Guanqingzhai

Zuo Yiqi turned his gaze, but then readily agreed: "My lord, please tell me, if you can work hard, the student is obliged to do so."

Hu Yue asked: "I want you to trap Chu Jue, he must not come to Guanqingzhai tomorrow."

Zuo Yiqi was silent for a long time, and finally looked up at Hu Yue and said, "Master, this... I'm afraid it's not something a student can do."

Hu Yue said: "Sir, I misunderstood. I don't care whether you can really drag Chu Jue out, but just want you to hold him back."

Zuo Yiqi tilted his head slightly, and he asked, "He's Lord Hou, and the student is just a little teacher, son, do you think highly of the student?"

Hu Yue said: "No, I just need someone to tell him a word."

A trace of doubt flashed in Zuo Yiqi's eyes, Hu Yue touched the back of his neck, and explained: "Just tell him that Hu Yueren is not in Guanqingzhai."

Zuo Yiqi asked, "What do you mean?"

Hu Yue said: "Don't worry about it. If you ask the reason, he can get the truth out of your mouth. Even you don't know the truth. Then he has the possibility of being fooled."

Zuo Yiqi smiled embarrassingly, and declined: "Although the student really wants to help the young master, but because he interfered in some matters at the beginning, he has already offended Lord Hou very much. I can’t afford to eat it.”

Hu Yue said: "Don't worry, everything you are doing now is to save the life of your family's marquis, not for me, a grassroots."

Zuo Yiqi said calmly: "In Lord Hou's heart, the life of your son is more important than the life of a country."

Hu Yue remained silent, Zuo Yiqi remained silent, and the two looked at each other, as if they were probing and thinking.In the end, Zuo Yiqi cupped his hands and bowed deeply, saying: "I will try my best, if it is really for the sake of protecting Lord Hou."

Hu Yue nodded slightly, Zuo Yiqi walked forward sideways, Hu Yue still stood still, after Zuo Yiqi left, Hu Yue covered his mouth and began to laugh, he said to himself: "My life is counted again!" What happened? My life alone...is just a joke."

Hu Yue clutched his arm, he looked back and said, "Are you still there?"

The woman in red stood behind him, holding a black paper umbrella in her hand. She couldn't see her eyebrows, nor did she know what her expression was like at this time.However, her voice was cold and heartless, and she said, "I just came to see how many things you remembered."

Hu Yue turned his head and walked towards the woman face to face, but the woman backed away, keeping a distance from Hu Yue all the time.

She said, "You know my purpose."

Hu Yue said, "Do you know why there are cloud curses?"

She smiled sadly and said, "How could I not know? But this is also my trump card, isn't it?"

Hu Yue said: "The curse of the cloud will come back."

She shook slightly, but still said coldly: "So what?"

Hu Yue said, "You're just using Xuan Mingzi."

She said: "So what? Isn't he using me? We use each other, but for the same purpose."

Hu Yue said: "I can give you one more chance, let go, and leave."

She said: "The function of the life and death talisman to you is not only to restore all your memories, but also to reset the time that was previously stagnant. How do you want to face it now? My good brother."

Hu Yue frowned slightly, he didn't speak, turned around and walked away, at the moment when the two of them were separated, he stopped and said: "Mengling... You must know that your death is not my responsibility, you have to blame for all of this , and I don't feel guilty at all for your reasons. You know, I don't care about it at all."

After Hu Yue finished speaking, he left.The woman was still holding the umbrella, and she turned her head to look at Hu Yueyuan's back: "This time, I see how you can save it. You are just a pawn. Also, will you really fall in love with him? Or This is also your plan? Hu Yue, Hu Yue, you are a person without emotion, do you know that? You are more cold-blooded than anyone else!"

Hu Yue stopped in the distance. He didn't look back, but just said: "So what? Who is not a pawn?"

When Hu Yue returned to Guanqing Zhai, it was already evening, and he was carrying two wine jugs and a food box in his hand.Walking all the way back, sure enough, at the gate of Guanqing Zhai, two ghost girls stood side by side like door gods, Hu Yue laughed and said to them: "You two have worked hard."

Yan'er snorted coldly, turned her head away to ignore Hu Yue, Liu'er still said coldly, "This woman hasn't gone out all this time."

Hu Yue asked: "Has anyone been here? Whether it's a person or something else."

Liu Er said: "No, no one came here except you, including Chu Jue."

Hu Yue frowned slightly, Liu'er didn't let go of his look, and said, "Is it different from what you think? If he doesn't come within three days, what should you do? What should you do if he comes?"

Hu Yue glanced at the two ghost girls each, and then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Both women were taken aback, Yan'er said: "We don't need to eat food from the world."

Hu Yue nodded, and then said: "Then trouble you two to continue to be good ghosts to the end, do your duty, and complete the three-day deadline."

Yan'er sternly said: "Don't go too far!"

Hu Yue said: "I can't have an accident now, otherwise you won't be able to explain it, right. So I'm going to eat. You two have worked hard, keep working hard, I believe you two, and you will be reliable."

