Micro Herbs

Chapter 40

Finally... back here again...

When Bai Wei's feet landed on the small island in the center of Luoxing Lake, he quietly squatted down and stretched out his hands to lightly touch the land beside his feet, which was covered with grass and flowers. The memory of another person flooded in like a wave. in his mind.

His elder brother, or Pei Yuan who can also be called the elder brother of Wanhua Valley.

It was a very special existence for him.

Although he was brought into the valley by his master when he was young, most of the time he studied and studied medicine with his elder brother. It is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up under his elder brother's teaching.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he has any doubts and confusions, the first person he thinks of is always the big brother, and every time the big brother can always give him a good solution.Therefore, for him, senior brother is one of the people he admires the most, and it can even be said that he is like a master like a father.

But now... no more.

There is no senior brother here anymore, and there is no hut where the fragrance of medicine is lingering all the year round.

No matter how much he thinks about it, how much he misses it, if it’s gone, it’s gone.

In this valley, which is still as beautiful as a fairyland but is empty, there are no familiar people to welcome him back.

There is no big senior brother, no flower sage Yuqing, no work sage monks, and even... no Gu master who teaches tea scriptures every day.

The housekeeper Meng Yuzi, the tea-loving Mr. Wuyou and Taoist Zixu, the younger brother Baishu, the Fangfeng messenger...

Xianjiyan will not have a sage of calligraphy and painting, and there is no need to go to Tiangongfang if you can't hear the sound of the zither sage.

Even Samsung Mochizuki doesn't have stairs now, so if you go there, you can only look at it from the front of the mountain.

all... gone...

"Mu Sheng..." In the silence, it was Bai Ji who first discovered Bai Wei's loss and uneasiness.

This is the first time that Baiji has seen such a strong fragility that cannot be concealed in Bai Wei.

It's completely different from his usual look of always finding something to enjoy himself and leisurely, like a child who suddenly lost everything, confused, helpless, and preoccupied.It hurts, but I don't know how to comfort it.

"It's okay...Baiji, fortunately I still have you." Sensing someone squatting down beside him, gently covering the back of his hand, Bai Wei also held that warm hand with his back, turned his head and pulled slowly Open a relieved smile.

Is it always easy for people to peel off that layer of fake strong camouflage when they fall into silence and darkness?

Bai Wei didn't know.

The only thing he knows is that when Baiji is around, he can always feel more at ease.So, let him be a little more selfish.Just like that... Tie this person firmly to his side, and never let go.

"When my poison is cured, I want to rebuild Wanhua Valley. Whether it's five years or ten years, or even my whole life, I also want to change it back to the way I'm familiar with."

"Okay." Knowing that Bai Wei couldn't hear his answer, Bai Ji didn't hold his hand to write as usual, but just shook that cold hand firmly, like an oath.

"...Come on, I'll take you somewhere." After Wei Wei's silence, Bai Wei stood up abruptly as if she had made a decision.With a slight firm smile, after pulling Bai Ji out of Luoxing Lake, he suddenly embraced him in his arms, and flew towards the northwest of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley with his lightness kung fu!

"Hey, where are you going?!"

And Su Weiyu, who was still in the sea of ​​flowers, regretted that he did not bring his painting tools into the valley today, but when he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the two people who were still in the middle of the lake, you and me, who had already soared into the sky and were about to go somewhere else. He dropped the folding fan in his hand.On the other hand, Ling Xiaonian, who was still happily rolling and hugging the little deer in the sea of ​​flowers, didn't notice the change at all.

Can anyone tell him which of these two people's performances, saying that the wind is the rain...

"Follow!" Obviously, he was taken aback by Bai Wei's sudden action, and after Bai Ji was taken out for a long time, he turned around and shouted.What Mu Sheng just said was "you", so it should be Su Weiyun and the others to go there together.

"Yu, you stay here with Xiaonian, Li, let's go over and have a look." Throwing down a sentence, Su Weiyun also used his lightness skills to fly up to follow, and his snow-white toga was raised in the air, drawing a clean arc Wire.

This time the journey was a bit far, Su Weiyi almost crossed the entire valley with light work, only then did he see Bai Wei and Bai Ji who had arrived earlier.In front of where they were standing, there was another small valley surrounded by water, where lotus flowers were in full bloom, waterfalls splashed, and there was a unique cave.And Bai Wei was raising his hand and pointing forward, with a clear voice.

"Look, this is Xianji Rock, where the holy painting and calligraphy of Wanhua Valley used to live. It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Following the words, the fingers pointed one by one: "There should be a piano platform here... a chessboard in front of it... and a book pavilion. The platform opposite the waterfall is where Huasheng usually lives..."

But Su Weiyun's expression became more and more strange because of Bai Wei's words.

The place in front of me clearly doesn't look like anyone has lived there before.Except for the huge chessboard in the center of Xianji Rock, which seems to be carved on the rock with extremely high internal strength, there is not even a trace of the Qintai Book Pavilion that Bai Wei said with certainty. .

The poison in Bai Wei will only affect the five senses, but will not produce hallucinations.

But if someone really lived here, why is there no trace at all?And he is so familiar with this place, and he can speak with such certainty, could it be that these people have disappeared out of thin air now?

Thinking of this, he suddenly heard Bai Weiwei slightly smiling and asking him something that surprised him: "Young Master Su, would you like to be my painting saint in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley?"

"He..." Hearing this, Su Weiyun slightly opened his eyes wide and looked at Bai Ji, with hesitation in his eyes and a complicated expression.

He is considering whether to ask Bai Ji to give Bai Wei a pulse right now...

