Chapter 5 The first acquaintance with flowers by the stream
[Old dreams turn into clouds, pavilions understand the language]
Interpreting the old dream of flowers
- Blowing the breeze
The building is foggy, the shore water is tinkling, and the smoke and rain wake up several times.
Draw a jade pillar on the screen. Leaving Caifeng, several times escaped from the old city.
Lonely shadow lamp. To the green lamp, drink all the pain.
It's hard to get out of the pavilion, no makeup and no mirror.
I used to listen to the wind on the flowers. Dance butterflies according to clothes, and return to the mood.
The golden cup wine is strong. Hide your fright and get drunk to see a pool of hibiscus.
Imperial Unification. In the rivers and lakes, there is no trace.
The most affectionate, Xiaoye Tianxiang, go with me with you.
————
Lin'an City is located in the north of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with a vast area, warm as spring in all seasons, and the weather is rainy and cloudy.
A winding river passes through the city in the city, and the river water is clear and turquoise, so it is named 'Bibo River'.
A wide avenue along the river, running through the east and west, the buildings beside the road are numerous, and all kinds of figures come in and out, showing a prosperous scene.
It was early spring, the willows on the riverside were swaying, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the talented and beautiful women stopped on the shore to chant poems against each other, so uncomfortable.
In the early morning, the downtown of Lin'an City is bustling with people, the sound of selling comes and goes, and the pedestrians come and go in an endless stream.
At this moment, Yun Xuan stood quietly under a big willow tree by the river, letting the breeze blow his cheeks and blow a head of white hair.
A few young girls in the distance pointed at Ye Xuan, as if they were saying something.
As if to mention the shyness, one of the good-looking girls suddenly turned red and gently slapped her companion a few times.
Several girls suddenly burst into laughter, which caused frequent sideways glances from the young men passing by.
Ergazi sat on the ground with a burden on his back, holding an iron sword in his arms, and eating a cage of meat buns he had just bought.
From time to time, he noticed that the eyes of several girls swept over him, so he turned red, quickly lowered his head, and ate the bun in a big gulp.
Soon, I saw a few young men dressed as sons and brothers come forward to answer, and the girls scattered in a hurry and ran into an attic behind them.
The attic stands against the mountain, facing the river in the south, which is quite impressive.
Seeing this, a group of boys and buddies did not give up, and hurriedly followed.
The building is divided into three floors, carved beams and painted columns, hidden birds and flowers, string music comes from the building.
A towering tree rises high from the building, its huge branches running horizontally, and its dense canopy obscures most of the sky above.
In the middle of the door of the building hangs a plaque inlaid with gold edges, holding the gold characters, and there are three majestic characters of "Yanyu Building".
Today is April 16th.
It was the day of the feast.
The river flows slowly, and a row of large and small ships are parked in the distant port, ushering in an endless stream.
Yun Xuan looked at all this in front of him in a daze, but his heart was no longer as dull as before.
Cangshan has skills, the name of the Heavenly Dao Sword Codex, according to legend, it was left by the Master of Kurong, and he hated the family for the revenge of the country, and he went to Taicang Mountain alone since he was a child.
In the first ten years, he successively practiced cloud dispelling, maze, skimming the sky, swimming dragons, and shocking Hong.
For another ten years, only one type of spring thunder will be practiced day and night.
On the day of practice, as soon as the spring thunder came out, the stubborn stone was powdered.
I wanted to learn to go down the mountain, but I listened to the sword slave who said,
"The spring thunder rises, the heavens and the earth move, and all things are born. ”
"The meaning of spring thunder is to end the past and start a new life. ”
"In the past twenty years, you have been born out of hatred, overhauling ruthless swordsmanship, and Chunlei has only practiced the surface in the end. ”
"If you want to practice to Dacheng to change the dynasty, you still need to sharpen a sword and defend a sword. ”
"What is a sword?"
"The sword is sheathed, and it is practiced with the heart. ”
The Sword Slave said slowly.
"To the north of Cangshan, there is a vicious Jiao, which can be killed and taken as a sheath. ”
"On the top of Cangshan, you can get a few cold irons. ”
"To the east of Cangshan, there is a natural fire furnace and a cold spring. ”
"When will it be completed?"
