The greatest joy in this world is to find something lost.

Gu Yuexuan has never thought that he is not a person who cares about gains and losses.Ever since he was a child, Wu Xiazi had taught him like this, to be indifferent and broad-minded, so that he can have no desires and desires, and be at ease.He really listened to his master's words. During those years in Xiaoyao Valley, he tried his best to do everything, because he was less distracted than ordinary people, and he walked slowly step by step to a place where people can stand up to the mountains. .How much hard work and hardship along the way, he does not regard it as a loss; and the praise from the world that follows, he does not necessarily regard it as a gain.

Gu Yuexuan just doesn't care about those things that people in the world are rushing to fight for.People who don't know him only think that he is noble and humble, while those who don't understand him think that he is pretending to deceive the world.It's not that Gu Yuexuan doesn't understand these people's thoughts, but he still doesn't care.The eyes of others said that to him, it was nothing more than the breeze blowing the mountains and the moon reflecting the river, no matter how tyrannical it was, it could not shake his steadfast state of mind.

Until one day, that person yelled at him and asked him that question.

After that moment of astonishment, Gu Yuexuan finally thought about gains and losses.

When that person left Xiaoyao Valley, he tasted the feeling of loss for the first time. It made him panic and instinctively wanted to drag that person back. It was at that time that he began to understand what it means to have a heart. what you want.

Later, when he watched the man fall off the cliff with his own eyes, saw the man come back and go again, gained and lost, and repeated several times, his heart sometimes mourned, sometimes ecstatic, and sometimes sad——he felt all these ups and downs. Unfortunately, he just realized that the seven emotions and six desires are all linked to the word gain and loss.

Gu Yuexuan is not a saint, he can't be truly pure-hearted and ascetic, and the world of mortals that traps him is not in fame and wealth, but in that one person.

He originally thought that he understood too late, and it was too late to hold what he wanted in his palm.

Fortunately, God treated him kindly after all.

At this moment, he firmly clasped the warm five fingers of that person in his hand, only feeling that a heart trapped in a dry well revived and slowly plunged into this soft and warm little world, no matter what It's windy and windy outside, and it won't be swaying anymore.

This made him couldn't help calling out over and over again: "Ah Ji... Ah Ji."

Thorn was held by him honestly at first, but then he became impatient and complained in a low voice: "How many times have you called this? Didn't you just say you won't leave?"

Gu Yuexuan didn't let go, his eyes were like a crescent moon smiling, but he only looked at the thorn.He said briskly: "Weiming and Rong'er must be very happy to know you're going back, as well as Master and Lao Hu, everyone misses you. Keep everything in your room as it is. Master never allows others to move, Lao Hu." Hu will also go to clean it regularly. When we go back to the valley, Rong'er will definitely cook a table of dishes, all of which you like..."

He spoke quickly, and laughed as he spoke, not knowing if it was caused by the agitation of Qi and blood, he started coughing after a few laughs.

Thorn panicked, and didn't try to break free any longer. He wrapped his other hand around Gu Yuexuan's shoulder, and patted that thin back as gently as possible a few times. "Oh, you... just say a few words less."

Gu Yuexuan leaned his forehead gently on his junior brother's shoulder, panted a few times and slowed down, sighed in a low voice: "Aji, senior brother still has many things to say to you..."

Thorn's heart seemed to be pinched, and the pain was severe, so he ignored it and said, "Don't say it."

Gu Yuexuan was slightly startled and said, "Aji?"

Thorn turned around and grabbed the cool fingers, hugged him a little tighter, and said sullenly: "When I get back to the valley...speak slowly."

Gu Yuexuan paused, then said with a smile, "Okay. Ah Ji likes to listen, so I'll just talk about it for the rest of my life."

The voice penetrated into my ears softly, and Thorn's face suddenly became hot, and he spat: "You are so naughty, so I can bear it. I have endured it for 19 years before, and it will be nothing if I endure it for another seven or eighty years." Big deal."

In these years of wandering outside, what I least wanted to see and hear in the past has become the sweetness in the deepest dream.

Just like at that time, every time I opened my eyes and woke up, I hoped that this night would be longer. Bramble embraced the body that was getting hotter in his arms, and thought with a bittersweet feeling in his heart, if they could make the days go by more slowly, they would No matter how hard it is to be hunted down for thousands of miles, it is still worth it.

