Chapter Fifty-Eight: Walk in Bliss
At noon, Shimen came to a big dinner, and was discussing where to take Hanyan in the afternoon, Gu Qingyan's eyes rolled, but he thought of a good place, and beckoned to Beiming to let him come over with his ear.
Beiming went over as he said, Gu Qingyan whispered a few words in his ear, and saw Beiming nodding, and when he passed by Holly's side, he patted him on the shoulder, and then Holly followed Beiming out.
When everyone stopped the chopsticks in their hands, Gu Qingyan said to Han Yan, "Take you to a good place." In the blink of an eye, Lian Flickered and Pulled took Hanyan to his destination in the afternoon.
It is a small courtyard that comes out of Shimen alone, the small courtyard is not big, but it can be seen that it is the architectural style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the wooden corridor courtyard is a little, and the small bridge and flowing water are people.
The wooden plaques on the left and right sides of the courtyard gate read, "Don't be shocked by the humiliation, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, wandering with the sky outside the branch of the clouds", the middle plaque is the name of this small courtyard, called "Blissful Dwelling".
"What is this place?" Han Yan asked Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan said: "Blissful dwelling." ”
Saying that, Gu Qingyan led Han Yan into the courtyard gate, and as soon as he entered the courtyard and walked a few steps, two young men in long robes walked over with trays in their hands: "See the master." ”
Gu Qingyan picked up a ring on the tray in front of him, tied it around his waist, and pointed to the tray in front of Han Yan and asked him, "Which one do you choose?" ”
There was a jade pendant in that tray, and a bag of tips, Han Yan saw that Gu Qingyan was picking a ring pendant, so he also wanted to take the jade pendant, just reached out to take it, Gu Qingyan stopped him, took the jade pendant for him, pinned it to his waist, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "He will take you to see the scenery here, remember, don't forget your heart." ”
After speaking, no matter what Han Yan's expression was now, Gu Qingyan followed the other boy from the circle arch on the right and walked through the wooden corridor on the right.
"Master Han Shao, please come here." The young man in front of Han Yan stretched out his hand and took Han Yan to the left, which was a symmetrical round arch with the right, and went in to the wooden corridor on the left.
Walking along the wooden corridor, there are pines and cypresses planted around, but it is evergreen in all seasons, there is a small ditch on the side of the wooden corridor, there is a stream flowing slowly, occasionally you can see a few koi swimming in it, the middle is the courtyard, there is a small stone bridge, look at the opposite side, you can also see Gu Qingyan and walk.
Blissful Habitat is an almost symmetrical courtyard, and if you want to say that the asymmetrical place may be these flowers and plants. As he walked, the sound of silk and bamboo came slowly, accompanied by a faint fragrance, and his mind began to relax gradually, and Han Yan could clearly feel that he was gradually immersed in this atmosphere, and the distracting thoughts in his heart were gradually dissipating.
When I came to a small pavilion, I walked straight to the other end of the wooden corridor, and to the left, I could see a hut, and Han Yan looked at the opposite side, but Gu Qingyan's shadow was gone.
"Master Han Shao, where do you want to go?" The boy asked him.
Hanyan turned around, undoubtedly more interested in the hut on the left than in front of him, which seemed to be looking straight ahead. The young man saw that Han Yan's eyes had already told him the answer, so he said, "My subordinates can temporarily help Han Shaozhuang keep the cloak." ”
Han Yan also found that it seemed that it was much warmer here than outside, so he naturally took off his cloak and handed it to the young man, and then under the guidance of the young man, he went to the hut alone.
The moment he pushed the door open, Han Yan was stunned. The layout in the hut was exactly the same as the layout in the old lady's house in Qingquan Villa, and at this time, the old lady was sitting in the middle, with Han Zhuo on one side, He Jing on the other, and Su Tanxue chatting with the old lady.
"Grandma? Father? Mother? How did you guys get here? Han Yan was a little surprised and a little puzzled.
