Bright Moon and Cold Thousand Mountains

The old capital has been a victim of the ever-changing political situation for many years, and now it still stands silently on the banks of the Wei River, quietly gazing at the passers-by, but it is also scarred by knives and fires.

Liu Shiqi looked up at the majestic city wall, and the word "Chang'an" was clearly defined, carrying a thick memory of a century.

"Aren't you in a daze again?" Wen Di laughed, pulled the bridle of his horse, and led him to the city gate.

As the saying goes, being close to the hometown is timid, Liu Shiqi has very little impression of Chang'an, but he can't stand a little hesitation.He took a deep breath, walked side by side with Wendi, and got off his horse when the guards were checking the documents, almost spraining his feet.

In Chang'an, the prosperity of the past is still there. The spring in the north of the river comes later than Yangzhou, and the evening wind is still humid.After nightfall, the frost in the corner of the wall condenses, mottled white.

After the new government banned the night tiles and set a strict curfew time, the streets were almost dimly lonely except for the lights in the neighborhood.Wen Di and Liu Shiqi lived in an inn. Recently, more and more barbarians entered the Central Plains from Tongguan. It was quiet outside, but noisy inside the inn.

When Liu Shiqi thought of the days with Fang Ling and Ba Qi, and looked at those barbarians, he felt a little sad.

He leaned against the railing on the second floor and stood quietly. After a while, Wen Di pushed open the door of the wing room and called him, "Seventeen, come here and show you a place."

Xin Ran pushed the door open and entered, Wen Di had just finished washing, his hair was wet, and he was wearing a simple middle coat, plain white, which made his face look less bloody.He was leaning against the window, and when he saw Liu Shiqi coming, he stepped aside and pulled him to stand over.

"Over there," Wen Di pointed to a direction, submerged in the vast night, and said, "It takes about three or four alleys from here, and then a Taoist temple, near the west wall, and the Zhuangzi over there are all private courtyards. Our house used to be in that area, but I don’t know which house it is after it was burnt out.”

Liu Shiqi couldn't help but look in that direction, as if he could outline the vague outline of his memory from the few words of Wendi.

But it was far away and it was night, he couldn't see anything for a long time, so he had to look away for a while.Liu Shiqi sat down at the table, saw Di's thin back when he bowed his body to fetch water, and suddenly said, "Brother Di, who was the Taoist priest that day?"

Wen Di tilted his head and said: "I don't know, but ordinary Taoists...if they are not in the martial arts, they rarely hold whisks and long swords at the same time. Long swords are used to exorcise evil spirits, and most of them use peach wood swords instead of iron swords. So I guess , that Taoist priest may be an expert in Ziyang Temple."

Liu Shiqi: "Huh?"

Wendi raised his eyes, and said: "Your father has a very close relationship with Ziyang Temple. In the Yangzhou arena, Duan Wuchi also said that Sheng Tianya snatched the map from Mu Zhenren and hurt people. Although this 'event' was not People who do not have Ziyang Temple are caught in it, Taoist Master Shishan may have his own considerations."

Liu Shiqi vaguely understood something and nodded, "So...they instructed us to come here on purpose?"

"It's hard to say." Wendi said, and he closed the window, "You said you want to come back to find something, what exactly are you looking for?"

"I..." Liu Shiqi was at a loss for words, and took a long time to think about it, "I always feel that there is something missing in me. I thought so when I was in Xiaopenglai. After looking back at Yuedao for a while, I couldn't find my master to relieve my depression. The Daoist said that day that the old place was really lost, I thought he meant Chang'an."

A teenager who is used to wandering around, will doubt himself even more once he settles down.

Wendi sat down in front of him with great interest, and said, "Which part do you think it is?"

Liu Shiqi raised his head, with confusion and guilt in his eyes: "Brother Di, you don't think I... Master said, I don't care about anything. I don't know if it's just casual or my heart is like a rock. I can't cover it."

Wendi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, a gleam of light overflowed from the depths of Danfeng's eyes: "I don't think so."

When he raised his hand, his fingertips just touched Liu Shiqi's heart. He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's hot here, I can feel it. Shiqi, you don't know what you care about, but you can't prove that you care about everything." Do you know? You didn’t like to cry when you were a child, and your neighbors praised you for being so good, but your mother said it might not be a good thing.”

