It's still the same earth, it's still the same fragmentation.

However, this night I dreamed of the General's Mansion, dreamed that the plaque of General Xia's Mansion was removed, and I dreamed that there were many officers and soldiers who surrounded the mansion, and the whole mansion seemed to become barren and overgrown overnight, and dozens of people in the whole mansion seemed to disappear overnight, no one knew how the home of Xia Yunzhi, the former hero, could be like this, and no one knew what happened.

Jiankang, a small city, is like a cage, easy to enter and difficult to be free, the whole country seems to have never existed in General Xia's family, and the city of Jiankang has completely blocked the news of the death of the Xia family.

In the dream, Xia Wenqing returned to this mansion, it was empty and lifeless, and there was no trace of anyone living in the entire mansion.

Pushing open the heavy door is like pushing open a city that holds the memory closed.

However, the time in the dream instantly went back to many years ago, Xia Wenqing saw a little girl running in front of him happily, she shouted "Mother", and the voice like a silver bell echoed throughout the inner courtyard.

The little girl found her mother, and coquettishly wanted to sit on the woman's lap, far away, Xia Wenqing looked at this scene and smiled, the mother and daughter really looked alike.

When she was a child, Xia Wenqing also loved to shrink in her mother's arms and listen to her mother read the story of the prince and princess to her.

At this time, the little girl raised her head and asked her mother, when will her father come home?

The mother looked at the girl tenderly and smiled, her voice was soft and soft, "Father is a big hero, all the people in this country need Dad's protection, only Qing'er is sensible, and your father can fight for us and the country without distraction." ”

Qing'er? This Qing'er call is more like her mother's voice, when Xia Wenqing was a child, her mother also called her Qing'er.

Xia Wenqing couldn't help but be stunned, the little girl's surname is "Xia", also called "Qing'er"!

How could it be such a coincidence, she is also surnamed Xia, and her name also has Qing, and her mother also calls her "Qing'er".

At this time, the gate of the General's Mansion was opened, "Qing'er! A male voice rang out behind him.

How familiar this voice is, Xia Wenqing turned her head when she heard the sound, this man in armor, his eyes shining, and walking towards her was the father who made her regret it deeply!

Xia Wenqing looked at the figure walking in front of her in disbelief, his appearance was exactly the same as the one she remembered, and time did not leave a trace on him.

The man walked over, squatted down and hugged the little girl who rushed towards him, and Mrs. Xia looked at them and walked out of the side courtyard with a loving face.

But it seems that in an instant, the looks of the girl and the lady have changed, Mrs. Xia's appearance has become a mother who thinks about her day and night, and this little girl has become Xia Wenqing herself.

The scene in front of her was so warm, illuminating this huge courtyard, but it also hurt Xia Wenqing's heart, at this time she was like an outsider looking at other people's family reunions.

She was envious but could not be jealous.

At this time, everything around turned into a bubble and dissipated into the sun, and there was no so-called general's mansion, nor a so-called family reunion.

The scene changed in an instant, and she appeared in front of a temple that stood in the middle of the mountain, facing the whole of Jiankang.

There was a man standing in front of the temple, seeing that he was not dressed as a monk, he was facing away from the temple at this time, overlooking the whole city, saying that it was "overlooking", but he actually closed his eyes, Xia Wenqing couldn't control his steps, and let an invisible magical force pull her to the man.

She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, the strange man opened her mouth first, "What am I doing, do you want to ask this?" ”

Xia Wenqing nodded.

The man continued, "Do you want to ask me again how I can see the city when my eyes are closed?" ”

"Yes." Xia Wenqing felt that this man was very strange, but without waiting for her to ask, he could guess her thoughts, she was really a god, and when he talked to her, the man closed his eyes the whole time.

"Jiankang City is not big, but my heart is big, my people are very small, but my vision is very big, who said that you must use your eyes to see, sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true, but your heart and your feelings will not lie to you, you can see the essence by looking with your heart."

After the man finished speaking, he opened his eyes, didn't pay attention to Xia Wenqing, didn't wait for any response from her, and walked down the mountain by himself, and read in a loud voice as he walked, "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery......"

Xia Wenqing kept looking at the man's back intently, and she didn't come back to her senses until his figure was too small to be seen.

