Watch the sea

In another three years, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the world was at peace.

The crimson spring colors of Erfei come as expected, and the mountains and towns are full of begonia red.During the Jiayue Lingshi, the jewel in the palm of the Medicine Sect master celebrated her 16th birthday.

Guihai Yanlan hadn't seen her father for several months. Today, it was her birthday. Guihaiwen Jingyue sent a letter saying that she would return from the imperial capital. Yanlan missed her father very much and waited at the ferry early in the morning.

Meng Chiyi followed her every step of the way like a dog-skin plaster. Ever since Guihai Yanlan took over his Begonia Pearl Flower Golden Buyao three years ago, this Mr. Meng has become a frequent visitor of the Erfei Medicine School, traveling from thousands of miles away. Qianyong City came over, stayed here and then lingered.

Yan Lan's mouth is not forgiving, and Meng Chiyi will be violent every three days, but her heart has long been warmed up, and she acquiesces to the existence of "Little Tail".

They waited for half noon and didn't see anyone, so it wasn't boring. At that time, the town was just in spring, boats came and went at the ferry, people came and drove, and when there was no fog, they could still hear the singing of the flower girl by the bridge. .

They were listening to Jiangnan tunes by the bridge. Yan Lan didn't wait for Guihai Wenjing, but instead waited for Jin Lanzhi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

When Mu Xiyun and Ji Wuju got off the boat, Yan Lan's eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to meet her, and hurriedly took the hand of Mu.

Mu Xiyun wasn't jealous either, she came to Er Fei Qin and told her that she had been practicing martial arts with great concentration in Lishan Mountain in recent years, and the last time Yan Lan saw her was during the Centennial Ceremony of the Er Fei Medicine Sect.Three years passed in a blink of an eye, but the girl was already in the same state at such a young age, leaving her peers far behind.

Yan Lan thought she was thinking too hard, so she left Meng Chiyi aside as soon as they met. The three of them had a heated chat, while Ye Jianwei and Meng Chiyi stared at each other, sitting and waiting.

They waited from dawn to dusk, but Yan Lan never got to see her father.

Seeing that it was time for the dinner party, Yan Lan couldn't hide her disappointment in her heart, she still had the same expression on her face, and she just led them to the Erfei Medicine Sect.

Wu Xie has always been thoughtful and considerate. He could see the disappointment in her eyes early on. He gently squeezed her palm and whispered in her ear: "The uncle will come back. The imperial capital is far away. Delayed."

Yan Lan nodded and forced a smile on her face.

Wenjing Wenjing was not the only one who didn't come today, their other Jinlan friend, Fang Jingci, the eldest lady of Cangwu City, also couldn't come to celebrate Yanlan's birthday in person for some reason.But the people couldn't arrive, but Hou Li arrived at Erfei Medicine Sect as scheduled.

The envoy from Cangwu City in Yunzhou brought over three cartloads of Sangqin wine, which they said was brewed by their young lady Fang Jingci herself.This wine is unique to Cangwu City, and it is a little different from others. Once it is dug out of the soil, it must be drunk quickly, and it will lose its flavor after a long time. Invite fellow students of the Erfei Medicine Sect to taste the handicrafts of Cangwu City.

The spirits were quickly distributed to all the disciples of the Erfei Medicine Sect, and even the old man who guarded the door got a bowl, enjoying the joy of the birthday banquet.

The old man took the bowl with a smile on his face, and the wine entered his tongue, full-bodied and dense, strong enough but not very spicy.After drinking a bowl of wine, the aftertaste is long, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant. The old man smacked his lips unsatisfactorily, and sat back on the chair to look out of the mountain contentedly. Eye.

Many years later, Gui Haiyanlan repeatedly recalled her 16th birthday, the most tragic and important day in her life, but she couldn't remember the detailed pictures of those bloody floating mounds, the clearest thing in the back of her mind, It seemed that there was only the bowl of mellow and sweet Sangqin wine, and Ji Wusu's heart-piercing screams.

Everyone in the Erfei Medicine Sect is immersed in the joy of food and wine, except Mingyuan.He is young and can't drink yet. Seeing everyone else there, tears immediately filled his eyes, and he looked at Yan Lan with grievances. Unfortunately, that was the case, and his elder sister refused to stick a chopstick on him, so she couldn't help but say Shaking his head, he handed him a bowl of custard.

Yan Lan was concerned about her father, and looked in the direction of the mountain gate frequently, but even so, she was forced to drink a few sips by her fellow disciples.Fang Jingci's Sangqin wine was really strong. Although she didn't drink much, she gradually became drunk.

……

Ji Wu complained that she was woken up by Mingyuan's crying. She tried her best to open her eyes and looked out of the window. There was a lonely moon hanging in the sky, the moon was bright and pale, and there seemed to be lanterns faintly under the mountain. The fire flickered on and off in the quiet night, making it extraordinarily dazzling.

The Erfei Medicine Sect, which was very noisy fifteen minutes ago, was completely silent when she woke up, only Mingyuan's cry was very clear in the evening.

