Chapter 36: Nine Days of Fengming

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the carbon-red fierce horses are climbing up in the depths of the mountains, and the birds and beasts are whispering from time to time:

"Goo~~Goo......"

On horseback, the Queen Mother was wrapped in a cloak, looking at the lights in the mountains and fields, and asked curiously:

"Are there any other people living in the mountains?"

Night Terror walked in front and took the reins, swept away the weeds and vines on the mountain road, and responded when he heard this:

"It is a person from Niangzi Village, one of the eighteen villages in Hongshan, the main business of ginseng herbs, when I was a child, I took a medicinal bath, and the medicinal materials were bought from here......"

"Really......"

The two set off from Shazhou City in the afternoon, relying on the extraordinary speed of BMW, and rushed to the west side of Hongshan in the middle of the night.

Night Terror Hall is very familiar with the terrain of Hongshan, from the west slope of Niangzi Peak up the mountain, walked for half an hour, then climbed to the top of the deserted mountain, before reaching the top, I saw a ginkgo tree on the mountain.

Although the ginkgo tree is not as big as the one in the imperial city, it seems to have gone through two or three hundred years, the branches and leaves are still dense, there is obviously a small tomb under the tree, the surrounding area is cleaned very clean, and there is even a small temple next to it.

The Queen Mother thought that she would be looking for a long time, but she was quite surprised to see this:

"Is there anyone else looking after here?"

Night Terror Hall stopped, turned around and held the hand warmer's waist, and hugged her down:

"Niangzi Peak has existed since ancient times, according to legend, it is the time when the mountains and rivers changed dramatically in ancient times, a couple hid in the mountains to avoid the flood, the husband went down the mountain to see the situation, and the result was an accident, the lady was heartbroken, she kept crying on the mountain, crying until the end even the gods couldn't bear it, and exerted her magical powers, let it become the mountain god Niangniang, and the husband became the nearby Alang Peak."

"The predecessors who wrote books in the ancient tomb should have heard this legend and buried their wives here; Today's Niangzi Village, which only appeared after the founding of the country, is estimated to have accidentally discovered this tomb and regarded it as the legendary mountain god Niangniang......"

The Queen Mother listened to the story of the night terror, and soon came to the vicinity of the ginkgo tree.

Under the ginkgo tree is a flat land, and there is a small temple one person high on the hillside, in which is a clay statue of the mountain god, and there is incense in it.

The small tomb bag is under the ginkgo tree, and there is a stone tablet in front of it, which is engraved with the words 'Tomb of the Deceased Wife Lin Yun'.

The Empress Dowager is familiar with "The Secret History of Cleopatra" and knows that this is the name of the Empress Dowager Yan.

Although the ages are different, and she and Empress Dowager Yan are not related, but both of them are from the same southeast wang clan, live in the same palace in Yun'an, and even look at the thousand-year-old ginkgo outside the window in a daze......

Now that they are reunited here across time and space, the Queen Mother naturally feels a lot, and when she comes to the grave, her lips are pursed and she wants to speak, but she doesn't know what to say, and she mutters after thinking for a long time:

"Wu Taizu has become an immortal, and the hand-planted ginkgo trees naturally have spirits. The palace was sheltered by the old man, so he dug up the fire map, and because of this, he met the night terror......

"Sister Lin met a lover who dared to sneak into the deep palace under the ginkgo tree, and she must have been blessed by the ginkgo tree. Since Master Shu has pulled the red line, he will not let go, and you should have reunited with your lover under Jiuquan by now......

"If you don't reunite, and you're still waiting at Naihe Bridge, Sister Lin will give her dream to the palace, and the palace will go back to help you ask for an explanation, if Master Shu doesn't care, the palace will pour hot water on it......"

Night Terror Hall led the horse and stood behind, hearing these sincere words, he was quite emotional, but when the words came out, he almost didn't hold back.

Although these words were easy to anger the gods, Night Terror Hall still did not stop Huai Yan's muttering.

After all, the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree planted by Wu Taizu, if it was just a tree, it would be impossible to be retributed.

And if the thousand-year-old apricot tree is really spiritual, and it has drawn a red line for the Empress Dowager Yan, then obviously she will not care about Huai Yan's words of concern.

Night Terror Hall martial arts has come to this day, and the bottom of my heart is actually more inclined to animism.

But all things have spirits, and he will not be superstitious and blindly obedient, but continue to uphold the way in his heart and pay attention to one-if the heavens favor me, I will repay it; If the heavens bear me, you can also kill them.

