Chapter 47: Hyacinth

There are many young ladies like Hyacinth in General Feng's mansion, if it was before she became a boy of the national teacher, he might not have known that the general had such a daughter, and even if he knew that there was such a person, he would not have any impression in his heart, just a name. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he knew the name Hyacinth, it was when she became a national teacher boy, and the national teacher went to the general's mansion in person and said that he wanted to accept Hyacinth as a festival child. There are rumors in the house that the general did not directly agree to come down at that time, but recommended several children to the national teacher, but Zhengyuan national teacher did not change his original intention, and still insisted on accepting Hyacinth. In the days when Hyacinth was a festival boy, everyone talked about her name, and everyone who didn't know her before looked for her from a distance.

As time passed, everyone found that this hyacinth was not extraordinary, as before, dim, and everyone didn't understand how Zhengyuan Guoshi could fall in love with her. There were rumors in the general's mansion that the general had summoned Hyacinth once, and then he had never summoned him again, as if he had forgotten it.

The guards standing next to the carriage were brave, and they entered the general's mansion as a slave at the age of eight, and they didn't know who their parents were. After hearing Hyacinth's words, he couldn't help but look at this young lady with some surprise, who had never been anything special.

"Miss, he's a monster, not a national teacher, don't let anyone hear this. The sword guard felt a faint insistence from Hyacinth's words, this kind of thought he felt was very dangerous, and it might bring trouble to the General's Mansion, he reminded, it could be regarded as a warning, lest she see the current national teacher and say such things again, and cause trouble to the General's Mansion.

Hyacinth retracted her gaze at the head of the city, glanced at the blade, and said: "Uncle Dao, when I was a child, I heard my mother tell me about Uncle Dao's courage to kill the enemy when the general was attacked, and Uncle Dao was wounded in more than 37 places, and finally protected the general's safety. During that attack, three of the guards were bribed, five escaped, and only one of the generals was dead at the entrance to a cave. Her voice was soft and soft, but she spoke smoothly without the slightest hint of stuttering. She paused, and then continued, "When I was a child, I always wondered what it was that made Uncle Dao guard the entrance of the cave at the entrance of the cave without regard for his life, Uncle Dao, can you tell me?"

There was a smile on Blade's stiff face, and he didn't know if it was because he was in a better mood or what, but he noticed that the eyes of the girl sitting in the carriage in front of him, with a corner of the blue curtain lifted, were so clear that he could even see his reflection in her black eyes like paint.

He withdrew his gaze that looked directly into Hyacinth's eyes, bowed his head slightly, and said, "It was the general who took me in and gave me everything, and my life naturally belongs to the general." He said it firmly, and he said it naturally.

"Yes, the general gave Uncle Dao everything, so Uncle Dao can give up his most precious life for the general, but what about me?" Hyacinth looked sideways at the former Tianyuan National Teacher Zhengyuan Zhenren who was hanging at the head of the city.

"Miss, the general is your father, and your life belongs to the general. Blade replied quickly, and in a much louder voice, as if he understood the meaning of Hyacinth's words.

Hyacinth didn't answer quickly, thinking that she was thinking, still looking at the city, the blade's knife-like eyes fell on the face of this ordinary-looking girl with warm eyebrows in front of him, in his heart, the lady who was always quietly entering and leaving the side door of the General's Mansion in front of him was already changing.

After a while, Hyacinth whispered again: "Uncle Knife, you see that verbena is blooming!"

Blade looked sideways at the side of the road, there was a small green grass with small purple flowers growing in a bush, the lilac flowers were not conspicuous, if it weren't for Hyacinth, he wouldn't have noticed that there was such a small grass quietly blooming in this season when the flowers had already bloomed. He frowned slightly, and heard Hyacinth say in his ear: "Uncle Dao, do you say that she is alive?" Without waiting for Blade to answer, she continued: "Many people say that fish and birds are living beasts, but few people say that flowers and trees are life. The national teacher said that flowers, birds, fish, insects, trees, birds and beasts can be enlightened, and they have the opportunity to become demons and goblins, I have not seen these, and I don't know whether they are true or false, but Shi Guoshi once said that in fact, people also need to be enlightened. Uncle Dao said that your life belongs to the general, and that is because Uncle Dao feels that it is the general who has given you a new life, which is the opening of the spirit. ”

When she said this, she had gently lowered the cyan curtain, and the blade stood still, but she heard a soft voice from inside the carriage: "And the fire of my life was lit for me by the national teacher." ”

Blade took a deep look at the carriage, as if he saw the girl with warm eyebrows and eyes, but exceptionally clear eyes, sitting motionless. Without further pause, he waved his hand, and the carriage went forward, all the way through the streets of the city, into the palace.

In the evening, the carriage came out of the palace. Leaving the inner city and returning to the general's mansion, Blade took Hyacinth to the general's study again. But it didn't take long for Hyacinth to come out, still led by Blade, and return to her quarters the same way she came. The place where she lived was a small remote courtyard in the west of the entire General's Mansion, and there was an old mother in her forties cleaning it.

