White-haired Demon Lord and Senior Brother

◎Changed a small setting◎

On this day, it was a cloudless and sunny day, and the sky was as blue as a bright mirror. Qingluan City was full of excitement. From Siwu Building to Shenque Terrace, festive red paper lanterns were hung up, and gardens everywhere There are also lanterns on both sides of the wide path, and rows of bamboo poles are hung with red paper lanterns, which seem to be owed only to the night and the lamplighters.

The colorful phoenix tail flags are placed next to the lanterns, stretching slowly in the wind, and the Qingluan Shrine, which is located in the water Lingzhu, is full of flowers no matter outside the gate or in the courtyard, and there are also flower arrangements in bamboo tubes everywhere in the altar. It seems to stand in the sea of ​​flowers.

After the time of Chen, a wide path from Siwu to Qingluan Shrine was opened. No matter who it is, no one needs a waist card to pass on this festival day. Therefore, on this street, people from every floor gathered early in the morning There was a lot of noise among the disciples, a huge float carrying the qin and drum performance team was pulled by twenty horses and moved forward slowly, heading for Qingluan Shrine.

In front of the guardrail of the high-rise building, a seductive and fairy-like man wearing an orchid-patterned snow-bottom cross-collar gown, a red wide-sleeved gown, and a light-gray belt with orchid patterns leaning on his waist calmly, let the breeze blow the soft and elegant Silver-white hair strands, silver-gray eyes just casually glanced at the bustling scenery below.

After a while, Zhu Yanfeng, dressed in a tea-and-white cross-collared gown with dark patterns of Baoxiang, a light brown wide-sleeved gown, and a gold-free leather belt, walked through the crowd, carrying two jars of wine in one hand, and Carrying two wrapped paper bags in his pocket, he saw a tall and thin figure wearing his red wide-sleeved shirt from a distance, so he walked straight towards him, came to his side, and said to him: "It's rare to grab a man." On to the delicious barbecue and wine.”

Looking back, Huang Yan saw Zhu Yanfeng returning to his side, and saw that he was holding delicious food in his hand, so he showed joy and took the initiative to take a jar of wine and a paper bag. The moment he held the paper bag in his palm, he felt A wave of warmth penetrated the palm, and a little bit of sesame oil overflowed from the surface of the paper bag, and the faint smell of roasting and sesame oil floated in the air.

Smelling the paper bag, Huang Yan guessed what kind of barbecue it was, but the jar of wine was unopened, so he didn't know what kind of wine it was, so he asked, "What wine did you bring back?"

Zhu Yanfeng replied bluntly: "Osmanthus osmanthus flower and bayberry wine." But he regretted: "I originally wanted to bring five jars, but it seems that everyone wants to drink in today's Qingluan Festival, and the supply exceeds the demand. Only one jar per person."

Huang Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "It's not free wine and meat, one serving per person is also very good."

Zhu Yanfeng also leaned against the guardrail and looked at the path below, but Huang Yan turned his head to the side, and his eyes fell on him, looking at him quietly for a moment.

After leaving the Imperial College, Zhu Yanfeng retired from his Confucianist attire and returned to his former chic and chivalrous spirit.Tired of looking at the scenery on this street, he said to Huang Yan: "Would you like to go to another place to have a look?"

Huang Yan also wanted to take a walk elsewhere, so he nodded happily, and responded with a "hmm", and then the two of them held hands gently and walked through the corridor full of people, through the connecting terrace and The aerial arch bridge on the terrace has gone elsewhere.

Just as dusk fell, the red paper lanterns placed everywhere were lit one by one, starting from the Qingluan Shrine, as if throwing a fishing net.Dim lights, illuminating the bustling crowd, this is the real beginning of the ceremony, and that night, Suyue was huge and the stars were shining, it seemed that the heavens sensed the breath of the divine bird and made this arrangement.

The priests of Shuilingzhu gathered in the huge shrine, and the highest priest presided over the ceremony.The city lord and everyone from Xiangxuanzhu entered the altar and sat on the ground. In front of each of them was a black porcelain bowl with pentagrams inlaid with countless blue and black stars. The priest in white robe slowly scooped it into the bowl with a bamboo tube Adding spring water, the light dances in the bowl, and becomes a bright mirror with the spring water, illuminating the pentagram algae well above the head.

