Chapter 39 Peach Talisman

Gu Wangshu slept in a daze for an unknown amount of time, until he was pierced by a sudden headache, stabbing to death, and finally opened his eyes.The room was covered tightly with black paper, and I couldn't see when it was bright or dark, but I was a little dizzy from too much sleep.

Sitting up and rubbing his temples, suddenly a burst of rice smell wafted into his nose.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten anything all day, and he vomited up all the midnight snacks he ate last night, and now his stomach was empty and still aching.Turning his eyes to the table, it turned out to be a bowl of steaming lean meat porridge, and on the side dish were three pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, pink and yellow, with a dried sweet-scented osmanthus flower on top for decoration.

Osmanthus cake is hard to find this season, and I don't know where I found it.

Gu Wangshu pursed his mouth, got out of bed, picked up a spoon and put a mouthful of porridge into his mouth.The heat of the porridge is just right, neither too hot nor too cold, just right for the taste, and the lean meat is stewed soft and delicious, and it is not obtrusive in the plump and crystal-clear rice that melts in the mouth.The skinny hands flicked the dried flowers off the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, pinched them together and put them in the mouth, the fragrance of the flowers immediately entered the mouth and filled the nasal cavity, very fresh.It was eaten up by this hungry man in a short while.

Gu Wangshu wiped his mouth, got up and opened the door to see what time it was outside.Just as the door closed a gap, a large expanse of golden light from the setting sun streamed into the room in an instant. It was as warm and warm as mellow wine, and it was not dazzling. It was the splendor that he could just cover his sleeves to look at.

The sunset is picturesque, and the breeze is intoxicating.Dan-colored clouds swim freely in the sea of ​​clouds, with sparkling waves, leaving a swan song of thick ink and light color on the clean as new roof tiles. The osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard is decorated with several feet of red silk, and the fiery red flowers hang down. Tassels and Danxia complement each other, and the wooden sign with the word "Fu" swings and sways in the breeze, and makes a soothing sound when it hits the branches.

There was a rustling sound, and Gu Wangshu turned around to see that Ai Ye was squatting on the wall and hanging red lanterns on both sides of the gate.Danxia reflected his whole body into a warm red, as if hearing the noise, Ai Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head against the light and smiled at him, it turned out to be such a hearty and clear youthful look.

Not only the osmanthus tree in the center, but even the walls around the courtyard were covered with red silk and wooden plaques with blessing characters, and there were also some small blessing charms, which made Gu Wangshu feel a little dazed.In previous years, Guanli would also routinely send these things here, but every Spring Festival he was the only one to spend, and when he looked at the yard alone, he didn't have the heart to do these things.

Just think of it as a day of general cleaning, hang up the peach charms after cleaning, and call it a day if you can deal with it. How can there be such an opportunity to be personally on the scene and see the whole courtyard flourish.

It really has a taste of the Chinese New Year.

"You're awake!" Ai Ye tied the rope and jumped down from the fence. His gray robe was covered with dust, and he didn't know how to pat it. He also smirked at Gu Wangshu indifferently, pointing to the red silk in the courtyard. , said: "I was afraid that you would be angry again like last time and didn't want to see me, so I didn't go in to accompany you, but came out to do something, it's quite interesting!"

Gu Wangshu beckoned him to come over, and Ai Ye immediately ran over like an obedient puppy, wagging his invisible tail, and raised his hands at his sides, for fear that the dust on it would rub against Gu Wangshu again. body.

Gu Wangshu raised his hand to remove a stalk of dry grass from his forehead, and straightened his hair again. Looking around the yard, he asked, "Have you dressed up these things before? How come you look so skillful."

Ai Ye's eyes were as bright as falling into the sky full of stars, she smiled a little shyly, and said: "How could I have done this before, and I have never been to a festival in the world. Run more places and see how others do it If you don’t know it! How about it, is my technique of taking pictures of cats and tigers okay?”

Gu Wangshu nodded in agreement.

