The ugly time is about to end, and the time is approaching, sitting alone in the Xuanwu Mansion, under the ancient tree, reminiscing about the Xuanyuan of the past of this immortal city, and his thoughts are clean and pure. www.biquge.info It is true that at the beginning, he would feel sad, helpless, and feel that he was too powerless, but not long ago, when those past scenes were recalled in his mind, he suddenly remembered the words he had said when the previous lord retreated from him: In your life, you will face a lot of unbearable choices.
Xuan Yuan recalled those words, and his irritable state of mind finally settled down little by little, and he became calm and calm.
He no longer thought about what kind of actions the other three mansions that couldn't sleep would take place this night, and he no longer thought about how the hearts of those people in the city who came from various cities outside the world with different hearts were churning violently in such a situation.
He didn't think about it, just because it didn't have much to do with him. For a long time, because of the inexplicable pressure, he has endured too much, and unconsciously has a ridiculous idea that he has no responsibility in the world.
Xuan Yuan faced the void air and smiled, at this moment, he understood that in this situation, all he had to do and what he could do was to save the lives of the Xuanwu people.
Xuan Yuan felt the coolness, got up slowly, he had figured everything out, his heart was no longer heavy, and he wanted to go back to the room to take a little rest before dawn came.
However, when the footsteps landed silently, a slightly dull sound sounded as if an invisible hand was knocking on the door of the mansion that had not been touched by outsiders for hundreds of years.
When Xuan Yuan heard this, his thoughts flipped over, and he really couldn't think of who came to knock on the door at such a time.
Rao is like this, Xuan Yuan still turned around and walked silently towards the door of the mansion.
There was only one tapping, and the sound melted into the darkness, and if you didn't listen carefully, you might think it was a hallucination.
Xuan Yuan raised his arm and gently opened the door bolt, as the door opened little by little, Xuan Yuan's eyes gradually appeared in the white robe, the moment his eyes touched it, I have to say that the surprise in his heart was still quite obvious.
Finally, the door of the mansion opened to allow one person to pass through, and he stopped moving, Xuan Yuan was slightly stunned because of his surprise, and just blocked the passage that people wanted to enter.
Dressed in white, the pale color on his face was slightly slower than yesterday, and he was replaced by a plain Wang with a smile, and when he saw Xuan Yuan blocking the entrance, he said playfully, "Old man, I brought you some good tea!"
As soon as the words came out, Xuan Yuan seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, quietly gave way, and made a gesture of inviting in.
Seeing this, the king lifted his feet lightly and walked in slowly, and the heavy door of the mansion behind him closed again, and the surprise in Xuan Yuan's heart disappeared the moment the king entered. He smiled weakly, and said softly, "Wang, why is there such a Yaxing and a late night visit?"
Wang turned his head slightly, glanced at the unusually spacious courtyard, avoided answering, and sighed, "I haven't been here for hundreds of years, but this courtyard is still the same as I remember, as if it hasn't changed at all." ”
Xuan Yuan nodded lightly, "Time passes, people and things will inevitably change, maybe I am more pedantic, for hundreds of years, I have insisted on reducing the momentum of change as much as possible." For this, I also scolded them. ”
Wang took two steps forward, as if he had entered his own home, took a chair and sat down, "I have brought good tea, I heard that the old man, you are not good at the cup now, but you like to drink tea." How about making a cup and tasting my tea!"
Xuan Yuan heard this: "That's good." As he spoke, he took the tea set, and after politely pouring a cup of tea for each of them, he looked at the king with an expression that was so calm that he couldn't see it at a glance, waiting for the other party to speak.
When the king saw that gaze, he only glanced at it, and he knew Xuanyuan's thoughts. So, Wang Qingyan took a sip of tea and said, "I still remember when I was a child, that is, in this courtyard, you would often scold me." ”
Xuan Yuan smiled, his eyes moved slightly, and landed on the bluestone floor that had gone through vicissitudes at his feet, and in his sight, it seemed that hundreds of years ago, the scene of Wang training here immediately reappeared, causing a trance for a while. "Although I am old, I still remember, at that time, it should have been said that you always think about taking shortcuts, and you are not willing to take one step at a time, I am afraid that your outstanding talent will harm you instead. ”
"In the midst of things and people, there are still some memories that can be preserved. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, and we, this city, have come to this point. Old man, are you ready to face it?" Wang Yan Feng turned, and there was a chill in his flat words that no one dared to approach easily.
That feeling was transmitted to Xuan Yuan's skin, and only one thought instantly arose in his mind. 'The king has been in contact with the Nine Heavens Palace for a long time, as if the cold breath has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. ’
Xuan Yuan picked up the teacup and shook his head, "Preparation can never be perfected, and the only thing I can do now is to minimize all the damage." ”
A sincere smile appeared on Wang's face, "Hundreds of years have passed, and your temperament has not changed at all, and you are still so kind-hearted." In this way, it seems that I am too cruel. ”
"Yes or no, we can only wait for future generations to evaluate, history is always written by the victors. Xuan Yuan said.
