cold night words

The first thing Bai Qian recalled after regaining her memory was the extravagant wedding between her and Ye Hua 500 years ago.At that time, Ye Hua had just woken up not long ago, and the joy of being lost and regained made her brain a little dizzy. Whatever Ye Hua said, she meant it.He said he wanted to get married, and she obeyed him.She thought about it, but they already had a marriage contract, everyone in the world knew about it, and getting married was smooth sailing.Moreover, I have been drunk and dreamed of him for the past three years, and I just hope that he will come back.Now that he has returned, all is well.As for the mortal Susu memories she got back when she smashed the Jiepo Lantern, and the angry words about how she wanted her to marry him, and those disturbing mundane things, it's over.

It was only a few days since Yehua came back to Tiangong to come to Qingqiu for employment.Looking at the various dowry gifts piled up in the fox cave, she seemed to understand Yehua's eagerness to get married.However, her parents and elder brothers will take care of such trivial matters as accepting employment or applying for a period, and she can just wander around leisurely during this period.

On that day, she found an acquaintance among the idlers waiting for her.When she saw Diefeng's familiar white clothes from a distance, she was sitting bored at the door of the fox cave, eating melon seeds.

When she saw the elder brother, she smiled and greeted him.

When Diefeng was in Kunlunxu, she was very kind, upright, and extremely prudent, so she respected this elder brother very much.

Diefeng saw her come running with a smile on his face, smiled and shook his head, "You, you are both married soon, and you are still so unstable."

Bai Qian took Die Feng's arm, took him to the courtyard and found a stool to sit with him, then smiled and said, "Brother is used to making fun of me. Even if I get married, I'm still Kunlunxu's little Seventeen, It's just the junior sister of the senior brother."

Diefeng was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to digest Bai Qian's self-proclaimed "Little Junior Sister", and then laughed at himself, "Look at me, it's been so long and I still can't understand. You are a 'Little Junior Sister', not Seventeen 'Junior brother'. I think it will take another few hundred years for this habit to change."

"It's okay, you can call it whatever you like, it doesn't matter." Bai Qian took the teacup handed over by Migu, and handed it to Diefeng with both hands, "By the way, senior brother, you are here today, but what's the matter?" something?"

Diefeng took the teacup and took a sip, "Of course I have something to do. I see that you have been very busy in and out of the fox cave these days, but you are very free. It is the most suitable time to deliver things."

Bai Qian also found a cup of tea to drink, found a stool opposite Diefeng and sat down, looked at him puzzled, "Send something?"

Diefeng nodded, put down the teacup, and a white bead melted in his hand. "I know that your Qingqiu is not short of night pearls, but this clam pearl was produced in the West Sea, and it has a long history. You are married, and as a senior brother, you don't have any valuables to give, so this clam pearl will be given to you. Do it as a wedding gift."

Bai Qian got up quickly, a little embarrassed, "Brother, how dare I accept such a valuable thing?"

Diefeng smiled and said, "You just accept it. Could it be that you dislike—"

"No, no, no," Bai Qian quickly took the beads, "Thank you, senior brother."

Only then did Diefeng feel relieved, "Your wedding is imminent, and it is reasonable for the brothers and sisters to send some congratulatory gifts. If you decline one by one, when will I be able to deliver the presents?" Yan Yan After that, they melted out of their palms the wedding gifts prepared by a dozen of their juniors, and handed them to Bai Qian one by one.Bai Qian took them one by one, and Migu carefully collected them, but she couldn't help wondering why these senior brothers didn't come by themselves, but made the senior senior brothers come here instead.

Diefeng smiled clearly, "The rest of Kunlunxu's disciples have their own affairs, so I will give these gifts to me."

Bai Qian nodded and said, "I've troubled Senior Brother to make this trip."

"It doesn't matter. You and God Zheyan were in the West Sea that year. Not only did you save your master, but you also cured your elder brother. Everything is a great favor to me. It is also worthwhile to make this trip." Seemingly hesitating for a moment, he cautiously took out a brown white pear wood box from his undergarment, held it in his palms, looked at her solemnly and said, "Seventeen, this one is ordered by Master repeatedly. I delivered it to you myself."

Bai Qian didn't dare to neglect, she quickly suppressed her smile, and took it solemnly, but she was a little puzzled, "Brother, what is this?"

Diefeng seemed to frowned, paused, and said in a deep voice after a long time, "This thing has been with Master for a long time, and it was given to Master by the Mother God in ancient times. This is the only thing in the world. Take it well, don't take it lightly."

Seeing Diefeng's expression, Bai Qian seemed to have something to say, and wanted to ask, but didn't expect Diefeng to get up and leave.

