A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 141 Lin Yuan (4)
I'm night blind and can't see anything.

Fang Zhou was still chatting and laughing at first, but as soon as the national teacher appeared, his face immediately showed a look of awe, and he was completely different from the previous moment.

The national teacher didn't stop, just glanced at it, and then went to the other end of the corridor.Fang Zhou hurriedly cupped his hands to her, "I have something to do, I have to take a step first. My lady, go back to Linlang Realm alone. I haven't finished talking today. I will talk to you in detail when I have time." After finishing speaking, he smiled gently. , There seems to be a thousand words in the eyes.It's a pity that he couldn't stay any longer, Shi Zhan leaped over the hooked railing, the robe was fluttered by the wind, and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Lian Deng looked at the direction they were leaving, feeling a little lost.Looking up at the sky, it should be almost time.Yesterday, the national teacher asked her to go to him again at noon. If the matter at hand cannot be resolved in a short while, I am afraid it will be delayed today.

But what kind of person or thing could make him treat him so solemnly?The ceremony in Xiayuan has just been completed, and I have never heard of a grander celebration.It snowed for three days, and it cleared up today. It seems that it is not a natural disaster, and there is no need for the national teacher to pray to the sky.If I guess correctly, it should be someone from the Daming Palace, who can make the master of the country welcome him in a full manner, and I don't think of anyone other than today.

She was a little ready to move, and wanted to follow the past to see what happened.But after all, the location is not right, and you have to be somewhat restricted in the shrine. If you offend the national teacher, wouldn't you put a knife on your neck!
She lingered for a while, but didn't meet anyone who could inquire.The rules here are very strict, everyone has their own responsibilities, and they are not allowed to walk around without authorization, so the huge palace often seems deserted and empty.She looked around, feeling a little dazed in her mind, not knowing where this was and how to get back.Worried that he had strayed into another formation, he didn't dare to continue forward. After thinking about it, he turned back to the palace gate and returned to Linlang Realm the same way.

Tannu and Zhuanzhuan were not there, she was a bit lonely by herself, but fortunately there was that deer, which seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time, wandering around the boundary all the time.Seeing her come back, he jumped in front of her, and the little deer antlers scraped against her body affectionately, as if old friends reunited after a long absence.

Lian Deng squatted down and hugged its neck, it leaned on her docilely, she got up to cross the wooden bridge, it followed her side, never leaving for a moment.She glanced at it, then sat on the steps and sighed: "I will leave the shrine in two days, you and I are so good, it is inevitable to be sad when we part, it would be better to be strangers from the beginning!"

I don't know if it can understand her words, but a pair of big and round eyes are looking straight at her.She smiled, looked up at the birds passing by in the sky, remembered that the shark beads given to her by the national teacher were still on the plate, so she went in and sat on the mat, holding her cheeks to observe carefully.

It is said that it can be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons if you carry it with you. It is really a good thing!She dialed it with her hand, and the beads spun on the plate. She began to think about where it would be safer to put it in her purse for fear of losing it, so she could hang it around her neck with a hole in it!

She went to search for tools in the package, and when she came back holding the needle, she found that the shark beads in the plate were gone.She stared at the empty plate and thought for a long time, making sure she hadn't moved, then turned her gaze to the deer.

With eyes as clear as a mountain spring, he quickly swung his tail in front of her. Lian Deng didn't look at its flattery, and asked it in a deep voice, "Did you take the shark beads? It's too late to come back now."

It blinked, obviously not understanding her words.So she propped herself up and said to herself, "There are so many deer in the shrine, and no one will notice if one is missing. I know it must be eaten by you, so let's cut open the stomach and have a look, then it will be natural We'll see." As she spoke, she really pulled out the dagger from her short boots, and then the deer's eyes became terrified, and it opened its mouth to spit the shark beads back into the plate, and ran away without looking back.

She looked at the wet shark pearl, angry and funny.I picked it up with my hands, and found that the surface was not as hard as before. I took a bucket of needles, and it went through easily.

So will shark beads become soft when they meet saliva?She looked out the window in surprise, and the deer looked back at her at the boundary, twisted its neck proudly, and ran away.Lian Deng knew that he had wrongly blamed it. It didn't want to steal it, but just wanted to help.But she really couldn't figure out why this deer was so understanding of human nature, it was almost miraculous.

She held up the shark bead and looked at it, but there was nothing unusual.Called clean water to rinse, once touched the water immediately became cold and hard as iron, if there is no deer, I am afraid that it will not be able to penetrate it with all my strength!It's just that she wants to kill it and offend it, and if we meet again next time, it will be impossible not to say good things.

She went to the bronze mirror and tied a knot around her neck.There are also the flower tins that I passed on to her, and I think they are very fresh and beautiful after taking photos.It is natural for girls to love beauty, but in fact she is no different from ordinary girls.

Just as she was looking for a comb to comb her hair, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. It was the nephew bringing a food box, and when she got to the bottom of the steps, she called out to her: "Miss...is the mistress here?"

The lotus lantern went out from the inner room, and those sluts came in, and asked her while making arrangements, "Young lady and the national teacher have an appointment at noon, don't forget it!"

She nodded, "But I saw the national teacher walking by wearing an official uniform earlier, and I was afraid that the national teacher was busy and didn't have time to see me."

The nephew smiled and said: "It's already done. I ordered the younger one to send a message to ask the lady to meet at Taoranting at noon. The lady doesn't know the way. The younger one will come to pick up the lady later. The lady should eat first."

Lian Deng said hello, there is plenty of time, he solemnly changed his clothes and turned his head, and waited quietly until the end of the hour, then followed the nephew to Taoranting.

There are many parts of the Jingu that she has never been to. For example, this pavilion is built among rockery, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and facing the sun on one side. The new wind is blocked by rocks, and the sun at noon becomes extraordinarily warm.She took a deep breath and lamented that it is a good place to spend the winter, but it is a pity that the national teacher is entrenched here, and no one would dare to come here normally.The nephew sent her and left, and she went forward alone, and only saw him in front of the pavilion, leaning against a pavilion pillar with his eyes closed, basking in the sun.

Lian Deng has never seen such a white and clean man, not to mention the rough pottery people from the Western Regions on the Silk Road, but Wang Apu, who has lost its original color in the wind and sun.The national teacher lived a peaceful and leisurely life, and all his goodness was fully reflected in this face.In the snow, you can compete with the snow, and when the sun is shining above your head, your skin will be as clear as agar.

He was standing there, actually very close, but separated by the flood.Lian Deng was not sure whether he should go forward, if he disturbed his meditation, would he be upset?

She stood still and waited quietly with her hands tucked in. After waiting for a cup of tea, she heard him sigh softly, opened his eyes and glanced at her, "Why don't you talk when you're here?"

She lifted her robe up the steps and bowed to him, "Don't dare to disturb the national teacher. It's such a rare good weather, but you have to bother the national teacher for my little private matter, Lian Deng feels very ashamed."

He hummed without saying much, and turned around to go into the stone cave behind the pavilion.Lian Deng followed quickly, only to hear him say in a slow voice: "You must choose such a good weather to make a model. If it is cloudy and cannot be formed, you have to stay in the Taishang Shrine for two more months."

Lian Deng's face suddenly became hot when she heard this. She was entrusted by an old friend, and if she didn't respond, she was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to Ah Pu.In fact, to put it bluntly, I think she is cumbersome, so I want to send her away early!She lowered her head and bit her lip. In the past, she might have made a bet, and would rather be caught than ask him for anything.But not now, the situation forced her to be unruly.She could only hold back as much as possible, and leave as soon as the mask was completed.

