Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Soul Dream Anengding

Meng Xiazhiyue is only one month away from the wedding of Jing and Xiaoyao. According to the custom, the two cannot see each other again.Jing had to go back to Qingqiu, try on the dresses, check every detail of the wedding to make sure everything went well, and then - wait to marry Xiaoyao. The entire Tu Shan family's mansion has been renovated, and the yard where he and Xiaoyao will live in is completely designed and built according to Xiaoyao's wishes: Xiaoyao likes to eat snacks, and there is a small kitchen in the garden; Planted two green plums: Xiaoyao likes water, and diverted hot spring water to open a pond...

Although the elder has considered the garden very thoughtfully and meticulously, when Jing regarded the garden as his and Xiaoyao's home, he had different requirements for everything. He did it himself and rearranged the furniture and utensils. Among them, just follow Jing. On the 20th of Meng Xiazhiyue, Hu Deaf sent news that Tu Shanzhen was critically ill and had no water or rice. When he was awake, he only knew he was crying to see his father. Hu Deaf and Hu Ya are brothers and Jing's confidantes. Since Tu Shanzhen was born, he has been responsible for protecting Tu Shanzhen. it is good.

Jing couldn't bear Yiying's spiritual power and blood to be sucked dry by the God of Consciousness and died, so she cleverly used a trick to make Yiying die of illness, but secretly arranged for Yiying to leave Qingqiu. Yiying used to be very lively, she would attend all kinds of banquets and gatherings, and had friendship with various clans. Many people had seen her in the whole Great Wilderness from northwest to southeast.Now Yiying is very afraid of seeing people, Jing thinks about it, and only Qingshui Town can let Yiying live with peace of mind, so she sends Yiying to Qingshui Town.

Although Yiying doesn't need to use spiritual power, essence and blood to worship the God of Knowledge, after all, she has sacrificed her body to support the God of Knowledge, and her vitality has been severely damaged.Even if she takes care of her carefully, at most she can survive until Zhen'er grows up.In order not to make Yiying depressed and begging for death, and also to allow Zhen'er to spend more time with her mother, every spring and summer, Jing would send Hu Deaf to send Zhen'er to Qingshui town for three or four months.This year because he was going to get married, he specifically asked Hu Deaf to come back at the end of the autumn.Unexpectedly, Zhen'er suddenly became seriously ill.

Hu Deaf is a steady and reliable person, the news will never be fake, and there are more than 20 days before the wedding day, so it will not be a waste of time to go back and forth, but Jing feels a little uneasy, and it seems that she shouldn't go, but even if it's not him Jing's son is also his nephew, not to mention that in Xun'er's heart, he is his father. If there is anything wrong with Xun'er, Jing can't forgive herself. Jing thought for a while, and decided to take Hu Zhen to Qingshui Town, and at the same time ordered You to take all the hidden guards. This is the first time Jing has asked for the strictest hidden guard, she was taken aback for a moment, and said: "We are going to get married next month, if the patriarch has any premonition, it is best not to go out."

Jing asked: "If something happens to Zhen'er, will Xiaoyao and I still be able to hold the wedding as scheduled?" You bowed and said: "Understood! Please rest assured, the patriarch, we will definitely let the patriarch come back to hold the wedding smoothly, this is the meaning of our existence." Before leaving, Jing wrote a letter to Xiaoyao, telling Xiaoyao that he had to go to Qingshui Town to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and told Xiaoyao not to worry. He would rush back to Qingqiu as soon as possible with the dark guards following him. .

When Jing arrived at Qingshui Town, it was already dawn on the second day. Yiying was sitting beside the couch, wearing black clothes, with a black veil on her face, her whole body was covered tightly, only a pair of eyes with cut autumn water as pupils remained outside. Jing asked, "How is Zhen'er?" Yiying was in a trance, pointing to the couch and saying nothing, Hu Zhen stepped forward to check the pulse, Jing leaned down and said softly, "Xiao'er, Daddy is here." Zhen'er saw Jing in a daze, cried out with a wow, stretched out her hand to hug Jing, and said hoarsely: "Father, I feel so uncomfortable, am I going to die?"

Jing held Zhen'er in her arms: "Don't cry, don't cry! You have to be strong. Dad brought the best doctor. When you recover from illness, Dad will take you to see the sea." Zhen'er said weakly, "I want to see the sea." Both Jing and Zhen'er looked at Hu Zhen expectantly, Hu Zhen frowned, put down Zhen'er's wrist, and checked Zhen'er's tongue and eyes.Seeing Hu Zhen's ugly face, Jing smiled and said to Zhen'er, "Sleep for a while, okay?" Zhen'er was very tired and sleepy: "Well, I'm going to sleep, and Daddy will accompany me."

"Okay, Daddy will accompany you." Jing put her hand on his forehead, and Zhen'er fell into a deep sleep. Jing then asked Hu Zhen: "What is the disease?" Hu Zhen said, "It's not a disease, it's a poison." Jing didn't bother to explore the reason, and asked anxiously: "Can it be solved?" Hu Zhen said ashamedly: "This is a trick of a fox. I can't solve it, but Miss Xiling can solve it. It's just that time is a little tight..." Yiying, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Hu Zhen, I have made some progress in these years, and I can actually identify the fox poison. In fact, why go to the distance to find the Xiling and Dongling, just go to the poisoner and ask for the antidote. !"

