Chapter 19 Fan Wai Er Bi Luo Fu

In a year, I always like the end of spring and the beginning of summer. At that time, the spring flowers spend all their spare energy to bloom for the last time, and the beauty is in full bloom, while the summer flowers are blooming with small pointed buds, waiting leisurely for their full bloom. The time of Hua. I once told my second brother what I wanted to say, and the second brother, who was very similar to my grandfather in terms of appearance and personality, looked at me with his eyes as clear as ice, and finally just spit out a sentence without wave: "Looking shallowly, the prosperity is like brocade, deep looking It's the replacement of decline and prosperity at the junction of death and life, you like it so much..." He stopped when he said this, and only looked at me with his pair of clearest and purest eyes in the world.

It’s the season of blooming flowers again, I strolled alone in the back garden, there is a pool of clear waves in the garden, the waves reflect the blue sky and white clouds and the extremely gorgeous spring flowers, but at this moment, I look at the last of the spring flowers. But it was full of disappointment, thinking about what his father said in the study just now, he couldn't help but frowned. Born in this peaceful and prosperous age, born in this prominent family, it seems that the only thing I can worry about is my life's major events. It is now the first year of the Ancheng Dynasty, and the founding monarch of the country named the Empire after the Dynasty. It has been sixty-four years, and the person on the throne at this moment is his grandson.And I recruited relatives from the 50th year of Yanzhi to the first year of Ancheng, and six years passed like this.

"Xuan'er, you are already twenty-two years old." Father said earnestly. Grandfather Xiao Xuekong came here with Emperor Chaoxi's gold and iron horse. I don't know how much Emperor Zhaoxi favored his grandfather. I only know that after Emperor Zhaoxi died, there was a decree for his grandfather to guard Huazhou.He handed over Huazhou, the richest and most worrying state in the dynasty, to his grandfather, and his grandfather finally lived up to his trust.It has been three generations since the whole family moved from the imperial capital to Huazhou. After the death of my grandfather, my father inherited the position of the capital of Huazhou by virtue of his achievements in the army. Three years ago, my father injured his waist and could no longer ride a horse. Please resign I went up, and what I brought down was the imperial edict of Emperor Yanzhi, allowing the eldest brother to succeed the post of Dadutong. At that time, the eldest brother was fighting bloody battles with the Gulu people on the Mengcheng grassland.

This is unprecedented in the imperial dynasty, and the emperor's trust in the Xiao family for three generations is also unprecedented. The wealth and honor of the Xiao family has been regarded as the sky, except for the royal family of the Tian family. There are countless, but... there are really not many that can be tied. "Xuan'er, you have been famous for your intelligence since childhood. Your mother and I are really proud of you. We always want to bring the best in the world to you. I also hope that you can personally pick a husband that suits you. It's just that Now your name is spreading far and wide, but it is of no benefit to you." Father sighed long.

When I was fifteen years old, I set up a game of Linglong, starting at home, but no one from the father and brother down to the servants and guards could solve it. Those who didn't believe in evil paid a lot of money to solve the game in Huazhou, but still no one could solve it. .On that day, when the last solver slumped away, I faced Linglong alone. At that moment, as if I was facing myself, that Linglong was another me, the me that no one can solve...!At that moment, a kind of loneliness that has never been felt hits the sky. "I will marry whoever gets married." That day, I said to Linglong.

More and more people came to Xie Linglong. Famous people from all over the dynasty came here, but all of them came here in high spirits and returned in disappointment. Time flies, the vegetation grows and withers, six years have passed in the blink of an eye, Linglong is still unresolved, I am still unmarried, but the name of Xiaoxuan in Huazhou has spread all over the world. "Xuan'er, why do you know why you entered the emperor this time as a father? It's the queen mother's order, but it's for you. There are a lot of polite words, but there is only one meaning: I want you to pick a son-in-law to marry as soon as possible, otherwise she will marry you." Xia Yizhi pointed out a relative for you. My father was wondering why the Queen Mother knew about you and suddenly mentioned your marriage. I didn’t expect His Majesty to come here at this time. When he saw his father, he laughed and said: I heard that Qianjin is a beautiful woman. There are all men in the world, and I really want to see them. When the Queen Mother heard it, she also said, "Isn't the Ai family just attracted by the talented daughter of the Xiao Qing family, but the Xiao Qing family said that there is a suitable person and refused Ai family. Now the emperor has said so, Xiao Qing family, if your daughter is not married in May this year, send her into the palace to accompany Ai family. When the queen mother said this, His Majesty nodded with a smile. For father So far, what can I say? I asked someone to find out the reason when I left the palace. During the spring banquet in the palace at the beginning of the year, Prince Xin drank a few more glasses and didn't want to get mad. Qi yelled loudly that Linglong would marry Xiao Xuan. The empress dowager had a bad face at that time, and when people asked later, she became even more unhappy when she learned about the events of these years. Men all over the world are obsessed with it, it’s not a curse. Xuan’er, you can only choose two paths now, one is to choose someone to marry before May, the other is to enter the palace as a concubine. It’s just...” The father stopped talking Then, just look at me with some concern. "It's just...Since your majesty has thought about it, it's probably not right for you to marry, and it's even more wrong if your husband's family is an official in the court."

I'm afraid that my father's unfinished meaning will embarrass me so I won't say it, but how can I not understand. get married... I stood by the lake, the wind blew, the water in the pool swayed and the flowers swayed, but I was just silently thinking about who I could marry. Entering the palace and becoming a concubine based on the family background of the Xiao family is a good choice, but fighting three thousand women is too exhausting and exhausting, which is not what I want. Then there are the sons and daughters of officials who are well-matched, but I am already twenty-two years old, and I married a wife and had children at a relatively early age. I am afraid that there is some hidden secret or that I will continue to marry and fill the house. The rest are families of petty officials and merchants. These rich but low-status people are very willing to marry me, the daughter of an official family, in order to climb up the ladder. I went there, but I couldn't find my husband and son-in-law who respected each other as guests.

