There is wine and moon, there is chess and music, tonight is really elegant.
Cangyu had never experienced this kind of elegance, and it was not bad to experience it with Xie Tongyou at this time. He toasted to the moon, and imitated the other party's appearance and drank the wine full of moonlight, feeling that the taste was really good There are some differences. I don't know whether it is the difference in alcohol or the psychological effect.Xuan Jie didn't like alcohol, probably because he was startled by the previous drunkenness, he didn't drink at all, only ate some side dishes, but was more interested in the chess game, Xie Tongyou leaned over and asked him if he had learned it before, Do you want the next game?
Cangyu doesn't know if there are any monsters in the fox family who can play chess. He himself knows a little bit but is not proficient.But he knew that neither Chishuishui nor Qianniang knew how to play chess, so Xuanjie probably couldn't either.
Xuan Jie was very honest, shook his head and said: "I have never seen such a thing, what is it used for?"
Probably living so long, no one has ever asked Xie Tongyou such a boring and common-sense question. He paused for a moment before saying: "This thing is called 'chess', and it is used to relieve boredom and entertainment, but ordinary Confucian scholars also borrow it This friendship is similar to wine."
Xuan Jie frowned and said, "It looks inedible."
"It's not for food, it's for playing." Xie Tongyou laughed loudly, explained the rules of the chess game to Xuan Jie, and cleaned up the mess. When he picked up the first chess piece, his hand paused, Seemingly reluctant, he quickly put the black and white pieces back into the green-glazed chess pot as if nothing had happened, and taught Xuan Jie how to pick up the pieces, and then asked him what color he liked.
Xuan Jie asked, "Is the color of the chess pieces just for distinguishing?"
"That's right. Heizi usually leaves first, but we're joking around at night, so we don't feel restrained. If you like, you can choose black and white, and you can go first and then go." Xie Tongyou is not very particular about these things, he puts the rules in detail After saying it again, I was afraid that Cangyu would be neglected, so I asked him, "I wonder if brother Cangyu is interested?"
Cangyu knew that her level was far from that of Confucian scholars like Xie Tongyou who took piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as their daily learning content, so she smiled slightly and said, "I can understand a little, but it's just playing chess that makes things difficult for me." , let's just watch."
It's enough to lose face with Xuan Jie, he doesn't understand anything anyway, and even gets more courageous as he gets frustrated.
Xie Tongyou didn't force it, and continued to explain the rules of chess to Xuan Jie. He spoke slowly and carefully, and was very easy to understand. I forgot my head again. After all, playing chess is not based on listening, but on practice.
At this time, the twilight was dark, only the bright moon was shining on the earth, Cangyu drank another glass of wine, and suddenly found that the chess jar and the chess pieces did not match, she couldn't help but said curiously: "This chess jar is very elegant, but it is not the same as this chessboard. Was it added later?"
The chessboard is carved on a thin slab of stone for decoration, the black and white pieces seem to be smooth polished jade, they are all dark in color, but this chess jar is blue and bright, like spring mist and blue waves, the color is indescribable Soft and bright, as delicate as the tender green of the tea leaf tip.
Chessboards, chess pots and chess pieces should be a set. Many experts who live in seclusion in the mountains would use stones and pine cones as chess sets, but Xie Tongyou, who came from a wealthy family, shouldn't be so simple and casual.Cangyu didn't pay much attention to these things, but because it was a bit obvious that they didn't match up, she couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
"Is this a chess pot..." Xie Tongyou pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "The friend who played chess in the last game broke the chess pot for some reason, and gave me these two as compensation. My friend is naturally stingy , I specially keep some precious things privately, and it is rare for me to get some things from him, so I show them off, which makes Brother Cangyu laugh."
Show off?I'm afraid not?
Originally Xie Tongyou didn't say it, Cangyu didn't feel it yet, but after hearing him say this, he always felt that the opponent's movement of holding the chess pot was a lot more deliberate, and he was particularly reluctant when he just cleaned up the mess.
friend.
Xie Tongyou's family has a great career and wealth, this jar looks really beautiful, but it's not priceless, it must be because of his affection for that friend that he can cherish it so much.Cang Yu stared at the now empty chess game for a moment, then lightly bumped Xuan Jie's arm with her elbow, and Xuan Jie was about to pick up the chess jar, so she immediately turned her head to look.
"You have always been vigorous and resolute, but now you can move lightly with your hands. This thing is fragile. Brother Xie kindly taught you how to play chess. Don't damage other people's things."
Xuan Jie immediately turned his hands lightly, took the chess pot carefully and put it beside him, and then concentrated on playing chess with Xie Tongyou.
"Brother Cangyu laughed." Xie Tongyou couldn't help shaking his head, with a smile on his face, "Brother Xuanjie, please."
Xie Tongyou only joked and didn't say it was casual, which didn't match his chic and wanton attitude all the way. It can be seen that he really cared about this chess pot in his heart.
