29. The oath is not easy to say (middle)
Ning Lang followed behind Lan Qi, walking slowly along the hillside, and finally arrived at the west side of the hillside, where the leeward and the winter sun shone down, making people warm and lazy,
Lan Qi stopped, sat down on the thick withered grass, and said, "Let's bask in the sun here,"
"Hmm," Ning Lang sat down next to her,
Lan Qi pulled a piece of grass and wrapped it around his fingers, squinted his eyes and glanced at the sky above, and said, "This weather is really suitable for storytelling,"
"Hmm," Ning Lang replied again,
Lan Qi played with the withered grass between his fingers, "A long time ago, I also listened to people tell stories under such a sun, I was too young to know at that time, but now I look back and look back, but I feel that no matter what kind of story I listen to under such a sun, no matter how dark it is, it will not make people afraid,"
"Hmm," Ning Lang replied again,
Lan Qi looked at him sideways, his blue eyes were slightly rippling, and he smiled a little, but it was faint and difficult to understand.
"Ning Lang, this story that Ben Shao wants to tell you happened a long time ago, and it was only after Ben Shao became the head of the Lan family that he thoroughly understood it, during this period, many people died, most of the people who knew this story no longer existed, and the few who knew it would never mention the second person to know, and you, Ben Shao was the first to tell it, and you were the last to know, understand?"
"Well," Ning Lang was stunned for a moment, and came to his senses after a moment and said, "Are you saying that you want me not to tell others again?"
"Well," Lan Qi nodded, looking back, his gaze into the distance, "Ben Shao told you, but I want you to understand," the voice paused for a moment before continuing, "Ning Lang, in this world, it is the first time I have seen a person like you, Ben Shao...... I don't want to hurt you,"
"Hmm," Ning Lang looked at Lan Qi in a daze,
Lan Qi didn't look at him, his eyes just looked ahead, and only after a while did he say in a low voice: "More than twenty years ago, there was a person named Lan Xianning in the martial arts,"
Ning Lang didn't react when he heard this name, but vaguely thought that this person's surname was Lan, and he was a member of the Lan family.
But if Yu Wenluo heard it, he would definitely jump up and shout: "Lan Lanning, that is the first beautiful man in martial arts who is as famous as Dong Weiming more than 20 years ago,"
"Weiming is bloody, and Ning calms the wind and rain," Lan Qi read softly, "More than twenty years ago, everyone in the whole martial arts knew this sentence, and it was Dong Weiming and Lan Lanning,"
"Hey," Ning Lang was a little surprised, Dong Weiming already knew that he was Lan Qi's master, and he was also a great beauty who was admired by the world's heroes more than 20 years ago.
Lan Qi glanced at him sideways, knowing what he was thinking, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he smiled and said: "Wulin compares this Lan Taning with the master, and it is said that the beauty of the two of them is rare, but the master is a woman, and this Lan Lanning is a man,"
"Oh," Ning Lang nodded to indicate that he understood,
Lan Qi turned his head and his gaze fell to the void, "Lan Xianning's appearance has long been impossible to remember,"
Uh, Ning Lang wondered, could it be that she had seen this person,
"But since he can be as famous as the master, I think he is very good-looking, he was born in a family, and he is super martial arts, and he is born like that, he is famous as soon as he comes out of the rivers and lakes, and the most admirable thing is that he blows a good flute, and the master has set off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes because of his appearance, and Lan Lanning ...... Regardless of men and women, they are happy to meet and intersect with each other, and the rivers and lakes are rumored to have a clear sound of the flute, and those who hear it are convinced, and they are known as 'Lan Xiao Tianyin',"
Ning Lang couldn't help but think when he heard this, this Lan Lanning is such a figure, he should be admired like his predecessors and Qiu predecessors, why is it as extinct as Dong Weiming, and almost no one knows about it in later generations.
