Chapter 22 A Thousand Machines and Foolish Elegance
Watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, although this day is not leisurely, it is also uneventful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I have a task, I go out, and the young master has compiled me into his ghostly black-clothed force, the Night Crying Ghost, which is considered exercise, and there are no tasks on weekdays, most of them are training at home.
When I have nothing to do, I run to Mr. Shen's yard, listen to a group of literati talk about poetry, lecture on scriptures, they are also wide, astronomy and geography, classics, and even the number that ordinary readers despise, are also very proficient, Mr. Shen is all day long holding a thousand secret hidden boxes to study, he is good at work, the general mechanism is not difficult for him, and he once made a small wooden man, walking and pouring tea and water is not a problem, very interesting.
When I was bored, I ran to Yinzhi, since the eldest lady got married, I begged the young master to let Yinzhi stay in Shuyun Garden, and took the clothes and embroidered flowers made of Yinzhi, "Young master, Yinzhi's needlework is very good, you see if you leave her, you won't have to worry about your clothes or anything in the future!" ”
The corners of the young master's mouth twitched, "If it weren't for your needlework being too bad, would I have to send out a broken piece of clothing to make up for it!" ”
"Young master, there's no way to do it, if you want me to kill people with a sword, I can do it, but I really can't do this needle and thread! So just leave the silver branch behind, okay? "I cheekily dangled in front of him for days, and finally got the man whose heart was getting worse and worse to agree.
In the afternoon, it suddenly rained, and the pouring was as if it was going to rain all the year, which was not a good sign! Jingzhou is located in the border area, drought and little rain, surrounded by desert Gobi, where can it rain so much at once!
The young master was sitting in the corridor, and the wind was blowing on the thin man, his face was a little pale, and his black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, which was a little smoother than the fine silk, and the feel was incomparable to the satin woven by a skillful craftsman. The plain single clothes are not simple, and the whole person looks like they are about to disappear at any time.
"Xian Ge, why are you standing there?" The young master's voice summoned me back to God.
My heart shook for a moment, and I realized that my face was cold, and I raised my hand to realize that I didn't know when I had burst into tears, and my heart was sour.
wiped the tears on his face casually, went to the white fox cloak, and approached the fairy-like person step by step, "Young master, it's windy on the corridor, let's go back to the room!" ”
He put his cloak on my hand, looked at me, and said, "No, I want to see the rain and the wind blowing here, I haven't seen it in a long time." String song, why are you crying? ”
"Young master, you are not afraid of the wind blowing and catching a cold." I half-knelt on the ground and tied the strap of his cloak and straightened his collar, "Where to cry, I won't cry." ”
"What's the hard mouth, what's wrong?" The young master touched my head and asked.
"No, it's just that I looked at the young master just now, and suddenly found that if one day Xian Ge can't be with the young master anymore, and I won't see you again, I cried unconsciously, I really didn't cry." I looked at this jade-like man and thought to myself, what if there really was such a day, what would I do?
"Separated?" The young master seemed to be stunned for a moment, his eyes were empty, he looked into the distance, and muttered in his mouth, "Sooner or later, there will be a day, Xian Ge is now fourteen, and if you meet someone you like in a few years, I won't stop you, but it's not that you won't see you again." ”
"I don't want to get married yet, I want to be with you all the time." I looked at him and spoke my mind.
"Silly girl, what is the best way out with me, but you don't have to worry, I still want to keep you for a few more years, at least, at least until we succeed." The young master's dark color was gloomy.
"Then I will always accompany the young master and wait for that day." I looked at him fixedly, thinking that if we didn't succeed, none of us would survive, and we would have to meet again in the Netherworld.
Looking at the heavy rain pouring outside the corridor, the flowers that were still in full bloom yesterday have long been unable to see their original appearance, and the petals are scattered all over the place.
"Young master, if you come back that day, we will definitely succeed."
"Yes, Lord Ming. We will. ”
I could hear a commotion ahead, especially in the silence, and I was about to get up to see what was going on, when the interpreter had already come to report it.
"Young Master, Mr. Shen is here." The crisp female voice is particularly pleasant, and the voice and interpretation are all top beauties, tender like water, but after almost two years of hard work, I haven't been able to climb into the young master's bed, so I can't help but feel a little congested.
"Mr. Shen? Please come in. The young master looked suspicious and ordered to go down.
"On such a day, what is the urgency of Mr. Shen!" I said softly, still pushed the young master's wheelchair, and went back to the room.
Mr. Shen really came in the rain, his clothes were already soaked, and the thin umbrella didn't work at all in such a heavy rain. When we entered, we had just wiped off the water on our bodies and held the ginger soup that Xunyin had cooked in advance.
"Young master, I have made a big discovery!" Seeing the young master come in, he hurriedly put the bowl in his hand on the table, and was about to come forward.
"Mr. Shen has something to say slowly, don't worry, it's better to get rid of the cold first, nothing is as healthy as Mr." The young master stopped him, pointed to the ginger soup on the table, and said slowly.