He Jing said: "I heard that Tanxue said that Yan'er's child was injured, so we all came over to take a look." ”
"But this... Why didn't you say a word when you came? ”
He Jing and Han Zhuo glanced at each other, and the old lady said happily: "Yan'er and Tanxue, the two girls, are holding back to surprise you." ”
In this way, Han Yan also had no doubts in his heart for the time being, sat down together, and the family chatted happily, talking about the marriage of Han Yan and Su Tanxue, Han Yan said: "Now is not the time. ”
"You kid, if you don't strike while the iron is hot, what is the time?" He Jing asked.
Han Yan said: "Although Gu Qingyan didn't reject me directly, she still has more important things to do in her heart after all, so even if we make a little progress now, we are not yet that step." ”
"Then you'll have to hurry." Hanyin reminded him, "This girl can not have this mind for a while, but she can't always have this mind, in case one day, she does one thing with no worries, and you can't regret it." ”
Han Yin's words just hit Han Yan's heart, he didn't think about this possibility, and even he had sometimes seen this possible scene happening to Gu Qingyan, so he was also worried and playing the drum in his heart, which led to the psychology that even if he could say a promise to Xu Shaolin, this promise did not dare to mention it in front of Gu Qingyan.
Han Yan looked at the Han Yin clan and changed the topic: "Isn't my father already taking a good look at Tanxue, do you have a favorite?" ”
"Brother Yan!" Su Tanxue thought to herself about Han Yan, why did she change her words and run to herself.
Han Zhuo sighed lightly: "We have already cultivated the book and explored the snow's father, and he must be involved in this matter." ”
At this time, Su Tanxue said: "The little girl is not in a hurry, she hasn't followed Brother Yan out to see the world yet, and it is not too late to come back when she sees the world." ”
Su Tanxue, who dared to express her opinion, surprised Han Yan, but looking at this girl again, she must have thought of someone in her heart when she spoke, otherwise she would not have blushed on her face, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Han Yan thought to himself that he must ask Gu Qingyan to help ask him in private. While talking in this room, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the back of the house, Han Yan ran out to check, but saw several senior brothers dressed in Qingquan Villa uniforms fighting together.
At this time, Han Yan didn't notice anything wrong at all, and shouted "stop" two or three times, no one paid attention to him, and saw a sword on the side, holding the sword and separating several people in the fight: "They are all senior brothers, what kind of system is it to fight like this?" ”
"Senior brother?" One of them said, "Han Yan, as the young owner of the village, you still remember that we are senior brothers, but they don't necessarily remember. ”
"Second Senior Brother, it's not right for you to say that! At the beginning, who felt that Qingquan Villa had no meaning to stay, and walked with a sword, how many years was this walk, and now seeing that Qingquan Villa was directly invited by Biluo Palace, he felt that the momentum was back, and he came again! ”
"The villa has not been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I know how many disciples there are in the village, and I want to make a contribution when I come back, so I can't mention Qingquan Villa in the future, except for a few swords, it is the relationship with Peach Blossom Stream!"
These people made Han Yan have a headache when you said a word, and shouted: "Enough! Shut up! ”
Indeed, Qingquan Villa has not been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes much over the years, and the original pivotal position in the rivers and lakes is now somewhat declining, and the disciples who came to study in the villa before were endless, and there were very few in the past two years, and the original disciples in the village also felt that it was not very interesting in the villa, and they proposed to go down the mountain one after another.
For this reason, Han Yan also mentioned it like Han Zhuo, but Han Zhuo didn't seem to care about it, everything was based on the natural principle, and the father and son had no less arguments about this matter, and then Han Yan just left home, and traveled outside every three or five times, if it weren't for Zhuang Nei saying that he received a post from Biluo Palace, Han Yan would not have gone back happily.
"The rectification of the villa is inevitable, and regardless of whether there are new disciples to join, should you also let go of the mustard in your heart first." Han Yan said.
At this time, he didn't realize that the two pictures he experienced were things that he had been thinking about for a long time in his heart.
