Chapter 23 Twenty-first round of turbid water, clear dust, southwest wind

During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains. On the simple and elegant tombstone, there is a series of elegant official scripts engraved: "Tomb of Mrs. Wu in Shenmen".The inscription was written by the mother herself. That year she became ill from overwork, and knowing that she would not live long, she called her two immature children to her face and said, "In the future, when mother is gone, you two will stay here and don't go back to Dongting Lake. Xuan'er, You are an older brother, so take good care of your younger sister." Yingying was still young and didn't know much about life and death, so she just glanced at her mother and then at her elder brother.

"When my younger sister turns seventeen, I will send her to marry the child of the Chen family. The Chen family is very good and will take care of you in the future. It's a pity that I don't have time to arrange for you. Fortunately, you have always been sensible. Remember not to imitate Martial arts..." If my mother knew that she not only learned martial arts, but also wandered around the rivers and lakes, and gave up family thoughts, I don't know how she would feel. The paper money turned into black butterflies, swirling in the cold wind, moistened by the drizzle, and stuck to the bluestone tombstone.

It was really too young at that time, and now the face of my mother is blurred in my memory, only the voice is clearly printed in my mind.It wasn't until now that he discovered that even his father's name was not mentioned on his mother's tombstone. The surrounding area of ​​the tomb was cleaned very well, and some magnolia trees were also pruned by someone, so that they grew luxuriantly and gracefully.It's just that the flowering period has passed, and there is rain in the sky. "The wave of Dongting is cold and the dawn invades the clouds, and the sails are sailing every day to send people far away. I have seen Mulan on the boat several times, but I don't know that it is the body of this flower." Mulan was born in Huxiang and was her mother's favorite flower during her lifetime. "Flowers" is also my mother's favorite poem.It's a pity that my mother didn't want to go back to the hometown where Mulan was raised.When he was young, his mother was his closest person. Until now, he realized that he didn't understand his mother at all, and he didn't understand the deep sadness and sorrow hidden in her heart at all.

It was Chen Ruiji and Yingying who worked tirelessly to plant a magnolia tree on their mother's grave. They must come here often to pay respects.But today is Qingming, why haven't they come yet? The mountain road was winding, and a small donkey cart stopped in the drizzle.A young couple got out of the car, half of their faces were covered by bamboo hats and coir raincoats, and they looked at Shen Xuan carefully. Shen Xuan smiled slightly, and the young woman ran over cheering: "Brother!" Chen Ruiji got a little fatter, Yingying changed her attire as a woman, and still kept her vivaciousness, she carried a little girl with two braids from the car: "Ah Yuan, quickly call uncle!" Shen Xuan hugged the child , mixed feelings at the moment.

Yingying complained: "Brother, you are too disrespectful. You haven't come to see us for several years. But uncle is really clever. He said that you will come back to visit the grave, and you will come!" Shen Xuan was stunned: "What uncle?" A white-haired old man climbed out of the car and staggered forward with a cane, wasn't it Wu Jianzhi? Whether Wu Jianzhi came to look for Shen Xuan, Shen Xuan would also go to Dongting Junshan to look for him, of course not just to visit his aunt's grave.He came back to Huluwan this time, first to see his long-lost mother, sister, and brother-in-law, and second, to collect the antidote for Meng Poliu for Yinyue's entrustment.But Wu Jianzhi was sure that he would go home, so he came to find him.

"Xuan'er, I still hope you go back to Sanzui Palace. There is no one in the door, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that if I die, there will be no Dongting sect in the world." As soon as Chen Ruiji and his wife left, Wu Jianzhi said to Shen Xuan.Shen Xuan remained silent, feeling completely unwilling in his heart. "This is the inheritance left by your grandfather!" Wu Jian knew.Shen Xuan remained silent. Wu Jianzhi sighed: "I know, you will never forget that girl from Tiantai Mountain. Now I also believe that she is not our enemy. She wronged you back then."

