Volume 2: Devil's Head to the South Chapter 406: He's gone
Since she opened her shop in Fenglin late, she has seen a lot of customers of all kinds. But this is the first time she has seen someone like the woman in front of her.
If you look at the woman in front of you from an ordinary perspective, she is only wearing a simple white dress and has no exquisite makeup.
Even the three thousand black hairs were not taken care of at all, and just letting one soft black hair fall naturally was really not that good.
But this simple look can bring out the peerless beauty of this woman from the most extreme angle.
Murong Qingzhu was originally the daughter of a large family, and she was considered an exquisite person with countless admirers. But at this moment, she was completely lost.
How can there be such beauty in this world?
This woman's face is like a silver plate, her eyes are like autumn water, and her two crescent-shaped eyebrows are even more perfect.
Under the nose, between the red lips, there are two rows of teeth as white as jade.
Up to this moment, although this woman has always been expressionless.
But Murong Qingzhu found that her eyes were like a pool of clear water when she looked at him.
While looking around, the natural gaze makes people feel a sense of elegance and elegance.
It was just a moment, just a glance back. But she was so captured by this glance back that she actually felt ashamed of herself.
At that moment, Murong Qingzhu clearly felt that she did not dare to blaspheme the woman in front of her in her innermost thoughts.
However, it was precisely because the woman in front of him was so beautiful that Murong Qingzhu couldn't help but think about what she would look like if she smiled.
If she really smiled, then a simple sentence like "smiling like a flower" would be unable to describe the thrilling and peerless beauty, right?
Moreover, this woman's figure is also extremely graceful. She is slightly plump, but just right. In addition, she has ice-cold muscles and jade bones, and her skin is whiter than snow.
Such a woman, such a creature!
Just one glance made Murong Qingzhu, who was also a woman, completely stunned and immersed in the feeling that glance back brought her.
However, after this glance, when Murong Qingzhu really thought about it.
Murong Qingzhu also felt from the bottom of his heart that the woman in front of him was definitely not a human being. Such a woman really deserved the words "This woman should only exist in heaven."
"Sister, what would you like to drink?"
After waking up, Murong Qingzhu would not neglect this guest. She smiled and walked quickly towards the person in front of her.
Strange to say, although she didn't know who the person in front of her was, she actually felt a sense of intimacy after seeing the person in front of her.
It was as if they were also old friends.
But she prefers to believe that this feeling is just her illusion. Although Gu Qingyang once gave her the same feeling.
However, regardless of past and present life, Gu Qingyang was a real secular person.
Gu Qingyang has never given her that unique feeling. In her understanding, Gu Qingyang has always been a pure practitioner.
In contrast, the woman in front of her was extremely beautiful, yet charming but not vulgar, and her temperament was completely out of the world.
Even someone like her would feel ashamed after seeing her, thinking that she should only be the kind of fairy girl that can only be found in heaven.
How could Gu Qingyang be compared with this woman?
However, just after a moment, the woman seemed to have made up her mind.
She looked around in silence first, and then found a spot casually. She casually said to Murong Qingzhu calmly:
"Whatever does the person who always sits in this seat drink, please ask this sister to give me something to drink."
"I don't go out very often. I just happened to meet a young man outside, and I feel like I've hit it off. I think it must be the right feeling in my heart."
"Um?"
"Okay, okay, sister, please wait a moment."
…
After hearing the words of the woman in front of him, Murong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately walked towards the counter where the wine was placed.
Only Murong Qingzhu knew that at the moment she was stunned, she had already had some doubts about the woman in front of her.
Her intuition told her that the beautiful woman who appeared in front of her today was definitely an extremely terrifying existence.
Ever since this woman appeared, she has only done two things.
The first thing to do is to choose a seat, which looks ordinary.
But as the owner of Feng Linwan's tavern, only she, Murong Qingzhu, knew that that position belonged exclusively to Gu Qingyang.
As long as Gu Qingyang is also in this maple forest night, that position will almost definitely belong to him. If the woman in front of him just chooses and doesn't say those words.
Then, she would not doubt this woman.
But this woman happened to complete the first thing she chose, and then she completed the second thing she came here to do.
The second thing, to put it bluntly, is to choose wine. Her Fenglin evening wine has many categories, including spirits that rough people like.
There are also clear wines that are the favorites of literati and elegant guests, and there are also wines brewed from spiritual fruits that the female nuns like to taste the most.
Logically speaking, her unique customer obviously has many choices.
