he lowered his head, trying to observe the other person's expression.
But Lu Lingchuan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay."
Because Qin Hezhou lowered his head like this, the eyes of the two met directly. The smile still hanging on the corner of Lu Lingchuan's mouth seemed to be very close at hand. Only each other's figures remained in the pupils of the eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became charming.
There is a cool breeze blowing by the side, other than that there is silence, and there is an obvious scent of bluegrass in the air, which is both bewildering and alluring. Driven by this kind of atmosphere, an invisible primitive attraction drives The two gradually approached each other, and their lips were also slowly approaching, almost touching each other.
At this distance, Qin Hezhou could no longer distinguish his own breathing from the other's, as if they were all intertwined. At this moment, only the pink lips of the other party were left in his eyes...
The author has something to say: Chuan Chuan (angry): "Next time, tell me what's going on."
Qin Hezhou: "I see." Dare to do it next time.
