The soil full of humus was sprinkled on the knife edge of the corpse.
It was originally used for fraud. I guess these people didn't expect that they provided some clues to Lu Bai.
It's just that Lu Bai's eyes were darkened in Ankang City, and it was difficult to figure this out.
"Okay, don't think about this anymore." Lu Bai stood up and handed the invitation to Gu Qinghuan, "Let's go and clean up. Mr. Shi Qi from Ankang City held a banquet for us, and the invitations have been sent."
Gu Qinghuan took the invitation over, opened it and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you read the invitation?"
"No, what's wrong?" Lu Bai was surprised.
Gu Qinghuan handed the invitation to Lu Bai, "Nothing, just an apprentice."
Lu Bai took the invitation, "Hey guys, the original name of Lu Qinghuan was only written on it as "Gu Qing". As for Lu Bai, it was directly represented by "a group of people, etc.", and it was also extremely flattering, most of which were
Admiration for Gu Qinghuan's appearance and other compliments.
"We're not going. If you tell them, just say I'm not feeling well." Gu Qinghuan said.
Lu Bai put down the invitation and said, "Go, why not go? I have already promised him. If you don't go, wouldn't it be a breach of promise?"
He is not very angry at this "one person". He has been born in two lifetimes, and he is not a young and energetic person. He would be angered by such a clumsy trick. But whether he is angry or not is one thing, and whether he wants to retaliate is another matter.
Another thing.
Lu Bai wanted to meet this proud emperor.
"All right."
Lu Qinghuan pulled Lu Bai to sit down and tied Lu Bai's hair in front of the dressing table.
Since we are going, we must not lose the situation.
She arranged a hair crown for Lu Bai that was clear but chic and elegant. She also picked out a moon-white dress and a cloak. It was relaxed and freehand, and Lu Bai's eclectic temperament was naturally revealed.
Lu Qinghuan changed into a slightly neutral outfit and wore a white velvet cloak, which matched Lu Bai's style of clothing, but was more low-key, so as not to overwhelm the guest.
When they left the Jinyi Guard Qianhu Station, Bai Qianhu was already waiting. Seeing this, he hurriedly came over to greet him, "Sir, Mr. Shi Qi's car has arrived, please."
Lu Bai raised his eyes and saw a luxurious car parked at the foot of the guardhouse steps. It was decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and the door curtains and curtains were all golden. Lu Bai had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that it was made of gold thread.
What is even more eye-catching is the donkey pulling the cart. It is a donkey. It is all white with white hooves. Under the heavy snow, it almost melts into the sky and the earth.
Bai Qianhu took the opportunity and said: "Sir, this is Mr. Shi Qi's favorite horse, the Snow Demon. It is said that it travels two hundred miles a day and only pulls one carriage a day. After one time, don't even think about letting it pull people. I heard
It is said that this snow demon does not eat forage, but goes out to forage for food on its own. In the morning, it returns home and has become a spirit."
He asked Lu Bai to get in the car, "Inviting this car shows the grandeur of Mr. Shi Qi."
Lu Bai smiled and said nothing. After helping Lu Qinghuan into the car, he also got in.
The Snow Demon started on its own, pulling the cart and walking slowly along the street. When all the people saw it, whether they were walking, pulling the cart or driving, they all gave way to the roadside and saw the Snow Demon off before continuing on.
.
"This donkey is quite grand. The emperor's appearance is nothing more than that." Lu Bai put down the door curtain and asked again: "It doesn't eat ordinary grass. What do you think it eats?"
Before Gu Qinghuan could say anything, Lu Bai muttered, "It's just meat and grass, how can it be the same as dew?"
Lu Bai was thinking, if a donkey with enlightened intelligence treats guests with a grand ceremony, he should have pulled the great white ape over and tidied its fur, so that it would look very pure even in this world.
While talking, Lu Bai and the others headed north and arrived at the foot of the north city wall.
The gate of Ankang City was already closed. When I saw the white donkey, I quickly opened the door and respectfully sent the white donkey out.
Lu Bai wanted to take a look outside Beicheng, so he opened the curtain again. However, a string of lanterns unexpectedly caught his eye. He saw red lanterns hanging on every tree on both sides of the road, accompanied by white donkeys.
, the red lanterns lit up one by one, and the road ahead of the white donkey appeared clearly in front of him under the illumination of the lanterns.
"It's interesting." Lu Bai said.
He glanced behind the tree and saw a figure swaying behind the tree, wearing white clothes and a white hood. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have thought that Mr. Shi Qi had some magical power to make every lamp accompany the donkey.
The car lights up.
"It's quite troublesome." Lu Bai stuck his head out and looked behind him, where a lantern was shining like a long dragon in the wilderness.
