Chapter 282: A Drizzle Before Parting
Chang'an City in the early morning is very beautiful, especially when the first rays of sunlight shine on the city in the early morning, that is even better.
Li Xiu rode on the big black horse, looking at this scene, and felt that the first and last lights of the day were extremely beautiful moments.
The moment of birth and the end always give a special feeling.
Like beginning and forgetting.
Xu Yingxiu stood at the gate of the city.
Li Xiu's eyes fell on her, Xu Yingxiu walked over, a pair of long legs looming, she walked in front of the big black horse and stopped, raised her hand to hold the horse rope.
"The barren state is far away, if the young master wants to go on this trip, I should accompany him on the side. β
She looked up at Li Xiu and said with a smile.
Previously, she and Drunken Chunfeng had just left the Locking Sky Tower and heard about Xiao Boru, but because of Drunken Chunfeng, Xu Yingxiu stayed in Chang'an.
It would be a pity not to go to Chen Liuben, and it would be even more pity if he couldn't go to Huangzhou together.
A chorus of shouts rang out at the gates, and the voices of the soldiers defending the city could be heard in the distance, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.
Li Xiu didn't look back, knowing that it must have been Liang Xiaodao rushing over, he looked at Xu Yingxiu, his eyes were gentle, he grew up in Tingxue Building since he was a child, Xu Yingxiu was completely like a sister to him, and it could even be said that what he was most afraid of in the world was Xu Yingxiu.
"Huangzhou is far away, it's better for you to stay in Datang. β
Li Xiu said softly.
The smile on Xu Yingxiu's face disappeared, and her face turned cold.
Liang Xiaodao rode past behind him, and when he saw this scene, he didn't speak, just stood on one side and waited quietly.
Li Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "The barren state is just far away for me, it is not dangerous, at most it is nothing to stay for some more time, but it is different for you, time is very important to you, not to mention that you always have to do what you want to do, you can't always surround me all your life." β
Xu Yingxiu raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with just a few years, not to mention that I've been with you for more than ten years, what about accompanying you all my life?"
Li Xiu sighed and said helplessly: "You always have to get married." β
Xu Yingxiu suddenly fell silent, her willow eyebrows were curved, her eyebrows and eyes changed in an instant, and she said softly after a while: "He may not be willing to marry me." β
That being said, her hand was loosened.
Li Xiu bent down to take the reins and said: "Wang Zhiwei wants to enter the WTO but does not dare to enter the WTO, he has the ultimate talent but has nowhere to exert his strength, I have never understood where he is better than the drunken spring breeze, just because you like it, it is very important." β
Xu Yingxiu did not speak.
She is not a rare woman in the world, nor is she a gentle and lovely girl, but it is extremely rare for a drunken spring breeze.
Perhaps the same is true for Wang Zhiwei.
"Gone. β
Li Xiu smiled at her, and then gently patted the back of the big black horse with his hand.
The big fat black horse shook its head and ran away.
Originally, it was a peerless horse cultivated by the prince of the East Palace who was going to accompany Li Xiu to Huangzhou, but it was unlucky today, and it was lying at the gate of the academy early in the morning and was secretly eaten by Li Xiu, so he couldn't help but ride it.
It's hard to run this 10,000-mile journey without losing weight.
Xu Yingxiu stood in front of the city gate and looked up at the backs of Li Xiu and the others in the distance, and the coldness on her face gradually turned flat.
She waved her hand slightly, and a disciple of Tingxue Lou walked out of the city, leading a good horse and stopping in front of her.
Xu Yingxiu turned over and took a deep look at Li Xiu's back, then turned the horse's head and galloped in the direction of Wudang Mountain.
Since you, Wang Zhiwei, want to enter the WTO but don't dare to enter the WTO too deeply, then I want to see, if you go to Wudang Mountain, this red dust, you can't enter it.
Huangzhou is in the west of Chang'an, if you want to go, you must go through Chenliu, Sijiu City, the extreme west, more than a million miles of green sea, you can arrive.
"Happy. β
Two big horses, one black and one white, galloped on the official road, and the scenery on both sides of the eye fell back wildly, and the roadside post station that was in front of them one second was thrown out of the kilometer in the next second, and the strong wind was coming, blowing the long hair on the heads of the two people and flying backwards.
Liang Xiaodao ignored the knife-like cold wind that went straight to his mouth and nose, raised his head and laughed a few times, shouting happily.
Although Li Xiu didn't speak, the expression in his eyes was also slightly turbulent, since he broke the Three Tribulations and embarked on a cultivation path, this was the first time he had been so indulgent, which felt good.
It's a pleasure indeed.
