The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 25 Out of the City
As soon as the young man in green brought the tea, it began to rain patter outside.

I happily walked to the window and enjoyed the rain while drinking tea.In other words, I have been in ancient times for so long, and it has never rained.I stretched out my hand and let the rain slip down my palm. I wanted to see if there was any difference between the ancient rain and the modern rain. If it was different, it would be an anecdote to pick up a few cans of it and take it home.

Seeing that I didn't come back for a long time, Bai Yu smiled and said, "What are you doing? It's cool by the window, come and sit."

I swayed over and said enviously, "You are so nice here, quiet and elegant. In my opinion, I'm afraid even gods can't compare to you."

He smiled slightly and said, "Hearing what you say, it's as if you've been to a place where immortals live."

"That's natural." I blurted out without thinking.But as soon as I said it, I felt wrong.I just studied art in Kunlun, so I can't be considered a god, so I said, "I mean, all the places I've been to are comparable to fairyland, but no one is better than this."

He nodded slightly and handed me a cup of hot tea.We just kept silent like this, the rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops lightly fell on the blue tiles, making a lonely sound, which was crisp and moving.

I ran to the eaves of the door and looked up. The sound was really the soft sound of tiles.

"How did you do it. How come the tiles in your house can play music?" I have become a curious baby now, and everything here makes me amazed.

He smiled faintly, walked over and said, "I have liked music since I was a child, so when I built this house, I asked the craftsmen to make the tiles more empty, so that when it rains, I can hear this natural gift."

I looked at this gentle man in surprise, why did I suddenly feel that after being with him, things that usually seemed boring became so beautiful now?
Seeing that I was silent for a long time, he seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and slowly said: "For some reasons, I am often alone, and I don't have many friends. If I don't do something to pass the time, I will be bored. "

"No friends?" I wondered.

"Yes." He said lightly, "So, the girl is my first friend."

First?Thinking about it carefully, I have forgotten how it was when I made friends for the first time, but this person in front of me has never made friends before.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.

I smiled and said, "Besides my brothers and sisters, you are also the first friend I made after I came here. So, we are both the first, shouldn't we celebrate?" touched it.

He shook his head with a smile. I knew it was really naive of me to do so, so I became embarrassed and thought about how to change the subject.Suddenly, he glanced at the qin and said, "You have such a good qin, so you must play it well."

"Girl, want to hear?" He asked with a smile.

I smiled awkwardly, thinking that playing such a good qin to me would be playing the qin to a cow.However, I was afraid of being impolite when I said I would not listen, so I had to say yes.

However, Bai Yu didn't know this. He smiled slightly after hearing this, and went to tune and pluck the strings, ready to play the piano for me.

How about his piano sound?Calm and peaceful, just like his character, there is never a time to speak harshly.I really want to know what it's like when he loses his temper.

After finishing the song, the whole flower hall fell into silence, only the tea on the stove was gurgling.I looked at his back and felt a little lonely.I stared at him blankly for a long time, then got up and walked to the window, trying to do something to break the silence.

At this time, the rain had stopped for a while, and the setting sun dyed the whole sky red.I sighed and said, "It's going to be another day."

He responded softly, I thought he would say something.But after waiting for a long time, I saw that he had been looking out of the window with a calm expression, showing no intention of talking.I don't like this situation.I turned my head to look at him, and suddenly said, "The room is so dark, why hasn't anyone come to light the lamp?"

He came back to his senses from afar, and said with a light smile, "I forgot, there are guests in the Yulu today. Just wait a moment." After speaking, he turned around gently, went to the table and lit a lamp, The room instantly brightened.

I heard his words sound strange, and asked in puzzlement, "Don't you usually light a lamp?"

"Hmm!" he said lightly.

"Why?" I wondered.

"Because I can't see, I don't need to light a lamp."

I stared at him blankly, feeling stunned.Is there something wrong with my ears?he is a. . .Is a blind man!But looking at him calmly, peacefully and at ease, he doesn't look like that at all.

