This quaint house is somewhat different from other houses in Suchang. Although it is old, it is well preserved.
Moreover, this house is located in the southeast corner of Suchang City. The environment is clean and few people pass by, so it is quite suitable for living.
After Xu Songtu welcomed the group of people into the house, he boiled water and poured tea for them, and the sky was almost completely dark.
He said to Xu and Gu: "It's getting dark and it's getting late. I have to take Fang He back to the mountain. You two can stay in the humble house for a while. I will be back tomorrow morning. How about taking the two of you around Suchang City?" Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue both nodded, so Xu Songtu looked at Fang He's reluctant eyes and said to her: "It's time to go, master should be worried to death It's over." Fang He had a wronged face, looking pitiful.
Gu Sanyue saw it and comforted him with a smile: "It's okay. In a few days, my sister will come up to the mountain to play with you. It's better, right?" Fang He thought for a while and said, "Then I will urge my father when I go back." , tell him to build the house quickly, so that you can come up the mountain earlier." Gu Sanyule said with a smile: "Okay, but don't embarrass your father too much." Fang He nodded vigorously and talked with Gu After waving goodbye in March, Xu Songtu took Fang He out of the room and went to Bailiang Mountain where the sect was about to be built.
The house was quite large and very quiet at night. Gu Sanyue walked around the house and saw a well in the front yard, so he drew a bucket of water.
She reached in and touched it, only to feel that the well water was cold. She took a small sip, and her lips and teeth were filled with sweet fragrance. She couldn't help but secretly admired the water in this spiritual place.
Gu Sanyue was in a good mood, so he moved a small chair, filled himself a bowl of herbal tea, sat on the grass in the front yard, raised his head and began to admire the moon.
It is the beginning of September. The moon tonight is like a bow, the sky is cloudless, and the stars are scattered all over the sky like chess pieces, blinking their naughty eyes.
Xu Huaigu also moved a chair, walked out, sat down next to Gu Yuyue, and looked at the moon and stars in the sky with her.
As soon as Xu Huaigu arrived, Gu Sanyue ran back to the room, made a bowl of tea for Xu Huaigu, handed it to him, and shouted with a smile: "Master, please use the tea!" Xu Huaigu looked at her with a half-smile and answered. He passed the tea bowl, took a sip, and said slowly: "Gu Sanyue, you have changed a lot." Have you changed?
Gu Sanyue blinked in confusion, feeling uneasy for no reason, and asked cautiously: "Master, where have I changed?" Seeing her cautious look, Xu Huaigu burst out laughing. Said: "I told you, you have changed, but you have become better. Why are you so nervous?" Gu Sanyue finally relaxed his hanging heart and felt a little more relaxed. Asked: "Master, tell me, how have I changed?" Xu Huaigu recalled what happened in the past and said: "Do you still remember what you were like when we met? At that time, I thought you were a particularly strong woman. You have your own persistence and your own pursuits. At that time, for the goal in your heart, you did not hesitate to go to Fuyao Sect to ask for an explanation. Let me tell you, this kind of courage is the best among the many people I have met. Very few people have it.”
"But look at you now, except when you are practicing boxing and sword practice, you really look like a little girl." Speaking of this, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but smile and said: "You call me master now, and your tone is like He acts like a coquettish person, and he always likes to use modal particles such as 'ah, ah, haha'. Sometimes it sounds funny to me. You are older than me, but you still talk like this." Gu Sanyule was ashamed. De blushed a little and whispered: "Master, don't you like this?" Xu Huaigu neither said he liked it nor said he didn't like it, he just took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's fine, whatever you want. "Gu Sanyue pouted,
After saying "Oh", he also looked at the waning moon in the sky and asked a strange question: "Master, you said that the moon and the sun in the sky are always chasing each other, but they can never see each other. Will you be lonely?" Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Then how do I know? Your master, I am not omnipotent, and there are many things I don't know about. I don't know anything about spiritual practice that you usually ask me. I dare to teach you casually, but I'm afraid I'll misunderstand you. As for the sun and the moon, I don't even know." Gu Sanyue nodded and asked: "Master, are there any gods in the sky?" Xu Huaigu said: " Yes, of course. Didn't I tell you that monks only have twelve realms, and only by breaking through to the twelve realms of ascension can they ascend to the fairy world." Gu Sanyue tilted his head, like a curious baby, Then he asked: "Can the immortals after ascending still talk to us?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said: "That's not possible. The immortal world has its own rules. If you ascend to become an immortal, you must cut off your fate in the earthly world. I have never heard of any immortal who ascended to the immortal world and can still talk to people in the original world. Even the slightest contact is not enough." Gu Sanyue frowned and said, "Then aren't they bored? ? As long as you ascend, you will never see your friends again. What’s so good about the immortal world? It’s better to have fun here on earth.” Xu Huaigu nodded and agreed: “Yes. You said, we monks will cultivate for a lifetime What is the purpose of practicing Taoism? For me, practicing Taoism is to protect my family and friends. This is the meaning of my Taoism. If one day, I can ascend to the fairy world, even if I can live forever, I will definitely not go." Gu Sanyue's eyes were bright and he looked at Xu Huaigu with admiration. He smiled and said, "Master, I think you are so awesome." Xu Huaigu also smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, do you think you are your master?" Who. Among monks of the same generation, it is rare to have an opponent of your master." Gu Sanyue shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Master, you are bragging. Although I know you are very powerful, the Central Domain is so big. If you want to say that, I don't believe it." Xu Huaigu didn't care at all, just smiled and said: "I'm just telling you, forget it if you don't believe it." The night wind blew slowly over, making the body feel cold and cold. Refreshing.
