Chapter 41: There is no cave
ββββββββββββ
I don't feel that the long coat changes with the night,
The smoke is slanted and the begonia hairpin.
The rhombic window is dark and jagged,
Purple scissors double back to the jade table.
Borrowing the flow of the wind and being annoyed,
The flowers are in the song and the water shadow lingers.
Tongmen half-covered sandalwood cold,
Mo taught Tu to fall asleep.
ββββββββββββ
The lights flickered, and the shadows of the trees blurred.
In a small forest less than half a mile away from the ghost town of Jialan, as Xue Xuchun blurted out a "Yan'er", Yang Ao's brothers and sisters were like falling clouds, quite confused.
Who is Yan'er? Could it be Xue Yu's nickname?
Yang Ao was very stunned by this new name that suddenly appeared, and looked at the people opposite who were swaying a little unreal in the blurred lights.
But the scene in front of me, like a thick and colorful oil painting, is so real.
One of the mountain rocks has been paved with felt, and Xue Xuchun, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes and big ears, is sitting on it. He wears a light-colored scarf, but he ties it with a dark ribbon, which looks very neat and capable. A face with sharp edges, ruddy complexion, thick eyebrows like a sword, and eyes with a bright eye. Under the high bridge of the nose, two mustaches are neatly stroked, a short beard is on the chin, and the tail ends are a little curled, shining under the reflection of warm lights. Dressed in a golden brocade robe, with a wide belt of slightly darker color around his waist, including a bronze beast head about the size of a palm, a long sword and two or three jade pendants hanging on both sides, and a pair of soap boots on his feet.
This outfit, although it has been weathered for a long time, mottled and shabby, can hardly hide the general's demeanor and heroic spirit!
I saw him raise his right hand, caress Xue Yu's back, looked at Yang Ao and said, "Since you have no intention of wearing it, you won't hide it anymore." This is a little girl, nicknamed Yan'er. A few months ago, I was going on a trip. I persuaded her not to stay, so I asked the second elder Songshi to accompany her. Hehe, this disguise is also a last resort-"
"Dad!" Xue Yu, now it should be changed to Yan'er, shyly stopped Xue Xuchun's words, and hid behind him, his face full of red clouds.
When Yang Ao heard this, he was still in a commotion in his head. It all came so suddenly, too unexpectedly.
This young man in a green shirt is actually a daughter! Not to mention walking together, he didn't even see it stupidly, so he said that last night, the two of them were drinking together at the same table, and even slept on a kang! How can a girl's family be casual and arrogant, what kind of system is this!
At the same time, Yang Ruoqing on the side was also unexpected, full of surprise. I thought that Xue Yu, who was handsome and dashing with a folding fan in a green shirt, was a boy, but who knew that he was the same as himself! Thinking back to it, he had a good impression of him before, and he couldn't help but feel hot on his face.
But it's no wonder. Jialan City is already a foreign land in the south, compared with the authoritarian and solidified Haotian City, its folk customs are more simple and natural, and the customs are more open-minded and open, and there are no rules and regulations such as three obedience and four virtues, and there is no need to stick to the red tape of restrictive nature and pedantic. As long as men and women are happy with each other, they can make a private decision for life without the words of a matchmaker. So the "young man in green shirt" didn't think much about it, but he was inevitably a little shy, but in the eyes of Yang Ao's brothers and sisters, it was unreasonable and rude.
Gu Shiyun: Mulan joined the army. The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, and the double rabbit walks on the ground, can Ann tell that I am male and female?
Yan'er, whose real name is Xue Siyan, is the youngest daughter of Xue Xuchun, the head of the Jialan City Mansion and the head of the Jiuxuan Hall, and has an older brother of the same age who is a dragon and phoenix fetus, named Xue Yu.
Xue Siyan is seventeen years old, Su Xi secretly disguises herself, and travels all over the world. This time, she was accompanied by the second elder Songshi, and it was her brother's name and surname that she pretended to have.
Because the brother and sister are born of a dragon and phoenix fetus, and their appearance is almost the same, so if they use their brother's name, they can't tell the difference between the people who don't know it, let alone Yang Ao and others who met for the first time.
You can recall that during the duel on the long street, the masked man first recognized "Xue Yu", and then put a few words on the red-faced Sanji. What the masked man said was exactly his doubts about the Xue Gongzi who suddenly appeared in the city.
We can also go back to the first two days ago, when Yang Ao first met "Xue Yu" at the Mountain Forest Inn, especially the scene of drinking at the same table, I only thought it was a handsome white-faced scholar, but if we think about it carefully, will we find that the "young man in green shirt" has a faint charm between his gestures?
Now, when the Yang Ao brothers and sisters learned that this son, who called himself Xue Yu, was actually the noble lady of Xue Men, the appearance they saw in their eyes seemed to have changed a little.
The two sparse eyebrows are now secretly shy and moving; a pair of eyes that are not moving at all have also turned into beautiful eyes like grapes, full of autumn waves, bright eyes, and the three-dimensional face, which used to be called handsome, can now be described as pretty and smart. Not to mention the white skin like snow, which can be compared to clotted fat, and the small red lips are like red cherry blossoms...... Where is this handsome young man who looks better than Pan An? It is clear that he is alive and alive to get rid of Xizi and return to the soul, and the heavenly girl goes down to earth!