But she chose to drink the kind of wine that Gu Qingyang usually drank.
What does this choice, coupled with the words this guest said to her, indicate?
I'm afraid it doesn't even need to be her. Even if it's anyone else, you can guess that today's guest is here for Gu Qingyang.
"What did that kid do again?"
"Is it possible that you provoked others on their way here, or that you teased them? Are they coming to me to ask for punishment?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Given that kid's current situation, it would be extremely difficult to communicate with others, let alone teasing others, right?"
"What happened?"
"hiss--"
"This kid is still the same as before. He still looks so uneasy. However, I have taken care of his affairs."
"This girl is indeed extraordinary, so beautiful, and her strength is probably not bad at all. But who told that boy to call me sister?"
"Today, if this girl didn't come here to ask questions but just wanted to get along with that boy, then it would be a good thing."
"But if she doesn't come with good intentions—"
…
In just a short interval of drinking wine, Murong Qingzhu's thoughts had already changed countless times. However, these thoughts were just thoughts after all.
She knew very well that it would be useless to let her thoughts change. The only person who could really determine the outcome was the woman herself.
It would be best if she came with good intentions.
But if she comes with malicious intentions, can she still be afraid of her? With this thought, Murong Qingzhu took out a jar of Gu Qingyang's favorite wine.
On the other side, she took out a jar of fine wine that she liked to taste very much. After a while, she brought the wine to the woman.
"This jar is the wine you asked for, sister. This jar is the wine I gave to my sister when I saw her and thought I was very special."
"Sister, please enjoy it with all your heart. If there is nothing else, I won't disturb your enjoyment. Sister, you can call me if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you sister."
…
Murong Qingzhu's smile was sincere, and her words were full of intimacy. At this moment, she was already trying her best without making a move.
Many times, the outcome of a matter, or the truth of the matter, can be seen just by looking at the details.
She had noticed that when the guest took the drink, he was obviously a little excited.
From this, she could judge that the other party did not have any hostility towards Gu Qingyang.
Otherwise, the other party does not need to show that feeling of joy and excitement.
However, just when Murong Qingzhu was about to turn around and leave, Murong Qingzhu keenly noticed a slight change in the expression of the woman behind him.
Just when she handed the two completely different kinds of wine to the woman, the woman had already taken out two wine bowls and poured a bowl of wine into each one.
When this woman drank Gu Qingyang's wine, her face was calm, as if she had never drunk that kind of wine at all.
But her eyes were blurred, and she was obviously completely immersed in the feeling that the bowl of wine brought to her.
That kind of wine is called looking back and sighing at all living beings for a hundred generations.
To be honest, that kind of wine is actually a semi-finished product. Because when she brewed that kind of wine, she wanted to incorporate her views and insights on all living beings.
But she has only lived for these few years, and she herself feels that her life experience is not truly complete.
Looking back and sighing at all living beings for a hundred lifetimes means looking back at all living beings for a hundred lifetimes and only understanding all living beings, and finally leaves, leaving only one sigh among all living beings.
Vicissitudes of life, harshness, and endless aftertaste.
This should be the real taste of that wine, but she only achieved the first two points.
The last bit, that lingering aftertaste, was a flavor she couldn't create no matter what.
However, her guest was still obsessed with this glass of wine. To be honest, she did not understand the guest's reaction.
Because this wine is really not perfect.
However, when guests drink wine, they drink wine, and when they taste wine, they taste wine. In that sacred and solemn moment, as the shopkeeper, she would never disturb others.
However, after the woman drank the kind of wine she often drank, her face turned slightly red, and she looked as if she had a deep understanding.
But she noticed keenly that although the woman's face was slightly red, her eyes had never changed and were always as clear as water.
In this way, it is naturally possible to tell which wine suits the guest's taste better at a glance. But is this really a good thing?
"broken--"
"She really came here for that boy."
Murong Qingzhu lay silently on the counter, silently thinking about the motives of today's guest. In the end, he just sighed silently in his heart.
She also wanted to pray for Gu Qingyang. She didn't want anything else, she just hoped that Gu Qingyang could live in peace and safety.
But her intuition also told her that the relationship between Gu Qingyang and this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared in her tavern was anything but ordinary.
However, no matter what she thought, in the end, she still chose to remain silent. She found that this seemed to be the best choice.
The woman who appeared in front of her was still too mysterious after all, and with her cultivation level, she couldn't see through her strength.
Because of all these factors, she cannot act rashly now.
