Chapter 2: The Realm of Dreams
When it comes to the country of Nanli, there are two cities adjacent to each other, and it is a military important place for the country.
Liangyue City, since ancient times, it has been rumored that there are beauties over there, and there are heroes in Xueyang City.
And when it comes to Blood Yang City, I have to mention the character of Shao Yifei, why do you say that! In the war between the Southern Li Kingdom and the enemy country, how many heroes threw their heads and spilled blood, and the most famous was General Shao Yifei of Xueyang City, and he was only seventeen years old when he was already on the battlefield.
It is said that he was born with brute strength and can carry the tripod! At the age of fifteen, he was already famous, showing his extraordinary strength! In the competition of the first warrior of the imperial court, he defeated Shen Tianhu, who was also a warrior, and won the victory! Who is Shen Tianhu! He is a well-known martial arts wizard, and he is a few years older than Shao Yifei, and he was even defeated by him.
When others were still studying in private schools, Shao Yifei had already thoroughly studied Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he was inspired to serve the country loyally and serve the imperial court, but his personality was a little eccentric, his temper was perverse, and it was okay when he didn't lose his temper, but when he started his temper, he was out of control and completely uncontrollable.
However, he has always loved beauties, only when the court gave him the prime minister's daughter, he restrained his temperament, but recently I heard that since he participated in the battle of the previous day, the cold poison in his body has completely attacked, speaking of this poison, in fact, the imperial doctor does not know why, so he can only explain it with cold poison, since he is sensible, there is always a kind of pain that erodes the bones and bones, but after rummaging through all kinds of books on medical treatment, I can't find any radical cure.
Therefore, he can only recuperate in the house. Later, he met Bai Qiuyue because of a beautiful picture, and a Taoist priest said that only that woman could cure his stubborn disease, so the relationship between the two began, which is a later story. Let's not talk about it for now.
Let's talk about the beauties of Liangyue City, there is a daughter, surnamed Bai, the name of Yuhan, Liangyue City rice shop, the owner of the winery, the daughter of Bai Zhenggui, can be described as a beautiful Xizi, born at a young age, and very smart and kind, once she released a sparrow, that sparrow was originally raised by Fang Qingzhu, the son of a wealthy merchant Fang Lao's family, but it was sick and dying.
When Bai Yuhan followed his father to this rich merchant to sit as a guest, he touched the bird's head and told the rich businessman's son Fang Qingzhu: "This bird is not sick, but misses the sky that belongs to her, all creatures in the world yearn for freedom, you are depriving this bird of happiness, let it go, let it chase freedom, this is your love for it!" ”
Fang Qingzhu put the bird in his hand in disbelief, looking at the bird's choice, he didn't expect the bird to wake up, stir its wings, and fly away! Fang Qingzhu looked at the cold and intelligent woman in front of him, and he had shown a good impression of her since he was a child, so much so that when she chose to go out to accompany her mother later, he often mentioned Sister Yuhan.
At that time, Bai Qiuyue was not called Bai Qiuyue, but Bai Yuhan.
Bai Yuhan's story starts from a nunnery in the south of Liangyue City.
In the south of Liangyue City, there is a place called Cuilong Mountain, this mountain is rich all the year round, and there is always a thin layer of clouds and mist on that piece of emerald green, and the scenery is pleasant, and it is poetic and picturesque, so it gets this name. There is a nunnery in the mountain, called Cui Nunnery. There is a small house at the foot of the mountain. This cottage is very simple, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. And a woman dwelt in it.
Her life was very simple, when she was hungry, she went up to the mountains to pick wild fruits to eat. When you are thirsty, you drink spring water. Sometimes he would walk down the small steps on the mountain, peeling off some of the weeds and thorn bushes that were caged on the small steps to find his mother.
Sometimes her white feet would be bruised by thorns, but the thought of seeing her mother would quicken her pace and not care about the injury at all. The beautiful woman named Ouyang Zhenjing gradually lost her beauty after becoming a nun. A nun with the name of Jingxian.
She chose to be a nun because her husband was indifferent to her. He found a beautiful woman, Ma Suqin, as a concubine. There was also a boy who was two years older than his daughter, who said that Master Bai was out in love. Master Bai remembered the chaos after drinking one day, and remembered Ma Suqin, so he let them stay in his house. After many times of persuasion to no avail, coupled with the discord of their mother and son, Ouyang Zhenjing was kicked out of the house.