Liu Shiqi hesitated and said, "Really?"

Wendi: "You keep everything in your heart. If others don't ask, you don't say it. Even if you care and care, how can someone know if you don't tell it? I think Master Yi misunderstood, thinking that you don't care about those things , so I won’t tell you.”

Liu Shiqi was frustrated, and said in a muffled voice, "Are you so sure? What if I really don't care?"

"If you were really cold-faced and cold-hearted, you wouldn't tell me that you want to go back to Chang'an." Wendi said seriously, with his palms on Liu Shiqi's chest, feeling his heart beating alive in his thin chest.

Liu Shiqi: "..."

Wen Di comforted him: "Seventeen, maybe you think you have experienced a lot of hardships, but suffering does not mean growth, neither does pain. You are just 20 years old, and the road to life is long, take your time, don't worry. "

What he said was extremely gentle, and when Liu Shiqi's ears felt hot, his nose suddenly felt a little sour—Boss Feng Tingyun was nagging non-stop, Yi Chunqiu moistened things silently, Xie Xingzhou preferred to fight with him personally, Of course they couldn't say bad things to him, but they also cared seven points and loved him three points.

But no one is the same as Wendi to him.

Where is Wendi?

Liu Shiqi couldn't say the reason, but he knew that he couldn't let him go.

He grabbed the corner of Wendi's sleeve, and the sudden movement made Wendi want to withdraw his hand in a daze.Liu Shiqi grasped even tighter, he noticed something strange, and pressed Liu Shiqi's chin to force him to raise his head. When he looked, there were tears in those eyes.

"What's the matter?" Wen Di asked, and hurriedly pulled Liu Shiqi into his arms.

It was as if he had turned into a bewildered child in the Yanxue Peak cave on this day, holding a glimpse of the bloody secret, and immediately ran away in a panic.Even after many years, Liu Shiqi's nightmare would still isolate him in a similar situation, until Wendi appeared and frankly gave him a support.

Liu Shiqi knew that Wendi was not a good person, he could dormant for years for revenge, dealt with brothers and sisters, was good at dancing with long sleeves, but in fact he kept a side of everyone.But for him, Wen Di has always had no reservations.

He was confused, he just buried his head in Wendi's arms, sniffed the faint fragrance of his body after bathing, and said softly: "Brother Di, after many years, will you still be with me?"

Wendi: "Huh?"

Liu Shiqi thought for a while and said, "I don't want to be separated from you anymore."

He and Wendi get together less often, but at this night, when Muchun's little tail is troubled by unreasonable melancholy, Liu Shiqi inexplicably has the idea of ​​"If I can, I want to stay by his side all the time".

Before waiting for Lai Wendi's answer, Liu Shiqi looked up at him.When the four eyes met, Wendi obviously staggered his eyes. This incident aroused Liu Shiqi's dissatisfaction. His eyes unconsciously turned around on Wendi's face. When those two upturned lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling were on the lips, Liu Qiqi paused.

He remembered the specious intimacy that fell on his forehead in the alley, and the lingering kiss under the umbrella.

Liu Shiqi's mind was blank, his eyes blinked, and he couldn't tell why, he raised his arms around Wendi's neck, tentatively touched his lips, and gently licked the kiss.

He didn't realize what was wrong with this behavior, he just felt that words seemed unable to express his urgent mood.

Wen Di trembled all over, and the arms on his shoulders suddenly gathered, hugging Liu Shiqi even tighter.But only for a moment, Wendi forced himself to separate from him, his eyes sank: "Seventeen, don't treat me like this."

Liu Shiqi showed a puzzled expression, and then said angrily, "Didn't you treat me like this first?"

Wendi panted softly, pushed him to the side of the table, and stood up by himself, as if this would dissipate the ambiguity in the room.He bit the tip of his tongue, tasted a bit of blood, forced himself to regain consciousness, and said, "It's my fault, you don't understand anything... I've taught you badly."

Liu Shiqi remained silent, followed him to get up, and confronted Wendi silently.

He clearly felt that because of the action and charming thoughts just now, he was slowly slipping towards some irreversible direction, but his heart jumped with joy, and even felt sweet.