Hu Yue ignored the evil aura around the two women, and it was as cold as ice, she directly carried the food box and walked in through the door.Opening the door, she said to Hongqiao who was pacing back and forth in the room: "Miss Hongqiao, let's eat."

Seeing that it was Hu Yue who came back, Hongqiao immediately went up to greet her and asked, "My lord, how is Xiaoying?"

Hu Yue pointed to the seat and said, "Sit down."

Hong Qiao sat back in her seat uneasily. Hu Yue put the food box on the table, opened a jar of wine on her own, took a sip from the jar and said, "There is good news and bad news. The girl wants to Which one do you listen to?"

Hongqiao bit her lip and said, "Good...good news."

Hu Yue said: "The good news is that Xiaoying is still alive."

Hongqiao looked at Hu Yue and asked, "What about the bad news?"

Hu Yue said briskly: "Xiaoying can't be rescued. If you are doing her best, let her die completely, don't bother."

Hong Qiao stood up abruptly, and she grabbed Hu Yue's arm and said, "No, my lord... I beg you, you must save her! I, really can't let me suffer for her. You have a way, my lord." , right? Young Master!"

Hu Yue said: "You want to revive her? She has completely become a puppet. Death is a relief for her. While it is still possible to let her die completely now, after a while... even this will be difficult , the only way left is to make her lose her mind..."

Hongqiao shook her head, but there was no way to answer, Hu Yue paused, hesitated for a moment and said: "There is only one way to save her, but you should give up this way."

Hongqiao opened her eyes wide and said, "My lord, we can't give up if we have a way. Xiaoying treats me like a sister, and... I don't know why I think Xiaoying is protecting me..."

Hu Yue played with the wine glass in his hand and said: "Any spell has the possibility of its backlash. But to achieve the situation of backlash against the spell, it is actually ruining the boat. Xiaoying is just a host of the spell. If you want to Backlashing back requires another spell, that is to say, if this spell forcibly suppresses the previous one, then the previous spell will backfire back to the original caster, and if it fails to suppress, there will be double backlash the result of."

Hu Yue drank the wine in the glass, pointed to the food on the opposite side calmly, and continued: "That is to say, the second person who cast the curse will not only bear the original curse power, but also bear the power of his own curse." As for the curse on Xiaoying's body, it is very difficult to suppress the power of the spell."

Gritting her teeth, Hongqiao asked intermittently: "Then, if...the double backlash will...will you die?"

Hu Yue sneered, and said: "There are too many things in this world that are more painful than death. If it's just a death, maybe it's a better situation. After all, you will be a good man again after 18 years. That's why I said you still let me die." It would be cleaner for Xiaoying to die like that."

Hongqiao has no appetite at all, she keeps struggling and hesitating.She stood up and sat down again.Hu Yue didn't care, he ate and drank, and finally left a portion for Hongqiao, and got up to clean up.

Hongqiao was anxious and frightened, struggling repeatedly, crying and shaking her head, Hu Yue left her alone in the room.When he came to the yard and looked at the moonlight with a jug of wine, he didn't hear the crying in the house, but at this moment he understood, who's life is not life?And all of this is Xuan Mingzi's calculation.

Hu Yue raised her head to drink, when the door opened, Hongqiao's face was full of tears, her face was pale, and the moonlight shone like porcelain that would break if touched.

She walked in front of Hu Yue, her eyes were empty, she said: "My lord...is there really no other way?"

Hu Yue shook her head and continued to drink.Hongqiao said: "Okay then, my lord, please teach me how to cast spells. I want to save Xiaoying."

Hu Yue squeezed the wine bottle tightly, he looked at Hong Qiao, Hong Qiao's eyes could not tell whether she was afraid or firm.It was as if at this moment she told herself not to think about anything, so that she could make a decision.

Hu Yue put the wine jar on the table and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Hongqiao nodded, and Hu Yue said: "The possibility of failure is very high. It can be said that there is almost no possibility of success."

A tear slipped from Hongqiao's empty eye socket, she said, "It's been 12 years..."

Her voice was trembling, Hongqiao raised her head, and smiled sadly at Hu Yue: "It's been 12 years, my lord. We've known each other for 12 years. Listening to willows by the river back then was like a dream."

Hongqiao sat where Chu Jue used to sit, and she said, "I've been thinking about how to stay longer and closer to the young master. I've been thinking about this problem all the time. Thinking about it, the night passed. In the morning, I found that I still couldn't think of any way, so I always just looked at you from the distance I thought was the closest to the son, even if you didn't look at me, I also felt like this Very good. I have lived in that mood for many years."

Hong Qiao pointed to Hu Yue's bottle of wine, Hu Yue bowed slightly, and handed it to Hong Qiao.Hongqiao took a sip and coughed from choking. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and continued: "Then I found out that you are actually very good to me, my lord. Really, you always bring me Interesting things, you will care about me, you can understand the pain in my heart, but, hehe, after Mr. Chu came, I found that the fact that you are kind to me is all because I am smart, sensible, and able to read words, not... Because of affection."

Hu Yue said: "Girl, I can't stand your love."

