Chapter 11, Hou Jun Pavilion

During the banquet, we didn't say much, just drank and ate food all the time, and the third aunt counted down the third uncle while picking up the dishes for a few of our juniors; Don't know what you're doing all day? One by one, the children were wounded, you say; Can't you just be quiet for a few days? Why don't you take them out for a walk?

The third uncle said while nodding; Eat your meal! Don't worry about the affairs of the masters! The third aunt turned her head and put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then walked to the living room, we saw that the third aunt was angry! But it's hard to say anything? Then the third uncle gave Brother Yang a look.

I thought that Brother Yang would persuade the third aunt, but who knew that Brother Yang borrowed wine as the topic; Come, come, I toast you two elders with a glass. At this time, the third uncle wanted to say something, but Boss Chen on the side hurriedly raised his wine glass and said; Third brother, the child has a heart, let's have a drink with him.

The third uncle had no choice but to put down his face for the time being, raised his wine glass and drank it himself! At this time, my brother had just finished eating, said hello to us and walked to the study! There were only five of us left at the table.

Taking advantage of the wine, I asked the third uncle; By the way, Uncle San, it's time for us to leave after the Qingming Festival! When are you going to get us started? The third uncle asked with a puzzled expression; Hands-on, hands-on?

I saw that the third uncle hadn't understood what I meant, so he turned around and said; Jiulong Mountain? Didn't you dream of Taojiulong Mountain? The third uncle then understood, then nodded and said; This time it is necessary to be completely prepared, the general's tomb is different from others, and there are giant pythons and kobolds guarding it.

Kobolds? At this time, I suddenly remembered that Brother Yang said on Hulong Mountain that Boss Chen knew which kobold monster. So he asked Boss Chen; That's right! Tell me about it! How did you meet kobolds? Also, why do you know that there is an elixir on the mountain?

Boss Chen looked at the third uncle, and then put down the wine glass before saying; Which kobold is my master, I forgot about it! Just a few decades ago, I came here, I met him, and then I started digging sand with him! It's a pity that one day he went to Jiulong Mountain to step on a point, and when he came back, something happened.

About the elixir on the mountain, this is also what he told me, but every time I went up the mountain was unsuccessful, Brother Yang and I nodded, and at this time, the big head, as soon as the wine came up, he carried the cup and said; It doesn't matter! Come to drink and drink, why are you still talking about this?

That's it! A few of us drank a bottle of liquor again, and at this time I only felt soreness and dizziness, so I said to the third uncle; Third uncle, I'm dying! Drink slowly, I'll take a shower and go to bed!

The third uncle hasn't spoken yet! Boss Chen hurriedly stood up and said; You can't take a shower yet, the medicine on your body hasn't faded yet, and if you wash it off, you'll have a seizure.

The third uncle also nodded, and then asked Brother Yang to send me upstairs, and the big head saw that I didn't drink! also went upstairs together. I took off my clothes, sorted everything out, and went to sleep! Because he was not strong enough to drink, he soon went to Zhou Gong! The old fellow didn't have time to pay attention to me, so he threw me by a small river.

In the dream, there was a desolate and beautiful piano sound, with infinite resentment and lovesickness, and this is a strange place, the river is full of lotus flowers, in the moonlight it seems infinite coquettishness and shyness, just like the ancient beauty, holding an oil-paper umbrella, is dancing in the lotus pond.

I looked around, only to see that on the opposite side of the river, there was a cool enjoyment, in the middle of Xiangzi, there was a woman wearing a cheongsam, was stroking the qin, and she was also standing around the maids, then a curiosity began to impact me, I thought, whose woman is so elegant? When did you still have the heart to play the piano here?

So I looked around to see if there was a way to pass, and at this time, I saw the woman get up and make some gestures to the maids around her, and as the ladies lined up in two rows, the woman walked away.

I sighed to myself; Is it really bad luck? Finally saw a pleasing eye, there is no fate to see a face, thought about it and began to look for the way to the past, at this time, found that there is a stone road not far from me, I hurried over, just did not go long to see an arch bridge in front of me.

It's really unlucky to think about it, why did I see it when everyone left, so I took a step towards the bridge, and at the moment I got on the bridge, I was stunned! What is this place? The fence on the side of the bridge is all carved from white marble, not to mention the raw material! Is it that these crafts are enough to buy several villas?

With doubts and curiosity, I quickly walked the small bridge, and what is even more amazing here is that there are many rockeries piled up with strange stones in the strange flowers and plants, and even the road under my feet is paved with marble, and the fences on both sides are the same as those on the bridge, which are carved from white marble.

