Chapter 15 March Chang'an
The spring breeze is slowly peach blossoms, the morning rain has fine leaves climbing, the flowers are fragrant for a month, and the Yanyu comes from Chang'an.
In early spring and March, everything recovers, green willows are formed, the sun is shining, and the warblers fly and the grass grows. Demon Ziyan has only seen this intoxicating beauty in the illusion of the leaf thorn, Chang'an City in March, there is a long sky of green and underworld, and there are waves of water below.
"It's so beautiful here!" sighed Mo Ziyan.
Ye Thorn smiled slightly: "This city has its own reputation of opening the palace in nine days, and all countries are crowned. ”
At this time, there are large and small shops on the street, and there are no empty houses.
They saw a small shop full of portraits, including innocent and immature playful children, dignified samurai talents, crane-haired and childlike old men in armor, and cardamom girls with moth-headed eyebrows......
Each painting depicts everyone's demeanor and temperament vividly, looks at each other's history, and shows all kinds of things in the world.
"Kite, what are these?" asked Mo Ziyan curiously.
"Chang'an is where the creatures of the human world live, and this is a portrait of the creatures of the human world. ”
"What are you used for?"
"It's used to commemorate everyone's faces. Because with the passage of time, people's memories will fade and life will dry up, but paintings will not, and if they are properly preserved, they can be preserved for hundreds of years, and future generations can see them. ”
At this time, a handsome and elegant man walked out of the inner room when he heard the sound, he was dressed in a green robe, with a bamboo hairpin on his head, and said with a smile: "You two want to buy paintings?"
"Who drew these, and who are the people in the paintings?" said Mo Ziyan.
"These paintings are the work of my father, who has been painting for decades, with relatives and friends, neighbors, and guests. I'll show you this ......" said he took down a painting of a woman hanging in the middle of the store, and said warmly, "This is what my mother looked like when she was young." ”
I saw that the woman in the painting was demure and dignified, with a simple and elegant appearance, and a leisurely and leisurely appearance.
"Your mother looks beautiful and wise, and she has the style of a lady. Ye Thorn approvingly.
"My mother was born in a famous family, and she was both beautiful and artistic, and it was because of my father's painting that she promised to marry my father for life. If it weren't for this painting, there would be no me in this world, haha. ”
"Then this one must not be sold?" said Mo Ziyan.
"Hehe, Childe is really smart, this is the treasure of the town store, it is not for sale, and you can choose the rest at will. ”
Mo Ziyan noticed that Ye Thorn was silent looking at the woman's painting, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"
Ye Thorn touched the frame with the tips of his fingers, slowly slid from the top to the bottom, and sighed softly, "...... What if someone had helped my mother draw a picture like this back then...... At least...... I can know what she looks like. ”
The man seemed to understand something, and said, "It's okay, the girl can call everyone who has seen Lingtang, and my father can draw according to the oral description; if the painting doesn't look like it, you can change it until everyone thinks it looks like it, so that you can see what your mother really looks like." ”
Ye Thorn's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"
The man said with a smile: "In the next surname, the name is sincere, which means to do what you say and treat each other sincerely." ”
"Then thank you first. Ye Thorn said.
Just left the painting shop not far away, looking at Ye Thorn's mood was still a little low, Mo Ziyan comforted, "It's okay, I don't know what my mother looks like, we are tied, haha." ”
Ye Thorn came back to his senses: "This is not a ...... competition"
"How not, and it's the only game you can play with me in a draw, hee-hee. “
Ye Thorn looked at the Demon Ziyan under the afterglow of the sunset at this time, and for some reason she could feel the shallow sourness and sadness behind those smiling eyes.
"Ziyan, do you know, in the sky of my hometown, there are white ice kites planted by my mother, which bloom every May, and then fall like spring rain, all over the sky, every time I hold those flowers in my hand, I can sense what my mother said when planting flowers......
"What did your mother say?"
"It's all about the art of war, how to arrange the formation according to the soldiers, etc., my mother used to be a general......"
"So you're destined to be a very good military advisor...... And there is no doubt about it...... Your mother must be very beautiful. ”
Ye Thorn smiled, although he had long been accustomed to hearing Mo Ziyan express his praise for himself without hesitation, but this time, Ye Thorn felt very special.
"Ziyan, don't you want to know what your mother looks like?"
"For me, it's better not to know. ”
"Why?" Leaf Thorn wondered.
"Because of this...... She can always be perfect. ”
When night was approaching, they found an inn by the river, and Ye Thorn couldn't sleep, so he went for a walk by the river alone.
When, where, and in what form did the Spirit Jade appear, and how did he find the Spirit Jade before the Demon Flame?
Even if he finds it first, the person with the Spirit Jade must not be an easy character to deal with, so can he be defeated by himself?
If he still needs the help of Demon Ziyan, then how can he bring it back to Tianshan Mountain after he gets the Spirit Birth Jade?
