Wind and rain

(fourteen)

Bai Li Dengfeng returned to the room, turning over on the bed.He looked up to see the light coming from the windows of the west wing, knowing that the man hadn't stopped yet.After tossing and turning for a long time, he forced himself to close his eyes, silently mobilizing his inner strength.A few weeks later, there was a "poof" on the other side, and after a while, it returned to calm.Baili Dengfeng used his internal energy for a few more weeks before slowly falling asleep.Although he has been running around for days, his mood has been ups and downs, but his internal strength has not dropped, but has improved a lot, and now he can even hear the slightest voice from the opposite side, but he is full of thoughts in his mind, and he doesn't feel it under the turmoil. Yu Tong lost his internal strength, and his actions were not as easy as before.But he didn't want to think that even if his breathing was a little heavier than before, how could such things as taking off his clothes and blowing on the lamp make any big noises?

the next day.main room.

"Daddy Jia lived here before." Yan Lingjiao led them into the Ming Room, "The east and west rooms are all study rooms, the east room stores martial arts, and the west room stores poetry and books."

Baili Dengfeng looked around, and there was a climbing map hanging in the middle hall, which showed the top of the mountain and the rising sun.There is a pair of couplets hanging on both sides, and it is written that "the breeze lifts up the pines and cypresses, and the lingering air lifts up the haze".In front of the screen wall is a table with rosewood cloud and bat pattern, and the pattern of "five bats holding longevity" is embossed on the teeth.On the east side of the case, there is a vase with famille rose landscape and lion ears, on the west side is a mirror screen with cold plum and primrose porcelain, and in the middle is a copper censer with four-legged Kui dragon pattern.In front of the table is a square table with the same bat pattern and ivory carvings with four corners and eight corners to make bats, which are as agile as flying.On both sides of the square table are armchairs with golden silk Nan backs, and the back of the board is embossed with unicorn patterns.There are eight red sandalwood fan-shaped south official hat chairs in the front row, four on each side.The layout is solemn and grand, and it is expected that all meetings and meetings will be held in this hall.

Yan Lingjiao took out the key and handed it to the two of them: "If there is any forbidden place in this mansion, it is the study room. Father Jia used to stay there for half a day, but he rarely allowed us to go in. If he and his sister wanted to read, he had to take it out. If he went out of the house, he would lock the door and not let others in.

"After I came back, I found the previous key and tried it last night. Fortunately, it still works." Yan Lingjiao smiled slightly, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Baili Dengfeng held the key in his hand, and couldn't help but feel emotional.The so-called "martial arts are not passed on externally" has now become a rule.Only a few disciples are allowed to enter the study building of ordinary martial arts halls, let alone a large sect like Jiafu, so they must be very cautious about this.He searched for rhetoric, but he couldn't find a word of thanks that could bear such weight.Yan Lingjiao saw him indifferently, and smiled sweetly: "Brother Dengfeng, you don't need to thank me. Ling Jiao will go elsewhere to see if there are any clues."

"She really is a woman who values ​​affection." Shan Yutong sighed with his hands behind his back, but seeing Baili Dengfeng as if he had never heard of it, he just lowered his head and put the key in his arms. The puppy who came here has grown up, but always wants to leave him to find the original owner.The topic changed, "It's a pity that today is different. Even if brother Baili is interested in Luohua, I'm afraid Miss Yan is also ruthless." After finishing speaking, without looking at him, he walked quickly towards the east side.

Bai Li Dengfeng looked at Shan Yutong's back, because he walked in a hurry, his blue hair slightly raised back, revealing a red earlobe.He didn't know whether to cry or laugh in his heart, but he felt faintly happy.Yesterday was like death yesterday, not to mention Ling Jiao, he was not the same as before.He wanted to find an opportunity to explain, but felt that the person should know him, so he finally ran after him.