Shen Xuan couldn't help but said: "Uncle, do you know who killed Cousin Wu Ting?" "I know, it's the child Le Xiuning. In fact, at Hanxuanzi's place that day, I saw eight or nine points. I was the one who felt sorry for their father and daughter. I thought that Junior Brother Le would understand my difficulties, but they didn't. , I can only accept my fate, but it’s just a pain for Ting’er. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don’t get involved in it. I’m most afraid of the grievances of the older generation, which will affect you young people.” It has nothing to do with me again!Wu Jian knew why he avoided all questions. It seemed that his only son died, but he had no regrets. Did he really do anything wrong?Shen Xuan couldn't help frowning.

Wu Jianzhi saw his displeasure, and sighed secretly: "You asked me Tantai Shuran that day, and I remembered another thing. Is Jiang Lingqian really just an abandoned baby picked up by Jiang Tingsong? Temper, seems not to adopt a girl who has no relatives and no reason." Why did he bring up this matter again, and what did he know?Shen Xuan couldn't figure it out. "Xuan'er, there are some things you may not talk about, I'm just worried... Well, let me tell you, Tantai Shuran was your fourth uncle, a famous swordsman back then, and the most humane in the world." He was finally willing to say Yes, "the first master has four disciples: me, your father, and Xiuning's father, Le Ziyou, who are called Shuxian, Yixian, and Yixian by friends in the world. There is also a younger brother who is called Xiaoxiang Shenjian." , is Tantai Shuran. However, many people do not compare him with us. Because Tantai Shuran has a different identity, he is not a formal apprentice, but actually he was a servant of your family." "Servant?" Shen Xuan was a little surprised.

Wu Jianzhi nodded: "I can't remember which year, Dongting Lake flooded, and many victims were desperate and sold their children and daughters. A pair of little brothers and sisters named Tantai were both bought by the teacher and gave them another name. The boy called Shuran, the girl's name is Yanran. Because Tantai Shuran can read and write, his teacher asked him to be a little book boy, serving pen and ink. "The first teacher taught us martial arts, and he also looked on. After half a year, one day your father found that the third junior brother was beating him. It turned out that he was secretly learning martial arts of our school, and the third junior brother saw him when he was practicing. This is a rare thing in the martial arts world." Tantai Shu didn't understand the big taboo, and he refused to admit his mistake. Fortunately, your father stopped him quickly, otherwise his leg would have been broken by the third junior brother. Later, when the first master found out about this, he was not very angry, but on the contrary Examination of how he learned in the school, it turned out that he is really a genius in learning martial arts. Once the teacher was happy, he asked him to practice martial arts with us from then on, and taught him all the Kung Fu of the Dongting School. I can't think of this little book of the Three Zui Palace. Tong, later on he really became a generation of masters."

"Why should a hero ask about his background?" Shen Xuan sighed.Wu Jianzhi smiled and said: "You have such a big heart. It's just that at that time, the three of us were all disciples of famous families. Thinking that he was a servant who sold himself, I felt a little unbalanced. Although the brothers and sisters are well-known, they usually don't communicate with each other. Thinking about it now, I really feel ashamed." Wu Jianzhi didn't know that Shen Xuan was poor since he was a child, and he was very different from his parents, so naturally he didn't have the prejudice of a wealthy family.

