Tang riddles

She walked alone in the night of the desert, the veil on her face couldn't cover the cold night's north wind, and the tiny gravel hit her forehead. The tiny feeling made her feel extremely lonely.

Where is this place?Where am I going?

But the night is as gentle as water, the scenery ahead is not dark and hard to distinguish, the stars are shining overhead, and the moonlight shines on the silver-white road ahead, which is the color of light reflected on the gravel.With one foot deep and one foot shallow, she felt extremely heavy in her body.She still doesn't know the way forward, but she still moves forward fearlessly and never stops.

Ah, the vast desert, I am from the south of Shuize, it is my honor to witness and feel your magnificence in this life.

Going forward like this seems to be endless.Until she saw a huge monster blocking the way in the distance.It was a large weathered stone forest ravine, stretching across the front, with no end in sight on the left and right, towering as high as the tower of Chang'an City.She stood under it and looked up, looking like an ant.If you look closely at the rock walls of the gullies, you can see the folds of the earth's rock faults.The gullies leave narrow gaps between each other, and walking into them is like being in a maze.Among them, the road is tortuous, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction, let alone whether there is danger lurking inside.

She stood at the entrance of a ravine, hesitating, not knowing whether to go in or not.The scene in front of her was inexplicably familiar, and she was thinking hard.There was a sudden pain in her abdomen, she looked down, there was nothing there, as if something was missing.

What is missing?

She thought about it for herself, and finally decided to move forward.No matter what, she has to go through this stone forest and ravine to reach the other shore, no matter what, she still needs to reunite with her lover.She is waiting on the other side, waiting for her return.

She bravely stepped into this huge labyrinth, but just within ten steps, something happened suddenly.Suddenly there was an overwhelming roar behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw that the sky behind her was covered by black feathers all over the sky.It was a group of crows that stretched for hundreds of miles. The black feathers formed dark clouds, like a curtain stretching from east to west, slowly covering the starry sky in the sky, and approaching the maze at an alarming speed.

She froze on the spot, confused and uneasy, not knowing what to do.And obviously, the crisis didn't stop there, just where she came from, a figure in black robe suddenly appeared.Covered from head to toe in the robe, he didn't know where he came from, and he just stood there quietly, with a ferocious Rakshasa ghost covering his face, which was white and frightening, and the bell hanging on the skirt of his clothes made a deadly sound .

Before she could react, the next moment, the man in black appeared in front of her like a flash, as if he had crossed a distance of ten steps in an instant, her throat was suddenly choked by force, her breathing was suddenly suffocated, and she felt as if there was something in her throat. It's like being crushed, and the brain is numb.

"Not good! The fetal position is not correct, and the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck!" It seemed that a voice was speaking, but she couldn't understand it.

There was an unspeakable colic in the lower body, as if a drill had penetrated into the flesh and bone.

No...how could this be, I can't die...she's still waiting for me, she's still waiting for me!

She tried to break away the big pincer-like hand, but her feet were lifted off the ground involuntarily.She felt a burst of wetness in her lower body, and the pain continued to intensify.She wanted to cry out in pain, but her throat was pinched and she couldn't make a sound.

She gave up on breaking away the big iron-like hand, and suddenly reached out to take off his mask. She moved so fast and by surprise that the man in black couldn't dodge, and she grabbed the mask.The mask was torn in half, and she seemed to see the face underneath.However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations, and then the man in black robe suddenly turned into a large black mist and dispersed.

The hand pinching her disappeared suddenly, and she fell to the ground unexpectedly, coughing on the ground in pain. Before her eyes, the black mist transformed by the man in black was rising, gradually turning into several crows.The crow circled around, making a shrill cry, and the black feathers reflected a cold and hard luster like metal.

The crows seemed to have finally noticed her existence, and they swooped towards her with neighing.She struggled to stand up, turned her head and ran into the depths of the maze.The colic in her lower body became more and more severe, and her whole body was drenched in cold sweat.Stumbling and rampaging in the maze, she has no intention or time to identify the direction. She only knows to run hard, and several chasing crows are chasing after her.