After talking to his senior brother, Han Yan seemed to be a little tired, not physically tired, but mentally tired, over the years, he was somewhat unaccustomed to his father putting Qingquan Villa like this, but he himself, didn't he do anything to change because of this?
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyan's voice sounded in Han Yan's ears.
Han Yan shook his head: "I'm fine, why did you come over?" He vaguely remembered that Gu Qingyan should be on the opposite side of the place where he was.
Gu Qingyan smiled slightly, squatted down, because Hanyan was sitting, so Gu Qingyan looked at him and tilted his head slightly: "I saw that you had a sad face, so I came over to take a look." ”
"You say, compared to your three elder brothers, I'm also the young owner of the villa, isn't it very incompetent?" Han Yan looked at Gu Qingyan, took off all his precautions and performance, and asked Gu Qingyan.
For the first time, Gu Qingyan took the initiative to reach out and caress Han Yan's face, and said, "I hope you don't take the so-called responsibility too seriously, if it's too heavy, that's your burden." It's like what Peach Blossom Stream is carrying, we don't want to bear it, but it's just evenly divided. ”
Han Yan nodded weakly, and Gu Qingyan patted his head gently: "It's the first time I've seen you look like this, but I don't want to see it a second time." Otherwise, how can I trust my little life in your hands. ”
After speaking, Gu Qingyan walked towards the front: "I'll wait for you in front, don't get lost." ”
Han Yan raised his head, Gu Qingyan's voice was still in his ears, but there was no trace of her in front of him, and he smiled helplessly: "It's still running so fast." ”
He muttered to himself, after all, the silly girl was still waiting for him. There is a small arch bridge in front, anyway, there is no other way to go, Hanyan went straight across the arch bridge, and then turned a corner, then saw that the road in front of him was wider, walked a few steps forward, saw flower beds, fruit trees, pavilions, it turned out to be a small garden.
Looking around for Gu Qingyan's figure, passing a rockery, I saw someone standing not far behind, I thought it was Gu Qingyan, but before I could call her, I found that the height and body shape did not match, but it looked like a man.
"Qingyan, please, don't kill him." This voice sounded like Su Tanxue's voice.
Who is Su Tanxue pleading for, Han Yan quickened his pace, and quickly appeared in that range following the voice, looking closely, Gu Qingyan was holding a whip in one hand, and his eyes were locked on the front.
Standing opposite Gu Qingyan was none other than Situ Haoyang, although Situ Haoyang had his hands drooping, he could see that he was secretly working hard, and his eyes were also full of ruthlessness when he looked at Gu Qingyan.
Both of them seemed to be breathing a little unsteadily, and the flowers and plants around them also showed signs of defeat, and they had just finished a few rounds of fighting.
And Su Tanxue stopped in front of Situ Haoyang, her eyes and tone were full of requests, begging the two to stop fighting and let each other go.
Gu Qingyan was willing, and said angrily: "You get out of the way, I need his life for the person behind you, you have no grudge against me, don't get in the way of me, it's naturally fine." ”
"Tanxue, get out of the way, this is not only a matter of this seat and Emperor Qinrui, but also a matter of Futu and Peach Blossom Stream, but also a matter of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty. None of this is your business. Situ Haoyang also said.
Su Tanxue was stubborn about this, and if she didn't let it, she wouldn't let it: "No, when is it time to retribution, is it so difficult to take a step back?" ”
Gu Qingyan didn't want to listen to her nonsense, and with a flick of the whip, the whip echoed around: "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being cruel." ”
As he spoke, he whipped away, and when Han Yan saw this, he didn't want to immediately block in front of Su Tanxue, grabbed Gu Qingyan's whip, and strangled it on his hand, feeling a pain.
"What do you do!" Gu Qingyan said angrily.
Han Yan didn't want to see Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue standing at opposite ends one day, one was his sister-in-law and the other was his sweetheart, he couldn't make a decision very decisively.
In terms of force value, Su Tanxue was obviously the weaker one, so when Gu Qingyan whipped down, he chose Su Tanxue's side without thinking about it.
