Chapter 131 Fang Qiuliang confronts Xi Po, Gu Yusheng searches for the book box
Fang Qiuliang stood in Sun Xipo's yard, with his hands behind his back. The light from the lantern stretched his figure very long, and he slowly turned around.
The lantern reflected in Fang Qiuliang's eyes, flickering slightly.
The light shone on him, but it was dark.
Fang Qiuliang's voice was a little old.
"Xi Po, you have lived in this town for almost as long as that locust tree. Is there anything you can't solve by yourself? You clearly know what is sealed in the Lu family's yard, but you just let it go.
That kid took such a big risk."
"Oh? Are you preaching to me?"
Sun Xipo held a lantern, her cloudy eyes were like the sky in the dark night, bottomless.
Fang Qiuliang stood proudly and replied: "If you think so, there is nothing wrong with it, I can teach you too."
Sun Xipo twisted the cold needles with her pale fingers. When her fingertips moved, several needles disappeared without a trace. She glanced at the small courtyard where Gu Yusheng was.
"I just want to confirm whether the child's heart is still as kind as before, what? You, Fang Qiuliang, took Gu Bai as your disciple and harmed his life.
Is it a crime for me to even test the child's character? You have abandoned Taoism and followed Confucianism for so many years, and your abilities have not improved much, but you have learned the hypocrisy of scholars? If this is the case, I would like to measure your true ability!"
A strange puppet flew out of Sun Xipo's sleeve, and in an instant thousands of embroidery needles came out of the puppet.
The pear-like needle shadows of the heavy rain echo the fine snow hanging from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the entire courtyard was filled with water.
Fang Qiuliang remained motionless, with a bit of sadness on his face. He suddenly flicked his sleeves, and in the entire small courtyard, neither the fine snow nor the embroidery needles melted away.
He patted it casually again, and the puppet hung on the locust tree with a bang.
Sun Xipo's rickety body fell forward strangely, turning into a floral cloth.
A strange hand emerged from the shadow on the wall, and actually grabbed Fang Qiuliang's shadow on the wall into the ground.
The next moment.
The puppet on the old locust tree opened its eyes, glowing with a strange cold light.
Just listen to the puppet speaking human words: "Fang Qiuliang, as long as you are a human, you have seven emotions and six desires. I have sealed one of your three souls, but you still have abilities that you can use? The legendary Taoist Tianqing is nothing more than that.
.”
Fang Qiuliang still stood in the same place. From the beginning to the end, he never moved a step. He just lowered his head to glance at the disappearing figure, took a photo casually, and grabbed the lantern hanging on the wall in his hand.
With a slight tap of his hand, the wick in the lantern swayed slightly, and his shadow condensed again on the ground where the snowflakes were flying.
Fang Qiuliang threw away the lantern in his hand and hung it on the door. The surface of the lantern gradually glowed with pure Yang fire.
In the firelight.
Sun Xipo's figure became more solid little by little.
Fang Qiuliang patted the wrinkled clothes and said calmly: "Xi Po, let's stop the farce. Let's save each other some face."
"snort."
Sun Xipo casually took a photo.
The flames burning in her body were extinguished little by little, and the look she looked at Fang Qiuliang became even colder and colder.
The aura on Fang Qiuliang's body faded away, and he seemed to have turned into the teacher with starry hair on his temples again. His face was melancholy and his attitude became much more relaxed.
"If you think I was wrong about what happened back then, I bear the blame. But one thing, I hope you remember, as long as I am in this town, no one will be allowed to lead the child step by step into the darkness.
, Xi Po, since that child learned to speak, how many times has he called you grandma? Can such a kind child not make your cold heart warm in the sun? "
"Haha, if my heart is really as cold as ice, in that cold winter, I will probably freeze to death under the locust tree for the rest of my life late at night. Fang Qiuliang, what are you thinking about?"
Sun Xipo narrowed her eyes.
