A year later, the Moqing Dynasty, autumn.

Thousands of gullies, thousands of rocks compete for the show. Thousands of orchids, branches and branches, like gold and jade millet, scattered in the clear pool. Falling flowers chase the water, and the fragrance goes.

A thin and edged, deserted young man in white sat on his knees by the Qingtan stream, looking indifferent, watching the mountain spring and waterfall, the white clouds stretching out, and looking at it all day.

"On the fourth day, hasn't he eaten?"

Empress Dowager Hua Yi stood in the pavilion not far away, looked at the young man by the pond for a long time, and wanted to shed tears when she spoke. The breeze is green and bamboo, and the clear stream reflects the wind flow. But Zhiqian, you can't see this qiē, can you? Zhiqian, if you know in heaven, please help me and help me keep the jade phoenix. Without him, how can I live, Zhiqian?

The slender phoenix eyes fell a little wet, and when they lowered their heads, they all converged into deep pupils.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the master said that he wanted to become an immortal, so he only drank wind and dew, and we were not allowed to send food." The two blue-clothed young men kneeling on the ground saw that the Queen Mother's face had changed, and they said in unison.

"Become an immortal? What is he going to do to become an immortal? Empress Dowager Hua Yi narrowed her eyebrows, her eyes closed slightly, and the tears she had just held back almost fell again. Now, with internal and external troubles, if it weren't for Huayan sending troops to suppress Xuanbei last winter, maybe the Moqing Dynasty would have changed its name and surname a long time ago. The ministers of the DPRK and China deceived him into orphans and widows, and he had sole power. He doesn't care about any of this, does he know it? The Queen Mother shook her head slightly, no! She had to get him back, this country, can't wait. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother took three steps and made two steps and walked towards the edge of the pool.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was not good, the two young companions hurriedly ran two steps, stopped in front, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Back to the Queen Mother, the master said that he can see the first emperor after he becomes an immortal, please don't blame the master for the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Hua Yi was slightly stunned, and a string of clear tears slid down unguardedly. She stood against the wind for a long time.

After that, she bent down to help the two teenagers up. These two children were selected by Yuhuang from among the children of the Shi clan on the 100th day of her birth. One is the only son of her dowry girl, and the other is the only son of Mu Hua, a famous general in the court. These two children are almost raised in the deep palace, and they are inseparable from the Jade Phoenix, they are like brothers, and now they are so sensible, and it doesn't take her a lot of hard work back then.

Mrs. Hua Yi's tone slowed slightly, and she raised her hand slightly, and the two companions were relieved, and then retreated into the pavilion, but her eyes were firmly fixed in the direction of the mother and son.

The young man in white still looked motionless ahead, as if he was looking at a waterfall, as if he hadn't seen anything, and there was nothing in his eyes.

The Queen Mother saw his lonely shadow in the pool, infinite Liaosuo. He stretched out his hand to pull him up, but finally shrank back again.

Biting her lip, the Queen Mother slowly sighed, sat beside him and said softly, "Huang'er, what are you looking at?" ”

The young man turned his head slowly, turning his face slightly. Half of his face was as white as snow, and he was born with a gloomy look, but he smiled innocently and said, "Queen Mother, you look at the Qingxi in the sky, there are clouds in the sky, the clouds are swimming on the water, and people are in the clouds, so uncomfortable." ”

The queen mother sighed, and the young man let the queen mother gently hold him in her arms. The young man didn't move, and let the queen mother pat him on the chest and coax him, "Huang'er, is it okay to go back with the queen mother?" ”

The young man closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and sighed lightly, "The sea is flying dust, and the world is in the dust." Mother, go back by yourself. ”

The pond is cold and cold, and the west wind penetrates the bones. Empress Dowager Hua Yi's body was shocked, her face showed a sad look, her slender fingers stopped in mid-air, but she could no longer continue to shoot gently. She softened her nerves, then squinted and asked, "Who showed you those monastic books?" ”

The young man opened his eyes, and the stars were cold, like a cold jade through the sky.

