Volume 1 Retrospective Chapter 3 Retrospective (1)
There are lamps burning inside and outside the hall, and since the time I came to the Changming Palace, I have not seen it extinguished for more than 600 years.
Today, he brings two guests.
Xin Yi stood in front of the door to greet them, only to see Ji Mo walking in front and two guests following behind.
Everyone who came was dressed like a mortal prince and noble. One was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with good facial features and a solemn expression. The other is a young man, in his early twenties. The eyebrows are handsome, the dragon and the phoenix are like a jade tree, and they are as good as the jade tree. The black eyes are full of energy, and they are really youthful and bright. The expression on his face was also softer, not like he was here to do businessβbut like he was here to go on a trip.
Xin Yi secretly said strangely, and his face still had a calm and calm expression that had not changed for thousands of years. She said:
The two guests rested in the hall for a while, and the king will come in a moment. β
The middle-aged man hurriedly said respectfully: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, and let the Divine Monarch be busy first, we will have nothing to do, and it is also a blessing for us to be able to wait in the temple." β
Xin Yi was very satisfied with his attitude, and left after bowing his head.
The young man's attitude towards him showed a look of disdain, and he snorted coldly in front of Ji Mo, but did not look at him.
The middle-aged man immediately reprimanded the young man:
"Presumptuous! I don't look at what kind of place this is, how can you be allowed to act recklessly!
The young man smiled, half clear and half ridiculed.
Seeing this, he didn't have any other expression, but said: "Don't make noise in the Changming Palace." β
The middle-aged man was immediately silenced.
"Come with me, both of you. Qi Mo led the two of them to a temple.
The three big characters of "Gleaning Palace" written in ancient style on the plaque are solemn and eye-catching.
The Changming Hall is the collective name of the entire Cloud Palace. There are more than 100 palaces of all sizes distributed inside, and the Gleaning Hall is one of them.
The pitch-black temple door is plated with gold, and the darker gold is carved with the gluttony and chaos of ancient beasts. On both sides of the door, the words "make you circulate, the heart is to blame" and "the bitter sea is endless, and the back is the shore", and the young man's eyes stayed on the words for a moment and then walked into the hall indifferently. The middle-aged man stopped for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Mo has always been silent, but today he has one more sentence. Without him, I just felt that the man was rubbing. could have reprimanded or urged, but he was born with a humble temperament, and he really couldn't be such a rude and reckless person.
"Oh......" The man came back to his senses, looked at Ji Mo, paused for a moment, collected all his expressions, and said, "Dare to ask Xianjun, the four fierce beasts, I don't know why these two eagles were chosen?"
"Gluttony has an infinite appetite, and can even devour itself, for the sake of infinite desire. Chaos has eyes that can't see, ears that can't hear clearly, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. The previous generation of gods believed that these two were the root of all evil, and even more so than all evil. Therefore, it is engraved to warn future generations. He said silently. But he knew in his heart that the man was not looking at the beast, but at those words.
The "evil ......" man thought for a while, said no more, and entered the temple.
Ji Mo took out the booklet in his arms, picked up the pen and wrote: "On the seventh day of the first month, the people of the mortal world are here. Zhao Su, the king of Yong'an of the Great Liang Dynasty, and his third son, Zhao Yuanxi. β
Mortals come here to ask for nothing more than life and death. I heard the king say a long time ago that everything in the world, except for life and death, is an idle matter, and I think so.
It's just that I don't know what this prince in the high gate wants, so that he drags his family with him. Although he didn't know, he was not so curious. For hundreds of years, I've seen everything, and it's just an ordinary thing.
Zhao traced into the relics hall, but did not see the expected scene, but was in a darkness, and lost all five senses. He felt a panic for no apparent reason.
"Yuan Xi! Yuan Xi, where are you?!" Zhao Su urgently shouted Zhao Yuanxi's name, but no one answered.
A dazzling white light suddenly burst out in front of him, Zhao Su stretched out his hand to block it, but it melted into the white light.
Zhao Su saw him when he was young.
It was a lively street market, and Zhao Su, who was the prince of Yong'an, was angry and high-spirited. At that time, he followed his father back from the field, captured five cities in a row, and forced the enemy country to sign a contract that he would not commit for 50 years.
He marched through the streets with his father, King Yong'an, with a procession of chariots and horses, which was also the favor of the Son of Heaven, so that the people of the Imperial City of Daliang could see the demeanor of the iron-blooded war king and the heroic boy.
It is said that after the people of the mortal world are lifted to the branch, they will have the joy and scenery of "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day", and although Zhao Su is a military general, he also has this state of mind.
But on that day, he understood that the glorious pet and spring breeze in this life were far less than the moment he met Shen Yanshu, and he glanced at it for ten thousand years.
At this time, Zhao Su didn't know if he was a spectator watching himself decades ago, or he was paraded on a horse. In short, in this world of fantasy and reality, he knew that he would see her again. He's going to see her soon.
The procession was blocked by the crowd in front. The streets were flooded and overcrowded.
