Prologue Years Later
The Ethereal Mountain is still shrouded in heavy fog all day long, the little Taoist boy is wearing a gray Taoist robe and cleaning the long bluestone slab steps hidden in the sea of clouds little by little, Qingming unconsciously hums the song he heard in the world many years ago and practices swords on the edge of the cliff. The old man sitting on the top of the Yunyin Peak www.biquge.info motionless, comprehending the laws of the world.
Lou Luan, dressed in black, stood on the Lingxiao Pavilion, the wind blew, and the clothes seemed to feather at any time. He looked at the many white-clothed disciples in front of him who were practicing swords in Wuji Square, and he thought of his brother and old friends who had passed away for many years, as well as himself many years ago. At that time, he only had monstrous hatred in his heart when he was practicing swords in Wuji Square with a long sword in hand, and revenge was the only thought that supported him to live.
"Master." A cold voice interrupted Lou Luan's thoughts. The owner of the voice was a woman dressed in red and carrying a long knife.
"Nianqing, what's the matter?" Lou Luan spoke, his voice cold and ethereal.
"Master, Nianqing doesn't want to leave the mountain, just wants to be with Shizun often." The woman named Nian Qing bit her lip and looked at Lou Luan in front of her. Master, doesn't he really understand her mind?
"Nianqing, I took your name, do you know why?" Lou Luan turned his head to look at Nian Qing.
Nian Qing knows. But the master respected her, ...... "Before Nian Qing's words were finished, Lou Luan raised his hand to interrupt Nian Qing's words, signaling to talk in another place.
"Come with me, it's not a good place to talk about this." Lou Luan turned around and left.
Nian Qing looked at Lou Luan's departing back, clenched her hand, and finally followed.
After passing through the Palace of Forgetfulness and walking through the sea of flowers, Lou Luan finally stopped under a peach blossom tree.
Nianqing looked at the peach tree that Lou Luan had stopped, it was the peach tree that Shizun planted for her.
"Never forget, my heart is Muqing." Lou Luan, who said this, plucked a peach blossom from the tree, closed his eyes and put it in front of him and sniffed it gently.
"Master, can't you still forget her?" Nian Qing looked at Lou Luan in front of him with his eyes closed and asked softly. She seemed to have known Shizun's answer.
"Nianqing, go down the mountain, you shouldn't be on this cold mountain." Lou Luan did not directly answer Nian Qing's words.
"If you say goodbye today, you may not see you again in this life. It's good for the master to look at me again. Nian Qing's voice was a little choked.
"What's the difference between seeing and not seeing?"
"Since this is the case, then Nianqing will go down the mountain, and I hope that the master will take care of his body." Nian Qing turned to leave, her red dress fluttering in the wind. Just like her mood at the moment, resolute. From now on, she will forget about this man who accompanied her to grow up.
After Nianqing left, Lou Luan slowly opened his eyes. There was endless nostalgia and love in his eyes. Even though he has a similar appearance and a similar temper, Nian Qing is not the red-clothed man he remembered after all.
The man in red had long since disappeared from years ago.
Zhifeng, who was wearing a blue and white robe, leaned against a tree at the exit of the Peach Blossom Forest, looked at Nian Qing, who came out of the Peach Blossom Forest with a knife in his hand, with a sad expression, showed a helpless expression, and then spoke: "Senior sister, why do you say you are doing this?" You reconcile, I mean that person is inherently different. ”
"Second senior brother, the master wants me to go down the mountain." There was a cry in Nian Qing's voice.
"That's right, the second senior brother also went down the mountain, and the second senior brother will take you to Chang Zhizhi." Zhifeng said, and Nianqing couldn't help refusing, so he took Nianqing down the mountain. "Second senior brother told you, the world under the mountain is fun, I guarantee that junior sister, you don't want to go up the mountain when you go down the mountain."
"So the second senior brother was punished a few times ago because he was greedy for fun at the bottom of the mountain." Nian Qing's voice came muffled.
"Oh, don't say this kind of thing, you can only understand it." Zhifeng's slightly hometown accent and a look of junior sister, you know, made Nianqing couldn't help laughing.
"Second Senior Brother, you are really a good person." Nianqing looked at Zhifeng and spoke, she knew that Zhifeng in front of her was comforting her.
"You little cub, the second senior brother just coaxed you to be happy and gave the senior brother a good person card, cursing the senior brother for not finding love, isn't it, it's too annoying." Zhifeng said and made an exaggerated expression of wanting to beat Nianqing.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I don't think you can find love in your life like you are now." After speaking, Nianqing lifted her skirt and ran down the long ladder of the bluestone slab down the mountain.
"Stop, hold back, just bury your second senior brother like this, little cub will let you see that the majesty of the second senior brother is inviolable." Zhifeng was angry by Nianqing's words, and couldn't help but say his hometown.
"Let's catch up with me first, second senior brother." As he spoke, Nian Qing grimaced at the man in blue and continued to run down the mountain.