"Mama Wang!" Hyacinth shouted with a smile.

The royal mother immediately put down her broom and greeted her, shouting, "Miss, you are back." He shouted again to the Commander of the Sword, and saluted him.

The blade belongs to the general's personal guard, and all the guards of the general's mansion are under his control, so the people in the general's mansion call him the commander of the sword. After he nodded, he said to Hyacinth, "Miss, I will send someone to guard here, just tell them to do something." ”

He said that he saluted completely, and then turned to leave, Hyacinth looked back at the back of the blade in the distance, but Wang Ma's face changed greatly, and she said in horror: "Miss, master, he, he ......"

"It's okay, Mother Wang. ”

"But, but ......"

Hyacinth had already walked inside, the ordinary gray dress fluttered slightly in the wind, the waist was slender, the shoulders were thin, the long black hair was draped over the shoulders, walking in the wind, although it was not happy, there was no hesitation and pause.

The night in the general's mansion was exceptionally quiet, because the general was in a bad mood, dropped several of his beloved vases, and beat his favorite concubine. And the reason why the general was angry was because Hyacinth, who was originally accepted as a festival boy by Zhengyuan National Teacher, rejected the current National Teacher Mu Ling Zhenren.

The brightly lit General's Mansion slowly dimmed, until finally there was only a courtyard in the northwest corner that was still bright, and in that bedroom, there was a girl on the desk in front of the window copying "Morality", which was the homework assigned to her by Zhengyuan Zhenren.

A vertical and beautiful small block flowed out of her pen, and the bamboo piece was written: "I have three treasures, hold on to them." One is kindness, the second is thrifty, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness can be brave, thrift can be broad, dare not be the first in the world, so can be long. ......”

She wrote this, looked up, and looked out the window at the pitch black.

Wang Ma brought tea and pastries, looked at Hyacinth and said: "Miss, why are you so troubled, whether the Zhengyuan National Teacher is a monster or not, he is already a monster now, Mu Ling Zhenren is now a national teacher, and his mana is vast, if you offend him, our General's Mansion will also have a big disaster." ”

Hyacinth didn't look back, and Wang Ma said again: "Although the lord is not very good to the eldest lady and the young lady, but if there is no general's mansion, there will be no young lady." ”

Wang Ma is the dowry girl of Hyacinth's mother, and the eldest lady she is talking about is Hyacinth's mother.

"Wang Ma, I know, don't worry, the General's Mansion will be fine, the master of the national teacher is a real moral cultivator, as long as he comes, he will be fine. Hyacinth said.

"However, after so many days, why hasn't it come yet, the incense has already burned out. Wang Ma pointed to a gray incense burner on a table in the corner of the room. There were only three short wooden sticks left in the incense burner, the sticks were yellow, made of some kind of tree heart, and there were mysterious runes on them.

Hyacinth also looked at the incense burner, and quietly did not answer, and the queen mother quietly withdrew.

On the second day, the Great King of Tian Yuan summoned the general into the palace, but he did not return until the evening, and no news came out. Suddenly, the people in the house became uneasy. There have been bad remarks circulating in the past that Miss Xin'er has offended the national teacher and may cause trouble for the general.

That night, many people came to Hyacinth's residence, hoping that she would ask for a national teacher, and everyone thought that this situation was caused because she had offended the national teacher.

Most of those who came to her were the wives and concubines of the generals.

"Do you know what Miss Xin'er is doing?" whispered in some dark corner.

"What are you doing?"

"She's copying books?"

At this time, she was still in the mood to copy books, but she didn't know what was going on, the general's mansion was about to be in a catastrophe, and she still copied books, and she didn't look at who made her worry about food and clothing. ”

"Yes, I usually look at her quiet and well-behaved appearance, but I don't seem to be so ignorant. ”

"I see, this is the magic of a youkai. ”

"How?"

"Look, a girl who was originally good, but after following the monster national teacher, she became like this, didn't she fall for the witchcraft?"

"I heard that Miss Xin'er always says that it's not a monster, you see, he's a monster and many people have seen it, if it weren't for the national teacher using a rune to calm down, he would have run away a long time ago, maybe he would have gone somewhere to harm people. ”

......

At dawn, when the people of the General's Mansion were about to go out, they found that the gate was already full of guards guarding the palace, and they were only allowed to enter but not to go out.

At this time, even the old lady couldn't sit still, and after sending someone to investigate, she didn't get any news, so she also came to the small courtyard in the northwest corner of the general's mansion.

"Xin'er, grandma knows that over the years, she has indeed taken less care of your mother, but after all, it is to let you two have no worries about food and clothing, and you don't have to show up to earn life money like those peasant girls, you are a literate girl's family, you should understand this reason, right?"

"Grandma, I understand. Hyacinth looked at the silver-haired grandmother in front of her, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

As she said, although she didn't feel a trace of warmth in the General's Mansion and suffered a lot of cold eyes, the General's Mansion finally provided her with food, clothing and shelter.