"By the way, the porridge I prepared for you is edible? Thanks to you waking up in time, otherwise I won't be embarrassed when the porridge is cold."

Speaking of this, Gu Wangshu remembered to ask, the quality and taste of the porridge and sweet-scented osmanthus cake are definitely not what Guanli Kitchen can make, so he was a little surprised, so he asked:

"It's delicious, where did you get it?"

"In the town at the bottom of the mountain? Haven't we been there before!" Ai Ye smiled innocently like a child, seeing Gu Wangshu's expression froze in surprise, she quickly waved her hands and said, "You don't need to thank me, my legs and feet are much more agile than you imagined. I ran this trip very quickly, and it is right to apologize, after all, you were so shocked because of me in the morning, oh, by the way, you..."

Ai Ye wanted to ask him why he had such a big reaction to an ordinary sandalwood, but then thought that with Gu Wangshu's temperament, such a strong and face-saving person, he had to ask him about his weakness, wouldn't he? The big taboo of offending others, he cut off the conversation early and changed his words: "Are you okay now?"

"I'm fine." Gu Wangshu replied lightly. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier, it's too hard to do so much work alone."

"Oh, Mr. Gu, how dare I call you?" Ai Ye took a half step back and joked:

"During the day, I look like I'm going to peel my skin, eat my flesh and drink my blood. I almost can't tell which of us is a demon and who is a human. It's more important to save our lives. If you are tired, you must be tired!"

After Ai Ye finished speaking, she tilted her head, raised her chin with a smile on her face, and said, "I've done all your work right now, and I can still please you. Seeing how satisfied you are now, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Gu Wangshu laughed hoarsely, rubbed the fur on the top of his head with pulsating eyes, and then casually pushed him back, "Dengtuzi, what kind of calculations are in his mind."

Ai Ye chased after him, keeping only a few inches away, ensuring that she would not bump into him and get annoyed by him, but also didn't want to stay too far away. She puffed her cheeks and waited for his praise, but she didn't get what she wanted for a long time, and she was quite disappointed. Complained: "This is the end? You are not angry with me anymore, why don't you praise me anymore, look at the yard, I have been busy all day!"

As soon as Gu Wangshu stopped, Ai Ye also stopped. Just when he thought he could say something, suddenly a wine jug flew towards him, and he fell into his arms to catch it.While wondering, Gu Wangshu said:

"Fast on your feet, go make a pot of wine for me, a good man will do his best to the end."

Ai Ye held the jug in place for a long time, blinked a few times, and immediately became unhappy and said angrily: "You know how to order me all the time! Why don't you ask someone else to go!"

"But there's no one else here?" Gu Wangshu turned around and spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, and said:

"Aren't you the only one I have?"

***

Gu Wangshu has nothing to do these days, repairing the surface of his umbrella at home.The white umbrella that never leaves his body is not only a sunshade for him, but also hides hidden weapons and magic weapons inside. It is also because he has been pondering and researching for more than 20 years that he has perfected it into what it is today.Although the ribs of this umbrella look like ordinary wood, they are actually buried in black iron, which is very heavy.The outside is painted in lacquer, so it doesn't look so menacing and scary.The ribs of the umbrella are strong, but the umbrella surface is inevitably made too much. No matter what material it is, it will be damaged to some extent after a period of time. Repairing the umbrella surface has become a routine for him.

At the moment, he is concentrating on fiddling by candlelight.The warm candle flickered, illuminating the mass of the dimly lit room, and also illuminating the person huddled cross-legged in a corner alone.For Gu Wangshu, sometimes candles are not just a tool for lighting, but more like his eyes.In this room where sunrise and sunset are never distinguishable, day and night, he seems to have spent his whole life with this candlelight. Every inch of sunlight is a luxury, and only this warm and warm candlelight belongs to him.