She didn't speak, and he glanced back at her midway.There were torches burning in the cave, and the dark air became more and more intense as she went deeper. She was probably a little cold, so she shrank and clasped her arms.He looked away, and curled his lips in a lonely way, "If the severe winter doesn't kill you, how can you see the spring? I can't stand the cold, so go back to Dunhuang sooner."

She was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold, and I can endure hardships, please ask the national teacher to change my appearance for me."

After hearing this, he looked at her indifferently, opened his eyes and walked slowly with his hands behind his back.Waving his sleeves in front of a stone door, the door opened spontaneously, and Lian Deng saw that there was a cave inside. It was a bit like the cave on Mingsha Mountain, but Mingsha Mountain was not as cold as this artificial rockery.

He led her to the stone table and motioned her to look at the wooden tree on the table, "Although the mask is a dead thing, it is a part of your body from the moment it covers your face. You have to be in touch with it You can make it seamless." There is a shield-shaped groove at the top of the tree, and he pointed, "Put two drops of blood in it, and if you raise it, it will serve you faithfully."

Lian Deng stared at the box, not knowing whether it was because of the environment, or because this kind of ritual was close to Wu Nuo, in short, his heart jumped in panic.She looked up at him, and he had a normal expression, "Are you afraid of bleeding? If you don't want to, then skip this step, and I'll directly cast the mold for you."

Of course she wanted to keep improving, shedding a little blood was nothing, but before she came to see him, she took off the weapon on her body, and the only way to get blood was to bite.

She raised her finger to her lips, but he pulled her wrist and stroked her fingertip casually, the blood immediately gushed out and gurgled into the notch.I don't know what this box is. It looks like a bloodthirsty beast. When it is full, the tenons will make a crisp cracking sound.Lian Deng felt frightened and looked at him tremblingly. He lowered his eyes and looked peaceful.But his hands were so cold, a bone-piercing cold, spreading from her wrists to the deepest part of her body.

He didn't get much blood, only about half a cup, but Lian Deng was numb, and his mind was dizzy for a while.He sprinkled medicine on her wound, with a faint smile on his lips, "If you bleed a little, you won't be able to hold on. It seems that you are weak and can't do big things."

Lian Deng complained secretly, it wasn't that she was weak, it was obviously that his brain was frostbitten.How can there be such a person in the world, is he made of ice?She almost wondered whether he was alive or not, and why he didn't even have the slightest popularity.

She tentatively asked him, "Master, are you cold?"

He was busy preparing the molding materials, and he gave his hands a pause when he heard it, but he had expected her doubts, so he replied casually: "Dress less."

He dismissed Lian Deng's suspicions hastily. He did wear less clothes. This answer sounded reasonable, but she knew in her heart that it was definitely not the case.No matter how cold a person is, the basic body temperature can still be maintained. If it breaks through this limit, let alone take action, it will be difficult to even breathe.It's just that I can't ask any more questions. It's better to pretend to be confused about some things.Everything in the Supreme Shrine is a mystery, if you want to solve it, you may not be able to solve it for three days and three nights.She is just a passer-by, and digging too much is tantamount to killing herself. In order to live a long time, she should keep silent!
She stood aside, unable to help, just watching him busy.When I was bored, I also looked around and found several large wooden boxes under the stone table. The four corners of the boxes were inlaid with silver cloud patterns, and there was no lock. I don't know what they are used for.

She couldn't hide her curiosity, wondering if it was full of masks.It's scary to think about it, all kinds of faces, all kinds of lives, this cave is a workshop for making people, with a new face, you can walk on the territory of Dali without any scruples.

She peeked at the national teacher, and inexplicably came up with an idea. If her face is not old for a hundred years, could it be that the real Linyuan has already passed away, and the successors have taken over his name and appearance from generation to generation. In fact, they have been wearing masks all the time. Life?

She was ignited by her own whimsy, full of desire to explore the box below.He licked his lips, and moved over cautiously, trying to reach the cloud lock, and as soon as he touched the edge, the national teacher turned around.Her heart skipped a beat, but she was still calm. She withdrew her hand and walked away pretending to be casual.

Of course he noticed her small movements, but he didn't say anything, and compared to the algae mat.

She sat down as he wanted, and he brought a piece of clay to her, with his sleeves still raised after he was busy.Lian Deng saw his strong arms, which were completely different from the sickness she imagined.He squatted down to observe her face carefully, the two were so close that they were breathing.This distance made Lian Deng uncomfortable, so he barely endured it. He thought it would pass soon, but he paused for a long time, then he raised his hand and stretched it towards her eyes.

Lian Deng instinctively wanted to avoid it, so he leaned back slightly, but due to his identity, he didn't dare to react too much after all.Now she has something to ask of him, and her life is in his hands, so let him do it.

He noticed that she was dodging, her hand stopped in mid-air, she didn't take it back, and she didn't make any further movements.Just looking at her, waiting for her to reflect on herself, sit up straight again, and put her face in his hands.

She seemed a little nervous, her eyes were shining brightly under the lamp, and she was wide open when she looked at him, worried that he would eat her in one bite?The corners of his mouth sank slightly, he moved his fingers, and directly tore off the piece of flower tin.

The lotus lantern hurt a little from being pulled, and caressed the center of his eyebrows blankly, almost forgetting about it.It wasn't until she saw the two pieces of vermilion bird wings falling on the mat that she realized that she had made a fuss. They had no other intentions. They cleaned up the redundant burden so that they could shape her face.

She was a little embarrassed, and smiled at him awkwardly, "My friend pasted it for me before leaving, she said it would look better with makeup..."

After listening to it, he slowly smiled, "It's really beautiful."

Lian Deng didn't expect to be praised by him, and always felt that he was not a person who was willing to condescend to deal with it. If it was good from him, it must be really good.

She was a girl, and girls like to hear good things, and she was no exception.In the past, when she didn't change clothes on Mingsha Mountain, Wang Apu always said that she was sloppy, and she felt very distressed.Later, he took a few yellow sheepskins and changed into a Hu suit. He looked around and said he could see.The national teacher was the first man to praise her for her good looks. Although this good looks might only refer to Hua Tian, ​​she already felt very happy.

She pursed her lips and smiled, a little shyly, while laughing, but at the same time she was looking for flaws with her heart.From his hairline to the jaw, and then to the back of the ears, he looked at all possible joints, and found nothing abnormal, so this face should be real... If it is real, how can it last for a hundred years?Or the records in the history books are all controlled by the emperor, and the dynasty wants him to live as long as the sky, so he must live forever?
She was guessing here, but he didn't prevent him from smearing the sludge in his hand to her face.Before she was ready, her eyes went dark, and then her lower half blurred, even her mouth was sealed.

His hands lingered and hovered over her face through a layer of soft attachment, just like a porcelain craftsman going over the kiln, every detail had to be carved again and again.Her facial features gradually appeared through the mud tire, so strange that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the newly cast Guanyin in Xiangguo Temple last year.

"I have two pieces of advice, you must remember." He caressed the corner of her mouth, and said slowly, "A fake is a fake after all, and no matter how clever the trick is, there will be flaws. If you know your own shortcomings, try to cover them up , no one will find out your secret. But if you forget your identity and get close to or even face your enemy, then you have committed a big taboo of disguise. For example, the distance between you and me now, a mistake will expose yourself .If I disguised myself, I wouldn't be so close to you... There is another point to keep in mind, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately when you enter Chang'an. Whether you can take revenge depends on God's will, you have committed too many crimes, even God will not allow you."