"Then tell grandma, what's going on, why did you refuse the national teacher, why didn't you agree to him, aren't you all the Taoist children of whom?" The old lady's voice was not loud, but a little low, but it seemed very deep, as if she wanted to stuff her thoughts into Hyacinth's heart.

Hyacinth was silent, and after a long while, he said, "He wants me to cut off the head of the national teacher, and he also teaches me to practice." ”

The old lady was silent for a while, and then said in a low and slow voice: "Isn't the Zhengyuan National Teacher already determined that it is a monster, and this can be regarded as eliminating harm for the country." ”

Hyacinth shook her head.

The old lady didn't seem to see it, and continued: "What's wrong with teaching you to practice, this is something that many people can't ask for in their lifetime. ”

"No, no, grandma, the Zhengyuan National Master is not a monster, the Wood Spirit National Master is a monster, the cultivation exercises he wants to teach me are not any kindness at all, he wants to use me as a furnace to refine the human pill, and finally eats me, so as to help him form an inner pill and form a human. ”

The old lady's face was surprised, and after a long while, she said: "These are just your guesses, if he is a monster, how can you see it." ”

"These are all things that Zhengyuan National Master told me after the Wood Spirit National Master came to the royal city. Hyacinth said quickly.

"His words are not credible, he is a monster, Xin'er, you have to think clearly, the lives of more than 300 people in the General's Mansion are in your thoughts, if, if, he just wants your body, it is better to give it to him, and the people in the entire General's Mansion will read your good. ”

Hyacinth was shocked in her heart, looking at the old lady, her eyes were covered with an incredible mist.

The old lady got up slowly with a dove cane, didn't look at her, walked towards the door, paused at the door again, and said slowly: "The life and death of everyone in the General's Mansion is in your thoughts. ”

Hyacinth watched the old lady who looked older and older after only one night leave, and her heart was at a loss. She didn't know what to choose. Slowly walked back to the window and sat down. Subconsciously picked up the pen on the table to copy "Morality", but what was written under the brush in her hand was what Zhengyuan Guoshi said before entering the palace: "If something happens to me, you will light these three pillars of incense, and someone will come within five days." ”

When she finished writing, she suddenly woke up to the fact that it was already pitch black.

The sun in the sky slowly moved to the center, and the weather was hot as if it was about to catch fire. Slowly slid westward again, and when the setting sun stained the heavenly house bloody, the door was opened, and Wang Ma walked in. came to Hyacinth's side and said, "Miss, the old lady sent a message to say that the palace sent a decree to explain the practice of the national teacher ascending the altar during the Tianmao period, and to sacrifice to the sky with demon blood and pray for the blessing of the Tianyuan Kingdom." ”

Hyacinth shook the pen in her hand, and the pen fell on the table and rolled to the ground.

The old lady said that the national teacher had also sent someone to say, please ask the young lady to go to the Xuanji Temple before midnight tomorrow. ”

"Is there any news from the General?" asked Hyacinth.

Nope. After Wang Ma finished speaking, she looked at Hyacinth worriedly, and held back several times when she wanted to speak, and finally quietly retreated.

Hyacinth could know what it meant for the Wood Spirit National Master to send someone to spread the word, and she could be sure that she would be fine if she went to the General's Mansion before midnight tomorrow, and if she didn't go, it might be a disaster of destruction.

She struggled in her heart.

Looking back at the three-pillar incense that had been burned in the corner.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and stars appeared in the sky, but there was no moon, and the sky and the earth were dark.

In the main hall of the general's mansion, the old lady sat on the main seat, and next to her were the big and small stewards in the general's mansion and the general's wives and concubines.

"Why don't we send Miss Xin'er directly to the Xuanji Temple. "It's the Blade Commander who speaks. What he said to send is actually a forced tie-up, and anyone here can understand it.

The old lady shook her head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

She said so, but everyone knew that she would do so in the last minute.

Time is being sucked away bit by bit by the darkness.

Hyacinth began to copy books again, she copied very seriously, and the beautiful little Kai flowed on the tip of the pen.

A gust of wind blew, causing the oil lamp to shake, and she didn't look up, and continued to write: "...... My words are easy to know and easy to do. The world can not know, can not do. There is a sect of words, and there is a king of things. The husband is ignorant, because I don't know. Those who know me hope that I am expensive. It is a saint who is brown and jade. ”

"Good word. ”

Hyacinth's ears suddenly sounded a voice, and the voice was pure. She looked up, and there was already a person under the windowsill in front of her, dressed in a dark golden robe, and her hair tied with a black silk scarf. The eyebrows are delicate, and the whole person looks a little thin, as if floating outside the world. However, what attracted Hyacinth the most were the eyes, which were not large, but narrow. For some reason, Hyacinth felt that his eyes had a sense of rejection, just like the voice of his words, clean and not touching the world.

"You are the Ancestor of Huiyan?"

Hyacinth only reacted immediately, stood up and asked with great joy.

"No, I'm his junior brother, Ruxuan. The voice was still quiet, just like this night, black and pure.

Jin Xiangdi said that the Taoist name of the Lingtai Sect is obscure, and these two names both carry the different intentions of the two teachers.
