There is a hole in the mountain

Lu Heng went away for three months and did not return. Yunyi received a report from his disciples and went out to do errands. Only Yunlan sat in the ghost alley, leading three servants to clean up the mess, and at the same time, to watch over He Xiu, a scourge.

"Do you know the origin of this red lotus seed?" Yun Lan asked, pointing to He Xiu's wrist.

He Xiu thought to himself: "This red lotus seed belongs to my aunt. I want you to tell me the origin."But he didn't say a word, he was sullen and angry.

Yunlan's earnestness in the past few days has been bumped back by He Xiu's lukewarm rebuttal, and he has long been choked with anger.Fortunately, he has a calm temperament and excellent self-cultivation, and for the sake of Yunyi and Hu Meiluo, he barely suppressed his anger.Restraining his temper, he explained: "This red lotus seed bracelet is originally a pair. One string of red is called 'Liansheng Acacia'; the other string of jade white is named 'Silian'. They can communicate with each other. Silk has always been in the master's hand. At hand, last time you were framed by that fierce ghost and surrounded by ground wolves. If Master hadn't sensed that you were in a dangerous place, Junior Brother Yunyi would not have arrived in time."

It turned out that the person who saved me last time was actually him.He Xiu felt hot and guilty, but couldn't say a few words to make amends, so he pretended to be interested and continued to play with the red lotus seeds.But why did Lady Fox bring her to the Chu family?He Xiu thought puzzled.

Yunlan said again: "This 'Liansheng Acacia' was once lost in the mortal world, but fortunately it was obtained by the Chu family. Junior brother Yunyi offered red lotus seeds, got the respect of the master, and accepted him as a disciple. He also gave a golden pill to protect you from the past. Life. But now it is given to you as a gift to protect your life today. This is a great gift, a great fate. Even if you don't miss it, don't let down the kindness that Master has shown you."

He Xiu is well aware of her mistakes, and has long since felt remorse, but she is dissatisfied with Lu Heng's attitude of speaking.Listening to Yunlan's words now, I felt even more ashamed.For a moment, Nuonuo, even his arrogance was extinguished.

Yun Lan shook her head, "Your temper is [-]% like your mother's, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's useless for others to talk too much, Xiulang, you have to take care of yourself." Then he ordered the three servants, and to go out.

As soon as He Xiu looked up, he saw Yun Lan wearing Qing clothes, with nine colors on it, like five-color clouds, wearing landscape sleeves, and wearing a Yuanshi crown.All of them wear the boards, and the teachers and children wear shoes, which is extremely solemn.He felt itchy for a moment, and immediately threw away those emotions, pestered Yunlan, and wanted to follow him out.

Yunlan said softly: "Master, before leaving, Xiulang must stay in the ghost alley before he returns."

He Xiu rolled her eyes and begged in a low voice pretending to pose, "It's just that I'm worried that I will cause trouble. Daoist, please put me in a magic vessel and let me take a look out of the gap."

Sure enough, He Xiu's words came out of his mouth.Yun Lan's heart softened.The three servants didn't dare to open their mouths in front of Yunlan Yunlan, so they could only watch He Xiu jump into the carriage triumphantly, and raised their eyebrows provocatively at them.

The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians, and there are lanterns and festoons everywhere, red and green.In addition to the repainting of the houses and shops, even the trees on both sides of the road were hung with silk flowers.Pedestrians jostle one after another, interspersed with a little flower seller, a little brother who sells lanterns, an uncle who sells tea pot cakes, and so on.Everyone is beaming, and they must say "good luck" or something like that when they meet.

Yunlan sat in the car with her eyes closed and said nothing, playing with a delicate bronze mirror in her hands, her fingers flying.He Xiu snatched the mirror, and on the back of the mirror were four gilt characters - "Tianping Dicheng"

He Xiu suddenly realized, "No wonder the street is so lively, so it's the birthday of the emperor's son."

This Tianpingdicheng Festival takes the meaning of "the earth is flat and its transformation is made, and the sky is formed by its gifts, and the upper and lower levels are suitable".Because it is set on the sixth day of the first month of Guizhou every year, people also call it "Tianqiu Festival".For this day, the Tian family also specially set up a position of "Envoy of Tianping and Dicheng".In addition to collecting gifts and presiding over the rehearsal of all kinds of songs and dances, he also assists the Ministry of Rites in receiving envoys from foreign countries who come to celebrate their birthdays.

One of the responsibilities of Tianping Dicheng Envoy is to order more than [-] bronze mirrors in Jiangdu every year, named "Tianping Dicheng Mirror".The mirror is decorated with patterns of ten thousand animals, which is a homophony of "longevity".Before the Tianping Dicheng Festival, it was distributed to the officials of the fourth rank and above in the court and the elders of the Chengzi generation in the Lianhua Palace.Behind the mirror, there is a poem mentioned today in seal cutting. The whole poem is "The mirror of heaven and earth is cast, and the light produces a hundred alchemy."The generals will bestow the ministers, and they will see the pure heart when they meet the phenomenon.The ice on the stage is clear, and the moon in the window is coming.Even more long ribbons, pay attention to touching. ①'The untitled poem behind the mirror by the priests of the Lotus Palace.

Yun Lan was noncommittal.The emperor was indeed much younger than He Xiu, so it would be okay for He Xiu to call him "children".He only ordered lightly, "I will enter the palace in a while, so don't talk nonsense like that."

