Chapter 134: Tsing Yi Falls into a Dream
The person who came was Chu Miao.
Chu Miao sat by the window, the hot tea in front of her was foggy in the winter, she sat dignifiedly, her top and skirt were snow-white, and the waist and waist were embroidered with gold and color, luxurious and beautiful.
Chu Miao looked up and also saw Chu Yingchan, she showed a surprised look, as if she didn't expect to see her daughter here.
"Yingchan, why are you here? What a coincidence......"
"Don't pretend." Chu Yingchan ruthlessly debunked: "There is no such coincidence in the world, are you still a little girl who is at your mercy?" β
Mother......
Lin Shouxi listened to this title and looked at this fairy with an eternal face, and he didn't expect to meet this Queen of Chu here.
Three hundred years have not left a trace on her beautiful face, different from the grace and arrogance of her mother in front of the world, she is gentle and merciful in front of her daughter, and her eyes are as quiet as a pool of water.
What should this be called? Master's mother, is it Master's mother......
Lin Shouxi's knowledge briefly fell into a bottleneck.
Chu Yingchan sat down in front of her, Lin Shouxi also sat on the side, Chu Miao glanced at Lin Shouxi absently, her eyes slightly scrutinizing.
Chu Miao beckoned, and the two cups of tea that had been prepared were brought up and placed in front of them safely.
"Is this Yingchan's new apprentice?" Chu Miao asked.
"Hmm."
"I heard that he became famous in Shengyun Pavilion, which made Lu Yushen very unhappy, huh...... Is it called Lin Shouxi? β
"Hmm."
"It's so good-looking, and it deserves to be the person my daughter likes."
"Huh?"
Chu Yingchan and Lin Shouxi looked at her at the same time.
Chu Miao knew that she was speechless, covered her lips with her fingers, smiled a little apologetically, and thought in her heart: What are you pretending to be, Shenshan is now rumored everywhere that you are an unmarried couple, and even your mother knows about it.
She rushed to the east of the city wall today to see what kind of sacredness the young man who could be looked down upon by her daughter.
Lin Shouxi was dressed in black clothes, thin and simple, and the beauty of his appearance far exceeded Chu Miao's expectations, Chu Miao had lived for more than three hundred years and had seen countless immortal sons, but it was the first time he had seen him like this.
No wonder her daughter rejected so many marriage letters...... Chu Miao understood her at once.
The fact that Chu Yingchan is Lin Shouxi's fiancΓ©e spread because Shuang Sisi misunderstood the meaning of Lin Shouxi's words, and the rest of the disciples had already discussed it, so they were almost written into the Shenshan Mandarin Duck Spectrum, but the parties had no idea.
"I mean, he deserves to be my daughter's favorite apprentice." Chu Miao took care of her daughter's shyness.
Chu Yingchan always felt that her mother's eyes were very strange today, and she didn't ask much, covering the falling sideburns with one hand, and grabbing the teacup like a flower with the other hand and putting it to her lips and taking a sip.
The tea is fragrant, bitter and astringent at first, and has a sweet aftertaste, Chu Yingchan tasted this is a good tea specially provided by the Chu King's Palace in one bite, not owned by this store, she frowned slightly, and couldn't help but slander her mother's painting snake.
If it was usual, Chu Yingchan would definitely say a few words to her mother coldly, and then find a reason to leave alone, so that she didn't want to follow, but now that the newly recruited apprentice was next to her, she restrained her willfulness with her mother on weekdays, and sat obediently and drank tea.
This move has a unique charm in Chu Miao's eyes: to establish a virtuous image in front of her future husband.
She was even more curious about who this Lin Shouxi was, who could let the cold fairy daughter do this...... Even, Chu Miao felt a little jealous.
With preconceived ideas, Chu Miao felt that something was wrong when she saw their every move, the strangeness between them became a disguise, the restraint became a shame, and the taciturn became tacit.
Chu Miao and her daughter talked about it for a while, and asked about the new sect, and she answered them one by one.
"Mother, it's good if you have something to say, you don't have to beat around the bush like this." Chu Yingchan said.
"It's nothing, just to see my daughter."
Chu Miao was in a good mood when she saw that her marriage had been settled, and the corners of her mouth were always smiling.