The lotus lamp was hidden behind the oily mud, panicked, and his face was burning hotly.Buddhism has a kind of ability to make him understand the heart, and he can understand the heart of the other party without opening his mouth. Does the national teacher also have such supernatural powers?She has always doubted his age, will he be seen by him?Chunguan's previous warning was still in her ears, and she was inevitably worried. If she offended him, she probably wouldn't have to go to the city so hard to find an enemy, and he would finish her off with a knife.

She didn't dare to disobey him, her eyes were blocked, she couldn't see anything, she could only hear his icy voice echoing in her ears.She couldn't answer, and could only nod her head as hard as she could. He was quite satisfied, his hands didn't stop, his tone became lighter, and he murmured: "Wang Lang is a good master, but he always thinks about you. I will introduce you to the Supreme Master." Jingu, he had his plan in the first place. The case of Bailiji happened three years ago. Although I was not walking in the court at that time, I had heard about the whole story of this incident. Have you never thought of asking me about it? ?”

Lian Deng slightly raised his head when he heard the words, and that posture also showed his thoughts.He looked at the muddy face and slightly raised the corners of his lips, "You mean that even if you ask me, I won't tell you?"

Isn't it?If changing her appearance is to protect King Apu and Jingu Quanquan, then providing her with the roster of the enemy's family, the so-called "not asking about world affairs" by the national teacher will become empty talk.Anyone and anything, there is a limit to helping each other.She was still grateful to him for his help so far, but if it went deeper, she would doubt his intentions.

Sure enough, he was just teasing her, and hummed for a long time, "That's a good guess, I really won't tell you. According to Wang Lang's intention, I will finish the work for you to suit his wishes. But Sheng Mi's kindness and Mi's hatred, too much is too late The truth has existed since ancient times." As he said that, he examined her face and found that she looked almost the same, then leaned forward and lifted it from under her ear, and carefully removed the sludge.

Her silhouette fell into his hands, and he turned and walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave.Lian Deng didn't care about the stickiness on her face, she turned her head and rubbed her shoulders, and followed quickly.

The light in the cave is too dark, and when it reaches the entrance of the cave, the sunlight is too bright.She covered it with both hands, and staggered up to Taoranting.The national teacher sat down by the pavilion, and the pottery model was placed on the straw mat prepared in advance. There was no other more delicate work, and it seemed that only sunbathing was left.

She didn't quite understand, she stood aside with her hands down and asked softly: "Master, are you going to dry the mold?" He nodded slightly, and she asked again, "Wouldn't it be better to burn the pottery embryos in the fire?"

He pursed his lips, he was not willing to answer her question, he paused and said: "I want this pottery model to absorb the yang energy, burn it with fire, what should I do if I burn out a tile?"

The lotus lamp was suffocated, and since the tunnel model is not invisible, why didn't you just make rubbings under the sun?If you want to endure the cold in the cave, and wait for the cold to enter the bone marrow before moving out, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable for yourself!But want to return to thinking, dare not talk too much.Even if he asked, if he forgot a word, the words would end in a dead end.

She was also sensible, and when she saw that he turned his head and ignored her, she shook her hands and planned to say goodbye.When he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped her, frowned and said, "Have you seen Chunguan in the past? What did you say in the garden?"

Thinking of the conversation with Fang Zhou, her brain swelled, and she talked with chickens and ducks from beginning to end.The smarter the person, the harder it is to dismiss them. She spent a lot of effort trying to fulfill Zhuan Zhuan's wish, but unfortunately Chunguan didn't mean it at all, otherwise the short sentences would not be so complicated on purpose.

But this kind of thing of pulling money to build a bridge is a bit stupid. I am afraid it will offend him if I say it, so I deliberately prevaricate, saying nothing, "I happened to meet Chun Guan when I was seeing off my companions. Chun Guan said that I have nothing to do and led me around Take a look. After seeing the national teacher passing by, Chunguan separated from me..." She glanced at him, his face was calm, she was slightly relieved, and hurriedly brought the topic back to the mask, " Is there anything else I can do after casting the mold? Although I can't help, I can still do some odd jobs."

But he didn't welcome her to participate, he got up and said: "This is a secret technique, and it is not rumored. If you want to learn it, I am afraid that you will have to worship me as a teacher. Unfortunately, this seat does not accept apprentices, so you just go back and wait for my news. It's done, I'll send someone to tell you." As he said that, he walked down the steps, just took a step, when he remembered something, he turned around and held out his hand to her.

Lian Deng didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that he half clenched his fists, probably he had something to give to her!She hesitated to take it, he let go, and a light weight fell on her palm.Looking down, it was the flower tincture on her forehead, small and weak, like a butterfly with broken wings, resting between her fingers.

She was a little surprised, thinking that she had lost it. After all, it was so small, and it disappeared when the wind blew.When she came out of the cave just now, she didn't even think about it, but unexpectedly it was in his palm, and she didn't forget to hand it back to her before leaving.In this way, instead, an empty sadness filled her heart, she couldn't explain it clearly, and felt a sense of loss.

This national teacher always gives people an elusive feeling. He is said to be aloof, but in fact he may not be. At least he has been normal since he met under the palace wall.Because of Wang Apu's entrustment, he tried his best to facilitate her; but it is hard to say that he is kind.He never forgets to make things difficult when he is surprised. Although it is harmless, it is enough to make people depressed for a while.

Lian Deng still didn't turn the corner, and followed him with his eyes, watching the long skirt dragging across the bluestone slab and heading towards the grassland with the wind.

He's gone, so what about Tao Mo?Just leave it like this, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon?She tucked up her sleeves and looked closely at the eyebrows and eyes, which were stretched out from her face, but it felt strange, and it was different from watching herself when her soul was out of her body.She stood there hesitating for a while, if she guarded it, she didn't know how long she would guard it.After wandering for a while, unable to think of a way, he finally returned to Linlang Realm.

In the next few days, I didn't step out of the boundary, and I didn't get any news from the national teacher.The nephew delivered her meals on time every day, and she didn't see anyone else except them.Tan Nu and Zhuan Zhuan bickered constantly, and she sometimes found them annoying.Now that they were gone, she had lost contact with the outside world, as if she had been locked up, like those deer.

If the mask is not made, she has to stay here honestly.When I was bored, I moved a wooden board and sat on the steps, and set up a game to play Shuanglu with myself.Climb to the roof after dark, lie on the tiles and bask in the moon.

I don't know how Tannu and the others are doing now, have they settled down, and have they found any news.And Wang Apu, it's cold, have you prepared firewood in advance, it's cold in the cave, don't shiver from the cold again.

She is a family lover, Mingsha Mountain is not her home, but after leaving Dunhuang, there is not a day that does not miss the empty caves.Bored, he put his hands on the back of his head and sang mournfully: "The red fox is standing on the sand dune, who will marry the bride? Hey, the procession to welcome the bride is ten miles long, black geese ride white horses, quails are matchmakers..."

She was singing, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter, the sound came from the top of her head, she looked up and looked up, under the moonlight, a person rushed up, standing not far from her, looking around The shape is to release a boat.

She hurriedly propped herself up and sat up, "Why is Chunguan here?"

He sat down beside her, and said with a smile, "I can't sleep, I went out to relax, I heard someone singing, and I came here to cheer." Then he chewed the lyrics carefully, and said puzzledly, "The red fox is standing on the sand dune, it is waiting for its bride?"