Move into the poolside pavilion and sit down at the table.This is a place I often come to. My family has already prepared chess pieces for my sudden needs. The chess pieces are round and cool in the hand, the white pieces are like snow, and the black pieces are like ink, each one falls on the board, making a crisp tinkling sound, it was dropped casually, but unconsciously, it looks exquisite. Staring blankly at the chessboard, he unexpectedly remembered the game of chess that was treasured in the Imperial Palace. It was a legendary game of boundlessness. When the battle of heroes in troubled times reached its climax, it came to an abrupt end because of that game.Everyone in the world said that it was played by King Xi and Emperor Chaoxi. Both of them had a benevolent heart and couldn't bear to fight for each other, so they decided the outcome by playing chess. keep in mind.

But I know the truth of history is not like that. When I was young, I picked up chess pieces for the first time. At that time, my grandfather was still there. He once said: Good at chess is like good at fighting. When the chess pieces fall, the battle begins, and one side will always end.However, I have seen a game of benevolent chess in my life, which is unprecedented. When I was young, I kept asking my grandfather, who is the chess player? Grandfather stroked my head, and after a long time said leisurely: King Feng and Young Master Yu. At that time, I kept a thought, wanting to witness that unprecedented chess game with my own eyes.

That chess game is hidden in the imperial palace, it is not for ordinary people to see it, but my elder brother who loves me declined all the rewards when he received the reward for his military exploits, and only wanted a piece of chess record for my sister's birthday gift.So on my twelfth birthday, I finally saw that game of Cangmang chess. That chess game was completely different from anything I had ever seen or played before.No thrills, no plans, no killing, no defeat, the whole chess game is only peaceful.It was a game of chess that made people calm down and worry about it. There were one hundred and twenty-five black pieces and one hundred and twenty-five white pieces. checkerboard.

That night, I laid out the game of boundless chess according to the chess record, and when I finished, I cried. I am not for the superb chess skills of the two players, nor for this once-in-a-lifetime chess game, I am for those two people.Two people who can play such a chess game must be two people with the same intelligence, heart, tolerance and thoughts. The most important thing...they must be the same heart and soul! In this world, there are tens of thousands of people, who hate, love, strange, and familiar, but even your close relatives who are connected with you by flesh and blood, may not think the same as you, and you will never have a soul-to-heart in your life. deed people.And how lucky they are to meet each other and play such a chess game that will amaze future generations. That night, my heart was controlled by an unknown emotion, and my tears kept flowing. I just vaguely thought that I also want to find such a person. Three years later, I set up a round of Linglong, hoping for someone who can solve the game.But when no one in the entire Huazhou could understand it, at that moment, a sense of emptiness enveloped me, and at that moment, I felt a fear that I had never felt before, as if I was alone in the vast wasteland of ice and snow. with the cold.Could it be that I can't find that person? Not in Huazhou, but the world is so vast, that person must be there, but he hasn't come to me yet. I continued to search, I continued to wait, and the six years passed like running water between my fingers, leaving nothing but a piece of damp. The boundless situation was supposed to be set by King Xi and Emperor Zhaoxi, but it was Feng Wang and Yumi who ended up in the end. And my exquisiteness may never be solved by anyone. I got up, that's all, that's all. Maybe there is such a person, but I have never met him in my whole life. "Third sister, third sister." It seemed that someone was calling me in a trance, and when I turned around, I saw two people walking slowly in the garden. The sunshine that day was exceptionally bright, the golden brilliance sprinkled down, coating the sky and the earth brightly and brightly, but it dimmed the brilliance in front of those two people. "Second brother." I walked down the steps of the pavilion and looked at the two people bathed in the golden sun. For the first time, I felt that the second brother was too good-looking, so I lost the introverted and peaceful charm of the person beside me. . "Yun Chao, my sister Xiao Xuan." The second brother introduced us in his usual concise way. I greeted the man with a slight nod and a smile. The tall man has a pair of elegant eyes, very bright but can't see to the end, those eyes look at me for a moment, but only for a moment. "Zi Liu rides the wind and spring clothes are thin, and the city is full of sandalwood. The startling wind and the sunset are not for the name, and the joys and sorrows are all due to mystery." The deep voice is very beautiful, but it is purely spoken without the slightest emotion , "It turns out to be true." I smiled again to express my gratitude. I have heard these words before. After all, there are such rumors everywhere in Huazhou City. "Let's go sit in the pavilion, the third sister will get dizzy if she gets too much sun," said the second brother. Hearing this, I glanced at my second brother, a little helpless and a little moved.I was congenitally weak, but I didn't just collapse when the wind blows and the sun melts. The three of them stepped into the pavilion, and Yun Chao saw Linglong at a