Cangyu is not a person who doesn't know good and bad about the details of people's relationship with each other. He has to figure out things that the other party is sometimes embarrassed to say, but in this way, he is a little curious about Xie Tongyou, a good friend.Although this chess jar is not a valuable item, it is really not unusual. It can be seen that Duo's family background should be similar to that of Xie Tongyou.
Xie Tongyou is already very interesting, I don't know how interesting his friend is.
Cangyu tilted her head and drank half a pot of wine, suddenly felt excited, and immediately said: "Brother Xie is such a wonderful person, I think it would be very interesting to make friends, I wonder if I am lucky enough to make friends."
Cangyu's thinking here is very simple, Xie Tongyou knows Fengyue, since his friend has a good relationship with him, he must also be a talented and funny person, Xuanjie knows a lot of people like this, he can learn a lot, expand own social circle.He had stayed in Qingqiu for a long time, and he was used to everyone going straight to each other. Although he didn't feel anything when he spoke, it was unavoidably rude to Xie Tongyou's ears.
However, Xie Tongyou regarded the two of them as out-of-world experts who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and felt that it was very valuable for Cangyu and Xuanjie to understand some common sense in the world, so he didn't care much.
Xie Tongyou looked at Cangyu with a half-smile, and slowly said: "Watching chess and not talking is a real gentleman, brother Zongxuanjie is not good at chess, brother Cangyu shouldn't disturb my mind, this is not the way of a gentleman. "
At this time, Xie Tongyou and Xuan Jie had been playing for a while.
Cangyu blinked, and looked down at the chess game. As expected, the situation was tense, and she should have been embarrassed, but instead she laughed: "Brother Xie is going to lose, why should I blame it?" He failed in chess, but He has some skills in chess, Xie Tongyou was killed by Xuan Jie, his style of chess is extremely stable, but Xuan Jie is like a dragon sailing out of the sea, fierce and tricky.
"Brother Xuan Jie, is this your first time playing chess?"
The chess game has been said to have been broken, and the defeat was obvious, Xie Tongyou had no choice but to abandon his son and said: "You are better than when I first learned chess, so it can be seen that arrogance is not a good thing, I just thought I should let Brother Xuan Jie, How could I lose so much face right now."
"Brother Xie kept his hand." Cangyu said with a smile.
"To lose is to lose, to win is to win." Xie Tongyou shook his head and said, "It's true for any reason, there is nothing to argue about, but thank you Brother Cangyu for saving my face. But this is all up to you, if it wasn't for you I just spoke, I would not have lost so badly."
This remark was very shameless, and Cangyu was not angry when he heard it. It is very common for friends to talk like this.
Xuan Jie still had no expression on his face. After knowing that the game was over, he slowly picked up the chess pieces and put them back in the chess jar. At this time, the food and wine were almost gone, and the moon even faded away.Xie Tongyou packed up the chess pieces, stood up and took the two of them to rest in the guest room. There was no one else in his room, so he had to do everything by himself. The bedding in the guest room had been dried, but he had to take it out and spread it by himself .
After Xie Tongyou lit the lamp, he opened the closet and let them get the bedding by themselves, saying that he was going to clean up the leftovers, and left soon.
When he is polite, he is very polite, and when he is not polite, he is not at all restrained, and his temper suits Cangyu's appetite.
If it wasn't for the fact that tonight's play was still vivid in his ears, Cang Yu would have thought that he and Xie Tongyou were good friends who had been together for a long time.Letting Xie Tongyou clean up the mess, Cangyu and Xuan Jie spread out the bedding while casually thinking about what happened just now, only then did they realize that Xie Tongyou solved the problem by playing chess.
Ordinary friends, if there is anything difficult to say, Xie Tongyou is smooth and sophisticated, so he obviously doesn't want to say it if he avoids mentioning it like this.
That friend is probably not a woman.
Only then did Cangyu suddenly realize that men and women are different after all, it's hard for Xie Tongyou to explain clearly, so as not to arouse curiosity.
Xie Tongyou's house is not small, the guest rooms are located in a courtyard, very close to the study, there are four or five rooms, all of which are two adjacent to each other, separated by bamboo, very elegant.Cangyu's house was covered with quilts, and they went to Xuanjie's room to help. The two demons had been busy for half a day, and Xuanjie had already set up his vine net between the walls. Come out, densely crawling on the wall to form a piece.
Cangyu was dumbfounded, and said angrily, "If you sleep on this, what kind of bedding should you lay on?"
Xuan Jie was puzzled: "You want to shop."
He was almost so angry that Cangyu fell upside down, he was still holding the corner of the quilt in his hand, at the moment he was both angry and funny and said: "Forget it, let it be, it will save money for the two of us to stay in a hotel in the future, and I will sleep in it from now on." You sleep on the wall on the bed. If you are unlucky and catch up in the wilderness, you can avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants by sleeping this way."
Xuan Jie didn't know that Cang Yu was speaking in anger with half truth and half falsehood, but hearing his words were reasonable and his eyebrows were very vivid, he liked it very much, so he responded, "Okay."