It didn't take long for her to lose her strength and could barely run.However, the large group of crows behind her had already reached the edge of the maze, about to cover the sky above her head.

She collapsed to the ground in despair.

"Lotus Maid!" An exclamation suddenly resounded from the sky, she was so frightened that she lost her mind, and looked up, in the vast night, a crimson star was shining.

Who is calling me?Is it her?It was she who was calling me!

"Lotus Maid! Look at me! Don't give up!"

She struggled to stand up, she was there, she was the crimson shining star.She strode forward again and ran towards the shining red star.

The damp feeling on her lower body became more and more serious, she didn't dare to look down, she knew that she had already dragged a lot of bloodstains while running all the way.The red star was shining, and she was running out of breath, not knowing whether she would fall down or suffocate in the next moment, dragging her heavy body with indescribable pain, Running hard.Shuttle through the labyrinth and cross the channel channels formed by countless fault stone rocks.

After the first red star flickered, it settled in the sky, and then she saw the second red star light up not far away, just above her left-hand passage, she seemed to understand it, and immediately turned left, chasing the second red star.

The pain was piercing, she couldn't run anymore, and a group of crows came over her head, about to cover her red star.

Do not!no!

Suddenly, she felt a mysterious force from her waist, supporting her, her body seemed to relax a bit, she didn't dare to stay, so she could only continue to run in the direction pointed by the red star.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Until the sixth red star lit up, she didn't know how long she had been running, and she was extremely tired all over.The crows were about to cover the sky, and she lost the position of the sixth star.

She stopped and stood in the maze, bewildered and helpless.The pain had turned into numbness, and she was in so much pain that she was about to lose consciousness.

"Ah!!!" She screamed in despair, dragging her hair and wandering around like a trapped animal.

"Lotus Maid! Lotus Maid! Hold on!" The voice was still trying to call her, persistent and firm over and over again, but it couldn't hide the panic and crying in it, but it gradually drifted away.

Where... Where am I... Where is the exit, where is the return?

"Auntie..." Suddenly a childish voice sounded, she was startled, raised her tearful eyes, she seemed to see a childish figure right in front of her.

"Auntie...help me..." said the child.

"Who are you and why do you call me A Niang?" she asked.

"Because, you are my aunt..." the child said earnestly, "My aunt, my child is so uncomfortable, aunt, please help me..."

"I can't help it..." she cried.

"Ma'am, there is a way. You have seen six red stars, and there is only one more red star. You can get guidance." The child said.

"Six red stars... one more..."

She suddenly raised her head to look at the sky, the Suzaku Qisu in the south...the seventh red star...is at that position!

The next moment, tinnitus struck suddenly, and in front of my eyes, an incomparably gorgeous red light pierced the sky, shattering the sky-covering curtain composed of crows. The red stars complement each other, connecting into a dazzling fiery red phoenix, which spreads its wings and swoops down, coming towards her.

She opened her arms to welcome Luanhuang into her arms.Behind her, eighteen petals of a white lotus bloomed, supporting her into the sky and riding on the back of Luanhuang.Luanhuang spread her wings and soared into the sky with her on her back.

In the east, the morning sun was just rising, the phoenix broke through the sky, and the golden sun shone brightly. She seemed to be melted in that burst of heart-pounding warmth.

In the ear, a loud cry sounded, and the red phoenix under him transformed into a cute villain, and threw himself into her arms, calling her softly and nostalgicly:

"Aunt...Aunt..."

A great sense of happiness surrounded her, and the next moment, she completely lost consciousness.

……

She woke up in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she still felt that her eyelids were sticky.She could distinguish the strong bitter smell of a herbal medicine in her nose, and she frowned.

She tried to move her body, but found that her whole body seemed to be falling apart, and she couldn't move, especially her lower body, which hurt even if she pulled it slightly.

