Chapter 56: Without a Trace, Without a Boundary [I]
Zhenbei Royal Domain.
Yanzhou.
Xia Tong Town.
Jing Yao is no longer in this inn.
However, the two clothed guests of the altar court still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
"You said he'd come back?"
A clothed guest asked.
"He's not coming back...... Because he didn't know much about this stranger's court. But the one next to him will definitely come back. ”
The leader said.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if these two people come back or not, the important thing is to bring the little girl back. ”
The leader continued.
"I think they have that ability. ”
Another robber said.
His eyes glanced at the woman beside him.
But it was Jing Yao's "lady".
"You're not his wife at all, are you?"
The leader asked.
"If I'm his wife, you ought to ask him. Why are you asking this stranger?"
The woman said calmly.
"I just want to ask you. ”
The leader of the clothed guest squinted and said.
"I am. ”
The woman said.
The leader nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the other person:
"They'll be back. Both of them will!"
That night, under Gao Ren's persuasion and mediation, Jing Yao finally reached an agreement with the people in the court.
That is, this woman was taken hostage, and then Jing Yao and Gao Ren and their party went to hunt down the strange little girl first.
As long as this little girl is handed over to the people in the altar, their suspicion will naturally be washed away.
However, these two clothed guests previously said that this little girl was the descendant who wrote the "Records of the Altar and Court", which made Gao Ren very puzzled......
There have always been rumors in the market that this "Tanting Ting Record" was written by the first court master of the Tanting Courtyard himself.
If so, doesn't it mean that this little girl is a descendant of that one?
Since he is the descendant of that person, how could he be surrounded and hunted down by the altar court and be so downcast?
It is said that it was in the imperial period about 200 years before the dynasty.
At that time, the emperor longed for the immortal road, bathed and burned incense every day, and scrubbed and alchemized.
At that time, there was a stranger who claimed to have been to the Tianfu Immortal Kingdom and returned, and he could teach the emperor the art of immortality.
The emperor asked him, what was the appearance of the immortal, and where was the heavenly mansion?
The emperor was overjoyed, so he ordered a large construction project, to take the meaning of nostalgia for the world, and build a hesitant hall for this stranger to live.
For a time, the whole country was seeking immortals.
Who knew that in addition to this immortal technique, the emperor also wanted this stranger to teach him some techniques of yin and yang fusion......
Yiren thought that the emperor was too old to do anything.
Unexpectedly, he wanted a daughter.
There are forty-three princes in this dynasty, and there are more than 100 people with grandchildren!
But there is not even a boudoir......
This couldn't help but make the emperor very regretful.
Now that there is a wonderful method of the Inhuman Immortal Family, it is possible to reconcile yin and yang from it, and overcome rigidity with softness.
After the alien calculated, he told the emperor about the cause and effect.
said that there was a maid in the Shangshu Mansion of the former Ministry of Industry, who had to be sold as a domestic slave because of her poor family.
Later, because of his handsome appearance, he was sent to be a concubine by the Ministry of Works.
The latter two conceived a daughter named Cuiwei.
Cuiwei is two years older than the prince, but she is born with the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower.
One day due to a coincidence, he happened to be bumped into by the prince, and since then the prince's heart has been rippling, and he has been bitter and lovesick every night.
However, this Cuiwei didn't have any feelings for the prince......
It's just that it's a net weight for the difference in identity.
But this prince has had a perverse temperament since he was a child.
Others are proud of their property rights and talk about the past.
But this prince not only does not know how to learn, but he is also very high-flying.
From the ministers of the court and the central government to the people of Gyeonggi, they all resented him.
With such a character and demeanor, Cuiwei looks down on her even more.
Once, this Cuiwei met the prince again and the long street.
The prince saw that his flattery and flattery failed, but he wanted to be strong on the street!
Cuiwei has a strong personality and is good at martial arts and does not like literature.
It was actually kicked in the prince's lower abdomen!
