Chapter 29: Nightmare (3)
Wei Li cried enough, he was tired of crying, he fell asleep in Guangzong's arms, the night was already gray, and the stars in the sky, squinting his eyes, peeped into the world with a cold shimmer.
Guangzong looked at Wei Li's quiet face, his hand finally touched her face, and his inky eyes looked at her quietly, and finally, he hugged her to the door of Yaohua Palace, knocked on the door a few times, heard the sound of someone coming out to open the door, and when he was about to run away, Wei Li grabbed the corner of his clothes and muttered, "Who are you?" In this huge deep palace, she can't cry at will, even after being drunk, she still has to maintain the demeanor of the queen mother, but the moment she held Guangzong's wrist, all her strength collapsed instantly.
"I ......" Guangzong didn't know how to explain it.
"Wait for me tomorrow at noon at that teahouse outside the city gates." After Wei Li finished speaking, the hand that held the corner of Guangzong's clothes tightly was released, and the door was also opened, Guangzong hid sideways in the shadows, watching the palace maid help Wei Li in.
The next day, Guangzong sat on the second floor of the teahouse early in the morning and waited quietly for Wei Li to come, there were not many people in the teahouse, Guangzong regretted it after waiting for two hours, why didn't he say that he went to find Wei Li at that time, Wei Li couldn't look at it, maybe she couldn't find the way out of the palace, or after she woke up, she couldn't remember anything.
After drinking the fifth pot of tea. Wei Li finally came, she was wearing a big hat, but she came with Shangqing, Guangzong immediately squatted down, and looked at the emperor who was sticking to Wei Li with some impatience, if he appeared, wouldn't he be arrested in the dungeon again. "I'm afraid the person the Queen Mother is waiting for won't come." Shangqing turned his head and frowned at Wei Li. Wei Li shook his head lightly: "It will come." "......" "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Behind him, a man with a long sword in his hand ran all the way over, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, you can make the little one easy to find." Shangqing turned around, and when he saw the person coming, he smiled lightly and asked, "What's wrong?" But what happened to the palace? The man's face was a little respectful: "No, it's just that the emperor promised the queen to have lunch together, noon has arrived, and the queen hasn't seen the emperor come to eat for a long time, so she is a little worried."
"The emperor go back, don't let the queen wait for a long time."
Shangqing still went back, Guangzong got up and watched Shangqing's figure get farther and farther away, how could he feel a little lonely in his back? "You've been hiding for a long time, haven't you?"
Guangzong was startled, and when he turned his eyes, Wei Li was looking up in his direction, and the mottled light and shadow fell sparsely and sparsely into her empty eyes. "Soon, an hour." Guangzong walked downstairs and sat down opposite Wei Li. Wei Li laughed dryly: "Really? That's been a long wait. β
Guangzong could see that Wei Li was a little nervous, and her hands couldn't stop making small movements, and finally she spoke again: "Do you want to hear my story?" β
Guangzong was stunned, and before Guangzong could answer, Wei Li said to himself: "Since I was a child, I and Shangqing have been in love, but by mistake I became the queen of the first emperor. β
Wei Li didn't have any look on his face, just faintly recalled: "I thought that I could be with Shangqing in this way and grow old slowly, but ...... The palace was full of eyeliners, and there were people trying to bring us down, and he and I could only meet secretly. I always ask myself, when did I fall in love with him? It must have been the wedding day, when he called my name through that door, at that moment, I thought I should not leave him again, I thought I could fight for myself, all I listened to his words and poisoned the acacia wine, and it was also the poison that made my eyes no longer visible. β
Guangzong's eyes were a little dim, and he stuffed the Buddha beads in his hand into Wei Li's palm: "Wei Li, this is a dream, if you want to wake up, you can wake up at any time." β
Wei Li clenched the Buddha beads and smiled faintly: "Do you know why I asked you out?" β
"Why?" Guangzong asked.
Wei Li put the Buddhist beads in his hand on the table, and said slowly: "When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and the people in the village were afraid of me, and even after the death of my father and mother, they drove me out without relatives, because I have no shadow. β
"If I have a shadow, it will be no different from ordinary people, I heard my father and mother say, I had a serious illness when I was three years old, and since then there has been no shadow, the people in the village say that ghosts have no shadows, maybe I died of illness when I was three years old, until you appeared, the palace maid happily pointed to my feet, saying that I have a shadow, do you know how happy I am? However, a dream haunted me, I dreamed of a temple in the deep mountains, I was wearing a robe to worship the Buddha, and I gradually began to lose the distinction between dreams and reality, can you tell me, what is all this? β
Guangzong clearly felt the anger and depression around him, and Wei Li's thoughts that he was trying to remember seemed to be breaking through this nightmare, and suddenly shattered, but the nightmares around him seeped through the cracks like fierce beasts, sweeping towards the two of them!
"Wei Li, I'll take you out!"
