Yan ghost

Xiang Yan heard someone calling him.He opened his eyes and saw Shi Ting lying on the bed wrapped in gauze, so he asked him, "How is your injury?"

This is not a memory, but a continuation of a previous dream.

There was still a faint pain in the chest, and I was a little flustered when I told Yan that I was fine.Shi Ting glanced away from the corner of his eye, and asked vigilantly, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"It's nothing." Xiang Yan hid behind him.

"take it out."

He presented the carpenter's knife to Yan and said, "Your bone is broken, and the doctor told me to cut wood to fix the limb."

Shi Ting asked suspiciously: "You don't want to use it to commit suicide again, do you?"

"No!" Xiang Yan giggled.

Seeing his reaction like this, Shi Ting finally believed it.He also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, so he snorted, "You obviously stabbed yourself before. What are you trying to do?"

Xiang Yan thought about how he threw himself into the lake once, drew his sword once, and now he even used the scissors, so he couldn't argue with it.When Shi Ting saw that he was unwilling to talk to him, he teased him and let him go.

"I thought you wanted to die with me."

"Block Kun Wusi's kindness for me, even if I pay back my life, it won't be an exaggeration." Xiang Yan answered seriously.

"Isn't it a matter of later when I help you block the strings?"

"Uh yes..." Xiang Yan thought that this person was really difficult, so he asked instead, "How does your Highness feel?"

When Shi Ting heard this address, he remembered that he had exposed his identity, and in a blink of an eye, he put on the posture of a prince, and said dissatisfied: "It's terrible. Who entangled me like this? I can't move at all, and I don't even feel conscious."

"Kunwu silk cuts tendons and bones, if you don't entangle you, you will fall apart."

Shi Ting gave up struggling.Xiang Yan continued to ask: "His Highness really hates dolls?"

"What are you asking all of a sudden?"

"Because I saw a lot of puppets in the palace earlier."

This question has been held in Xiang Yan's mind for a long time, because he couldn't expose Shi Ting when he was at home.Shi Ting also knew that he could no longer hide from him, so he confessed everything.

"When I was a child, I stayed in the court painting academy for several years. At that time, the painter would go out to drink tea with the luthier and chess masters after assigning homework, and would come back in two or three hours. There was a student in the painting academy who painted very quickly, always with a few strokes. Sneaked out to play. But the classmates never noticed, because there was always someone in his seat.

Once, halfway through my painting, I went outside to get some air, and it happened that the classmate came out to go to the latrine.I accidentally discovered that it was him who went in, but a doll with a similar appearance came out.Although the puppet is well-made, you can still tell the difference if you look closely.I was very interested in this matter, so I secretly left a letter to him, threatening to report him.

He wrote back the next day, saying that he would give me a wooden armor, trying to cover my mouth.I deliberately made fun of it, but I decided not to accept it, and even pointed out many shortcomings of the doll in the letter.Unexpectedly, the next day, he brought the puppet again, and this time it was improved, and he made it clear that he wanted to compete with me.

Since then, I have kept leaving books, and every time I tell the flaw of the puppet, he will bring the puppet that solved the flaw the next day, which is very fun.

But suddenly one day, he didn't bring the doll, and he didn't slip out to play in the middle of the day. He didn't say a word and painted for a whole day.After several days like this, I finally couldn't help looking for him, and only then did I learn that his elder brother ran away from home.

He told me that when he sneaked out before, he went to play with his elder brother, and his dolls were also made by him.Since then, we have become friends, now more than 20 years of friendship. "

"You are actually the provocative person back then..."

"You and I don't know each other." Shi Ting smiled, this matter has always been a little secret in his heart.

"In that case, why did you tell me you hated dolls in the first place?"

"Even if you go home, you still concentrate on making wooden armor, and you didn't accompany Xiang Yu, did you? He came to me like before and told me a lot about you, so I wanted to teach you a lesson for him, but I didn't expect..."

Shi Ting hesitated to speak, he hummed to Yan, curious about what to say, but Shi Ting said nothing, and sent him away.

Xiang Yan sighed in his heart.Back then, I tried every means to hide it, because I thought Shiting hated dolls and didn't want him to face the fact that I became a doll, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.It's just that even if he knows the truth now, he can't say anything.Because once it is said, everything is completely different again.

