The moonlight dissolved, Xiao Yiran sat alone in front of the window, thinking of Lin Chen for a while, and thinking of the small courtyard in Taicang County for a while. Gradually, my mind traveled back in time and space to the university of the first life.

Since he met Lin Chen, he gradually had Lin Chen's shadow in his heart, and Xiao Yiran rarely recalled his past two lives. Tonight, I remembered it again. Xiao Yiran was thinking, I don't know if the time and space of the two places are related. If the normal time passes, from being reborn in the ancient period to the present, more than thirty years have passed, and the students of that year should be fifty or sixty years old. Suddenly, Xiao Yiran thought of Han Qi, his lover in that life.

"Han Qi, are you okay?"

Xiao Yiran asked silently in his heart.

I thought about Han Qi for a while, and then thought of my twenty-four men in the ancient period. Both civil and military, the universe is Qiankun, the flying dragon is in the sky, the east and the west, the north and the south, Fu Lushou, the sun, the moon and the stars, as well as Wei Liang and Li Yu. The bits and pieces of living with twenty-four people all came to Xiao Yiran's heart for a while. followed by his two sons and three daughters, Xiao Ming, Xiao Yue, Xiao Xin, Xiao Jun, and Xiao Lin. Xiao Yiran couldn't even tell what he felt in his heart at this time.

After meditating for a long time, Xiao Yiran remembered the twelve poems he got in his dream when he visited the Xuannu Niangniang Temple in Huashan for the first time. Remember that there are two sentences in it:

The three heroes compete for a daughter,

Cleanliness can be taken care of.

Xiao Yiran silently recited on both sides, three masters, only which three masters? Zhao Heng counts as one, Lin Chen also counts as one, so what about the other one? Will you meet an outstanding person of this period in the future? Xiao Yiran smiled bitterly and shook his head vigorously. I was thinking in my heart, but I must not let myself experience an emotional entanglement similar to Lin Chen again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiran remembered that he went to Wutai Mountain twice and gave the ode to Master Yuantong. The first time, there were only sixteen words, "There are comings and goings, not today or yesterday." Accompanied by the sun and the moon, Qin Huai ends himself. Xiao Yiran can basically understand the first two sentences, there is an afterlife, there is a past life, between life and death, time will always pass. As for the last two sentences, Xiao Yiran doesn't understand what they mean now. The second time was the day when Master Yuantong passed away, he was awakened by the bell in the temple at night, and when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain in the morning, Xiao Shami was already waiting there, and handed Master Yuantong's message to Xiao Yiran. There are only four sentences and twenty-eight characters. "Fate comes and goes, like clouds and smoke in front of you. The flowers in the mirror are shadowed by the moon in the water, and the road is in vain at the end. ”

Judging from the recent entanglement with Lin Chen and Zhao Heng, Master Yuantong's dying words seem to be related to this. In the song, the master has clearly told himself that neither Lin Chen nor Zhao Heng is the fate of his own life.

"Could it be because there are too many men in the ancient world and they enjoy too much love between men and women, so the genius punishes himself and lets himself end up alone in this life?"

Xiao Yiran couldn't help but guess in his heart.

Looking up, he saw that the crescent moon in the sky was already west, although he was not sleepy, but because of the bumps of the day, Xiao Yiran felt that his body was a little sore, so he undressed and went to bed, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

In the next period of time, according to the pre-determined route, I will stay overnight all the way, visit the mountains and rivers, and come to the boundary of Anyang in a few days. Stop for a while, rest for two days, and set off for Xiangyang again. Because Xiangyang is the hometown of the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran, Xiao Yiran deliberately lived in Xiangyang for a few more days. I was even in the mood to take a look at Lumen Mountain, where Meng Haoran lived in seclusion.

Because of the nostalgia of Meng Haoran, later generations engraved Meng Haoran's popular song "Song of Returning to Lumen at Night" on the stone wall of the valley at the mouth of the valley.

The bell of the mountain temple is already dark, and the fishing beam ferry is noisy.