Just like a Qingping tune, he can understand the tenderness of "a good night to a beloved".

"I know." Liu Shiqi said suddenly, "I'm serious about what I said, Brother Di, I don't mean to belittle you. I depend too much on you. I used to think it was because you were kind to me, but then Once...after Zuo Nian died, I left Xixiu Mountain, thinking all the way, whether it was because you were kind to me, or there were other reasons."

Wendi's throat moved, and he almost couldn't hold back his face: "What else..."

Liu Shiqi interrupted him and said, "I know the relationship between Mo Ci and Senior Brother Yu, and I also guessed that Senior Brother Xie might be in love with Senior Brother Feng. ..."

Wendi could hardly feel anything else, only the ups and downs of her heart was lifted to a high place.

Liu Shiqi glanced to the side, and his voice was much lower: "You like me, don't you? Otherwise, that time in Chunfeng Town, you suddenly... just because I am your brother-in-law? You would do the same thing if you were someone else ?”

Of course not, I'm only for you.

But Wen Di couldn't say these words.

This is the second time that something in his heart has been broken, and unlike the last time when Yu Zheng pointed it out, Wen Di didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed this time.He pulled a stool and sat down, so that he could have a support, and the lonely insects sang occasionally in the spring night, coming from the white frost accumulated in the corner of the wall.

He gestured to Liu Shiqi, beckoning him to come closer, and then asked, "What about you, what do you think?"

So it was acquiesced, and Wendi's attitude was not as surprised as expected, which made Liu Shiqi feel at a loss for a moment.

He took two steps over there, and then clenched his hands: "I haven't thought about it."

Wen Di: "..."

Liu Shiqi immediately went back and added: "But I like being with you, and I just said that I don't want to be separated anymore. It's from my heart. When you are here, I am more secure than anyone else by my side."

Not only does he mean the stability of the environment, he is talking about his own heart, which is used to finding a harbor.

Seeing that he didn't answer right away, Liu Shiqi added with a warm ear: "Together with you...you are worthy of others and not afraid of the sky. Brother Di, how are you?"

Hearing the flute for a long time, he didn't say anything until Liu Shiqi couldn't help becoming nervous, and then he said: "I can't accept that you live with others, and I don't like the way you look at others with warmth and cherishment, but I can't help it. You are not my own. I almost figured it out, but you suddenly did this..."

Liu Shiqi: "I think very clearly, brother Di, I can't get rid of this knot, whether it is martial arts or the road ahead, it will be very difficult. It took me a long time to find the crux—"

"Since you did that." Wendi said, his voice became firm, when Liu Shiqi was pulling him, his center of gravity was unsteady, and he almost fell, but Wendi firmly supported him.

The tips of their noses almost touched each other, and their breaths were intertwined. Liu Shiqi blushed deeply.

Wen Di lightly kissed the corner of his lips, stuck there and whispered, whispering like a pair of lovers: "Since I have done this, I will not let go——Seventeen, Ah Mian, send it yourself came up."

Liu Shiqi laughed, and was about to say "When will I send it up", when Wen Di kissed him straight.

This time, there was no polite manner anymore, Wendi kissed him wetly, grabbed his breath, the tip of his tongue nimbly pried open the gap between his lips and slipped in, licked around the root of the tooth, and continued to go deep, hooking his soft flesh She sucks.Wendi's finger was on Liu Shiqi's chin, and the other firmly wrapped around his waist, like a hunter catching a weak rabbit.

The young man Xi Wu's body was flexible and firm. Wendi touched his back all the way from his waist to his back, pressed on his shoulder blades very slowly, and forced out a fine groan from Liu Shiqi's throat.

He suddenly seemed to be greatly satisfied, and after closing his eyes, the corners of his lips raised involuntarily.

"This is mine." Wen Di thought, "It should have been mine long ago."

Wendi didn't fall asleep until very late that night.On the other hand, Liu Shiqi, who was lying next to him, fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, his breathing was steady, and there was no furrow between his brows, so he should have had a good dream.

He planned to take him to the old residence until dawn, but when he heard the cock crow, Wendi suddenly didn't want to move.

He turned over and lay on his side, hugging Liu Shiqi's waist, with his whole face pressed against his back, his thoughts wandering about his destination.He recalled that when the two of them were very young, they shared the same couch. Liu Shiqi didn't sleep well, so he took him whole in his arms.

