[Sword Three] In the days when I was forced to become Wanhua

The candlelight was bright, even though the gauze hanging around the pavilion in the lake fluttered wantonly in the wind, the candlelight did not flicker at all.

The bright red tube top of the pipa beauty looks redder and more eye-catching under her golden glistening gauze.The beauty with black hair and red lips, snow-skinned and golden clothes, is indescribably touching.

"A lady's fairy voice." Su Qian replied with a slight smile.

"That's absurd." The beauty on the pipa smiled and said, "Please sit down, gentleman."

Su Qian sat down calmly, never expected to sit down, the pipa beauty was about to say something with a smile on her face, but suddenly raised her hand and the scholar next to her stood there blankly, still maintaining the look she was about to say just now, Eyes glazed over.Immediately afterwards, the pipa beauty fell softly into Su Qian's arms.

"This lady..." Su Qian looked aggrieved, oh my god, to be honest, how dare he stretch out his paws to pick it up!

She didn't mind whether Su Qian picked her up or not. A pair of jade arms hung around Su Qian's neck, leaning against Su Qian's arms, looking up pretty.The exhaled breath brushed against Su Qian's ears, bringing a burst of subtle aroma. Su Qian, who was a medical student, couldn't tell what kind of spices the aroma was mixed with for a while.

After all, Su Qian is a martial artist, with strong qi and blood, and the vigorous blood qi circulates in the limbs. The beauty pulled Su Qian's neck closer, and keenly smelled the vitality full of blood qi.

Su Qian's voice came from above the beauty's head: "My lady, please be careful." After finishing speaking, Su Qian gently pushed her away skillfully, drew a folding fan from her sleeve and opened it, fanning herself. .

After some entanglement just now, his clothes parted a little, revealing a touch of white and moist skin inside, which was more conspicuous against the dark undershirt.

"It's my concubine who lost her composure." Beauty Pipa smiled apologetically.She stood up straight and bowed slightly, holding the arm of her right hand with her left hand, looking very weak. "If a gentleman does not give up, he will listen to the concubine again."

"Please." Su Qian raised her hand in agreement.

At this time, the scholar came back to his senses, rubbed his brows, and seemed a little dizzy.He seemed to realize that he was distracted just now, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's a great honor."

The beauty of the pipa sang faintly, the dancer entered the arena lightly, a water red sleeve brushed past Su Qian, Su Qian looked up, but it was a woman with slender eyebrows and long eyes among the dancers who threw a Pretty winks.

The scholar sat on Su Qian's side and cupped his hands in a salute: "Xiaosheng is polite."

Su Qian nodded casually.

In the pavilion in the lake, there is a curved water cup, which is made by ancient methods. It became popular a hundred years ago, but it is rare now. Su Qian also saw someone set it up in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.Qushui Liucup refers to setting up a circulating water source somewhere, on the surface of the water, trays or other light objects can be placed to place fruit and wine, and guests can take it at will, and take it at will.

Su Qian casually took out a wine glass from it. The wine in the glass was green in color, and when she shook it, the candlelight around her was crushed and melted into it.Such a good wine, but he didn't know if he could drink it. This place is so weird, it's better not to drink anything. Thinking about it, he couldn't help feeling that it was a pity.

"Good song...good dance..." Seeing that Su Qian didn't return the salute, the scholar didn't get angry, and murmured to himself.He fixed his eyes on the graceful dancing girls in the arena, looking quite lewd. "There is such a beautiful woman in the mountains..." Speaking of this, he glanced sideways at Su Qian, who had a faint look, and said disdainfully: "There are people who don't fall in love with this, and they are not gentlemen! They are not gentlemen!"

"A fair lady is naturally a gentleman." Su Qian turned her face back, "Although a beauty is good, I wonder if there is a marriage?"

The scholar said with difficulty concealing his complacency: "This is my wife who has never been married."

