Chapter Ninety-Five: The Seventeenth Night of the Wind (II)
After coming out of Pear Flower Garden, what Xu An wanted to know most was what kind of dance that dance was.
The seventeenth night of the wind is the famous dance of Qiyu, but Qiyu said that he hopes that no one in the world can understand this dance anymore, Xu An is a little puzzled, but more admired.
It's like a doctor who survives by treating diseases and prescribing medicines, but he says that he hopes that no one in this world can find him to see a doctor anymore.
No one can understand that dance, will Qiyu still be the Oiran? The answer is no, but that's how she said it, if ordinary people and doctors say this, Xu An will naturally scoff, thinking that the person is cheap and good, but when Qiyu said this, he was full of truth, and Qiyu really never danced that dance again, which made Xu An choose to believe her words, so he would admire.
After Xu An returned to the capital, he was no longer as leisurely as he was in Sanhe Town, he had a lot of things to do, he hadn't been to the General's Mansion, he hadn't been to Beigong, and he hadn't returned to Yong'anju. Naturally, he went to the General's Mansion to ask Lin Ping about the 17th year of his return to Qing'an, and he didn't want to go back to Yong'anju.
The first thing to do now is to go back to the Spirit Academy first, Chang Geng and Ah Li are still waiting for him to introduce Mulanzhou, but Xu An feels that these can be put aside first, he still returned to the Spirit Academy, but he just stood by the lake, with his back against a big tree, and his eyes squinted slightly at the sun in the sky that was not so dazzling.
The snow by the lake has not yet melted, the ice has not thawed, and there is a slight cold air coming from the lake, but Xu An doesn't pay attention to this, he is waiting for someone.
"Who's looking for me?" shouted Zhang Cheng as he walked to the lake.
"Me. Xu An replied without replying.
"If you come to me next time you have something to do, we can go to the city, it's better to go to Pear Blossom Garden, I still have to go back to class after talking about things here." Zhang Cheng muttered a little complainingly and walked to Xu An's side, then patted the snow under his feet and sat down casually.
"So, you don't want to take classes at the Spirit Academy? Xu An said speechlessly.
"That's not possible, I don't dare to go home now, and I don't have much money to bring out, I still want to learn something, and I will ask for an official matter in this city in the future, and then my father will not be able to scold me again if I have an official body." Zhang Cheng replied.
"Ask you something, are you familiar with Pear Flower Garden?" Xu An didn't bother to pay attention to his things, and asked his own question directly.
Xu An and Zhang Cheng's friendship is not bad, they have done it for a bowl of soup in the city before, and the final result is undoubtedly that it is difficult for anyone in this city to make Xu An suffer. Later, after knowing Xu An's identity, Zhang Cheng didn't dare to hold grudges, and he couldn't be regarded as a non-acquaintance.
"You're right... Ahem... I'm a student of the Spirit Academy, how can I linger in that kind of land of wind and moon?" Zhang Cheng slapped his thigh when he heard Xu An's question, and sighed that Xu An was very good at finding the right person when he asked about things, but when he thought of yesterday's situation, he was afraid that Xu An was sent by the dean to set his own words, so he continued in a serious manner after the conversation changed.
"Seriously, I have something to ask you. ”
Zhang Cheng's serious answer became unserious in Xu An's opinion, and Xu An didn't bother to make fun of Zhang Cheng.
"What do you want to ask?" Zhang Cheng looked around cautiously, then got up and leaned over to Xu An's side and said.
"There is an Oiran in the Pear Flower Garden, called Shakuyu. ”
Xu An's best object to ask about things may be Chang Geng, there is a pervasive sect behind Chang Geng, but it is precisely because of the pervasiveness that it is difficult to cover all the details of things, so it is still necessary to ask professional people when asking people, and the things in the land of wind and moon are very professional in Xu An's opinion.
"That's it? Everybody knows that. Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously.
"I wonder how this shakutama girl became the Oiran of the Rika Garden. Xu An asked again.
"In the winter of the 15th year of Qing'an, when the ruler girl first came to Beiyang City, she danced in front of the door of the pear flower garden with the wind and snow, and it was because of this dance that the ruler girl is still in a stable position. Zhang Cheng raised his right hand and put it on his chest, puffed up his chest and looked at the lake in front of him, and said very confidently.
"Have you ever seen that dance?" Xu An asked.
"Xiaosheng is not talented, I am fortunate to have seen it. Zhang Cheng lowered his head and shook his head to look at Xu An and said with a smile, that look is how much he wants to be so sassy that Xu An can't help but kick him into the lake.
"You are far away in Liyang, and Qiyu is dancing in Beiyang City, how have you seen it?" Xu An swallowed his saliva and resisted the urge to kick him down.
"Have you forgotten what happened in Beiyang City in Qing'an 15 years?" Zhang Cheng reminded Xu An to ask.
"Just say it. Xu An said impatiently.
"In the 15th year of Qing'an, the second prince Xu Shi'an reached the early stage of psychic, and the dean of the spiritual academy, Mu Lanzhou, went out to seek a breakthrough, these two things attracted a lot of people to pour into this city, everyone came to Beiyang City first to see His Royal Highness's heroic appearance, and also to see if Dean Mu could enter the fugue that time, there is no doubt that I am also one of those people, and I happened to stay in Beiyang City that winter. ”
Xu An almost forgot about this incident, breaking through the psychic period at the age of 15, and the dean went out to seek a breakthrough in the fugue, both of which are major events, which will naturally attract a lot of people to come, and Zhang Cheng is known as the first cultivation genius in Liyang, and no one will be surprised to hear that these two things can come to Beiyang City.