But why didn't I have any other thoughts at that time?Wen Di passed over his shoulder, vaguely saw Liu Shiqi's peaceful sleeping face, unconsciously raised his body slightly, leaned forward and bit his earlobe.After leaving a few teeth marks, the person in his arms writhed restlessly, as if feeling pain in his sleep, and moaned softly.

So Wendi went to coax him again, patted his arm, and a secret pleasure arose in his heart——

Only I can bully, and when I finish bullying, I can only be coaxed.Usually so strong, but now he is not obedient.

Wen Di thought, felt that he was sick.However, when Liu Shiqi turned over to face him and hugged him, Wen Di hooked his fingers, and softly called Ah Mian to sleep well, and don't take that thought seriously again.

He kissed Liu Shiqi on the forehead, half asleep and half awake, he could not help but praise Zuo once and said: Liu Miansheng, this name seems to be a decent name, it sounds quiet and restrained, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, just like his temperament.

Wendi's sleep was short but comfortable. When he opened his eyes again, Liu Shiqi was lying on the table, with a pot of boiling water and several tea bowls in front of him.

Seeing that Di woke up, Liu Shiqi showed a bit of embarrassment: "Brother Di, the tea is overcooked."

He usually drinks tea with someone else handling it, and when he drinks water by himself, the plain water will be used. When he wakes up, he remembers that Brother Di is very particular. He asked Xiaoer for tea and wanted to boil the water himself, but he didn't control the temperature properly.

"Then just drink some boiled water." Wendi got out of bed draped over his clothes, "Are you hungry? Let's go out to eat."

Liu Shiqi: "Where are you going?"

Wendi: "The bun shop in West Market."

As soon as he turned over and stood up, he seemed to be able to recall the feeling of the year from his vague memory.Wen Di heard Liu Shiqi's stomach growl in disbelief, pulled someone over to steal a kiss, and then reached out to take the Changhe knife that was put aside.

The two packed up quickly, and it was just after lunch when they went out, and the downstairs of the inn was bustling.Liu Shiqi walked ahead to go out, Wen Di habitually looked at other people in the inn when he turned around, but when he looked back, a person stood up in the corner, Wen Di couldn't help but pause for a moment.

After roughly scanning his face, when he saw a scar under the man's earlobe clearly, Wen Di was taken aback and frowned.

However, he didn't tell Liu Shiqi about these things, and led him around the alley with ease, and the two stopped in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop in West Market - the shop was narrow, and many people lined up in front of the stall.

Liu Shiqi naturally stood at the end of the line, his long knife never leaving his body.People in Chang'an City are not like those in Jiangnan and Jin. They turn a blind eye to the people in Jianghu and are not surprised. They have lived in comfort for a long time, and have seen many merchants. Take a few more glances.

Being watched by these people, coupled with the fact that he is not short and has an aura between a teenager and a young man, Liu Shiqi stands out from the crowd.Although Wen Di also practices martial arts, he still mainly dresses in long gowns outside, which is much more refined than him.

He felt uncomfortable all over, and rubbed against Wendi, and was leniently held by his hand.

A pair of young people who seem to be just a little sticky, holding each other boredly in the street.The sleeves of the robe were wide, and Liu Shiqi felt Wendi's fingers grasp his own, and then spread his palm.The fingertips ran across the palm lines slightly, and it was so itchy that he wanted to laugh. Halfway through the laugh, Liu Shiqi suddenly noticed the intention of hearing the flute.

Horizontal, skimming, vertical, horizontal folding...

He is writing.

Liu Shiqi's smile was still on the corner of his lips, and he was already on guard. He followed the outline outlined by Wendi to spell out the words he wrote, and gradually came up with a sentence: "There are people, don't look back."

The people in front of the queue walked away contentedly holding the buns. After Wendi finished writing the last word, he withdrew his hand suddenly and looked at the bun shop owner with a smile on his face: "Hey, hello, please bring half a drawer of meat buns. Here is Here is the money, you don’t need to look for it.”

