Seeing that the New Year of the 31st year of the Liang calendar is coming, this New Year is very different for the people of the Liang Dynasty. Emperor Liang made an exception not to hold a New Year's celebration because of the loss of the crown prince, and banned folk dance and music for three months, which means that the people of the Liang Dynasty will spend the New Year in a deserted and even somewhat gunsmoke atmosphere.

Even though the taste of the New Year was diluted by the clouds of war, the heavenly prince still sent the snow on time, and after a heavy snowfall, the whole country was quietly covered in silver, looking peaceful and quiet.

He was going to leave the capital in two days, Xuan Shaoning had already experienced the bloodshed of the war, and he naturally hoped that this turmoil could finally turn into a jade silk, so the envoy of his friend Jiang Weizhen was a great hope for Xuan Shaoning to eliminate the war, before leaving, the two talked for a long time, and also thought about various possible situations, until Jiang Weizhen stepped on the carriage and left, Xuan Shaoning could only pray silently in his heart.

On the way back to Yuwang's Mansion, Xuan Shaoning took out the talisman that had been hidden in his arms, this was given to him by Princess Yunxuan before the last war, thinking of Yunxuan, Xuan Shaoning involuntarily stopped, changed directions, and decided to go to Tianfu Temple. Why did you suddenly make such a decision? Because after going back last time, he not only came back alive but also made meritorious contributions, is it the blessing of the Bodhisattva? Or is it for the sake of Jiang Weizhen's safety? Or is it to see her? But will she ever reappear?

Ay! Guess what! Xuan Shaoning scolded himself fiercely in his heart, just go and see if you know! Set his mind, Xuan Shaoning strode towards Tianfu Temple, even with good foot strength, but Tianfu Temple is far away after all, when Xuan Shaoning came to the foot of the temple, it was already evening, and the pilgrims had already begun to retreat. Without the hustle and bustle of the last time, his ears were much cleaner, Xuan Shaoning lit three pillars of incense and kowtowed three times.

"The Lord of the Buddha is above, and the good man Xuan Shaoning has three invitations here: first, please have peace in the world; Second, please return with your whole body; Three please ......" after the words were still unspoken, and the words came to my mouth several times but swallowed. Xuan Shaoning stood up from the pu mat, respectfully bowed again and left Tianfu Temple, looking around as he walked, but he didn't see the familiar goose-yellow figure.

"Once it's a chance encounter, how can you be so lucky every time?" After chatting to comfort, Xuan Shaoning bypassed the heavenly steps in front of the main hall of the temple, chose a fork in the road, and walked and came to the apse of Tianfu Temple, this apse does not have a Buddhist hall incense hermitage, but built an arch bridge according to the terrain, the steepness of the arch bridge makes it impossible to see the other side when standing on one side, and the towering uphill slope blocks all the scenery on the opposite side.

The arch bridge is made of blue and white mountain stones, and the railings on both sides of the arch bridge are wrapped in dense red silk threads, which looks like hundreds of earthworms are attached to it, making people unbearable to look at it closely. After this heavy snowfall, the snow white and fiery red of the arch bridge are even more vividly reflected with each other, so that those in it cannot ignore their existence at all.

There is a wooden sign at the head of the bridge on this side near Xuan Shaoning, which reads: Draw the bridge, and there is a small poem below the name of the bridge:

Fate is wonderful

The joint efforts of the human heart can win the sky

The red rope is dense and tens of turns

Each holds a marriage at its own end

The words of the poem are simple, and Xuan Shaoning understood the meaning after reading it: the two people who belong to the heart stand on both sides of the bridge, each holding a piece of red rope and walking to the middle of the bridge.

Xuan Shaoning smiled and said to himself: "It's just an accident, it's good to be able to get the same red rope, but how can two people who really love each other be separated because they have different red ropes?" Tianfu Temple really deserves to be a national temple, and it also made such a marriage bridge in this apse, no wonder the incense is vigorous. ”

Xuan Shaoning was about to lift his feet and leave, but found that the bridge was covered with a thick layer of snow, white and complete, obviously no one had ever stepped on it, and suddenly a thought flashed, why don't I try?

Xuan Shaoning paced to the edge of the bridge, stretched out his hand and picked out a thread from the clumps of red ropes, just held it in his hand, and couldn't help but knock on his head, "Oh, it's just me, even if I walk to the center of the bridge, what can I do!" ”

Letting go of the red rope, Xuan Shaoning turned around and left, but he didn't go a few steps and stopped, "It's still early, so what's wrong with being alone?" Since you're here, I'll try it, and there's no one around anyway, so no one will make fun of you! He made up his mind, turned back to the side of the bridge, picked up the red rope again, and walked step by step towards the center of the bridge, that is, the highest part of the arch bridge.

Xuan Shaoning gradually found that the "click" footsteps were not only coming from under his feet, but also a faint sound came from the opposite side of the bridge, and as he got closer and closer to the center of the bridge, the footsteps on the opposite side became clearer and clearer.

"There's someone on the other side!" As soon as he thought of this, Xuan Shaoning's originally calm heart began to ripple, some scared, some worried, and some expectant, who was on the other side? Who, like himself, also came to this bridge in the evening after such a snowfall, and also picked out a red rope from the bridge and walked towards the center of the bridge?

After judging that there was someone on the other side, Xuan Shaoning's every step became heavier and more cautious, and the sound of "click" became more harsh, and he also felt that the person on the other side also heard his footsteps, and the footsteps of that person became less refreshing and crisp than at the beginning.

After all, the bridge is not long, no matter how slow you go, there will be a moment when you reach the center. When Xuan Shaoning's right foot stepped on the snow on the bridge deck that no one had trampled on, he also saw the face of the person who came.

She was dressed in goose yellow, and her pale pink shawl could not hide the proud color of goose yellow in this white world; Her peach blossom eyes widened, and her watery eyes overflowed with surprise, surprise, joy, and relief. In fact, not only her, but he also had the same complicated expression opposite her, he wanted to speak several times but his lips trembled, and he tried several times to call out the other party's name.

"Princess Yunxuan?!"

"Captain Xuan?!"

After meeting, the two people were pleasantly surprised, and the first thought was to look at their hands holding the red rope, and the two of them slowly raised their hands, and their eyes were fixed on the two pieces of red rope that were originally separated, and after slowly pulling them, they revealed their complete true faces from a ball of red ropes. When the red rope covering this red rope fell, the red rope that was pulled by the two of them was finally completely exposed in each other's sight, and they were really pulling the same red rope!