glance.At the first glance, his eyes opened slightly, but at that moment, I felt like the clank of the second brother's sword coming out of its sheath.At the second glance, a look of shock flashed on his face, as if he had seen a miracle that would never be seen in the world.At the third glance, his expression was filled with irresistible ecstasy, as if he had found a treasure that had been searched for thousands of years but fell from the sky at this moment.At that moment, my heart was beating violently, like a golden drum beating tightly, and there was nowhere to avoid the attack from the sky, and the intense and urgent one was about to burst out, but there was no way to stop it. "Where are the people in the boundless situation? Just leave the wind to attract future generations. Don't talk about it for a lifetime, and half of your heart is waiting for the king." He uttered softly, faintly as if it came from ancient times, and the sound of heartbeats and drums all over the sky gradually slowed down. Gradually disappeared, everything in the world disappeared, I stood in the white snow field, the sun was warm and the flowers were in full bloom, he stood opposite me. Is he finally here? "Yun Chao, come and take a look at this Linglong." Second brother's voice sounded, the snow field disappeared, and I was in Xiao's mansion. "Linglong?" The surprise and excitement on his face gradually faded away, looking back, "Is this Linglong designed by Miss Xiao?" I looked at him and nodded. In just an instant, his expression returned to his original indifferent expression, "Unfortunately, I am not good at chess." At that moment, I couldn't help but laugh.God always likes to play tricks on people. One moment I gave up my hope that that person would never appear, the next moment he sent this person in front of you, but the next moment he wanted that person to cut off your hope. I smiled softly, looked at Linglong on the table, looked at Yunchao in front of me, and smiled calmly. Something flashed in Yun Chao's eyes, and he slowly turned his head away. "It's a pity." The second brother just said lightly and didn't insist. He looked at me and Yun Chao, and said again, "It's a pity." Smart, he didn't continue this topic, but talked about what he saw and heard during his trip.The second elder brother is cold-tempered and arrogant, and has no dust in his eyes, so he was born as a general but has not entered an official career, but he has made a lot of fame in the world.The eldest brother has inherited the family, but the father is not cautious about the second brother. On that day, the strange thing was that the three of us had a very happy conversation. Although I was a little confused and he would have a moment of ecstasy, the surface was still calm and happy. In the evening, I went to my father's study and told him that I was going to live at the foot of Tianzhi Mountain for half a month. When I came back, I would tell him my decision. It's only early April and I still have time.My father agreed without any doubts. He has been so reassuring to me since I was a child. He went back to his room and told Heng Wei to clean up, and in the early morning of the second day, he and her took the carriage prepared by his father to Tianzhi Mountain, without telling the second brother, and of course they did not see Yunchao.If you have no intentions, I will rest, Xiao Xuan still has this bit of backbone. Tianzhi Mountain is just outside Huazhou City, not far away, and it takes half a day to arrive. In the early years, I came here with my second brother. At that time, because I didn’t like the noise of people coming and going in the inn, I chose a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain to live in. The farmhouse was a newly married young couple, warm and hospitable. Simple and hardworking, the three thatched cottages were also cleaned up. When they left, they left a sum of money.So if I come to Tianzhi Mountain, I will live in their house. Before the carriage reached the door, the couple had already come out from a distance, presumably my father must have sent someone to tell them last night. Heng Wei and the coachman followed the couple to settle the carriages, horses and luggage, and I walked around the yard. Two years ago, I casually said that the yard is a bit empty, and it would be great if I planted some flowers and trees. What people plant is also a real thing. There are peach trees and plum trees inside and outside the courtyard. They can not only enjoy the flowers but also get the fruits. Pink peaches and white plums are shining, and I don’t know who started them, they are always dismissed as frivolous and romantic, but I like it very much. When the flowers bloom, the trees are full of clouds, how can it be so tender and delicate? Chrysanthemum peony and the like are comparable, and peach and plum blossoms are the most beautiful time in spring.It's just that the flowering period is too early now, and the trees are full of green fruits. "Miss, the room has been tidied up, let's take a rest first." Heng Wei always does things quickly and well. After entering the room and opening a window, you can see Tianzhi Mountain. "Have a cup of tea first, I'm going to cook, I must be hungry." Heng Wei handed me a cup of hot tea. "Hmm." I leaned on the bamboo couch by the window and looked at the lush green mountains outside the window. Tianzhi Mountain, the place where the beautiful stories of high mountains and flowing water originated, the place where Bai Fengxi and Yu Wuyuan once sang a song, it is a place where friendship and confidantes are most beautifully interpreted. Everyone in the world talks about the white wind and the black breath gods and couples, but I always think about it, when the young master