If it is really secretly stolen back, will it make the Battle of Hansuo Bay thousands of years ago repeat in the Tianshan Mountains?
But if he didn't steal it, how could he convince Mo Ziyan to lend him this Xuanyuan treasure and bring it back to Tianshan? And how could he explain his identity? Do you want to tell her that she was a spy from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Ye Thorn suddenly felt a little weak, what should he do......
At this time, a soft and graceful female voice came from the riverside, swinging people's hearts, like a bamboo raft on the blue waves, telling the story.
Ye Thorn followed the sound and looked into the distance, looking for the Zen singer with the sound of elegance, only to see the person wearing a cloak in the moonlight, wearing a hat, a pipa standing between his knees, faintly visible fingertips plucking the strings, the melody flying in this cold snowy night.
Ye Thorn stepped forward and said: "The girl's song is like the fragrance of tea, dare to ask who made this song?"
The singing woman raised her head and smiled: "Half moonlight on the floating string, Qingyun is swaying outside the column." ”
"Floating Profit...... Qing Yun ......" Ye Thorn was startled: "How do you know ......? You are ......"
The woman slowly took off the hat, revealing a young face, peach blossom eyes, cherry mouth, aura eyes and a slightly mischievous smile...... Ye Thorn couldn't believe his eyes, "Xin'er!"
"I thought you had been in Xuanyuan for a long time and didn't recognize me!"
"Why are you here?!" Ye Thorn was surprised, but his heart was full of surprise.
"Naturally, I'm here to help you! I'm afraid that you will be alone in the sky and sold by the demon king. Ye Beixin smiled.
Ye Thorn looked around and confirmed that Mo Ziyan was not there, but he still lowered his voice and said, "Did His Highness ask you to come?"
"Hehe, how could I dare to leave the altar without his permission. Ye Beixin stood up and jumped a few steps by the river.
Ye Thorn thought to himself that His Highness actually allowed her to leave the Nine Heavens Altar, this was really unprecedented.
Although Ye Beixin is a guardian deity, her soul has been raised by the altar magic weapon Nine Heavens Bell for three thousand years, and her mana is naturally not weak;
Speaking of outsiders, no one has ever invaded the altar in the past 3,000 years.
The Nine Heavens Altar is the place to protect the Qilin King Scepter, the artifact of the Tianshan Town.
When Yuan Ji was alive, she held the royal scepter and did not leave an inch, and the altar naturally became an empty shell, and who would go to the empty box filled with the treasure when the treasure was gone;
So in fact, in Ye Thorn's view, Xin'er is the flower bud, protected layer by layer, she has never seen a real battlefield, and she doesn't know that this world is actually full of dangers.
Isn't it tantamount to self-immolation when she came to Mo Ziyan's side at this time......
"You'd better go back quickly, this mission is dangerous. Leaf Thorn said softly.
"As a fighter, if you stay in a safe place all the time, then he is dead, that's what you used to say. Ye Beixin pouted.
"You are a guardian spirit, not a warrior, do you know that a king is like a tiger. Leaf Thorn said solemnly.
Ye Beixin turned her head to the side, "Don't! ”
"I'm not going to be in any danger, you better go back quickly. ”
Ye Beixin's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and she whispered in Ye Ting's ear, "It's not dangerous to steal Lingsheng Jade?"
Ye Thorn was shocked, she actually knew......
"Mo Yan said how arduous your task is! And then what about ......" Ye Beixin patted her chest, "I naturally went to His Highness and recommended myself to protect you." ”
It turned out to be Mo Yan......
That's right, hey...... How can there be anything to hide from Mo Yan.
"Xin'er, I'm not joking with you, this Demon Ziyan is powerful beyond your imagination, have you forgotten that he almost wiped you out in the Xuanyuan Tower last time?" Ye Thorn said.
"Hehe, speaking of which, it's a good thing he didn't really make a move, otherwise he would have been wiped out. ”
Ye Thorn shook his head, "You are not his opponent, all the offensive illusions of Tianshan Mountain can't hurt him in the slightest. ”
"Haha, I know that. ”
"You know?" Ye Thorn's eyes widened, she only told His Highness about this disaster, how could she know? When did His Highness become so big-mouthed......
Oh, yes...... Ay...... Mo Chang ......
"Yes, everybody knows that!"
“...... Everybody knows??...... Did Mo Yan tell you why?" Ye Thorn directly acquiesced, it must be Mo Yan again.
She said that Demon Ziyan was born like that. Ye Beixin said.
Hearing this, Ye Thorn breathed a sigh of relief, he was so righteous that he would not sell his teammates easily...... Such a humiliating thing, as long as she and His Highness knew it silently.
"Isn't that so?" Seeing that Ye Thorn didn't answer immediately, Ye Beixin asked.
"Yes, yes, I was born like that......" Ye Thorn said.
"Don't be afraid, let's join hands, that Lingsheng Jade can't run away!" Ye Beixin's tone was full of confidence.