At this point, she woke up and her dream was gone.

This dream brought her too many emotions that she couldn't say, she saw her parents, and she saw herself when she was a child, but she only saw herself living in someone else's life.

This kind of lost and regained, helpless feelings are complicated in her mind and become a dead knot, there are too many questions but I don't know who to ask, why did she see herself in the general's mansion in her dreams, and who is that mysterious man?

Xia Wenqing got up, opened the door, the sunlight shone into the house, stabbing her unable to open her eyes, it has been several days since she came here, she roughly already knows the layout of this Lin Yuan, why is it called Lin Yuan, in fact, it is just because there is an inconspicuous plaque at the gate, which says Lin Yuan.

There is a large bamboo forest in the garden, and there is also a large pond with willow trees planted around the pond, and a mahogany pavilion is hidden between the trees.

Xia Wenqing always likes to go to the pond for a walk, and she is quiet and quiet, but today she didn't go, because she heard the faint sound of the piano coming from the bamboo forest.

She followed the sound and saw Wen Mo playing the piano, today he did not wear a moonlight white, but chose a green coat.

At the end of the song, Xia Wenqing had been standing not far away and listening to the sound of the piano, but he didn't expect Wen Mo to find her behind her.

Wen Mo turned his head and said to her, "Come and listen." ”

Although he wanted to know how he found her, Xia Wenqing still didn't ask anything, walked over and sat by the piano, watching his white and slender fingers swipe over the strings and play such beautiful music.

"You like to listen to music too?"

"I don't like it very much, the little girl doesn't know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she doesn't know much about music, I just ......" The words stopped suddenly, Xia Wenqing didn't know how to continue.

"Huh? Just how? Seeing that she didn't continue, Wen Mo looked at Qin with a smile and turned to look at her.

"I just love to hear you play." After saying this, Xia Wenqing's cheeks turned red.

Wen Mo stroked the qin's hand for a moment, and saw that the woman in front of him was blushing because of a sentence, and felt funny, but a smile appeared on her mouth.

Seeing him laughing and not saying a word, Xia Wenqing blushed even more, and his mouth was stiff, "What are you laughing at?" “

"It's nothing, I just think you're funny." With that, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Xia Wenqing followed and stood up, "Wen Mo! ”

He stopped and turned his face slightly, "What?" ”

"Actually, you lied to me."

Hearing this, Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then returned to that light smile.

Xia Wenqing saw that he didn't react, and he was even more sure of his guess, "Actually, you don't have the surname Wen either." ”

"Oh? How so? He saw that he was about to be pierced, but he still had an elusive smile on his face.

"You said it yourself, Jiankang doesn't have a big family surnamed Wen." Her eyes looked at the piano on the side, "Although the little girl doesn't understand music, this piano is indeed made of red sandalwood, and the price is expensive, and it depends on the young master of the house who should be dressed by the son." ”

Wen Mo turned around, hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were curved as if he could reveal a soft light.

Laugh again! What's so funny about it.

"That's right, I'm not surnamed Wen." He admitted it so calmly, but it was a little unexpected for Xia Wenqing.

"My surname is Xiao, Xiao Mo."

Xia Wenqing felt that it was necessary to go to the General's Mansion, if the furnishings there were still the same, and the new general had not moved in with his family, she would definitely still be able to find the lock of the girl's name in the house, but she was afraid of her current identity, if that dream was true, the emperor would definitely find all the reasons to get rid of General Xia's family, such as giving him an unworthy charge, then she would be considered the daughter of a criminal minister with this face now, if she went out now and was caught by the government, let alone solve the problem, I can't even save my own life.

So after thinking about it for several days, Xia Wenqing still decided to go to Xiao Mo.

"You're going into town?" Lin Yuan is located on the edge of the city, which is considered a suburb in today's terms.

Xiao Mo frowned, "It's not impossible, it's just very risky, I heard that the emperor is secretly looking for you now, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to venture into the city now." ”

"I know it's risky, but I have to give it a try because I have something to confirm, and once it's confirmed, I can make up my mind."

Seeing that she had a tough attitude and had made up her mind, Xiao Mo was not good at what to say, he sighed, "Okay, I'll help you, but after the matter is done, I also have one condition, as for what it is, I'll tell you when I come back." ”

Xia Wen guessed early in the morning that he must have the conditions to do things, but there was no way, she had to go.

