Volume 12 The End of the Matter Chapter 9 The World Hidden Underneath
The cold winter of Chang'an City came exceptionally early, yesterday it seemed that it was still autumn high and cool, suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms, the vast snow will be decorated in Chang'an City overnight, the treetops of the city are all full of white and crystal snowflakes, and the eaves are also upside down with crystal ice edges. Overnight, the whole city turned into a cold winter. But Qujiang Pond in the southeast of Chang'an City has not stopped, and countless sons who are full of food and have nothing to do feel that in this snowy season, it is also a good thing to talk about life ideals with those delicate girls on Qujiang Pond.
In this world wrapped in snow, the painting boats on Qujiang Pond also seem to be sparse. On one of the unusually ornately decorated painting boats, the cold wind was blowing outside the ship, but the cabin was as warm as spring, and several small copper stoves were burning with vigorous coals. A delicate figure sat in the largest cabin above the boat, behind a small low table. In front of her, a piece of rice paper was spread out, and the snow-white paper was like endless snow in the distance. Neatly placed on the low table, the slender hand slightly pulled the hair on the forehead, and then stretched out the green jade fingers, and twisted a rabbit hair on the pen holder on the corner of the table. The bright red palace dress covered her bumpy body, but it couldn't cover any of her faces.
"The teacher personally enlightened the ......" slowly put down the pen, and the graceful and timeless fly-headed small block fell on the rice paper, and the delicate handwriting showed the talented temperament of this woman. Ten fingers are slender like onion roots, writing this letter stroke by stroke, but in her eyes that are like autumn water silhouettes, wisps of mist gradually emerge, although the whole person sits upright, but like the weak grass in the wind, the pear blossoms with the rain exude a pitiful temperament, which is really distressing. But she didn't pause in the slightest. She was still resolute in her writing, because she knew that if she stopped at this time, she would probably not be able to write again, and there was no longer enough Li Liang in her delicate body to support her to summon this courage again.
For a child who has been raised by her own teacher since she was a child, and has no father or mother, the closest person in the world is the master who raised her. But now to completely break off here, it still makes her heart like a knife, although in the end she brought back a talented disciple for the master, but this friendship is also completely broken with the little girl entering the sight of the master, from then on she is a 'free man', can follow that man to go all over the world.
A little teardrop fell onto the white and flawless rice paper, blurring her handwriting and making her feel even more sad. couldn't help sobbing, but I couldn't help but endure it for fear of being listened to by the teacher next door and the new junior sister.
The candle faded away. Time slipped away little by little, and the girl finally wrote down the words of parting, she said goodbye to her previous completely, sealed the written letter with tears stained with fire paint, and then put it on the table, turned around and kowtowed to the room next to it three times, and then got up silently for a long time, and then suddenly like a moth to a fire, a bright red robe fluttered. The whole person disappeared into the vast snowy night.
"Idiot, for love. For the sake of love, I hope your choice is right, but how many people are willing to kill the world in anger for the sake of a red face? Hopefully, when the day comes when you need to make a choice, that man won't let you down! Just after the girl left, a bewitching figure appeared in this room, watching the figure gradually disappear into a little red spot in the heavy snow. I couldn't help muttering. It seems to see through the impermanence of life and death in the world, and the vicissitudes of love and hatred, but they are full of earnest hope. She remembered the sturdy figure who chose to die in order to escape herself, and the one who was supposed to be their leader standing opposite them, but chose to kill the sword world. Just for the high-spirited general who has a woman with an inextricable background with the former Sui court.
"What, crying? It seems that I am still reluctant! On the shore of Qujiang Pond, on a small mound, the trees were all dressed in silver, Li Kuan stood under a pine tree, looked at the delicate figure rushing over, and couldn't help asking.
"Master, woo woo ......" The big red clothes were on her body, at this time there were a little snowflakes, and after the red sleeves saw Li Kuan, she couldn't help the sadness in her heart, that was where she grew up, where she had too many feelings, and now she wants to say goodbye completely, it is really painful. I just hope that the smart little girl who is like a demon can replace her and fulfill her teacher's wish. I just hope that when I see the letter I left, my teacher will not be too sad.
