A snow-white horse was grazing leisurely on the grass, its body was snow-white, without a trace of stray hair, and its tail flicked upwards from time to time. The white horse is very strong, with bulging muscles and four legs that are very toned.
Lan Xin raised his hand and stroked its head, and said with a smile, "Is it good to be good today?" looked at the person in front of him with that silly smile on his face, seemed to be helpless, shook his head, and rubbed his palm affectionately.
The numbness from his hands made Lan Xin giggle. Treading the snow and looking at the sky speechlessly, he rolled his eyes indecently, how could there be such a stupid master? Shaking the big head that was ravaged by Lan Xin, he lowered his head and continued to graze.
"Hey, this guy is all in the middle. Qinghe stood aside and said idly with his arms folded, "But although this guy has a bad temper, he can be regarded as aware of current affairs, and he has not wasted the girl to serve with good food and drink these days." β
"It's called bonding, right, Treading Snow?" Lan Xin asked with a smile as she stroked the mane on Treading Snow's neck. Its mane is long and soft, making it very pleasant to stroke. "It's no wonder that the impostor's business is booming, and the horses they bring back are a source of flocking to them. It is said that the impostor's horse has not yet come ashore before it has been fully booked. β
"It's true. The slave maid heard Dongxiu say that her father had made a lot of effort to grab this white horse. Qinghe echoed, she held her chin, looked left and right around the snow, and said in a loud voice, "It's just that this horse looks good, I don't know if it looks as majestic and handsome as it looks." β
"Don't you know if you try it?" Lan Xin said with a smile, "The weather is fine today, the sky is cloudless, the breeze is light, and it is suitable for horseback riding." Call Xue Shan, let Steward Meng prepare, and we will ride a horse. Lan Xin's little hand waved, and it was happily decided.
"Yes, yes, the slave and maid will go. Qinghe clapped his hands in approval, his eyes lit up excitedly, and he ran away happily.
Lan Xin also went back to the house with great interest and changed his clothes. Jane's mother brought her a narrow-sleeved water-red satin dress, a silver gown, a long ribbon with a bow around her waist, and an ink-colored jade plaque. The hair is simply tied in a bun and held in place with a water-red ribbon. The whole person is sassy and heroic, pretty and extraordinary. Lan Xin took her skirt and turned around in front of the mirror, and praised with a smile: "Mother Zhen's hair is well combed, and her clothes are also good." β
"Huh. Mother Jane said with a smile, "It's the girl who looks good and has a good temperament." β
Lan Xin took the whip handed over by his subordinates, pulled the reins, and turned over to straddle the horse. "Ride!" the whip waved slightly, stepped on the snow and neighed, and the four hooves flew over, crisscrossing the sky and the earth like a lightning speed. The skirt of the person sitting on the horse fluttered in the wind, the ribbon hunted and fluttered, and suddenly the Nine Heavens Fairy fell into the mortal dust.
"Wow, the girl is so beautiful!" Qinghe sighed with round eyes, and then with a clamp between her legs, the jujube red horse under her struggled to chase forward. Xue Shan followed closely and also followed.
Lan Xin's snow treading ran extremely fast, and soon left Qinghe and Xue Shan behind, and gradually disappeared. Qinghe and Xue Shan were worried about what danger Lan Xin would encounter, so they swung their horsewhips vigorously and slapped them on the horse's buttocks, but there was a huge difference between their horses and stepping on the snow, so they couldn't catch up.
Lan Xin didn't look back, naturally she didn't know that she had opened such a big distance between her and Qinghe. The wind in my ears is whistling, and the neck hair on the snow is fluttering with the wind, which is very beautiful. Lan Xin crouched on the horse's back, looking at the regressing scenery, and a cheerful smile rose at the corner of his mouth. "Drive!" he waved his whip happily.
Walk through a forest and across a small river. There was another forest in front of him, Lan Xin felt that he had run far away, and when he looked back, he didn't see the shadow of Qinghe, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart. Distracted, he stepped on the snow and ran into the woods. The woods are very dense and the trees inside are very thick and very tall. The strange thing is that the woods are so quiet that you can't even hear the wind in your ears. The deeper you go into the woods, the thicker the mist becomes, and it exudes a fishy-sweet aroma.