Chu Yingchan was really uncomfortable and wanted to get up and leave, but Lin Shouxi spoke, he was humble and polite:
"Disciple Lin Shouxi has seen Empress Chu."
Chu Miao nodded, she was extremely satisfied with this young man's face and bones, and she even imagined the situation in the future when he and Yingchan went in and out of each other, calling her mother-in-law.
"Hmm."
"The disciple wants to ask Empress Chu for something." Lin Shouxi got straight to the point.
Before you even passed the door, did you think about sending your mother-in-law...... Chu Miao didn't rush to agree, but said: "You are Yingchan's apprentice, if it is within my ability, I will help." β
Chu Yingchan also remembered what she said earlier, she didn't expect that as soon as she promised to ask her mother for help, her mother took the initiative to send her to the door.
"I know a little girl, her home is near the Sacred Guard, and her mother should be related to the Sacred Guardian Mountain, I don't know ......"
"Oh, the Evil Slayer." Chu Miao immediately said: "There are many disciples of the Chu family in the Divine Shoushan Evil Slaying Division, and I also have an old relationship with the current helmsman of the Evil Slaying Division, if you want to find someone, you can be regarded as finding the right person, how old is your friend, and what is his name." β
Chu Miao is very enthusiastic, and she also wants to make a good impression on her future son-in-law.
"Her name is Xiaoyu, and she should be seven years old this year." Lin Shouxi said.
β¦β¦
"Little ...... Language? β
Chu Miao showed a look of surprise, she stared at Lin Shouxi and asked, "When did you meet?" β
"This year."
Lin Shouxi saw Chu Miao's face with a strange expression, thinking that she knew something, and his heart tightened.
"This year, ......"
Chu Miao thought for a while about the family she knew, there were several seven-year-old girls, but they were called Xiaoyu...... She wasn't impressed.
"How did you know a seven-year-old girl?"
Chu Miao showed a look of vigilance, she had inquired about Lin Shouxi's age when she came, sixteen years old...... Sixteen minus seven years is nine, but fortunately, this should not be an illegitimate daughter, so what is she? A long-lost sister?
"Anyway...... Met by chance. "Lin Shouxi is difficult to explain.
"Where's her last name?"
"I don't know."
"Do you know anything other than your name and age? For example, her family background, her appearance, or...... and your relationship. Chu Miao continued to ask.
"She's my apprentice." Lin Shouxi did not hide it.
"In vain?"
Chu Miao and Chu Yingchan both showed surprise, not knowing when he was the little apprentice who was deceived.
"Do my daughters have any grandchildren?"
It turned out to be a relative...... Chu Miao listened to Lin Shouxi more seriously.
"She's dressed like Bai Zhu, huh...... She also has a sword tower in her house, and by the way, I have also met her mother. Lin Shouxi tried hard to recall.
"What does her mother look like?"
It's not surprising that many large families have a dedicated building for swords, but if you know what your parents look like, it shouldn't be difficult to find.
"Her mother's ......"
In the Dragon Palace, when Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing worked together to repair the river Tuluo book was in difficulty, Xiaoyu's mother made a voice through the ancient sword and dragged them out of the abyss of Heluo.
He had seen the woman more than once before.
A woman who can give birth to a cute girl like Xiaoyu is also a peerless immortal, but when Lin Shouxi wanted to describe her appearance, his thinking suddenly became confused.
It was as if a transparent hand had climbed out of his internal organs, and his fingertips pierced into his brain like a knife into tofu, erasing something lightly, and when he came back to his senses, all he had of was the green dress that was like a soul and a bottomless eye that was pale glass.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Miaoyu's finger stretched out, pointed at his eyebrows, a cold breath penetrated his body, Lin Shouxi's back straightened, and when he looked at Chu Miao again, he woke up like a big dream, and his vest broke out in a cold sweat.
"I ...... Can't remember. Lin Shouxi said.
Chu Miao also felt a little wrong, she knew that this young man was hiding a secret that she couldn't reveal for the time being, so she didn't ask any more.
"It's just that if you have these clues, I'm afraid it won't be too easy to find." Chu Miao said.
"My mother always boasts that her hands and eyes are all over the sky, why is she cowardly when it comes to the end?" Chu Yingchan asked.