People followed the sand bank to Jiangcun, and Yu also returned to Lumen by boat.

The moon shines on the smoke tree in Lumen, and suddenly arrives at the hidden place of Pang Gong.

The pine path of the rock is long and lonely, and only the ghost comes and goes.

Xiao Yiran recited Meng Haoran's poem softly, and the meaning of retreat rose leisurely in his heart. However, looking down at her body, but a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, if she really wants to go into hiding, not to mention her parents, she is only talked about by the world, and she is afraid that she can't stand it, so she has to smile bitterly and turn away.

After leaving Xiangyang, he soon came to Hankou, on the bank of the Yangtze River. I remember that the Yellow Crane Tower is on the peak of Wuchang Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Xiao Yiran wanted to go and see it. Come to the Yellow Crane Tower, see the tourists weaving, lively and extraordinary. Xiao Yiran didn't like such a downtown area, so he didn't go upstairs, so he let Xiao Qing drive away. just silently recited Cui Hao's seven-word poem in his heart.

After Wuchang turned and went east, soon came to Jiujiang, under the Lushan Mountain. Xiao Yiran remembered that Bai Juyi's pipa line was written on the basin river, a tributary of the Jiujiang River. It's just a tiring saddle horse all the way, Xiao Yiran just thought about it, and didn't go on a tour.

Cross the Jiujiang River, continue to the east, soon come to the foot of the Yellow Mountain, look at the mountain, and enter Hangzhou three days later. Xiao Yiran stopped completely, found an inn called "Wanghu" by the West Lake, and lived in it.

That night, because he was worried about the delicacy of the vinegar fish in the West Lake that he had eaten in his first life, Xiao Yiran led Qingwen Musk Yue, as well as Xiao Qing Xiaoxi and his wife, led Xiao Yuesheng, still dressed as a little teenager, and came to the most famous restaurant "Deyue Lou" on the West Bank. Because a few people came a little late, there was no private room facing the lake on the second floor. I couldn't do it, so I had to ask for a private room at random.

When the dishes were ordered and waited for the dishes to be served, the rest of the dishes came up one after another, but the West Lake vinegar fish was not seen for a long time, Xiao Yiran was very puzzled, and waited for a while, several people were almost full, and they didn't see the West Lake vinegar fish on the table, Qingwen not only shouted loudly to the shopkeeper.

"Xiao Er, why hasn't the West Lake vinegar fish we wanted served yet?"

"Childe, don't blame, there are more guests today, and there are not enough fish to prepare. The shopkeeper is sending someone to buy it, and the son will wait a little longer, and it will be fine in a while. ”

"If you go to buy fish now, you can't catch them in the lake, right?"

"No, no, the villain will never dare to deceive the child."

"Go down, we'll wait."

Xiao Yiran didn't want Qingwen to be embarrassed by Xiao Er, so he sent Xiao Er away. After that, Qingwen still muttered for a long time. Xiao Er didn't work hard to get back, but this time he came up with a plate of West Lake vinegar fish.

"You just said you went buy fish, why did you get it ready so quickly?"

Qingwen asked reluctantly.

"Childe, forgive me, it's not made of the fish I bought. It was given to a few sons by a guest. ”

"Gave it to us? Who is it? It's not like someone else is eating the leftovers, is it? ”

"Put it down. Who gave it to us? ”

Xiao Yiran asked.

"The lord won't let him speak. We don't know who he is. ”

"What does it look like?"

Musk Moon asked suddenly.

"It's a handsome son, seventeen or eighteen years old."

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, and when he walked to the door of the private room, he turned around and said:

"A few sons use it slowly, and your accounts have also been settled by that master."

This made Xiao Yiran very puzzled. Let's not say that I don't know anyone in this area at all, even if there is, now I am in my own line, except for Xiaoxi and Xiao Qing who have no makeup, I and Qingwen Musk Yue are both dressed as boys, and they will not be recognized. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Xiaoxi and Xiao Qing with my eyes.

The two of them naturally understood what the young lady meant, and shook their heads at the same time, meaning that there was no one they were familiar with here.