"Back then, Gu Bairuo married a girl named Yun whom he met by chance at Taohuawu. He didn't listen to you and went to Xianhuzhou. Today, you won't be living in that broken Taoist temple, and you won't have those children in the village looking at your Taoist incense burner.
pee!"
Fang Qiuliang's tall back seemed to become much smaller in an instant.
He stared at the falling snowflakes and let them fall on his thin quilt. After a while, he said: "From today on, there is no Po Tao Temple. Gu Yusheng has repaired the Po Tao Temple. Also, the one who was sprinkled with
The incense burner he peed on was broken by him. You said, isn't such a kind-hearted child worthy of my personal visit?"
Sun Xipo's old and rickety body was slightly raised, her eyes showed some disbelief, and she asked in wonder: "How did he do it?"
"A ladder, a pair of hands, and a passionate heart."
When Fang Qiuliang said this, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Sun Xipo frowned: "So what? When he was alone, you never helped him. His kindness has nothing to do with you. Also, his abilities are beyond those of a sword-carrying man.
Professor, if he wants to change his family and become your disciple, the child may not be willing."
Fang Qiuliang's eyes became deep and he said: "Everyone has his own destiny and his own way to go. Gu Yusheng can't bear too many causes and effects. One day, he will understand from the path he has walked.
It comes from your own reasons."
"Haha, why should you rely on that child to do something that you can't do yourself? You have to be really capable and break this day. Otherwise, I would rather he marry a wife and have children like a mortal in a small town.
Live an ordinary life."
With a casual move, Sun Xipo grabbed the puppet on the old locust tree and walked step by step towards the inner room.
"Tomorrow I will leave for a long trip to see which girl the child has fallen in love with. Since his heart is kind, I will keep him safe for the rest of his life.
Whether this world is black or white, you have to choose a way to live... As for your unnatural ideas, I have no interest in it. Whether you are a human being or a dog of the gods, I have long been tired of it. From now on
Don't bother me."
Fang Qiuliang looked at the closed door and stood alone in the courtyard for a long time.
After a moment, he raised his hand, and the strange bird landed in his palm again. Fang Qiuliang said: "In the future, build a nest in this old locust tree. Don't follow me anymore. You can't afford it."
The next morning.
Gu Yusheng was full of energy after sleeping all night.
He walked out of the courtyard and stretched. He found that although the sky was sprinkled with snowflakes, it was not as cold as yesterday.
The plum blossoms in the corner are even more beautiful and moving.
Gu Yusheng thought for a while.
Pick one.
Walk towards the Taoist temple on the eastern outskirts.
Arriving in front of the Taoist temple that was just built yesterday, Gu Yusheng saw that Fang Qiuliang had changed into a Confucian shirt today and seemed to be looking good. He bowed and said: "Mr. Fang, I would like to send you a plum blossom. Can your wild goose carry it to Jingting Mountain?"
?”
As soon as Gu Yusheng finished speaking, he saw the bird landing on the straw above the Taoist temple. It stared at Gu Yusheng with its eyes and tilted its head from side to side.
"You really have a sweetheart?"
Fang Qiuliang's eyes fell on the wooden sword tassel on Gu Yusheng's waist.
"A gift from the girl?"
Gu Yusheng scratched his head a little greenly.
"I just want to tell Miss Mo that the snow and plum blossoms are both beautiful this year."
Fang Qiuliang looked kindly: "Is there nothing else?"
Gu Yusheng held a plum blossom frozen in ice and hesitated: "It's gone."
Fang Qiuliang moved his fingers, and the bird flew down and circled around Gu Yusheng a few times. Suddenly it opened its beak, and a strange suction force appeared, sucking in the frozen plum blossom.
The bird fluttered its wings, and while circling in the sky, its wings grew bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, it rose up on the blue clouds, with a wingspan of tens of feet. After a few moves, it turned into a black spot heading south, and finally disappeared.
.
