Guanqingzhai

Chapter 29 White Sand Inn

Jia has already occupied the gate, and Yigeng has been moving away.Bingxin's kitchen stove has nothing to do with it, and Ding Ren's warehouse should not be repaired...

A group of people walked in the night, no one said a word, but they seemed to be whispering. When these people walked, a strange tone came from among them, like an ancient drama, or like a whispered voice. whimper.The shadows of this group of people under the moon dragged extremely long, and everyone was extremely tired and moved slowly.It seems like a long, long time has passed.

Suddenly the person in the lead stopped in his tracks. The person in the lead had a look of terror in his eyes. He was extremely afraid of the things in front of him. After a roar, the pedestrian disappeared.But the clothes worn by those people appeared on the ground.And there is a small box in the pile of clothes, and the box is empty.

At this time, another old man appeared. He looked very old, but he couldn't tell how old he was. He picked up the boxes, and then staggered towards the distance.The moon in the sky was still bright and clear. The old man looked up at the moon in the sky. He smiled coldly, as if he was laughing at the moon hanging in the sky forever.

Suddenly in front of him were the voices of two women, holding two lanterns in their hands.

The old man was not surprised, and walked towards the two of them slowly, the two of them giggled, and the lantern flickered on and off.As if staring at the eyes of prey in the dark night.

The girl looked at the old man in front of her and said, "It's been a long time, grandma."

The old man pursed his lips and ignored the two women. She walked straight past them. The two women smiled at each other and said, "Grandma, we both have something to ask for."

The old man stopped, and she looked back at the two young girls, with unknown sharpness in her eyes, she said, "I know, what should come will always come."

After finishing speaking, he still ignored the two women and walked forward, and the two did not stop them.

The girl owed her back and gave way. When the lantern in her hand was extinguished, both of them disappeared.

The old man lowered his head and continued to walk, muttering: "Love is deep, but eternal life is ruthless..."

In the restaurant under the moon, add wine and return to the lamp, the sound of the pipa is urgent, and the laughter is drunk and lying on the begonia.In late autumn, the wine shops in the capital are still bustling, and pawns and peddlers can drink a cup for a few copper coins.Although there is no luxurious luxury, it is the most original appearance of the market.

"Is what you said true?"

"Hey, believe it or not, I'm just telling you anyway."

"I take it seriously, you can't lie to me."

"Amitabha, monks don't lie."

"Your Excellency is...a Taoist priest..."

Hu Yue drank the wine in his hand and added: "If you are driving a crane, I will also find someone from the Taoist sect to do things for you."

Xuan Mingzi waved his hand and said: "Bah, bah, bad luck. If you don't believe me, then don't go. Anyway, I've only told you about this matter, so you should pretend that you didn't listen, and I didn't say anything either. Of course, I am the only one who can enjoy this great gift, but sincerity is a gift from God."

Seeing that Xuan Mingzi got up and was about to leave, Hu Yue hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and said, "Hey, my friend... well said, why are you leaving now? Come, have a drink or two."

After finishing speaking, he hastily added wine to his glass, the wine could become turbid at any time, but after a few shakes, the aroma of the wine overflowed, Xuan Mingzi rubbed his stomach and sat back, he wiped his bearded chin and said: "If this is true, then we old brothers will get mad. What I seek is rare treasures in the world, but what you seek... is no longer something that rare treasures can achieve. I It can only be said that it is possible, but it may not be true. Because you can always find what you want there.”

Hu Yue looked at Xuan Mingzi's tact, he was still hesitating, while Xuan Mingzi looked at him and said: "Seeing you are so hesitant, are you going to do it alone? Old fox, you take that person for everything. General Bingtian, why are you hiding the things you care about the most from him now?"

Hu Yue shook her hand and said, "I just don't want to borrow other people's hands for this matter."

Xuan Mingzi drank his wine and shook his head and said: "If you tell your good friend about this, maybe he can help you a lot. Why are you unwilling to speak out about this matter alone? You still refuse to reveal it until now. Let us old friends know every little bit, I really don't know what you are looking for?"

