126. Sideburns dyed frost

Anwar, who was leaning back on the bamboo, looked indifferently at the gray sky in front of him, his dark eyes were full of calm, several of the three thousand green silks were dyed silver and white, scattered in his ears, Anwar closed his eyes gently, and unconsciously, this was the third year that he had been waiting for her to come back here.

On the banks of the Falling Dust River, this is the place where they first met. I never thought that three years ago and three years later, I would never think that if I didn't return to people, I would still not return to people.

The gray sky gradually blurred, and the beautiful smile of the woman in Tsing Yi in her memory became more and more shaky and bright in front of her eyes. Touching the coolness of the raindrops with your fingertips can't help but shiver in your body. After a long time, the sky gradually cleared, and Anwar sighed that the wordless ending was still silent after all, and in the end, maybe only this fickle sky was accompanied by Lonely.

Brushing the long hair mixed with a few silver and white hairs in his ears, Anwar slowly stood up with the bamboo, looked into the distance, and saw a child playing with a doll made of straw in his hand, and the doll's shadow was reflected in the ground vividly. Anwar's heart moved, and he hurried back to the palace to order someone to cut cotton silk into a phoenix image, paint his clothes in cyan color, and install wooden poles on his hands and feet.

Invite folk artists who are good at performing lantern and shadow plays, gather around the square curtains at night, put up lanterns and candles, and Anwar sits in the tent to watch, through this wonderful lantern and shadow play, to recall the woman in Tsing Yi who has missed him for many years but has not returned.

Emperor Liang Zhan of Nanyue was infected with a disease, and all the imperial doctors in the palace tried their best to treat him, and three years have passed, but not only can they not cure him, but it is getting worse day by day.

Liang Zhan himself knew that this was nothing more than lovesickness.

Deliberately let people plant a few purple acacia flowers in the back garden, he often trance in front of this garden full of flowers, and even the purple in front of his blurred eyes turned cyan. In this palace, he waited for a woman who did not return, and waited for three years.

Liu Changhuan has been staying by Liang Zhan's side, knowing Liang Zhan's situation very well, thinking that there is no one in Nanyue who can be treated, and there should be someone outside Nanyue who can be healed. Liu Changhuan specially asked Liang Zhan to let him out of the palace, and when he returned dozens of days later, Liu Changhuan walked to the Guanghua Hall and brought back a surprising and surprising news.

Liu Changhuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that there is a half-fairy who is enthusiastic about saving people and admired by 10,000 people on Lilan Mountain in North Vietnam, and it is rumored that the half-fairy has lived for hundreds of years, and many people who have incurable diseases in North Vietnam will go to Lilan Mountain to save her for treatment, and anyone who has been there can be cured, and the minister also heard that the priest position above 10,000 people under one person in Beiyue is only set up for half-fairies, and the ceremonies held in the past three years are presided over by the priests, which means that the half-fairies have served as priests in North Vietnam, since she is a priest of North Vietnam, she is also a minister of the king of North Vietnam, Why didn't the emperor communicate with the king of Beiyue and ask him to send a priest from Beiyue to come and treat you? ”

Liang Zhan's eyes were unwavering, he slowly closed his eyes, and said in his heart: How can a half-fairy be considered a half-immortal, why is she willing to be a courtier for mortals? Since she is willing to be a courtier for mortals, she must also hope to benefit the people, but will she be cured of my disease?

Feng Yuanzhi disappeared in the fire three years ago, Liang Zhan didn't think about seeing people alive and corpses when he died, but the Feng Mansion was burned to ashes, and Feng Yuanzhi's body couldn't be found at all.

If she had already fled, why hadn't she returned? If she had died in that fire, would the half-fairy help him find news about Feng Yuanzhi's death?

Liang Zhan thought for a long time about whether the half-fairy could help him find the news about Feng Yuanzhi, looked at Liu Changhuan and said, "Even so, I also want to meet the half-fairy." ”

Liang Zhan has been in the palace for three years, he has never been to An Zhan Shenjun Palace, I heard that the palace has been less and less pilgrims in the past two or three years, although he has never believed that An Zhan Shenjun can really make people realize their wishes, but looking for Feng Yuanzhi for three years can not find her, so he decided to go to the palace to make a wish, thinking that An Zhan Shenjun may approve his wish.

After retiring from the court one day, Liang Zhan only took Liu Changhuan out of the palace as in the past, and when the two walked to the door of the palace, they found that there were only two pilgrims inside, an adult and a child, who looked like a pair of mother and son, kneeling in front of the statue of An Zhan Shenjun.