This is not arrogant and conceited, there are also Taoist classics such as 'the sky wants to destroy me, I will destroy the sky, my life is in my absence', 'the medicine meets the qi to form an image, the Tao is in the void and nature, swallow a pill of elixir into the abdomen, and I know that my life is not up to the sky'.

If there are really gods and Buddhas outside the mountain, but they don't do anything, then as a person seeking the Tao, he should kill himself, otherwise how can he be worthy of the word 'Tao'?

Call~

Rustle rustle......

The Queen Mother said earnestly in front of the tombstone, and her words were wishes for the people in the book, but they were also expectations for her own future.

And as time continued, the night breeze blew on the top of the mountain, bringing the leaves and the queen mother's dress, soft and warm, as if the people in the tomb were really responding warmly.

Night Terror Hall stood in the night wind, looking at Huai Yan's back, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.

After waiting for a long time, the Queen Mother finished saying the words of the sacrifice, took the incense again, burned the paper money in front of the grave, and then turned around and returned to the night terror hall, sighing quietly:

"Alas......"

came to pay respects, and learned that some people in the book still remember and care, and the story of "The Secret History of Cleopatra" can be regarded as a complete end.

Although it was not as perfect as imagined, the Queen Mother was also a lot more relaxed at this time, held the hand of the Night Terror, and looked back:

"In the future, if the palace leaves, you have to come often to burn paper, if you don't come that year, I will come over in a dream to scare you......"

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, half-squatted down, hugged his legs and picked him up, let the petite and delicate Huaiyan sit on his shoulders, and walked along the ridge to the main peak:

"There are only dozens of springs and autumns in a lifetime, and instead of thinking about the afterlife, it is better to cherish every day now. It's still early, do you want to go to the snowy mountains to see it? ”

The Queen Mother's figure is very well proportioned, but her height is really not high, at this time, her plump and round buttocks are sitting on her broad shoulders, which is quite stable, but she is afraid of falling down for psychological reasons, so she still hugged the head of the night terror:

"There's still snow on the mountain now?"

"There is a snow top on the main peak of Hongshan, which does not melt all year round, but now in the past, it must be warmer than in winter."

"Really......"

The Queen Mother is in love with the night terrors on the snowy mountain, and naturally wants to revisit the old place, and she didn't say much at the moment, looking at the scenery on both sides of the ridge along the way, and hummed a little song:

"Uh-huh......"

In order to keep out the cold, the Night Terror Hall took a cloak and let the Queen Mother wear it, and then led the charcoal red horse to the main peak.

Although the main peak of Hongshan is very high, ordinary people can't climb it at all, but the endurance of the charcoal red horse is amazing, and there are night terrors to open the way, and the rugged mountain road for dozens of miles does not take too long.

As you go higher, the colder it gets on the mountain, and when you pass through the clouds and the snow line, the snow top that does not melt all year round appears in the bottom of your eyes, and the starry sky and silver moon above your head are within reach.

On weekdays, no one would come to such a high place, the Queen Mother sat on her shoulder, and she could even see the traces left by the winter, the grooves brought by the battle on the hillside, which had been buried by the avalanche, and the collapsed cliff wall could still be seen.

The Queen Mother wrapped her cloak around her body, and was carried by the Night Terror Hall to continue to climb up, gradually reaching the top of the Hongshan Mountain, and there were no mountains in her field of vision, and you could see it for thousands of miles.

The Night Terror stopped the horse at leeward, then removed the small tent from the side of the horse and set it up at the top of the hill.

Although the Queen Mother didn't know much about this, she still squatted down to help, and when the half-person-high triangular tent was propped up, she knelt in it and laid out the blanket.

Night Terror Hall stood outside and lit the lamp, looked down and found that the upper body of the hand warmer had entered the tent, but the waist and hips with perfect curves were exposed, swaying with the movements, his heart moved slightly, and he raised his hand and patted it.

Syllable~

"Huh?"

The Queen Mother was caught off guard, and immediately turned over and sat on the blanket, aiming at the guards, but she didn't say anything, just moved inside a little, and unfolded the blanket on her body:

"It's cold outside, come in."

The Night Terror Hall lowered his head into the small tent, hung the oil lamp at the entrance, and then shrunk into the blanket together, hugging his shoulders:

"This time flies quite quickly, half a year in a flash."

"yes."