"Eldest senior brother!" Bai Qian called out, "Do you have anything else to say, Master?"

Diefeng had already walked a few steps, but he couldn't help but stop when he heard the words, turned around to look at Bai Qian, and sighed, "Seventeen, although Master didn't specifically explain anything, I have something to say. Master is very important... He has been with you since childhood, and has never left your side for a moment. Now that he has given it to you as a wedding gift, you must not let it out of your sight Wear it on your body every day to keep you safe forever."

"It's such a precious thing, why, Master..." Hearing what Diefeng said, Bai Qian suddenly felt that the box was much heavier.

Diefeng smiled and sighed, "You, you are indeed still the little Seventeen who is ignorant of worldly affairs and completely incomprehensible. You don't look like a princess concubine or a former queen of Qingqiu. Since the master will be so important It is because you are his most beloved disciple, and you have guarded Master for 7 years, and you have raised the immortal body of Master with your heart and soul, and you have devoted yourself to caring for Master when he wakes up early. This kind of affection, The master will never forget. Besides, your prospective husband-in-law is the younger brother of the master, and he has exhausted his cultivation for the master. The master is the most sensible, and the two of you are about to get married. It is also a gift for you to give this thing to each other. Within reason."

Sending off Diefeng, Bai Qian didn't recover for a long time.When Migu called her, she was saved from standing there for a long time.Fingers stroked the engraved carvings on the box for a while before opening the lid.Inside the box is an amber crystal clear exquisite jade yuan.The jade yuan that Bai Qian had seen were all ring-shaped, blue in color, and the quality of jade was definitely not so transparent. She never imagined that a jade yuan could be so small and exquisite, square without corners, and have such a luster.She held Yu Yuan in her palm and lightly brushed it with her fingertips.

It has been a while since Ye Hua woke up.She suddenly remembered that since Hua sacrificed to the Eastern Emperor Bell three years ago, she had rarely seen Mo Yuan.Even after we met last time, what I thought about all day long was Ye Hua's appearance when he returned.Once you have a husband, you forget your master. You are really an unworthy disciple.She secretly thought about it.The master presents this precious gift, and he must thank him face to face.

Diefeng said that this thing should not be separated from her side, and she should wear it on her body, so she called Migu to find the ribbon and embroidery thread.Not long after, she tied the jade yuan around her waist with a crimson tassel.When walking, this jade yuan appeared and disappeared between the clothes and skirts, and it was called by the white skirt, which was really beautiful.She felt very satisfied looking at it, but she didn't know that she would be lost, so she got up and lifted up the clouds, and went straight to Kunlun Xu.

It was already night when we arrived at the foot of Xushan Mountain in Kunlun.The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the ground is clear and bright, illuminating the stone steps up the mountain brightly.She has walked this way up the mountain for more than [-] years, and she has long been familiar with where it is easy to walk, where there are potholes, and where there is a steep slope.

When she came up to the mountain and entered the mountain gate, she performed a trick to temporarily hide her body.

The main hall of Kunlun Xu was brightly lit, and the brothers were still studying scriptures in the hall.I saw Diefeng pointing everywhere, but the upper couch was empty.Seeing that Mo Yuan was not in the hall, she felt a little puzzled.At this time in the past, Mo Yuan was indeed going to instruct all the seniors and brothers in the evening class in the hall.If he is not there, he must be retreating in the room.

However, Bai Qian searched all over the scripture hall, alchemy room, lotus pond, residence, and the cave where Mo Yuan often retreated, even the wine cellar where she used to get drunk when she was young, but Mo Yuan was still nowhere to be found.She stood on the spot and thought about it, and she got up and walked towards the peach forest on the back mountain.

The peach forest behind Kunlun Xushan is actually much smaller than that of Zheyan, but fortunately, it is open all year round.When she was still in Kunlun Xu, she would put a bunch of fresh peach blossoms in Mo Yuan's room every day. Over time, it gradually became the habit of their seniors.After she left Kunlunxu, the second senior brother took over this matter.At this moment, Mo Yuan is not in the hall, nor anywhere else, he is indeed in Taolin.

She came slowly under the moonlight, and heard the sound of the piano from a distance.She stood still not far away, and soon saw Mo Yuan's back.He sat alone under a tall peach tree, and the cold moonlight poured dimly on him through the sparse peach branches.Except for the golden silk crown, he only had his hair tied up simply, and he was wearing a dark robe, and he was playing the piano with his head down.Because his back was facing her, he couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment.Only the sound of the qin sounds calm and sparse, quiet and flat, vague and wandering, and the overtones are so low that they can hardly be heard.The state of "holding the falling moon on the strings, and piercing the cool breeze between the fingers" as mentioned in the Qin Jing is like this kind of strength of character.