Xiang Yan took good care of Shi Ting for half a month, and the doll was finally ready.Shi Ting couldn't stay longer at Xiang's house, so as soon as the gauze was removed, he went back to live in the palace.

That night, he carried his wooden box to Yan and climbed up to the roof of the palace.As soon as his feet touched the ground, he heard a voice behind him: "What are you doing over the wall of our house?"

"Ha, Your Highness is still awake so late..."

"Can't sleep, come out and practice sword."

Xiang Yan waved his hand and said: "No, no, you just recovered from a serious illness, and you can practice again in a few days." He grabbed the sword and pushed him into the room, thinking: I want to practice the sword as soon as I don't look at it.This puppet is still not perfect, what if there is a mistake, what should I do, please check the muscles and bones first.

Shi Ting said: "The imperial doctor came to see me today, and said he couldn't get my pulse. It's strange..." Xiang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "What... what imperial doctor. If the divine doctor says it's fine, then it's fine." Shi Ting said: "I think so too, it's Yun Yu who insists on bringing someone to see it."

Could it be that Fu Xing is going to use some tricks!

Xiang Yan helped Shi Ting lie back on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here..."

Shi Ting said: "He said he was visiting, but he actually came to question me about the Shangyuan Festival." He stretched out his hand and handed back the sword to Yan.He tapped Yan's chest with his sword and said: "He asked me when I regained my sword skills, and when I walked with you again."

Only then did Xiang Yan feel relieved, and he was sure that it wasn't Fu Xing who came, but Yun Yu from back then.He still remembered that Xiantong once mentioned that when Fu Xing was Yun Yu, he wanted to separate him and Shi Ting, and now he must have discovered it before he took action.It's just why Fu Xing made such an unnecessary move. Obviously, as long as he is made to surrender to himself, isn't it enough to implement Yanshu?He really couldn't figure it out.

But what's interesting is that Xiang Yan doesn't remember that Shi Ting mentioned this to him back then.Presumably it was because he didn't know about sword practice in the past, so Shi Ting kept silent to him.After all, back then he was devoted to Yun Yu, and if he mentioned it, it might hurt their feelings.

Shi Ting drew his sword and drew it back to play, and said, "He was very surprised, and said that you, who have always been cautious, would expose yourself in full view at the temple fair. Are you planning to break the image of King Huai that you have painstakingly cultivated over the years?"

Xiang Yan burst into a smile: "It turns out that Your Majesty also knows that arrogance and lust are His Highness's disguise."

Shi Ting let out a groan, and said in surprise: "You usually pull Xiang Yu away from me, I thought you were the only one who couldn't see it."

"Of course I know that His Highness wants to protect himself. It's just that you have to put on a posture if you know it, don't you?" Xiang Yan smiled guiltily.In fact, he really didn't know before.

Shi Ting asked Xiang Yan to put the sword away for him, and said: "He also warned me that if there is any further action, he will send me out of Beijing."

Hearing this, Xiang Yan couldn't help feeling sad about the upcoming parting.He got up and hung the sword on the bedside, and said in a deep voice: "A king's will is hard to change. If you really want to be relegated, you might as well be yourself." Shi Ting stared at Yan and smiled slightly, his words were exactly what he wanted.

Xiang Yan turned around and sat on the bed, Shi Ting asked narrowly, "Have you been sneaking into my room every night lately?"

"How can I..."

"The servant said that these days and nights are old people, wearing black clothes and half arms."

Xiang Yan was powerless to refute this statement.He was the only one who dressed like this in the whole capital, and he thought that black clothes for nocturnal travel were just right for his usual clothes.

"Come to see me?" Shi Ting hooked his little finger.

"Oh..." Xiang Yan pretended not to notice and let him hook him.

"Why don't you let me know?"

Xiang Yanzheng tried his best to make up an excuse, but was caught off guard by Shi Ting.Shi Ting leaned into his ear and said, "They also said they saw that my clothes were disheveled, so please tell me the truth."

"How can gossip be taken seriously." Xiang Yan looked embarrassed.

"Of course I know that. It's just that I saw how much I like you last time, so I have to doubt it." Shi Ting turned over and pressed Xiang Yan to kiss him.

