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

The author has something to say: Sorry for the unreliable author!After writing the second volume, it may be because of long sleep and irregular meals, which caused gastritis and a fever for several days, so the progress was delayed.I'm so sorry!Kneel down and kowtow.So let’s write something happy in this chapter? (^?^*)

Thanks to Qihangsang for providing various folk remedies, healed without medicine.And, by the way, you can take a look at whether the short paragraph in Nishinomiya in this chapter is cruel enough, why I don’t feel it when I read it myself, I have to find a way to make it worse. . . .

Probably haven’t started writing for a long time, I feel that the writing is so bad, so bad TAT ran out crying TAT

Ah, yes, yes, there should be a couplet of two palaces when we met on the bridge, but I thought about it last night and I haven’t held it out yet.

In the twilight hall, the only source of light comes from the round totem with complicated and mysterious styles on the wall in the middle.Surrounded by a circle of incomprehensible ancient characters, there are four circular decorations with the same standard and different shapes. They are painted with spirit grass, ghost pupils, bergamot, and three swords, corresponding to the order of the four directions, overlapping each other and arranged. Like a vortex, like a wheel | disk, and even more like a curse with ill intentions.A dark golden glow spread over it, and what was strange was that the circle with three intertwined swords on the left was dim.The heavy curtains on both sides are pulled up, and it looks like a half-closed eye from a distance.Right in front of him, the throne surrounded by sharp swords has been vacant for a long time, and it still glows with unquestionable majesty.

Below him sits a haughty man on the top left seat, because of the dim light, he is wearing dark clothes, he can't tell the shade, just like a big shadow, he said slowly to the people in the hall: "The ice building has fallen, and the ice yuan is also an ancient tomb. The passing smoke is swallowed up, and then it will be the turn of the misfortune, but Mr. Dongjing, you have not even found out the solution to the fog-locked smoke maze outside Yufeng Island. What's the meaning?" Words and phrases came slowly and gradually, no emotion could be heard, in the quiet hall, only the sound of the beads on the man's head flickering lightly could be heard, which made people feel hairy.

A man with an ugly appearance stood at the bottom and replied with a sullen head: "Yan is staring at me too closely. Recently, I have relaxed a little, so I found an excuse to come back. Otherwise, if I have to wait for such an opportunity, I am afraid that I will delay the Holy Spirit." It is a big matter for the judge. As for the formation of Yandu, it is set up according to the time and place. I have no chance to go to Fengdao in person, so I have no way to push the way. I also advise the holy judge not to go rashly: There are only two kinds of people who can successfully cross through on their own, one is a father who wants to find a parent and child, and the other is a businessman who is looking for huge profits-obviously, the Holy Inquisitor does not belong to any of these two kinds of people."

The superior person kept silent, just lowered his head to admire the sharp armor on his right index finger, and the linlin sequins on the deep purple robe swayed into a ball of light spots, hitting the man's peripheral vision like a broken moon in the deep sea at midnight.

The man pressed a weird smile back under his face and continued: "But there are many people who want to find trouble, and there are others who will break the formation for the Holy Inquisitor. Please give me a little more time to plan."

"As you said, the death of the Bing King was the result of the joint efforts of Guling Shiyan and Gong Wuhou. Before that, you had always claimed that the two of them had a deep enmity that was hard to get back, and that there must be a disaster in the near future. Now, no matter how you look at it, it is an old suspicion. The image of ice release, the fisherman's profit promised by Mr. Dongjing, how can you know that it will not become you and me waiting to die?"

"This..." The man was at a loss for words for a moment, "The situation was critical at that time, and in order to protect ourselves, the two of them compromised and used each other. If you say let it go, let it go. I know him too well: no matter how long it has passed, every day when I open my eyes, I will always think of killing the enemy. Naturally, I will also remind Gong Wuhou of this point. At that time, we must It’s two tigers fighting each other, and both lose.”

"... Eternal Kunwu and Nvwa's blood and tears, one yin and one yang, one static and one movement, will be a big problem for us." The superior said sharply, and the voice of killing and cutting was already heard, "Never let the two join forces."