Jing said: "This is also a way, but who is the poisoner? Do you have a clue?" Yiying pointed to herself: "It's right in front of your eyes." Hu Zhen exclaimed in surprise, subconsciously stood in front of Jing, and asked angrily: "Tiger poison does not eat its own son, you actually poisoned your son?" " Jing stared at Yiying in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief. Yiying smiled and said: "The people you arranged are more like foxes than the other. If you didn't use this tricky poison to make them believe that Zhen'er is about to die, how could you be invited here?"

Jing said coldly: "I'm here now, you can detoxify Zhen'er." Yiying was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you ask why you were lured here?" Jing grabbed Yiying's arm suddenly, and dragged her to the couch: "Detoxification!" Because of his anger, his voice became very gloomy, and Qingjun's facial features were also a little ferocious. Yiying lay powerlessly on the couch, looking up at him, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes: "You really care about Zhen'er." Jing said coldly: "Detoxification!" He pressed his palms hard, and Yi Ying's painful body trembled. Yiying struggled and said, "The antidote will be in the hands of the person I poisoned." Jing threw Yiying to the ground and shouted, "Tu Shanhou!" Hou walked into the house, looked at Jing with a smile, and said frivolously, "It's my son who was poisoned. I'm not in a hurry. My good brother, why are you in a hurry?" Jing asked, "What exactly do you want?" "All the people you stayed in Qingshui Town have been..." Hou made a movement to cut his throat, "Your hidden guards have also been dragged, and now everyone outside this house is my people, as long as I give an order, You will be instantly charged with thousands of arrows." Hu Zhen didn't believe it, and immediately shouted: "Hu deaf, deaf, deaf! Hu Ling, Xiaodonggua... You! You..." No one responded to him, and Hu Zhen said angrily: "Hou, you Don't forget the blood oath you swore in front of your ancestors! If you dare to hurt the patriarch, you will die too!" Hou seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and laughed loudly: "I'm going to die? Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Jing asked Hou: "Since you want to kill me, why didn't you order it?" Hou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Since I was young, everyone has said that you are better than me. No matter what I do, you are better than me. This time, I want a fair duel, and life and death will determine who is better than whom. " Jing said: "I have a condition, let Hu Zhen go." Hou laughed and said, "Is he the lover of that maid of yours? Well, in order not to make her cry, I will let Hu Zhen go." Hu Zhen shouted: "No, no! Patriarch, you can't promise..." Hou slapped her palm, and Hu Zhen fainted to the ground.Fen spread his palms and said with a smile: "Finally I can talk quietly with my good brother." Jing asked: "A fair duel?" Hou said: "Yes, until one of them dies, the surviving one is naturally better, and no one can question the final result! Even if the mother sees it, she must admit it, right?" Jing stared at Hou, with deep sadness in her black eyes. Hou smiled and said: "Since I was a child, my mother has been cheating for you. No matter what I do, I am always inferior to you. Tu Shanjing, you owe me a fair competition." The sadness in Jing's eyes was like thick ink, and he said: "Since this is a fair duel, you have already chosen the method of the duel, and I will choose the location of the duel." Hou smiled disdainfully: "Yes!" "Okay! I promise you!" "This is the antidote!" Hou threw a pill to Yiying, turned around and walked towards the outer hall. Jing silently followed behind Hou.From childhood to adulthood, he has followed Hou Hou countless times, slipped out to play with his brother, went to school with his brother, went hunting with his brother, and greeted his grandma with his brother... Back then, they would never have imagined that there would be a Today, they will fight to the death. The two flew out of Qingshui Town on horseback, and Jing chose a piece of wasteland on the shore of Qingshui: "It's here!" Hou said: "There are mountains and rivers, so it's not bad to be your resting place!" Jing looked at Hou, and Hou made a gesture of invitation. The mist rose from Jing's side and gradually filled the whole wilderness. Hou snorted coldly with disdain: "A fox is a fox, and will never dare to face the enemy head-on. Even children and grandchildren can't change this stinky problem!" The hands of the harpoon formed the seal, and the water spirits gathered to form a blue tiger, running and roaring in the white mist.The tiger suddenly jumped up to pounce on the prey, and a white nine-tailed fox hidden in the white mist rolled away to escape. Hou laughed loudly: "Jing, I know that you agreed to the duel to delay the time, I hope you and the others can come, next month is your big day, you really want to go back alive to be the groom, but I tell you, it is absolutely impossible !" Hou drove the tiger to kill the nine-tailed fox, because Hou was better at killing since