Bai Yutang was dragged away from the pile of nameless mounds by Zhanzhao and walked into the deep mountains and old forests.

Although Zhanzhao has never had a sense of direction, it is useless to have a sense of direction at this moment, because there is nothing around that can be used to distinguish direction. Even the sunlight is blocked by the strange dense forests and the narrow valley hinterland.

Bai Yutang was taken a few steps out by Zhanzhao and grabbed him, "Cat." ”

Zhan Zhao stopped and looked back, he couldn't see the graveyard anymore, he guess it was safe, right?

Bai Yutang found a clean stone to sit on, and by the way, dragged Zhanzhao to sit down beside him, and asked, "What's wrong with the iron coffin locked with chains?" ”

Zhan Zhao looked left and right and sighed.

Bai Yutang looked at him with a little puzzlement.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and looked at Bai Yutang, and then moved, as if he had found a more comfortable angle to sit down, one leg resting on the stone, and his shoulder leaning against Bai Yutang, "Let me tell you a story, I heard it when I was very young." ”

Bai Yutang was also in a similar posture to Zhanzhao, his hands were on the hilt of the long cloud knife, leaning on Zhanzhao, "What story?" ”

"When I was very young, I listened to Fushenghua." Zhan Zhao is secluded.

"How small?" Bai Yutang's focus always seemed to be related to Zhanzhao himself.

"As small as ...... After listening to that story, I understood what love is. Zhan Zhao smiled slightly.

Bai Yutang turned his head and looked at Zhanzhao's side face, "That's a very heartwarming story?" The current atmosphere doesn't seem to fit very well. ”

"Then do you listen?" Zhan Zhao asked rhetorically.

"Listen." Bai Yutang replied slowly, "I can't get out anyway." ”

Zhan Zhao began to say, "Funeral flowers were not in the funeral business before, he was born in an ordinary family, his father was a poor scholar, and he didn't teach him anything except to teach him to read. ”

Bai Yutang was slightly surprised, the funeral flower is famous, this person can be said to be the most mysterious and weird existence in the world, and some people say that he is a person who can communicate with the yin and yang worlds, how can he be born so ordinary?

"He doesn't have a surname himself, of course none of that matters, he himself doesn't remember what his real name is." Zhan Zhao continued, "When he was seven years old, his father died, and his mother wanted to remarry, but she couldn't take him with her, so she ...... Her mother was ruthless, took him into the woods, and threw him away. ”

Bai Yutang frowned slightly and shook his head.

Zhan Zhao continued, "After Fu Shenghua ate the last cake his mother made for him in the forest, he probably knew that his mother didn't want him anymore, so he felt that he couldn't live anymore. He remembered that when he was a child, he always heard an old woman at the entrance of the village say that when people die, they will go to the underworld and cross the Naihe Bridge to drink Meng Po soup, and the nine reincarnations will be reincarnated or something. ”

Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh.

So he thought, where is the underworld? Where to find Meng Po to drink soup and cross the Nai He Bridge? Can you cast a better tire in the next life? Zhan Zhao said, "So...... He began to dig into the ground. ”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao and asked, "He doesn't want to dig all the way to the Netherworld, right?" ”

Zhan Zhao shrugged slightly, "Is he only seven years old?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded and motioned for Zhanzhao to continue.

"He dug from dawn until dark, and then he fell." Zhan Zhao Road.

Bai Yutang was slightly surprised, "What does it mean to fall?" ”

"He suddenly dug through the floor and fell." Zhan Zhao said, "Sometimes it may be some kind of providence, the place he dug has a tunnel underground. ”

Bai Yutang became interested, "What about later?" What adventures did he have? ”

Zhan Zhao said, "He walked along the tunnel, thinking that he had reached the underworld, and when he reached the end of the tunnel, he saw a river and a bridge. ”

Bai Yutang wanted to laugh, "Didn't you really arrive at the bridge?" ”

He walked up to the bridge and found it to be an island leading to the middle of the lake. Zhan Zhao said, "He walked to the island. There are only two things on the island, one that looks like a torch or a lamp, and the other that ...... It's a big long and square platform. ”

Bai Yutang continued to listen.

He took out the fire fold and lit the tall lamp, and the whole room was lit up. Zhan Zhao said slowly, "He found that the platform turned out to be an open coffin. ”

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Did you fall into the tomb?" ”

Zhan Zhao said, "He pushed the lid of the coffin hard...... The lid slipped to the other side. ”

Bai Yutang was curious, "Who is in the coffin?" ”

"Nobody." Zhan Zhao said, "There is only one scroll of portraits. ”

"Portrait?" Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't a corpse or anything like that, so as not to frighten the young man.

