A person's residence can reflect his character, preferences, characteristics, and so on.People with knowledge look at a room, and they may guess the owner very closely.The cleanliness of his bed can be seen, for example, Gao Ya often spread the quilt without folding it.His education level can be seen from his bookshelf, for example, the elegant bookshelf is full of obscene poems, prose and legendary novels.His decoration shows his taste and financial resources. For example, Gao Ya hangs nothing but his own paintings, and the paperweights on the table are all sponsored by Gao Gao. Even so, he often feels that the house is full of waste. Rubbish.

And in the room he was in, he couldn't see anything.

Or Gaoya doesn't want to look at it.He didn't even bother to sit down.

It is difficult to feel the popularity of the house that has been vacant for more than a month, even if you are mentally prepared.There should be dust on the bed table.But the dust on the top of Huashan Mountain should also be brought by the mountain wind, falling from the sky, and it is clean.The remaining shadow of the sun on the ground is as thin as the clear water.It was getting late, and now it was getting dark very early.The mountain road at night can be imagined to be challenging, and it is not timely to start now, but Gaoya will not stay in Huashan today.So he was not in a hurry.

There is nothing in this room for entertainment except for some Taoist classics that are standard for Huashan disciples. It is hard to imagine what the people who live in it rely on to survive.Desperate, Gao Ya reached out to the South China Sutra, but suddenly remembered the snow in the morning.He didn't doubt the authenticity of what happened, but he was a little surprised that such a moment had passed.

"Is this what you're going to show me?" he asked.

Feng Huanyuan came over; he tried to get close to him as a joke a few times before, but Gao Ya couldn't bear the face to sternly refuse because of his wrongdoing, after all, Feng Huanyuan knew how to measure.But at this moment, he didn't even have this intention, he just stood upright without any hint.The atmosphere was far from being as explosive as it should be, and they were actually exhausted to death.

He said: "It's all. I grew up in this place. You already know it at a glance. There is nothing about me that you don't know."

Gao Ya smiled and said, "It sounds like I took advantage."

"Sorry." Feng Huanyuan said.He couldn't even say these two words; but if he said them, it would only increase the resentment that you only have these two words to say.There is no way, now is not the time for him to be penny-pinching, there is no choice.He himself didn't expect it to go so smoothly.This is not because Gao Ya is too naive or too stupid, but because she thinks too much of herself. This is a fatal point that cannot be turned back even if she hits the south wall.

"Then let me know." Gao Ya said, she was also surprised that there was still a problem. "Kong Fanxiang's sudden death was caused by Le Jingqi?"

"Yes."

"Is the thing you gave Le Jingqi a snow mountain glass bead?"

"Yes."

"Is it you who led Huashan disciples to Zhuomoxuan?"

Although the answer was the same, Feng Huanyuan felt that it was impossible for him not to defend himself. "I have no ill intentions towards Mr. Langdang and Xing Yu."

"Yes, you only have ill intentions towards your juniors."

Feng Huanyuan smiled wryly, "They all want my life."

Gao Ya turned around and said, "Don't worry, I'm not criticizing you. What I'm feeling is sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I have been doing nothing for a few years, and my mind has degenerated to the point where I can only be an afterthought."

Feng Huanyuan hardly knew how to comfort him. "You just trust me too much."

"Yes." Gao Ya readily admitted.He didn't seem to think it was something to regret or be ashamed of.Because Feng Huanyuan has no more chances - Feng Huanyuan has too many opportunities.He added: "You can rest assured. I will not expose you today, nor will I in the future, because it will not do me any good. It is not for me, an outsider, to intervene in the affairs of the Huashan School. If the head of the sect fights, it has nothing to do with me even if you step down on the Jade Girl Peak. You have been hiding your strengths and bide your time in Huashan for so long, and now you are rewarded by God for your hard work. Instead of causing yourself another problem."

Feng Huanyuan sighed: "I was ready to be cut by you a few times from the very beginning."

Gao Ya pretended to be surprised and said, "Really?"

Feng Huanyuan said: "Of course, I won't kill without a fight."

Gao Ya almost burst out laughing: "Is this what you don't need to worry about?"