he was a child, and the tiger was obviously stronger than the nine-tailed fox. open. Hou smiled: "It's not just you who are the offspring of the fox." Spiritual power surged.The blue tiger turned into white, and the figure of the white tiger also disappeared into the mist. In the white mist, many nine-tailed foxes suddenly appeared, and one after another jumped over the white tiger. The white tiger rushed to the left and right, but none of them fell down, panting from exhaustion. , the tiger's stature is shrinking. Hou knew that this was Jing's maze, and those nine-tailed foxes should all be fake. If this continues, his spiritual power would be exhausted, so Hou closed his eyes suddenly, and the white tiger also closed their eyes. Can't see, all confusion is empty.Although the nine-tailed fox ran right by the tiger, the tiger remained unmoved and hid in the mist, only pricking up its ears vigilantly. Hou secretly rejoiced that Jing's throat and hands were destroyed by him, and he couldn't sing or play the sound of mystery.People in the world only know that Mr. Qingqiu's piano skills and singing are peerless, and that he is a romantic and elegant thing, but they don't know that it is a maze that Jing practiced since childhood.If Jing can use the sound of the mystery now, he will have to plug his ears. A blind and deaf tiger Hai really doesn't know how to kill the nine-tailed fox. The tiger's ears moved, and it leaped up with its body abruptly. It seemed to be attacking the nine-tailed fox on the left, but its chain-like tail ruthlessly cut at the nine-tailed fox on the right. The fox jumped out and dodged it, but the fluffy tail didn't dodge. The tiger's tail cut it firmly, and two of them were broken at once. There was a fishy sweetness in Jing's throat, blood came from the corner of his mouth, the white mist faded a lot, and the tiger grew up a circle. The nine-tailed fox lost its two tails, and it was no longer as flexible as before. Because the white mist had faded, it was not easy to hide, and the tiger began to kill it fiercely.After a while, the nine-tailed fox was bitten off by the tiger again. Hou said: "Jing, if you admit defeat and admit that you are not as good as me, I will let you die happily." Jing's face was pale, she pursed her mouth tightly, and said nothing.Hou said: "Then I can only tear off your tails one by one, and let you die in the most painful way!" The tiger bit off another tail of the nine-tailed fox. While fighting the pain that seemed to be torn apart in his body, Jing continued to fight with Hou. As soon as the tiger caught it, the nine-tailed fox broke another tail. Hou roared and asked, "Jing, you would rather have your internal organs shattered than say that you are not as good as me?" Jing's body trembled slightly, but her voice was cold and calm: "If my former elder brother asked me this question, I would immediately admit that I am indeed inferior to him in many aspects. But now you ask me, I can tell you clearly, I I look down on you! You are just a weak person whose heart is controlled by hatred!" Hou was so angry that his face twisted and he let out a roar. A tiger howled, like a thunderbolt in the middle of the sky, shaking the mountains and forests trembling.The tiger jumped up and down several times, crushing the Nine-Tailed Fox under its paws. Jing fell to the ground, covered in blood. Hou growled and said, "Who is the weak now? How dare you look down on me? Say! Who is the weak?" Jing didn't say a word, and didn't even look at Hou. The tiger tore it hard with one claw, and one of the tails of the nine-tailed fox was torn off, and Jing's body convulsed with pain.Hou roared and asked, "Who is worse than whom? You answer! Who is inferior to whom? Answer me..." The white tiger's hind paws pressed the nine-tailed fox, and its front body was raised high. The two front paws were about to pounce heavily on the nine-tailed fox's body, tearing the nine-tailed fox into pieces. Suddenly, Hou's body froze, the roar disappeared, and Bai Hu's body was slowly blurring. Hou lowered his head in disbelief, and saw an arrow with a mandarin duck engraved on his heart. He touched the mandarin duck on the arrow cluster and murmured: "Yiying!" Hau raised his eyes to the sky. A white celestial horse landed, and Yiying in a black dress was lying on the celestial horse, holding a beautifully cast bow in his hand. Because of her weak body, she was probably afraid that she would fall when shooting an arrow, so Yiying tied herself to the pegasus with a rope.Now, Yiying untied the rope, and immediately slid off the celestial horse. She seemed to be unable to stand still, but she used a bow as a stick, and staggered over step by step. Hou stared at Yiying, the blood dripping from her heart, and she smiled ironically on her lips: "This is the bow and arrow I designed and cast for you." "You gave it to me too!" Yiying tore off her veil. Her face was like a mummy, with almost no flesh and blood, a layer of dry skin wrinkled and sticking to the bones, but her eyes were still like a young girl, looking forward, it was creepy. There was a gurgling sound in Hou's throat, and he didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry: "You saved him? You came to save him? If it wasn't for him, why would you and I be here?" "Maybe you should say that without you, everything would be completely different!" Yiying looked at Jing with extremely complicated emotions in her eyes. She had hurt him repeatedly, but he forgave her. Seen as weak, but until I also experienced heartbreaking pain.Only then did she understand that hatred is very simple, but forgiveness requires a strong and broad heart. Yiying staggered towards Hou, "But I met you first! On the May Festival of that year, my girlfriend and I finished swimming in Gaoxin and watched the people of Gaoxin put up lanterns. I didn't expect an accident. , I accidentally fell into the water, I can't swim, but I was entangled by the water plant demon, you saved me, you supported a small boat, and while taking me to watch the lanterns, you helped me find my companions, I see This is not the first time you have come to Gaoxin. I asked you why you came to Gaoxin. You said, "I came to see a woman on purpose. I heard that she came to see the lanterns." I knew that I was engaged, but I felt a little disappointed. Later, I found my companions, you heard them call me 'Yiying', suddenly asked 'Are you Miss Fangfeng'? I said 'yes', you stared at me for a moment, smiled and said 'So it's you'! After finishing speaking, you supported the boat and slid towards the sea of ​​lights. I heard someone calling "Mr. Tu Shan" in the distance. You answered, and the female companions looked at me and laughed. We all thought you were with me. Mr. Tu Shan, who is engaged, came to see me specially. I looked at the direction where you left, and I was surprised and happy, and the words "So it's you" echoed in my heart! I prepared my wedding dress and waited happily to get married. But there was news that you were seriously ill, and the wedding was cancelled. My father found out that you were not sick but missing. He was reluctant to waste my carefully cultivated chess piece on a dead person. He wanted to divorce, but I always saw your figure in front of me. The lanterns are like a sea, and you are holding a small boat, smiling and saying, "So it's you!" I ignored my father's objection, put on my wedding dress, and rushed all the way to Qingqiu. The only thought was that I must find the murderer who killed you. , whoever kills you, I will kill him for you! Although you did not marry me, I regard myself as your wife and serve grandma with all my heart. When I am sure that Tu Shanhou killed you, I am determined to do it for You take revenge. After Hou came back, try to kill him. That day was the Lantern Festival, you just finished a big deal, and you came back from Xuanyuan City. I helped grandma to welcome you. Carrying a crystal lamp, I walked slowly, I stared at you blankly, and the buzzing sound in my ear was 'So it's you'!" Yiying tried her best to shoot the arrow. At this moment, she couldn't walk steadily, she stumbled on the weeds and fell to the ground.She didn't care to wipe off the dirt on her face, and looked up at Hou: "At that moment, my hatred turned into joy. I don't care who you are or what you have done. As long as you are still alive, I will love you." Very happy." Yi Ying asked softly, "Hou, I just want to know, do you have any sincerity towards me?" Hou sneered and said sarcastically: "People are going to die, so what if there is sincerity, and what if there is no sincerity?" Yiying climbed a few steps forward, stood up tremblingly, she turned her head and said to Jing: "I promised Hou to set this trap, not to trap you, but to trap and kill Hou. I told you before, I Unlike you, the person who has let me down, I need him to pay back! The poison of Zhen’er has been cured, I left him a letter to let her know that his parents did something wrong, I hope that when he grows up, Can help me repay what I owe you. Jing, I'm sorry! It's not that you are bad, but that you are too good! God knows that I am not good enough for you, so let me meet him first!" Yiying walked up to Hou, hugged Hou, and said in Hou's ear, "It doesn't matter if you are sincere or not, anyway, you promised me to be a mandarin duck that crosses necks, and we will live and die together." She hugged Hou tightly with one hand. He held the arrow on Hou's back with one hand, and sent it forward with all his strength. The arrow passed through Hou's heart and inserted into her heart. Although Hou received a fatal arrow, the spiritual energy in his body has not yet dissipated, so he can completely push Yiying away, but I don't know if Hou didn't react, or he has a sincere heart for Yiying, and let Yiying hug her tightly. stopped him.Hou seemed to know exactly what Yiying wanted to do. When Yiying just held the arrow, he stretched out his hands and hugged Yiying tightly. While pressing Yiying into his arms, he said with a smile to Jing : "This time, it's still unfair, and someone cheated for you again! It's still my wife!" When the arrow pierced Yiying's heart, Hou exhausted all his remaining strength, rushed forward, and kicked Jing's heart fiercely: "Let's die together!" Jing's body flew up and fell into