The other party only claimed that he was right, so he withdrew.

After leaving the temple, he returned to his usual proud attitude.

"Tobacco... where is the monolith..."

After taking two steps, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous small pavilion outside the side door of the main hall. There are many books in the pavilion. One person and one case are still written quickly on a volume: Obviously just now None of the conversations escaped this pen.The person who wrote the pen has a square face, indifferent brows, and shimmering eyes, one can tell at a glance that he is aloof and unapproachable.Although she couldn't look good while sitting, the collar was decorated with a circle of white feathers, like clouds and snow, which made the whole person awe-inspiring and imposing, which was beyond words.He hasn't come back for a long time, and he doesn't know where this is sacred. After thinking about it, he finally came forward and bowed: "I'm Xia Dongjing, I don't know your Excellency..."

"Judgement, Qiu Yunshang." The man stopped writing, but he didn't look at him, only lowered his eyes to look at the open volume.

Hearing the name "Prison", he shivered reflexively, said goodbye hastily and left.

In the hall separated by a wall, the dim circle of patterns was carefully traced for a long time with dignified eyes.

This year's adversity is that the solar terms are out of order, but in the middle of June, there is unexpected snow and sleet. When the ears of wheat are early and the mulberry leaves are fat, the hope of the year is gone, causing people to fluctuate and panic.And Nvya, one of the three bodies of the Demon and Buddha who was originally knocked out of the body by the key of the beacon fire and was dying in the pit, was also affected by the mysterious freezing air for no reason. Between the world and the righteous way, there are many right and wrong grievances involved.

The Central Plains Wulin Fang reluctantly retreated from a bloody battle to besiege Bo Xun's evil body. When the soldiers were exhausted, seeing the miserable scene of the people's livelihood, it was extremely disheartening.

"Hey, it's not because someone wants to uphold justice and refuses to take action, so the Four Wonders have been fighting among themselves and dragging down the common people." Amidst the fumes of the furnace, a man in white clothes sat upright and stroked the strings, with Huayin flowing from his fingertips .

The Taoist on the alchemy platform said in a calm tone: "You and I know it well, so why bother to speak out. The four realms must unite for a long time, and the trend of the times will also be the strength we must rely on to fight against the rising forces in the future. If the four realms are still divided by then, just I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve things. For the long-term plan, and for the sake of bearing the brunt of the immediate troubles, it would be cheaper to let them unify themselves."

He was holding a cute boy with blond hair in his arms, and was playing with a wooden kite: "One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, three monks have no water to eat, what do you say, where are the four monks? "

The scholar playing the piano glanced at the boy, waved his plain hand, and simply pushed away the piano table, holding a feather fan and shaking it slowly: "But people who unify the four realms still have a choice, the Xuanming family is upright, Du Wuyu Ruhou , even a woman from the Fengzuo of the Zhanyun Realm is a chivalrous and gentle person..."

The boy tugged on the Taoist's sleeve, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile: "Xiao Yinzi, you see that Wu Mengsheng is so angry, it should be because of his favorite. These three people lost to that sinister uncle, right?"

The Taoist taught him seriously: "Little Four, don't tell me."

Wumengsheng watched the two sang together coolly: "Du Wuyu, are you also planning to sit idly by?"

Yinzi held a faint smile: "Du Wuyu's life and death are taken care of by others. It is more important for us to think about how to solve the immediate crisis. It is better not to provoke Yandu easily. This time they have no time, Next time we don't know what problems will come up to hold us back. Originally, the duty of the three of us is to act in accordance with the times and follow the trend, Sanyu, but you are always worrying about this body, leaving regrets in vain."

Wumengsheng was silent, and then sighed slightly: "I pointed out my monologue to beware of Yandu that day, but I don't want to follow the Tao. I hope Du Wuyu's fate is as you said."

Sizhi Wutong looked at him, then at you, and said with a smile, "You two monks, do you still have water to drink?"

After the battle in Yandu, Nishinomiya Diaoying has been suffering from fever.Since then, Yanxue Kunou has been thanking guests with the excuse of "being seriously ill and needing rest".