Hu Yue gritted her teeth and said, "There are times when you can't bother others. At this time, the fewer people who know, the better. After you die, only I will know about this matter. It's lucky."

The boss Xuan Mingzi said unhappily: "You're being hypocritical again. Why do you sound like you're expecting me to die soon? I said, old fox, don't you think that Chu Jue has already noticed this?"

Hu Yue smiled slightly and said, "So what? As long as he doesn't get involved, he won't have anything to do with it. My relationship with him hasn't reached such a deep level."

Xuan Mingzi sneered and said: "Not deep? I think you have some concern for him, not to mention other things, how long have you lived in this Guanqingzhai? According to the usual, you have already changed places, and now you still keep going I don't even have any plans. And... I already know the identity of Uncle Chu... He is a great man, the current Wei Wuhou, who has been passed down from generation to generation, and is in charge of sacrifices. No wonder he has that ruler in his hand. It's hard to understand why the officials have to give him some face, but Wei Wuhou's title of aristocratic family is still a bit weird, as if...has a secret that no one knows."

Hu Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Xuan Mingzi and said, "No wonder you haven't seen Your Excellency these days, so I went to touch the bottom line of others."

Xuan Mingzi said: "Like you, I am also a curious person. This matter cannot be found out in a short time. As for the matter of this inn, anyway, you know what I know, and you may know what I don't know." Already know it."

Xuan Mingzi drank the last wine in his cup, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "The location and time are all written here, come if you figure it out."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Hu Yue and said: "Old fox, I am one of your few old friends. I don't want you to disappear into the world all of a sudden. Just like my friendship with you is like a dream. The same is over. When the alcohol addiction kicks in, I can't find a drinking buddy, which is a pity."

Seeing that Hu Yue was silent, he wiped his arm and said, "Forget it, the more you drink, the colder you get. I don't know if it's getting colder this day. I feel that my arm is starting to feel a little cold. Let's stop here for today."

After saying this, Xuan Mingzi staggered out of the wine shop, still without a lantern, walked alone in the night, and disappeared into the night.

Hu Yue drank the wine with a smile, opened the paper in his hand, and there was a willow leaf wrapped in it, and there was only one line written on the paper: follow the waves and the moon, when the water flows.

Hu Yue grinned: "What a master of Canmei."

Another mystery.

Hu Yue put the origami in his arms, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it alone outside the window.

As for the answer to this mystery, Hu Yue already had the answer in his heart.

It's just that the previous conversation with Xuan Mingzi resurfaced in his mind, "Don't you think that Chu Jue has already noticed this?"

Hu Yue laughed at himself, of course he had thought about it, but no matter what, he was the only one involved in this matter. Xuan Mingzi only knew that Hu Yue was looking for something, but he didn't know the real reason.There is no second person in this world who can understand the whole story of that matter like him.And it was because he knew the whole thing that he became Hu Yue now.Like a dream, it remains in the world as illusory.

Hu Yue closed his eyes, and frowned in a rare way, as if the mirror lake was wrinkled by the wind.

But when he opened his eyes again, there was neither wind nor rain, and his expression was still calm and breezy, as if the emotions in his heart were like water that could not gather.Hu Yue didn't drink anymore, he slowly raised his hands and walked back.

There is no wind or cloud tonight, and the moon is too bright, making the original stars invisible.

Hu Yue stumbled all the way back, humming the tunes he had composed for those singers along the way.

He looked up and found an old woman standing in front of him at this time. The old woman appeared suddenly. Hu Yue didn't notice anyone in front of him before. Stay."

Hu Yue stopped in her tracks, bowed slightly and said, "Old lady, do you need me?"

The old woman looked at Hu Yue and said, "The old man has come to inform you that a catastrophe is imminent."

Hu Yue stood up straight, still smiling and said, "Oh, I'm in trouble?"