Lian Deng said no, "When the red fox puts on straw sandals at sunset, it can turn into a human. It is a messenger in the desert. It starts delivering messages at sunset and returns to Moon City at sunrise."

When he went to and from Chang'an, he had heard enough of the nine parts of Yayue and Yanyue, and this was the first time he heard this kind of song.What kind of red fox, what kind of messenger, unheard of.

"Is this a nursery rhyme from the Western Regions? It's different from the ones from the Central Plains."

Lian Deng shook her head, "I made it up myself. I had nothing to do when I was in Dunhuang. I only practiced and sang to pass the time."

Fang Zhou said, "Everything in the desert is very mysterious, and there is a vixen wearing straw sandals."

She didn't feel surprised when she heard it, she looked at the moon and said, "That's right!" She turned her head and grinned at him, "Since I'm here, may I sing it to you from the beginning?"

He said yes, and looked at her with his face in his hands.She was not petty at all, she cleared her throat, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if telling a story, Chunhuaqiuyue narrated.

From her singing, he heard a different world, with a vast desert, and a moon city like a heavenly palace.The imagination of young girls is endless, even if they are trapped in a small place, their movements are hindered, but their hearts are free.Compared with her, those people who imprisoned their souls and turned the clouds and rains are even more ridiculous.

He was silent for a while before asking her, "I heard that the national teacher promised to change your appearance for you?"

She replied yes, "How does the envoy know?"

"I'm close to the national teacher, what can I hide from you?" He smiled and waved his hand, "Not only this, but I also know your life experience and the purpose of this trip. But I'm curious, why are you so focused on revenge? , but never thought of overturning the case for your father and returning Bailishi's innocence?"

A sneering smile filled the corners of Lian Deng's lips, "Is innocence so important? People are dead, so what do you want to do with innocence? I'm a person who is afraid of trouble, and I don't want to spend so much time collecting evidence. It is enough for those who have harmed us to die in front of me, and other merits and reputations are not important to me at all."

Her personality is extremely straightforward, and she is probably more determined than many men.Fang Zhou turned his head to look at her, under the moonlight, she straightened her spine, with an inexplicably high-spirited beauty.It's just a youthful spirit, I'm afraid it won't last long.

"Do you know how many people are in the imperial guards stationed in Gyeonggi? I remember that when Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen, there were more than [-] soldiers, horses and policemen. With you, that dead soldier, and a Kucha fighter who doesn't know martial arts, he can assassinate Is it a court official?" His voice was cold, there was no need to exaggerate, and he calmly analyzed the situation in Chang'an City one by one to her, "The city is different from the Western Regions. The night market in the Western Regions is prosperous, and there is a curfew in Chang'an at night. It is tightly closed, and the government soldiers are constantly coming and going. If you walk a little slower, you will be caught, not to mention waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. If you choose to do it during the day, the Yamen is heavily guarded. When the officials are on duty, they will have close followers, so In my opinion, there are many difficulties, and you should think twice before acting."

Lian Deng has her plan, "No matter how careful you are, there will be a time when you are careful. I also know about the curfew. For ordinary people, it means staying behind closed doors, but for the princes of Dali, the curfew has never been It’s not an issue worth paying attention to. Everyone acts according to the law. If nothing else, the fans in Beili will starve to death first. Aren’t prostitutes all at night, and Dali officials during the day?”

Fang Zhou couldn't cope with these two sentences of hers, and she was right. No matter which dynasty, the law is only useful to the common people.If an official wants to commit a crime, he can have a hundred reasons to justify himself.He originally wanted to test her determination, but it seemed that she had the determination, not small.

"I just want to persuade you to pay attention to it. Some things are easier to think than difficult to do. If I am right, you may be able to succeed if you don't take precautions for the first one or two. Afterwards, if you take precautions, it will be difficult to succeed." gone."

She looked at the moon, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile, "It doesn't matter, killing one is still profitable, I have three years, and I can defeat them one by one."

He was surprised to be able to use such a brisk tone when talking about life and death.She never seemed to take this matter seriously, it was like doing a business without money, and she didn't care if she made money or lost money.

He breathed out slowly, "If you need my help anytime, just ask."

Lian Deng didn't pay attention at first, but later she realized that she turned her head and looked at him strangely, "Will the envoy help me?"

He laughed mockingly, "Just for your name and mine, I should help you too."

It was a little embarrassing to mention the name, although Lian Deng didn't think there was anything in common, but she was very grateful for his expression of such an attitude.She accepted his offer, but of course he declined his kindness, "What I did was not a good thing, and it was too late to get rid of the relationship with the shrine, and I dare not drag the envoy into trouble. Don't worry, I will evaluate my ability and be able to do it." If you can do it, you will spare no effort, and if you can't, you will judge the situation." She pursed her lips and smiled, "The envoy is really a good person, and his eyes are really good."

He leaned back slightly, as if listening to a joke, his shoulders trembled with a smile, "This compliment is different. No one has ever said that I am a good person. It really made me happy when I first heard it. If so, don't be fooled." , It’s always the gods who make Chunguan, I have no shortage of people to call me like this. Just call me Fangzhou, and I will get close when I call it, and maybe I can call me a brother in the future.”

She likes the word "fraternal brother", which is much better than inexplicable tricks.She cupped her hands to him, "Then I'll be abrupt, brother Fang Zhou."

After hearing this, he had a strange expression on his face, touched the back of his head and said, "Probably omit the first two words, it would be better to call you brother, what do you think?"

So from Fangzhou to brother, a few words, a huge change has taken place.

In fact, the friendship with him is not deep at all, except that he thinks that Apu entrusted her to him, and there is no relationship between them.Lian Deng made friends with everyone, and Tan Nu and Zhuan Zhuan also thought twice, so they naturally reserved three points for this Chunguan.But when he thought about it carefully, everything about her was clear in his eyes. He had no money or power, so why did others care about her!

She smiled and lowered her head to fiddle with the bamboo flute she made. He reached out to take it, tested the tone, frowned and said, "It's better to paste reed film or bamboo film on the membrane hole. What did you paste? Rice paper? "

She hesitated, "I know it's better to use bamboo film, but it took me a long time to peel it off, but I couldn't peel it off. Later, I just used rice paper. It's just a plaything anyway, so there's no need to be so particular about it."

She lacks the refinement of a girl in this aspect. For example, she is willing to spend two days to make a piece of flower tin. In her opinion, two days can do a lot of things. Waste of time on micas of any size.That's why Zhuan Zhuan often said that she didn't have any femininity, but she didn't take it seriously. Without femininity, can't she still be masculine?She felt that she just had a big heart, and when she let go of her burden and suddenly became enlightened, she might not be worse than her!
Fang Zhou tucked the bamboo flute into his sleeve, "Leave it to me, I'll redo it for you, and send it to you when it's done."

She said yes, and then turned her head to look at the moonlight. The moon tonight is so big and round that she can reach it with one hand.It's just a pity that the stars are not as bright as Dunhuang.She said: "Everything is good in the Central Plains, but the stars are too dim. From Dunhuang to Chang'an, I have nothing to do along the way. I can't stay in an inn, and I will spend the night in a tent in the wild with Tan Nu. After eating scones, there is nothing to do." Do it, just lie down in a row and watch the moon. The lights in the Central Plains are beautiful, but they compare to the stars..." She shook her head and said to herself, "It's not good. There are no people in the desert, but everything is the purest of."