After recovering, Cuiwei was worried about the incident at the east window, so she hurriedly found her father and asked for a long errand.
And he went to the remote and barren land to the northwest.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu has a son and nephew on the back, who is a military general of Zhenguan in a border pass in the northwest of the world.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu couldn't help his daughter crying and begging, so he had to hand over an errand to her, and told her not to delay!
But this Cuiwei is a girl's nature, and she stops and stops all the way, and it is rare in the east and in the north.
When he arrived at the border pass, he learned that the military general had already changed the defense area.
When he found this general, he learned that Gyeonggi was already in trouble because of her kick......
Not only was his father dismissed from office and imprisoned.
The entire Shangshu Mansion was also raided......
Cuiwei's mother died of vomiting several liters of blood in prison at night due to a sudden change in her family path.
Cuiwei has no support, but she has to wander around, and at the same time has to avoid being wanted by the government.
How can she, who has a lot of food and clothing, suffer from such hardships?
If you don't eat meat for half a day, you will feel that it will be very bland......
Several times there have been traitors who saw her beautiful and fragrant, but she was alone, so they had evil thoughts.
Fortunately, in the end, she was able to escape......
Cuiwei is like this in the market.
One night, she came to a dead end.
It's not that she deliberately wants to walk this dead end, but that her legs are led by her nose......
There are only two shops in the cul-de-sac.
One sells sesame oil, and the other sells spring noodles.
It was late at night.
The owner of the sesame oil shop was preparing the door panel, and then closed the door and turned off the lights.
But his neighbor had to drive for a few more hours.
Only after the drunkards and gamblers had come to him for a bowl of supper, the day's livelihood could be considered completely over.
The alley is in tatters and potholes...... Normal people will break their feet if they are not careful, so there are not many people who will come here after drinking too much.
However, the owner of Yangchun noodle shop is never discouraged.
Still waiting day by day, looking forward to it.
I don't know if it's because there is a sesame oil shop.
Cuiwei felt that the whole alley was a little greasy......
The owners of the two shops both saw Cuiwei standing at the mouth of the alley.
The woman who appeared in the middle of the night at the third watch, no matter where she was, was very strange.
After all, at the time, it seemed like only a man's right to go out at night.
Unmarried girls either do embroidery work with their female companions in the boudoir, or they are busy serving their fathers and mothers.
As for those who are married, they are even more pitiful......
Every night the old man screamed and the child cried.
It's already November, and the hot water vapor in the Yangchun noodle shop is steaming out a fragrance more and more.
There was no one else at all except Cuiwei.
Especially without men.
The owner of Yangchun Noodle Shop showed a little disappointment in his eyes.
With Cuiwei's belly alone, she can only eat two or two sides at most......
But I'm not sorry for his suffering tonight.
A man is not going to like a man.
But now the most attractive thing about this boss is the man.
Especially in the summer, those men who finish their hard work and are covered in sweat.
They were eaten noodles, but two taels were not enough for a bite.
Although there is no lot of money in a small business, it can still make him smile after all.
But now, there are no men......
There is only one Cuiwei, who is as thin as cardboard.
Cuiwei was confused by the greasy smell of the alley, and after coughing, she spat on the side of the road......
Her body leaned against the door of the shop that sold Yangchun noodles, and the door panel rattled.
The owner of the Yangchun noodle shop did not wear cotton clothes.
Because he had to keep an eye on the fire under the stove at all times.
Not only should the fire not be too uneven, but also that you should be able to keep warm.
"Eat noodles?"
The boss asked.
Cuiwei didn't speak.
She wanted to eat noodles, but she didn't even have a big son on her.
In fact, there are many ways for a woman to eat a meal that doesn't cost money.
But Cuiwei didn't want to let herself become so lowly.
So no matter how hungry or thirsty she is, she has kept the bottom line.
"If you don't eat noodles, it's a dead end. ”
The boss said.
