Ning Gu

There is a bamboo house in a secluded bamboo, and a solitary mound next to the house.

Xie Ling and Lu Qi led Master Huixuan to grope in the emerald green, and it was not until noon that they finally saw the soul banner on the solitary mound.

Lu Qi turned around and saw that Xie Ling was sweating on his forehead, and wanted to take Master Huixuan from his back. Xie Ling wanted to persevere, but his increasingly vain footsteps proved that his physical strength was exhausted, and he could fall. Down, but Huixuan...

He knelt down and let Lu Qi take the man from his back.After getting up, he held onto the bamboo beside him and slowed down for a while before continuing to walk.

After all, he is a person who walked before the gate of hell, his body is not as good as before, besides, he is still a scholar, riding and shooting was taught by Zhao Zuo later, of course he doesn't remember this incident at all.

They gradually approached the bamboo house, when Lu Qi saw Xie Ling following him, he was about to push the door, but saw a woman coming out of the bamboo house.The person was also taken aback when she saw Lu Qi, she immediately came back to her senses, saluted and said, "I've seen the little prince."

Lu Qi saw that she was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Ma'am, you're very polite."

"I'm bothering Madam, who is buried in this tomb?" Xie Ling looked sideways at the tomb outside the house, and asked the people inside.

Madam Shi Shiran put down her skirt, and put the familiar voice behind her. In the past few years, every time she heard the voice familiar, she turned around and saw the person who was waiting for her master. Later they all said that She was dead, and even when she met Congshan Langjun later, she never saw him, so she believed it was true.She thought that she would never wait again in this life, so she said: "It's my sister. It's on the young prince's back, but a monk?"

"It's my brother." Xie Ling, who came from behind, opened the small gate of the courtyard for Lu Qi.

The lady who raised her head suspiciously when she heard the sound was stunned the moment she saw Xie Ling, and then her eyes were full of disbelief, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes turned red, and she even wanted to raise her hand The dagger was pierced into this person's heart, and thousands of thoughts rushed to his heart, finally converging into a whimper.

She took two or three steps to the front of the door, raised her hand and waved it, she wanted to give him a slap like in the old days, in order to let go of the hatred in her heart.

"Suizhu?" Xie Ling frowned, he still remembered this incident, he still remembered clearly what happened when he was young, but his memory became more and more blurred afterwards.

Suizhu is the little maidservant next to Daoist Miaofa, a wild girl picked up by Miaofa at some point.Master Miaofa said that people in this world know Heshibi, Suihou Zhu is the most precious, and the little maid beside her was called Abi a few years ago, but it's a pity that her fortune is poor, so this girl named her Suizhu. , is the treasure of her Miaofa Daoist, and she has to live better for that A Bi.

Suizhusu hung her hands high, but lost her strength the moment she heard the call, she turned around and wiped away her tears with the thorn cloth sleeve, and then echoed: "Brother Ling."

She prepared tens of thousands of vicious words to him in her heart. She remembered that this person returned to Xuanguan for the last time and handed a wooden box to Reverend Miaofa; She said that what was hidden in the bamboo house was Xie Ling's order, so she must guard it; she remembered that Master Huixuan said the same thing to the gentleman from Shanlang when they came, and there were even many more secrets around the bamboo house the next day. Wei; and she is always invited by Mr. Congshan to the palace next to Xianshan for a few days every year to cook a birthday cake for Mr. Congshan. These people cherish his life so much, but he doesn't know it look like.

"I also hope that Zhu Meier will find a place for me to put the body of Senior Brother Huixuan." Xie Ling didn't want to reminisce about the old days with her, maybe he was raised by Fufeng all these years, maybe he was like this in the first place. The cold-faced and cold-blooded person that the world spits, impeaches friends and ministers, and harms friends.

"Corpse... Corpse?" Sui Zhu heard this word, his eyes widened.She pushed Xie Ling away, put her hands on Lu Qi's shoulder, and went to confirm the person on his back.

Pushed by her, Xie Ling staggered a step, Fang wanted to speak, but Suizhu suddenly burst into tears, she was originally a country woman, she had been with such a free and easy person as Miaofa since she was a child, it was reasonable to disregard etiquette.

Lu Qi was taken aback by her actions, and stood stiffly, struggling to advance or retreat.It took a long time before he said: "You, calm down first. The most urgent thing is Master Huixuan..."

