Chapter 18 Cross-section of fate
Shui Ruoshan crossed the threshold of the palace, as soon as she stood still, she felt a strong and suffocating gaze in front of her, she always kept her head down, constantly reminding herself, normal heart, normal heart, she took a deep breath, raised her head with difficulty, the main seat of the hall sat is the person she likes to feel painful, she choked up, but still held tears in her heart.
There is no lamp in the hall, only relying on the soft and dim moonlight, the eyes meet, maybe they are looking forward to something, but maybe they don't even know what they want to expect, just look at each other deeply, one stands stiffly in the wind, the other sits tense in the hall, the eyes are glued, the time is frozen at this moment, the dull silence of the night is terrible, only the light night breeze leads the bits and pieces of memory through the hall.
Stopping in front of Shui Ruoshan was the messy streets of Kyoto, King Yin hugged the picture of Zhiyin gently and comfortingly, heroes and beauties, made in heaven, she even remembered the plum blossom cake that day, a total of six, but none of them were sweet.
King Yin had a moment of distraction, just in the dark night, under the pillar of light poured by the moon, Shui Ruoshan on the high platform relied on his superb piano skills, and played the song of the mournful and lingering dream lovesickness, he thought that the next would be a dance with a strong wind, but found that it was not, but Shui Ruoshan shouted for help, desperately grabbing the hem of her skirt with the people in the audience, and her panicked and embarrassed expression was as clear as that day.
King Yin anxiously interrupted all the memories, fake, everything was fake, except for the living body in front of her, her joy and anger, her smile and smile were all hateful illusions.
"It's back. The cold voice couldn't hide the unusually hoarseness.
Hearing this most simple and ordinary question on weekdays, in an instant, Shui Ruoshan's desperately endured tears gushed out, scrambling to drip to the tips of his feet, and finally became cold, and the sound of clapping was in this quiet and deep night...... Fell into a loud bang.
There was another eerie silence.
Facing each other, but the end of the world is close at hand.
Shui Ruoshan was shocked at this moment that for a long time, there was a sky and a mountain between her and King Yin, and she couldn't cross the sky or climb the mountain. In King Yin's world, she was just a passerby in the end, a passer-by who could barely be called by name because of some value.
"Let's play a game of chess with this king. King Yin got up and sneered, across the empty hall, he saw the bright things on Shui Ruoshan's face, and he only felt more and more disgusted, this play, it's really hard for her to work so hard!
Shui Ruoshan followed King Yin step by step, quietly wiped away her tears, the last night before parting, she still wanted to leave King Yin some good memories, she had forgotten to numb herself with sleep, compared to this, she preferred to accompany King Yin, as long as she was with him, even if it hurt, it hurt, she could also experience a trace of the sweetness she was careful from the bitterness.
Shui Ruoshan pulled the corners of her mouth, squeezing out a smile with difficulty, if she recalled the past in the future, she hoped that he would remember that there was a woman who loved to laugh, on an early winter night, lined with a semi-circular moon, accompanied him to seriously experience the ups and downs in the sea of chess.
This is the side courtyard where Shui Ruoshan lives, there is a stone table in the center of the courtyard, a chessboard has been placed on the table, and there is a colorful porcelain incense burner with wisps of green smoke, you can smell the faint refreshing fragrance when you get close, and there is her favorite plum blossom cake on the table.
Shui Ruoshan's eyes were full of moisture, and he always remembered that she loved to eat.
The two sat down to start the game and were speechless.
Shui Ruoshan kept eating plum blossom cakes, tasting the same as chewing wax, but still pretending to be delicious. She felt that the plum blossom cake she ate was a little heavy, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
King Yin twisted the sunspot lightly, and it didn't fall for a long time, every time he played chess, he insisted on using the sunspot, he hated the white child, too pure, too clear, just like the smile of the water in the past, that was another end that he couldn't touch, and he was extremely opposite to the realm that made him disgusted and disgusted.
The two of them thought about each other, deliberately avoiding certain things, and the atmosphere could no longer find the joy of the past.
Everyone knows, everyone knows, and everyone understands, but no one wants to say it!
"Your Majesty is a little struggling. ”
"Hmm. Shui Ruoshan nodded solemnly. In this way, every time you play chess in the future, you will think of this game that cannot be broken, and think of the person you played against today.