The sun was rising higher and higher, but the speed of the two showed no signs of slowing down.
Liang Xiaodao's laughter slowly subsided, and said: "Before the drunken spring breeze went to the virtual realm, I let you look at Xu Yingxiu, but now it's good, but you have to let her go to Wang Zhiwei for a good opportunity, isn't this the old hen giving the weasel New Year's greetings and throwing herself into the net?"
Li Xiu said: "Wang Zhiwei is too incompetent, he thinks he is walking in Wudang, and he wants to learn from Chen Linci to save the world, but how can he save the world if he doesn't enter the world?
"Even the little monk of Wuliang Temple dares to claim that he does not prescribe, but he is a stinky Taoist priest who always holds it tightly, but the people in the world who are full of mouths can't even do a big thing, which is very hypocritical. β
Liang Xiaodao flickered for a moment, and then smashed his lips and thought it was very funny, Li Xiu seemed to be sneering and insulting like this, even he saw it for the first time.
"No matter how you listen to him, he's far worse than the drunken spring breeze, what kind of vision does Xu Yingxiu have?"
He reached out and rubbed his chin, and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xiu sighed and said, "Love is such a thing, where can it be explained with reason?"
Liang Xiaodao nodded when he heard this, thinking back to the unforgettable time last night, and agreed with this sentence in his heart.
Love is indeed the most unreasonable thing in the world.
The raccoon is still hanging on Li Xiu's waist, and he doesn't say anything about the conversation between the two, and he says that human beings are really troublesome, which is like our demon clan, if you like it, you will be stunned and taken away, and the raw rice will be cooked into rice, whether you want it or not, if you are willing to do better, if you don't want to, we won't lose.
Rubbing his head gently, Xiong Fat sighed, whether Xu Yingxiu followed or not had some impact on it, after all, it was much more comfortable to lie on a woman's chest than to hang on a man's waist.
The two haven't gotten together for a long time, and Liang Xiaodao is a prodigal character, so there will naturally be no shortage of various topics along the way.
But the road is too long, the time is too long, and no matter how much the topic is, there will be a time when it will be finished.
Ten days later, the two came to Chen Liucheng, did not go to Qingjiaosi, but found a restaurant at random, and did not care about the size of the faΓ§ade.
After eating a meal, the meal was simple, only the two of them didn't need to be extravagant and wasteful, just order about 20 dishes.
After being full of wine and food, they stayed in Chen Liucheng for one night, and did not visit Chen Luo or Zheng Xiuyuan, and the two rode away from Chen Liucheng as soon as it was dark the next day.
Chinese New Year's Eve has long passed, and the smell of the New Year has dissipated, but fireworks can still be seen occasionally lit up at night in Sijiu City.
The two of them stopped outside Sijiu City for half an hour, and only continued to walk after watching the whole fireworks.
Walking at sunrise and sleeping at sunset, it took more than a month for the two of them to come to the extreme west.
The big black horse has lost a lot of weight, and he looks like a lot of horses.
The Far West was still familiar at first glance, and the dying tree on the side of the road was still standing upright, and on the branches stood a flock of crows, all pitch black, tilting their heads to look at the two of them.
Le Ma stopped, Li Xiu glanced back at the Tang Kingdom, except for a few scattered villages, there was no one else, the extreme west was already barren, and it was close to the Green Sea Demon Spirit, it was not an exaggeration to call it a vicious beast everywhere, and Tang people would die here every year.
As far as the eye can see, I don't know how many dry bones have been buried.
There was a continuous crow cry in his ears, Liang Xiaodao's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a little impatient: "When the trip is imminent, there are crows shouting, it's really unlucky." β
He turned his head to stare at the crows and said in an unkind tone.
The crow represents bad luck in the customs of the Tang Kingdom, and it is a symbol of death, especially if a person who wants to travel far away meets a crow to see him off, it is even more unlucky.
Liang Xiaodao has been accustomed to seeing crows gnawing on carrion in the Northland over the years, so he has a little disgust for this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart.
So he reached out and patted the raccoon's belly.
The fat bear's eyes opened in an instant, staring at him with some anger, and then let out a cry.
The voice was soft, but the crows standing on the tree froze violently, and then fell straight to the ground, only to be dead in an instant.
Liang Xiaodao let out a long breath and smiled with satisfaction.
Li Xiu stretched out his hand and pinched Xiong Fat's face, Xiong Pang snorted at Liang Xiaodao, and turned around to continue to sleep.
But its body trembled suddenly, and then instantly appeared above Li Xiu's head, looking up at the sky.
Li Xiu was slightly stunned, and then raised his head.
A drop of rain just fell, wetting his forehead.