"Soon, soon, ......"
The sword slave faded away, leaving only an old back.
At the end of ten years, the spring thunder sword was formed, and on the day the sword was formed, the sword slave passed away.
Tearful farewell to the funeral, since then day and night to guard the sword.
From summer to cold, this guard is fifty years.
The beard and hair are all white, and they will eventually go down the mountain.
Along the way, the lights are bright, the market is not closed at night, and it is a peaceful scene.
After three years of traveling all over China, he finally came to the imperial capital.
Facing the man who ruined his country and his family, hatred surged in his heart, but the spring thunder in his palm was not unsheathed.
Since then, he has lost his soul and has been accompanied by wine every day.
After another year, I returned to Taicang Mountain again.
Facing the tombstone of the sword slave, he poured a jar of liquor on his head.
"Master, I'm ...... Seems to understand. ”
On the top of Cangshan Mountain, ice and snow are flying.
"Spring Thunder!"
A thunderbolt fell from the sky, and Yun Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth.
......
When I woke up again, I was in a ruined temple.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a figure shaking in front of him, but he couldn't see it clearly.
For a while, this man seemed to be sprinkling something on himself.
The wound is stinging even more!
After some time, the figure reappeared, as if dressed for himself and holding himself to drink.
Gradually, I felt a little better.
When he opened his eyes slightly, he saw a black-clothed swordsman slashing at a young man's head.
didn't have time to think about it, and with a finger, the little bit of Xuan power that had just recovered turned into a trace of sword qi and hit the back of the swordsman's head.
Then he passed out again.
When I woke up again, the boy who called Ergazi wanted to worship himself as a teacher, and what he had practiced all these years was for hatred, and finally he realized that he could let him follow my old path again?
Besides, he couldn't learn his own exercises.
It is enough to simply pass on him a one-and-a-half move, so that he can have the power of self-preservation.
The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the greater the ability, the more rights and wrongs.
In the past month, no less than a dozen waves of people have come one after another, all for the spring thunder in their hands.
I was not polite, and sent them back to the west one by one.
The young man's master reminded him of the sword slave.
Although he has never called himself an apprentice, in his heart, he has long been his master.
......
The breeze came slowly, blowing a gray hair.
This is not my world.
These days, he gradually learned about his surroundings, and Yun Xuan was finally determined.
Standing silently by the calm river, the waves were already surging in my mind.
"The spring thunder rises, the heavens and the earth move, and all things are born. ”
Yun Xuan muttered in his mouth, and his eyes regained their brightness again.
"The meaning of spring thunder is to end the past and start a new life. ”
"Click!"
Yun Xuan's wrist flipped suddenly, the wooden sheath exploded, and the spring thunder sword pointed diagonally at the blue sky.
"Sheathed!"
With a soft drink, the blue-black sword body of Spring Thunder trembled, and a sword roar was released.
This action startled Ergazi, who had just finished eating buns on the side.
After a while, only a dragon roar was heard a few miles away, and a dragon soared into the air.
Then it turned into a burst of black light and went straight to the spring thunder.
I only heard the sound of "Cangchang", the long sword was put into the sheath, Yun Xuan Xinran put the long sword behind his back, and still looked at the river quietly.
It's just that in a gesture, there is no longer half of the previous twilight atmosphere.
"Teacher......"
Ergazi wanted to say something, but he was stuck in his throat.
I was stunned for a while, and after I reacted, I bowed my head and bowed.
"The gods are above, I, I, I kowtow to the gods. ”
The men, women and children nearby who saw this scene were all shocked, and many of them knelt down and kowtowed, and the scene was a little funny for a while.
Yun Xuan looked around, and saw that several waves of "tails" that had been following him all day long had slipped away, but he didn't care.
"Bang Bang!"
At that moment, a round of applause came.
