Volume 1 Epilogue

Above the hall, the red candle is bright at night, like never sleeping.

Silk and bamboo played, drums sounded in unison, accompanied by the sound of long strings, twelve delicate dancing girls danced, with graceful waists, exquisite figures, skirts tumbling like twelve fluttering butterflies, full of vivid colors, but in the eyes of everyone, such delicate and beautiful dancing girls are just foils, just like the stars holding the moon will be as beautiful as a peony peerless beauty in the center.

Among them, the woman is really like the bright moon hanging in the air, which makes the surrounding dancing girls lose their color, but when she is dressed in a hollow gold silk crimson palace dress, stepping on satin gauze brocade flower shoes, a black hair combed into a flying moon bun, and a bright and swaying silver phoenix bead hairpin is inserted obliquely.

The women's long-sleeved man dance, showing a bewitching posture, the eye waves seem to be affectionate, the pink lips are lightly pursed with a lazy and charming smile, but from the body bones exude a kind of noble and dignified that cannot be violated, which makes people can't afford to have a blasphemous heart, forming a unique temperament that can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

At this time, the music changed from melodious to high-pitched, the woman stretched her jade arms, moved the lotus steps, stepped on the beat and swirled her body, and the red skirt drummed with the fragrant wind fluttering, like a peony slowly blooming, highlighting the warmth and intensity of life. The string stopped abruptly at the highest place, leaving only the lingering sound, but the beautiful and moving posture was imprinted in everyone's heart

"Okay!" After the silence, a beat of admiration, woke up the fascinated people, the voice is the owner of this place, "I have heard Ji Xiang's main dance skills for a long time, Hu is looking forward to it day and night, I want to see it, I saw it today, but I regret it, I am afraid that after today, other dances in the world are not worth seeing." ”

The master looks like a young man, although his appearance is Zhou Zheng, his face is dark, with a bit of excessive wine, and what is even more strange is that he was born with two white eyebrows like frost and snow, which added a little more decline. On both sides of the hall, there is a gilded moire copper furnace, and the charcoal in the furnace is red, so although it is a cold winter, the hall is as warm as a spring day, and the tip of the nose of the dancing girl of the light gauze Manro has beads of sweat oozing, and this son is still afraid of the cold and wraps a coat tightly.

"The second son made fun of it, Yaoyu is just a rough dance music, and she is far from being able to call everyone, let alone the best in the world, not to mention, just say that the seven girls of your family are also famous for their piano songs and dances, compared to her, Yaoyu is just the light of the candle. It's a good thing that the seventh girl is not here today, otherwise I would never dare to show ugliness in front of her. The woman bowed lightly and replied softly, her voice soft but not greasy, as melodious as a song.

The boy smiled bitterly: "Lord Ji Xiang is too humble, and the seventh sister of my family is famous...... Although prosperous. But it's not famous for singing and dancing, a bunch of boring people give her a few high hats to wear, if she believes it, that's just laughing and generous. ”

"Heh, isn't the second prince blaming Yaoyu for raising it like this, if Yaoyu is really tired that the second son has no intention of singing and dancing from now on, wouldn't there be one less general in the fat powder pile, and one less heroic in the light tent?"

"In that case, I will give the incense lord an idea. Childe swept the twelve women who accompanied the dancer and said: "My girls usually make me spoiled, I only know how to be lazy all day long, but the skills of singing and dancing are ordinary, it is rare for them to have this opportunity, if the incense master takes them to dance a few more songs, but as long as they can learn one ten-thousandth of the incense master, it is enough for me to talk about the loneliness of the second half of my life." ”

The woman said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the second son still doesn't understand Yaoyu's hard work, and wants to trick Yaoyu into dancing for you again, it's just that, it's rare for the son to appreciate, today Yaoyu is tired and breaks her legs, and she has to dance until the son has fun."

When the musician heard this, he played new music, and the woman was about to dance, when a cry of sorrow came from outside the hall, disrupting the rhythm of the music.

"Second son, it's not good, the second master and the third son...... They...... They all died in Shu. With a cry of sorrow, an old servant also staggered into the hall and fell to his knees.

As soon as the words came out, the dancing maids in the hall were all moved, and there was an uproar for a while, and there were even people who cried on the spot, but the prince and Ji Yaoyu had the same faces as usual, as if they had not heard it.

Gongzi frowned and scolded lightly: "Steward Li, you have been in my Qingqiu Hu family for fifty years, and you are still so indiscriminate in how you do things, which disturbs my distinguished guests!"

Steward Li's eyes widened and cloudy, full of disbelief, but there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and he didn't dare to contradict it, and said in a snort: "But...... Such a big thing ......"

