The hard winter has finally passed, and the warm spring is shimmering and sunny.

"Brother Qianxuan!"

Someone pushed the door into the quiet small room, and Bai Weihan sat down by the window, bouncing around and holding a small basket.

"Taste it quickly, this is my dad's newly picked grapes!"

The young man Le Zizi put out a plate of grapes with dewdrops on them, chattering non-stop, and his hands were not idle.

Before Yun Zhuo could react on the rattan chair, a peeled sweet fruit was suddenly fed into his mouth.

The sweetness of water and spirit, neither light nor heavy, is just right, as if it also carries the unique fragrance of grass and trees in the garden that is like spring all the year round, it is a clear taste that he has never experienced in Wuling.

"Am I right! These grapes are delicious!"

Xiaotuanzi smiled brightly, wiped the transparent juice on his hands, and then, like a magic trick, took out a bowl of steaming stew from the basket.

Porcelain bowl "Dangling" knocked on the small table, the slightly shaking soup bottom is clear and golden, and the finely sliced ​​noodles are as thin and smooth as snow-white silk cloth, scattered on the stewed soft soup On the diced mutton, a few oily flowers floated to the side of the bowl with green diced green onions, and the hot aroma entered the nostrils.

He handed out the wooden spoon and pouted at Yun Zhuo: "There's this and this, my mother's fried noodles! Eat it while it's hot!"

"Thank you."

Yun Zhuo took the wooden spoon from the child, scooped up a few slices of soup and noodles, and put them into his mouth.

Bai Weihan quickly raised his chin: "How is it? It's delicious!"

Yun Zhuo nodded, and as expected, the little dumpling grinned.

"It's great, the winter is over, and Brother Qianxuan's injuries are healed."

He turned around by himself, leaning on the countertop with one elbow, looking at Yun Zhuo's wrist exposed by holding the bowl with a pair of black eyes, and turned straight.

Under the plain colored cuffs, there are only shallow scars left from the horrific flesh and blood wounds, and even the bloody wound on the back has gradually healed, although it still hurts occasionally on windy and rainy cold nights, But it is no longer as heart-piercing as it was back then.

Yun Zhuo sighed softly: "Yes, after all, even the snow that has accumulated for many months has melted."

The vast plain outside the window was once the same, but when the spring is getting stronger, it is finally planned to be a new green.

But he, who is used to living in Wuling, once thought that the winter snow in Tianshan, an extremely cold place, should never melt in all seasons.

But it was only now that it was discovered that there were patches of vitality hidden under the chill.

When I looked carefully, there was a bright yellow in the area between the ice and snow and the grass and trees.

Black and brown branches, clear petals, although the stamens are sparse, and the stem holders are delicate, they are also stubborn in the vast world.

"It turns out that there are plum blossoms blooming in your Tianshan..."

Yun Zhuo, who was holding a porcelain bowl, stared directly at the other side, and suddenly felt that the color of the flower was too bright, making him unable to open his eyes.

"Huh? You mean Lamei?"

Bai Weihan raised his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yes, that tree has been growing here for several years, and it is buried by heavy snow every winter. Several times, I thought it was dead. But you said It's strange, but when spring comes, the wintersweet can pull out the bones, and I don't know how to live. Maybe this is the so-called "everything changes, and it starts again and again"?"

"It's going round and round, isn't it..."

The words came to his ears, but Yun Zhuo's eyes dimmed.

Yes, everything changes and goes round and round, this is the law of heaven.

When winter goes to spring, the vegetation and creatures that died in the old age can finally re-enter the samsara and get a new life, even the wintersweet sleeping under the frost of the Tianshan Mountains.

"what about me……"

Being stung by the brilliant golden color that bloomed on the bare branches, Yun Zhuo finally murmured and turned his head away.

Lost in martial arts, notorious, disgusted by the world, unable to return home...

Suffering such setbacks, probably his golden plum will sleep forever under the ice, and there will be no day of reappearing its glory.

"Brother Qianxuan?"

Seeing the sad look on the face of the person in front of him, Bai Weihan is a clever child after all. After thinking about it for a while, he shook Yunzhuo's shoulders with concern, and said, "Don't think about it! I heard that the small road to the east of my house The creek has melted ice in the past few days, why don't you come with me to see it! Maybe you can catch fish!"

