Chapter 203: Ascension
Climbing the mountain and climbing the steps, the green bamboo sandwich road, the cool breeze is blowing, the blue bird put on an unfashionable fox fur for His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Fengnian is already slender, and the skin bag is excellent, so that the prince has added a lot of dusty gas, like a wild fox Yiren, Princess Pei Nanwei of Jing'an, and Murong sister and brother followed, the old sword god Li Chungang stayed at the foot of the mountain to guard the carriage, so he did not accompany him, and he was cheap Shu Xi can leave his post without permission once, while admiring the mountains and mountains of the bamboo sea, while quietly looking at the back at close range. When Pei Nanwei saw that there was a small lake as clear as a mirror on the mountainside, it was quite amazing, especially in the center of the lake, there was a beautiful bamboo raft made of Nanzhu on the lakeside, the green bamboo was reflected, the wind and the bamboo waves sounded, just like a fairyland. Xu Fengnian did not intend to disturb the owner of the bamboo building in the lake, and walked straight towards a green and graceful bamboo by the lake, the toes were gentle, the bamboo was unyielding, and it had always been compared to the temperament of the scholars and literati. Xu Fengnian didn't have a reason to think of Wang Chuxue's sentence that last night's shower knocked on a lonely bamboo, but the people's distress? Stopped on the bamboo and looked out, the bamboo building in the center of the lake was full of smoke, and after waking up from Emperor Wu City, he received a secret letter from Chu Lushan, Xu Fengnian learned that the guy riding the bull finally went down the mountain, and one had already made a blockbuster, riding the crane Jiangnan, saving the eldest sister from Yuan Tingshan's hands, not to mention, but also driving the Lu Zu sword to fly to Longhu Mountain, and Zhao Huangchao was thousands of miles away from the next few words, the dragon pond luck lotus withered nine flowers, sensational in the world, the gods can no longer be immortals, Xu Fengnian does not know how this guy is involved with Lu Zu Qi Xuanjiao, for His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, as long as this coward is single-minded to the eldest sister, and is liked by the eldest sisterWhat if you are just a nameless sweeper in Wudang Mountain? The Xu family is majestic in Beiliang, swallowing thousands of miles, and 300,000 iron horsemen are facing a huge Beimang Dynasty, and they have the courage to match their family background. After getting this terrifying news that is said to be discussed in the palace, it was originally difficult to understand why Zhao Xuansu was a killer, and finally had some eyebrows, Kuanglu Mountain Zhao Huangchao Tianren out of the body, Huishan Yuan Tingshan, Jiangnan Dao eldest sister was assassinated, the young master taught Hong Xixiang under Wudang, the Tianshi Mansion Longchi changed, Longhu Mountain Zhao Xuansu was born, and the turmoil in Wudi City was strung into a line, although there are definitely many unknown private and conspiracy, but the main context is probably the same,
After Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, he caught a glimpse of Murong Wuzhu with red cheeks and pink cheeks out of the corner of his eye, and he stood by the lake to peep at himself, only felt funny, and asked: "I heard that Emperor Wu City Wang Xianzhi is burly, with big ears and round eyes, a beard like a halberd, white hair like snow, and his momentum is very violent. The more timid will be heartbroken at a glance. β
This question embarrassed Murong Wuzhu, she blushed and said softly: "Wuzhu went out of the city with His Highness at that time, and he was in a hurry, and he couldn't see it really, so I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." β
Xu Fengnian comforted gently: "This son of the world just said casually, don't be nervous." β
Except for Murong Wuzhu, Pei Nanwei was very stingy, without the slightest awareness of a caged bird, almost competing against each other in everything, and felt that there was more of a princess than the princess Jing'an in Xiangfan City. But recently, there has always been a sigh of shame and pressure, and I finally became proficient in the means of serving people, my face is ugly, and I simmer slowly, but that's it. Emperor Murong Tong has a gloomy temperament and seems to have a deformed penchant for power, Xu Fengnian guessed that his hereditary replacement of the King of Beiliang was far more deterrent than his own words and deeds, Xu Fengnian did not like Emperor Murong Tong's city very much. As for Shu Xi, a woman who has cultivated into a refined human relationship, she has been crawling in the two major dye vats of the rivers and lakes and the palace, and she has long lost her innocence and kindness to the dog and fed the dog, this stunner woman with infinitely good chest scenery, since she is a prince who is not even more than a few taels of meat on her chest, Xu Fengnian can also go to bed with her fingers hooked, but when the time comes, I don't know who takes advantage of whom, Xu Fengnian is not hungry and thirsty to this extent.
