There is a hole in the mountain

Walking hand in hand, one person and one soul, chatting with each other in the crowd.He Xiu and Guo Xunzhi questioned every member of the Guo family one by one.Guo Xunzhi was very enthusiastic, chattering about old acquaintances in the tidal flat.

Passing another place, a girl with a beard is performing a pole-mounting skill.On the [-]-foot-high pole she is supporting, there are five bowstrings. Five girls, wearing five-color clothes and holding knives and halberds, are performing "Lanling King Entering the Battle" on the high pole bowstrings.He Xiu pretended to bark for a while, then lied that she was bored and wanted to avoid it.

Guo Xunzhi did not doubt that there was him, and said to He Xiu: "Immortal master, why don't you go to the back garden to watch singing and dancing. I heard that this year we have attracted a hundred dancers from the Western Regions, each with tall eyebrows and deep eyes, very charming."

These words fit He Xiu's heart, and immediately urged Guo Xunzhi to go there.Unexpectedly, Guo Xunzhi shook his head and said: "Chuo Jing is in the hall, it's not easy for someone to go far." He only guided the way for He Xiu, "The immortal master just follow the guidance of someone, don't go astray."

He Xiu was only focused on the beauty from the Western Regions, she couldn't listen to anyone else, she waved her hands and walked away in the general direction.

Inside the palace gate in the imperial city, there are five steps to the first floor, and ten steps to a pavilion;According to Guo Xunzhi's guidance, He Xiu walked and stopped all the way, looking at flowers, people and plays, but he never saw those graceful dancers from the Western Regions.Along the way, he stopped a little lady dressed as a palace maid and asked again. The little palace maid was obviously in a hurry and was stopped suddenly with annoyed expression on her face.In a blink of an eye, seeing that the person asking for directions was a handsome gentleman who looked like an exiled fairy, he calmed down and said: "Your Excellency is late, those dancers from the Western Regions have just left the stage, and now they are doing a role play in the garden."

He Xiu had no interest in the bearded man at all.

The maidservant of the little palace laughed again: "Why don't the Taoists go to the hall, I heard that this year the elders of the Lianhua Palace will do the sword dance, which is said to be the first time in a hundred years."

He Xiu's eyes flashed those little Taoist priests who walked silently and expressionlessly, and secretly drew a cross in his heart.She bowed her hands and thanked the maidservant, turned around and walked forward slowly.

The further you go deep into the palace, the fewer people there will be.The palace maids and servants passing by occasionally whispered about the grand occasion in front of the palace, and even the most well-behaved old mother turned a blind eye to the enthusiasm of the young people, only the halberd outside the palace gate The guard stood still.

Relying on the fact that no one was watching, He Xiu randomly wandered around several palaces and pavilions, almost all the buildings were empty, and he went to the front of the palace to watch the excitement.He walked back bored, but found that he had lost his way at some point.He simply jumped onto the city wall, using his hands as a shed, and looked around.As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of feasting, feasting, singing and dancing.Only one building in the northwest corner was dark, and the surroundings were solemn and quiet, which was out of place in this world of joyful songs and laughter.He Xiu subconsciously looked at that place a few more times, and suddenly saw a flash of white light coming in from the outside, and was sucked into it by something unknown.He Xiu thought she was dazzled, so she looked at that place a few more times.This time I was right.A few strands of white light rose from the hustle and bustle, were attracted by the tower, melted into the darkness and disappeared suddenly.

He Xiu was born as a half-demon with superficial knowledge, but he became a lonely wild ghost when he was only a hundred or so years old. He didn't live as a ghost for a long time, so he couldn't see any way in that mysterious place.But he is a restless person, the more he can't see the way, the more he wants to find out.Simply riding the wind, he arrived at the pavilion in an instant.