Yu who made the world sigh and sigh, and the white wind Xi who was so beautiful in plain clothes, snow and moon, when they met face to face, didn't they ever move each other's hearts? On a moonlit night, when the piano and song were in harmony by the peak pavilion, didn't you feel fascinated? Everyone knows that Bai Fengxi and Yu Wuyuan are close friends like mountains and rivers. Everyone knows that Bai Fengxi has an amazingly talented Hei Fengxi , but... I always yearn for the song of Qin and Song by the mountains and rivers, and I am envious of those two people who just smiled and passed by in the end. So I came to the foot of Tianzhi Mountain, the place closest to them. In the evening, I walked out of the yard, and the farmer's six-year-old son followed me out.This child is not naughty and active like ordinary children, he is very clean and well-behaved, and he doesn't like to talk much. He just follows me quietly. I walked slowly along a row of peach trees outside the courtyard. The sunset glow in the west painted the sky crimson like fire. There were a few wisps of cooking smoke in the distance, curling upwards. There were farmers driving their cattle home by the field, moo A few cows bleating, accompanied by the crisp singing of mountain birds and the return of butterflies at dusk, the Tianzhi Mountain has an idyllic scenery, while on Tianzhi Mountain... I looked up at the very quiet Tianzhi Mountain Range in the twilight. There is a story through the ages, where there used to be romantic people singing and singing, and the people on the mountain and the people down the mountain were happy and contented, but only I, the people outside the mountain, were envious. Suddenly a flute sound came, floating in the twilight of Cangshan Mountain, and swaying in the smoke of the sunset. I listened attentively, and couldn't help being a little surprised.The sound of the flute is easy to sink into misery, but the sound of this flute is clear and free and easy. The high place is like standing on the top of nine heavens, and the low place is like diving into the nine abyss. Wan Tao rushes to the sea, and the peaceful place is like a brook gurgling, which is really unheard of in his life.Unexpectedly, there are high-ranking scholars hidden here, and I can't help but indulge in it while sighing.After a long time, I found that the sound of the flute was playing the song "Phoenix in the Sky" over and over again, but it always landed at a very high place in a daze. everywhere, wandering around. With a heartbeat, he picked off a peach leaf, wrote two lines with the tip of his fingernail, and handed it to the child beside him: "Go and give it to the person who plays the flute. If you don't see anyone, come back." Joy flashed in the child's eyes, and he took the peach leaf and ran quickly to the place where the Xiao sound came out. I supported the peach branch and waited slowly while listening to the sound of the flute. Sure enough, the sound of the flute stopped after a while, and after a while, the sound of the flute started again. This time it was a song "Water Lotus Song", which is fresh and elegant, full of chic Freehand, pleasant to hear, also implicitly invites peace. I let go of the peach branch to hold down the flying hair from my temples, and I couldn't help but smile.This flute player seems to be a wonderful person, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a musical instrument by his side, otherwise he would like to accept his invitation and play a song with him. Far away, the child ran back again, with bright eyes and red cheeks, and quickly ran to my side, looking up at me with bright eyes, with longing in them. I raised my hand to caress the top of his head, "Good boy." The child's eyes became brighter, revealing great joy, and he stretched out his hand timidly, holding a green bamboo flute in his hand. I couldn't help being overjoyed when I saw it, took it, played it close to my lips, the flute sound flew out, and looked for the distant flute sound, the two sounds merged together like a stream. I close my eyes, the twilight Cangshan is far away, my mind is calm and clear, I can see the blue waves and red clothes, like the cold wind and rain, the lotus leaves follow the wind, the colorful butterflies dance, the fragrance of flowers surrounds me, the boats are like leaves, some people are like green lotuses, Drunk together... I am drunk in this piece of cool wind with clear sound, drunk in this song of flute and flute. The song ended, the sound stopped, but I still stood with my eyes closed, still immersed in the aftertaste.Who is the person playing the flute? He opened his eyes again, and a figure came from the hazy twilight in the distance. When he got close, he was startled at the same time. He and I both looked at each other in amazement. Why...why did we meet here But in an instant I think we all understood. It's ridiculous and lamentable that they avoid each other secretly, but who knows that they are in the same heavenly branch. "You...why are you here?" Yun Chao asked me.Very direct, not polite and euphemistic, it seems that he and I didn't just meet yesterday, but we have known each other for a lifetime. "I'll take a look." I replied calmly.He should understand what I'm looking at. Sure enough, he moved his head to look at Tianzhi Mountain, with some longing and feeling: "High mountains and flowing water... romantic people... I also came to see it." My heart skipped a beat.Feng Ge is tossing and turning in the sky, Shui Lian Yin and the clothes are seamless, and the yearning is the same, but why... "Brother Qin fought against each other on Tianzhi Mountain, and played a game of chess on the top of Cangmang Mountain. They... But if they do this, they will have no regrets