Gu Wangshu straightened the umbrella surface and finally applied a layer of oil. He leaned on the ground with a sigh of relief, looked at the closed umbrella for a while, and pulled out a thin silver sword from the handle of the umbrella as if thinking of something.This slender silver sword is delicate and sharp, neither soft nor hard, light and easy to hold in the hand, and the word "Gui Po" is engraved in small script on it.

The sky is open and the soul is clear.Probably the person who made this magic weapon at the beginning hoped that the person who held it could use it to drive away evil spirits and restore the world to the world, but he turned it into a tool to hurt people.

So what, if you can't protect yourself, how can you protect the common people?It's all old and corrupt scriptures.He was bullied since he was a child, and later he learned the swordsmanship of other sects by chance. In addition, he has mastered the art of swordsmanship, and he is very talented. The way of moving the sword is unpredictable, and no one can crack him. I can protect myself.

At that time, Gu Wangshu, at the age of 15, defeated most of the disciples in Guanli with a single blow.Although no one's life was hurt, everyone was beaten up by him until their noses were bruised, their faces were swollen and their faces were covered with scars. The medical center in Guanli was overcrowded for a while, and there were constant groans and curses. In the end, they were beaten by the master with more than a dozen whips and thrown into the Siguo room. Closed for several months.Who would have thought that he would be so idle there every day, that he would have nothing to do except sleep and practice swordsmanship, but after he was released, he became even more proficient. Since then, no one dared to provoke and bully him, and everyone saw him instead. He, it's a good day to go around.

Gu Wangshu's fiery temperament is completely opposite to his own stern and refined face. Once a person who has been suppressed for a long time gets a release, he will definitely dislike everyone. Anyone who sees him can think of the trivial things that offended him before. .At that time, his eyes were red, and he even remembered that his junior brother Gu Qingchi only pleaded for Gu Changqing when he quarreled with Gu Changqing last time, and beat up his innocent junior brother without saying a word, and replaced him. What happened was that Gu Changqing jumped from the roof and kicked him, almost sending him to see Qin Guangwang, the chief supervisor of hell.

After that, Gu Qingchi was afraid of him, and he didn't dare to provoke Gu Qingchi, for fear that Gu Changqing would come and kick him to death again.

The son of a bitch Gu Changqing.He is also a junior, how can he love and protect Gu Qingchi so much, and he treats himself like an enemy in the previous life, wishing to unload it into eight pieces and throw it out to feed the dogs!

Gu Wangshu didn't know what was the difference between him and Gu Qingchi, yes, he had a bad temper and was withdrawn, but who caused that?It's not that Gu Changqing has never saved him from childhood to adulthood, and even added fuel to the sidelines and loves to ignore him, thinking about how to kill himself all day long, so that he grows up so big that he doesn't even have a trustworthy person...

It suddenly occurred to him at this moment, didn't Gu Qingchi ask someone to bring something to him the day before yesterday?

There were so many things that happened that day that they had long been forgotten.That big fool Gu Qingchi doesn't know how to find someone to remind him, is it possible that he is still afraid of himself after being such an adult?

I was a little angry when I was a teenager, but I'm not a lunatic who beats up whenever I see anyone...

Gu Wangshu got up from the ground, put away the sword, straightened his appearance hastily and opened the door, but a gust of wind blew outside, and it took a lot of trouble to push the door.Looking up at the sky, the sky was covered by dry clouds, the clouds were heavy, and it was as dark as the evening. It should snow heavily in a short while.

The day before yesterday was still sunny, and sure enough, the weather in winter is unpredictable.Gu Wangshu was blown cold by the wind, so he wrapped his jacket tightly and went out against the wind.

"Where are you going, little monster, didn't you see that it's going to snow today?"

The unappetizing voice sounded from the top of his head again.Gu Wangshu looked up and saw that Ai Ye was squatting on the tree, squinting her eyes and smelling the wind, her hair was all loose, flying wildly and beautifully.

……nice?

Gu Wangshu hurriedly pulled back this unlucky thought, the wind was loud, and the voice of the people yelled back at him weakly: "It's you, what the hell are you doing sitting on the tree?"