It's a pity that this idea is too capricious. After all, they still have to hurry up and send Lu Shaolin to Luoyang.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jingji let go of Gu Yuexuan, walked over to open the door and saw that it was indeed Lu Shaolin.

When Lu Shaolin saw the person who answered the door, he blinked blankly, looked left and right, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that I went wrong..."

Gu Yuexuan came out from behind the thorns, straightened his wrinkled clothes after sitting all night, and said, "Brother Lu, you came just in time, let's pack up and go downstairs to eat something, and then we go."

Lu Shaolin's eyes widened, he looked at the frowned and silent thorn, and then at Gu Yuexuan whose cheeks were reddish, he thought he had reacted in an instant, took a step back and said, "Ahem... ok, no problem, let's go right away. "

After finishing speaking, it seemed that he was telling him to go by himself, he turned his head and ran downstairs in a hurry.

Jingji and Gu Yuexuan also followed, and the three of them sat down in the most inconspicuous corner as before, ordered more dishes, and planned to replenish their energy before going on the road again.

The dishes were served one by one, Gu Yuexuan ate at a leisurely pace, the thorns were watching from the sidelines, his mind was not on eating at all, each dish was brought up, without looking at what it was, just picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into Gu Yuexuan's bowl regardless of what it was .

Gu Yuexuan looked at the pile of vegetables piled up like a hill in front of him in no time, stopped his chopsticks, and said helplessly, "Aji, I can't eat so much."

Thorn raised his eyebrows nervously: "Why can't I eat it? No, give me more."

He looked at Gu Yuexuan, and felt that the more he looked at that person, the more he lost weight. He worked so hard all the way, not to mention rest, he didn't even eat a good meal.The toxicity of Hangusan is so overbearing, every attack is so tormenting, wouldn't it be more difficult to overcome it if you don't eat more?If he hadn't got important things to do right now, he wished he could go out and collect some abalone and ginseng wings, and pour them all into Gu Yuexuan.

Seeing that the thorns were determined to stare at him for eating, Gu Yuexuan had no choice but to swallow the chicken, duck and fish with a wry smile. While eating, he did not forget to pick out the best meat and put it in the thorns bowl inside.

Lu Shaolin who was on the side had already developed a pair of sharp eyes for observing words and colors. Seeing this situation, he was even more convinced that something extraordinary happened last night. He immediately lowered his head consciously, watched his nose, nose and heart, and concentrated on poking the nearest fish. .

But the fish looked familiar, and he lost his appetite without moving his chopsticks a few times, and sighed lowly.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Yuexuan also put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked, "Brother Lu, is the food not to your liking?"

Lu Shaolin raised his head, tried his best to smile, and said calmly: "I originally agreed with elder brother that we will try the Huizhou mandarin fish after we enter the city."

His voice was unmistakably hoarse, his eyes were red, apparently he had been tossing and turning all night.

Thorns rarely laughed at his weakness, frowned and moved the plate of fish away from Lu Shaolin, replaced it with a bowl of sauced beef and pushed it in front of him, saying: "Don't think about it, I don't think this fish stinks, your elder brother won't like it. Wait." After delivering the darts this time, I will put seventeen or eight fish in your arms on the return journey, and it will be stinky when you arrive in Suzhou, and then go to the river to have a drink with your eldest brother."

With seventeen or eight stinky fish stuffed on his body, what's the deal with walking on the road?By that time, he will turn into that stinky beggar who everyone shouts and beats as a merry young man.After hearing these absurd remarks, Lu Shaolin didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but the grief in his heart was inexplicably lightened, and he lowered his head and chewed his food.

Gu Yuexuan watched from the side, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he thought gratifiedly, his junior brother is good at comforting people, he really is much more sensible.

Not long after the meal, a few more people entered the inn and sat down in the middle of the lobby.Those people are all dressed up as warriors, with swords hanging from their waists. They look like people from the Jianghu, but judging from their gait, their martial arts are not good enough. I think they are from some small sects in Suzhou, and they are not looking for them. .

The people in the corner continued to sit without moving, but they all cheered up in their hearts.

After those people were seated, they ordered a table of good wine and good food, and then chatted with each other with such a loud voice that it could be said that there was no one else present.

I only heard a big man say: "Do you know how powerful that crazy swordsman is? In just half a month's work, that man has picked all the major sects. Even the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Men's Formation can't beat him, and the Huashan Sword Formation is even more powerful. The head of Wudang Na Zhuo said he was sick and refused to fight, and he was definitely afraid of losing face to that unknown swordsman."

