Mirage
Lian Chung glanced at the snow-capped mountain, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart, as if something was calling him. I was stunned, there was darkness in front of me, and in a trance, I had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and came to a bamboo house. The bamboo house was very elegant, built on the edge of a pond, and the sound of the piano could be heard from afar. On the edge of the pond, a pair of children in white clothes are fluttering butterflies. At first glance, Lian Chung thought it was Yao Quan and Yu Xue's two daughters, so he smiled and wanted to say hello. When they looked closely, the two girls suddenly turned their faces to look at him, but they were clearly Zhang Linghui and Su Qianxue. The little Zhang Linghui smiled shyly at him, took Xiao Su Qianxue's hand, and ran towards the bamboo house.
Lian Chung smiled slightly, wanting to see what the two little girls were doing, but they couldn't lift their feet. On the other hand, Yan Qi sneered: "Hey, the Great Love Saint, won't you let go of a little girl with such a small face?"
Lian Chung smiled, and the man on the small stone god mountain sighed and said, "Ask what the world is like, and teach life and death to make a promise." He patted Lian Chung on the shoulder. Lian Chung was able to move immediately. The two children didn't walk fast. Lian Chung stepped forward, and Xiao Su Qianxue grimaced at him: "Hey, what are you doing with us?"
Lian Chung was about to answer, but Xiao Su Qianxue's body suddenly blurred. Lian Chung tried to catch her, but she grinned at him and disappeared. Xiao Zhang Linghui smiled and said, "You don't have to bother. She's gone. ”
Lian Chung felt a sudden pain in his heart and asked, "Where is she going?"
Xiao Zhang Linghui smiled slightly, did not answer, turned around and walked into the bamboo house. Lian Chung hurriedly shouted, "Little girl, please wait!"
There was no sound in the bamboo house. Lian Chung stepped forward, and Monk Xiulin suddenly appeared, with a solemn and solemn expression, and said to him: "Master Lian, you can't take another step forward!"
Lian Chung frowned and said, "Why are you weird, I'm going to ask Qianxue's whereabouts, and you can let it go!" Xiulin didn't stop him, turned sideways and got out of the way: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." ”
The bamboo house suddenly became deep and dark, and it seemed to be a bloody mouth. Lian Chung faintly felt that this bamboo house would devour people's hearts. When I looked up, a plaque with gold characters on a white background appeared on the lintel, with three big characters of "Void Heart" written on it. Ordinary plaques are mostly gold on a black background, and this plaque is gold on a white background, and there is a thick layer of black gas lingering on it. Hanging on this originally elegant bamboo house, it is very weird. Lian Chung hesitated slightly, and stepped towards the door.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind him and grabbed him by the collar. The man used so much force that he almost dragged him off his horse. Lian Chung blinked, and the bamboo house, the pond, the plaque, the monk, all disappeared. When I looked back, I saw a pair of big bright eyes full of worry and anger.
Aina shouted angrily at Darius, "Your Royal Highness Second Prince, what are you doing!"
Darius shrugged his eyebrows and laughed, "My most beautiful and proud little cousin of the Otsuki clan, the foolish brother is just making a little joke with your lover, why are you so excited?"
Aina said angrily: "He was just injured, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of mirage, and you still teased him!"
Darius quickly made a frightened look, laughed and rode away. Lian Chung saw Aina clutching herself, and she didn't know what it was like. As she was about to speak, Aina glanced at him and said, "I just don't want you to die in your own illusions! Be careful of these mirages, people often die at their hands!" Suddenly he took out a curved bow, drew a blood-red eagle wolf tooth arrow, and shot it at a large red crab not far away. The arrow caught the moon like a meteor, and it nailed the crab to death by the sand dune. Seeing this, a group of crabs on the side burrowed into the sand and disappeared. Lian Chung applauded and laughed, "Good archery!" Aina glanced back and walked away in anger. Lian Chung touched his nose and smiled bitterly.
Ayiguli in the back chuckled: "Although Aina has a big temper, I have never seen her care about a person so much. Why are you so resistant to her? Isn't she beautiful?"
Lian Chung believed in Ma You's reins, and sighed abruptly: "How can she not be beautiful? It's just that I have too many love debts, so I don't want to provoke them, or don't provoke them." ”
Ayiguli thought for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid of hurting her?"
Lian Chung nodded: "I have a lot of things to do, and I don't know when I will be able to stay with people for a long time." What I have to do is I'm afraid I'll die for a lifetime. I've already had a lot of love debts with several women, and I'm afraid I can't afford it anymore. ”
Ayiguli wondered, "But those women, when you accepted them, you didn't have these concerns?"
Lian Chung was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, sometimes there are. After thinking about it carefully, I looked at Ayiguli, what I said to you, don't laugh at me. Ayiguli nodded.