"Tantai Shuran is a very smart and conceited person. We treat each other with courtesy on the surface, but he discriminates against him in our hearts. Of course he can see it. Maybe he behaved wildly and unruly later, which is also related to this. He entered the Jianghu very early. Later, she met Ren Fengchao, the patriarch of Wushan. Ren Fengchao was a martial artist, and she also liked Tantai Shuran's genius in swordsmanship, so she taught him a set of magical swordsmanship. This set of Wu Shan's swordsmanship, Tantai Shuran was invincible all over the world, and became famous in the martial arts for a while, many people thought he was the number one swordsman in the world. "However, he became famous, but he has always missed the favor of his master. Because the first master loved him as a genius, he was indeed very kind to him, almost more than your father. Later, the book "The River and the Sea Are Not Tie a Boat" was also intended to be passed on to him. Yes. You should know this. "Later he went to Mount Tiantai and married Jiang Mingzhu, the precious daughter of Chicheng old monster. At that time, the two factions in Dongting and Tiantai were at odds, and they were considered a romantic relationship. It is a pity that shortly after the death of the former teacher, Tantai Shuran died inexplicably. Jiang Mingzhu also remarried, she is Princess Wuyue." Shen Xuan thought to himself, so he knew all about it. Wu Jian knew: "But they also gave birth to a girl, but their whereabouts are unknown. I thought she was dead, but you asked me the other day, did she..." "You guessed it right, Uncle, that is Miss Jiang." Wu Jianzhi's face turned pale slightly: "I knew this..." He was speechless for a while, and then said after a while, "How did you know?" Shen Xuan said: "Prince Wu Yue said it before she died." "Then," Wu Jianzhi probed, "Didn't Miss Jiang die at her hands?" Shen Xuan said: "She didn't know that Miss Jiang was her daughter until she was dying. So, she committed suicide." Wu Jianzhi looked miserable and shook his head.Is there anything more cruel and tragic than a mother killing her own flesh and blood with her own hands? When this matter was brought up, Shen Xuan was of course sad, but he was already sad enough, but there were more important things to ask: "Uncle, Tantai Shuran was in Mount Lu, and was besieged by seven disciples of the Tiantai Sect. But Besides those seven people, there is another expert who is probably the real culprit who killed him." As if being hit in the head by someone, Wu Jianzhi was stunned and incoherent: "You...what did you say? Don't talk nonsense, how do you know!" Shen Xuan's eyes fell on his despondent look.Suspicion clouded his heart: "Uncle, who is that man?" Wu Jianzhi couldn't help shaking his head, but couldn't speak. "Uncle!" Shen Xuan said loudly, "Who caused the fourth uncle's family to be ruined, his wife and children to be separated, caused Princess Wuyue to go astray, and caused Jiang Lingqian to not even know who his parents were, and finally, finally..." Having said that, he couldn't help sobbing. Wu Jianzhi patted him on the shoulder instead, comforting him: "Xuan'er, you can't just have hatred in your heart, it will hurt you." Shen Xuan said: "Uncle, you know who that person is." Wu Jianzhi was stunned. Seeing Shen Xuan sneering, he had no choice but to shake his head, and then smiled faintly: "Tantai Shuran is my junior brother. If I know who harmed him, can I not avenge him? Xuan'er, don't think about it anymore." .These things are already in the past.” Can it really pass? "She's gone. Don't make yourself too hard for these things." Wu Jian knew. Shen Xuan could only shake his head and remained silent, not knowing what else to say to Wu Jianzhi.The swaying candle shadow illuminated the shiny low table, on which stood a small white porcelain bowl, which contained dried red snakes, which he caught during the day from the bottom of the lake full of Mengpo willows.He still can't make up his mind, maybe, he should finish the matter of Yinyue, and then settle this grievance. "Uncle," Shen Xuan said suddenly, "Since I came back, there has been no news of Big Brother Ye." "After you left that year, he went to the north and followed a man surnamed Zhao." However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.The ten-year period has expired, Ye Qingchen will come back soon, right? The next day Wu Jianzhi said goodbye, and before leaving, he reminded Shen Xuan again that no matter what, he would go back to Dongting Lake before the Mid-Autumn Festival. "I will try my best." Shen Xuan said.Wu Jianzhi hesitated for a moment, and said again: "I'm old. This time when you come back, I will hand over the position of head of the Dongting School to you." Shen Xuan was taken aback, and said with a horrified laugh: "Uncle is not joking. I never thought of being the head of Dongting." Wu Jianzhi held on to his whip and was still on the horse, as if he still had a thousand words to say.But after all, he didn't say anything, just repeated: "The Mid-Autumn Festival must come back, definitely." At