Cangyu felt that Xuan Jie would die of anger sooner or later if she stayed here, she hurriedly took three deep breaths, walked out of the room, and prepared to go back to her room for a good sleep.He himself hadn't realized that Qingqiu had put on a mask to live indifferently for [-] years, and after only a few days since he came to the world, he was already attracted by the beauty and fun of the world, and his temperament became more outgoing.
If it was in the past, Cangyu would never ask rashly if he was not fully sure.
Among them, all the foxes in Qingqiu were very familiar with Cangyu, but Xie Tongyou and Cangyu met for the first time.
It was a really long night, and Cangyu lay on the soft bed only to realize that she seemed to be a bit abrupt just now, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, thinking that Xie Tongyou probably felt that she was a rude person.Cangyu has gained demon power for many years, and killed countless monsters. His temperament has not changed a lot, and he still cares about the eyes of others like ordinary people. However, this is a thing of the past, and there is no way to correct it. He can only regret it in his heart. I fell asleep after a while.
Xuan Jie has always been a good baby who goes to bed early, and rests when he says he wants to. He lay on the rattan net and gently swayed in the wind, slowly falling asleep.
He saw a mountain.
The sky seemed to be just right, the sun slanted across the world, making the dewdrops on many leaves and weeds glisten. He walked all the way, but he felt that the mountain road was not difficult to walk, as if he was used to being trampled on, creating a flat road. Way to come.
This mountain road leans against the mountain wall on one side, and there are many flowers and trees planted on the other side. The shade of the trees is like a cover, swaying slightly with the wind, and occasionally leaking pieces of gold bouncing on the ground, it is a pleasant place.
Xuan Jie walked slowly towards the mountain road, and heard two teenagers laughing and fighting behind him. He turned around and saw a purple-clothed boy jumping up with two loads of water, smiling all over his face; The blue-clothed boy in the water is unhappy.
The purple-clothed boy seemed to be very proud, hanging his hands on the shoulder pole easily, with his back to Xuan Jie, he shouted triumphantly: "Junior brother, you are slow!"
"Hmph." The boy in blue said coldly, "What are you proud of? If you spill water, you will lose."
It sounded like the two of them were making a bet and joking, but the boy in purple was slightly better.
Then the boy in purple turned around. The moment he saw Xuan Jie, the mountains and rivers suddenly turned upside down, and the sun was shattered, leaving only a gloomy darkness and silence. The young boy stared at him coldly. disappeared without a trace.
"who are you?"
The boy raised his head, although his stature was small, his spirit was not inferior to Xuan Jie's, and he said every word: "Get out!"
I don't know what he was reading, Xuan Jie couldn't hear the sound, he could only see his lips moving, and then the whole darkness burned, the fire started from nowhere, and suddenly rolled into a monstrous flame.Xuan Jie has always loved raging fire, but for some reason, these flames gave him a burning and painful feeling, and it seemed that they were not real fire.
Xuan Jie backed away subconsciously, and then opened his eyes, only darkness remained.
He sat up and saw the rough touch of vines underneath, the soft bed in front of him, the sky was filled with dark clouds outside the window, the burning candles in the room had long since run out of oil, not to mention the warmth, even a little light could not be seen.
What was that just now?
Xuan Jie lay down again, put his hands behind his head, hesitantly searched for the appearance of the two boys in his memory, but found nothing.
He seems to have broken into a world that shouldn't be broken into.
Xuan Jie lay on the wisteria and thought for a while, feeling a little unsteady, so he turned over and knocked on Cangyu's door, but the other party was fast asleep and didn't respond.Soon Xuan Jie put his hand down, recalled the dream thoughtfully, he walked out slowly, I don't know which boy's emotions still remained in his heart, sorrow and joy, sour like soaking in old age. Among the old vinegar.
He vaguely felt that the feeling at that time was similar to what he experienced when the Nightmare took him away, but he changed from a victim to a perpetrator, and he couldn't react for a while.
If it is someone else's dream, whose dream is it?
Xie Tongyou?Cangyu?Or an unknown person in the entire Yongning City.
Xuan Jie paced around the yard for a while, he had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but the power was completely out of control, and he couldn't decide whether he wanted it or not, whether it was because he ate the soul of the Nightmare Demon, that he called him Got this luck.Xuan Jie doesn't like unknown things, just like he doesn't like to liberate his nature and turn into a wild beast, so he is very irritable for a while, afraid that he will be drawn into a dream for no reason after falling asleep.
The next day it started to rain lightly, Cangyu had a good night's sleep, got up and knocked on Xuanjie's door, he still looked the same.There were umbrellas hanging on the wall of the guest room. After washing, the two each took one and walked towards the center of the lake.
Xie Tongyou took over the rooster's duty to watch the morning. He was playing the flute in the pavilion early in the morning. The rain was lingering, and the wind brought bamboo and stone to play with him. The sound of the flute was quiet and far away, not disturbing.
A little girl was setting out the tea table, opening a food box and serving breakfast layer by layer, porridge and side dishes were all available, she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, she had a very cute bun, she was not afraid of people, looked up Looked at Cangyu and Xuanjie, blinked, and said to Xie Tongyou with a smile: "Master, madam told you to visit her more. I also asked why you asked Youfu to run errands last night. It turned out that it was a banquet." Guest, Madam got angry last night in vain."