the clear water. That kick probably used up all of Hou's spiritual power, his eyes were wide open angrily, his breath was cut off, but his body was still moving, he rushed forward like a wild tiger, and fell into the clear water intentionally. Yiying hugged him tightly, leaning in his arms, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. The two people who were connected by a cross-necked mandarin duck arrow disappeared together in the rolling waves. When Xiaoyao arrived at Qingshui Town, it was just sunset. A blood-stained wasteland: an untied pegasus, leisurely gnaws on the blades of grass; a blood-stained mandarin duck bow lies quietly in the grass, and the golden sunset is reflected on the bow.people, but none of them were seen. Xiaoyao knew very well that Jing was not good at fighting people at all, the gap between him and the harp was like the gap between the fox and the tiger in the forest, the tiger might not be able to catch the fox in the forest, but if the fox had a duel with the tiger, it would definitely be A dead end.Hou kept talking about a fair duel, but in fact he used his own strengths to compete with Jing's shortcomings, so that Jing would die no matter whether he agreed or not. But Xiao Yao didn't believe it, she told herself over and over that Jing must be alive!Must be alive!Because he was going to marry her in twenty-four days, how could he not be alive? Xiaoyao kept calling along the river bank: "Jing—Jing—" No one responded to her. Xiaoyao refused to give up, her voice was already hoarse, and she kept screaming, Jingye knelt in front of her, crying and said: "We have searched, there is no patriarch." Hu Ya and You walked back and forth in the barren grass, and You stayed on a pile of overwhelmed grass by the bank. Hu Ya said to Xiaoyao: "This is the blood of the patriarch, it should be the blood of the nine-tailed fox with concentrated spiritual power. His tail was cut off one by one, and the patriarch's five internal organs were severely injured, no matter how hard he was to support himself, he fell here." Hu Ya walked around, looked up at You, You shook his head, Hu Ya said: "This is the last place where the patriarch stayed, he was seriously injured, his movements will be very slow, no matter where he moves, he will leave traces, unless ..." You nodded, Hu Ya pointed to Qingshui and said, "Unless the patriarch jumped into the river from here." Jing Ye said happily: "That means the patriarch has escaped, and he must still be alive." Jing Ye glanced at You, and said with a gloomy face, "You don't know for sure. If the patriarch escaped, then Hou should still be alive, but she smelled the death of Hou." Hu Ya pointed to the long trail of blood on the ground , spreading from a distance to the shore, "The blood all flowed from Hou's heart, and when he reached the shore, there was no trace of life in the blood, which meant that his vitality was dead." Xiaoyao asked You anxiously and fearfully: "You can smell Hou's death breath, so... what about other people's?" Hu Ya said: "The patriarch is the king of the fox clan, You have no ability to judge his life or death." Hu Ya saw Xiaoyao's face was pale, his eyes were full of anxiety, as if he would burst into tears at any moment, he couldn't bear to add: "At present, Only the harp can't smell the dead air of Fangfeng Yiying." Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, you are sure that Jing fell into the river." Hu Ya said: "It is impossible for the patriarch to disappear out of thin air, this is the only possibility." "I'll go find him!" Xiaoyao jumped into the river with a plop, and her figure was swept away by the waves in an instant. Hu Ya shouted, "Boats have been sent to search along the river." Jing Ye shed tears and said: "Let her go, if she is not allowed to do anything, she may collapse." That night, the lights on the Qingshui River were brightly lit. Some boats went down the current and some went up the river, searching back and forth in the river. There were also dozens of water monsters who were proficient in water skills and were searching at the bottom of the river. In the middle of the night, more boats and more water monsters proficient in water came to Qingshui Town one after another to join the search team, and the Qingshui River was as lively as a festival. The sky was about to dawn, the darkest hour of the day was also the coldest hour of the day, Zhuan Xu arrived. He was dressed in a military uniform, and he was travel-stained. Obviously, after hearing the news in the army, he had no time to change his clothes, so he drove the fastest mount and came galloping. Xiaoyao is still looking for Jing in the river, she hasn't been out of the water since yesterday evening.She searched inch by inch under the water, and even searched from Qingshui Town to Renhaikou. The boat brought Xiaoyao back to Qingshui Town, but Xiaoyao refused to give up, and wanted to go upstream from Qingshui Town, everyone could see that Xiaoyao was exhausted, but no one could stop her.When Xiaoyao jumped into the river, her legs twitched and she couldn't swim at all, but she held onto the side of the boat tightly, but she refused to