"yes, I have to catch up today." As he spoke, Zhifeng tugged on his belt and began to run after Nianqing. After a while, Nian Qing heard the exclamation of a heavy object falling to the ground and the man in blue behind him. "Second Senior Brother?" Nian Qing stopped and turned around and asked tentatively.
No one answered her, but after a while, Nian Qing saw a blue figure rolling down from the mountain, and after a while, the blue figure rolled down in front of Nian Qing, Nian Qing thought about it, and then raised his hand and pinched a trick, and a small enchantment appeared. The blue-clad Wind Stopper eventually ends rolling when it hits the wall of the barrier. At this time, his blue-white robe had turned blue-gray.
"It hurts, it hurts." Zhifeng rubbed his waist and stood up.
"I'm sorry, Second Senior Brother. and caused you to roll down the steps. Nian Qing looked at the second senior brother in front of her with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Shifeng smiled like sunshine. "Let's hurry down the mountain, we won't be able to make it to the afternoon market if it's too late."
"Hmm." Nian Qing nodded.
Both men remained silent for the rest of the trip.
Nian Qing looked at all the things on the street with novelty, whether it was snacks or jewelry, which she had never seen on the mountain. Shuttling through the crowd, Nianqing felt that there was a feeling called happiness in her heart.
Looking at the lively little junior sister, it seems that I have completed half of the tasks assigned by the master. Zhifeng followed behind Nian Qing and sighed. Shizun is also yes, obviously he still feels sorry for the little junior sister, and even let the little junior sister go down the mountain. But yes, looking at the little junior sister and that person's almost identical face, Shizun must also have a bitterness in his heart and can't say it. Thinking of this, he hurriedly caught up with Nian Qing. He has to protect the little sister well. After all, the little junior sister hasn't been down the mountain since she was seven years old.
Nian Qing looked at the man in front of her a little bewildered, she had never encountered such a thing.
"Girl? It's okay. Lu Bai shook his hand in front of Nian Qing's eyes, is the girl in red in front of him okay? How stupid and stupid.
"Hey, what do you want to do to my junior sister." When Zhifeng caught up with Nian Qing, he saw a man stretching out his hand and shaking it in front of Nian Qing.
"Second Senior Brother, you misunderstood." Nian Qing heard the sound of stopping the wind and hurriedly explained.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." Zhifeng approached Nianqing, and when he saw the man beside Nianqing clearly, he couldn't help frowning. How did this guy end up here.
"Master Guoshi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm okay recently." Lu Bai smiled at Zhifeng.
Nian Qing carefully looked at the wind stop beside him a few times from top to bottom, this guy is a national teacher! Her second senior brother, a guy who can roll down the stairs when he walks down the stairs, and who can be rescued from the bandits by the senior brother when he goes down the mountain to do a mission, is actually a national teacher. Nianqing, she couldn't believe it.
Just when Nian Qing was staring at Zhifeng, Zhifeng and Lu Bai had secretly competed many times.
Your sister is very good-looking.
You guy, stay away from my sister.
We are brothers who share weal and giving, how can you be like this?
You care about me. Anyway, except for the little junior sister, everything else is easy to say.
"Let's go." The words to stop the wind brought Nian Qing back to his senses.
"Oh." In response to his senior brother's words, Nian Qing kept up with the pace of stopping the wind. “
"Goodbye." Lu Bai waved at the departing Nian Qing.
Glancing at Lu Bai and then at stopping the wind, Nian Qing quietly stretched out his hand and waved his hand to Lu Bai.
After walking for a while, Nian Qing looked at the frowning Zhifeng and finally asked. "Senior brother, who is that person, why are you so solemn."
"Nianqing, no matter what, don't approach that man." Zhifeng looked at Nianqing, and his tone was rare serious.
"I see." Although Nianqing doesn't understand why, if it is said by the senior brother, there should be nothing wrong.
Outside the window was a silent darkness, except for a crescent moon hanging in the sky, emitting a dim light, as if silently watching all the darkness and sin in the world.
Nianqing sat in front of the window and looked up at the moonlight, she followed her senior brother to the capital like this, it was still a little unbelievable. Those days of cultivation in the mountains were gone from her. Gently stroking the Linfeng knife in her hand, Nian Qing couldn't help but start thinking about the previous owner of this knife, Xie Zhao, the person who had the same fate as her, the witch who had killed dozens of righteous monks with one person and one sword. is also a woman who has been hidden in her heart by her master. What is your life like? If it were you, how would you choose in such a situation as mine? I have been imitating you because I was accepted as a disciple by my master because of my resemblance to you, but I am not you after all, maybe it's time to be yourself.
Nian Qing thought about it for a long time, and finally she made a decision. Since the master wants her to enter this rolling red dust, then she has to choose her life in her own way. Senior brother, I'm sorry, it seems that you may have to be punished again, but I decided to find out what the person in the master's heart is like first. I'm going to go through the path that Xie Zhao walked back then, and I'll come to my answer many years later.
Thinking of this, Nianqing held Lin Feng and stood up. She had to change out of the red dress on her body first.
All she has always liked is blue.