in their lives." He said again. "Whether they have no regrets is hard to know, but whether we can have no regrets..." He looks back at me, I meet those eyes, there's what I'm looking for, but there's nothing, or maybe the twilight is too dark for me to see "We always know the moment before we die." I look away . "I have heard the legend of Tianzhi Mountain since I was a child, and I have always yearned to climb the peak one day, but for some reason, I have been to Huazhou several times but dare not go there." There is inexplicable melancholy in the deep voice. I look back. "Where should we go?" He pointed to Tianzhi Mountain, and said softly, "Let's go to the high mountains and flowing water." Without hesitation, he went up Tianzhi Mountain with him, and went up Tianzhi Mountain with him without Heng Wei. At dawn, a rattan chair and a parcel. I sat on the rattan chair with my package on my back, and he walked on the mountain road with the rattan chair on his back. Although I have been to Tianzhi Mountain many times, I have never climbed the mountain once.One is that I can’t climb because I’m weak, and the other is that I feel that it’s enough to look at it from the bottom of the mountain. High mountains and flowing water are my life’s longing, but looking into the distance is already a kind of beauty and enjoyment. This time, my heart is moving, and I want to climb Tianzhi Mountain with him, and go to the mountains and rivers with him, which is what I wish. Along the way, we didn't talk much, but when we occasionally looked at each other, we knew that each other was in a relaxed and happy mood.I don't talk much on weekdays, just because others will always be puzzled for a long time when I say it, but he is different, he often understands a word or two completely.When I was amazed by a certain spectacle and wanted to reward more, he stopped and looked at the same place with the same appreciation and admiration in his eyes. Towering ancient forests, jagged and strange rocks, winding streams, splendid mountain flowers, exotic birds... I am obsessed with it, half for the scenery and half for the environment. Stop and go, only climbed to the middle of the mountain at noon.Stop, eat, rest. He sat cross-legged on the rock, and I leaned against the tree, the sun was shining brightly, surrounded by the shade of the trees, the mountain breeze was gentle, and the crisp birds were singing.After squinting for a while, suddenly something moved in his heart, he opened his eyes and met his gaze, both of them were like a clear lake without waves. I looked at him, he stood still on the rock, and the mountain wind blew his clothes, and he seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the top of a cloud. "Not a trace of wariness." He said after a while. I smiled, pressed the hair blown by the wind on my cheek, and said lightly: "I can find Qianxu, but I am unsuspecting." Yun Chao, when you see through that round of Linglong, you should understand that you and I are separated from each other in this world. People who know each other best recently, we will guard against friends and relatives but never against each other. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he was a little relieved, got up and walked over, and stopped a foot in front of me: "You forgot that you are a woman, and..." The tall body still squatted down with a strong momentum, The palm stretched out and fell on my cheek, "The only one who can't be moved by such a beautiful face is the dead." There was a clump of wild flowers beside the tree. I plucked one and handed it in front of his eyes, "Wanlichun comes with the guests, and ten years of flowers will send the beautiful woman to grow old." He took the flowers but stuck them into my temples, his eyes were deep and deep, "The wind blows the red rain, and the bones ooze a dark fragrance." I couldn't help laughing. He looked at me deeply for a while, and then said: "Why is there a you in this world?" My heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and it suddenly ached.He hopes that there is a me in this world, and he hopes that there is no me in this world, but I am so looking forward to him coming to me, so different, his contradictions, and my expectations. "Whether we see it or not, there is always a me in this world." It just depends on whether you know it or not.I move my head.The sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves casts fine shadows on the ground, mottled and jumping. "Literacy is a worry in life." He sighed plainly, looking at me with complicated eyes, "Honesty does not deceive others." "Ignorant, fearless, and worry-free." I secretly smiled bitterly.Turning his head and closing his eyes, suppressing the sourness in his heart, "But I still don't want to be ignorant." He stood up, "Let's go." Going up further, the mountain road was even steeper, but he walked steadily and breathed regularly.I sit on a rattan chair, look at the clouds, mountains, trees, water, birds and animals. Everything comes into my eyes, but my heart is empty. At dusk, he finally stopped, put me down, looked up, not far from the peak, not far from them... not far away. "Let's take a rest here, have dinner and then go to the summit." He opened the package and handed me the water bag. I took it and handed him Sipa.He took it without being polite, and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the tree forest. I was surprised when I saw that he had broken two branches in his hand. The chattering sound was getting closer and closer, and then two gray hares ran out, running past us very quickly.Before I could react, there were two swishing sounds in my ears, and the two hares stopped running suddenly, with all the branches stuck in their necks, and the blood