The song of the new female concubine is full of peach blossoms

On the way back to Beijing, Tianxiang woke up intermittently.

Every time Tianxiang opened her eyes, Feng Suzhen was sitting beside her, no matter in the carriage or in the inn, she was always dressed in light white clothes, holding a book in her hand, watching peacefully.Tianxiang was fascinated by the appearance of years without dispute, as if she was admiring the scroll in the hands of a famous teacher, she couldn't bear to look away.

Feng Suzhen, who is strong in martial arts, could feel the small movements immediately. She sat down gently beside Tianxiang and asked her in a low voice if she wanted to drink water or eat some food.

Tianxiang was awake for a short time, and she might fall into a coma as soon as she took a sip of water, and sometimes her eyes were closed while the food was still in her mouth.At this time, Feng Suzhen would gently put Tianxiang back on the soft bed, skillfully cleaned out the unswallowed food, and washed Tianxiang's face with a clean veil.

Feng Suzhen's calmness was as usual, which made Dongfang Sheng afraid to pester her.When it was too boring, he would get into his father's carriage, chat with the increasingly emaciated man, and ask him if he had never loved his mother, and he had made himself feel guilty for his father, and sent him to Beijing stand trial.

After reaching an agreement with Guan Tang brothers and sisters, although the acupoints of the two of them have not been unsealed, their freedom is no longer restricted. Occasionally, they will get out of the car in the suburbs to get some air and stretch their limbs.

The team moved neither fast nor slow. When passing by Miaozhou, Feng Suzhen gave an order to stay in Miaozhou for a day and take a rest.

"Feng Shaomin, there is only one day left to go, and we are still stopping in Miaozhou. If the emperor finds out, he will punish us!" Dongfang Sheng objected violently.

"Brother Dongfang, I still have something urgent to resolve here. If you are afraid of being troubled by me, you can take everyone back to Beijing first, and I will meet you at a later date."

Who can lose their temper with such a sincere face?Dongfang Sheng endured and forbeared, turned around angrily and made arrangements. On the last day, he worked hard to send all the prisoners to the emperor in their entirety.

Feng Suzhen thanked Dongfang Shenglang loudly, took her own carriage, and drove Tianxiang who was sleeping to the lake where she met her master for the first time.

The master's identity is mysterious, and he has the ability to reach the heavens. Besides, he had an agreement with the master to meet him. He took Tianxiang with him, so he could ask the master to take a closer look for Tianxiang. Maybe he could find other cures.Feng Suzhen was thinking while driving the carriage, it's just that the master's face has deteriorated for some reason. According to Feng Suzhen's calculation, the master should be over half a hundred years old, and it is definitely not like an octogenarian.

I rushed to the lakeside where the water grass was half a person high, and the sun was just hanging above my head.Feng Suzhen got out of the carriage, and when she was thinking about how to contact Master, she saw a gray-haired old man in a ragged cloth, curled up under a leafy willow tree, with his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't know if he was sleeping soundly.

Feng Suzhen's heartbeat quickened, and she stepped up to the old man with two quick steps. She lifted up her clothes and knelt down under the old man, without making a sound to disturb the old man's rest.

The old man seemed to have sensed it, and opened his eyes tremblingly. It took some time for the cloudy eyes to see who was in front of him. His dry and hoarse voice was like a blunt knife being ground on a stone. It was so unpleasant that people wanted to cover their ears. "Su'er..." A few simple words seemed to exhaust the old man's energy.

"Master, it's Su'er, it's Su'er, Su'er is late." Feng Suzhen's nose was sour, her eyes were red, and she was on the verge of tears.

The old man smiled reassuringly and said, "It's good if you come, it's good if you come."

"Master..."

"Did you bring someone here?" Although the old man didn't move an inch, she seemed to know everything in the world. She just glanced at the carriage not far away, and knew who else was inside.

Feng Suzhen hurried back to the car and hugged Tianxiang carefully, let Tianxiang's head rest on her knees, and then said to the old man in front of her: "I beg Master to forgive Su'er for not telling. It's just the princess's illness, and Su'er can't do anything about it." , the Mizhu flower is now known to be in the Liju Zhenbao Pavilion, but the far water cannot save the near fire, so please ask the master to save the princess."

The old man drooped his eyelids, glanced at Tianxiang with a rosy face, and sighed softly: "My medicine can still wake up the princess once, if there is no magic flower as a medicine, the next time the princess faints, she will never wake up again." coming."

