Chapter 40: No Disaster (1)

Shunzhi for eight years.

A new tombstone has been erected in the wilderness. There is not a word on the stele, and it is particularly lonely between the green mountains and green fields. It is said that life is like this, it comes quietly, and it will eventually be lonely.

A young man in white stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, almost becoming a clay wood carving. His voice was as light as a breeze, and in the blink of an eye, it dissipated between heaven and earth. Perhaps there are still lonely souls and wild ghosts passing by who have heard of it, and heard him say: "Yun'er, I have advised you in every possible way, but I don't want to see you come to this point. But you refused to listen to my advice, and you ended up in this situation...... In any case, only oneself is qualified to control each person's choice. Others worry too much, it's all in vain, maybe this is the destined fate. ”

There was a sudden sound of "sand" in the grass behind him, and it seemed that the wind was also crying for the unknown woman in the grave. The young man ignored it, knelt down on his own, put the few small white flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, and whispered, as if talking to himself, as if to whisper, and said: "However, life is not necessarily a blessing, and death is not necessarily a misfortune. While you were alive, you were always haunted by the obsession of revenge, and you were deeply involved in court battles, and you never enjoyed a day of true happiness. Now in another world, you can finally get the freedom you have been looking for. I think that when you get there, you will no longer have pain and troubles, and you will be truly liberated, and I bless you. You will be happier then than before. I didn't see you for the last time, so now I come to tell you personally, I have never blamed you, all kinds of life experiences, will be a rare experience, but also a precious wealth. Since you gave it, I will cherish it for the rest of my life.

I don't know what kind of character can be counted as the final winner. Some time ago, Prince Cheng led troops to quell the war, and the emperor imprisoned Prince Ying. At the end of the mourning period of the regent, the rest of the rebel party leaders raided their homes and confiscated the army, and the queen mother was old and tired, and did not want to interfere too much in the affairs of the court, so he was finally able to govern himself and ascend to the pinnacle of true supreme power. On the surface, he was victorious, but he was not happy. Although he took Concubine Dong E back to the palace, restored the throne, and often rested in her bedroom, on the surface, it seemed that the two of them were so good that they were in the mix, but only those of us who knew it back then understood that Concubine Dong E was just your stand-in. I know that in the emperor's heart, there will always be your place, which no one can replace. I don't know how to define a person's life and death, and if it is determined by his own consciousness, how can I explain the formation of the soul? If he can always have a place in another person's mind, does it mean that his existence has never disappeared? The emperor is with Concubine Dong E, he is laughing, but he is really unhappy. Rejoicing or not is not judged by simply crying and laughing, is it?

There is no such thing as an absolute winner or loser, perhaps because it does not have a single criterion for judging like a chess game. Perhaps in the eyes of the onlooker, a person has nothing, but in his own eyes, he is the happiest person in the world. I don't know what to say, the emperor and you are the cause of fate to be missed. If it weren't for all these calamities, you might be a very happy couple who could live a harmonious and beautiful life. But if it weren't for those trials, how could you reflect the preciousness of your feelings? Things in the world always have both positive and negative sides, and how many things can be explained by people?

It won't be long before I'm going to get out of here. Being an official in the imperial court is not my life's ideal. Some ignorant concepts, inherited for thousands of years, cannot be changed by me. If I refuse to adapt to the times and have to challenge tradition, will I also become a pedantic old stubborn? The knowledge in books cannot bring us everything, but my own experience may not be correct. So I'm a far cry from what you say is knowledgeable.

Yes, Yun'er, I nag you so much, I'm afraid it will annoy you. I may not be able to come to see you for a while. But I'm going to take you to heart, that feeling...... It's like you're always by my side, stupid, isn't it? Let's make a pact that when we meet again, we'll be happier than we are now. ”

The boy put an end to his whimsical remarks, straightened his legs, and stood up. The soft color on his face was quickly replaced by indifference, and he said lightly: "You are also here to pay tribute to the dead, right? Why don't you come out? This shouldn't be something unseemly." ”

There was a rustling sound in the grass again, exactly the same as before. A girl in green walked out with a light smile and said, "Yo." Your ear power is still so sensitive, it's a pity not to practice martial arts, it's a pity. ”

The young man smiled faintly and said, "My ambition is not here. What's more, no matter how high the martial arts are practiced, what can they do? It's just that when it is used to fight and kill, it can win a one-and-a-half-move move. I have learned martial arts, and there are too many people who can't help myself. When you don't have a name, you are oppressed by others, and when you have a name, you either go to bully others, or you line up for people to ask for advice. Become a master, and you are destined to never have peace. In fact, what is so great about that number one name in the world? The level of martial arts is constantly evolving every day, so how can we really make an immutable list? Today's people are too impetuous and have long distorted the original intention of learning martial arts. It's not enough to be fit, they also want to compete with others and taste the thrill of victory. That's not all, but the saddest thing is to use martial arts to bully others. Why don't you think about what you can do, others can do it, and maybe it is better and better than you. The sword-wielder will definitely die under the sword, even if he practices his martial arts to a higher level for a while, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and sooner or later someone with higher martial arts will come to clean him up. ”

The girl pouted and said, "No, I know that he is a true master, and it is impossible for anyone to defeat him." Alright, alright, you idiot, I just said one word, and you ran out of this big call, but don't put your husband on the shelf at every turn! Hey, haven't you heard from Xuanshuang lately?"