"Who... likes..." Xiang Yan took advantage of the gap to argue, but at the same time he couldn't help responding.

The two quarreled for a while, Xiang Yan's drunken eyes were blurred, he gently pushed Shi Ting, and said in a low voice: "I'm going back." If you don't leave the dream, you will wake up.

Shi Ting deliberately annoyed: "It's not true. You have promised to listen to me."

Xiang Yan thought that he had indeed agreed before, so he lowered his eyes and found another reason for his hesitation.After thinking about it, he was confused again, his heart was full of anticipation and luck, as if he was stroking a flawless window paper and was about to pierce it.

In an instant, the glare of the sun shines through the eyelids.He opened his eyes, and saw the mottled shadows of trees on the ground again.

The dream woke up again.My heart is full of regrets.Sure enough, the wish can't come true.

Xiang Yan returned to his dream again.At this moment, he was in a mobile restaurant with several jars of wine in his hand.The restaurant was full of people, and he was so excited that he hadn't had a drink here for a long time.

There is an unwritten rule in the mobile restaurant, the first floor only talks about romance, the second floor only talks about internal and external current affairs, and the third floor only talks about Yanjia thaumaturgy.Xiang Yan wanted to go up to the third floor, halfway there, he suddenly slowed down and listened to the discussions of the drinkers.

"It's said that the Son of Heaven finally couldn't bear it with King Huai and demoted him to the border."

"King Huai has been extravagant all these years and desperately wants to collect people's wealth, so he should be sent to that kind of place and locked up."

"However, King Huai has always acted like this, and the emperor ignored it. Compared with the other hard-working princes, King Huai should be the one the emperor disdains to do anything with. There must be something hidden behind why he is suddenly demoted."

"There are rumors that this mobile restaurant was secretly funded by King Huai, and it was recorded under Yixia's surname, Fu Shao. As soon as the mobile restaurant appeared, King Huai packed his bags and left Beijing. Is it really a coincidence?"

"But the Son of Heaven isn't the best Mujia Yanshu, why did he anger King Huai for moving the restaurant?"

"If you think who designed this mobile restaurant, it must be Xiang Yan. King Huai can get Xiang Yan's design, and his friendship must be extraordinary. This won the favor of the emperor, isn't it an obvious provocation."

"But isn't Xiang Yan a clean man? He always shies away from King Huai, why did he give him the blueprints?"

"Xiang Yan's younger brother, Xiang Yu, is close to King Huai. Maybe he stole his brother's blueprint as a gift."

"Then Huai Wang has been wronged."

"I don't think it's unfair. Even if it wasn't for the blueprint given by Xiang Yan himself, King Huai is willing to build a mobile restaurant because he has the heart to resist."

"That's not right. Xiang Yan stationed an army of [-] mechas at the border. Now that the Son of Heaven sent King Huai to guard him, is it relegation or handing over military power?"

"It's really strange, the meaning of the emperor is hard to fathom."

When Xiang Yan came to the third floor, he saw Feng Zhu holding the blueprint in his hand and staring into the distance.He called out.Feng Zhu turned around and said, "Teacher! The wine is ready."

Feng Zhu stood up and helped to pick up the wine, and said: "We will cross Xuanming Lake soon, have you seen the Pengniao? The students can't wait to go to the lake early in the morning and wait for you to celebrate."

Many people gathered at the windows on this floor, all looking forward to watching Xiang Yan's new work Pengniao.On that day, Pengniao will carry the people around the capital, which can be described as a grand event.It was said that it was not yet dawn, and there was already a circle of people waiting for the first voyage of the Pengniao by the Xuanming Lake.

In the evening, the last flight ended.Pengniao is moored by the lake, waiting for the tourists to gradually disperse.At the second watch, Pengniao started again.Someone saw it piercing the night sky and heading towards the border.

Xiang Yan sat alone in the cockpit.He was not good at flying late at night, and he hadn't operated the Pengniao for a long time, and the road was so bumpy that he was about to throw up.At the fourth watch, he finally saw the border cliff.

Thinking of the last time he flew so far, it was when he was Qinghuai, when he first arrived at the border, like the other low trees, he was full of hope of rebirth, and he wholeheartedly went to their King Huai.