"What's going on, what's going on?" asked King Yong'an.
"I'll take a look. Zhao Su said and dismounted and walked to the front.
I saw a young woman in blue and green clothes pointing at a young man, with seven points of anger on her face, three points of domineering, and her appearance was not majestic. Take a closer look at the woman's eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a beautiful woman with a plump appearance.
Forty-five-year-old Zhao Su looked at Shen Yanshu, who still looked good, and felt that he didn't know him even if he met.
"Yan Shu ......" he called softly, but no one answered. He reached out to touch her face, but passed through her body.
No one here could see this middle-aged Zhao Su, and he couldn't touch anyone.
Shen Yanshu curled up behind a pitiful woman, crying and saying "Please ask the woman to be the master of the slave family", coupled with the discussion of the onlookers next to her, the whole incident was clear at a glance.
"Don't worry, if you dare to rob the people's daughter, I think he wants to eat in prison. It is most appropriate to send it to the government. Shen Yan said righteously.
"Send the official?" the boy who was pointed at the sword sneered, "Do you know who this son is?"
The onlookers all discussed:
"The son of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department, who doesn't know anyone in the capital. β
"But isn't it, his father is an official, and officials protect each other, how can he send his son to prison because of trivial matters?"
"It's just ......"
Shen Yanshu frowned when she heard this, "The son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department," she paused, and smiled sly, "Since you can't send the official, it's good to beat you up for a long memory!"
Without waiting for the boy to react, his fists and kicks were greeted in his face. Childe had never practiced martial arts, so he couldn't parry this punch and kick at all.
"Ah...... You shrew...... Help me...... Someone's coming...... Shrew...... Daddy...... Help me......"
The son was beaten so that his nose and face were swollen, and he spoke incoherently, and the people applauded.
The young Zhao Su was attracted by Shen Yanshu's heroic temperament, he saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't think her behavior was rude and pungent, but thought she was chivalrous, brave and fearless, and even her actions were a little ...... Lovely. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and his heart was held by something.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, it was me who beat you today Shen Yanshu, if you are not convinced, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me. When the time comes, see who is justified!" Shen Yan said.
Everyone sighed that it was no wonder that this woman was so bold and wanton, it turned out to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But people still admire this woman's chivalrous heart of drawing a sword to help when she sees injustice, after all, there are so many noble women in this imperial city, but there are a few who are as brave and benevolent as Shen Yanshu.
Yes, there are thousands of women in the world, but there is only one Shen Yanshu. Even if I found so many similarities, it was not her. This one person alone has made Zhao Su persistent for more than 20 years and tried his best to keep her. But in the end, he responded to the sentence "The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and Zhu Yan is a rhetorical tree". The middle-aged Zhao Su thought about it and couldn't help but feel sad.
In a trance, the scene in front of me changed again.
At this time, he was in the palace.
The singing and dancing water sleeves are like clouds, and the sheng flute orchestra is endless. The young emperor held a celebration banquet to celebrate the great exploits of Zhao Su's father and son.
"Uncle Huang and Congzhi have made great contributions to my Great Liang, I don't know what reward I want?" Emperor Zhao Yi asked.
Zhao traced the words from it, and the difference between him and Emperor Zhao Yi was less than two years old.
King Yong'an stood up and said respectfully: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. The soldiers who lead the soil are none other than the king's ministers. This is the duty of the last general, and he does not dare to ask for a reward. β
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "What do you want from it?"
Zhao Su was about to say "no", but Zhao Yi preemptively spoke: "Don't tell me that you don't want anything." If all of my courtiers have no desires or desires, then what else can I rely on to command them?"
Zhao Su nodded and said, "The younger brother fell in love with a woman in the capital at first sight, and wanted the emperor to be a matchmaker and help the younger brother ask to marry the woman." β
"Oh?" Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and quipped: "I don't know whose woman is so blessed that she can enter the eyes of Congzhi." His vision has always been the most discerning. β
"It's the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Yanshu. Zhao said.
Where everyone didn't notice, Zhao Yi secretly clenched his wine glass.
......
The scene suddenly changes again.
For a while, gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers rang out. The entire Yongan Street is lit up with lights, and there are crowds of people.
The young Zhao Su's face was hard to hide his joy. Today he finally got what he wanted.
The sedan chair fell, and the bride got off the sedan chair. After worshipping heaven and earth, he was sent to the cave room.
"Wow......" is the baby's first cry.
Zhao Su and Shen Yanshu's first child was born.
"Ahem cough ......" Shen Yanshu on the bed was already yellow and thin, like a withered tree.
"Yan Shu, Yan Shu...... You believe me, I will definitely find the best famous doctor in the world to treat you, Yan Shu ......" Zhao Su held Shen Yanshu's hand tightly, his eyes were red, and his voice seemed to be choked.
Shen Yanshu didn't care, and there was even a sense of relief in her expression. With the last of her strength, she said:
"No need...... Take care of that kid for me......"
When he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
"Yan Shu, Yan Shu...... No, don't leave me......"