"So that's how you are, you have great blessings." Su Qian thought it was a bit funny, and this scholar was also a bit funny, her own wife, she wanted to be praised by others, and others fell in love with his wife. Generally speaking, shouldn't she hide it well? what?Shouldn't he wish that such a beauty can be enjoyed by himself?

For example, in my own village, Mudan's group of women wished to hide themselves from others every day, but when they heard that they were going to the front yard, they looked like the sky was about to collapse, for fear that he would suffer a disadvantage outside. , as if to be looked at by others is to be taken advantage of.

Su Qian listened to a piece of music, thought for a while, and said, "Since the marriage contract between you and him has been made, I would take the liberty to ask, do you know where his fairyland is? Who are his parents? Who is his surname? Who is your family? Have parents or relatives?"

Su Qian paused, and said softly: "There is such a special color in the mountains and fields. If you have no parents, you will have relatives and clans in the afternoon, and you will be either a fairy or a demon. What do you think?"

The scholar was still thinking about how to get rid of Su Qian's idea of ​​people as monsters. Su Qian continued: "I am a guest from Chang'an. I passed by Qutang Gorge, where I was so happy. I came here for a night tour. Why did you come here?"

"Xiaosheng Zhoukuang, Ziziyou, Yangzhou people, parents are here..." The scholar was dumbfounded, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't remember why he was in this cave, and he couldn't remember his fiancée Parents with the surname, suddenly felt that their headaches were splitting, and the world was spinning.The sound of the pipa stopped suddenly, and the beauty on the pipa said unhappily, "Why are you so aggressive?"

The beauty of the pipa slid her fingers heavily on the pipa, making a piercing sound of golden swords. The dancers around knelt down and shivered, and the beauty of the pipa sternly said: "The concubine and Zhou Sheng are in love with each other. The phoenix begs the phoenix for my concubine! This concubine kindly sheltered you from the storm all night, why are you so aggressive? Disturbing the peace of my husband and wife!"

"Feng Qiuhuang?" Su Qian frowned, "Feng Qiuhuang" is a song for Wen Jun Xiangru to show his love. Throughout the ages, a song of "Feng Qiuhuang" has been a song between men and women to express their hearts. If the two love each other happily, once this song is played, it means that the heaven and the earth are clear, and there are no parents or relatives to make decisions, which is equivalent to being a good husband and wife.If Zhou Sheng really played Feng Qiuhuang to this woman who didn't know whether she was a human or a demon, judging from the situation of the two of them, they were a married couple who had passed the world, so how could he interrupt.He said sternly, "It's someone who is being abrupt."

In an instant, singing and dancing started again.Zhou Sheng looked at Su Qian as if nothing happened, as if Su Qian had never asked him those questions, the scholar said helplessly, "How beautiful is the scenery where Jun Shenyou is?"

Su Qian stretched out her hands and rubbed her brows. Looking sideways, the beauty of the pipa seemed to have never stopped, and she never said anything to him. The dancer stretched her sleeves, and the water-red silk brushed past him, bringing a burst of Fragrance.

Suddenly, a piece of jade beads hanging from the curtain collided with each other, making a tinkling sound, and another person came in under the moonlight.

But he is a Taoist priest.

A Taoist priest wearing a seven-star crown, a Tai Chi robe, and a mahogany sword behind his back.Holding a lantern in his hand, the Taoist walked in with a calm expression.

Su Qian couldn't help laughing suddenly, Lanruo Temple (ancient house in the field), Xiaoqian (little carp), grandma (beautiful pipa), Ning Caichen (scholar), and Yan Chixia (Taoist priest) are all there, so I don't know he is here What kind of role is playing here... the Montenegrin old demon?

Conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't like the carp spirit in that pond.

Completely forgetting that just now, Su Qianda, who was admiring and admiring others in every possible way and thinking that it would be best to get one back to raise, was not guilty at all.

