Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 29

"Your order has not yet been issued, and it may not end like mine." Her originally frosty eyes slowly softened.

"Want to know my name?" Seeing Zhijin was still depressed, she changed the subject.

Zhijin raised her eyes, yes, she wanted to know, but because she didn't want to say, she didn't ask further.

"Don't cry..." She signaled Zhijin to wipe away her tears if she wanted to hear her story. "Do you know Baihua Sishen?"

Zhijin nodded, "I have been to Sishen Baihua Palace."

She exposed the wrist of her left hand, and showed Zhijin the bright red flower print, "I used to be the female official of Peony in Baihua Palace, my name was Yu Rong."

"I also fell in love with someone inadvertently like most idiots and resentful women in this world, and ended up with a lot of scars."

"Who are you in love with?" Zhijin asked cautiously.

She smiled, an incomparably sour smile, and a long sigh, as if she was about to cry.

Ember's face was moved, this may be the knot of Yu Rong's long-term cold heart.

"I don't know if he is well now, maybe he is still alive...I hope he is alive."

"When I was in the world, I heard a song sung by an actor. The meaning of it was that a man traveled far and far in order to find his former lover, until he found a monster. The mountain where you live."

"There are four monsters living in the mountain, two of them like to play chess, and the other two like to play the flute. The man asked them eagerly how to find someone. They said that you blow the flute to pieces, and then set us up. If the chess game is solved, we will give you divination."

"Why are you telling this story?" She was at a loss.

"Yu Rong, I know you haven't let go of that person in the past few hundred years, just like the man in this song."

"Let it go, if you can't let it go, so what, isn't it all over?"

Zhijin told the ending of the story, and saw her slowly turn her back, and then lay silently on the jade platform.

Once loved someone, who can really let go, just like the god of water, with supreme power, but after all, he can't compete with a word of love, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

In fact, Jhin knows that he is not qualified to reason with anyone, but he just thinks that since he has loved and can't forget, why can't he be more sincere, at least when we are not confused.

Zhijin remembered that it was when Juer saw her staying in the boudoir that day, she was really bored, so she invited her to Duxianlou to listen to the music.

The pavilions are graceful, the gardens are full of flowers, the melodious sound of the shengxiao makes people mesmerized, the stage is full of seats, and on the stage a woman with light makeup holding a folding fan sings a lingering and sad tune.

Zhijin didn't quite understand, so he asked Ping'er, who was drinking a jar of freshly opened plum wine, with flushed cheeks.

Ping'er said that the song was called "Nanke". They play chess, and the two love to play the flute.In fact, the sound of the flute can make people hallucinate, and the chess game laid out is to let people hand over their own luck in the solution.

Therefore, the man dreamed of his lover to the sound of the flute, and after waking up, he followed the vague footprints in the dream, went down the mountain, and when he was thirsty, he took up clear water, but he saw his eyes were old, his face was exhausted, and he died within a few steps .

The four monsters who lost the man's life span buried the man under the tree according to the old habit.No one thought that the next day, that tree would be full of peach blossoms.

Knowing that the man was extraordinary, the monster dug him out, and sure enough, his whole body remained intact. The peach hairpin made of pink jade in his pocket immediately rotted, and the peach blossoms on the tree disappeared.

He heard the monster say, you are someone who is missed, we will return luck to you, you can follow your dream to find that person.

In the dream, I only vaguely saw a beautiful peach blossom forest on the top of a mountain, and a village surrounded by rivers at the foot of the mountain. There are many such places, where should I find them?
He looked at the peach blossom hairpin given by his former lover but it was rotten, and he wiped his tears helplessly.

A monster turned back and said lightly, would you take the initiative to give me ten years of life, and let me divination for you.

The man knelt down in front of it without hesitation, let alone ten years, the rest of his life can be given to you.

The monster said in surprise, if you die, even if you find her, you won't be able to be together.

He spread out the peach blossom hairpin in his palm. I have long since broken up with her. Now I want to find her because I miss her so much. If I can see her, I would rather die than regret it.

The monster used the man's ten-year lifespan to do the trick, but he couldn't figure out the source of the dream.It had some doubts and guilt, so it grabbed the hairpin and stabbed the man's palm fiercely. After a while, the blood in the palm merged into two words: Bianchun.

He originally made a promise that he would never see her again in this life, but after years passed, he was still defeated and gave up everything just to find her, even if he saw her from a distance, he would be satisfied.

Missing makes people feel uneasy.

How can people who have truly loved each other forget.

ten days later.

An old palace supervisor came to announce the decree, and Zhijin would be exiled secretly for the crime of damaging the reputation of the prince of the Tianzu.

The old palace supervisor said, "It is His Majesty's forgiveness and kindness to you that you were not sentenced to death. I hope you can abide by the rules and regulations in the place of exile and live your life in peace."

Zhijin saluted, "Criminal Jin, please give me an order to thank you."

"When tomorrow is ugly, there will be Tianwei secretly escorting you to the place of exile, you just wait."

"Your Majesty took such pains to make arrangements to avoid further incidents, so you can go with peace of mind." The old palace supervisor said his last words before leaving.

"Yu Rong, where do you think the Heavenly Emperor will send me into exile?"

"I have never left the Heavenly Court, and I don't know where I can be exiled." She was reluctant, "I will go and say goodbye. I don't know when I will see you again. I wish you well."

"This sentence, it seems that Ping'er also said that Ping'er is my friend in the world." Zhijin smiled wryly.

"Zhi, thank you for telling me that story."

"If you get out of prison in the future and you have free time, can you bring some flowers and plants to greet Lord Xing for me." After speaking, the tears were like torrential rain, and the ember quickly wiped them away.

"What he cares about is you, and he only wants you to come and say hello to him...so you must come back to him."

"There is still a place for me in this sky..."

"Perhaps in the future, he will leave Heaven and find you, just like the man you mentioned."

Zhijin shook his head, and said in an urgent tone, "No, no, I don't want to, I don't want King Xing to leave the Heavenly Court."

"Zhi, you have to live well, for yourself and for others."

"I will."

The next day, ugly time.

The cold-faced prison officer unsealed the seal on the jade platform of Ember of Confinement.

Two Celestial Guards, wearing white embellished masks, threw into a black cloak.

Zhijin put on his cloak and stepped down from the jade platform, recovering his weak mana.

Yu Rong said goodbye to her, she smiled back, but her heart was full of uneasiness.

Tianwei imprisoned Zhijin's hands with the fairy rope, and motioned her to follow.

The night was dark, and I couldn't see the Fire Cloud Palace, nor could I see the all-night bright light of Baiqing Palace. Only the light of the seven town palace fairy beads on the Zimi Palace illuminated every corner of the heaven.

The exquisite long-burning lights on both sides of this road lead the way forward.