"Gongzi is extraordinary, and the slave family is merciful, this is polite. ”
Shi Shiran, who came, gave Ye Xuan a blessing, and when he saw Yun Xuan looking at him, two blush suddenly appeared on his cheeks, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said:
"Your Excellency arrived at the appointment on time, my playboy has prepared a banquet, and I also asked my son to move with the slave family. ”
Yun Xuan turned his eyes to look, and saw that the person who came was a young girl, with a delicate and lovely appearance, with a slight leakage of fragrant shoulders, snow skin and cream, and a white gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, quite a bit of fairy.
looked at the increasing number of onlookers around, and knew that this place was not suitable for a long time.
"No need to be polite, please lead the way in front of the girl's head. ”
Yun Xuan smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and then looked at Ergazi who was at a loss for what to do, and said:
"Walking the rivers and lakes, how can you not have a name, in the future, you will be called Ye Yun, and count me as half a disciple. ”
Ergazi only felt that he was hit by a big surprise, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't make any sound in his mouth, so he could only kowtow on the ground.
Seeing this, Yun Xuan picked up Ergazi with one hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Keep up. ”
A group of three people entered the Yanyu Building in turn, and the onlookers talked about it, and there were more good people who encouraged the people and made up mythical stories, which for a time actually attracted the joy of everyone in Lin'an City, and added a lot of incense to the nearby Dragon King Temple.
At the same time, the news that the immortals had entered the Yanyu Building spread far and wide, and many men, women and children entered the building one after another, just to get a touch of the fairy spirit, but it made the business of the Yanyu Building more prosperous.
Yun Xuan entered the building and saw that the first floor was full of diners, and the smell of vegetables was fragrant, which made people have a great appetite.
There are also golden boys and girls who add food and send wine back and forth, which makes Ergazi, who has not seen much of the world, surprised.
Looking back through the screen window, you can faintly see a number of pavilion towers, as well as a huge tree trunk surrounded by several people.
I only heard Lian Xiang'er say:
"So that the son knows, the first floor of Yanyu Building is famous for its blue waves and nine-striped fish, donkey soup tiger bone soup, and three dishes of eighteen banquets, and the second floor is the unique Tianxiang small leaf tea of Yanyu Building, as for the third floor, ......"
Lian Xiang'er's eyes turned, and she sold a pass before saying:
"It's our beauty here. ”
"Don't hide it from the child, there are few people who really come to Yanyulou to really eat and taste tea, in fact, they all come for their name. ”
Lian Xiang'er then led the two into a private room called 'Drunken Immortal Residence', only to see that a sumptuous banquet was being placed inside, and the fragrance hit, and Er Gazi swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva when he saw it.
"This 'Ye Yun' little brother, this is specially prepared for you by my son-in-law, please use it slowly~"
Lian Xiang'er smiled at the corner of her mouth and said to Ergazi with a slanderous face.
"What...... What, really?, give ...... I...... Prepared?"
"Yes, this is my son-in-law's order, please enjoy it with confidence. ”
After arranging Ergazi, Lian Xiang'er took Yun Xuan straight through the first floor and into the courtyard.
Yanyulou is a huge back-to-the-word building, with a huge open space in the center, rockery fountains, and strange flowers all over.
A giant tree stands in the center, covering the sky and the sun.
This tree is so big!
A look of admiration flashed in Yun Xuan's eyes.
"This is the Tianxiang tree, our Yanyulou's prestigious Tianxiang tea is from this, the entire Southern Tang Kingdom, this is the only one. ”
Seeing Yun Xuan's admiration, Lian Xiang'er hurriedly introduced.
"It is only in the early spring of each year that the new sprouts are picked. Don't look at the tree so big, it's quite laborious to pick. ”
Lian Xiang'er spread her hands, and her bright eyes looked at Ye Xuan, which was even brighter.
There are occasional pavilions under the trees, on which men and women occasionally drink tea and have fun, and the comfort is infinite.
The two of them continued on their way, crossing the central path and entering the back floor.
Entering the building, Lian Xiang'er took Yun Xuan and continued to walk backwards, and after passing through a delicate moon arch, she saw only a green hill in her eyes.
But it was already out of the Yanyu Building and arrived at the back of the Yanyu Building.