"Thank you! I'm really disturbed when I come here at this time, it's just, that ......" said this, glancing around.
"Xunyin Jieyu, you go down first, remember to find dry clothes for Mr. Shen." The young master retreated left and right.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
"Sir, please go on." The young master gestured.
"I opened the box a few days ago, this mechanism is really rare, if it weren't for the mechanism I learned from a master many years ago, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to crack it." Mr. Shen slowly said something about the Thousand Secrets, and his face could not hide his excitement.
"There is an ancient book in the box, which records all the ancient wooden armor techniques, and all the wooden armor puppets are used in the battle of attack and receiving. I studied it carefully for a few days, and found that none of these tricks were something I could do now, but there were some that looked more delicate, and I tried to do them. I came here and found a mezzanine in the box, and that's what was there. As he spoke, Mr. Shen took out a booklet wrapped in oiled paper from his arms, opened it carefully, and it was a yellowed ancient book, and handed it to the young master.
Thousands of secrets were left by a woman more than 100 years ago, legend has it that her martial arts are unfathomable, legend has it that her appearance is captivating, legend has it that she is a mercenary, and legend has it that she is ...... She left behind many legends, most notably the story of how she helped her husband, a prince at the time, overthrow the regime and establish himself as king.
The young master looked at this yellowed ancient book, his expression slowly became serious, and he finally put it down. With a long sigh, "Mr. Shen, put it down, don't study those things, if they are made, sooner or later they will be a scourge." ”
The young master sighed, and an inaudible voice spread through the room, "Take those things and destroy them." ”
"It's all sins!"
More than 100 years ago, there was a woman named Xianya, who was the heir of an ancient family, mastered the mysterious mechanism wood armor technique, was smart and clever since childhood, and was selected as the heir of the family.
When Xianya was an adult, she was born and experienced, and met King An at that time, King An was handsome, the wind god was outstanding, and she fell in love at first sight. The two met and fell in love.
Xianya has set up a force in the rivers and lakes, specializing in collecting intelligence and assassinating enemies, all for the ambition of King An.
In order to gain the power of Xianya's control, King An used her love to marry her, and Xianya betrayed the family and made a batch of wooden armor for King An to attack.
Finally, King An raised his army and pointed the spearhead at his brother, the emperor at that time, the princess Xian Ya used the wooden armor technique to attack him unprepared, creating many opportunities.
On the day of the breakdown, the entire capital was full of blood, generals, soldiers, people, ministers, women, children...... Their corpses were paved layer after layer, piled up in the streets and alleys, and their blood stained the streets and walls...... Three feet of blood on the ground, and the whole city has no survivors.
The bloody breath was endless, and stepping on the ground was either a human corpse or a sea of blood that filled the soles of the feet, which was terrible......
On the palace wall, the emperor looked at his people, his empire was so abused, and he was heartbroken, looking at his younger brother in Xuanjia, "If you want this world, how can I be reluctant?" Why are you so troubled! He pointed to the bones that littered the city, "How are they not your people, how are they not life!" ”
"Hahaha, give it to me? How could you be willing? Even the only thing I care about is going to snatch you, how can you give up this world! King An's face was covered with blood, his eyes were red, like a devil, and he stared at the woman in white behind the emperor, "Look, your people are all dead, and you are still busy spending the moon here, look, isn't this what you snatched?" ”
"It turned out to be her!" The emperor followed his finger and looked, the woman in white was the concubine who entered the palace a few years ago, he remembered that it was a woman like a poem, always plain and elegant, surprising, no fancy clothes, no gold and jade, that dusty woman turned out to be King An's favorite?
"Your Majesty, the slave is your person, and death is your ghost, now that the city is broken, the slave family went one step ahead of you, and I hope that I can still serve in the next life." With that, the bloodless woman jumped off the tower.
All that was left was a beautiful back, and that moment of a smile looking back.
King An's eyes were red, blood was spilling out, and he stabbed his spear into the emperor's chest.
The emperor collapsed, the younger brother ascended the throne, no one in the original city survived, and the newly relocated people were also secretive about the new emperor.
On that day, Xianya watched from the city wall, watching her beloved husband defy the world's condemnation and rebel for a woman, for the sake of her royal brother's woman......
Watching her husband go mad because of the death of a woman......
watched the brutality of her husband after he ascended the throne, and watched him use the mechanical armor to suppress batch after batch of rebel armies, and finally gave up.
Mourning is greater than dying, and I found that the sweetness of the past was all used, all disguised, and I lived as if nothing had happened for so many years. Xianya still gave up, taking away the wooden armor she had made, and taking away the heart she had left here.
The new emperor was furious and ordered a pursuit, and Xianya put all her life's learning and her own personal experience in this box, warning future generations that she was going to die.
Later, this box was obtained by the Lou family and passed on as a thousand secret collections.