Xie Tongyou put down the flute, pondered for a moment and said: "Go back and tell my mother that he won't come again."
Cang Yu heard him playing charades with the maid, and felt a little interesting, but also a little strange, is Xie Tongyou's house usually used to entertain someone his mother doesn't like?
Because of yesterday's conjecture, four words immediately came to Cangyu's mind: "Golden House Cangjiao".
But people have left their pictures and geese have left their marks, here is clean, there is no trace of a woman at all, and immediately thought about the Taoist.
It is absolutely impossible for Xie Tongyou's Taoism to be self-taught. His mother does not want him to become a monk. He probably built this house by himself and used it to socialize with Taoists in private. This also explains why this house is a nine palace formation. .
Cang Yu squinted her eyes and thought about it, and felt that it was very reasonable, he and Xie Tongyou were just friends in terms of wine and meat, they didn't care about life and the future, so they just pretended that they didn't hear it at all.Xuan Jie became even calmer. After putting away his umbrella, he sat down on the edge of the chess game again, probably because he tasted the sweetness of victory last night and wanted to savor it again today.
The master was still talking, of course Cangyu didn't look so blind that he started to eat first, so he simply leaned over to Xuan Jie and asked him what he was doing, Xuan Jie pointed to the endgame and touched a chess piece in his hand, as if he was thinking of breaking the game. Law.
Cangyu didn't see any tricks, but felt that the chess game was very familiar, and just wanted to tease Xuan Jie, who had only learned chess for a day and wanted to challenge the difficulty, but subconsciously looked at Xuan Jie, and suddenly realized that Xie Tongyou put The endgame before the chess game last night has been restored.
After dismissing the little maid, Xie Tongyou stood in place and finished playing the last part of the tune, and then went inside to chat and laugh with them: "The discipline is not strict, if that girl offends something just now, I will look to the two Haihans."
Cangyu and Xuanjie didn't have as many faults and rules as ordinary scholars, so they didn't care, and the three of them sat down to have breakfast together.
The so-called eating without talking and sleeping without talking, the three of them had breakfast and put all the dishes into the food box. Xie Tongyou went to the small stone pit to wash his hands in the cold rain, and came back to play chess with Xuan Jie. There was no pause when the endgame was disassembled, and the chess pieces were quickly cleared, asking Xuan Jie if he wanted to play another game.
Xuan Jie had nothing to do, and the two immediately began to fight.
The whole morning passed, and Xuan Jie lost more than he won, which shows that Xie Tongyou did put a lot of water last night, probably because he was so arrogant that he put his eyes on the clouds to lose.Xuan Jie has never been arrogant or impetuous, but Cangyu was a little impatient to lose. Xie Tongyou played chess slowly and talked to him: "Speaking of which, does Brother Cangyu know the anecdote about Guxu City next door?"
"A true gentleman who plays chess without talking, didn't you say that I disturbed you playing chess last night?" Cangyu blocked him with what he said yesterday, and slowly leaned towards Xuanjie.
Xie Tong smiled and said: "Brother Cangyu is not as magnanimous as Brother Xuanjie. When playing chess, the most taboo is to be impatient. If you get agitated, it is easy to be unfavorable to the battle situation. You must keep calm. Xie knows his words and demeanor, and he knows that if the person sitting across from him is Cang Brother Yu, I'm afraid the chessboard is about to fall on my head now."
Cang Yu thought, I think Xuan Jie is about to get angry after losing, so he still keeps calm?
But Cangyu knew that if she really got angry, it would be unreasonable to make trouble, and she really wanted to smash the chessboard in her heart, and she felt a little embarrassed to be right, so she dealt with him patiently: "What's the funny thing about Guxu City? "
Guxu City has just been raped by Nightmare, so is there anything interesting?Are you ancients too resilient?
"It's said that the whole city is suffering from a nightmare. In the dream, it's like a normal life. It's just that I'm very happy, and I have everything I want, and there is no suffering or worry." Xie Tongyou was distracted talking to Cangyu, and his subordinates sent a Flaws, he seems to be a little concerned about this matter, "I heard that a Taoist went to subdue demons, I don't know if he succeeded, but don't let this nightmare escape to Yong'an City."
Xuan Jie didn't have a gentleman's demeanor, so he took the opportunity to seize this flaw and turn the tables. Seeing this, Xie Tongyou hurriedly shouted: "Oh, brother Cangyu, you are really to blame for this situation!"
Cangyu rolled her eyes angrily, and said calmly, "You don't have to worry, that nightmare is already dead."
"Oh?" Xie Tongyou hugged the chess pot and touched his pieces, surprised, "Really?"
Cangyu said lazily, "Ask Xuanjie, that thing died in his hands."
For some reason, Xie Tongyou's expression seemed a little subtle. After a while, he said slowly, "You two don't look like Taoist priests, do you?"