come up, as if as long as she stayed in the water, she could get closer to Jing and make Jing more One point of life. Until Zhuanxu arrived, he forcibly lifted Xiaoyao out of the water. Xiaoyao's face was pale and pale, her lips were purple and black, her eyes were dull, her hair was dripping wet on her cheeks, her whole body was as cold as ice, when Zhuanxu called her to drink some wine, she didn't respond.Zhuanxu pinched her cheek, forced her to open her mouth, and forced her to pour a small pot of strong wine into it. Xiaoyao bent down and coughed violently, and her whole body seemed to come alive. Xiaoxiao dried Xiaoyao's hair with a handkerchief, and dried her clothes with spiritual power.Zhuanxu wrapped Xiaoyao in a blanket, wanting to hug her and leave.Xiaoyao's eyes stared in horror, she shrank back and shook her head vigorously, Zhuanxu had no choice but to let Xiaoyao sit on the bank. Xiaoyao stared blankly at the boats coming and going on the river, no matter what Zhuan Xu said, she didn't seem to hear, but after a while, she asked, "Did you find it?" Until noon, Qingshui was turned upside down, not only did not find Jing, but also did not find Hou and Yiying, the only harvest was a jade bracelet.The green nephrite jade does not see any carvings, but the jade itself is good, its color is crystal clear and its texture is fine, because it has not yet been finished, and its shape has not yet come out. Jing Ye saw it, and cried and said: "The patriarch said that the young lady doesn't like to wear jewelry, and the bracelet is not cumbersome to wear, so I made this bracelet myself." Xiao Yao suddenly stood up.Zhuan Xu grabbed her and asked, "Where did you find it?" A person separated the crowd and went forward and said: "In the lower reaches of the river, it is already close to the place where it enters the sea." Xiao Yao said anxiously: "Jing...Jing is there!" "Because they found this jade bracelet, the villains searched up and down again, even under the larger stones, but found nothing. It seems to have drifted into the sea along the current." "Then go and search in the sea." Xiao Yao's voice was as sharp as the strings of a zither. Everyone didn't dare to say more, and said in a low voice: "I've searched all around the mouth of the sea." Regardless of whether the Tu Shan family or the people sent by Zhuanxu tried their best to find the nearby sea area, but it was a boundless sea, let alone a single person, even if they sank a mountain into it, they would not be able to find it. easy to find.What's more, there are all kinds of ferocious fish monsters in the sea, and the gods' bodies contain spiritual energy, which is their favorite. Zhuanxu ordered: "Keep looking!" "Yes!" The people who got on the boat got on the boat, and those who got into the water went into the water, and after a while, all of them were gone. Under the bright sunshine, the river was full of waves, rushing forward swiftly, without delay, and without a trace of sadness, without even realizing that what it devoured was the happiness of two people. Xiao Yao staggered and said, "I'm going to find him!" Zhuanxu said: "Even if you go to Jing, you have to eat something. How can you go to him if you don't have the strength? Be good, let's eat something first." Xiaoyao wanted to break free from Zhuanxu's hand, and said stubbornly, "I'm going to take revenge!" Zhuanxu glanced at Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao immediately ran away, and after a while, she came over with a small boat, and Zhuanxu took Xiaoyao and jumped onto the boat. The boat was going downstream, Xiaoyao was holding the unfinished bracelet in her hand, staring blankly at the water surface, as if she wanted to see clearly what the river that mercilessly took Jing away looked like. Xiaoxiao's spiritual power is strong, and the boat travels fast. When the sun was setting, the boat approached the mouth of the sea. There were many boats from the river to the sea, still searching around. Xiaoxiao withdrew her spiritual power and allowed the boat to slowly drift forward along the current. Xiaoyao touched the bracelet and murmured: "Is this the bracelet you found here?" Xiaoyao struggled to stand up, wanting to jump into the water. Zhuan Xu held her back: "You can't even stand firmly, what can you do if you go down?" The boat swayed, Xiaoyao fell limply into Zhuanxu's arms, but still insisted on getting into the water, her eyes were fixed on the water surface: "I...I...go find him!" Zhuanxu pinched her chin, raised her head forcefully, forced her to look around, and almost roared, "Look, how many people are looking for him? They are stronger and stronger than you, and they are more familiar with the waters here than you are." , than you know how to find people underwater, if you go down, I will let them follow you and protect you, are you looking for people, or are you causing them trouble?" Xiaoyao's lips trembled, and her body also trembled. Zhuan Xu hugged her and softened his voice: "Xiaoyao, if Jing is still there, they will definitely find it." Xiaoyao stared closely at the person who was searching underwater. They worked in pairs, cooperating with