Chapter 001: Autumn in the Old Garden

In the afternoon of September, the sky is high and the clouds are faintly scattering a few wisps of wind, and the garden is full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which is the most comfortable and pleasant day of the year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The breeze blows through the swing frame, blowing a few white chrysanthemums next to the frame, and gently lifting the hair tips and skirt corners of the people on the rack. The layered skirt is as light as cicada wings, and when blown by the wind, it is like a turbulent sea with thousands of piles of snow.

The picturesque beautiful girl, pure and clear, as if carved from ice and snow, somehow came out of her mind, as if she was full of thoughts.

The big dark green bird spread its wings and circled in front of her from the courtyard gate. When he settled still, he could see that the beak and feathers of the bird were dotted with a little white, like the snow covered by the branches of green pines.

The smile instantly soaked the girl's wet black eyes, she turned her head to look at the courtyard gate, jumped off the swing frame, and called out in surprise, "Third brother!" ”

Gongyi was dressed neatly, holding a birdcage in one hand, and walked into the yard with a smile on his face. With a soft pout, the bird flew into the cage.

"It's ...... Blue birds? The girl looked at the bird and smiled, "I didn't expect the third brother to train it so well." ”

"Of course." Gong Yixi's face was a little proud, and then he said, "This time I went to Cangguo with my eldest brother, and I happened to meet this kind of bird." ”

It is a very rare spirit bird, and it is said that it can never be forgotten. In the past ten years, it has only been found in the western part of Cangguo, but it has not been peaceful in the western wilderness. Gong Yisi said lightly, but she knew that it must have taken a lot of effort for him to get there.

The two teased the bird for a while, and she sighed at him, "It's a pity that this cage seems too small and too ugly." ”

"You girl." Gongyi smiled, "If you send something, you still have to be suspicious, third brother, I'm so bullying?" ”

"Where." The girl stuck out her tongue and smiled, "The third brother is not easy to bully at all." ”

The two of them handed the birdcage to the maid, and went to the grandmother hand in hand. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the second brother Gongyi Xiu's little servant waiting outside, and the second brother was talking to his grandmother in the house.

Gongyi had already come home once when she first returned home, and at this time she was naughty and didn't allow anyone to report it, so she squatted under the window with her cat, and said with a smile: "Listen to what grandma and second brother say, is it urging him to marry earlier." ”

The girl laughed too. With his ears pressed against the wall, he vaguely heard only a few words, as if he was calculating the journey of the carriage and horses, and then there was no sound.

Gongyi tugged at the corner of her clothes, and the two of them were about to slip away, but the red window above their heads was opened from the inside first, Gongyi Xiu poked his head out, and Qingjun's eyebrows were full of gentle smiles, "Who should I be, it turned out to be two little mice." ”

When she entered the house, the old lady took her into her arms, but blamed her grandson, "Si'er is really the most stubborn, and she only knows how to dance with knives and sticks every day, so you should find a daughter-in-law to take care of you." ”

Gongyi wanted to argue, but she didn't dare to contradict her grandmother in front of her, and for a while she became a grinning and speechless look. The girl smiled "poof", and Gongyi Xiu couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth.

She took the opportunity to relieve him and asked, "Grandma, where is the eldest brother?" ”

When it came to the eldest grandson, the old lady was still quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Your eldest brother, as soon as he comes back, he will go into the kitchen, as if he has nothing to eat without his family." ”

Although the gentleman is far away from cooking, cooking and business are the two hobbies of the eldest brother.

"That's also the eldest brother's filial piety to grandma, and he feels sorry for us little ones." The girl rubbed against her grandmother's cheek, and the old lady's face blossomed with joy.

At the dinner table, Gongyi looked at his second brother, and suddenly became distracted.

It is a shame to say that the Gongyi family is known as "the most brilliant pearl of wisdom north of the Tang River", and the resourceful and wise people in the family have always been the backbone of the government of the country. But in their generation, the spiritual wisdom accumulated over hundreds of years seems to have reached the body of the second brother Gongyi Xiu. Gong Yisi neither likes to read, nor has talent, and hates those twists and turns. Fortunately, my grandfather and father were very open-minded when they were there, and they never demanded anything from them. Because of his good martial arts, his family also made a special trip to invite a master for him.

Gong Yisi looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law again.

In the past two years, he has also "not done his job", his grandmother has been naughty when she sees him, and his eldest brother is running around and working hard, and he is a good housekeeper. In the final analysis, it is probably that the eldest brother married a daughter-in-law, and he didn't even have a word. Gongyi thought about it, some of his dark faces couldn't help but turn red, and his handsome features were stained with a hint of shyness.

Gongyi was so engrossed that he didn't notice that he chewed a green vegetable for a long time, and the whole family stopped their chopsticks to look at him, smiling in their eyes.

"What does the third brother think?" Gongyi Xiuxiao put a chicken leg into his bowl.

Gong Yi said no, while chewing on the chicken legs.

After dinner, the brothers and sisters sat by the water to watch the stars. The autumn night sky is bright and starry, deep and open, making people feel that they are so far away from the sky, and they accidentally stretch a dream.

"Husband, did you say that there are immortals in the stars?"