After the two of them knelt down, the little boy asked, "Mother, why do they all say that An Zhan Shenjun is becoming less and less effective?" Since it is becoming less and less effective, then why do we still come here to offer incense? You see, it's just the two of us who want to come here now. ”

The woman replied softly: "Chuan'er, in the past, my mother begged An Zhan Shenjun for a son, so that I would have you, although in recent years, I don't know why it has not worked, but after all, Shenjun is kind to my mother, and my mother can't forget this great grace no matter what." ”

Liang Zhan took a breath and sighed lightly: "I really didn't expect that in this palace that used to be side by side, there are now only four people left, including you and me. ”

Liu Changhuan said: "Childe, Changhuan has also come here to make a wish before, the last time he made a wish was three years ago, at that time Changhuan's wish was to hope that Gongzi would win a big victory in the battle of the city gate, and then the battle of the city gate really won, although I don't know if it was blessed by An Zhan Shenjun, Chang Huan has always believed that An Zhan Shenjun has always been benefiting our Nanyue. ”

Liang Zhan walked forward a few steps lightly, and when the little boy saw Liang Zhan, his eyes widened in surprise, and said, "Mother, this uncle looks like An Zhan Shenjun, is he An Zhan Shenjun, who came down to earth today?" ”

The woman said: "Of course not, a few years ago, we refuted rumors all over the streets of Kyoto, saying that this son is the eldest young master of An Shangshu Mansion............"

When the woman said this, her heart suddenly trembled, and she remembered that the eldest young master of An Shangshu Mansion was the fourth prince of the first emperor, so she quickly knelt down and said in a panic: "The people don't know that the emperor has arrived, please forgive the emperor." ”

When the little boy saw his mother kneeling, he also knelt down to Liang Zhan with him, and kowtowed to his mother as he knelt.

Liang Zhan said softly: "It's okay, I traveled in disguise today, it's normal that you didn't recognize it." ”

The woman kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After the woman and his son stepped back together, Liang Zhan raised his head and looked at the statue carefully, and said lightly, "It is indeed very similar." ”

North Vietnam, Royal Palace, Zhenghua Palace.

I heard that the emperor of Nanyue wanted to invite a half-fairy to go to Nanyue, and the priests of Beiyue had a very high status, although they were still the courtiers of Wang Jun, and they were above 10,000 people under one person, but Wang Jun also had to give three points of face, and Gao Zhengce still had to ask Wan Qing himself for his opinion on inviting priests to go abroad.

After returning from the Lilan Mountain, she can clearly feel the changes in her body, for example, when she walks, she feels that her steps are much lighter than before, and her senses of sight, smell, hearing, and touch are much more sensitive than before.

In his dormitory, Wan Qing deliberately condensed his consciousness on the tea bowl on the table, and beckoned gently, and the tea bowl slowly flew from the table to his hand.

"Knock knock." Three tones.

When Wan Qing heard the knock on the door, she quickly withdrew her hand, put the tea bowl back on the table, and walked up to open the door.

The maid blessed her body and said, "Lord Priest, the king invites you to go to the Zhenghua Palace." ”

Wan Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that Gao Zhengce rarely summoned herself to Zhenghua Hall on weekdays, and asked, "Do you know why Wang Jun suddenly came to me?"

The maid shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

Waiting for the maid to retreat respectfully outside the door, Wan Qing recalled the half-immortal technique taught to her by the half-fairy, but failed to find a technique related to teleportation, so she could only try to condense her divine sense to see if she could teleport, but after a long time, there was no change.

Wan Qing frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "It seems that a half-fairy is still a half-fairy after all, and she can't fly around like a fairy." ”

Wan Qing thought to herself, the half-fairy can only be regarded as half an immortal after all, the immortal art is not high, and now she is just being crossed by the spiritual power, Wan Qing thought of this, lowered her eyes, and walked to the Zhenghua Palace.

Gao Zhengce saw Wan Qing coming from outside the hall alone, smiled lightly, and said, "Wan Qing, why don't you let the maid follow you?"