With pale lips and white teeth, and a faint chuckle, he pushed her away and looked at her: "Is the queen mother going to order all the self-cultivation books in the imperial study to be burned?" Why is the queen so greedy for the world? In the eyes of the queen mother, can't the father and the emperor even compare to the world? The queen mother, is she going to capture her sons and continue to be the emperor? Does the queen mother want her sons to die young like their father? ”

The Queen Mother's heart was cold, her eyes were cold, and she endured it for a long time. Finally, he finally said softly, "This is your responsibility, you have nothing to complain about, and your father and emperor don't want to see you like this in the spirit of heaven." The young man remained motionless, and the Queen Mother continued, "There are some things that you will understand when you grow up. ”

The young man suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, looked back at Xijing again, and his eyes were also dyed with a hint of smile.

The Queen Mother only felt that her legs and feet were weak and she couldn't make a sound. She remembered that on the first day he entered the Yanxi Pavilion, she sued him. Only a really strong man is qualified to enter the Yanxi Pavilion. As soon as you enter the Yanxi Pavilion, looking back at Xijing, it is the time when the old man is extinct. After entering the Yanxi Pavilion, he was a person of the Yanxi Pavilion for the rest of his life, and there was no distraction, and there was nothing else.

In the heart of the queen mother, she is really the first in the world. What are the fathers and sons? The boy got up, stunned, and walked to the summit step by step, laughing.

The Queen Mother naturally knew what he was going to do, he was going to abandon her, he was going to go with his father, he didn't want the world anymore, he didn't want her as his biological mother. At this moment, even though the river and sea are churning, the face is still unfazed. She would rather take a gamble, if her only son is really so resolute and extreme, then the strength of the Moqing Dynasty is really exhausted. She knew that the death of his father was his biggest knot, and she had thought of many ways to solve it, but he was such a paranoid child, how could he listen to her words?

He is the person she loves the most in the world, but he hates her!

He is such an infuriating, heart-wrenching and distressed child.

She followed him step by step, watching his clothes puff up as the waterfall blows. She gritted her teeth, and that's it! In this life, even if it makes him hate him for the rest of his life, she will keep this country for him, and she promised him to help her protect his people and let them enjoy eternal stability.

After a while, the mother and son stood on the top of the peak together, only to see the mountainside pavilion, the green field wind and smoke, the air is difficult to distinguish.

"Yuhuang, are you so ruthless, do you want to leave the queen mother?" Finally, she burst into tears, looking at him with teary eyes.

The boy looked at her tears and raised his hand to wipe her, but she gently beat her back.

The young man's lips twitched, and tears fell, "It's the queen mother who doesn't want her son." ”

The Queen Mother wiped her tears, turned around and smiled bitterly, raised her tone and said, "I really didn't expect that I Hua Yi would have such an unresponsible son as you in this life." couldn't be the emperor, so in the name of the Tao, he ran to escape and seek death. If you want to go, you will go! Just like when I've never had you this kid! The mother-son relationship between you and me has ended, if you want to go, just go! ”

The clouds are high underwater, outside the pine window bamboo pavilion, there are two faint blue figures floating secretly, the light power is high, and the leaves are stepped on with the wind.

The Queen Mother's steps were smashed, and just a few steps stopped abruptly, she only hoped that this agitation could bring him back. When she said these words, her heart was not dripping blood, and no matter how painful her heart was, it could not withstand what he had just said, and he said, "Since the queen mother thinks so, then that's it!" ”

A feeling of powerlessness enveloped her, and she forgot to turn around to grab him. There were only two blue figures in her eyes that were getting closer and closer, and another soft mahjong restrained her hands and feet, and a crisp numb collided one after another, instantly breaking through her limbs. Her ears were filled with the sound of him falling, his clothes torn. She turned suddenly, didn't think of anything, and reached out to grab the white shirt that floated in the wind.

