The moonlight enters the house, and the courtyard is as clear as water. Guiliu was strolling in the courtyard, counting the time with his fingers. He found that there were still two hours before the retreat was broken as Taoist Lotus Crown said. Now the little girl was asleep and she could go out for a walk.
Guiliu turned around and looked into the room, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't let the puppet follow him. Yicheng is at the foot of the emperor, and Zhang Jiqi has carried out large-scale liquidations several times. Even if there are any spies and killers dormant, they are as silent as a cicada at this moment. Besides, if there is any danger, the protector will still be there.
So Gui Liu took advantage of the moonlight to open the door of the mansion and walked eastward along the street. Everywhere he passed, the store doors were locked. Soon he left the area illuminated by the firelight of Zhou Mansion, and the streets became increasingly dark, but fortunately the moonlight was bright and clear, so he could barely see the road ahead clearly.
Continuing to walk forward, a light suddenly appeared in the distance and tore through the darkness. Guiliu walked forward faster, and finally saw clearly that it was a wine shop, which was obviously very warm in this silent night.
It seems that after coming to the Da Feng Dynasty, he never drank alcohol again?
Now I can find a place of peace of mind and drink a few bottles, which is not too much.
With this in mind, he walked into the wine shop and asked the shopkeeper for two bottles of the cheapest wine. After paying the copper coin and preparing to find a place to sit, I suddenly found a figure in a green skirt sitting not far away. It seemed... somewhat familiar?
No matter what, since they are all "yakes" who go out late at night and drink heavily, there is no reason for women and men to drink separately, so Geiryu came to sit in front of her with wine in hand.
But then, both of them were shocked.
"Why are you here?" Guiliu looked at the girl in front of him in shock.
"Who are you to control me?" The girl glared at him.
"If you talk to me like that, I'm going to sue you."
The girl was a little impatient, frowned and said: "Go, go, complain as you like, just don't stop me from drinking."
Gui Liu suddenly felt that it was a bit funny. The young man didn't know the feeling of sorrow, so he fell in love with the building, fell in love with the building, and forced himself to express his sorrow in order to compose new words. If there was no sadness, why would he come here in the middle of the night and imitate adults to drown their sorrows in drinking?
Geiliu took a sip of strong wine. Perhaps it was because he hadn't drank for a long time, or perhaps because the cheap wine was too low-quality. His face turned red due to the spicy taste, but his pores were instantly unblocked and he felt extremely comfortable.
Seeing his intoxicated expression, the girl was dubious: "Is it so delicious?"
Guiliu said with a smile: "Look at your exquisite wine flask, you can tell at a glance that you bought the most expensive wine. But the real treasure of the store never needs deliberate decoration. There is a poem that says it well, Wash away the lead and find the gold; fade away the glitz and return to the true nature.”
The girl stretched out a hand and said, "Give me a taste."
Guiliu pretended to look pained, "This jug of wine alone costs fifty taels of silver. Two jugs of wine cost me a hundred taels of silver. Although I am not a narrow-minded and stingy person, I am really reluctant to part with it."
The girl suddenly put her chin on the table, lay down, and looked at him pitifully.
"Although you look very pitiful, you don't know how to scold me." Guiliu smiled, "How about this, if you promise me something, I will give you a bottle of wine."
The girl straightened up, as if she didn't like others negotiating terms with her, so she frowned and said, "What's the matter? If you deliberately make things difficult for me, I don't mind making a paper doll to curse you tonight."
Guiliu laughed dumbly: "Am I like that kind of person with evil intentions? Don't worry, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you."
"Look, this jug of wine is fifty taels of silver, which is exactly one month's salary of the old gentlemen in our Imperial College. So if you teach the little girl how to read and read for a month, this jug of wine will be yours, how about it?"
The girl smiled slyly, "Okay, I promise you."
Seeing that she accepted it happily, Geiliu handed the wine to her, but for some reason, she still extended her hand after taking the wine.
"What?" Gui Liu was confused.
The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled very nicely, "Don't you think of me as a teacher? Then I have been teaching for half a month, how should I calculate this account?"
Guiliu sighed, thinking that others were bullying others too much, so he silently took out the money from his pocket and paid her.
"Fight me."
The girl was satisfied. After putting away the money, she picked up the wine bottle and imitated the man's example of raising her head to drink wine.
Guiliu was stunned. Shouldn't all ladies drink with their faces covered? This is the strongest soju, and you drink it harder than me? !
With a bang, the wine bottle fell to the ground.
The girl was lying on the table, coughing hard, her neck and ears were red.
"Are you...are you okay?"
Guiliu stood up and wanted to pat her back, but he didn't dare and was a little at a loss.
The shopkeeper heard the sound and rushed over. When he saw the wine bottle that had fallen to the ground and the girl who couldn't stop coughing, he immediately understood what was going on. He quickly opened a jar of cold decoction that had been stored for many years and let the girl drink it.
The medicine had miraculous effects. After the girl finished taking it, her breathing soon became calmer, but her face turned red after being drunk, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that the girl was no longer seriously injured, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, with a gloomy expression on his face, and scolded: "This cheap shochu can't be tolerated by many greedy and drunkards, but you let a child drink it! Do you still have any conscience?!"
