Chapter II. Resurrection

At the time of Yao Shun, witchcraft arose, and there was a country called Wuxian. It is rumored that everyone in the country is good at witches in order to live forever. Later generations also said that there is a fairy mountain in Dongze, which is the descendant of Wuxian, and the flesh and bones of the dead are raised, which is to restore the soul, and then the witch was slaughtered, and its traces cannot be examined.

The former dynasty was divided between the north and the south, and the year of Gaozu Xingyizhou, there were travelogues that said many times that the purple gas of this place was seen, which was an auspicious omen. Later, a warlock probed to know that the original immortals were here, and found one or two traces of immortals, which are rumored to be the descendants of Wuxian gathered here. In his later years, Gaozu longed for the art of immortality, and went out to Yizhou many times, although he could not find it, but the witchcraft was worshiped in the local area.

I have never believed in witch Gu, and I know that this is a taboo in the palace, but when Lianwu told me that this method could allow me to reunite with Yuwen Qiye, I still showed my heart.

I arrived in Yizhou City for four days, and there was no news from outside the Jianmen Pass, and I was sad but also a little lucky, and I was even afraid to see the figure of any Jin Wuwei who hurried into the Southern Yunnan Governor's Mansion.

"Don't worry, princess. After a while, when you fall asleep, you can see the person you have been thinking about for a long time. I have a soul-gathering lamp burning at your feet, and if he is alive, it will not be extinguished when you wake up. ”

Lianwu made me lie in a hammock made of silk, and as soon as I lay down, my body began to sway. She lit an octagonal lamp again, and the sweet rosin fragrance filled the dark room.

I quietly watched her busy beside me, and suddenly jokingly asked, "Will you dance that dance in front of my father for a while?" "Thinking of those strange movements," it was really distorted. ”

Lianwu rolled her eyes: "It was passed down to me by my father, you know what." After a pause, he suddenly stuck his tongue out at me, "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that you can make money by jumping that and look like you're professional, I don't like it." ”

I burst out laughing and asked, "How many years have you been doing this?" Have you been staying in the house of the envoy of the festival? ”

Lianwu thought for a moment and replied, "I have been practicing witchcraft since I was born. My father said that I was a rare spiritual hostage, and not long after the word was spread, I was taken to the Governor's Mansion by Lord Xiao. The adults said that he had slaughtered too much in his life, and he would not be able to ascend to Bliss after death, so keeping me by his side could be regarded as helping him accumulate yin virtue. ”

The rosin fragrance was pervasive, and the words spoken by the lotus witch in my ear became quiet in the dark night, and I looked at the moonlight reflected in the window screen, which was as cold as water.

I yawned lazily, and suddenly felt a little sleepy: "Then if you help me do these ridiculous things, I won't be afraid that he will punish you......"

"Lianwu is not afraid, the princess must remember that she can't shed tears in her dreams, otherwise she will break off her relationship with him no matter whether she lives or dies......"

The sound of the lotus witch became more and more distant, and my eyelids gradually became heavy, and before I closed my eyes, I answered casually, and fell into a black mist.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest and the winter hide ......"

I heard the sound of a drop of water falling to the ground, and the darkness in front of me suddenly rippled layer by layer, as if it was caressed by a pair of invisible hands, a gust of breeze blew on my face, and countless fallen leaves flew in the wind and fell beside me.

"Autumn harvest and winter Tibetan ......" I repeated this sentence, and it seemed that there was always a voice echoing in my ears, accompanied by a low and graceful flute sound, and I was reluctant to leave for a long time.

"Bang-" There was a heavy bell ringing not far away, and I looked up in fright, and the Xuanji Pagoda refracted a strange light in the sun.

I was dazzled by the sunlight and squinted unconsciously. When I was confused, a large dark figure was obscured in front of my eyes. In the backlight, I couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but I felt a dense pain in my heart hit me like a tidal wave, making me unable to move for a moment.

I was about to say something, when I suddenly noticed a parchment in my throat.

He looked at me blankly, as if he were looking at a stranger, and when he saw me looking at him fixedly, he frowned impatiently and turned to leave.

I subconsciously grabbed Qi Ye's sleeve with one hand, he was stunned by my actions, glanced at me sideways, and said lightly: "Let go of me." ”

I heard the air in my throat tumbling up and down, and after a while, I shouted: "Little Jiu......"

Qi Ye heard what I called him, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and the dark pupils staring at me became deep.

I was also startled by what I called him, and opened my mouth, not knowing what to do next.

Qi Ye brushed away my hand that was holding his sleeve, and said coldly: "Girl, please respect yourself, what kind of body is it to pull this strange man's clothes in broad daylight?" ”

His words inexplicably coincided with the fragmented memories of my childhood, and I heard the bells in the Xuanji Pagoda ring faster and faster, and the sound penetrated into my ears, as if the footsteps of fate were getting closer and closer to me.

"Are you leaving?" Seeing that Qi Ye was about to get up and leave again, the words on my lips stopped his footsteps before my hand, "Xiao Jiu, why did you go to Xiliang?" ”

Qi Ye stared at her inexplicably for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Because I promised a woman that I would come back with the meritorious royal city to marry her." ”

She ...... Who is she? ”

A portrait was handed to me, and the woman in the portrait had eyebrows and eyes similar to mine, and her name was "Ah Yan".

"I'm going to marry the man in this portrait." "I don't know what her name is," he said. I met in a hurry at Danlu Court that day, and she didn't tell me her name. This is the portrait I later found in the Xuanji Tower, and the person on it is her. ”

I grabbed Qi Ye's cold palm with one hand and met his slightly surprised gaze: "Did you dislike her for not being as reserved as an ordinary girl that day, did she wipe her tears on your sleeve?" ”

Qi Ye listened to my words slowly, the expression on his face became more and more dark, he looked me up and down a little strangely, and asked, "How can the girl know these things?" ”

"I ......" There are too many words in my heart full of doubts, and fate seems to gently split a crack in my head, allowing the rolling memories to swallow me step by step.

The bell of the Xuanji Pagoda came to an abrupt end, and the strong heavenly light illuminated the whole world extremely dazzling. Qi Ye was still standing in the distance, the withered yellow leaves falling all over his shoulders.

I looked at him, I don't know when the mist came out in front of me, and I was in a trance as if I had seen the colorful autumn of that year, and a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes looked at me with a frown and an inquiry, but there was a smile hidden in his eyes.

My clenched fists began to tremble, and I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down and asked, "Can you not go?" ”

He was puzzled: "Why? ”

"Because I ......"

Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly heard someone calling my name. A tremendous force kept pulling my consciousness back, and there was a loud roar in my ears, and my voice turned into a whistling wind. I reluctantly reached out to grab him, but all I could catch was an endless void.

"Princess ......"

The moonlight outside the window was hazy. Someone whispered in my ear, and I struggled to open my eyes, and saw Lianwu staring at me with a complicated expression.

I felt a "thump" in my heart, and immediately turned over and sat up, the light at my feet still dancing faintly with flames. A moment of great joy filled my heart, and I turned my head to look at Lotus Witch with a smile on my face, only to find that her expression became more and more solemn.

I was so nervous that my fingers inadvertently ran across my cheeks and touched a trail of cold water. Lotus Wu handed over the bronze mirror, and I realized that I had already burst into tears.