"I'll blow the air!" Ai Ye jumped down, brushed off the leaves on her body, and smiled. "It's been a long time since I left home, but the cold north wind hasn't blown again, I feel a little nostalgic."

Yao Rarely talked about things in his hometown, but he didn't see a bit of nostalgia on his expression, but he was only very interested in Dafeng.Gu Wangshu nodded, felt uncomfortable blowing, put his hands into his sleeves and shrunk his neck, said: "I went to Qingchi, you blow it at home, have a good time."

"Then I'll go too!" Ai Ye jumped a few steps and followed him, giggling, "I'm idle anyway."

"No, I'm going to discuss with him, why are you following me, stumbling." Gu Wangshu glanced at him, his tone was colder than the wind.

"You are my guardian, don't look down on me. It's nothing to leave me alone." Ai Ye snorted.

Gu Wangshu knew very well that he couldn't hold him back, such a trivial matter would not be enough to beat him up and tie him up in the room, and not saying a word was considered tacit consent, but he ignored him and walked on.The cold wind made him freeze his hands and feet, and he didn't have the heart to talk about it.

Gu Wangshu and Ai Ye walked side by side, one was dressed in black with a white umbrella, and her jade eyelashes were frosted; the other was dressed in white snow, with silver hair like a waterfall.

When Ai Ye came to winter, her robe became whiter than before.Gu Wangshu didn't know if it was his own illusion or what, but he always felt that this demon would change color, or it might be because the sky was too dark to reflect it.

Gu Wangshu didn't move around very often during the day, not to mention that he came out with Ai Ye this time, meeting someone in the temple would inevitably cause the disciples along the way to look sideways.When the younger disciples saw him, they all respectfully and resentfully stood on both sides to salute, and took the initiative to make way.

After all, of these two, one is not easy to provoke, and the other dare not.

The cold wind raged very hard, and after a while, there was a heavy snowfall as expected.The wind and snow made Gu Wangshu walk hard, no matter how hard he clamped his jacket, it was inevitable that the wind would seep in, and his mouth could not help grinning and hissing in the cold.Ai Ye knew that Gu Wangshu was afraid of the cold, and heard him hissing softly, so she took off the cloak wrapped around her body with animal fleece and put it on for the people around her.

Gu Wangshu didn't dodge either, and wrapped himself up happily.The cloak held the heat of Ai Ye's body temperature, which was very comfortable. I didn't forget to squint at Ai Ye and said:

"Rough skin and thick flesh are also good."

When Ai Ye heard this, she was not happy.

"Hey, little monster, what do you mean? I'm so thick! It's just that I'm not afraid of the cold. Well, return the cloak to me, and you'd better freeze to death!"

After Ai Ye finished speaking, he ran a few steps and stretched out his hand to grab the cloak, Gu Wangshu raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smirk.With his fingertips, he quickly pinched out a fixed-character formula and stuck it on Ai Ye's toes. Seeing his footsteps scrambling on the ground, he swung his sleeves—turned his head and ran.

"No, how can someone go back and pick it out after feeding a piece of candy to someone? If you have the ability, you can pick it out of me yourself?"

Ai Ye was in the back, but he was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, relying on himself to endure and pamper him all day long, getting better and better, isn't he making fun of himself?He lowered his head and glanced at the low-level formulas on his toes, rolled his eyes and looked down on "everything", twisted his ankles and took half a step forward, shouting at him loudly:

"Gu Wangshu, wait for me! I'm going to strip you naked right now, and put you in the snow to suffer from the cold!"

As soon as the last frozen word was uttered, Ai Ye suddenly realized that he seemed to be impulsive, and his mind was hot, and he said what was in his heart about something bad.

Gu Wangshu stopped suddenly, and turned around with an unbelievable expression: ...!

Ai Ye stood on the spot, and slowly put his hands behind his head in embarrassment: ... Hey.

The lowered eyes of the passer-by disciples standing blankly on both sides of the road suddenly lit up: ...?