this time, it was late spring and early summer, and the east wind blew through the branches, but a few yellow magnolia leaves fell on Wu Jianzhi's shoulders.Shen Xuan brushed off the fallen leaves for his uncle, for some reason, felt a sense of sadness in his heart. "I will definitely come back." He promised the old man like this. Stay in Huluwan for a few months, and slowly concoct an antidote for Yinyue. As soon as the monsoon came, Shen Xuan went to the beach, found a boat, and sailed to Rootless Island.He didn't want to relive the tragic memory when he entered the sea from the Qiantang River, but he entered the sea from Mingzhou (now Ningbo) and headed north. Every plant and every tree, nothing on Rootless Island has changed, but Zeng Xianzi has died of old age, and only Yinyue is left alone on the isolated island, still playing the lingering song. Before Shen Xuan knocked on the door, Yinyue came out, and there was a hint of excitement in her flat voice: "You really keep your word." At this moment, Shen Xuan had other thoughts, and handed the medicine to her: "Maybe it's better for you not to take it." Yinyue said: "Are you afraid that I will remember something and refuse to promise Ye Qingchen?" Shen Xuan thought of Jiang Lingqian. If he had insisted on not giving Li'er the antidote of Mengpo Liu at the beginning, so that she would not be able to remember anything, maybe they would have married long ago and lived a carefree life in Huluwan. In the days, where will there be endless parting and suffering later? He said seriously: "With your current situation, why do you have to know about the past? Once the past is exposed, you have to pay attention to it. Many times, forgetting the past is a blessing, and I don't know how much trouble it will save." Yinyue said lightly: "It's impossible for a person not to want to know who he is." This is indeed a problem that no one can avoid, even if it costs a lot.Shen Xuan thought, even if she knew who the former person was, after all, it had been many years, so the influence would not be too deep.What's more, what can match ten years of lovesickness? "Before I advise you to take the medicine, you have to think about it carefully." He finally said. "Thank you, I will think about it." Yinyue said, "I have some good news for you." Shen Xuan was a little surprised. "Your wife is not dead." He froze. There is a person under the cliff by the sea, looking at the wind.The sea breeze blew up a light green cloak, like a flying canopy. At that moment, Shen Xuan felt that time was reversed in an instant.It seems that the white train is still swaying on the rocks with the wind, it seems that Li'er has just walked away and has not stepped into the cold sea water, it seems that he himself is still the boy crawling on the beach, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can hold it. Clinging to her wet skirt, as long as she speaks, it will be a pledge of eternal love to call her back to her side. So he called her name, his voice was even a little difficult. Jiang Lingqian turned around and looked at him indifferently: "Are you back?" Shen Xuan remained silent, not knowing what to say. He had a lot to say, and all the time, those words were turning over and over in his heart.Youyou has been separated from life and death for many years, and she has also confided to her ten thousand times in her dreams.But at this moment, he had no choice but to stare blankly at her face. On the contrary, that face became illusory, and it seemed to be the same as but also different from the deep memory in his mind.Is this true?Did she really return to her side, driving away all the parting and sorrow? "Tell me, am I living a dream, or the past three years have been just a nightmare?" he murmured.Jiang Lingqian smiled and said, "You are dreaming now." "What a dream..." Seeing her smiling like a flower, but with tears in her eyes, Shen Xuan hugged her into his arms, refused to let go, and could not say a word. It's coming back, not revisiting the old days, the story is starting all over again.Three years later, time has already quietly moved away, only the mountains and seas remain the same. After watching for a long time, Shen Xuan said: "Li'er, seeing you today, there is no greater happiness in the world. Where have you been for the past three years?" Jiang Lingqian said leisurely: "I met the ancestor of Wushan and followed her. gone." Shen Xuan was taken aback for a moment.Ren Fengchao, the patriarch of Wushan, is a well-known mysterious figure in the Jianghu. He doesn't belong to any sect, doesn't settle in any mountains and forests, but his martial arts are unfathomable.Shen Xuan remembered that Wu Jianzhi said that his uncle Tantai Shuran also learned swordsmanship from the ancestor.Speaking of it, it can be regarded as having some origins with the Tiantai and Dongting factions.However, logically, this person should be very old, and he has not cared about the world for a long time.Why did Jiang Lingqian meet "him" and go with "him"? "How did you meet him? How did you escape with your life? Where