Chapter 68 It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again
The cool breeze has a letter, and the autumn moon is boundless.
The Midyear Festival is followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival of another year, symbolizing reunion, Xu Beiyou's last Mid-Autumn Festival was to accompany Zhang Xueyao in the East Lake Courtyard, but this time he was not so lucky, he had to spend it in this foreign country, fortunately, he met his old man in another country, and there was an Aunt Qin.
In a wide tent in the ranch, the two sat opposite each other, and the middle side of the disc was placed with the best moon cakes sent by He Shiyu early, the weather was good tonight, after the night fell, there was a bright moon poking out from behind the clouds, and the curtain could be lifted to look up at the moon, Qin Mumian did not deliberately pay attention to the rules and knelt down, but sat cross-legged quite casually, picked up a piece of moon cake and took a bite lightly, looking at the bright moon in the sky outside the tent, a little stunned.
Xu Beiyou is a junior after all, with his knees together, his upper body straight, and he sits upright. In all fairness, Xu Beiyou doesn't like this way of kneeling and sitting inherited from ancient times, he prefers chairs, but there are few such things as chairs here, so he can only follow the local customs.
At this time, he did not go to eat moon cakes, but thought about his own thoughts.
On the cliff outside the small square village, he was not only because he absorbed the divine intent of the Baihong sword qi, but also because he said goodbye to the summer cicada back then, and he made the immortal out of the box in one go, and stepped into the realm of the five-fold building of the earth immortal. However, he can make Zhu Xian out of the box, it does not mean that he can control Zhu Xian freely, just like a child who finally pulled a sword out of the sheath with a lot of effort, it does not mean that this child can pick up this sword and play a few more sword flowers, and now Xu Beiyou is the child, just to pull the sword out of the sheath, and there is still a long way to go if you want to use it freely.
If he wants to force his actions to use Zhu Xian, it's not impossible, but it's likely to backfire on himself, just like a childish boy forcibly raising a long sword higher than himself, maybe he won't cut the enemy, but he will smash himself.
If you want to go further, cultivation is the foundation, at least after reaching the Ten Floors of the Earth Immortals, Xu Beiyou can hold the Zhu Immortal with his own hands, as for controlling the Zhu Immortal like an arm, then I am afraid that it will have to wait until the realm of the eighteenth floor of the Earth Immortal.
Qin Mumian, who had been staring at the bright moon for a long time, came back to his senses and suddenly said: "There are some things that I have been holding back in my heart for most of my life, and I always want to find someone to talk to." Nangui, do you want to hear about the old story of my old woman?"
Xu Beiyou Zhengse said: "Beiyou listens. β
Qin Mumian said softly: "I think you have also heard, when I was in Taiping for ten years, Xiao Yu gave me the name of an imperial concubine, in fact, the two of us are not husband and wife, this is just a name, and then Xiao Yu left, and the imperial concubine became the imperial concubine again, this so-called imperial concubine is not as good as Lin Yinping's queen mother, she has no authority, but she can make people dare not bully me easily." β
Xu Beiyou asked, "Emperor Xiao seems to have expected this day a long time ago?"
Qin Mumian's face was a little gloomy, "Maybe, I just felt very abrupt at the time, after all, as long as he is alive for a day, no one will trouble me without opening his eyes, so why bother doing this, and then I figured it out a little, he may feel that he will not live long, and he began to arrange the future in advance." β
For a great cultivator of the Earth Immortal Realm, ten years is indeed not too long.
It's just that Xu Beiyou doesn't quite understand one thing, since Emperor Xiao had foreseen that his life was short ten years ago, why he didn't have too many arrangements for the new emperor's accession to the throne, and almost let go of the Blue Han party struggle and the Xu family's affairs, if he was willing to arrange it in advance, I am afraid that there would not be such a big storm in the twenty years of peace.
Qin Mumian saw what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I don't understand what happened during that time, let an emperor who can overwhelm the head of the Dao Sect die in a hurry, maybe only Lin Yinping knows, but she is no longer alive." β
Xu Beiyou was silent.
Qin Mumian lowered his head and looked at the plate of moon cakes, and said hoarsely: "It's funny, the last time the two of us met alone was on September 20 of the fifth year of Da Zheng Jianwen, the location was Laoshan Taiqing Palace in Qizhou, at that time he was about to ascend the throne, and he also had some thoughts about wanting the blessings of Qi people, so he came to test my meaning, I told him, I was tired, I don't want to fight, let's make a break, he asked me how I planned to break it, I said that I don't get along with each other in the future, don't come to me again in the future, I won't come to you again." β
Speaking of this, Qin Mumian suddenly smiled, but it was a little desolate, "I still remember his expression at that time, with a blue face, he didn't say anything for a long time, but he didn't force me, and finally just waved his hand, but still didn't say half a word." β
Xu Beiyou asked cautiously, "And then?"
Qin Mumian said softly: "No more, that is the last time we will be alone." In fact, in retrospect, there is nothing unforgettable and rotten between the two of us, originally I didn't care much about him, but one day, I suddenly found that he became another woman, I felt unhappy, I am a character who never admits defeat, and always feels that I have to take it back, but I don't know that this road is a road of no return, let me fall deeper and deeper, inexplicably entangled, in fact, no one has promised anything, just like a confused account, how to break it can't be clear, at that time I didn't want to continue to be confused, what about him, and there was no way to give me a sober, so I had to let this confused account become a bad debtγ In the end, he could only take his Yangguan Road, and I took my single-plank bridge, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. β
gγThe first HI sent "$."
Xu Beiyou was a little speechless.
He has not experienced love, so he does not understand love.
It's just that he still heard Aunt Qin's unrelieved feelings, maybe what he can't get is the best, and the Xiao Huang who is no longer alive has become a knot in her heart that she can't untie.
Qin Mumian said faintly: "If you insist on saying that there is anything else, then, in addition to the edict that named me the imperial concubine, and then when he won the battle of Dingding and broke the Jiangdu, he brought Lin Yinping to see me and Tang Shengyue, and allowed Tang Shengyue to inherit the Taoism of the White Lotus Sect, and told me to make a final account of the past, after the Jiangnan war is over, the two of them will return to the imperial capital, and this Jiangnan is afraid that it will not come again." We haven't seen each other since. β
Xu Beiyou sighed: "It's been thirty years, why is this so?"
Qin Mumian turned his head and smiled, " In the winter of the first year of Chengping, that year's heavy snowfall, it rained for three days and three nights in a row, after the snow stopped, I went to Meishan, which was already white, and looked at the imperial mausoleum, people are old, and they are not as reserved as the little girl, you might as well say it clearly, in fact, I have always wanted to see him, but because I had already said no words, I couldn't put down my face, I didn't have a chance, and I couldn't make up my mind, I always felt that tomorrow could be restored to tomorrow, so I delayed it day by day. β
Qin Mumian's face showed a rare touch of tenderness, "It's okay if you don't see him, so that you can always remember his heroic appearance when he was young, and save yourself from being frightened by his decaying appearance when he gets old......."
Qin Mumian's voice became lower and lower, and it gradually became inaudible.
Her whole being was already immersed in her own memories.
Xu Beiyou took a piece of moon cake and quietly got up and left.
As the night deepened, Qin Mumian came back to his senses and looked around blankly, as if he didn't know where he was, as if he didn't know that he was a guest in his dream.
She slowly closed her eyes with some regret, as if she had just had a big dream, and whispered: "It shouldn't be like this, if you can have a chance to do it all over again......"