"……it is good."

Unable to brush off the child's intentions, Yun Zhuo nodded blankly.

The soft green grass is still covered with snow-white Chenshuang, but the stream beside it is already gurgling.

Like flying ribbons, also like a flooded mirror, lightly and gently beating round pebbles, flowing from the middle of the mountain to an unknown distance.

Yun Zhuo stood on the shore with no surprises, the breeze rolled up his snow-white skirt, and fine droplets of water sprinkled on his cheeks.

"Weihan."

Staring at the stream for a long time, he didn't realize that all the beautiful scenery was related to him. He silently whispered to the little dumpling beside him: "I want to eat grapes, the bunch just now in the house..."

"Oh? Okay! Brother Qianxuan, if you don't mention it, I will too!"

Bai Weihan clapped his hands and smiled, without hesitation, turned around and ran towards Guanxueju: "Go get it now, wait for me!"

The little figure from the back jumps away and drifts away, but the young man in white is still standing there in a daze.

I've eaten the grapes, I've tasted the food, and now, except that I haven't taken the child to the Central Plains, all the things in Tianshan are not in vain...

He raised his right hand towards the rushing stream machine.

Dang-

The Wuqi sword knocked on the boulder in the stream, and fell into the turbulent water in an instant, leaving no traces.

Yun Zhuo smiled sadly.

Saber, gone...

At the Lingyun Conference back then, the high-spirited Yun Sanshao seized the sword made of black iron in one fell swoop, so it disappeared so easily...

Then, if Yun Qianxuan, who killed his father and betrayed his teacher, and ended up with nothing in martial arts, would disappear like this, wouldn't it be better?

yes...

Anyway, this person has already been captured and executed by everyone, maybe after his death, many hearsay people will applaud him...

It turned out that it was such a simple thing to fall from the nine heavens to the mortal world, and to be crushed by a hero to become a villain...

"Haha, hahahaha..."

The shimmering light came into his eyes, and he finally laughed alone for no reason, and moved his legs with difficulty, Ren Churong's stream was up to the top of his hair.

The water was very cold, with the coldness left over from winter, which just suited his empty heart.

Regret?hate it?

If he knew the result of today, would he still go to the Yan Palace so fearlessly, strip the bones and change the medicine?

The breath was quickly taken away by the water choking into his lungs, but in the blurred vision, there was an illusion of a person in purple clothes for no reason.

Brother Rin...

Yun Zhuo stretched out his hand towards the shadow of nothingness, his sleeves floated up lightly.

By this time, did I actually see you?

Hundreds of people who have never met each other in the town, the life of their biological father, and the way of a gentleman, the righteousness of the common people, which they haven't read into their heads since childhood...

If you choose, you probably won't be as embarrassed as I am.

He grinned wryly, and a string of bubbles slowly rolled to the surface of the water.

But that's all.

In the world, there is no such thing as regretting and starting over again. This is the end, cause and effect complement each other. When you make a choice, you are destined to do so.

It's a pity that it's my turn to leave without saying goodbye tonight. I'm afraid that you will have to go to Luoyang to see the peony appreciation agreement that has been postponed several times.

"Thousands, brother Qianxuan!?"

At the end of Yun Zhuo's dying consciousness, there was finally a rustling sound on the surface of the stream, as if the young man who came holding grapes loosened his hands and exclaimed.

"Brother, wake up."

When I was conscious again, I still saw the familiar roof, and although my whole body was cold, my clothes were dry.

"I……"

Yun Zhuo moved his lips with difficulty, the soreness and numbness after drowning remained in his nose and throat.

Didn't die in the end?

He raised his head and looked around, with the cleaned Wuqi sword in his hand, the three members of Bai's family stood around the bed, all looking at him worriedly.

"Hey, brother Yunxian! Why are you so overwhelmed with thinking about it, and throw yourself into the water because of martial arts?"

Seeing him wake up, Bai Musheng took the lead in sighing, "If Weihan hadn't been clever enough to call me in time, he would not be able to save him in half a minute."

"Wuuuuuu, daddy, don't, don't talk about brother Qianxuan."