did you go? Why did you go there for three years?" Jiang Lingqian smiled and said, "There are so many questions, which one should I answer first?" Shen Xuan also smiled: "Then you tell me first, what is the antidote to the corpse poison." Jiang Lingqian said: "You can't think of it, it's Xue Yingying's 'Feiyansan'. At that time, I didn't take the antidote of 'Feiyansan', and there was a poison hidden in my body. It is this poison that resists the poison of corpses." , I survived. At that time, I was waiting to die by the sea, and passed out. It happened that my mother-in-law came to Wugen Island to find one of her senior brothers, and took me to her boat." "Who is the mother-in-law you are talking about?" Shen Xuan asked puzzled. "It's the ancestor of Wushan." Shen Xuan was horrified: "Why, is the ancestor of Wushan actually a woman?" Jiang Lingqian smiled slightly: "Yes. But most people in the Jianghu think she is a strange old man. In fact, she is not very old, only forty She looks like she's in her early years. But she insisted on calling her mother-in-law because I'm her junior's junior." Shen Xuan remained silent.Tantai Shuran is the disciple of Wushan Patriarch, so Li'er can only be regarded as his disciple. Jiang Lingqian continued: "Feiyan powder and corpse poison are both very powerful. Although I can't die, I always faint. My mother-in-law had to take me back to Wushan and use her own skills to heal my wounds and resist the poison. The poison in my body was suppressed. I was suppressed for a while, and then I woke up. At that time, I was infected by the corpse poison and became as ugly as a ghost. I really didn’t dare to come to you. The latent poison will break out one day, and in the future, if you don’t die, you will be a useless person. Granny In other words, since Feiyan powder can suppress the corpse poison, perhaps adjusting the formula of Feiyan powder will become the antidote to the corpse poison. So she took me all over the Three Gorges, collected various herbs, and formulated various prescriptions give me to eat. "I can't even remember how many medicines I took in those two years. Finally, my mother-in-law's hard work was not in vain. In the spring of this year, the corpse poison in my body was completely eliminated, and I don't have to be afraid anymore. In the spring of this year, my mother-in-law came to this island to help her I begged her to bring me with me, hoping to find you. Although I happened to miss you, Master Yinyue here said that you had been here. I said goodbye to my mother-in-law and lived with Master Yinyue. Await your return." "Senior brother of Patriarch Wushan? Could it be Senior Zeng?" "Yes. But senior Zeng Xianzi...I don't know what happened. It is said that he was expelled from the sect by his master, that is, the father of the mother-in-law. Later, the mother-in-law inherited the Wushan School. After many years, it was decided to send the senior brother I found it. I just didn’t expect Senior Zeng to hide on such a remote island. My mother-in-law didn’t find him until three years ago. That’s when she picked me up by the way. After I went to Wushan with my mother-in-law, she taught Wushan swordsmanship To me. Speaking of which, I can still be regarded as a disciple of Wushan now, and I should call Old Master Zeng an uncle, but it's a pity..." Shen Xuan thought about the situation on the island back then, and couldn't help feeling relieved.At that time, I had no thoughts of life at all, if Zeng Xianzi hadn't forced him so hard, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.Zeng Xianzi said, "If you find it in the future and ask the old man for someone, do you want the old man to point to a tombstone and say that your husband is here, go in and meet him..." Who would have thought that things are impermanent, and now Li'er is reunited with him, But the one lying in the tomb turned out to be that kind old man... "It turns out that you entered Wushan's sect and also learned the swordsmanship of Wushan's ancestors. Presumably, your martial arts are very different from before." Jiang Lingqian was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said, "The Wushan sword technique taught to me by my mother-in-law is very special. It was created by Wushan ancestors. It has only been passed on to three people. The other one is my father." Father?Shen Xuan felt a "thump" in his heart. So, she already knew. In fact, this question has been circling in Shen Xuan's mind for many times, but at this moment, he can't say anything else, he can only gently hold her hands. I don't know what she is thinking, her eyes are terribly quiet. "After I came down from Wushan Mountain, I went back to Tiantai Mountain to bury my grandfather." Jiang Lingqian said softly, "I was in a hurry to go down the mountain to chase you, but I only had time to bury my grandfather. It took three years to go there. In Chicheng Mountain, I found that someone has buried my grandfather well and erected a stone monument." Shen Xuan said, "Maybe it's your grandfather's friend." Jiang Lingqian shook his head and said, "Grandpa