"Such a character, I like it a lot, but he has made a family affair since he was a child, he is the daughter of a world friend, and he is also a person with excellent character, and he has a deep friendship with childhood sweethearts, no matter how many beauties and beauties are in love with the rivers and lakes, Lan Xianning has never been moved, and one of these women he has met is the most sensitive, he and this woman have not become a couple but have become confidants," said, Lan Qi turned his head to look at Ning Lang meaningfully, "This woman's name is Jian Weilan,"
"Ah," Ning Lang's eyes widened, "my mother,"
"Hmm," Lan Qi nodded,
"Then ......" Ning Lang thought for a while, and suddenly understood, "This Lan Lanning is your father,"
"Well," Lan Qi nodded imperceptibly, and said: "Lan Lanning entered the rivers and lakes at the age of eighteen, and at the age of nineteen, he became famous all over the world, and at the age of twenty, he met Jian Weilan, and the two knew each other and agreed to be the in-laws of their children in the future, and returned home at the age of twenty-one to marry his wife Yan Zixi,"
"Oh, what about later," Ning Lang asked, could it be that the marriage was decided at that time,
Lan Qi was silent for a moment before he sighed, "It might be better if he stayed at home,"
"Hmm," Ning Lang looked at her,
"A year after he got married, he went out to travel the rivers and lakes again, and this time, he ......" Lan Qi's voice stopped again, and only after a while did he say softly, "This time he met a person, in the rivers and lakes for several years, the women he saw were **, each with its own touching features, he has always treated each other with courtesy, and he also boasted of his chastity, but when he met that person, he failed to keep his promise,"
"Who did he meet," Ning Lang curious,
"He met a woman," a hint of a mocking smile appeared on Lan Qi's lips, "His encounter with that woman......" raised his hand and pulled a piece of dry grass around his fingers, lowered his head, couldn't see what his expression was, and after a long time, he said slowly, "It used to be like a story, and it was repeated countless times in our ears when we were children, so that we can remember it today,"
Lan Qi smiled wistfully, his blue eyes were misty for a moment, hazy and deep,
"He met her on a long street, people came and went, it seemed that he just raised his eyes, he saw her holding Du Ruo in his arms, she saw him in white clothes like snow and bamboo flutes, very ordinary and seemingly unusual, long street, bustling crowds, as if she (he) was born in front of him (her), so natural as flying flowers and flowing water,"
While talking, he unconsciously pulled the withered grass between his fingers, tearing off one by one,
"Looking at the long street, in a daze, the woman has arrived in front of him, stretched out his hand, gave him a branch of Du Ruo, he took it, before he could react, the woman has drifted away, leaving him to hold Du Ruo's hope, but the fragrance has been faint, that moment is like a dream, but a month later, he met the woman again in the crowded temple fair, still full of Du Ruo, the fragrance hits people, this time the encounter, the two of them were surprised but felt that it was natural, the woman still gave him a branch Du Ruo, and opened his mouth to talk to him,"
The fingertips twisted the broken grass, and little by little it turned into powder, and fell in a row.
"'If we can meet again, we will have a fate with you, and I am willing to make a lifelong promise,'" Lan Qi raised his head, "After the woman finished saying this, she floated away again, Lan Xianning looked at Du Ruo in her hand, surprised and dumbfounded, but her heart was already rippling, after that, day by day, he was a little looking forward to it and a little curious, of course, he was still conceited and would never be moved, but a few months passed, but he never met the woman again, from the beginning of the expectation, slowly disappointed, and then faded, so almost another year passed, he thought that there was no red dust, He even secretly rejoiced in it, because that little 'memory' had made him understand that it was a bad sign,"
"Then what about later, is it true that I didn't see you again," Ning Lang asked,
Lan Qiyi smiled, slightly cold, "It's better if there is no goodbye, partial ...... Hmph,"
Ning Lang looked at her with blank eyes,
"One night in the winter of that year, it was snowing heavily, Lan Taning missed the stay, and was looking for a place to spend the night, not wanting the sound of the blade in front of him, so he flew over to find out, and when he arrived, he saw four corpses lying in the snow, and one person was independent between the corpses, the blue clothes were stained with blood, and there was still a body of evil and killing intent, but it was like a red plum in the snow, with a kind of stunning beauty and soul-grabbing beauty, smelling someone approaching, the person turned around and looked back, both of them were stunned, at that moment, Lan Xianning looked at this woman who had obviously just killed someone but was still wearing Du Ruo's fragrance, and the feeling in her heart was not only bad, but that a catastrophe was coming,"
Lan Qi turned his head to look at Ning Lang, as if he was smiling, "This is their third meeting, do you think they are very fateful?"