"Okay, people have to learn to bear these things, sometimes you have to pay the price when you grow up, maybe you think that the master and I are too ruthless to do this, but the connection between that place and the people in the palace is too deep, and I don't know if it is right or wrong to hand over that little girl to your master!" Li Kuan also doesn't know what the result of what he is doing now, Xiao Wu is the key moment to shape his character, at this time, the family has suffered a great change, so that her worldview has suddenly become extreme, and he even sent her to the same extreme red-sleeved teacher, will this little girl walk the road she has walked in history in the future?
But no matter what, Li Kuan still did it, and took Xiao Wu's mother and daughter into the Chu Palace, and gave them corresponding treatment. This is not a long-term solution, although Li Kuan doesn't care what others say, but the Yang family still has to live with face, which is more important than life for a family of four women who are orphans and widows. If it weren't for the extraordinary friendship between Li Kuan's grandfather Yin Kaishan and Wushi, maybe this stubborn woman would have taken her three daughters to directly reject Li Kuan's kindness.
In any case, Li Kuan still said that the Xiaowu family would take it home, and then persuaded the Yang family to send the Xiaowu girl here to learn dance skills.
Riding on the horse, taking the red-sleeved delicate body into his arms, and quietly letting the tear-stained girl snuggle up to his chest, Li Kuan let Chaiyun paced slowly, walking towards the Chu Wangfu in the east of Chang'an City. There are too many things in this world, and they are so coincidental, everything is like providence, when Li Kuan learned these news, he really couldn't help but sigh that history is really fucking fucked.
Because before this night, Li Kuan didn't know much about the situation of the Red Sleeves' division, and only knew that it was a hidden school hidden in the capital, but he couldn't remember which one actually recruited a woman from the wind and dust to pass on the Taoist lineage. But when he was waiting just now, he got the information that he had ordered to investigate in the past two days, and only then did he find that this school he didn't care about was actually a behemoth that was hidden very deeply, and it stretched its tentacles into the inner courtyard of the palace and reached to the heavens. And Xiao Wu has always been inextricably linked to this in history. Even if everything is back to square one, it is obvious that the experience of Xiao Wu, a little girl, has been rewritten, but it has been pushed to the side of those people she will inevitably meet. If this continues, Wu Zetian will still appear when he should appear! This can also be regarded as a correction of history, invisibly breaking back what has deviated.
The sound of horses' hooves accompanied by Li Kuan's imagination, gradually disappeared into the hibiscus garden, Li Kuan after this incident, completely found that there is an unknown world hidden under Chang'an City, or rather, the vast majority of Chang'an people will not know a world in their lives, an underground world where countless schools of thought are playing, and what identity is false here, because they are not accepted by the imperial court. Therefore, the people here all have their own ambitions, and all they want is how to make their school live in the sun completely, no longer suppressed by the imperial court like now, and cower in this secret place.
Originally, Li Kuan thought that creating a country in the Japanese slave country that was specially controlled by these hidden schools would allow these people to leave. But now it seems that all this has not achieved the result he wants: these people still want to stay in their homeland, not all schools like to go into exile, those schools that go to the Japanese slave country, in the eyes of these people who stay, are a group of losers, discarding their roots, no matter how strong and prosperous they are in the future, so what, the Taoism that has been passed down is all the Japanese slave people, how can they inherit the true essence of their doctrines?
So they are still fighting here, and they want to rise again in Chang'an, the most prosperous and critical city in the Tang Dynasty, so that everyone in the world knows that there are not only Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in this world, but also they can also make their own voices.
Just like the red-sleeved master, it belongs to a branch of the Yin and Yang family, but it has not been passed on, since the death of Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms period, the Tao of the Yin and Yang family in the world has been completely cut off. However, it could not stop the determination of these martyrs to give everything for their school. So generations of children of the Yin and Yang family, for an ethereal rumor, all used a tragic way to approach that one in 10,000 chance. According to legend, the inheritance treasures of the Yin and Yang family were not lost, but were passed on to his apprentice Jiang Wei by Wuhou Zhuge Liang. And Jiang Wei put this thing into the treasury of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period in the end. Finally, it flowed into the palace of the Jin Dynasty, and then this thing became a collection of the royal family, and finally fell to the palace of the Sui Dynasty, and is now locked in the deep palace of the Tang Dynasty.
For the sake of this legend, countless disciples of the Yin and Yang family entered the palace with great determination, and were willing to become eunuchs, just to bring out that inheritance treasure. In the same way, under the succession of these people, they formed their own powerful forces in the palace. (To be continued......)