In the mist, she saw the child's delicate eyebrows and eyes, frowning slightly, and he was looking at her suspiciously. And she didn't know that she had fallen to the top at this moment, and her body fell rapidly in mid-air. She just wanted to grab him and hold him in her arms. He's just a seven-year-old child, a baby she should keep in her arms, and he's at the age of being spoiled, why do you have to bear this?!

The voice of the Queen Mother of "Huang'er" was torn apart by the wind and smoke, and the white clothes that originally fell below were getting closer and closer, and she finally caught him

"The Queen Mother?"

In a daze, the Queen Mother only heard someone keep calling her, and woke up slowly, and there seemed to be a green window in the haze. After a closer look, I saw it more clearly. The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and there was a faint sound of Lan Guiyi singing outside the window. Only then did I remember that when I went up the mountain, there were villagers fishing by the stream at the bottom of the mountain.

With a light in her eyes, the Queen Mother's heart moved, and she saw that Yuhuang was kneeling under the bed, her little face was not injured, and her clothes were torn in a few places. The Queen Mother was at ease, watching his small mouth open and close, holding herbs and blowing carefully.

Seeing that the queen mother was looking at him, the young man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly stirred the soup spoon, not knowing what he was thinking?

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, just looked at him for a long time.

"The Queen Mother?" After a long time, the young man raised his eyes, and a pair of dark eyes seemed to gather the spiritual light of heaven and earth, shining like stars.

"Huh?" The queen smiled and asked softly. No matter what he says, even if he is not the emperor anymore, forget it, she will not force him anymore.

The young man smiled slyly, "The queen mother will talk about it after drinking the medicine." ”

The queen mother's throat was aching, and she was a little hoarse, so it was inconvenient to say more, and after taking the medicine, she felt that her throat was a little sweet and refreshing, and there was no discomfort. As soon as he helped his sideburns, the boy tucked the pillow under her waist. With a smile, the Queen Mother took his little hand, and when she saw some new burns on it, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "Just let them boil the medicine." Does it still hurt? ”

The young man was slightly shy and shook his head.

In this mountain and wilderness, how can there be Lang Zhong, the Queen Mother touched his head and asked casually, "Is it your own medicine?" ”

The young man nodded, and one of his companions, named Jiang Zigu, interjected, "Queen Mother, don't worry, it's not poisonous." The master has tasted it himself. ”

The Queen Mother's heart was hot again, followed by a joy, it was very unpleasant, and when she spoke, she was seven or eight points better. Patted the side of the bed and motioned for him to sit on the side.

The young man fell to his knees with a pop, knocked his head a few times, and didn't say a word.

The Queen Mother chuckled and asked, "You, don't want to leave yet?" ”

The boy nodded, his deep eyes clear.

The Queen Mother smiled and asked again, "How long will it take?" ”

The boy looked up and said, "One year." ”

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, and she finally pulled him back. Then he sighed softly and said, "Yanxi Pavilion's training? ”

The young man smiled, "One qiē is the same as the old." ”

At this time, the mountain breeze is slightly cool, the slanting sun is slightly sprinkled, although it is ten days of twilight, suddenly see the rainbow. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay! ”

A few days later, news came from the DPRK and China. The young Emperor Ning Xi needed to recuperate for a year because he was unwell. Major affairs in the DPRK and China are temporarily represented by Qu Xiangjianguo.

At night, pine moon laurel clouds.

The three teenagers took advantage of the moonlight to return to the mountain forest, the autumn wind rose, and when they walked to the mountainside, a layer of light sweat on the three of them had been blown dry. A young man in white who was walking in the front suddenly stopped, looked back and made a silent gesture to the two teenagers behind him. The two teenagers in the back glanced at each other, then stopped where they were. When I looked at it, I saw that there was a mouse in front of me who was stopping and listening.

