The sky was nearly dusk, and the slanting sunset came in from the entrance of the main hall, pulling out a long residual light on the ground, dragging the back of Xu Beiyou in front of the Buddha statue for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Zhinan didn't know when he came to the door of the main hall, holding on to the vermilion door frame, the rays of the setting sun came from behind her, as if a layer of blood-red gold was plated on her silhouette, and her face was shrouded in shadows, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Zhinan asked softly.

Xu Beiyou turned around and smiled, "Are you awake?"

Xiao Zhinan hummed softly, crossed the threshold and walked into the main hall, the shadow on his face dissipated, and the whole person became clear.

Seeing this scene, Xu Beiyou's heart moved slightly, stepped forward, and said, "I was looking at the Buddha just now." ”

"See the Buddha?" Xiao Zhinan looked up at the three golden-bodied Buddhas who were neither happy nor sad, and said slowly: "These three Buddhas...... It was made by the master of Bukong, the head of the three major scholars of Buddhism. When the imperial grandfather was young, he asked the master of Bukong, there is the friendship of master and apprentice, so after the completion of the Jiming Temple, the imperial grandfather wanted to invite the master of the Bukong to be the first host of the Jiming Temple, but the master of the Bukong declined the proposal of the imperial grandfather, but recommended the master Cangxue as the first host of the Jiming Temple, and left the three Buddha statues of the Heng San, it is rumored that there are nine points of the Buddha statue of the Buddha in the ancestral court of the Buddha. ”

Xu Beiyou sighed and said, "No wonder that person has been watching the Buddha." ”

"That person?" Xiao Zhinan asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Qin Mumian." ”

Xiao Zhinan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly: "It seems that you have already seen her, so what did she say?"

However, before Xu Beiyou could speak, Xiao Zhinan shook his head again and said, "Forget it, don't tell me, just decide for yourself." ”

Xu Beiyou was silent.

"It's not too early. Xiao Zhinan glanced at the sky outside and said slowly: "I'm going to go back, what about you? If you want to go to the East Lake Courtyard, I'll ask Zhang Wuxian to bring you the sword box later." ”

Xu Beiyou barely hesitated, and directly shook his head and refused: "I've been thinking about it here for half an afternoon, so I'll go back and get it myself." Doing things is like cooking a small fresh, pay attention to a fire, the heat is not enough, half-baked, the heat is over, and things will be burned. ”

Xiao Zhinan had a slight smile on his face, shallow, just right, and said, "Then when are you going to go?" If it is before I return to the imperial capital, I can consider accompanying you over, which can also be regarded as giving you strong confidence. ”

Xu Beiyou smiled lightly, "You're not afraid of Qin Mumian, that's the master who used to fight with the Queen Mother." ”

"Afraid, why aren't you afraid?" Xiao Zhinan smiled like a thousand-year-old demon fox who had only cultivated to perfection at this moment, and said with a smile: "But you definitely won't watch me being bullied by her, right?" Xu Beiyou. ”

Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The grievances of the older generation, just like my master and Autumn Leaves, are all confused accounts that can't be calculated. ”

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "There is nothing that is not clear, my father has never shied away from this, he once said that the grievances between the imperial grandmother and Qin Mumian are, to put it bluntly, two women fighting for men, and in the end, the imperial grandmother won, that's all." ”

Xu Beiyou was stunned, deeply shocked by His Majesty the Emperor's straightforwardness, after all, it involves both parents, how can a child say this?

Xiao Zhinan suddenly smiled and said: "If it weren't for the emperor's grandmother to win, there would be no father, let alone me." ”

Xu Beiyou sat on the threshold, looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, and said with emotion: "Why should women be embarrassed by women." ”

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, and also learned from Xu Beiyou to sit on the threshold regardless of manners, looked at the sunset and said: "If you say that it is a man, then it can only show that you men are really greedy." ”

"Greedy?" Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Are people who are not greedy still people? That's a saint." ”

"Actually...... I have always been very envious of the imperial grandmother, the more I envy her, the more unwilling I am to marry Duanmu Yu and the like, do you say that I am also very greedy?" Xiao Zhinan said softly.

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "It's not greedy, it's just human nature." It would be good if we followed the methods of our Sword Sect and killed Duanmu Yu and the others with one sword, one sword could not solve the trouble, but it could directly wipe out the trouble. ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled bitterly, "It's really a bad scenery." ”

"Huh. Xu Beiyou smiled, putting aside the indifference and city government that had been imposed on him over the years, just like when he first saw Xiao Zhinan in Danxia Village, with a clean face and a clean smile, Xiao Zhinan, who had the realm of immobility of the eight winds, actually lost his mind for a moment.

