In the view of water and clouds, there is a death-like silence.

The Dao girls counted the time, and at this time, Lan Lu was about to go to the altar. No one mentioned the mountain god sacrifice, and no one spoke.

The candle flame was blown by the wind that leaked in, and shone on their faces, like clay sculptures of Arhats with thick dust accumulated in a ruined temple, dim and bleak, without a trace of blood.

When it was approaching, there was a sudden sound outside the door, which was particularly harsh in the silent view of water and clouds. The Daoists looked at each other, their faces puzzled. At this time, people go to participate in the mountain god festival, who will run to the mountain and knock on the door?

The Dao girls stood up together and walked over to open the door-

I saw that it was no one else standing at the door, it was Lan Lu!

Under the lantern under the eaves, his expression was dull and pale.

Behind her, there was not a single footprint on the road that had just been covered with heavy snow.

After being surprised, the Taoist aunts gathered at the door and pointed at her return, either showing displeasure, or scolding her for disobeying the mountain god and stealing her life and fearing death.

Miao Yuan was the last to rush out of the Water Cloud Temple. Her eyes were swollen like two walnuts, the tear stains on her sleeves had not yet dried, and her gray hair was a mess and curled up.

Seeing Lan Lu standing at the door, Miao Yuan ran over and hugged her: "Good Lu'er, my good Lu'er." It's good to be back, it's good to be back, let's never go to any mountain god sacrifice again......"

"Miao Yuan, are you crazy?" A Taoist aunt said sharply: "It's okay for her to sneak back, our Shuiyunguan is going to be unlucky! When the officers and soldiers find her, we will all bury her! If you want to die, you will accompany her." We don't want to die so early!"

"Yes, hurry up and send her back before anyone from the official mansion comes!" the other Daoist aunt looked around nervously.

Then the voices of echo, accompanied by accusations, came and went. The dusk lantern cast an orange halo on the snow, shining on the blue surface, making her look particularly sluggish.

I don't know how long the chaos lasted, until the two Taoist aunts who went to participate in the mountain god festival hurried back from the bottom of the mountain-

"Don't make any noise! Just now the mountain god appeared and pointed out that he was a vegetarian! Human sacrifice has been canceled, and there will be no human sacrifice in the future! No one is allowed to mention human sacrifice again!"

There was a sudden silence outside the view.

After this day, Lan Lu seemed to be a different person, no longer asking about the world, and devoted herself to the Tao.

People say she's in a good life, and she can catch up with the good times every time. He was abandoned at birth, but he has survived until now. was selected as a sacrifice, and the century-old tradition of this Universiade country was broken.

The Taoist aunts who said that she couldn't throw it away laughed at her again, the eight characters were too hard, and she couldn't die.

But in fact, after returning from the mountain god sacrifice, Lan Lu's body deteriorated day by day.

Since she was ten years old, she has been soaked in cold water all day long, and after all, her unshaped body has been broken. In addition to giving her hands with deformed knuckles, he also gave her a vague body that was afraid of cold.

She was very strong when she was young, and like a remnant flower falling in a stream, she gradually faded and withered.

Three years later, Miao Yuan passed away.

In the following six months, Lan Lu has been indulging in the grief of Miao Yuan's death. The old and the new diseases were intertwined, and in the end, she could not survive her nineteenth winter, and died of illness in the scorching summer of the eighteen-year-old.

The scorching sun, which was the same as many years ago, was a hot summer day that could not be dissipated by the splash of water in the stream.

The Dao aunts went through her small room as they sorted out her belongings. She has been washing people's clothes for eight years, and she pays a lot of money every month. The Taoist aunts thought that she would save some savings more or less.

But after looking around, I couldn't find a copper plate.

They only found a long pearwood box under her bed, hidden in the most hidden place. When I opened it, it seemed to be the paper she practiced calligraphy, layered on top of each other, and there were hundreds of sheets. Each one has the same sentence written on it -

As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world.

......