Ning Lang nodded, "There is fate,"
"Heh......" Lan Qi chuckled, but there was no joy or sorrow, "The reunion that night, I think Lan Xianning himself can't tell whether it is more shocking or more surprised, but in short, it is the third time they have met very strangely, and it is ...... They interacted with each other,"
"This ...... He has already married a wife, how can he like other women again," Ning Lang frowned,
Lan Qi nodded and said, "Yes, he has already married a wife, and he has also promised that his wife will only like her for the rest of his life, and he will only have one woman, but ...... Tempted but not a promise or something he can control, the woman thought that their third meeting was a fate given by God, and it was also where her heart belonged, and she was willing to do it, but Lan Tanning rejected it with an existing family, but who knew that the woman said, 'The concubine allowed you, but because the concubine liked you, what does it have to do with your family and your wife,'"
"Ah," Ning Lang was surprised, but looking at Lan Qi, it suddenly occurred to her that she could also say such strange words,
Lan Qi looked at Ning Lang and said: "Lan Xianning probably had the same reaction as you when he heard that, he was surprised and didn't believe it, but he didn't refuse the woman's invitation, and went to the small manor on the bank of the Wuyun River as a guest, and after a few days, he was reluctant to leave, this woman is different from anything he has ever met before, she just does whatever she wants, as long as she likes it, she can go, she can do it, so she can hold an umbrella in the garden on a rainy day and stand in the garden for a day and a night, just to cover the rain for the red plum she likes, Afraid of being knocked off by the heavy rain, she can wash the den of water thieves on the Wuyun River in blood overnight, not to eliminate evil for the heroes, but because she lives on the banks of the Wuyun River, she will not allow others to run rampant,"
This person is so willful, Ning Lang said in his heart,
And she knows so much, she can know the merits of any sect of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and she can talk about poetry and literature into chapters, a pipa "Phoenix Remnant Sound" makes him want to be seized, that is, she understands Qimen Dunjia, and she is so beautiful, so mysterious, no one in the rivers and lakes knows her identity, and no one knows her, she never asks who he is, does not ask his name, does not ask his family background, does not ask where he comes from, and never mentions his wife, it seems that except for the person in front of her, She was completely uninterested in everything else, she just liked him, so she wanted to be with him, there was no so-called reserve, there was no so-called etiquette, she was so clear and clear, strong and true to express her likes and affections, Lan Taning refused and struggled, but ...... In the face of such a person, how could he resist, in the end, he finally sank,"
Lan Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Ning Lang and said, "Ning Lang, do you know what promises and oaths are for?"
Ning Lang was unaware that she had such a question, was stunned for a moment, thought about it and replied, "Even what you promised must be done,"
"Wrong," Lan Qi snorted coldly, his blue eyes were incomparably bright, like stars immersed in a cold pool, icy bright, "The only use of promises and oaths ,,, to betray,"
"But......" Ning Lang couldn't agree and wanted to refute, but Lan Qi obviously didn't want to hear it, turned his head and continued,
Lan Tanning forgot his promise to his wife, and it can even be said that he has forgotten his home, his wife, and the rivers and lakes, his whole mind revolves around the woman who calls herself a nickname, and she doesn't get tired of seeing each other day by day, and the months are relatively not long, so a year has passed in the blink of an eye, he and Ah Mei have been guarding all day long on the bank of the Wuyun River, and Ah Mei has also given birth to a child, which is a pair of twins, having two children at a time, both of them are very happy, but when the child opens his eyes, they find that the eye that was born first is black, Then the eyes that were born turned out to be turquoise, looking at the strange pair of turquoise eyes that had never been seen before, Lan Xianning was stunned, but Ah Mei comforted him and said that her brother's eyes were also blue, people said that the nephew was more like an uncle, this child is estimated to be like an uncle, although Lan Xianning did not say much, but he was uneasy in his heart, and soon, he received a family message, but his wife was very worried when she saw that he had not heard from him for a long time, so Xueying passed the book to him, and at this moment he remembered that he also had a wife,"
"These two children ......" Ning Lang looked at Lan Qi in surprise,