She realized that someone was lying beside her, she tilted her head slightly, and suddenly felt so warm that the heart-throbbing warmth flowed through her whole body.Her red body was lying on the outside of her bed, her eyes were closed, the fundus of her eyes was blue and slightly swollen, probably from being frightened, but she slept very sweetly and peacefully.

And between the two of them, a sleeping baby fell into her eyes.Wrinkled rosy skin, small nose and small mouth are extremely cute, just like her childhood appearance, a pair of eyes still can't be opened, but now you can see some shadows of red silk, the soft fetal hair of the newborn, attracted her involuntarily Stretching out his hand to touch, strand by strand seemed to wrap around the tip of her heart.

Child, my child... She suddenly burst into tears.

Akashi's hand was unconsciously protecting the little guy, probably because she was afraid that she would crush the child if she rolled over, so she carefully lay on the inside, only occupying the edge of the bed.Zhang Ruohan reached out, stroked Chishi's cheek first, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I scared you." Then he overlapped his hand with Chishi's to protect the child together.

She stared at the side face of the child, her mind went blank, the whole process of giving birth was very dangerous, her mind was not very clear all the time, she was in a half-dream and half-awake state, as if she had entered an illusion.But she knew that her child was of the blood of Luanhuang, and she was extremely impressed by the vision in her illusory dream when she was born.

"Huang'er..." The child's baby name should be Huang'er.

She and Akashi have discussed what to name the child more than once, but they have not decided on it.Chishi has almost searched through books such as Songs of Chu, The Book of Songs, etc. Zhang Ruohan himself has thought hard about many names.Although it is beautiful and has a good meaning, it always feels like something is missing.Should children be called those beautiful names?After thinking about it, it is inevitable to feel empty and inappropriate in the end, leaving a sense of far-fetched.

Now that the child is born, Zhang Ruohan has abandoned all the names in her heart, she already has an idea.

Shan: Shanshan is Loulan, where they are now, and the birthplace of their child.The same is good, with the meaning of benevolence and honesty.An: A safe life, this is Zhang Ruohan's greatest wish for this child.

Shen Shan'an, just call it this name, she thought to herself.

"Shan'an, what's the name, maidservant lotus." Zhang Ruohan was watching the child in a daze, when Chishi's slightly hoarse voice sounded in a low voice.

Zhang Ruohan raised her eyes, and found that Chishi had woken up at some point, and was staring at her for a moment, the tenderness in her eyes was about to overflow.The astonishment on Zhang Ruohan's face turned into endless joy and emotion in an instant. She smiled, showing a frightening beauty in her frailty.

Akashi, you are really... There were tears in her eyes.

"You must know the sorcery of spying on people's hearts, and you always know what I'm thinking." She frowned, showing a cute distressed look.

Shen Sui chuckled twice, leaned over and pressed a deep kiss on her forehead.

"You really scared me to death. I thought I was going to lose you... Do you know how dangerous it was then..."

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Ruohan whispered, leaning into her neck.

"You once told me not to say sorry to you, and now I want to answer you like that." Shen Sui said.

"But it's worth the risk, isn't it?" Zhang Ruohan gently stroked the child's immature face, she was sleeping soundly, innocent and cute, "She really looks like you."

"Really, I always think it looks like you, look at this small nose and small mouth, so pretty." Shen Sui laughed.

Zhang Ruohan chuckled: "However, her eyebrows and eyes must be like yours. Look at these phoenix eyes. If they are bigger, they will be like you when you were a child. The eyeballs turn up and look like a small and clever person. When you stare at people, your eyes are as pure as you are. null."

"God, I almost forgot what I looked like when I was a child." Shen Sui sighed with a wry smile.

"But I still remember, I will always remember." Zhang Ruohan said, she raised her head, supported Shen Sui's cheek, and kissed her lips.Shen Sui responded to her affectionately, she felt that everything else was not important, as long as they were by her side, she would have the whole world.

On that day, they became the happiest people in the world.

The author has something to say: Shen Shan'an, after much deliberation, this name is still the best.