Over the lattice door with rhombic pattern and Ruyi pattern, a picture of "Dwelling in the Autumn Mountains" is facing you, hanging on the wall screen.Under the painting, there is an elm wooden table with fret pattern and leg stretching, a red porcelain vase with the picture of osmanthus and cranes in the glaze at each end, a three-legged iron tripod with gluttony pattern in the middle, and a floor lamp with lotus flowers on the left and right.In the middle hall, there is a red sandalwood flower-and-bird lattice round table, on which there is a set of silver-glazed Jianzhan, and the coefficient of the teacup is reversed.A wooden kang is placed on the north wall, and a basket of female workers' needlework is placed on the waist-tied kang table. Half of the peonies are not finished embroidering on the embroidery frame.The kang is covered with stone green kang felt, and the autumn-scented strips are used as pillows to guide the pillows.On the west side of the kang, there is a beech wood pedal with phoenix pattern, and the tassels around the kang are dragged on it, scattered freely.

"I thought that Mrs. A was like her two apprentices, but I didn't expect that she is really a beautiful woman." Bai Li Dengfeng looked around, although he didn't know the source of the indoor things, he could tell that they were flowers. Arranged with a lot of thought.

"Elegance is fine, but as for character," Shan Yutong sneered, "Even if the prodigal son turns back, or even dies in his youth, he will only be reaping the consequences. Brother Baili has too much sympathy."

"..." Baili Dengfeng's thoughts were broken by him. Although his words were correct, they were too straightforward, which made people sigh.He sighed secretly, but heard the man say: "Let's go to the study to have a look."

Behind the screen wall is also a row of lattice fans, with a colorful butterfly and flower lock on the middle.Baili Dengfeng put the key into the lockhole and turned it a few times, then pushed the door open and went in.In the house, I saw a square table with dragonfly legs in huanghuali, and a chair with a begonia official hat in its early years.On the table, there is a pen hanging, a brush grid, an end inkstone, a wool painting felt, a pile of rice paper and a book lamp beside it.Behind the table is a three-layer red sandalwood cabinet with bright grids. The door and drawer panels are all embossed with Ganoderma lucidum and peony patterns, and the corner teeth on three sides are filled with curly grass patterns.Tablets are listed on the shelf of the cabinet, and potted orchids are placed on the west end of the middle floor. Because no one takes care of them, the flowers and leaves are all withered and drooping.Under the south window is a mahogany bed with drum legs and Pengya style, with curved ruler screens on three sides.The bed is not made of ordinary matting, but is made of tiger skin, but it has not been taken care of for a long time, and the color has become dull.On the head of the bed is a small coffee table with three curved legs and cloud pattern, on which is a jug with sauce glaze and golden apricot leaves, and a cup with lotus pattern branches.The wine stains in the cup were not washed, and there was a circle of white marks on the wall.There are also windows on the east wall, but now they are closed together with the south windows, so the room is not so bright.And because the tables, chairs and bed lattices were all covered with dust, it looked even more hazy.

Baili Dengfeng walked in, and there were many and miscellaneous letters on the shelf.He took out a few books and flipped through them, most of them were foreign martial arts such as fist and palm, as well as art of war such as "Six Secret Teachings" and "Three Strategies".Considering his identity as an outsider, he shouldn't read more, but he was afraid of missing the clue, so he held up the book and hesitated.

"Go to the west ear room." Shan Yutong put the book back as it was and clapped his hands with gloves on.

"But in case..."

"This place should be used by Jia Zizhi." Shan Yutong wrinkled her nose, resisting the urge to sneeze, "If you were her, even if you were as close as a husband and wife, would you hide things like secret books in each other's place?"

"..." Baili Dengfeng was silent, but he said in his heart, "If it's really me, of course I will."

"If there is no one in the west, it will not be too late to come back." Seeing that he was still standing there, Shan Yutong raised his lips and smiled at him, then turned and went out.

The two returned to Mingjian along the original road, and there was a row of the same lattice door on the west side.The layout of the house is similar to that on the east side. There is a running script hanging on the wall screen, which is Li Bai's "Climbing the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling".The signature is printed with a painting, and an orchid is painted with cinnabar.A huanghuali moon-hole canopy bed is attached to the wall, and the hanging edge of the wall is carved with twining patterns, which is exquisite and rich.Under the dark-colored tent, there is a soft pillow with folded quilts. In front of the bed, there is a round grass and dragon-patterned ottoman, and the roller is decorated with lotus leaf and carp patterns.There is a huanghuali six-legged round table in the front, with curved edges like waves.There is a set of Yingqing tea set on the table, and several red sandalwood seats with porcelain surface are placed around the ground. There are two string patterns on it, and the waist is sandwiched in the middle.Along the wall, there are also lattice kang cabinets not to mention.There is a light fragrance floating in the room, it is said to be sandalwood but it is sweeter, it is indeed from the furniture for a long time.Baili Dengfeng knew that this was the master bedroom, and said: "This room is so well preserved, if there is no dust, it is unbelievable that the door was destroyed."

