Great Chu State.

This is in Yangchun, this is in Jinyang.

The evening has just passed, the sun has just set, and the cornices of the moonlight silhouette of the West Building are like a thin layer of raccoon veil. The warm wind dissolves the waves, and a tree and green peach show a misty state in the night, which is demonic and melancholy.

Bo Yi stood by the half-open and half-closed window, a few rays of moon light shone on his face carved in pink and jade, and the white light and shadow made his still immature face show a bit of heroism at the beginning, which made people predict that he would be extraordinary in the future.

At this time, the Shangguan Mansion is already silent, the boundless night covers all the noise and prosperity in the daytime, and the fireworks of the world are also removed, only a few insects and birds sing with the quiet of the night, and the beautiful posture of night psychedelia is lingering, and a few chirps from time to time add glory to the lonely rivers and mountains.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps, like cats and rabbits.

Bo Yizheng came back to his senses, even if the sudden sound of footsteps was almost inaudible, he was still really in his ears by the alert man!

Who will it be? Here, at Shangguan's house......

Before the thought came to him, he frowned and walked quickly along the source of the footnote to the door, and shouted in a loud tone through the door panel: "What person! ”

The man standing outside the door seemed to be silenced, and immediately froze outside.

Bo Yi's gathered eyebrows stretched and wrinkled, holding his breath and pausing for a moment, he suddenly raised his hand to pull the two door panels apart with a "bang".

Because this behavior came so abruptly, that the people outside the door were not adequately prepared, so they were so stunned and stiffened, and they just happened to look at each other face to face with Boyi.

Bo Yi was also stunned, in his eyes was a little girl in a blue dress and jade skirt, with black hair obliquely pulling the clouds in a bun, her face was as pure as a hibiscus out of water, and there was no decoration between her snow-white neck, her slender collarbone stretched all the way from the shoulders of the jade, and the breasts that had not yet fully developed were constantly rising and falling due to shortness of breath and slight timidity. The little girl was staring at him blankly with a pair of big watery eyes, these eyes were like the eyes of a deer, vaguely frightened, but even more pitiful.

The night light is clear, the evening breeze is blowing, such a sudden spring first encounter, under the eaves, peach blossoms are in the sky, both of them are so at a loss to look at each other, for a while their minds are dusty, they can't say many words, so they have to watch quietly, that is, even the rushing time seems to be still at this moment!

Fortunately, Bo Yi was not slow to respond, and the influence of being born in the royal family made him much calmer than ordinary folk children since he could remember. After a short time, he woke up, and let go of the breath that had been hanging in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to inquire, when he suddenly heard a rude and noisy voice from the corner of the corridor not far away: "Quick, catch her!" Don't let her run away - it should be this way! ”

The little girl shook her body, and she turned her eyes to see that her smart and kind eyes were looking at her with great pity.

This gaze is too clear, and it is clear to the bottom, as if it does not belong to the things that should be in this filthy world...... Boyi's heart moved for no reason, and for a while he seemed to smell the sandalwood incense of the Brahma Buddha empowerment, and the Sanskrit sound was like a tide, and the white horse bloomed, and he suddenly understood what the so-called "pure glass" in the Zen canon looked like!

It's the girl's gaze, it must be......

He raised his lips and smiled, a warm glow rippling in his pupils. Without saying much, he took the little girl by the sleeve, pulled her into the room with all his might, and then closed the door very quickly.

"Hey......" the little girl subconsciously wanted to say.

"Shh Bo Yi hurriedly raised his hand to his lips, "Don't make a sound." Anxiously whispered to her.

The little girl was busy silencing, knowing his intentions, bent her eyes and nodded silently.

Her smile made Bo Yi a little dizzy, and the temperature of her cheeks seemed abnormal. He suddenly didn't dare to look at her directly, and quickly turned his head in another direction sharply, looking very hasty.

The little girl was amused by his embarrassment, and suddenly realized that she was in this situation and suddenly retracted herself, and took a breath and walked lightly behind the screen, but she couldn't help but look back at him.

......A soft knock on the door rang out.

Bao Yi collected his mind and did not move: "Who? ”

The knock on the door stopped, and the humble and respectful voice of the head of the guard came one after another: "Your Majesty disturbed the rest of the second prince, it is really a mistake, but the situation is urgent, please make it convenient for the second prince to open the door......"

"Presumptuous!" was interrupted by a loud voice.

The guards outside, who were holding down their emotions and impatience to make this humble attitude, were visibly silent.