"Aren't you joking?" I tried to suppress the surprise in my heart and said with a smile.

He smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking?" He cut off the candle and said softly, "Come here, it's windy outside, you'll catch cold."

I stared into his eyes in disbelief.I saw that pair of pupils were as bright as stars, warm and moving, even the eyes of ordinary people could not compare.

I sighed secretly in my heart, I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just said, "You don't look like that at all."

He said lightly: "You must think it's strange that a blind man would be so optimistic. I'm just blind, but I can still hear and feel. In fact, the world I feel is just as colorful. You see, I can listen to the clear sound of silk rain hitting the tiles in this rainy cottage in summer, and smell the sweetness of flowers and branches in the breeze in spring, isn’t it great?”

I admired: "You are indeed the most cheerful person I have ever met. Even a person with eyes may not be so happy."

He smiled lightly, but soon the smile froze on his face.Did I make him unhappy? "What's wrong with you?" I asked.

After a pause for a while, he turned his head and said calmly, "Your friend is here."

"My friend?" I looked at him wonderingly.

He nodded solemnly, "That's the one who crossed the river with you." Thousand-faced fox?When I heard him say that, my heart skipped a beat. "How do you know?" I panicked.

"It's the taste." He said lightly.

smell?Yes, Qianmianhu has a very strong smell, and anyone who has smelled it once will never forget it, let alone a person like Bai Yu.

"Then what shall we do?" I asked in fear.

Bai Yu didn't answer, and said loudly: "Since Your Excellency is here, why hide in the dark and dare not show up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a charming smile from outside the window, and then a gust of cold wind blew out the candle, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

I was afraid in my heart, and subconsciously leaned against Bai Yu at that moment.Bai Yu stretched out her hand to protect me and whispered, "Don't be afraid!"

At this time, there was a dead silence in the room, and there was no sound outside the window.I looked around in horror, and in the blink of an eye, there was a dark shadow in the room.He only heard the black shadow say: "Shui Lingzhu, you make it easy for me to find it. You are still the first one to escape from the hands of my thousand-faced fox over and over again."

I nervously tugged at Bai Yu's sleeve, "What do you want? Let me tell you, I... I'm not afraid of you. If you're sensible, let's go."

Qianmianhu chuckled, and said disdainfully: "Stinky girl, you dare to say such things when you are about to die. What? Are you really desperate?" After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves lightly, and a white light shot towards me in a flash .

Unprepared, I couldn't help but fall back.There was a sudden clang, and I turned my head to look again, and saw a short knife gleaming with cold light between Bai Yu's two fingers.

Qianmianhu never expected that someone could catch her sharp blade quickly and accurately, he was taken aback, and then said viciously: "Who are you? Are you impatient?"

Bai Yu threw the dagger on the ground, and said gently: "Miss Ruoshui has no grievances with you, why do you insist on forcing each other so hard?"

"Haha..." Qianmianhu laughed sharply, "So what? My aunt just likes it, can you control it? Who are you? Could it be Shui Lingzhu's lover?"

"You, you are talking nonsense!" I said angrily when I heard her swearing.

"What? I mentioned your sore spot, didn't I!" Qianmianhu sternly said.

"You..." My face sank, and I reached out to touch the sword.

Bai Yu pulled me back and shook her head, and said slowly, "It doesn't matter who I'm next to. It's just that Miss Ruoshui is a pure and pure girl. It's a bit too much for you to say that."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to live, just hand over the water spirit pearl to me obediently, otherwise" a cold light flashed in her eyes, "otherwise, I will kill you."

Bai Yu smiled slightly, and said: "Your Excellency wants to take your life, just take it. However, I'm afraid you don't have the ability yet."

Qianmianhu snorted coldly: "Then try it!" After saying that, with a whistling wind, Qianmianhu's palms had already attacked Bai Yu's face door.

Bai Yu stood in front of me with a vigorous step, raised his left hand slightly, and followed the trend with his right hand, making a move to attract the bird's tail, immediately reducing the palm strength of the thousand-faced fox to nothing.

"Good boy! Ziyun Mountain, who is the Taoist Lingchi in Tianxing Cave?" Qianmianhu asked.

Bai Yu cupped his hands slightly: "Master Lingchi is here to teach you my mentor. Since your Excellency is acquainted with your teacher, can you let Miss Ruoshui go today for the sake of your teacher?"

This Bai Yu really treated me well, even the master moved out to save me.

Only Qianmianhu frowned, and said sharply: "That old ghost in Lingchi caused me to be imprisoned for 500 years, how can I not know him. Well, since I can't deal with him for the time being, I will kill him Let him know that life is worse than death."

I saw the corners of Qianmianhu's mouth twitching slightly, and I knew it was wrong, so I quickly said to Bai Yu: "Mr. Bai, you go away. Qianmianhu is very powerful, and she doesn't dare to kill me just now. This matter has nothing to do with you, you Don't worry about it." After that, I drew out the cold light sword in a flash, and stabbed at the thousand-faced fox.

Qianmianhu sneered, flipped his sleeves up and down, and with a light squeeze of his fingers, he broke my sword light.I was shocked, I walked three steps to the east, five steps to the west, and drew out a eight-diagram formation with my feet, trying to trap the thousand-faced fox in the formation.

Unexpectedly, when the thousand-faced fox saw me forming a formation, it actually floated in the air.I only heard the whistling wind above my head, and her palms had arrived.I was taken aback, and quickly dodged, but I was still a step too slow, and was immediately covered by her palm, unable to move.

At this time, there was a flash of blue light beside him, Bai Yu had already caught Qianmianhu's palm wind, and then clapped out two palms.Seeing Bai Yu's heavy palm, Qianmianhu didn't dare to catch it forcefully, he tapped his foot lightly, and with a roundabout, he shot about Zhang Xu.

Seeing the thousand-faced fox retreating, Bai Yu stopped me, stepped a little, and flew out of the window.Seeing us running away, Qianmianhu gave a big shout and immediately chased after us.

Although Bai Yu's lightness skill is excellent, but after all, he has one more person in his hand, so it didn't take long for Qian Mian Hu to catch up.

I heard the whistling wind behind me, and when I turned around, I saw the thousand-faced fox was only a few feet away from us, so I said anxiously: "Mr. Bai, please let me go. I will drag you down like this, so go away."

Bai Yu said loudly: "You said that we are friends. If a friend is in trouble, there is no reason not to help."

"But, that stinky fox is about to come after him." I said anxiously.

Bai Yu glanced sideways, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have a solution."

"Ah?" I was about to ask him what to do when I suddenly felt my feet sink and we had already landed on the ground. "What are you going to do?" I asked.

Bai Yu smiled slightly, pulled me up and turned around a corridor, and arrived at a yard full of rockery.He took me around east and west, and I fainted after a while. "Where are we going?" I wondered.

He raised his hand and made a silent gesture, then held his breath and listened.After a while, the hysterical shouting and cursing of the thousand-faced fox came from the south.But the strange thing is that we are obviously very close, but the stinky fox didn't notice us.

I stared blankly at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu turned her head and said softly: "Now let's go out." After speaking, with a light leap, we were already outside the fence.

When we jumped out, I glanced back and saw the red figure of the thousand-faced fox circling in the rockery, apparently trapped by something.

"Have you set up formations in your own village?" I asked after leaving the village.

Bai Yu nodded and said: "The craftsmen who built this village are well-versed in the number of dunjia, so there are traps everywhere in this village. After I bought this village, I made improvements. Usually, if there is no guidance from the people in the village, Outsiders can't get in at all."

I tilted my head, looked at Bai Yu in amazement, and thought that the world would be impossible without him.