The young man shook his head and said, "The emperor is also looking for him." But you know that the heavens and the earth are big, and if a person has the intention to hide, if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to find it. Xuanshuang is a child with strong self-esteem, which is both his advantage and disadvantage. He once made such a heavy oath in front of the emperor, but he was afraid that he would not return to the palace until he achieved something. ”

Ignoring the worried look on the girl's face, she continued: "Actually, it's okay, sometimes people can't grow because they rely too much on external support. Only by learning to face difficulties on your own and try to solve them can you grow. Let him calm down for a while, and he can look at some problems that he can't figure out from a different perspective and have a new understanding and cognition. If he succeeds, he will be reborn when he returns. If he can't get past it, he'll have to stay where he is. But...... Xuanshuang was in the palace before, what a wonderful child, I think he will not be able to overcome this challenge. ”

The girl sighed lightly and said, "Although he has not been pampered since he was a child, he has grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth. Now that I'm alone outside, I'm worried about ......" The young man smiled: "He is the deputy head of the Demon Sect, instead of worrying about others bullying him, it is better to worry about him bullying others!" As if he couldn't bear to see the girl frowning, he pointed to the tombstone and said, "This child is still very filial." You see, he actually came to worship too. ”

The girl sighed, probed her head at the tombstone for a long time, still didn't understand at all, and said, "How can you see it?" The young man said: "Concubine Yun was buried a month ago, but now this tombstone is still bare, without any weeds, don't you think it's unusual? I guess Xuanshuang came to worship, and he was troubled by his pride, and he didn't want to show that he had been here." This is not like putting some bouquets of flowers like ordinary people, but doing the opposite and pulling out all the weeds in front of the tombstones. ”

The girl laughed and said, "I see, it's really Xuanshuang's style!" I don't know if the weeds in his heart can be pulled out again?" The young man glanced at her and said, "Don't patronize others, have you pulled out all the weeds in your heart?"

The girl was slightly stunned, looked up at the sky, as if this topic had made her heart shake a lot, and her voice was as soft as a breeze drifting in the woods, and said, "I? What do I ...... This month, I stayed at the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city. To say that in the past, I really didn't like to do things for my father-in-law and Concubine Yun, but I saw them with my own eyes...... I was very sad about that fate. would rather return to the situation in the past in the cracks, and even don't know where this inexplicable sympathy comes from. Maybe human inertia is really so strong. Everyone has a special affection for what he once had, and then lost. Therefore, even when I finally got the freedom I wanted, I always felt weird, and I never hoped for it at all...... Or the kind of feeling that finally made a dream come true. The boy snorted, apparently not satisfied with her answer.

The girl sighed lightly, struggled to provoke the topic, and said, "My brother is bent on pursuing career promotion, and now he ...... It's finally satisfying him. Because of his meritorious service in saving the driver last time, he is now a popular person in front of the emperor, and I heard that this time he subdued Prince Ying's rebellion, and his credit is indispensable. But it is conceivable that he is so busy every day that he must have snubbed his sister-in-law again. Alas, there are pros and cons to everything, and this time, the distance between me and him is getting farther and farther away. I am no longer the regent's daughter, and I don't know if he is impatient to let a little commoner girl continue to be related to him. ”

The young man snorted and said, "Okay, you know what I'm asking! How long do you want to escape? Have you really let go? Why don't you even dare to face your true thoughts?"

The girl was suddenly exposed by him, her face was a little embarrassed, and she said, "It's not that I dare not face it, but I ...... I know I'm never going to give up, I'm still thinking about him, I'm loving him, and I'm going to love him forever as long as I live. But if you say these words, it will make you unhappy, and you will not understand, so I simply don't say it. But why do I have to let go? Can't I make him finally find out what is good about me and fall in love with me through continuous efforts?"

The young man said, "You are too worried, and I am not one of yours, so why should you be upset? Why should you interfere with your decision? You don't have to hide it just to take my feelings into account." ”

Hearing that there was a bit of vinegar in his words, he was also slightly stunned, then paused, and said in a soothing tone: "Yes, I have persuaded you before." But now, we are no longer the same as we used to be, even if it is only a few months, we can make people grow rapidly. It's your love, and you certainly have the right to make your own decisions. However, don't say that I hit you, now you can only drag him back, do you know?"