"Yes, these two children are us," Lan Qi admitted very dryly, "Lan Xianning wanted to go home to see, although Ah Mei was reluctant, but he did not stop him, but prepared for him, he finally returned home, and also saw his wife who had not seen him for a long time, but he only stayed at home for half a month, and then left again, the family raised the case Qi Mei Qin Se and Ming can no longer keep him, all he thinks about is Ah Mei, so he can't wait to return to the Wuyun River, back to Ah Mei's side, but after that, He went home every few months, his wife was naturally full of joy, and Ah Mei never said much, after a long time, Lan Taning understood what Ah Mei meant, they were happy with each other, so she just had to treat each other wholeheartedly on the bank of the Wuyun River, leaving the manor, where he went and what she did had nothing to do with her, so he lived like this, there were good wives at home, there were beautiful women and delicate children on the riverside, and Lan Taning's life was not as good as the immortals,"
"In this way, wouldn't he have a troubled conscience," Ning Lang asked,
"Huh...... Good question," Lan Qi laughed, "It would be good if Lan Taning really wiped out his conscience, but he still kept a point or two of the useless things, so he was uneasy, so he felt guilty, and the child's green eyes were a heavy stone in his heart, so that he never dared to forget his deception and betrayal of his wife, so in this half happy and half condemned by conscience, a few years passed, that winter, Lan Lanning went home and lived for a month, and left after the New Year, but soon after returning to the Wuyun River, He received a flying book from home to ask him to go back, it turned out that his wife was pregnant with a child, he was the eldest son of the family, but he could be married for several years, and he had no children, the elders in the family were very anxious, and finally this time there was, when the family was happy, it was to pass him back, and asked him to accompany his wife at home, waiting for the birth of the first Lin'er,"
Lan Qi paused for a moment, took a slight breath, and then said: "He returned home, but he missed the people on the banks of the Wuyun River, looking at the joy of the whole family looking forward to the birth of the child, he would think of the two twins who were nearly five years old, and looking at the gentle wife, he would think of Ah Mei who treated him with all his might...... He wanted to confess to his family, but he didn't dare, he wanted to talk to his wife, but he couldn't bear it, so he was conflicted, distressed, and restless, his wife Yan Zixi was not a stupid person, her husband was not at home all these years, and every time she went home, she left quickly, and now the child is coming, but he doesn't see him laughing, but he is frowning and locking his heart, and he can't help but have doubts in his heart, Lan Xianning lived at home for a month, and finally couldn't bear it, because the twins' birthdays are coming, he wants to go back and spend it with them, So he excused himself from his friends in the rivers and lakes to call him urgently, and hurriedly left home and rushed to the bank of the Wuyun River, thinking that it would only take half a month to go back and forth, and when the child's birthday was over, he would come back immediately."
Lan Qi stopped at this point, Ning Lang looked at her, only to see her fingertips trembling slightly, and couldn't help but reach out to hold it, the tentacles were cold to the bone, like holding jade, the warmth in her hand made Lan Qi turn her head to look at Ning Lang in surprise, she really didn't expect him to make a move, and Ning Lang was looked at by Lan Qi, and suddenly woke up, his face was hot,
Lan Qi withdrew his hand, flicked his fingers on Ning Lang's head, smiled lightly, shook his head, and said: "Lan Lanning arrived on the bank of the Wuyun River, and Yan Zixi also quietly followed to the bank of the Wuyun River, when she saw Ah Mei who was tender and sweet with her husband, and saw the pair of twins under their knees, at that moment, she was not only shocked but completely collapsed, she couldn't believe that her husband, who had a deep love affair with her childhood sweetheart, the person who had sworn to carry Bai Shou wholeheartedly, secretly had someone else, and there were two children that old, the anger of being deceived, The grief of being betrayed completely crushed her, in a frenzy, she couldn't listen to any words from Lan Xianning, she closed her eyes and didn't look at the woman, she hugged her head and ran wildly, Lan Zhanning chased after her, but although Yan Zixi's martial arts were low, she had an excellent light skill, otherwise she would not have been able to track him here, and at the moment she was crazy and demented, and she ran fast, running in a disorderly manner, Lan Shanning chased her a few feet away, and she didn't know how long she ran, and finally she finally stopped, because there was no road ahead, and there was a cliff in front, It turned out that they had run to the mountain unconsciously, Yan Zixi looked at the abyss in front of her, and seemed to be a little sober, she looked back at Lan Shanning, who was chasing after her in horror, and said, 'Lang's heart is like the sky, the concubine's heart is like jade, the sky is changeable, and the jade is broken,' and then jumped,"
"Ah," Ning Lang couldn't help but exclaim, "Lan Tang...... Did your father catch up with her, did he hold her?"