Xia Wenqing walked out of the room, and after making sure that she was far away, Gao Zhe walked into the house, "Childe, I have heard, just tomorrow, everyone in the general's mansion will be charged with murdering the general, and they will be beheaded on the spot at noon tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows, supported his head with one hand, leaned on the recliner, his long phoenix eyes were half-hanging, "It seems that the emperor is planning to catch Xia Wenqing." ”

As soon as the second day was slightly bright, the carriage went straight from Lin Yuan to the General's Mansion, the gate in front of the General's Mansion was guarded by officers and soldiers, Gao Zhe could only take Xia Wenqing over the wall into the inner courtyard, Xia Wenqing was dressed as a man, and Xiao Mo used powder to change part of her appearance and real complexion, if you don't look carefully, you won't see that she is Xia Wenqing.

According to the description in the dream, Xia Wenqing found the room of the owner of this body in the inner courtyard with ease, and when she pushed open the door, she was also surprised, the layout of the inner courtyard and the pattern in this room were really the same as in the dream.

But she didn't have time to think about it, so she walked in and let Gao Zhe guard outside the door, she actually came to confirm whether the little girl in the dream was really called Xia Wenqing, and how much of the content in the dream was true.

She remembered that Xia Yunzhi in the dream asked her to copy her name a thousand times because her daughter was naughty and ignorant, and the few pieces of paper that were punished for copying were placed by the girl in the last drawer under the desk, and sure enough, there was a stack of papers in the drawer.

didn't have time to stay longer, Xia Wenqing walked out of the door and climbed over the wall with Gao Zhe.

Xia Wenqing returned to the carriage with a somewhat strange expression, and when she raised her head, she saw Xiao Mo looking at her, "What you want to confirm has a result?" ”

Xia Wenqing nodded, although it was confirmed, but her mood did not relax in the slightest, Xiao Mo saw that she was thoughtful and did not ask again.

Everything in that dream seems to be true, as if they are guiding her and guiding her to the General's Mansion, the two people with the same name actually don't look the same, but why are the three people in the General's Mansion in the dream being her and her parents?

After being silent for a long time, Xia Wenqing finally spoke, "By the way, Xiao Mo, is there a temple outside the city that is surrounded by mountains, in the middle of the mountain, and can overlook the entire Jiankang?" "Now that things have come to this point, all doubts must be solved, including the mysterious man.

"Yes."

Xia Wenqing climbed the mountain alone and saw the "Taoyuan Temple" surrounded by mountains.

In fact, the poem that the mysterious man read when he left in the dream was the "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" written by Tang Yin, the sentence "The Peach Blossom Nunnery in the Peach Blossom Dock, the Peach Blossom Fairy under the Peach Blossom Nunnery." In fact, it is implying that there is a "peach" character in the name of this temple.

Sure enough, there was a person standing in front of the temple, but that person was not the mysterious man in the dream, just a young Taoist priest.

Xia Wenqing couldn't help but feel a little lost, and sighed lightly, after all, dreams are just dreams, how can they really be exactly the same as reality.

This sigh reached the ears of the Taoist priest, and he turned to look at Xia Wenqing, who looked lonely, "This son has something to worry about. "Xia Wenqing is a woman dressed as a man today, so the other party will call her son.

Xia Wenqing sighed again, "Yes, I have a question I want to find an answer"

"Can you tell the poor to hear it?"

Anyway, if you can't meet the person in your dreams, you might as well talk to him, "Where does the Taoist think people will go when they die?" ”

"All things are born, there is life and there is death, and all things are condensed, and naturally after death, they will also return to chaos."

"But will there be someone who will not return to chaos and live again in another way?"

"Everything has a fixed number, and of course everything has its reason for survival, since God has made people live in another way, this is also his gift but also a punishment?"