He retracted his head and said, "When the little girls see it, it's hard not to be fascinated by this hand."
Lu Qing smiled happily, but from beginning to end, she didn't look outside.
Lu Bai turned his head and didn't look at it again. For people who visited a lot of lantern markets in his previous life, this lantern was a bit surprising and kind when he first saw it, as if he had returned to his previous life, but after all, it was in
In ancient times.
These lanterns are too monotonous and cannot be flashing, so they are not very interesting.
The donkey cart quickly climbed onto the trestle.
This is a trestle built on the lake. The lake is frozen and covered with snow. It is as smooth as a piece of jade plate without any human feet. The carriage is walking on the lonely and straight trestle in the wind and snow.
Two red lantern dragons accompany each other, creating a unique artistic conception.
Lu Bai had to admit that this Master Shi Qi was quite elegant.
At the end of the trestle is a manor.
This manor is not big. It is built on the lake. The lower part is supported by wooden beads driven into the bottom of the lake. The ice surface under the eaves of the pavilions and pavilions is not covered by snow. The light is reflected on the ice surface, making it difficult to distinguish the sky from time to time.
and land.
Lu Bai felt that this manor must be beautiful in the summer, with the stars reflected in the water and the manor above the starry sky.
"E-E-E---"
When approaching the center of the manor, Lu Bai heard someone practicing their voice. He followed the sound and saw a small stage isolated outside the manor. It was built on a huge boulder. The surface of the boulder was smooth and there was a lot of water on the high side. It was a good place.
The stage.
This is indeed a stage.
The scenery has been set up.
Lu Bai saw that there seemed to be a mechanism down there, but he didn't know what it was for.
The stage is opposite a stage with a banquet on it.
Lu Bai and the others got off the car, and Bai Qianhu led a few members of the Jinyi Guards over. Along with them were several of Lu Bai's female disciples, and - a monk?
Lu Bai was surprised and looked at the sloppy Taoist priest: "Why are you here?"
The sloppy Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said, "Master, you are not very interesting. You didn't take us with you when you had the opportunity to drink."
have to!
Lu Bai shouldn't ask, the reason is obvious.
Bai Qianhu got off his horse and said, "Sir, how about this manor? This was built by Mr. Shi Qi himself, especially this stage -"
Bai Qianhu pointed to the huge stone in the lake, "Master Shi Qi personally moved it back and placed it there."
Lu Bai didn't pay much attention to it. For a master in the Mountain Moving Realm, moving a small mountain was no problem, let alone Lu Bai in the Skybreaking Realm.
Instead, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor - the corridor connected to the platform directly opposite the stage where Lu Bai got off the bus.
"Miss Gu Si's visit will make my garden full of glory." A young man about the same age as Lu Bai led a group of people out of the corridor. The man was a knife, and the sound came first.
This young man wears a crown on his head, his face is as white as jade, and he wears a wide robe. He walks around and brings a burst of incense to the wind. He looks somewhat immortal, and he is worthy of being a Taoist in the Sword Studio.
Speaking of Jian Zhai, this young man has a sword in his body and shows his sharp edge. Although he does not have a sword on him, good people who see him have no doubt that he can easily rain down a sword.
In comparison, Lu Bai, the wall-hanger, is much worse. Because his cultivation is all on the panel, his demeanor and temperament are much inferior to those of these sharp-edged people, making it difficult for people to see his true identity at a glance.
On the other hand, Lu Bai's body appeared to be very gentle and approachable due to the Qingxin Jue and Turtle Breathing Technique.
Seeing these people approaching, Gu Qinghuan moved a step back and stood behind Lu Bai.
Lu Bai cupped his hands and said, "I heard the name of Master Shi Qi when I first arrived in the world, and now I finally see him."
Mr. Shi Qi responded calmly, "This must be Mr. Lu. He became the governor at a young age. He is really young and promising."
"It's just wallowing in the world of mortals." Lu Bai smiled modestly.
Young Master Shi Qi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Lu Bai to have such a calm temper at such a young age.
He also introduced several people to Lu Bai, including the lord of Ankang City, the prefect, the commander of the city guard and other officials. They were not respectful to Lu Bai, but they were not disrespectful to Lu Bai. They wanted to be a deterrent to the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi Town.
After all, the strength is somewhat inferior.
They were more curious about Gu Qinghuan. They looked sideways frequently, either in amazement, admiration, or feeling dirty in their hearts, but they couldn't tell. As someone who lives in the officialdom, they still have this kind of self-cultivation.
On the other hand, Mr. Shi Qi looked at Gu Qinghuan with surprise at first, but then he could not hide his admiration.
Gu Qinghuan never spoke.
After the introduction, Mr. Shi Qi led them to sit down on the platform. Gu Qinghuan and Lu Bai sat at the same table.