flowed down, and there was a spring of blood flowing on the weeds, red and green, very strange of deterrent. I was stunned for a while, then turned to look at him, he glanced at me, then moved away.I understand that look, he hoped I saw it and hoped I didn't see it.Contradictory yet worrying.He didn't say a word, he picked up the two hares and walked away. When he came back, it was a naked dead rabbit that had been cleaned up.I watched him make a fire and roast rabbits, his face seemed to change in the light of the fire. Before heading out on the road after eating, I saw him planting branches and placing rocks on the road. After he finished fiddling with it, he noticed my puzzled gaze and said, "This is the only way to the top of the mountain, and I don't want anyone to bother me." After climbing to the top of the peak, the sun was already sinking, the sky and the earth were dark, and there was a faint shadow of a crescent moon in the sky. I finally came here. I stood on the highest peak of Tianzhi Mountain. I stood beside the Liushui Pavilion built with rocks. Looking as far as the eye can see, in the twilight, there are hazy mountain shadows far and near. There are no clouds, birds, and fragrant flowers. There is no qin and clear song in the tree, the vicissitudes of a hundred generations have passed, the wind of thousands of years has turned, and the sky and the earth are as silent as water at this moment. "While drifting and fighting all kinds of battles, who can survive by chance and be independent for thousands of years?" The question in the ear is like a deep question from heaven and earth, thick and heavy. "The branches of the sky have lifted the sky from time immemorial, and the wind and cloud are companions to talk about the sangtian." I looked back at him, the sky was shining at the moment, but my heart was like a mirror, what about you? His eyes looked at the misty mountains and fields, so far away and wide. We stand on a high mountain, we stand in the twilight, the sky is silent, and the wilderness is heavy. "It's cold on the mountain. I'm going to make a fire. You have a rest." He said, and turned to gather firewood. I sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, watching the mountain peaks gradually disappearing into the sky, feeling tired.In the dream, there are thousands of peaks and steep cliffs, and the cold wind blows, and you can't help but sleep overnight. Then, when you feel warm, someone whispers in your ear: "In the dream, Qianyan is cold, isn't it?" Yes.Opening his eyes in a daze, he saw a crescent moon rising between the peaks, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "An ice wheel is emerging from the gap in Yunfeng, as expected." "Hehe..." Hearing his chuckle, I woke up completely and looked around. At this moment, the mountains and green villages were covered with silver light. I didn't expect to fall asleep for so long before I knew it.He had already lit a fire outside the pavilion, and I was also covered with a thick snow fur. "I wonder if the moon that Bai Fengxi and Yu Wuyuan admired back then is rounder?" He looked at the moon rising slantingly between the mountain peaks. "Whether the moon is full or waning, that night, they knew that they met each other, talked about their past lives together, and the harmony of music and songs... It was complete for them." I got up and walked to the side of the pavilion. "Do they sing and play together..." He turned his head to look at me, then got up and walked, "There is no piano here, and I don't have the peerless talent of Mr. Yu to compose a song on the spot, so let me dance the sword for you " He took out a purple jade flute from his sleeve and handed it to me, "Will you play the flute for me?" I raised my head, looked at the person in front of me, and looked at the two thick ink paintings. Just like the sword eyebrows that were about to fly away at any time, looking at those elegant but sharp eyes, he reached out and took the flute. On this peak of the Tianzhi, there was a story of a friend through the ages of the high mountains and flowing water. They finally brought their pianos here, and then disappeared forever in the eyes of the world.In this stone pavilion, there was once Bai Feng Xi Yu who had no chance to sing the piano and sing the moon. In the end, they only left a confidant friendship, and then moved to the world to return home. Me and you... tonight, me and you, in this place where beautiful legends are spread, you dance the sword for me once, I play the flute for you, and finally... what will happen to us? Fly unfettered to the tip of the moon, and ask Yueniang for me, my thoughts, my hopes, will they turn into flowing water, or will the mirror flowers burst into sword light, and the snow will splash? The moon also dimmed its brilliance, and on the cliff of Qingfeng, I saw a silver rainbow flying around. "Don't you see Kunwu iron smelting flying flames, red light and purple aura are impressive. Lianggong practiced for several years, and forged a sword named Longquan. The color of Longquan is like frost and snow. Lianggongzi sighs and marvels." A groan broke through the snow-like sword light, and accompanied by the sound of the flute, he invited Yuehua directly. "The glazed jade box spits out lotus flowers, and the golden ring reflects the bright moon. It is just when there is no wind and dust in the world. Fortunately, Zhou Fang is a gentleman. The light is dark and the color of a green snake, and the article is covered with green tortoise scales. Not only made friends with rangers, but also got close to heroes. people." The voice of the chanting paused, the sound of the flute was smooth, the sword's edge was like a spring, and the jade beads were flying, the man leaped in