The bright moon sits on the ground

When Fu Chonghong finally put his mind to rest and came to visit him, it was already three days later.

During this period, Nie Qiu wrote a letter to Zhang Shuangbi who was far away in Zhen'e. The letter briefly mentioned that he would go back to Shenyun Pavilion to pay homage to his teacher and fellow disciples in the next few days. If Zhang Shuangbi had time, he could come together Go to worship——after all, Zhang Shuangbi had already said this when he was in Zhen'e. No matter what the reason was, whether it was etiquette or favor, Nie Qiu should tell Zhang Shuangbi.

However, he also knew that Zhang Shuangbi probably wouldn't be able to come. Now that foreigners are rampant, he is eyeing Zhen'e City, which is at the border. Not to mention leaving Zhen'e.

Zhang Shuangbi has three children. The eldest son, Zhang Qi, has a chronic illness. The eldest daughter, Zhang Concubine, is married to the Jia family in the imperial city. The youngest daughter, Zhang Rui, is restless. He didn't know when he would be able to hand over the military power in his hands. Maybe he felt that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, so he was even more unwilling to hand it over to his children, which made him fall deeper and deeper.

If there is a spirit in the sky, Chang Deng and Wen Yunshui should be very happy to see Zhang Shuangbi, but unfortunately they still missed it this time.

Now that he has decided to go back to Shenyun Pavilion, Nie Qiu bought melons and fruits in advance when he was in Lihe Town. He didn't forget to buy desserts. He packed a colorful bag, and there was also agarwood that exudes a soft fragrance. The jerky aroma of melons and fruits, and the sweet and greasy aroma of freshly baked pastries overlap and blend together to form a more reassuring taste, long and lingering.

The devil's religion's carriage is quite big, and it's not obvious from the outside, but there is a hole in it inside. It is more than enough to accommodate Nie Qiu, Fang Qisheng, Xiao Xueyang, and Fu Chonghong, let alone Xiao Xueyang and Fu Chonghong. There were disciples from Baihumen waiting for him, and Xiao Xueyang didn't stay down the mountain for long, so he went back along the mountain path.

Nie Qiu did not forget to buy Xiao Xueyang a short knife to defend himself. Xiao Xueyang wanted to say something, such as "I don't know how to use it", or "I have other things to defend myself", but he still didn't say it. He took the knife obediently.

When it was time to set off, the three of them sat in the carriage and waited for Fu Chonghong to go back to get their bags.

In fact, Fu Chonghong should have nothing to take with her, but she didn't expect to leave so soon, she said hello and ran back, saying that she forgot to take her luggage, but she actually went to say goodbye to her seniors and repeat a few instructions.

Both Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng could see this little thought, but they didn't say it out loud. After all, it was justifiable.

Although Xiao Xueyang has a lively temperament, it is precisely because she studies medicine that she can endure loneliness, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable when Fu Chonghong is waiting. Leaning on a place, with his chin on the edge of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, swinging his legs, humming softly the songs he used to listen to when he was a child.

Maybe it was because the breeze was too warm, and she almost fell asleep while singing, her head sank bit by bit, and then she woke up with a start.

Seeing that she was really sleepy, Nie Qiu handed her a soft pillow, and Xiao Xueyang took the soft pillow, but instead of putting it behind her, she hugged her in her arms, bored, pressing lightly and heavily , leaving a small depression.

Fang Qisheng said: "I heard Dian Dan say that his master's temper is not good. He was a little worried at first, and he asked me a few times before. However, seeing you now, I think you two, master and apprentice People get along better than him for sure.”

Xiao Xueyang yawned, leaned sideways on the couch, and said, "Speaking of which, I owe this matter to Senior Brother Dian Dan. If it wasn't for his help, I wouldn't have been able to join the Shengyi Pavilion so easily. , I will write him a letter of thanks later, the pigeons of Shengyige have made several trips to the main helm, and should be able to deliver the letter to him.”

Nie Qiu naturally sat with Fang Qisheng, and when he heard that Fang Qisheng brought the topic to the Holy Medical Pavilion, he asked: "Xue Yang, you are going back to the Holy Medical Pavilion next time, do you have any plans after that?" ? Or did you just devote yourself to practicing in the Holy Medical Pavilion?"

