[Thunderbolt Tobacco City] Ren Pingsheng, Nine Layers of Smoke and Snow

Suddenly it began to rain.In the afternoon of early summer, there was a slight heat, washed away by the rain, and a confused mist floated in this flat desert.Standing on the Yulong Terrace and looking around, I also feel that the scenery at this moment is so similar to the smoke.

An oil-paper umbrella, after a while, water drops formed a thread and jumped off the umbrella ribs.

The world is vast and quiet, only the raindrops seem to be talking to each other.

The cool water mist blows against the face in the slanting wind.Walking in the winding corridors, you don't worry about getting lost, because the red clothes are so dazzling in the gray sky that you can't ignore them.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, and one could hear Zhu Hong's long sword fringe lightly shaking, the sparkling sound of the inlaid gold and stone colliding, and the reassuring trembling of the tiger-headed bell on the scabbard.The hem of the red dress and the dark jacquard, at this moment, the unbearable cool wind blows on the railing like a powerless one, and scattered all over the ground, like a sunset in the sunset.There was already a thin layer of moisture on Gong Wuhou's face and hair.I don't know if it will be cold in the dream, but the breathing is very even.

Nishinomiya Diaoying moved the umbrella to him and stood up.

When I woke up, the rain hadn't stopped, and I couldn't tell the time.An umbrella is leaning against the wind against the top of the head, and the thin rain threads are woven into a curtain, feeling the deep coolness all around.The originally rich tea smell mixed with a faint scent of bluegrass, moistened thoroughly, but finally became subdued, took a deep breath, and felt in a trance that people were no longer wandering.

Gong Wuhou stretched out her hand to catch the falling raindrops, and said lightly, "Youth blooms to the extreme. It's time for the flowers to bloom, and the dust and smoke have passed, how much do you know?" [Note 1]

The voice is slow and slightly hoarse, just like the loneliness of flowers withering, and like a very thin blade pulling on the heart.Xigong Diaoying heard the words, her mood fluctuated for a while, as if something was stuck in her chest, feeling sad and hesitant, she suddenly responded: "Changle is still young. Remember that Dongping Mountain is here, and the nebula has changed, but never changed." [Note 2]

The tree of Dongping is born to die——Gong Wuhou was shocked: "I just said something casually, how did it attract such an oath from Nishinomiya?"

Xigong Diaoying seemed to be in a daze, and he paused for a moment before realizing: "'Jiu Ke longs to return, only the tree of Dongping.' I just want to go back."

Gong Wuhou stood up, took the sword in her arms, folded her hands in her wide sleeves, and walked in front: "Then go back quickly. If you stay with the people in Binglou, you will freeze to death."

The two slowly returned along the curved corridor one after the other.

"Why is Nishinomiya looking for me?"

Only then did Xigong Diaoying think of the business, so she took out a sapphire pendant from her sleeve: "It's nothing, but I got a piece of jade a few days ago, and seeing the color, I think it suits Zhu Han very well, so I ask you to give it to me."

Gong Wuhou took it over and took a look. The head of water was long, but it was a new material. In the Yandu Palace full of treasures, it was just a stubborn stone that could not be ranked well. "Nishimiya has been a gentleman on the beam for three days, and he is so generous."

"Of course it's not as good as your bloody brother."

Xigong Diaoying did not expect that Empress Gong Wu took his casual conversation seriously. Before leaving Zhu's house, she followed the rules of visitors to give Zhu Han a gift. Since she had nothing else with her, she hung it around her neck. Xueqin, which he had been waiting for for more than ten years, was given to him.It is rumored that the piece of Xueqin is a thousand-year-old blood jade made from the blood of Du Yu, Wangdi of the ancient Shu Kingdom.It was a long time before he entered Yandu, Du Wuyu was grateful for the life-saving grace of the dead smoke in the ancient mausoleum.The ancient mausoleum has always loved jade, and has always cherished it, never showing it to others. Later, he felt sorry for the dangers of practicing in the Wuqing Building when he was young. When he went to visit him, he personally took it out and hung it on his neck. Jade warded off disasters for him.

Then, overnight, this piece of jade worth several cities changed hands.

Gong Wuhou seems to be unaware of the horror series of this incident, and she doesn't even remember where this piece of jade came from. In the faint impression of her youth, it seems that she suffered from high fever for several days, consciousness When I was not clear, suddenly there was a little more coolness in my chest.But during that time of exhaustion and life and death, he had neither the time nor the energy to remember the origin of such an insignificant thing.So that morning, I gave Zhu Han a thank you gift.

But Xigong Diaoying clearly saw Guling Shiyan's eyes when he saw this piece of blood during the banquet. If it turned into a real body, Zhu Han must have been shot through by random arrows and hacked into pieces.

Then the tone suddenly turned cold: "Dan Palace has its own supreme honor and favor in Yandu, but within the palace, there are still rules. If the attendant's clothes are too luxurious, it is arrogance, which is a big taboo."