Mu Qing watched it for a long time, and he didn't dare to move, but he didn't see the reason. Tilted his head slightly to Jiang Zigu's ear and whispered a few words, Jiang Zigu smiled slightly, but did not answer.

The rat was looking down and concentrating on eating, when he suddenly heard movement and listened again. After listening for a while, he looked around, and decisively pulled his legs and fled.

The young man in white shook his head and chuckled, "If it weren't for you, it would have eaten for a while, who let you speak?" ”

Mu Qing smiled, "What's so good about the master looking at mice?" The master wants to like it, I will catch a black-necked crane for the master tomorrow, and the crane will look good when dancing. ”

The white-clothed young man raised his head and smiled, "The black-necked crane you said only exists in Cainan, and you are going to gather thousands of miles here, how can you get there in one night, and you actually talk to coax me." ”

Mu Qing didn't want this big word to be recognized by the master on the spot, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, scratched his head, went around behind Jiang Zi's hometown, and walked to the rear.

Jiang Zi realized that the rat was the mouse, and couldn't help but say, "There is no movement, it is the time when the rat is most relaxed." Relaxed rats will eat, and if they eat too much, they will be easy to catch. According to the slave, if we don't scare it tonight, it will come back tomorrow. ”

The young man in white smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

The group walked a few more steps, and when they arrived at the residence, the door had already been opened in front of the imperial guard. The young man in white didn't go in, but sat on the threshold, holding his chin and asking Mu Qingdao, "Is there any news about General Mu?" ”

If the emperor doesn't enter the house, who would dare to go in, although the two of them walked with sore legs, they had to stand under the threshold with their master.

Mu Qing saw that his master looked thoughtful, and said in his heart: "My father disappeared for more than a year for no reason, and his family also searched everywhere, but no clues were found. Then he replied truthfully, "No." ”

After hearing this, the young man had a faint look on his face, and there was no other expression.

Mu Qing didn't know what the master was thinking about, and after sitting for a while, he felt drowsy and yawned.

Seeing him like this, the young man smiled faintly, "Mu Qing, you go in and sleep first." So, bring me the booklet I want, and I'll take a look at it tonight. ”

Mu Qingshi couldn't stand it, got up from the ground, walked to the bedroom in a few steps, and fell asleep. Jiang Zi casually put a blanket on him, and then walked out of it with a few thick booklets.

The boy squinted and flipped through the pages of one book, thought for a while, and quickly took another one and turned a few pages, his mouth moving. Suddenly, the light increased a lot, only to find that Jiang Zi had lit a few more lamps, and he was still holding one in his hand, standing beside him. For a while, I remembered that when my father was alive, every time I read, my mother was by my side, my nose was sore, and tears seemed to come out.

My heart was warm, and I was a little grateful, and my eyes were lowered, but I didn't show it.

Jiang Zi is already a very smart person, and most of them can understand the master's intentions, but this time he doesn't know what the hell he wants to do. On weekdays, the master reads some books on the formation of Qimen Dunjia, or books on Buddhism and Taoism, and occasionally looks at musical scores. This is really the first time that I am anxious to see the genealogy of the Chinese military minister.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the master laugh and said: "It's a pity! Cai Shangshu. ”

Jiang Zi didn't have time to ask, but he heard the master smile again: "It's fun!" This drunken book. ”

Jiang Zi said in his heart, "Now the entire dynasty is the most powerful, who doesn't know that it is Qu Xiang, how can the master mention these two people alone?" Thinking of this, he deliberately put the Qu family's genealogy on it. The boy picked it up casually, and in less than a cup of tea, he flipped through the entire family tree without any comments. After flipping through it, he picked up the genealogy of the Cai family and looked at it carefully. This time, I watched it very seriously and turned it extremely slowly.

Jiang Zi couldn't figure out why a family that was declining could attract the special attention of the master, was it because of the relationship between the concubines? After standing for a while, I couldn't help but yawn.

