Chapter 369: Xuanya's Lily
The drunken Taoist priest Zhanrong kept shaking his head while drinking and telling his sad past that he couldn't look back on.
After hearing this, Qiong Wei was also moved by the infatuation of the drunken Taoist priest, which was originally a beautiful love, but it was ruined by this worldly shackles. She thought it would be nice if she could help him.
With tears in his eyes, the drunken Taoist priest said sadly: "For so many years, I have been missing her all the time, but she has not been heard from, if I can see her, then my wish will be granted." "Don't worry, I want to find a way, maybe you two will really meet one moment!" Qiong Wei comforted.
"Alas! She is in the palace of the king of Liang, how easy it is to see her! I have thought about it before, and tried many methods, but to no avail, the palace is heavily guarded, and ordinary people cannot enter it at all. It's harder to see her than to ascend to the sky! How can you, a weak woman, enter the Liang Palace, and bring her to me? Forget it! Don't bother with that, didn't Dao Gu let you learn the method of accumulating alcohol? I'll just teach you little by little!" The drunken Taoist priest was very sad in his heart, he knew that it was almost impossible for his wish to come true.
Ran Qiong Wei was not discouraged, and retorted: "Dao Chief! This is a bad statement, nothing can be seen to death, and if there is a glimmer of hope, you must do your best 100 percent." It's not always a way to think about it here every day. You can take care of Jiutang here with peace of mind, and I'll bring Xuanya to you. When you have your wish, it's not too late to teach me that kung fu. ”
After saying that, he put down the sea bowl in his hand, and before the drunken Taoist priest could react, he left in a hurry.
The drunken Taoist priest couldn't help but admire, this little girl is really a little unusual, she does things neatly, and she is so kind and humble, she is really a rare character, no wonder the head of the Taoist aunt takes such a fancy to her, but he knows in his heart that the little girl will definitely go in vain. It's rare that people really want to help them!
Qiong Wei walked out of the Jiuxian Gate and headed in the direction of the Liang Palace, thinking in her heart, how to enter, how to find Xuan Ya to tell her about the drunken Taoist, and persuade her to meet the drunken Taoist. In fact, she didn't have any bottom in her heart. On the one hand, King Liang is a relative of the emperor, so can the important Liang Wang's Mansion be easily entered at will? She racked her brains and couldn't think of any good way.
There is something in my heart, and the pace under my feet must be accelerated consciously or unconsciously. When she came to the mansion of King Liang, she was already exhausted, but the scene in front of her stunned her! What is the reason? The mansion of King Liang is like a ghost town, it is silent, and there is not even a shadow of a person.
Qiong Wei pondered, could it be that King Liang had moved? Probably not! This mansion had just been built! It could be seen from the brand-new blue tiles and red walls, but when she came to the red lacquered gate, she found the seal with black letters on a white background, on which the word "seizure" was written in that thick pen.
Qiong Wei didn't know what was going on, how could this mansion be seized with such a great power as King Liang? In the middle of this question, she had an idea, and listened to the people around her who had lived here for a long time in a harmonious voice. What is the reason? King Liang's family was beheaded all over the house. The mansion, of course, was sealed.
She couldn't figure it out, this King Liang is so powerful, and
is the emperor's own brother, how could he be reduced to a beheaded death row prisoner, she is full of questions, how do you know that the local people do not know, only to know that it must be the court to hide people's eyes and ears and block the news, after all, this matter is not trivial. She didn't want to ask deeply. This heart was also half cold, and his emotions suddenly fell to the bottom, so he was worried about Xuanya, this full of beheadings meant that all the people in King Liang's mansion would be beheaded.
No need to ask, Xuan Ya, as the daughter-in-law of King Liang, must also be unable to escape the consequences, she can't help but feel sad in her heart, she knows that if she tells the drunken Taoist priest the bad news, he will definitely not be able to accept this reality, she is too sad and tears are not stopping. He wouldn't have thought that the lover he missed every day had already died, and he wouldn't have thought that he had been waiting for more than 20 years to wait for the news. How to make the drunken Taoist accept this reality? She really couldn't think of a good way.
She couldn't face the poor man, and the news undoubtedly stuck a knife in his heart again. She wanted to calm herself down, in fact, when she heard the drunken Taoist priest talk about the unbearable past, she felt very curious, and imagined the true and pure, white and flawless love between Xuan Ya and Zhan Rong under the big tree at the entrance of the village. However, imagination is imagination after all, and she thought of the big tree at the entrance of the village and witnessed the beautiful scene with her own eyes. Maybe there she will think of a foolproof strategy, how to persuade the drunken Taoist priest to be on the edge of the earth, and to devote himself to the Tao.
Thinking of this, she walked non-stop towards the big tree land at the entrance of the village, where the drunken Taoist priest and Xuanya met, and the hut they loved, where they left the best memories of their lives, and those days were also the happiest times for them, what was the magic of it, with this infinite curiosity, she hurried towards it like a fly.