Gong Wuhou hadn't heard such majestic words from Xigong Diaoying for a long time, her heart beat two beats uncomfortably, but she still said firmly: "Zhu Han is my soft and popular person, and he is not bound by your palace rules."

Xigong Diaoying knew that he couldn't provoke him, so he slowed down his tone to persuade him: "Junior brother has been in Yandu for many years, and he also knows that Yandu has always been in charge of politics. My understanding is that sometimes if you want to protect a person, you have to deliberately ignore him, so that he can avoid the sharp edge, which is a long-term solution."

Gong Wuhou has always been very thoughtful, she really felt that Xigong Diaoying's words were reasonable, while accepting the jade, she was still asking: "Is that piece of red jade really so valuable?"

Although she wanted to return home, but in the early morning of the second day, Princess Binglou came to the door aggressively with a group of armored soldiers.With messy tears and blazing anger in her eyes, the princess strode to Yandu's residence and shouted sharply: "There is no queen in the palace! Give back my imperial brother's life!"

In an instant, icy ice fell and severe frost invaded the house, and the whole Yulongtai was shrouded in icy air, and it was a vast expanse.

Zhu Han ran in from the outside in a panic: "Master! It's not good! That Binglou Zhongwang was suddenly poisoned and fainted, and the people in Binglou are clamoring outside to arrest you!"

Gong Wuhou frowned, half dreaming and half awake, also a little confused for a while, then furious again, got up and wanted to go outside. ——When you are beaten until you have no power to fight back in the martial arts competition, do you just sing such a bitter trick to save face!

Zhu Han hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, you can't go! Master Nishinomiya has specially told you not to go out!"

When Gong Wuhou heard this, she became even more angry, she pushed Zhu Han away and hurried away.

"The princess came here to arrest my apprentice by name, do you have evidence?" Gu Ling Siyan was already standing in front of a group of people who were staring at Binglou, but he still spoke in a leisurely manner.

Shuang Yueke said with red eyes: "All the utensils and food have been checked beforehand, and there are absolutely no omissions! This matter is witnessed by the owner of Yandu and my deputy landlord of Binglou! Why did my imperial brother suddenly get poisoned? Here Outsiders have no way to get involved in Yan Bing's meeting, during which only Gong Wuhou fought against him, must have used some kind of insidious means at that time to kill my emperor's brother!"

Gu Ling Shi Yan sneered coldly: "In that case, it's empty talk?"

"Evidence needs to be found out! I also invite the great master to hand over to someone to confront him face to face, and the truth will naturally come to light!"

"Since the princess has no real evidence, I'm sorry that Guling Shiyan can't agree."

"Grand Master! Are you protecting your weaknesses too clearly?" Shuang Yueyue raised her sleeves angrily, Zhu Lan Hua Dong suddenly turned into a jade masonry carving, and the world was instantly covered with snow.

Guling Shiyan swept his eyes away, raised his hand behind his back lightly, and suddenly Baidai Kunwu burst out of the void, his whole body was black, like a piece of aloe incense, his breath was invisible but clearly powerful Slowly protruding from the suspended sword body, for just a moment, the snow froze, as if the air had been drained, and time stood still.Everyone was so overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure that it was so difficult to even maintain a standing position.

"It's not my fault. Princess, what Gu Ling wants to say at this moment has nothing to do with the exchanges between the two realms, but for the pure dignity of martial arts as my apprentice's teacher." The great master stroked his sword and said slowly, "My apprentice came to my sect at the age of two. There have been more than a dozen cold and heat days, and he has never let go for a single day. Adhere to the heavenly strategy in the red rainbow, and gather the arrogance beyond the front. Yesterday's sword fight with King Zhong was a fair fight, and everyone has seen it. If you do something shameful in order to win a victory, I will disdain it!"

Gong Wuhou hid behind the pillars, listening to the dispute from a distance.

This is probably a joke.

These words can only be said by Guling Shiyan, but nowhere else can I hear them.The person who understands himself best is also the one who hates and treats him like an enemy.

In front of my eyes, scenes of the past that I dare not recall appeared again. At that time, the sky was red, the ground was red, the eyes were red, and the road was walking. Leaving it behind, I can't bear any more points.

Only when my heart gradually becomes cold and hard, I mistakenly think that it is being strong.

However, in an instant, the scar that had already scabbed was cut open by the sharp claws without warning, and the painstaking efforts rushed out like a thousand miles of embankment, as if it was about to burst out of the eye.

The Yandu Dan Palace, under the great favor, is unbearable. It is a protracted humility, and it is a struggle to survive amidst the thorns.But no one knew, no one came to rescue.And when he finally escaped from the predicament and looked at the world, how hypocritical and ironic were the praises of mountains and seas.In all the singing and dancing, the rich ink and heavy colors are carefully embellishing those dark nights and despair, there is only that person, but there is only that person.

He raised his head and breathed rapidly, as if he was about to disappear.