In the Xianghuolin Palace, the red ribbons on the branches of the peach trees flew in the wind, and Forget Chen and Bai Youxian listened without saying a word. The melon that Changyu was holding slipped out of his hand at some point and fell on the white floor tiles of the Xianghuo Lin Palace.

After Hongxi finished speaking, Changyu slowly asked, "How do you know, there are more than me?"

Hongxi hugged her arms and leaned back in the chair: "Not only do I know, but Shan Hu and Chang Jue also know." After Lan Lu ascended to the immortal, she came to me as soon as possible. With a calm face and a murderous aura, you will force me to hand over the marriage knot between the two of you without saying a word. Then the sword fell, and the sword swing cut off the marriage knot between the two of you.

That momentum scared me so much that I almost died. I was still angry when I saw that she had finished cutting it, for fear that she would destroy my palace. So I had to take out a few jars of high-quality drunken immortal brew and compensate her for good words. Who knows that this blue dew looks strong, but the amount of alcohol is very shallow. After two glasses, I was drunk. ”

As if thinking of the scene at that time, Hongxi's heart palpitated, and she paused for a moment before continuing:

"She was so drunk that she really killed me. In my palace, I can't stop anything I see. I hurriedly called the mountain guard, and pulled Chang Jue with me on the way, and it took a lot of effort to finally stop her. After she was done, she wasn't drunk. The mountain protector wanted to bring her back to the mountain temple, so she hugged the peach tree in my courtyard and shook out the things of the mortal world like beans. ”

The brilliance in Changyu's eyes gradually dimmed, and he sat there stunned.

Bai Youxian glanced at Changyu: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness is still a person who is greedy for fame and fortune." A prime minister's daughter can make you negative blue dew, and it seems that the likes in your mouth are not enough. ”

Hongxi sat up straight, as if she wanted to say something. Changyu glanced up at him, and the hall was quiet again.

Forget the dust and look at Hongxi, and look at Changyu.

It is not unreasonable to have idle sarcastic remarks about Changyu. It's just that Forget Chen thinks that Changyu's heart for Lan Lu is not as shallow as it sounds.

As soon as the golden wind and jade dew met, when he said this sentence to Lan Lu, he must have been sincere and happy in his heart.

It's just that she didn't understand why Changyu suddenly changed her mind later since Changyu had already rejected the marriage offered by her family for Lan Lu.

There must be a reason for this.

If Changyu is for the sake of his future, he will marry the prime minister's daughter. Then with his character of casting a net everywhere, he should throw a signal to Lan Lu and let Lan Lu continue to wait for him. But he didn't say anything, and disappeared without a word. It's weird.

After hesitating for a moment, Forget Chen looked at Hongxi: "That...... What happened to the Second Highness of the Mortal World?"

Hongxi looked at Changyu and was hesitating to answer, but Changyu replied by himself: "Naturally, I am also dead, thanks to this love affair with Lan Lu, I can successfully ascend to the gods." That's not how it is. ”

He said it lightly, as if Lan Lu's suffering in the mortal world had nothing to do with him, just a robbery and that's it.

This made Bai Youxian feel very uncomfortable when he heard it, and he slapped the table and stood up.

"Divorce, divorce, I must withdraw from the marriage with your uncle. In the front, there is the heavenly monarch who bears the admiration, and the long jade bears the blue dew. I'm really afraid of you guys! Presumably Ziyun is no better, I will personally go to him tomorrow and withdraw from this marriage!"

Without waiting for Changyu's reaction, Bai Youxian also pulled Forget Chen off the stool and said indignantly:

"Let's forget the dust, let's go, a person like His Second Highness, we can't stay with him for a moment. The so-called those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black! lest they become cold and thin-blooded like them. ”

Forget the dust was pulled by Youxian and walked out of the door vigorously.

As she walked away, she silently turned her head and her gaze fell on Changyu.

Changyu sat there motionless, and the whole person was shrouded in a slightly cool fog. It seems that he didn't notice anything gossiping, and he didn't notice that the two of them were gone.

He just sat like that, lost thinking about something.

There was no trace of sparkle in those beautiful eyes, and the mind was in a trance, and the mind was not here at all.