"Shui Ruoshan, why did you come to King Yin's mansion?" King Yin's phoenix eyes stared at the person in front of him fiercely, and his voice was still calm and cold.
He didn't know whether he wanted to hear her confess or if he wanted to hear her continue to lie, he didn't know why he had to ask more at this point, and he didn't know if he would be willing to relent.
When the words fell, Shui Ruoshan trembled for a moment, this was the first time he called her by name and surname like this, she looked up at King Yin urgently, her eyes were burning, her breath was rushing over in one fell swoop, her frantic heartbeat was accompanied by boiling blood, and the screams in her chest were like waves breaking through her body.
Because I like you!
Because I like you!
Because of me, rejoice, rejoice, you!
But in the end, the naughty one turned into a sentence, "Because the eldest brother doesn't dare to be rough in King Yin's mansion!"
King Yin smiled, as if relieved, in this way, he didn't have to be soft.
Shui Ruoshan was stupid, and the night before parting, what was seared in her heart was the shallow smile that was shining brightly on King Yin's peerless face.
Many years later, when Shui Ruoshan looked back on the past, he still clearly remembered King Yin's beautiful smile at the moment, but it was because the heart-piercing pain and despair at that time had already overshadowed the fascination at the moment.
Suddenly, there was a darkness in front of him, Shui Ruoshan fell heavily on the chessboard, swept away the black and white pieces on the ground, and half of the plum blossom cake that he had time to eat fell to the ground and shattered into powder.
Yin Wang Zhong moved his gaze to the chessboard, such a treacherous chess style, how could that water Ruoshan, who was full of stupidity and had a straight intestine, have!
Shui Ruoshan felt that she was shrouded in darkness, the overwhelming darkness, she ran anxiously, but she couldn't see a trace of light, she couldn't see her five fingers, she ran more and more quickly, her breathing was sluggish, one foot stepped on the air, she was heavily planted in the water, unguardedly choked a few mouthfuls of water, the biting cold, through every inch of the body, nailed into the bones, kept sinking, bottomless, the heavy suffocation became clearer and clearer, she suddenly began to wave her limbs indiscriminately, exerting all her strength, struggling to get out of the water.
"Pull it up. A distant undulating sound came into my ears. Cold and lazy, that's her favorite person.
She blinked continuously, trying to get rid of this feeling and see everything in front of her, but found that it was just in vain, there was still water pouring into her eyes, still bringing hot soreness, she stubbornly opened her eyes, the light shone into the water through the water, and in front of her was a distorted and deformed blurred ground. She struggled even harder, and a powerful external force pulled her out of the water, all instincts converged on her mouth and nose, and all that was left was to breathe desperately.
"Wake up. ”
Shui Ruoshan subconsciously followed the prestige, and on the steps in the distance, the person sitting in the dark only showed a pair of golden brocade boots, but she just knew that there was no one else except King Yin.
As her breathing smoothed and her consciousness cleared, her blank brain turned rapidly, and she saw the various execution instruments on the wall, the thick iron fence between her and King Yin, the sewage that was half of her body and the two tall men standing beside her.
She had a lock around her neck, pulling her entire back to the limit, she moved her hands and feet, making a clanging sound, the chains that locked her arms were as thick as her wrists, straightened and pulled to the sides, and her shoulders and arms were sore, and she was even thinking about whether to tear her arms off in such a posture, the toes could not reach the ground, and there was an obvious sense of drape at the ankles, which should be connected with heavy objects, dragging her whole person down, but the weight-bearing arms were stretched straight, there was no room for expansion, she retracted her arms, and the strength of the pull was born under her feet, she followed the gravity under her feet, and the shoulders and arms were alive and tearing the pain of tendons and broken bones, so vacated and hung, she felt that every inch of her flesh was stretched and torn, and it hurt like a hot and burning pain.
Shui Ruoshan calmed down and lifted her breath, but found that her body was empty and weak, she thought of the colorful porcelain incense burner, remembered the tasteless plum blossom cake on the plate, and the weak tears slipped silently, it turned out that he had long known that she knew martial arts.
It turned out that he had been hypocritically perfunctory to himself.
It turned out that he was waiting for the day when he calculated himself.
It turned out that everything about himself was fake.
Shui Ruoshan closed her eyes in disappointment, and let the tears fall quietly, for King Yin, is she too naïve!