The alarm bell in Lan Xin's heart sounded, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and reached out to hold the reins of the horse, ready to retreat. But the snow was so fast that by the time she could react, it had already taken her deep into the woods. She anxiously took the reins of her horse, but she stepped on the snow and stepped on the air, and one person and one horse suddenly sank. "Ahh
When Lan Xin woke up, he found himself lying on the grass by the river, the clear water of the river gurgling and making a "bang" sound. Treading the snow and flicking its tail leisurely graze. Eat a few mouthfuls of grass, raise your eyes and glance at Lan Xin's side, as if concerned and disgusted. Seeing that there was no movement on Lan Xin's side, he lowered his head and continued to graze.
Lan Xin pursed her lips and complained in her heart: If you hadn't run too fast, would you have landed in such a world as you are now? She sat up and found that she was not injured, and she was relieved. She dusted off the grass clippings and looked up at her surroundings. Treading the snow saw Lan Xin wake up and walked over slowly.
Lan Xin found himself on the same hillside as he and the snow, surrounded by trees and lush greenery, with all kinds of wildflowers blooming on the meadows, and bees buzzing around, busy collecting honey.
Looking down the mountain, there are several families not far away. It's like a small village with more than a dozen families, but it feels like a big town under the smog. "Let's go down and have a look. Regardless of whether Taxue could understand or not, Lan Xin led Taxue and walked down the mountain. Always know what kind of place this is and how to get out.
Along the mountain path, a man and a horse slowly walked down the mountain. The houses of several houses at the foot of the mountain are all white walls and green tiles, and there are no courtyard walls, but they are fenced around the courtyard. Through the fence, you can see several kinds of vegetables growing in the yard. The vegetable patch is very well kept, there is not a single weed, and the vegetables in the field are lush and grow very well, which makes people look very comfortable.
The piglets in the pigsty twisted their round buttocks, flicked their tails, and walked around leisurely. A chicken pen surrounded by several fences, with clucking hens, big red roosters with their heads held high, and a few chicks foraging behind the hens. The village was full of life, but after walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, not even half a figure was seen.
Lan Xin frowned as he looked at the fiery red sun hanging in the sky, and frowned helplessly. Raising his hand to caress Treadsnow's long, soft mane, Treadsnow's big head rubbed affectionately on her body, and one man and one horse comforted each other, walking slowly along the clean and tidy street.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, I saw two elderly people playing chess next to the millstone not far away. "Huh" Lan Xin exhaled lightly, and finally saw the living.
Lan Xin walked slowly towards the old man with the snow treading at the same time, carefully looking at the two of them. The person sitting on the left is dressed in a gray wide-sleeved robe, with gray hair casually draped over his shoulders and a gray emerald wipe tied on his forehead. The eyebrows and beard are also gray-white, and the thin face is engraved with the vicissitudes of time, but the eyes are bright. The momentum exuded from the whole body rejects people for thousands of miles.
The old man on the right is dressed in white, with a purple and gold hairpin neatly coiling his white hair on top of his head, a kind smile on his round face, a pair of eyes staring at the chessboard with a smile, and his right hand holding the few loose beards. It has a very intimate feeling.
Lan Xin was secretly vigilant, she knew that people should not be disguised. Although the two people in front of them are already in their old age, their momentum should not be underestimated. If it's really dangerous, there's really no chance of escape. But since you're here, you can't retreat without a fight, right?
No matter how Lan Xin fought in his heart, he still walked to the side and quietly watched the two of them go back and forth on the chessboard. Lan Xin didn't know much about Go, and of course he couldn't tell who was winning and who was losing on the board, and he didn't know when the game would end. It's not good to bother rashly, so you can only wait patiently.
"Huh. The old man dressed in white on the right held a white piece in his hand, put it on the chessboard, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we had waited for nearly three hundred years to find a little girl from the Yu family." It's really good that the little girl has been so calm all the way!"
"Huh?" Lan Xin's cherry mouth opened into a circle, and he looked at the old man in white in surprise, "Senior, how did you γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» you γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» how did you know that I was from the Yu family?"
The old man in gray on the left glared at the old man in white dissatisfied, looked at the chessboard and snorted: "Every time you are about to lose, you will come to this set." The old man in white smiled, unimpressed by the dissatisfaction of the old man in gray.