"Otherwise? What do you want from me?" Feng Huanyuan said, his voice becoming irritable, with an anger that he couldn't detect himself. "They are the ones who killed people, and they were the ones who framed them. They act first, so I can only stand by for nothing, hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and wait for the limelight to pass? Since I went to Huashan today, have you never thought about what will happen? Kong Fanxiang changed his past, sincerely convinced, apologized to me, and everyone lived in peace from now on? I want to live, and you don't want to see if Kong Fanxiang wants me to live!"

"You not only want to live, you also want to be the head."

"So what do I think? If it wasn't for Kong Fanxiang's unscrupulous methods, it should have been my position."

Gao Ya said indifferently: "Yes, you are right in thinking and doing everything right. It's me who misjudged the person, so what does it have to do with you."

When he said this, Feng Huanyuan felt a sense of déjà vu, maybe Feng Huanyuan had expected him to say this, Gao Ya could only say this, after all, Gao Ya couldn't cut him off, even if it was to disgrace herself; Gao Ya only knew this kind of thing A defiant admission of defeat.And even if Feng Huanyuan expected it, it would not help.Gao Ya has already paid the price for her arrogance, so this situation is also the price he has to pay.

"I didn't think that way from the beginning." After a while, Feng Huanyuan said calmly.He thought: I'm not saying this to impress him—I'm telling the truth. "In the beginning, I just wanted to give myself some room to mediate. Even Lao Qi is not as greedy as you think. He is born with flaws in his bones, and he will not live long without the snow mountain glazed beads. If he can't get this thing, he will die. Impossible to help me. I really lied to you, I think, not to mention chopping a few knives, you deserve my life, but I am determined to come back to Huashan to confront Kong Fanxiang, but it is because you brought back tiger tail.

When I threw it away, I meant it with all my heart, and there was no way I could have left anything behind—how could I be so stupid as to contend with the forces of nature?Is it more likely to be picked up and returned than to find a needle in a haystack?But even so, I lost it and found it again.I don't believe in destiny, but you said if this is not destiny, what is destiny? "

"Yes, just like the death of Kong Fanxiang, it is a proper destiny." Gao Ya looked out the window and said. "It's getting late, I want to leave."

"I know that you just feel contemptuous of my calculations." Feng Huanyuan said half persistently and half resentfully. If there was a sunset on Huashan Mountain, it would also sink like a meteor. "You have never looked down on these things, fighting for power, fame and fortune, and so on. Everything is vulgar, because in your eyes, a hundred years is just a handful of loess. But there is still a hundred years before the loess, so I should just spend my life doing nothing? The turmoil in the rivers and lakes is dangerous. Although Huashan is small, it is also the capital to gain a foothold. With this help, I can use a few available people to do what I want to do, and to do what I want. The power of strength is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg, so what can you keep? Apart from pretending to be unrestrained once you get frustrated, what else can you get? Do you really feel satisfied?"

The more Gao Ya listened, the more wrong he became: "Are you investigating me?" After asking, he was not surprised.Injustice or not, in just half a day, Feng Huanyuan has already become an all-encompassing image in Gao Ya's eyes. Even if he suddenly admits that Ge Songyue was indeed killed by him at this time, and he directed and acted himself from the beginning to the end, Gao Ya will not accept it. Trouble.

"I still need to investigate you?" Feng Huanyuan said frantically. "I saw you seven years ago! You haven't seen me, I've seen you! Your idea is not a secret!"

Gao Ya: "...Sometimes I really wish I hadn't been to Fenghuahui."

Feng Huanyuan shook his head. "Not then."

His voice became very strange. "So do you know how cruel you are in Shuiluan...?"

The words at the end of the sentence were vague and muffled, and in the end it was just a moist breath in the ear.This threat was too naked, Gao Ya was startled, and bounced off reflexively, she was already one foot away in an instant, and finally she didn't give another elbow.Feng Huanyuan stood where he was, and smiled melancholy.

"If you still care about that, you don't have to. You've just been alone for too long, and your desires are unbearable. When you're sane, you won't like me touching you."

Gao Ya gave up this dubious logic. "Do you care?"

Feng Huanyuan said: "Maybe I don't care. If I really cared, how could I make you so sad."