Murong Wuzhu looked at His Royal Highness the Prince standing on the green bamboo, her eyes overflowed with undisguised love and reverence, her emotions and thoughts are far simpler and clearer than her younger brother Murong Tonghuang, Xu Fengnian once saved their sister and brother in dire straits, whether the road is uneven, or pushing the boat along the river, she is firmly concerned about this great kindness, from Jianzhou Guniu Dagang all the way, her joys, sorrows and sorrows are up and down because of the young son in front of her, especially in the city of Emperor Wu, he walked to the head of the city with a bowl, sat cross-legged, and said endless romance, Murong Wuzhu only felt drunk, as if he had drunk a pot of good wine, and he had not eased up so farγ Outside Emperor Wu City, Xu Fengnian drew a knife to split the body of the ancestor of Longhu Mountain, and she was even more frightened when she saw it, she only had one thought at that time, if he unfortunately died, she would not want to live. Emperor Murong Tong squinted at his sister, and just looked at her emotion coldly.
Xu Fengnian gathered his fur, and was about to turn back and go down the mountain, when he suddenly saw the bamboo door in the center of the lake slowly open, and walked out of a woman who had to see the vague figure clearly from a distance by the lakeside, even if she saw it vaguely, it was also heartwarming, Xu Fengnian's side was even if it was Murong Tonghuang, and it was also a peerless beauty, not to mention that Pei Nanwei was a beauty on the rouge review, but so that ordinary people coveted and envied the flowers, after the woman appeared in the field of vision, it seemed that most of the style was taken away in an instant, the woman competed in appearance, similar to the tricks of the masters of the rivers and lakes, and was very particular about the first to win people, the woman in the bamboo building in the center of the lake, the wooden hairpin plain clothes, walked to the moss stone steps near the lake and squatted, grabbed a handful of water with both hands, gently moistened his cheeks, and then turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian's side from afar.
She didn't say anything, just quietly looked at this group of uninvited guests, she was always empty and independent. Xu Fengnian, who was in a brocade fox fur, was stunned, his eyes flashed in a trance, and he hesitated for the first time. Pei Nanwei frowned, faintly unhappy, not to compete with the unmasked strange woman to be jealous, but she has always been conceited of her own appearance, rarely meet opponents, the bamboo building was born out of nowhere, after all, Princess Jing'an gave birth to some instinctive sense of crisis, sure enough, as long as there are people, where is not the rivers and lakes? Elder Xu Feng exhaled, waved his hand to signal Shu Xi and the others not to make a move, and catapulted from the green bamboo under his feet to the bamboo raft, no need to support the raft, Nanzhu small raft paddled the water waves, leisurely sailed to the center of the lake, the bamboo raft stopped three feet away from the green bamboo building, the woman stood up and looked at Xu Fengnian, her sideburns were moistened by the lake water, sticking to her cheeks, a few drops of water slipped from her snow-white skin that could be broken by blowing, she reached out to wipe the shallow fresh water on her chin, and did not speak.
Xu Fengnian took the initiative to smile and said, "I saw you on the bank of the Luoshui River three years ago. But at that time, I was crowded in a group of young knights who showed love to you, and it took me a long time to fight a bloody way, and I finally came up, and I was tripped and stumbled, and I guess you won't notice me. β
She thought for a moment and said calmly: "I remember that at that time, you were relatively thin. β
Unexpectedly answered, Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "Where is thin, it is clearly a ragged beggar, and it is fortunate that he can be taken care of by the young lady." β
Seeing that Xu Fengnian wanted to speak and stopped, she smiled and said, "My name is Chen Yu." β
Really!
There are women on the rouge list who "do not lose to Nangong". It is a beauty that goes hand in hand with the face of a white fox.
Xu Fengnian looked gentle, frugal, humble, and shy, and asked softly, "Miss Chen lives here alone?"
She smiled and nodded.
Xu Fengnian sighed, jumped ashore gently, and the next scene made the few people by the lake stunned, only to see His Royal Highness the Prince bend down and pick up the bamboo building woman, jump on the bamboo raft, and leave the center of the lake.
