The sun rises in the east and finally falls into the west pole, and today's glory is yesterday's yellow flower.

Just like the end of darkness, the dawn always comes as scheduled.

After the end of the day, the sun was half-concealed and showed a hint of redness, but the fog that surrounded the sky over Tiantai Mountain did not dissipate, because of the drizzle yesterday, Guangqi City looked from a distance to give people an illusion, like a white city - on the houses, on the city wall, There was a thin layer of frost on the branches of the trees, although the weather was not only cold and very damp, but it could not stop those early city residents, on the first day of the new year, they got up early, put on the most decent clothes in the past, some went to visit relatives and friends, and some were still whispering something in front of the God of Wealth.

Compared with the past, many residents of Guangqi City are a little unaccustomed, although the festival is still the festival of the past, but after reciting the blessing of the Buddha for half a lifetime, it is replaced by the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, some of them are reluctant to speak, and there is some indescribable taste after all.

There's a sentimentality of impermanence in this taste.

On the street, the carefree children don't care so much, in their eyes, although the sky is obscured by fog, but the sky is there, and the sky will not collapse because the once Buddhist holy land has become a place for Taoists to preach, there are new clothes to wear, there is no need to go to a private school to study, this is a happy thing in their eyes, so you call me and I call you, and the children run around the city together, laughing and chasing with sugar gourds or rice cakes in their hands.

"The New Year is coming, the New Year is coming, look at the gongs and drums are really lively, wearing new clothes, wearing new hats, and saying hello to the adults...... I put on a flower dress for the mud doll, the mud doll smiled, and reached out to ask me to hug it, oops, don't hug it, we are a year older, do you know it...... The New Year is coming, the New Year is coming, the lion dance, stepping on stilts, the temple fair is so lively......"

The innocent children happily shouted the nursery rhyme of the New Year's arrival, and finally they didn't know who found out what first, and called the child who took the lead in singing the nursery rhyme to him, first covered his mouth, and then hit the child's buttocks, and the child didn't know where he was wrong because he cried bitterly.

The other children watched in amazement.

It wasn't until a pair of children from the opposite side began to sing 'New Year's arrival, New Year's arrival, lighting lanterns, welcoming Tianzun, Sanqing Taoist Temple is so lively......' that the leading child wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes as if he didn't understand.

Didn't you just sing the wrong words? But last year...... It's been a long time.

In addition to the children's small fights, there are occasionally people on the street whispering about the roar of the beast that disturbed their sleep last night, saying that it is talking, but in fact it is just a sentence: "I dreamed of the sound of an animal in my sleep last night, and I don't know if it is auspicious." ”

The speaker is cautious, and the listener is frightened, but he still has to smile and say that it is probably a hallucination. Then they all nodded yes, and the uneasiness in their eyes flashed.

Sometimes, isn't self-deception a kind of enlightenment?

Since Zhang Chengcheng's death in Guangqi City, these citygoers have been very careful in their words, they are afraid, afraid that they will not know when they will become prisoners if they are not blessed by the Buddha.

Especially the Qilin Army that appeared in the city in the morning, although the Qilin Army did not search on this day, but from their cold eyes, these ordinary and great city citizens vaguely felt that something had happened.

Compared with the bustle of people coming and going on the street, the Guangming Mansion was a little deserted in the past, and although those servants were busy cleaning the courtyard, they were a little less happy, and the reason why they were like this was not only that the money in the palace this year was much less, but that the face of the governor was ...... Gloomy and terrible.

Lu Tianyu hadn't shown a happy smile for many days? The servant who liked to observe his face still remembered the blue and white porcelain bowl that Lu Tianyu broke on the day Zhang Qingcheng died.

"It's better to be broken than broken. At that time, Lu Tianyu said this, but I don't know what the reason is, Lu Tianyu didn't do anything to break the jade.

In a side courtyard to which Guangming Mansion belongs, people who often come and go in Guangming Mansion know that it is the residence of Lu Tianyu's staff Luo Wu, in the past, only Luo Wuyi's residence was slightly lively because of the arrival of Liu Yi and others, but the atmosphere in the courtyard today is a bit unpredictable.

Luo Wu's residence is not big, the courtyard is only twenty zhang in circumference, there is a rockery pool in the garden, and a corridor connects the south, east, northwest and four square houses.

There was a person standing quietly at the gate of Luo Wu's residence, it was Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi's smile kept advising those who came to visit Luo Wu, just persuaded the new group of people to leave, Xiao Qi closed the door, his eyes did not stop at those gifts that were not shabby, but looked at the hall of Luo's mansion.

Inside the hall.

Luo Mansion is facing the gate of the first place on the top of a plaque with the words "self-cultivation Qi family" written on it, these four words are Luo Wu's leisure work, not like the plaque font of the Yan country's powerful house is regular script, Luo Wu's word is a sword and chose cursive, like a dragon in one go, I don't know what I want to express.