Hearing that, Feng Suzhen clasped her hands tightly, and she made up her mind that she would use any means to hand over Lijuhua!

"Compared to the princess, Su'er, did you not take the medicine according to the prescription given by your teacher?"

Feng Suzhen lowered her head in shame, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Master, Su'er has too many affairs on her body, and I don't have time to take the medicine according to the prescription."

The old man did not accuse, but asked: "Su'er, do you remember the first time that the princess was made unconscious, what happened?"

Feng Suzhen recalled that she left the examination room after the exam, but did not see the expected person, but heard the frightening rumors in the restaurant, so she nodded. The first time she was so upset, her memory was still fresh.

"Do you remember that hexagram?"

"'The dove occupies the magpie's nest and the magpie does not return, and the half-smoke and half-rain jade is returned. The sky is full of yin and yang, and the origin of the magpie can't be discussed.'" Feng Suzhen read quickly, and she knew everything about Tianxiang. Remember clearly.

"Su'er, the first half of this hexagram is about the princess, but the second half is about you."

"What? Isn't this hexagram a rumor created by the national teacher to separate the princess and the prince?" Feng Suzhen's eyes widened in disbelief. She always thought it was a conspiracy by the national teacher to frame the princess and want to imitate Queen Zetian. Let the prince compete with Tianxiang.

The old man half-closed his eyes, and leaned against the rough tree trunk to recall: "This hexagram is true. The first head of the Yuxian Gang was my uncle, who was expelled from the sect because of his evil intentions. With the support, the Yuxian Gang was established. It’s just that there is always a cause and effect in the world. Those who do many unrighteous actions will surely die. Later, it was passed to the hands of the national teacher, and nine out of ten of my immortal arts have survived. Therefore, the previous national teacher has no great ability Otherwise, the country will be lost in his hands."

"Past life?" Feng Suzhen sensitively grasped this key word and asked suspiciously.

"Su'er, as a teacher, you can't reveal too many secrets. Many things have to be discovered slowly by yourself. The time to be a teacher is running out. I will send students, no matter where they are, as long as they are still recorded in the book, they will die when they are about to die. I will definitely go back to my sect and be buried. Therefore, meeting you today is also to bid farewell to you."

"Master! Su'er..." Feng Suzhen had too many questions about this master whom she rarely saw a few times a year, but she couldn't ask them one by one, she mumbled her lips, wondering if it was the pain of parting.

"Su'er, because of your mother, my teacher accepted you as an apprentice, but I stayed with you less often, and I didn't fulfill the responsibility of a master. Here is what I have learned all my life. After my teacher is gone, what do you want?" Take good care of yourself." The old man slowly took out a thread-bound yellow book from his pocket, and handed it to Feng Suzhen.

Feng Suzhen took it with both hands, because she still had the fragrance of heaven in her arms, she couldn't kowtow to thank her, she could only thank her again and again with trembling voices.

"Su'er, I have one more request as a teacher."

"Master, please tell me, Su'er will do her best to do it for Master."

"My body will go to the teacher's door uncontrollably, but I hope you can bury a lock of my hair in your mother's tomb. I have failed to protect her in two lifetimes, and I can only hope that I can have a relationship with her again." With a little involvement, we can find each other in the next life."

"Master, you and my mother..."

"With you and the princess."

Feng Suzhen stared blankly at the calm old man, unable to connect the gentle and virtuous mother in her memory with the master who was decaying like a withered leaf in front of her eyes, and for a moment she didn't realize that the master knew about her infidelity with the princess.

"Your father, Feng Shaoqing, should know about it, but I have known your mother before, so even if he feels unhappy, there is nothing he can do. This is what he owes us."

"Master, I, I don't understand..."

"The grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with you. Your mother died young, and you will die as a teacher. Only Feng Shaoqing survived. I don't know who God is punishing."

"Master, is your rapid aging also due to your mother?" Feng Suzhen asked suddenly.

"Have you seen the five guardians of the national teacher?"

"I have seen."

"Are they also aging like teachers?"

Feng Suzhen thought about it carefully, then nodded slowly.

"The reason for our aging is the same. It's just that the teacher borrowed their luck to remember the past life, but they forgot everything."

"Master," Feng Suzhen felt that the "past life" in Master's mouth is very important, it may be the origin of everything, "Can you talk more about the 'past life' with Su'er?"

The old man raised his eyes to look at the dazzling sun in the sky, and said to himself: "It's already noon, the heavenly soldiers change their shifts, the golden crow covers their eyes, and there is still half a stick of incense time."

