Yuanjue Temple is not an ancient temple in the deep mountains, but it is a small temple in the suburbs of the city, the incense is not very prosperous, surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, but also quiet. Shen Biyan chose such a place to offer incense, because she didn't want people to disturb her meeting with Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng arrived at the main hall of the temple alone, Shen Biyan heard the footsteps, his heart swayed, the stick holder in his hand made a noise, and the bamboo stick fell to the ground.

She didn't care much, stood up to meet her, and looked at Mu Cheng in a green shirt and wanted to cry.

The woman in front of her is more radiant than snow, her face is beautiful, and her eyes are like a pool of autumn water, which is swaying. Mu Cheng sighed lowly, in his eyes, she was still the wayward woman who pestered him every day to ask him to read poems to her, teach her Yaoqin, and accompany her to paint. Yes, in the eyes of Tiandu people, Shen Biyan, a talented woman who knows how to read and show her wisdom, is a wayward woman he has spoiled for more than ten years......

"I'm going to enter the palace in ten days," she lowered her head, not wanting him to see her pear blossom rainy face, "I'm here today, but I want you a word." ”

He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the heartache turned in his chest, "Bi Yan, I said it, I can't accompany you for a lifetime." ”

Shen Biyan bit her lip and looked up at him: "You know, what I want is a reason, not a result." ”

Mu Cheng was silent, and his heart began to cramp faintly again.

"You're a member of the royal family, and you know exactly what the harem is. I have been in love with you for more than ten years, and you can't bear to send me to the deep palace? Yunzhi, do you love me? If you don't love me, why do you care for me and make me deeply affectionate? Why did I never know that you were such a cruel person?"

Cruel? Indeed, he was cruel to himself.

Because in the face of the woman he loves, he doesn't even have the courage to confess his emotions now.

"Bi Yan, in your future, I will plan and protect you. He couldn't admit that he still loved her, and all he could promise was one sentence.

"I almost forgot that you already have an unmarried, the county lord of the Xuanyang Mansion in the Eastern Court. Shen Bi Yan smiled sadly, "What will happen to Bi Li in the future, how dare Lao Suide bother? Today is Bi Li's own affection, so say goodbye, from now on Xiao Lang is a passerby, what if I am unwilling, I have no fate with you after all." ”

After Shen Biyan left, he walked to the Zen courtyard behind the main hall alone, it was still early, the green bamboo in the Zen courtyard was in the wind, the bamboo light Juanjuan attacked people, and the sound of bamboo was like a tide, but he had no intention of appreciating it, and his eyes were full of Shen Biyan's grief-stricken expression and Xiao Suo's lonely figure when he left.

Three years ago, I wanted to cut off the love thread ruthlessly, because of her stubborn insistence, she always wanted to break it, and now it is broken, but her heart seems to have collapsed, and it is as barren as ruins.

His heart hurts, and he doesn't know if it's because of emotional hurt or because of a heart attack. His hand pressed against the stone table, almost making a palm print.

There was silence all around, and just when he thought he was about to lose consciousness, he heard a voice drifting in the distance with the wind:

"Walking by the stream, the sky is at the bottom of the clear stream. There are clouds in the sky, and people are in the clouds. Who is singing and Yu? Neither ghosts nor immortals, a song of peach blossom water. ”

Mu Cheng suddenly became in a trance. There are clouds in the sky, and people are in the clouds - open-minded and chic, not polluted with the worldly atmosphere, leisurely and contented among the mountains and wilderness...... Who the hell sings such a meaningful word?.

He took a deep breath, and the ethereal voice seemed to calm his mind a lot. He walked out of the small gate of the monastery and walked to the back mountain, where he never heard the voice again under the shade of the bamboo trees.

But he found something better.

In front of the low wall in the northeast corner of the temple was a large pile of branches, and on the branches stood a thin figure dressed in white and carrying a bamboo basket, he was climbing on the low wall, not knowing what he was peeking at. Mu Cheng walked over and jumped lightly, the pile of branches sank, the man almost didn't fall, but still couldn't disturb his attention, Mu Cheng looked at the main hall in the temple, and couldn't help but be curious:

"What's so nice about a few clothed monks?"

"Shhhh The voice was very soft, but Mu Cheng could vaguely recognize that this was the voice he heard just now.

I was a little disappointed that such a good word came from such a womanizer.

"You sang that song just now?"

"What's the word? if you want to see a beauty, just be quiet!"

"She's gone. ”

"Where's the walk?"