The man on the Little Stone Divine Mountain suddenly jumped out, made a grimace, and said with a smile: "You say you say!"
Lian Chung smiled, looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, was silent for a long time, and said: "I first came out of the rivers and lakes at the age of sixteen and met a fairy-like big sister. She was twenty-four years old, the most beautiful age for a woman. I have been saddle up with her for more than a year, and I can finally join hands with her. It's just that although she is close at hand, I always feel like the end of the world is close at hand. Later, I slowly learned that she had never forgotten her master. She took me back to the master's gate, just to anger her master. I didn't expect her master to be really angry. When he saw me, he was very angry, and directly hugged her and rode away. By the time I saw them again, she had become his youngest wife. ”
Ayiguli smiled and said, "This big sister must be very beautiful?"
Lian Chung smiled self-deprecatingly: "At the time, I thought she was a fairy, but later I found out that her appearance was actually only in the middle and upper." It's just that she is gentle and charming, but it really makes young people irresistible. ”
Xiao Shi grinned and said, "The poor boy has lost his body and heart, so miserable!"
Lian Chung glanced at him, and smiled himself: "Who can resist such a woman, young man?" In fact, although I was discouraged and uncomfortable at the time, now that I think about it, I am still very grateful for everything she has given me. ”
Ayiguli sighed lightly: "Yes, who can forget their first love... ”
Lian Chung looked at her and bowed his head slightly: "Yes." At that time, it was just ordinary. ”
Ayiguli originally just thought of her first love and husband, but when he said it, she suddenly thought of her young and dead child, and couldn't help but mourn. I choked for a long time before I took a deep breath and was silent.
Xiao Shi couldn't bear her grief a little, and said to Lian Song: "Then what happened later, who did you meet later?"
Lian Chung chuckled and said, "Later, I was very cynical for a while, and I didn't want to be tempted by the girl again." It wasn't until I returned to Yandang Mountain later that my two junior sisters, one delicate and lovely, and the other gentle and elegant, finally let me come out. ”
Xiaoshi nodded: "Oh, I see." ”
Lian Chung looked at Ayiguli and sighed lightly: "My master was attacked by the Demon Sect, the little junior sister died on the spot, and the second junior sister was taken captive. I came to the Western Regions to find out the whereabouts of my second junior sister. ”
Ayiguliqi said: "Has your second junior sister been caught here?"
Lian Chung shook his head, a little dazed: "I don't know either." All I know is that the Demon Cult has activities in the Great Eclipse. They set up a Hell Six Blood Array in Yandang, which is said to have come from the Great Eclipse. ”
Ayiguli frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I really haven't heard of this formation, but Teacher Hosru probably knows. ”
Lian Chung smiled: "Yes." I'm going to ask for advice then. ”
Ayiguli said: "Then in this way, you don't owe any love debts?"
Xiao Shi laughed "sneering", Lian Chung made a gesture to hit him, Xiao Shi stuck out his tongue at him, and said to Ayiguli: "Do you think oh? He is the first love saint in the past! It is really rare to see one and love one like him!"
Lian Chung didn't want to mention it anymore, but as soon as he said it, he sighed and said: "I was once injured, and there is a demon woman who has been secretly taking care of me by my side. After Yandang was attacked, he sacrificed his life to save me. Later, I was depressed, drank too much, and got along with a county lord, His Royal Highness. And then ... After hesitating for a moment, he still said Zhang Linghui and Su Qianxue, in addition to some fragrant plots, even his hesitation at that time was repeated, and he probably said something.
Although Xiao Shi knew about him and his daughters, he was really not worthy of his mental journey, and his eyebrows danced when he heard it. Seeing the vicissitudes of life on Lian Song's face, Ayiguli smiled and said, "Actually, why do you have to suffer yourself? In my opinion, when those female moths put out the fire, they didn't know your situation. ”
The blue sky is like washing, and the camel bell is long. Lian Chung smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know, but I always feel that I owe them a lot." ”
Ayiguli smiled: "Let go of your own restraints." Like my angelically beautiful little sister. If you want her now, you may hurt her in the future, and if you don't want her now, you will hurt her now. We have a proverb that a fool will give up today's happiness for the sake of an unknown tomorrow. It seems like you're talking about it. ”
Lian Chung laughed, and all the people of the Yue Clan looked sideways. Ayiguli grabbed the horse's belly and chased after Aina. Xiaoshi glanced at Lian Chung: "I think she makes a lot of sense." ”
Lian Chung smiled and nodded: "Sometimes, even if you know it makes sense, you can't do that." ”
Xiao Shi tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "I think you're thinking too much." ”
Lian Chung laughed: "Yes." That's why I'm who I am. Pulling the reins: "Run!" The horse was very handsome, and walked slowly for a long time, and kept beating his nose impatiently. Now he was relieved, and immediately he raised his head and ran forward like an arrow.