mid-air, his clothes fluttered lightly, just like Jiaolong. "He Yan was abandoned in the middle of the road, scattered and drifted to the edge of the ancient prison. Although it is buried and useless, it can still be full of energy every night." The chant reappeared, but it was majestic, the sound shook hundreds of miles into the sky, the light of the sword also changed in an instant, the snow disappeared and the rainbow was broken, but it was as strong as the yellow sand filled the sky, as the unrestrained hero of the river, as fierce as the flames of the world... When did the flute sound stop, when did the sword dance stop, I don't know. I only know that the bright moon is like frost, I only know that figure is like a mountain, I only know that those eyes are looking at Jiutian, I only know that the sheathed sword is still singing like a dragon... Back then, when Feng Xiyun was not yet the king of a country, she once incarnated as Bai Fengxi and wandered around the rivers and lakes. Back then, when the troubled times had not yet arisen, Yu had no chance. Zeng Qianqian walked alone in the wind and rain. When they met at that time, they were innocent and loyal, and left behind a qin song for future generations, but that's all. And we, at this moment, the Xiaojian Xianghe by this high mountain and flowing water will be handed down for generations, and what will happen to us after the Xiaojian, what will happen to us... As the sun rises, the sun is shining, clouds and mists are flying around, the green mountains are green, and the flowers and birds are picturesque. That is the most magnificent landscape on Tianzhi Mountain, but we have to leave. When going down the mountain, passing by the array he had set up with branches and stones yesterday, he saw only a few puddles of blood.He looked at the blood very plainly, then turned to look at me, his gaze became so gloomy again. He took me outside the farmyard. Before entering the door, I looked back at him, and he looked at me. That gaze seemed to be sighing, reluctance, and helplessness, and it was more complicated and deep that I couldn't explore. I turned around, looked back, and the long sleeves fell slightly, covering my clenched fists. I sighed aloud, without hiding it or needing to hide it, I wanted him to hear clearly, I wanted him to understand my regret and my regret. At noon, the second brother came. I am a little strange. "Yun Chao asked me to come." The second brother told me so. When I heard this remark, anger welled up in my heart instantly.Did he think that I would... Hmph, he underestimated me, Xiao Xuan too, I...why should I be sad? . "Xuan'er, I didn't come as you thought." The second elder brother said, frowning slightly, and sighed with some annoyance, "You will understand." I was puzzled, but the second brother stopped talking. All afternoon, the second brother was with me, I practiced calligraphy, he grinded ink for me, I read, he played the piano for me, as if I was a child again.We've had few moments like this since he first set foot outside the house. In the evening, my second brother and I took a walk along the small river in front of the farmyard, and there were farmers busy in the farmland in the distance. "How much do you know about the astray in life? Just ask Sang Tian and Gu Geng." I looked at the smoke curling up in the distance from the farmland, "Second brother, what do you think of me marrying a farmer?" "Xuan'er, Yun Chao is a dragon among men, but..." I looked back at my second brother. The second brother didn't look at me, his eyes turned to the sunset in the distance, "I really don't want you to be with him from the bottom of my heart." I was surprised when I heard this, but I know that my second brother must have his reasons for saying this. "Xuan'er, you are the most precious of our Xiao family, you don't know what kind of place Jianghu is." The second elder brother's gaze fell on me, so heavy. The accident happened so suddenly, and when the cold wind hit, I was already embraced by my second brother. "Close your eyes." I heard the second brother's order in my ear, and I closed my eyes according to the words. In an instant, my body seemed to be spinning in the air. I felt dizzy for a while, and then I felt warm arms hugging me again. The sound of blood erupting when the body was pierced and pulled away was faintly mixed with muffled cries of pain. In the darkness, all the sounds were so obvious. I clenched my hands into fists, but I hoped that it would pass quickly. I only hoped that my second brother would be fine. . "It's ok." Second brother's soft voice sounded in my ear again. I opened my eyes, and the second brother in front of me was dressed in white clothes like snow without any scars. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned my head. . "Sure enough." The second brother sighed, "We can't stay here anymore, we're going home now, they don't dare to break into the Dutong Mansion at will." "That's fine." Although I don't know about Jianghu, but looking at the puddles of blood on the ground, I know the seriousness of the matter. "Let's go immediately, so as not to hurt the farmer." It was late at night when I got home, and my father was very surprised that I came back so soon and so late, but he didn't say much, just let me have a good rest. When I woke up in the morning, I found that the mansion was heavily guarded. I think my second brother had told my father about it. I sighed, my second brother has been in the rivers and lakes for several years, but he has never come back with any enmity. The only person in the rivers and lakes that I have come into contact with recently is Yun Chao. I think it is all because of him now.Who is he? It's just that the second brother can get along with him, so he won't be a demon. One day passed, and the mansion was safe. In the evening, after finishing reading, I was about to pack up and go to bed when the candlelight flickered, and a sweet fragrance filled the room. I put down the book in my hand, turned my head, and saw a person standing by the window, Luo Yi was better than snow, and his face was more delicate than flowers, but the evil spirit between his eyebrows was a little bit discolored. 