The original eccentric Xiaotuanzi poked his head out, his eyes were red, obviously he had just cried.

He wiped away his tears, and murmured again: "All, it's all my fault. I knew that brother Qianxuan was in a bad mood, and I took him to the stream to relax..."

"Hey, Mr. Yun, although I am a woman, I have some advice. That martial arts is something outside of the body, why do you want to kill yourself?"

Bai Lan, who was holding a hot cloth towel in both hands, also shook her head, and said, "I'm stupid in nature, and when Fang Xi practiced transformation, he was not like one or two of my colleagues. Until the end, I only transformed into such an ordinary appearance, But when I met Mu Sheng, the days passed like this."

"Do not……"

Yun Zhuo struggled to sit up, the dizziness from drowning still persisted.

He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "...I didn't seek death because of martial arts."

"Then why else?"

Bai Weihan pulled up his sleeves, wiped the tears all over his face, and hummed unconvinced: "Brother Qianxuan threw away the sword, and said it wasn't for martial arts?"

Yun Zhuo smiled wryly, and sighed: "No, brother Qianxuan is too self-righteous, he killed his biological father for no reason, and was abandoned by the world. Once he died, it was the result he deserved."

"Brother Xian's words are bad."

Bai Musheng frowned and flicked his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Since you want to die, go back to Wuling that day and let your elder brother's family deal with it. Why bother to come to Tianshan, where I am, and come out like this again?"

The young man's words paused, and Yun Zhuo's figure froze.

"Brother, in your heart, you actually don't want to die."

Seeing his expression moved, Bai Musheng sighed again: "The bad reputation and the good reputation are all said by others. There is also a reason for killing your father and betraying your teacher. Even if people in the world don't understand, if you live, you may one day It's better to be able to justify my name than to be buried under this glacier without a sound..."

"Brother Bai..."

Hearing this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Yun Zhuo's eyes.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head: "How can a cripple without martial arts justify his name..."

"Hey, dear brother... Ever since I picked you up, I knew there would be such a moment..."

As if expecting him to say this, Bai Musheng slowly raised his hand: "Lan'er, take Weihan out."

"Ah."

Bai Lan nodded softly, pulled the sad Bai Weihan and quietly closed the door and left.

"Brother Bai?"

Seeing that the person in front of him was acting mysteriously, Yun Zhuo's sadness subsided a little, and he raised his eyes suspiciously: "Who are you?"

"I have something for you."

Bai Musheng smiled warmly, and took out half a thread-bound scroll from his arms with his right hand.

The cover has been torn off along with the first half of the volume, and the remaining pages are also yellowed with age.The content that can still be discerned is the picture of the mechanism that Yun Zhuo can't understand, and in the few handwritings, it seems that there is something written about "ruling trees as soldiers".

"This is……"

He stared at the scroll in a daze, and murmured: "Is it some kind of martial arts secret book?"

"This is half of "The Essence of Mechanisms."

Bai Musheng said sternly: "From the beginning of the founding of the country, the mechanism master Chen Chen who is as famous as your ancestor, mother-in-law Qingluan Jun and other five heroes."

"Chen Chen? That one-handed master?"

The one who used one enemy to a thousand, changed his fate against the sky, and saved the lives of a whole city in the chaos at the beginning of the founding of the country, is he a master of thousands of tricks?

Thinking back to the few legends about this person that he had heard from his parents, Yun Zhuo was very surprised, and wondered: "This is actually written by him?"

Bai Musheng nodded.

"Brother Bai, why do you have such things?"

Yun Zhuo is unbelievable.

"A gift from an old friend, atonement for sins."

Bai Musheng patted Yunzhuo's shoulder, and said in a flat tone: "You don't need to know where this book comes from. You just need to know that the cultivation of this organ technique has nothing to do with meridian skills. It is enough, so one can be worth one to a hundred... I think, although Lord Sirius has no martial arts, his hands and feet are still healthy, right?"

"Of course."

Those who are named are almost without thinking.

"Then practice and try."

Putting down the booklet, Bai Musheng slowly opened the door and walked out. When he finished, he smiled lightly and said, "I'm waiting for the day when my virtuous brother will be able to recover from the past and become famous in the world."