He propped his elbows on his knees, his eyes were distracted, "I have never found any difference in the stars in any part of Dali, but there is a star pool in the shrine, and the lake can gather all the stars. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll take you there to have a look, row the boat to the middle of the lake, and there will be thousands of stars at your feet, that kind of scenery is beautiful."

She was surprised to hear that, and moved closer to him, "Brother, is it true?"

He laughed happily, "Just say "Brother" to you, and you must take it seriously."

Lian Deng was very happy, but she was not particularly interested in those flowers and trees, because there was nothing in the Gobi Desert, even if it was novel, she didn't have any deeper feelings.On the contrary, it was the stars and the moon, which reminded her of the days in Dunhuang.I didn't see people during the day, and I went down the mountain at night, lying on the humming sand dunes, looking at the starry sky, and the boredom in my heart gradually faded away.

Fang Zhou listened to her quietly, her side face was stained with moonlight, gentle and peaceful, very moving.If there were no previous events, maybe she would be the most honorable girl on the tall building!Sometimes fate can't help you. One omission will lose everything, and you will fall from heaven to hell with just a snap of your fingers.

He turned his eyes and stared blankly at the full moon, "After the Chang'an matter is resolved, what are your plans?"

Lian Deng said: "I want to go back to Dunhuang and help Wang Apu finish the mural."

"Have you been painting murals all your life? Nothing else?"

She hasn't had time to think about anything else. If she can return to Dunhuang alive, she will think of the trip to Chang'an after a few years, which may be the most brilliant stroke in her life.Some people are born willing to be mediocre, and she is like that.She said: "I have no ideals. I will finish the planned things first. If I have a new goal one day, I will re-plan the future path. But most of them are painting. Apart from this, I can't think of what else I can do. "

A person loses the past, and the two years with memory are as simple as blank paper, so they are aimless.Fang Zhou tried to guide her, "You should have your own life. Girls will marry in the future. It is sad when parents pass away. Once you have your own home, this kind of pain can be alleviated."

"Marry?" It was the first time she faced this question directly, and it sounded a bit ridiculous, "Why do you want to marry? Wang Apu has always been alone, and he has a good life. But it still depends on what Apu means, if he If you think I should get married, then find someone in Dunhuang to betroth to, as long as you don’t have to move, and you can be closer to him.”

It's amazing to be able to have no desires and demands to this extent, "You don't have any demands on your future son? As long as you stay close to the king and Taoist priest, it doesn't matter if you marry a reckless man?"

Lian Deng was still at a loss, no one had ever talked to her deeply about this topic, not even going around.Zhuanzhuan only talks about her little man who is as beautiful as pearls and jade all day long. Maybe it is also important for him to be good-looking.But she doesn't know much about these things. She only knows that after she gets married, she will herd sheep with this person and eat in a pot. Beauty and ugliness actually have no effect on life.

She shrugged, "If he treats me badly, I can beat him until he treats me well."

Fang Zhou almost choked on his own saliva, he really has a straightforward temper, there seems to be no problem in the world that cannot be solved by force.But it shouldn't be like this, she is almost sixteen, and a sixteen-year-old should have her own thoughts.He suddenly had a kind of enthusiasm for warming the old and the poor, and explained to her patiently, "Lang Zi is not a friend, let alone find a stonemason for the cave. He is the person you will spend your whole life with. Girls in Chang'an usually They will pick out the children of a famous family, or gentle, polite, and good-looking talents, just like me. Finding this person, falling in love with him, and living a sweet life is the true meaning of getting married."

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't realize what it was to be in love. She smiled vaguely, shook her head and said that she didn't want to talk about it, "I won't get married for the time being, let's talk about it when the time comes!"

Wouldn't it be too late by then, go back to that populated place, and find a local with a greasy face?He looked at the face in front of him, and he couldn't imagine it. A blink of an eye was a clever trick, "Speaking seriously, I know you, Aye, well. We have had a relationship. I don’t know if you still remember me, but you were only five or six years old at the time, and you, Aye, joked with me, saying that you would be betrothed to me in the future.”

Lian Deng was startled, and looked up at him anxiously, "Is there such a thing?"

Whether there is, it's not up to him, who made her lose her memory!He laughed like the wind blowing wicker, "People in the Central Plains pay attention to the life of their parents, and now Daoist Wang is also deliberately hinting, it just depends on whether you take these seriously."

Lian Deng was dizzy and didn't understand why all these entanglements were involved all of a sudden.She didn't really believe it, and looked at him again and again, he looked like Feng Jiyue, "What? In my heart."

As expected, she didn't take it seriously, An Ran nodded, "It's been too long, so it's worth not mentioning it. Besides, you are many years older than me, so your age is inappropriate."

Now it's the turn of Fang Zhouyu, what does she mean by this?Think he is the youngest?He propped himself up with one hand, accidentally breaking the green tile with too much force, and there was a soft click.

He is usually unruly, and never suffers from teasing others. This time, she turned against the general. Annoyed, he planned to make a fake show for real. He calmed down and said with a smile: "Why is it so much older? I'm only in my teens. I don’t want to take it seriously, but I’m afraid that you, Aye, will be dissatisfied. How about this, you remember that you have a marriage contract with me, so you can control your words and deeds. You don’t need to tell anyone about this, only you and I know, do you think it’s possible?”

what?The lotus lantern was suddenly put on a plowshare, and it was obviously impossible to hit it with eight poles. If there is a marriage contract, is there a marriage contract?

He felt guilty because of her big eyes, stood up and said: "In the future, I will discuss with me in advance, and tell me whoever I like, remember that I have a marriage contract, and I will not harm you." After shaking his sleeves, he jumped off the eaves and walked away.

Lian Deng began to worry, not knowing whether his words were true or not, and it was not easy to ask others for proof, only she could compete with herself.

If it's what Aye meant, she should obey her father's orders.But Zhuan Zhuan had shown in advance that she liked Chunguan, if she snatched Zhuan Zhuan's husband, how would she explain in front of Zhuan Zhuan?So don't take this matter to heart for the time being, and ask Abu when I return to Dunhuang in the future. If Abu can prove it, I will play it by ear.If Ah Pu expresses his ignorance, it is likely that Fang Zhou fabricated it on purpose to tease her, so he can ignore it.

But what he said about loving each other made her yearn for it.After traveling for more than 3000 miles, she once saw the warm smile on the man's face when he helped his wife get off the sedan chair, and also saw the poor couple sheltering from the rain under the eaves, and the light in the wife's eyes when she looked back at her husband.Maybe that's love. Lian Deng has never experienced it, so she can't understand it, but she likes this feeling. The two rely on each other, and they are not alone at all.

She sat cross-legged on the heavy mat, propped her cheeks and thought, imagining that she had found someone in Dunhuang, and he would share half of the scones in his arms with her when she was herding sheep, which seemed not bad.

After thinking wildly for a long time, before going to bed, I took off my hair to find a comb, opened the makeup box and saw the piece of flower tin, and couldn't help but pause.I reached out to caress the two wings, and tried to paste them between the eyebrows, but unfortunately they couldn't. It seemed that I could only lie alone in the corner in the future.

The days pass slowly, day after day, and it has been a while since the cast.During this period, she didn't get any news from the national teacher, so she waited anxiously.After that night's talk, Fang Zhou also disappeared, and making her a bamboo flute and taking her to Juxingchi became empty talk.The Taishang Shrine is still mysterious, and even if you enter it, you don't think you know anything about it.The only good thing is that she still remembers the way. After counting the days, today is No. 16. It shouldn't be considered impolite to ask about the situation in the past!But he hesitated when he reached the boundary, not knowing whether he should go to the main hall or Taoranting.Seeing a few witches in green clothes walking by from a distance, she stepped forward and raised her hands to find out where the national teacher was.

