Frost Snow Gu Chunchuang

lend me one "

The blind Taoist was stunned: "My lord, there are many people who come to the temple to seek fortune and fate, but this is the first time for the poor Taoist to see someone who seeks bamboo."

Wei Zhenghang scratched his head, but fortunately the Taoist priest was very accommodating, so he asked someone to chop one over.Wei Zhenghang weighed it in his hand. The bamboo was old, moderately pliable, and had been smoked by the temple's incense for a long time, and it still carried a little sandalwood fragrance.

If it was made into a fan and Su Gu held it in his hand, it would be very suitable in comparison.

He was thinking in his heart, as if the blind Taoist priest had pierced his mind, he suddenly said: "Master Wei, the young master who came with you last time..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Wei Zhenghang felt that he had seen through him, and suddenly became nervous.

"It's nothing." The blind Taoist smiled slightly, "I just want to remind my lord that hexagrams are hard to keep, and cause and effect are reciprocal. I'm afraid that person is not a good karma for my lord."

The blind Taoist stroked his beard and didn't continue talking.Wei Zhenghang was taken aback when he heard this, and his heart couldn't stop sinking.

He thought of the mountain temple on the Three Realms Mountain, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked.

"Can Taoist priest know about the mountain temple in Three Realms Mountain?"

"Mountain temple? Is that the ruined temple on the mountain?" The Taoist shook his head. "I heard that it was destroyed two dynasties ago. As for the reason, I have no way of knowing now."

Wei Zhenghang frowned and thought for a while: "Then you've heard of Jiu Xiang?"

"Nine Phases..." The Taoist paused slightly as he stroked his beard, "Where did Master Wei hear this name?"

"Uh..." Wei Zhenghang intuited that he knew something, and prevaricated, "I just heard it."

The blind Taoist pondered for a moment: "When the poor Taoist heard about this name, he was still a child."

"It is said that these nine phases existed a hundred years ago. Most of them are legends left by folk ghosts, and they have been forgotten in recent years."

"There is an old book in the library of Chenghuang Temple, maybe there is something that adults want to read." The Taoist paused and said, "It's just that it will take some time to find this book. If adults want to know, I will tell you about it when I find it. ,how?"

Wei Zhenghang thanked him again and again, then remembered something, and asked cautiously: "Then in these legends, this Jiuxiang is a mountain god or something?"

"Mountain God?" The blind Taoist suffocated slightly, and then smiled with unknown meaning, "I'm afraid it's more appropriate to call it a mountain ghost."

Wei Zhenghang was stunned for a moment, he felt that the fog that was about to be cleared in front of him seemed to permeate again.

The evil ghosts in the mountains must not be tall and straight mountain gods.

He originally thought that the Nine Phases might have something to do with Su Gu, but now it seems that his thinking was too simple.

Wei Zhenghang walked out of the Town God's Temple holding Ah Yue with one hand and carrying the bamboo with the other.

Behind him, the candles in the Yuelao Temple were brightly lit, people's eyes were dizzy from the heat, and the blind Taoist added a few more oil lamps.

17. Night Visits to the Building of No Return

After returning home, Wei Zhenghang seriously started making fans.

When he was a child, he saw his father do it, and he only remembered a rough idea. He groped and scraped a few fan bones, and they were either too short or too thick.After finishing it like this, it will be seven days after the fan is finished.

On the plain white silk fan, Wei Zhenghang thought for a while, picked up a brush and drew a pear blossom, and carefully wrote the words "Shuangxue Gu Chunchuang" on the bottom, and then put the fan into the sandalwood box.

He sent someone to send invitations to Su Gu one day in advance, and a few broken tiles fell from the roof, presumably Ah Yue ran out again in the middle of the night.

That day when he was busy with political affairs, Zhao Liu saw him going out, and said casually, "Where will you sleep tonight, my lord?"

Wei Zhenghang was taken aback: "Isn't this the only room for me?"

Zhao Liu chuckled: "Didn't your lord invite Boss Su? I thought you were going to stay overnight..."

Wei Zhenghang blushed all of a sudden, but Zhao Liuqi said, "My lord and Boss Su hit it off right away, is it normal for brothers to stay overnight?"

"Normal..." Wei Zhenghang thought in his heart, he has ghosts in his heart, he is normal.

When Su Gu came, he found that Wei Zhenghang had chosen a private courtyard.

The yard is small and exquisite, and the garden is full of hollyhocks and hydrangeas blooming just right.There is a square table under the wooden octagonal pavilion in the middle. The table is not big, and several dishes are neatly arranged, exuding heat.

Wei Zhenghang sat on the side of the table, beckoning and smiling at him.

Su Gu hesitated, and just as he sat down, he saw Wei Zhenghang take out a sandalwood box, which contained a delicate bamboo fan.

"Last time...I lost it for you, and I always wanted to give you one." Wei Zhenghang scratched his head embarrassedly, Su Gu saw that there were many puncture marks on his hands, and couldn't help frowning: "Did you do it yourself? "

Wei Zhenghang blushed, and said awkwardly: "I... I'm not good at craftsmanship, if you don't like it, I'll buy another one for you later."

Su Gu unfolded his fan, and the plain white silk cloth lightly made a few traces, outlining the shape of the pear blossom.The pear blossoms are originally white, leaving only an inconspicuous outline on the fan surface, which cannot be seen casually, and blooms just right at a certain angle.