"I just like dead ends. ”
Cuiwei said unrelentingly.
The wings of the nose kept moving, as if trying their best to absorb the fragrance of this spring noodles.
"The living walk a dead end. Don't eat Yangchun noodles in winter!"
The boss said.
After hearing this, Cuiwei's face changed greatly!
She turned sharply to leave, but the door panel she had leaned against had surrounded her like a rice dumpling.
"What are you going to do?"
Cuiwei asked.
"Of course you yourself should be well aware of your worth!"
The owner of Yangchun noodle shop said.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, he recognized Cuiwei as the wanted criminal who was issued a sea fishing document.
"Are you in it for the bounty?"
Cuiwei asked.
"No, I'm rich. ”
The boss said.
"I'm very rich, and I still want to sell Yangchun noodles?"
Cuiwei asked disdainfully.
"It's a pity that I can't use my money...... So you can only sell Yangchun noodles here. ”
The boss said with a sigh.
"Can you use it if you catch me?"
Cuiwei asked.
"Of course, you are a rebel who has hurt the prince! If you are caught, the great sin can be written off. If you were in my place, would you do that?"
The boss asked.
"I'll ......"
Cuiwei thought for a moment and sighed.
"Since you can, you can't blame me. ”
The boss said.
After speaking, he was ready to start.
"I want to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles!"
Cuiwei said suddenly.
The boss's hand was stunned on the spot, and then nodded with a smile and said yes.
The door panel is still half surrounded by Cuiwei, but the boss has turned around and walked into the shop to stir up the charcoal fire, ready to start cooking noodles!
At this moment, it suddenly began to snow in the sky.
However, in the northwest in November, this is not an uncommon occurrence.
Cuiwei saw the snowflakes fluttering, falling on the ground and falling into the pot of boiling noodle soup.
Under the dark canopy, Cuiwei crouched down and curled up.
The door panels around him are still towering.
She is an oasis like a mansion in the outline of the mountains.
At this moment, Cuiwei felt that she couldn't see things clearly......
But she didn't know if it was because of the snow, or the steaming noodle soup pot, or simply because she was so hungry that she was dizzy......
Looking at the warm and enthusiastic soup pot in front of her, Cuiwei remembered all the things in the past, and she was about to laugh out loud.
She suddenly lost interest in everything in the world......
Immediately, a bloody breath quickly surged up in his throat.
The next moment, there was a whoop and vomited a mouthful of blood.
This mouthful of blood, but it was all spit into the pot impartially.
The boss is a left-hander, and with chopsticks in his left hand, he actually reached into the pot and stirred it a few times
Although Cuiwei's face was haggard, the gaze of his eyes was colder than the wind and snow, and stronger than the wind!
"If you vomit blood, you have to drink some wine to make up for it!"
The boss suddenly spoke.
Cuiwei looked up when she heard the voice, but saw that all the things that surrounded her had disappeared.
This dead end suddenly became incomparably wide and unobstructed in her eyes.
It is said that this world is like a dream, and after a dream, it is a dream.
But no matter how many dreams I had, I was still in the world when I had sex......
It is often said that the way of the world has changed, but in fact, the way of the world is far less rapid than the rapid change of this person's heart.
Even now, Cuiwei can still clearly recall the old days.
The wind and frost of the years have never blurred the figure, and they have emerged one by one in this snowy day.
"Are you going to invite me for a drink?".
Cuiwei asked, standing up, looking at her father.
Her eyelashes were so long that they were stained with white snowflakes.
"Yes. ”
The boss said.
"Then I'm going to drink spirits. ”
Cuiwei said with a smile.
She didn't know why the boss had suddenly changed like this.
However, when a person does not have any vision, he is already numb to these changes.
"The little girl still wants to drink strong wine?
The boss asked, turning his back to Cuiwei.
"The strongest wine! the one that is so strong that a glass can make me fall asleep. ”
Cuiwei said.