Bo Yi walked a few steps to the door, no longer through the door panel, but opened the door with a "swish", glanced at him, and made a cold face: "Since I know that I have disturbed the rest of this prince, I don't know how to retreat!" In the evening, I asked the prince to open the door for you. He raised his eyebrows, clasped his arms and leaned against the edge of the door, his tone was playful and uninhibited, "Hey, the door is open, what do you want?" ”

The chief of the guard and the group of people behind him were all stunned for a moment, only to feel that the temper of the second prince was so unreasonable? They originally wanted the second prince to open the door and ask for a letter, but how could they anger the little ancestor in the house before they finished saying this? After thinking about it, I felt that Xu didn't make it clear, and the leading guard had to accompany him with a smile again: "The second prince misunderstood, the minister didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, it was a thief in the Shangguan Mansion, and the minister saw that the person ran this way, and there was no shadow in a blink of an eye, so he wanted to ask the second prince where he could see ......."

"Oh." Bao Yi interrupted him again, a playful smile flowed on his childish face, and he glanced at him and said, "Do you suspect that this prince is the thief?" "My mind has turned a few times, and I vaguely understand what this is all about. But that little girl is soft and weak no matter how she looks at it, and she doesn't look like a thief!

This time, he accompanied his father and went to Jinyang from Kyoto to visit the people's livelihood, and the foothold of this time was the Shangguan Mansion in Jinyang. Who is the little girl, the emperor Lao Tzu is sitting in the old mansion of Shangguan, she dares to come wantonly?

A series of questions and a series of questions seemed to understand, and the guard no longer had a good attitude: "No, no, no." He hurriedly replied, his eyes were wrong, and he just happened to see that there seemed to be some dark shadow fluctuations behind the screen in the room. His eyebrows flickered, and he was slightly suspicious, and he turned his head and gestured to the people behind him to force himself into the house.

Bo Yizheng raised his hand to block them firmly, naturally understanding that they were going to go in and search for the little girl. He shouldn't have been blind about this, but somehow the ghost sent him to make peace with him: "It's really getting more and more presumptuous to say that you are presumptuous!" The ink-like eyebrows and Lang's eyes were heavy again, "What, seeing that this prince is young and doesn't take this prince seriously, can you go in and out of the bedroom with your heart!" After that, he deliberately made a thin snort and spoke harshly.

Knowing that this little ancestor must be in a demonic obstacle today, this bedroom must be really impossible to enter! The chief of the guard let out a long sigh, and finally accepted his fate and stopped wearing out with him, and made a bow and left with a group of brothers, his expression was very helpless.

Bao Yi did not rush to go back with the door closed, but waited with Yuehua squinting his eyes until the figure was getting farther and farther away, and after turning the corridor and disappearing, Fang retreated with peace of mind and closed the door and turned back.

The little girl had already walked out from behind the light ink landscape embroidery screen with her hands and feet. The conversation between Fang Cai Boyi and the guards was all in her ears, and it was already clear that he was the second prince who was quite favored by the emperor's side. Because of this relationship, a pretty face like a spring flower looked at him and lost the intimacy and cuteness of Fang Cai.

But Bo Yi didn't care too much, stood with his arms crossed, and bowed slightly towards the little girl: "Say, who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

He thought that his tone was not harsh, and he also thought that his appearance was not ugly and annoying, but this little girl put on a stupid posture, and her expression and tone were too indifferent than Fang Cai's movements like a rabbit: "I knew that you were a prince, and I was arrested to punish the crime, and I was beaten by my father's family law board, and I would not drill into your house by mistake!" "The tone is negative, but people don't mean to leave. She knew that the guards outside were searching for her, and she was angry, but she still felt safe to stay here.

"Why?" At that time, Bao Yi was still a child in the end, and the childishness was too late to take off, and when he saw the little girl, she suddenly became indifferent like a changed person, and he only felt that a heart in his chest suddenly went down.

The situation was too tense, and the two of them only glanced at each other. Now that he was surrounded by candle shadows and shadows, he could see the specific appearance of this little girl.

He is the prince and has lived in the palace since he was a child, but he has been so beautiful and red that he has been prosperous several times, and he has never seen a wonderful face born with half the beauty of this little girl...... This kind of beauty seems to be mixed with the floating light and broken gold in the sky, as if the morning glow and twilight clouds are embedded in it, as if the most extreme pearl jade is by her side, and it has also been reduced to the point that it is not even the most humble foil!

He has grown so big, and in the past ten years, he has never seen such a beautiful face, and there is something more magnificent than this......