Xiao Shi looked at Lian Song's distant back in confusion, a little inexplicably happy, and also waved his whip and chased after him.
The group traveled lightly, and when they walked to Shen Chu, they arrived in front of Shahan City. This Shahan City has been built under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for 600 years, and it is boxy, simple and majestic. The gate was three feet high, and could accommodate ten horses walking side by side. The Venerable Man of the Sacred Mountain looked at the city gate, nodded and said, "I have heard that the Otsuki clan is peaceful and prosperous, and the surrounding countries are constantly conquering, but only the Otsuki clan has always been peaceful and peaceful. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”
Darius smiled, "But Master Kecheng, you have said something." ”
Lian Songqi said: "The surrounding countries, don't they have any ambitions for the Dayue Clan?"
Darius sneered and said, "How is it possible! Hundreds of years ago, the last emperor of Dawan was absurd and cruel, and as the only Wu country at that time, he actually introduced Tianzhu's Buddhism, the Western Xingyue Sect, and later the more Western Nestorian Religion. The last emperor Chipili allowed it to develop, and as a result, a good Dawan Empire, according to faith, was divided into four. Later, you beat me and I beat you, and it became the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions today. However, more than 100 years ago, Kangju and Jule attacked our country one after another, but after the country was destroyed, no one dared to come to Luo again. ”
Xiao Shi pretended to count his hands, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that there is Buddhism, Xingyue Sect and Jingjiao?
Darius smiled: "I don't believe in any of the big moon clans, and I can't help but believe in any religion among the common people, so it's four points." ”
Lian Chung didn't know anything about that period of history, but he was surprised that the Dayue clan actually claimed to be Dawan orthodox, and couldn't help asking: "So the entire Dayue clan is from the Wu clan?"
Darius laughed, shook his head, and said, "How is it possible? Unlike the Central Plains, our Western Regions have not said anything about the distinction between people, demons, witches and gods since a thousand years ago, but they have lived together with various races, but there has been no dispute because of this matter. Now it's probably only my big moon clan royal family, which is the more orthodox Wu clan bloodline. He frowned and said, "However, some people believe in religion, and they don't see people believing in other religions, so they always make some trouble." ”
Lian Chung was surprised to be so indifferent to the differences of various ethnic groups here, but after thinking about it, he had to admire the people who brought about this situation back then. said with a smile: "The Great Moon Clan is in a corner, but it is not easy to become the center of commerce and trade in the Western Regions. ”
Darius was a little complacent, and said: "I, the Dayue clan, encourage commerce and trade, reduce taxes, have access to cars and horses, the world is peaceful, and it is located on important roads, how can merchants from all over the world not come?"
When Aina heard this, she said with some negative anger: "I don't know what the national teacher and the eldest prince think!"
Darius glanced at her, a little stunned: "My country has been peaceful for a long time, so naturally there will be some twists and turns." ”
Lian Chung only knew that the two of them were talking about the court of the other country, but it was not suitable to say anything. As he spoke, the procession had come under the city gates. Aina glanced at the commander of the city and whispered something to Darius with a look of disgust, who smiled silently. Aina looked at Lian Chung again, hesitated for a moment, and rode away. Ayiguli smiled apologetically at Lian Chung and Xiao Shi and followed.
The general who defended the city was dressed in armor, with a pointed face and a high nose, and his beard covered most of his face. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Darius, but he was stiff and expressionless: "The last general will see the second prince." According to the law of my Otsutsuki clan, the last general will search the three carriages behind the second prince. ”
Of the three carriages, the back two were filled with tents and stoves, but in the first one were Han Yan and Yan Qi. Yan Qi shrank in the carriage early this morning, and he didn't know what he was doing, and Han Yan ignored him. Although Lian Chung couldn't understand the general's words, he saw that he was looking at Han Yan's carriage with an unkind expression. frowned, knowing that he had met the second prince's opponent.
Sure enough, Darius ignored the general, and his own knights stepped forward to negotiate. The general insisted on enforcing the law according to the law, and refused to let him go. After delaying half the incense in this way, the knight didn't know what to say, which made the general very angry. Suddenly picked up the scimitar, pointed at Han Yandao's carriage, and cursed loudly.
Darius was so embarrassed by the generals of his own country in front of his guests, but he was not angry in the slightest. Just grinning and watching the general point to the sky. As soon as it was too late, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from the carriage, splitting half of the general's helmet and cutting off a lot of hair, but it didn't hurt his skin at all. The general was stunned on the spot, and Lian Chung high-fived and smiled: "Good marksmanship!"
A cold sentence came from the carriage: "I missed." ”