"Punishment? What do you mean by that? “

The Taoist chief looked at Jiankang City in the distance, and said slowly, "Everyone's life will not always be smooth sailing and will not always be weathered, this is just to let people add up his merits and faults to zero when they die, but some people can't just offset the two, or say that there is a mistake in the middle The two have not been offset, and the person has already died, so he will choose to let him live again, the merits and demerits will be offset, others will only suffer for one lifetime, but if they live again, they will have to suffer for two lifetimes, isn't this a punishment?" "

Yes, this makes sense, Xia Wenqing carefully recalled that his life in the 21st century was really bad, he was born in a wealthy family, but he lost his mother since he was a child, and he did not get the due father's love and mother's love in his childhood, but because of this, he developed a squeamish and debauched character, treated his father with no respect, never looked at his stepmother seriously, treated love half-heartedly, and lived half his life in a mess, but he was reborn after death.

"All things grow according to their natural laws, and all things exist for their own reasons for survival, and the same is true for people, and everyone is born with a different mission, since they are fortunate enough to live again, why not pay attention to punishment as a kind of atonement?"

Xia Wenqing stopped talking, fell into a kind of silence, and then suddenly became enlightened, hurriedly thanked the Taoist chief, and came back after taking a few steps, "Dare to ask the Taoist chief, what is his name?" ”

"Luo Zhiqiu."

"Then dare to ask Master Luo Zhiqiu if he can interpret dreams?"

Oneiromancy? The Taoist chief smiled, "There are no dreams to solve, dreams come from their own inner feelings about the gains and losses in life, instead of thinking about how to interpret dreams, it is better to think about how to resolve them!" ”

Xia Wenqing smiled and respectfully arched his hand and saluted to the Dao Chief, "Thank you Dao Master for your teaching, Xiao Sheng has benefited a lot!" ”

Back in the carriage, the serious expression on Xia Wenqing's original face softened.

Xiao Mo saw her frowning brows soothed, and suddenly guessed that the question in her heart had an answer, "Have you seen the person you want to see?" ”

"Yes, not only did I see it, but I also benefited a lot."

Xiao Mo smiled, looked out the window, and only spoke after a long time: "At noon today, at the entrance of the vegetable market, all the servants in General Xia's mansion were sentenced to death for the crime of murdering the general and his wife, and now it is estimated that it is over at this time." ”

What the! Xia Wenqing's eyes widened and looked at Xiao Mo incredulously, "At noon? Why didn't you tell me sooner."

Xiao Moyun's breezy appearance seemed to be telling about some inconspicuous trivial matter, "Even if I tell you, what can you do?" “

He's right, what can I do but shed tears for them! Xia Wen smiled bitterly to himself.

"The mysterious death of important ministers of the court always needs an excuse, since the emperor secretly disposed of the general and his wife, it shows that he will not let the people know that he did it, so those innocent domestic servants have become the best scapegoats."

After Xia Wenqing listened, he was silent for a long time, and his heart was mixed.

Xiao Mo propped his head in his hands and looked at her with his head tilted, "Do you know why the emperor wants to dispose of those people in the market?" ”

"It's because ...... I! The reason for the pause was because Xia Wenqing at this time had not yet gotten used to his current identity.

"That's right, it stands to reason that this assassination plan is very good, but there is a mistake in one link, that is, let you escape, they are afraid that you will know everything, and they are afraid that it will be bad for them if you live in the future."

Xia Wen snorted coldly, "Faint! beheaded loyal ministers, and even some innocent servants were not spared. ”

Xiao Mo looked at her expression with some questions, but she still looked calm and breezy on the surface, and there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, this woman was only twelve years old, but why was her eyes unexpectedly calm and calm, not at all like only twelve years old, "The people of the court must have set up an ambush in secret, just waiting for you to appear because you can't bear it." During the whole process of speaking, Xiao Mo leaned lazily on his body, and his tone did not fluctuate.

"Then let them die in vain?" Xia Wenqing was a little surprised and a little frightened that the man next to him could say these words with such a calm and breezy attitude.

To her question, Xiao Mo chuckled, "Otherwise?" Do you still want to save them? When he spoke, Xia Wenqing looked into his eyes, without any waves, why could he be so indifferent to people's life and death.

His smile was a little ironic about her, his words pierced his heart, Xia Wenqing looked at him with a chill in his eyes, but Xiao Mo did not shy away from her inquiring eyes, looking straight at her, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people.

Xia Wenqing finally knew at this moment that the calmness in his eyes was not warm as jade, but insensitive.

He's not human, he's just a cold-blooded wolf!
