Kyushu lonely mountain snow

The distant mountains are stacked, the snow is thousands of miles away, and the boundless goose feathers and heavy snow are falling one after another, covering the sky and covering the earth.

Xiao Ziyi stood in front of the window, tightened the neckline of his cloak, looked at the snow flying outside the window, and sighed leisurely: "It's snowing again..." His white breath quickly dissipated in the air.

"Isn't it the same in your hometown?" By the fire in the house, a young man in a black robe sat on a wide chair covered with a thick velvet blanket, propping his chest with his hands, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, it's freezing cold all year round." Xiao Ziyi closed the window with a snap, turned around and said with a smile, "Do you want to drink? Teacher Ji's newly brewed drunken flower wine has a calm taste and a long aftertaste. You must like it."

"It's up to you." The young man said lightly.

His face was covered with a mask, and the black mask covered the upper half of his face, only revealing a pair of clear and deep eyes, reflecting the faint firelight in the furnace.His pale to almost transparent complexion also reflected some warmth under the firelight.

"I said, Pope, have you been alone in the 17 years before we came here?" Xiao Ziyi asked someone to get the wine, then took out a set of wine vessels from the cabinet, and placed them neatly on the table.

"I'm not the only one here." Gu Qiulian turned sideways, took a sapphire-colored wine glass, and rubbed it in his hand, "Although Chenyue has fallen, there are still thousands of believers."

Xiao Ziyi also sat down at the table, and smiled maliciously: "Do you usually talk to them? More importantly, will they drink with you?"

Gu Qiulian glanced at him sideways, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, "Of course not, anyway, I've gotten used to it for so many years, it's nothing. It's better than being imprisoned in the palace and not being free."

Xiao Ziyi seemed to be choked for a moment, and was stunned for a while, his expression suddenly became a little sad, he just stared at the wine glasses, and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qiu knew that he had inadvertently talked about his pain, so he turned to talk about the set of wine utensils, "These jugs and wine glasses, did you bring them from northern Shanxi?"

Xiao Ziyi came back to his senses, nodded and said: "At that time, I was in a hurry, and I only picked out valuables to take away. I thought that I would use them up on the road, and I could use them as money. But in the end, I didn't give up. This is a luminous cup. .”

"Luminous cups?" Gu Qiulian raised the cups to his eyes and looked carefully, "Unfortunately, next time you drink at Zuihuatai, don't forget to bring them."

"Okay." Xiao Ziyi replied simply.

Gu Qiu glanced at him, "Still thinking about the past?"

Xiao Ziyi shook his head and sighed: "Everyone had their own sufferings in the past, so why mention it again. As long as it's better now, it's better."

"Kill Lu Meishan to destroy the eunuch party, and kill Bai Shidao to destroy the Zongsi party. This is the so-called 'Qing emperor's side, revitalize the court', return power to the emperor?" Regardless of the heavy snow falling outside, Long Yun locked herself in the warm room. In the hut, muttering to the book by candlelight.

"But he played with the princes again, using the barbarian forces to weaken the princes' forces... Could it be that this is also to make the imperial capital's family stronger?" She scratched her head.

"What... is it good for him?" Long Yun was a little ashamed, "What the hell is he trying to do?!"

Recently, she immersed herself in the mountain of books, reading a lot of history of the Sunflower Dynasty and Chenyue classics, just to find out the significance of what the Chenyue Sect did in the Sunflower Era.

Long Yun was adopted by Chenyue since she was a child, and has lived in this deserted snow mountain for more than ten years.Although she didn't go down the mountain many times, she really liked the warmth and liveliness of the towns down the mountain, far better than the bleakness and loneliness of this snowy peak.

This snow peak is the habitat of Chenyue, and it is said to be a sacred place.But in Long Yun's heart, this is really a ghostly place where birds don't shit and chickens don't lay eggs.Although it is a secluded place far away from the mundane world, there is no singing of birds and flowers, and even the running water is frozen into solid ice. It is a harsh winter all year round, and it snows heavily from time to time.Standing on a high place and looking around, everywhere is monotonous white, without any vitality.

Chenyue Sect seems to have preached the so-called "Longevity by Eliminating Desires" in the Sunflower Era. Of course, in Long Yun's view, her colleagues are more pure-hearted than the other.Only she herself, who loves sensuality, is incompatible with this sect.Those believers are all courteous and gentle, only she herself, as if she hasn't grown up yet, plays her temper from time to time, and often makes jokes.

But Long Yun was very open minded, she felt that in this dead and deserted place, it would be a good thing to have a little guy like herself to entertain everyone and adjust the atmosphere.So much so that most Chenyue believers wear black and white or dark robes, but she prefers to wear red dresses, running around like a ball of flames.

There is a distinct hierarchy within Chenyue Sect. Leaving aside the Pope, Dean, and Priest, the believers below are divided into five ranks, from top to bottom are "Xu Zang", "Zhi Shou" ", "Sixuan", "Knowledge", "Tingyi".But Long Yun is neither high nor low, and is in the rank of "Sixuan".A few years ago, she had accepted the array of secret rites and practiced the Dao of Yanghuo of the Yu Fei-Taiyang lineage. This lineage of secret arts is mainly based on fire spells, which is very practical on this cold snow peak.

The Dao of Yanghuo already has a strong offensive power, and Long Yun seems to be very talented in secret arts. So far, she has never encountered a colleague who is more powerful in secret arts than her.Even some Xu Zang who are two levels higher than her are slightly less powerful than her in performing secret techniques.For this point, Long Yun herself was also surprised.