Looking at the coldness and loneliness around him from a distance, Bai Qian's nose felt sour for no reason, and the eyes were filled with water vapor, and she couldn't help sniffing.

The sound of the piano stopped instantly.

She took a step back in trepidation.I think it's because I came to look for him rashly and disturbed his tranquility.Turning around to leave, but remembering his purpose of coming here, he paused.Will go or not go, hesitant.

"It's here, but why do you look like this?" Mo Yuan sighed deeply from behind.

Hearing this sigh, a tinge of heartache flooded through her heart for no reason, and it dissipated in a flash without a sound.

She tidied up her thoughts, raised her hand and put away the tactic, softened her complexion, put on a usual smile, turned around just now, and said with a smile, "Nothing can be hidden from Master."

Bai Qian saw that Mo Yuan was holding the qin, and he was only wearing a moon white tunic and a plain cloak. Although his complexion was the same as usual, his figure had shrunk a lot, and when the wind blew, the clothes were empty.Although it is true that it is immortal and free from smoke and dust, it is a bit deserted after all.Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little dazed.

"Your mind-wandering habit has been like a day for tens of thousands of years." Mo Yuan's face softened a little, "I will live elsewhere in the future, and my mind will be distracted like this, what should I do?"

"Master, don't worry, Seventeen will never lose Master's face." Bai Qian came back to her senses with a pleasant smile, "Even in the Nine Heavens, she will definitely not lose her sense of proportion."

"That's good." Mo Yuan caught a glimpse of Bai Qian's jade yuan tied around his waist through the moonlight, his eyes lit up a little imperceptibly, and he said with a smile, "Diefeng is indeed safe in handling things."

Bai Qian was thinking about how to find a way to talk about this matter, but Mo Yuan had already seen him, so she walked slowly to Mo Yuan's side, cupped her hands and said, "Seventeen came here because of this matter. This jade Yuan was too precious, and the senior brother said that the master had worn it on his body since he was a child. I thanked Master face to face. Master’s kindness to Shi Qi is as great as a mountain. Not to mention the 2 years of preaching and teaching, it is unworthy to be a disciple to worry about such mundane things. He also neglected to greet Master, and wanted to stay by Master's side again in the future, saying hello in the morning and evening, but he couldn't do it. Just for this, the disciple is even more disrespectful." Bai Qian paused, "I came to see you Master, I want to thank Master face to face. Disciples must cherish it and wear it on their body at all times, never daring to forget it for a moment."

Mo Yuan smiled slightly, and said lightly, "This jade yuan is indeed the property of the mother god. Back then, the mother god refined it to supplement the four poles of heavenly pillars, but found that there was an extra piece, so she polished it and gave it to me as a birthday gift. Gift. It is also appropriate to give it to you as a wedding gift. There is no need to make a special trip.”

"No, no, this trip is indeed necessary for disciples," Bai Qian shook his head like a rattle, "the wedding will be in a few days, and I wanted to thank Master in person when I poured wine for the auspicious ceremony. , but in the end I felt that I had to see Master."

Hearing what she said, Mo Yuan was silent for a while, without saying anything, just hugged Qin, and walked slowly towards the mountain.

Bai Qian followed behind him, and said a lot of words, Zuo just missed Master, wanted to see Master and other scraps of chatter.She only said that Mo Yuan would be as happy as usual, but she couldn't see his increasingly sad expression, and the coldness gradually accumulated between the frowning brows, like frost like snow.

500 years later, when Bai Qian stood on Lihentian's voiceless platform and recalled this period, she always blamed herself.At that time, because Yuqing returned her complement, she had already seen Mo Yuan's expression clearly, and also understood his thoughts and feelings, but it took another 500 years.

She doesn't quite remember when she returned to Qingqiu that day, she only remembers Mo Yuan standing in front of the door and saying in a low and faint voice, "It's getting late, you should go back soon." The lonely back has been lingering in her mind for a long time.

In the next few days, while she was bored waiting in the fox cave to try on makeup and clothes, she kept thinking about it.She always felt that there seemed to be an invisible gap between her and Mo Yuan, and the distance was getting farther and farther.After all, there was something different between them.

By the time we meet again, it is already the wedding day.

Her only memory of this complicated wedding ceremony is the figure standing far away in front of the sedan chair she saw when she passed by the Sea of ​​Rebirth on Yuze Mountain on the way to welcome her.Mo Yuan wore a gold silk crown, her hair was neatly tied into the crown, she was wearing a dark blue robe, and her long body stood tall between the sky and the earth. Her tall and lonely figure hurt her eyes hard. .