The light flickered, and the young man put down the booklet in his hand, got up and said with a smile, "You go to sleep too, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Jiang Zi woke up suddenly, chased a few steps behind, the young man waved his hand, Jiang Zi was not easy to follow, so he sent a few people to follow from afar.

The young man first walked to the waterfall, stood for a while, then folded his sleeves and lay on the grass, looking at the stars in the blue sky, and asked childishly, "Eternal stars, why is a person's life just a finger?" ”

The galaxy is vast, and the sun and the moon are speechless.

I don't know when, there was a young man in Tsing Yi on the top of the peak, and when he was independent for a long time, he smiled slightly when he heard this words. This person's eyes are bright, his body is faintly faintly bright, and his eyes are far away, which is Dongyu Immortal Mountain thousands of years ago.

The Venerable Master Xuanqing was dressed in white and composed music under the moon. Where the eyes droop slightly, the fallen flowers are colorful, and the fragrance is all over the ground.

"Venerable Master, I really didn't expect that you would have to enter the calamity again after cultivating to such a point?" The Venerable Master Xuanqing sat quietly, as if he hadn't heard, his index finger was slightly raised, and a string of notes was imprinted on the surface of the lake, shining with golden light, and the beauty was extraordinary.

The breeze blew, and the Venerable Master Xuanqing smiled at the corners of his lips, and his ten fingers caressed the long qin. The melody is fluttering, and the notes on the lake are sparkling one after another. The falling flowers that had fallen or swirled in the air slowly swayed upward, and following the tune, they all climbed up to the branches and leaves, growing so well that they seemed to have never left the branches.

At the end of the song, the wide sleeves of the white clothes were slightly raised, and the slender and long fingers were still on the side of the piano case.

The Medicine Immortal Zhenjun standing behind him had long been accustomed to ignoring this friend, and he was listening to it with interest, and he didn't know when he paused. Suddenly, he turned around and sighed, "Zhenjun is here to laugh at this immortal?" I'm afraid that when this immortal travels to the catastrophe, you will be lonely again! ”

Green silk is like ink, white clothes are like snow, such a smile is not a smile, and the clear behavior of all beings is reversed, no wonder some people are willing to be obsessed with him for thousands of years.

Medicine Immortal Zhenjun laughed a few times, waved his wide sleeves, pulled the Venerable Master and said with a smile, "I'll show you the fun." ”

Venerable Master Xuanqing glanced at him, knowing that he must be talking about the catastrophe, so he gently pulled off his sleeve and said jokingly, "What you can see, I can naturally see completely." Don't look at it. With that, he got up and poured a cup of tea, and pushed it to the side of Zhenjun.

Medicine Immortal Zhenjun had already included the matter of the catastrophe in his sleeve, and wanted to tell him about the antecedents, but he didn't want him to be even curious. Boredom picked up the teacup, drank two sips of the elixir and jade liquid, tasted it for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you remember that the Venerable Master saved a little girl herding cattle thousands of years ago?" ”

Master Xuanqing has always been lazy in his thoughts, so he didn't even think about it, and said casually, "I forgot." ”

Medicine Immortal Zhenjun looked at his friend in front of him with some amusement, this immortal who had gone through several generations and finally cultivated his merits. Now, the three flowers are gathered at the top, and the five qi are in the dynasty, but they have not experienced a catastrophe. Come to think of it, the number of ancient immortals is small, the competition is not fierce, and it is not like when you became an immortal, you have to go through more than a hundred eons before you can be feathered. Thinking of this, Medicine Immortal Zhenjun was even more amused, how could such a lonely, lonely and cold immortal suddenly go down to earth to save a little girl herding cattle thousands of years ago.

"I really don't remember?" Zhenjun asked again.

Master Xuanqing narrowed his eyes and thought about it, a few years ago in the cultivation dojo, he did meet a little girl herding cattle. She was staring at her idol in a daze, blocking the grass that the cow was eating, stepping on the cow's rope, and being injured by the horns. On the same day, I happened to pass by here and rescued her casually. This is the only earthly person he has been in close contact with in the past few years, although he is not deeply impressed, but he still has some memories.

