The higher you fly, the stronger the aroma becomes, and all kinds of never-before-seen strange flowers bloom on the cliff wall, looming in the clouds and mist. When I arrived at the top of the mountain, my eyes suddenly lit up, and my heart was relaxed.

The top of the mountain is a basin terrain, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, covered with snow, and shiny by the moonlight. In the center is another bay of heavenly lakes, with ice floes and fires. There is an island in the middle of the lake with a radius of several miles, the green trees on the island stretch out, the flowers are like brocade, the pavilion palace is covered, the lights are brilliant, I think it is the "Hundred Flowers Palace" where the Green Emperor lives.

The white cranes circled and rushed down. When I got closer, I found that there were ice lanterns suspended on the surface of the lake, which were like lotus flowers, crystal clear. The island's flower paths are secluded, fragrant, and the dense forests on both sides are hung with lanterns woven with green grass and flowers, shining with brilliant lights, and the bright lights of the palace in the distance are connected to each other, which is extremely spectacular.

The hundred flower envoys carried lanterns and led Xu Xuan through the woods to a palace gate made of white marble, the high and wide palace gate was round, red and black intertwined, like Tai Chi. Without waiting for the knocker to knock on the door, a few men's palace maids had already quietly opened, leading Xu Xuan to continue walking inside.

Xu Xuan was born between the wealthy, and grew up in the most luxurious city in the world, Lin'an City, I don't know how many spectacular palaces and beautiful gardens I have seen since I was a child, but compared with the "Hundred Flowers Palace" in front of me, all of them have become simple and rude, vulgar buildings.

This palace hanging above the sea of clouds, whether it is a pavilion or a cloister hall, all seem to be extremely simple and elegant, carefully examined, but everywhere ingenious; It also takes the word "borrowing scenery" to the extreme, with snow-capped mountains, glaciers, sky lakes, forests, flowers and trees...... Fusion and brilliance, natural and natural. Walking in it is like walking in a continuous painting, and every angle is unbelievably beautiful.

Xu Xuan's breath was choked, and he thought in a trance: "If there is really a fairyland, it will be nothing more than that." It is no wonder that the people who came to Depenglai thousands of years ago are reluctant to leave. ”

The moon hangs high, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and the wind chimes jingle crisply. He followed the palace maid through the winding corridor of the lake, through several pavilions, and came to a pavilion like a lotus flower.

The building is five stories high, except for the top floor is as white as snow, and the light of the lamp is exquisitely reflected through the ice, the remaining four floors are all blue, taking advantage of the snow-capped mountains behind, looking at it in this night, it is like a snow lotus blooming on the top of the ice peak, shining brightly.

The men and palace maids didn't speak, leaving him alone, carrying the lantern and quietly retreating. Xu Xuanzheng didn't know whether to advance or retreat, and a woman's gentle and sweet voice suddenly came from the pavilion: "Is it the new 'Shengyang Tong' standing outside the door?" Come on in. ”

The breeze came slowly, the curtains flew, and through the mica screen inside the door, several lights could be faintly seen burning one after another. Xu Xuan took a deep breath, tucked the "Purple Dragon Sword", and slowly walked into the pavilion.

Bypassing the screen, the hall was draped and danced, and no one was there. This pavilion is located at the southern end of the island, facing water on three sides, with snow-capped mountains and bright moons in the distance, the ice lake is like a mirror, and the starlight and the ice lotus lanterns on the lake reflect each other; Surrounded by blue lotus, hibiscus swaying, and the flower gas and the incense in the copper furnace merge into one. Standing in it, the clothes and belts are flying, and the heart is drunk, I really don't know what day and night are in heaven and earth.

Xu Xuan secretly thought: "If this mountaintop Tianhu is 'Taiji, the circle, here happens to be the 'cathode,' . Could it be that the Holy Maiden of the Snake Clan really hid the half of the 'White Tiger Skin Picture' here? ”

Looking around, there are windows on three sides of the pavilion, one side is a door, and under the floor is the Tianhu Lake, there is really no place to hide. Looking up the spiraling escalator in the center, the lights were bright, and the woman's voice should have come from above. Now continue to climb the ladder.

The second floor is hung with mica lotus lamps, and the fragrance is even stronger. I saw the screen fluttering, and a woman in red with her back to him, sitting on a pineapple wooden couch, half-leaning over, losing her long hair falling like a waterfall, and the black light could be seen. Although I can't see the face, I can infer from the slender white neck and spring-like fingers that it is undoubtedly a beauty.

Fang Cai's gentle and sweet voice really came from the woman in red. She combed her long hair slowly, and said softly, "Your heart is beating so fast, is it because you are in too much hurry all the way?" There's rock tea picked from the cliff, pour your own cup and drink it. ”

There was no one else on the second floor except this woman. It seems that Emperor Qing's injuries are really serious, and he can only rest on the top floor of the dormitory. But who is this woman? Could it be the concubine that Cami said, who has recently arrived in Penglai and is deeply favored by the Green Emperor?

Xu Xuan settled down, sat in the circle chair by the window, poured a cup of tea, and sipped slowly while concentrating on the movement upstairs. The tea is warm, fragrant and mellow, and after drinking it in one gulp, the cheeks are full of sweetness. It is even better than the top rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian. So I poured another cup.