"What's different about that dance?" Xu An nodded and asked.
"That dance is really different from ordinary dances, I didn't feel anything at the time, but I just felt that the girl was good-looking, so I watched it for a while, and now after sneaking out of the house and sleeping in the open, I understand more and more why everyone agrees with that dance. Zhang Cheng put away his smile and said with a slight sigh as he looked at the ice and snow on the lake.
Go on. ”
"This dance is called the Seventeen Nights of the Wind, with the wind as the dance, the heaven and the earth as the song, and the personal experience as the tune, no one can accompany it, and no one can dance with it. She is the only one who dances this dance, and she is the only one who dances. ”
"What is the explanation of this seventeenth night of the wind?"
"All year round, summer to autumn, the wind at night does not know how many forms change, if an ordinary woman can dance two or three kinds, it can be regarded as peerless, but this shakuyu girl can accurately dance as many as seventeen. ”
"The wind is formless, and there is no phase, how can there be as many as seventeen forms?" Xu An asked puzzled.
"The wind is invisible, and the so-called shape of the wind is perceived by the touch of external objects. You can understand it as change. Zhang Cheng explained.
Xu An nodded, this kind of thing is not difficult to understand, spiritual power is also intangible, but some strong people can perceive and even give it form through their own use, which is also consistent with Zhang Cheng's explanation. Xu An slowly stretched out his palm, feeling that the wind at this moment was a little cold, and the change in the shape of the wind at this moment was cold.
"It's just that why is it the night wind?" Xu An asked again.
"During the day, people in the world are troubled by many trivial things, and how can they carefully perceive these. In the dead of night, when the night breeze blows, some people who have no shelter can perceive these existence more clearly. The seventeenth night of the wind is a dance of misery and helplessness, a personal suffering, and the suffering of all beings. Zhang Cheng said with great feeling, looking at that appearance, he almost took out a handkerchief and wiped a handful of snot and tears.
Xu An couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhang Cheng, he was a little skeptical that there was a different person beside him, these words were really words that a gentleman like Zhang Cheng could say?
Xu An also stopped looking at Zhang Cheng, licked his lips and continued: "It seems that you have made great progress in the Spirit Academy, if you are homesick, go back." ”
"If I don't come out this time, I won't be able to understand this dance thoroughly, and my father will definitely scold me when I go back, so I'll stay in the Spirit Academy for the time being." Zhang Cheng said with a wry smile.
Although Zhang Cheng didn't think about studying, Xu An admitted that his progress was indeed great, and if he continued to stay in the Spirit Academy, his future would naturally be limitless, so Xu An didn't say anything to let him go back.
You go on. Xu An said.
"This dance of the jade girl contains the lightness of the wind, the softness of the wind, the beauty of the wind, the suddenness of the wind, the madness of the wind, the rhyme of the wind, the elegance of the wind, the rhythm of the wind, the arrogance of the wind, the smoothness of the wind, the warmth of the wind, the coldness of the wind, the slight of the wind, the pride of the wind, the subtlety of the wind, the wonder of the wind, and the majestic and inexhaustible momentum of the wind. Zhang Cheng snapped his fingers and counted them carefully.
"What a windy seventeen nights. Xu An looked at the lake and said with a chuckle.
"This Oiran girl is really amazing, she feels a lot of desolation for this wind and world, but she can see its beauty and dance beautifully, if she can marry her home, this life is worth it!" Zhang Cheng put the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand and patted it fiercely.
Xu An was speechless, when he heard the last sentence, Xu An reacted that he was really still him, no matter how much progress he made, the essence of the gentleman still couldn't change, and he said with a slight sigh: "Look at its beauty, dance its wonderful, in the end it's just a joy in suffering, I hope that no one in the world can understand the seventeenth night of the wind again, this sentence is really amazing." ”
It wasn't until this moment that Xu An really understood the meaning of Qi Yu's words. Zhang Cheng didn't understand it before, and Xu An believed that if there was a choice, Zhang Cheng wouldn't want to understand.
Because of suffering, we know that all living beings are suffering.
May no one in the world ever again understand the seventeen nights of the wind, what a great wish.
No matter how Xu An thinks about it, the conclusion he finally comes up with is a great thing, if Chang Wenjun said it, Xu An might think that it was a big pie drawn for the world in order to consolidate his rule, but this was said by Qi Yu, Qi Yu is very small compared to the lord of the country, but it is this insignificance that is even greater.
"May no one in the world be able to understand the seventeenth night of the wind again? If there is a choice, I really don't want to understand this dance, this sentence of Your Highness is very remarkable. Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and repeated, and then waved his hand at Xu An and said.
"You're mistaken, I didn't say that. Xu An shook his head and said, he admitted that he was not as good as Qiyu, he really didn't have such a great desire, but when he recalled his experience, he thought that he might be able to understand that dance.
"The man who said that was also remarkable. Zhang Cheng sighed.
"It's really remarkable. Xu An said with a soft sigh.
