In the five worlds, each world has its own unique style. For example, the reckless snowfields and vast and rugged fields in the north, the majestic mountains and natural wildness in the west, and the unpredictable and unpredictable laws and authorities in the east.

Entering the Huangjin Palace, every building, every corridor, even every beam and column, and every railing are full of artistic sense, beautiful scenery and ingenious collocation, making the whole palace like a huge, ingenious work of art.

Especially the further you go to the center, the more you feel this feeling. Every time you enter a courtyard building, the beautiful scenery you see on the front floor becomes unremarkable, and there are always new surprises in front of you. As we walk, we can't help but think: can it be better than now?

The answer is yes.

It could be better, more wonderful, it's beyond imagination.

As Meng Shuai walked, he was amazed, and he felt that his two eyes were not enough to see, and he wished to have two more eyes.

"You have such a big heart. Wei Chanyu led the way in front, and he was also amazed, but it was not art that sighed, but Meng Shuai himself.

"Up and down the palace, no, in the whole world, who is not nervous when they see our holy maiden? Even I have seen it several times, they are all a little nervous, you are still in the mood to look around. ”

Meng Shuai smiled: "How do you know I'm not nervous? My nervous legs are weak." ”

Wei Chanyu snorted and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't care here, when you go in and see the Holy Maiden, you must be careful, otherwise I won't be able to save you." ”

Meng Shuai arched his hand and said, "Thank you girl for reminding me." After a pause, he added, "I'm strange, why are you leading the way?"

Wei Chanyu said: "In the Huangjin Palace, there are very few people who can see the Holy Maiden, and the people who serve around the Holy Maiden cannot come out. Those who can walk inside and outside can be counted on their fingers. Lately, that's me. ”

Meng Shuai said: "Oh, so you are amazing?"

Wei Chanyu said: "It's okay." ”

How could Meng Shuai not hear the slight smugness in her tone, smiled slightly, and said, "Are you more powerful than the five firsts?"

Wei Chanyu shook his head and said, "That's not it. The saint loves only small children. After the age of Jilu, she doesn't like to see her. When they were young, they all served in front of the saints, and I am not special. ”

Meng Shuai was surprised: "Several of the first seats have served the Holy Maiden? Honghu told me that the saint in her heart was just a vague shadow, and she couldn't even remember her appearance. ”

Wei Chanyu said: "The first seat of Honghu is different. Although every candidate for the first seat is kept in the palace of the Holy Maiden, the previous generation of Honghu passed away unexpectedly, and the first generation of Honghu is particularly young, so it seems that the time spent in the temple is short. And it is said that the first seat has a different background, and there are relatives outside the palace, and when he was young, he often had the opportunity to leave the palace, and he also went to a very far and very remote place. This is something that no one else has. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but show a look of envy.

Meng Shuai thought of the place where he and Xiaohong got acquainted, and sure enough, as Wei Chanyu said, it was 108,000 miles away from the Huangjin Palace, and now he didn't know why Honghu wanted to go to that kind of remote place.

At this time, I heard Wei Chanyu say: "But even if the first Honghu is raised in the temple, she shouldn't be able to remember the appearance of the saint now." ”

Meng Shuai's heart moved, and he asked, "Oh, why is that?"

"It's ......," she hesitated, "and it's a strange thing." Many people in the palace served the saints back then, and some were still personal servants, of course, they knew the saints very well. But when they go out, they will slowly forget everything around the saint, even the appearance of the saint. Except for those we serve now, no one knows what the saint looks like. ”

Meng Shuai shook his head and said, "It's a little scary." ”

Wei Chanyu said: "It's not terrifying, the saint is so noble and sacred, what are the words that are still hanging in the hearts of the laity? Although we know what she looks like and know a little bit about her temperament, we will never talk to anyone about it, and we will not say a word. ”

Meng Shuai snorted, he remembered a conversation with Honghu yesterday.

"Can't describe it?" Meng Shuai asked with some surprise, "You can't describe the Holy Maiden?" is because it's too noble and sacred, so you don't want to talk about her behind your back?"

Honghu shook his head and said, "No, or rather, not all." If someone asks, I will naturally dismiss without saying anything, but for you, I want to describe it. But when I think about it, I can't think of how to describe it. ”

Meng Shuai was also a little dizzy by what she said, and said, "Are you not familiar with the Holy Maiden?" She always stays in places like holy places, and idlers are not allowed to enter, so you haven't seen her a few times?"