Hypochondria is a disease that can be big or small.Although it hurts to speak out about a person suffering from madness, it is definitely not the best policy to keep face and refuse to admit it. It is better to treat it as soon as possible.

Yes, that's right, he will never go crazy with him!

"I believe what he said." Probably understanding the suspicion in Su Weijun's eyes, Bai Ji smiled slightly and shook his head, not caring.The holding hands did not let go for a little bit.

He believes in Mu Sheng.

Since Mu Sheng said there is, then there is, even if there is no now, there will definitely be in the future.

"Heh...it's weird." While speaking, he suddenly heard Bai Wei chuckle slightly, with a bit of astringency, "Obviously there is nothing, isn't it?"

"So he knows..." The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Su Weiyun felt that he needed to find a place to organize his thoughts now.After all, this kind of upside-down talk makes people unable to keep up with their thinking, no matter how it sounds, it is very strange.

"Baiji, I am a disciple of Qingyan Wanhua, and my master...is Sun Simiao, the king of medicine." Clenching the warmth of his palm, Bai Wei's words seemed to carry some nostalgia for the past, but the sentence without beginning and end But people couldn't hear what he was trying to say.Bletilla striata is also in the fog of hearing, don't know why.

Of course he knew that Mu Sheng's master was Mr. Sun, and the apprenticeship ceremony was held just before he left, didn't he?

But Elder Sun had nothing to do with Ten Thousand Flowers Valley before, so why did he mention it at this time.

"Ten Thousand Flowers Valley... There are four hundred disciples and two hundred strange people. But now... there is nothing here, right?" The corner of his lips curled into a smile, Bai Weiping said flatly, even though he asked, he didn't Don't wait for others to answer.And the secret that had been hidden deep in my heart for a long time was finally revealed at this moment.

"Because that's... Wanhua 100 years later." Ever since he came to Datang a hundred years ago, this secret has been suppressed by him in the most untouchable depths of his heart.It's not that I'm afraid of being treated as a monster, it's just that...it hurts so much when I touch it.So he could only not think about it, not talk about it, and put this matter behind him heavily.

"Baiji, I am a person from 100 years later." Now, he can say it so calmly only because...there is already a bond that makes him worry about it.Baiji, to meet you and fall in love with you, it's really... great.

"Junior Sister and I were chased and killed by the rebels in order to save our uncle. In order for them to escape smoothly, I alone led the pursuers to fight all the way, and jumped off the cliff before being exhausted. Then... came here."

I don't know...whether the junior sister and the senior uncle managed to evade the hunting and arrest of the wolf army and return to the valley safely...

"It's like talking crazy, right?" Some people always say that the past can be abandoned by being cold-hearted and unfeeling, but who can tell him how to get back if he doesn't want to give up.Even though the land where he grew up has become such a precarious and war-torn Tang Dynasty, but at that time he... never thought of letting go!

"But Baiji, I really can't go back..."

[I believe, I believe everything you say. 】With cold fingertips trembling slightly, he wrote down trusting answers word by word in his lover's palm.Baiji knew very well that he shouldn't have believed such absurd things, but there was always a voice in his heart saying to him: Believe it, Mu Sheng will not lie to you, everything he told you is true.

So... trust him.

"Thank you for always being by my side." Holding hands and slowly embracing Bai Ji, Bai Wei's voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost hard to hear her ears.Softly... like the tear he shed with his back to everyone.

It fell silently and dissipated silently.

No one spoke, no one disturbed, silence was like an agreement made early in the morning.

After a long time, Bai Wei finally let go of Bai Ji: "Let's go."

"I'll do it."

The words that suddenly sounded came from Su Weiyun's mouth, and it seemed a bit out of date at first, and then I realized that he was actually answering Bai Wei's invitation just now: "As long as you can build the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, I will do it." The painting saint of thousands of flowers."

"Master Su..." Hearing this, Bai Ji was taken aback.

Su Weiyun is a prince, if he really associates too much with a Jianghu sect, not to mention that it will not benefit him at all, and if it is serious, he may even be falsely accused of forming a clique for personal gain.Is it really possible to accept so easily?

"Don't tell him, so as not to frighten him." With a light cough to cover up his embarrassment, Su Weiyun turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked away quickly.Only Bai Ji was left holding Bai Wei's hand, watching his leaving back, shaking his head with a helpless smile.

Such a promise...

This person, he probably regards Makuo as a friend.

*****************************************************

"Are you leaving? But Xiaonian likes this place..."

Reluctantly standing up, Ling Xiaonian looked up at Bai Wei, hoping to hear a negative answer from there.

"I'll come back again." Although she couldn't hear it, Bai Wei could feel Ling Xiaonian's reluctance from his hesitant steps.He bent down, patted his little head tenderly, and said comfortingly, "We'll come back when we're ready, it won't be long. At that time... we'll live here forever, okay?"

Is that sentence good? Bai Wei looked in the direction of Baiji.

【it is good. 】

The author has something to say: This chapter can be regarded as a summary of Brother Hua's state of mind after time travel.

Before, he seldom mentioned about Wanhua, not because he didn't want to, but because he missed her so much, so he kept hiding it and didn't say much.

It should not be so sad after telling Bai Xiaoliu now.

Then, young master Su is a saint of painting, everyone should have guessed it before.

In the future, Jiangu will play a lot of roles.

Finally, let me say here that Brother Hua wants to rebuild Wanhua Valley purely because of nostalgia, and wants to build Wanhua into the shape in his memory, and live in it for the rest of his life.It doesn't have any ambitions to develop Wanhua and attract strange people.After all, he is still afraid that if he moves too much, he will give the butterfly all the big brother Guzhu and so on... ORZ

That's it for the time being.
