Chapter 225: No more thinking about external affairs
"You're here too."
"I'm waiting for you."
He saw her standing in the doorway, and he didn't expect that he was a step too late. But it was very early, the sky was bright, and there were still a few stubborn stars hanging in the sky, trying to shine in the dark blue sky. But soon, daylight will eclipse them. The guards beside the women did not stop them, but they did not see them, and allowed them to enter the palace gate without showing any proof.
"Why are you still wearing this hat?" The woman lifted the black curtain in front of him and looked at his face, "At least one should be replaced." When was the brim scratched, there was a small hole, which was not beautiful enough. β
"There's no need, it's enough to block your eyes. Two months ago, I scared a child who cried, and things were very troublesome. β
The woman snorted and laughed. They entered the palace and went straight to the courtyard, where someone was waiting for them. The garden is full of orchids, most of them old, with strong rhizomes and firm grip on the soil. All kinds of orchids are colorful, and picking them out at random is money that many people have never seen in their lives.
The Heart Moon Palace Lord likes these. Now she seemed to be old, and her steps were faltering, and the rosy veil on her head covered her gray hair, but she still stubbornly cocked her two horns. Since more than ten years ago, there has been infighting in the twenty-eighth house. Some people sit for a long time, and their appetite for power grows, and they are prone to some crooked thoughts. The Son of Heaven is naturally not used to it, and people are not stupid, it is better to say that they are very smart. He only made a slight move in the power of this system, and then let the mess beneath him. Either how to say that it is the king of a country, the effect is naturally very significant. Xinyue Palace lives in the capital, and it is like walking on thin ice under the nose of the Son of Heaven. But the Son of Heaven likes it, because Xinyue Palace is obedient enough, shrewd enough, and easy enough to use. It's better to say that in other places that have been investigated and banned, there is still a knife from the Yuetai Master.
She stood in front of a bouquet of light purple orchids. When the maid reported that someone was coming, she waved her hand and told everyone to step back.
"Don't come unharmed." A slightly old voice came from under the rosy light veil.
"I've seen the Grand Master."
"The two impermanence adults are in the cold palace, and Yue is very honored."
"There's not much time, let's get straight to the point." The man in the hood said, "You know why we're here. β
"Hmm...... I think I know. Hongu found out that one day, I couldn't think of your name, so I expected the current scene. Recently, the Son of Heaven has not been in good health, and he has also reached the end of his life. I'm afraid that when the new emperor ascends the throne, my Heart Moon Palace will also be uprooted. If you come a little later, you may be connected to the expanded treasury. Fortunately, the emperor is a person who loves the qin, and he also borrowed your light and paid tribute to the five-stringed fairy qin, so that I would not be charged with a crime and thrown into prison, or swept out of the house. It's a pity that they didn't say anything to bring me a souvenir......"
"The dagger was meant for you." The woman said, "But you turned it in on your own." It seems that in order to avoid investigation and punishment, in order to show your attitude, you have also wasted a lot of effort. β
"I like that red bead......"
The man said lightly, "The magic weapons have already been distributed, and they are in the hands of the other six realms of impermanence. The red pearl is in the hands of Mao Yuejun, you can ask her if you have a chance. β
"Alas, decades later, you're still so boring."
"Don't talk like you know me well."
A few people went around in a big circle, but they still didn't get down to business. It's dawn. They walked up to a bridge and looked into the distance and could see two small pavilions. The water was empty, and only one small boat floated. In the past, there were large lotus leaves here, but it seems that they have been removed. Yue Baizhi stood by the bridge, silently staring at the water and sky.
"We have been trading with the south for many years, and it has not been very peaceful lately. The whole court revolved around the seriously ill emperor, and there was not much effort to take care of that side. Water thieves are rampant, but we can't take care of them. Two days ago, a fourth important member of the court was also killed. If you don't pay attention to this matter, I'm afraid it won't work. If you are impermanent......
