"Miss, there are a lot of people who come to the White Tiger Temple to discuss Zen this year!"

The maid Qingzhu glanced out the window, this year's White Tiger Temple, compared with the past, there are more people who come to talk about Zen. From time to time, a few people stepped on the clouds and flew through the windows. Their White Tiger City is forbidden to the sky, and these people who can fly at will are respected by the world as strong men who can stand at the top of humanity.

But what does all this have to do with her? Today is the day of the young lady's wedding, and she just needs to "serve" the young lady well, prevent her from making trouble, and sit quietly in the sedan chair.

When the window is cloudy sideburns, the mirror appliqué yellow.

Miss's hair is more beautiful than the clouds in the sky, Miss's face is better than the February red flower, and the maid sighed while grooming Miss: Such a beautiful person wants to marry an aunt who has never even met him, and Mrs. and the master are inevitably too ruthless.

"Bamboo, is he back?"

The maid who was called a bamboo leaned over gently, put her head against Miss's ear, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I still think about the cowherd, he, maybe he will die in a foreign land a long time ago." ”

"He had an agreement with me. ”

"Agreed?"

Although she was a maid, Miss Ke's naïve thoughts still made her laugh and sneer: "Say what he will get ahead? Say what he will marry you? But Miss, this is the world of monks, not to mention the powerful ministers, even if he becomes a king? It's just an ant!"

Seeing that the young lady did not speak, Zhu softened his tone.

"Miss, although you can't cultivate, but the one you want to marry is the little son of the Mu family, and you have a great possibility of becoming a powerful person!"

"Is it powerful?"

The woman got up and looked out the window, and those powers were like meteors, shuttling through the forbidden city.

Perhaps, this is freedom, right?

"Bamboo, the auspicious time has arrived, send the lady to the sedan chair. ”

The maid who called the bamboo owed a debt, and held up the hem of the skirt that was redder than roses.

"Miss, get up. ”

......

When Chen Mu opened his eyes again, he was lying on a simple bed made of thatched straw, he looked around, the wooden simple house was still full of wind, the wind was biting, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"Cow baby!"

A young man with a thin figure and a muddy face pushed open the not-so-sturdy wooden door, his face full of excitement.

"Go and see, the list of the big exam has been released!"

Chen Mu, no, now his name is Niu Wa, and he got up from the thatch.

"Ergou, am I on the list!"

"I didn't have time to see it, there were too many people!

"Let's go!"

Niu Wa followed Ergou and couldn't wait to run to the Kyoto market, the notice board where the list was put was already full of people, Niu Wa finally squeezed in front of him, he looked up from the bottom, only to see that on the big red list, with gold dust on the book so many names.

Tanhua: Xiahou Shang, Yu Tong, Zong Deyong.

Eyes: Ximen Shi, Tang Binbai.

Champion: Cao Aniu.

Niu Wa saw the three words "Cao Aniu" at the top, and was stunned for a while, these three words inexplicably made him feel strange.

"Cao Aniu!"

The thin young man called the second dog hugged the cow baby.

"Niu Wa! You've been admitted!

Niu Wa came to his senses, yes, his own name is Cao Aniu.

"I got in?"

Cao Aniu still can't believe it, he was originally a cowherd from a poor family, but he also has a dream of fame. After studying hard for ten years in the cold window, he went to Beijing to take the exam for several years, but how many people failed on the list? Cao Aniu doesn't remember.

During the period, he didn't tell Ren Heren about the sadness, but now that he is really admitted, he is still the champion, and he can't help but recall the past, and it is like a dream.

"Congratulations!"

"I'll just go out today, why is the western sky so bright, it turns out that Gongzi, the Wenqu star, came to the world!"

"Childe, my little daughter has not yet come out of the cabinet, and the five arts of appearance are famous far and near, if the son is interested, I am willing to promote this marriage!"

As soon as the list was released here, there were already people watching over there, Ergou felt that he was standing next to Niu Wa and was stained, he looked at Niu Wa, Niu Wa didn't seem to have come to his senses, just stood like that, looking at the list blankly, but the bullfrog's face seemed to be shining.

Three days later, on the official road.

A team of high-headed horses, a red-topped sedan chair, and a brocade robe kept going west.

The spring breeze is proud, but Cao Aniu, no, Cao Zhuangyuan hopes that the horse's hooves can be sicker, he wants to go to the west, return to that city, and complete the agreement with her.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer and closer, but on the official road, why are there so many people who have left their hometowns?

"No traffic ahead! You mortals, go back!"

At the end of the official road, several uniformly dressed young people stopped the motorcade returning to their hometown.

Ergou was quite familiar with the monks' affairs, he stepped down from the front of the car, and said respectfully: "Several immortal masters, we are from Kyoto, this time we want to go back to our hometown White Tiger City to visit relatives, I don't know if a few immortal masters can make it convenient." ”

Ergou said as he took out all the gold coins from his purse and handed them to several young people.

