"...It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, King Yue pulled out the sword at his side, and cut off the head of the third son of the Pingnan Palace with one sword, and blood splattered all over the place!" The storyteller patted Xingmu and said sonorously, "You Dao It is good and evil that will be rewarded in the end, not not retribution, the time has not yet come!"

"it is good!"

After the first section was finished, there was an overwhelming applause from below. Mr. Storyteller bowed his hands to the spectators and went down for an intermission.

The storytelling building by the Xianghe River in Tanzhou is as lively as ever, but the content in the building is no longer limited to the Romance of Xianxia as in the past.

As early as ten years ago, it seemed that everyone had acquiesced, and they all changed to the style of normal storytellers, and their level has not diminished, far better than other storytellers.

"The ones over here sound cool," the guest listening to the book said to his companion, eating melon seeds, "This place is so close to Pingnan, but the story of King Pingnan is still right, who would dare to leave it outside?"

The companions nodded in agreement.

At this time, a lazy boy's voice came from the next table: "It's all happened many years ago, it's nothing more than a slow update of this information, and the change is so slow..."

The spectator immediately turned his head and said: "Little brother, you can't say that. It's good to know the twists and turns of these high-ranking officials and nobles!"

It doesn't matter if it's slow or not, it sounds great!

"Speaking of which, Prince Yue is really powerful. Pingbei Dingxi, if you say to suppress the bandits, you will suppress the bandits. If you say to beat those northern barbarians, you will beat them all over the place. We haven't had such a prince in Dajin for many years."

"More than that, to be honest, in those years when the first emperor was in power, there were still half of the loyal ministers and good generals? This comparison..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, it's not good for people to hear you, talk about other things."

"I've been wanting to ask for a long time. We in Tanzhou have been rushing to arrange some... lights these days? Why?"

"Thousand Lantern Festival! Thousand Lantern Festival! I can't even remember this, how spectacular it is! I think it will become a famous scene in Tanzhou in the future! Once a year, there must be a lot of people there!"

"Famous scene? Such a money-burning festival is definitely not organized by our county magistrate, and I don't know where the big shots..."

The Taoist priest in red at the next table heard this and shook his head, drank the last glass of wine, counted the money and settled the bill, picked up his sword, turned and left.

He knows a lot of information, but it's a pity that no one is as talkative as others, and he can't tell a book, and he doesn't want to stay here, waiting for a few days to be there to be hated by others, and he will be angry with himself.

It seems that I haven't been back to the Northeast for a long time, so go back and have a look.

Yun Qingyue hurried to Tanzhou City on the evening of January 29th at the cost of skipping brunch and almost running to death.

After the handover over there was completed, he left Guan Beicheng and his guards behind him and asked them to return to Xiangyang.

From a distance, I saw the unclosed city gate of Tanzhou and the dazzling lights. The lights extended from Tanzhou all the way, along the Xianghe River to the distant mountains, and the fires shone like stars in the mountains.Yun Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and let the horse walk slowly along the river to Tanzhou. There was a lot of people's voices along the way, as if people from several nearby counties had gathered, and there were even people handing out lanterns along the road, playing and playing The children in the city wore all kinds of masks and ran around, and some people lowered the river lanterns down the river to pray for good luck in the future.

The lights of thousands of houses warm the spring breeze, and the world is a beautiful scene, what a scenery.

"It's not bad," Yun Qingyue thought, "but isn't there too many people? Xuanying doesn't like such a noisy place, right?"

He handed over the horse to the county magistrate who had been waiting by the city gate, and before the visitor started a long speech, he ran into Tanzhou City with oil on his feet.

Yun Qingyue was walking on the street, looking around at the figures around her, the bustling crowd almost automatically gave way to him.

Tanzhou City is not too big, and only one or two immortal cultivators can be seen occasionally on the street, but judging by their demeanor and temperament, it can be seen that they are not very old, and they are young people who came to join in the fun.

In the darkness, a blue shadow suddenly broke into the line of sight.

The fairy with white hair and blue clothes stopped in front of a stall, and many passers-by were secretly looking at him, but just one glance made the girls blush. The lights softened the fairy's cold appearance.

Looking at this scene, Yun Qingyue smiled involuntarily, and walked forward quickly with half anxiety and half warmth in her heart.

After listening to the stall owner's words for a long time, Yu Lin finally couldn't help it, and said, "I just took a look."

Why do you seem to want to sell all the stalls to me?