The singing and dancing continued, and the Taoist sat down on his own, looking around blankly.His seemingly substantive eyes swept over the faces of Su Qian, Zhou Sheng, the beauty on the pipa, and the girls on the dance floor one by one, making people feel uncomfortable. Su Qian even saw a dancer who almost lost her dance steps because she was glanced at. It's a mess, it's really a mouse seeing a cat, the heart is flustered, and the steps are also flustered.

One song after another.The pipa beauty Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but the Taoist said with a blank face: "It's getting late today, after drinking for three rounds, the night is dark and the dew is heavy, let's rest."

After finishing speaking, he took out a wine glass from the curved water cup in front of him, and the Taoist priest poured the clear green wine on the ground, and poured three glasses in a row.

Su Qian's face froze, and the green wine actually emitted turbid smoke when it fell to the ground. Looking at the ground, three big holes had been broken in the carpet laid above.

Immediately afterwards, a chill ran up the spine from the younger generation, and a thick white mist appeared in front of Su Qian's eyes. He stood up somewhat staggeringly, but saw a hand stretched out from the white mist.

The Taoist was holding a lantern, but it was so bright in the white mist.The Taoist grabbed Su Qian's wrist with one hand and said calmly, "Follow me."

Su Qian was almost dragged away.

I don't know how long I walked, maybe it was very long, maybe it was very short, there was fog everywhere.

"Here we are." The Taoist priest stopped and handed the lantern to Su Qian.

Then he told Su Qian a story.

Ten years ago, there was a wealthy family with a daughter named Lingniang.In the thirteenth year of Lingniang's year, she was a well-known beauty. She was betrothed to the son of a scholar in the same village since she was a child.

It's a pity that the sky is not what you want, the most tacky routine.Not long after the two got married, they were very affectionate. The son of a scholar had been in dual positions all the way. A high-ranking official in the court gave him a daughter and wanted to marry him. The son of a scholar was not a heartless person, but he was also a passionate person. Lingniang, however, exchanged heartfelt promises with the official daughter.Somehow, he persuaded the high-ranking official, and then married the high-ranking official's daughter as a flat wife, and the two wives lived together, so romantic and happy.

Lingniang is beautiful, and Gao Hua, the daughter of an official family. One is the wife of childhood sweethearts, and the other is the daughter of a confidante and a high-ranking official. Gradually, the balance is tilted.One day, Lingniang waited until the day when she would take his wife as a concubine.Lingniang was born in a wealthy family, but she couldn't compare to the daughter of a high-ranking official. Lingniang's children all died strangely, and Lingniang gradually became hostile to her husband. Later, Lingniang was expelled to her hometown, Qutangxia Gushanji, and died in depression.

Afterwards, Lingniang stayed here all the time.

until now.

"The story is over." The Taoist priest took the lantern from Su Qian and gave Su Qian a gentle push. "You should wake up too."

Su Qian trembled, his eyes darkened, and the river wind blew past, picking up his robe.

The sky is gray, and I'm afraid it's going to rain.

Su Qian opened her eyes and looked at the sky, the first thing she thought of was this.

He found that he was sitting against the cliff, and when he looked carefully, he was sitting on a hanging coffin. The coffin was old, and it might have been a hundred years old.He narrowed his eyes and stood up.Following Su Qian's movements, a part of the coffin shattered, and something slipped out of it in the darkness.With sharp eyes, Su Qian quickly reached out to grab the thing, and took a closer look, it was a pipa.

A fine pipa, dark green all over, painted with gold patterns.

There is a line engraved on the back of the pipa: Gather the golden wind with your fingers, and catch the rain with your sleeves.

The Taoist said that Lingniang's pipa is a masterpiece, and there is a nephew in her natal family who has learned everything from her.

Later, after several twists and turns, Su Qian handed over the pipa to Lingniang's nephew. Her nephew was lost in the Liyuan due to world events. The middle suet chalcedony pendant was taken over and tied on the pipa with his own hands, praising him for "holding the golden wind between his fingers, and absorbing the rapid rain with his sleeves".

Later, this pipa was called 'Golden Wind and Rain'.