This is Tianxiang Mountain, and the Tianxiang tree is also named after it. ”
"Childe, please come with me. ”
Lian Xiang'er smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please.
With walking, gradually hear the sound of gurgling streams, at first such as the sound of the empty valley, and then like the pearl plate jade falling, to be able to travel, then see a mountain stream appear in front of you, four arch bridges on the side of the stream are located one after another, behind the arch bridge, is a number of pavilions and pavilions built near the river, which are separated by hundreds of meters, there are paths to connect through.
Surrounded by green smoke and crisp birdsong, it is completely different from the noise of the smoke and rain building in front, like a fairyland.
Each arch bridge head stands a stone, carved in turn: water moon small residence, cloud dream small building, Tianxiang small pavilion, quiet bamboo small building four elegant and agile big characters.
Lian Xiang'er led Ye Xuan to the Tianxiang Pavilion, and said crisply:
"My son-in-law is waiting inside, please go by yourself, and the slave family will retire. ”
After saying that, he turned around and retreated.
Tianxiang small pavilion is divided into two floors, under the arch bridge, you can see that there is a wooden bridge connected, there is a pavilion on the side of the attic on the side of the stream, there is a meal in the pavilion at the moment.
Yun Xuan looked intently and saw a person sitting upright on the side.
I think it should be the "childe" in Lian Xianger's mouth.
When he got closer, Yun Xuanshan looked at it and saw that this person was wearing a white robe and a slightly thin figure.
The hair is in a high bun, with a silver crown on it, and black hair that shines in the sun.
Take a closer look at this person's appearance, but see a melon seed face, a nose like a gall, and a mouth like a peach cherry.
A pair of Danfeng bright eyes, looking forward to it, heroic and cool, but it is a rare boy and girl.
Yun Xuan secretly praised in his heart, if this person is a woman, he must be a figure who can bring disaster to the country and the people.
Hua Jieyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also looked at Yun Xuan who was gradually approaching.
I saw him dressed in a plain gray cloth robe, carrying a long sword, his white hair was tied up at will, his face was very handsome, and his eyes seemed to be hidden in it, and he seemed to have experienced vicissitudes of life, which made people unconsciously indulge in it.
Look at its elegant steps, such as walking among the clouds, but it has its own spirit of not moving like a mountain.
Hua Xie Yu was amazed in his heart, got up and hugged his fists and smiled:
"I don't know your Excellency's name, in the next flower explanation, for the owner of this rainy building, today specially prepared some coarse tea and light rice, please come to a gathering, disrespectful, please bear with me. ”
His voice is gentle and delicate, and he is undoubtedly a man.
"My name is Yun Xuan, and you don't have to be polite. ”
Yun Xuan returned the salute, and sat on the stone bench next to the pavilion banquet in response to the gesture of Hua Jieyu.
Seeing Yun Xuan taking his seat, Hua Xie Yu also sat down on the stone bench, raised his hand, poured a glass of wine for Ye Xuan, and poured himself full, then said:
"On March 24, Xiao Moran, the lord of Lin'an City, celebrated his 80th birthday, and many people from the north and south came to congratulate him on his birthday. I also went that day, and it is worth mentioning that Yan 13 of the Underground Pavilion gave him a scabbard. ”
"Xiao Moran?"
Yun Xuan looked at Hua Jieyu, who was raising his wine glass.
Hua Jieyu glanced at the long sword that Ye Xuan was carrying, drank the wine in his hand, and filled it again, before continuing:
"Yes, Xiao Moran is a famous swordsman who became famous forty years ago, and he is invincible in the night rain of Xiaoxiang with one hand. ”
"This person has a hobby in his life, which is to collect the world's divine swords, and all I know is the heavenly abyss, sentence breaking, fighting, evil punishment, and cold light. ”
"Of the twelve divine swords in the world, he alone occupies five of them. ”
Yun Xuan gently took a sip of the sake in the cup, only to feel that the sweetness entered his throat, and then turned into a warm stream, refreshing people's hearts, but it was a rare good wine.