"Girl."
"You're going to oppose me? Han Yan, you know that between me and Situ Haoyang, I will definitely have a result of his death! ”
"Even if it doesn't care about friendship?"
"Even if it doesn't care about friendship."
"You promised that you wouldn't hurt Tanxue."
"I only said, as much as I could, but she, right now, is protecting my enemies."
"Gu Qingyan! Is there no other way? ”
"Can you get her out of the way, then?"
This conversation went back and forth, and Han Yan also blurred his position, he wanted the two girls to be safe, but Gu Qingyan in front of him was pressing step by step.
Looking at Gu Qingyan's red eyes, Han Yan suddenly realized something, let go of the whip in his hand, and saw Gu Qingyan on the opposite side finding an opportunity to whip at him.
Han Yan suddenly remembered the phrase "don't forget your heart", and with a flash of inspiration, he also started an attack on Gu Qingyan, and after a few rounds, Han Yan knocked Gu Qingyan to the ground and said, "You are not her." She is eccentric, and there will be no way to alleviate the scene just now, and besides, she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart. ”
Walking out of the garden, Han Yan went all the way back to the main courtyard, and entered through the side door of the main house, he thought that Gu Qingyan would be here, but the house was empty, he went out of the house, and saw Gu Qingyan standing in the courtyard, holding his cloak in his hand, smiling at him, as if he was standing there waiting for him.
Moving his steps and walking over, Han Yan shouted uncertainly: "Gu Qingyan? ”
When the words fell, I saw Gu Qingyan take the initiative to walk towards him, and put the cloak on himself: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." Only then did Han Yan confirm that he had really returned to reality.
Gu Qingyan took him into the main house, Beiming and Dongqing appeared with two teenagers, saluted, watched tea, and then went down.
Gu Qingyan asked Han Yan: "How is it?" You should have a lot of questions for me, right? ”
Gu Qingyan said with a compassionate look on her face that as long as Han Yan asked, she would answer seriously.
"What's going on?"
"Blissful dwelling, the place that we use to train our minds, everything that you have just experienced is something that you don't want to reveal or that you are afraid to show in your heart, they may not be demons yet, but if you can't overcome them, they can become demons. And what Bliss wants to do is to let the people who come in here see their deepest fear clearly, and then control it. ”
As soon as Gu Qingyan said this, Han Yan understood: "How did I get into the illusion?" ”
"The sound of silk and bamboo, and the fragrance."
At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo is still there, Han Yan became vigilant, Gu Qingyan smiled: "Don't worry, it's just the sound of silk and bamboo now, the incense has been extinguished, and this tea is also in the antidote, it will be fine." ”
"All the people from Shimen have been here?"
"Well, the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and I, the East Fence, the South Ke Xi, the North Ming, the Twelve Ghost Guards, and my Shimen Shadow Guard must all pass through the Blissful Residence."
Only after experiencing the tempering of the mind, the wind and waves in the future will be regarded as calm, and the most timid thing for people is what they do not want to look at directly.
"But there is no limit to the number of times Blissfully dwells can be used, some people come to overcome their fears, some people come to see through themselves, and some people come to relax themselves, but either way, we only want those who go out of here to have a harvest."
"I think I have." Han Yan said, at this time, he had quietly made his own decision about some things in his heart, which was the harvest of this journey.
The two drank hot tea, rested and walked out, Gu Qingyan said that he wanted to take Han Yan to see the most dangerous place in Shimen, and Han Yan followed her.
"Do you know your eldest brother's demons?"
"The eldest brother's demon is a woman, and the second brother's he has never been willing to say it, and he has never shown any signs of it, so I don't know, the third brother said that he was sold by traffickers several times and sold into the juggling team."
"As for me, it's the fire and those ungrateful eyes, Beiming is similar to me, I don't know much about the east fence and the west, Nan Ke's seems to be related to his childhood experience."
"Twelve Ghost Guards, there are so many of them, I can't remember."