"No, just buy these two," Yun Qingyue took the money, took two well-made masks from the stall, turned around, met Yu Lin's slightly surprised eyes, and said with a smile, "Huh? Real person Yu Lin? What a coincidence! I can meet a real person here, it must be fate destined by heaven!"

Yu Lin: "..."

"I don't know if the real person is free." Yun Qingyue is like a disciple who stops a beautiful girl by the roadside, but the biggest difference between him and a disciple is his face, so this kind of behavior can be said to be flirtatious, "I... ..."

"Here, I'm looking for your money." The stall owner handed the money to Yun Qingyue, which perfectly interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere that just started.

Yun Qingyue was a little dazed after receiving the money, Yu Lin shook her head helplessly, and said, "You're still messing around all day after these days apart."

Yun Qingyue said: "Really, Daoist, it has been a long time, you know how much I miss you, after we parted from Chang'an, I..."

"It's not Chang'an," Yu Lin looked at him and said, "It's from here."

Yun Qingyue was startled, and Yu Lin took his hand: "It's been a long time, I'm back."

I have gone through a reincarnation from the age when I never met 500 years ago, and I came back to find you.

Yun Qingyue didn't know how much effort she had to suppress her last rationality, and didn't hug Yu Lin into her arms in the street.

The streets and deep alleys were empty at the moment, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside. Yun Qingyue hugged Yu Lin as if she had exhausted all her strength, and finally when Yu Lin also hugged him backhand His whole body trembled, and he confirmed the existence of this person like waking up from a big dream.

After the two separated again in Chang'an, Yun Qingyue went to deal with Pingnan's affairs, and Yu Lin went back to Huashan. It's only been ten days or so, and Yun Qingyue recovered without holding onto this meeting with Yu Lin at all. But at this moment, a great joy swept Yun Qingyue's heart, making him understand what it means to not see each other every day.

This is the person he loved in his flesh and blood, and now he has finally returned to him completely.

Yun Qingyue hugged her even tighter, as if she wanted to integrate Yu Lin into her blood and bones. The spine that had always stood upright seemed to be taken away suddenly, and her heart that had been empty all of a sudden stepped on the ground.

Yu Lin didn't intend to push him away either, and said softly: "Obviously I'm the one who should settle accounts with you, why does it seem like I'm bullying you?"

The account here, the account of the Temple of Sacrifice, was too late to settle at the critical moment, but he did not forget it.

"That's what it is!" This person knows what it means to beat him up, the villain complained first, Yun Qingyue raised her head, and said, "My real person, do you know what it means to be seen but not to be eaten? And this is not the point, I I've been beaten, Xuanying, you can beat me so hard, it's too much!"

Yu Lin: "..." Is he going too far?

Yu Lin completely ignored Yun Qingyue's last sentence, and sighed: "General, your subordinates know that you are here... are you crying?"

The supreme commander of the army of the Jin Dynasty, at this moment, actually dragged real Yu Lin to have an affair in a small alley in Tanzhou City. If any soldier saw it, his jaw would drop to the ground.

Yun Qingyue said casually: "They can't see... Let me hug you for a while, you will miss me."

One sentence suddenly hit the deepest part of Yu Lin's heart, Yu Lin subconsciously tightened his hands, the two hugged quietly for a long time, Yun Qingyue turned her face slightly, kissed Yu Lin's face, and lingered all the way down , whispered: "Brother Xuanying, why is it so easy to get red ears?"

"Yun Qingyue, don't be ridiculous... um..."

Yun Qingyue kissed Yu Lin's lips, pried open his lips with the tip of her tongue, and tightened the hand holding Yu Lin's waist.

Until a firework exploded in the sky at the end of winter, leaving behind a trail of smoke, Yun Qingyue let go of Yu Lin slowly, but did not let go of his hand, Yu Lin glared at him, and Yun Qingyue laughed.

He didn't know why, he just wanted to laugh.

Yu Lin turned his head, coughed lightly, and the side of his neck was covered with pink: "What are you doing here?"

Calling him here doesn't necessarily mean he's just standing still.

Yun Qingyue sighed: "Really, I can't fly. I drove for a long time to Tanzhou. I was exhausted. I didn't eat breakfast or lunch today..."

"Then what do you want to eat?" Yu Lin looked at the brightly lit street outside, thought for a while, and said, "There are quite a lot of shops outside, let's find one first..."

Yun Qingyue turned her side to block Yu Lin's line of sight, Yu Lin looked up at him, Yun Qingyue's eyes were extremely bright, she smiled with a very pure heart and gentlemanly demeanor: "The one in front of you."