He accepted the steamed buns from the boss with a normal expression, shared one with Liu Shiqi, and stuffed it into his mouth.Caught off guard and being blocked, Liu Shiqi hummed aggrievedly, but Wendi smiled deeper and pinched his face: "Eat it quickly, you loved this when you were young. You have been away from home for so many years, you think about it very much, don't you?"

The boss listened to the conversation between the two of them, seeing them as close as brothers, and said cheerfully: "The two young masters are also from Chang'an? Our steamed stuffed bun shop has been in business for almost 30 years. Where does the young master live? What about the neighbors?"

"It's near the west of the city." Wen Di greeted him, "I will come to your hometown to live in the future, and I will definitely visit your house every day!"

There was laughter inside and outside the steamed stuffed bun shop, Liu Shiqi took two bites of the steamed stuffed bun, remembering Wen Di's inexplicable mention of "Don't look back", the delicious steamed stuffed bun was also tasteless.

What else did he want to ask, Wen Di winked, and Liu Shiqi hurriedly followed.

In the inner city where the squares and the city are separated, there are three streets and nine lanes, and the complex alleys of different widths are like a carefully constructed maze.He strolled in front of him, picking places where no one was around, looking extremely confident, as if he had a whole map in his mind.

After following for a while, Liu Shiqi felt that something was wrong, walked a few steps side by side with Wendi, and asked softly, "Brother Di, do you really know how to walk?"

"Of course I don't know." Wendi replied calmly, "But you just follow me."

Liu Shiqi was confused, but he could only say "Oh" and continue to follow him around.

When he passed the same intersection for the second time and saw the wine flag waving on the opposite side, Liu Shiqi vaguely understood Wendi's intention.They walked through an alley, and before hearing the flute to speak, he put his palms on the wall, and immediately performed a series of dazzling movements, Liu Shiqi was already squatting on the walls on both sides.

He glanced at the courtyard, there was no one in the family, and only two children were playing in the other family.Hearing the movement, the little boy looked this way, his eyes widened in surprise, and he opened his mouth to call someone.

"Hush—" Liu Shiqi hurriedly pressed his fingers on his lips, signaling to the two children to shut up.

Xu Shi, a hero who flies over the roof and walks on walls, is quite similar to his description at the moment. With this wink, the older children really shut up.He looked around, picked up his brother who couldn't speak, and ran into the house in a hurry.

Liu Shiqi couldn't help laughing, covered his mouth to hold back his laughter, and looked down at Wendi.

He was standing sideways against the wall, and he had already made a move - but anyone who has seen Zuo Nian's move here, will be able to recognize at a glance that this is the first move of the folding hand, "Looking at the flower mess" , most suitable for capturing the opponent's upper body in a narrow place, supplemented by listening to the wind step to lock the lower body, completely sealing the enemy.

As the footsteps got closer, Liu Shiqi grabbed a concealed weapon, and silently held the handle of the Changhe knife with his other hand.The rags wrapped around the blade fell off, revealing the non-gold and non-iron scabbard——

The moment a pair of soap boots appeared, Wendi stabbed out obliquely and pointed towards the man's Yanggu acupoint.After missing a move, he quickly circled behind his back, feinted and locked his throat!

The man struggled instinctively, and was about to kick the person behind him when a sharp hidden weapon flew over his face.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the broken blade was pressing against his throat.

Wen Di quickly tapped his acupoints, but he spoke teasingly, and said with a smile: "If I had known that your kung fu is so poor, I wouldn't have to be so vigilant. It was a false alarm that I let my little brother take action in vain."

After saying that, he let go of the man and signaled Liu Shiqi to withdraw the knife.But Liu Shiqi hesitated for a moment, the blade remained on the man's neck and said, "Do you know this man?"

"I don't know." Wendi said honestly, "But I know the scar under the earlobe. I heard from my senior sister that this scar was a romantic debt, and it was pulled out by Li Ruyi and Li Nuxia - yes or no, Helian Mingzhao."

The man in his thirties who was lost in the crowd laughed and scratched his head: "It's all in the past, so it's not worth mentioning. Hey, Wen Shaoxia, I've been looking for you so hard!"

Wendi crossed his arms and leaned back: "Oh? The owner of the Green Mountain Pavilion has kept the feng shui treasure land in Nanchu for a short time, and came all the way to Chang'an to find me in person. What's your business?"

Liu Shiqi: "Who?!"