In my heart, I couldn't describe everything in front of me except for amazement, and then I had a strange thought in my heart, is this heavenly? What kind of fairy bathing in the lotus pond? Isn't that more perfect?

Thinking about it, I looked at the scenery around me, except for a few crisp bird calls from time to time, it was still quiet, so I walked quickly towards the direction of the pavilion, and saw the top of the pavilion from a distance, and the three golden characters suddenly surprised me! "Houjun Pavilion"?

This can't be the legendary pavilion, right? How did I get here? How is this possible? But curiosity has been urging me, so let's go to the pavilion first! Perhaps I could find a clue to unravel, so I quickened my pace towards the pavilion.

As soon as I entered the pavilion, I saw which guqin the woman had just played, and there was a word score on it, so I couldn't help but pick up the word score and read it, only to see that it was written; Qingqiu is a little, who is cold. The jade pillow is lovesick, and the dream is broken and parted. Half-awake and asked you, why hurt me to cry. The curtain rolls in the west wind, and the cold penetrates into the warm clothes.

The years are gone, looking through the autumn water. The ink is profound, and it is difficult to tell the wife's intentions. The oath is like water, sweeping away the tears of the world. Looking forward to the coming year, Sijun will return thousands of miles. The night is not cool, and the heart is like spring and a hundred flowers are scarce. The rain was urgent, and the Yiren were full of tears to the mirror.

Chrysanthemum tears, full of lovesickness and speechless. Leaning on the window and thinking about the shadow, there is nowhere to send the lovesickness. The years are like washing, ** autumn water, dripping through the stone like the king's will.

Acacia rain, go with you, stay in the coming year, the autumn wind rises, and the bright moon is loyal.

After reading the lyrics, I sat down and played according to the markings, and the strange thing is that I usually can't even understand the notes, but now I can play so beautifully, and so affectionately?

But just as I was triumphant, suddenly a voice came from a distance, and I heard a woman speaking; You guys hurry up for me, it must be him! It had to be him! I'm wondering, is it the sound of the piano just now that disturbed the owner of the guqin?

Thinking of this, I was shocked in my heart; Not good! If someone misunderstands me, it will be troublesome to deal with me as a piano thief! So he tried to run, but at that moment a woman's voice cried out; Hold it.

I didn't dare to look up, but silently lowered my head and stood motionless, waiting for the owner of the piano to fall, when a woman in a cheongsam, about twenty years old, slowly walked towards me.

And the ladies around her, like her, were all wearing cheongsam, but the colors were different, and they stood in two rows at this time. And the woman is now less than a meter away from me, but suddenly stopped, I dared to raise my head, was about to explain to her, but what I never expected was that this girl hugged me all of a sudden, and kept saying; Shaolang, I know you're coming back, you won't leave me alone, right?

I pushed her away, and said; Beauty, you shouldn't have woken up yet, right? What Shaolang? What to drop you! I think you're sleepy, aren't you? I'm just curious, so I borrowed your piano and sheet music, and your punishment is too great, isn't it?

But whatever I may say; This girl just doesn't let go, and her mouth keeps talking; Am I your Xiao'er? Have you forgotten everything? When you went on the expedition, you promised me! When we come back, we will get married, and you have promised your father the emperor, have you forgotten all this?

I immediately said; What father? You've been making trouble for a long time, and you're really mistaken! I'm not your young man, and you're not my Xiao'er, we're not at the same level, so let me go, right?

At this time, the woman let go of her hand, but at that moment, I saw her face clearly, isn't this the girl in the ancient painting I saw in the ancient tomb of Bailongling? Strange? Could it be that this is a ghost, right?

At this moment I only had one thought, that is, to get out of here quickly, so I turned around and wanted to run, but who knew that this girl grabbed me again and asked; Why did you leave me? Do you know how I got over all these years?

I shook off her hand again and said; Beauty, have you been making trouble for a long time? I've said it all! I'm not your young man, you have to figure it out, it's not that we don't know each other, do you understand?

I didn't expect this woman to be really consumed, so she said to me again; You come with me, I thought about it, if I want to solve this big misunderstanding, then I can only go with her!

So he nodded to her, and then followed behind her, and walked towards these maids, but what he didn't expect was that something even more outrageous happened! I saw these maids, and said neatly and blessedly; Major General auspicious.

I really wanted to scold them a few words, and I was afraid that I would lose my gentlemanly manners, so I pulled my collar and went through the middle, and the woman turned back and said, "Go back first!" Don't wait for me!