"Went down the hill and left. ”

The person who had been concentrating suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Cheng, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How do you know that she is gone? It is human nature to love beautiful women, brother, don't think about eating alone!"

The face was yellow, like a terminally ill person, there was a light flesh-colored scar at the corner of the eye that extended to the earlobe, and the hair was unkempt and wrapped in a cloth towel - Mu Cheng was stunned, this person's appearance was not too ugly, but it was really raunchy to the extreme.

He sneered, "Brother Tai is not afraid that when he sees the beauty of Tiandu, he will regret and hate his father and mother for giving birth to such a face?"

The man was extremely angry, glaring at Mu Cheng and about to have a seizure, but suddenly his face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice:

"You...... Don't move!"

Mu Cheng turned around impatiently to leave, and the man suddenly shouted: "Beware of snakes—— there's a snake!" Mu Cheng glanced at a glance and saw a bamboo leaf green entrenched on the bamboo tree next to the wall, and his fingers just wanted to pop out a finger wind, but he didn't expect that suddenly a brute force struck, and the man actually pushed him to the ground with all his might, and his own feet were unstable, and he also fell heavily on Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng's chest was hit violently and only felt that it hurt so much, he was so big, he was a human cushion for the first time, and the initiator rubbed his chest innocently and sat up, thinking that he was reacting quickly, he took out a handful of things from the bag around him and lifted them up, and the yellow powder suddenly scattered.

Mu Cheng pushed him away and stood up with a pale face, "What are you sprinkling?!"

"Brimstone, there are snakes, scared me to death, scared me to death, fortunately I was prepared......"

The corners of his mouth twitched for no reason, and the most hated thing in his life was the smell of sulfur! And this person actually sprinkled him all over! The clouds between his eyebrows were thick, and it was the first time that he Mu Cheng had the idea of summoning a group of snakes to kill people.

"Hey, don't you thank me, I saved your life!" Seeing Mu Cheng turn around and leave, the man felt very dissatisfied.

That Zhu Yeqing, he didn't dare to do anything to him at all, if he brought the jasper green snake out today, no snake would dare to approach within a radius of ten miles, obviously he was reckless and almost injured himself by mistake, but he dared to say that he saved his life?

He looked at him coldly and turned to leave, he didn't know that he had angered him, and said to himself: "I can't imagine that the first time in my life I pounced on a man, I was actually scared by a snake, it's not romantic at all......"

Mu Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, kicked a small pebble without looking back, and raised his hand back, and the stone hit the bamboo tree above the man's head, and before he could blink an eye, the man's scream sounded behind him:

"Ahh

"This Mei Ziyan that Mr. said, her tone is innocent and unscrupulous, her temperament is straightforward, and she should cook people to save people, right?" I sniffed the smell of green plum wine, and the corners of my mouth raised slightly.

"That's what Madame said. She saved the young man in distress and punished the three people who did evil, but she didn't actually take their lives. Lu Siqing is a young man, young and vigorous, and if she loses, she just called her 'aunt' according to the agreement, which can be seen," Min Sikong shook his head with a smile, "She's just a kind woman who is a little more playful." ”

"Is Mu Cheng a good person?" I asked.

Min Sikong was silent for a moment, "What does Madam think?"

"I think he should have his own reasons for giving up Shen Biyan, it is for her good, and marrying the county lord of Dongting will not necessarily be unhappy. However, as for Mei Ziyan's first meeting with him, I thought it was very interesting. Is this the story of these two men, sir?"

"No, it's a story of three people. ”

After Min Sikong left, I sat alone in the pavilion and gently reached forward to hold the small wine glass filled with plum wine.

He left me a glass.

I drank the glass slowly, and the sour and sweet taste seemed to coincide with a scene from a memory. That night, I saw the plain-clothed woman smiling at the window looking at the figure of the man in the green shirt in the window, the man angrily threw a bunch of green plums into the urn, looking like he wanted to take revenge, and the plain-clothed woman did not forget to say:

"Hey, remember to put sake lees...... Oh, and I have to seal the mouth of the jar tightly, and it has to taste like the best plum wine I've ever had, otherwise ......"

"Shut up!" the man turned around and yelled, "Let Qing'er sleep with you tonight!"

The plain-clothed woman's face suddenly turned white, and she was obediently silenced.

.................

When I woke up, I had no impression of the face of the man in the green shirt, and I only remembered the joyful and sad feeling I had in my dream.

I don't know if Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, or if butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Zhou.
