The goose feather snow fell all night, the sky and the earth were white, and it didn't stop until now, but behind the snow curtain was the boss's day, which was a miracle.

On the official road on the outskirts of Lanzhou, two horses pulled a cart and came slowly.

Inside the car were two white-bearded old men in coarse linen clothes, one of whom lifted the curtain with a deadwood-like palm, and snowflakes drifted into the car like cold cotton wool.

The old man's eyes were deep, he looked out the window and was stunned, and slowly groaned:

"The forbidden garden condenses the air, and the snow covers the morning light. ”

The old man next to him was surprised when he heard the poem: "In recent years, I have often heard that Shangguan's style of poetry is wrong and charming, and it is highly sought after, and it really deserves its name."

However, this trip to the capital is uncertain, You Zhao and Yaxing poems?"

The old man did not look back, "In the winter after a long drought, this snow is really timely." ”

"You're not worried at all?"

The old man shook his head with a smile: "Worried?

In the fourteenth year of the great cause, my father was killed in the Jiangdu Change, I shaved as a monk to avoid disaster, went through hardships, and then got the appreciation of Taizong and sealed the secretary Lang, and was able to repair the "Book of Jin" to leave the name in the annals of history;

Gaozu Vasui avenged my family revenge, no matter what, how can I not repay the kindness of the Li family?

The Empress Wu has suppressed it for a long time, and in recent years, he has led those demons in the name of cultivating immortals from the stargazing platform into the palace, and practiced the art of disgust and victory.

The old man shook his head slowly, smiling bitterly.

The old man turned his head and said: "Regular, you and I have been in the office all my life, and we should be careful about the world, Tingzhi has been taught by me since I was a child, and I already know my intentions...... Pity the newly born Wan'er, if something happens to me this time, I hope that Brother Zhengze will help one or two, and Shangguan Yi will definitely remember the five. ”

The old man held his hand and sighed heavily: "Wan'er is still in infancy, and the queen of martial arts will submerge their mother and daughter into the court together, there must be a plan, and I won't kill the killer for the sake of fame, if you ...... If something happens to you and Tingzhi, I will fight for my life, and I will ensure that she is well. ”

Shangguan Yi sat upright and saluted: "I'll be in Lanzhou soon, there are many people, so let's stay." I didn't rest, I went straight to Chang'an through the city. ”

"You Zhao, since you have made up your mind, parting, I will say one more word, enter Beijing, but according to His Majesty's orders, don't have a conflict with the stargazing platform.

Although the world knows its name, but this sect of cultivating immortals rarely wanders among the people, and there are few historical records, but the foolish brother I have stayed in Xijing for many years, and when I learned the secret report, I felt that this was a behemoth, and it was rumored that the head of the name 'Queen Mother of the West Immortals' could move mountains and seas, and it was not human to contend with.

The Empress Wu is not terrible, what is terrible is the sudden appearance of the stargazing platform this time.

If you make a mistake, I am afraid that no amount of sacrifice will be useless. ”

Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "Dao Law Qing Xiu, how can a real master of the dust interfere with the world so much, and how dare he cling to the middle palace and meddle in the struggle for imperial power?

Xiu Xian asked how ethereal, the world is quite ignorant. ”

'I'm afraid it's not the stargazing platform that is attached to the martial arts, but the opposite. ’

When the old man saw that persuasion was useless, he sighed again and again, and without saying a word, got up and got out of the carriage, unloaded a brown horse, and galloped away in the direction from which he came.

Shangguan Yi looked back from afar, "How many injustices are there in the world, how can you see a half-Buddha and a half-immortal?"

The carriage and horses moved slowly, and the wheels turned, bringing up a slip of snow foam.

A squirrel scurried down the bare old tree next to the official road, crossed the road and ran into the distant ravine.

In the snow between the ravines, two middle-aged men with iron bows in their hands are staggering forward one after the other, like hunters.

The mountains on the outskirts of Lanzhou are vertical and horizontal, the peaks and valleys are densely covered, catch up with the heavy snow, and the valleys do not know how many ditches and holes have become traps that swallow people.

"Look at the trees. ”

One of the first people suddenly raised his finger forward.

The latter looked intently, and saw an ocelot lying on the treetop of an old locust tree with a crooked neck a few feet away, with brown fur blowing up, staring at them with bared teeth.