Different from the bustling path, Qingluan Shrine was extremely quiet, and everyone's faces were calm, because the ritual ceremony needed to be baptized in a quiet atmosphere.After the highest priest finished reading the petition, and the middle priests wore copper bells on their wrists and danced with green luan folding fans in their hands, the priests presented dry and flat sycamore leaves to the city lord and everyone in Xiangxuanzhu.

Everyone wrote a symbol of auspiciousness on the sycamore leaf, took a sip of spring water from the porcelain bowl, and then handed the sycamore leaf and porcelain bowl to the priest. The ceremony was over, and everyone left Qingluan Shrine one by one.

Huang Yan turned back while walking, and saw the priests pouring sycamore leaves into the pentagram fire pit in front of the huge Qingluan stone statue to burn, and sighed in his heart that he hadn't seen this scene for many years, and the moment he was about to look away, he happened to meet Su Zhongming, who was curious about this scene and just turned around, caught his gaze.

Su Zhongming responded to his gaze with a very polite smile, but it made him very upset. With a cold snort on his lips, he gently took Zhu Yanfeng's hand, followed Zhu Yanfeng's pace and walked straight forward without looking back.

Zhu Yanfeng turned his head to Huang Yan and said, "It seems to be still early, why don't you just take a walk?"

Huang Yan flatly refused: "I don't want to go."

Zhu Yanfeng added: "On the night of the big ceremony, there will naturally be a little more people."

Huang Yan replied: "That's why I don't want to go."

Zhu Yanfeng added: "There will be impromptu singing, dancing and performances on the road."

Huang Yan only said: "Let's go."

Zhu Yanfeng was curious: "Where are you going?"

Huang Yan replied: "Go back and get the piano."

Zhu Yanfeng smiled, and walked forward with him quickly, but on the wide path, the light of the stone lanterns was shining with figures, the sound of tambourines and cowbells came from a distance, and sometimes the sound of pipa and The sound of the flute is like a fighting game, and the men who are good at dancing follow the music and dance the Nuo dance generously, turning around lightly and non-stop.

Huang Yan hugged the guqin and walked along the path with few people, Zhu Yanfeng followed behind him, suddenly a paper crane flew over, Zhu Yanfeng reached out to catch it first, and looked at the paper that the paper crane turned into paper in his hand.

Huang Yan turned around and asked, "Is it Master's summons?"

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "Master told us to go to the banquet hall." He walked ahead and brought Huang Yan to a very elegant house, and entered the house.

At this time, the banquet hall was almost full, except for Su Zhongming and the elders of the elders' pavilion, there were also the heads of Xiangxuanzhu's courtyards and the heads of Shuilingzhu's Five Elements Province.

Zhu Yanfeng and Huang Yangang stepped into the banquet hall and walked in the aisle. The original conversation and laughter stopped abruptly, and many eyes were cast on the two of them, but the two of them quietly bypassed the partition and walked towards the table where Su Zhongming and the elders were sitting. .Su Zhongming immediately raised his eyes and saw the two of them coming, so he said reassuringly: "Everyone is here, we can start the banquet."

Huang Yanchao greeted Qing and said, "Master, I brought my qin here."

Seeing the rare Guqin in his arms, Yingqing smiled kindly, and said to Su Zhongming and the other elders: "I haven't heard my lover play the qin for several years!"

Su Zhongming replied: "Huh? It's the first time I heard that Wuji can play the piano. ... This piano seems to be quite expensive."

Zhu Yanfeng informed: "What the city lord said is that this piano is priceless."

Su Zhongming was stunned on the spot, and opened his lips: "Wuji, how many years of money have you saved to buy a violin worth a whole city..."

Master Yaoguang couldn't help opening his lips: "This piano seems to be the only thing he took with him when he left Qingluan City."

Yingqing generously informed: "Exactly! This piano is a relic of his biological mother!"

When Su Zhongming heard it, his eyes widened, and at the same time he suddenly remembered, and said to Huang Yan: "Such a precious relic...I didn't expect you to come from a wealthy family. I don't seem to know your life experience."

Huang Yan replied flatly: "I don't want to promote my family's status, so why ask too many questions."