Thinking of this, the Venerable Master Xuanqing knew what he meant, and said lightly, "When karma is extinguished, why bother with persevering? ”

After hearing this, Medicine Immortal Zhenjun laughed again. He was not surprised by this answer. A person who cultivates immortals is already indifferent to worldly feelings, not to mention that he is an immortal.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Zhenjun shook his head and sighed.

Master Xuanqing hooked his lips and smiled, "If you want to arouse the curiosity of this immortal, this immortal is not curious. Taking advantage of this, you and I should stop gossiping, so that the immortals can do some other things. What should go is always going to go, what should be back is always going back, and there is no point in small talk. Having said that, his heart still moved slightly, everything has a cause, but it may not be able to achieve results. He inadvertently planted the cause, but he didn't care about it, unless it was this little girl doll, who had been planting flowers and watering trees, and growing seedlings, it was bound to bear fruit. This fruit is his, and it is a calamity.

Seeing that he had already gotten up, Medicine Immortal Zhenjun didn't know if he was going to pick immortal grass somewhere else. In a hurry, she stepped on the auspicious clouds, followed him closely, and said with a smile, "This female doll used the power of the ninth life's wishes, and she had to bathe in fire and water for hundreds of years every time before she was reincarnated, so that she could meet you in the next life." It wasn't until the eleventh that "

IX? Master Xuanqing suddenly grabbed his sleeve and stopped in mid-air. This desire is the cause.

The inky black eyes drooped slightly, and the flowing clouds and black hair fell down and fluttered on the shoulders. With a slight pinch of his fingers, he suddenly sighed gloomily, "It will take thousands of years before I will be punished by fire and water." Why obsess? ”

One thousand two hundred and eleven, two lives.

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and looked down at the young man who was still lying on the grass, "I really look forward to the way you grow up." The autumn night is cold, and some lonely voices are unknown, but they are as sad as water, "It's been so long, why haven't you come back?" ”

All the way to the north, the west wind has yellow leaves, and the grass is faint and smoky. The north is no colder than the south.

People say that Yong'an, the capital of Xuanbei, is a prosperous place, where there is endless food, endless good scenery, endless mare's milk, and a lot of beautiful clothes that can not be worn. In this city, under a wall, there was a little girl in rags, unkempt and dirty, mixed among a group of beggars, and she had this thought in her heart, and she asked for food all the way.

People are right, she gets food here, and the people here are happy to give alms.

As usual, she hugged her knees and basked in the sun like everyone else. A steamed bun smashed on top of her, and the steamed bun jumped up and rolled down on her broken shoe.

She stared at her toes in a daze, not moving.

The child who threw the steamed bun said with a smile, "Mother, you see, she is a fool." ”

Seeing that she didn't move, an old beggar next to her kicked her and said, "I don't know how to pick up anything to eat, it's really stupid." With that, she stretched her waist, hooked the steamed bun at her feet, picked it up, put it in her pocket, and lay down lazily.

Seeing that she still didn't move, the child who threw the steamed bun simply threw the slingshot, pebble, walnut and so on in the cloth bag at her, her neck shrank slightly, and hugged her legs tighter. The other beggars were not happy and said, "You child, why do you beat people indiscriminately?" ”

When the child's mother saw that the situation was not right, she pulled the child back, but the child was still unwilling and kept turning her head to see what was going on. At this time, the little beggar suddenly lifted

Got up, a mouthful of white and neat fine teeth, dull eyes, hehe smiled, "Fool, fool, hehe, fool"

The little child jumped up for joy, "Mother, you see what a fool she is! ”

The woman glanced back, took the child farther and farther down the street, and after a while, walked around the corner shop, pù, and disappeared. The little girl stared blankly in the direction they had left, her eyes becoming more and more empty and dazed. "You have to remember that if you escape, you will never come back, you know?!"
