Chapter 402: The Kyushu Disaster (I)
"The bones are extremely beautiful, but the sky is lonely? Lonely is widowed...... or silent, or unemotional, or indecisive......" Liu Jing pondered for a moment.
Xue Fan's eyes lit up, and he looked at King Song who had already believed this, and listened to King Song's words: "Can the chief of the Xuan Dao be in the jade capital?" ”
Xue Fan nodded.
"Can the little gentleman take the widow to visit his old man?"
Xue Fan said: "My master doesn't want to be disturbed, so he doesn't reveal his whereabouts easily, but he said that if His Highness insists on seeing him, he will not refuse, after all, His Highness is not an ordinary man." ”
"Then I'm going to bother Mr. Little."
So the two of them left the White Jade Palace in a chariot.
The chariot slowly walked on the streets of Yudu, Liu Jing looked at the capital of the Song Kingdom in the snow, coming and going, going and returning, familiar and unfamiliar. The city is still this city, but things are not people.
Xue Fan was secretly happy in his heart: "I didn't expect that if I didn't abandon my brother's writing, this King Song would be so easy to coax!" ”
The chariot went out of the city gate, and Xue Fan guided the coachman to the peach forest on the bank of the Peach Blossom Creek on the outskirts of the city. There was no one in the forest, and the chariot passed by the tomb of King Qi Ai and the tavern that Liu Jing used to frequent, without stopping. At the end of the peach grove is a dense wood. After walking along the remote path in the forest for a long time, Liu Jing heard a faint lyre sound in the distance, and Xue Fan asked the coachman to stop.
"Your Highness, this is my master's residence."
Liu Jing saw that there was an old thatched hut deep in the dry trees, the thick straw hut was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the sound of the piano dispersed from the thatched hut, which was simple and clear, like the sound of the sky.
Liu Jing followed Xue Fan to step on the snow, and the coachman followed, and Xue Fan looked back at the coachman from time to time. Seeing this, Liu Jing said to the coachman: "The chief of the Xuan Dao doesn't like outsiders to disturb, so you can stay outside and guard." ”
The coachman hesitated: "Your Highness, General Ling specially instructed the villain before leaving, if His Highness leaves the palace, he must let the villain protect His Highness......"
Liu Jing said: "Do you listen to Ling Fei or listen to the widow?" With your efforts, can you protect the widow? Take good care of the carriages and horses. ”
The coachman had to stop.
Xue Fan stepped into the thatched house and saluted to the figure behind the bamboo curtain: "Master, Xiao Fan is back." His Royal Highness King Song also came. ”
The sound of the piano was incessant, without the slightest pause.
Through the bamboo curtain, Liu Jing saw that the chief of Xuan Dao was dressed in gray clothes, which seemed to be light after washing a touch of ink in the clear water. His silver hair is down, he has no crown, and when he plays the piano, his body moves with the music, and he has the feeling of flowing water.
Liu Jing stood in place, waiting for the old man behind the bamboo curtain to finish playing a song he had never heard before saluting: "Senior Liu Jing, I heard that the Taoist chief is here, and I came to see you." ”67
The old man bowed slightly, put the piano aside, picked up the pen again, and motioned for Xue Fan to come to his side. The old man wrote a few words and asked Xue Fan to send them to Liu Jing.
Liu Jing saw the words on the paper, but his strength was insufficient, so he thought that the Xuan Dao was old for a long time, and he definitely didn't have much strength. The words of those fairy wind bones are: "The thicker the wind and snow outside the house, the gentleman does not need to stay longer." ”
Liu Jing said: "Thank you for your concern. The juniors didn't dare to disturb the Taoist more, but when they came to pay their respects on this trip, they did have something to ask the Taoist chief, and they hoped that the Taoist chief could help the younger generations to relieve their hearts. ”
After that, Liu Jing waited for a while, but he didn't hear the old man's answer. Xue Xianxi explained: "I forgot to tell Your Highness that my master was dumb due to a vicious illness when he was a child and could not speak. ”
Liu Jing saluted again and said, "The younger generation is reckless." ”
The old man wrote at his desk again. After writing, he motioned for Xue Fan to go over and take it.
