Chapter 22: The Stars
At nightfall, Huangyue finally bathed and dressed and was ready to stop.
With a long sigh, he left the Honey Pavilion and went straight to the Master's Flying Snow Pavilion.
All the way to the corridor is long, the golden bells embellished with marigold crystal flowers on both sides of the corridor are crisp, reflecting the snow, and there is some sentimentality of falling into a dream quietly at dusk for no reason!
Traveling all the way, with inner speculation, it didn't take long to reach the front of the Flying Snow Pavilion.
Looking at the future in a few days, the surroundings are all the same as silver.
Counting the weather temperature of nine cold days, Huang Yue's palms actually sweated out of his palms.
Slowly raised his hand, paused in the air for a few moments, and finally knocked lightly on the white wood carved door.
Said lightly: "Master, today is the master's birthday." The apprentice prepared a birthday gift for the master. I don't know if the master has been in retreat for more than a month, how is he entering the country now? Can you get out of the customs with the apprentices to see. β
After that, he stood quietly at the door, not even daring to come out, for fear of missing a trace of noise in the door.
Standing quietly for a long time, listening to her increasingly rapid and loud heartbeat, Huang Yue couldn't help but sigh faintly.
After a short silence, he said to the door with difficulty: "Since the master is in retreat and has no time to doppelgΓ€nger, the apprentice will go back and not disturb the master's cultivation." β
After saying that, he was silent on the spot, and finally gritted his silver teeth, turned around and prepared to go to his Purple Gold Pavilion.
When you set foot in the cloister, you will hear the soft sound of the doorway behind you.
The light sound of the wisps of door shaft turning, like a soft and subtle silk, tightened Huangyue's whole heart, and suddenly broke and loosened.
In the fluttering ecstasy, Huang Yue turned violently.
Reflecting the bright moon and clear light, the person in the door was long and jade, Zhilan was bright, dressed in snow-like white, with a light robe, which was three points whiter than snow.
It has been more than a month, and I haven't seen the master.
Huang Yue couldn't help but be surprised, how the master who had always been purple wore a white robe tonight.
It's just that the intuitive master seems to be a different person!
Huang Yue was standing in place in a daze, ecstasy mixed with doubts, and the master in a white robe spoke.
The voice was different from the gentle smile of the past, and there was a faint lazy and sloppy voice in the magnetic sinking: "Birthday gift? This seat has been born for 20 years, and I never know what birthday gifts there are in this world. β
After speaking, before Huang Yue answered, he said lightly: "In this case, this seat will go with you to take a look." β
As soon as Huang Yue heard the joy, she jumped to the master's side in a few steps, didn't care about the doubts in her heart, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the master's robe on the left side, and was about to go to the Yuxue Terrace on the west side of the honey pavilion that had been there in recent days.
Under the pull, Huang Yue only felt that the sleeves of the robe were cold, not as warm and warm as before.
The nose sniffs lightly, and the faint bamboo fragrance that originally covers the whole body is covered by the cool cold fragrance, revealing the slightest wisps of cool agarwood incense.
I couldn't help but say anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with you?" But feeling unwell and feeling cold? β
After speaking, he didn't wait for Liye to answer, so he jumped on tiptoe and raised his hand, wanting to touch Liye's forehead and test the temperature.
Jumping anxiously, I saw the master's eyes in the night staring at himself jumping up and down, as if he was slightly distracted, and suddenly a faint purple flashed, and then melted into the night, a cloud covered with foggy black.
The night adds a touch of evil and madness to the gentle and delicate facial features on weekdays.
The cold and slender hand slowly lifted, grabbed the small hand that tried to touch his forehead, and slowly lowered it.
Between the sleeves of the robe drooping, Huang Yue took advantage of the moonlight to catch a glimpse of a dark purple calendula blooming in full bloom.
For no reason, there was a throbbing pain at the tip of my heart.
The master's somewhat impatient voice sounded in his ears: "This seat is fine, take this seat to see the birthday ceremony quickly." β
Along with the words, there were also the sleeves of the robe that the master had pulled from her hand.
The last wisp of coldness in his hand was withdrawn, and Huang Yue lowered her eyes to hide the look of loss in her eyes.
When he raised his head again, he smiled sweetly and said, "The master went to Yuxuetai with the apprentice, and the apprentice has prepared everything!" Just stay at night, the master goes to have a look. β
After that, he walked to the cloister first, walked in the direction of the honey pavilion, and went straight to the Yuxue platform.
Along the way, except for the footsteps of the hem of the phoenix moon's skirt rubbing, accompanied by the shaking of the marigold pieces on both sides of the corridor, and the crisp golden bells from time to time, there was no additional sound.