Another person said: "It's embarrassing to lose, isn't it even more embarrassing if you don't fight? Tell me, in this huge Central Plains martial arts world, is there no one who can stand up and put an end to the arrogance of that swordsman?"

The person in front said: "Those old guys are covering their reputation tightly. They are used to being flattered all these years, and they are afraid that they will be slapped in the face if they make a move. And the leader of the Eastern Alliance is really crazy. The swordsman signed the challenge early, but he kept pushing and resisting, and refused to take up the challenge. I'm afraid he is a coward, and he wants to be a coward, right?"

Everyone echoed in unison, and someone simply scolded: "I have long heard that Dongfang Weiming is not doing his job properly. He has a girly face. He is only in his early twenties. How can he be reliable in his work? Let him take the lead, the Central Plains martial arts Is there a way out?"

These words became more and more ugly, Gu Yuexuan and Lu Shaolin could still bear it, Jingji almost drew his sword and stood up to seek justice for his junior brother, but was held down by Gu Yuexuan again, thinking of it was not eye-catching, so he could only sit still, with a picture His face was getting colder and colder.

At this time, someone said: "I heard that the former leader of the martial arts alliance is quite capable. A pair of iron fists can break mountains and crack rocks. It is said that when he holds it, it is as big as a meteor hammer. I bet that if the leader of the martial arts is still alive, he can break the mountain with a single fist." The head of the arrogant swordsman is smashed!"

Hearing that person dared to mention Gu Yuexuan at first, the anger in Thorn's chest was almost uncontrollable, but unexpectedly what the other party said was really funny, he let it out immediately, staring at the hand of the person around him that was still on his elbow, couldn't help it The corners of his mouth twitched.

Gu Yuexuan's ten fingers are slender, although they are covered with fine scars due to boxing all the year round, the joints are not as thick as ordinary warriors, and in addition to the lack of energy and blood these days, the skin on the back of the hands is pale with some light blue veins, at first glance it looks slender and delicate Like a weak scholar, he is a thousand miles away from the meteor hammer that those people talk about.

What kind of hammer can grow into this appearance, and the person who was hammered to death may not be wronged.The more Thorn thought about it, the more amusing it became, and he accidentally laughed out loud.

Gu Yuexuan was drinking tea, pressed the thorn's palm a little harder, frowned and said: "Ji."

Thorn's arm hurt slightly, remembering how he was beaten up by these fists back then, he thought he couldn't be fooled by this appearance, and muttered: "... I think it is obviously much more powerful than the meteor hammer. "

When Gu Yuexuan heard it, he almost choked on the tea in his mouth.

They just sat like this, and waited for the group of people to talk enough nonsense and leave in a group after drinking and eating, then they stood up and prepared to pay the bill and leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, someone chased him from behind.

Holding a jug of wine in the shop's second hand, he smiled eagerly: "Guest officers, our proprietress said thank you heroes for taking care of the business, and would like to invite you to have a drink before leaving."

Gu Yuexuan wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about the care taken by the proprietress last night, she felt that she couldn't get rid of other people's kindness, so she decided to accept it.

Knowing his physical condition, Thorn would not let him drink, so he took the lead and grabbed the pot of wine.

Just as the bushes were about to raise their heads to drink, another voice came from the door: "Stop, you can't drink this wine."

The man let out a stern voice, rushed forward, grabbed the jug with his hands, his movement was extremely fast and flowing, the sword was out of its sheath in the blink of an eye, and without a word, it slashed at the little boy's hands.

The silver light flickered slightly, only a few sharp sounds of "nails" were heard, and hundreds of long needles as thin as cow hair were hitting the blade of the sword, and bounced everywhere.

Seeing that he couldn't hit him with one blow, the little boy immediately backed away. Although he was fast, he was still stabbed in the shoulder by the long sword, and he didn't dare to fight at the moment, so he jumped up and fled to the street through the back window.

When the crowd chased him out, the man had already disappeared into the crowd and was hard to find.

Gu Yuexuan turned back, looked at the red-clothed swordsman who suddenly appeared, and said in surprise, "Brother Fu, why did you come here?"

Fu Jianhan leaned against the door frame, put the long sword back into its sheath, and said with a loud smile: "Of course it was entrusted by Brother Weiming."

As he spoke, he picked up the jug in the other hand, sniffed it lightly, frowned and said in distaste: "It's a pity, it's a pity. Tangmen's poison really ruined a good jug of wine."
