Chapter 42: Monarchy and Theocracy
(Ask for clicks, collections, recommendations, brothers!Look at the collection, at least clicks shouldn't be so weak, bother brothers to support it!)
Being disturbed like this, the two of them were not in the mood to continue to visit the lantern festival, and silently walked left and right through the crowded streets, entered another more secluded side street, and stopped in front of a small inn with festive red lanterns.
The inn was quiet, only the old shopkeeper dozed off at the porter, and the sound of the two pushing the door was not enough to wake him up. There are no shadows of half of the guys and guests in the inn, so I think it's time to sneak away to the street lamp market to play.
Li Shidao coughed lightly, and the old shopkeeper opened his eyes, and the old eyes looked at the two of them dizzily.
Li Shidao said: "Shopkeeper, the two of us are a little hungry, let's have some good wine and food." ”
"Wait, you two, I'll tell the kitchen to do it. The old shopkeeper answered, turned around and went to the back kitchen.
The two sat down by the window, Li Shidao poured a cup of tea for Shi Qingxuan and himself, and saw that she was still wearing a veil, and couldn't help laughing: "There are no outsiders here now, so you don't need to bring this veil, don't you think it's inconvenient?"
Shi Qingxuan smiled slightly, stretched out her slender jade hand to take off the veil, and said casually: "I met Xie Hui and the Xie family earlier, and I have been begging me to play a song for them, but Qingxuan has always refused to agree. ”
Li Shidao picked up the tea and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with you wearing a veil? Even if you wear a veil, you still make people entangled, can you still completely change your appearance!?"
Shi Qingxuan sighed: "That's why Qingxuan doesn't really want to set foot in the outside world!"
"You, you're choking!"
Shi Qingxuan smiled faintly, picked up the tea and took a sip gently, the tea leaves in the small inn are naturally not good tea, but at this time, there is a bit of other charm outside.
After a while, the wine and food were served by the chef in the back kitchen, and the hot and fragrant meals were placed on the table, full of color, flavor and flavor, and it was impossible to see that the chef of a small inn was still so good at cooking.
Li Shidao picked up the chopsticks and ate them slowly, but when he saw that Shi Qingxuan only tasted two chopsticks, he put them down, watched the meal quietly, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and said, "Could it be that my eating appearance is too ugly, and you have no appetite?"
Shi Qingxuan shook his head with a smile and said, "These dishes have been refined through multiple processes, and the taste is a bit strong for me, but it is not as delicious as the essence of the ingredients, and it has nothing to do with you." And your food looks elegant and natural, how can it be ugly?!"
Li Shi Daojun's face flushed, and he nodded: "Elegant and natural, you shouldn't be changing the law to belittle me, right?"
Shi Qingxuan shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said with a light smile: "If you are so suspicious, Qingxuan can't take you." ”
The two of them looked at each other, and they both had a wonderful feeling, as if this meal had brought the two sides closer together. However, Shi Qingxuan was still a little taboo, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding his gaze, looking at the lively streets, there were more people passing by than before, but they were still not as lively as the streets next door.
After talking and laughing, the two asked for two rooms here and stayed on the second floor.
It was late at night, and the people who had had had enough of playing finally felt tired, and went home in twos and threes, the vendors packed up their things and left, and those out of town went back to their rented rooms to rest, and soon, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the noise was gone.
Li Shidao silently condensed his true qi in the room, suddenly, his ears moved slightly, opened his eyes, and glanced at the roof.
After thinking about it, he pushed open the window, jumped slightly, and his figure spun in the air, silently falling onto the roof full of tiles.
The moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival sprinkled on the earth through the green clouds, and in the silent atmosphere, the elegant and fairy-like beauty sat alone, bending her legs, holding the jade flute in her left hand, and supporting her chin in her right hand, silently looking at the bright moon in the sky.
The gentle moonlight dyed her bright and brilliant, facing the side of Li Shidao but not in the dark, emphasizing her graceful silhouette and posture, forming a beautiful picture of a delicate and moving female body and the gentle moonlight blending into one.
Looking at this inexplicably sad scene, Li Shidao couldn't help but sigh softly: "Can't you sleep?"
"Hmm. ”
Shi Qingxuan lowered his head lightly and said softly: "Even if you still have a little conscience, you know to come and see people." ”
Li Shidao was slightly stunned, the friendship of these words was obvious, when did Shi Qingxuan become so straightforward.
"Come and sit down, I want to talk to you for a while. ”
Her voice is soft and gentle, the breathing sound between words is like a microwave, and the sweet voice itself has a strong sense of music, not to mention that on such a warm moonlit night, Li Shidao came to sit down beside her.
Shi Qingxuan raised his head, and said lightly with fragrant lips: "I don't know why, this lively world always makes me feel unnatural, and I feel very uncomfortable, I almost jumped off the windowsill just now, and I just walked back to the secluded forest valley." “
Li Shidao sat beside her, as long as he moved forward a little, he could touch her body, and he looked sideways, like a jade face that blended light and darkness was even more beautiful, his bright eyes looked forward to Shengyan under his slender and curved eyebrows, and when his lips opened and closed, two lovely pear sockets naturally appeared on the cheeks, and his long and beautiful neck was even more curved, and his snow skin was exposed.