Guangzong stretched out his hand and grabbed Wei Li's hand and ran outside, Wei Li did not refuse, but held Guangzong's hand tightly with one hand, and the Buddha beads with the other, the wind was blowing wildly, like a beast in a cage, roaring and crashing east and west, and all the beings in this dream turned into hideous faces chasing them.
Guangzong couldn't find an exit, so he could only stroll and run forward with Wei Li, the wind slapped the surrounding trees vigorously, whining like a wolf's howl, blowing off the gauze on Wei Li's eyes, blowing open her scabbed eyes, light, it was light, Wei Li saw the pursuit behind him, looked back at Guangzong who was pulling him, it was he who exuded light, his arrival brought hope to Wei Li, her heart was on the verge of exhaustion, she remembered, she remembered everything.
Guangzong suddenly picked up Wei Li and entered a reed field, pressed Wei Li down, and gasped: "You hide here and don't run, I'll come back to you." β
Wei Li stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Where are you going?" Take me with you. β
"Don't worry."
Guangzong gently patted Wei Li's head to comfort her, but Wei Li was worried about it, and she was caught off guard, she tore off the corner of her clothes and covered it on the top of her head: "Monk, I'll wait for you to come back, come back and remove my hijab, as long as you come back, Wei Li is your person." β
Wei Li sat upright, just like the bride waiting for the groom in the cave room, he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would not be able to find himself when he came back, but when the surroundings became cooler and the dew became heavier, Guangzong had not yet returned.
What should I do if he doesn't come back?
Wei Li smiled, this was just a dream, probably never waking up in this nightmare.
Wei Li suddenly felt that the grass in front of him was squirming, and picked up a broken stone beside him, the reed grass was suddenly removed, and the broken stone was smashed like a sword breaking through the air, and soon, her hand was firmly clasped, and he said weakly: "It's me, Guangzong." β
Wei Li was so happy that he didn't know how to speak, knelt down on his knees, and said, "Lift your head." β
Guangzong clenched Wei Li's wrist and said to her in a secret voice, "They were led away by me. β
Wei Li stubbornly grabbed him: "Cover your head." β
"I know you've remembered."
Wei Li's trick was ruthlessly exposed by Guangzong, and he was bored and pulled off his hijab and pushed him, but he didn't expect that Wei Li's hands were all sticky, and she panicked and asked, "Monk, how are you." β
Guangzong's faint breath wandered, and his voice was so weak that he could barely hear it: "It's okay. β
"It's a dream, as long as we wake up, it's fine!"
Guangzong's voice became softer and softer: "I may have to leave, this time it will be a long, long time, and I can't take you with me." β
Wei Li's eyes suddenly became gloomy: "Little nightmare, you dare to make a mistake to me!" The cold tone instantly exploded the surrounding barriers.
Zhai Hongyi suddenly appeared and strangled Wei Li's neck: "You can actually wake up!" "Her face was clouded in an instant, and the rain was pouring down.
"I just think this dream is quite interesting, stay here for a moment or two, you dare to kill you!"
Wei Li's cold eyes, Zhai Hongyi's back couldn't help but feel cold, but her expression suddenly froze and let go of Wei Li's neck: "You...... Who is it? β
The wind was like an invisible hand, lifting up the gray sand and fine stones, and Zhai Hongyi, who was smashed, couldn't open his eyes, suddenly, the dream exploded, Wei Li pushed Guangzong out, Zhai Hongyi wanted to stop it, but Wei Li held the faΓ§ade: "Queen Mother? Emperor? Poisoning? I'm afraid you've read too many novels! As he spoke, he punched her hard at the faΓ§ade.
Zhai Hongyi was a little frightened: "It's the Hades King who has a bounty for catching you!" I have no grievances with you, spare me! β
"Uncle? Why did he arrest me! β
The two words of uncle broke into Zhai Hongyi's mind, could it be that Wei Li is the little king of Hades who ran away according to the underworld? Fear buried Zhai Hongyi's whole body, and Wei Li pretentiously covered his mouth and said, "Oh, I leaked my mouth." Then his eyes became fierce again: "It seems that you have no chance to say it." β
Wei Li grabbed Zhai Hongyi's head with both hands, pulled it hard, and with a scream, Zhai Hongyi's body was torn, turned into gravel and disappeared with the wind, and the dream began to shake in an instant, Wei Li closed his eyes, and opened his eyes again, and what greeted him was a warm white face.
Wei Li naturally ignored Wen Bai, got up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guangzong who had recovered his will, Guangzong had been raised in the mountain temple for four or five days, and his body became tough, but Wei Li thought that Zhai Hongyi said that before he died, he said that the Hades King had a reward for catching her, she was at a loss, if it was true, there were countless people who wanted to arrest her, whether her uncle was kicked in the head by a donkey or caught by the door, how could she think that one out is one out! Wei Li wanted to take the time to go to the underworld to ask him well, but Guangzong's body had not recovered yet, so Wei Li delayed the matter.