Everyone fell on the table, either sitting or lying down, without making any movement—not drunk, but comatose.

An ominous premonition surged in Wu Xi's heart, and the bone-chilling cold climbed up her back. She hurriedly got up, staggered two steps, walked to the front of the main hall and looked down the mountain. Winding fire dragons strung together with bundles of torches surrounded the entire Erfei Medicine Sect, and a large number of people were coming up the mountain from far and near.

She turned around quickly and pushed the people who were lying on the table beside her one by one, but none of them responded.The wine bowl was accidentally knocked off during her actions, and fell off the table and shattered on the floor.

Ji Wusu took a look at the torn pieces of porcelain on the ground, as if someone's heart had fallen into the mud, and the deep affection in that heart was completely shattered in an instant.

There is a problem with the wine in Cangwu City, Yunzhou.

She is not good at drinking, and she only took a sip just now, besides, she is Guiyijing, better than them, even so, she is still dizzy at the moment.

What is strong is not the wine, but the medicine in the wine.

Ji Wujuxi quickly drew his sword and cut a gash in his hand, the sharp pain finally brought some clarity.She gritted her teeth and swiped the long sword across the arms of the people around her one by one. The pain made them wake up suddenly: "Vue?"

The flames at the foot of the mountain were gradually approaching, and they were obviously aimed at the Er Fei Medicine Sect. There was no time to explain carefully, Ji Wusu pushed Ming Yuan into Yan Lan's arms, and pulled Mu Xiyun, his eyes were full of tears. Urgently: "Run!"

Gui Haiyanlan was startled suddenly, frowning for a moment.

Meng Chiyi's pupils shrank suddenly behind him, and his eyes reflected the torches that had reached tens of feet away from the front of the main hall. He reacted quickly, grabbed Yan Lan's hand and ran quickly to the back of the hall.Ye Jianwei tapped Mingyuan's sleeping hole to pick him up, and the group quickly retreated towards the apse.

Gui Haiyanlan finally realized what had happened, turned her head with difficulty, and looked at the front hall through the window. Her eyes widened, and she froze in fear. She had been waiting at the ferry for a whole day. At this moment Finally, his father arrived—Gui Hai Wenjing's shabby clothes were covered with scars and red blood oozing from many wounds. He was dragged into the silent hall with heavy chains on him.

Guihai Yanlan couldn't take another step, Meng Chiyi followed her gaze and glanced at the front hall, and suddenly covered Yanlan's mouth, all the desperate screams she was about to utter were blocked in her throat, Big tears dripped on Meng Chiyi's hands, scalding his heart hard.Yan Lan couldn't help shaking her head, trying her best to break free from his confinement, and desperately stretched out her hand in the direction of Guihai Wenjing.

"Ayan..." Meng Chiyi called her very low with red eyes, but Yan Lan ignored her and took a step towards the front hall.

Meng Chiyi gritted his teeth, knocked her unconscious with a single blow, and ran towards the back door with his back on his shoulder.

The pursuers moved much faster than they expected. They walked along the mountain road, and before they had time to run out of the Erfei Sect's gate, a row of black-clothed warriors had already spotted their tracks and pursued them closely.

"It's too late." Ji Wujuxi drew his sword out of its sheath, and the demure and gentle girl showed a rare look of determination, and turned to face the swarming pursuers: "You go first, I'll finish."

Ye Jianwei stopped suddenly, and made a gesture to hand the sleepy Ming Yuan into Mu Xiyun's arms. Ji Wusu pushed him hastily, and blocked all his unspoken words in his throat: "You all If you can’t stay with me, there will be pursuers ahead, you and Xiyun have to take Ayan Mingyuan and run away. Don’t come back, they can’t kill me, you go to Lishan Mountain to find Master.”

Mu Xiyun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. They walked along the path for an unknown amount of time. Mu Xiyun followed the faint clang of the sword and looked back, but he couldn't find the familiar figure.

The mountain was very quiet, maybe it was God's will, Gui Haiyanlan suddenly woke up on Meng Chiyi's back, she struggled hard, and jumped off his back.Meng Chiyi hurriedly turned around to grab her, but Yan Lan took a step back to avoid her. She glanced at Xiao Mingyuan in Ye Jianwei's arms, and looked back at the sect shrouded in the moonlight. Begonia flowers were still hunting Blooming, she closed her eyes and opened them again, looked at Mu Xiyun, and said in a low voice, "Please take Mingyuan away."

Meng Chiyi instantly realized what Gui Haiyanlan was going to do, and the moment Yanlan turned around, he hurriedly grabbed her wrist: "Ayan can't do it!"

Gui Haiyanlan looked into his eyes, shook her head, desperate but determined: "My father, my fellow disciples are all on the mountain, Meng Chiyi, don't stop me, I will hate you."

Many years later, Meng Chiyi recalled his life. The thing he regretted most in this life was that on the day of Guihai Yanlan's 16th birthday, he didn't make up his mind to hold her hand desperately. nod.
