Chapter 22: Loneliness in the World (2)
The sky is wasted and the earth is old, and the sea is dry and rotten...... The sweetness of love lies in the fact that it burns your sanity.
So when Ning Yan sat in the Tianyi Water Pavilion, her mind was a little clearer. Then he was shocked.
"What should I do, Qingluan, they are still in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."
The man in white sitting on the other side of the round table smiled while boiling tea: "I finally remembered, it's not too late." ”
Ning Yan relaxed a little and glared at him: "It's not that someone is to blame. ”
Gu Mingxuan shook his head: "Qingluan has been by your side for a long time, it is needless to say that she is loyal, and it is time to let her be alone." I've asked Luo Hua to send her a message, and the rest depends on what she can do. ”
"Qingluan's personality is straightforward and innocent, I'm afraid of ......"
"Taste it." He brought a cup of freshly brewed tea and put it in front of her, "As a superior person, you must not only know people, but also be able to use people." Don't always try to keep her under your wings, but let her have the wings to soar for nine days. You don't have to come forward in person for many things, and you don't have to ask about everything one by one, aren't you tired? ”
He took the white porcelain blue and white cup and sniffed it carefully under his nose and took a sip.
As he spoke, there was movement outside the Water Pavilion.
Lu Li's voice came from outside the door: "Mountain Lord, Ling Lord, Qingluan has returned." ”
Gu Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and said slowly: "Let her go down and rest first today!" ”
Ning Yan didn't drink a cup of tea, just played around in her hand. After thinking about it, he was puzzled: "Did you know that Yun Xiu was back?" ”
"Yes." He nodded, looked up and asked her, "Do you remember the legend we heard in Xiliang back then?" ”
"Legends?" She held her cheek in one hand and fiddled with the flickering lights and candles on the table with the other. I thought about it for a long time before I remembered: "Is it the one who said the high priest of Xiliang?" ”
The man on the other side smiled, but there was a hint of murder in his eyes.
The people of Xiliang Wu believe in witch gods, believe in red ghosts to return to the sun, and believe in passionflower to summon spirits. After the death of the previous high priest, there was a very grand sacrifice to elect the new high priest. The dead are buried in Luojia Sacred Mountain, and the corpses are soaked in a pool of blood made of the blood of 500 people to keep their faces forever, and it is said that this passionflower is the flower that blooms in the pool of blood. According to legend, every 500 years, the son of the witch god will awaken in the Luojia Divine Mountain, descend on the earth, and overturn the world.
"I don't know what happened five hundred years ago, but now it seems that this legend is about to be fulfilled." He sneered.
"Cloud Repair...... Maybe it's the awakened son of the witch god? ”
"It's just speculation, but Yun Xiu is definitely not here just for revenge. And you, Aning, didn't do anything wrong back then, so there is no need to back down. Do you have what you have to do? He habitually touched her soft green silk again.
Ning Yan nodded, but her eyes were already a little blurred.
"Ah Xuan, I'm sleepy."
Gu Mingxuan smiled helplessly: "Come here." ”
Ning Yan staggered over to him and put it on his lap and hugged his neck tightly. Gu Mingxuan kissed her eyebrows and said softly, "Sleep." Then he put the heavy blanket on his knees over her body, and his brow was full of tenderness.
A lamp like a bean, shining on a pair of lovers who are clinging to each other, also warms the world.
And outside the wind and snow in the Broken Leaf Xuan, the two of them on the mirror lake were tense. One person is dressed in red like fire, and the other is like ink and green silk flying in the wind, adding a bit of poignancy. And the man opposite him was dressed in black, and his handsome face was not at all cynical as before.
Both of them were lucky, and they stood tall. Under the abundance of true qi, not a single snowflake fell on his body.
"What are you doing? Do you really want to disturb the mountain lord and make him angry before you are willing? Fire Sakura, Luohua is coming back! The baby-faced man in Tsing Yi next to Jinghu said angrily.
"Lord Lu Li." Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind him.
Lu Li was taken aback, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, he was really sorry for the name of Gui Lan's seven killings, and people didn't notice it when they walked behind him.
He looked back and smiled: "It turned out to be Sister Qingluan?" What's wrong? Ay...... This scene is too bloody for the girl's family to watch, so let's go back and rest......"
As soon as he opened the folding fan, he blocked it in front of Qingluan's eyes.
Qingluan raised his hand and pushed the fan away, and asked blankly, "Luohua...... Do you like princesses......" Her face was a little pale, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because she suddenly learned the truth.
Lu Li touched his nose and said, "Actually...... Sister Qingluan, you don't have to be sad, the Lord is the person who is the master of the mountain. You can still like Luohua......"
A smile tugged at Qingluan's pale face, and then slowly turned around and walked away. The figure was thin and weak, fluttering like a lonely soul helpless, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Lu Li shook his head and sighed, a few families were happy and a few were sad. The word love has always hurt others and oneself. It's better to be yourself, the lonely people come and go freely, and there are no ties.
Somehow, on the way back, Lu Li suddenly remembered a little nun he had met.
At that time, he had not been out of school for a long time, and he had not yet joined Guilanshan, and he was floating alone on the rivers and lakes. Before meeting Ning Yan, he met a little nun.
In March, the horses are beaten and the whip is raised. In the city of Yangzhou, I met the red face for the first time. It's just an old-fashioned book of heroes saving beauty, but it has kept him hidden in his heart and is unforgettable. He'd never seen anything so watery and clear...... Little nun. Xu Yes, the ancient Buddha has been with the green lantern for too long, and there is an atmosphere that is not stained with dust, which makes people forget the vulgar when they see it.
The little nun did not know anything about the world and regarded him as a good person. But until then, he didn't understand what good and bad looked like.
What is good? What is bad? When he was hungry and full, he was beaten all over his body and bruised, and he never thought of being a good person, even after learning kung fu later, he disdained to be a good person after being used to seeing the world and people's hearts.
But that day, he, who had always been idle and didn't care about things, actually saved her by magic. When they parted, the little nun gave him a string of Buddhist beads, which he always wore on his body. But that's about it, he never saw her again.
The ancient nunnery outside the world, fireworks and red dust, many fates are so short that they pass by. Standing under a white plum tree, the snowflakes fell all over his body little by little, but he fanned the fan unconsciously, and his eyes were full of loneliness.
A "buzz" sound came from overhead, and Lu Li's thoughts suddenly pulled back, it was the sound of broken tiles.
"Who's up there?" He stared at him, then rolled over and jumped onto the roof with a folding fan. I saw a purple shadow passing not far away, and a few vertical leaps had already crossed the mirror lake and approached the Tianyi Water Pavilion. He followed closely, and halfway through, Luo Hua and Huo Sakura also jumped onto the roof at the same time, chasing after the purple-clothed man.
The figure of the man was erratic, his steps were strange, and he left Lu Li and the others behind in a few steps. The wind and snow were blowing, and another strong wind blew, blowing the snow all over the sky, and the man disappeared on the roof in a flash.
"It's gone!" Huo Sakura stopped, she was more light than Luo Hua, so the moment she heard the movement, she broke away from the battle and rushed over.
Then Luo Hua snorted coldly: "This person's martial arts are unusual, not as good as ordinary Central Plains Kung Fu." ”
Lu was already far away, so he arrived at this moment, and looked at the direction with his eyebrows.
"Tianyi Water Pavilion!"