"Take it yourself. A young man pushed Ergou's purse back, "It's not that we are making things difficult for you, but that this is no longer the territory of the Terrans." ”

Ergou didn't understand the other party's words, and he wondered: "It's not the territory of the human race?

Behind the young man, another monk said impatiently: "Little junior brother, talk so much nonsense with them, just drive them away." ”

The young man glanced at his senior brother and smiled apologetically, his senior brothers knew this guy's temperament, so they didn't care anymore.

The young monk continued: "You have also seen the victims on the road, they are lucky, the sea did not touch their city, they still have their lives to escape, but the White Tiger City ......"

On the sedan chair, Cao Aniu, who was dressed in brocade, lifted the curtain, he hurried to the monk's side, and hurriedly asked, "You say, what's wrong with White Tiger City?"

"White Tiger City, alas!"

The young monk sighed, his eyes showing compassion and a little resentment: "The White Tiger City is gone, the entire city, the monks, and the civilians are all dead!"

"The year before last, during the Dragon God Rebellion, the Emperor of Heaven disappeared. This year's White Tiger Temple Zen was originally a discussion of how to deal with the more and more powerful water tribes in the future, but who knew that when the discussion was going on, the sea water rose from the temple, and it was not ordinary water, but water that could freeze people's souls!"

"Except for a few who escaped from the great power of the Divine Transformation, everyone was killed in an instant!

The more the young monk spoke, the more angry he became, it was a whole city! Mortals, monks, and even several great powers, were all dead!

"The city is gone, what about Yu Shan? She, is she okay?" Cao Aniu was stunned, he trembled, and asked this sentence.

"Niu Wa, the family is gone, the family is gone!" Ergou's tears had already burst out of his eyes, "All gone! Dad! Mother! Yu Yushan, the eldest lady of the Yu family, are all dead!"

Cao Aniu looked at Ergouzi blankly, and a few words buzzed out of his mouth: "All dead, all dead...... Then what's the use of me getting famous? What's the use of me returning home?"

Cao Aniu ran back to the carriage and sedan chair, and took out all the books, notes, and articles he had read in order to gain fame. A whole large box of books, he tore them one by one, one by one.

So on the official road, there was only a beggar crying bitterly, a madman with brocade clothes and jade belts, and the bits and pieces of paper flying all over the sky, white flowers, just like the paper flowers scattered by people during the Qingming Festival.

And this is just a trivial matter among all living beings after the Ming clan gained power.

......

A tear slipped through the corner of Chen Mu's eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying on a damp rock.

"Me, where is this? Was it a dream?"

Chen Mu still had Cao Aniu's sad appearance in his mind, he really thought he was the other party in his dream just now.

"Here?"

Chen Mu sat up and looked around: in front of him was a cave-like space, dim, the air was full of water vapor and dampness, there was no sound around, Chen Mu could even hear his own pounding heartbeat, dead silence.

In such a scene, if there is a claustrophobic person, it will definitely not be able to stay.

"Awake?"

Without the slightest warning, the sudden female voice almost frightened Chen Mu so much that his heart stopped beating, and when he saw the speaker's face, the sadness in his heart welled up.

"Yushan ......"

The woman in the red dress was shocked, she looked at Chen Mu in the corner of her eyes, frowned, and said, "You, how do you know my name?"

It was the voice without emotional fluctuations, and Chen Mu suddenly realized that the woman in the red dress he had seen in the gray fog in front of him was the one he had seen before.

"Sister ghost, I had a dream, and there was a woman named Cao Aniu in the dream, who kept calling a woman named Yu Yushan. ”

"Cao Ah Niu ......"

The woman in the red dress smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten the real name of that person." After all, when I saw him again, he was already a bastard of the famous continent. ”

"So, my sister is the woman that the ancestor of the mixed yuan son remembers, right?"

The woman in the red dress nodded, very bitter.

Chen Mu sighed, when the wanderer who had studied hard for many years finally returned to his hometown, he found that the old city, the old people, and even the woman he loved were buried in the deep sea.

"Sister, what kind of place is this?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.

"The bottom of the lake. ”

"The bottom of the lake?"

Chen Mu opened his mouth wide, and he stammered: "That is to say...... So I really fell into the water before?"

The woman in the red dress did not speak.

"Uh......"

Chen Mu made a bitter face, and he looked at the woman in the red dress miserably: "Sister, can you tell me, am I a living person or a ...... now?"

The woman in the red dress glanced at Chen Mu: "Same as me?"

Chen Mu nodded bitterly.

"Don't worry, you're not dead yet. ”

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "I'll just say, how can my sister really give me death, you saved me, right?"

"Not really. ”

The woman in the red dress quickly denied it, and she said expressionlessly: "Originally, I really used you to open the passage between this city and the outside world, but now the passage is indeed open, but I still can't get out." You didn't die, but I didn't expect it. ”

"Uh......"

Chen Mu was dumbfounded, that was Minghu! Feelings for himself were wishful thinking, and the woman in the red dress was really cheating him, the kind of person who was going to die......

"Sister, you really ...... me Great!"