The old woman stared at Hu Yue's eyes. Her eyes were very slender, and she could barely see the eyeballs clearly, but they were still very sharp. She said, "Don't go into some things, it's not good for you."

Hu Yue was still smiling, he nodded and said, "Thank you old lady for your reminder, Yue Zi should be careful."

Seeing that he didn't care, the old woman sneered and added: "Forget about that cloud."

Hu Yue looked up in astonishment, but the old woman had disappeared, as if she had never appeared before, Hu Yue repeated: "Yun..."

He clutched his forehead, as if something had flowed out of his mind, but he couldn't remember it at all.

Hu Yue looked at her hands and said, "What the hell does Yun mean?"

Hu Yue clutched his forehead and walked forward, not knowing where he was going. There seemed to be a lot of things rolling in his mind, but he couldn't feel it at all. He just felt a splitting headache. He took out the wine jug on his waist and drank it down suddenly. He drank the wine in big gulps, regardless of whether he was choking on it or not.

Finally, the pain in his head was covered by the alcohol, he sat down on the side of the street and looked at Haoyue in the sky with a smile: "Ah, what an ugly..."

Hu Yue had already arrived at Guanqing Zhai in a daze. There was no light in the house, which meant that Chu Jue was not inside. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He closed the door and entered the house. After lighting the lamp, he sat on a stool. Such a person guarded the lamp How long has it been since you sat alone at night?He has long lost track of it.

He stretched his hands into his sleeves, and with his head down, he seemed to be asleep, but also seemed to be thinking.Slowly, he found that there was a piece of clothing draped over his body, and he turned around with a smile and said, "Yun..."

The other party tilted her head slightly, and Hu Yue saw that it was Chu Jue. Chu Jue said, "Even though it's not winter, it's already frosted. Brother, you have to learn how to take care of yourself."

Hu Yue stared at Chu Jue in a daze. He wrapped his clothes and said, "It's nothing, just sober up. If you drink too much, you won't catch a cold under the strength of alcohol."

Hu Yue looked up at Chu Jue, Chu Jue looked a bit tired, as if she came here after finishing her work.He said: "It's nothing, Brother Chu doesn't have to rush here so hard, and I won't sneak away..."

Chu Jue was sitting on the stool opposite to him, and he had already pushed a cup of hot tea over, he said with an oh: "It seems that Brother Xian wants to leave without saying goodbye?"

Hu Yue shook her head and said, "Where there, you can have a free source in the capital, and you can drink good wine from time to time, which is much better than living in a ruined temple."

Chu Jue didn't talk to him, but just smiled.Seeing that Chu Jue didn't make a statement, Hu Yue didn't explicitly keep him, nor did he explicitly refuse to stay. This casualness was also one of the reasons why Hu Yue Ansheng stayed here for so long.

Hu Yue saw that he was silent, but he couldn't continue. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he picked up the teacup and blew on the tea, and the aroma of the tea came to his face.At this time, Chu Jue said: "Although Mu Zhi has always said that he is like a rootless duckweed, he also said that he can't use affection to others, so this place is also named Guanqingzhai, but in the world of mortals, how can we not be so lonely?" Is it dusty?"

Hu Yue shrank her shoulders, as if she didn't hear what he said, but Chu Jue seldom called him in such a serious manner.Hu Yue chuckled, and Chu Jue continued: "Whether you want to live here or not, I don't care about it, and I never expect you to respond when I'm by your side. can settle down, and there will be no roots there.”

Hu Yue grinned and said, "Brother Chu, why did you suddenly mention this?"

Chu Jue closed his eyes and said: "Following the waves and the moon, when the curved water flows, the first half of the sentence is Du Mu's sentence at Baishayi, and the second sentence means time. When the curved water flows, it is the third day of March every year." But the third day of March has already passed, so this time is not that time, the Baisha Inn in the East Bridge is the place. And the third day of March does not refer to the date, but the time. The combination of three and three makes six, two The combination of yang and yin is a technique of yin and yang, and corresponding to the number of celestial stems and earthly branches, it is Bingri and Yinshi."