"I ......" Chu Miao couldn't let her daughter look down on her no matter what, "Don't worry, as long as she is from the vicinity of the sacred mountain, even if she digs three feet into the ground, I will help you find out." β
"There's Queen Lao." Lin Shouxi rubbed his temples, and his heart palpitated.
Chu Yingchan was also very curious about this 'little language', and she didn't know who she was, so she could make Lin Shouxi so attentive.
After that, they chatted for a while, Chu Miao sipped the tea, and muttered a 'small language' from time to time, she seemed to be more interested in this little girl than Lin Shouxi.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yingchan asked.
"Nothing, just remembering a playmate from my childhood." Chu Miao said.
In this world, it seems that only she knows the name of Gong Yu.
When mentioning Xiaoyu, the first thing she thought of was of course the past three hundred years ago, when Xiaoyu was about seven years old, skipping class and playing all day, so angry that the old gentleman ran to complain to the palace master all day long, and the palace owner spoiled his daughter, and every time it was only a symbolic punishment, at that time, Xiaoyu ran around the family all day long wearing a cloak painted with a crocodile, and he was a little devil in the world.
The memories of my childhood are still in front of me, and the grievances of that time now seem to be just petty fights, but after many years, it is more unforgettable than the bloody night when I returned to China.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred years have passed.
Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu also seems to have a hard time finding the master...... Three hundred years ago, Xiao Yu tried to find her master but couldn't, and three hundred years later, her apprentice grandson searched for an apprentice named Xiao Yu but couldn't...... Is there really such a coincidence?
"Mother, don't you have the ability to find it, so let's save face here." Chu Yingchan smiled and spoke, interrupting Chu Miao's thoughts.
Chu Miao raised her eyebrows, knowing that this was her daughter's method of provoking her mother, but she still couldn't help but be annoyed, thinking that before you crossed the door with him, your elbow turned outside? That's not true!
"Don't worry, if I can't find this whisper, I'll compensate you for it." Chu Miao said.
"Pay one?" Chu Yingchan didn't understand.
"Uh-huh, you'll know then."
Chu Miao sold a pass, but it was just a small language in her mouth, and I am afraid that it could no longer be called a 'small language'. Chu Miao planned to tell her about this next time she saw Gong Yu.
β¦β¦
It was late at night.
Chu Miao invited them to drink tea and eat, and after the tea, she told her daughter a lot of things, Chu Yingchan was tired of listening to these clichΓ©s, and only symbolically perfunctory.
Lin Shouxi was much more polite, he listened carefully to Chu Miao's words, nodded his head from time to time, and made this Queen of Chu very happy, eager to write a marriage letter immediately with a stroke of the pen.
"Mother, it's not too early, there are no extra rooms here, you ......" Chu Yingchan stopped when she wanted to speak.
"Does your daughter want her mother to share a room with you? Yes, since you were seven years old, your mother hasn't slept with you in her arms. Chu Miao pretended to be ignorant.
Chu Yingchan bit her lip and glanced at Lin Shouxi, and she didn't know whether she should show her little temperament.
"Okay, okay, my mother won't bother you." Chu Miao smiled knowingly, and didn't pretend to be confused.
Thanks to Lin Shouxi's light, she was satisfied with her daughter for so long today, and she casually exchanged a few words of greeting and waved goodbye to them.
"The queen is a very good person, no wonder she can give birth to a daughter like you." Lin Shouxi said sincerely.
"Hmm."
Chu Yingchan nodded, and it was a compliment to her.
Let's go upstairs together.
Their rooms were next to each other, separated only by a wooden wall that was not thick, and when they arrived at their rooms, they counted their belongings, bathed and changed their clothes, and prepared for the next morning's departure from the city.
From here to the Demon Tower, there is a precipitous place where evil is inhabited, and that land is even known as the Devil's Rotten Land, a cursed place far and wide, and even birds do not want to fly over it.
It is a forbidden place for humans, but it is a paradise for monsters.
After bathing and changing clothes, Chu Yingchan put on a brand-new white dress, and Lin Shouxi also put on a brand-new black dress, and they covered the window together, lying on a slightly simple wooden bed, with their backs against the wall.
