The spring rain began to fall on the long street, and the convoy transporting the saplings finally left the city, and Ni Meng followed closely behind me with an oil-paper umbrella, and walked slowly towards the east city gate.

I tried to slow down, but the white skirt of the brocade was still stained with mud. After settling down, I saw a huge stone beside the east city gate, and there was faintly visible handwriting on the stone wall, which was carved on the wall with a long sword.

"At dusk, the east city of the horse, the continuous spring rain is fading. The long wind is lovesick, and the terns fly on the ancient road. Looking at Xiaoshui North ......"

Raising his hand to cover the cold stone wall, his fingers touched the vigorous handwriting, and his eyes began to sour again. This is an unfinished inscription, Willow has a deep affection for tassels, but she has never been found, and if God had opened his eyes to fulfill them earlier, I would have lost the pain I have now.

"Nimeng, let's not go back to Tongshan first, can you accompany me to find tassels?" After pondering for a long time, I turned to Ni Meng who was in a daze on the side.

"Sister Le, are you crazy? The king is so ruthless to you, and you still find tassels for him? And he's been looking for all this time without any clues, how do you find it? Ni Meng held my arm crooked, and her eyes were full of worry.

"If the tassel is still alive, there is only one reason why Willow can't find her, and that is that she is deliberately hiding. According to what Xiao Ran said to me before, the tassel is out of Xuanshan, so we have to go to Xingxing first. After speaking, he took out the bone water from his sleeve, bit his finger, and dripped blood on the stone wall.

Ni Meng looked at my actions in confusion and wanted to step forward to stop it, but I shook my head and said, "Give me the dagger." Puzzled, she took out a dagger from her sleeve and handed it to me. She poured some bone-melting water on the stone wall, and carved the words of Willow's inscription more clearly, hoping that when she sent the tassel back to Long City, she would still be able to see the words on the stone wall.

"Tassels?" There was a faint sound of footsteps, accompanied by a voice of surprise. I turned my head and saw Xiao Ran, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a silver mask, looking at me intently.

"I'm not a tassel." Now that his identity has been revealed, there is no need to lie to him again: "My name is Tang Le, Tongshan Renshi, and I lied to you before because I was helpless, please forgive me." ”

Xiao Ran came to me with a smile and raised his hand to touch my forehead: "In the past three days, you have lost your memory at both ends, have you fallen on your head again?" ”

Coughed dryly, knocked off his hand, turned around and walked towards the inn: "I did have amnesia before, but I'm really not a tassel, I'm going to look for a tassel now, if you have time, you can go with me." ”

"I'd like to see how you can conjure me up with a tassel again!" Xiao Ran followed with interest, so I and Ni Meng's search trip was joined by an extra helper with strong martial arts.

After returning to the inn to pack up his things, he rented a carriage and hired a coachman. We plan to go to the shore of Xiaoshui first, and then buy two horses after we cross the river. It is not far from Longcheng, and we have arrived at Xuanshan outside the city in three days.

I heard Xiao Ran say that the Changqing Temple on the main peak of Xuanshan has a long history and is a famous Buddhist holy place, and the Taoist temple and the nunnery are also built on the secondary peak of Xuanshan. Climb up the 3,000 steps and come all the way to Changqing Temple.

I went into the temple under the pretext of incense, and when I saw that no one was paying attention to us, I quietly came to the backyard.

"It was here that I was wounded by Willow that day, and then fell to the bottom of the cliff, as for you...... As for the tassels, I didn't see them with my own eyes, so I don't know if I also fell off the cliff. Xiao Ran's eyes under the mask were very complicated, which showed that the events of that day really affected him.

I don't know if the monks in this temple have seen what happened, but just as I was thinking about it, I saw a teenager novice sweeping the floor with a broom.

"This little master, I have something I want to ask you about." I walked up to the little novice and said in a kind tone.

Xiao Shami looked at me with a confused expression, and scratched his head in confusion: "What does the donor want to ask?" ”

"I heard that something big happened here a year ago, and it said that someone fell off a cliff from here, right?" I crouched down and looked the little novice in the eye.

"This ...... The master said that it is not allowed to discuss this matter in the temple, and if the deacon finds out, I will be punished again. Xiao Shami lowered his head and looked aggrieved.

Xiao Ran walked over from behind, supported his knees with his hands, leaned over and said, "Little monk, your master said that you are not allowed to talk about it, but you didn't say that you are not allowed to tell others!" If you deceive us, you will be breaking the precepts, and even if the deacon doesn't find out, we will denounce you. ”

After all, it was a child, and after being frightened by Xiao Ran, he dropped his broom and approached us, and whispered: "Last year, a big incident did happen here, King Xiao died here, and then the army of the country surrounded this place. I heard from my brother that three people fell off a cliff that day, but I don't know if they were alive or dead. ”

Three people? Xiao Ran and I were stunned, it seems that the tassel also fell off the cliff, but who is this third person?

"Little monk, you are lying, how could three people fall that day?" Glancing at Xiao Ran, I straightened up and asked.

"The donor also said that the family doesn't talk anymore, how can the little monk lie, the senior brother said that a male donor fell down that day, and then another female donor fell down, zuihou Guojun also jumped down, fortunately, the monarch Jiren Tianxiang, just woke up after a few days of coma. After the monarch succeeded to the throne, he also came to the temple once, as if he came to find a clue to the female benefactor. Xiao Shami said with a serious face, estimating that if we still didn't believe it, he would bring his senior brother as a witness.

"Monarch? Willow ...... "My heart is like being caught, I can't tell what the emotion is, but I am more desperate to find the tassel."

After discussing it with Xiao Rannimeng, I decided to go to the bottom of the cliff for a trip, although after a year, it is impossible to leave any clues, but I still want to take a look.

Xiao Ran said that if you want to go down to the bottom of the cliff, you must bypass the second peak and pass through a plank road. There is a nunnery on the mountainside of the second peak, called Jingruoan, when we pass by the front of the nunnery, a sister-in-law who is nearly forty years old is coming out of it, her eyes swept to me and her expression was startled, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my sleeve: "Tassel!" You're not dead, I know you're not dead, my child, my child......" she said like an octopus, wrapping me in her arms.

"Let it go! You've mistaken someone, I'm not a tassel! Repulsed, he broke free of her hand and took two steps back. The sister-in-law's expression was a little dazed, and she stared at me for a long time, her lips moved, and she finally didn't speak.

"Mrs. Hibiscus, don't come unharmed!" Xiao Ran raised his hand to protect me behind him, and said to the sister-in-law with an awe-inspiring expression.