When I got closer, I realized that the place was not so much a pavilion as a platform.The platform is more than ten feet high, and on each of the eight sides of the platform stands thick and thick black pillars, with monotonous water ripples engraved on the pillars.The algae well above the head is decorated with lotus pictures painted with gold powder.There is a platform in Taichung, which is made of jade. The five elements, eight trigrams and some strange patterns are engraved on the jade platform.He Xiu couldn't understand it, and laughed in her heart: I don't know that it was the wine bag and rice bag who built this four-shaped platform, which is Yin and Yang and the word "卍".But even this little devil couldn't stop him.

He Xiu wandered around, but there was nothing else on the stage, not even an incense burner or candle, so he felt bored.Simply sit on the lotus stone platform and look at the scenery.

Unexpectedly, a slender white hand stretched out from behind He Xiu's ear, as if about to caress He Xiu's cheek.

Everything in the six realms has breath.Except for those dead things that have no aura, people have vulgarity, ghosts have yin, although goblins can take shape, they can't get rid of the smell of animals, fairy houses have fairy aura lingering, even the grass and trees in the mountains are green and hazy. Qi shelter.The man was already close behind him, and He Xiu could even feel his breath puffing heavily on the back of his neck, but he didn't even feel the man's breath.

At the moment when that hand stretched out, hundreds of thoughts flashed through He Xiu's mind.Unexpectedly, the hand barely stopped on He Xiu's cheek, and slowly retracted tremblingly.A voice, a little hoarse and tired, half surprised and happy, "Is that you?"

The surrounding atmosphere fused, and He Xiu was pinned down in Taichung by the powerful atmosphere, and his ears were buzzing.My heart trembled violently, and the throbbing pain was extremely severe.He Xiu closed his eyes and condensed his energy to concentrate his mind.He couldn't move for a while, he simply held his breath and waited quietly.

"is it you?"

There was a hint of anticipation and a hint of apprehension, and He Xiu felt upset when he heard it, but he was too afraid to raise his head due to the overwhelming fear.Seeing He Xiu sitting on the stage with her head down, the man just didn't move and sighed.

After a while, the voice said hesitantly again: "Don't be afraid, and don't leave. Are you okay?" The last two words were filled with a lot of care, and they were said softly and carefully.To He Xiu's ears, it was like steel needles piercing straight into his chest.He clutched his chest and lay down on the jade platform in pain.

A few strands of white light came from outside, brushing He Xiu's face and pouring into the pattern in the platform.It was only this time that He Xiu could see clearly that those patterns were clearly a huge lotus flower.Those white lights entered the stage, merged into one body, swam around around the lotus petals, and gradually merged into the heart of the flower and disappeared.Then another ray of white light melted in.With every trace, the lotus blossom becomes clearer.Suddenly there was a lot of voices in the direction of Tongqing Building. First, all the people shouted "Long live, long live, long live", then firecrackers were fired, fireworks were in full bloom, horses neighed and tigers roared, and the sound of singing, dancing, drums and music was endless.Presumably the celebration reached its climax.He Xiu felt a little relieved, so he was about to raise his head. Suddenly, countless white lights came from outside, and they all fell into the jade platform.

Another strong breath came from behind to suppress He Xiu's heartbeat and pain.The sound of the soul-returning drum that day seemed to be in my ears.He curled up, clenched his teeth, and pressed the painful cock under his tongue.Seeing this, the man coaxed: "So I was negligent. You are weak now, and you can't bear my body." He said in a panic, "Don't be afraid, don't leave. Wait until I change this body. .”

He Xiu felt light all over, presumably it was because the person had lifted the restraints that oppressed him. "I don't dare to ask you to forgive me. I just ask you not to hide from me. Whether you hate me or want to kill me, it's up to you."

This voice is very familiar, but I am not sure, He Xiu's heart is fighting between fear and curiosity.Seeing his figure moving slightly, the man said with a hint of pleading in his tone, "I know you don't want to believe me. You, you have the right to see if my lovesickness is true or not, let me take a look at you. " Then he said with a choked voice: "Just one look...."

The person behind him didn't know what to do.He Xiu only felt the pressure off his body suddenly, he lost his support and rolled down from the jade platform.A person hurriedly supported him from behind and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

He Xiu opened his eyes and met the man's eyes.The two exclaimed at the same time, "It's you."