In fact, this is not what they want to say.They just have to say it, as if if they don't say it, if they don't seize this last chance, everything will be over, as if there is still salvation now; of course, even if there is salvation now, it will not be saved after talking.The point is that they don't give up.Unless a person is really dead, it is difficult to give up.For a moment they looked at each other in despair, as if the other had some game-changing card in his hand, but they were both at the end of their ropes; neither was more reliable than the other.

Gao Ya withdrew her gaze, and said in a low voice, "What's the point of saying this now?"

Feng Huanyuan said: "I just said it was meaningless. I originally hoped that you would never know."

"Really, do you feel ashamed?"

"Yes, as if you were ashamed."

Gao Ya was speechless for a moment. "You say I think too highly of myself, but I don't think you'll give in too much."

Feng Huanyuan said: "So I will pay back what I owe you." He regained his usual responsive calm, and said with a smile: "At least you will no longer have the risk of taking it seriously."

Gao Ya said: "Actually, I also lied to you. I told you that I had this friend and that friend before. I lied to you. I never had a friend."

Feng Huanyuan said: "You must have lied to me."

He looked up at the broken cumulus clouds in the sky, and felt that it was not likely to snow tonight.It may not snow again for a long time. "The sky is getting dark and the road is difficult to walk. I'll send you down the mountain."

Gao Ya said: "No need."

He walked past Feng Huanyuan almost reservedly, like a guest from afar.Feng Huanyuan still stood until the sound of Gaoya Xiaosan's footsteps disappeared completely.He looked around this dark and familiar small room, thinking that dreaming is easy after all, no matter how absurd, he will not be robbed, anyway, he is bored, and he doesn't even have to worry about being beaten back to his original shape one day.The words on the spine of the book were illegible, and he saw that the oil lamp on the table had dried up, so he continued to stand motionless.

Behind him came the slight sound of bells from the decoration of the saber.Feng Huanyuan didn't turn his head, but said, "Second Senior Brother?"

The visitor did not agree to him.

"Are you angry with me too?" Feng Huanyuan said. "If I don't come today, neither the senior brother nor the junior sister will die. You saved my life with good intentions, but you ended up like this in exchange for a mistake. Maybe you regret it."

There is still no movement behind him, and it seems that even breathing has disappeared.Feng Huanyuan suddenly thought maybe there were only mountain ghosts behind him; although Huashan had never heard of mountain ghosts.But it doesn't matter if the mountain ghost listens to these words, the mountain ghost may not be willing to leave after hearing this.

"You're a very good man, and it's sad to die," he added. "When I was at the foot of the mountain, I thought that even if I died for no reason like this, there would always be a second senior brother who would be sad for me. If I can read a lot, I can read, and if I practice martial arts, I can kill people, but I can't envy the second senior brother's heart. After today's incident, you must be on guard against me, but there are not many of us left, we can only depend on each other, if you can't trust me, you should watch me even more, don't let me do things that will make you sad."

Only dead branches were broken by the mountain wind to answer him.Feng Huanyuan finally felt something was wrong. "Second senior brother, why haven't you spoken?"

He turned sharply.The person opposite was holding Qiao Yu's sword, but it wasn't Qiao Yu.

He smiled at Feng Huanyuan, revealing a row of thick white teeth.

Gao Ya arrived home in the evening three days later.The river was like a barren desert, with cold smoke and decaying grass on the bank. He had not been away for a long time, but it seemed to have completely changed. When looking at the house from a distance, he felt inexplicably dwarfed.He thought that if it was colder, he might not have the courage to go out for a long journey.He never goes out in winter.

The house was well cleaned up, the hurricane caused by the three masters of the Sheng family disappeared like waking up from a nightmare, Gao Shang even brought Dongyue's charcoal to him and piled it under the wall of the yard.Gao Shang told him to say hello first when he came back, but now he just wants to sleep all day.Gao Shang does not lack his greetings.

The room is also very organized, obviously Old Wu has tried his best without affecting his daily habits.On the table was a long, thin wooden box containing a scroll.Gao Ya unfolded it before realizing what it was, and the yellowed silk was painted with beauties in palace attire.