If the woman in front of her is really an old friend of Gu Qingyang, then if she takes action rashly, won't she offend the other party again?
And even if we don’t talk about this contingency and only talk about another contingency, what if this beautiful woman is really Gu Qingyang’s enemy?
The worst that can happen is that we will have a fight when the time comes.
And looking at the situation in front of her, she also felt that the possibility of the latter becoming a fact was really not very high.
Therefore, even at this moment, even if the woman has been tasting wine for a long time, she still chooses to remain silent instead of talking to the other party.
However, what made her even more curious was that this woman seemed to be extremely leisurely and elegant.
Gu Qingyang didn't return for a long time, but this woman was not in a hurry. She always sat steadily in that position, just tasting the wine silently.
Later, the woman would occasionally look out the window, staring at the bustling streets and the people passing by on the streets.
Sometimes she also looks further afield.
For example, the river that Gu Qingyang stayed in just now, but now, there is no trace of Gu Qingyang on the bank of that river.
"You once told me that the life of a mortal is the passing of spring and autumn, and the coming and going of cold and summer. But for people like us, our lives will be extremely long."
"I've lived a long time."
"I clearly remember that I have never been so interested in someone for a long, long time."
"Actually, I don't know if you are the person I should wait for. But you are different and completely different from other people. This is true."
"I can understand your reluctance to show up now. After all, our acquaintance is too accidental after all."
"But I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of gifts you can bring me after you have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers."
…
Sit by the window.
Outside the window is the bustling Jiangnan, with busy traffic and huge crowds of people. But this beautiful woman seems to have never been affected by the hustle and bustle.
She always sat there firmly, occasionally taking a few sips of wine and savoring it silently. But most of the time, she was silently in a daze.
However, no one knows, just in the past period of time.
Silently, she had said countless words deep in her heart to herself and to someone deep in her heart.
Those words were from her heart, and they were her true thoughts that she had not had the chance to reveal to anyone for a long time.
At the same time, far away from Jiangnan, there was a young man in black walking with a stick, literally crossing thousands of rivers and mountains.
This person is naturally Gu Qingyang.
In fact, just a while ago, when he felt the refreshing fragrance, he already had a vague idea that she was here.
But, she can come so calmly.
But he couldn't see her the way he looked at that time. He felt that if he did that, it would only appear that he was not sincere and honest enough.
Therefore, he decided to seize the opportunity that gave him a taste of breaking the situation and wait for the opportunity.
He was going to find a gift for the person he was supposed to meet, a gift that truly suited her and could help her.
So he set off.
However, he has not used any physical and magical powers along the way.
But as he moved forward, visions such as thunder and storms appeared one after another around him.
Perhaps, in Gu Qingyang's own perception, he was just like an ordinary person, constantly moving forward silently.
But on his way forward, the thunderbolt was allowed to be carried by him, and even the strong wind turned into boots on his feet, adding a little speed to him.
Along the way, the sky had never been brighter. Basically wherever he went, the sky would become like a long night.
Gu Qingyang, who was almost cut off from the entire world, didn't know all of these things.
Along the way, what Gu Qingyang has been doing has always been to move forward.
At most, it’s just a matter of following the clear intuition in your heart and moving forward.
However, as time goes by, more and more bone cultivators are following Gu Qingyang unknowingly, covertly or overtly.
The purpose of these bone repairs is also very simple.
In their opinion, a person like Gu Qingyang who has visions accompanying him even when traveling must not be a simple person.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, many ancient books have recorded that such phenomena are generally caused by certain geniuses having connections with certain blessed places and caves.
Even if they are not sure, the things recorded in those ancient books must be false.
But they cannot deny that the things recorded in those ancient books are definitely not true.
So they wanted to follow Gu Qingyang, and they wanted to see where Gu Qingyang was heading to at the last moment.
At the beginning, only certain forces of bone cultivators followed Gu Qingyang.
Later, as the news spread faster and faster, as the news spread wider and wider.
As a result, more and more people are eyeing Gu Qingyang. Until now, there are already many bone cultivators moving forward under the dark sky.
However, after an unknown amount of time passed, Gu Qingyang finally stopped. What appeared in front of him was a mountain range.
"This is - the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?"
"Is there any secret treasure found in this mountain range? How could this guy have walked for so long to reach such a dangerous place?"
"Hahahaha, everyone, the opportunity is right in front of you. I wonder if you will follow it or not? Anyway, I plan to follow it!"