But, don't look back......
Huang Yue knew that the master had been following her all the time.
Going around and around, I have gone out of the corridor and walked to the honey pavilion.
Then go more than 100 steps to the west side of the honey pavilion, and you will come to a huge round jade platform carved from white marble.
The snow covered by the jade platform has long been cleaned by Huangyue.
The entire jade platform is like a full moon carved with a fine totem embedded in the vast sea of snow.
Huangyue stood ten steps away from the front of the Jade Snow Terrace.
Turning around, he said sweetly to Liye behind him: "The master will wait here for a while, and the apprentice will go to get the birthday gift for the master." β
Liye frowned, staring at Yuxuetai with a somewhat complicated expression, and let out a faint "um" absentmindedly, and then stopped talking.
Huang Yue turned around and walked straight forward and stepped onto the Jade Snow Terrace, and disappeared in a moment, and the whole person disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, on the side where Yuxuetai was standing opposite Liye, a crimson red lotus rose in the void, and the crimson glow illuminated the girl's immature porcelain cheeks on the snow below.
The breeze around the girl's body rose lightly, the raven-colored bangs on her forehead were raised, and a little red appeared on her forehead and eyebrows.
Then a string of crimson charms flew out, and they actually flew around the Jade Snow Platform in the void.
With the trajectory of the crimson charm flying in the air, an enchantment that shrouded the entire Jade Snow Platform was slowly dissolved.
As if the light veil was unveiled, it showed the true appearance of Yuxuetai.
I saw that above the Yuxue Terrace, which was more than ten zhang in radius, there was a bright candlelight.
Countless lantern-shaped objects were tied by slender lilac filaments, suspended in the air.
The entire Yuxue Terrace is like a white moon, and it is like a silver pool with a little starlight.
Before Liye could recover from this sudden shock, she heard the girl from a dozen feet away shouting happily:
"Master, do you like it! This is the Kong Ming lantern in the apprentice's hometown. Wishing and praying for blessing is the most effective, the apprentice used the best sprinkled gold Xuan, made 999 lamps, and prayed to the heavens to bless the master with a weak crown, peace and joy, no disaster and no misfortune. β
Liye stared through the floating Kong Ming lantern, the girl in purple and white fur, her hands clasped on her red diamond lips, and a pair of apricot eyes flashed with pure joy and vitality.
In the depths of my heart, I suddenly crossed a strange feeling that had been deliberately ignored for twenty years...... Slightly astringent, the corners of one side of the lip actually rose slightly.
Looking at the countless Kong Ming lanterns in front of me, I was surprised to find that there was a slender piece of paper underneath each Kong Ming lantern.
Liye's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were already full of purple.
A pair of purple eyes were hidden in the darkness of the night, and one by one they swept over the paper embellishment under the Kong Ming lamp.
I saw that the nearby notes were written such as:
"Peace and Joy"
"No disaster"
"Live a long life"
"Happiness and well-being"
"Get Married Soon"
"Early Birth of a Precious Son"
This kind of celebratory slogan!
The middle part is full of things like:
"Master, don't be angry!"
"Master, the apprentice wants to eat chicken legs!"
"Master, don't retreat anymore, okay!"
"Master, apprentice is just your relative, don't ignore me!" Fragmented thoughts.
On the paper farthest away from him, it reads:
"Nalan Liye, you wait for this girl! When this girl grows up, go down the mountain to find colorful auspicious clouds, and come back to marry you! β
"Hey, hey! This one...... At a young age, it seems a little shameless! However, there are so many Kong Ming lanterns! I've placed it far enough away from the master, and the master shouldn't be able to see it! Can not see! β
ββ¦β¦β
After reading the nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces of paper one by one, Liye unconsciously softened the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and most of her cold and arrogant aura disappeared.
Between her eyes, a girl's cheerful and light voice came from the opposite side: "Master, look at it!" β
Liye looked up, only to see that the crimson charm had been moving at an extremely fast speed at the light silk tied under the Kong Ming lantern.
Then, the Kong Ming lanterns, which were originally fixed in mid-air, flew up towards the vast night sky one by one.
The stars are flying in the sky, the stars are shining in the sky, the beauty is not enough, and the wonder is not enough to say.
When the lanterns of all Kong Ming soar high enough, you can vaguely discern "Happy birthday!" "Four words in the shape of a come.
Liye for a long time...... Long...... He looked up at the starry sky until he couldn't tell which was the star and which was the lamp, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
Lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was already standing beside him.
The girl still looked up at the night sky, a pair of apricot eyes, shining with streamers, as if the stars were in her eyes!