After going back and forth, Xue Fan handed a piece of paper to Liu Jing's hand, and the paper wrote: "The gentleman is healthy, he is in his prime, what is the disease?" The gentleman sits on the world and rules the lives of all people, so why do you ask for your life so much? ”
Liu Jing pondered, behind the bamboo curtain, Liu Ying, pretending to be an old man, was holding a pen in one hand and hiding under the case with the other, dragging a thin rope. As long as the string is pulled, the mechanism on the top of the thatched hut will be opened, and at that time, dozens of arrows soaked in the secret poison of Yaowang Mountain will fly towards Liu Jing at the same time.
Liu Ying had mixed feelings in her heart: "At the peak of the peerless peak, the snow was falling, and you forced me to jump off the cliff with an arrow array, causing my father-in-law's life!" Today, too, I can take your life with arrows!
But if I do that, how will I be different from you back then?
If you die, the entire Song Kingdom will be buried for you under the swords, guns, swords, and halberds of the Chu army! And I'm ...... After all, I also have half of the Song blood. I just don't have the ability to compete with you for the throne of King Song that shouldn't belong to you in the first place.
Moreover, everyone knows that you are Liu En's father...... Their mother and daughter, even if they hate you, they definitely don't want you to really die. Liu Jing, Liu Jing, what kind of virtue and ability can you make Shu'er silently face you and protect you from the distance from beginning to end?
Today your life is in my hands, and you can only be used by me! ”
At this time, Liu Jing replied: "Don't hide the long words, the younger generation is actually ...... The heart is hard. The younger generation doesn't know how to treat this heart disease. In the past few years, the younger generations have asked the immortals several times, but every time they feel that the 'immortals', 'Fangshi', and 'divine doctors' they meet are all flatterers, so they have to give up. But when the younger generation talked to Mr. Xue Xiao today, he suddenly realized ...... Suddenly, I felt that I had a deep relationship with the Taoist chief, and I seemed to be familiar. The Taoist said that the juniors have two identities and are in a dilemma, so they already know the juniors very well. According to what Mr. Xiao said, it is also very appropriate. ”
The old man was silent, and slowly moved the lyre to the front, playing an ancient rhyme that Liu Jing had never heard before.
Most of the lyre songs composed by King Zhou Le have been passed down to this day, and the ancient songs of the Great Zhou Dynasty before him have long disappeared. Liu Ying's play is the disappearing ancient song hidden in the ancient tomb of King Zhou on the isolated island of Xuanji. This kind of ancient song, because of its obscure score, the style of the song is bland, and requires the pianist to be skilled, the left and right hands each hold a song, and the two songs blend into a rhyme, so it is difficult to spread in the world.
Liu Ying learned the piano with Zhuge Escape when he was a child, and Zhuge Escape asked him to play those ancient songs that were difficult to circulate in order to train his patience. Xuanji Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, his stepfather is happy and quiet, and there are no playmates of the same age on the island, Liu Ying naturally felt extremely bored as a child, and in comparison, it is not boring to study those strange ancient songs.
When he was a child, he learned things quickly and remembered them very clearly, and at this time, familiar tunes seemed to take him back to the island where no one disturbed him.
Liu Jingzheng was at a loss, and Xue Fanxiao said to him: "Your Highness, don't blame, my master plays the piano, not to bombard His Highness and leave." He plays a tune that clears people's minds. Since His Highness has come to cure heart disease, he knows that heart disease cannot be cured by medicine stones. There are clouds in medical books - the medical heart needs to be explained, and the explanation is to relieve depression and eliminate all diseases. Your Highness, you may wish to calm down and listen to my master play the piano, and while listening, tell my master what you want to say. ”