The north wind whipped up large snowflakes, which swirled like cotton wool and fell in front of everyone.

There was a moment of silence.

"Ah? I'm going to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, let's go together?"

"I heard that there is spicy tofu for lunch today, and it will be snatched away before I leave!"

"Hey, why is it snowing, I suddenly remembered that my clothes have not been confiscated, you go first and I will collect some clothes."

"Where is my book? Oh, I didn't bring the book, I have to go back and look for it!"

"Go go go go go..."

The little disciples were like a group of flies that had seen someone, and instantly dispersed with a buzzing sound!

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, their second senior brother, Han Chuan Lingyue, who is difficult to get along with, has become familiar with the demon who lives with him to this level?This kind of joke can be made in public, if it is really practiced...

Ai Ye reluctantly opened her mouth and shrugged her shoulders in shame, screaming in her heart that it was not good, seeing Gu Wangshu's hand holding the umbrella clenched tightly, the veins were exposed, and it rattled with force.

Wouldn't it be to draw a sword?Come on, it's not good to make fists, it's such a good snow day, it's so disappointing to see Hong, isn't it...

Gu Wangshu closed his eyes and raised his head to suppress a deep breath, then squeezed out the words through his teeth tremblingly:

"come here……"

"It's okay, it's fine for me to stand here, it's fine, I don't want to bother you." Ai Ye took a half step back as if she was trying to survive, and waved her hands again and again with an awkward smile.

"I asked you to come over..."

Ai Ye was in a dilemma, in a dilemma, and when he was struggling, a gentle and elegant voice behind him broke the embarrassing situation.

"Brother, it's rare to see you so happy?"

The two turned their heads to look at the same time...

Um.Unbreakable, even more embarrassing.

Gu Qingchi didn't know when he was standing behind this group of people, his face was still full of breeze, Yujie smiled with crescent moons and looked at them with interest.

The difference is that there is a man beside him.

Gu Wangshu stopped talking in astonishment, his eyes froze suddenly, and he sank into the bottomless quagmire, bitter and dark.Ai Ye could see the change clearly in front of him, so he also turned around curiously to look at the person.

Although the man seemed to have passed his thirties, he was tall and tall, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament.It seems that just standing like this has an unstoppable heroic arrogance, exuding the steady and powerful atmosphere of a mature man.

He was wearing a round-neck robe with dark blue dark patterns, tied with a leather scorpion, and a long sword with a sheath with exquisite carvings hung on his waist.

Just by looking at the fine scabbard of the long sword, one can imagine the shining silver light when the sword is drawn out of the sheath, and hear the creepy clanging sound, but the decoration does not look like some imperial aristocrat. It is inevitable that there will be some arrogance.

This man was born with sword eyebrows and star eyes, with a dignified appearance, as if the years had not carved any traces on his face, but everything had settled into an aura.Ai Ye sucked in a breath of cold air, inexplicably felt a strange taste rising from her lower abdomen to her heart.

Simply put, this man is really attractive and handsome.

The man folded his arms in front of his chest, looked at the two with burning eyes, with a smile that was not a smile.

"Senior Brother, look quickly, who is coming to see you! I don't know if Senior Brother recognizes you..."

Gu Wangshu looked over and saw the man standing in the wind and snow, the cold and bitterness did not invade, the corners of his clothes were billowing, and he was full of atmosphere.

His eyes sank.

How could it not be recognized.

ten years.Ten years have passed.

Some memories, some people, I thought I had forgotten it a long time ago, it doesn't matter, forget it.In fact, it is just buried deep and rooted.

Once awakened again, the coiled roots will grow mercilessly, endlessly, piercing a gap in the flesh and blood, riddled with holes, never stopping, let alone death.

Shadow Gate Sword Faction Su Dongheng.

How could he not recognize it.

Ai Ye effortlessly broke free from the body-fixing formula that was hindering her pace, ran to Gu Wangshu's side in two steps and asked, "Who? Do you know him?"

Who?

