Chapter 43: Wonders of the Western Regions
When the Lord announces the beginning of the feast, the people in the court are happy, and everyone respects each other, and for a time they are staggered, laughing and talking, and the sake is abundant, and they are indulged in heavy drinking, and they exchange cups and lamps.
Needless to say, the majesty of the lord Xuanwu was not to be mentioned, but the spirit master beside him, who was also slowly pouring wine and drinking, aroused Minsa's interest, and she secretly looked at him.
I saw that although the spirit master was more than 100 years old, his hair was snow-white and his face was full of wrinkles, he was tall, not a little rickety, and his eyes were also very sharp.
On that day, he walked in and out of the temple with his blindfolded self, and he could feel from his words that he was a kind and wise old man, and now he was really not an ordinary person.
"How old is the Soul Master?" Minsa asked.
"This, I don't know very well, it should be more than a hundred." Still said in response.
This is still needless to say, I already knew, Minsa thought with disdain in his heart.
"Then why is he called a Soul Master?" Minsa asked again.
"The original name of the Lingshi is Zongheng, he is the think tank star who assists the three generations of the lord of Yunling, and he is also the current national teacher, and the people in the imperial city call him the spirit master, praising his wisdom as great as the spiritual power of the spirit tree."
It turned out that this was the case, Minsa glanced at the Soul Master with some admiration, who knew that the Spirit Master at this time was also looking this way, and it happened to collide with his own gaze.
Minsa couldn't dodge it, but the Soul Master smiled at her first, and there was a smile in the wrinkles on his face. Minsa hurriedly returned a polite smile.
All this was also seen by the Venerable Lord Wanfu who looked at Minsa from time to time.
After looking at Mingsa, the spirit master was less thoughtful, so he raised his glass to toast to the lord, seeing that he was quite hesitant to open his mouth to ask, Wan Fu knew in his heart, so without waiting for the spirit master to ask, Wan Fu said to himself: "Don't worry, I have measure." ”
After speaking, Wanfu smiled and signaled to reassure the spirit master.
He knew that the Soul Master must be worried that he would see Minsa's sunny face, and rekindle the emotions he had suppressed for many years, but in fact, so long had passed, and he could have already dealt with these small fluctuations in his heart, and the occasional slight fluctuations could calm down for a moment.
It's just that after calming down, his heart turned into a pool of stagnant water again, and Wanfu didn't know whether he was pursuing a stagnant calm or a feeling of wanting to stir up ripples.
At this time, when the feast was at its most enthusiastic, he knocked on the corner of Minza's table and said to her, "The performance brought by the people of the Western Regions has begun, look at it." ”
Minsa hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw several people dressed in Western Regions preparing ropes in front of the stage in the middle.
I saw a long rope hanging down through the column, and the ends of the rope at both ends were tied to the wooden wheels placed on the ground, and two strong men tightened the ropes between the wooden wheels, so that the long rope on the column was as straight as a piano wire. Then two fair women tiptoed up from the end of the rope and began to perform.
The two women who performed were swinging back and forth on the ropes, pitching and dancing, and the silk ropes under their feet floated in the air, light as fairies. The encounter passed sideways, without any intention of dodging or fearing. And this thrilling action also corresponded with the drum music in the audience, which made everyone applaud.
This is not the most exciting, the next is said to be the most brilliant performance in the Western Regions.
The performers are dressed as dragons, and several "yellow dragons" are at first tossing and turning in the four corners of the feast, and then jump into the pool in the center of the feast, and disappear in an instant.
But in the pool, there were a few huge golden fish, which vibrated their fins and tails in the water, and jumped and gargled in the water. At the moment when people were surprised to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, the pool suddenly gave birth to smoke, and four "yellow dragons" appeared again in the mist, and several "yellow dragons" jumped out of the water, and the dragon body shone with water droplets, reflecting each other with the moonlight. It's a spectacle!
The aristocrats who were accustomed to seeing the KitKat performances sitting in the middle of the banquet couldn't help but cheer at this time, and this performance was really eye-opening.
At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly stopped, causing everyone to suddenly wake up from the noise just now, quietly holding the wine glass, waiting for something to happen.
Then the beautiful melody sounded again, and a dancer with a light gait moved with the wind, her graceful posture seemed to be a butterfly fluttering, and it was like a bouquet of flowers in the bush twisting her waist with the rhythm of the wind.
She was dressed in an emerald green gauze dress, rose-colored silk trousers, and a emerald silk scarf half-covering her face, like clouds half-covering the bright moon. Silver boots on his feet, and jeweled bells on his wrists, arms, and waists, the bewitching style is eye-catching.
She tiptoed to the sound of strings and drums in the Western Regions, and flew around, just afraid that she would fly with the wind, and her dancing was extremely light. The jade bells around her were also whirling, making a crisp and delicate sound while drinking the music.
After a dance, the pearl jade palace flower on the dancer's head is still trembling slightly, it seems that the song has an aftersound, and the dance also has the meaning of continuation, this wonderful dance has attracted everyone's applause.
If the fish and dragon performance just now made everyone exclaim fantasy, this dancer's Western Regions dance is to give people the most beautiful enjoyment.
The dancer gasped slightly, brushing her hand through the hair around her ear. Facing the lord, he bowed and said coquettishly: "The little girl's skills are clumsy, and I hope that the lord will forgive her sins." ”
She was so charming to the high lord that she couldn't figure it out.
"This person is the princess of the Western Regions." Still said in Minsa's ear.
The lord waved his hand to forgive her and got up: "Ethereal like light clouds covering the moon, flowing wind and snow, what is the crime?" ”
"If the little girl is innocent, can the lord allow her to have a drink with the little girl?" The princess of the Western Regions stood beautifully, knowing that the lord could not allow it.
The Lord drank it all with her, and everyone laughed.
Seeing that the lord had no intention of continuing, the princess of the Western Regions retired with a gloomy expression.
Such a stunner in the world, the lord of Yunling is not moved? Minsa thought in his heart, and couldn't help but praise in his mouth: "Who is comparable to such a dance." ”
"A better dance than this, I've seen it in Qingcheng." Still speaking, he raised his glass and took a sip, his eyes not looking at Minsa.
Minsa looked at the face that still didn't care at this time, thinking that the dance he was talking about was not the sword dance that he danced for Hu Yuan on the night of the full moon?
Although he pretended not to care, Minsa blushed with shame.
……
Since returning from the banquet of the Shangyuan Festival, the relationship between still Shu and Mingsa seems to be a lot closer, although they are still arguing, but both of them have a trace of affection in their hearts secretly rooted, which makes Mingsa, who was already preparing to leave Yanzhou, feel a little reluctant.
Under the support of Minsa, Tangyu's relationship with Binon is also increasing, he still ponders a small poem at every turn, asks Minsa to give it to the staff officer, and then dedicates it to Binon, every time Mingsa is soured by Tangyu's poem to goosebumps.
Just when the Champion Hou's Mansion was peaceful, a piece of bad news broke this piece of Qingning.