Gu Yusheng raised his head and stared at the sky. After a long time, he looked away and looked at Fang Qiuliang, who was standing at the door of the Taoist temple with the old god.
"Is it really a wild goose?"
"Well, give me the money."
Fang Qiuliang stretched out his hand towards Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng took out a few ingots of silver and handed them over, "Mr. Fang, is that enough?"
Fang Qiuliang took the money and coughed: "It's not enough."
Gu Yusheng was ready to dig out again.
But Fang Qiuliang said: "Just give me a cup of peach blossom wine."
Gu Yusheng took off the wine gourd from his waist and poured Fang Qiuliang a cup of peach blossom wine.
Fang Qiuliang stood alone at the door of the Taoist temple and tasted it carefully, but did not let Gu Yusheng enter the Taoist temple again.
Gu Yusheng thought of something at this time and asked: "Mr. Fang, I remember that my father had a backpack with books in it. It disappeared later and I didn't find it at home. I wonder if it was left with you?"
Fang Qiuliang was a little surprised.
"You want to follow your father's path?" www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
Gu Yusheng shook his head and said, "I just want to find that book box."
"Not here with me."
Fang Qiuliang pointed to the bookshelf inside the Taoist temple.
"All the books I have kept over the years are here. I remember that when your father traveled to Xianhuzhou, he brought them with him every time."
Fang Qiuliang saw that Gu Yusheng's brows were thoughtful and thought for a moment.
"There is a teahouse on the border of Xianhu Prefecture and Qingping Prefecture. Every time your father goes on a study tour, he will go to that teahouse to drink a bowl of Xianyun tea. It is also your father's favorite place to stay.
That’s not necessarily the case.”
Gu Yusheng's eyes were bright and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for informing me."
Gu Yusheng recalled in his mind what Mo Daru told him that night. In the courtyard of the Peach Blossom Forest, there were still several volumes of books placed by Mo Daru. When he went down the mountain, he went to look at those books. He knew
, those books are extremely important.
They are so important that I dare not carry them around easily for the rest of my life.
Gu Yusheng also understood that if he wanted to see Miss Mo again, he could only complete Mo Fanchen's important commission.
Before that, he had to borrow the sect's Sky Monitoring Mirror to investigate his father's demon slaying.
He has been in Qingyun Town for many days, and there have been no monster attacks. He expects that he will be able to complete the tasks issued by the Sect's Affairs Hall in the near future, and then he can return to Qingyun Sect to ask He Hongnian to borrow the Supervisory Sky Mirror.
Gu Yusheng secretly thought about what he would do in the future, but he heard Fang Qiuliang say: "It is not an easy task to go to the border between Xianhu Prefecture and Qingping Prefecture. That year, the big demon of Qingping Prefecture invaded, and those demons
Most of the beasts came from Xianhu Prefecture. The Demon Slaying Alliance has closed several main roads to Xianhu Prefecture. They can only leave the city through Sifang City, and they must register at the city lord's palace in Sifang City and apply for corresponding border ultimatums.
, it’s a bit troublesome anyway.”
After finishing speaking, Fang Qiuliang pointed to the stretching Qingping Mountains to the west: "Of course, if you can jump over Qingping Mountains, it's the nearest road, so it won't be so troublesome."
Sifang City?
Hearing this name, Gu Yusheng's heart skipped a beat.
He remembered that He Hongnian had said that when his father went out to slay demons, he was just outside Sifang City. The Taixu Bead on the gate of Sifang City recorded that scene.
He just wanted to borrow the Sky Monitoring Mirror from He Hongnian to investigate what happened back then, but he ignored the most primitive existence.
He Hongnian has been reluctant to lend him the Sky Monitoring Mirror. What if there is a hidden secret and resistance? If he goes down the mountain quietly and goes to Sifang City, wouldn't he have a chance to find out the truth?
Think of this.
Gu Yusheng began to secretly figure out how to act quietly.