The woman in red sighed and said, "You are holding your breath, so nervous, but aren't you afraid that the Qing Emperor will poison this tea?" ”

Xu Xuan's heart sank, the tea almost spilled out, he raised his head and drank it all, cleared his throat, and said lightly: "The Ninth Five-Year Emperor of the Green Emperor, if you want to take my life, it is as easy as a snap, do you still need such a ninth-rate method?"

Upstairs was silent. The woman in red chuckled softly: "Very good, very good. You are so calm and brave, you really deserve the position of 'Yin Yang Holy Child'. Continue to comb your long hair and don't say anything more.

Xu Xuan drank three cups of tea in a row, but there was still no follow-up, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Turning his head to look around, he was slightly stunned, the screen was nine stacks, and the painting was actually Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map". When my heart moved, I noticed the tables, chairs, beds, incense burners, and curtains around me...... All of them are furniture styles from Tokyo Bianliang.

There is a beautiful painting hanging on the wall in front of the couch. In the painting, the woman is dressed in red like fire, her skin is better than snow, and she is leaning on the railing, holding the hole flute obliquely, frowning and staring at the distant mountains. Although there are only a few strokes, the beautiful style jumps out.

Xu Xuan's breath tightened, and he couldn't help but glance at the woman in red again, and secretly thought, "Could this be her portrait?" It's no wonder that Emperor Qing is so fascinated by her and pampered her. ”

Looking at it again, a short poem was written on the painting: "The eyebrows are competing for the spring mountain show, pitiful and wrinkled." Don't wet the flowers with tears, and the flowers are as thin as people. Qingrun jade flute has been idle for a long time, and bosom friends are rare. If you want to know the day by day, you will be sad, but ask for the willow in front of the pavilion. "The handwriting is beautiful, as if I have seen it somewhere.

Before he could stop thinking about it, he heard the woman in red say softly: "Do you think it's beautiful?" ”

Xu Xuan nodded. The woman in red seemed to feel inadequate, and asked, "Have you ever seen a more beautiful person in this world?" ”

The faces of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought that this pair of snake demon sisters was already unparalleled in the world, but in all respects, compared with the woman in the painting in front of him, it seemed to be slightly inferior. After a little hesitation, he finally shook his head.

At this time, the wind outside the window was blowing, the falling flowers were colorful, and dozens of petals fluttered in, some fell in the incense burner, and some rolled on the couch.

The woman in red paused her comb, picked up a petal between her fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Spring is full of flowers, an inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray." After a moment's pause, a teardrop suddenly dripped down his fingertips and slowly spread in the petals.

Xu Xuan thought to herself: "Could it be that she also has someone in her heart?" Although he arrived in Penglai and became the concubine of the Green Emperor, he still couldn't let go? ”

Thinking of his parents and Bai Suzhen, there was a sharp pain in his heart, and he blurted out: "Last night's stars and last night's wind, the west side of the painting building is east of Guitang." There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart has a spiritual rhino for a day. It was once lonely and dark, and there was no news of garnet red. Liu Lang already hated Pengshan far away, and he was even more separated by Pengshan by 10,000 weights. ”

These eight poems and the two lines she chanted were all written by Li Shangyin, although they came from different poems and were grafted together by him, they also fit seamlessly with the scene in front of them, seamlessly.

The woman in red shuddered, slowly turned her head, stared at him, and said, "Where did you hear these poems?" ”

The light shone on her face, and the tears were shining, cold as frost and snow. Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised, although her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the woman in red in the painting, she didn't seem to be alone. I vaguely felt as if I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Before he could think about it, the drape was inspiring, the wind was fierce, and the cold hairs on his neck were rising. He had been cultivating the "Sympathy of Heaven and Man" for more than a month, and his sense of the surrounding flow was extremely sensitive, and his mental power swept away, and at least seven fierce murderous qi were rushing towards them

Xu Xuan was stunned and shouted: "Girl be careful" hugged the woman in red suddenly, turned over and rolled quickly, grabbed two incense burners and threw them towards the south window, "bang" "bang" just collided with the two sword lights that broke through the window, the figure was misdivided, and the powder exploded.

Someone whispered: "Kill that slut" In an instant, the sword light danced, and three more people jumped in from the west and east, attacking one after another like a storm.

Xu Xuan swept up and down with the woman in red, "snorting" sounded, the clothes burst one after another, blood beads splashed, and several times it was almost close to the blade of the sword to dodge, thrilling.

Screaming outside the window, more than a dozen people were approaching at great speed. Xu Xuandarin was about to pull out the "purple dragon" in his arms to fight back, but thinking that his identity should not be revealed, he had to hold back, hugged the woman in red with his left hand, turned around and rushed upstairs.

"Bang" "Bang" had just rushed to the third floor, and the surrounding floors had been smashed by the assassins one after another, and four sword lights were outflanking them like a mad rush.

Xu Xuan grabbed the long case with his right hand and swept it hard, swept away two sword lights, and shouted: "Emperor Qing, come out" However, he drank a few times, but there was no answer, and he was shocked and angry. I didn't expect that the Qing Emperor would be so selfish and cowardly after being injured, and would rather be a turtle with a shrunken head, and watch his concubine die under the assassin's sword, rather than show up to help

The woman in red didn't seem to be anxious, staring at him in surprise, Fang Cai's sad and cold eyes had turned into gentleness and confusion, her stiff body slowly softened, and she wrapped her hands around his neck and said softly, "You...... You don't know me, so why would you risk your life to save me? ”

With a "ping" sound, the long case has been split by the sword light. Xu Xuan didn't have time to answer, hugged her short body and rushed forward, and continued to sweep towards the fourth floor.