Hu Yue opened her eyes wide and said, "Why are you..."

Chu Jue replied with a piece of paper between his fingers: "Because Xuan Mingzi also gave this to me. He said that there is something you want to find here."

Hu Yue scratched his hair, he shrugged and said, "Brother Chu, Brother Chu, it won't do you any harm if you don't meddle in this matter."

Chu Jue still looked at Hu Yue, his eyes did not waver, and he said, "Then what if I intervene?"

Hu Yue said: "I don't know the result, and I'm not sure. Maybe you, a high-ranking Marquis, will be unlucky with poor commoners like me."

Chu Jue laughed, looked at Hu Yue with raised eyebrows and said, "Your brother, are you concerned about my safety?"

Hu Yue also smiled, but did not answer. Chu Jue said: "The Baisha Station, which should be called the Baisha Inn now, has been destroyed by fire 20 years ago. But why did Xuan Mingzi still point out this place? The station is because of that The fire also involved a remarkable case. Under the ashes of the original ruins, many human bones were buried, and people in the government said that all the bones were children under the age of one. It alarmed the government and the public, but after that, it suddenly became calm and there was no clue to investigate."

Hu Yue folded her hands and folded her chest, lowered her head and said, "Recently there is indeed a rumor that someone saw the appearance of the Baisha Inn, which should have long since disappeared, and also saw the shopkeeper who died in the fire long ago. .And there is a saying that people who have been there can find what they are looking for, and they can get it back without paying a penny. It must be called a strange story.”

Chu Jue put the note in front of Hu Yue, and said with a smile: "Why do people who have died long ago reappear, and... why do people like Xuan Mingzi, who don't see fish and don't cast nets, let you go there?" ? There must be a reason for it."

Hu Yue said: "I naturally thought of this point, but I am also looking for something. It is also a fish that is about to be hooked."

Chu Jue snorted, Hu Yue frowned and said, "You don't ask me what it is?"

Chu Jue said: "You can say what you want, but now I just want to know one thing."

Hu Yue looked at Chu Jue, and he asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

Chu Jue asked earnestly, "You probably won't drive me away tonight."

Hu Yue looked at the streamer in Chu Jue's eyes, his face was very close, Chu Jue smiled slightly, seeing Hu Yue's expression of embarrassment, as if teasing, but also kissing his lips as if flattering, both of them Under the moonlight, such an intimate posture of a person seems extraordinarily blurred and ambiguous.Chu Jue's teasing light kiss at first became more lingering and deep with the entanglement of their tongues.Chu Jue guided Hu Yue, and put two fingers on Hu Yue's chin, making him look up towards him.Hu Yue was not used to this, but because he couldn't resist for a while, he was almost led by the nose by Chu Jue.The original thoughts were disturbed by such a kiss and could not continue.

When he came back to his senses, Chu Jue had already untied his bun, and his black hair was draped over his shoulders.He hurriedly turned his body sideways, pushed the other person away and said, "Yes, and I have to go too."

Chu Jue asked with a dark face, "Why? Where are you going?"

Hu Yue tapped the piece of paper, and said with a smile: "Since we are going to be a fish that is going to be baited, we have to see whether the bait is real." Chu Jue smiled and said, "That's exactly the case, as expected of a good brother , really make the best use of people.”

Hu Yue tidied her hair and clothes, curled her lips and said, "One moment and another, since Brother Chu is a brave man, naturally we can't waste your great resource. I can only talk about the matter I investigated I myself have only sporadic impressions, but I am the only one who still knows about it.”

Chu Jue was also a little unhappy, he murmured: "Hey, just say one more word of affection and affection?"

Hu Yue stood up and said, "So it's still the old rules?"

Chu Jue said, "Old rules."

Taking advantage of the darkness, the two left Guanqing Zhai again and closed the door.However, there was still movement in Guanqing Zhai, and the originally dark room was suddenly lit with candles.There was a shadow of a man in the window.After the candlelight flickered, it returned to pitch black.