"No matter what kind of alcohol, if you drink too much, you can sleep. It's just that in such weather, if you drink too much and sleep over, you will only freeze to death. ”
The boss said.
"Is there a difference between life and death for you?"
Cuiwei said indifferently.
Those posted everywhere are not on the papers, but they clearly state that they don't care about Cuiwei's life and death.
So she didn't think that this boss would matter her life or death.
Perhaps the dead were easier for him.
After all, dead people can't cry or make trouble, but they are extremely obedient.
"If you don't vomit this mouthful of blood, it really has nothing to do with me. But now, you have to drink with me. Why don't the dead go in and drink, so you have to live!"
The boss turned around, held a flask in one hand, and sat down on the threshold.
"What about after drinking?"
Cuiwei looked at the flask handed over by the boss, but did not reach out to take it.
"To drink is to drink. If you want to do something after drinking, then you can't drink it at all!"
The boss said.
Cuiwei didn't say anything more.
After taking the flask, he drank it in one gulp.
"Where's this wine?!"
Cuiwei said angrily.
smashed the flask in his hand.
Although she hadn't drunk much, she knew what it should taste like.
In the wine jug handed to him by the boss, it was clearly water......
Cuiwei was angry, but she snatched the wine jug from the boss's hand and drank it up.
"Why is it water?"
Cuiwei said with a sip.
"If you want the strongest wine in the world, isn't water the source of all wines? Just like if you want to drink the widest water, then the East China Sea is the source of all waters. ”
The boss said.
Cuiwei shook her head......
I felt that the person in front of me must be a little abnormal......
First of all, I want to exchange myself for the freedom to spend money.
Then I saw her vomit blood, but I wanted to invite her to drink again!
And then there was another nonsense in the clouds.
Now Cuiwei has only one thought, and that is to escape as far away as possible.
She returned the flask to her boss.
The moment the boss took it, Cuiwei turned her head and ran towards the exit like the wind and electricity.
But after a cup of tea, until he was out of breath, he found that he still hadn't run to the mouth of the alley.
This alley is not deep.
When she came in, she had only walked a few dozen steps at most.
Cuiwei looked back suspiciously, and found that the Yangchun noodle shop was still behind her.
And the boss, too, was still sitting on the threshold, sipping the water in the flask.
"Who the hell are you!"
Cuiwei clenched her arms, suddenly feeling a little scared.
Everyone has the fear of the unknown.
What's more, Cuiwei can be regarded as half a martial arts cultivator, but such a strange situation cannot be done by any martial arts.
"I said, you'll have to drink with me. If you don't finish drinking, you can't die and you can't leave. ”
The boss said.
Cuiwei muttered for a long time and then nodded and sat down next to her wife.
The boss handed him a flask again, which of course contained water.
"You say that this water is the source of ten thousand wines, so what if I want to drink the water of ten thousand waters?"
Cuiwei asked.
She was still a little unconvinced......
Although I don't know who this boss is and what kind of idea he has in mind.
But Cuiwei seems to have caused some trouble to embarrass her.
It seems that this is the only way to overcome the fear in the heart.
Many times, people speak loudly and scold loudly, which is actually a manifestation of lust and guilt.
It's just to pre-emptively strike.
It's a pity that many things are quietly changing many things unintentionally.
The world is full of grinding, and everyone must have a unique experience.
"This wine smells of wine, and the water smells of water. Yangchun noodles have the taste of Yangchun noodles. At first, I asked you if you eat noodles, but you didn't tell the truth...... You must know that the most precious thing in this world is truth. The kick you kicked the prince back then was also a certain cause and effect in your life. No one can change everything that comes their way, but you can change your mindset. Fang Cai's mouthful of blood that has been stagnant for so many years spit out, do you feel that it is much clearer?"
The boss asked.
Cui Wei was silent.
With his head down, he began to drink the water from the jug.
It's just that the water is a little salty now, and there is a fishy smell.
It's exactly like the water!