Shan Yutong's lips moved, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, like a withered leaf falling on the water, and slowly swaying with the ripples.Youyou opened his mouth and said: "The past is irreversible. What happened today may seem like a dream in the future." He turned his eyes to Baili Dengfeng, "Brother Baili once said this on Juying Mountain in the past. You have persuaded Shan, but now you want Shan to release Brother Baili?"

Bai Li Dengfeng's heart relaxed, and he could hear a bit of joking in his words, and this point made Shan Yutong more and more like him.

The two walked to the ear room, Baili Dengfeng opened the door lock as before, and saw that the size of this room was similar to that of the east side, but the layout was more elaborate, and it also had the atmosphere of a boudoir.In the middle of the room, there is a huanghuali round table with five-legged folding columns. On the Yumen hole, there is a zigzag-shaped pot door, embossed with red phoenix and rising sun patterns.On the table is a set of Ru kiln tea sets, the cups and pots are all gilt and patterned, making the white porcelain look like jade.There is a huanghuali pier with five openings on the side, and five small feet are protruding to support it, which is not too bulky but also dexterous.There is a huanghuali wall table with mantis legs under the west window, and a huge peony is carved on the front of the mouth. The two sides are lined with Ruizhi, and the sparrow is also made wide. meticulous.There is a blue and white plum vase on the table, the body of which is painted with turquoise and plantain.There are still flowering branches in the mouth of the bottle, and a few withered flowers are crumpled into a ball, hanging on it, and they haven't fallen off yet.There is a paulownia fuxiqin hanging on the wall, and the lacquer has broken lines, which can be seen for some years.Now the tung board is dusty and the strings are loose.Below it is a red sandalwood qin table with two volumes in the north-south direction, and a square stool with tube feet of the same quality without a waist is placed under the table.Behind the qin table, there are two person-high railing racks side by side. The upper two layers are for letters, and the lower layer is for scrolls, all neatly stacked.In front of the shelf, there is a beech wood clip tenon painting table, which is matched with a beech rose chair, and the three sides of the coupon are carved with flowing cloud patterns.A painting felt is spread on the painting table, with a jade ring and red sandalwood Zhaowen belt on each side. In front of the felt is a four-hole pen screen of boxwood with a marble heart, and jade tubes are inserted in the holes.A pair of double-sided pine wood pens are hung side by side, and the two corners are raised like butterfly wings.There are both soft and hard hairs hanging on them, and the poles are hanging down.On one side is a Longquan pen holder, a white jade magpie bridge pen holder, a Duanxi inkstone, a court official ink, and a four-volume lotus leaf brush wash.On the other side, there is a thin book lamp, a carved lacquer incense, and dozens of white porcelain painting plates.Under the north window, there is an Arhat bed surrounded by red sandalwood tape ring boards. At the head of the bed is a table with red camphor claws and a pot of cattails.

Baili Dengfeng went forward to look through it, there was a complete collection of scriptures and history on the shelf, although the books were old, they were not stained, obviously the original owner was very clean and cherished.He took out a scroll and opened it, and on it was a picture of "Lady Burning Incense". In the painting, the woman has slender eyebrows and eyes, burning incense and worshiping the moon.The inscription on the side is "When the wild goose character returns, the moon is full on the West Tower".Signed more than [-] years ago, and a cinnabar painted orchid monogram.He opened a few more, either words or paintings, all of which were painted with the same orchid as a pledge. Looking closely at the time and date, they were all completed more than [-] years ago.

"These calligraphy and paintings, together with the one just now, must have been made by Mrs. Jia. I just don't know if the woman in this painting is herself?"

"Based on common sense, it is." Shan Yutong glanced at it, his brushwork was beautiful and imposing.It's just that the age is long and the paper is yellow. Although the woman in the painting is unparalleled in beauty, it makes people sigh as a beauty.He pulled out the window bolt, and the sunlight shone in. Although the jade tube pen on the pen screen had been left dusty for a long time, under the light, it seemed to be covered with a layer of golden velvet, revealing some warmth.