Honghu shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Maybe." It is true that the Holy Maiden has always lived in the temple, and hardly leaves the house except for the annual great sacrifice. We see her once or twice a year. But I always felt that I should be more familiar with her. It seems like I've seen her a lot before, but I can't remember it. Maybe she's a god in the sky, and there's a difference between heaven and earth from me, so I can't describe her?"

Meng Shuai was stunned, Honghu is not a person who is tricky, but what she said is that she has the style of being fooled and stupid.

Meng Shuai couldn't help but say, "Has she been asking you recently?"

Honghu said: "You looked for me a few days ago. ”

Meng Shuai said: "You just met a few days ago, and there is no way to describe her?"

Honghu said: "It's strange, isn't it? I should have talked to her face to face yesterday, but I remember the tea she gave me, I remember the incense she lit in front of her, and I remember the sound of the piano in the temple, but I can't remember the appearance and feeling of the saint." There is only a vague shadow, as if I have seen it in a dream, and if you look closely, the dream will wake up all of a sudden, and you can't go back when you wake up. I couldn't find the feeling in my dream. ”

Meng Shuai couldn't hear the gist of it, so he had to sigh: "If it's not a saint, it's different." He thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you remember what you said?"

Honghu said: "Just gossip." She asked me about the underworld, and I told me about it. The underground world is just below the Huangjin Palace, and the palace should have been careful. She didn't ask after listening to it, and then she didn't know about Qingluan's matter, I just said I didn't know. I didn't know. I haven't seen her since she ran away with me. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "Then did you say what Zhiying told you, and Qingluan and I ended up going all the way?"

Honghu said: "I didn't say it. Although I was a little vague about the content of the conversation, I hadn't met Zhiying that day, so I didn't know what you were going through, so what should I say?"

Meng Shuai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just don't say this." I know. ”

Honghu said: "I know you have scruples, and going all the way with Qingluan is not good for you and her reputation." In the end, her fate is unclear, and it is not good for you. But the saint is also a fair person, if it is not particularly private and involves too much, you can make it clear to her, and it will be fine. Save you from being suspicious for no reason. ”

Meng Shuai replied, "I know. I'm measured. ”

Thinking about it, except for Honghu who didn't tell the story of her and Qingluan's journey, she hardly said anything useful. Meng Shuai felt that the saintess was shrouded in a layer of fog at that time, and now when he heard Wei Chanyu say this, he had a new understanding of the "mysteriousness" of the saintess.

In other words, although the saint's whereabouts and behavior are not mysterious, she is the most mysterious. ”

Wei Chanyu said: "The whereabouts are not mysterious, the saint has been practicing in the temple, and she doesn't see outsiders." ”

Meng Shuai said: "Who are outsiders referring to?

Wei Chanyu said: "Not really, during major festivals, during the annual sacrifice, the first people can see the saints." In addition to the first seat of Qingluan. ”

Meng Shuai asked, "Why doesn't the saint like her except Qingluan?"

Wei Chanyu said: "It's not that I don't like her. But the saint only saw the girl who was clear and jade. That kind of ......," she thought of adjectives, "with joy, she is gone." ”

Meng Shuai understood, this is not uncommon, the title of saint itself carries a bit of abstinence, and it is not surprising that she is prejudiced, but said: "She doesn't even see a woman who has a man, and she is willing to see my flesh and blood made of mud, which is really flattering." ”

Wei Chanyu said: "Yes, it's just this strange, this has never happened." She stopped and said, "So you must be careful, the saint may not love to see you in the first place, and if you are not careful, she will not be polite." Although I have said a lot of good things to you, the thoughts of the saint are not something we can control. ”

Meng Shuai said thoughtfully: "When you say that, I don't worry about it." ”

Wei Chanyu said: "Why?"

Meng Shuai said: "You have said good things for me, how can Honghu not say it? You all say good things, you don't like my Qingluan Shouzao but you are not there, and you can't see the saint, the saint naturally has a good impression of me, what am I afraid of?"

Wei Chanyu was funny, but after thinking about it carefully, he said, "What you said also makes sense. Look there—"

I saw a corner of the eaves exposed in the tall trees in front of me.

Seeing the corner of the eaves, Meng Shuai felt a shock in his heart, as if he saw a little red in the green bushes, dazzling, but other than that, it was not a color.

There is such a delicate and elegant eaves in the world! A small corner is better than the thousands of palaces experienced before.

Meng Shuai was a little stunned, the more he stared at the eaves, the more he couldn't take his eyes off, as if the eaves that were covered by the shade of the trees were better than the gorgeous and colorful world.