There are three paintings on the walls, which are the blessing of the gods, the forgiveness of sins, and the relief of misfortunes, the gods in the paintings are like elephants, their bodies are as huge as mountains, and the backs of the gods are full of golden spears and halberds, which are the marks of battle, and they look down on the world, and their faces peeking out of the thunderclouds are like lion's faces.
In two different rooms, their movements were surprisingly consistent, and without the wooden wall they would have been back to back by now.
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and gradually, the stars were no longer visible.
Lin Shouxi lay down for a while, and sleepiness suddenly hit, so he leaned against the wall and fell asleep deeply.
Lin Shouxi dreamed again.
This time, instead of dreaming of snowfields and palaces, he dreamed of whispering.
Xiaoyu in the dream sat in a wooden pavilion, hanging eyelashes, immature and well-behaved, there were thick books stacked in the wooden pavilion, she held the book, read it seriously and quickly, and pressed a booklet, carried an ink pen, and made notes attentively.
Lin Shouxi watched this scene quietly, feeling indescribable tranquility and warmth, he held his breath and didn't dare to make a sound, and let time pass quietly.
He realized it was a dream, but he didn't want to wake it up.
I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly, Lin Shouxi's expression froze.
He caught a glimpse of a 'superfluous thing'.
He saw a cyan shadow appear behind Xiao Yu, it was a blue skirt fluttering in the air, the material of the green skirt was clear and distinct, but almost illusory, the white, translucent body floated out of the green skirt, and the green silk flowed...... Her appearance was like a flower blooming in the void, layer upon layer, silent, without a single weight.
Phantom.
She was like a ghost who suddenly appeared in this wooden pavilion.
She floated behind Xiao Yu, watching her silently.
Lin Shouxi thought that this was a dream day and night, and he didn't take it too seriously.
At a certain moment, the floating ghost in the green skirt opened its arms, as if it wanted to give Xiao Yu a hug, Xiao Yu seemed to notice something, turned around, and in an instant, the green skirt collapsed into the void, and there was no trace of it, as if it had never existed.
Next, this scene is repeated in many different scenes, in which Xiaoyu is almost alone, and her mother turns into a ghost and floats behind her, quietly guarding her growth.
This...... Is this a dream or reality?
Lin Shouxi was a little unclear.
He stared at the ghost in the green skirt, as if he wanted to see some secret, and just as Lin Shouxi was engrossed, the ghost in the green skirt turned around and smiled hazy at him.
"What do you see?" The woman in the green skirt asked softly.
Lin Shouxi couldn't answer.
In the dream, he was like a ghost like a cloud, and the woman's delicate gaze became a violent wind, tearing him clean in an instant, turning into a collapsed whirlpool, and annihilating in an instant.
Xiao Yu sat in the wooden pavilion and stopped writing, she looked at the empty darkness behind her, as if she was looking for something, and suddenly shed tears.
"Mother...... Master...... Is that you? β
The girl asked softly into the silent night, but could never wait for an answer.
Lin Shouxi woke up from his dream.
It's dawn.
Light poured out of the window and illuminated the end of his couch.
Lin Shouxi got up from the couch, he touched his unscathed body, recalling his previous dream, and his heart palpitated. He felt that in the vast world and world, there were also a pair of invisible eyes peeking behind him.
He took a deep breath and turned around, but he was stunned...... His instincts didn't deceive him, and there was really someone watching him at the bedside.
It is Chu Yingchan in a white dress.
"Why are you here?" Lin Shouxi was dissatisfied with her trespassing in the room.
"I'm worried about you." Chu Yingchan said.
"Worried about me? What can I do? Lin Shouxi asked.
"It's almost noon now, and when I see that you still don't wake up, I'll come and see." Chu Yingchan explained.
"Is it noon......"
Lin Shouxi was stunned, he exhaled, and his mind was in a trance, "I just ...... I had a very strange dream. β
"Could it be that you're too tired?" Chu Yingchan reached out and touched her forehead and said.
"Maybe." Lin Shouxi shook his head and said, "Anyway...... Some are distracted. β
Chu Yingchan didn't know what to comfort, and finally just whispered, "There is a master." β
Lin Shouxi's heartstrings moved slightly, but he was silent, he left the couch and cloaked his clothes, looked at the closed window, and said, "It's time to go." β
Today is the day of departure from the city.