"Actually, the master let me go down the mountain this time because there was nothing to do. The rules of the Holy Medical Pavilion are strict. Even when going out occasionally, the disciples of the same sect will go together. Most of them will do things like picking herbs. Next, at least I should stay in Shengyi Pavilion for most of the year." Xiao Xueyang said, "However, this is also my own choice, so I don't feel bored."

The main purpose of Nie Qiu asking this question is to confirm whether Xiao Xueyang was in the Shengyi Pavilion when the Kunlun Cave was opened.

The Kunlun Cave is open, the farther you are, the safer you will be. In the Holy Medical Pavilion, even if any accidents happen, you can turn around. He was worried that Xiao Xueyang would find such a cage-like life boring, and he was afraid that she would run away because of some conflicts. Just like how decisive she was when she left Xiao's house a few months ago, however, after hearing Xiao Xueyang's answer, the stone in Nie Qiu's heart finally fell to the ground.

Maybe girls at this age change every day, he thought.

Being able to run away from home because of chasing freedom, or abandoning freedom because of chasing ideals, willing to stay in Shengyi Pavilion, these twists and turns, Xiao Xueyang thinks very clearly, she doesn't need other people's advice, she can walk by herself calm.

"Okay." So Nie Qiu said with a smile, "I know you always have an idea, and now that you have decided, let's go all the way to the dark."

"Speaking of which," Xiao Xueyang looked at Nie Qiu, then at Fang Qisheng, suddenly a little shy, pinched one end of the soft pillow with his fingers, twisted the soft fabric into a knot, and said falteringly, "Before, Fu Baijue Didn’t he say a word, I thought about it over and over for several days, and felt that what he said and did absurd things had some truth, and it couldn’t be said to be a whim.”

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng looked at each other, not knowing what Xiao Xueyang was talking about, nor what she was going to say.

Facing their puzzled eyes, Xiao Xueyang put the soft pillow aside, rested his chin with the palm of his hand, and said, "Hey, it's just that he admires Brother Nie very much, logically speaking, shouldn't he want to spend more time with you?" Time, but Fu Baijue came quickly and left quickly, when he was about to leave, he also said that he hoped that he could be side by side with Brother Nie when we meet next time."

If it hadn't been stopped by Fang Qisheng, Fu Baijue would indeed have walked very quickly, without dragging his feet.

"At first, I only wanted to inherit my father's mantle, and I had been interested in it since I was a child, so I wanted to study medicine." She continued, "Now there is a new reason, and I don't want to. Being left far behind by Nie Ge and Master Fang, at least, I also imagine what Fu Baijue said, and hope that when I leave the Holy Medical Pavilion, I can already stand by your side."

Only then did Nie Qiu understand what Xiao Xueyang was thinking these days, and couldn't help touching the top of her head, her movements were gentle, without messing up her bun, and said slowly: "Then you and I will wait Looking forward to the day when you become famous all over the world."

Fang Qisheng folded his hands on his knees, squinted his eyes for a while, and waited for Nie Qiu to finish speaking before he opened his mouth: "As Nie Qiu said, since you have made a decision, I think we will make a decision in the near future. Let's meet again at the top."

"I'm not a child anymore, so just pull the hook." Xiao Xueyang said with a smile, shaking her little finger lightly, "However, being famous all over the world and reuniting at the top sounds good, and I will work hard towards this goal .”

Just as she was saying this, all the seats couldn't help but smile, a knock came from outside the carriage at the right time, it was Fu Chonghong who had arrived.

"Sorry." The carriage shook, and she came up panting, wiping the sweat on her chin casually with the back of her hand. There were not many things in her hand, and the only thing that stood out was the old iron sword, which was still carried by her. "I'm late, please wait..."

Fu Chonghong was full of apologies, but also nervous. Before she could say "so long", she realized that everyone in the carriage was laughing. The youngest daughter of the Xiao family smiled brightly. Pursing her lips and smiling slightly, the leader of the Devil's Cult had a smile in his eyes, and he didn't show any impatient look. Maybe we were discussing a happy topic just now, she thought.