In addition to the beauty of the eaves themselves, there is also a string of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, the whole body is carved from flawless white jade, crystal warm and moist, moving with the wind, making the sound of jingle bells, jingle bells.

Meng Shuai has not heard beautiful music, he has heard the sound of the flute played by the master, he has heard the hundred birds and the phoenix played by the largest guqin in the world, and he has also heard the dragon chant that reaches the nine heavens, but now he hears these bells, and he forgets all the other beautiful sounds in his memory, leaving only the most natural collision sound of the wind chimes.

The so-called natural sound, but that's it. Compared with it, even the phoenix chirps are vulgar.

Involuntarily, Meng Shuai stepped on the bell and walked under the eaves. Everything around seems to be gone, the palace is gone, the trees are gone, and the Wei Cicada Jade who led the way is gone.

In his eyes, there is only the eaves, in his ears, there is only the string of bells, and in his heart, he just wants to see what the holy woman in the temple looks like.

Turning away from the tree, a pavilion appeared in front of me.

Matching such a perfect eaves must be an equally perfect palace. The big hall in front of you is worthy of the word "perfect".

No matter from the structure, layout, decoration, details, etc., the palace is perfect, and there is no loss of color because of perfection, neat but not old-fashioned, light and never frivolous, this building can be called a masterpiece.

However, Meng Shuai didn't notice the appearance of the building, and his eyes were all attracted by the figure in the hall.

A shadow stood under the eaves, and the white jade wind chimes were hanging above her head. The contrast between her white and flawless jade and her jet-black hair is very strong, causing a strong visual impact.

The hair hung down like a waterfall, and the appearance below was as white as jade, and the impression of a girl was divided by these two bright colors.

There is such a woman.

It's not that Meng Shuai hasn't seen beautiful women, he has seen all kinds of beauties, all kinds of temperaments and temperaments, Chunlan and Qiuju, each good at winning. Perhaps it is in the eyes of the lover, and he thinks that the most beautiful woman is undoubtedly Honghu. Honghu is worthy of all the adjectives of beauty.

But this woman, he can't even describe it.

It was a kind of beauty isolated from the world, and the girl's body seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of smoke, like smoke and fog, hazy, more blurred than seeing flowers in the fog.

Although it was hazy, his heart was beating wildly, and bursts of blood were surging. I don't know where I am.

Suddenly, the girl lightly opened her lips and said, "It's Meng Gongzi who came?"

Meng Shuai said "Huh?", but he didn't react, and hurriedly said, "It's me." ”

Then, he found his faux pas, and hurriedly bowed respectfully, saying, "Meng Shuai has seen His Excellency the Holy Maiden. ”

The girl returned the salute, and the number of etiquette was very thorough, not like the saint of the world who was high up.

Smiling slightly, the girl turned sideways and said, "The guest is from afar, please use tea inside." ”

Meng Shuai said: "Don't dare to be." He didn't dare to say anything, he didn't even say a word, and followed the girl into the hall.

The layout of the hall is the same as the palace itself, there is no place that is not exquisite, there is no place that is not harmonious, and there is no place that can make people find faults. Meng Shuai only felt that standing on a random floor tile in the hall was a supreme enjoyment, not to mention that the girl also took him into the main hall, let him sit in front of a screen, poured him fragrant tea, and everything was like entertaining guests.

Smelling the wonderful aroma of non-orchid musk from the incense burner, and tasting the crystal clear tea in front of him, Meng Shuai took a deep breath, so as not to let himself be completely intoxicated.

At this time, only listen to the sound of "ding", there is a sound of the piano behind the screen, the sound of the piano is clear and tactful, and the light fragrance of the tea complements each other.

Meng Shuai closed his eyes and listened carefully, and said, "Good piano." ”

The girl smiled and said, "Ask Qinyin to know the meaning of elegance, the son is an elegant person." ”

Meng Shuai blushed and said, "No, in fact, I don't know anything about this kind of Yayin, so I don't know why." ”

The girl smiled lightly, picked up a cup of tea, and said, "The son is too modest." I can see Meng Gongzi today, and he is full of brilliance. The son sits, the little girl replaces the wine with tea, and first toasts the son. ”

Meng Shuai hurriedly said: "How dare you say respect? I have been very honored to visit the Holy Maiden, and I should respect you." ”

The girl smiled: "This cup must be my toast." One is to catch the wind for the son, and the other is to make amends. ”