Gong Yi smiled and replied to his wife's childish question, "I don't know, there shouldn't be." ”

"And where do the immortals live?" The sister-in-law continued to ask, "Where is the legendary Three Divine Heavens?" ”

The girl listened to the soft whispers of her brother and sister-in-law, and thought to herself that the eldest brother must be the most elegant businessman in the world, the best-looking cook, and the most gentle husband to his wife.

When Gongyi saw her coming, he thought that she was also curious, so he said: "These anecdotes, it is better to ask the second brother to tell you, he always knows more." ”

Gongyi Xiu did not shirk it, and said with a slight smile, "The so-called Three Divine Heavens are not one place, but after the gods retreated, the immortal cultivators divided into three sects based on the different teachings left by the gods, which are called Shenghuatian, Luojiatian and Wuzangtian. Among them, Shenghua is strict, Luojia is benevolent, and there is no Tibetan Qingning. There are many branches under each god. As for the specific location, it is probably always in the beautiful mountains and rivers, rivers and seas, like mortals such as us, they can't find their place. ”

Gongyi immediately stood up for it, shook his sleeve and said, "Good second brother, just say more." ”

Gongyi Xiu knew that his younger brother's temperament was the most fond of these gods and monsters, if it weren't for no fate, he would have to go to that sacred mountain, and he didn't bother him immediately, and thought about it: "When people in many places pray, they always have to say the last sentence 'Mercy and great snow in the sky'. It is said that he once blocked 100,000 demon soldiers with the power of one person and one sword, and even the ethereal demon lord who washed the god realm in blood and killed countless gods also died at his hands. That's why the world calls it 'Ragnarok'. ”

Gong Yixi's eyes lit up and asked, "So powerful, is he a human, an immortal, or a god?" ”

"It doesn't matter what it is." Gong Yixiu said with a smile, "In short, after the last battle between gods and demons, he is already a god in the eyes of the world." ”

The sister-in-law also listened with great interest and asked, "What about later?" And what after the Great War? ”

"Then he retired." Gongyi cultivated, "But the place of seclusion is not a secret, it is called 'Liuyun Tianshu'." It was originally the 'Shu' of the clouds and clouds, but the people of the world admired its manners, and preferred to call it the 'pivot' of the center, and even called its earth the Tianshu Mansion. Unfortunately, the world only knows the Tianshu Mansion, but does not know where the Tianshu Mansion is. ”

Gongyi was about to ask again, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the girl beside him supporting her forehead with her hand, frowning lightly, and there seemed to be pain in her eyes. Gongyi Xiu and the others also saw it together, and immediately said with concern: "What's wrong with Yao'er, but it's not comfortable?" ”

There was a dull pain in my brain before, but now it's better not to think about it. She shook her head, signaling that it was okay. The sister-in-law pinched her hands coldly, ordered someone to take her coat and cover her, and personally sent her back to the room.

The girl returned to the room, teased the blue bird for a while, and felt a sense of confusion in her heart. Can you never forget it? She still had some hope in her heart.

She sat down at the table, poured herself a cup of warm tea and held it in her hand, but took out the jade pendant from her placket with one hand and rubbed it gently.

The incomparably concise style, but the jade material is the most delicate and gentle, the second brother has seen it, and said that it is the top jade of his mountain. The bottom of the pendant is carved with a small "Yao" word, the strokes are vigorous, the engraving is exquisite, and there is no more.

After wandering for a while, I heard someone outside the house ask, "Is my little sister sleeping?" ”

It was the voice of the second brother.

Before the little girl on night duty in the porch could answer, she opened the door and called "second brother".

Gong Yixiu nodded and smiled, walked into the house and took a seat, so that the girls stayed outside the house and did not hide the door. Although they have a good relationship, they are not brothers and sisters after all, and they need to avoid suspicion in the middle of the night.

Gongyi Xiu lit the lamp, and seeing that her complexion had returned to normal, she also got straight to the point, "I discussed with my grandmother today and planned to take you to Jiang Zhu's side." ”

"Jiang Zhu?" The girl's eyes showed a little puzzlement, but then she also woke up. Today, I eavesdropped on the corner of my grandmother and my second brother, and I planned that the carriage and horses were originally for going out.

"Big hidden in the city." Gongyi cultivated, "Jianghai Yushenglou is in the south of Jiangzhu City." ”

"Is that one, the one whose medical skills are the best in the world, Jiang Hai Yushenglou?"

"Not bad." "As long as it is the disease they take, there is nothing that cannot be cured." ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Why did the second brother choose to go at this time?" There are still more than three months to go, and the New Year is coming. "And the time spent on the back and forth is close to January. She knew that her illness was not ordinary and curable.

The two looked at each other quietly under the lamp, and finally Gongyi Xiu first removed his eyes and said: "Jiang Hai Yu Sheng Building only issues seven 'Jiang Hai Orders' a year, and you need to hold Jiang Hai Orders in order to get the treatment of the owner of the building." ”

"But Jiang Hailing's order was dispatched as early as the beginning of the year."

"Not bad." "But in addition to the Jianghai Order, every autumn, they will also issue an unlimited number of 'Rest of Life Orders'. ”

The girl was slightly stunned.

"Let's try our luck." Gongyi Xiu patted her on the shoulder, stood up and said, "The pain of losing the past, second brother understands. ”

He looked into her eyes as if to look into her heart. She nodded slightly, watching him go.