The witches are all seventeen or eighteen years old, with large breasts and willow waists, very mature.The weather in the Supreme Shrine seemed to be getting warmer faster than outside. These witches all put on light clothes, and wore peach red myrobalan under their collars.Seeing her, Qi Qi returned a salute, and said with a smile: "Is the lady a distinguished guest who came a few days ago? We entered the palace with Mrs. Cuiwei, and we didn't see the lady until today... Greetings to the lady. Where is the national teacher? We don't know I don’t know, but I summoned my wife earlier and probably went east together.”

The lotus lamp looked in the direction guided by them, it should be Tao Ranting, so he thanked them.Those witches smiled sweetly, then looked at her clothes, and praised: "This kind of Hufu is the real Hufu. The ones sold in the shop have been improved. The collar is made like a copper basin, but it loses its taste. After two days When the lady is free, let's borrow her clothes and cut some pieces, how is the lady?"

Girls love beauty, and when they get together, the topics are soft and charming.These witches are different from Tannu Zhuanzhuan, unlike their usual wandering in the wind and waves, with mottled cracks in their hearts.They live in the Jingu Palace and Longshouyuan. Although their status is not high, they are calm and enterprising, and they have never had many twists and turns, so they have a peaceful look on their faces.

After all, Lian Deng was young, a little shy, pinching the hem of his clothes and said: "Dress in the desert, very vulgar, if you don't mind, you can come to my residence to pick it up at any time."

Those witches were very happy, said a few more polite words, and went to the other side of the bamboo forest holding hands.

Lian Deng forgot to move, looking at their dresses with emotion.Most of the fabrics in the Central Plains are light and thin. The last time I sent a short jacket, it was covered very tightly. I didn’t expect to change it to this when the weather got warmer.

She proudly pushed her up, very ambitious to be left behind.Suddenly he felt a little ridiculous, looked left and right for no one, let out a breath, and hurried towards Taoranting.

Fortunately, I didn't crash into any formations this time. Maybe there were too many people in the shrine, so the formations were all withdrawn!In short, I stepped into the mountains and rivers very smoothly, Taoranting is still the same as before, there is no one around, only the melodious birdsong.

She went to the pavilion to take a look first, the Tumo had been taken away, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart.If it goes well, the mask should be almost ready, but the national teacher is nowhere to be seen, whether he is in the cave or not.

She hooked the pavilion pillar to visit, not daring to go in casually.With her hands behind her back, she was wandering around. Anyway, she had plenty of time and planned to wait until the sun went down. If the national teacher was here, she would come out sooner or later.

The sun was shining brightly, and the blue sky was like washing. She turned around a few times and stopped, leaning against the rocks to bask in the sun.Gradually, my eyelids became heavy, so I found a place to sit down and take a nap.In the dimness, I heard someone arguing. It was not violent, but the words were sonorous.Lian Deng was dazed at first, but when he heard the mention of Dunhuang and Wang Lang in their words, he suddenly came to his senses.When she jumped up, the person was already in front of her.

She saw clearly that the person who came was the same beautiful woman from the National Teacher.The beauty wears a silver wave goldfish jiaoluo jacket, and a red cape around her. Her picturesque eyebrows are cold and stunning.Lian Deng had never seen her before, but that face was so familiar that she was surprised.She stared at her blankly, thinking hard, and suddenly woke up, she was so similar to the gods in the cave.The same good looks, the same noble look.It turns out that the characters in Ah Pu's works have prototypes. She made a vague guess, but she didn't know how deep the feelings are to integrate a person into a stroke.

The beauty didn't hesitate, and gave the national teacher a cold look, "That's her?"

The national teacher nodded, but did not introduce. The beauty's lingering anger is still there, but it is not appropriate to explode in front of outsiders, so she said to him: "That's all I said, please consider whether it is good or bad." Wrong body, walked away.

Lian Deng was a little embarrassed, so she was the junior junior sister of the national teacher, the one who sealed Mrs. Longxi?Such a beautiful person is very disgusted with her existence, even if she doesn't say it, Lian Deng can feel it.

It's really helpless for her to depend on others, and it's not unreasonable to be rejected by her. Such a trouble coming to their door will disturb their peaceful life.She is like an ant, they are high above and should not be with her.

The national teacher is still there, and Bao Yibo is standing with his hands behind his back. Cuiwei's words just now did not affect him in any way.He watched her walk away, turned his eyes and glanced at Lian Deng, "What are you doing here?" He said in a blunt tone, but his tone was fine.

Lian Deng held her hands together, "I want to ask how the mask is doing. I counted the time, and it has been more than half a month today. The weather has been fine during this period, so it should be going well! I am separated from my friends. It’s been several days, and I’m anxious to go to the city to look for them, if it’s done, I’ll leave earlier.”

Lin Yuan is a smart person, he can naturally sense her frustration.The words that Cuiwei put on her face were just superficial, the girl has a delicate mind, she seems to have an easy-going temper, but also has arrogance, so she is eager to leave, and she is unwilling to suffer from such uselessness.

"I saw it just now, and it's a little bit insufficient. It may take two or three days." He thought for a while, and it seemed that he should smooth things over, and said, "Cuiwei and Wang Lang are also old acquaintances. In fact, we have the same concerns. When you come to Chang'an, It is destined to cause gunpowder and smoke everywhere. Gyeonggi has been peaceful for a long time, and no one wants to see turmoil. It is human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, so don't take her words to heart, she does things mercilessly, and her heart is still kind."

The advantage of the lotus lantern is that you don’t distract yourself from everything. Maybe you were sad at the last moment. If someone comforts you a few words, you will turn your head and look away.She smiled sincerely, "Everyone's position is different. I can't ask everyone to pamper me like Ah Pu. But I am very grateful to the national teacher. Even if I am not in Chang'an in the future, I will always remember it. The national teacher is good."

"Always remember?" He raised the corners of his lips lonelyly, "If the Jingu gets involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to appreciate it anymore. I still say the same thing, I hope the beginning and the end will be good, and you will live up to Wang Lang's life-saving grace. I also don't live up to the friendship of my old friends."

However, there are very few things in the world that can achieve both, so what will happen in the future is still unknown.Lian Deng Nuo Nuo agreed, knowing that the mask would be two days away, and she didn't know why she was standing here.She raised her eyes to look at him, his eyes were filled with distant mountains, accidentally meeting her eyes made her heart tremble.

She hurriedly turned her head, a little flustered, and casually found a topic and said, "I haven't seen Chunguan for several days, I don't know where he went..."

He lowered his eyes and flicked the smoked ball on his waist, "He's very idle, I sent him out on some errands, and he won't be back for a while. Why, what do you need from him?"

Lian Deng hurriedly said it was nothing, "My flute was broken, and Chun Guan promised to redo it for me. He promised to send it to me the next day, but I waited for a long time and there was no sign of him."

He turned around and watched a falcon pass by the pine tree indifferently, rushing towards the sky with a long groan, and said after a long time: "There are many flutes in the palace, let Lu Changshi send you some over there later. I heard that you have been spending the night on the roof these days, is Linlang Jie uncomfortable?"

Lian Deng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that even where she slept would be hard to escape his attention.She rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment, "Linlangjie is very good. I fell in love with watching the stars on the roof. After watching for a long time, I fell asleep on it."