She bent her slender waist, her head was on the chest of His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Fengnian looked down, and the two happened to look at each other. She undoubtedly has a pair of aura eyes, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is known as the wandering flowers for more than 20 years without a defeat, reading countless women, what kind of stunning beauty has not been seen? But these eyes, but the only one comparable to the second sister Xu Weixiong, the eyes of the white fox face are too cold, just like his former saber embroidered winter and spring thunder, heroic and incomparable, not to mention how much show and gentleness. At this time, she raised her head and stared at His Royal Highness the bold Prince, without the slightest shock, fear and shyness, and there was a faint trace of anger hidden in her eyes, which was enough to make ordinary disciples ashamed of themselves to hang themselves by their hair, but unfortunately she bumped into Xu Fengnian, who was used to lawlessness.
Xu Fengnian lowered his head and squinted, smiled brightly, and said arrogantly and scoundrelly: "I promised to rob my younger brother of one of the best beauties to be his daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, we will be a family in the future!"
The woman, who had been looking unwavering, finally showed her stunnedness.
It is not surprising that there are children who rob the people's daughters on the street, and there are mountain bandits and grass cowards who kidnap Meijiao-Niang to be the wife of the village, but there are still bastards in this world who rob beauties to be their daughters-in-law?
The old and sophisticated Shu shy blinked, the corners of his mouth hooked, he could snatch a woman so domineeringly, he deserved to be the son of Beiliang.
ββββ
An inconspicuous carriage drove into the capital, and the horseman was a young Taoist priest in a simple Taoist robe, not to mention how handsome, carrying a long sword that was not in line with the times, with a gentle expression, and at first glance he was a good talker. The city gate is sealed with nine ridges and ten dragons, majestic and magnificent, the carriage has only one passenger, sits in a batch, leans on the back of the young Taoist, listens to the young Taoist say something about the various wonders of the city of the capital, and listens to him tell how to connect with Kunlun in the same vein, how the emperor of the Taihe Hall listens to the south and listens to the world, and how the six palaces and seven institutes in the east and west of the inner court are built according to the hexagram, the young Taoist priest is not old, but the truth is not small, and the beautiful woman said that the city of the world is in the final analysis the pursuit of the realm of interpenetration with heaven and earth. The woman's face is thin, wrapped in a mink fur that is not too expensive, like a small jasper that comes out of a medium and solid person's house, mink fur is miscellaneous, not as beautiful as fox fur, if it is a generous woman who likes to compare in the capital, they all disdain to wear this kind of mink fur, unless it is a Kanto ferret. The woman listened to the young Taoist's soft chatter, her eyes closed, and a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth. When she entered the city, she sniffed and whispered that it was so fragrant. The Taoist priest turned his head and saw a restaurant, knowing that she was hungry, immediately stopped the carriage, jumped off, helped her into the restaurant, and chose a position on the third floor with a wide view from the window, she only ordered a vegetarian dish for herself, and then ordered a pot of wine for the Taoist priest who was walking together, which made the disappointed shopkeeper roll his eyes, thinking that this pair of foreign men and women was too stumbling, and finally came to the capital for a trip, and did not know how to bring more silver, the shopkeeper regretted giving them this seat, the wine went first, the Taoist priest poured two glasses, the vegetarian roasted eggplant is the restaurant's signboard, she was attracted by this unique fragranceγ
She took a pair of chopsticks, tasted it, smiled and narrowed her eyes, and also helped the Taoist priest clip a piece into the bowl, and said with a smile: "Delicious, the eggplant is peeled and cut into four petals, the knife is very fine, peel half of the garlic and crush it, not chop, twist the small heat and slowly stir thoroughly, three eggplants in the pot, to the table is just this six-inch small plate, the key is to make the soybean sauce and garlic and the taste of the eggplant complement each other, and no one will overpower whom, so this eggplant is sold more expensive than meat, we didn't spend money in vain." β
The shopkeeper was originally a little resentful, but after hearing the woman's explanation of the doorway, his mood improved slightly, thinking that this beautiful but sickly woman was still an expert.
The young Taoist priest tasted it, did not speak, just smiled, and looked a little silly.
The woman put down the chopsticks after tasting it, looked out the window at the car and horses, held her cheeks, and said regretfully: "To eat according to your Taoism, people are born with the spirit of heaven and earth, so the season is very important, those dishes must be made at four o'clock, I was originally a foodie, not afraid of fat, in this season, but it is a good time to supplement autumn fat, just let go of your appetite to eat, in winter, even if it is cold, I am not afraid." It's a pity that now there is no appetite for anything, alas. β
The young Taoist priest was silent, his eyes lowered. This is with her all the way, where she wants to go, he will take it, no matter how far away, no matter how lofty the mountains are, he will take her to enjoy the scenery, just ask her to return happy.