Ye Thorn was startled, immediately looked around, saw that there was no one else, and whispered: "Xin'er, be quiet, if this is heard by Demon Ziyan, you can't die, and I will die." ”
"Hahaha, he can't bear it, he likes you so much. His Highness just said that if you are not good, he will kill His Highness. ”
Ye Thorn was stunned, what was Xin'er talking about......
When did His Highness say that he was not good, and when did Mo Ziyan kill His Highness?
Ye Beixin originally wanted to hang Ye Ting's appetite, but she couldn't help but say it, since she said it, let's say it thoroughly.
"I am Wei Xi in the Xuanyuan Tower, and Your Highness is you. ”
Leaf Thorn was shocked, "...... What!?"
"That's why I said that if Mo Ziyan really did it, then he would be unlucky!
Originally...... The fake self is His Highness...... His Highness has come down...... Is His Highness specially here to help him out of the siege? Thinking of this, a warm current welled up in Ye Thorn's heart.
"By the way, Ye Thorn, why does the Demon Ziyan look exactly like His Highness?" Ye Beixin asked.
Ye Thorn's heart was weak for a while when he heard this, "This ...... I don't know ......."
"Although on the way there, Mo Yan told me that when I saw Mo Ziyan, I must be calm, and I still fantasized about whether he was extremely ugly or handsome, and fantasized about countless appearances, but when I really saw it, I almost thought that His Highness was joking with us. You say, is Mo Ziyan the son of His Highness?"
Ye Thorn's eyes widened, and he hurriedly denied, "Of course not!"
"Then why are they so similar?" Ye Beixin did not relent.
"Uh...... He was a different kind of person when he was a child, the demon spirit would change greatly when he became an adult, and the divine power of the Xuanyuan Holy Spring Pool Water gave him the appearance of His Royal Highness, as for why, only the Holy Spring knew. Ye Thorn thought to himself, he must not let Xin'er know that the Demon Ziyan changed according to his liking.
"Okay, then it's possible that His Highness was also conjured by that holy spring......" Ye Beixin pondered.
She had indeed always been curious about how the immortal creatures of the Protoss came to be, and who were Su Yu's parents......
Usually idle at the altar is too boring, Ye Beixin keeps reasoning about this kind of problem.
The Protoss is an immortal being, if His Highness has parents, then His Highness's parents should also live, grandparents should also live, grandparents should also live, grandparents should also live, grandgrandparents should also live...... The result is that the ancestors are all alive, and the children and grandchildren have been multiplied for thousands of years, and the gods should be all over the world, why haven't I seen any other gods except His Highness now...... Even when the gods gave death to the queen in front of him, his eyes looked at the sky without blinking, and he didn't see any gods.
Ye Thorn saw Ye Beixin's brows tightly locked, and after thinking about it, Xin'er must have turned on the reasoning mode again, this lie can't stand any more scrutiny, so he quickly changed the topic, and said: "The secret of the holy spring can't be guessed by everyone anyway, maybe like you said, Your Highness is also changed by the holy spring; ”
"Hahaha, that's why I'm here to cross the river with your mud bodhisattva. Xin'er laughed.
"How are you going to cross me?" Leaf Thorn put his hands in front of his chest.
Ye Beixin said playfully: "Hehe, this is the secret!"
In fact, Ye Beixin herself didn't know how to cross, she only knew that she really wanted to help Ye Ting, and she really wanted to come out to play, but Chang'an had never been here!
Besides, His Royal Highness unexpectedly agreed, how could such a rare opportunity be missed! Mo Yan said that as long as he accompanied Ye Thorn, he would report as soon as there was danger.
Every word Mo Yan has said since ancient times, everything he commands others to do is meaningful, and it has been proved that those who don't listen to Mo Yan will regret it in the end.
A thousand years ago, the ghost king Huanglei was disobedient, he didn't believe that Xiuyue had stolen Ji Lu, and he didn't believe that the three princes of Xianying would really attack Xuanyuan so quickly, so he didn't ask Marshal Qixiao to go out of the customs, and the result was the Battle of Hansuowan......
Two thousand years ago, I didn't listen to Mo Yan's words, and locked the Qilin King Scepter with the Nine Heavenly Bell, thinking that if the King Scepter was not used by the Heavenly King......, who else would use it?
Ay...... His own little selfishness actually caused a big disaster......
The queen always held it in her hand, and it turned out that she had learned the secret of the king's scepter...... Later, I won't talk about it, everyone knows about it.
So don't analyze what Mo Yan said, just listen hard.
The leaf thorn still had concerns and did not answer. Ye Beixin hurriedly said, "Anyway, no matter what you say, I won't go back! I finally came out, I've been at the altar for three thousand years, and I'm about to die of boredom, you can do it, let me breathe...... I promise not to make a mess!"
Leaf Thorn pondered for a moment, "Okay...... But you must hide it well, protect yourself, and it is better not to have too much direct contact with me in order to avoid people's eyes. ”
"Yes!