"Liang Yue-kun has been ordered to negotiate." The man said, "The prince should be fine before he ascends the throne." β
"Liangyuejun...... "Yue Baizhi thought for a while, "I always feel like an acquaintance." β
The woman said, "You have seen it." β
Yue Baizhi nodded. Naturally, she is very well-informed and knows where and who is missing. Now that there is such a Xishu Wenxiang Liangyue Jun in the Six Realms of Impermanence, of course she knows the roots.
"If Miss Jun hadn't insisted on staying there...... I'm afraid that Liang Yuejun has never appeared now. Alas, it is a pity to say that I received a letter from the Emperor of the Dead Moon that year, and immediately wrote to the imperial court to send ships. But then, they quarreled again...... Some people won't let them go, and some of them really believe in impermanence and can't trust you; Others, when it comes to financial interests, do not agree. There are also people who try to go to school, and even more people are ordinary peopleβpeople whose families have not been heard from in the south. They put the letter on to the county government and were thrown aside at first. Later, the letters were stacked layer by layer, getting higher and higher, some of them were burned, some of them were pushed to the higher layers, and they were kicked up layer by layer, and finally they were piled up in front of the emperor's case......"
So the imperial court finally sent troops. Many ships sailed safely all the way to the Biluo Islands, where the enchantment no longer existed, and sailed towards the Nine Heavens. They divided into several routes, divided into several groups, and picked up a civilian, three Liudao impermanence, and a general with different people at different times and places. The general thought that his daughter had gone back, but there was none. His daughter stubbornly stayed here. She was so badly wounded that she was bedridden all day, and when the imperial ship arrived, she left a letter and disappeared. The letter said that she was a madman and could only be a madman for the rest of her life. She never believed that she would live like a normal person. When she closed her eyes, all she could remember was the flesh that had been slashed repeatedly, making it impossible to identify what it had looked like before. She didn't like it, but she couldn't help it. She said she didn't want to hurt anyone β but couldn't. The only thing that is the least important in this life is the adoptive father who gave her name.
Her companion went mad the next day and searched for it, but could not find it. The imperial court's boat had a limited time to stop, and after a few days, he was also talked about by two impermanences, and dragged him onto the ship home. As for the general, he only got his daughter's letter after he came back, and he fainted immediately. When he woke up, he said he was going to go again, but he was put in prison and said he was ...... He dared to cultivate his own army privately. The situation is chaotic, some people believe it, some people don't; Some are for it, some are against. The general's friend was going to take the exam, so he deliberately delayed running around for him, praying to God and Buddha. But the friend did not go to see him, because he had no face. To put it mildly, at first, he supported the general's daughter to come back to him. Now the general has returned, and his daughter is gone.
To this day, the general has passed away, but no one has heard from him again.
Far from it...... What was Liang Yuejun's name before? This will only remain an eternal mystery.
Just like this man.
The man was indeed impatient: "Is it that people like to look back on the past when they are old?" We were in a hurry. β
"Oh, the young man is still impatient after all." The Moon Master looked like he shook his head, but he pursed his lips and smiled, "The Yama Demon is really ruthless, and he won't tell you the place. β
The woman said: "It is a blessing for the Lord to tell us the last days and to acquiesce to us in such 'superfluous things.'" Besides, the weapon of the god is still in his hands, and he should retrieve it. β
"I have found the place you asked me to check. It's right in ......."
The breeze blows, and the willows by the river swing their branches in the water. The chaotic ripples pushed each other, crushing the reflection of the sky. The grass rustled, and the insects that hid in it chirped sporadically.
"Here we go." The woman bowed slightly, "You should find a good place to go earlier." The time of the Son of Heaven is short, and the eldest son of the emperor has always been at odds with him in private. according to the nature of his son...... I'm afraid that his father's power will be liquidated, and I'm afraid that Xinyue Palace will bear the brunt. Be careful. β
"Then I wish he could find me."
She spoke briskly, her voice distinctly that of a teenage girl. The wind blew the veil off his head, revealing a pair of fox ears.