Su Gu lowered his head and smiled: "I like it very much."

Wei Zhenghang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."

He remembered something and jumped up suddenly: "Oh no, there is still soup cooking!"

As he spoke, he ran to the kitchen, and a bowl of soup came out after a while.

It was only then that Su Gu realized that this table was full of home-cooked dishes, and there were no servants in the other courtyard to serve them.Seeing that he found out, Wei Zhenghang smiled and said, "I've always wanted to thank you and treat you to an ordinary restaurant, but I always feel that you don't like anything."

"I thought it would be better to cook a table of dishes with my own hands to thank you. It is inconvenient in the Yamen, so I asked someone to borrow this place." Wei Zhenghang served him a bowl of soup, "Speaking of which, the former magistrate was really a wonderful person, and this courtyard I saw it in the handbook..."

Su Gu took the soup bowl, and his fingers touched the back of Wei Zhenghang's hand inadvertently. Wei Zhenghang's ears turned red instantly, and he pretended not to care and turned his head away: "Look, Su Gu, there are also hollyhocks here, just like the ones on the Three Realms Mountain."

Su Gu drank a bowl of soup, he likes the cold rather than the heat, and rarely drinks hot soup, but this time it seems to suit his appetite.

"Does Feng Ji like this yard?"

"I like it." Wei Zhenghang said in his heart, because he likes being in this yard with you.

Su Gu smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that he seemed to be in high spirits today, Wei Zhenghang ate a lot, which was rare, and the two chatted and ate until the moon was on the eaves before getting up and going back.

The two walked back along the long street, the moon above their heads was like frost, and the ground was covered with silver.

The sleeves of the two touched each other from time to time, Wei Zhenghang thought to himself, it would be great if they could go on like this forever.Looking up again, Su Gu was looking at him, he was half a head taller than Wei Zhenghang, at this moment his head was slightly lowered, his eyes were hidden in the shadows.

"Feng Ji, what did you want to tell me when you said you had walked out of the Three Realms Mountain last time?"

Wei Zhenghang was taken aback for a moment, thinking of that day, his heart beat suddenly.

Something seems to be blocked in the throat, and it seems that something is about to come out.

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, Su Gu's expression changed suddenly, and he pushed him against the wall.

Wei Zhenghang was taken aback by this sudden movement, and in the next second, a group of galloping horses roared past.The person in the front ran away for a long time and then turned back, saying hello to Wei Zhenghang: "My lord, Boss Su, are you busy?"

Wei Zhenghang saw that Zhao Liu was immediately followed by a yamen servant, so he said, "It's so late, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Liu got off his horse and said, "Your Excellency, I have news about the girl with scars all over the face. I'm leading someone there."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenghang immediately said, "I'll go too."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Gu: "Su Gu, you should go back first, this is a matter of the yamen, it is not good for you to take risks."

Su Gu shook his head and said, "I'll go with you."

What he said was undeniable, Wei Zhenghang thought that he was still with the yamen servant this time, so he didn't say anything more.

"Where is that place? Why did you go there at night?" Wei Zhenghang asked as he walked.

"Hey." Zhao Liu smiled ambiguously, "That place, it's only lively at night.",

It wasn't until Wei Zhenghang followed the others that he didn't return to the building that he understood why Zhao Liu smiled so obscenely.Although he came to Jiangzhou not long ago, this name is often seen in the account books of the tax treasury department every month.

If you don't return to the building, you don't know where to go. It's the place to listen to music and find joy.

Zhao Liu acted extremely fast, and had already asked someone to dismiss the guests.The entire Building of No Return was surrounded by guards, and Wei Zhenghang was about to go in, but was stopped by Su Gu.

"I always feel like there's a scam here."

Zhao Liu chuckled: "The surrounding area is surrounded by water, Boss Su doesn't have to be afraid."

Su Gu frowned and didn't say anything, Wei Zhenghang pulled him and said softly: "It's hard to find the trace, no matter what there is, I will always go up and meet her."

As he spoke, he followed Zhao Liu in, and Su Gu followed with a sigh.

The Building of No Return has three floors in total, and the interior is even more extravagant with carved beams and painted buildings.The old bustard was being interrogated by Zhao Liuti, and she couldn't speak well: "Your Excellency... You are joking, if the girl in our building has a scar on her face... how can she see people..."

Wei Zhenghang looked at a group of prostitutes whose faces turned pale with fright, and a few bold ones sneaked across the crowd and stared at Su Gu up and down.

Wei Zhenghang stood calmly in front of Su Gu, and said to the bustard: "All the girls are here?"

"It's all there." The old bustard laughed disorganized, "Your Majesty Wei, if you like it, just say it."

When the prostitute saw that the rumored Wei Qingtian was such a handsome young man, he couldn't help being bold: "Master Wei has been in Jiangzhou City for so long, and he hasn't visited Bugui Lou. If you come today, don't leave."

Wei Zhenghang was molested by her so much that he wanted to turn around and leave, and another person said: "Huh? Why do I always feel that there is one person missing?"

The old bustard suddenly turned pale, Zhao Liu counted the flower cards, and said in surprise: "Are you sure everyone is here? It's true that one is missing."