Yu Lin was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he realized what the "in front of me" meant.

"...Are you asking for a beating?"

In fact, Yu Lin has long recognized what Yun Qingyue is in her bones. On the surface, Yun looks like a "beast in clothes", but in fact he is a rogue and a rogue. It is useless to play a rogue, so he started to play a rogue.

Although he is still restrained when there are people around, knowing that Yu Lin has a thin skin...but he can't control so much about that kind of thing.

Yun Qingyue knew that Yu Lin was not willing to beat him at all, so she knew how to push the boundaries, and whispered softly: "If the real person thinks that I am not good at serving, I can learn. What kind of real person wants? I can do it."

"..." Can't this mouth be sewn up?

"It's useless to sew," Yun Qingyue said as if she knew what Yu Lin was thinking, "I'll keep thinking about it in my heart."

Yu Lin gave up, turned around and walked out, Yun Qingyue followed, and said with a smile: "I can eat candied haws, but Xuanying still eats it? Little Xuanying likes candied haws, just like the big ones!"

The two of them struggled for a long time, and finally returned to the street from the alley. Even the most complicated Taoist robes of immortal cultivators are very light, and the cuffs of Yu Lin's wide sleeves are even wider than their waists. It was half covered, but it didn't attract attention.

And Yun Qingyue stuffed a bunch of candied haws in Yu Lin's hand.

"I feel like something is missing," Yun Qingyue bit off a hawthorn from Yu Lin's hand, with a sweet and sour taste in his mouth, he said, "I haven't seen Xinghui for a long time, what about others?"

Yu Lin said: "I made a mistake, let me punish and change back to my original shape."

In a state of clear consciousness, he hasn't eaten this kind of sweets for a long time, and he doesn't even remember that his teeth hurt when he ate them when he was a child.Yu Lin also bit off a hawthorn, and the familiar taste immediately spread in his mouth.

Only Yun Qingyue in this world can eat candied haws with him.

Yun Qingyue thought about it, and felt that it was good that Xinghui was not around at this time.

Yu Lin looked at the two masks Yun Qingyue was holding, and said, "I almost forgot, why did you buy them?"

Yun Qingyue lifted the two masks and said: "The painting is very pretty, what color are the fox and the deer with patterns on it?"

The patterns on the mask are smooth, revealing a bit of flirtatious and gorgeous feeling. It is really rare to have such a painter in such a small town.

"White fox and...the blue deer?" Yu Lin paused and asked in confusion, "How could there be a blue deer? Is this a re-creation by myself?"

Does this feel a little familiar?

The two stared at the two masks for a while, and looked at each other at the same time.

It really looks like you—the two saw this sentence in each other's eyes.

Yun Qingyue was the first to laugh, and Yu Lin also raised the corners of her mouth. Yun Qingyue smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence, I swear that I really bought it casually because I saw the pattern and didn't look at the color. Could it be such a coincidence?"

Yun Qingyue said casually, but Yu Lin stopped smiling: "Qingyue, I will definitely find a way to cure your eyes."

"...That's not important, my real person, what's important is you." Yun Qingyue shook her head with a smile, gently put the mask that could cover half of her face on Yu Lin's face, and said softly, "It's so beautiful, I have to hide it. I'll take it home and watch it alone."

Yu Lin touched the mask on his face, put the other on Yun Qingyue's face, and said: "It must be hidden, so as not to go out and harm other girls."

Yun Qingyue immediately said: "The real person thinks that I am good-looking and can praise me directly, and I will be very happy to accept it!"

"Who praised you?"

The surrounding crowd suddenly became agitated and walked in one direction in unison.

Yulin looked towards the end point where the crowds gathered, and saw a very tall wooden tower rising from the flat ground in the center of the city. An ever-burning lamp.

With Yulin's eyesight, he could see that the workmanship of this ever-burning lamp was very delicate, and there seemed to be some words written on the surface of the lamp, but was blocked by a figure, Yun Qingyue whispered in his ear: "That ever-burning lamp seems to be a prize for the event, It is said that there is also a bonus - whoever climbs the fastest and gets the lantern will be given."

Yu Lin glanced at him and said, "You seem to understand what's going on here?"

It was almost clear who organized the Thousand Lantern Festival in the city, Yun Qingyue touched her nose, and said like a wolf with a big tail: "Isn't there a bonus? I can make money to support my family...to support you."

Suddenly, a whisper came from behind the two:

"What did you say about this game?"