But the problem is, as a Chenyue believer, she has nothing else to praise except for her extraordinary power in secret arts.Especially in terms of comprehension of the teachings, everyone recognized that she was the worst.Long Yun was very depressed about this for a few days, and then decided to look through the history books and classics to find out what Chenyue's teachings were all about.

However, this is really not an easy task.

After burying her head in the sea of ​​books for many days, after all kinds of entanglement and confusion, Long Yun has almost collapsed.

She counted the time and decided not to torture herself with these books, it was time to clean the drunken flower table.

Speaking of which, the place where Chenyue lives in seclusion is not useless.For example, this Zuihua Terrace is a good place like a fairyland in Taoyuan, but ordinary believers like Long Yun don't have a chance to go there.

Zuihua Terrace is a forbidden place of Chenyue Sect. On weekdays, only the head of the sect can come in and out at will.However, because the flowers fall there all the year round, it needs to be cleaned regularly. As Sixuan, Long Yun can get a glimpse of the true face of the forbidden area in the name of cleaning.

She and several colleagues take turns cleaning the Zuihuatai every month, and must go there on the specified date and time. Her time is arranged at noon on the first day of each month, and the Zuihuatai is always empty at this time.

Long Yun still remembers the feeling of surprise and shock when she first went to Zuihuatai a few years ago.

She never thought that there is such a beautiful fairy land in the cold and monotonous Chenyue Snow Peak.

Zuihua Terrace is located on the top of Xuefeng Peak, and you have to go through 99 steps shrouded in clouds and mist to get on the stage.The milky white mist was so thick that people couldn't see the way forward and where they came from. If ordinary people were trapped in it, they might fall down the stairs several times.Fortunately, Long Yun is not an ordinary person. She only needs to use a little secret technique and light a small fire to illuminate the surroundings, and she can safely get on the stage and see the peerless beauty.

When she stepped onto the last step, the mist that was still lingering around her body just now disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a clear vision in front of her eyes.In front of her was a small bluestone table with the stone platform as a seat. She raised her eyes and saw the huge sacred tree that shed flowers all year round. The tree was full of peach blossoms, spreading like an umbrella cover, covering the entire drunken flower table. under the canopy.The sun shines down like broken gold, the scenery is bright and blurred, the peach clouds are all over the sky, shining like haze.

No matter how many times she's been here, Long Yun can't help but stop and stare for a long time each time, reluctant to leave.This colorful and splendid beauty of falling flowers can never be seen in the boundless snow field below the stage.

Today, she also lingers here for a long time. Although the cleaning has been completed, she just doesn't want to leave, wishing to do more work here.

In a daze, she vaguely heard the sound of gurgling water not far away.It's like a stream falling into a mountain stream, tinkling, clear and pleasant.

Long Yun couldn't help but look at the path covered by vegetation behind the sacred tree. Through that path, you can reach a more secret place in the forbidden area. It is said that that place is called - Water Sky.

Although she came to Zuihuatai to clean it every month, she never thought of venturing into the water and sky, after all, it was a forbidden place that she could not even go to.But today, for some reason, she seemed to be possessed, and no matter what, she wanted to see what the sky in the water looked like.

Anyway, no one will come here at this hour, so it shouldn't matter if you just take a look, right?

With such thoughts in mind, Long Yun walked towards that path step by step.

Passing through the path, in front of you is a bluestone slab bridge that slopes downward, with gurgling water under the bridge, and the end of the long bridge seems to lead to a hidden valley hinterland.

Strangely enough, the climate here is different from the snowy area under the platform. It is a mild and cool climate, so that the stream does not freeze and the vegetation grows luxuriantly.For Long Yun, who lives in the cold and snowy region, this is really a holy place to visit, but it's a pity that such a good place is forbidden.

With resentment in her heart, Long Yun angrily walked down the long bridge.

The sky in the water, as the name suggests, is the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds on the water surface.

On the day Long Yun broke in, even though it was still snowing outside, in this forbidden area, the sky was bright and clear, the day was clear, and thin clouds were floating in the sky.

This is probably an illusion created by some mysterious technique of strange powers and gods, just like the Tianxu in the imperial capital back then, and the sea of ​​emperor hibiscus flowers that flourished outside Tianqi City but disappeared in an instant.

In the water and sky, there are cranes living together.

When Long Yun stood at the entrance of the valley and looked in, those white cranes standing or lying down were not disturbed, they just cast their indifferent eyes on her, their posture was still lazy and leisurely.There are also a few white cranes playing in the lake water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, breaking the waves of the pool.

However, even this fairyland-like grand scene failed to attract Long Yun's attention.

Because she saw that in front of the stone tablet by the lake, surrounded by several white cranes, there was actually a person engraving words on the stone tablet wholeheartedly.

That person was nothing more than a teenage girl, dressed in a gold-rimmed black dress, with the stars and moon emblems embroidered with silver silk thread, looking retro and gorgeous.Even more peculiar is that her hair turned out to be white.

Long Yun stayed there for a while.

When Bai Chuyan noticed someone coming in, she stood up and turned to Taniguchi, and the white cranes around her also dispersed, looking for a place to rest.

Long Yun forgot about other things, just looked at the person in front of her, was overwhelmed by an invisible aura, and couldn't speak.

This person, Qiushui is a god and jade is a bone, and his eyes are so clear that he seems to be able to see through everything.

The author has something to say:
