The Lord who use immortals as food

The courageous inquiry only made Pei Ye more confused. He squinted and saw that there was a smile hidden in the corner of the girl's mouth in front of him.

"Hmm... How about Pei Shaoxia go ask the eldest grandson." Cui Zhaoye came up with an idea seriously, "Although she respects Mr. Xu very much, if Pei Shaoxia begs to grind her down, she will definitely give in with a look of embarrassment."

Pei Ye could actually imagine that scene, but he shook his head and said sideways, "I am an upright person."

What she meant was that her eldest grandson was kind-hearted and easy to bully, and could not refuse her friend's request, so Pei Ye would not go along with her.

"Okay, I'm just giving you an idea. I don't care whether Pei Shaoxia wants to use it or not."

The carriage moved forward quietly and quickly. Pei Ye turned his head and lifted a corner of the curtain. The atmosphere was already a little different. The noisy market gradually faded away, replaced by a wider, smoother and quieter black stone road. The walls on both sides were tall and neat. Standing up, the eaves of the wall are covered with green tiles, and stone animals stand on the eaves.

If the people passing by on the road are not noble, they must be wearing jade, and occasionally there are men and women with silver patterns of dragons floating on their clothes.

The people who live in Bafang, Zhengdong of the Imperial City, cannot be described as "rich". Even though Mr. Di currently lives in Jing Zhaoyin, he has not yet been able to have an official residence here.

Pei Ye watched quietly for a while and then lowered the curtain: "Miss Cui, is the person behind this fantasy building really hidden that deep? You have been there many times and you don't know who he is?"

Cui Zhaoye hesitated: "I really don't know, but...it can't be said that it is 'hidden' deeply."

"oh?"

"Because..." Cui Zhaoye tapped his chin lightly, "If someone wears a mask, it means that he doesn't want to reveal his true face, so naturally no one will pry."

"...Just one attitude is enough?"

"Just one attitude is enough." The girl said.

"Pei Shaoxia will know it when you go there. It is not an occasion where you need to introduce yourself, nor is it a strange place. People at the banquet will not meet each other in the fantasy building, but they will meet in other places." Cui Zhaoye looked at this The young man, who was still thinking in the world and had no understanding of certain things, smiled as if he didn't know how to say it, "No one will be vigilant to explore the identity of the master - of course, if you know it, you will know it, master." It’s not like hiding one’s head and showing one’s tail.”

She tilted her head and said, "Because Huan Lou is not secretly gathered by one person with only his own confidants. For example, the Xunfang Garden we are going to now is the territory of the Lu family, but there are not many direct descendants of the Lu family in Shenjing. They also They don’t come often; and every time there is a banquet in Huanlou, there is always a Jinwu Guard to patrol, which is a matter of Nanya or the military; as for dancers, singers, fine wines and delicacies, there are even more suppliers. And where is the cook from our Cui family..."

Pei Ye nodded slowly. He roughly understood that this was a banquet, not a secret meeting. These resources with extremely high thresholds are always easy to come by for some people. That person casually gathered the power around him to build this illusion. The building - maybe just as he casually ordered Taiping Cao and Fengshuiwu to fetch the sharks, and that obviously also entangled the power of the Yan Palace.

Then such a master is not willing to reveal his identity to everyone, and his will will certainly be carried out.

Pei Ye thought about it quietly, and the carriage suddenly turned in a smooth arc, and then the horse slowed down. Cui Zhaoye on the opposite side smiled: "Young Master Pei, Xunfang Garden has arrived."

Pei Ye opened the curtain and came down. It was completely different from the noisy scene he imagined. It was even quiet here, and they were the only ones around.

But it was definitely not deserted, because the first thing Pei Ye smelled when he stepped on the stone bricks... was the fragrant fragrance of flowers.

What was blowing on his face was the warm east wind.

He couldn't distinguish the season for a while, and subconsciously looked back. The cold color on the outer wall of the garden was still there, and it was clearly still the cold winter months.

But in front of us are indeed green grass and soft flowers, tall poplars and weeping willows, and unique flowers and trees hidden among the red walls and black tiles. Coupled with the fine weather today, it is a completely beautiful spring night.

"The east wind keeps the flowers strong for a long time, and the flowers never fade." Cui Zhaoye came down from behind and said with a smile, "Xunfang Garden is like spring all year round. It has been like this since I came to Beijing."

"...Hmm." Pei Ye nodded slowly.

The last time he heard about this courtyard was from Xie Chuantang. At that time, the woman found out that people would go to Huanlou after Xunfang Garden, so she lay under the car with a dagger in her hand. However, it seems now that people may not be returning after enjoying the garden. To go to Huanlou, this garden is the only way to go to Huanlou.

He looked up and saw that there were indeed several unique pavilions deep in the garden at night, but he didn't know which one they were.

"We came earlier, so it's just right to walk there, so we won't take the bus." Cui Zhaoye smiled.

"good."

At this time, a servant came to lead the carriage and horses to the side door. Only then did Pei Ye understand why there was no carriage or horse at the door.

"How many people usually attend this banquet? I don't see much excitement in the garden." After walking for a while, the scenery was indeed the most unique and beautiful scenery Pei Ye had ever seen, but he didn't meet a single person.

"It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it is always above thirty, but it cannot exceed sixty or seventy - there should be more than fifty people today."

Pei Ye was slightly surprised. There were fewer people than he expected. If they were dining in Fenghuai, they wouldn't even be able to accommodate ten tables.

Cui Zhaoye didn't know what he was thinking. He was enjoying the rare spring night. When he walked through the path, the branches of flowers were blowing in his face, and when he stepped on the bridge, the spring water was gurgling. The deeper he went, the more sparse the lights became, and only the flowers leaned against the shadow of the moon. , the water moved the stars, the girl suddenly looked back and smiled and said: "Pei Shaoxia, I heard that you like to recite poetry, can I teach you a few sentences here?"

Pei Shaoxia naturally likes to be shared rather than being tested. At this time, he felt tight in his heart after hearing the first half of the sentence, but relaxed in the second half and said with a smile: "Okay."

Cui Zhaoye said: "If you recite it in five words, you can say, 'The night dew contains the scent of flowers, and the spring pool is full of moonlight.' Appropriate. Both of them are called "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", which is interesting. "

"Hmm, interesting."

Pei Ye's eyes brightened, and he carefully wrote down every word one by one. When he raised his head, he saw the girl looking at him with a smile.

"Then..." Cui Zhaoye said slyly, "What Pei Shaoxia was thinking about just now was who should he read to next time in such a beautiful scene?"

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Pei Ye smiled helplessly and looked up at the moon, but there was only silence.

"Hmm~ It seems that there really is such a person."

"There are so many people." Pei Ye chuckled, leaning on the bridge railing, looking at the petals on the water, "No matter who you are with, even a boring person like Yan Feiqing, how can you stay in such a quiet and beautiful scenery? A night is a good thing... What’s missing is not the beautiful scenery, but the gathering.”

Cui Zhaoye suppressed his smile, clasped his hands softly and said: "At this time, we are looking at each other but not hearing each other, and I hope that the moonlight will shine on you."

Pei Ye tilted his head and his eyes brightened: "This sentence is really good. Is it also from the poem just now?"

"Yes." Cui Zhaoye said with a smile, "It's suitable to write in a letter."

"Ha ha."

"These two poems are not meant to be read randomly." Cui Zhaoye sighed softly and continued to walk forward, "Jiang Yue year, life generation... Pei Shaoxia entered the fantasy building for a while, it is inevitable that he will have this emotion."

"Almost there?"

"There are only two turns left."

Black Cat then spoke for the first time in a long time: "Pei Ye."

"Um?"

"What's missing is not the beautiful scenery, but the gatherings. How much more have you secretly prepared for this nonsense?"

"..." Pei Ye ignored it.

The black cat leaned in his ear and said calmly and earnestly: "You can't do this anymore. I already feel a little disgusted by you."

"You're so disgusted."

…

…

The place where he stopped was completely beyond Pei Ye's expectation. It is not any pavilion seen from a distance, but in a quiet small garden. Although it is a unique scenery, it does not have everything Pei Ye imagined.

Not only was it not special, it was even a little remote. Pei Ye suspected that it was on the edge of Xunfang Garden because there were no flowers or running water.

But there are people here.

Two servants in Tsing Yi were guarding the pavilion beside the door. The door was a small and old wooden door, which was ajar at the moment. If you tried to close it, there would be a few bangs.

Under the door are broken sills, old steps, and moss.

Pei Ye could already see through the gaps. Needless to say, there were no pavilions beyond the height of the courtyard wall. There were probably no bungalows behind the door. The old stone slabs paving the path were tilted and cracked, and there were frozen grass roots in the gaps.

But there are indeed guests here.

Two or three groups of people arrived earlier than them or at the same time. Among them was a woman with a dignified temperament and a long sword tied to her waist. Pei Ye recognized it at a glance as Lu Xiu, whom he had met several times in the Sword Xiuyuan.

Next to her was a smooth and elegant young man, but his face was unfamiliar.

And the person who was walking into the garden turned out to be a familiar face. He strode towards them, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled and clasped his fists. It was Shushan Chu Shuiting.

Pei Ye returned his greeting with a smile, but other than that there was no greeting in the courtyard. Lu Xiu lightly glanced at Pei Ye's face and paused on Cui Zhaoye's face, but did not even nod. The young man beside her seemed to be aware of the atmosphere and felt a little embarrassed. His eyes carefully scanned the people, but he couldn't help but linger on Cui Zhaoye's face.

"Another scholar, is this this year's new prospect?" Cui Zhaoye did not dodge, and said with a faint smile, "Lu Xiu, you really can't live without a man."

"Miss Cui also talked about a few gadgets. Is it because she brought them better today?" Lu Xiu glanced at Pei Ye with a blank expression, "The new swordsman in the city is to your liking."

Pei Ye was at a loss.

The young man with a slightly stiff expression looked at him.

Cui Zhaoye seemed to no longer want to look at her, turned around and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Chu, I will make an appointment with you when you are free in the future."

"Haha, thanks to Miss Cui for being so considerate!" Chu Shuiting, who had just kept silent, cupped his fists and saluted, and secretly winked at Pei Ye who was looking over.

‘Brother Pei, it’s best to stay away from these Shenjing bitches. ’ The man sent a message.

Finally, Lu and Xiu went in first. When they reached the door, they took two pieces of silver paper holding something from the servant and poured it into their mouths. Then one of them took a small soft bag and pushed open the wooden door. Walked into the back garden.

Now Pei Ye could really see clearly the scene behind the wooden door.

The abandoned wells are covered in cold moss, and the deserted gardens are moist with dew.

Then the next moment the man turned around and lowered his head and closed the door, blocking his view.

Pei Ye looked at this scene with some confusion, then looked back at Cui Zhaoye.

"The old things in Qujiang are still there, and ghost grass grows in Hua Meng." Cui Zhaoye said with a smile, "After this gate, it is no longer Xunfang Garden. It was half of the former site of Qujiang Pool during the late emperor's time. It was later destroyed by war. The people demolished it... all other parts have been built into new gardens and mansions, but this part still retains its original appearance. "

She walked up to the two Tsing Yis, took out the same two pieces of silver paper, turned around and handed one to Pei Ye.

Pei Ye looked at it blankly. In the center of the bright paper, there was a handful of soft powder, shining like a divine object under the light gathered by the silver paper.

Cui Zhaoye smiled at him, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

Pei Ye didn't have time to stop her, so she subconsciously lowered her head to look for water, then raised her head, but didn't see her choke.

Cui Zhaoye smiled and said: "Pei Shaoxia, if you don't eat, we may be separated soon."

Pei Ye asked himself that he had a black cat in his body and a quail's head in his heart, so he was not afraid. He raised his hand and poured it into his mouth.

There was no dust choking him, and no gravel cutting his throat. Instead, there was a cold, soft feeling that slid into his throat. The wonderful feeling almost made him moan.

Then he felt that his body began to feel light for a moment, and his vision began to become blurred. At this time, a small soft package was handed into his hand by the girl - the feel was simply better than the smoothest silk.

Then he found that his walking was not too affected, but the girl next to him still held his wrist and led him forward, and the laughter floated into his ears: "It will be a little uncomfortable the first time, and you have the cultivation level." , Qi will unconsciously resist this abnormality, you can try to relax."

Pei Ye did as he was told and indeed felt much better. Although his body was still light, his five senses were much clearer.

Cui Zhaoye opened the door and said, "Be careful when you step on the threshold and step forward."

"I know that." Pei Ye defended seriously.

He lowered his head and walked carefully.

Cui Zhaoye was very happy.

She turned around and closed the door: "Open your 'phantom silk'."

Pei Ye realized that she was talking about the small soft bag on his hand, but then he froze.

Standing a few steps away from the path in the deserted garden, staring blankly in front of him... it was a portal.

Exquisite, elegant, even with a hint of...prosperity, as if it has been standing here for many years and has welcomed countless distinguished guests. But Pei Ye clearly remembered... when Lu Xiu and Lu Xiu opened the door just now, there was nothing here.

There is a poem engraved on both sides of the door, with iron hooks and silver paintings, which is elegant and elegant - "Fang Zhu takes the water to mix the magic medicine, and sprinkles the raw silk to change the cold and heat."

"Don't be in a daze, put it on quickly."

Pei Ye turned around and saw that Cui Zhaoye was shaking off the extremely thin "phantom silk" and draping it on his body, so the girl's outfit was changed into a light silk skirt in front of him, with tassels like river water floating in the air.

Then she put a piece of soft tissue on her face, and a picture of a cold peacock appeared.

No wonder people think that this country bumpkin is her plaything. This girl is really precious.

"This is the game that runs through every illusion." Cui Zhaoye said with a smile, "The illusion lasts for two hours. In the first hour, those who are recognized by others have to remove the illusion. After an hour, there are still illusions. Those who are silky can be compared with the ancient sages. There are always some interesting prizes in the competition."

Pei Ye awkwardly put the thin fabric on his body. At this time, he felt a little dazzled - different from the initial discomfort in his head, now there were really bright light spots dancing in the air in front of him, as if The light from the lamp.

Then these light spots began to expand into cracks, like worms twisting in the air.

"You can disguise yourself as you want." Cui Zhaoye said from the side, and then his wrist was pulled forward, "Let's go, you should have seen that world."

Pei Ye followed her through the portal in confusion. When his feet landed on the ground, it was not a sloping soft stone slab, but a hard and flat piece.

He lowered his head subconsciously, and then was completely stunned.

A carved white marble floor.

One after another, one after another, and then endlessly, until they reach the bridge, the water, and the tree.

At this moment, the brightness at the edge of his vision stung him. The young man slowly raised his head. The candlelight and moonlight illuminated his face, and everything on his face slowly relaxed.

At the end of the white marble, on the side of the Diaolong Bridge, behind the green trees, flowers, wine and candles, a huge and towering red tower seems to catch the bright moon next to it.

The maiko flew down from the building dragging colorful silk, her figure was as graceful as the fluttering silk ribbon, the pretty orchid played the dancing pipa, and two white cranes flew up from the lake to the high building. On top of the tall building, the poet in white and black clothes was leaning on the eaves and raising his glass to the moon. The smoke from the Taoist priest's furnace rose together with the light, and the swordsman laughed and danced in a brilliant snow light.

"In the past, I traveled to the Five Tombs. I sang at midnight and the moon filled the building. In front of the silver candle tree, it was as long as day, and I didn't know the autumn in the peach blossoms." Cui Zhaoye also raised his head and smiled and said, "Teach you another poem, Pei Shaoxia, Welcome to...the true heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Yufeng period."