Gu Sanyue lay on the chair, letting the wind blow, and slowly closed his eyes. I don't know when, a hazy sleepiness gradually came to her heart, so she fell asleep so quietly.
When the warm sun of the next morning shone softly on her body, Gu Sanyue slowly opened her sleepy eyes. Looking at the bright sun that was about to rise in the distance, she suddenly realized that she had been lying on the bed last night. I fell asleep on the chair, feeling a little shy and annoyed.
But what surprised her even more was that there was a man in black sitting on another chair next to her, looking directly at her.
Gu Sanyue was suddenly startled, jumped up quickly, scratched his head in embarrassment, lowered his head and said: "Master, I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep even sitting down. I got up too late. Don't blame me. That swordsmanship practitioner I will definitely make up for it tonight, and I will definitely practice my sword once." Unexpectedly, the man paused, then burst into laughter.
Gu Sanyue was surprised at first, and then felt that the laughter did not seem like Xu Huaigu, so he raised his head to look at the man, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
That man in black is Xu Huaigu, he is obviously Xu Songtu who left yesterday and returned early this morning.
Gu Sanyue cursed himself twice in his heart. However, he was so thin-skinned that his ears were almost red. He was so angry and anxious that he simply stamped his feet and rushed in the direction of the room.
Seeing her like this, Xu Songtu shouted: "Miss Gu, where are you going? Didn't I agree to take you to Suchang today?" Gu Sanyue kept walking and replied in embarrassment: " Let’s talk later. I need to find my master first.” Xu Songtu quickly reminded: “Your master has left! He just asked me to tell you that he wanted to go for a walk in Bailiang Mountain alone tomorrow. If you come to Suchang again, I just want you to come with me today." Gu Sanyue paused and asked with some fear: "Did he really say that?" Xu Songtu looked at Gu Sanyue's fearful expression in confusion. With an expression on his face, he said, "Yes, Miss Gu. Why is there something wrong with your expression? What's wrong?" Gu Sanyue felt uneasy, and quickly put away his fearful expression, shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing, you saw it wrong. That's it." After that, she quickly walked into the house, closed the door, and stood at the door, frowning, feeling uneasy again.
She was afraid, afraid that Xu Huaigu was going to leave her and go on the road alone. When she thought of this, she began to think about whether she had done something wrong recently, which made Xu Huaigu unhappy.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still don't know what is wrong. After a long while, until Xu Songtu began to urge her, she walked out of the room again, her face stagnant, her head lowered and she walked to Xu Songtu's side in the front yard.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xu Songtu was also confused and asked, "Miss Gu, what's going on? Are you not used to living here last night?" Gu Sanyue looked worried, shook his head and said, "No, that's right. Master is not with me, and I feel uncomfortable." Xu Songtu suddenly understood, and advised her: "It's okay, Miss Gu, Xu Daoyou has already told me this morning, he just went to see Bailiang Mountain, I guess tonight It's time to come back. If the girl really misses him so much, I can take you to Bailiang Mountain to find him now." Gu Sanyue thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, if Master wants to abandon me, he must be I didn't do well and I'm no longer worthy of being his disciple. Since he said he would come back, I'll just wait for him in the city." Xu Songtu smiled slightly and said, "Miss Gu is such a good person, how could Fellow Daoist Xu not Do you like it? Then today, please allow me, Miss Gu, to show my kindness as a landlord and take you to have a good day." Gu Sanyue nodded, so Xu Songtu made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them just walked in front of each other. After that, he walked out of the house and went to the lively place of Suchang City.