But her ten-year-old girl, Bai Yuhan, was naturally stubborn, and she also followed her to the nunnery. At the foot of the mountain, the Yangren built a small house, and this stay was eight years.
Xiao Yuhan's companionship made Ouyang Zhenjing feel a lot more relieved.
But considering that she can't stay with herself for a long time after all. Because her age is just in the flowering season, she shouldn't be as disheartened as herself.
The daughter is sensible and precocious, and at a young age, she can survive in the house at the foot of the mountain by herself, and she can cook and eat by herself. When she was a beauty-loving year, she would also pick some beautiful mountain flowers and pin them on her head, and sometimes she would take care of the stream in the mountain stream, and it would actually be pleasing to her heart to look at the beautiful appearance when she was dressed up a little. When the weather is warm, when she sees no one around, she will strip her clothes and take a good bath in the stream.
Sometimes butterflies will flutter around her, the fawn will hide in the mountains and forests to watch her quietly, once she raised a fawn because of kindness, she felt that everything in nature is very spiritual, the fawn she raised is called Xiaoling, because its eyes are very spiritual, after raising it for a while, it suddenly disappeared, maybe it went to find its family.
On the morning of the day it left, there was a sound of yo yo deer in the valley, as if to say goodbye to her, and her heart was very empty after she left Xiao Ling, as if she had lost a very good friend. She had always considered the deer a friend, too.
One night after the deer left, Bai Yuhan had a dream, which went like this:
She wandered like a cloud in a place with a plaque written "Leisure Pavilion" on it, and no one else could see her, and she could see everything that was happening here, which was very comfortable.
The place is in a lovely view. And there are many kinds of strange flowers and plants, so the gods like to come here to enjoy the flowers. So this place has also become the back garden of the heavenly court.
This place is located in the Nine Heavens of Heavenly Court, and it is a place where Taishang Laojun specializes in refining medicine, but non-superior gods cannot do it here. The sound of silk and bamboo musical instruments resounded all day and all night. The fairies come here in colorful cloud clothes, and sometimes the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother come here. They danced to cheer them up.
It can be seen that this pavilion is different. Moreover, compared with other places, the fairy spirit here is particularly vigorous, and the rare and exotic grasses are planted here, which are naturally bathed in fairy energy. It's getting more and more spiritual. They are also gradually becoming conscious. I even want to transform into a human form.
And among them, there is a grass that looks like a blue orchid, but it exudes a faint blue light day and night, and its huge spiritual power actually makes it rob the fairy energy of those flowers and plants. And those fairy grasses are withering day by day. These fairy grasses are bitter.
Strange to say, the spiritual power of this fairy grass would hurt those creatures around her, but there was a divine deer that approached her without being harmed at all......
When Xiancao feels lonely, Shenlu will always talk to her, Shenlu also has five hundred years of practice, it can already transform into a human form, when he transforms into a human form, Xiancao can't help but sigh: "If you go to the mortal world, there must be no one more handsome than you, right?" ”
And Shenlu said with a smile: "Sister Tinglan, the human form I transformed into is average, there are many handsome men and beautiful women in the mortal world, if you transform into a human form, it must be very beautiful, when the time comes, I will take you to the mortal world for a walk, you will definitely fall in love with the mortal world, the mortal world is not as cold as the heavenly court!" Moreover, the mortal world is very lively! "It turns out that this divine deer was originally from the mortal world, but because it ate the fairy who was careless at the Heavenly Peach Conference and accidentally fell into the mortal world, it increased its mana, so it could ascend to heaven.
Tingyue Youlan naturally had a longing for the human form she was about to conjure.
And his first friend when he came to Heavenly Court was Tingyue Youlan.
And when he heard the footsteps of an immortal, he couldn't help but warily transform into a deer again, and he was still seen by the old gentleman who came. It ran away in a puff of smoke. Lao Jun recently heard that a deer from the fairy world had eaten a fairy peach and ascended to heaven, so he didn't care about it.
And he focused on these withered flowers.
Lao Jun, who often comes here to pick herbs for alchemy, was surprised when he saw those withered words: "I raised these flowers well, why did they wither?"
At this time, I saw the grass that emitted a strange blue light. But it grows very fat.
"I've never planted it before. Where did it come from? So Lao Jun conjured up a fairy shovel, but he couldn't do anything. Suddenly remembered an incident where the Demon Venerable had violated this place that day. I was scared for no reason.