While Wang put down the teacup, the cold light in his eyes was fleeting, "How is the progress of the five elders?"
Finally getting to the point, Xuan Yuan looked at the man in front of him who he had single-handedly educated for decades, and a sense of strangeness invaded in bursts. Xuan Yuan leaned back in his chair and replied, "Everything is going according to plan, and it will be completed at this time the day after tomorrow." ”
"That's fine. The king nodded. "Old man, though I don't know if you can understand what I'm doing. ”
Before the words were finished, Xuan Yuan seemed to grab the words with a little anger in his tone, "Can't!"
Wang smiled helplessly, and there was more sourness in his tone that no one could understand. "Well, that's what I expected, but that's okay. Some things have to be done after all, and perhaps at this moment, as far as you are concerned, my behavior, to explain, is nothing more than a synonym for young people's competitiveness, ambition and the like. However, this land, this continent, will one day need to be transformed. The invisible rule of the Protoss, enslavement, will sooner or later be resisted. ”
Wang paused as he spoke, "Nobody likes death, no one likes war, but that doesn't mean they won't happen. If I choose to retreat and give up this opportunity in vain, it will still inevitably happen in a few thousand years. In that way, it is just to delay the pain that many people do not want to face now, as if to avoid it, until we can not see the future. ”
Xuan Yuan's eyes were empty, and the words involuntarily slipped out of his mouth. "At this moment, you are the king of the immortal city, and I am only the lord of this Xuanwu Mansion, and our status is determined, we must swear to follow your steps, so there is no need for such an explanation. ”
When Wang looked at Xuan Yuan, there was a sudden increase in pain. "What I need is not for you to be forced to follow, but for a voluntary and willing to do everything in my power to help me accomplish my plan. ”
Xuan Yuan did not respond to this.
Wang couldn't wait for a long time, and then let out a long sigh. "Well, what I'm doing is giving everyone back their freedom, and if I force you at this time, it won't be against my original intention. ”
Wang got up and stood up as he spoke, "Old man, there are two things that need to trouble you, one is that tomorrow, the Vermilion Bird Mansion may suffer a disaster of annihilation, and I need you to seize the opportunity to avoid that from happening." ”
After the king finished speaking, he did not immediately say the second thing, as if it was a little difficult for him to say such words.
For a long time, under Xuanyuan's gaze, Wang Qiang held back the reluctance in his heart and spoke again, "The day after tomorrow, that is, the night, at the time of the hour, Xuanwu Mansion has an hour of kung fu to transfer as many residents in this city as possible, and the time will come...... Stop it now!"
"What?" Xuan Yuan heard this, and there was no way to keep his composure, only to see that his face showed supreme consternation, and he stood up suddenly, and asked in disbelief, "An hour!"
The king nodded, and the look of pain on his face that he tried to hide could be clearly seen even in the darkness of the night.
"An hour!"
"After all, there are people who need to face it with the city!"
In the boudoir, the soft and boneless hands gently stroked the magic qin, but no matter what, they couldn't feel the resonance between Zhu Ying and the magic qin before, An Xin couldn't forget this for a long time.
"If you can do it yourself, you don't have to go to great lengths to lure Zhu Ying into the game. An Xin muttered to herself, letting out a long sigh, with regret in her eyes.
The head was full of such sorrow, and for a long time, An Xin suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, I was born in an ordinary family, and my family had no ability to cultivate me when I was a child." Although along the way, with Yicheng's talent and ninety percent of his diligence, he has reached the level where he now controls the entire Qinglong Mansion behind the scenes, and even Longshan is full of praise for himself. But in the end, there are still regrets that can be spoken. Probably no one can have the best of both worlds!"
An Xin plucked the strings lightly, a peerless magic piano, in her hands, but it could only make a sound like an ordinary xylophone, which could not but be said to be quite regrettable.
An Xin sat down, half-lying in the wooden chair, and looked around at this luxurious room that she had never dared to think of, "To this day, I can be said to have everything, but why?
This feeling has existed in her heart since she married into the Qinglong Mansion where all her neighbors applauded and envied.
An Xin frowned slightly, raised her hand and pinched her forehead, recalling the scene at that time.
"Back then, Longshan probably knew that there would be such a day in the Immortal City, or maybe he found out that he only knew about it a few days ago, but no matter what, he has been indifferent to the world, idle clouds and wild cranes, as if he didn't care about anything, Longshan, suddenly followed the rumors in the city, and took the initiative to find my ordinary home.
I still remember the flattered expressions on my parents' faces when they recognized that the person standing in front of them was actually the famous Qinglong Mansion Lord.
At that time, according to the rules of the city, in fact, as early as two years ago, I should have found a well-connected ordinary family and married a wife, however, what even my parents didn't know was that I seized every opportunity since I was a child and studied hard in the city where I could access the book of sages in my own capacity, so if I insisted, it was more than 20 years, for the day when any of the Qinglong, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird came to propose marriage.
