Chapter 249: What Would If We Loved
This is the seventh time that Lu Linshuang has ridden Qiaoshan alone.
She likes Qiaoshan and likes the thick and dilapidated Ganzhen Palace.
Heavy rocks are stacked on top of each other, mountains are undulating, and deep valleys and caves are like turning and connecting. The green trees are thick enough to shade the sun and the moon, the vines are hanging and swaying in the wind, the rugged stone road seems to be impassable, but in fact the willows and flowers are bright, and the surface of the ridged stream leads straight ahead, but it actually winds back and forth.
The tall trees face the windows, and the green pines and cypress branches are intertwined, either slanted or lodging. The moss-dappled steps are dotted with green leaves and yellow stems of plants and trees, and the smell is strange.
Anyone who can visit here will definitely feel the loneliness and strangeness of this place.
In the past, how many princes and grandsons, light and slow, miss the mountains and rivers leisurely, so they came here by car, encountered the winding paths of the mountains, and admired the strange peaks and strange stones. Some are close to the windy places where the breath flows, and some are looking for the places where the mountains are swirling and the clouds are born.
This mountain has probably acquired the charm in the bones of the gods, the essence of yin and yang, and the happiness of lingering in it is not understandable to ordinary people, it is a special taste that is completely close to the gods and monsters.
The lone pine can make people resist the wind and frost of the years, and the strange stone can also prolong life, if you can't sit and lie down, play in it in spring and summer, and in the end it will only end up with the skin and white bones empty and rotten, and what is worth it left in the inner memory?
She often sat under the fragrant soul tree in a daze, sitting for a few hours, and the sound of the wind and cicadas in her ears made her heart finally calm.
Where her fingers had touched the Great Zhou Yang Dile Stone, the vermilion handwriting had been mottled, and the deep strangulation marks had also been weathered and peeled off by the years. The mediocre people who were alive and mediocre are described in the epitaph after death, all of them exhaust the noble and great morals of heaven and earth and the deeds that the common people can establish. It is the monarch's desire to be as virtuous as Yao Shun, and the minister's desire to be comparable to Yi Yin Gaotao.
[Note: I like this paragraph very much, borrowed from Luoyang Jialanji, it seems that the specific origin is not clear. 】
The wheels of history roll forward, and there are always people who are forgotten, but there is still something to remember that they once existed.
The walls of the pillars of the Ganzhen Palace are also engraved with the handwriting of Princess Qingping.
Princess Qingping, the younger sister of Emperor Yang of the Great Zhou, became a monk at the age of fifteen and stayed alone in the mountains for more than 50 years.
The mausoleum of Princess Qingping is in the back mountain, Lu Linshuang cut the road with a sword, and barely passed, and only a small mound remained, and the miscellaneous trees and weeds were barren.
This forgotten princess has no temple to worship, and now she can't even identify the tomb.
It took her three days to finally clean up the weeds on the tomb, and the broken bottles and cans were half-hidden in the soil, so she squatted on the ground and picked them up one by one and placed them.
In the scorching heat of June, there was residual heat in the mountains, Lu Linshuang went to the stream to clean, and drew the clean stream water back, sat on the ground, she slowly poured the water bladder, smiled bitterly, she said to herself, "You are a princess but lonely all your life, I am lucky to be the county lord, but I also have to be lonely for a lifetime, and I am sympathetic to the same disease." Replace wine with water and toast you. ”
How did Princess Qingping spend this long life in the mountains? Lu Linshuang didn't dare to think about it. In the auspicious light of the history books, she once heard that Emperor Yang loved this sister very much, because her father Emperor Jing and her mother Empress Xiaogong died one after another, Emperor Yang personally took her sister to her side to raise, but she couldn't help but this sister was bent on becoming a woman.
Fifteen years old, the same age as flowers, but he destroyed Shaohua and looked for the light heavenly harmony.
Judging from the scale of Princess Qingping's tomb, it must have been buried in a hurry, and it was a simple burial.
When Princess Qingping died, Da Zhou had died, and Emperor Yang had died for several years.
If Emperor Yang is here, he will be extremely glorified.