The Queen Mother leaned in her arms, looking at the snow scene outside the mountain, and remembered the scenery on the top of the mountain that she used to think about day and night, but now she really sat here, and wanted to sigh with emotion, but she didn't know what to say, and after looking at it for a while, she asked:

"Let's ...... What do we do next? ”

Night Terror Hall was playing with the soft jade tuan'er, and he could obviously feel Huai Yan's gradually accelerating heartbeat, but he was not too direct, he pulled out his hand and closed the door curtain, so as not to blow in the cold wind:

"Tired of running so far, aren't you? Why don't I give you a massage? ”

“……”

The Queen Mother felt that the Night Terror Hall should have bad intentions, but she had come here, and she couldn't sit for a while and go back......

窸窸窣窣~

After the Queen Mother pursed her lips, she still untied her belt, revealing her plump and white fragrant shoulders and back, turned around and lay on the blanket, hugged the soft pillow and whispered:

"It's a little cold~"

"It's okay, it's hot when you rub it."

Night Terror took out the frost from his waist, applied it to his hands and rubbed it hot, then put his hands on his waist, slid it up, and slapped it twice, the technique was quite sophisticated.

Bang Bang Bang ~

The Queen Mother felt it for a moment, because her movements were very measured, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated, and after a little consideration, she had nothing to say:

"Night Terror, isn't this palace useless?"

Night Terror pulled down his thin pants a little, revealing a full moon like a shelled egg, because Huai Yan was not nervous this time, and his legs were not tightly together, but he could see a line of powder when he looked down.

Although his attention was not very concentrated, Night Terror Hall was still very serious, and responded:

"How so."

"Alas, you don't have to coax me, I know it myself."

The Queen Mother leaned her head against the soft pillow and recalled:

"I remember when I was three years old and just started to remember, my father and mother specially invited a few Jiangzhou Confucians to be gentlemen in order to train me to be a lady like a Chinese girl. As a result, I was naughty all day long, I forgot to study in the morning and forgot at night, and I glared at the gentleman angrily, and I was not good at beating me, so I told my father euphemistically, I am a tiger girl, I am naturally active, and I can only become a talent by practicing martial arts.

"So my father and mother laid the foundation for me again, and asked the masters of the entire Jiangzhou to come and guide me in martial arts. But I was too tired to practice martial arts, I fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and I couldn't learn it at all, so that the master could only say to my father, 'Everything is indisputable, and you can be at peace with what happens, this is a natural Tao, and mortals can't teach it'.

"Then I was sent to Yuxu Mountain, and let the living immortal Lu Taiqing teach it personally, and on the first day of going up the mountain, I drew two bearded strokes on the portrait of the ancestor of Yuxu Mountain......

"Huh?!"

Night Terror Hall was carefully appreciating the flowers, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a blink of an eye:

"Senior Lu didn't beat you?"

"No, Shui'er is a demon everywhere in Yuxu Mountain, and Lu Taiqing is used to it, but he just let me live with Shui'er. I was crazy everywhere with Shui'er, but in the end, I found out that Shui'er didn't do anything serious all day long, and I could still take the first place in martial arts in the door, and I was the first from the bottom, and I was persuaded to retire by Lu Taiqing after staying for half a year, and then somehow, I came to the capital......"

The Queen Mother was obviously very happy when she talked about being naughty and mischievous when she was a child, but when she talked about entering Beijing, her expression became lost:

"It may be that when I was a child, I was naughty and mischievous, and I made God unhappy, and just halfway through, the first emperor died, and the queen became the queen mother. I thought I could go back, but the eldest son of the emperor succeeded to the throne, and in order to win over the southeastern clan, he still invited me into the capital.

"At that time, my father and mother were not in front of me in the palace, and there was only one red jade by my side, so I didn't dare to be naughty, and I was worried about what to do with the Yuhu sisters all day long.

"In fact, Yuhu is still older than the palace, she was very well-behaved at that time, and every day she took her sister to Fushou Palace to greet me, and accompanied me out of the palace to relax.

"The two sisters and their mothers left early, and as soon as the emperor left, they became helpless princesses, because they were smart and favored by the first emperor, and they were always used to say that the eldest son of the pope, and the eldest son of the emperor was very dissatisfied with them, and after they ascended the throne, they discussed with the courtiers and married their sisters to Beiliang.

Bengong knew that they had no place in the capital, and secretly persuaded them to find a wishful husband to marry, or follow Shui'er to Yuxu Mountain in the name of cultivation.

"I don't know how many people died in the capital that night, anyway, the next day it was Li Xiang who took the lead and impeached the eldest son of the emperor for forging a testament to win the country, and he was mediocre and unworthy of being the king, so I asked the queen mother to choose another choice of monarch......

"After Yuhu became the emperor, the life in the palace was more comfortable, but he couldn't leave the palace and return to his hometown. That's 10 years......"