Hu Ergongzi ignored him completely, raised his glass to the woman in white and said: "Master Ji Xiang, the next person is not sensible, let the Lord of Xiang laugh, Hu punished himself for this cup, and hoped that the Lord of Xiang would continue." ”

Ji Yaoyu nodded slightly, then turned to the dancing women who were weeping and said, "The state of the dancer's heart, if you sisters are not in the mood, you can step back first, and I can dance alone." ”

Childe also said: "In this case, the musician can also be saved, and I will accompany the incense master alone." ”

Anyway, Gongzi lifted a jar of wine, opened four bowls in a row on the case, Gongzi patted the mud seal of the wine jar, the aroma of wine overflowed, poured the wine pulp into four bowls of different shades, and then raised the chopsticks to knock, the bamboo chopsticks flew over, fell on the four bowls and an altar, and actually played the five tones of the palace merchant horn and feathers, the music was clear and flying, if the bells and drums rang in unison.

The woman also tied her skirt around her waist, revealing her slender legs, and danced with it. The eyebrows were swept away, and the willow eyebrows were sharp and heroic, and the long water sleeves were made by her like a whip and a sword, both rigid and soft, forming a brocade of flowers.

Ji Yaoyu lightly opened her lips and sang: "Take Qi Ji Xi with jade pulp, swim all over the world to seek the spirit phoenix." The auxiliary king is determined by the eight wildernesses, and the beauties are in the river...... "Her voice is like a broken bead splashing jade, impeccable, and she has a sense of pride."

Suddenly, the son's style changed, turned into a tactful and sad feeling, and the bamboo chopsticks fell like rain hitting the green steps, which was indescribably poignant. Ji Yaoyu's water sleeves also turned dignified and far-reaching, hidden and contemplative, and the splendid flower clusters condensed by the water sleeves seemed to be unable to withstand the rain and frost, and she whispered in her mouth: "The autumn wind is withering and the fragrance is withering, and the ambition is not rewarded." Hate the sun and the moon and don't time, and hang the deceased. The quiet and tactful voice, in the ethereal, but also revealed a faint sense of sadness, even the kneeling Steward Li was also fascinated by it, obsessively watching the woman in white dance, unconsciously it was old tears.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingered, Ji Yaoyu took her body away, and gave a light salute, Hu Ergongzi closed his eyes and reminisced about it again and again, before he sighed and said: "What Hu said, I saw Ji Xiang's main dance, I am afraid that I will regret it, let Hu take back this sentence, I can watch the main dance of Xiang, Hu has no regrets in this life, only this dance, I should drink three white whites." After that, he raised a bowl of booze and drank all three bowls of wine on the table.

Ji Yaoyu bowed and said: "The matter of singing and dancing is just an entertaining way, not worth mentioning." Childe should still have important matters, so Yaoyu will not bother. After a salute, Ying Ying left.

Hu Ergongzi picked up the fourth bowl of wine, but did not drink it, but played with it in his palm, the swaying wine was like a deep pool, reflecting the calm face of the white-eyed boy, but seeing him said quietly: "The voice and beauty are beautiful, and the axe of cutting is the most consuming heroic bones." If you can enjoy this life, why not be a boneless person?"

"It's a pity!" Hu Ergongzi got up and poured a full cup of elixir to the ground, as if he was sacrificing the souls of the dead in the distance, and as if he was paying tribute to the absurd years that could not be returned.

"Steward Lee. Childe called softly, and Steward Li looked up, and the person in front of him was long and jade, and his posture was majestic. The two white eyebrows are no longer a sign of decline, but seem to have precipitated the wisdom of endless years.

"Inform me that Hu Li, the new twenty-second generation head of the Qingqiu Hu family, asks to see the Northern Dragon King!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As the saying goes, "If you don't enter Sichuan, you won't get out of Shu." "The country of abundance is far away from the political center, and there is no danger of war in a hundred years, good mountains and rivers, beautiful women are like clouds, the whole Shu County is like Bitan Mirror Lake, calm without waves, it is indeed a good place to spend time and live a life, but half a month ago, there was a small stone thrown into this calm lake, stirring up a trace of waves, and it is still rippling.

Half a month ago, Yang Xuanyan, the Sihu of Shuzhong, was imprisoned for some trivial matters that were not clear, but he didn't want Yang Xuanyan to be weak and weak, so he stayed in prison all night, and before he was tried, he died with a whimper, leaving only a weak orphan girl who had not had time to clear his stigma.

Although Yang Xuanyan is just a local official, he is from the Hongnong Yang family, and his grandfather Yang Wang is a former pillar country. I think that Hongnong Yang family has been "four generations and three dukes" since the two Han Dynasty, and it has been a famous family for generations. Even the emperor of the previous dynasty had clinged to the bloodline of the Hongnong Yang family, but he didn't want the dynasty to replace the change, the king was overpowered, and the "relatives of the Son of Heaven" of the previous dynasty are now dead in prison, becoming the talking point in the mouth of the people of Shengdou, how not to make people sigh.