The skin of Boyi is also a good skin, elite delicate, pearlescent jade bones stacked out of the splendid people, but the charm is not stained and a little exclusive to the kitsch of gold and luxury jade, from the inside to the outside of the faint sense of elegance silhouette is a little ethereal, the more alone it is especially obvious.

It's just that this look of skin failed to make the little girl in front of her bend her waist. Whether it is a powerful position or a beautiful appearance, he has taken it away, but he can't seem to hold her to move her heart slightly.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that she is only nine years old, but the second prince of Great Chu, Boyi, is only eleven years old.

"Why don't you know about it yourself and still come to ask me?" The little girl's face was puffed up, but she didn't know that this puffing appearance was also very smart and cute in the eyes of Bo Yi, and her smile and smile were like a magic barrier to pull him to follow a smile. She glanced at him, her eyes were bright, "You royal people came to our Shangguan family, just to take away our Shangguan family's treasure 'Tourmaline Soul Attracting Rabbit'!" Such unreasonable, Akari is my father who agreed to the offering, in fact, where do we dare to make the slightest reluctance to come? It's really the same as a robber! "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and at her age, she can still vaguely get the edge of "Tong Yan".

Bo Yi felt a "sigh" in his heart, he knew a little about the famous treasure of the Shangguan family in Jinyang, and he also understood that his father had always been concerned about this treasure: "Those are all adult things, and I don't know much about ......" blurted out a little anxiously. He just wanted to make this little girl happy, but at this time he was bewitched in his heart, and it was only the little girl in front of him, "Okay, okay, don't be angry!" I, I'll compensate you for my father. Before the words fell, he stretched his robe and raised his hand to her again and again.

The little girl stared at him sideways for a long time, then suddenly smiled "sneering", raised her finger and curled her finger at the orchid and nodded her lips.

She has no temper, because her image of the good-looking second prince in front of her is admittedly good: "I'm not angry. The tone cavity became a little playful, "'Cause I've put the baby ...... Phew, the tourmaline soul rabbit has been stolen, you see! As she spoke, she leaned her fingers into the hem of the lotus leaf sleeve that hooked a circle of light jade lace, and in a moment, a white rabbit the size of a wrench finger was held out in her palm.

The scenery of the four fields that was immersed in the shadow of the dissolving candle emitted colorful light when it landed on the ground, as if Qiongtai Wonderland, the universe Penglai, the clouds were steaming, and the sun and the moon were rising!

And this dazzling dizziness was only for a moment, as abrupt as when it came, and then it was disillusioned and extinguished in an instant, and was absorbed into the inch-long body of the little rabbit.

Bo Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and he was easy to indulge when he was surprised, and he lost his prestige when he was vertical: "You, you, you, you are a little girl who doesn't even know martial arts, you dare to ......" The words became a little stammering, some incoherent, I don't know whether I was stunned by the brilliance that Fang Cai spewed out of the rabbit body, or by the bold actions of this little girl, "Let this prince see!" This rabbit, this ......" stopped suddenly, and hurriedly frowned and explained, "This prince either has other ideas, or it is that your Jinyang Shangguan family uses it as an heirloom...... This tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit has surpassed my diligent and loving father in foreign fame! I'm curious, I'm curious! So I want to see what kind of treasure it is. ”

Bo Yi didn't lie.

The Shangguan family of Jinyang, one of the three major families of Great Chu, has roots dating back hundreds of years. The birthplace is the dragon city of Jinyang, and its rise is in Kyoto.

At that time, the Great Chu was initially decided, and the small nights in the four seas had not yet been eliminated, and the people's hearts were difficult to stabilize. There is General Shangguan Shun who wholeheartedly follows the emperor of Great Chu, breaks the thieves and quells the chaos, and repeatedly performs miraculous feats, and his prestige is sung far and wide, and it is a great legend of Great Chu for a while.

The world gradually settled, and Emperor Chu could no longer do without General Shun, and he was really grateful to him, giving him a high-ranking official and rewarding him for a hundred years without worry.

Out of the righteousness in his heart, and out of the pride of the spring breeze with a bright future, Shangguan Shun decided to stay in the imperial capital to escort the Chu Emperor, so he moved the family from Jinyang to the imperial capital.

Because of their reliance, the Shangguan lineage after the relocation of the capital has developed and grown in the imperial city, and there are countless people who are officials, businessmen, emperor's wives and concubines who enter the palace, and have been good friends with the royal family for a hundred years; However, because of the admonition of "unity and harmony" in the family motto, the Shangguan people perform their duties but unite and help each other, thriving day by day, and there is no disorder or disorder.