Going forward to the Mingchun Gate, the north of the street is the "Wuyi Palace", the former residence of the late emperor and Empress Yang.However, the world calls it "Nannei".The Nannei building is magnificent and occupies a vast area, almost occupying an area of ​​one and a half squares.Since the first emperor and empress Yang passed away, no one lived in this palace.Today, a building was built opposite Wuyi Palace, which is called "Tongqing Building" by the world.Every New Year's Eve, the emperor and empress would go up the tower in person. Fireworks were in full bloom in front of the tower, corners were played, and double swords were danced. Other skilled people threw five swords in the air, danced seven balls, curled giant ropes, and dropped long poles.The so-called "a hundred dramas in the front are chaotic, and the pill sword jumps and throws frost and snow" is exactly what it says.

After entering the palace gate, I found that the palace was more lively than the street.Liyuan has trained more than a hundred dancing horses for the Tianpingdicheng Festival this year.Several young and beautiful people dance with the music, and the dancing horses "strive to the head and drums to meet the festival" with the music, or rotate like flying on the three-layer wooden boards installed, or dance on the horses raised by the Hercules. Jump on the bed.

Officials above the sixth rank in the court were allowed to bring their families into the palace for a banquet. There were men and women, old and young, inside and outside the hall, and the seats were full of people.The empress sat upstairs together, and Yunlan sat next to the empress. On the right hand side were the prince and the princes, princesses, and concubines, and on the left hand side were all the court officials.The foreign envoys sat on the steps opposite the emperor.

Yun Lan couldn't bear He Xiu's pleading, so she had to allow him to wander around.He Xiu had Yunlan's mirror hanging on his body, like a golden waist plate, wandering around in the crowd, watching plays and people, feeling very uncomfortable.

During the interval between singing and dancing, the prince led the princes and princesses to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, then the queen led the concubines, and then Yun Lan presented a golden pill that is said to prolong life. Borderless".He Xiu couldn't bear to listen to those mortals' flattery, so she turned around and left the hall.

Yunlan said in a voice transmission: "Don't go far away." '

He Xiu muttered to express her dissatisfaction, "You treat me as the little lady in someone's boudoir, and you can still be kidnapped." '

Yun Lan said with a smile, "Even though you are not a girl in a boudoir, you are a troublemaker." '

He Xiu pursed her lips, "I'll keep it safe so that I won't offend anyone in the palace." Just at this moment, the dancing horse squatted slightly on its hind legs, holding a wine glass in its mouth to toast the emperor.He Xiu said hello, and forgot what Yun Lan said.

Not far away, there are human beings from Anxi performing swallowing knives, spitting fire, slaughtering people, cutting horses...He Xiu searched around, her two feet were dedicated to standing beside those handsome people, her eyes were only on the faces of those beauties.Little did he know that he had already fallen into the eyes of others.He Xiu turned her head in the crowd, and was facing a pair of smiling eyes behind her upper body.

This man was only thirty years old, and he was wearing a crimson robe.The so-called "gentlemen go to the end, wear clothes and embroider clothes", is exactly like this.

"Tibetan Guo Xunzhi met Immortal Master He." The man laughed and said, "I never expected to meet Immortal Master in the palace. It's really a good fortune in my life."

He Xiu looked at him coldly.His eyebrows and eyes remain the same, but his demeanor is different from before. He was quite surprised for a while, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

He glanced at the whitebait bag on Guo Xunzhi's waist, "I don't know how to address you now?"

"Guo X entered the Guantian Prison three years ago, and the officials did not abandon him, and his ancestors shaded him, so he took the post of Taishi Ling."

Guo Xunzhi said again politely: "Three years ago, after the immortal master sent Zhao Tongzhi to transform into an immortal, he left without saying goodbye. The adults in the family often thought of the immortal master and sighed with tears. A certain also comforted the adults, so-called ' Where can we not meet at the end of the world'. Now it seems that the words come true."

Since Zhao Jiwu and others were devoured by ground wolves, and He Xiu was taken away by Yunyi.Yunyi's explanation to the tidal flat people is that He Xiu Dancheng, Zhao Jiwu and others attained the Tao, and all chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.As for He Xiu's whereabouts, it's nothing more than rhetoric such as fairy trails are vague and should not be prying.Everyone in the Zhao family who harmed them all regretted it. If they had been on the Yundan Mountain back then, they might have gone with the immortals, so they wouldn't have to suffer from this worldly toil.Even Guo Bingzhi, a person with a pure heart and a righteous mind, can't help but lament that his fairy fate is not as good as that of a local ruffian and bully.

Guo Xunzhi glanced at He Xiu's waist, and the sky was like a mirror reflecting the candle lights, shining brightly.He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Guo had imagined countless possibilities of encountering the immortal master, but he didn't expect to be here."

He Xiu couldn't say that he was actually a wild ghost who came in with Yunlan, so he had to respond indiscriminately.Guo Xunzhi didn't ask any further questions, and glanced in the direction of the bustling hall, "Why isn't the immortal master at the banquet?"

He Xiu lied: "The banquet is boring, so I want to see this barbarian's juggling."

Guo Xunzhi said happily: "Someone is also impatient with socializing during the banquet, and just happens to accompany the immortal master around."

He Xiu wanted to deal with him indiscriminately for a while, so he fled away, but unexpectedly his eyes seemed to be glued to his face, He Xiu couldn't hide in front of ordinary people, so he had to follow Guo Xunzhi slowly. Go to the crowded place.