"Even if we are, the number is not right." Cangyu said calmly, "It's just passing idlers."
Xie Tongyou suddenly realized: "Understood, understood, it was written in the play."
Cangyu felt that he didn't understand.
Cangyu had never experienced this kind of elegance, and it was not bad to experience it with Xie Tongyou at this time. He toasted to the moon, and imitated the other party's appearance and drank the wine full of moonlight, feeling that the taste was really good There are some differences. I don't know whether it is the difference in alcohol or the psychological effect.Xuan Jie didn't like alcohol, probably because he was startled by the previous drunkenness, he didn't drink at all, only ate some side dishes, but was more interested in the chess game, Xie Tongyou leaned over and asked him if he had learned it before, Do you want the next game?
Cangyu doesn't know if there are any monsters in the fox family who can play chess. He himself knows a little bit but is not proficient.But he knew that neither Chishuishui nor Qianniang knew how to play chess, so Xuanjie probably couldn't either.
Xuan Jie was very honest, shook his head and said: "I have never seen such a thing, what is it used for?"
Probably living so long, no one has ever asked Xie Tongyou such a boring and common-sense question. He paused for a moment before saying: "This thing is called 'chess', and it is used to relieve boredom and entertainment, but ordinary Confucian scholars also borrow it This friendship is similar to wine."
Xuan Jie frowned and said, "It looks inedible."
"It's not for food, it's for playing." Xie Tongyou laughed loudly, explained the rules of the chess game to Xuan Jie, and cleaned up the mess. When he picked up the first chess piece, his hand paused, Seemingly reluctant, he quickly put the black and white pieces back into the green-glazed chess pot as if nothing had happened, and taught Xuan Jie how to pick up the pieces, and then asked him what color he liked.
Xuan Jie asked, "Is the color of the chess pieces just for distinguishing?"
"That's right. Heizi usually leaves first, but we're joking around at night, so we don't feel restrained. If you like, you can choose black and white, and you can go first and then go." Xie Tongyou is not very particular about these things, he puts the rules in detail After saying it again, I was afraid that Cangyu would be neglected, so I asked him, "I wonder if brother Cangyu is interested?"
Cangyu knew that her level was far from that of Confucian scholars like Xie Tongyou who took piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as their daily learning content, so she smiled slightly and said, "I can understand a little, but it's just playing chess that makes things difficult for me." , let's just watch."
It's enough to lose face with Xuan Jie, he doesn't understand anything anyway, and even gets more courageous as he gets frustrated.
Xie Tongyou didn't force it, and continued to explain the rules of chess to Xuan Jie. He spoke slowly and carefully, and was very easy to understand. I forgot my head again. After all, playing chess is not based on listening, but on practice.
At this time, the twilight was dark, only the bright moon was shining on the earth, Cangyu drank another glass of wine, and suddenly found that the chess jar and the chess pieces did not match, she couldn't help but said curiously: "This chess jar is very elegant, but it is not the same as this chessboard. Was it added later?"
The chessboard is carved on a thin slab of stone for decoration, the black and white pieces seem to be smooth polished jade, they are all dark in color, but this chess jar is blue and bright, like spring mist and blue waves, the color is indescribable Soft and bright, as delicate as the tender green of the tea leaf tip.
Chessboards, chess pots and chess pieces should be a set. Many experts who live in seclusion in the mountains would use stones and pine cones as chess sets, but Xie Tongyou, who came from a wealthy family, shouldn't be so simple and casual.Cangyu didn't pay much attention to these things, but because it was a bit obvious that they didn't match up, she couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
"Is this a chess pot..." Xie Tongyou pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "The friend who played chess in the last game broke the chess pot for some reason, and gave me these two as compensation. My friend is naturally stingy , I specially keep some precious things privately, and it is rare for me to get some things from him, so I show them off, which makes Brother Cangyu laugh."
Show off?I'm afraid not?
Originally Xie Tongyou didn't say it, Cangyu didn't feel it yet, but after hearing him say this, he always felt that the opponent's movement of holding the chess pot was a lot more deliberate, and he was particularly reluctant when he just cleaned up the mess.
friend.
Xie Tongyou's family has a great career and wealth, this jar looks really beautiful, but it's not priceless, it must be because of his affection for that friend that he can cherish it so much.Cang Yu stared at the now empty chess game for a moment, then lightly bumped Xuan Jie's arm with her elbow, and Xuan Jie was about to pick up the chess jar, so she immediately turned her head to look.
"You have always been vigorous and resolute, but now you can move lightly with your hands. This thing is fragile. Brother Xie kindly taught you how to play chess. Don't damage other people's things."
Xuan Jie immediately turned his hands lightly, took the chess pot carefully and put it beside him, and then concentrated on playing chess with Xie Tongyou.
"Brother Cangyu laughed." Xie Tongyou couldn't help shaking his head, with a smile on his face, "Brother Xuanjie, please."
Xie Tongyou only joked and didn't say it was casual, which didn't match his chic and wanton attitude all the way. It can be seen that he really cared about this chess pot in his heart.