"You don't know? It's been an old tradition in Tanzhou City for many years. It only happens once in 30 years. I didn't expect to see it on this Lantern Festival. It's really worth it. Have you seen the lamp on the highest point of the wooden tower? Anyone He can go up and take off that lamp for his beloved, and then give it to the person he loves the most present, so many people are looking at it, what a wonderful thing... If only I could get it."

"Good idea, can you climb up?"

The voice gradually faded away, Yun Qingyue was shocked, and thought: "What a coincidence that happened?"

He built the wooden pagoda, but what about this tradition?

Zhixian, I have to thank you very much.

Yu Lin and Yun Qingyue were in completely different moods, and he suddenly felt bad, so he immediately tugged on Yun Qingyue's sleeve...but it was empty.

Yun Qingyue took off the mask and twirled it between her fingers. She had already run several feet away, she turned her head and smiled at Yu Lin, and shouted, "My dear, I'll pick the ever-burning lantern for you!"

"..." Yu Lin silently walked to the corner, watching Yun Qingyue "bully".

The competition has already started. There are more than a dozen people around the wooden tower, and a few have already climbed up. Among them is the little Taoist priest Yun Qingyue met on the street. Everyone crawled together in an ordinary way, the little Taoist looked down, found the person in the crowd, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, wait for me a little longer!"

The girl in the crowd said: "Be careful! Look under your feet!"

The little Taoist grinned, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the other side below. The little Taoist turned his head in surprise, and a white shadow skipped in front of his eyes.Yun Qingyue, who came from behind after a few strokes of light work, lightly stepped on the wooden pole, leaned there quite easily, and said to the little Taoist priest: "Young people, why worry, leave this to me."

The little Taoist blushed and said: "No! I want to give it to my senior sister. You are old-fashioned, you must be married, why are you robbing me!"

"... Hey, your idea is very strange," Yun Qingyue nodded appreciatively, and said, "But this is still mine!"

On the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant not far from the wooden pagoda, Zhixian, who had been poking around with his subordinates, finally saw the white shadow. He grabbed the subordinates around him and said excitedly like a girl in the middle of her idol: "That is Not His Royal Highness the King of Yue? Right?"

"It should be, I can't see the face clearly, but everything else is very similar."

"My lord is so skilled, so there's no need to worry." Zhixian nodded, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, "It's not in vain for me to waste so much effort... Hey, I got it, I got it!"

He was so excited that he almost spilled the whole cup of tea.

Yun Qingyue went up to the top of the tower lightly, took down the lamp, turned around and jumped without any hesitation.

The audience below exclaimed in surprise. In mid-air, Yun Qingyue borrowed strength from nowhere, stepped on her feet, and landed on the ground easily. There was no sound, and her figure did not shake a bit. He glanced thoughtfully at the ever-burning lamp in his hand.

The candles in the lanterns are very bright.

Behind him, a dead leaf blown by the wind fell to the ground—that was the strength he borrowed in the air.

Deafening cheers suddenly erupted from all around, and everyone who was having fun went crazy, and the magistrate on the second floor was excited... After all, he still didn't keep the cup of tea.

"Senior sister, I'm sorry." The little Taoist climbed down, walked up to the senior sister, lowered his head and said discouragedly, "I didn't get the lamp..."

The senior sister sighed, and nodded his forehead: "You only know Deng Deng Deng, you idiot."

Yun Qingyue didn't feel embarrassed at all, she waved her hand contentedly, stopping the cheers of the people around her.

Everyone fell silent, waiting to see who this person planned to wait for.

Yun Qingyue glanced across the crowd, stopped, and walked towards a place.

Someone inquired that Yun Qingyue seemed to be here alone, so many girls in that direction raised their hearts in their throats.

Yun Qingyue returned to Yu Lin without looking sideways, and held up the lamp. Everyone's eyes widened, and a needle could be heard in the surroundings quietly.

The senior sister's eyes lit up, she hugged the little Taoist's arm, and said excitedly: "Is that what I think?! Is that what I think?! Two handsome guys!"

The little Taoist: "...Senior sister, my flesh, you have pinched my flesh!"

Yu Lin lowered his voice and warned: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense." The lamp can be given, but keep your mouth shut, he knows Yun Qingyue too well, it will be no good if the corner of this person's mouth is picked!

With her back to the crowd, Yun Qingyue also lowered her voice in a polite manner, and said with a smile: "Where did this immortal come from? I just glanced at it in surprise, and I am very excited. This lamp is given to the immortal, and there are a few taels of sincerity on it. Immortal Can I accept it?"

