Qinglian Snow Heavy

Lian alone.The iron chain was sinking and floating in the sea water, it was too dark to see the direction of extension, Qinglian quietly looked into the distance, feeling Jiarui's concerned eyes on her.Feeling supported by others, it seems that my trembling and timid heart has also calmed down.Qinglian caressed her skirt, and slowly untied her belt, since she used blood to wash away her sins, how could she stain Yan Lan's fine clothes.After removing the clothes, only the white shirt was left on Qinglian's body. Qinglian turned around, knelt down reverently, and said her final farewell to the country that raised him but was not his homeland.The early spring breeze passed, the cold weather was chilly, and a piece of yellow dust was raised. Over the low-lying pure white figure, the dust covered the joys and sorrows of 18 years of life.

222、Farewell...

Three days passed quickly, Jiarui spent the rest of the time by Qinglian's side except for the necessary state preparations.Tong Jingyu tries her best to help Jiarui deal with the affairs, so as to spare more time for the two lovers who are about to part.Tong Jingyu swallowed the bitterness in her heart, and looked at the two people who depended on each other by the sea from a distance, there was no jealousy, only regret and sadness, and then she felt a little lucky in her heart, because in the end, she could still be by Qinglian's side.

Jia Rui wrapped Qinglian in a cloak and held her in his arms, standing side by side on the desolate beach, looking at the green water and green mountains in front of him.Several long iron chains have been lowered from the mountainside on the opposite bank, and connected to the iron pillars at the pier on the opposite bank.Wu Zizhong couldn't help but sigh at the uncanny workmanship in Wu Zizhong's mouth, which he didn't really believe until he saw Jiarui with his own eyes.Looking at the craftsmen of the Moon Kingdom who came and went, they inlaid wooden boards on the iron cables, and after a while, a pontoon bridge was laid across Luoyue Bay.

.Jiarui hugged Qinglian and watched quietly. The rope bridge seemed to lead to the depths of the cemetery. When the entire pontoon bridge was completed, Jiarui unconsciously tightened Qinglian in his arms.Tomorrow is the end of the reunion, Jiarui can't be as calm as Qinglian, her heart is like hanging on an iron chain, hanging in the air, letting the cold wind whip, dripping with blood, with nowhere to fall.

The two stood quietly, unknowingly the setting sun reflected in the water and swayed, and when they opened their eyes again, the setting sun was like blood.Qing Lian leaned against Jia Rui's chest, feeling hot liquid dripping down her hair, and when it reached her neck, it was already icy cold.Qinglian took Jia Rui's hand from her shoulder, held it, and then turned around to wipe away the wanton tears on Jia Rui's face.Looking into Jiarui's eyes until no more tears flowed from them, Qinglian solemnly wrote in Jiarui's palm: 20 years, okay, wait for me to come back!

On the third day of March in the 17th year of Jiarui, which coincided with the Qingming Festival, Emperor Jiarui of the Yin Kingdom first landed in the Buddha Lotus of the Moon Kingdom.Jiarui and Qinglian didn't sleep all night, they hugged each other tightly, silently waiting for the dawn, waiting for the parting, and spending the last time together.

The crescent moon is like a hook, piercing into the flesh and blood. It was not until dawn that the ground was wet. In the early morning, it began to rain mistyly. The green hills beside Luoyue Bay became more and more verdant, and every place was filled with the breath of spring. , but full of lingering sadness.All the people were waiting outside the palace, waiting for their monarch and the priests of the Moon Kingdom to go out.

Jiarui is wearing a bright yellow brocade dragon robe with Nine Dragons Flying to the Sky. Although his hair was cut short because of his guilt and he cannot wear a crown, it does not affect his self-contained imperial spirit at all.And Qinglian put on the lotus-moon water pattern neon dress that Yan Lan wore when she left Yueguo 20 years ago in order to show her dignity.Since Qinglian was still waiting for a crime, she didn't use the frame, while Jia Rui accompanied her all the way and stopped before the cross bridge.

On the other side not far away, Monarch Yan Zhen, dressed in fine attire, stood at the forefront, Yan Ming was on the left and right, and there were quite a few people coming. Jia Rui Yuanwang could identify them by the color of his attire, and it was likely that all the dignitaries of the Yue Dynasty would be present.The melodious sound of music coming across the water is not like the solemnity and grace of the rituals and music of the Yin Kingdom.

The envoys from the Kingdom of the Moon who had already greeted him crossed over to greet them, and handed over the letter of ceremony with the seal of the Kingdom of the Moon to Jiarui, and then the envoys bowed to invite the Kingdom of Yin to visit.Jiarui originally wanted to go with Qinglian, but the envoys of the Yue Kingdom refused Qinglian's landing without hesitation on the grounds that Qinglian was a sinner and not involved in the Pure Land.The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while, at the time of the national ceremony, it was difficult for Jiarui, as the monarch of another country, to protect Qinglian.Jia Rui changed his mind, it might be better to go ashore first, wait until he sees the monarch of the Moon Kingdom, and then apologize for Qinglian.

So Jia Rui shook Qinglian's wrist with his hand, and then led the crowd onto the pontoon bridge rippling with water.Tong Jingyu thought of Qinglian, but couldn't look back all the way, because as a long history who would stay in Yueguo in the future, he had to follow Jiarui, and he couldn't stay.The courtiers of the Yin Kingdom followed, and not long after, only Qinglian and two envoys from the Yue Kingdom were left on the shore.