The maids answered and turned away, and I smiled at her and asked; Hey, beauty, what's your name? If you were born with us, you would definitely be able to participate in the beauty pageant and win the championship?

The woman looked back at me and smiled, then said; Xiao'er, I said oh, and walked forward with her, at this time, an ancient building appeared in front of me, and Xiao'er just took me in the direction of the ancient building.

It didn't take long to come to the front of the ancient building, this is a building with bamboo forests planted on all sides, in addition to Gupu also has an infinite scholarly atmosphere, I thought, this woman is really not simple, it should be a rare strange woman.

Xiao'er went up the steps, then pushed open the door, and walked in with me, into the room, some extremely luxurious classical furniture, as well as all kinds of precious wood carvings, and what caught my eye was an ancient painting hanging on the wall, on which was the cursive script of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, only to see that it was written;

Nostalgia

The wind swept away the clouds and the clouds were nearly dusk, and the war drums in the school field shook the sky. The wind is waving and dancing, and the horses are galloping. Qianqiao Ancient Road, ten miles to send candied farewell.

The rivers and mountains are picturesque, and blood and tears pour each other. One will be successful, Wang Sun Meng. Forget about the mass grave on the battlefield, the king waved a chess game, and turned the clouds and rain again.

How many red faces, eternal tears, only the water and the moon are left to grow brightly.

I read it and said; Didn't you think you were very talented? The handwriting is so beautiful, and the piano is played so well! I really envy that you can live in such a paradise for a long time, regardless of the world, no wonder you are so otherworldly.

Xiao'er looked at me, and then asked in surprise; You really can't remember it at all? I shook my head and said; Don't doubt me! I'm not your young man, really, you recognized the wrong person!

Xiao'er pulled me up again, and then shouted outside, "Tea", and then, two maids walked in again, each holding a jade plate in their hands, and a very exquisite cup was placed on the jade plate, which should be carved by horns or something, indescribably exquisite and extravagant.

Then the maid came to us, put the teacup on the wooden table in the middle, and then said a good fortune and turned away, and Xiao'er said to me; Sit back and talk slowly!

I was so curious and interested in which two cups I thought to myself, this girl is so good at enjoying it? So I sat down with her, Xiao'er handed me a cup of tea, and then took a cup for herself, and said while drinking; Do you remember what you said to me?

I shook my head and asked; What did I tell you? Tell me about it? Xiao'er looked at me, then stood up and said;

You said you don't like war, because you don't want to see the common people suffer and die in the war, you say you don't want to see the soldiers die on the battlefield one by one for your fighting, so you wrote this poem, and then pointed to which calligraphy and painting on the wall.

You also say; When you come back from this expedition, we will be married, and then we will live in seclusion, and we will not ask about the war, but you know? Just because of your words! How long have I waited for you? After saying that, his eyes began to flush.

At that time, my heart was sour, so I immediately got up and comforted; You don't want to be like this, okay? I thought it was just to comfort her, but I didn't expect her to get more and more excessive, and she threw herself into my arms again, and immediately cried!

At this moment, I always felt someone pulling me behind me, and kept shouting; Wake up, get up soon! What time is it and you're still sleeping?

I woke up when I heard the shouting! When I opened my eyes, I found that the big head kept calling me, and shook vigorously while screaming, but Brother Yang kept laughing and saying; Why do you spend all night talking in your sleep? You can't tell if you ask.

I then remembered that it was all a dream, so I kicked the big head and said; Are you lacking virtue or not? Can't you let me sleep a little longer? What are you doing now? Is it still that early?

The big head smiled and walked away! Brother Yang walked to the bed, then sat down and said; Didn't you say that? Today, let's go to Hulong Mountain and drink with the four gods, this kid with the big head is energetic when he hears it, so he is in a hurry to call you up!

I only then remembered, so I sat up, but soon said to Brother Yang embarrassedly; You say it's easy to say all these things; The question is how do we get there? What should we do if we run into pythons and kobaurs?

Brother Yang touched his head and said; This is easy to do, as long as we find a way to let the four gods know that we are going to find them! You can cross Jiulong Mountain safely and soundly!

I asked again; How do you let them know? Calling or what? You can't buy a string of firecrackers and put them up, right? To put it so nicely, the question is how to let them know!

Brother Yang touched his head again, and then said; You get up first, let's go buy something, and then make preparations when we come back, while your third uncle and Lao Chen are not there today.

Besides! The four gods saved our lives, so we have to pay it back, right? Today bring them some wine and cigarettes or something, and we will buy some meat and roast them to eat, and maybe the four gods will get rid of the python and kobold for us as soon as they are happy.