我与她静静对视。 “想不到你还有几分胆色。”半晌后她开口，移步缓缓向我走来，腰肢纤细，行动扶风，当是婀娜多姿。 “这位姑娘夜间造访不知何事？”我起身，捧起桌上还冒着热气的茶杯。必要时摔杯作警，就不知守卫能否赶及，毕竟她能无声无息的潜入都统府，那份能耐远非府中守卫可比。 她目光溜过茶杯，淡淡一笑，缓了脸上的煞气，顿生出几分媚态，“我想看看折尽天下男儿的萧玄到底是什么模样，竟令铁石心肠的云潮也对你另眼相看。” 她是为着云潮？我心头一动，注目于她。 “我随暮雨自问花容月貌，可今日也要甘拜下风，只不过……”她杏眸转了转，又是一抹淡笑，“想当年，他一入江湖第一个认识的便是我，我待他百般好他却冷心以对，都快三年了，我追着他满江湖的跑着，看他相交满天下，看他声名崛起，也看他伤尽江湖女儿心，本来以为他真是冷血冷心，这天下没有一个女子能入得了他的眼，谁知他却待你不同。” 我心头一跳，有几分欢喜，却又有几分酸涩。或待我真与他人不同，但也非我所思她所想，他不是明明白白的表示过“不会解萧玄的玲珑”吗“他不过当我知己，姑娘会错意了。”我心头微微叹息。 “可就这一份知己之谊便已是独一无二。”她杏眼里闪过一丝光芒，那么的亮那么的利，冷冷的盯着我，“这些年来他屡经天支山，每每总是遥望而过，极是向往却从没有登上山过，而今他却带你一起上山，而且还设下'离魂阵'阻止别人上山，这是从来没有过的事！” 我眉头一扬，沉吟片刻，道:“姑娘已看过我了，便请回吧。” “呵呵……”她忽的轻声笑起来，神色越发的柔媚可人，“我们随教的人奉行的宗旨便是随心所欲，我现今看你格外的刺眼，当然是不想再看到。”她一边说着一边走近，杏眸中笑意盈盈，面上一派亲和，“我追着他这么久都不能在他心中站一席之地，你这个独一无二当然更不能留，所以……” 她一双手伸进袖里摸了一会，然后往桌上一放，当当的落了许多东西，有雕琢细巧精致的各色花朵，有如丝般纤细的银针，有小小的荷包，有如柳叶似的飞刀…… “你自己选一种吧，这银针你只要往身上随便哪一扎就行了，一个时辰后你便心跳停止很安然的死去，这荷包里乃我随教最厉害的毒药，只要用指甲勾一点点，瞬时便会夺了你的命，死得一点也不痛苦。”她手指指桌上的东西，轻描淡写的无一丝狠意，“自己选比我动手好呢，若由我动手，我可恨不得千刀万剐呢。” 我扫一眼桌上那琳琅满目的暗器毒药，举起茶杯，看着她淡淡的道:“我哪一样都不会选的。我是萧玄，与你，与云潮毫无任何关系，你们的恩怨情仇更与我无关，所以带着你的东西离开。” 她怪异的看着我，然后掩唇吃吃笑起来，“你真有意思，亏得他对你另眼相看，你却是撇得一干二净的。” “便是他待我不同，那也是他与我的事。”我也淡然一笑，“姑娘待他的情意，那是姑娘与他的事，我为何要为着你们的事而送命姑娘还是离去的好，都统府不是那么好闯的，而且我二哥在家，你杀我没那么容易的。” “呵呵……”她依在笑道，杏眼中满是兴趣的打量着我，“明明是我要杀你，可怎么反是你在威胁我呢要知道，以我的武功要杀你实在容易，你二哥的功夫再好现今也赶不及呀。” “随教主不妨试试，看看萧某是否赶得及。”房门推开，二哥从容走进。 她毫无惧意的看着推门进来的二哥，脸上依是笑意盈盈:“原来她的'二哥'便是你，既然你来了，我当然就杀她不成了。”看来她与二哥也是认识的。 “夜深了，随教主请回罢，舍妹要休息了。”二哥往门口摆摆手道。 她袖一扫，桌上的东西便全收了，抬手抚抚鬓角，柔媚的看着二哥:“我当然要走了，可我偏不走门。”言罢，身影一闪，竟又窗口飞走了。 二哥看看窗口，眉头微锁，转头看我，嘴动了动，似不知要如何解释这个人的来历。 “江湖上的事不用对我说。”我放下茶杯，手实有些酸了。莫说云潮并未对我表露任何情义，便是有，既是他的事那也该他自己处理。 二哥点头，“不早了，休息罢。”说罢转身离去，走前为我带关了门。 往后几日，我依如往昔，只是府里的气氛却大不同以往，守卫更多，人人脸上都有几分紧张，熟识的面孔消失了几张，二哥更是不离我左右。 这一日，二哥正陪我在花园小亭里下棋，忽见一守卫近前来，俯首低声在二哥耳边说了什么，便见二哥脸色一变。 “玄儿，我去去就来，你呆在府里千万不要出门。”二哥嘱咐我便离去。 二哥走后，我独自摆着棋谱，棋谱摆到一半时，我忽又闻到那股甜香，猛然一惊，抬首，随暮雨就站在花园中央，依是那日模样，白衣娇容，衬着鲜花朗日，更显她的美丽。 “我说了要杀你便一定要杀你的。”她笑语温柔，“只是这几日你二哥寸步不离你，便是睡觉也睡在外阁，我实在找不着机会，今日小计略施，总算是可以杀你了。”她笑得似是心满意足的。 我手一抓，握了满手的棋子。 “你还是不要乱动乱叫的好，这附近的守卫我已全部摆平了，你便是弄出声响招来更多守卫又如何呢在我看来杀他们就如同捏死蚂蚁一般容易，来了也不过是多送些性命罢。”她慢慢向我走来。 我一听她这话倒真的松开了棋子，缓缓转身，“你杀了我不过令他厌憎你罢。” “我当然知道。”她点点头，脸上笑容不变，“可不杀你他一样不会多看我一眼呀。” 唉，我心头叹一口气，扫视一眼花园，就我和她两个。 手有些抖，我害怕，因为我不想死，因为那双眼睛透露出她的杀意，她真的要杀我！ 死，谁能不怕呢，若我已七老八十的，或能将生死看开。悠然富贵的活了二十多年，而今却要为着一个男人对我的友情、为着另一个女人的爱恨送命，死得实有些冤，实是不甘心。此刻无人能救，可我能否自救得了我起身，目光迎视她，她就站在一丈之外，巧笑嫣然的看着我，她实是一个很美的女子。 “你有想过杀了我的后果吗？” 她眼睛一眨，道:“我们江湖人本就是亡命之徒，不怕有人报仇的。” 我笑，有些些讽意，“你知道我的身份吗？” “知道。”她笑，“都统府的三姐嘛，可那又怎么样呢？” “不，并只是那样的。”我摇头，“应该这样说……”我扬首，俯视着下方的她，“皇朝华恩侯萧继君的爱女，华州大都统萧天的妹妹，武林'扫雪公子'萧狄的妹妹，君子谷'无方神医'君方的姐姐。”我看着她渐渐凝结的笑脸，，“还有最重要的一个身份———那就是是当朝皇帝中意的女人！” 她脸上的笑容终于消失了，柔媚的杏眸渐起冷光，可此刻我却不怕了，我移步走至亭边，傲然说道:“五月我即将入宫，若你杀了我……”我微笑，我想此刻我脸上的笑容定也是明媚灿烂的，“那么整个天下你无处可逃，便是你们随教也会要为我陪葬！” 她脸色十分的难看，眼睛一眨也不眨的盯着我良久，然后移开，有些空茫的望向园中犹未落尽的春花。我知道她此刻心头必是一番激烈的斗争，但盼她是顾全大局之人，不会冒然行事。 园中我与她静默如渊，她望着花，我望着她，她不动，我不敢动。 很久后，才听得她低低出声:“萧玄果然聪明，这一番话若换个人必受打击，心志必动摇，可是我是随教的随暮雨。” 她回头望向我，杏眼里已是绝然:“我们随教的人做事但求随心所欲从不问功过得失。也许是前生孽缘，今生自第一眼看到他起，我便入了地狱，受着万般煎熬只盼着他能看我一眼，对我能有一丝怜惜我便心满意足，可他视我若陌路。” 那双杏眸中渐渐浮起凄烈，娇容惨淡，我见犹怜。 “你这么聪慧，定能理解的。”她看着我，仿佛我是她的知己，她将所有向我倾吐，“生无可欢，死亦无悲。” 我心头大震。 她的悲，她的痛，她的苦，她的恨……这一刻，我真的可以体会，可以理解。 郎心似铁，可怜妾身不由己。 她一步一步缓缓走来。 “你在他心中独一无二，我情何以堪？我杀了你，他定会愧疚一生记挂你一生，那么他每每想起你时必也会想起杀了你的我。所以我为你偿命有什么可怕的，整个随教为之陪葬又有什么可惜的，便是他憎恨我一生，那又何妨！我便化成一根毒刺扎在他心头，令他痛一生恨一生悔一生……足矣。”我木然呆立，这一刻，害怕恐惧皆已消失，我只是看着这个痴狂的女人，心头一片凄楚与怜惜。我不知，我是怜她，还是在怜己。 你未得情，我又何曾得心。 “所以，让我杀了你吧。你死，有我、有整个随教为你陪葬，你还有……他唯一的真心，你已很有福气了。”她伸出手来，脸上一串泪珠滑落。 我看着她，看着那张美丽的容颜上滑落的晶莹泪珠，“郎心似铁，可怜妾身不由己。纵入阿鼻，还念妾心。” 她一震，然后笑，纤指如玉，毅然向我伸来，指间银光闪烁，“想不到你竟是我的知己。” 我闭上眼睛，躲不过的，只是……我萧玄便这样死了吗多可惜啊，我至今都没有等到解我玲珑的人。云潮，你真不会吗你不过是不愿罢。 "what!" 我听得她一声惨叫，睁眼，一枝铁箭洞穿她整个右掌，鲜血淋淋。 从我身侧伸出一柄剑，直刺她胸口，她纤腰一扭，避开了剑，可那长剑依如影相随，她后一拍亭柱，足下连点，身子迅速后退，飞出了小亭。 一双手臂将我护入怀中，我抬头，银盔覆额，铠甲在身，英姿如龙。 "Brother." “玄儿，你没事吧？”大哥将我上下查看了一番，然后看向花园中痴立的随暮雨，手一挥，“十二将，给我将这妖女抓了，竟敢想杀害我们萧家最宝贝的妹妹！” "yes!" 瞬间跃出十二道人影，齐齐围向随暮雨。 园中顿时人影翻飞，刀剑交错。 我拉住大哥手，道:“大哥，你叫十二将不要伤了她。” “哼！”大哥目光盯着园中，“这妖女功夫好着呢，十二将不一定能伤了她。” “萧玄，你真的是很有福气啊。”随暮雨的声音幽幽传来，“竟有这么多的好哥哥，还有这么多人护着你。” 话音一落，便是一阵刺耳的刀剑相击声，然后一道人影从刀光剑影中飞出，石栏上一点，瞬间便消失于无踪。 地上只落有几处鲜血。 “玄儿，这妖女什么人？她干么要杀你？”大哥问着我。 我摇摇头，不知要从何处开口，只有装作不知。 “大哥，你怎么回来了？”大哥一向在军中，怎的今日突然回来了当然，回来得太好了。 “我在军中听人传说着都统府现在那守卫比皇宫还严还实，我能不回来看看。”大哥扶我坐下，“一回来就看到那妖女要杀你，差点没吓飞了我的三魂六魄。这到底怎么回事这妖女似乎是江湖中人，你不可能惹到他们，是不是老二惹回的他去哪了惹了麻烦回来竟不护在你身边还敢离开！哼，若你出了事，我扒他皮抽他筋挖他的心剁成肉酱再烧成灰喂狗！” “噗！”我笑。比起二哥的冷然，大哥却是军中养出的豪迈直爽。 “玄儿！”一声急呼，然后便见二哥冲进了园中，一看我和大哥安然在座，才缓了脚步慢走过来。 “哈！你还知道'玄儿'啊！”大哥一掌拍在石桌上，霍然起身，横眉怒目，“你知不知道刚才有人要杀玄儿！若我晚回一刻，我最宝贝的妹妹定伤在那妖女手中了！此刻你也别想见到她了！家里出了这么大的事竟敢不告诉我！既然敢不告诉我，那就好好保护着玄儿，你却还独留她一人自己跑得不见影儿！” 二哥看着地上的血目光一缩，向我望来，见我身上无恙才松了口气。 大哥双拳握得咯吱咯吱作响，嘴角一勾:“你自己过来，让我好好凑两拳，否则玄儿随我去军中，我自有千军万马可保护她，你以后也就别再想见到她。” 我抚额，头痛。大哥从小到大总用这话威胁二哥，只是从来都很见效。 二哥抿抿嘴，薄冰似的眸子垂了垂，似是极不屑大哥的威胁，但他人还是走了过来。 大哥摩了摩拳擦了擦掌，笑得很是得意。 我叹气，伸手按在大哥掌上:“大哥，二哥离开必是有因的。” 大哥看看我，又瞅了瞅二哥，一挑下巴:“说。” 二哥扫一眼大哥，然后目光落在我身上:“云潮受了伤。” 我心头一紧，拉着大哥的手不由揪住了。 大哥眉一皱，看了看我，然后盯住二哥:“那云潮什么人受了伤又怎么样，难道比得上我们玄儿重要！” “伤得很重吗？”我缓一口气问道。 “不知道。”二哥摇头，“我就是要去看看，可走到半路总不放心，所以又折了回来。”目光移向大哥，冰眸清澈，很坚定的道，“云潮是我的好友。” “喔。”大哥应了一声，没说什么。 “那二哥快去看看吧。”我忙道，“大哥既然回来了，我自不会有事。” “好。”二哥也不多话，头一点便走了。 “玄儿，你干么这么着急？那云潮算得了什么，我这哥哥上战场都不见你担心过。” “大哥，我若不担心你，我干么为你挑选十二将。” “哦，说的也是……” 那日至深夜二哥才回来。 “受伤了，不重，但也不轻。”二哥抽走我手中的书，“放心，现在去睡吧，很晚了。” 我默然，半晌后问道:“伤了云潮的也是随教的人？” 二哥目光闪了闪。 我抬手按按眉心:“你不说我也想得到。” 二哥静了片刻，才道:“是随教的人，只不过是想引开我，她的目标是你。” “真是疯狂。”我叹息，凝眸看着容颜俊美无伦的兄长，问他，“二哥，若有人为你如此，你会动心吗？”二哥沉吟了片刻，然后漠然道:“我动心的，无须若此。我不动心的，再疯狂也是枉然。” I am speechless.所谓物以类聚，云潮不也是无动于衷吗 二哥看我良久，似在斟酌，最后还是说道:“云潮今日说了一句话。” 我猛地抬头。 二哥有些微的怜惜，缓缓念道:“燕归楼前花空落，何当雨中共飞燕。” 我心头剧跳。他这般说是何意 他这般说可是…… “我想他的意思你大概明白。”二哥凝眸看着我，“虽我心里不愿，但你若欢喜我依然是支持的。” 我征然。 燕归楼前花空落，何当雨中共飞燕。 他终于说了……他终于肯告诉我了吗 心跳得那样的快，又