Shan Yutong stepped forward suddenly, took out a jade-tube pen in the middle, looked at it carefully against the light, then took out the other pens, and turned them upside down in his palm one by one.Immediately, he grabbed the original lanyard and pulled it out, pulling out a thin iron bar from the pen holder.

"This..." Baili Dengfeng was surprised, the pen shaft was actually hollow.The iron bar is about an inch long, the surface is smooth and rust-free, with intricate lines chiseled faintly, and it shines black under the light, like a small sword.

"It should be a key." Shan Yutong thought, "I just don't know where the lock is?"

He took Baili Dengfeng from his hand, and the lines on it were layer upon layer, deep and shallow.Slightly distinguished, it looks like a blossoming peony, just in bloom.Zan said: "This craftsman is very artistic, and a key should be engraved with peonies, and he can play such tricks."

"Oh? In my opinion, it looks like Ganoderma lucidum." Shan Yutong smiled slightly. "The lines are probably not just for decoration, and the creators may not be pure craftsmen."

Baili Dengfeng looked at it again, the pattern was complex and complicated, if it was Zhi pattern, he said with a smile: "It is indeed somewhat similar."

The smile on the corner of Shan Yutong's mouth paused, and his eyes swept across the wall table leaning against the wall like lightning.Under the blooming peonies, there is a short slit left.He took the key and inserted it through the gap, and there was a slight vibration at the end, and the iron piece seemed to be locked by two machine springs.He lifted it up, and there was a slight "click" sound from inside, and the coupon opened a narrow gap from the table.

Shan Yutong and Baili Dengfeng looked at each other, and stretched out their hands to open the hidden drawer.Its depth is no more than an inch, and it fits right into the center of the board.There are two books side by side in the drawer, one is called "Even Fragrance Collection" and the other is called "Even Fragrance Collection".The former is ancient, like the former dynasty; the latter looks newer, but it is also [-] years old.Shan Yutong took it out carefully, and saw the word "Shu Feng" written on the title page of "Wan Xiang Ji", which contained the key points of Yin Fenglian and Jin Quhan's mind.He was overjoyed, and read in the book that Yinfenglian uses poison to control his opponents, Jin Quhan is similar to him, and needs to cooperate with the unique poison "Fenyi".And the characteristics of Fenyi recorded in the book are exactly the same as what Xuanshuang said.After Shan Yutong finished reading, she covered the scroll and sighed: "With Lou Yingxiu's current skill, even if Master Heigong came in person, he might not be able to catch her a few tricks."

Baili Dengfeng glanced through it hastily, and saw a familiar monogram painted on "Wan Xiang Ji Zhu". The book not only wrote about the experience and path of cultivating Yin Fenglian, but also briefly mentioned the anecdote of the sect.The patriarch Shufeng and Kuanglan had an old affair. The two were originally sisters from the same family.Later, when Kuanglan got married, Shufeng was greatly stimulated, his temperament changed drastically, and he created Yinfeng Love to take revenge on men all over the world.After Kuang Lan's death, she was extremely grief-stricken, and tried her best to create a brocade quilt to seek revenge from Li Rong.It's a pity that Ji passed away before he could practice.On his deathbed, he asked his disciples to set up a women's school to provide a shelter for women all over the world.The disciple thought of his life, so he named the sect "Lianxianghui" to honor his ambition.And although the Yinfenglian she created has been practiced by her disciples one after another, because of her obscenity, she has never been able to become a prominent school.

"It is said in this book that because Jin Quhan's cultivation process was too strange, the successors either died when they left their souls, or they were afraid of the danger and gave up their thoughts. As a result, no one has practiced it in the past 300 years." Baili Dengfeng paused for a moment, and couldn't help asking again, "Although the Jin Que Han Kung Fu exists, it is really lost. How do you know how high Lou Yingxiu has practiced?"

"Back then, Master Li Ku had cultivated the skill of ten heavy mountains. Since Jin Quehan was trying to restrain him, if he practiced to the extreme, he might have ten heavy waters."

"This..." Baili Dengfeng was speechless for a moment, but he heard the man say again: "I only hope that Yu is safe and well, and the rest..." The following words disappeared into a sigh, and finally disappeared.