Feng Suzhen knew that it was Master who wanted to reveal the secret to herself, so she leaned forward quickly so as not to miss any important words.

The old man took out a silver needle glowing with cold light from his sleeve, pierced it into his temple, lifted his spirits, and said: "The princess in the previous life fell into the Yuqing Lake and died. You are heartbroken and come to find your teacher to help you." At this time, Master learned that the Yuxian Gang was hunted down by the emperor, and the five guardians were desperate. He wanted to use the incomplete secret technique to revive the national master. So the teacher used the magic circle of the five guardians and borrowed the five elements of the five of them. Luck, open up time, and make the princess reborn."

"Tianxiang... reborn?" Feng Suzhen looked at the old man with disbelief as if listening to an Arabian Nights tale.

The old man glanced at the sun, did not answer Feng Suzhen, and continued: "It's just that reversing time is fighting against the sky. In addition to the five guardians, one person's blood is needed. After you learned about it, you donated your whole body of blood without hesitation. You can only go all out, and you will not die for the princess in vain."

"Tianxiang, do you remember everything from your previous life?" Feng Suzhen didn't care about her previous life and was willing to die for Tianxiang, because in her opinion, it was a matter of course.

"Aside from being a teacher, the princess should be the only one who remembers her previous life."

"In the previous life, why didn't the princess come with me..."

"Because you and Li Zhaoting have retired to the mountains."

"Zhao Ting?"

"In the previous life, you chose Li Zhaoting in the end and gave up the princess. That's why the princess got drunk and fell into the Yuqing Pool."

"I, I..." Feng Suzhen couldn't believe that she in her previous life would give up Tianxiang, and chose Li Zhaoting, who only had a confidant.

"Liu Qian..."

"To save you, I died."

Feng Suzhen bit her lower lip fiercely, wanting to call herself an asshole, and at the same time wanting to call Li Zhaoting an asshole.Looking at Tianxiang in his arms, he felt more and more guilty and distressed.

"Su'er, because of the princess's resurrection in this life, many things have deviated from the track of her previous life. Even if the princess remembers it, it doesn't matter much, but God still punishes the princess with the loss of a soul. And you, for the princess, changed your life against the heavens and violated the rules of heaven. , I and the five great protectors are aging for three years a day, and what your punishment is, as a teacher, I still have no way of knowing, so you have to be careful of the punishment of heaven."

"Master..."

The old man stretched out his hand to stop Feng Suzhen from asking: "The time has come, Su'er, this life is rare, every step you take, remember to think twice, it is impossible to start life again."

Feng Suzhen was restless, she wanted to ask more questions, but she couldn't ask. After a long silence, she tentatively asked: "When did Tianxiang know my truth in the previous life..."

Before the question was finished, a muffled thunder hit Feng Suzhen's head, and the old man shook his head lightly, telling Feng Suzhen not to ask any more questions.

Feng Suzhen had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart, and asked something else: "When will the princess wake up?"

"How long did it take you to wake up after taking the medicine last time?"

Feng Suzhen replied quickly: "I will help you with gold and wood, about a quarter of an hour."

"This time as before."

After receiving the pills handed over by the old man, Feng Suzhen thought it was better to go back to the capital and feed Tianxiang with the help of dragon energy, and then recall Tianxiang's soul, so as not to be invaded by evil spirits on the way.

"I have wished to be a teacher, so let's go."

"Master!"

"The teacher's hair is in the book given to you, and you must remember to bury it in your mother's tomb."

"Master..." Feng Suzhen placed Tianxiang safely on the soft grass, then knelt respectfully in front of the old man, nibbled three heads meticulously, and when she lifted it up again, her fair forehead was already flushed.

The old man closed his eyes and said softly: "Let's go, I don't want you to see me walking dead."

Feng Suzhen finally couldn't help but shed tears.Even if the person in front of her doesn't have much relationship with her as a mentor, but what she has done for herself is enough to make people feel grateful, but knowing everything, she can't do anything when the old man is dying. This feeling makes Feng Suzhen I deeply feel my own weakness and uselessness.

"Go, don't look back."

Amidst the old man's gradually lowering voice, Feng Suzhen galloped back to the carriage with her back on her back, placed Tianxiang, pulled up the reins, and left the lake with tears in her eyes.

"Wait, Eunuch Wang... Master didn't say how to tell Eunuch Wang..." Feng Suzhen turned her horse sharply, but when she arrived under the willow tree, the old man who seemed to be integrated with the old tree had disappeared.