The table was already filled with wine and food, and the timing was just right. The wine was scalded and hot, and the food had just been brought out and was still steaming.
"Everyone -" Mr. Shi Qi pointed to the end of the platform, where there is a crooked old plum tree with its trunk covered with snowflakes. At this moment, there are several branches of plum blossoms blooming on the plum tree, as white as snow, which contrast with the snowflakes.
Too beautiful to behold.
"It's such a good time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, enjoy the flowers, the snow, and the beauties -" Young Master Shi Qi turned to look at Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan didn't say anything. She picked up a piece of fish and carefully picked out the thorns inside. It seemed that what she was doing was better than everything else. After picking out all the thorns, she gave the fish to Lu Bai.
The muscles on Mr. Shi Qi's face twitched slightly, and his smile was a little stiff. "It is the most elegant thing. If it were in a show, it would be so beautiful. If it spreads, others will be envious."
He clapped his hands, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the show began.
Master Shi Qi turned his head and continued to chop Gu Qinghuan, his eyes full of admiration, "In the past, Miss Gu Si was famous all over Jiangning and the capital. Everyone was vying to see Miss Gu Si's beauty. Talents and beauties were all honored to be praised by Miss Gu Si.
, and it is said that the number one scholar is not as good as the Qingyun Ranking. Even now, when many literati and poets recall the capital, they cannot help but mention a few words about the scene of the gathering when Miss Gu Si was there——"
Young Master Shi Qi spoke with high spirits and bright eyes, "Shi Qi always hated himself for not seeing Miss Gu Si's beauty for ten years at night. He always regretted it. To see her today, Shi Qi San is finally lucky."
"
He raised his glass and said, "I would like to give Miss Fourth a glass."
Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to raise his glass, saluted him from afar, took a sip, and handed the glass to Lu Bai, "Gu is so drunk that he still wants to see Mr. Shi Qi Haihan."
Lu Bai raised his head and sighed.
If only this wine were different from his medicinal wine.
Shi Qi smiled and said unconcernedly: "Today's drama of "The Divine Whip" was specially prepared by me for Miss Gu Si."
Lu Bai frowned.
Lu Qinghuan's least favorite play was "The Divine Whip", and Lu Bai didn't mind interrupting the play.
However, Gu Qinghuan held Lu Bai down.
Mr. Shi Qi continued: "Although the play "The Divine Whip" is famous, I feel that there is too much water in it, and it is indispensable for the Lu family to beautify their sword fairy. I can't stand it, so I took action to make some changes to the text and plot of the play.
I made some changes, and Miss Gu Si is here today. You can take a look and see if the changes I made are to your liking."
Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan looked at the stage together. After looking at it for a while, Lu Bai realized that this was not some changes, but a big change. It almost reduced the main plot of the God Whip, that is, the God of War whipping the Sword Immortal, and instead increased it.
There are many plots about Gu Qinghuan, and the story line is also extended. It is not the end of the sword fairy's ascension.
Mr. Shi Qi said: "I have very high requirements for opera. Let's not talk about these opera girls. If they don't say they are one in a thousand, they are also one in a thousand. Their clothes are all made with a lot of money, no matter what the robe is.
No matter the color, material, or pattern, even if a piece of brocade is worth dozens of taels of silver, we don't care. A hat or a pair of shoes are the embodiment of the character's entire spirit, and nothing can be careless."
"The only regret is -" Mr. Shi Qi sighed, "When I choose actors to sing in operas, I often choose actors who are very similar to the people in the opera, and only those who many people think are similar."
"It's a pity that when I was rehearsing, I never saw the face of Miss Gu Fourth, so I chose the most suitable one. Now I see the beauty of Miss Gu Fourth and I realize how wrong it is." Young Master Shi Qi waved his fan gracefully, "No.
What if I call all the girls in the opera house and ask Miss Gu Si to personally select a similar one?"
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Qinghuan to speak, he clapped his hands.
Immediately, the girls singing on the stage seemed to have pressed the pause button. No matter whether they bent down, raised their legs or twisted, they all remained motionless on the stage.
"Please?" Mr. Shi Qi waved to his men to bring the girls up.
"No need." Lu Bai waved his hand, leaving no room for doubt, "Miss Gu Si is nothing like these vulgar fans. If you compare her like this, we won't be able to eat today. It's more important to go to the theater."
The sloppy Taoist priest shouted from below, "It's just because of the appearance of the clothes."
Young Master Shi Qi looked at Gu Qinghuan, waiting for her to make up her mind.
Gu Qinghuan rolled a spring cake for Lu Bai, but was unaware of this.
Mr. Shi Qi nodded, "Okay."
He clapped his hands, and the paused scene on the stage played as usual.
