"Well, your grandmother, do you still live in the Yuan family?" the emperor asked in an easy-going tone, only the father-in-law of Qin, who got along day and night, could hear that the murderous machine that had been unsheathed.

"That grandma has died. Even though she only played with me for an afternoon, I missed her a lot. Xi Concubine's clear voice was full of regret of memories, "When I was twelve years old, I went to burn incense and make vows with my grandmother in the temple of Sunu, and met her in the back garden. The mama who led the practice was sitting in the garden, weaving grasshoppers and dragonflies from grass leaves, which was elegant. The sister-in-law in the temple said that Mama has never been reluctant to take care of people, has no children and no daughters, and lives in the temple to cultivate when she is old. That grasshopper, with eyes and mouth, and claws, is fun!"

"That grandmother has those pictures, and she showed them to you, right?" asked the emperor.

"No, Mama said that the picture is just a dance music, divided into the front, the middle, and the back. She was old and afraid that she would not be able to remember, so she had to find a smart person to listen to it, so as not to be lost to the world. So, "Xi Concubine's big round eyes rolled slightly, flexible and playful, "I'm that smart person!"

"You can tell what the building looks like just by what she dictated, and it's smart. The Emperor praised in a faint tone.

"Yes, every set of movements of the dance music is euphemistic and lingering, depicting every pattern, the emperor wants to take a look?" said with a smile, looking at the emperor's eyes that were simple and lovely.

"Good. The Emperor nodded.

"Let's talk about the Tiantu first! Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Liangyi," Xi Concubine jumped up happily, walked quickly to the center of the hall, stood upright, held her breath slightly, slowly stretched out her arms, drew a circle with a graceful and elegant posture, and explained briskly while swiping: "This is the line of the outer building, look at my gesture up and down, I have tried, painted on paper, it is the prototype of a palace!"

Xi Concubine glanced at the dumbfounded emperor, and continued triumphantly, her white fingers gestured while explaining, her voice was crisp and bright: "Two Yi give birth to three talents, and three talents give birth to four elephants, which means that two groups of buildings of this shape are built around the main eye in the center." Inside the outer complex of the Bagua figure, it consists of three towers and four gatehouses. Your Majesty, the shape of the tower and the shape of the gatehouse have clear dancing lines!"

"Four elephants give birth to five elements, and five elements give birth to six elements, which means that the whole building has four parallel main passages. The main passage is formed by the convergence of five auxiliary roads, and the five auxiliary roads are each bifurcated and staggered, and the hundred rivers converge with the sea after six points and six combinations. ”

"Liuhe gives birth to seven stars, and seven stars give birth to gossip, and there is a palace in every place where they intersect, and there is a dark room in the hall that is used to hide the seven stars, and each dark room is connected by a secret passage of the gossip array. ”

"Gossip gives birth to nine palaces, and everything belongs to the ten directions. There are ninety-nine eighty-one mechanisms derived from the Bagua Secret Passage, which can control all the building mechanisms in the Heavenly Atlas. This place that controls everything is called the Ten Directions. And the magical name of Shifang, hehe, I specifically asked Mama, in fact, it is the meaning of the main eye. The concubine danced smoothly as she spoke, and the dance was strange, almost all of them were elbows, palms and fingers fluttering.

The emperor watched it for a long time, and saw in a trance that the fingertips of the concubine bloomed like flowers, and there were vague butterflies shuttling through the depths of the stamens, appearing and disappearing.

"The ten squares of the heavenly map are like a mandala, the ten squares of the map are like a manju sawah, and the ten squares of the human figure are like a thousand-petal chrysanthemum. The concubines danced up, moved in groups, and their voices rose higher and higher: "The emperor's courtyard passage is shaped like a mandala, thousands of times more beautiful than I imagined, and the concubines are fortunate to see it, and they have no regrets in this life!"

"Mandala Hua?Manzhu Shahua?" the emperor asked softly as his slightly dizzy eyes moved with the dance of the concubine.

"That's the name of the flower on the other side, Your Majesty. The white flower is called Mandala Hua, and it is said to bloom on the road of the gods and goddesses that leads to the Nine Shades. And the red flower on the other side is the Manju Sawa that blooms and falls into the dark and bottomless path of hell. The concubine stopped dancing, stood handsomely, her hands behind her back, and looked at the emperor with anticipation.

"The other side of the flower?!" the emperor frowned, asking for some reason.

"The Flower of the Other Side - the tenderness of the devil. That's the flower that voluntarily threw into hell!" Xi Concubine nodded, looked at the emperor with burning eyes, and said solemnly, "After being sent back by the demons of hell, he still wandered on the Yellow Spring Road, unwilling to leave. In the end, the demons couldn't bear it, so they agreed to let her drive on this road to give guidance and comfort to the unjust souls who had left the human world. So the flowers on the other side took root, and the blood-red manju sawa grew downwards, and the snow-white mandala bloomed upwards. ”

"The flower on the other side represents death. Along the snow-white mandala you can find a new life of joy and relief, and along the blood-red manju sawa you can encounter the fall of pain and remorse. Xi Concubine said as she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she lost her confused breath, "Or hesitant and wandering, or without hesitation, this line on the ground, the choice only depends on ourselves." ”

The emperor looked at the concubine quietly, and the concubine lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the white marble floor tiles on the ground, and the room was silent.

Gonggong Qin raised one eyebrow, unable to suppress the surprise in his heart. This concubine is also a good storyteller! Her story also has dance and secrets, and the novelty is fascinating!

The contrast between her innocent and innocent story is so great that it is so impressive! No wonder the emperor meditates quietly.

"Concubine, can you draw a picture?" the emperor asked slowly, his tone calm and gentle.

"Yes, I often draw at home," the concubine raised from the fun of gazing at the floor tiles, and stuck out her tongue mischievously at the emperor, "My mother always told me to spend time and paper on paper, and blindly draw these unintelligible Laoshzi." ”

The childishness of the concubine was not taken off, so that the emperor couldn't help but smile and beckon, "Come here, come and draw on the case." ”

"Okay. Xi Concubine walked over, picked up the pen on the dragon case, and brushed the pen, "This is the prototype of the periphery, guarding the main eye here, the emperor, look at it, it doesn't look like your imperial city......?

The emperor looked at the concubine who was engrossed in drawing, watching the concubine draw while chanting, and turned around from time to time to ask, casually completely forgetting the etiquette that should be different from the emperor's dignity and humility, and the taboo of protecting one's self to avoid suspicion.

This kind of innocence that goes deep into the bone marrow, déjà vu, has also been seen in the woman who told the story to herself.

The emperor's eyes sank, and after meeting her, his life changed, and he was no longer just an emperor who looked down on the world, but an ordinary man with seven emotions and six desires.