Therefore, when Yongsan crossed the threshold of my family, and my parents were still wondering who was coming, I already knew that I had waited for so long, put in so much effort, and had dreamed for so many years, and finally ushered in the day when it came true.
Of course, I've been waiting for the opportunity to come for so long, and I mean it's impossible to miss anything. As a result, in order to be able to marry into the Qinglong Mansion, he married the only son of the Qinglong Mansion who he had secretly seen many times, Long Tian.
I chose to forbear, tried my best to restrain the excitement and excitement in my heart, and showed that I didn't know everything, and calmly coped with the cunning test of Longshan's old treacherous treacherous.
Come to think of it, I really should have laughed that day. Since I began to be sensible, I have tried my best to make a good impression in the city, and I have done everything decently, contrary to playfulness, and any other nature, and have successfully become a knowledgeable and strange woman in that small part of the world, which is praised by everyone. After so many years of pretending, I sometimes even feel like I'm a different person.
But it doesn't matter, the moment I saw Yongsan, I knew that all the management and all the efforts were worth it.
Because with his own investigation of the Qinglong Mansion, Longshan's test was a piece of cake at all!
Things went as I expected, and even though Long Shan deliberately controlled his emotions and didn't let them be exposed, I could still see his satisfaction from his appearance.
Sure enough, in those days, Long Shan would often pretend to meet me in the streets and alleys casually, probably because he wanted to see if I was as people said I was.
Of course, I, who have long learned to manage my life, so that no one can find out what is wrong, will be planted in my daily life.
But then again, when Long Shan came again, the expression on his face and the chill between his words revealed his suspicions.
At that moment, I instantly realized a very important problem: no one is perfect, and I was so eager to achieve results that I only wanted to be perfect everywhere, but in the process, I forgot a little. After all, life is different from acting, if a person's life is perfect, so that others can't find fault. It will only make him suspicious.
Doubting the people you are looking at and observing is too scheming, and all the perfection is just for acting for yourself. At that meeting, Longshan's psychology was like this.
Fortunately, it's not too late, my acting skills have reached perfection, and after realizing my mistake, I can be said to be just right.
Soon, Long Shan made a decision and brought Long Tian over for the first time.
Until then, I was aware of Long Tian's opposition, but it didn't matter, all I was waiting for was that chance to meet.
A woman's beauty, for a man, is always a weapon that will never make a mistake, not to mention, the enemy is the dragon sky that can be said to be wooden to a certain extent!
The success of the first step is a matter of course, and the place where they met, after Long Tian saw him, the bright smile on his face showed that he married into the Qinglong Mansion was already a fact that could not be changed.
Although I have no feelings for Long Tian, in order to be able to go farther and higher, I still married, and because I live under the nose of Longshan, I have to work harder and harder all the time to manage my life and build myself into a good daughter-in-law.
In fact, not long after marrying into the Qinglong Mansion, I already felt a trace of loss in my heart, but at that time, I only thought it was because I had no feelings for Long Tian.
And as the days passed, the feeling of loss not only did not subside, but piled up little by little, and I gradually realized that what I was losing had not been able to fully figure out was the true situation of Qinglong Mansion. What I didn't know was that this would be the end of my climb!
It's like you train hard day and night to accomplish something, and then, when the day finally comes, you find that you can step on one step, and there is nothing else behind.
Knowing that there will be no room for progress in his life, that kind of situation has led to the loss in my heart.
Later, he inexplicably accepted his fate, was willing to be realistic, and accepted the identity of Long Tian's daughter-in-law. It turns out that unconsciously, changes will swallow people little by little. ”
In the huge room, An Xin sat alone in the wooden chair, recalling that at this time, she suddenly figured out something. I saw her smile, helpless tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Longshan, Longshan, after all, the two of us are still using each other, and in the end, you are still a step ahead!"
"Back then, you had already seen my inner life hidden under the perfect outside, but you chose to act with me all the time, and in fact, what you fancy is my ability, and you want to turn me into the use of the Qinglong Mansion!"
"Hehe, you did succeed, and the life in the house day after day finally gradually extinguished my ambition and forced me to accept such a life without even knowing it. Finally, in order to confirm that my heart was completely sealed by you with that kind of soft means, you still lived patiently in this Qinglong Mansion for another five or six years, just in case. ”
"Finally, you feel that the time has come when you can safely leave and live the life you want. But I'm stuck here forever!"
"Hahahaha!" An Xin laughed almost maniacally, tears flowing down her white and flawless cheeks one by one.
Yongshan, you are really ruthless!!
However, maybe even you didn't think that one day I would be able to sort these things out!
Now, you are gone, and this Qinglong Mansion is at my disposal.
Wandering in the world, I want you to know that the scheming you thought about back then was just the tip of the iceberg!
An Xin stopped her tears, and her heartfelt smile covered her previous sadness.
It's just that she finally saw the point of light in the distance symbolizing the next target again, beckoning to her!!
