Chapter 113: The Return
The Wudang chill in the night is even worse, and there is silence in the Five Dragons Temple covered by scattered residual snow, only the everlasting lamp in the main hall that has been blowing all night gently shakes in the mountain wind that blows into the hall from time to time, making the statue of the god enshrined in the middle of the main hall flickering and swaying dimly and unclearly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, many days had passed since the two sergeants had gone up the mountain, and although they had already figured out the truth of the matter from the words of the two men, the merchant sitting in the meditation room still had no intention of leaving.
The merchant with a green hair sat silently in front of the tablet that had accompanied her for more than a year, his dark eyes fixed on the line of shocking words, but the light in his eyes seemed to be deeper and more incomprehensible than the night outside the window.
More than thirty years!
Just when she felt as if she had accepted this wordless fate, why did the woman who had put her in a desperate situation jump out at this time to remind her of the past that she had wanted to stop caring about?
"Wu Meiniang...... What do you want from me? ”
Stretching out a hand, Shang Shang gently stroked the spiritual position carved from the black wood in front of him, his fingertips slowly slid through the depression of the stroke, and an inexplicable emotion mixed with reluctance and heartache burned from his throat to his chest like wine that had been brewed, dull pain.
"If the two sergeants don't find you, if they have the faith, how can they want her? Do you want her to find this quiet place? ”
I don't know when the door of the closed meditation room opened, and in the night outside the door stood an old man with white hair, his eyes were clear and bright, and a cloud-headed hairpin was inserted in the high bun on his head.
"Daochang Li!" The merchant turned his head and gave a noncommittal salute, without the slightest change in the expression on his face.
Looking at the expressionless businessman, Li Chunfeng, who stepped through the door, couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
It was purely accidental that he would meet a merchant when he was traveling in Wudang, although it was not ruled out that the Dao heart was moving at that time, but it was really surprising that he would stay in the Five Dragons Temple for more than three years. As for the numerology for her on a whim, it made him fall into confusion for a long time.
According to the calculation of Shang Shang's real name Su Lanxin, this woman who has not changed in three years in front of him, and whose appearance is as graceful as more than 20 years ago, should have been a wisp of unjust soul in the city in vain!
But this woman is now living well in this world, even if her lover has already wandered to the underworld, but she lives healthier than anyone else!
"According to what you mean, is it possible that if she wants to see me, she will have to meet me? Although she is the current emperor, but to put it mildly, I haven't seen the emperor before, so there's no need to rush forward for her words, right? Not to mention...... If you hadn't stopped it at the beginning, whether she could become this emperor now is still a matter between the two. ”
The words like Bing Lingzi reverberated crisply in the empty meditation room on the four walls, but Shang Shang's face did not ease in the slightest.
If it weren't for the deepening of the rift between Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi, and the planning of all kinds in order to ascend to the throne, and then sent his own henchmen to chase and kill her and Li Mo, who had been traveling the world leisurely, Li Mo would not have fallen ill, and now she has been left alone in this world to support herself!
As soon as he thought of Li Mo's old and haggard appearance before he left, the roots of Shang Shang's teeth couldn't help but constrict, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more cold.
"Good, good! It's all old, isn't it! Li Chunfeng didn't care much about himself, knowing that this was what Shangshang cared about the most, he finally persuaded her hard and soft, and he didn't want to stir up her anger at this time.
"It's just that you have to understand that even without the intervention of that person, with your luck, it is impossible for him to be with you all the time, so why should you keep not letting go?"
After years of practice, Li Chunfeng has long looked down on the word life and death, although these words are cold, but they are not heartfelt words.
Based on his repeated calculations that he forgot to sleep and eat for three months that day, he already had a rough idea of the origin of the businessman, she is now a person who has crossed the line of life and death, and Li Mo wants to accompany her through the long time in the future as a mere mortal, but it is also difficult for a strong man!
Therefore, although Wu Meiniang's measures made the businessmen taste the pain of losing their lovers, this pain is only a matter of time before the businessmen are too entangled, and it is not a good thing for the businessmen to be too entangled in it.
In a thousand years, too many things can happen, and being too persistent will only make her unable to reach the other side in the end, unable to find the deepest obsession in her heart, and such a result is obviously not what he is happy to see.
The merchant's gaze fell coldly on Li Chunfeng's old face, and he stared at it like a searchlight for a long time, and only after a long time did he grit his teeth and let out a breath.
"You don't have to keep saying this to explain, I'm not you, I can't be too forgetful."
Li Chunfeng smiled slightly, seeing the helpless compromise in Shang Shang's cold words, he didn't break it, but just took the cold tea in front of him and drank it all.
"Spring is approaching, and I'm afraid that Chang'an City is already full of flowers, but I don't know if old friends are still watching flowers by the pool?" Li Chunfeng looked at the residual tea in the cup as if he was inadvertent, and muttered to himself.