"The funeral flower opens the scroll." Zhan Zhao raised his face and looked at the blue-black night between the gaps in the canopy, "On the picture scroll, there is a man. ”

Bai Yutang looks at Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao turned around and said seriously, "I've seen that portrait, and he has kept it." ”

"What's that guy like?" Bai Yutang asked.

"It's beautiful!" Zhan Zhao said seriously, "Really! It gives people a very young feeling, a very luxurious and elegant feeling, wearing black clothes, short black hair, and some don't look like Han people. The figure is very thin, with big eyes and thin lips, and it seems to be well-behaved and feels a little gloomy, so he should be a taciturn person. ”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "And then?" What does this portrait have to do with whether you understand love and love, and the coffins that were chained just now? ”

Zhan Zhao moved again, took out the remaining cloud cake and shared it with Bai Yutang, and continued, "Under the portrait, a long, long story is written. ”

Bai Yutang ate the cloud cake and listened carefully.

"It turns out that the person in the portrait is a very famous person!" Zhan Zhao smiled mysteriously.

Bai Yutang looked at him, "Who?" ”

Zhan Zhao asked, "Have you ever heard of the Toastor dynasty that stood side by side with the Eagle Dynasty, and the more north?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "I've heard my master mention ......"

"By the way, Tianzun knows those two people like my grandfather." Zhan Zhao touched his chin.

"Which two?"

"Hyun and Luo." Zhan Zhao Road.

Bai Yutang was surprised, "I heard my master mention it, he said that the Hyun clan is his friend, and the Luo clan is a bastard. ”

The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched, "My grandfather said the same thing, but ......"

"Historically, Luo was a great hero." Bai Yutang said, "The Hyun clan is a representative of evil, and the Mu Dynasty usurped the throne. ”

"The one on that portrait is Hyun." Zhan Zhao replied.

Bai Yutang was surprised, "Hyun passed away in his early twenties, and his life is short...... Historically, he fought and died fighting for the throne with the Luo clan, but my master kept saying that the Hyun clan was not interested in the throne in the first place. But every time he said this, he began to swear and scold Luo, saying that he deserved to regret it for the rest of his life. ”

Zhan Zhao snapped his fingers lightly, "Grandpa is a little calmer than Tianzun, he said that these two are kings in their bones, and the original brotherly dispute can be avoided, but it's a pity that the Luo clan was too stupid when he was young." ”

"What's going on exactly?" Bai Yutang was curious

"Hyun and Luo are half-brothers, right?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Everyone in the world says that the Hyun clan is jealous and good at conspiracy, but the Luo clan is a bright and upright hero...... Of course, I can't let my master hear this, he said that he is above board because a person is so stupid that he can't find any other merits, so he can make do with it. ”

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile, "I gossiped about that period of time very carefully, most of them were told to me by Fu Shenghua, and I forced my grandfather to tell some of them. ”

Bai Yutang listened with great interest.

"Hyun and Luo are brothers who grew up together, they have a very good relationship, they are two years apart, Luo is indeed mighty and heroic, all-rounder, very perfect, but young and frivolous, because almost invincible, so arrogant. Hyun has been weak since he was a child, and his martial arts are not very good, but he is very, very smart, and the two are almost inseparable. In the eyes of everyone, the Luo family is the prince, the Hyun family is the prince, and the relationship between the two brothers is also very good. ”

Bai Yutang nodded, "Then why would you turn against you later?" ”

"The brothers...... How can I say it, feelings are actually a little beyond brotherhood, don't you understand? Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow.

Bai Yutang was slightly surprised, "The brothers came to taboo?" ”

Zhanzhao spread his hands, "I heard my grandfather say that the problem is with Luo, when Hyun was sixteen years old, Luo's drunken spit out the truth, and when the two finally pierced the window paper, they were seen by their father." ”

The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, "This...... Your grandfather also unexpectedly gossiped. ”

Zhan Zhao smiled and continued, "So, the problem was raised, the old emperor separated the two brothers who had been inseparable, and he imprisoned the second Hyun clan. ”

"For what?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "The Luo clan is older, and he is the one who made the mistake." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "The old emperor has actually always disliked the Hyun clan, first, the Luo clan looks very similar to him, and he has the domineering spirit of a king, so he can inherit the throne." And Hyun's mother was robbed by the old emperor because she was beautiful, she was originally in love with the general, but the general was dead, so her father and mother saw that the emperor liked her and immediately sent her to the palace. But Hyun was born less than a month ago, and he doesn't look like the Luo family and the old emperor at all, so there is a legend that Hyun is not a real prince, and many of you don't respect him very much. ”

Bai Yutang said, "It's not better not to be brothers, to be together openly." ”

"The old emperor locked up the Hyun family and only let him read, and one pass was four years, from sixteen to twenty years old." Zhan Zhao said, "It wasn't until the Luo clan was engaged to a royal woman that the Hyun clan was released. ”

Bai Yutang frowned.