Xiao Zhinan, like most princesses, never knew what it was like to be in love, and she had never even tasted the taste of temptation, because she had been used to seeing the excellence of her father and brother since she was a child, making it difficult for her to have any other feelings for those young and handsome people.

She is like an old fox who has lived in the temple for many years, weighing the pros and cons, and examining everyone around her with a rational eye, until she repeatedly met Xu Beiyou, a different young man, she was unimpressed from the beginning, and then her mind was shaken, she asked herself, is there really such a thing as fate in the world?

If there is, is it a sin to let it slip away from your eyes and not catch it?

Xiao Zhinan lowered his eyes and gently turned the purple-eyed jade beads on his wrist.

The Xiao family's descendants are scarce, and they can't count more than the number of hands, so there are no rules as big as outsiders imagine, and many words are not taboo.

His father, Xiao Xuan, once asked his father Xiao Yu when he was a teenager why he only married his mother with the respect of the emperor.

Xiao Yu replied for three reasons, one of which was that the husband and wife were originally a husband and wife in distress, from poor to rich, and they supported them all the way, but they were unwilling. Second, his wife had been seriously injured because of him, and the legacy was so deep that she was frail and sick in the future. Third, if there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and if there are many rights and wrongs, there will be less pure and peaceful, and I don't want to.

Therefore, at three o'clock, Xiao Yu only married Lin Yinping for the rest of his life, although Qin Mumian was also respected as a concubine by many old ministers, but in fact, he and Emperor Xiao had neither the name of husband and wife, nor the fact of husband and wife.

Of course, this conversation between father and son must be behind the back of the Queen Mother, who has always been famous for her arrogance, otherwise Xiao Yu may not be like this, but Xiao Xuan when he was a teenager was inevitably taught by the queen mother to "rub and rub the round".

Maybe it was because Xiao Zhinan Xiao was like her grandmother, she didn't think about sharing her husband with other women in her heart, even if this husband made her abandon her, it would not allow other women to be contaminated.

From this point of view, Duanmu Yu, the half son-in-law who was favored by Emperor Xiao, was considered to have committed Xiao Zhinan's taboo, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had never liked the sad spring and autumn, even began to think about whether to let Duanmu Yu leave the chessboard early.

Xu Beiyou was observing the changes in Xiao Zhinan's expression from beginning to end, and when Xiao Zhinan retracted the counting beads on his wrist into the cuffs, he retracted the smile on his face and asked softly, "What were you thinking just now?"

Xiao Zhinan showed a bright smile for the first time, squinting his eyes with a smile, as if immersed in some kind of joyful mood, "I'm thinking about how to dismantle that scum of Duanmu Yu." ”

Xu Beiyou was surprised and asked, "Is it really fake?"

In any case, in terms of treating Duanmu Yu, Xu Beiyou is definitely no different from Xiao Zhinan.

"Make up for a sword, aren't you afraid of messing with Duanmu Ruisheng?" Xiao Zhinan asked with a smile.

"Duanmuyu wants to put me to death, do you want me to sit and wait for death? There is no such reason. Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "I am not a bad person who repays grievances with virtue, and I can't learn the ability to do it myself, I only know how to return blood for blood." ”

Xiao Zhinan got up from the threshold and said: "If you want to return blood for blood, it's not a few cruel words that don't want to die, it's okay to make a posture of seeing death as home, you have to have that capital." If it is the previous Sword Sect, the Four Great Elders, the Six Great Sword Slaves, the Twelve Sword Masters, and the Twenty-Eight Pavilion Guards, as the first disciple and young master of the Sword Sect, you naturally have this confidence. As for now, if you want to wrestle with Duanmu Ruisheng, it's still too far away. ”

Xu Beiyou also got up and said: "I am a small cloth cloth from a small place, I don't have a Biao Bing family background that everyone envies, and I don't have the root bone qualifications of an immortal, I am lucky to become the young master of the Sword Sect, which is already a great opportunity, and it is too unpopular to ask for anything else." Master and Mr. have paved a smooth road for me, as long as I don't die halfway, one day I will be able to stand up to the head of the Duanmu family in a dignified manner. ”