each other, and really missed even an inch. Xiaoxiao propped up the boat and slowly followed behind the person who was searching for Jing. Searching from the sun's west slant until midnight, the boat has entered the deep sea. It was a night without stars and wind, the moon in the sky was extraordinarily bright, and the sea under the moonlight was extraordinarily quiet.Thousands of people are still searching for Jing, because everyone is wearing the luminous pearls urgently called by Tu Shanshi. Thousands of pearls are scattered in the sea, just like thousands of stars, swaying and twinkling in the sea. It had been two days and two nights since he fell into the water, and all the searchers knew that there was no hope, but without Zhuanxu's order, no one dared to give up, not even a little slack. Xiaoyao stared at the black sea and murmured: "I don't understand. Every time I made a mistake before, I knew where I went wrong. Sometimes it was because he was benevolent, and sometimes it was because I didn't trust him and didn't hold him fast. What did we do wrong once? There was nothing wrong with him rushing to see a critically ill child, there was nothing wrong with him taking all the hidden guards carefully, there was nothing wrong with him writing to me before setting off, there was nothing wrong with him being shot dead by random arrows and being able to In the time-delaying duel, there is nothing wrong with choosing a duel, and I rushed here as soon as I received his letter, and I am also right, so what is wrong?" Zhuan Xu said, "None of you is wrong." "If none of us are wrong, why are we wrong?" Zhuan Xu couldn't answer. "We made mistakes in the past. If we change it, everything will be fine, but what should we do this time? Brother, tell me: what did we do wrong? I will change it, and I will definitely change it. No matter what I did wrong, I will change it." ... Xiaoyao's body leaned forward in pain, and there was a retching sound in her throat. She hadn't eaten for two days and nights, and couldn't vomit at all, but she kept retching in pain, as if she wanted to spit out all her internal organs . "Xiaoyao...Xiaoyao..." Zhuan Xu lightly supported Xiaoyao's back. Spiritual power could alleviate the pain of the body, but it could not relieve Xiaoyao's pain. Her pain was born from the heart. The moon quietly sets from the west, and the sun quietly peeps out from the east. The fiery red morning glow dyes the sky and the sea red for half a day. A sergeant who looked like a commander came to report: "We have searched continuously for two nights and one day, and many soldiers fainted due to exhaustion of spiritual energy. Your Majesty, should we continue to search after a short rest, or should we call in more people?" Zhuanxu said: "After a short rest, continue to search. Then send an order to send a thousand soldiers from the Shui tribe." The sergeant hesitated to speak, and after a moment, he bent over and promised, "Yes!" The exhausted soldiers climbed onto the ship to rest, and they didn't even have the strength to drink water, so they lay in disorder on the deck. Many people fainted one after another, and they heard shouts from time to time: "Doctor! Doctor!" Some people didn't even have the strength to climb onto the boat. Halfway through the climb, they fell into the sea again with a splash, and all the soldiers behind fell down. Perhaps because of Zhuanxu's presence, no one dared to make a sound, even if they fell, they just climbed up again with pale faces and clenched teeth. Xiaoyao stared blankly at them for a while, then turned her eyes to the boundless sea. The sea is so vast and boundless, even if the soldiers of the whole country are thrown into the wild, it is only a drop in the ocean. She can't find Jing! Xiao Yao whispered, "Tell them not to look for it." Zhuanxu said: "Maybe Jing will be rescued by some fishing boat; maybe he will meet the sharks and be sent back to land by the sharks." Xiaoyao's tears flowed down like pearls with broken strings: "There are still 22 days until our wedding day, he hurry up and still make it back." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yao suddenly fell straight forward, and Zhuan Xu quickly reached out to grab her.After two days and two nights without eating and resting, and being overwhelmed with grief, Xiaoyao finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed out. Zhuanxu carefully wrapped Xiaoyao in a blanket, held her in his arms, and watched her carefully. Xiaoyao's complexion turned blue, her lips turned white, and she seemed to be out of shape for two nights. Zhuanxu felt chest tightness and pain. He looked at the gorgeous morning glow in the sky, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: " Xiaoyao, everything will pass, sooner or later you will forget him!" Xiaoyao was in a coma for four days. Yin said that her body was normal, but she seemed to be seriously ill and was unconscious. Even in a coma, she would tremble in pain, but she just couldn't wake up. Zhuanxu was in a hurry, but he had no choice but to stay by Xiaoyao's side. After four days and four nights, Xiaoyao finally woke up, her whole body was