It was a good time to go up the mountain, and the long marble road was crowded with people.

The other way down the hill was empty, and there was not a single figure.

Mu Xue frowned and went over there.

"Female donor, the lotus road for mountaineering is over there, you are wrong."

A little novice has been guarding the foot of the mountain all the year round, and at this moment he saw Mu Xue coming, and saw that this elegant and beautiful girl was going up from this Baichuan road down the mountain, so he hurriedly walked over.

Mu Xue stopped her anxious pace, and smiled when she heard this: "There is no one on this Baichuan Road, why can't I go?" ”

"Female donor, this is the way down the mountain."

The little novice seemed to be still young, and had never met a girl who had to go down the mountain to the mountain.

Mu Xue chuckled, took a bunch of keys from his hand, and then opened the door by herself, and after opening the door, the key hung directly on it....

"Squeak....", Mu Xue pushed open the door, and then said to the little monk who looked dumbfounded: "Isn't the way up the mountain the road down the mountain, you little monk still don't understand, wait for you to have a story on you and come over to guard the door." ”

After closing the words, Mu Xue no longer paid attention to this ignorant little novice, and went up along this winding path.

The gold-plated key swayed, shining dazzlingly in the sun, and the little novice watched wordlessly as the woman in white gauze walked up the winding mountain road alone, looking lonely....

The retrograde road should be lonely, and a person enjoys the hardships of the journey and the loneliness of eternity.

The lotus road was crowded with people, and there was only one person on the Baichuan Road down the mountain, so it was naturally much more convenient for Mu Xue to walk, but she ignored one thing.

That was her left knee, her left knee was not fully recovered, and she was only halfway up the mountain road at the moment, and she felt that the muscles and bones inside her left knee had a dull pain, and every step of her foot would come from the pain like ants eating bone marrow.

The cold air of this midwinter inhaled into her lungs, Mu Xue looked at the long way to go, wrinkled her brows and endured the pain and continued to go up, but the speed had slowed down significantly.

Halfway through, you can already see the bright yellow glazed tiles between the towers and islands among the verdant pines and cypresses and silver firs, and they are even more radiant under the warm winter sun.

There was a long bell in my ears, and I could already faintly hear the voices of the people of Qingyun Temple, and then go up, and I could already smell the smell of sandalwood in the cold air in winter.

Sure enough, it is the National Temple, the pavilion and the attic are majestic and extraordinary, there is an endless stream of people going up the mountain from there, Mu Xue's knee hurts, the first thing after coming up is to find a place to sit, gently touching his left knee that has been slightly red and swollen, looking at the intersection from time to time, and I don't know if Brother Haifeng has arrived.

After waiting for a long time, she still didn't see Mu Haifeng's figure, she twisted her eyebrows, thinking that it was not the same thing to sit on this cold tuyere and wait for someone.

It took so long to go up the mountain, and she also had some hot sweat all over her body, and then she threw on the cold wind again, and she was cold all of a sudden.

She gathered her cloak on, and when her knees were a little more comfortable, she lifted her foot in the direction of the hall of life.

Originally, Mu Zhennan wanted to offer the ranking of Mu Haifeng's biological parents in the Mu family ancestral hall, but Mu Haifeng insisted on offering the ranking to this side when he grew up, and Mu Zhennan also followed him.

The front of the door of the hall of the dead is cold and cold, not as lively as other halls.

There didn't seem to be anyone in the dark hall, Mu Xue thought to herself that Brother Haifeng must not have come yet, so let's go in and wait for her.

There was a stall outside the hall selling fragrant flowers and candles, Mu Xue went over to buy something, and then went to the Hall of Life over there.

The fire in the hall was burning vigorously, and Mu Xue followed the impression in her memory, and walked to the row with a familiar car.

There are no new traces in the iron hole in front of the queue that is specially used to burn paper money, and sure enough, this person has not yet arrived.

Mu Xue took the incense just now, lit the three incense sticks in her hand with the candle burning in the hall, and then knelt on the yellow futon reverently, bowed respectfully six times to the ranking engraved with the names of Mu Haichao and Sanniang, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

As she did all this, she didn't see that someone was actually coming at the door.

Mu Haifeng's broad figure covered half of the door of the Hall of the Dead, and the light in the hall was much darker, and he stood in the shadows, so that people couldn't see his expression clearly.

He thought she wouldn't come, and he was lonely all afternoon.

But at this moment, he looked at the woman who was respectfully kowtowing in front of his parents' ranks, and the pain in his heart was even worse, he still missed such a beautiful woman after all.

She was dressed in white and Shengxue, plain and elegant, the man walked in slowly, until he reached behind her, Mu Xue then spoke: "You are here." ”

"Hmm."