You ask me who is he?

How to answer.Said it was his first friend in life?Or another tutor?

or...

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he only said "old acquaintance".

When the man saw Gu Wangshu, his deep brows and eyes were full of joy, he laughed heartily and strode over, and even put his hand on top of his head and rubbed it.

He is very tall and fit, taller than Gu Wangshu by more than half a head, so his posture looks natural.

Only Ai Ye stood beside her, her face full of shock.

He, Gu Wangshu, was patted on the head!

return!without!hide!

I have never touched it! ! !

"Yo, little Ashu, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I've grown so tall in a flash, I almost compare you to Brother Heng."

Su Dongheng leaned over slightly, carefully looked at Gu Wangshu's eyebrows and eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Gu Wangshu squinted his eyes, expressionless, didn't dodge, just stood there for others to see, but his breathing became more and more rapid, and the ups and downs of nervousness and trembling could be seen through the heavy material of the clothes on his chest.

Ai Ye watched from the side, and his animal intuition made him feel that the air current flowing between the two was unusual, not a simple friendship, but it didn't look like an ambiguous relationship either...

It's just the strange atmosphere flowing quietly in the air, just like the low pressure before the blizzard, the calm must be the strong wind, pressing on the chest like a rock.Ai Ye didn't know what it was like, but he couldn't breathe because of the blockage, his stomach was sore and his chest was sore, it was very uncomfortable.

He looked sideways at Gu Wangshu, for some reason, he just felt that he seemed to be feeling the same as himself at this time, and it wasn't a comforting feeling that seemed to be reunited after a long absence.

"Leader Su just got off his horse and came looking for you straight away. You haven't even had time to take a bite of the tea." Gu Qingchi walked over with a stove in his arms, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother, it seems that the Qingxu concept is up and down. , notorious far and wide, in the eyes of the leader of the Soviet Union, he is not as good as you."

Gu Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't respond, but asked in confusion, "Leader?"

"Well, the head of Su was elected as the leader of the Sword Sect a few days ago, and now he has the opportunity to travel around and greet everyone, and we came to Qingxu Temple." Gu Qingchi explained from the side.

Head?Leader?

Su Dongheng...you are amazing.

Ten years ago, he was just a disciple of the Shadow Gate Sword Sect. When he came to Qingxu Temple to cultivate his character, he met Gu Wangshu who was only in his early 14 years old.

The Shadow Gate Sword School is based on "swordsmanship without trace, killing shadows as the intention", and creates the Shadow Gate Seven Swords with complicated styles.

The ruthlessness of the shot is so merciless that it is outrageous.

If one wants to practice these seven swords with ease and proficiency, one must be insensitive, ruthless and ruthless.He, Su Dongheng, seemed to be full of righteousness, but he won the position of the leader of the Sword Sect with only this trick. It is conceivable...

Gu Wangshu doesn't know anything about the Jianghu. He only knows that there are too many people in this world who know people and faces but don't know their hearts.

Often relying on a handsome face, you can get more care, trust and preference from the world.

Su Dongheng's hand was still rubbing the top of his head for a while, which made him irritated and even a little nauseated, but it was as if he had cast a body-fixing formula on himself, and he couldn't move forward no matter what.

It's like a feral dog that usually just barks its teeth and barks, but one day it suddenly rolls over with its tail between its ears and its ears in front of someone, revealing its belly to be touched by others.

But that may not be the meaning of obedience and acknowledgment of the Lord, it may also be fear, and it may be a sign of weakness.

Gu Wangshu clenched his hands tightly, so tight that his nails were stuck in his palms and hurt, his joints turned white, and his chest heaved more and more intensely.

The memory that was covered up by him in a panic ten years ago was like a memory that was thrown away in a hurry like fleeing from a famine in the middle of a war.

That snow-covered night, that room filled with sandalwood mist.His deep eyes revealed a pleading gaze with a sense of ritual, and a pair of broad and powerful hands resting on his shoulders.

Very distinct.