But the good times didn't last long, and after a hundred years of the mythical General Shangguan Shun, the powerful Shangguan family was wiped out overnight!

The family is big and the business is big, and it is common for people to occasionally have enmities and grievances, but it really responds to the saying that "things must be opposed". Therefore, the world is just sighing, and over time, it will gradually fade.

But in fact, what really brought ruin to the Shangguan family was the heirloom of the Shangguan family-tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit.

This tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit has been passed down from generation to generation in the Shangguan lineage, and has been passed down in the ancestral hall and passed down to the patriarchs of the past dynasties.

How did this tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit come about, because of its age, no one knows it gradually, but its famous name is the mighty and brave general Shangguan Shun who is sung all over the world.

It is said that this tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit can live the dead, can flesh and bones, can bring the deceased back to the soul, and can reverse the life chart; Those who cultivate the Tao can fly to immortals in the daytime, and ordinary people can prolong their lives for a hundred years...... In short, the prestige of this tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit has become more and more strange and prosperous with the passage of time, and it has attracted all the people of the world to yearn for and be interested in it for more than 100 years.

In this way, the extermination of the Shangguan family is really inseparable from the people of the world snatching the tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit!

At that time, there were also a few people in the Shangguan family who escaped the tragedy of extermination, and they moved back to the old house in Jinyang in a panic. In order to ensure the stability of the Shangguan clan in the future, the contemporary patriarch learned from the pain and decided to destroy the so-called treasure that caused the world's hearts to stir and even compete for countless treasures, so he threw the tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit into the sea of fire and burned it for 7749 days before it disappeared.

It was prosperous that day, and then it was so bleak, and everyone in the world sighed......

However, due to the innate self-improvement in the blood and blood of the Shangguan clan, coupled with the kindness of the Great Chu Emperor, with the passage of time, the Shangguan clan in Jinyang gradually developed a new force in the local area, and made further progress, and finally became a deep-rooted local gatekeeper.

Compared with the other two great families, Shangguan is like a wise man who has retired from the world and suddenly emerged from the red dust, steadily continuing his own joys and sorrows, composing his own legend, and there have been no major worries for a hundred years.

It seems that the heirloom that everyone in the world is thinking about is really not an auspicious good thing......

It stands to reason that this tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit was destroyed as early as a hundred years ago, and who knows that in recent years, there have been rumors that the tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit has reappeared! Fortunately, this rumor was only known to a few high-ranking members of the royal family, so it did not cause any uproar in the world again.

Yes, this time, Emperor Chu bowed down to Jinyang in the name of inspection, and took the Shangguan Mansion as a foothold, which really meant to ask the Shangguan for this treasure!

Bo Yi often accompanies him because of his father's favor, and he has heard a little about these rumors, and he can't figure out how true and false they are. However, now that she saw the little girl holding the heirloom in her hand, she suddenly understood the truth of the rumors!

It turns out that Shangguan did not destroy the family heirloom treasure a hundred years ago, but deliberately created the illusion of destroying the treasure in order to avoid turmoil and seek stability...... It's just that Shangguan has deceived the people of the world, but he has never been able to deceive the royal family who leads the world!

"Legend has it that this heirloom of my family can live the dead, flesh and bones, bring the deceased back to their souls, and reverse their fate." The little girl Qingyue had a thin smile in her tone, recalling her distant thoughts. Bo Yi turned his head sideways, and saw her leisurely bending her fingers and gently caressing the back of the white rabbit lying in the palm of her hand, as if she was teasing a live pet who often accompanied her, and raised her eyebrows and hooked her lips to look at him very playfully, "Do you believe it?" ”

Bo Yi frowned and tossed for a while, and replied without leaking: "I'd rather believe it than believe it." Yu Duan raised his eyes to take a closer look at the rabbit, and saw that it was a whole piece of good mutton fat white jade carved into a well-behaved thing, the whole body was snow-white and crystalline, and the carving was fine enough to make out the rabbit hair. The white rabbit's two long ears are erected, as if listening to the sound of congratulations from all over the world, and the other lies backwards, as if enjoying the joy of the red dust, the jaw is stretched forward, the small mouth seems to be open, the four hooves are curled, and the extremely obedient and beautiful lying on the ground, at a glance, even though the body is only an inch long, but it is also lifelike like like a living thing as shocking and gratifying! The most brilliant thing is a pair of blue-haired jade eyes, relative to the pattern of light and shadow, it can shine out the faint and shallow light of the time, like a beauty looking forward to a tactful glimpse of the autumn waves.

