Shi Wuduan sat with Bai Li in the room for a long time, just reminiscing about the old days, chatting some gossip, Bai Li occasionally asked him about his life in these years, but he always passed it by without saying anything. It wasn't until he saw the tired look on his face that Bai Li left his room and went to the guest room. Shi Wuduan sent him out, watched him walk into another room, then fixed the door again, and sat back in the original place.
On the chair that Bai Li sat on, there was a hair falling down.
Shi Wuduan picked up the hair, twisted it twice around his fingers, and then his eyes fell on the astrolabe hanging with Jinse—to see, or not to see
Shi Wuduan felt that he was not seriously suspicious, but the sudden return of Bai Li was quite different from the one in his impression.
The blood of monsters, patricide...
No one can tell what kind of monsters are and how they originated. They are different from monsters—monsters have demon ways. Most monsters in the world cultivate human form and live a life similar to humans in the world, but It's just that the races are different. Shi Wudu entered Taoism early, and he has seen more monsters than humans.
But monsters only exist in those terrible legends. When the black energy in Baili's palm was transformed, Shi Wuyuan blurted out these two words. In fact, he had never seen this thing before, and he only thought of this in a hurry. One answer, what is that black shadow following Bai Li
According to Bai Li, the monsters in the seal were not able to escape due to the cracks in the ground and the pressure of the mountain lamp, how did he get out now
He came out... What is he doing here again
He is Bai Li, Shi Wuduan said to himself in his heart, he twisted a piece of hair that Bai Li accidentally dropped with one hand, and quietly rubbed his fingers against the edge of the tea bowl in his hand with his other hand, Bai Li is Good brothers, playing around together when we were young is also considered... a life-threatening friendship.
Shi Wuduan stretched out his hand to the astrolabe several times, but retracted his fingers in mid-air. When Bai Li's hair approached the surface of the astrolabe, there would be some shining star threads protruding from it, as if probing for something. Stretching out as if, lightly touching Shi Wudu's fingers, occasionally stroking the extremely long hair lightly.
As if it wanted to know too.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of his room. Shi was startled for no reason, as if he was hiding something, he quickly withdrew his hand, wrapped Bai Li's hair around his waist purse, and then pulled Bai Li casually. Open the door—it was Gu Huaiyang who knocked on the door.
"Brother?"
Seeing that his coat was in order, Gu Huaiyang knew that he hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he said, "I see that the light in your room is still on, so I came to talk to you."
Shi Wuduan let him into the room, and subconsciously glanced at Baili's room when he was closing the door, and saw that he had turned off the light, then gently closed the door again, poured tea for Gu Huaiyang, and sat down. Asked on the side: "What's the matter, brother?"
Gu Huaiyang said in a low voice: "I received Cui Hu's letter today. It seems that the old man is waiting impatiently. He said that he plans to send someone over to take a look. What do you think?"
Shi Wuduan said absent-mindedly: "Unlock it."
Gu Huaiyang frowned: "Your third brother and I also mean the same thing. I've seen it. This Guji City is actually a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past few days, I have sent people to investigate the surrounding small counties and villages. However, if they win over slowly, the power here may not be comparable to that of Anqing, and there is no reason to let go of what they got, but what to do in the future, is it possible to turn against Cui Hu?"
"There's no need to turn around for the time being." Shi Wuduan said, "Let's procrastinate first, replace Guji's first-generation guards with our own people, stockpiling food and recruiting troops is a priority, you don't have to worry, concentrate on doing things, I will deal with Cui Hu .”
Gu Huaiyang gave him a complicated look, and said softly, "Fortunately, I have you."
Shi Wuduan smiled, but did not answer, Gu Huaiyang remembered something, and asked again: "The one who came today..."
"It's a friend of mine. Don't worry, brother. I know him. He grew up with him. He is a good man."
Gu Huaiyang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, it's just that it's rare to see that you have a few like-minded friends who are about the same age. It's good to have more contact. I think that person is extraordinary. If he is willing, tell him to stay Come down, big brother is naturally welcome."
Shi Wuduan paused for a while, then shook his head and said, "This...he probably won't be able to stay."
The candlelight in the room was a bit dim, and Shi Wuyuan had a few particularly long eyelashes at the corners of his narrow and long eyes, casting a shadow, which made his face look a little more delicate, but his eyes seemed to be unable to open. Not a trace of brilliance was revealed. Gu Huaiyang always felt that Shi Wuduan could see things that others couldn't.
He sees too many things in his eyes, so his eyes are extraordinarily deep.
There is no comparison between people.
Some people, if you give him a full meal, he can happily settle down in a corner, but some people, even if they are not born in a wealthy family, and they are not used to seeing jade, but they are born to ignore these things. With every step he takes, he can quickly free himself from the joy of "getting it", set his sights on a wider area, and start to look forward to the next plunder. This kind of dissatisfaction in his bones may make him become A hero might also turn him into a joke.
Gu Huaiyang is such a person.
After entering Guji City, the old days like the emperor of the earth came back again. The people who followed him were generally not high-born, and they were already Amitabha if they had enough food and clothing. Shouting, eating in a restaurant, the shopkeeper waits politely, even if you don't give money, it doesn't matter, for a while, I can't wait to give birth to eight legs and walk sideways in the market.
Not to mention military discipline, I don’t know which monkey mountain I was thrown to pull the flag—who wants to follow others around with their head on their trousers when they can eat delicious food and drink spicy food
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaiyang issued a death order within a few days, and the Guji defenders were not allowed to leave the camp at will, and those who dared to disturb the people would be killed directly.