Xie Ling pulled her away, bit his lower lip, and suppressed the sadness in his heart because of the man's crying: "Brother, you should prepare yourself."

When he was pushed away by Suizhu just now, when he looked back, he saw that beside the solitary mound, one side of the weeds had been removed, and the earth seemed to have been turned over in half.He thought, since Suizhu lived here, no one else would dare to touch the soil.Kuang came all the way, Lu Qi walked in front, touching the jade pendant on his waist from time to time, he guessed that Xu was delivering some news.The bamboo forest was not supposed to be a place where secrets could be hidden, but it was completely silent. He guessed that there must be many hidden guards here, or the hidden guards of the noble family in front of him.

It can be inferred that no one else can come, and it is next to the tomb of Miaofa, so only Senior Brother Huixuan can do this.

I dug my own grave, thinking about it...

"This year, he expected this day to come." Suizhu took a broom and swept away the thin layer of soil covering the empty coffin, "He said, 'There was nothing, why? Dust everywhere, wrap the corpse in a straw mat, just bury it beside her'. I, on my own initiative, added a coffin for him."

Xie Ling raised his hand, cast his eyes deep in the bamboo forest, and then glanced at Lu Qi: "Let them come out and help."

Lu Qi was surprised, and felt that he had covered it up very well, but he had forgotten many things about Xie Ling, but his eyes and mind remained the same.He was going to put Huixuan aside, but seeing Xie Ling's gaze fixed on him, he could only make a move with one hand.

The dark guard appeared from the forest, and after being ordered to open the coffin lid, he invited Master Huixuan into the coffin from Lu Qi's back.

The coffin was covered with earth, and Xie Ling knelt in front of Miaofa's tomb without saying a word, but Suizhu was not as calm as him, and just lay down on the grave, crying loudly, as if crying for Xie Ling's share go.

At night, the dark guard seemed to have been ordered by someone, and called Suizhu to the kitchen to cook with a spoon, while Lu Qi held the lamp beside Xie Ling, and he stood up for as long as Xie Ling knelt.He knew that the person in the palace had received the news and gave the secret guard instructions, and he knew that the people in the palace had always treated his father and him very well.He gave himself rich clothes and fine food, he taught himself etiquette and self-cultivation, he also taught himself riding, archery, poetry and prose, and he also taught himself a sentence - "Speakless, long-term companionship is enough".

So he stood silently by Xie Ling's side, since he couldn't mourn for him, he had to stay with him and mourn for him.

Until Suizhu came to call the two of them, he still didn't see Xie Ling get up, he didn't dare to leave, he still stood by his side.

"Go and eat some, you haven't eaten rice for a day."

"Father... if the mountain man does not leave, I should not leave."

"You and I are not relatives, so why not go, go."

Lu Qi was agitated by his words, and felt extremely wronged, but he had no choice but to do as he said, leave the lamp by his side, and enter the house with Suizhu.

He was sitting at the table, eating with chopsticks, worried in his heart: "Father is like this..."

Listening to his words, Suizhu also turned her eyes to the tomb outside the courtyard, but she took her eyes away after just one glance, she still felt a little hatred in her heart, she couldn't tell what it meant, she only hoped that he would kneel for a while, but she was afraid He went on like this and caught cold at night.More than ten years have passed, and in her eyes, he, Xie Ling, is still the little brother who often comes to disturb Miaofa, and is also the little brother who often brings some weird gadgets to her.His eyebrows have not changed, but his temper has changed too much.He was much more silent than before.

She finished planing the rice three or two times, put on her windbreaker, got up and went out the door: "You and I can't persuade him, I'll go to the palace to invite that person."

They all said that in the original Xie Ling's disease, no one should respond to what they said, only this Mr. Congshan, regardless of rumors or facts, she can only choose to believe.Because Mr. Congshan is probably the closest person to him besides Miaofa and Huixuan.

Before she took a step, she turned her head and said: "The things you are looking for, there is a mechanism behind the bamboo house, you can open the secret cabinet, and the things are in the secret cabinet. If he... still wants to take it back."

After all, she heard that his life was already dead, so the "life" in this bamboo house is useless.

After saying that, Suizhu left the bamboo house and stayed in front of the tomb for a while, seeing that Xie Ling was still silent, he put on his hood, held a lamp and went to the palace.
