A plum tree in the courtyard, a few pieces of snow on the plum branches. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info carriage stopped, Kun Wu raised the curtain but did not mean to get off.

Chen Xiu hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted, "Big brother, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Kungo didn't speak, and the boy removed the four boxes from the car. Chen Xiu was strange, and opened them one by one, and the four boxes were dead branches, butterflies, dead fish, and a wild goose.

"What is this?" Qi Heng didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle they were playing, and looked up at Kunwu, who was expressionless, and then looked at Chen Xiu, who lowered his head thoughtfully.

Chen Xiu remembered. Chen Ming once urged him to study and practice martial arts to be a useful person, but Chen Xiu didn't understand why he wanted to be a useful person, saying that he was too uncomfortable to be a man. Chen Ming asked him what he was comfortable with, and he replied that 'the trees in the mountains, the butterflies in the flowers, the fish in the water, and the wild geese in the sky', these do not need to study and practice martial arts to be free every day, people always say that they are the spirits of all things, but they are not necessarily happier than these plants, trees, fish and insects.

At that time, Chen Ming couldn't answer, but now Kun Wu answered. Kungo came with 'the trees in the mountains, the butterflies in the flowers, the fish in the water, and the wild geese in the sky'.

"Do you remember the past? Eldest brother! You're still my big brother! Chen Xiu was surprised, he didn't think about the meaning of this, but he just understood that the person in front of him was indeed Chen Ming.

Where was it before? It was all under this loess before, so why bother turning it out again. Kun Wu said, "Last time you asked me what the Heavenly Dao was. But a few months, of course I remember. The voice was still cold, it was still that Kungo.

"Heavenly Dao? Is the way of heaven just to kill living things? Chen Xiu's heart was cold, he looked at these four things again, and sneered.

Kun Wu shook his head, "Heaven is born, Heaven is raised, Heaven is long, and Heaven is dead." Do you understand? ”

Chen Xiu didn't understand, and he didn't understand why Kun Wu was telling him this.

"So the Heavenly Dao is cruel?" Qiheng said ignorantly.

"It's not cruelty, it's a necessity in the world. Everything in the world is born, old, sick and dead, and none of them are free. Kun Wu said, coughing heavily as he spoke, and the boy put down the curtain.

Kungo said, "You'll understand. ”

The carriage turned around, and out of the courtyard gradually drifted away, slowly blending into the vast white snow.

Understand what? Chen Xiu didn't know. It's scary or ridiculous to imagine that everything is in fear, running away and hiding. It is even more unnecessary, after all, there are so many trees in the mountains and so many fish in the water, and there is only one that falls into the hands of Kungo. But who knows how many trees in the mountains have been eaten by elk before they reach adulthood, and how many butterflies in the flowers have broken their wings. If the fish are free, why do they appear on the plate, and if the geese are free, why do they migrate north and south in spring and autumn? Danger and suffering exist in any corner of heaven and earth, and no one is immune, and life and freedom are also given by heaven and earth to all living beings in the world.

Qi Heng seemed to understand, and seemed to be even more confused, chasing outside the courtyard gate, the carriage was already far away, and in front of him was the bustling crowd of people receiving food. Qi Heng muttered, "Nothing in the world is free. ”

Geng Xiaoduo quietly watched the carriage go away.

Lonely, Geng Xiao said with a lot of heart, and couldn't help but look at Taishang Lake. She couldn't see anything except the unseen Taishang Lake, but she knew that there was a person there, a person she had followed him for a long time but never saw his heart. But he was lucky that there was someone else to bear with him. Zhu Mandao rarely hid anything from Geng Xiaoduo again, but Geng Xiaoduo never knew what was there, and Zhu Mandao never wanted to mention it. Maybe it's hell, Geng Xiaoduo thought to himself.

Geng Xiaoduo looked at Qi Heng and suddenly smiled, "What are you lamenting?" There are more people in the world who are more miserable than you, so you will pretend to be the most pitiful person in the world? ”

Qi Heng looked up at Geng Xiaoduo, and suddenly realized that he was not the only one in the world who suffered so much.

The direction that Geng Xiaoduo looked at from a distance was Shenlong Island, a place filled with water mist all year round. Because of the fog, no one can ever watch a thing.

The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow is sprinkled on the surface of the lake. A light boat stopped in the silence of the mist, and a woman on the light boat could be faintly seen, with a low table and a piano in front of the woman. The melodious sound of the piano pierces the unsurpassable mist, through the winding and strange pine forest, through the hundreds of feet of Shinto, through the stones of the altar, and down to the depths of Shenlong Island.

In the depths was a blue-blue stone, with a crack revealing from the stone, and the crack was fiery red, as if there was flames and magma under the stone. I looked down, but I couldn't see anything. The air on the crack was baked and dry, and the air seemed to shake, as if it were an illusion. Occasionally something falls into the crack, and there is silence, only to fall into eternity.

Zhu Mandao sat cross-legged on the edge of the stone. When the sound of the piano came, he suddenly smiled on his face, which seemed to be asleep, stretched out his hand, and tapped lightly on the turquoise boulder a few times. The place where I knocked it seemed to have sunk. On the outskirts of Shenlong Island, with a light mist and a calm lake, there was a splash of water out of thin air in front of the light boat. Lu Yu also smiled.

Jiqu

The night was dark. Qiheng fell asleep.

The wind came, the clouds broke, and at the beginning of the month, the heavens and the earth suddenly became clear. Empty and silent, with a faint mountain in the distance, a stream of water winding in.

There is a moon in the water, and fish swim in the middle of the month. Swimming fish playing in the water, eating the moonlight, enjoying the shadow of the mountains, heaven and earth and I are like nothing, full of arbitrariness, so happy! Suddenly, a few horses neighed, and the horses galloped and waded through the water. The horses' hooves were chaotic, and suddenly the moon shadow shattered, the water droplets splashed, and the swimming fish frightened away and crashed into the net.

Qiheng woke up. Fear and fear, these never go away.

"Your Highness! Su Ling is here with his troops! One shouted.

"Where has he been? What is he going to do? Qi Heng was shocked.

"No, he went to quell the chaos before, and now he has returned to Haimen, and I heard that he is going to attack Jiqu." The man panicked.

Qiheng got up from the bed, put on his clothes, took off the dagger, and put it close to his body, and was about to go out.

"Your Highness! Where to go? Shao Zi'an also woke up when he heard the voice, and when he opened the door, he saw Qiheng hurriedly going out.

Qi Heng said, "Su Ling! Su Ling called, and they couldn't stop him. Prepare the boat for me, I'm going to find Chen Xiu. ”

Shao Zi'an looked around, "Who said that Su Ling called?" ”

Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't see anyone everywhere, and the whole courtyard was empty, only him and Shao Zi'an.

When, and since when did you start being afraid of Su Ling? A long time ago, on the snow-capped mountains of Chen Guo, it was still him, and at that time he was desperately trying to protect himself. Qi Heng was stunned and sat on the ground in a trance.

"Your Highness?" Shao Zi'an was slightly startled and stepped forward to help Qiheng.

"It's a dream, it's just a dream!" Qi Heng lost his mind, laughed self-deprecatingly, pushed Shao Zi'an away and stumbled back to the room alone. (To be continued.) )
