"It is said that during the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a student named Liang Shanbo in Henan Province, that year, he was as old as me, eighteen years old, farewell to his hometown to study in the distance, on the way, he met a woman named Zhu Yingtai, this Zhu Yingtai was dressed as a man, Liang Shanbo was honest and stupid, only knew that he was dedicated to studying, and he didn't care about anything, so he didn't realize that Zhu Yingtai was a daughter, when the two saw each other like the same interests, they worshiped as brothers on the spot, and then went to Hongluoshan Academy to study together......"

The lights in Chang'an City are dim, and the voices of people in Yanshoufang rise and fall.

The two walked side by side in the crowd, Li Xi told the story of Liang Zhu that he knew, and the eldest princess Yuzhen listened to it with relish, and even couldn't help but occasionally interrupt to ask about something she was interested in.

Before that, in his spare time, Li Xi had told this story to Wu Lan, and later told it to his little sister Zhou Yu, and after coming to Chang'an, he also told it to Lianlian and Miaomiao, two little girls, each of them listened to it with relish, such as Lianlian and Miaomiao, and in the end, they even couldn't help crying for the poignant love between Liang Zhu.

So Li Xi is naturally full of confidence in this story, and after so many times, he can already be sure that at least until now, there has never been such a story in this world.

In fact, the story is poignant and charming, but it is not complicated to say, but like all love stories, there are some places that need to be rendered by people to taste. So Li Xi talked about the eighteen send-offs - "At that time, Liang Shanbo was like me, stupid, I had been getting along day and night for three years, and I couldn't see that the other person was a girl, and he only regarded it as a goodbye between friends, so he ......"

Hearing this, Princess Yuzhen sneered, couldn't help but look at Li Xi, and said, "I didn't see where you can compare with Liang Shanbo, I don't believe you stupid." ”

Although she is already thirty years old, her smile is sweet and tight, and her eyes are extremely clear, as if there is not only a smile in it, but also the starlight and candles in the city are also reflected in her eyes. After just one glance, people can't help but want to shake off the starlight.

In the crowded street market, Li Xi stood and looked at her fixedly.

Princess Yuzhen finally sensed that something was wrong, he raised his hand in panic and swept his temples, and quickly turned his head away, his voice suddenly became a little dry, and asked, "That...... And then what? ”

"Ah...... And then...... If you keep talking, I'm afraid you'll be in tears. After waking up, Li Xi said.

Yuzhen lowered his head, smiled gently, and shook his head, "No, you can say it." ”

"Are you sure you really want to listen?" Li Xi deliberately made a startled look.

Yuzhen looked at him with a smile, "I really haven't heard this story before, if you want to listen, you can tell it." ”

Then, naturally, Liangshan Bode was very regretful, so he took the butterfly jade fan left by Zhu Yingtai and fell to Zhu's house to ask for marriage, but he was rejected, and he couldn't afford to be sick after he went back. Then, Zhu Yingtai was forced to marry a horse boy, Zhu Yingtai got on the sedan chair, just passed in front of Liang Shanbo's grave, Zhu Yingtai got off the sedan chair to worship, but because of excessive grief, he died there on the spot, and then he was buried next to Liang Shanbo's tomb. This is the most original book.。

But when Li Xi talked about it, the ending was different, and he naturally had to follow the principle of maximizing rendering - "Zhu Yingtai mourned and cried, and at that time, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning were great, and the grave burst, then Zhu Yingtai saw this, and jumped into the tomb, the tomb was reunited, the wind stopped raining, and the rainbow hung high." Since then, Liang Zhu and the others have turned into butterflies and danced in the world......"

After a long time, the eldest princess of Yuzhen let out a soft breath.

"Heaven is good, and sincerity is beautiful!"

Li Xi smiled, "Sure enough, I didn't cry, I was strong enough." ”

Yu Zhen smiled when he heard this, "It's just listening to the story, why do you cry when you know it's a story?" ”

"But even though I know it's a story, there will still be a lot of people who listen to the story who are moved to tears!"

"That's if you're not touching enough!"

"It's obviously your hard-heartedness!"

As they spoke, they both laughed slowly.

The atmosphere became inexplicably comfortable, even if Princess Yuzhen felt extremely surprised by her words and deeds at this time, she still felt extremely comfortable, and there was a faint panic in her heart, but she was still reluctant to destroy this feeling.