The man who took the lead immediately drew a feather arrow and said in a low voice:

"Good brute, look at your right eye!"

As soon as the finger was released, the bow and arrow came out with a 'boom', which was really powerful.

The long arrow went off the string, and the arrow grew bigger and bigger in the leopard cat's eye, and before a single scream could be made, the feathered arrow pierced through the back of the head from the right eye and died.

The arrow shot into the sky with a slip of cat blood, and two colorful streamers flew by in the higher sky, blinking away, and I don't know where it fell, but at this time it was clear and snowy, and no one found it.

Looking down from the sky, there is a huge city standing in the distance, the blue-brown walls enclose a very wide land in all directions, the pavilions and pavilions in the city are lined up one after another, the sun shines on the thick snow cover, the golden light is shining, straight like the southern heavenly fairyland, and the two rows of ironclad heavy soldiers stand straight at the towering city gate.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped from a distant post road, and immediately a man with a pitch-black fur coat, a jacket and hat, and a scroll wrapped in golden silk on his back.

"Wu Hou Yizhi, Kyoto urgent!"

The shouts came, and the horses galloped near.

It is said that behind the martial queen is not only the emperor, but also the support of the largest Xianmen stargazing platform, and those who are slightly disrespectful are all killed by the immortal magic without realizing it.

When the soldiers guarding the gate heard the name, how could they dare to stop it?

At the moment, they all stepped back, their waists straightened, and their respectful postures appeared.

But the man stood under the gates, and looked up.

The two bronze characters have been mottled and frozen, like a layer of colorful glass, a ray of sunlight penetrated from between the bricks, and immediately the person squinted his eyes, and slowly opened them, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he whispered: "Lanzhou!"

..................................................................

Heavy snow in the middle of winter, the weather is not beautiful, the tea shop restaurant is overcrowded, to say that the most famous restaurant in Lanzhou Mansion, it is naturally a smile on the West Street.

The name of this building is called "a smile", taken from "a thousand gold is easy to get, a smile is hard to find", this difficult smile is said to be a courtesan in the building - Jin Xiaoxiao, the market has already given her the title of "Lanzhou a flower".

Although her name is Jin Xiaoxiao, but according to legend, this woman has never laughed in her life, if anyone is lucky enough to let her show her face, Yixiaolou will give away a thousand gold - a thousand taels of gold.

Every festival, a smile building will hold a banquet, the wine and food is much cheaper than on weekdays, and there will be a finale of Jin Xiaoxiao, today is not a festival, but a smile building has a banquet, and it will be held for three consecutive days.

For the shopkeeper, these days are happier than any festival, he has been around since he was sixteen years old, and his five wives and concubines are all beautiful and beautiful, but in the past 30 years, he has no son or daughter under his knees, and he is incompetent on weekdays, and the gossip of excessive indulgence when he was a child has hit his aging heart.

Yixiao Lou was full of people at this time, and Fang Yuan stood in the corridor behind the building in a coat, listening to the noise in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Lang Zhong said that it will be Ruomei's birth date in the near future, and when my son is born, see if you still say that a certain family will not move?"

He was proud in his heart, thinking that he was going to greet everyone, so he went to the front building.

When the guest officers in the main hall saw him come out, they stopped chatting, and got up to congratulate him in advance, and the members returned the salute one by one.

"Mr. Li, thank you very much. ”

"Liu Yuanwai! Don't dare, don't dare! When my son is born, he will definitely come to the door to return the gift. ”

"Oh, Zhang Yuanwai, I heard that you just got a daughter, if I give birth to a son, I will definitely have a family with you. ”

He greeted with a smile on his face, and suddenly walked in from outside the gate, an old man and a young singer, the old man with a childish face, white eyebrows, and a small drum the size of a slap in his hand; There was a lot of snow outside, and the two of them were not covered with snow, which was very peculiar.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and drove away: "This store is full, you should invite it elsewhere." ”

The old man smiled kindly, noncommittal, but the child snorted and pouted: "If it is a weekday, even if you carry a sedan chair to invite, we will not come, today my master is here, you are not good to entertain, and dare to coax us to leave?"

The child looked like he was four or five years old, but he looked like an adult when he spoke, and everyone laughed.