Cangyu is not a person who doesn't know good and bad about the details of people's relationship with each other. He has to figure out things that the other party is sometimes embarrassed to say, but in this way, he is a little curious about Xie Tongyou, a good friend.Although this chess jar is not a valuable item, it is really not unusual. It can be seen that Duo's family background should be similar to that of Xie Tongyou.
Xie Tongyou is already very interesting, I don't know how interesting his friend is.
Cangyu tilted her head and drank half a pot of wine, suddenly felt excited, and immediately said: "Brother Xie is such a wonderful person, I think it would be very interesting to make friends, I wonder if I am lucky enough to make friends."
Cangyu's thinking here is very simple, Xie Tongyou knows Fengyue, since his friend has a good relationship with him, he must also be a talented and funny person, Xuanjie knows a lot of people like this, he can learn a lot, expand own social circle.He had stayed in Qingqiu for a long time, and he was used to everyone going straight to each other. Although he didn't feel anything when he spoke, it was unavoidably rude to Xie Tongyou's ears.
However, Xie Tongyou regarded the two of them as out-of-world experts who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and felt that it was very valuable for Cangyu and Xuanjie to understand some common sense in the world, so he didn't care much.
Xie Tongyou looked at Cangyu with a half-smile, and slowly said: "Watching chess and not talking is a real gentleman, brother Zongxuanjie is not good at chess, brother Cangyu shouldn't disturb my mind, this is not the way of a gentleman. "
At this time, Xie Tongyou and Xuan Jie had been playing for a while.
Cangyu blinked, and looked down at the chess game. As expected, the situation was tense, and she should have been embarrassed, but instead she laughed: "Brother Xie is going to lose, why should I blame it?" He failed in chess, but He has some skills in chess, Xie Tongyou was killed by Xuan Jie, his style of chess is extremely stable, but Xuan Jie is like a dragon sailing out of the sea, fierce and tricky.
"Brother Xuan Jie, is this your first time playing chess?"
The chess game has been said to have been broken, and the defeat was obvious, Xie Tongyou had no choice but to abandon his son and said: "You are better than when I first learned chess, so it can be seen that arrogance is not a good thing, I just thought I should let Brother Xuan Jie, How could I lose so much face right now."
"Brother Xie kept his hand." Cangyu said with a smile.
"To lose is to lose, to win is to win." Xie Tongyou shook his head and said, "It's true for any reason, there is nothing to argue about, but thank you Brother Cangyu for saving my face. But this is all up to you, if it wasn't for you I just spoke, I would not have lost so badly."
This remark was very shameless, and Cangyu was not angry when he heard it. It is very common for friends to talk like this.
Xuan Jie still had no expression on his face. After knowing that the game was over, he slowly picked up the chess pieces and put them back in the chess jar. At this time, the food and wine were almost gone, and the moon even faded away.Xie Tongyou packed up the chess pieces, stood up and took the two of them to rest in the guest room. There was no one else in his room, so he had to do everything by himself. The bedding in the guest room had been dried, but he had to take it out and spread it by himself .
After Xie Tongyou lit the lamp, he opened the closet and let them get the bedding by themselves, saying that he was going to clean up the leftovers, and left soon.
When he is polite, he is very polite, and when he is not polite, he is not at all restrained, and his temper suits Cangyu's appetite.

Ordinary friends, if there is anything difficult to say, Xie Tongyou is smooth and sophisticated, so he obviously doesn't want to say it if he avoids mentioning it like this.
That friend is probably not a woman.
Only then did Cangyu suddenly realize that men and women are different after all, it's hard for Xie Tongyou to explain clearly, so as not to arouse curiosity.
Xie Tongyou's house is not small, the guest rooms are located in a courtyard, very close to the study, there are four or five rooms, all of which are two adjacent to each other, separated by bamboo, very elegant.Cangyu's house was covered with quilts, and they went to Xuanjie's room to help. The two demons had been busy for half a day, and Xuanjie had already set up his vine net between the walls. Come out, densely crawling on the wall to form a piece.
Cangyu was dumbfounded, and said angrily, "If you sleep on this, what kind of bedding should you lay on?"
Xuan Jie was puzzled: "You want to shop."
He was almost so angry that Cangyu fell upside down, he was still holding the corner of the quilt in his hand, at the moment he was both angry and funny and said: "Forget it, let it be, it will save money for the two of us to stay in a hotel in the future, and I will sleep in it from now on." You sleep on the wall on the bed. If you are unlucky and catch up in the wilderness, you can avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants by sleeping this way."
Xuan Jie didn't know that Cang Yu was speaking in anger with half truth and half falsehood, but hearing his words were reasonable and his eyebrows were very vivid, he liked it very much, so he responded, "Okay."
Cangyu felt that Xuan Jie would die of anger sooner or later if she stayed here, she hurriedly took three deep breaths, walked out of the room, and prepared to go back to her room for a good sleep.He himself hadn't realized that Qingqiu had put on a mask to live indifferently for [-] years, and after only a few days since he came to the world, he was already attracted by the beauty and fun of the world, and his temperament became more outgoing.