It seems that he has never been so relaxed and wanton in the past thirty years, he dares to say anything, he looks unscrupulous, he is not afraid of offending people, nor is he afraid of being offended, but he seems to be a good friend for many years.

No, even friends for many years are difficult to get close to this level of fluidity.

But she and Li Xi have only known each other for one afternoon, most of them are more than a dozen people sitting together drinking and chatting about pornography, and the younger half is that he is drunk and lying there sleeping, holding his hand and shouting another woman's name in his dream.

It's just that in the face of suddenly becoming like this, although I will be a little flustered, but more, I still enjoy it.

So the two of them continued to walk on, passing by a rouge gouache shop - of course, there were also a lot of shoddy ornaments on the stall at the corner of the street - Li Xi stopped suddenly, walked over and picked up a golden hairpin painted with gold paint and jade from the stall. The thing looked very rough at first glance, so I had to take it to a village woman who had never seen the world, but after Li Xi asked the price, he took out a few dollars from his pocket and handed it over, and bought it.

The eldest princess of Yuzhen was surprised from the sidelines, and she was thinking that with Li Xi's knowledge and realm, her taste would not be bad to this level, even if she wanted to buy something for the people in her room, she would never buy such cheap goods. But before she could figure out what was going on, Li Xi's next action was even more surprising.

He took the golden hairpin and walked back into the darkness from the candlelight, squinted at her for a long time, and then suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the wooden hairpin on her head that was holding the Taoist bun, and then inserted the cheesy golden hairpin in his hand, the wooden hairpin was in his hand, looking at Princess Yuzhen's shocked appearance, he laughed hesitantly.

Nodding, he looked very proud, "Not bad, it's good-looking." ”

Princess Yuzhen couldn't cry or laugh, and pulled out the so-called golden hairpin that was so fake that it couldn't be faked anymore, "Where is there such an unreasonable person, you return my wooden hairpin to me, I don't want this thing of yours, it's ugly." ”

"Leave this to me, I want to keep a little of your stuff around."

From extreme movement to extreme quietness, from frolicking to sadness, it seems that it is only a moment, and Li Xi has completed the transformation smoothly.

Princess Yuzhen was stunned again.

In the darkness, Li Xi's eyes were as dark as paint, and he looked straight over, so that people didn't want to dodge, and couldn't help but want to look into the depths of his eyes, but those eyes were too bright, making people feel panicked just by looking at them.

Yu Zhen lowered his head, for such a request, he somehow couldn't refuse it. So she said: "Where are you asking for something like this, it's clearly robbing." As she spoke, her own hand was slightly retracted, and she held the golden hairpin that she felt extremely hateful just now tightly in her hand, neither inserting it back nor returning it to Li Xi, but just turned her head and walked forward again, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence that the wooden hairpin she had used for more than ten years had been given to Li Xi.

Li Xi caught up a few steps, and the two continued to silently look at the street scene and walked forward.

"Is it fun to be a Taoist priest?" He asked suddenly.

"This is the question...... We don't cultivate the Tao for fun, the way of heaven is ethereal, where is the kung fu for fun? She asked rhetorically.

Li Xi pursed his lips with a look of disdain, "I don't believe it, you are also a cultivator, but you drink all day long, compose poems, read books, and meet friends, isn't this fun?" Heaven is ethereal, I don't see how hard you try! ”

Yu Zhen smiled and turned his head to look at him, "You've only known me for a few days?" When I was surveying, did you see it? I've never seen anything, and I just say something like this here, and I don't know how to blush......"

Li Xi also smiled, "Then another day, when you study the scriptures, let people call me, I want to see how you study the way of heaven." ”

Yuzhen turned his head and ignored him, "I won't tell you, if you are watching from the sidelines, you will definitely make trouble, where do you still have the heart to investigate the scriptures." ”

The two laughed and walked towards the end of the street.

This is the pattern of Chang'an City, there are more than 100 squares in the city, each of which has four gates and walls, which can be closed at any time. Li Xi and Yuzhen have already walked to the easternmost part of this square, and they can be seen in the distance in front of them, and when they go out of the gate, they are Suzaku Street.

Stand in this place, look ahead, the lights are shining, and look back, the lights are shining.

Only here, the voices of people are getting farther away, the lights are alienated, and only the starlight in the sky is sprinkled down, and the shadows are sufficient.

As if they had a clear mind, the two people stopped and stood there face to face.