Wan Qing raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "You know that the maid following me will make me uncomfortable." ”

Gao Zhengce bent his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, you sit down first, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Wan Qing sat down and asked lightly, "Gao Zhengce, do you have anything to discuss with me?" ”

Gao Zhengce was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Emperor Nanyue is sick, the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, and some courtiers in the court told the emperor that there is a half-fairy in Beiyue, and said that maybe only a half-fairy can save him, and this half-fairy is being a priest in my North Vietnam, so he sent someone to me to spread the news here, and I want to ask you to go over to treat him." ”

Wan Qing rolled her eyes, and said secretly in her heart: I am a priest of North Vietnam, yes, but I am just a fake half-fairy, and the half-immortal technique that has been passed on is not used smoothly, do I know how to save people?

Gao Zhengce looked at Wan Qing's face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wan Qing shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "Why do you think I can cure him?" What if I can't cure it, but it's embarrassing? ”

Gao Zhengce waved his hand and smiled: "The person sent by Nanyue is still in the palace now, it is better to do this, I will let him wait in this palace for ten days and half a month, and wait for you to think about it slowly." ”

Wan Qing waved her hand and said with a smirk: "Don't wait, let them all go back." ”

Princess Wan'er didn't know when she hid behind the curtain, and when she heard that her father was going to send Wan Qing to Nanyue, she suddenly poked her head, and then heard Wan Qing's refusal, she walked out directly from behind the curtain, took Wan Qing's hand, and said: "Sister Wan Qing, I heard that there are many interesting places in Nanyue, and my father told me that there is a big street in Kyoto in Nanyue, what is it called........... Three......... Sanli Street, there is a very sacred river, it seems to be called Luochen, Sister Wanqing, I heard that those places are fun, can you promise your father to go to Nanyue Kyoto, and then bring Wan'er with you? ”

Princess Wan'er knew that Wan Qing was going to shake her head and refuse, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Wan Qing, Wan'er is really panicked in this palace, if you don't agree to Wan'er and take Wan'er to Nanyue, Wan'er will have to let you marry my father." ”

Wan Qing opened her lips in some surprise, thinking that who secretly taught her what this said, and after being stunned for a long time, she hurriedly smiled to hide her embarrassment and said: "Wan'er, I won't go to Nanyue, but I will try to take you out of the palace to play as much as possible in the future, is this good?" ”

Princess Wan'er shook her head vigorously and said, "No, either go to Nanyue or marry my father." ”

Wan Qing was embarrassed, raised her eyes and looked at Gao Zhengce, thinking that this Gao Zhengce was probably not interesting to herself, this Wan'er had embarrassed herself a lot in the past three years, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Gao Zhengce, since Wan'er wants me to take her to Nanyue, then I will agree." ”

Gao Zhengce bent his eyebrows, squatted down and scraped the bridge of Princess Wan'er's nose, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, you are so smart, now you can enjoy the mountains and rivers again." ”

Princess Wan'er straightened her face and said seriously: "Father, why did Sister Wanqing prefer to take me to Nanyue rather than marry you after I said that if she didn't want to take me to Nanyue, she would marry you?" Is there something wrong with you that makes Sister Wanqing dislike? ”

Hearing this, Wan Qing turned her head even more embarrassed.

She thought to herself that she and Gao Zhengce were ruthless at all, and this little clever ghost was really not worrying.

But if you want to treat Emperor Nanyue, can you do it yourself? It's just a fake half-fairy, who can't cure the emperor if she goes there, won't she be laughed at?

But in order to avoid the greater embarrassment of marrying Gao Zhengce, he had to respond.

After going to Nanyue to treat Emperor Nanyue, Wan Qing hurriedly returned to the dormitory, brought a basin of cold water and kept washing his face, his face was still very hot, Wan Qing exhaled a long breath and said, "Just marry Gao Zhengce, what am I blushing about?" ”

looked at the reflection in the water again, and said: "But Gao Zhengce has long stopped touching women for his wife who died in childbirth, and I am at most just a very good drinking friend of him. ”

Well, it seems that the choice to go to Nanyue was done right.

Wan Qing wiped her face dry, and began to meditate, the immortal recipe that was transmitted to her mind when the half-fairy crossed her half-immortal power that day, followed by those small and difficult memories to put together, and carried the half-immortal technique.

Suddenly, the picture of a woman in Tsing Yi drinking in the peach blossom forest flashed in his mind, and then the picture of the woman in Tsing Yi fighting with the flower elf in the fairy heavenly palace flashed, and the two pictures flashed and suddenly replaced with the picture of the woman in Tsing Yi and a man in white hugging, making love, falling off the cliff, getting drenched in the rain, and killing the enemy, Wan Qing shook her head vigorously and came back to her senses, "Why do these pictures flash in my mind from time to time?" Could it be that these are all things that I have experienced before? ”