Gui Liu's lips moved, but he still remained silent. Even if he really didn't mean to do it, he really thought that the girl would take a sip with caution, but if he did something wrong, he did something wrong, and there was nothing to defend.
The shopkeeper raised his hand and said, "Fifty taels of silver!"
Guiliu was stunned, "What?"
"Do you think I am a kind-hearted Bodhisattva who saves people for free? That is a decoction that I have treasured for several years. Don't you need to spend money?"
This was indeed the case. Guiliu had nothing to complain about and gave him the last money in his pocket.
The shopkeeper reluctantly took the money, glanced at the man, and coldly snorted: "What a shameless thing, be careful next time!"
Gei Liu was not angry at being scolded, and he only saw this girl who was miserable because she had caused a big disaster.
"Are you feeling better? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teased you like this." Guiliu whispered.
The girl was drunk in just one sip. She now had a splitting headache and had no strength to get angry with the man. She whispered: "I feel so uncomfortable. Just wait, I will make a little paper stick and stab you hard." "
Guiliu said softly: "You can pierce me and curse me any way you want, even if I tell you my birth date, I have indeed made a big mistake in this matter. No matter what you do, I will definitely have no complaints at all. But right now We have to go back first, if you don’t go to bed early, you will feel very uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow.”
The girl couldn't hold her forehead, and now she lay directly on the table, saying weakly: "I'm so dizzy... I can't move."
Guiliu knew that she was really drunk, so he said cautiously: "Shall I carry you?"
The girl hummed, and Geiliu gently carried her on his back.
The moonlight was faint and hazy on the way back, making it harder to walk than when we arrived.
Geiliu was carrying a lithe girl on his back. He didn't feel very tired, but he still slowed down his pace so that she could be more comfortable.
"Your back is so hard... It's not comfortable to sleep at all." The girl whispered in his ear.
Geiliu had a bold idea, but he didn't say it out loud.
After walking for a while, the girl made a fuss and refused to let Geiliu carry him on his back, because his back was too hard and it hurt the girl.
So looking at the girl sitting on the ground, Gei Liu could only express the bold idea that just appeared in his heart.
"How about I hug you?"
Hearing these words, the drunk girl suddenly sobered up, hesitated, and finally nodded slightly.
"excuse me."
Guiliu gently held her in front of him.
The girl curled up, brought her knees close to her chest, and said softly: "I won't sink, right?"
"Not heavy, very light." Guiliu replied softly.
"But I always feel like you're going to let go and throw me down."
"How is that possible? I'm not a bad guy."
"You are just so heartless. Very bad."
Suddenly, Gui Liu's steady steps paused, and the girl's arms grabbed his neck.
"This way, I won't be afraid of you letting go."
Guiliu said with difficulty: "If you relax a little, you will be strangled to death."
The girl pretended not to hear.
"Okay, it's my fault, I'll tolerate it."
Guiliu exhaled with difficulty and moved his steps little by little.
Gradually, the arms holding her neck loosened a lot, and the girl fell asleep.
In the hazy night, there were no footsteps, and after an unknown amount of time, Geiliu finally took the girl back to her room, covered her with a quilt, and then left quietly.
When he returned to his room, he saw the little girl sleeping on the bed with her arms and legs spread out. Guiliu felt much relieved. He walked to the door and took a look at the sky. It wasn't time to close the mirror yet. Why was it so long tonight?
Suddenly, a lotus crown was vaguely seen through the treetops not far away.
Guiliu took a closer look and felt a little depressed. What happened tonight? Why are you drinking all the time?
I saw the lotus crown Taoist reclining and drinking, admiring the moonlight like a beautiful woman, like a heavenly being who forgets his worries.
Guiliu sat down next to him, "Didn't you just return to Lotus Cave yesterday? Why did you come back today?"
The Wangyou Heavenly Man sat up, dusted off his clothes, the drunkenness in his eyes receded, and said with a smile: "Master Chun Guan is going to break through the realm, I am here to protect the way."
"But breaking through one realm and two realms, and it's not a life-and-death moment to become a great monk, so it's not like that." Guiliu said.
"Perhaps." Taoist Lotus Crown looked at the moon longingly and said softly: "But there is no such beautiful moonlight in Lotus Cave."
"May I be like a star, like the night, and may the light flowing out every night shine brightly."
Gui Liu also raised his head, looked at the hazy and faint moon, and said: "The moon is temporarily dark, but the stars are always bright. Stay bright and wait for the moon to return, and it will be full and full from time to time."
Lotus Crown Taoist smiled and said: "The time has come, Master Chun Guan can break the mirror."
Guiliu stood up and was suddenly stopped again.
"Wait a minute, why does Mr. Chunguan have a faint fragrance on his body? Could it be that he was pregnant with nephrite just now?"
"Watch your mouth and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
Guiliu turned and left.
That night, during the second turn of Linglong's Nine Turns, a hundred ghosts walked through the night. In the dark night, there were countless ghosts, running wildly, looking for the figure of the monk who had broken through the barrier.
But there was that Taoist sitting outside the door, so the night was uneventful.
When the first ray of light appeared in the sky, Gui Liu slowly opened his eyes.
The Zhuxian sword kept trembling, as if in joy. I am happy that this "monk of two realms and martial artist of two realms" is no longer a castle in the air, floating like a fire.