"After Hyun was released, Luo began to deliberately keep a distance from him, what happened four years ago, just treat it as young and ignorant......" Zhan Zhao said, "The two entered a strange and angry Mo, Hyun ignored Luo, and Luo deliberately fell in love with the princess in front of Hyun." ”

Bai Yutang smiled faintly and shook his head, "Childish." ”

Zhan Zhao continued, "Did your master tell you that the Luo clan and Tianzun had a fight? ”

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, "What are you doing?" ”

"The relationship between the Hyun clan and Tianzun is quite good, and the Luo clan has a request for the demon king, so the demon king took Tianzun and my grandfather to stay with them for a while. Hyun is smart and erudite, and he is very compatible with Tianzun, and the two may be a little too close, so Luo is jealous. ”

Bai Yutang sighed, "Deliberately, right?" ”

"Grandpa said yes, too." Zhanzhao smiled, "Grandpa said that Hyun is a rare smart person in the world, don't look at him as weak, but his personality is quite terrifying, in fact, he knows how to sneak out of the place where he was imprisoned, but he didn't come out." ”

"Oh?" Bai Yutang was surprised.

"Hyun is locked up in a palace, and although it is surrounded by mountains, there is actually a tunnel that leads to the outside. Both the Luo and Hyun clans know which tunnel is the Lu Dao, which is equivalent to the secret location where they used to play when they were children. The Luo clan was because he knew that this place could run out, so he didn't collide with the old emperor because of the fact that the Hyun clan was imprisoned. Zhan Zhao said, "He thinks that the Hyun clan will definitely sneak out, and the old emperor is not in good health, basically he doesn't leave the palace, the entire imperial city is the final say of the Luo clan, even if the Hyun clan runs out, no one will tell the old emperor." ”

When Bai Yutang heard this, he nodded, "But the Hyun clan didn't come out?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "He lived alone in it for four years, and the Luo clan sent someone to invite him and didn't come out, so the two didn't meet like this, and the road was clear, but neither of them went to find the other first." ”

Speaking of this, Zhanzhao asked Bai Yutang, "What do you think?" ”

"Hyun is out of self-esteem, between his life experience, he should have been very inferior and sensitive since he was a child. It's a pity that Luo is like an arrogant and ignorant child. Bai Yutang thought for a moment and asked, "What about after my master and Luo Shi fought?" ”

"The Luo clan naturally can't beat Tianzun, but my grandfather said that on that day, the Luo clan put the marriage with the princess that had been dragging on the agenda, and the entire imperial city began to prepare for the wedding." Zhan Zhao Road.

"And after that?" Bai Yutang suddenly had some ominous premonitions.

"The Hyun clan didn't say anything, he wooed the clan and began to grab the throne with the Luo clan, he was ruthless, he came for real." Zhan Zhao smiled bitterly, "The Luo clan was so miserable by him, and the most embarrassing Hyun clan found out his life experience, and it turned out that his father was really that general, and he died in the hands of the old emperor." ”

"So wonderful?" Bai Yutang asked, "My adoptive father has become an enemy who kills my father?" Is not the lover the son of the enemy? ”

"Hmm!" Zhanzhao nodded, "The Hyun clan deposed the crown prince, monopolized power, and killed the old emperor in anger, and became the object of spurning but feared by everyone in the imperial city. ”

Bai Yutang could hear it.

"I asked my grandfather if Hyun had ever loved Luo, and whether he wanted power in the first place, or did he have other purposes." Zhan Zhao said, "Grandpa said that the Hyun family is also a king by nature, this is nature, indelible!" He didn't fight, just because of the Elos. But how turbulent love is, betrayed and humiliated, and how turbulent is hate. When Hyun felt that Luo no longer loved him, he chose to break up and hate, and completely turned himself into a 'bad person'. ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "What about the Luo clan?" ”

"I've grown up." Zhan Zhao said, "After being driven down from the altar, I realized how naïve I was and how deep my love was, but it was too late, the two sides were already on the same footing, and the depth of hatred was irreparable. ”

Bai Yutang listened with his face up, "That battle was very famous back then, and later the Hyun clan was the losing side, and the Luo clan was the winning side, and the end of the war was hundreds of thousands of people celebrating the victory of the Luo clan, but according to what you said, at that time, the Luo clan's heart should be dripping blood, right?" ”

"Huh." Zhanzhao smiled bitterly, "The Hyun clan disappeared forever, and my grandfather didn't know where he went, but the demon king said that the Hyun clan was dead, and the end he gave himself was that there were no bones." ”