If it's hatred, why can't you put up the effort to seek it out; if it's love...then how embarrassing he has no future.

Shulou Longsu also watched Yan Bing's confrontation not far away, thinking about the pros and cons of intervening at this time.In terms of love, Princess Binglou revived her friend Buddha Sword with a wonderful method before, but she did not repay her great kindness; it is precisely because of love that he is bound to be unable to be neutral. It also means that both Heyan and Yan have formed a bridge, and intervening in the dispute between the two borders is a trouble in any way; more importantly, there is no need for him who is carrying the world of Confucianism. ——Princess, can you find something else to repay my favor?

The great master did not budge.Although Shuang Yueke hated her, she was oppressed by his aura like a sword piercing through the sky, so she no longer dared to act rashly, relying on the arrogance of the royal family to support her.Gong Wuhou felt that she was about to collapse.

In the deadlock, a bright yellow suddenly appeared. "Everyone, please listen to Nishinomiya Kyoukage's words."

The master of Yandu was delayed by something, and it took so long that the grand master was almost impatient before calmly appearing.He bowed to the grand master, then turned around and said to Binglou: "The most important thing now is not to catch the murderer, but to save King Zhong. I learned from the princess that King Zhong was poisoned and his life is on the line. On the front line, in such an urgent moment, it is really inappropriate to put the cart before the horse and waste time."

Shuang Yuyueke was very anxious before, and she had prejudice against Yan early in the morning, and rushed to Xingshi non-stop to question her when something happened, but now she has calmed down after listening to Xigong Diaoying's words.Although she has suppressed the poison of Baili Binghong with the technique of ice crystal and snow soul, it is by no means a long-term solution. At this moment, King Zhong is suffering from heat and poison, with a high fever that cannot go away, and he vomits blood several times.But the antidote... Thinking of this episode, she burst into tears: "If you want to save my emperor brother, naturally you have to ask Gong Wuhou to hand over the antidote!"

"Princess, just now the Grand Master has stated that Yandu Pill Palace will not use such insidious methods. Please be careful with your words. Instead of wasting time entangled with Yandu, Xigong Diaoying has a way to save King Zhong. Xijiang, three hundred miles to the southwest of this place, is the world's poison sect. If you can get rid of Tushan poison, then there is no intractable poison. Now that King Zhong doesn't know when, where, and what poison, this method is the most secure. It's just that , the area of ​​western Xinjiang is shrouded in poisonous smog all the year round, ordinary people go there rashly, I am afraid that they will die before they are invited." Said, Xigong Diaoying glanced at the distance.

When Shulou Longsu heard this, he knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, so he walked towards him slowly, waving his fan: "Leave this matter to Longsu. With my physique, there is no hindrance to coming and going. The poisoning is quite serious." Strange, the murderer chooses to act at this time when the two realms are meeting, or deliberately provokes it. It is still important to detoxify at the moment, Long Su will go now."

Shuang Yueyue regained hope again, and nodded to Long Su with teary eyes.

The two groups of people had been arguing for a long time, and it would be difficult to get together for a while, so they drove their horses back to Luan, and it ended hastily.

Long Su lived up to his entrustment, and after some hard work, he invited Dugudu to visit the ice building in person.

It's a pity that the time has passed, although the poison has been cured, the person has been withered for many days, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials are poured down like water, Baili Binghong still died.

Xigong Diaoying received the Yuhanpo sent by Dugudu from Piaoyin, a commercial pavilion in the Anting Yubu, and immediately wrote a reply letter: "The four realms are places where the earth's energy gathers, especially the place where smoke moistens things. Breathing is the top priority, things will flourish and the people will prosper, and hundreds of herbs will grow, and we will learn from you together.”

The ink was still wet, but the crane pavilion from the Ministry of Commerce came to see him.

Sure enough, Grandmaster summoned.

The author has something to say: Yesterday, I spent a whole night with fellow Taoist nymphomaniac Shizun, and I didn't think about the text carefully, so I sent it first and then tuned it.

The plot required it, and finally sent a bento to Zhong Wang, and mourned in silence. . .

In this paragraph, a fictitious Jade Dragon Terrace was created, because Cao Cao built the Tongque Terrace in order to fight against the Tongque (actually Phoenix), and remembered that the master once recited a sentence "flying 300 million jade dragons", so it was named Yulong. Taiwan XD

[Note 1]: This poem recited by Dan Gong is copied from "Dream of Red Mansions" where the twelve beauties play board games. I forget whose destiny poem it is.

[Note 2]: The couplets in the West Palace were made up by the author (so it is quite frustrating). hometown long.With this poem, Nishinomiya implicitly expresses that he has a heart of ice for his junior and younger brother (he was shot to death by Nishinomiya's copper ball).Cough cough, the author who crawled out from the ground clarified that this is really just Nishinomiya comforting the younger brother, the good times will last forever, don't hurt the spring~~~