Listening to her at such a close distance, as if she was blowing and whispering to herself, and like an unfathomable breeze blowing in the distance, Li Shidao had the urge to hug her into his arms and kiss her lips lightly.
Seeing that he didn't react at all, Shi Qingxuan was slightly annoyed, slapped his slender hand on his shoulder, and said with a little anger: "Dumb bird!"
Li Shidao's heart fluttered, where did he still understand the palpitations of the beauty, his heart was slightly ruthless, and he clumsily stretched out his hand to hold the beauty's slender waist. When his palm touched Shi Qingxuan's waist, he clearly felt that her body suddenly shook, and then, he acquiesced to his behavior, and leaned his body over, resting his head on his shoulder.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, big and round, the night sky is full of stars, mysterious and vast, the beauty is in her arms, the elegant fragrance rushes into the nose, and the soft and gentle body leans on his arms.
Shi Qingxuan's gentle and pure voice came into his ears, waking him up from his joy, and said: "Do you know? I rejoice in the night, and I always don't want to sleep, with the sorrow of the twilight that alternates between day and night, and then enter the deep silence, whether it can be a brilliant starry sky, or a dark night with bitter wind and rain, or like the moonlight tonight, a beautiful scenery that makes people think, how beautiful it feels. ”
Li Shidao's heart was full of joy, he looked down at the beauty in his arms, only to see that she was staring at the night sky, the moonlight sprinkled on her face, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but say softly: "There are many beautiful scenery in the world, mountains and mountains, lakes and seas, deserts and Gobi, exotic grasslands, overseas countries, as long as you want to go, I am willing to take you to enjoy them one by one." ”
Shi Qingxuan raised her head to meet his gaze, and then sighed shyly: "You will coax others!"
"I didn't lie to you. ”
Li Shidao hugged the beautiful woman in his arms tightly, with infinite affection, "This world is so big, but no one or anywhere can stop me, you can go wherever you want, as long as you want!"
A trace of emotion and blush appeared on Shi Qingxuan's face, she lowered her pretty face, stared at the jade flute in her hand that was lying across her legs, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "I'm scared!"
Li Shidao was stunned and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Shi Qingxuan glanced at him with a raised face, and said with a slight annoyance: "Of course I'm afraid of myself, are I afraid of you?
Li Shidao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What is there to be afraid of?"
Shi Qingxuan smiled sweetly, the small wine vortex with jade cheeks was deeper and more charming, and said a little playfully: "I won't talk about the reason for this, Qing Xuan wants to ask you a question now, if you are willing to recruit from the truth, maybe Qing Xuan will be willing to tell you this secret." ”
Li Shidao enjoyed the rare clever and tricky style of a beautiful woman, and said with a smile: "Then please ask Qingxuan for your advice." ”
Shi Qingxuan looked at him for a long time, and then said seemingly casually: "Have you ever been tempted by the concubine?"
Li Shidao never expected this to be this question, and he was caught off guard and said, "This is what you want to ask?"
Shi Qingxuan's beautiful eyes sparkled, she got up and broke away from Li Shidao's embrace, and said with a frowning eyebrow: "Just look at your posture like this, Qingxuan already knows the answer, you don't need to say it!"
Li Shidao hurriedly explained: "Concubine Xuan is indeed a rare strange woman in the world, with good looks and talents, but I only have admiration and vigilance for her, as well as pity, and I have never involved the love of children." ”
Shi Qingxuan said curiously: "It's easy to understand appreciation, but where does pity and vigilance come from?"
Li Shidao replied with a straight face: "A good girl, but she was taught by Cihang Jingzhai who behaved badly to become a so-called 'world' person, shouldn't she be pitied?
"Why do you say that Cihang Jingzhai, it is the leader of the righteous path martial arts, and no one on the rivers and lakes is disrespectful!" Hearing Li Shidao say this, Shi Qingxuan was a little unhappy because of his mother.
Li Shidao didn't vomit or be unhappy, "Cihang Jingzhai is righteous and selfless when he talks about it, giving people a kind of compassionate influence. But in fact, they are not using the idea of 'divine authority of the monarch' to eliminate dissidents and strengthen the power of themselves and Buddhism! By selecting the 'Son of Heaven' and helping them unify the world, they are confirming again and again the superb status of the throne they have bestowed on the 'Son of Heaven' and making themselves more and more sacrosanct. In the long run, they will be able to rise above the throne, and no Dao Gate and Demon Gate will be inferior to them. ”
"You're a bit biased. Shi Qingxuan sighed.
Li Shidao said: "Speaking of Cihang Jingzhai, I still think there is something even stranger!"
Shi Qingxuan asked curiously: "Oh, what is it?"
"Where did all the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai come from? ”