Then a drizzle fell across the sky.
The rain was not heavy, nor dense, and there was not even a dark cloud in the sky, but the whole sky was darkened.
The big dark horse bowed his head.
Liang Xiaodao's face was complicated, the hand holding the reins was tightly forced, and his knuckles were blue and white, then he turned over and dismounted, knelt down in the direction of Chang'an, and made a big salute, with grief in his eyes.
Li Xiu also stood on the ground, his head slightly bowed, his eyes slightly red.
This day is a day that people all over the world will never forget, and countless people of the Tang Kingdom will kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.
In Sijiu City, Chu Zhaonan was sitting at a stall drinking bean juice, a goatee stood beside him holding a fan and kept stirring, today was a great day, the sun was hanging high and it looked very bright, and it was not hot at all.
But now it's raining all of a sudden.
Chu Zhaonan looked at the rain, put down the bean juice in his hand, and was silent for a long time without saying a word, and then drank most of the bowl of bean juice in one gulp, grinning: "Ge Laozi drops." β
......
In the Qingjiao Division, Chen Luo and Hua Baifa stood side by side in the courtyard, looking up at the drizzle falling from the sky.
"This is an end that no one can avoid, and it is also the end that everyone is destined to have. β
Gray hair looked at the rain and said softly.
Chen Luo didn't speak, but raised his right hand and leaned in front of him, and the drizzle fell down through his fingers and fell to the ground, and the entire Qingjiao Division knelt on the ground and bowed to Chang'an City.
The Tang country is very large, the southeast and northwest are different, it rains in the east, and it may be sunny in the west.
The south of the Yangtze River is full of smoke and rain, but the north of the country is full of yellow sand.
But today, there is a drizzle in the entire Tang Kingdom without exception, and even the most inconspicuous corner will be washed by the rain.
In Jincheng, Cui Yasi held a basket of steamed buns in his hand and shook his head and walked towards the Taishou Mansion, this is the steamed bun of the Zhu Hong family, it is a new restaurant in recent days, as the Taishou Lord always has to go to the court, not to mention the money for eating.
The free things are not necessarily very bad, at least in his opinion, the buns of the Zhu Hong family are the best buns in Jincheng, and he thinks about the next meal after eating one meal.
Not only did I finish eating it just now, but I had to take a cage and eat it as I walked.
Halfway through the line, it suddenly rained in the sky, and of course the xiaolongbao had to be eaten while it was hot, and the smell changed when it was stained with rain and the cool breeze.
It's just that Cui Yasi didn't care about this at the moment, his body stopped in the middle of the long street, standing there straight like a lightning strike, the drizzle fell for a moment and wet his clothes, and the bun in his hand had already fallen to the ground and rolled out a long way.
The snow-white dough was dirty with muddy water.
The ground is naturally dirtier, but Cui Yasi didn't realize it, and knelt on the ground with a pop, completely ignoring the wind and rain above his head, he kowtowed hard in the direction of Chang'an, and his forehead touched the ground and shook the green bricks open with several cracks.
The muddy water stained his face, and he trembled slightly, the dignified Jincheng Taishou, the first person in the Tang Dynasty, knelt down in the wind and rain at this moment and sobbed softly.
His shoulders kept shaking, his eyes turned red, and his cry grew louder and louder, and finally he slowly became a howl, not caring at all about the surprised stares of others on the long street.
This rain has sprinkled all over the world, and people all over the world have endless reactions.
Old General Chen and Zi Fei stood side by side on the Xiaonan Bridge, Zi Fei's face was still very pale, and he could see that the backlash caused by his forcible intervention in the Six Realms Heavenly Tribulation was somewhat serious.
At this moment, looking at the rain, the smile that seemed to be on his face forever slowly dissipated.
Old General Chen sighed, as if he was a little envious: "Finally, let you, the old guy, take the first step." β
Everyone's eyes were on Chang'an.
Taiwei and King Wu were in the same hall.
King Wu stood in front of the window and bowed his head slightly.
Qi Qin half-closed his eyes and sighed.
And at this moment, in the National Teacher's Mansion, the entire National Teacher's Mansion is full of black and white costumes.
There was a seat in the main hall, and the candles on both sides were flickering, and the national teacher sat on the chair, slightly bowing his head, and looking serene.
Li Xian knelt in front of him, prostrate on the ground, and wept bitterly.
On this day, the Tang Dynasty National Teacher passed away in the house and returned to heaven.
Heaven sensed it, and it rained for three days across the country, and countless officials and people fell to their knees, as if bidding farewell to this old man who had dedicated his life to this country.
Greetings to the National Teacher,
......