After arriving, I realized that it was very different from what my mind imagined, this place was desolate and barren, every village was dilapidated, and on the desolate and vast land, gusts of wind whistled by, and dust and mist were rolled up, and it was on the soil slope at the entrance of the village that a towering tree stood. This is where the drunken Taoist and Xuanya meet. Although desolate and dusty, it is a poor and remote place, but it is the place where they once fell in love and longed for the most. No wonder that Xuanxiu did not hesitate to spend most of his life to gain fame, and he wanted to leave this place at all costs, this place is so poor, so poor that people can't see a glimmer of hope to live, and there is a feeling of endless suffering. At this time, she was thinking about how to mention this matter to the drunken Taoist.
But I saw a middle-aged woman come to this big tree, holding a thick book in her hand, if no one is studying with relish, as if no one is in the realm, her handsome face, egg round face, embedded with a pair of big black eyes, pointed nose, vermilion mouth slightly upturned, straight long hair hanging down, swaying in the wind, pale gold water-sleeved long skirt, fluttering and swinging, although beautiful and moving, but it is difficult to hide the traces of the years, the temples also give birth to some white hair, the skin is also a little loose, not as tight and moving as when he was young, deep eye bags, slight wrinkles, full of the vicissitudes of the years and the past of people。
Qiong Wei couldn't help but feel ecstatic when she saw this person, she really had nowhere to find her iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get there! Although she had never seen Xuan Ya, when she heard the description of the drunken Taoist priest about her, her ears were already about to wear out calluses. The woman's appearance was exactly the same as that depicted by the drunken Taoist.
Except for being a little old, of course, this is normal, after all, the drunken Taoist priest depicts the image of his lover more than 20 years ago, and he has never seen her at a glance after so many years, so he remains
What he thinks about is still the young, beautiful and touching Qingchun.
The big book that the woman was holding in her hand was "Historical Records", and the woman's intuition told her that the woman in front of her was Xuanya, could she still be alive, this is strange, obviously this Liang Wangfu was beheaded all over the house, how could she still leave a living mouth. What's going on here?
With a lot of questions, she came to the woman, didn't hide anything, and said very straight to the point: "Are you Xuanya?"
The woman was taken aback, looked her up and down with surprised eyes, and asked very vigilantly, "You were sent by the imperial court, right?"
Qiong Wei was shocked, "The imperial court, I, sent here, where did you start?"
The woman was very clever, and when she saw Qiong Wei looking at her in surprise, her heart had already been put down, "It seems that you are not from the court." I've never seen you!"
It was obvious that the woman was Xuan Ya, and she had already acquiesced! Qiong Wei was overjoyed, "Sister Xuan Ya, do you know Zhan Rong?"
Xuanya didn't listen, as soon as she heard the word Zhanrong, she hurriedly asked, "Girl, do you know Zhanrong's whereabouts?"
Qiong Wei smiled slightly, "Not only do I know Zhanrong's whereabouts, but I also want to take you to meet him?"
"Really, I waited so long under this big tree that I couldn't see him, and I asked the neighbors, and no one knew his whereabouts! I know that the most sorry person in this life is him, I am no longer the innocent person I was then, I am no longer worthy of him, but my heart no longer misses him all the time. I know that I am not qualified to talk to him about emotional matters now, and I don't ask for anything else but to be able to see him and be satisfied. The more Xuan Ya spoke, the more sad she became, and the tears had already fallen.
"Sister Xuanya, I have heard Zhan Rong mention your matter, but I only heard that he reluctantly left the country and left this village, in fact, he is also afraid that you will not be able to let him go, once King Liang and the others find out that the two of you are still together, it will affect Lord Xuan's career. I'd like you to tell me about the rest of the story, okay? You can talk to me about it by the way, maybe it will be better to say it. Qiong Wei said sincerely.
Xuan Ya also shook her head helplessly, "My life is really miserable! On the eve of my wedding to Yuanyu, the son of King Liang, I came to the big tree at the entrance of this village several times. I wanted to see him again, but I knew that he was far away, I understood what he meant, he was afraid of affecting his father's career. That's why they try to avoid meeting me before my wedding. I was alone under this big tree, looking into the distance and thinking of him.
The wedding day soon came, and the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Liang Palace's mansion to congratulate me and Yuanyu. For a time, the Liang Wangfu was full of lights, a sea of red, the civil and military officials offered congratulatory gifts, and I saw the joyful expressions of everyone, the radiant look of King Liang, and the proud look of my father. Of course, the happiest thing is Yuanyu, and he is so happy that he can't close his mouth. I know that the most painful person is me. To whom do I tell the grievances in my heart, I am about to share a bed with someone I don't love! In this candlelight and shadow cave room, I am like tears like rain, and the rouge powder has already washed the delicate and touching little face!