The Queen Mother told the past, and in the end she felt a little off track, and pulled back to the topic:

"Anyway, since I was a child, I can't do anything, I can copy the paintings of the departed people, and I can paint them as chicken sellers...... Oh~! ”

While she was talking, the Queen Mother suddenly noticed that the hand of the Night Terror Hall was wrong, and she slipped where she shouldn't have touched, and hurriedly put her legs together, her face flushed and looked back.

Night Terror's hand was wrapped in warmth and softness and couldn't move, so he lay on his side:

"Don't be presumptuous, that 'hawker buying chicken picture', Ning'er knows that there is the charm of water at a glance, which shows that he has learned inside, but he is too lazy to polish it."

The Queen Mother has never experienced this, her waist is twisted slightly, and her breath is not very stable:

"You...... What do you do? ”

Night Terror rubbed his middle finger, making Huai Yan tremble:

"Chat with you, what else can I do. You can do everything, but you can't do it because you don't have the motivation to keep improving. For example, me, I am strong in martial arts, but I was also beaten out by my father-in-law, and I was beaten before I grew up; If I held it in the palm of my hand since I was a child, I'm afraid I would only be a half-bottle of water dangling now......"

The Queen Mother couldn't breathe, she wanted to speak but couldn't speak, raised her white neck, arched her instep, and kicked back and forth.

Seeing that this was the end of the night, the Night Terror Hall withdrew his hand and turned Huai Yan over, pinching his face:

"Otherwise, I'll set a goal for you, if you can't achieve it, you will be dealt with by family law, how about it?"

The Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up the blanket a little, and her face was full of shame:

"What goal?"

"Hmm...... Within a month, I will learn "Yanshan Intercepting Clouds", and I must practice to the point where I can run 100 steps on the water without getting my shoes wet. ”

"A month?"

Although the Queen Mother has a foundation in light skills, it is a bit too difficult to learn this kind of mastery in a month, and it is almost ...... in half a year

"If you can't learn, you won't be able to beat this palace?"

"Eh, how could I hit you."

Night Terror shook his head and asked:

"In "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman", how to deal with mistakes in the family law, have you seen it?"

Tears of the Heroine......

The Queen Mother naturally saw it, and it was all the moves of 'fox tail upper body' and 'skipping rope with milk cover bells', specifically bullying humiliated chivalrous women......

"How can this work?!"

The Queen Mother hurriedly shook her head, her eyes were full of eyes, and she would rather die than give in.

Night Terror Hall was a little helpless, nodded slightly, and said:

"It's right if you don't want to be punished, so that you have the motivation to study hard, and the matter is so decided, if you can't learn in a month, you won't be able to ......"

The Queen Mother is still a girl who has not yet left the cabinet for the time being, where can she accept those scenes of shameful death, and hurriedly shook her head:

"No, this palace didn't agree, you don't count it alone."

"Good, obedient."

Night Terror lowered his head to his red lips as he spoke.

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, and her mind suddenly became chaotic, and she wanted to resolutely state her position, but her mouth was blocked.

"Woo......"

She held the chest of the night terror, pushed it and couldn't move, so she could only accept it in reverse.

After adapting to it for a while, he hugged his neck again, closing his eyes and weakly catering to him.

Zizi~

Under the stars and moon, the top of the mountain is as light as a bean.

There were no words in the small triangular tent, only the reflection of the man, moving up and down in the dim light, accompanied by the soft murmur of the woman.

After lingering for an unknown amount of time, the woman's soft words sounded again in the tent:

"Wait a minute......"

Night Terror Hall raised his head, leaned in front of the cheek of the national color Tianxiang, and asked softly:

"Huh? Regretted it? Why don't we go back and talk about it? ”

The Queen Mother pulled the Night Terror Hall and ran to the top of the Hongshan Mountain, how could she escape from the battle, after a little hesitation with her eyes, she took out a white handkerchief from her skirt and stuffed it into the hand of the Night Terror Hall:

"No, you...... Put this on the line, it's the rule. ”

Night Terror Hall was a little amused, and leaned forward to ask:

"You've always carried a white handkerchief?"

"I knew that you were plotting against this palace, so you were prepared...... Woo-"

……

The delicate throat whispered tactfully, and it was like a phoenix singing for nine days on the top of the silent mountain.

Night Terror looked at the reddened little face, and after a moment of silence, he leaned up and kissed the red lips, and the person in his arms slowly relaxed in the caressing......

———

Ask for a monthly pass, it's the last few months, thank you all for supporting all the way to the present or2