It's gratifying, cute, and lamentable, but it's just ...... It's just that at first glance, it is an ordinary jade rabbit, with eyes inlaid with night pearls, and the carving work is real, but it is not as divine as rumored by the outside world!

If this is really the well-known tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit, then the Shangguan clan almost perished because of it back then, it is really not worth it!

"Since my father has promised to dedicate this precious rabbit to the emperor, I can't keep it." The little girl narrowed her eyes, and her slender eyelashes fluttered in the shadow of the lamp, and the image of butterfly wings was colorful, "I thought I would simply destroy it to save me from being so bored!" But the little prince ......" her eyes raised slightly, Chunshan's eyebrows were lowered, and she smiled softly at Boyi, full of innocence, "The image you gave me is not bad, hey, I'll give it to you!" ”

"Huh?" Bo Yi didn't expect this beautiful and cheerful little girl who was very bold and backbone, and actually ...... She can actually see the tourmaline soul attracting rabbit and the reluctance to be so shallow! If you say you want to give it away, do you really want to give it to yourself?

Bo Yi is only eleven years old, this age and a half years old, in the end, there is still a child's immaturity, and he waved his hand again and again without thinking about it: "No, no, this is something handed down by the ancestors of the Shangguan family, I can't ask for it!" ”

But this person is in a hurry to do things well, he didn't notice that the little girl was handing the rabbit to him at this time, and he just waved his hand to refuse, so he didn't catch it, the whole piece of white jade forged out of the tourmaline soul rabbit, and fell straight to the ground!

"Whoa—"

It was a sound that was clearer than flowing water, but it was full of great panic and despair.

This piece has been in the ancestral hall of the old mansion of the Shangguan family for a hundred years of incense, passed down from generation to generation, the vicissitudes of life in the wind and rain, experienced and seen too many blessings and misfortunes, and involuntarily led out the tourmaline soul-attracting rabbit that caused too many blessings and misfortunes, so far finally with the dramatic unintentional fall, and in an instant shattered into a dazzling triviality; Hatred and grudges will disappear in one moment!

The air in the room was tense and dead because of this sudden change, and no one thought that such a thing would happen!

The two were stunned, and after a long time, the little girl was the first to revive in a trance, frowning and shaking her head, Xu Nian said: "That's it, that's it, this is the will of heaven......" Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of cold wind and frost, such an old and gloomy look really did not match her nine-year-old year. There were no more changes related to joy and sorrow, and his eyes glanced at the fragments of the jade rabbit that were broken and lost their original appearance, and turned around and left, without spitting out a word.

When Bo Yi saw that she was leaving, her heart was inexplicably painful, and she was very anxious: "Which young lady of the Shangguan family is the girl?" Busy behind her blurted out urgently. He just heard her call Master Shangguan a "daddy", and he knew that it must be a young lady in the Shangguan family.

The little girl didn't get distracted, and said casually: "My name is Shu ......" and suddenly stopped and paused, black and white, if the sky will know the spirit eyes moved slightly, the heart said This rabbit was stolen out by me and broken, if my identity is known by him and said, what if I am affected in the future? After all, he is the second prince of the royal family, and he only has such a friendship with me, which is really dangerous! But it's better to coax him over, even if the poked out basket is investigated, when he sees that the person he thinks is not me, he knows that I coaxed him, and he can't find me!

So he pursed his lips and looked back: "I am the fifth lady of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Xindong." Yan Ran smiled skillfully, looked forward to cutting the water, turned her foot condyles, and at the time of parting, she glanced at the beautiful eyes of the amazed and affectionate at the place.

The door "squeak-" a hoarse shout, and Sino fell into the silence of the night. Wrapped in the warp and weft of the burial place on the moonlit night of Lang Chun, everything gently broke my heart.

Bo Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and he felt a heart-deep melancholy again! Accompanied by a slight bitterness and low return, accompanied by blood gushing, accompanied by a deep obsession that rises so thickly and colorfully...... I want her, I want her!

He suddenly said this to himself in his heart.

The candle flame was still there, and no one noticed that on the surface of the ground covered with ink bluestone bricks and red and blue pattern ornaments, a wisp of green smoke rose slightly and slowly among the broken tourmaline soul-attracting rabbits. Circle by circle, wisp by wisp, very low-key, very silent, as if with a strange and gentle smile, gradually scattered in the endless night air in a silent place......
