Chapter 266: The Heavenly Wolf Changes, Cholera Arrives
Guanshan Town.
I don't know when the snow has stopped, and the entire Guanshan Town is wrapped in a layer of silver-white robes, leaving only some footprints on the snow, deep or shallow, and the size of the footprints cannot be distinguished.
The lanterns on the side of the road were all tattered under the pressure of the snow, and even the wicks were covered in snow, and there was no extra light in the entire Guanshan Town except for a few lights from the pavilion.
The clouds in the night sky dispersed, and the starlight fell from the sky, dotting the night sky like night pearls hanging high in the sky. The street was full of people and animals, and the singing of threes and twos floated out from the window lattice of the restaurant, and the singing was long and deep, permeating the snowy night, adding a little melancholy to the monks at the railing.
The artistic conception that should have been cheerful seems lonely and lonely at this time.
Snowy nights also make the courtesans feel homesick, in this border town far from the imperial capital, after the rain and snow, the only thing that can be removed from nostalgia is spirits.
When heaven and earth return to silence, it may also be a time for the soul to find a home.
"Liyu Fanglin is on the high pavilion, and the new outfit is glamorous; Yinghu Ning Jiao didn't go in at first, and greeted him with a smile when he came out. The face of the enchantress is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree shines in the empty court; The flowers bloom and fall for a long time, and they fall red all over the ground and return to the lonely ......" a song of the dead country sang the sorrow of several lifetimes.
The singing kept drifting out of the closed restaurant, wandering in the snowy night without people, the soldiers guarding the border city stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky, and the two horizontal tears flowed down involuntarily, did they also think of their wives, children, and mothers in the distance.
"The country is not dead, why do the merchant girls sing the words of the country?"
A soft voice came from the dark street, and its owner was slightly puzzled.
"The saint doesn't know, today's empire is not the empire of the year, the empire has gone through nine generations of emperors, it has reached dusk, the heroic posture of the Li family Taizu when he first founded the empire has disappeared in the hands of his descendants, when the emperor Li Mian existed in name only, Han Quan was in power, the power of the rivers and lakes has overridden the temple, and the people are miserable, maybe this merchant girl has decided that the country will have no country!"
"Han Quan?" The soft voice in the darkness was slightly surprised.
"Does the Holy Maiden recognize him?" said the old man again.
"For some reason, when I heard this person's name, an indescribable emotion swelled up in my heart, as if I had heard this person many years ago, and I couldn't remember many things!"
The voice of the old man in the darkness was no longer heard, and the world was silent again.
The old man who patrolled the watch late at night trembled, and the hand holding the lantern trembled constantly. He stood alone in the dark street, unable to see a single figure, but the two voices were close to his ears.
Not far from him, two red lanterns floated in the air, like invisible ghosts leading the way.
The old man had never encountered such a strange scene, so he was so frightened that he threw away the lantern in his hand and fled back to his house.
The two big red lanterns floated to where the old man had been standing, and then no longer floated forward, and were suspended in the air in a daze. Immediately after, two figures appeared around the lantern in the darkness, an old man and a masked girl.
The old man's hair is white, and his long beard is fluttering, if he has a fairy wind and bones. The girl next to her was wearing a red Luo skirt, with an embroidered gauze scarf, a dark blue jade on her forehead, her hair covering half of her cheeks, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and the red leno skirt wrapped around her slender waist like a willow branch, and under the gentle breeze, the hem of her clothes hung gently, revealing skin whiter than snow.
She stood in the snow with her whole person, like a fairy from the Three Realms, with a temperament.
"Holy Maiden, everything will be fine, the old man will surely slash that apostate!" the old man's tone suddenly became cold, and the snow around him turned to snow after he said these words.
The old man's cultivation has reached an incomparably terrifying point, hitting things in the air and turning snow into water.
The girl didn't care, but gently bent down to pick up the lantern that had fallen to the ground.
"Although the lanterns are good, they will eventually burn out! People live for a hundred years, it is difficult to become a great road, and they will eventually return to the loess!"
The girl said this lightly, and then stretched out her hand, and the lantern she picked up flew away from her hand in an instant, and the moment it flew in the air, it turned into an ice sculpture, and the moment it landed, it turned into pieces without making any sound.
When the old man next to him saw this scene, his face showed a look of relief.
"I didn't expect that the Holy Maiden's Nine Turns of Evil Yin Body had already cultivated to the point of touching things into ice!"
The old man was thinking for a moment, and the girl's voice broke his contemplation.
"Grandpa Heng, do you think we can find 'Zhouhe' when we come to Mobei this time?"
"There is indeed a record in the ancient books of this sect that 'Zhouhe' is real, but the old decay does not know whether it is true or false, maybe the clansmen who find and protect that land will know the truth when they ask!"
"That's all there is to it!" the girl looked up at the starry sky and muttered to herself, "Sirius will change, maybe this is an opportunity!"
The old man stroked his long beard and looked up at the endless sky, only to see that the brightest star in the night sky gradually turned bloody.
"The wolf has changed, the river has appeared, and the sun and moon tide have caused chaos" The old man's voice seemed extremely ethereal, "The sea has changed into a mulberry field, the hero has become a strange road, it is difficult to preach the Tao, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky......"
"It didn't take long for this place to cease to exist!"
The old man glanced at the brightly lit restaurants around him and said with a sigh.
Then an old man and a young man walked towards the gate of the Apocalypse Pass, and in the blink of an eye, they went out of the gate and walked into the vast desert.
"Beijing once remembered the prosperity of the past. Ten thousand miles of the emperor's house. Qionglin Jade Palace, the noisy string orchestra, the twilight column sheng pipa. Huacheng people go to Xiaosuo today, and the spring dream is Husha. Where is the home mountain, endure listening to the Qiang flute, blowing through the plum blossom ......"
In the night of Guanshan Town, there were singers and sad lyrics and songs floating in the night......
On the tower of the gate of the Apocalypse, the guards of the city happened to see the two lanterns floating in the night sky, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and pushed his companion who was drowsy and fell by the fire next to him.
"Wake up, I think I've got a ghost!" said with a hint of trepidation.
"What's the matter!" The companion was asleep, and seemed to be having a sweet dream, when he was suddenly woken up by his companion, looking a little unhappy.
"Yes...... There are ghosts, look at those two lanterns!"
The companion followed his finger and saw that there was no light in the desert, and there was no lantern anywhere.
"You are insane, where is the lantern! Don't bother me to sleep!" said the man and fell beside the kang again.
The guard turned his head to look back again, and the two lanterns were gone.
"It's strange, just now I watched them go out of the city from inside the city, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye!"