"Really dead?" Bai Yutang frowned, as if he felt a little pity.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"He didn't leave any message?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Nope!" Zhan Zhao shook his head, "A fire burned everything related to oneself and disappeared completely, as if it had never existed in this world, and there was not even anything left for the Luo clan to hang onto. ”

Bai Yutang shook his head, "Actually, the two of them are already crazy at the very least, right?" ”

"I think so." Zhanzhao was helpless, "Grandpa said that the original Luo clan was arrogant and annoying, but the Hyun clan made him grow up, and after the war, the Luo clan was mature and stable, as if he had been reborn, and he really became a perfect king, but ......"

"It's just that he can't be happy anymore?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Hmm!" Zhanzhao nodded, "All the ambitions of the Luo clan in his childhood have been realized, and the Hyun clan is a 'wicked person', the Luo clan has every reason to forget that he started over, his reason and the actual environment have made him do it, but he just can't do it." ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "The Luo clan also died young......

"He's spending the rest of his life looking for Hyun's traces." Zhan Zhao said, "The crypt where the funeral flower fell is actually in the valley where the Hyun family was imprisoned back then......

Bai Yutang suddenly understood and asked, "Is that the road that leads to the outside of the valley?" That was the road that changed the final fate of the two, and Luo must have regretted that he didn't go from that road to find Hyun. ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "The Luo clan put that picture there and built that tomb, in fact, he prepared it for himself. He hopes that Hyun will one day come back and die with him in this grave. Unfortunately, Hyun never returned, and Luo also encountered mudslides and landslides during a patrol...... Anyway, he died outside. ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "No wonder ......"

"I didn't know many words when I was a child, and after stumbling through it, I suddenly didn't want to die." Zhan Zhao said, "He walked out of the valley and was adopted by a businessman who went into the mountains to cut down trees. The businessman specialized in the coffin business, and he had no heirs, so he left the funeral flowers by his side...... Fusheng Hua grew up day by day, and he was very interested in all funeral-related things, and he also liked to dig graves in the world, and he accidentally dug for a lifetime. ”

Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Could he be a ......?"

"Although he is gloomy and weird character." Zhanzhao smiled, "But in fact, he is just shy, his greatest wish in life is that one day he can find the bones of Hyun and Luo and bury them back in the original valley." ”

Bai Yutang listened to it and didn't say anything.

"Why don't you ask what it has to do with those coffins?" Zhan Zhao asked, "This is related to the experience of burying the flowers later......

Before Zhanzhao finished speaking, Bai Yutang stretched out his slender finger and pressed it to his mouth, and gently "shh ”

Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Then what have you experienced?" ”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao, "You listened to this story when you were very young?" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"What about after listening?" Bai Yutang didn't seem to care about a few nameless mounds, nor did he care about the iron coffin, but asked Zhanzhao seriously, "If you were Luo, what would you do?" Or if you're Hyun, what would you do? ”

Zhan Zhao thought about it and shook his head, "It's really hard to say ...... this."

Bai Yutang listened quietly.

Zhan Zhao seemed to be a little emotional, "Anyone can be Luo's family, I don't understand it at all when I love, and I have done a lot of stupid things one after another." But when I understand, it's too late, and love is gone. But then again, not everyone is Hyun, but if there is no Hyun, the Luo family may not grow up for the rest of their lives, and they may still not be able to get together! Sometimes, it may be really when you can't be together that you realize how much you want to be together......"

Saying that, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "What about you?" What do you think? You say, will it be that for many people, love is the regret that after missing out, they want to start over, but they can't do anything about it? ”

Bai Yutang stared at Zhanzhao for a long time, didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Compared to Luo's naivety, Hyun's is extremely crazy, the world's evaluation is not wrong, why do masters and grandfathers help Hyun's and say that Luo's is a bastard?" ”

Zhan Zhao blinked, "Is this...... Actually, I also think that Luo is the initiator. ”

"When he should have said a word, he didn't say it." Bai Yutang said, "The anger of the Hyun clan is actually very humble, and it can be extinguished with one sentence. ”

Zhan Zhao leaned over and listened sideways.

Bai Yutang's lips were pressed to his ear and he whispered three words.

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhanzhao's eyes, and when he looked back, Bai Yutang's good-looking face was slightly sideways, and a kiss was sent gently. Fingers gently stroked the outline of Zhanzhao's neck, "If we can't be together, we can only end up separated." ”

Zhan Zhao listened quietly.

"So if you don't want to be separated, you have to ...... together"

Bai Yutang's words were not finished, and he had already received a tight hug from Zhanzhao, "Hmm! Together! ”