In the old Xishu, I took her to see the most spectacular bamboo sea in the world.
In the old Xichu, I went to see the ruins of the West Barrier.
Further south, he took her to the nunnery, where she asked for a lot, but it was signed.
Go to the extreme west, there are mountains that can reach the sky.
Then, she said that she wanted to go and see the capital.
Most of the diners in the restaurant are local people in the capital, the most good at hearsay, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, with a sense of superiority above the top, as if there is no one in the world who they do not know, and the most exciting hustle and bustle of the moment, at first the battle between Wang Xianzhi and the one-armed Li Chungang of the East China Sea Wudi City, can be called the most thrilling pinnacle battle in the rivers and lakes in the past 50 years, and then the young master of Wudang Mountain surnamed Hong went down the mountain, I heard that there seems to be a flying sword for thousands of miles, and it is rumored that the Taoist priest is the reincarnation of Lu Zu as a general immortal figure, which suddenly made the Taoist ancestral court Longhu Mountain lose its color, and the most sensational thing is that the land immortal has only gone down the mountain for much time, then took a woman to the territory of several spring and autumn dynasties, sword after sword, the old Western Shu Dongyue only a little bit of luck pillar to collapse, to the west to Kunlun, hundreds of the world's top refiners are flocking forward, hoping to witness the immortal sword slash luck of the majestic spirit, there is a secret news quickly into the capital, when the person cut out with a sword, the pillar of luck as thick as a mountain peak will be shattered, so that thousands of listeners in the world are dumbfounded, are curious about the world is not really such a immortal who does not ascend to the immortalοΌ
Someone in the restaurant spat around, "That Wudang Sect Leader doesn't look young on the surface, but in fact, he has lived for hundreds of years, at least three hundred years, a full five Jiazi!"
Immediately, some people wondered: "Isn't that much more than the old master Wang Chonglou?" Since he is so old, why didn't he go down the mountain until recently, if he really has magical powers, where will it be the turn of Longhu Mountain to be the prime minister of the feather coat?"
Originally, the man slapped the case and said angrily: "This real person is a well-deserved land immortal, how can I and other laymen know his thoughts?!"
Countless people nodded in agreement: "Indeed." "That's how it should be!" "I heard that the big people in the Daomen will be cheap and noble, and they will be simple, and they don't care about the worldly name. β
Listening to all the discussions, the woman with her cheeks in front of the window turned around and looked at the young Taoist priest across the table, her eyes narrow.
The young Taoist blushed.
Outside the street, thunder and horses' hooves rang out, smashing the ground like an earthquake.
A few tables of diners near the window looked over, startled, it was a rare elite Yulin Army in the imperial city, and there were more than dozens of iron horsemen, the Yulin Army has always been the guard of the capital of the dynasty, and the combat power can be called invincible, for a time the streets were full of iron armor, the horse team seemed to have no end, and it didn't take long to occupy the entire main road of the capital, and every Yulin guard was tense, and the leading generals were the most powerful and prestigious meritorious generals in the capitalγ Today's pomp and circumstance is terrifyingly magnificent, and the Son of Heaven may not be so vast when he goes out on patrol, and some discerning people have seen a trace of heavy vigilance that is deeply involved in the war, which makes people feel even more chilling. How many bear hearts and leopard galls do you have to eat, and how many lives do you have to eat?
Laymen look at the excitement, only real insiders can see the way out, in addition to nearly a thousand feather forest guards and almost poured out of the nest of the big internal masters, there are dozens of first-class great qi refiners in the dynasty to hold their breath.
The woman sighed, "Let's go back." β
The young Taoist priest nodded and asked gently, "Where do you want to go?"
The woman smiled: "Go to Wudang Mountain, the place where we met for the first time, if you don't go again, I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold it." β
The young Taoist priest asked, "Ride a crane out of the city?" or take a carriage?"
The woman came to the child's heart, blinked and said, "If you ride in the carriage, will it cause you trouble?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said softly, "No." β
The woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly got up.
The young Taoist priest blushed and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
The woman held it.
They walked out of the restaurant together, and when the sword priest appeared on the street, those of today's top Qi Cultivators all retreated a step back, and even the Yulin Army, which was known for its fierceness and fearlessness, did not dare to breathe.