And when he was playing chess with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he also mentioned this incident.
Seeing him sigh again and again, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable didn't seem to have any intention of playing chess. So he squinted his eyes and asked, "I don't know why Lao Jun sighed."
But Lao Jun abandoned the chess in his hand, frowned unconsciously, stroked his beard, and said to the god: "Alas, I don't know if Tianzun knows, a strange grass has appeared in this pavilion recently, like Lan Feilan. I don't know what it is? It also has a blue light of yin and yin, which clashes with the qi of heaven, and I can't eradicate it, so I'm worried about it. And I'm afraid that it was left by the Demon Venerable who came to commit this at that time, and there must be a certain amount of suffering if he is eradicated, and Heavenly Court may have this catastrophe~"
"You take me to have a look~" Primordial Tianzun also showed a sad face.
And when he was taken to that place by Lao Jun, the bluegrass really emitted a faint blue light, Tianzun pinched a trick, recited a spell, and used spells to control it, but to no avail. It's still there.
"I'm afraid it's going to be fine." Tianzun sighed.
And I heard it laugh like a silver bell. And this laughter is a woman's laughter.
Lao Jun and Tianzun looked at each other and were amazed.
"I'm Tingyue Youlan. It's been growing for five hundred years, and I didn't expect my master's mount, the hateful crane, to bite me off and leave me here. I breathe the immortal energy here, but my body always wants more immortal energy, and I also want to become an immortal like you. Can you help me become an immortal? That Tingyue Youlan actually spoke.
And Lao Jun naturally knew her situation from her words, it turned out that Tingyue Youlan stayed here because of greed. She absorbs the immortal energy of this every day. Just because she also wants to turn into a human form and become an immortal.
However, according to the degree to which she absorbs immortal energy, her spiritual power is very strong, and it can be said that it is rare to have immortal roots. And once she becomes an immortal, she is likely to pose a threat to Heavenly Court, which is destructive. Because they don't know where she came from.
Just when the two hesitated, suddenly a white-clothed immortal in the distance came with a crane, fluttering in white, carrying a sword on his back, quite Lu Dongbin's style, from the point of view of form, is a chic and bold person, but he is not listed in the immortal list.
"Who's coming?" The two immortals exclaimed.
The man looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, I'm a wanderer, I just want to take my things!" Tinglan, would you like to go back with me~"
"Don't go back~ I want to learn immortal art here." Tinglan said stubbornly.
However, suddenly the light on his back went out of the scabbard, and in an instant, the golden light rose everywhere, the clouds and smoke gathered, this sword, as green as a piece of ice, bright but full of divine power, in an instant, the golden light wrapped the sword, like a soaring dragon, straight to the Tingyue Youlan.
And the strange thing is that the deer appeared again, but it was hacked to death together with Tingyue Youlan. It turned out that this sacred deer had developed an attachment to this orchid, and when the sword slashed at the orchid, it was desperate to save it.
This was also a rarity in the eyes of the two gods.
"Yutian, you're reckless again." The wanderer said to the sword.
And that sword, although it is a sword, there is a sword soul in it, it is the soul of a heavenly general Yutian who died in a duel with the Demon Venerable. And Heavenly Court remembers him meritorious. I want to reincarnate the sword soul. And at this time temporarily dwelling in the sword.
"It is the duty of the heavenly general to slay demons and eliminate demons. Didn't you say that the grass was weird? "The sword is not to be outdone.
"You've got a big temper." The wanderer smiled: "But do you know that you also broke up a pair of mandarin ducks just now."
"Where is the mandarin duck, why didn't I see it?" The sword soul said confusedly.
"You fool, didn't you see that deer's infatuation with that fairy grass? I'm referring to this pair of mandarin ducks. The wanderer smiled: "That immortal grass has been obsessed with becoming an immortal. I saw that she was about to turn into a human form, but you cut her off. Do you think she won't blame you? ”
But the sword soul didn't think so.
However, Tingyue Youlan and the deer turned into blue light and sealed them in a cloth bag.
And the man carried the cloth bag and muttered into it, "I'm sorry for you!"
He rode away again on the crane.
And Taishang Laojun and Primordial Tianzun saw that the turmoil had passed, so they just smiled slightly and continued to play chess.
And Taishang Laojun smiled and said: "I don't think we don't know him, but he doesn't know us, maybe he is the appearance of a certain god~"
The two shook their heads. Laughed.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the two began to play chess again.