If it was in the past, Cangyu would never ask rashly if he was not fully sure.
Among them, all the foxes in Qingqiu were very familiar with Cangyu, but Xie Tongyou and Cangyu met for the first time.
It was a really long night, and Cangyu lay on the soft bed only to realize that she seemed to be a bit abrupt just now, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, thinking that Xie Tongyou probably felt that she was a rude person.Cangyu has gained demon power for many years, and killed countless monsters. His temperament has not changed a lot, and he still cares about the eyes of others like ordinary people. However, this is a thing of the past, and there is no way to correct it. He can only regret it in his heart. I fell asleep after a while.
Xuan Jie has always been a good baby who goes to bed early, and rests when he says he wants to. He lay on the rattan net and gently swayed in the wind, slowly falling asleep.
He saw a mountain.
The sky seemed to be just right, the sun slanted across the world, making the dewdrops on many leaves and weeds glisten. He walked all the way, but he felt that the mountain road was not difficult to walk, as if he was used to being trampled on, creating a flat road. Way to come.
This mountain road leans against the mountain wall on one side, and there are many flowers and trees planted on the other side. The shade of the trees is like a cover, swaying slightly with the wind, and occasionally leaking pieces of gold bouncing on the ground, it is a pleasant place.
Xuan Jie walked slowly towards the mountain road, and heard two teenagers laughing and fighting behind him. He turned around and saw a purple-clothed boy jumping up with two loads of water, smiling all over his face; The blue-clothed boy in the water is unhappy.
The purple-clothed boy seemed to be very proud, hanging his hands on the shoulder pole easily, with his back to Xuan Jie, he shouted triumphantly: "Junior brother, you are slow!"
"Hmph." The boy in blue said coldly, "What are you proud of? If you spill water, you will lose."
It sounded like the two of them were making a bet and joking, but the boy in purple was slightly better.
Then the boy in purple turned around. The moment he saw Xuan Jie, the mountains and rivers suddenly turned upside down, and the sun was shattered, leaving only a gloomy darkness and silence. The young boy stared at him coldly. disappeared without a trace.
"who are you?"
The boy raised his head, although his stature was small, his spirit was not inferior to Xuan Jie's, and he said every word: "Get out!"
I don't know what he was reading, Xuan Jie couldn't hear the sound, he could only see his lips moving, and then the whole darkness burned, the fire started from nowhere, and suddenly rolled into a monstrous flame.Xuan Jie has always loved raging fire, but for some reason, these flames gave him a burning and painful feeling, and it seemed that they were not real fire.
Xuan Jie backed away subconsciously, and then opened his eyes, only darkness remained.
He sat up and saw the rough touch of vines underneath, the soft bed in front of him, the sky was filled with dark clouds outside the window, the burning candles in the room had long since run out of oil, not to mention the warmth, even a little light could not be seen.
What was that just now?
Xuan Jie lay down again, put his hands behind his head, hesitantly searched for the appearance of the two boys in his memory, but found nothing.
He seems to have broken into a world that shouldn't be broken into.
Xuan Jie lay on the wisteria and thought for a while, feeling a little unsteady, so he turned over and knocked on Cangyu's door, but the other party was fast asleep and didn't respond.Soon Xuan Jie put his hand down, recalled the dream thoughtfully, he walked out slowly, I don't know which boy's emotions still remained in his heart, sorrow and joy, sour like soaking in old age. Among the old vinegar.
He vaguely felt that the feeling at that time was similar to what he experienced when the Nightmare took him away, but he changed from a victim to a perpetrator, and he couldn't react for a while.
If it is someone else's dream, whose dream is it?
Xie Tongyou?Cangyu?Or an unknown person in the entire Yongning City.
Xuan Jie paced around the yard for a while, he had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but the power was completely out of control, and he couldn't decide whether he wanted it or not, whether it was because he ate the soul of the Nightmare Demon, that he called him Got this luck.Xuan Jie doesn't like unknown things, just like he doesn't like to liberate his nature and turn into a wild beast, so he is very irritable for a while, afraid that he will be drawn into a dream for no reason after falling asleep.
The next day it started to rain lightly, Cangyu had a good night's sleep, got up and knocked on Xuanjie's door, he still looked the same.There were umbrellas hanging on the wall of the guest room. After washing, the two each took one and walked towards the center of the lake.
Xie Tongyou took over the rooster's duty to watch the morning. He was playing the flute in the pavilion early in the morning. The rain was lingering, and the wind brought bamboo and stone to play with him. The sound of the flute was quiet and far away, not disturbing.
A little girl was setting out the tea table, opening a food box and serving breakfast layer by layer, porridge and side dishes were all available, she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, she had a very cute bun, she was not afraid of people, looked up Looked at Cangyu and Xuanjie, blinked, and said to Xie Tongyou with a smile: "Master, madam told you to visit her more. I also asked why you asked Youfu to run errands last night. It turned out that it was a banquet." Guest, Madam got angry last night in vain."