She relaxed a little, closed her eyes and raised her arms, and respectfully saluted the three people in front of her with clasped fists. Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng were sitting together, and there was an empty seat next to Xiao Xueyang, so she naturally responded to Xiao Xueyang's call after saluting. past.

Fang Qisheng greeted: "Have you said goodbye to your senior brother?"

The bell on the top of the carriage moved with the wind, making a crisp sound, and the horseshoes clattered, and the road gradually moved backwards.

"Yes, I have already said goodbye to them." Because it took too much time to say goodbye, Fu Chonghong left in a hurry, and didn't know what to pack, so he took a break at this time and went to count things one by one What's in the bag.

Then, she gave a soft "hiss", as if she wanted to take a breath of air, but she swallowed it back forcefully.Seeing that Fu Chonghong was rarely at a loss, Nie Qiu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Xueyang got close, leaned over to take a look, grabbed Fu Chonghong's arm and said with a smile: "Is this Fu Baijue's thing?"

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng thought that Fu Chonghong had taken the wrong luggage at first, and when they were about to ask her if she wanted to go back and change it, Fu Chonghong took out the thing with a complicated face—it was like a rough puppet, and it was hard to tell. Although he had a clear face, he could clearly see that the puppet was smiling happily, with one eye open and the other closed, and his hands folded, as if he was thinking about something.

"This...actually..." Fu Chonghong sighed three times, wishing to let out her heart and lungs. She touched her nose and explained to the three people, "Bai Jue has been pestering me and asked me to give this puppet to you." Nie Hufa, um, because he said that kind of thing before, I don't think it's appropriate, so I didn't take the puppet, and I don't know when he put it in."

Declaring war on the lover of the object of worship, and then giving the object of worship a puppet made by himself, Fu Baijue is No. 1.

Maybe he didn't know the relationship between Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng, so he did it openly, like digging a wall in front of Fang Qisheng, Xiao Xueyang couldn't help laughing, the puppet's expression was agile, obviously like Fu Baijue.

what is this?Does it mean "although I declared war on the Demon Cult, but not against you"?

Nie Qiu glanced at Fang Qisheng almost subconsciously, the expression on Fang Qisheng's face remained the same, cold and indifferent, after feeling his gaze, Fang Qisheng also looked sideways, put his hands on his chest, and said, "You decide for yourself. "

With Fang Qisheng's current disposition, he should not be angry and jealous over such a trivial matter.Thinking this way, Nie Qiu raised his hand to take the puppet in Fu Chonghong's hand, which was similar to a hot potato. He actually thought a lot, and after a while, he remembered the way Fu Baijue looked at him with curious and friendly eyes through the crowd when they first met After a while, he remembered the declaration of war that Fu Baijue said through gritted teeth. Nie Qiu was not sure what Fu Baijue meant, but he knew that this was not a trap, and it was even close to self-inflicted.

Then he keenly felt that Fang Qisheng's gaze gradually turned cold, and the preconceptions in his mind disappeared, replaced by what Qisheng said sarcastically after seeing the jade pendant that Tan Rongchong gave him a few months ago, "Oh, he gave it to you." of".

Whether it was before or after, isn't the leader of the Demon Cult still eating this kind of flying vinegar?

Nie Qiu paused, then changed hands and put the puppet into Fang Qisheng's hands. Facing Fu Chonghong's slightly surprised gaze, he rubbed Fang Qisheng's palm lightly with his fingers, then retracted his sleeve, and said, "Actually, we It's that kind of relationship."

For a moment, Fu Chonghong felt murderous towards Fu Baijue. The atmosphere in the carriage was so embarrassing that she couldn't breathe. She watched the Demon Cult leader take over the puppet and put it away. Her lips trembled, and she could only say "ah" dryly. With a sound.

At this time, Fu Baijue, who was far away in the thatched cottage, sneezed, and there was a thunderous sound, which made Yang Cheng stare at him in shock, and then Fu Baijue rubbed his nose and nestled aside, completely unaware of how much trouble he had brought to his senior sister. Confused, Fu Chonghong was originally not good at words, so she was even more guilty, and she didn't say a word on the road afterwards.