"What's the matter with you?" He asked after listening to my silence for a long time.

I shook my head and said, "Then where are we going next?"

Bai Yu said thoughtfully: "With the skill of the thousand-faced fox, we can definitely break through this maze of mountains before dawn. Therefore, we have to leave the city as soon as possible."

I nodded and followed him overnight to the south gate closest to Zhuangzi.However, we were still one step too late. We had already passed the time of Haishi, and the gates of the city had been closed long ago.

"Then what do we do now? Do we have to go to the other doors?" I asked.

"The south gate of Chang'an City is the latest to close, and it's too late now." Bai Yu said lightly, "It's getting late now, Zhuangzi can't go back. You're tired too, why don't we find an inn to stay and talk about it first."

I looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed late, so I nodded.

We found an inn closest to the city gate, but the fly in the ointment was that there was only one room in that inn, and the situation was the same when we went to other hotels.

Out of curiosity, I asked the shop owner, "Shopkeeper, is there any happy event coming here in Chang'an City? Why are all the restaurants nearby full of customers?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "In three days it will be Guozhang Wu's [-]th birthday. Therefore, in these two days, officials, big and small, have all come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. Don't talk about small shops, all the post houses in Chang'an City have already It was full of people seven days ago."

"Wu Guozhang? Who is that?" I wondered.

"Maybe the girl is not from Chang'an." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This Guozhang Wu is the most beloved concubine of the emperor today, the father of Concubine Li, who has power in the court, as long as he makes friends with the old man, he will be rich and rich. Is it just a matter of moving your mouth?"

Judging by the flattering expression on the boss's face, it is estimated that Wu Guozhang would be willing to carry the shoes even if he asked him to.I chuckled and turned to look at Bai Yu.

But Bai Yu's face was solemn, and he seemed not very happy.

"Are you okay?" I patted him.

He smiled slightly, shook his head, took out a piece of silver, and asked for the remaining room.

The boss graciously led us into the room, lit the lamp, and exited carefully.

Bai Yu turned around and asked, "Is this room okay?"

I nodded, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't see, so I smiled and said, "It's pretty good, it's very clean, and the layout is very elegant."

Bai Yu smiled and said: "That's good, I will wrong the girl tonight. We will leave the city at dawn tomorrow morning."

"Good!" I said.

He smiled lightly, then walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Could it be that he is leaving?
He turned his head and said softly: "The thousand-faced fox may come after him at any time. You can rest assured and sleep, I will go to watch the night."

"Hello!" I was about to say, don't bother, but the door slammed shut again.

At night I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.I am afraid of both the thousand-faced fox and the white feather.I got up quietly and opened the window, wanting to see what Bai Yu was doing.When I opened it, I saw him sitting on the stone bench in the yard, the moonlight slantingly reflected on his face, looking peaceful and serene.

What a strange man he was, I thought.Both he and Xuanchi gave people a sense of security, but he was much more mysterious than Xuanchi.Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, how could I recall Xuanchi?I shrugged, closed the window, and went to sleep.

I slept until midnight when I suddenly felt someone pushing me.I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw a human face in front of me. "Ah..." I was startled, and as soon as I yelled, my mouth was covered by a big hand.

"It's me!" Bai Yu whispered.

I rubbed my eyes and saw that Bai Yu's expression was different, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Thousand-faced Fox is nearby, we were too careless, she must have come after you after smelling you."

I picked up my nose and smelled myself, "It doesn't smell!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I can't smell my own smell. Well, get up quickly, we have to leave quickly."

Before we left, we changed our handymen's clothes, found two more bamboo hats, and then slipped out through the small door.At this time, it was just dawn, and there was no one on the street. It was deserted, which made people feel inexplicably ominous.

When we arrived at the south gate, there were already many small traders out of the city gathered there, and then a pair of sleepy-eyed officers and soldiers walked over and opened the gate.We blended in with the crowd and headed out of town. . . . . .