Naturally, no one took this order seriously at first, but Gu Huaiyang ordered Lu Yunzhou to bring along a group of people, and personally dealt with more than a dozen cases of violations of military orders in the army. Lu Yunzhou was not quick to speak, but his sword was fast, and he rarely fought with others. However, once the knife is used, the six relatives will not recognize it ruthlessly.
One day they killed chickens and monkeys, and the blood splashed on the long street of Guji City, and the next day, these defenders were all honest. Gu Huaiyang was even more busy spinning around, busy changing the way of hitting people with sticks, hitting sticks and then thinking about how to give a sweet date, he calculated everything one by one, and he didn't know whether it was because he had dabbled in the art of war or was born with talent. Surprisingly, Gu Ji and the defenders appointed by many villages and Guos after that were all in order.
When Gu Huaiyang left that night, Shi Wuduan sat under the lamp. After sitting for a while, he took out the astrolabe. He didn't make any movements, just staring at the stars on the astrolabe slowly passing along the established orbit. He stretched out his palm and brushed it over, seven dots lit up on the astrolabe, and if one looked closely, one of the dots was faintly glowing red.
Shi Wuduan stared at it for a long time, and then whispered to himself: "Ziwei is slightly off, and the sun is floating... It's still chaotic."
With a pinch of his fingers, the stars on the astrolabe spun quickly, and a sneer appeared on his usually confused face, thinking that you can change your destiny, but I can't
There is no foregone conclusion in this world, there is a foregone conclusion, so what if it is broken
For hundreds of years and thousands of years, there will always be someone who will stand up with this rebellious attitude and relight the million beacons. If it remains the same, wouldn't this world become a stagnant pool of rotten water
Then Shi Wuduan planned to turn off the lights and go to sleep, so he stood up, but a star wire protruding from the astrolabe wrapped around the purse around his waist, tentatively curling up Bai Li's hair. With a flash of Shi Wuduan's eyes, he cut off Xingsi with two fingers, and then burned Bai Li's hair on the lamp.
He turned off the light with a wave of his hand, thinking a little bit self-deprecatingly, he is really getting more and more obsessed, what is the love of a small ion, a problem that he didn't take seriously when he was a child, now the older he is, the less promising he is, and he is rigid.
In the early morning of the second day, I saw Shi Wudu squatting in the yard, knocking on the rabbit's food bowl and shouting, "Have you got up, Little Ion? Come out, come out!"
He seemed to have made up his mind to raise this gifted rabbit as a pig, and specially made a food bowl the size of a washbasin for it, with vegetable leaves, cake crumbs and everything in it, and the rabbit came too. Those who don't refuse, eat whatever they feed, the more they eat, the more joyful they are. Even Shi knocking the food bowl on the side for no reason can't dampen its appetite.
The boy running errands in the yard couldn't help laughing when he saw him, and asked with his head bowed, "Master Liu, what do you use for your breakfast today?"
"Don't be busy, I'll go out later." Shi Wuduan said, then he remembered something, took out a slip from his sleeve, and said, "Go to the storeroom in the mansion to get some stuff, if anyone asks, just say I need it."
"yes."
In three years, the prefect was cleared, and one hundred thousand snowflakes were awarded. What's more, this Guji City Lord was not very clear when he was alive. His family was very particular about ostentation.
Shi Wuduan saw that the boy had left, so he continued to knock on the rabbit pot, like a little monk knocking on a wooden fish.
After a while, the door of Bai Li's room opened with a "squeak". Bai Li seemed to be in a good mood, looked at him and asked with a smile, "How old are you? What's your name so early in the morning?"
Shi Wudulai refused to get up on the ground, showed him a sunny smile, and said, "Come out with me?"
It seems to be the cave where the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, as if it is still a smiling little boy with two small canine teeth and his trousers rolled up high.
Bai Li's eyes sank, and he was in a trance for a while. When he came back to his senses, he had already walked over and grabbed Shi Wuduan, but the latter didn't stand up straight immediately. He got up on all fours and muttered, "The legs are numb."
For no reason, Shi knocked on the basin to urge Bai Li out, but he himself was sluggish, and his attention was easily distracted. It took him a moment to walk from the small courtyard to the gate. Doing everything, Bai Li naturally didn't want to urge him, and when he arrived at the door, someone delivered the money that Shi had withdrawn for no reason.
Shi Wuduan said with a smile on his face, "Okay, now that you have money, I'll treat you to dinner today."
It's just not long since he arrived in Guji, and he hasn't made a clear distinction between the south, the south, and the north. Whose morning tea tastes good, and whose noodle soup is delicious, they are all like treasures. Even the small stalls in the streets and alleys After eating all the cakes for sale, Bai Li saw him pointing out the country, and also found that Shi Wuduan's "eat poor you" really meant what he said—he is really a very competent foodie.
After walking and playing all day long, Shi Wuduan winked and said to Bai Li, "I'll take you to a good place."
Seeing his wretched expression, Bai Li couldn't help feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, and then saw Shi Wudu took out a note from his sleeve, on which was drawn a simple map, Shi Wudu scratched his hair and said : "There are too many detours in Guji City, wait for me to find them."
Bai Li went up to take a look, and saw that the line marked where to go, but it didn't draw the direction, but there were many road signs beside it, and the road signs said "Braised Lion Head", "Xinghua Village", "Spiced Eggs" ". He then understood that in Shi Wuduan's eyes, this whole Guji city was probably just a big restaurant.
Shi Wuduan led him to stop and go, and as he walked, Bai Li felt something was wrong. Yingyingyanyan's voice caught his ears, and before it was dark, the red lanterns were hung up, revealing a faint light, Very ambiguous.
Shi Wuduan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Here we are!"
As soon as Bai Li raised his head, he was almost furious, wishing he could strangle that bastard Shi Wuduan to death in his hands - only saw the three very explicit words "Gentle Township" on the plaque.
