Chapter 12, Wind and Rain Pavilion Ancient Lantern Temple

"Boom !!"

The heavy rain poured down with the sound of thunder, and a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam walked into the ruined temple in the mountains and forests in order to avoid the rain, and patted his soaked clothes with some frustration

"I really don't know how long this rain is going to be...... I really hope that the imperial examination will not be delayed."

Taking off his soaked clothes, the scholar searched around, found a lot of short branches in the ruined temple, carefully collected them, and lit the wooden pile with the fire fold in the bamboo raft

At this time, there was a loud bang in the sky, and a lightning bolt struck the door of the broken temple, and the scholar was startled, and saw a man wearing a hat appear in front of the door, and hurriedly asked

"Brother, it's raining heavily outside, can you come in and rest?"

Nodding, he walked in, looked around, walked towards a corner of the ruined temple, and sat down against the wall

"Brother Tai's clothes are wet from this heavy rain, if you don't mind, you can take off the warmth at this fire with Xiaosheng."

The man didn't reply, just leaned against the wall and looked at the broken Buddha statue in the ruined temple, the scholar saw that the other party didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and put his hand on the fire to keep warm, at this time, the man suddenly spoke, so that the scholar who focused on the fire startled

"Have you ever seen a woman in this ruined temple?"

"Woman, have you never seen ......"

"It's a shame......"

The scholar was puzzled, so he asked

"What's the pity?"

The man sighed, "It's a pity...... You'll never see you again......"

In the next second, the scholar's head was twisted behind his back, his body fell to the ground with a clatter, and a woman's coquettish laughter came from the air

"Giggles"

"Long time no see, Xun'er ......"

As soon as the words fell, a pair of slender jade hands reached out from the wall and stroked the man's face

"Brother Yi, long time no see"

The hat slipped down quietly, revealing a face covered with vines, Yi Feng stretched out his hands and squeezed the pair of Rouyi in his hands, cold and piercing

"Do you still hold a grudge against me......"

The hands vanished, and a pale woman appeared in front of him, her empty eyes staring straight into the other's eyes

"Shouldn't I hate you!"

Yi Feng lifted the woman's hair slightly, touched her face distressedly, tears rolling in his eyes

"I didn't mean to... I don't want to be like that either... Do you know that I have been looking for you for more than 300 years, and now it is finally up to God to reunite us again, can you give me a chance to explain?"

The woman laughed angrily, "I'll give you a chance? Then who will give me a chance! Let me tell you, not only will you die today, but there will be no living mouth left in the entire Yanyang Town!"

After that, the woman's figure disappeared into the ruined temple, and Yi Feng sat down on the ground in disappointment, looking at the Buddha statue in the temple, his eyes seemed to have traveled back to more than three hundred years ago

"Xiaosheng Yifeng, I've seen a girl"

The first time they met, it also originated from a heavy rain, that year, Yi Feng, who was still a scholar, ran into the pavilion to take shelter from the rain, and saw the woman who was also hiding in the pavilion because of the heavy rain

"The son is polite, the little woman Zhao Xun, this is my maid Xiaoyu"

Yi Feng, who got along with the opposite sex for the first time, was very shy, thinking about talking to him more, but also suffering from the fact that he only had sage books in his stomach, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and he didn't know that such an embarrassment fell into the eyes of the woman, which made her feel a little interested. It's a pity that the first meeting between the two ended hastily after the heavy rain ended

The second time they met, it was at a night lantern festival, the two bumped into each other while walking on the road, and after apologizing to each other, they found out that the other party was actually the person they met in the pavilion that day, and the scholar who thought it was a little funny sent an invitation to the woman to enjoy the lanterns, and the latter readily agreed.

In the lantern riddle activity, Yi Feng's skills were overwhelming, and his literary brilliance made Zhao Xun yearn for it, and finally after putting the lanterns together, they were reluctant to give up each other and went home.

The third encounter was a week after the Lantern Festival, I heard that a pair of children of Uncle Zhang, who sold meat, were killed by bandits on the way to migrate, as the small Yi Feng went to Uncle Zhang's house to pay tribute, and met Zhao Xun again, this time to meet the scholar but a lot bolder, the thoughts of many days away from the mouth vented out, but was scolded by the maid Xiaoyu as a disciple, embarrassed and offended Uncle Zhang, only to know afterwards that this Zhao Xun is the second lady of the Zhao family in the south of the city, and this time I came to give condolences to the Zhang family

Yi Feng, who felt that his family background was not worthy of the other party, was depressed all day long, until a month later, Zhao Xun's maid came to the door, which caused the tragedy afterward

"You let go, where are you going to take me?"

Yi Feng took Zhao Xun's hand and came to the temple in the forest outside the city, and through Xiao Yin's secret help, he successfully sneaked into Zhao's mansion and brought the woman out

"I don't agree! I can't let you do that."

"What is the use of your objections, and is it up to you and me to decide?"

"Why can't you decide? Isn't it enough that you don't want and I love you?"

The man's firm confession made the woman unable to extricate herself, and finally agreed to elope with her

But after the Zhao Mansion learned that the young lady was missing, the angry Zhao family master beat the little maid who collaborated with the enemy to death, and then took his own family and the Yamen's arrest to find the whereabouts of the two, and in desperation, the two had to stay away from the crowd and fled to the temple in the mountains

"Brother Yi, we have been hiding in this ancient lamp temple for a few days, I think my father's people will be found soon"

Yi Feng gritted his teeth and thought hard for a long time, and finally made up his mind

"Xun'er, do you remember the wind and rain pavilion where we first met? you go over there and wait for me, I'll do something, I'll be back in about a stick of incense, and then we will go to a place where no one knows us, and start our new life."

The woman nodded with longing, watching the scholar's back gradually disappear in front of her, but she didn't expect it...... This glance is 10,000 years

At this time, the border war is urgent, the whereabouts of the generals in charge of the war are unknown, the army is about to collapse, the Hu people took the opportunity to lead the army to break through the pass, the town guard of Yanyang Town was frightened, only to take care of their own escape, the Hu people led the army straight in, adhering to the idea of not my race, the screams echoed for a while, and the women were directly taken away, the end was extremely tragic, the whole Yanyang Town was full of corpses and a sea of blood,

Xu is heaven can't stand the actions of this alien race, a downpour of rain poured down, washing away the blood, but who knows that this heavy rain is too huge, causing the landslide to pour mud and rocks, Hu people saw this and hurriedly retreated, but it was still not as fast as the menacing mudslide. It flooded the ancient lantern temple in the forest, destroyed countless buildings in the town, and also collapsed the girl waiting for her beloved in the pavilion

When the scholar hurried back to the Wind and Rain Pavilion with an embarrassed look, it was already covered with mud and stones, and he cried and dug the dirt with his hands, and finally found only a piece of cloth from the girl's body, and sat on the dirt floor alone and cried freely.

Started with the Wind and Rain Pavilion and ended with the Wind and Rain Pavilion, how ironic

Time spanned a hundred years and returned to the present again, Yi Feng touched the vine-like stripes on his face and muttered

"This time I won't let history repeat itself, I want to save you! I want to save you! I don't want to experience the feeling of losing you again...... Whoever stands in my way is the enemy, and whoever stands in my way...... I'll kill whoever I want!"