Just as Su Zhongming was about to say something again, Huang Yan opened his lips first, and only said to Yingqing: "Master said he wants to listen to me play the piano, so I'll go and sit there first." After saying that, Yingqing agreed and walked behind the screen , Zhu Yanfeng also followed.

Huang Yan put the Guqin lightly on the table, sat down, looked up and saw Zhu Yanfeng coming, raised the corners of his lips, and asked, "Shouldn't you be by Master's side?"

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "I want to play with you."

These words made Huang Yan very happy, and he smiled with a small dimple inadvertently, and replied: "It's really rare for you to take the initiative, but if you think about it, a few quarters of an hour is enough for that kid surnamed Su to eat up all the delicious food." gone."

Zhu Yanfeng simply said: "It's a big deal, I'll cook noodles for you when I get back."

Huang Yan replied: "Then I will wait for you to fulfill your promise." Without further words, he pressed his fingertips on the strings, and colorless ripples bounced from between the strings and fingertips, turning into a melodious sound. Music.

Zhu Yanfeng looked at him, and imitated him to use the flute, picked up his melody, and played with him.This song is very long, and the fine water flows endlessly without sleep, as if it will flow for a whole night.

On the path illuminated by the stone lantern, Huang Yan was still walking slowly with his guqin in his arms. Zhu Yanfeng followed closely behind him and said to him, "I didn't expect the city lord to keep so many delicious things."

Huang Yan was a little displeased and said: "Who wants his generosity, it ruined my plan."

Zhu Yanfeng comforted: "Is the noodles I cook so delicious? You must eat the noodles I cook tonight? Well, the food tonight is very delicious, and you just happen to like a lot of it."

Huang Yan said willfully, "I don't care."

Zhu Yanfeng gently hugged Huang Yan with one hand, and continued to comfort him: "I'll cook it for you tomorrow morning, it's too late now."

Huang Yan looked sideways at Zhu Yanfeng, and said seriously: "It's settled, tomorrow morning! Don't run away! I want to see you tomorrow morning, and your cooked noodles!"

Zhu Yanfeng agreed: "I won't run away, I will go to Jinyun Building to meet you."

Huang Yan's mood improved, he glanced at Zhu Yanfeng, moved his face closer, and placed a light kiss on his lips.

The night was fleeting, and the darkness was swallowed by the light. As soon as Huang Yan opened his eyes, he immediately remembered what Zhu Yanfeng had promised, and immediately propped up his upper body, but before he even got to the bed, he smelled the aroma of food, and was even more anxious to get to the bed. He ran out with both feet, and stopped when he saw a familiar figure in his eyes.

Zhu Yanfeng turned around and said with a smile: "You got up so quickly?" His eyes sank, seeing that he was not wearing socks and shoes, he didn't say anything, just walked up to him, picked him up sideways, and sent him to bed In front of the couch, he gently placed him on the edge of the couch, and squatted down halfway, to put on socks and shoes for him.

Gently holding his snow-white feet with one hand, Zhu Yanfeng suddenly couldn't bear to let go, and looked up at Huang Yan.Huang Yan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, also met Zhu Yanfeng's gaze, and asked curiously, "Is there something on my feet, or something on my face?"

Zhu Yanfeng opened his lips and replied: "I'm just a little lost." He immediately put on socks and shoes for him.

Huang Yan said: "Are you regretting not staying here last night?"

Zhu Yanfeng stood up, gently pulled Huang Yan up, put his cross-collar robe on his shoulders, and gently took out his long hair from the inside of the cross-collar robe, persuading: "I promise For you, I cooked a bowl of noodles for you, but you have to eat it quickly, otherwise it will lose its taste if it gets mushy."

Huang Yan immediately washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and then came to the table, hooked a piece of messy temple hair on the ear, picked up the chopsticks, and began to taste a mouthful of noodles.Zhu Yanfeng had already had breakfast, and now he was just sitting at the table, quietly watching him eat the noodles. After he finished eating a bowl of noodles, drank a few sips of noodle soup, and wiped his mouth lightly, he picked up the comb, stood behind him, and combed the noodles. his locks.

Smoothly passing between the teeth of the comb, it was always snow-white long hair, Zhu Yanfeng was careful not to break it, even if it was just a very thin strand.Huang Yan kept looking at the clear and bright bronze mirror, only looking at Zhu Yanfeng in the mirror.
