Chapter Eighty-Four: A Shocking Secret

Zhou Yi came back to his senses leisurely, put the Xuanyuan Sword behind his back, and slowly walked to Mengyan's side. Seeing her tears hanging on her cheeks, like an old man who confided in each other's hearts.

Nai bowed down and asked, "There is a saying, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Mengyan immediately stroked his hand to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, smiled, and said: "For more than 20 years, no one has ever talked to me about my heart...... It's yours who have been reunited for a long time!"

"If there is any offense between words, please atone for your sins!" Zhou Yi bowed and bowed, and then asked, "This place is deserted, and it is inconvenient for you to move, how can you live here alone for more than 20 years?"

Meng Yan slowly raised her head, looked at Zhou Yi, put her hand on the piano, and plucked three or two strings, "You can only ask this question now, I'm already very content!" She turned her head and looked at the endless lotus pond in front of her, blowing like an orchid, "It's not a secret, I've been twenty-four years since I can remember, my age, name, and how long I've been paralyzed in these legs have always been a mystery." When I was a child, I had a mute mother-in-law and a child who stayed with me, and I relied on them to take care of me. However, his mother-in-law died thirteen years ago, and the child left here that year. I thought I would die alone, but then I went up the mountain and we became the best sisters, until now. ”

Listening to her words, Zhou Yi couldn't help nodding and lamenting, probably because of how difficult it was and how sad her life was. Mengyan didn't care, this kind of encounter was an unimaginable blow to outsiders, but she had been paralyzed for more than 20 years, and she had long been accustomed to living with inferiority in this loneliness.

"There are some questions that you didn't ask on the surface, but I want to tell you them all. ”

Zhou Yi hurriedly said: "I came here because I was bewitched by some people, and since there is no one else here, the answer I want is not here." ”

Dream said: "I only know one or two things about your purpose from now on, if some confusion can't be solved, the mustard in your heart can't disappear, and we can't become honest friends!"

When Zhou Yi heard her say this, she couldn't help sighing, "The girl has such a mind, let Zhou Yi ...... I'm ashamed!"

Mengyan's face was expressionless, his thoughts were slightly raised, and that heart-wrenching childhood memory immediately came to mind, "Because my mother-in-law is mute, she asked the child to teach me to read and write." But she was very strict, and the child did not dare to say a word to me except for reading and writing. At this time, she smiled bitterly, "I thought that all the mysteries would leave this world with me, but the death of my mother-in-law thirteen years ago has resurfaced those problems that have plagued me for many years." The child told me that my parents used to be a pair of chivalrous men who traveled the rivers and lakes, and they lived a carefree life with both nights and flights! Later, when the world was in turmoil, many people in the rivers and lakes secretly took refuge in the powerful ministers of the imperial court in order to protect themselves, and did many things that violated the morality of the rivers and lakes for them. My father did not want to be with this generation, so he came to the Taihang Mountain area, and since then he has been hidden in the mountains and forests! At that time, it happened that my mother was already pregnant. ”

Her eyes were red, her eyes were looking straight into the distance, and she was in a daze, as if the son who was still a stranger next to her was still an acquaintance who got along day and night.

"Not long after my mother gave birth to me, a Taoist priest suddenly came to the door. The boy said that he was my father's best brother...... Unexpectedly, he actually ...... They killed both my parents and pierced my legs with poisonous needles!" Mengyan's voice choked and shook her head in pain and difficulty, "My mother entrusted me to my dumb mother-in-law on her deathbed, and my mother-in-law fled with me and the child all the way to escape the pursuit of that evil way. Later, by mistake, we arrived at this Taiji Mountain. ”

She changed her words, stared at her eyes and smiled coldly, "People are watching the sky, God always opens his eyes, I didn't expect that this is the Guanyu of the evil way! The mother-in-law was angry and threw arsenic in all the wells of this Taoist temple, and none of the wicked man and his apprentices were spared!"

Speaking of this, the long-suppressed hatred in her heart gradually relieved, and she sighed, but she didn't know where to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of her parents!

Zhou Yi felt the same way, and gritted his teeth at the wicked man. However, while he sighed and lamented what happened to Mengyan, he did not forget the purpose of his visit. If it is unquestionable for him to shift his suspicious gaze to Cang Jia, then it is also doubtful that Dongguo Xiu deliberately led him to doubt Yu Guangling. After all, what Mengyan said is conclusive, this Taiji Peak has been isolated from the world as early as twenty years ago, and what Dong Guo Xiu said about chasing the man in black here is even more nonsense!

He was uncertain, but Mengyan didn't see it at all, so he continued: "When that wicked man was alive, he harmed the people in this area a lot, and he also made many enemies in the rivers and lakes. In order to prevent the world from coming to his door, he asked his disciples to spread rumors in the village that the mountain was haunted. Coupled with the unique geographical characteristics of Taiji Mountain and the gossip formations he arranged, people no longer dare to go up the mountain without permission. Over time, it has become an inaccessible barren mountain. After I became sensible, I often asked my mother-in-law to take me out, but my mother-in-law never agreed, she was full of fear and hatred for the outside world, and the deceit of the world had made her embark on this road of no return! Since then, I have often seen him in my dreams, he is very kind, and he will tell me all the stories of that child, and I will compile it into the current "Dream Words". I told my mother-in-law about this, and she thought it was a good omen, so she left the couplet on both sides of the torii in front of the door. ”

Mengyan said eloquently, and couldn't help but be full of joy and sorrow, "What the son wants to investigate, and what I know, it's all here." You are a man with lofty ambitions, I am a daughter with a poor physique, and if you can come, I will be very content!"