Xie Tongyou put down the flute, pondered for a moment and said: "Go back and tell my mother that he won't come again."
Cang Yu heard him playing charades with the maid, and felt a little interesting, but also a little strange, is Xie Tongyou's house usually used to entertain someone his mother doesn't like?
Because of yesterday's conjecture, four words immediately came to Cangyu's mind: "Golden House Cangjiao".
But people have left their pictures and geese have left their marks, here is clean, there is no trace of a woman at all, and immediately thought about the Taoist.
It is absolutely impossible for Xie Tongyou's Taoism to be self-taught. His mother does not want him to become a monk. He probably built this house by himself and used it to socialize with Taoists in private. This also explains why this house is a nine palace formation. .
Cang Yu squinted her eyes and thought about it, and felt that it was very reasonable, he and Xie Tongyou were just friends in terms of wine and meat, they didn't care about life and the future, so they just pretended that they didn't hear it at all.Xuan Jie became even calmer. After putting away his umbrella, he sat down on the edge of the chess game again, probably because he tasted the sweetness of victory last night and wanted to savor it again today.
The master was still talking, of course Cangyu didn't look so blind that he started to eat first, so he simply leaned over to Xuan Jie and asked him what he was doing, Xuan Jie pointed to the endgame and touched a chess piece in his hand, as if he was thinking of breaking the game. Law.
Cangyu didn't see any tricks, but felt that the chess game was very familiar, and just wanted to tease Xuan Jie, who had only learned chess for a day and wanted to challenge the difficulty, but subconsciously looked at Xuan Jie, and suddenly realized that Xie Tongyou put The endgame before the chess game last night has been restored.
After dismissing the little maid, Xie Tongyou stood in place and finished playing the last part of the tune, and then went inside to chat and laugh with them: "The discipline is not strict, if that girl offends something just now, I will look to the two Haihans."
Cangyu and Xuanjie didn't have as many faults and rules as ordinary scholars, so they didn't care, and the three of them sat down to have breakfast together.
The so-called eating without talking and sleeping without talking, the three of them had breakfast and put all the dishes into the food box. Xie Tongyou went to the small stone pit to wash his hands in the cold rain, and came back to play chess with Xuan Jie. There was no pause when the endgame was disassembled, and the chess pieces were quickly cleared, asking Xuan Jie if he wanted to play another game.
Xuan Jie had nothing to do, and the two immediately began to fight.
The whole morning passed, and Xuan Jie lost more than he won, which shows that Xie Tongyou did put a lot of water last night, probably because he was so arrogant that he put his eyes on the clouds to lose.Xuan Jie has never been arrogant or impetuous, but Cangyu was a little impatient to lose. Xie Tongyou played chess slowly and talked to him: "Speaking of which, does Brother Cangyu know the anecdote about Guxu City next door?"
"A true gentleman who plays chess without talking, didn't you say that I disturbed you playing chess last night?" Cangyu blocked him with what he said yesterday, and slowly leaned towards Xuanjie.
Xie Tong smiled and said: "Brother Cangyu is not as magnanimous as Brother Xuanjie. When playing chess, the most taboo is to be impatient. If you get agitated, it is easy to be unfavorable to the battle situation. You must keep calm. Xie knows his words and demeanor, and he knows that if the person sitting across from him is Cang Brother Yu, I'm afraid the chessboard is about to fall on my head now."
Cang Yu thought, I think Xuan Jie is about to get angry after losing, so he still keeps calm?
But Cangyu knew that if she really got angry, it would be unreasonable to make trouble, and she really wanted to smash the chessboard in her heart, and she felt a little embarrassed to be right, so she dealt with him patiently: "What's the funny thing about Guxu City? "
Guxu City has just been raped by Nightmare, so is there anything interesting?Are you ancients too resilient?
"It's said that the whole city is suffering from a nightmare. In the dream, it's like a normal life. It's just that I'm very happy, and I have everything I want, and there is no suffering or worry." Xie Tongyou was distracted talking to Cangyu, and his subordinates sent a Flaws, he seems to be a little concerned about this matter, "I heard that a Taoist went to subdue demons, I don't know if he succeeded, but don't let this nightmare escape to Yong'an City."
Xuan Jie didn't have a gentleman's demeanor, so he took the opportunity to seize this flaw and turn the tables. Seeing this, Xie Tongyou hurriedly shouted: "Oh, brother Cangyu, you are really to blame for this situation!"
Cangyu rolled her eyes angrily, and said calmly, "You don't have to worry, that nightmare is already dead."
"Oh?" Xie Tongyou hugged the chess pot and touched his pieces, surprised, "Really?"
Cangyu said lazily, "Ask Xuanjie, that thing died in his hands."
For some reason, Xie Tongyou's expression seemed a little subtle. After a while, he said slowly, "You two don't look like Taoist priests, do you?"
"Even if we are, the number is not right." Cangyu said calmly, "It's just passing idlers."
Xie Tongyou suddenly realized: "Understood, understood, it was written in the play."
Cangyu felt that he didn't understand.