She waved to them and watched them disappear into the depths of the garden of the Heart Moon Palace.
After passing through the spiritual veins, the two of them were speechless all the way. They knew each other well and didn't have much to say. Kyushu is so big, and there are more than two people acting in the six realms at the same time, which can be regarded as a rare thing. Either the events are interconnected, or the situation is very serious. But this time, there was nothing special about what they were going to do. Rather, it is a "private matter" that is inconsequential compared to their work.
"When you return to this world, it will be October of the following year, and the time difference is very large. He also wanted to go to the south again, but at that time, the court didn't let people who had been there go again. Otherwise, the general's business...... He was also implicated. Ruyuejun suddenly spoke.
"If you go, you can't find it, and you will only be sad in vain. At that time, no one could survive her injuries. It's a miracle that she's been able to endure it for so long. God replied.
There wasn't much poignancy in his words, but they weren't frivolous either. He just saw it, more than anyone else.
"We and him...... How many years haven't we seen each other? β
"More than fifty years." "It's fast." β
"Hmm...... It's pretty fast. The last time I heard from him was more than thirty years ago. Frost Moon Jun passed by that place on an errand and saw him. He took a wife. Shuangyuejun said, it's not a girl like a flower, I think it must be like a flower. β
"Hmm."
They were speechless again.
And so the day passed. As they stood on this plain surrounded by mountains and rivers, they saw a lonely house, which was dyed golden at dusk. The house wasn't completely isolated, it was just too far away from the nameless village. It was the farthest house in the village. The chalet is located at the highest point of the river's high tide and a little higher. If there is no flash flood, it is safe on weekdays. In fact, there has not been a major flood in this place for hundreds of years, and the most powerful water is a small waterfall a hundred miles away from the wooden house.
There was a little girl with pigtails catching fish in the water. A resigned, boy, stood on the shore, and the girl beckoned her to come down with her. It can be seen that the girl is the older sister and the boy is the younger brother.
"This house is like yours."
"Like?" Ruyuejun tilted her head, "I don't remember exactly." β
"I remember."
The glow was warm, falling on the surface of the water like a burning fire.
"Kid." Kanna-kun beckoned the boy over, "You live here?" β
The boy took two steps back in fear. The girl immediately ran up from the shallow water, bang, click, click, and stood in front of the boy barefoot on the grass. When she stopped, the braid on her head was still dangling.
"Who are you? You are not from the village. β
Ruyuejun was disgusted: "You are too fierce." β
"Is there one?" He drew the curtain.
"I'll do it anyway." Ruyuejun squatted down and looked at the girl's round eyes, "Girl, where is your father?" β
"My dad went out to make money and came back." The girl said, "My aunt and uncle have gone on a journey. β
"It's time to break into the rivers and lakes!" Although the little boy behind him was a little timid, he echoed at this time.
Shen Wujun muttered, his heart was really big.
Ruyuejun asked again: "Is this where your grandparents live?" β
"Yes. But grandma left last winter, and now it's just us and grandpa. β
"We are friends with your grandfather and want to find him. Is he at home? β
"Grandpa was watching the stars under the waterfall...... "the boy said timidly, "he was there every night." But when you call him, shout at the top of your voice, or he will not hear anything behind his ears. β
"Okay, thanks."
With that, Shen Wujun turned around and left, and Ruyuejun also straightened up and followed. Still curious, the girl poked her head behind and shouted at the top of her voice, "You haven't said what you're going to do!" β
Along the river, the two went all the way upstream. The slanting sun lay on the top of the mountain, watching them, and stretched their shadows very long. In the distance, they saw an old man with gray hair, hunched over the stump. His shadow is also long.
The gurgling water is a warm orange-red. Kamino Jun stopped at a distance from him, and Rutsuki-kun also stopped. The two of them looked at the delicate, slender body that was as dry as a leaf in the wind, waiting for the night, and suddenly became less certain.
"Qi Huan?"
The old man looked back suddenly.