This time against the Ice King, the grand master once again conquered Yandu with the posture of blocking thousands of miles of ice with his own body, and his prestige was unprecedentedly high, reaching the pinnacle; In this way, the master's low-key self-control is logically regarded as perseverance and prudence.Thinking that the second of the four wonders has been lost, even though it has been frustrated for a while, the future seems to be brighter and brighter, so Yandu is quite happy and encouraged, and everyone praises Yanlou Hegong Beichen Xinggong and Jiyueguangfeng.

In the afternoon of this day in early July, the sun finally showed a little bit, although it was just a faint mist.

Nishigong Diaoying lay in bed for many days, the great master Qihuang's art is very good, he carefully considered the good medicine, warmed up and relieved fever, and saw immediate results. Even his life's ambitions seemed to be invisible with the heavy sweat. The whole person is weak and weak, sighing in a daze: God knows if a person is sick?

Yanxue Jiuzhong, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly heard a burst of laughter at this moment. Someone ignored the order of the lord to evict guests, swaggered into the courtyard, went straight to the bedroom, put one hand on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Fever That's good, it can make your brain a little bit stupid, so you don't have to think about it all day long."

The master in charge frowned, and then a few figures flashed out of nowhere, without saying a word, he lifted the trespasser and threw him out of the courtyard wall.

Xigong Diaoying didn't think it was enough, she simply got out of bed and put down the bamboo curtain, stood in front of the table and remained silent.The light was cut into thin edges and edges by the bamboo curtains, lying across the table, still faintly glowing with oil.

He lowered his head slightly, and a sandalwood box came into sight with a false cover, and his mind suddenly turned back.

As soon as his Adam's apple moved, he raised his right hand and picked it lightly, and opened the lid, which contained a pair of copper beads.

He can still recite what the great master said when he bestowed the pair of red copper beads:

"Copper is the essence of things. It does not change its integrity for dryness, dampness, cold and heat, or its shape for exposure to wind and rain. It is like the behavior of a gentleman."

After hesitating again and again, thinking of this, he still couldn't help holding the double beads.

He firmly grasped the edge of the table with his left hand, trying to use it for support, but his right hand couldn't use any strength, and it was shaking violently. Just as he took the double beads out of the box, it was already at its limit.The refined goldware, which weighed several kilograms, fell to the ground with a clang, and two grooves were punched out of the polished bluestone ground.

He just murmured wistfully: "Like... a gentleman..."

Two copper beads, one in front and one behind, rolled away far, far away.

The sunlight seeped into the snow and mist, propping up the emptiness of the room with weak light.An unprecedented fear and panic seized him.When a real person's life is like a post, and his life is like a whirlwind, no matter how accustomed and reasonable things are, they will dissipate in an instant.

Then one day, whether it is the master or the queenless, it will be like this, losing them before their eyes.

After standing for a long time, until the sun was setting and his legs were numb, he finally felt the wet coldness on his face.

The sun is thinning on the western mountains, and the rays of the sun are thick and turning purple.The river meanders around the city, and the waves are undulating. It gently pats on the body of the westbound ship, seeming to urge and hold back.

This situation and this scene are just a lot of worries that cannot be carried. There is a river of autumn water waiting for wine to be poured. However, when I am sick, I dare not die, so I can only drink medicine.Xigong Diaoying gazed at the vicissitudes of the twilight field from the porch, stirring the dark concoction in the bowl with a spoon.

Suddenly he saw something, ordered the boat to stop, then dropped the bowl, and went ashore alone.

To him, Yangguan Avenue or ordinary alleys in Yandu are as familiar as his own palm prints.Usually, the masters in charge always drive for a long time, and the flags cover the sky to go abroad and return to their hometown. It is unique to go alone while taking advantage of the curfew like now.It's ridiculous that in the past, he showed his sharpness, ignored those who cried and begged for mercy, and used the sentence "no useless people are left in the smokehouse" to establish the law and decide life and death; but today, he needs to use the dark night as a cover to dare to expose himself Under the dark moon and high wind.

Because those who were treated harshly by him but still willing to do so were all killed by him.

