That monk has a dragon [Rebirth]

The cold rain fell all night, and it didn't stop until the morning with the sound of the flute.

Si Huai slowly opened his eyes, turned his hand and stuffed the flute back into his sleeve, and turned to look at the person on the recliner.

Fu Mingyao's head was slightly tilted to one side, the posture was the same as before going to bed last night, his frown was relaxed, his face was still pale, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips.

"Amitabha..." Wu Nian recited silently, pulled back the hand that was on the back of Fu Mingyao's hand, put his palms together and recited the sutras.

There was a sound of bead curtains rattling behind him, and when he turned his head, he realized that Meng Pingshan had already stood outside the pavilion at some point, his tall figure seemed a bit hunched at the moment, with stubble on his face, as if a The night is full of vicissitudes.

"Cousin..." Ming Qiao looked at him and wanted to reach out to help him, but he hesitated for a while and then took it back, lifted the hem of his robe and was about to kneel down, but Meng Pingshan held him up and pulled him up again.

Meng Pingshan stared fixedly at Fu Mingyao. Over the years, his figure has become very thin, and he has not smiled comfortably for a long time. This gentle appearance looks like he is asleep and dreaming, so beautiful He couldn't bear to open his mouth to break.

"Is he walking steadily?" Meng Pingshan's eyes became a little erratic, and his voice trembled a little.

Ming Qiao thought that he would go crazy when he came back and saw that Fu Mingyao was dead, and he was ready to fight him, but he didn't expect him to be so calm, as if he already knew that such a thing would happen.

"Cousin, are you... all right?" Ming Qiao raised his eyes cautiously to look at him, worried that he might be overwhelmed by grief.

"Okay...very good..." Meng Pingshan nodded mechanically a few times, then suddenly burst into laughter with red eyes, and growled, "You guys plot against me together! Can I be good!?"

"Brother Mingyao, he..."

"I know what he meant!" Meng Pingshan interrupted him sharply, panting heavily with his chest rising and falling, trying his best to control his trembling body, smiling extremely desolately and sadly.

"I know what he meant, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to Lianyun Mansion last night, and I wouldn't have drank your feast." He would stay here and never let anyone get close to his Mingyao.

But... this is exactly what Fu Mingyao meant, and it was the only relief he wanted in the city lord's mansion for more than ten years.

Meng Pingshan walked towards Fu Mingyao with some unsteady steps. He had never felt such a long distance in just a few steps, as if it would take him the rest of his life to get to that person's side.

Usually, when he approached Fu Mingyao, even if he was in a deep sleep, he would wake up immediately and "look" in his direction with a pair of invisible eyes, so indifferent and without any emotion.

But today, his sleeping appearance is so gentle and peaceful, just leave him like this, and never wake up again.

"Mingyao..." Meng Pingshan called him softly, the smile on his face slowly became distorted, his neck was covered with furious veins, his whole body was trembling, and suddenly he turned into an angry beast, bowing his head. Roaring, he overturned the table next to him, pushed away Si Huai and Wu Nian who were on the edge, staggered and knelt down beside Fu Mingyao's recliner.

A corner of the brocade fur covering his body fell to the ground, and some of the rainwater drifted in.

Fu Mingyao grabbed his hand that was still warm outside, and slowly stuffed it back under the brocade fur coat, trembling without saying a word, but crying all over his face like a child who lost his candy tear stains.

It is said that a man is indomitable, and if a tooth is knocked out, he will swallow it with blood, but who knows, they will cry like ashes when they lose their loved ones.

"Mingyao, have you ever loved me?" Meng Pingshan stretched out his hand to caress the bloodless face. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing. His hands suddenly grabbed Fu Mingyao's shoulders, as if he was about to embedded in his blood.

"I have carried hundreds of orders and my hands are covered with blood, just to save your life! I was afraid that outsiders would gossip and ruin your reputation, and people from the immortal sect would come to you, so I married a wife and respected you as a guest in front of others. !I stole someone’s full moon child for you, and wanted to use them to save your life! But what about you? You have always wanted to leave me, all this time!”

