Deep in the night knowing the snow

The incense burner in the corner of the room burned out, and the last wisp of smoke dissipated in the air.There was a soft "creak" sound from the door, and a gust of cold wind came in. Moonlight came in through the crack of the door, and a layer of silver light fell coldly.

Xie Hanyu left.

Mu Tangfeng's eyes fell on the knife buckle not far away.The nine-tailed fox carved on the buckle of the knife flutters its tail, and the red seals flicker, looking vague and distant, as if covered by a layer of indistinct fog.

There was a burst of pain from being cut by the sharp edge from behind, Mu Tangfeng's figure was unstable, and a dark pinch mark formed on his fair neck.He knelt on the ground, his fingertips trembling slightly, and reached for the buckle of the knife in front of him.

The buckle of the knife rubbed against the ground and made a clear and crisp sound, and it was cold and chilly in the hand.

Mu Tangfeng looked down at the knife buckle in his hand, his eyes gradually blurred, he clenched the knife buckle tightly, his throat choked up, and he blinked to force back the tears.

The nanny told him since he was a child that a man would not cry easily.

He is incompetent, cowardly, doesn't understand anything, dull and boring, it's normal for Xie Hanyu to get tired of him.

After all...he couldn't keep people...that's all.

Mu Tangfeng's eyelashes drooped down, the knife in his hand was clasped in the palm of his hand and gradually warmed up, a chill came from his body, he hugged his knees and curled up into a ball.

The room was empty, the night was quiet and silent, and occasionally the sound of leaves falling in the yard outside could be heard.

The moon hangs on the branches, and the silver light falls in the room, shining on the person in the corner of the room, making his figure thin and emaciated.

There were two crabapple flowers in the corner of the yard, and they withered quietly in the middle of the night.

Mu Tangfeng's eyes were fixed on a point in the void, and there was nowhere to fall.His face was pale, and he remained motionless in place, as if he had lost his soul.

His mind is full of pictures of Xie Hanyu getting along with him before, and the pictures are divided, as if the hole in his heart is being torn apart little by little.

Such a good Xie Hanyu...how did he lose it?

It's all his fault...it's all his fault...it's because he's too bad...he doesn't deserve Xie Hanyu.

Mu Tangfeng's temples were buzzing, and he covered his head, feeling that there were countless voices in his head, splitting inch by inch in his mind, forcing the pictures about Xie Hanyu to be shattered.

"As Yin Changling's disciple, you shoulder the entrustment of all beings in the three realms, how can you be emotional at will?"

Under the misty sky, the lotus branches of Yinggong are in full bloom one by one. Among the floating clouds, the man's figure is becoming more and more magnificent.

The man was dressed in a moonlight white robe, with a dark pattern of phoenix flying nine days on the cuffs, black hair hanging down his side, under the crow-feather eyelashes, the eyes were as clear as glass, lowly reflecting the figures of the people in the audience.

"Kneel down." The voice was as indifferent as Cang Xue's.

On his knees, he dropped to his knees.

"In the future, you are not allowed to go to the Night Palace again, and stay away from that fox demon."

He raised his head to look at the man on the steps, his clear eyes seemed to be full of anger.

This face... so familiar.

Where have I seen... Yin Changling... Yin Changling...

"The deity's name is Yin...the word Changling...is the God who is in charge of the world...it is the way of heaven that you three realms often say."

No... no... why are you angry?The way of heaven should be neither happy nor sad. The way of heaven is the rules. If the rules have emotions, then the rules of the world will be out of balance.

"The snow is heavy, don't let this deity down."

"From now on, you must not leave Yinggong for half a step... This deity will guard you...until you figure it out."

"You are the only apprentice of this deity, and I will not let you go."

Black air enveloped Mu Tangfeng's eyebrows, and the petals of the golden lotus were gradually stained black.He covered his head, the knife buckle in his hand fell to the ground, and there were a few more crimson marks on the palm prints he was holding.

Those memories seemed to be covered with a gray shadow, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

It shouldn't be like this... no...

Mu Tangfeng entered the daze, and didn't even notice that there were many figures beside him.

Yinxuan looked down at the huddled man in front of him, a snow-white and cold spot of light overflowed from his fingertips, and hit Mu Tangfeng's forehead.

The black mist in the golden lotus was forced to recede a little bit by the light spot, and subsided to the edge of the petals.

"Don't be afraid." Yinxuan knelt down in front of Mu Tangfeng, held Mu Tangfeng's hand and forced him to loosen his tightly clenched fingertips, looked down at him and said, "Mu Tangfeng, don't be confused. .”

"Look clearly... who am I..."

Mu Tangfeng raised his eyes when he heard the words, and his pupils shrank slightly when he saw Yinxuan's face clearly.Then he slowly reacted, his eyes moved slightly.

"Come with me... If you continue like this...you will be tortured madly by him."

There was a pinprick-like pain in his palm, the voice in Mu Tangfeng's head subsided, his eyes slowly fell on Yinxuan, and then moved away again.

His voice was very low, "Don't worry about it..."

"I'm going to register for the palace examination tomorrow, what are you going to do? Don't go? Forgot what your mother told you before leaving?"

Mu Tangfeng still lowered his eyes, "I will go."

Yinxuan's usually gentle face tensed up, he stared at Mu Tangfeng for a while, then reached out and touched his shoulder.