It's all his fault.

After many days, the original chaos has calmed down, but the huge project of clearing the snow on the street has not yet ended. Tantai Wuzhu ordered people to lay a lot of wooden leaves to prevent slipping, and they creaked when they stepped on them, making them not very smooth The ground became tired and the shadows became collapsed and shapeless.He was dragged by this shadow, all the way to a bridge.

It is just an ordinary arch bridge with a trace in the center of the wave, which looks like the first moon rising out of the clouds. It is probably because it is located in the west of the city, and it also takes the meaning of "clear water and flying rainbow", so it is named "Xihong".Xigong Diaoying stood at the bridge and looked at the familiar words on the stone tablet, with silkworm head and ponytail, as if waving a brush with his hands, and wrote it with one stroke. After reading it for so long, he didn't know where to stop.After being at a loss for a long time, he suddenly had a feeling: in his entire life, the only thing he can get from that person is probably this bridge.

He slowly climbed up the stairs, just like the solemnity of holding a sacrificial ceremony in a smoke tower.The layout of the West Hongqiao is not too small. There are a total of 28 arches that are assembled together. When you walk to a high place, you also have the illusion of being independent from the world.

Xigong Diaoying caressed the hibiscus pillar on one side on the top of the bridge, wanting to climb high and fall heavily, flourishing and declining, just like crossing the bridge.

He slowly turned around and wanted to walk down the bridge.

But there was a red shadow in the corner of the eye, which made the heart beat out of control.

Like a leaf of a red maple, borrowed from the west wind, it falls randomly on the water.Fairy clothes, golden jewels, long hair, leisurely and elegant.The most is the spring water that shines on people, so cold.From time to time, air-conditioning enters the bridge, lingering ups and downs, swallowing hard to name, blowing the clothes and sleeves of the two people.

——The so-called Iraqis are on the water side?The emperor descended to Beizhu?Suddenly see at the end of the bridge?The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but the man was in a dimly lit place? ...Nishimiya Diaoying's mind was crowded with countless words, but he couldn't pick out a sentence to express his emotion, and his heart was so full that it was about to overflow.

Zhu Hanzheng was staggering in his sleep when he was woken up by someone. It was someone from Anting's lineage who sent an order saying that the two palaces were traveling and ordered him to accompany him.

Earlier, Master Nishinomiya left the palace suddenly, causing quite a commotion.It is not uncommon for the principal to go out, but this time Nishinomiya has neither reported his whereabouts nor confessed to his subordinates, which is not the usual rigorous style at all.It was night, and the people below still couldn't find him, even the great master was alarmed.A letter was sent to Ruanhong Shizhang, Dan Gong had already changed his clothes and was about to go to bed, but unexpectedly left the palace without saying a word.

But it turned out that it was just a trip, a false alarm.

As a confidant of Dan Gong, Zhu Han received this order, the first thing he thought of was, since it was a trip between the two palaces, what would he do with him as an idler?Then he thought about it again, the masters of the two palaces were not here, and he didn't know the return date, so he would have to be on guard all the time to be summoned by the grand master?Khan came out.

As the representative of the new generation of loyal servants who overwhelmed Mu Xianfeng to win the first place in the annual list of deep love between masters and servants at the Open Pavilion, Zhu Han resolutely chose survival between loyalty and survival.

Because Dan Gong went out empty-handed, the battle on Zhu Han's side was nothing short of trivial: crimson and light red clothes and all kinds of corresponding gold and jade accessories, gardenia oil for combing hair, spices that cannot be separated even for a moment, Poems and books to pass the time, the four treasures of the study for breaking words and making sentences...the boxes are carefully packed full of dowry.Tossing and tossing until early in the morning, in the cold wind like late autumn, the palace people escorted twelve huge camphor wood boxes down the mountain road, and the unsuspecting early risers even mistook it: This is the wedding ceremony of Yanlou. daughter?

By the time Zhu Han caught up with the big ship where the two palaces were located, it was already daylight.Xigong decided to take the water route, all the way to the west, but he didn't say where he was going, and the people below didn't ask much, just went against the current.