He nodded after hearing this, "The Central Plains is no different than the desert. It's cold at night, so be careful when you spend the night outside."

He has always spoken without warmth, and his occasional sympathy is flattering.Surprised, she quickly leaned over, "Liandeng remembered, thank you for your concern."

He didn't answer her, walked down the steps slowly with his hands tucked in, and said as he walked: "There will be no barriers in the shrine for these two days, if you are interested in looking around, it's okay."

He walked farther and farther away in a fluttering robe, and it became a habit to leave the lotus lamp behind every time.She gave a long bow to his back, and thought of what he left behind, feeling secretly happy.At first, she was amazed that the flowers and plants in the shrine grew against the time, but later she was in it, except for the confusion of the seasons, she had no other feelings.On the contrary, the Gathering Star Pool sounds amazing. She will leave in a few days after the mask is completed, and she may not be able to come in again in the future. It seems good to take the opportunity to feast her eyes.

She made up her mind to be complacent, seeing that the sky was still a while away from the moonrise, she returned to Linlang Realm with nothing to do, and cleaned the inside and outside.Gradually the sun was sinking to the west, and I sat in the yard eagerly waiting for the stars to come out.The deer probably saw her stupid and stupid appearance, stepped on small steps and sniffed her, with an expression as if it smelled stupid, and turned its head to the other side contemptuously.

Lotus Lantern stroked its back a few times, "I've already made amends to you, how long are you going to fight? A deer, where does it come from such a temper?" He said holding its face, "I I’m planning to go to Juxingchi to see the stars, I’m lonely, can you go with me? I know you can understand me, don’t play dumb! I don’t know the way, take me there, and sit there for an hour Just come back, okay?" After waiting for a while and seeing no sign from it, he nodded with peace of mind, "I'll take it as your agreement if you don't say anything, then okay, let's go now!"

Is this bullying it can't speak?The deer looked innocent, and she dragged it far away by its horns.In the end, she found it difficult to get rid of, so she struggled to escape from her claws, scratched her hooves, and walked in front of her with her head held high.

The cool wind is blowing, the moon is light and the stars are sparse, and the lotus lamp looks up at the sky. It seems that it is not a good weather for stargazing, but since it is out, it is still full of hope.

She turned on the light and walked forward, and the sika deer really acted as her guide, jumping and running on the bluestone road a foot away from her, the short deer tail and round buttocks turned around in her sight, which was a bit funny to watch.

Juxing Pool is some distance away from Linlang Realm, east of the Nine-storied Pagoda, it needs to pass through a peach forest.Lian Deng has never been here, just follow the deer.After walking for a while, I began to wonder if this guy was taking revenge on her and deliberately led her around.While hesitating, she gradually came to the edge of the peach forest. It turned out that the peach forest was built on a high slope. She was not careful and almost fell down.Waiting for the god to look again, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

Juxing Pool is called Chi, to be precise, it is a lake, not very big, but the lake water is blue.Just as Fangzhou described, the lake is full of stars.Looking down from a height, it looks like a blue bowl filled with finely divided colored glaze, and the sky shines, reflecting the ultimate splendor.She turned her head and asked the deer, "Wu Ming, do you think the Supreme Shrine is a fairy world? If not, why is there such a beautiful place?"

The deer has always been very dissatisfied with her calling it nameless, but it is a pity that she can't squint like a human, so she let out a smirk from her nose, indicating that her vision is too narrow and she has never seen the big world.

The lotus lamp didn't care about its contempt, screamed and swooped down from above, and ran around the water on the bank, tsk-tsk admiration.Although the things in the water are difficult to figure out, they are one layer closer than the sky, but seem to be within reach.Maybe this is the place where the national teacher observes the astrology. Lian Deng's simple head can't build such exquisiteness. He only knows the beauty of the desert, which is majestic and tragic, and the beauty of the Central Plains. This life is not in vain.

She called Wuming over and motioned it to look at the boat on the shore, "I'll take you on a boat, okay?"

The deer actually took a step back and shook his head.She didn't force it, "Can a deer know how to swim? Then wait for me on the shore and don't go far." She jumped into the boat while instructing, grabbed the penny and lit it down, breaking a pool of starlight.Feeling very happy in my heart, I laughed and sang about her red fox, and rowed to the other end of the lake.

It is rare for people who grew up in the desert to know how to row a boat like Lian Deng.At that time, a caravan was traveling from the Central Plains to Persia, and she dropped a bag of water chestnuts at the foot of the mountain. She picked them up and planted them in the Crescent Spring.

Juxing Pool is of course much bigger and deeper than Crescent Lake.She paddled lightly without causing ripples, turned around and looked back, a long string of tracks at the stern shattered the mirror, and the sides of the boat were still full of stars.He simply took back the penny and parked in the middle of the lake at will, sat down with his knees hugged, stared at the water surface, and felt that the sky had been trampled under his feet.People don't have to think about anything at this time, she closed her eyes and sighed softly, a cool breeze blew over the lake, bringing a slight chill, sultry and sultry.

There was silence all around, except for the hollow rumble of microwaves rippling on the bottom of the boat.She didn't take it seriously at first, but gradually the sound of the water became clear, gurgling and continuous.She straightened up, a little nervous, the boat swayed with the wind, and the sound of the water became louder as she went south.She hurriedly touched the penny, but she couldn't find it after searching all over the side of the boat. Looking back, she didn't know when it fell into the water and was floating far away from the boat.

The ship seemed to have a will of its own, to lead her somewhere.No matter how courageous Lian Deng is, he is still a little timid. He clenched his fists and stared straight ahead. When the bow turned the corner, he saw a man under a protruding rock corner. A fine mist was stirred up, enveloping him between reality and emptiness.

Lian Deng was terrified, and turned around in a hurry on the boat, but did not dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of that person.Taking a quick look, I only know that it is a man, whose identity is temporarily unknown.She hurriedly lay on the stern and used her hands as oars. Facts have proved that sometimes human strength is indeed limited. She failed to change the course, and the boat still stubbornly moved forward according to its will, until it came to his side.

Lian Deng finally met him face to face, his vision was blurred under the moonlight, but his facial features were still discernible, it was none other than the national teacher.

For the rest of her life, she will never forget the panic-stricken face of the national teacher, with her red lips slightly parted and her eyes wide open, just like Wuming on the shore.Lian Deng's impression of him was nothing but cold and distant. Unexpectedly, this fairy-like figure was desecrated by her inexplicably, and fell from the sky into the world in an instant, and was reduced to staring at her.

It turns out that this is not the place where he watches astrology, but his bathhouse!

At this moment, the national teacher is pure and natural, so fragile that it is unimaginable.Lian Deng heard his trembling voice, and said "you" several times in anger and embarrassment.The hair on her back stood up, and she sat on the boat with a slumped face. She murmured for a long time, pretending to be smart, and then she folded her eyes and said, "Is there anyone here? I'm night-blind, I can't see anything... I can't see... "

Of course the national teacher didn't believe her nonsense, wanted to stand up straight, thought of something, quickly sank down again, and said in a hateful voice: "When I go ashore, I must kill you!"

How can the gods kill people!Lian Deng wanted to escape, but the boat didn't move at all. She had to continue to face the national teacher directly, and there was nowhere to hide.She was also nervous, talking nonsense, "I entered by mistake, I didn't mean it. Besides, my eyesight is not good at night, I really don't see anything... Chang'an is a month, thousands of households pounding clothes... I heard Clothes sound, you are washing clothes, right?" Finally, it ended with a series of embarrassing haha.