"The child who just reached the full moon? The lost pair of dragon and phoenix twins from the Li family?" Si Huai ignored his almost out-of-control rationality, grabbed his hand and pulled him to turn around, and asked sharply.

"I snatched it away." Meng Pingshan raised his other hand and knocked off Si Huai's hand, smiling ferociously. On the other hand, I am the villain who snatched the child!"

"That one..."

"Qi Zhou!" Wu Nian knew that it was the female ghost he was going to ask, so she interrupted him hastily, shook her head, and asked instead: "Why?"

"Why?" Meng Pingshan laughed as if he had heard some joke, and then cried very sadly, "Naturally, it is to continue his life. The newly born twins of dragon and phoenix have yin and yang at the same time. , take the blood of your heart for seven days and drink it, which can prolong your life."

"Heh!" Si Huai sneered and rolled his eyes at him, and scolded him in his heart for talking nonsense, he had never heard of such a way to prolong his life after living for so long.

Wu Nian didn't ask him where he heard it from, but asked lightly: "Do you know what kind of dream he left himself in?"

A dream must be so good that people are willing to give up all the worries of the world in order to stay in it and never wake up.

Meng Pingshan didn't know what to think of, and the expression of crying and laughing gradually became indifferent, which brought a little bit of fear that he didn't want to admit.

Wu Nian clasped his hands and said "Amitabha" before slowly saying: "He dreamed about the night you confessed your heart to him more than ten years ago, and he didn't push you away or leave. Then you listened to him The words brought back the people who came to Beijing, and waited for the edict of appointment to come down. When the enemy attacked again, the imperial court sent reinforcements. After the situation stabilized, you resigned from the official position and left Xinling with him..."

"Stop it! Stop it!" Meng Pingshan interrupted him, covering his head with a painful expression.

It was just a dream, a dream that could never be changed and could never go back if it was missed at the beginning.

"It's not that he doesn't love you, he just wants to let go of himself and you." Seeing him kneeling in pain, Wu Nian finished the last sentence.

Si Huai quietly looked at Wu Nian's side face, a heart made of mud seemed to have fallen into the water and turned into mud, which could not be caught or picked up.

He never thought that this monk could see through the relationship, but... what about the two of them?From the last life until his death, did you ever see through it?

No one in the pavilion spoke for a while, Ming Qiao stepped forward to help Meng Pingshan up from the ground, but was pushed away by the latter.

Meng Pingshan got up from the ground and sat next to Fu Mingyao, leaned down and gently hugged him in his arms, buried his face in his neck, sobbed softly twice, and finally he was like a child. Children usually cry heart-piercingly.

No one would come close to this plum blossom grove on weekdays. Only here could he disregard the face of the city lord and cry to the heart of his heart.

In the end, I don't know whether I have cried enough or figured it out, Meng Pingshan stood up a little unsteadily, still blocked Ming Qiao's hand that was reaching out to help him, straightened his clothes, stood upright, and then turned around Lowering her waist, she hugged Fu Mingyao horizontally in her arms, and walked out steadily.

Seeing that he was silent, Ming Qiao swallowed back the words of concern, and stepped forward to push aside the bead curtain for him.

"I've always been afraid of hurting and hurting him. It's been a long time since I held him in my arms so tightly. I didn't expect him to become so light now."

Meng Pingshan stood still, smiled wryly at Ming Qiao, then turned to look at Wu Nian and Si Huai.

"I saw that method by chance. I don't know if it's true or not. As long as it can save his life, I'm willing to try it." He paused, looked down at the person who seemed to be sleeping peacefully in his arms, and there was an infinite expression in his eyes. Gentle, said: "He won't let me do this. In these years, besides begging for death, he begged me for the first time. The two children are raised in the east courtyard. Master, please return them for me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wu Nian to agree, Meng Pingshan hugged the person in his arms and walked out of the yard without looking back.

Later, I heard from the servants in the mansion that the city lord left Xinling City on a fast horse with his men, without telling where he was going or when he would be back.

Perhaps, it was to realize the dream that Fu Mingyao didn't want to wake up from.