emaciated, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. Zhuanxu was also so tired that he lost a lot of weight. He wanted to take Xiaoyao back, but Xiaoyao refused, so Zhuanxu had to stay with Xiaoyao on the East Sea for more than ten days. Every night Xiaoyao was waiting, she would go into the sea every day, Zhuanxu had nothing to do with her, he could only send Xiaoxiao to follow her every day. Until the eleventh day, there are still four days until Wangri—the wedding date of Jing and Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao said to Zhuanxu, "I want to go back to Shennong Mountain." Zhuanxu took Xiaoyao back to Shennong Mountain, and when Xiaoyao saw the Yellow Emperor, she asked, "Grandfather, is my wedding dress finished?" Huang Di said, "Okay." "Is the dowry ready?" "It's ready." Xiaoyao seemed relieved and went back to her room. The Yellow Emperor looked gloomy, staring at the green hills not far away.There was just a thunderstorm in the morning, the green mountains were green, and a lot of water had accumulated in the fields below the mountains. A group of egrets were looking for food with their heads down and up. Huangdi stood silently for a long time before asking, "Is Jing dead?" Zhuanxu said, "Dead." Huang Di closed his eyes and stood still for a moment, as if he was suddenly tired and aged, he bent his waist.Walking into the house: "During these days, you are out of political affairs." Zhuanxu said: "I'm not neglecting political affairs. Even at the East Sea, I still dare not slack off every day. I let Xiaoxiao watch Xiaoyao during the day, and I can only accompany her at night." The Yellow Emperor said wearily: "It's best if you know what you're doing. Tu Shan's business is spread all over the Great Wilderness. The sudden accident of the patriarch will not only affect the big clans in the Great Wilderness, but if you don't handle it well, it will even affect the whole Great Wilderness. The tranquility of the crisis now." Zhuanxu stood in the courtyard for a while, jumped on his mount, and rushed back to Zijinding. He couldn't rest, but immediately summoned some important officials and confidantes. 十四日夜，天上的月儿看上去已经圆了，依旧没有璟的消息。 章莪殿冷冷清清，没有丝毫送亲的样子，可那早早就布置好的喜庆装饰却依旧在，没有人敢用，也没有人敢取下，人人都在努力的装作明日没有什么特别，普通得不能再普通。 半夜里，小夭从梦里惊醒，好似听到有人叩窗，她光着脚就跳到了地上，几步跃到窗旁，打开窗户：“璟……璟，是你回来了吗？” 苗莆一手拿着明珠灯，一手拿着衣服：“小姐，只是风吹树枝的声音。” 小夭觉得头有晕，站不稳，她倚在窗上，喃喃说：“真的不是他吗？” 明亮的月光下，窗外一览无余，只有花木，不见人影。小夭失望伤心，幽幽问“苗莆，你说为什么我一次都没有梦见璟昵？” 苗莆把衣服披到小夭身上，又拿了绣鞋给小夭，不知道该如何回答小夭的问题，只能含糊地说：“奴婢不知道。” 小夭仰头看着月亮，说道：“我很想他。就算真的见不到了，梦里见见也是好的。” 苗莆鼻子发酸，她跟在小夭身边，看着小天和璟一路走来的不容易，本以为一切要圆满了，却变故突生。 小夭说：“大概因为我没有亲眼看见，一切都不像真的，总觉得他随时会出现。为什么一个人可以说消失就消失？为什么他都没有和我道别？我宁可他死在我怀里，好歹两人能把最后想说的话都说了，可这样算什么昵？头一日我还收到他亲手写的信，叮嘱我要好好睡觉，别总夜里看书，可隔一日，所有人就都说他没了。怎么可能，我不相信！他为什么不告诉我一声？我恨他！”小夭对着月亮太叫：“涂山璟，我恨你！” 夜风徐徐，银盘无声。 小夭无力地垂下了头，泪如雨一般坠落：“可是，我舍不得恨你，我知道，你不能守约，你肯定也很痛苦。” 苗莆用衣袖悄悄擦去脸上的泪：“别想了，睡吧！” 小夭对苗莆说：“去拿截汤谷扶桑枝来。” 苗莆猜不到小夭想干什么，也没问，立即跑去拿。 她回来时，小夭站在廊下，居然搬着个梯子。苗莆把用玉石包着的扶桑枝拿给小夭：“小姐，拿来了。小心点，这东西看似无火，实际全是火，手要握在外面的玉石上。” 小夭放好梯子，接过扶桑枝，爬到了梯子顶，用扶桑枝把廊下的大红灯笼点燃。 小夭跳下梯子，想要搬梯子。 苗莆已经明白小夭想干什么，立即说：“我来！”她是颛顼训练的暗卫，灵力高强，轻轻松松地把梯子移到了另一盏灯笼下。 小夭爬上去，点燃了灯笼。 安静黑沉的夜里，苗莆陪着小夭，一个搬梯子，一个点灯笼，将章莪殿内的红灯笼一盏盏点亮。 廊下、门前、亭中、桥头……花灯挂在不同的地方，样子各式和样，圆的、八角的、四方的……材质也各种各样，羊皮做的、鲛绡做的、琉璃做的、芙蓉做的……可不管什么样的花灯，都是同一种颜色——吉祥喜庆的红色。 随着一盏盏红色的花灯亮起，整个章莪殿都笼罩在朦胧的红光中，平添了几分热闹和欢喜。 点亮殿门前最后的两盏红灯笼，小夭跳下梯子，望着满殿的喜庆，对苗莆说：“好了！” 回到屋内，苗莆看小夭眼眶下有青影，劝道：“天就要亮了，小姐赶紧歇息吧！” 小夭坐到镜前，对苗莆说：“帮我梳妆。” 这段日子，小夭连饭都懒得吃，几曾梳妆打扮过？苗莆愣了一下，明白了小夭的心意，她忍着心酸说：“是！” 苗莆并不会梳理嫁妇的发髻，那要专门训练过的老妪才会梳，可因为璟出事了，本来应该来的老妪都没来。苗莆梳了小夭最喜欢的垂云髻，把以前璟送给小夭的步摇为小夭插好。 小夭对着镜子照了照，和苗莆一起动手，为自己上了一个淡妆。 小夭问：“我的嫁衣呢？” 苗莆打开箱笼，拿出了红底金绣的嫁衣，有些迟疑地叫：“小姐？” 小夭展开双手，肯定地说：“我要穿！” 苗莆咬了咬牙，展开嫁衣，服侍小夭穿衣。 自颛顼迁都轵邑后，西边和中原的衣饰渐有融合，小夭的嫁衣就兼其二者之长，有神农的精致繁丽，也有轩辕的简洁流畅，穿上后，庄重美丽，却不影响行动。 待收拾停当后，小夭就好似等待出嫁的新娘一般，安静地坐在了榻上。 小夭问：“苗莆，你知道定的吉辰是什么时候吗？” "have no idea." “你说璟知道吗？” “肯定知道。” "That's good." 小夭从榻头拿了一册帛书，竟然翻阅起医书来，苗莆呆呆站了一会儿，出去端了些汤水糕点来，摆在小夭身侧的小几上。 正午时分，黄帝来章莪殿，看到小夭穿着嫁衣端坐在榻上，嫁衣的明媚飞扬和翻看医书的沉静寂寞形成了诡异的对比。 仲夏日，灿烂的阳光从窗户活泼地洒入，照在小夭身上，却没有照出吉祥如意、一世好合，而是生离死别、一生情殇。 低垂着眼眸的小夭是多么像她啊！黄帝好似看到眼前的小夭守着一个寂寞的屋子迅速老去，青丝染上了飞霜，花般的容颜枯槁，朝云殿内苍老寂寥的身影和眼前的小夭重合，黄帝竟不忍再看，猛然闭上了眼睛。 小夭听到声音，抬头看去，见是黄帝，她探头去看窗外的日冕。 黄帝走进屋子，看小几上的糕点和汤水一点没动，他说：“小夭，陪我吃点东西。” 小夭收回目光，拿起一块糕点，一点点吃着。 黄帝陪着小夭，从正午一直等到天色黑透，苗莆把明珠灯一一打开。 因为璟的突然身亡，颛顼这段日子忙得焦头烂额。 等忙完手头的事，天色已黑，他顾不上吃饭，就赶来小月顶。 小夭这段日子都在章莪殿，他也径直去往章莪殿，坐骑还在半空，就看到章莪殿笼罩在一片喜庆的红色中。 待飞近了，看到——从门前，廊下到桥头，亭角的花灯都点亮了，各式各样的花灯，照出了各种各样的喜庆。 坐骑落在正殿前，颛顼跃下坐骑，阴沉着脸问：“怎么回事？” 潇潇弯身奏道：“是小姐昨夜点燃的。”当日布置时，所用器物都是最好的，这些灯笼里的灯油可长燃九日。 颛顼静静地凝视着廊下的一排红色花灯，潇潇屏息静气，纹丝不动。 半晌后，颛顼的神情渐渐缓和，提步要去小夭的寝殿。 潇潇立即跪下，小心地奏道：“小姐换上了嫁衣、上了妆。” 颛顼猛地停住了步子，面色铁青，一字一顿地问：“她穿上了嫁衣？” "yes!" 颛顼没有往前走，却也没有回身，潇潇弯身跪着，额头紧贴着地，看不到颛顼，却能听到颛顼沉重的呼吸，一呼一吸间，潇潇的身子在轻颤。 一会儿后，颛顼转身，一言不发地跃上坐骑，离开了章莪殿。 潇潇瘫软在地，这才敢吐出一口一直憋着的气，背上已经冒了密密麻麻一层的冷汗。 潇潇走进寝殿，向黄帝和小夭奏道：“黑帝陛下有要事处理，今晚就不来了，明日再来看陛下和小姐。” 小夭心神根本不在，压根儿没有反应。黄帝却深深盯了潇潇一眼，什么都没说，挥了下手，示意她出去。 小夭低声问：“是不是吉辰已经过了？” 黄帝说：“小夭，璟不会回来了，你的一生还很长，你忘记他吧！” 小夭说：“外爷，我想休息了，你回去休息吧！” 黄帝担心地看着小夭，小夭说：“我没事，我只是……需要时间。” 黄帝默默看了一会儿小夭，站起身，脚步蹒跚地走出了屋子。 小夭走到窗前，看着天上的圆月。 望日是月满之日，璟选定这个日子成婚，应该想要他们的婚姻圆圆满满吧？可竟然是团圆月不照团圆人。 小夭告诉黄帝她只是需要时间，可是，这个时间究竟是多久呢？究竟要有多久才能不心痛？ 小夭问：“苗莆，你说究竟要有多久我才能不心痛？” 苗莆讷讷地说：“大概就像受了重伤一样，刚开始总会很痛，慢慢地，伤口结疤，痛的轻一点，再后来，伤疤慢慢脱落，就不怎么疼了。” 小夭颔首，她不是没受过伤，她很清楚如何才能不痛苦。 想要不痛苦，就要遗忘！时间就像黄沙，总能将人心上的一切都掩埋。 But-- 璟，我不愿意！ 如果不痛苦的代价是遗忘你，我宁愿一直痛苦，我会让你永远活在我心里，知道我生命的尽头。 我已经穿起嫁衣，对月行礼，从今夜起，我就是你的妻！