Gong Wuhou was a late riser as usual, and when she came out of the room, she saw Xigong Diaoying sitting alone by the window with a lonely face, the soup on the table had already cooled down, but she was still stirring unconsciously, the sound of dripping water constantly.

In the half day since Nishinomiya Diaoying came out, he knew that everything in Yandu was back to normal, so he turned to think about Mr. Dongjing who had been stirring up public opinion before.But this person acts in a secretive way, and his rebellious words have never been published in writing, only relying on street discussions and rumors, so the clues left for him are really limited.The only thing I can think of is that the so-called Dongjing, that is, Jingsu in the Suzaku Seven Stars, its Kyushu corresponds to Qin in the Warring States Period, which is later Yongzhou, which is located in the western frontier, so I just gave it a try Mentality westbound.

Speaking of Yongzhou, it reminded him of the poem: "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows, the spring breeze does not pass through the Yumen Pass."

"Young Master Xigong, why are you also reciting "Liangzhou Ci"?" Gong Wuhou sat down opposite him, stretched out his hand to take the celadon bowl for his medicine, and slowly twirled it in his hand, "Xigong can be said to be smoked. The most proud person under the Grand Master Du, but he also felt the sigh of Longyang weeping fish, and the sorrow of Banji wearing a fan, wouldn't it force those people with bad luck to fall into the ring?"

Nishinomiya Diaoying's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Gong Wuhou didn't even look at him, but concentrated on studying the fine lines on the celadon, and said in a low voice: "Great Grandmaster singled out 'Frozen Thousand Miles', although it was a dangerous move, but now it is popular, The previous rumors were not broken, it is really not a good deal. Besides, the Grand Master never held you accountable for the war in Binglou, not even a serious word, you really don’t need to blame yourself for this .”

Nishinomiya Diaoying didn't want him to be so sharp and direct, and to get straight to the point, such soft words of persuasion made him unable to resist.With a long sigh, his words were full of loneliness: "If the master is still in the mood to speak harshly, it proves that the disciple still has something to teach; I'm afraid it's extremely disappointing, so don't bother to talk anymore."

Gong Wuhou felt sour when he heard his words, and felt sad and sad.White steam began to float in the porcelain bowl, which was soft to the touch, and after a while, blisters rolled up again, and a bitter smell made him frown.He pushed the porcelain bowl to Xigong Diaoying again, and said casually: "Nishimiya must have seen that I was scolded by the great master every day, so he deliberately said such words to explain."

Nishinomiya Diaoying supported the porcelain bowl, and a warm feeling flowed from the palm of her hand to her whole body.Then he raised his eyes and smiled, "Junior Brother... Thank you. I didn't expect you to say these things to me."

Gong Wuhou just lowered her head and casually straightened her clothes: "It's West Palace who is busy with business, so why don't you have time to listen to my nonsense."

Zhu Han, who was coming into the cabin, heard these words without end, and thought to himself: Young master, Master Nishinomiya guarantees to visit us three times a day, but you ignore it?

Just like when he was in the palace, he reported to Xigong Diaoying in detail about the daily life and food on board today.Nishinomiya Diaoying listened while taking medicine.

Gong Wuhou listened to the two of them interacting and answering each other in detail. At best, it was thoughtful, at worst, they were mother-in-law. It was really boring, so she looked out the window. "I didn't take a closer look at that bridge last night. Looking at it now, the long bridge is arched together. On the night of the fifteenth day, there must be a scene of cave shadows holding the moon and stars competing for brilliance. You can take a look."

After hearing this, Zhu Han laughed and said, "That's the West Hong Bridge, don't you remember it? You ordered it to be built when you acted in charge last time. The people on the south bank have wanted to build this bridge for a long time, but it seems that the project has been cumbersome I was excused by the officials, but the son was really impatient to see the long memorial written by them that day, so with a wave of the ink pen, it was built."

Gong Wuhou has no impression at all, and Zhu Han's curiosity is aroused by Zhu Han's words.I tried to look back again, but the river flowed, and the rows of houses and trees blocked my sight, so I couldn't see it anymore.