has never had any friends. Grandpa has been buried for a long time, and I can't check on that person. I went to clean up grandpa's belongings, but found a suicide note. It's my grandfather from those years When I don’t go home, I am afraid that I will die first, so I will write it in advance so that I can know my life experience. There is even a blood book, which was written by my father before he died and left in my baby. I've always wanted to find my biological parents, but I can't think of it, my grandfather has already left me the answer." "Why didn't he tell you earlier?" "You also know? I heard from me... Princess Wuyue said? Grandpa, actually it's my grandfather, he is my savior. When I was young, my father was besieged by my seven uncles on Mount Lu. Later, a masked master killed him. He pushed him off the cliff. If Grandpa hadn't arrived in time, I would have been hacked to death by the masked man. Grandpa never mentioned these things to me, maybe because he thought I was young and was afraid that I would be upset. However, he always You can't hide it from me for the rest of your life. I'm having such a quarrel with Princess Wuyue, he probably never thought about it." Shen Xuan felt sad when she heard that she kept mentioning "Prince Wuyue" and refused to change her name to mother. "Brother Xuan," Jiang Lingqian said, "I heard from people in Jianghu that before she died, you were by her side..." Shen Xuan nodded vigorously. "You watched her die, what about her, what about her?" Shen Xuan could tell that it was a different kind of complicated mood. "Let me tell you, don't take it too seriously." Shen Xuan couldn't bear it, and held Li'er in his arms, "She knew you were her daughter, and then she died..." Intermittently, he recounted the situation that day, without missing every detail.After finishing speaking, I realized that my front was icy cold, it was soaked by her tears. "Li'er, Li'er," Shen Xuan said, "It's not her fault, just forget about her!" Jiang Lingqian raised Lihua's rainy face: "Do you think I can forget it?" What kind of lifelong pain is this!Shen Xuan silently wiped away tears for her. After a while, Jiang Lingqian said softly: "Grandpa's suicide note said that he didn't recognize who the masked man was. I want to find him." "You want to avenge your father?" Shen Xuan asked. Jiang Lingqian nodded slightly, but her expression was quite determined: "It's also for mother." Shen Xuan suddenly had an uneasy thought in his heart.Originally, he himself wanted to find out who the real murderer of Tantai Shuran was.But when Li'er said that he was going to take revenge, he had to worry, would it cause another disturbance? "Since your father left a blood letter, didn't he say who the enemy is?" He asked.Jiang Lingqian frowned and said, "I said it, but the name was blotted out." She took out a small oil-paper packet from her bosom and peeled it off layer by layer.This was her father's only relic, and it was kept with special care. "My daughter of Xiangling, when you read this book...your father was... harmed. If you learn martial arts, you must kill your father...to avenge your father. The rest...you can ask your mother and aunt." Tantai Shuran's blood was sprinkled on the white silk, which turned black faintly.Unexpectedly, the important handwriting was submerged.Shen Xuan held up the blood book and looked at the light for a long time, but still couldn't see the strokes, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Jiang Lingqian said: "Mother won't tell me... So I still have an aunt, I wonder if I can find her." "I remember my uncle said," Shen Xuan said thoughtfully, "That aunt of yours seems to be called Tantai Yanran." Jiang Lingqian said, "Then does your uncle Wu Jian know about this? Do you know who killed my father?" Wu Jianzhi, when Shen Xuan heard this name, his heart was full of clouds.He held Jiang Lingqian's hand in his palm, turned it over and over, looked at the thin pink palm prints, and couldn't make up his mind, how to tell her the doubts in his heart? However, he still didn't say anything after all. Jiang Lingqian carefully observed the changes in his expression, guessing his thoughts: "You won't tell me, he is..." Shen Xuan shook his head again and again: "Don't think wildly!" In fact, it was himself who was thinking wildly, so he dared not speak out the doubts in his heart because he didn't even know what he was thinking.Although he has always disliked Wu Jianzhi, if Li'er's enemy is...of course he will help Li'er, but it's better not to have this kind of thing happen.He didn't want these grievances and entanglements to be implicated in this sect.What's more, Wu Jianzhi is after all his few remaining relatives. "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. I won't do it for..." Jiang Lingqian said suddenly. "It doesn't matter how you say it!" Shen Xuan laughed, "Don't say that your father is my Fourth Martial Uncle, even if it's just for you, I'm obliged. I'm just a little worried about you..." He suddenly understood that he had always been the last What was she worried