Since Yueguo and Luoyue Bay are connected by mountains, the terrain at the foot of the waterside is higher than that on the other side.When Jiarui led Yinguo's party to greet Yuefang, after some etiquette, he was able to look back. Looking down at the opposite bank, he saw Qinglian's small figure, isolated and helpless.In fact, this is the case, no matter how tolerant and peaceful Qinglian is, how can she not feel sad when she is squeezed out by her own clan.

In the previous 20 years, the Kingdom of Yin and the Kingdom of Yue were adjacent to each other, but they were not close but wanted to invade each other. Because of Yan Lan's incident and Ye Dingcheng's assassination incident, the relationship between the two countries was once on the verge of collapse.But because of Qinglian, both sides have made concessions, and the letter of credence signed by Jiarui and Yuefang this time, Wuchang has given Yueguo a lot of benefits.Therefore, even though the people of the Yue Kingdom are brooding in their hearts, they cannot openly launch an attack, because the country that has been soaked in disasters for 20 years urgently needs the funding of the Yin Kingdom and the return of priests.

Although the two sides have their own ideas and hypocrisy, it is regarded as a courtesy on the scene. After all, the millennium of the Moon Kingdom has a special meaning in this land, and it has been affirmed by the gods. It is the dream of many monarchs to ascend to the top of the Moon Kingdom and enshrine Zen.The heads of state of the two countries had a pleasant talk, Yan Zhen seemed to have forgotten Qinglian who was waiting on the other side begging to return home, and wanted to welcome the guests into the country.At this time, Jiarui couldn't hold back, so he proposed to Yan Zhen that Yinguo deeply felt the kindness of Qinglian, the priest of Yueguo, and hoped to thank him in person.

Who would have thought that it would be okay not to mention Qinglian, but when Qinglian was mentioned, all the people present at the Moon Kingdom changed their colors, with a look of deep hatred, and even Yan Zhen, who was calm and composed just now, also showed gnashing of hatred.After all, it is a state affair, and Jiarui's unspeakable forbidden love for Qinglian in broad daylight, although heartbroken, is not helpful.Qinglian had to return to the Moon Kingdom to eliminate the spell incinerated by the flames of the hellish red lotus on her body, but before that, she had to use the pure water of Luoyue to wash away her sins.The price of betraying the moon god is to bear the consequences of breaking the oath. The blood stained Luoyue Bay, when Yan Ming calmly said Qinglian's previous oath, Jiarui felt shuddering, worried about Qinglian, but had no position to defend , together with Tong Jingyu beside Jiarui, could only clenched their fists secretly and stared at Qinglian on the other side.

A flat boat sailed to the other side, and an order from the lord Yan Zhen came. The two envoys of the Moon Kingdom who had stayed on the other side said contemptuously, "Only you are worthy of wearing the lotus-moon neon clothes of the Son of the Moon God!" The people of the country were extremely wary of Qinglian, and did not say a word to Qinglian. In fact, Qinglian's intoxicating voice had long been taken away by the heavens, and she was already speechless, so she had no chance to "bewitch" others.

The messenger withdrew from the pontoon, and removed the planks of the bridge in the usual manner.It turned out that the pontoon bridge that flew across the two sides was not long, and only a row of iron cables immersed in seawater remained.After the bridge deck was completely unloaded, the official of the Yue Kingdom who was waiting on the boat left happily, and besides the guards in the distance, only Qinglian was really left at this time.

The iron chain was sinking and floating in the sea water, it was too dark to see the direction of extension, Qinglian quietly looked into the distance, feeling Jiarui's concerned eyes on her.Feeling supported by others, it seems that my trembling and timid heart has also calmed down.Qinglian caressed her skirt, and slowly untied her belt, since she used blood to wash away her sins, how could she stain Yan Lan's fine clothes.After removing the clothes, only the white shirt was left on Qinglian's body. Qinglian turned around, knelt down reverently, and said her final farewell to the country that raised him but was not his homeland.The early spring breeze passed, the cold weather was chilly, and a piece of yellow dust was raised. Over the low-lying pure white figure, the dust covered the joys and sorrows of 18 years of life.

223、Blood punishment...

Looking at the land behind her one last time, Qinglian suppressed the nostalgia in her heart. Although she was born with a tragic fate, there are still many people worth cherishing, and there are still cherished memories left here.Looking back on Qinglian's life, she finally recognized her adoptive father, worshiped a good teacher, was raised by everyone, and was respected by brothers and friends, but she was forced to separate from her mother and child, and she was still in pain; she admired freedom and self-reliance, chased after dreams and love, but unexpectedly From one cage to another bigger one, you have to bear the shackles of the world in the end.

Pious worship, Qinglian sends the most sincere blessings, and prays that this land will be blessed and long.After the ceremony was completed, Qinglian raised her body, turned around, and knelt down facing the green mountains and green waters of Yueguo, cast her eyes on Jiarui from a distance, and looked thoughtfully at Tie Suo who disappeared into the blue waves of Luoyue Bay.

There is no bridge deck, and the iron cables are immersed in the water and gently sway with the ripples. Even though several strands of the iron cables are intertwined, and there are many strands lined up in one place, but the bridge deck is not covered, how to walk on it is a problem.Such a situation is clearly a embarrassment for the people of Yue Kingdom, Qinglian is thinking about countermeasures, because no matter what, she must cross to the other side today.

After a while, Qinglian walked two knees on the beach to the water's edge, holding the iron chain fixed on the shore with her hands.