In fact, she thinks this is a good step, if you follow it down, nothing will happen.But the national teacher is too stubborn, his anger can't be calmed down, and he doesn't want to be tarnished in vain like this.So Lian Deng was dizzy and turned to watch him pull the clothes to wrap his body, and leaped lightly, directly onto the bow of the boat.

She was so startled that she moved back with her hands propped up, and curled up in a ball at the stern of the boat.Then I heard him speak, with a blade in his voice, which almost cut her to pieces, "I can't see who this seat is, please say it again!"

Lian Deng waved his hands tremblingly, "I really can't see... I can't see... I'm night blind."

He snorted, and the previously extinguished lantern suddenly lit itself, and the flame jumped, illuminating his ghostly pale face.He knelt down and got close to her, with his long wet hair sticking to his cheeks, there was an inexplicably coquettish beauty.

"You can see clearly now?" he said, and the cold water vapor rushed to her face, filling her eye sockets.

Lian Deng couldn't help screaming, she usually called herself a heroine, but she couldn't use her fists in such a situation.The national teacher is too powerful, she subconsciously decided that she is not his opponent, so she is not even as good as an ordinary person in front of him.She nodded in a panic, "I see clearly... now I see clearly." After speaking, she fell into an even greater panic, and her crime was confirmed, is she really planning to do something?She swallowed with difficulty, "But I can only see the current national teacher clearly, the previous... still don't have much impression."

If the national teacher's brain structure is complex enough, he will hear a meaning to let him take off under the lamp again.Sure enough, he seemed surprised and contemptuous, "You are a ghost, greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuse to admit your debt. Sooner or later, such a person will implicate Wang Lang and Jingu. It is better to end you now, so as to avoid endless troubles."

She couldn't just let her go, and she would never admit that she would be so dishonest, so she stood up and confronted him, "I made a mistake first, and the national teacher will do whatever he wants. But I want to make it clear that it is the national The master informed me that the enchantment was withdrawn from the shrine, so I can play around. I didn’t know that the national master was here beforehand, and I didn’t expect that someone would take a bath in the open air on such a cold day, so even if there was a mistake, it was an unintentional mistake Well, there are a lot of masters of the national teacher, and they should not be as knowledgeable as I am. As for the national teacher's worry that I will betray Abu and the Jingu, it is completely unfounded. Please rest assured, the national teacher."

Lian Deng felt that what he said was well-founded, no matter what he thought, the most important thing was to clarify the responsibilities first.If he hadn't authorized her to step out of Linlang Realm, she wouldn't have come to this Star Pool.Without him bathing casually in broad daylight... But the national teacher's figure is really good. Although the moonlight is not good tonight, the stars on the Gathering Pool are shining brightly. The waist and the lines make the blood surge.With an identity like his, he is used to being worshiped, but he never thought that once he is looked down upon by others, he would probably feel that life would be better than death if his majesty is discredited!

Looking at his face again, her heart skipped a beat because of her anger, and she knew that if she said too much, she would fail, and the national teacher was going to kill her.

She raised her arms to cover her chest, and said: "The national teacher and Ah Pu are close friends, so I won't bear to make Ah Pu sad! Besides, don't people in the Central Plains think that it is women who suffer in this kind of thing? A man is a man, even if he is hurt by others It’s nothing to see. The Wei and Jin literati took cold food powder and showed their breasts... I won’t tell others. I will leave at dawn tomorrow. I will go far away. I will never appear in front of the national teacher again in this life. It’s so feasible ?”

He looked at her coldly, with the corners of his lips raised strangely, "It's all over, brush your clothes, you have a good plan."

The lotus lamp expresses the grievances of the woman who was let down by her husband in Su Mu Zhe. Thinking about it, she did not do anything to him. It is hot in Dunhuang, and there are often shirtless men walking in the desert. No dross can be left behind.The national teachers are different, they are nobler than them, and they have to pay for their lives just by looking at them.She was powerless to refute, her mind went blank, and she couldn't think of any good way to make it up.

She took a deep breath, "Well, if the national teacher feels that he has suffered a big loss, I will take it off and let the national teacher see it all over again. I am not afraid of death, but because my father has not revenged, so I dare not die. Let me clean up Get rid of those traitors and come back to the shrine, and then you will be butchered by the national teacher." After speaking, he looked at him pitifully, took half a step forward, picked up the silver hook with his hands behind his back, and threw the scorpion belt under his feet.

Doing so can be regarded as advancing as retreating. The national teacher is a noble person and must never allow himself to be insulted again.Lian Deng expected that he would refuse, so he untied the belt and An Ran waited for him to stop drinking, but who knew it didn't, he pursed his lips tightly, as if he wanted to look back.She froze, not knowing what to do next, but she heard him question: "Why don't you take it off?"

She thought he was probably too angry, so angry that he hurt his head, "The national teacher really wants to see it?"

He squinted his eyes, his red lips were like blood, "You suggested it yourself, but now you come to ask this seat? Or should you blow out the lamp for the sake of fairness?"

Lian Deng is in a dilemma. She reads Zhong Yuan's book and knows the shame.If a woman's body is seen by others, half her life will be ruined. Doesn't the national teacher understand this truth at an old age?At first, she only thought that he sat high on the clouds and would not eat the fireworks of the world, but she didn't expect that he also had the good habit of vengeance.She has always been daring, and since he insisted, she will pay him back even the principal with interest, and she will just owe nothing in the future.

She said: "Don't turn off the light, lest the national teacher can't see clearly." She really untied the tie on the collar, opened the blouse, and began to take off the inner jacket.

In fact, he was just angry. After all, ascetic people can't let vulgar things dirty their eyes, he finally spoke out when she was untying the tie of her jacket, telling her to stop.Lian Deng's heart fell to the ground with a thud, it's all over now.However, a strange look appeared on the face of the national teacher, and he said gloomyly: "Some things in the world are harmless, but some are difficult to tolerate. I can take you in the shrine, or I can change your appearance for you, but today's incident makes me feel so sad. I'm not happy. Do you know what crime you've committed?"

Lian Deng nodded obediently, "I saw the national teacher taking a bath, which made the national teacher feel ashamed."

Her answer was obviously not smooth enough, the corner of the teacher's mouth twitched, and after trying to calm down, he said: "The Dali is a country of etiquette, I don't care what happens in the Western Regions, the old customs in the Central Plains are that you can't peek at people taking a bath, you have to take responsibility for it." , do you understand?"

Lian Deng hesitated, "What are you responsible for?"

Her prevarication made him even more annoyed, and he snapped uncharacteristically, "You worship under Wang Lang, and Wang Lang comes from a rich family of poets and books, so he didn't even teach you this bit of etiquette, righteousness and shame? You have read so many books in the cave, where have you been? After saying that, he hummed, "It's a hypocrisy, and a thief of etiquette!"

She was rendered speechless by his robbing her. Gentle people are always swearing at others, so what kind of thief is she? How did she become a thief?But after all, I was at a loss, and it was already a great favor for him not to kill her, so there is nothing to refute!
She was dejected, "The national teacher taught me the right thing. I am Meng Lang, and I am willing to accept the crime. I ask the national teacher to explain how to be responsible."

Wrapped in his robe, he snorted again, "I can't goug out your eyeballs, how can you be responsible? Go back and think about it carefully. When you figure it out, come to Taoranting to see me the day after tomorrow. I will listen to your plan."

He probably also realized that his bare feet were not very elegant, so he gave her an angry look, ordered her to row the boat with both hands, forced him to the shore, then jumped and walked away.