——I walked from the abyss to the world. When I think about it, I just met you. I don’t have anything. Those gold, silver and jade are worthless to you and me. After thinking about it, this heart is my most precious thing One of them will be given to you.

Yu Lin: "..."

Everyone held their breath in unison, their gazes were all on the outstretched hand of Yun Qingyue, the county magistrate on the second floor had red eyes, thinking that if their lord was rejected in public, how could he help? People get the place back.

No one thought at all whether there was anything wrong with this scene.

Yu Lin looked into Yun Qingyue's eyes, took the lamp, and said, "Okay."

I caught it.

The cheers broke out again like a surging wave, Zhixian wiped off his sweat, and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, stop the people and let the prince withdraw!"

But in fact, Yun Qingyue and Yu Lin don't need to worry about him at all. The next moment, the two nimbly walked out of the crowd holding hands, not even a strand of hair was missing. ? Does it look like a guy who is obsessed with sex and mind?"

Yu Lin said: "You are proud, they can see your face."

He was still wearing a mask, Yun Qingyue said: "It's okay, just watch it if you want."

Yu Lin shook his head, but there was a smile on his face.

Yun Qingyue said: "Xuanying, there seems to be a place to put a lamp outside, shall we go and put this lamp?"

Yu Lin glanced at the inscription on the lamp, the light in his eyes flickered, and he said, "Yes."

It was only then that Yu Lin realized how hard Yun Qingyue had put her heart into it. Looking down on the hillside where the man said the lanterns were set off, there was also Jingyuan Village, which was also brightly lit.

There were not only two people on the hillside, but ordinary people were not as fast as the two of them. They all came here without going to watch the game, and no one paid much attention to the two of them.

Yu Lin took off his mask, staring blankly at Yun Qingyue, who had clear and handsome features.

The ever-burning lamp in his hand was extremely bright, Yu Lin said: "Qingyue, I have something to tell you."

"Well, what's the word?"

"...Qingyue, I'll give you my whole life," Yu Lin said with a natural smile, "You also give me your whole life, okay?"

For some people, the first sight is calamity, and the first sight is light.

Unforgettable, unthinkable.

That was the first time he was drunk. Before Yun Qingyue went to Xiangyang, Su Qing came to him specially.

"Realist Yu Lin should feel it? I actually failed to completely eradicate Yun Qingyue's disease back then, and then many accidents accumulated, and it was even more..." Su Qing paused, and sighed, "I am called a doctor in vain, but There is no other way, that guy won’t talk to you about this, only I came to you... Maybe it’s useless, but Master Yu Lin, Master Yu Lin, can you..."

"Can I ask you to save him..."

Yu Lin closed his eyes.

So, why did you meet so late?

Yun Qingyue opened her eyes wide, looking at Yu Lin who seemed to be covered with starlight.

That was his fairy, his god, his... lover.

After a long time, he smiled lowly: "Okay."

I am glad to.

"One word."

"A promise in this life will be fulfilled in this life."

When the time came, almost everyone inside and outside the city let go of their ever-burning lanterns, and the three thousand floating lanterns flowed along with the night, covering even the bright stars, turning it into another sea of ​​stars.

Yun Qingyue suddenly said: "Xuanying, happy birthday."

Yu Lin was surprised: "Birthday? It's not that day..."

"Xuanying doesn't remember now, but I remember before." Yun Qingyue said, "I asked Xuanying, who is 20 years old, but just in time for you to come back, I can finally say to you formally - happy birthday , I will help you remember every birthday of yours in the future."

Yu Lin's eye sockets suddenly became hot, and they were almost blurred when Yun Qingyue said the last sentence.

He is sure that his eyes are red now, and he must not look good.

But this is in front of Yun Qingyue, he is not afraid.

Yun Qingyue saw that Yu Lin's eyes were red, she stretched out her arms to hug the man, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Xuanying?"

The Changming lantern in the sky, the lantern that Yun Qingyue took down for Yulin, and the poem on the lantern that reads "I know the king's immortal bone without cold and heat, and we will meet each other for thousands of years" seems to be very special. striking.

"...that poem is one of my greatest wishes," Yun Qingyue gently brushed away Yu Lin's white hair from the temples, and said softly, "Another wish, I want to marry Le Xuanying."

"...Not already married."

Although... the face that was pressed that time was not right.

"That doesn't count," Yun Qingyue kissed his eyebrows, and said softly, "I have to give my most precious thing to my most precious person, so how can I do that?"

Yu Lin said, "The most precious thing?"

"My most precious thing is this heart and you."