These words fell into the ears of Shang Shangshang, although she knew that Li Chunfeng deliberately said it to her, but she was still inexplicably moved in her heart.
Changan...... Luoyang ...... Now that I think about it, the businessman has a sense of ethereal separation, and even the bright smiling faces of his brothers, Green Sleeves, and Song's mother in his memory are a little blurry when he thinks about it now.
Maybe...... It's time to go back and check it out......
Although Emperor Zetian moved his capital to Luoyang shortly after ascending the throne, today's Chang'an still maintains the prosperity and liveliness of the coming dynasty.
Not to mention the various shops on both sides of the wide street and the shouting with obvious Chang'an characteristics, just the bustling flow of people on the street is enough to make people who have just arrived in Chang'an jaw-dropping.
Driving his horse onto the noisy and noisy Suzaku Street, the merchant couldn't help but take a deep breath of the air with the rich fragrance of flowers, thinking of the relatives who would soon be able to see him, even if he had been in the mountains for a long time and had a faint smile like a spring flower blooming.
I don't know how my brother and Greensleeves are doing now?
There was a hint of hesitation and expectation in the smile on the face of the businessman. In the two years since Li Mo left, she has been deeply grieved by the loss of her beloved, and she has almost completely cut off contact with her family.
Now facing the home that is close at hand, she can't help but feel a faint cowardice in her heart.
The old place of the West Market, the door of the kitchen road still hangs the golden plaque that has not changed for many years, the imperial pen left by Li Zhi continues to protect this old shop that has gone through decades of wind and rain in Chang'an City, even when the Emperor Zetian wantonly eliminated dissidents in Chang'an City in order to ascend the throne, this restaurant with the inscription of Emperor Gaozong himself is still open and open in the wind and rain, without the slightest impact, and the curtain with blue flowers on a white background is still open and closed every day to welcome the dignitaries and nobles sent everywhere.
Standing in front of the curtain of the door that made him feel very familiar and cordial, listening to the young man who was half-bowed at the door coming forward to greet him, even if the coldness of these years had already been immersed in his bones, the merchant still felt a warmth from his heart.
Throwing the reins into the hands of the man, and by the way, he explained two sentences to take care of the horses, and the merchant took off the bamboo hat he wore along the way to protect himself from the wind and sand, and stepped into the door through the curtain raised by the man.
In the small cubicle rooms in the hall, all kinds of tables and chairs are still the same as they were back then, although they have inevitably been replaced with new ones in the past few decades, but they are still used in the style of the year, without the slightest change.
At the corner of the hall, a few half-person-high bottles of emerald green willows are full of spring, and from time to time they dance gently with the wind blowing in from the door opening, so that the people who step in feel a pleasing spring.
"Little Liuzi!"
lowered his voice and waved away the guy who stepped forward to lead the way, and the merchant was already a little dazed after pacing the counter, and he was looking at the shopkeeper of the account book in front of him, and called softly.
"Little ...... Sister? ”
With an incredible light call, Shang Shang saw the expression on the face of Xiao Liuzi, who had already turned a little white in front of him, from suspicion to surprise, and finally let out an ecstatic shout:
"Miss is back! Fast! Go inside to report the eldest master, the second master, and the second lady! Miss is back! ”
Without waiting for the merchant to react, Xiao Liuzi behind the long counter rushed out of the hall at a swift speed that made the jaws of the people in the hall drop, and grabbed the hand of the merchant standing in front of the counter, and pulled it tightly as if he was afraid that someone would run away, and looked at her with excitement on his lips.
"Shopkeeper! It's ......"
The young man who was used to serving Xiao Liuzi on the side stepped forward curiously, and only halfway through his words he "snapped" a slap.
"Tell you to go inside and report to the master, what are you rubbing?"
Xiao Liuzi, who was nearly half a hundred years old, waved his hand impatiently, watching the young man stumble towards the inner courtyard, and then turned his face to look at Shang Shang, but there were some tears in his eyes.
When the merchant followed Xiao Liuzi into the hanging flower door of the inner courtyard, before he could see the familiar scenery in his memory, there was a boiling human voice from the depths of the inner courtyard, and a scream of surprise came through the layers of brick walls, but it was still so familiar.
"Merchant! Merchants! ”
A louder call came closer and closer, and the trembling anticipation and faint cry in the voice were like a key, and in an instant, the vivid and agile girl locked in Shang Shang's memory was released, and ran straight towards her.
The moment the four eyes met, they were speechless and choked.
A head of gray green silk, the hairpin that she gave her hand many years ago was obliquely inserted in the high bun, even if the woman in front of her was already old and early, but between the fine lines of the eyebrows, the merchant clearly saw the woman who was as pure and kind as a daffodil.