"Blood is stronger than wine, and water is thinner than wine. You've traveled a few miles and seen a lot of stories. The heart of a person is so naturally erect, maybe you don't feel anything at first, but as long as there is a vacancy, you will suddenly find it. ”
The boss continued.
I don't know why, but Cui Wei feels that this boss's words are not nonsense.
If you really listen to it, there is some truth.
But although she thought so in her heart, she didn't admit it in her mouth.
"You have the courage to face the more tragic picture of the past, which just shows the calmness in your heart......"
"That's not tranquility, that's pain, and loneliness......"
Cuiwei interrupted the boss and said.
Some people are willing to live in their own loneliness.
Even if his eyes are full of flowers and he has seen the mountains and rivers, his heart is still cold and cold.
Although some people sing about wine every night, they sing about the geometry of life.
It seems to be full of friends, but it is even more lonely.
"The things of the world are just gatherings and dispersals. The rest of the things don't seem to be as important as these two things in life. After all, this gathering and dispersion is just a normal state in life. Your so-called loneliness is nothing more than dispersion. When it is gone, it will be the beginning of the gathering. ”
The boss said.
Although Cuiwei doesn't know when it will be gone, and wait until it begins, she does admit that the rest of the things in this world don't seem to be as important as the two things of gathering and dispersing. The great role and significance in life.
After making a lot of noise on the ground, Nangui Yan suddenly flew away again.
It's just that there are flocks of geese jumping happily, and there are also lonely silent.
When you get together, you are mostly happy, and when you are scattered, you are always sad.
As if in a trance, Cuiwei suddenly understood.
When they dispersed, it was these things that said goodbye to their lives.
Since goodbye, there will always be a time to meet.
Why do people care so much about parting?
In fact, all people care about is getting together after parting.
Just as she had this realization, she turned her head and saw that there was a person in the empty house beside her......
Cuiwei got up and walked into the store, where she saw a bowl of steaming Yangchun noodles on the board, with a poached egg on it.
Cuiwei picked up the bowl and asked for the poached egg, but only then did she see a book under the bowl.
She put down the bowl, picked up the book, and flipped a page casually.
"The immortal court opens the altar, and one is traceless. Without a trace is without a trace, without a trace, without a trace. There are traces, traces, and touches, and it is enough to hinder oneself, hinder oneself, and nuisance oneself. It can't be fully connected. The road is full of beauty, not in one place. It's just because of this traceless volley that it's true. The second is clarity. Clear square can also be round. Fang Yuan's classes alternate, just like the moon is cloudy and sunny, and it is full of painting and poetry at that time. These two are emptiness and spirit. All the charm gathers and fills the charm. The third is borderless. Those who seek in the realm where boundless and traceless intersect are all stubborn, and they should be self-integrated. Great love arises from the heart, and great hatred arises from the heart. There is a zombie besieged by itself, the road is different, the wind is not smooth, the water is not smooth, and the feelings are incoherent. The heart is blocked from right and wrong, not endless, but if there is no boundary. Ask the immortals how they can swallow heaven and earth, how they can contain the light of the sun and the moon, how they can escape humanity, know human nature, and do their best to cover the cause of this......"
Cuiwei read it with difficulty, but she didn't understand a word.
In a hurry, she simply threw the book aside and concentrated on eating noodles.
But in his heart, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and picked up the book from the place he had just thrown in.
After a bit of effort, I found that it was still exactly the same text.
Cuiwei didn't believe in evil, and turned a few more pages on the spot, but no matter which page she turned to, the text that appeared was the same paragraph just now.
Although Cuiwei couldn't understand it, she also remembered a few words when she saw it countless times.
Especially the four words "Immortal Court Open Altar" said at the beginning.
But somehow, she remembered the wrong order and became "Immortal Altar Session".
Later, the word "immortal" and the word "altar" also faintly disappeared in my mind.
There are only two words left: "altar" and "court".