Sure enough, Si Huai and Wu Nian found the two dragon and phoenix twins who were taken away by Meng Pingshan in the east courtyard. The two children were carefully taken care of by the nanny. .

Counting, the two children have been missing for more than ten days. I heard that the Li family went to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the situation five places away. They must have never imagined that the child they were looking for was hidden in the City Lord's Mansion.

The two said goodbye to the suzerains, and went to Lijia Village with their two children in their arms.

Li Feng's family has been desperately looking for a child these days. They never thought that the monk who was driven away by them brought the child back. Feeling ashamed and grateful, the whole family knelt down on the ground and spent a lot of time. Only then did the tongue lift the man up from the ground.

The Li family made a whole table of vegetarian meals to express their gratitude. I only thought that there were more important things, so I thanked and thanked again, and left with a basket of vegetarian food.

After walking for a long distance, I turned around and saw the young and old Li family standing in front of the yard and waving their hands. Wu Nian glanced back, smiled and said to Si Huai: "After so many days, there is finally one thing to be happy about. thing."

"There's nothing to be happy about. You got the child back for them. Naturally, you were so happy that you knelt and worshiped. But you forgot how badly you pointed and scolded behind your back when you were driven away?"

"Monks should be broad-minded, and don't worry about others' gratitude, nor should they worry about the reviling behind them." Wu Nian kept smiling, and noticed that Si Huai was a little absent-minded, and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Si Huai sighed softly, "It's not really a concern, I just feel that too many people live with two faces in the world, aren't they tired?"

Wu Nian gave a "hmm" in some doubts, and watched him waiting for the next article.

"The people from the Li family looked the same when they begged you for help, and they looked the same when they said you were harming others. This Meng Pingshan, in front of others, is the upright, courageous and scheming Lord of Xinling. , but he is an infatuated person who has taken an unknown number of lives on his back."

Everyone in the world is like this, just like wearing a mask on their body, changing into a smiling face for a while, and a crying face for a while.

"What is there to compare? The Li family is anxious because they lost their child, and the Lord Meng is because of the obsession in his heart."

"I read..." Si Huai looked at his smiling face, suddenly called him, and asked very seriously: "You said, can the love between two men be tolerated by the world?"

I never thought that he would ask such a question, the smile on his face faded, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's not that the world doesn't tolerate them, but that this relationship uses other people's lives as a foreshadowing, and they can't tolerate it themselves." Own."

how about you?

Si Huai looked away from his face, but swallowed the words back.

He was clearly asking how he viewed the relationship between the two men before, but what he answered was the relationship between Meng Pingshan and Fu Mingyao.

If Wu Nian really didn't fall asleep that day, then he should know his mind, but after he asked me a few times, Wu Nian was pretending to be confused, so there is no need to ask any more.

The day he saw Wu Nian, he knew that he shouldn't have too much to do with him in this life, but he couldn't let it go and couldn't help wanting to get close to him.

A bitter taste pervaded in my heart, tearing my internal organs sorely.

Wu Nian had already walked for a while, and seeing that Si Huai hadn't followed, thinking that he was still feeling sorry for Meng Pingshan and Fu Mingyao, he stopped in his tracks and called out, "Let's go! It's going to be cloudy again! "

As if he didn't hear it, Si Huai looked up at the dark sky, and suddenly asked, "Master, do you want to follow them to Mount Enhua?"

Go dig up Lingjun's grave, which was built by himself.

Wu Nian didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and subconsciously nodded.

"Sect Master Ming said that I am a disciple of Buddhism. Maybe I can induce a few pieces of broken jade to attract the last piece of broken jade. This is a major event related to the common people in the world. Since there is a place that requires my efforts, I will naturally go there. Why do you ask this?"

"It's okay." Si Huai shook his head, stretched out his palms slightly together, facing upwards, and said with a smile, "It's snowing."

When he came back to this world, it was the first snow that fell.

It also snowed when he and Lingjun were in Lancang Mountain that year, and the snow fell later than in previous years, but it was the last snow-covered winter day he saw in his last life.