The young Taoist priest gently carried the woman into the carriage, turned the horse's head towards the city gate, turned his eye to the iron armor all over the street, grabbed the horsewhip with one hand, and held the woman's cool hand with the other, and said calmly: "Give way." β
A military general suppressed the restless steed and said angrily: "Bold Wudang Hong washes the elephant, dare to disobey the rules in the capital?!"
The city was in an uproar.
The young Taoist priest said indifferently: "Poor Dao doesn't know your rules. As for your royal law, no matter how big it is, it can't be as big as the sword behind the poor road. β
There was a young armor soldier beside the middle-aged military general, holding a silver spear, and when he heard the words, he was about to ride his horse forward, but was stopped by the general's hand.
The woman said softly, "Let's go." β
The Taoist priest's face suddenly softened, nodded, and clenched her hand.
Almost all the horses on the street knelt down in an instant, people turned on their backs, chickens and dogs jumped, and there were no rules at all.
On this day, Wudang Hong Xixiang and Xu Zhihu left the city, and no one dared to stop them.
On this day, the world knows that the woman who loves to wear red clothes is called Xu Zhihu.
Wudang Little Lotus Peak.
The clouds are shrouded.
Chen Xuan, Song Zhifang, Yu Xingrui, the three old Taoist priests with the highest rank in Wudang, all stood side by side, leaving the top of the mountain to the pair of men and women, and the three old men looked at each other, with pride, regret, regret, and mixed feelings.
Except for the three young senior brothers in charge of the teaching, there is only Li Yupu, an "outsider" who has just joined Wudang.
Yesterday, the head of the sect went up the mountain and told them one thing, which can be described as the most incredible feat in the rivers and lakes in the past 500 years.
No matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, Chen Miao and the other senior brothers were unwilling to obstruct it.
The young Taoist priest and the woman in red sat side by side on the edge of the base of the turtle camel monument, she shook her feet, she didn't know what he was going to do, she just looked at the seventy-two peaks in the sea of clouds, and said sadly: "Bull rider, maybe I can't grow old with you." β
When he was fourteen years old, the two met for the first time.
After the reunion in Jiangnan, she knew that she would not live long, but when she rode the yellow crane, she only felt that she had no regrets in this life.
He took her all over the world.
Seeing that he didn't move, she wrinkled her nose and turned her head, knocked on his head, and asked, "What, are you still stupid to wait for me in the next life?"
The young Taoist priest thought about it and just shook his head.
Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she bit her lip and asked, "Are you going to wait for me any longer?"
The young master of the bull riding reached out and rubbed the woman's cheek, wiped away her tears, and said with warm eyes: "If I said that you should wait for me for three hundred years, are you willing to wait?"
She said without hesitation: "You have waited for me for seven hundred years, and I have waited for you for three hundred years, of course you can." β
After meeting again, the young Taoist priest who was limited to holding hands plucked up his courage, hugged her gently, and said with a smile: "Okay." β
She wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured, "What a coward. β
He asked, "Are you really not going to see the Great General and His Royal Highness?"
She smiled and shook her head: "Don't look at it, I'm afraid they will be sad." Afraid that they will shed tears. β
The young Taoist priest took a deep breath, and when the woman snuggled into his arms, the so-called Lu Zu saber that was placed on the edge of the turtle camel monument came out of its sheath, rose to the sky, and shot towards the sky, as if it was going to reach the heavenly court before stopping.
The clouds of the Nine Heavens drooped and drooped.
The whole Wudang Mountain is purple and mighty.
He said loudly: "Poor Dao scattered people Lu Dongxuan five hundred years ago, Longhu Mountain Qi Xuanjiao fifty years ago, and now Wudang Hong washes the elephant, and has cultivated seven hundred years of merit. β
"Poor Dao vows, willing to cultivate for the righteous path of heaven and earth for another three hundred years!"
"Just ask for heaven and earth to open a line, so that Xu Zhihu can soar!"
The voice of the young Taoist priest was like a bell, resounding throughout the world.
"Ask Xu Zhihu to fly up on the crane!"
Yellow cranes chirp in unison.
There was a red-clothed crane riding into the gate of heaven.
The young Taoist priest reincarnated by Lu Zu sat down cross-legged, looked at the falling sword that was destined to untie him, and closed his eyes with a smile.
Chen Miao and others couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and the old tears were rampant.
There is a rainbow behind the sword, born on the top of the young Taoist priest's head, across the large and small lotus peaks, gorgeous and unparalleled.