Li Xi played with the wooden hairpin in his sleeve and said: "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai sent each other eighteenth, but until the end, Liang Shanbo didn't understand Zhu Yingtai's intentions, it's a pity." ”

Hearing this, it seems that all the smoothness and comfort just now were suddenly taken away by Li Xi, making people fall back into reality unconsciously.

Princess Yuzhen intuitively felt that her heart was pounding, her tongue was a little dry, and she couldn't help but ask herself, did he want to tell me something? Or, is he taking Liang Zhu and the two, than him and me?

Around this time, no matter who it is, there will always be cranky thoughts all of a sudden, and Princess Yuzhen is no exception.

Although she has been cultivating for many years and her body and mind are pure, it seems that it only took one afternoon for Li Xi to pull her back from the fairy world to mortal dust.

So when Li Xi talked about a love story in a frustrated voice, she said it indifferently, in fact, her heart was already miserable, when Li Xi took an ugly golden hairpin for her wooden hairpin, just one sentence, it made her seem to complain, but in fact, there was a faint joy in her heart, when Li Xi mentioned the eighteen send-off that seemed to be quite a pun, she couldn't help but pound in her heart, both afraid and ashamed, but couldn't help but want to look forward to something, It's just that I don't want to admit some kind of depravity in my heart.

At this time, Li Xi looked up at the starry sky and said, "Sometimes I actually want to cultivate, but there are too many things I like in this world, power, beauty, and money...... I don't want to throw it away, I think that if I become a monk, my woman may be held in the arms of others, and I am so uncomfortable that I die, I am such a person with a strong desire for domination......"

It was another inexplicable passage, but in the ears of Princess Yuzhen, she felt that these two passages were not abrupt at all, and her heartbeat became more and more hot for a while, and even the palm holding the golden hairpin was unconsciously tired of a layer of sweat.

Li Xi stopped talking, and she also held her breath.

It seems that he knows what Li Xi is going to do next and what to say, he is a little afraid and a little expectant, and finally he is reluctant to run away, so he simply coaxes himself: he just told a good love story, he has been cultivating for many years, how can he not even have these concentrations?

Suddenly, Li Xi withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at her, picked up the wooden hairpin in his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and laughed slowly, "Let's go, senior sister." Thank you for sending me here. ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped, but at the same time, there was a touch of disappointment rippling in his heart: how could he leave so soon?

In his thoughts, he saw Li Xi clapping his hands in a trance, and then a carriage came over, and then he waved at him, got into the carriage, and the horse's hooves sounded and faded away.

It was a long time before Yu Zhen came to his senses, turned his head to look after the carriage, and seemed to see him waving to himself with the window open--with a bit of a playful scoundrel.

How's that, I'm surprising you again, right? -- This may be what he is proud of.

After being stunned for a long time, Princess Yuzhen suddenly laughed.

This guy, he calls me Senior Sister?

Stroking the shoddy golden hairpin in her hand, she became more and more brilliant, "It's really shameless, if my master knew that he had such a disciple, I was afraid that he would be half angry?" ”

The carriage had to go to the front, and the coachman and a little dao boy jumped out of the car at the same time, looking at the eldest princess Yuzhen with a bright smile in surprise, and then the little dao boy asked, "Your Highness, shall we go back?" ”

She nodded, "Go back." Then he put the golden hairpin in the bun on the top of his head, and ignored the carriage beside him, but walked back on his own.

The night wind was blowing and it was cool.

Walking in the night breeze, the clothes are flying, and the wide apricot yellow robe dances with the wind.

The night market seems to be gradually becoming lively, just now on the road he felt that the prosperity of the night market is not inferior to Bai said, he laughed at it, saying that this is the beginning, now it seems, sure enough, he said well, this is the beginning.

There are more and more pedestrians, and there are gorgeous clusters of cars and horses, but more are ordinary people in ordinary clothes who come out to hang out after dinner, and they are not going to buy things, or they may encounter things that are itchy at a good price, and they will pay for them back.

There are more and more lanterns, and the people pushing the carts are like flowing stars, shuttling up and down the market.

Breathing in the distant breath of the world around her, she walked back along the road the two had walked all the way, and seemed to hear the barking of dogs in the deep alleys in the depths of the poem.

Where the lights are dim, the world is bitter.

"Master is right, the way of heaven is humanity, and the principle of heaven is the reason of man." She muttered.

With a faint smile on his face, the lights are distant.