If this matter is a small turmoil, there is another matter, which can be regarded as enough to set off a big storm, but this matter, ordinary people have no way of knowing.

It was also half a month ago, the number one think tank under the Beilong Heavenly Throne, one of the three demon worlds, the blue-eyed evil fox Hu Bugui sneaked into Shu in person, intending to incite the Shu demon clan, conclude a demon alliance, and jointly deal with the peacock son Gongzi Ling, but unexpectedly, the Shu demon clan is all heart to Gongzi Ling, although forced by Hu Bugui evil power, but only pretended to agree, and finally under the leadership of the new demon alliance leader Gu Fatzi, he counterattacked, and successfully lured out the blue-eyed evil fox Hu Bugui, Gongzi Ling even appeared on the spot to kill the evil fox.

If you consider the follow-up of this matter. Hu Bugui is the minister of the Northern Dragon Heaven, if the Northern Dragon Heaven is rejuvenated, the collision of the two peerless demon kings of the Northern Dragon and the West Jin Peacock will set off a huge wave that is enough to subvert the entire rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many eyes there are in the dark, paying attention to this upcoming storm.

And the two people who really set off the storm quietly left without anyone caring.

"Master, are you really the one who kills He Gu and the poor?" On the official road, an old man rode a donkey leisurely, and a young man followed closely behind, following in the same direction, but he didn't see the slightest breath, and he still had time to ask.

"You kid is not annoying, you had to deduct this name from me before, but now that I admit it, do you want to doubt it?"

"No, if you are really a master like He Guqiang, even if you can't fly with the sword and take me for a ride, it won't take you much effort to carry a package for me, how can you ride a donkey to drink, and we have to carry a package on our legs?"

Qing Ku said leisurely: "Don't complain, I'm for your good, you are about to go to Lingxiao Sword Dao, but the disciples there have been practicing hard since childhood, and if they don't polish their muscles and bones, won't they be compared to them?"

Ying Feiyang said disdainfully: "Practice hard, practice hard, if you practice a bitter word in sword practice, then no matter how much you practice, it will be in vain." ”

Half a month has passed since Hu Bugui's death, and after Xie Lingyan and the three of them recovered from their injuries, they returned to Lingxiao Sword Dao in advance, and Ying Feiyang embarked on the road to Lingxiao Sword Dao under the difficulty of his master's fate.

He said it disdainfully, but he did yearn for Lingxiao Swordsman, a place where he learned swords, and Ying Feiyang did have a little yearning, but he was completely unprepared, so he hurriedly left his homeland, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little sad in his heart.

When he was sad, the carriages and horses on the official road drove out of the convoy, but everyone was dressed in plain clothes, the spirit was low, and the horses' hooves had to be trampled to a desolate place.

"Well, is it the Yang family's convoy?" Ying Feiyang saw a few familiar faces in the convoy, and his heart moved, sweeping the convoy, wanting to search for the unforgettable shadow.

Qing Ku didn't care about Ying Feiyang's actions, but when he heard about the decline of the Yang family, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the past, it was heroic and beautiful, but now it is desolate and desolate, but in half a month, it has changed its situation, and the world is impermanent, which is really embarrassing." ”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ying Fei's eyes moving in the convoy, and he couldn't help but get angry, patted him on the head and said, "What are you looking at?

The people outside the car look inside the car, and the people inside the car also look outside. Two pleasant but slightly muffled female voices were talking.

The soft and mature female voice snorted: "But two Taoists, what's so good?"

Qingyue immature female voice said: "Eighth sister, those two are the immortal chiefs who have come to the house to eliminate demons before. ”

"Hmph, what kind of immortal, what kind of ghost hunting and demon hunting, but my father is not yet...... It's not like I'm going, phew, it's just some tricksters!"

"But my father's death has nothing to do with them. ”

"Okay, you, always so naΓ―ve, now that my father has passed away, we moved our family north to join the third uncle, and when we arrived at the third uncle's house in Luoyang, you have to be a little more attentive, although the third uncle is friendly, but we are under the fence after all, but it is not better than in our own home, we must always speak and do things in a measured manner, and we must also pay attention to people. ”

"Oh, our own home? We don't have a home, if we can rest, we can count it as home. The slightly young and immature female voice sighed softly, with a sense of vicissitudes beyond her age.

"It's good if you know, and you don't have to worry about the eighth sister, it's cold and windy, so let's put down the curtains--Yuhuan sister"

The heavy curtains were lowered, blocking the eyes like autumn water, and the convoy gradually moved away, heading towards the mountain pass in the north.

The mountains in the distance meander, like a giant dragon coiling its body, opening its huge mouth to devour the unknown fate of the girl.