The old man in gray glanced at Lan Xin, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and his eyes finally fell on the jade plate on Lan Xin's waist. "Seniors recognize this jade plaque?" Lan Xin asked in surprise. The gray-clothed old man clasped his sleeves in his hands and said in a calm tone: "Everyone in the Yu family has such a jade plate since they were born, and they use his blood to engrave his name and birthdate. β
Lan Xin was extremely surprised in his heart, but his face was calm, and he stood there with his hands down, waiting for the next step. The old man in white stroked his loose beard and said with a smile: "The little girl is smart and clever, and she is also calm, and she is worthy of being the descendant of the Yu family." β
While speaking, the two of them got up and knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Mo Thirteen, the head of the Mo family, and Yun Qing, the head of the Yun family, pay a visit to the little master. β
"Huh?" Lan Xin was completely stunned this time, looking at the two elderly people kneeling in front of him, he didn't come back to his senses in surprise for a long time, "Then γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» that, what do you mean by thisγ»γ»γ»γ»γ» get upγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» get up and talk quickly." In an instant, I was so anxious that my forehead was sweating.
The two old men also looked at Lan Xin in surprise, the old man in white, who called himself Yun Qing, opened his mouth and asked, "Since the young master is a member of the Yu family, haven't the elders of the family told you about the relationship between the Yu family, the Mo family and the Yun family?"
"Nope. Lan Xin shook his head and said, "On the day of my 100-day banquet, the Yu family was wiped out, and my father and mother died on the spot. I only returned to the Yu family later, and the servants at home only gave me this jade plate representing the identity of the Yu family, and nothing else was said. I also asked the two seniors to give advice. β
"I see. Mo 13 sighed, "Little master, please take a seat." He stretched out his hand and let Lan Xin onto the futon next to him.
"The two seniors also sat down and said. Lan Xin stretched out his hand to beckon.
Yun Qing took out the teapot and three teacups from the tray under the chessboard, poured three cups of tea, and said, "The relationship between the Mo family, the Yun family, and the Yu family starts with the Great Zhou Dynasty. β
"The Great Zhou Dynasty?, what Senior Yun said is the dynasty overthrown by the ancestors of the Great Sect Dynasty?" Lan Xin asked suspiciously, holding the teacup.
"Exactly. Yun Qing nodded and said, "The Mo family is good at Qimen Dunjia and the art of organs, and they were very used in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to build a mausoleum, and asked the Mo family to repair it himself. The Mo family could not disobey the Shengming, so they had to dispatch all their descendants to build a mausoleum. After the mausoleum was built, the emperor was very happy.
However, there are villains who slander that if you want the Great Zhou Dynasty to be prosperous forever, you must use the blood of the Xiuling people to pay tribute. Therefore, the emperor gave an order to kill all those who participated in the construction of the mausoleum. The Mo family suddenly flowed into a river of blood. Fortunately, Lord Yu's subordinates showed mercy, and after getting the news, he sent someone from the Yun family to escort one of the Mo family's descendants out of the city. This lineage of the Mo family was preserved.
And the Yun family has a set of ancestral exercises, which are good at tracking and concealing. It was another sharp sword in the hands of the emperor at that time. However, at that time, the ministers were in charge, and the emperor listened to and believed in them, and once suspected that the Yun family had the intention of rebellion. So he secretly raised the butcher knife to the Yun family. The Yun family and the Mo family were originally in-laws, and they were entrusted by Lord Yu to escort the Mo family, so they lived in seclusion with the Mo family in the current Moyun Valley. β
"Oh, it turns out that you are the Qimen Dunjia Mo family that has been rumored to be miraculous and the Yun family who have come and gone without a trace?!" Lan Xin glared and exclaimed, and then asked suspiciously: "What did Senior Yun mean when he said just now that he had waited here for more than three hundred years?"
"The Mo family and the Yun family escaped, so they are naturally grateful to the Yu family. But after that bloody storm, the ancestors of the Mo family and the Yun family were already tired of the world, so they decided to live in seclusion in the Moyun Valley. But the great kindness of the Yu family can't help but repay. So, a mechanism was set up, and the way to break the level was the blood of the Yu family and the jade plate. Mo Thirteen opened his mouth and said, "As long as someone from the Yu family breaks through the barrier and comes to Moyun Valley, he will be the master of the Mo family and the Yun family." The Mo family and the Yun family will help with the strength of the whole clan. Therefore, in addition to being in charge of the affairs of the clan, the head of each generation is waiting for the arrival of the Yu family. β
"If no one in the Yu family breaks this mechanism, are you going to wait like this forever?" Lan Xin asked softly.
"That's nature, and we have to follow the teachings of our ancestors. Mo Shisan said in a calm tone, "But even if no one from the Yu family breaks through, we will use our own way to silently repay the Yu family for saving their lives back then." β