about, she unconsciously blurted out, "Li'er, will you marry me?" Jiang Lingqian's face was flushed, and she pulled out her hand at once: "What are you talking about!" Shen Xuan urged, "Aren't you willing?" The two have known each other for five or six years, but they always get together less and leave more. First, there is the Tang family's marriage contract, and then the family's enmity.Now, after three years, these obstacles have gradually disappeared.The marriage contract of the Tang family was annulled long ago, and Jiang Lingqian became the orphan of the Fourth Martial Uncle, and the barriers between sects did not exist, as if the world opened up for a moment.I just hope that from now on, there will be no repetitions. Jiang Lingqian took his finger and said softly: "Since you think so, I have no objection." After a pause, he added, "I originally hoped that I could go back to Taoyuan Valley of Tiantai Mountain to get married." Shen Xuan said: "When you finish your revenge, we will go back to Tiantai Mountain, and go back to that bamboo house. Just the two of us, we will live there for the rest of our lives, okay?" "Okay." Jiang Lingqian closed his eyes , meditating on future scenarios. The sun shines through the soft eyelids, warming the eyes.Shen Xuan grabbed her hand, thinking that it would be best not to let go in this lifetime. At this time, he heard a rustling sound behind him, someone's footsteps gliding across the gravel like the wind. The moment he looked back, he felt that Yinyue was staggering and looked like a wild animal being chased.However, the moment their eyes met, Yinyue instantly regained her composure, as if nothing had happened. But Shen Xuan still felt that she had become so strange.Meng Poliu's antidote worked, and her eyes were infused with memories, like five-color secret medicines infused into an empty glass cup, making it elusive. She tried her best to hide her turbulent emotions, maintaining her usual reserved and indifferent attitude.This made Shen Xuan feel uneasy, what did she think of, what exactly did she think of? "Thank you." Yinyue just said indifferently. "Master..." Shen Xuan asked hesitantly, "Will Master continue to wait for Brother Ye?" A strange light flashed in Yinyue's eyes, and then she smiled slightly: "Of course. But I have to ask you for a favor, can you stay with me on the island for a few days." The two felt a little strange. Yinyue quickly said: "This is an excessive request, but...if you all leave, I will be the only one left on this desert island." Jiang Lingqian said: "Then Master will go back to the mainland with us, okay?" "Going back to the mainland is also very good," Yinyue nodded, "However, the appointment with Ye Qingchen is coming soon, so I have to stay here and wait for him. If I leave now, Qingchen can't find me, wouldn't it be... ...Aren't we going to miss it again?" Shen Xuan thought about it, and it was indeed so.The ten-year agreement between Yinyue and Ye Qingchen was on this rootless island.Thinking about it, Ye Qingchen had already rushed over here in a hurry.If everyone left and Ye Qingchen was left alone, there might be a misunderstanding. It would be fine if you stayed with Jiang Lingqian to accompany Yinyue: "But——I made an appointment with my uncle, and I will not break my promise when I go back to Dongting Lake on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Uncle probably has something important to do." After much deliberation, there is no other way, and it is indeed impossible to leave Yinyue, a weak woman, on the island alone. "Then it seems that you have to go first." Jiang Lingqian sighed, "I will go to Dongting Lake to find you once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, so don't run away." Shen Xuan also felt regretful, but there was no other way. When the tide was low, Shen Xuan bid farewell to the two people on the island, jumped into the sampan and rode the waves away.After an absence of three years, they suddenly meet again, so naturally they can't wait to be together all the time.But it is frustrating to have to separate again. He stood on the bow of the boat, watching Li'er's figure gradually shrinking and blurring, like a white flower in the wind, he suddenly regretted that he didn't even have time to hold her hand when saying goodbye.Fortunately, we only need to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to stay together forever.Thinking of the long and happy years in the future, the little goodbye now seems to be warm.

Jiang Lingqian stared at her incredulously. Nun Yinyue's eyes became serious.Under the reflection of the twilight on the island, his white and sluggish skin showed wisps of blue.She sneered and stretched out her skinny hand, grabbing Jiang Lingqian's sleeve. "Do you know who I am?" Jiang Lingqian shook his head violently.Yinyue's smile was almost stern and crazy.A mess of long hair was blown away by the sea breeze, as if thousands of unjust ghosts in hell were being revived one after another. "I don't know who I am...but I finally know. My child, maybe even you won't believe..."