They went out and told Yan and Liang what they had gained, and all the listeners were silent.During lunch, the collision of bowls and chopsticks was clearly audible.

The sun is setting in the west.

Baili Dengfeng paced back and forth in the room, his mind was disturbed, so he went out for a walk in the back garden.It was early summer, and the rose roses were in full bloom in the courtyard, and the pool water was like a piece of jasper, trembling with the wind, and also smelling drunk.He walked slowly along the pebble corridor, turned around the rockery, and a small pavilion with four corners came into view.Among the sparse bamboos, there is a person standing on the railing.The man turned his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes just met Baili Dengfeng.

"This flower blooms just right, I can't bear to let you down." Baili Dengfeng knew that the person in front of him was not in the mood to appreciate the flowers, and he also knew that consolation was useless, but these words seemed to be very leisurely, and he immediately regretted it.

Shan Yutong smiled slightly: "The vegetation is plentiful, the flowers and leaves are luxuriant. It's so smoky, how can I bear to be lonely?" The setting sun drew a layer of gold on his body, and the bamboo poles swayed with the wind, and the shadows reflected on his face, mottled and mottled .

Baili Dengfeng was at a loss for such a reaction.He said embarrassingly: "Is the poison you are poisoned really burning clothes?"

"If you're talking about the tantrum of poison, it's probably true." Shan Yutong's eyes stopped on Baili Dengfeng, and the shadow of the man opposite was reflected in his golden blue eyes. As far as toxicology is concerned, it can be said to be in the same line." His eyes darkened, "It's a pity that although there is a formula for burning clothes in "Evening Fragrance Collection", there is no solution."

"I read in "Wanxiang Jizhu" that there was a senior who was proficient in medicine in the door who refined the antidote. Mrs. Jia happened to be able to store it in an ice jade bottle and it could be stored for thousands of years." If it still exists in Jiafu, how can it be No……"

"In the past 300 years, no one has ever practiced brocade quilt cold. Even if such an immortal genius as Shufeng, I'm afraid he doesn't know how poisonous the burning clothes are, let alone his descendants?" Shan Yutong sighed, "Even if you can practice it The medicine may have little effect."

Seeing Baili Dengfeng's gloomy expression, he suddenly smiled narrowly: "It's a pity that you are no longer the body of Chongyang, why don't I share a portion of Yang energy with you, and you will have a better chance of winning in the future."

Baili Dengfeng saw that there was a bit of seriousness hidden in his eyes, and he was shocked: "Brother Shan, don't make such plans. If you are not here, call me... tell me how..." He didn't know how to say the following words up.

Shan Yutong looked at him with a silent sigh in his eyes.If he left a ray of yang energy to protect his life for the rest of his life, even if he died soon, he would definitely have no regrets.

The evening breeze is coming, bringing a little coolness.When he looked up, the light was gone, and a crescent moon was hanging slantingly in the western sky.

"it's dark."

Baili Dengfeng only heard Youyou sigh in his ears.Shan Yutong withdrew his gaze: "The night is cool and dew heavy, you should go back to your room earlier." After saying that, he bypassed him and left.

Baili Dengfeng watched Xiao Shu's back fade away, and the evening wind blew his hair back like weeping willows.The white clothes flashed behind the arch, and then disappeared.The slanting moon hangs low in the sky, and the flowing clouds pass by. The thin moon hides in the clouds for a while, and finally falls.Then there was only darkness all around.

The next day.

Baili Dengfeng woke up as usual, and heard the sound of breathing on the other side was still there, so he crossed his legs in the room for a while.A stick of incense passed, breathing was as steady as before, but there was no other sound.Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, Shan Yutong always got up early, why was he so abnormal today?Immediately went out, knocked on Shan Yutong's door, and asked: "It's not early, can Brother Shan get up?"

There was a soft sound inside, and the man seemed to sigh.Immediately came a sentence: "Come in."

Bai Li Dengfeng pushed the door open and entered, the room was dark, the curtain had not yet been drawn, a few rays of sunlight followed him into the room.Shan Yutong was leaning against the head of the bed in his pajamas, and when he saw him coming in, he smiled wryly and said as if sighing, "I can't move my legs."