In other words, if the Great Zhou Guozuo is still there, Princess Qingping will not be like this.
Thinking of this, Lu Linshuang let out a sigh.
"What are you sad about?"
There was a low and light sound in his ears, and Lu Linshuang's body shook, but he didn't look up.
Xie Changxian stood with his sword in his hands, looking down at her condescendingly.
Lu Linshuang rubbed the pattern on the water bladder and shook her head, she laughed at herself, "It's nothing." ”
As he spoke, he put down the water bladder and continued to clean up the rubble.
Xie Changxian leaned against the tree, his gaze as deep as the sea moving with her figure.
She came to Utdan with King Ning and stayed in the inn all the time, but never went to the general's mansion to find him once.
Listening to the reports of her subordinates, she often wandered alone, since Qiaoshan was taken by him, she often went to Qiaoshan later.
What did she do in Qiaoshan?
Xie Changxian had been observing her in the forest for a long time.
It wasn't until she had rested for a while and continued to tirelessly clean the tomb that he couldn't help but show up.
After looking at it for a while, Xie Changxian said lightly, "Princess Qingping is the younger sister of Emperor Yang, and she was very loved when she was alive. If he had agreed to Emperor Yang's marriage at the right age, he would not have ended up in such a situation. ”
Lu Linshuang hummed, agreeing with his statement. Lazy people listen to books
Xie Chang saw that she didn't refute herself, and her heart was a little empty, and there was nameless anger.
When we used to study together, she loved to go against herself. Why don't you refute it now?
His tone was a few degrees colder, "So, take advantage of the good age and get married quickly." ”
Why didn't she understand what he meant?
Holding a piece of rubble in her hand and writing and painting on the ground, after a while, she got up, looked at his eyes quietly, and smiled reluctantly, "Xie Changxian, you let me marry, who can I marry?" If it's just for the sake of posthumous offerings, and there are descendants who can burn paper and send tea, I don't want to marry. ”
Xie Changxian pressed his anger, "You are a girl's family." ”
Lu Linshuang said, "How many souls and heroes have died in the wilderness, what am I?" ”
Her eyes were clear and calm, and there was a hint of despair.
He knew that he had given this trace of despair.
What would have happened if he had persuaded himself to take that step out at that time?
Will it last forever?
No, it won't.
He didn't have a later, so neither did he and her.
But if he marries her, he won't meet Yan Wushuang.
Yes, you won't meet Musou.
That cold-hearted girl.
Yan Wushuang made him go crazy in pain, and it was nothing more than that.
He has done things that are contrary to human morality, and heaven and earth despise him.
What is his face to live in this world?
Living in this world is another kind of torment for him.
He just wanted to end this ordeal as soon as possible.
Seeing the pain on his face, Lu Linshuang said, "I know what you want to do." You never thought about the future, so, at that time, you didn't think about our future either. It's that I didn't understand it at the time. ”
She said sadly, "I have figured out many things, but the more I think about it, the more sad I feel." At that time, you looked at me so seriously, and said those words to me, and you were going to be happy when you saw it, and you left me and left. I figured it out, only to feel more sad. ”
She crouched down, her eyes red.
He was determined to die generously, and the day was getting closer and closer, how could she not be sad?
"His Royal Highness King Ning told me that the order of appearance determines the ending, but why did you marry her?"
You can marry me, too.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Xie Changxian endured the pain, closed his eyes, and said dejectedly, "Shuangshuang, it's me who can't live with you." If there is a next life, there is a next life......"
Lu Linshuang's tears finally flowed, "But Xie Changxian, I'm so afraid that our life is the next life that I said in my previous life." ”
These words made Xie Changxian's eyes moisten.
Lu Linshuang took a deep breath, "You say, what would have happened if we had been together." ”
What would have happened if they had fallen in love in the first place?
Before he could think about it, a shout came from the forest, "General Xie, General Xie!" ”
In an instant, Xie Changxian's expression returned to normal, "What's the matter?" ”
The herald glanced at Lu Linshuang, but still spoke, "Xie Youyi, the governor of Jingzhou, is here...... To see the general. ”
Xie Changxian looked at the sword in his hand, and said indifferently, "He really came." ”