The man whispered in response to her words, and knelt down on the yellow futon beside Mu Xue, who was wearing a moon-white robe today, similar to the color of her clothes, and anyone who looked at it could guess that these two were the right pair.

The two men put the sacrifice he had brought with them into the iron cave and set them up, and took the candles and lit them.

The firelight shone on the faces of the two people, and they were silent for a moment, Mu Haifeng took the lead in asking her: "I didn't see the carriage of the palace when I arrived at the foot of the mountain before, you came later than me, why did you arrive on the mountain before me?" ”

He thought that she had greeted the prince, and then came here in the carriage of the palace.

But he didn't think that this Mu Xue came here without telling everyone in the palace.

"When I arrived, it was when there were a lot of people, and I heard the coachman say that you had gone to Lotus Road, and I saw that the Lotus Road was crowded with people, so I walked up from Baichuan Road."

To put it mildly, in fact, her knees hurt so much that she couldn't do it.

Mu Xue didn't take off her clothes to see, thinking that Bacheng was already swollen, and she would have to rest for a while when she went back.

"You're from Baichuan Road? Isn't there someone guarding the door down there? ”

"The dumb monk said what to guard the door, the key was held in his hand, looking stupid, I took the key directly and opened the door and came up."

Mu Haifeng was silent for a while, looking at the outline of her side face, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was looking forward to it, and at the same time, he hated Zhao Xiangning.

But Zhao Xiangning and Mu Wanting have always been the wife and lady of the General's Mansion, he is just an adopted son, how to get out of this evil breath in his chest.

"What are you thinking?"

Mu Xue looked at him for a while, and then asked him.

In previous years, he was always so cheerful and sunny, every time he looked at her, his eyes were full of affection, and now that love was buried in his heart, and it was brewed with time, and finally became a glass of turbid wine.

"I thought you weren't coming this year."

Mu Xue chuckled, with some relief in her helplessness, and said slowly: "The dead are the greatest, although the prince is withdrawn, he is also a reasonable person, saying that he came up to the mountain to worship, how can he not let him go." Besides, I've been here for so many years, and if I don't come suddenly, my uncle and aunt will definitely be unhappy. ”

He brought a lot of fragrant flowers and candles, but there were times when they were burned.

When the paper money in this iron cave was burned, Mu Haifeng got up after kowtowing respectfully, and when he helped Mu Xue up, he noticed something abnormal.

He stared at her left knee and asked her suspiciously, "What's wrong with your leg?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Mu Xue lowered her head and pulled the corners of her lips unnaturally: "Maybe I've been kneeling for too long, and my legs are a little numb, it's okay, don't worry." ”

Although Mu Xue fooled him, but where is this Mu Haifeng so easy to fool, and Mu Xue's face is not good, going up the mountain is a physical work, and she should be ruddy when she is tired, but her face is like frost and paper, and she knows that it is not normal at a glance.

"Are you uncomfortable in your legs?"

"No, it's fine."

After saying these two sentences quickly, the woman was about to leave, but because she was too fast, she suddenly pulled the muscles and bones of her left knee, and her legs and feet were weak and she almost fell.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, this Mu Haifeng hugged the person in his arms with a brisk step, and the two of them were close at once, Mu Xue's originally pale face turned red all of a sudden, and she broke free unnaturally.

Not only her, but even Mu Haifeng was just as unnatural, seeing that she had broken free, she took her hand back in amazement.

"Hui An in this Qingyun Temple is quite proficient in medical skills, and he is also familiar with us, let's ask him to show you in the past, how about it?"

Mu Haifeng had already confirmed that Mu Xue's legs and feet were inconvenient, and insisted on taking her to Hui'an.

Mu Xue couldn't resist him, and the more he didn't show him, he would definitely be more suspicious.

Besides, I have to go down the mountain today, so it's better to apply some medicine, otherwise if I walk down the mountain again, my legs will be swollen into hooves.

But in this way, the injury on her leg cannot be hidden.

Hui An was not in his room, and only after asking did he know that Hui An was picking up a new batch of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and when he saw the two of them coming, and saw that Mu Haifeng was so tightly supporting people, he immediately teased: "Brother Haifeng, you really married the third lady as you said when you were young, when did you become a good thing, although I am a monk and can't eat wine, but why didn't you come to talk to me, we have known each other for ten years." ”

Ten years ago, Mu Haifeng offered the ranking of his own parents to this Qingyun Temple, and the three of them got to know each other.

He is on the mountain all the year round, and he doesn't know the situation under the mountain, but seeing that the two of them will come over together on the seventh day of the new year every ten years, he thought that he must be connected, but he didn't expect that his words would suddenly hit Mu Haifeng's heart.

He smiled bitterly and helped Mu Xue sit down.