Mu Tangfeng froze, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with his head tilted.

Yinxuan held his legs with one hand, and passed under Mu Tangfeng's shoulders with the other, hugging him horizontally.

He carried Mu Tangfeng into the inner room, put him on the bed, and took off his robe.There was a deep red bloodstain on the snow-white underclothes, Yinxuan turned out a box of plasters, cut off the clothes bit by bit, applied the medicine to him, and then changed Mu Tangfeng's clothes.

The candlelight was extinguished at the side, and it was already late at night when Yinxuan finished his work. He helped Mu Tangfeng tuck up the quilt and disappeared into the room.

The person on the bed was restless in his sleep, and kept frowning until dawn.

Mu Tangfeng woke up early the next day. He stared at the beam for a long time, feeling an unspeakable pain in his heart.

Although it wasn't as painful as the day before, it was still stuck in his heart like a ball of cotton, making him unable to breathe.

He moved his fingertips slightly, raised his hand to look at the wound in his palm, and slowly rolled his eyes.

The white and slender fingers are slightly bent, and the wound on the thin palm has healed, leaving only a few shallow crescent moon marks on the palm.

The wound on his back didn't hurt much anymore. Mu Tangfeng remembered that the last time he saw Yinxuan put his hand on his shoulder, it must be Yinxuan who helped him heal the injury.

He slowly sat up from the bed, changed his clothes and went down.

The imperial examination...he is going to apply.

Mu Tangfeng's face was still a little pale, and he didn't look energetic.He tidied up the room casually and went out with the money.

Behind him, a figure followed him through the crowd, the fence covered most of his face, only a section of silver-white hair was exposed, and he kept guarding silently not too close or far away.

Scholars who came to take the exam gathered in Jingzhou from all over the world. Today Jingzhou was extremely lively. There were obviously more people on the streets than usual, and many of them were young men in their [-]th and [-]th years.

Under the Zhulan glazed tiles, there is a crowd like a market, and there is a lot of traffic in front of Shanglin Garden, and people come and go bustling.The young man had a free and unrestrained smile on his face. They gathered together to discuss the current dynasties and downs to Kyushu, with endless vigor in their words and laughter.

Mu Tangfeng was out of tune with them.He had a tired expression on his face, and he hated being in the crowd, so he started queuing up outside the gate of Shanglin Garden to get the dish.

There were many people who came, and Mu Tangfeng was on the last tail.The line moved slowly, and Mu Tangfeng waited without saying a word. When the people in front moved forward, he followed suit.

Several teenagers before and after gathered together to talk and laugh at Yan Yan, but he stood there alone, his whole figure seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.

The young man in front of him was a good talker, he turned his head to look at him several times when he was in line, and then couldn't help but said to Mu Tangfeng, "My lord, don't be discouraged, just do your best when you come to the palace exam, don't worry too much about it. "

Seeing his gloomy expression, the young man thought he was under too much pressure, so he comforted him.

Mu Tangfeng nodded perfunctorily, trying to pull a smile from the corner of his lips, but he couldn't.

The boy said again, "Young master, have you heard what they said recently?"

Mu Tangfeng lowered his eyes, "Never."

The young man said mysteriously, "It is said that before the palace test, there will be a capacity test, and whoever takes the first place in the capacity test will be finished."

"because……"

Before the boy could finish his sentence, the examiner had already done the one in front of him, and raised his voice, "The next one——"

"What are you still doing, come here."

The young man said "Hey -" and hurried over. After receiving the package, he met his companion again. He forgot about Mu Tangfeng for a moment, chatted with his companion for a few words, and then left.

Mu Tangfeng didn't take it seriously either. He went to the examiner and reported his name and where he was from. The examiner wrote a serial number on a bamboo card and handed it to him.

After receiving the dish, I went to the portrait. There were more people in line for the portrait. The sun was hanging high, and it was scorching on the people. A group of teenagers complained. Some covered their faces with bamboo fans, and some kept turning Hands fan the wind.

There was also a fine layer of sweat on Mu Tangfeng's forehead. On a hot day, he didn't feel hot, but felt dizzy from the sun.

While queuing up, suddenly there was a figure beside him, a glass of cold food was placed in front of him, the man's cold white and thin fingers moved slightly, and a familiar voice came.

"Try it."

Mu Tangfeng raised his head and faced Yinxuan's chin under the upper fence. The sweet and sour aroma of sour plum soup came from it, and it was chilled again. hand over.

Mu Tangfeng took it over.

If Yinxuan is willing to follow, just follow, anyway, there is no way to get rid of it, and... it was Yinxuan who gave him the medicine yesterday, and I haven't had time to thank him yet.

The bamboo cover opened, and the figure in front of him disappeared again. Mu Tangfeng took a sip of the sour plum soup, and found that no one around him noticed him, and no one noticed when Yinxuan disappeared.

The cold sour plum soup relieved a lot of the heat. Just as Mu Tangfeng put the bamboo cover back, a rough sound came from beside him.

"Give way."

Before he had time to react, a burly man jumped in front of him and bumped into him when he came over. He had no strength at all, and the sour plum soup in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".

Some of the cold soup splashed on his face, and the bamboo tube rolled to his feet. The burly man glared at him, "Don't you have eyes?"

The surroundings became quiet, and many eyes fell on the two of them. Mu Tangfeng's gaze slowly moved to the face of the burly man.