Hongqiao smiled slightly and said, "Yes, but why did you accept Mr. Chu's love?"

Hu Yue moved his lips, but he didn't make a sound. He thought for a moment and said, "Because..." But he still couldn't finish the sentence because.

Hongqiao didn't continue to ask, she said: "So later, I gave up. I knew that I couldn't stay by the young master's side for too long. There is always a banquet in the world. Sooner or later, we will part ways. I also understand that my ten The feelings that have been entrusted over the past few years are just like wind and fog in the end."

Hongqiao shrugged slightly, looked at Hu Yue and said, "So son, I won't say the word love to you, I know you won't accept it, and I don't want to bend myself like this, Hongqiao has Hongqiao I insist that we are confidantes, confidantes, so for the first time, my lord, as a confidant, I beg you, if the spell fails, please let me die completely, and then bury me and Xiaoying in the Together, with her accompanying me on Huangquan Road, I will not be alone. Young Master, please don’t forget me, as long as you remember me, that’s enough.”

Hu Yue looked at Hongqiao with confusion in his eyes. He held his forehead, and the moiré on his forehead became deeper again.He said softly, "I will."

Hongqiao sighed, lowered her head and looked at the wine bottle in her hand: "When will it start?"

Hu Yue said, "Tomorrow at noon."

Hongqiao nodded, and Hu Yue said: "If there is anything you want to do, girl, you can go and see who you want to meet. But you must never go back to that small building, and you must not see Xiaoying. Remember."

Hong Qiao stood up and saluted, "Then I won't disturb the young master's rest, I will leave first."

Hu Yue stood up and asked, "Where are you going?"

Hong Qiao smiled and said, "Naturally, I will go to see those who have taken care of me for the last time. After this night, maybe I won't have the chance to see them."

After finishing speaking, he left, Hu Yue sent Hongqiao to the door, Hongqiao bowed again, Hu Yue looked at Hongqiao, his eyes seemed to be thinking, but he still returned to Guanqing Zhai, where the two girls stood in the courtyard In the middle, Liu Er said: "What are you going to do?"

Hu Yue said: "Do what I should do, don't be afraid, you are still here just to monitor me."

The two ghost girls did not speak, and Man slowly disappeared into the yard, but Hu Yue could feel the cold moisture in the surrounding air.

Hu Yue laughed: "It's such a hot day, fortunately there are two of you."

After speaking, go back to the house and close the door.He closed his eyes. The next day, Chu Jue hadn't come yet. Hu Yue squeezed his hands slightly. He was a little worried that if Chu Jue didn't come, all the plans would be in vain.But if he came, Hu Yue pursed her lips and said, "Is this your purpose? How will you arrange it?"

The sound of water flowing, the sound of wind blowing, the sound of doors opening...

"I won't let you wait too long, because I don't have much time..."

Chu Jue suddenly opened his eyes, and knocked over the jade wine glass in his hand. He watched the candle flicker on and off for a few times, and then went out. Through the moonlight, Chu Jue stood up. He sat on the chair, Covering his head, he seemed to be thinking about something long and distant, and he unconsciously said, "Time is running out..."

He suddenly came to his senses, the sound in the dream was a memory from the past, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a strange fragrance.In this whirling world, such a quiet night is really too common, but he still can't get enough of it.He stood up, but the surrounding area was surrounded by smoke for some time, and a cold voice came from the smoke: "Mr. Chu."

Chu Jue didn't move forward, he said, "Oh... are you here?"

"How are you preparing?"

Chu Jue said, "The time hasn't come yet."

"The servant is just reminding you."

Chu Jue lowered his head and pondered, "How about leaving a note next time? I'm a little frightened by your sudden appearance. How can you sleep peacefully when you appear in the middle of the night?"

"Hehe, Mr. Chu was joking, please atone for your sins, and this servant will leave now..."

The shadow swayed a few times, then dissipated.

Chu Jue lit the candle again, but at this time his eyes showed a hint of silver.The strange luster was fleeting, he poured himself a glass of wine, and said silently: "It's up to you from now on..."

Finally on the third day, Hu Yue, who had been sitting upright with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. At this time, his appearance changed again, his face was a little pale, his lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes were cold.All of this is no longer the Hu Yue who wandered in the Lane of Fireworks and Willows in the past, but for Hu Yue, this night of thinking seems to have made him make a certain decision.

He stood up and opened the door and window, the room was brightly illuminated by the sun, Hu Yue looked back at the room, and then walked out.

After leaving Guanqingzhai, Hu Yue ushered in an old friend that he never thought of.

Jiang Lu was dressed in a white Taoist robe, shed the secular face, his face was cold and plain, like a bright moon in the sky, with white hair, but his appearance was the same as that of Jiang Lu when Hu Yue met, and he was not aging at all. He smiled slightly, this smile, It seemed that he was not so reclusive, he leaned slightly and said, "I've seen you for a long time, Mu Zhi."

Hu Yue was also taken aback, he said: "You..."

Jiang Lu smiled slightly and said, "Old friend, why don't you invite me in for a sit down?"