Hua Jieyu took a drink of wine in the glass again and said:
"The nine nights of wind and clouds rise from the ground, and there is a cold light outside the north sky. ”
According to legend, the cold light sword is Li Qinglian's personal sword in the Northern Tang Dynasty, when he was one person and one sword, guarding the empty city alone, a sword cold light came from the east, and three thousand armor soldiers bent their waists, so not majestic. ”
"It's a pity that the cold light scabbard has long been lost, and after Xiao Moran got this sword, he has been trying to create a suitable scabbard, and after several failures, he still does not give up. ”
On the day of the birthday banquet, Xiao Moran was so excited that after Xiao Moran took Yan Shisan's scabbard, he took out the cold light on the spot and put it into the scabbard. Unexpectedly, the scabbard suddenly thundered, and then, I saw the cold light sword suddenly unsheath on its own, and after a mournful roar, it was directly shattered into nine sections!"
Hua Xie Yu poured himself a drink and drank three cups in a row.
"Hehe, the spring thunder in the sheath is rolling, how can an ordinary sword weapon withstand it. ”
Yun Xuan smiled slightly, only to hear Hua Xie and continued:
The birthday feast ended unhappily, but everyone at the feast that day was looking for the owner of the scabbard. ”
"I guess a lot of people are making trouble with you these days, right?"
Hua Jieyu suddenly stopped the movements in his hand and quietly stared at Yun Xuan.
Yun Xuan nodded slightly, and the words of the flower explanation were not much different from the conjecture in his heart.
"It's not a trouble, it's just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals. ”
"That's right, with Yun Gongzi's skills, I'm afraid that there are few people in this world who can get into your eyes, right?"
Hua Jieyu stretched out her white hands and filled Yun Xuan's wine glass again.
Yun Xuan's eyes fluttered, as if he remembered the sad past, and said softly:
"Yun is just a scattered person in the mountains, and he barely knows some martial arts that are not in the stream, and he doesn't want to be heard in the world, so he can get a place to settle down, it's enough. ”
For a while, the two looked at each other speechlessly.
Hua Jieyu is even more drinking.
"I wonder what Yun Gongzi plans to do next?"
After a long time, Hua Xie Yu asked.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly saw Yun Xuan's previous few words, laughed a few times, and said loudly:
"Next, I plan to find a few acres of fertile land, beg for a beautiful daughter-in-law, have a few more babies, and enjoy the joy of that day. ”
"Forehead ......"
Hua Jieyu's face was slightly red, but she didn't know if she had drunk too much, or if she was a little upset when she heard the words of 'begging for a beautiful daughter-in-law'.
"I didn't expect Brother Yun's ambition to be here. ”
Hua Jieyu also grinned, half-jokingly:
"Why don't I come to give you good land, and then find you a beautiful daughter-in-law, and you can stay in my Yanyu Building, how about it?"
Hua Jieyu's eyes flowed, with a hint of banter in his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation.
Yun Xuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Hua Jieyu to say this.
"You confess, I'm afraid you've been thinking about me for a long time. ”
Yun Xuan raised his glass and took another sip, his heart was relieved, and he said helplessly.
"You're a treasure now, the difference is that people are worried about your sword, while I'm worried about your people. ”
Yun Xuan was stunned, for some reason, he always felt weird when he heard the sentence "people who are worried about you".
Thinking about it, I just arrived, it would be good to have a place to stay, and this "flower brother" was still eye-catching, so I simply stayed, and it was a place to go.
"Good. ”
Yun Xuan responded.
Hua Xie Yu was also slightly stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Yun Xuan to agree like this, but she let her preparations fall through, and hurriedly raised her wine glass.
"Okay, I'll prepare a good field beauty for Brother Yun!"
After some conversation, Hua Jieyu had already drunk more than a dozen glasses in a row, drunk and slightly drunk, and his words and deeds were quite graceful.
Yun Xuan was full of emotion in his heart, the world is so big, there are no surprises, looking at his behavior like this, he really looks like a girl.
"You don't have to be a beautiful woman, just eat it, just control it. ”
The corners of Hua Jieyu's mouth rose, and he smiled toothily.
"Deal!"
The two cups touched lightly, and the two of them both raised their glasses and drank them all.