The border city under the night is dark and quiet, without any signs of prosperity in the future.

Pengniao hovered for a few weeks and found a place to land.At this time, Shi Ting was bringing a few attendants and came on horseback.They looked up at the giant in the sky and were in awe.

Xiang Yan jumped off from the Peng bird, and said while running: "Your Highness, come quickly, and follow me to see this flying armor." As soon as Shi Ting got off his horse, he was dragged away by him.

They sat in the cockpit, and Pengniao set sail again.

Xiang Yan Le said: "Look at your followers are as small as ants." He turned his head and saw that Shi Ting, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was not looking out the window, but was staring at himself intently.

"I thought I'd never see you again." After being demoted, Shi Ting had never seen Xiang Yan, and his words were full of grievances.

Xiang Yan coaxed: "With Pengniao traveling thousands of miles a day, I can come to the border every now and then."

Shi Ting asked: "How long is the interval?"

Xiang Yan said, "Five days?"

"Three days."

"That's exhausting."

"I can fly to you too."

Xiang Yan tilted his head and grinned: "Then His Highness wants to try?" He got up and asked Shi Ting to sit down, and taught him a few times.Shi Ting was very savvy about driving, and he got started in a few clicks, and asked Xiang Yan to play in the passenger seat.

Shi Ting asked: "Where do you want to go?" Xiang Yan said: "Go to the horizon."

Pengniao went up all the way, breaking through the clouds.The lonely sky is boundless and the sky full of stars is only for the two of them.

Xiang Yan asked: "If you go further up, will you reach the heaven?" Shi Ting didn't know anything at the time, just took it as a joke, and continued: "Maybe you can meet a god."

They continued to fly until they came to a place where there was a vision in the sky.The distant border was full of colorful lights, which were completely different from the quiet night sky around them.

Shi Ting wondered what the horizon was, and was about to explore there, when he suddenly fell down.He stuck a charm on his back.Xiang Yan stood behind him.

Xiang Yan parked the Pengniao, took out tools from the wooden box, untied Shi Ting's clothes, opened his chest, and took out the black jade belt hook.

He walked out of the cabin door, stepped into the clouds carefully, and said silently in his heart, he would not fall, he would not fall, and he was able to walk through the clouds.

Holding Moyu tightly, he stepped into the clouds excitedly.He ran all the way, rushing towards the wonderful border, but in an instant, his palm was empty.

He turned around.The black jade floated in the air and did not come with him.On the opposite side was still the pitch-black night, which had a clear boundary with the glazed fantasy realm he was in.

"Why am I the only one here?" Casting a spell on Xiang Yan, he summoned Shi Ting's soul.He stretched out his hand to pull it, but Shi Ting was knocked down to the ground with an inexplicable expression on his face.

Although Shi Ting didn't know what happened, and didn't know what Xiang Yan wanted, but he hated the invisible boundary that separated them.He kept working hard, but fell to the ground in pain again and again, always unable to break through.

Could it be that Fu Xing is not lying, he is really the dreamer who cannot be taken away?Xiang Yan lowered his head in despair.Shi Ting looked at him quietly from the opposite side, and seemed to say something, but he couldn't hear it.

Suddenly, there were two more people beside Shi Ting.Xiang Yan raised his head and called out: "Father...mother..." and then crossed the border and hugged his mother.

Putting his hands on his shoulders, his father asked, "Are you and Yu'er all right?" Xiang Yan said, "Okay, everything is fine." Tears rolled down his face.

Seeing her son's appearance, the mother felt distressed and said, "Yu'er is so delicate, I must have made it difficult for you."

Xiang Yan shook his head, like a child who has made a mistake, and said honestly: "I didn't dare to tell him about you. He thought you would just wander around and never go home."

The mother smiled and said, "That silly boy, don't you doubt it?"

"How is it possible? He asked every day." Xiang Yan choked up with a smile, "Later I couldn't take it anymore, so I made two dolls, invited two ghosts to pretend to be you, and said goodbye to him for the last time. He was so angry , but believed."

Mother hugged Xiang Yan again and said, "You are too."

Xiang Yan leaned on his mother's shoulder, inexplicably relieved.In a daze, he saw someone coming from a distance.It's Fengzhu, and Yuyin Lejun and the others.