Fang Yuanwai stepped forward, waved his hand and said to the shopkeeper, "You go and get busy." He apologized to the old man again, "It just so happens that Fang's family is happy, and the person who comes is a guest, so I will add a table to the two of you." ”

The old man smiled even more, but said: "Mr. is polite, but the little old man is not here for food and drink, I have to hear that Mr. is very happy, so I came to sing a little song to disturb Mr. Audio-visual." ”

Fang Yuan said strangely: "How does the old man know that I have a son instead of a daughter?"

The old man shook his head, "When the song is over, I'll answer for Mr." ”

Fang Yuan saw that there was a mystery hidden in his words, and he was also curious, so he led the two to the stage.

"The old man was affected, and a certain listened. ”

The old man saluted, and the child struck the small drum in the old man's hand with a drumstick, and said in a childish voice: "A drum, everyone is invited." ”

The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a long voice: "People." ”

The child knocked again: "Ertong drum, wind, thunder, rain, snow, flowers, trees, mountains and rivers." ”

The old man said, "Life and death." ”

Children sing: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are joyful, angry, sorrowful, and carefree." ”

The old man said, "Heaven and earth." ”

"The sky is boundless, the earth is endless, where is home? The white clouds flow outside the sky, the wind and dust dissipate the mountains and rivers, the flowers bloom and fall year after year, and the old people do not know ...... year after year."

The child's singing voice is extremely weird, and this passage sings a small half-pillar of incense, but what the meaning of the song is, everyone doesn't know, but this passage is like imprinted in the brain, and everyone is stupid when they hear it.

When the song was finished, the child beat a drum.

"Three-way drums, fairy gods, immortals!"

The old man's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears, which suddenly woke people up.

Fang Yuanwai stood on the side of the stage, feeling a thrill all over his body, and then looked at the two of them with some awe in his eyes.

The master and apprentice walked off the stage, and the other party smiled and said, "Mr. listen, the little old man sings, and he will leave." ”

Fang Yuan said hurriedly: "Old immortal don't go, can you take a step to speak?"

He invited the two of them aside and whispered, "Listen to your old accent like you're from the west?"

The child arched his nose disdainfully, "Do you only know about the observatory......?

The old man stopped the child's words, and said to the other party: "Sir, can you understand the little old man's music?"

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, the old fairy is very wise, and I don't understand it. Fang Yuanwai shook his head: "Please also ask the old fairy for advice." ”

The old man's eyes were in a trance, and Shaoqing sighed: "Mr. is already the most fortunate person in the world, why do you need to use the little old man to guide you again?"

Fang Yuanwai decided that this old and young master and apprentice were the masters of the immortal sect, and they wanted to get even a little bit of enlightenment, but seeing that this old immortal did not have this will, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Then can you ask the old immortal to answer the previous words for a certain one?"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Ask." ”

Fang Yuanwai was overjoyed and asked, "Are you deciding to have a son?"

The old man nodded, "One son, one son for life." ”

"Okay, one son is enough. Fang Yuanwai was overjoyed, rubbing his hands and not knowing what else to ask, and his mouth was sobbing again and again.

"This son is very good, very good...... the old man's words seemed to be with him, and he seemed to be chattering to himself, and after a long time, he finally frowned and sighed: "The general trend of derivation is missing, and it still can't be counted after all." ”

Seeing him like this, the child was a little anxious, "Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Okay, Gu Wa'er, the people from Kunlun should also arrive, let's go. The old man touched the child's head.

Fang Yuan chased him outside the door and asked, "When will you get the child?"

"Today...... Today. ”

The two of them had walked into the vast snow in the blink of an eye and disappeared, but the voice came, but this sentence was a secret method of sound transmission, only one person outside the Fang Yuan heard it, he didn't know it, a snowflake fell into the collar, and he snorted again.

A housekeeper in a leather jacket ran out of the corner of the street, and when he saw him in a daze in the snow, he hurriedly shouted: "Master, go back to the house!" When he got closer, he whispered in the ear of the officer: "The eldest lady has given birth." ”

Fang Yuanwai said slightly angrily: "How can I not see my son when he was born? What are you doing sneakily!"

Jia Ding hurriedly whispered: "Master, let's go, you will know when you go back." ”