Zhou Yi's expression was gloomy, and she became more and more sympathetic to her plight. So he hugged his fists and bowed, "When you and I meet for the first time, the girl can tell each other frankly, and Zhou Yi's awe of the girl is irreparable." It's not early today, I'll send you back to rest!"

Meng Yan nodded slightly, looked at him sideways, remembered the scene when Zhou Yi pulled her in the evening, and she still remembered it in her heart, the so-called skin kiss, that's it!

==***==

After sending Mengyan back, Zhou Yi slipped out alone. In the courtyard of the deep house, the bright moon is in the sky, thinking of the women I have always known, I can't help but sigh at the moon!

The next morning, when Zhou Yi woke up, he saw that he was on the railing of a stone pavilion, wearing the windbreaker that Mengyan wore yesterday, looking left and right, and there was no one, thinking that he fell asleep in a trance here last night, and then Mengyan must have come.

was wondering, the slave happened to pass by, and saw that he was holding Mengyan's windbreaker, so he walked over.

"Hey, why are you holding your sister's clothes?

Zhou Yi was dazed by her uncertain personality, and she didn't know how to reply to her for a while.

"Oh, Miss Mengyan landed here last night, and I was about to send it over. ”

The slave snatched it over, gave him a blank look, and said in a pinched tone: "Your Mengyan girl asked me to invite you to dinner!"

With that, he turned and left.

Zhou Yi shook his head and sighed shortly, thinking that although this girl is unforgiving, her heart is not bad, and if she is not by her side, I don't know how bitter it will be.

After breakfast, Zhou Yi had something to ask Mengyan, but it was difficult to speak in front of the slave, so he said to her, "Can I talk to the girl about a few private matters?"

The slave pouted, snorted, and turned to leave.

Meng Yan smiled: "What can't you say in front of her? Although the slave is straight-hearted, he is indeed a sincere person, and he can distinguish between black and white, and can distinguish right from wrong, as long as you give her a trace of kindness, she will repay you a hundred times." ”

Zhou Yi thanked respectfully: "What the girl said is, it's just that what I want to ask about is a private matter from my childhood, and I'm afraid that something will be wrong when I call the slave!"

Only then did Meng Yan know what he was going to ask, his face immediately froze, and there was a look of disdain in his eyes, "I only know about the conspiracy trap that your Zhou family encountered, but I don't care about the good marriage of Zhou Gongzi." Yesterday you said that you have a deep blood feud, and I respect your upright temperament, so you are a confidant. If you're here just looking for a lost marriage, I have nothing to say!"

As he spoke, he turned the wheel and walked towards the lotus pond in the backyard.

Looking at her weak appearance, I didn't expect that she had such a cold side, which really surprised Zhou Yi. He took a deep breath and hurriedly followed.

The lotus pond in the backyard looks like a different scenery during the day. Zhou Yi was absent-minded, followed Mengyan around a few times, bypassed a few arch bridges, and saw an ocean of sky after day, with lotus leaves, like midsummer. At the end of the stone bridge is an attic, just in the depths of the lotus, and the dream said: "Zhou Yi, please help me over, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, it's quiet here, I'll go and rest for a while." ”

Zhou Yi was wondering in his heart, hearing her say this, he was willing to serve, but when he helped her up, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He immediately thought that Mengyan could read through the past and the present in one dream, and it could be seen that there must be something strange about it.

While he was thinking, Mengyan lay down in a rocking chair, covered his face with silk, and fell asleep in a moment. Zhou Yi walked up to her, shouted softly twice, and saw that she was sleeping deeply, so he quietly slipped back and went straight to Mengyan's boudoir.

Zhou Yi was careful, thinking that Mengyan was lonely and miserable, and when he was bored, he mostly wrote "Dream Yanlu", if he could find other books, wouldn't what he asked for be true? Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, the slave was burning spices in the room. Both of them were startled, and Zhou Yi hurriedly defended: "Mengyan fell asleep by the lotus pond, it was windy there, I came to get a piece of clothing." ”

The slave rolled over him, turned and walked out the door.

After calling the slave away, Zhou Yi was busy rummaging in her room, searching for the desk and bookcase, but found nothing. Eventually, under her bedside pillow, twenty-three books were turned out, all of which were titled "Dream Words".

Zhou Yi panicked in his heart, and looked through it as quickly as a thief, and sure enough, what was recorded in those books was related to him, and it was not bad at all. Zhou Yi was secretly surprised, and found the first volume, which read:

Han fell in love with Zhou Yuyide, married Zhang, gave birth to two sons, and Han fell ill. In the next year, the Han family gave birth to a daughter and died, and Guangling was angry and hidden. More than a year, the world congratulates, and the scenery is in Baihe Mountain. Guangling was angry because of the Han family, and jealous because the court loved him for two weeks, so he had a bad heart. Hawk is the son of Zhou Qing, Guangling won two or three dead soldiers with gold and silver, broke into Baihe Mountain at night and killed Zhou Sheng, and the Zhou family was defeated!