"Self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world. Ye Xiaoshui looked at the plaque and remembered what a man once said in front of her, but it was just ...... Where is the man who once pointed out the mountains and rivers now?

Now Ye Qianshui has changed into clean clothes, but the veil on his head has not been removed, after putting aside the past in his heart for the time being, Ye Wanshui turned to look at the people in front of him, and then gave a salute, his voice was not heavy but said with complicated emotions, "The little woman is here to thank you." ”

"The master's mother is serious. Qiao Er stepped forward and clenched his fists and said.

"You've been following him to the death for so many years, if he were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said thank you so simply...... It's just that I can't drink, otherwise I'll have to have two drinks with everyone. ”

The crowd was silent.

His gaze slid over Qiao Er and Liu Yi's faces, and Ye Xiaoshui paused on Lu Yu's body for a few seconds, "Yu'er, come here." ”

Lu Yu nodded and came to Ye Qiaoshui to stand still.

"Get on your knees. Ye Xiaoshui said softly, and after speaking, he glanced at Qiao Er, Liu Yi and the others, "Kowtow three heads to these uncles and uncles of yours." ”

The crowd continued to be silent.

Lu Yu didn't say anything, after kneeling down according to the words, he kowtowed three times, and after standing up, his forehead was already red.

"Those who died......" Looking at the members of the Dark Fragrance Squad with solemn faces, Ye Qiaoshui said, "Their names will definitely be engraved on the heroic monument of Yanguo Lihuo City one day." ”

After Ye Xiaoshui finished speaking, he added a heavy sentence at the end, "I believe." ”

On this day, Ye Qiaoshui led the members of the Dark Fragrance Team to do one thing, that is, to pay tribute to the souls of the dead.

The dead can be remembered by the living, and even if they don't look at the dead, they will smile at Jiuquan, right?

Do you remember certain people after you were hurt?

No one knew that Ye Qiaoshui, who returned to the study, wrote a sentence today: Persistence, perseverance until I see him, and then smile and love deeply.

Smile, then love.

If a woman is obsessed, it is a terrible thing.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.

――――

――――

Mon Province.

Because this New Year is of great significance to Qi Fu, Qi Fu got up early and gathered a table of food, and then went to the ancestral hall to gossip to the ancestors of the Meng family for a while, and when he returned to the dining hall, he saw that only Qi Luoge and Qian Duoduo were sitting here, so he was stunned and said What about Su Qin?

"I don't know. Looking at the delicious meal, Qian Duoduo, who had been holding chopsticks in his hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said angrily.

"I'll call him. Qi Luoge got up and looked at Qi Fu and said.

"I'll go too. Qian Duoduo reluctantly put the chopsticks in his hand back on the table, and then said to Qi Fu Qi Bo, you sit down and rest, and after speaking, he followed Qi Luoge to Su Qin's residence.

Su Qin's residence was not far from the dining hall, Qi Luoge and Qian Duoduo laughed and soon came to Su Qin's residence.

"Su Qin!" Qian Duoduo shouted with a sharp breath, trying to wake Su Qin up from his sleep.

No one answered.

Qi Luoge frowned, and then whispered What happened to Su Qin today?

"Are you going out?" Qian Duoduo said, shaking his head.

Looking at the silent courtyard, Qi Luoge shook his head and didn't say anything.

"That's weird. Looking at the silent residence, Qian Duoduo raised his voice and shouted Su Qin's name again.

"Su Qin must not be in the house...... Not to mention that your voice is enough to wake him up...... Have you ever seen Su Qin not get up so late?" Qi Luoge looked at Qian Duoduo on the side and said with a frown.

"Maybe I overslept......" Qian Duoduo said in a defensive manner, and subconsciously pushed the door after speaking, not wanting the wooden door to open at the touch of a button.

Su Qin's bedroom was empty, and the futon was neatly folded on the bed.

"What about people?" Qian Duoduo said subconsciously.

Before Qi Luoge could speak, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, Qian Duoduo thought it was Su Qin, and when he went out, he saw that it was those few Xi barbarian clansmen who came with Bai Qi, so he asked What are you doing in such a hurry?

"Bai Qi is gone, let's ask Su Gongzi. ”

"Su Qin is also gone. Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes and said, "These two disappeared together...... It's not going to be something nasty, is it?"

"What nonsense. Qi Luoge said, "Let's wait, maybe the two of them will go to the street to watch the lantern festival." ”

And this wait is one day.

Su Qin and Bai Qi didn't show up until after dark, but two people appeared in the Meng Mansion at night, but they were two brothers, Wan Xiangqian and Wan Pengyuan.

"Someone broke into the Qilin Army at night and entered Tiantai Mountain. Wan Xiangqian told Qi Luoge about the news he had inquired about.

After listening to Wan Xiangqian's words, Qi Luoge nodded, and then came to the door and looked at Tiantai Mountain, suddenly a little ...... Uneasy.