This time. Formal duel. The scene has long been thrown out of his mind.
……
And when she woke up in a dream, she still felt palpitations, as if she had just been there, and she didn't know why she had such a dream.
She drank a handful of water by the stream, and saw her own appearance in the river, which was such a beautiful face, but unfortunately her face was full of sorrow that did not fit her age.
She has apricot eyes and peach cheeks since she was a child, and her skin can be broken by blowing, but her appearance is as cold as an orchid in a valley, and she always feels indifferent in her eyes.
She often went up the mountain to share some of the heavy lifting for her mother, such as carrying water, and tried to avoid talking to her mother in order to prevent other nuns from gossiping.
Her mother often taught her that people can be without pride, but not without pride.
So she was disgusted with her old home. Because it was the source of her childhood memories. The little boy Ma Zihao from other places, later changed his father's surname to Bai Zihao, since he came to Baifu with his mother, he disturbed the warm atmosphere of the original Baifu family of three. The little boy forced himself to call his brother, and when he didn't shout, he secretly slapped Xiao Yuhan's palm behind his father's back, making her palms red. and stole his father's money and blamed Bai Yuhan, who was born with Bai Yuhan's ears and was very soft, and beat Xiao Yuhan.
Later, because of one thing, my mother saw through the red dust and no longer cherished everything in the world, so she proposed the idea of escaping into the empty door and always accompanying the green light.
And in order to accompany her mother and get rid of that cage as soon as possible, Xiao Yuhan also lived near the nunnery.
After eight years of living, the white horse passed through the gap, and the original yellow-haired little girl became a refined pavilion girl.
On this day, Ouyang Zhenjing went down the mountain, because she had read the letter sent from Baifu for a long time, and the sentences written on it were sincere. It's nothing more than that Master Bai said that he was forty years old and wanted his daughter to go back. And stay in the White House.
She should also make a decision for her daughter. After all, her daughter is still young, and she will marry someone in the future, so it is not good to keep her like this.
And Bai Yuhan in the small room was drying clothes. In the sun, she has bright eyes and red lips and bright teeth. Her skin is like congealed fat, and it is always inconsistent with this deep mountain.
Seeing her mother coming to her, Bai Yuhan, as usual, got into her mother's arms, just like the coquettish when she was a little girl. Her mother touched her head and held back the reluctance in her heart.
"Daughter, you're old too. Leaving you here would ruin your life. You should see the outside world. When Ouyang Zhenjing tied her hair, she said with concern.
Bai Yuhan said sadly: "Is my mother trying to drive me away?"
Ouyang Zhenjing sighed: "It's not to drive you away." It's just that you can find a good family to marry in a good year like an ordinary girl. And I can't help you. Your father can help you. ”
Bai Yuhan sneered: "I'd rather die alone in the mountains than go back to that hypocritical home in the past."
When he saw a letter in his mother's hand, he snatched it, looked at it, and then tore it off contemptuously.
This is obviously refusing Master Bai's request.
Ouyang Zhenjing thought that her daughter was not sensible, so she coughed angrily, pointed at her daughter, and said in a strong tone: "I don't know how I gave birth to such a daughter as you, in the past, you insisted on coming with me, and I agreed, but do you know that other nuns have been gossiping about me behind my back over the years?" I endure. When you came up to the mountain when you were a child, I didn't save half of my food for you. I don't say anything, after all, I'm your mother. But how have you ever really understood me? You know I've been worried about you all these years. ”
When Bai Yuhan heard her mother say this, tears rolled in her eyes.
She also knew that her mother insisted on driving her away. So after wiping a handful of tears, he took a piece of paper again, picked up a pen and wrote.
The mother wondered what she was writing.
Bai Yuhan has already written it. He smiled at his mother: "Mother, don't worry." I promise you. ”
And the letter reads: "I need a special sedan chair, let the eight sedan chairmen carry it, and only return home when I am satisfied."
And the mother didn't know.
The mother saw that her daughter had changed her mind. She held her daughter's hand and said earnestly: "Daughter, the outside is not as pure as ours." If you want to learn to survive, you must learn to retreat. And what my mother often tells you, people can be arrogant, but they can't be arrogant. You have to remember. Learn to be strong no matter what. Mother is also a last resort. ”
"My daughter understands." Bai Yuhan sensibly wiped her tears for her mother.
Lean on your mother and enjoy this last warmth.