"You're not, Xue Yu, really, what's the matterβ"
Yang Ao was stunned for a long time, and such a sentence came out of his mouth, because he still couldn't accept the facts in front of him.
"Oh, Young Master Yang," Song Henian raised his eight-character white eyebrows, interrupting the stupid boy's incoherent questioning, "I won't tell you, Brother Shi and I have almost exposed our stuffing several times along the way!"
"Butβ"
Yang Ao still wanted to ask a few more words, but was stopped by the other party, and persuaded him to drag him on the horse, "Don't ask now, let's leave quickly, and then settle Uncle Zhang first." β
The crowd didn't say much, put Uncle Zhang on the mule and horse, and hurriedly took advantage of the night to hide in the mountains and forests.
......
After walking for more than ten miles, I came to a hillside covered with green trees. The swordsman named Zhu Liang took the lead and slapped twice at a huge tree that needed to be surrounded by four or five people. I don't know what method he used, but he saw a stone door about a foot wide open in the grass nest next to him, and a stone step slipped under his feet. Look inside, there is a faint yellow light.
"My lord, please!" Zhu Liang bowed, and his demeanor and movements were very respectful.
Xue Xuchun was not polite, turned over and dismounted, and led his daughter Xue Siyan into the stone gate together.
Zhu Liang skillfully led the two mounts, and one of his own, rushed to the side first, nodded to the Yang Ao brothers and sisters, and motioned for the two to dismount and follow.
"This ......" Seeing this, Yang Ao still hesitated a little in his heart, hesitated and did not move, but was slapped by Song Henian behind his back, and persuaded in a low voice: "Young Master Yang, please feel free to enter." This is a secret place in my Xue Gate, and it is guaranteed to be safe. After saying that, he took two more beats.
Yang Ao looked at his sister, the poor little girl was already frightened, and she was at a loss at all, but looked at herself with a pair of watery teary eyes.
Moreover, Uncle Zhang's bones are not cold, and he must be buried, and now there is no other way but to follow the Xue family to continue to move forward.
It's all up to providence!
Thinking of this, Yang Ao secretly gritted his silver teeth, and also dismounted with his sister one after another, and followed the figure in front of him into the strange stone door.
The grass and trees outside are verdant, and the door hole is not very big, but after walking down the stone steps, I found that the inside is very spacious, and there is no cave!
On both sides of the first is a stone wall with obvious artificial traces, on which neat chisel marks are like bamboo plaques and straw mats. Walk through this corridor-shaped corridor and around a tall stone wall, and you'll be greeted by a raging waterfall!
The blue and white water fell rapidly from the overhead, hitting the craggy mountain rocks, splashing bursts of mist, as if scattering gold and silver, and like white jade pearls. Under the waterfall, a pool of water with a square circle of acres is formed, and its color is dark and blue, and it is unfathomable. The waterhole stretched into the distance, hidden behind a huge rock formation, and it was impossible to see where it was going.
Because of the underground torrent and water nourishment, many flowers and vines have grown around the mountain rock, but looking at its shape, it is not like ordinary plants on the ground, some of the stems and veins are slender, faint and shiny, as if there are streams of purple or blue juice flowing in it. Some of the leaves were like needles, and the stems were like balls, and the color was like rubies, like vats full of wine, and like a skin bag full of blood.
There are many lamps and candles planted all around, and the cave is as bright as day. Yang Ao was pondering whether the grass and trees could grow because of the lack of sunlight underground, when he saw the road turning slightly ahead, and the place covered by the mountains and rocks emitted a colorful glow!
I wanted to stop and take a closer look at what was going on in front of me, but I was slapped in the back again. Subconsciously looked back, it was still the old naughty boy Song Crane Nian, with a shy round belly, approached and smiled, "Yang Gongzi!
Seeing that Yang Ao didn't react at all, Song Lao continued: "This is the sacred realm of my Jialan Nine Xuantang, and no one who is blessed will never bring you in. β
"Jiuxuantang?Sacred Domain?" Yang Ao muttered in his heart, what kind of strange thing is this!
"That's good!" Song Henian still patted the eight-foot-tall young man with a tiger's back and said, "It seems that the head of our family is deliberately doing this......"
"What do you mean?"
"Hehe, Yang Gongzi, do you think the first time we met in that small inn, was it by accident or fate?"
"Uh, this-"
"I heard you say, I was hunted down by the enemy before, and then I experienced an adventure and got the two primordial gods of gods and demons, so do you think this is arranged by God, or is it won by yourself?"
"It's, it's-"
Yang Ao was speechless twice in a row, and was almost speechless by Song Henian. But think about it, whether it is the suburbs, escape, or the various encounters along the way, since the torrential rain, I have embarked on a different path.
Is this something we can decide?
"Hehe, don't be too talkative for the old man," Song Henian said as he walked, regardless of whether Yang Ao understood it or not, "Everything in the world is already doomed, and this time is the same!"
