Peach Blossom Song

It is the time of year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

The flowering season at Guangping Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is a little later, and the peach blossoms in the garden behind the temple will bloom when all the flowers at the foot of the mountain bloom.Looking from a distance, the peach blossoms are dyed layer upon layer, like clouds all over the sky, or like brocade clouds, which are absolutely beautiful.

1000 years ago, Tao Yao Junyao reached a bottleneck in her practice and found it difficult to improve, so she went out to travel in the mountains, hoping to use the joys and sorrows of mortals to promote the way of her heart.She travels all the way, or crosses mountains and ridges, or crosses crowds, all at will, and she can go wherever her eyes can see.

One day, she came here one by one to make waves in the world.At that time, this place was still a barren mountain, with few people and animals, and the mountains and forests were everywhere.Junyao realized that the momentum here rises with the peaks, the lush forests are lush, and the air is smooth and smooth, which is Fengshui deeply full of Buddha's shadow, so she took root here, realized the Buddha's teachings, and cultivated the Buddha's relationship.

Over the past 1000 years, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and the rise and fall of the mortal world have changed several times. A city was built next to the barren hills that are rarely visited by people, and it gradually prospered with the flow of people. 600 years ago, a Buddhist temple was built on the barren hills. The cleanness of the Buddhist temple could not stop the rolling dust.

Jun Yao doesn't mind that her Taoist temple is intruded by the troubled times. The mortal world, the heavenly world, and the demon world seem to be distinct, but in fact they are closely related.Witnessing the various states of the world every day is also helpful for her to realize Buddhism.

After 1000 years, Junyao's Taoism has been fully cultivated, and the catastrophe is about to ascend. When the opportunity comes, her mood will inevitably become relaxed, and occasionally she will turn into a human body to debate Buddhist verses with the disciples in the temple.

This day the temple suddenly became busy, the monks in the temple were divided into two groups, one group swept the temple to remove dust, and the other group stood outside the mountain gate to persuade the pilgrims who came here to worship the Buddha, and cleared out the huge Buddhist temple.

Seeing this, Jun Yao knew that there must be princes and nobles coming here to worship the Buddha.

Although Guangping Temple has a small reputation, it is far less famous than the White Horse Temple in Beijing. If the princes and nobles want to worship Buddha, they would rather go to the White Horse Temple than this small temple on the mountain outside the city.Occasionally, noble people come here, and most of them are doing it to cover up their eyes and ears, and have secret talks with people here.

Jun Yao has practiced for 3000 years, and a mortal's life, to her, is just a flick of a finger, no matter how big it is, in her eyes, it is nothing but ordinary.I didn't care about it, I closed my eyes and realized Buddhism.

Near noon, a young man in royal robes walked into the temple.

The monks in the presiding temple waited for a long time, and when they saw the young man, they rushed forward to greet him, saying, "His Royal Highness is safe."

The young king's robes are luxurious, Xu Shi came here in a hurry, the robes were stained with dust, she described it as childish, her eyes were very clear, when she heard that the presiding officer was presenting the ceremony, she was not very self-confident, she raised her sleeves and returned the half salute.

Jun Yao opened her eyes and glanced at the King of Han in the void. She was startled for a while, and then couldn't help smiling. With her eyes, it was not difficult to see that His Highness the King of Han was a daughter.

His Highness the King of Han has a mortal body, but there is a 3000-year-old demon in this temple who has seen her.She pretended to be something in her heart, paced back and forth in front of the Daxiong Palace, walked around twice, then glanced outside the mountain gate, apparently waiting for someone.

In this way, there was a scene of incense sticks outside the Daxiong Palace, but the person he was waiting for was still missing. The King of Han frowned, a little anxious.

She took a deep breath, and seemed to want to relax, waved back and forth, and walked around the temple at will.It's just that His Highness the King of Han is obviously not a scheming person, she puts all her thoughts on her face, she is walking, but her spirit is restless, her eyes are looking forward, but her heart is not here, anyone can see His Highness was careless.

Walking and walking, I arrived at the back of the temple, and a garden full of peach blossoms suddenly bloomed in front of my eyes.The King of Han was taken aback for a moment, and then he showed a look of surprise, strode forward, wandering among the flowers, all the worries just now were swept away.

Jun Yao couldn't help chuckling, she has seen many people, there are heroes who have great talent and strategy, who are able to win the world, but fall short in the end, ruined tyrants, there are heroes who strategize, win thousands of miles, and finally win the world, and even more embarrassing , greedy and self-seeking petty officials, as well as sages who uphold integrity and live a long life, as for ordinary people, there are countless.

But such a pure and pure royal boy is rare.

It’s just that she has seen so much of the world, no matter how rare it is, it is normal. Jun Yao was about to look away and take a nap, but saw the King of Han strolling past a tree full of flowers, walked up to her, raised his head, curiously looking at her.

Jun Yao paused for a moment, but she did not look away, and lowered her head to stare at the little Highness.

The little Highness looked at it for a long time, and her little face gradually showed some doubts. She stretched out her hand and touched the trunk of the peach tree in front of her, very puzzled: "This tree is the largest and tallest, full of lush green leaves, and lush branches. But why didn't it bloom?"

Jun Yao shook her head, she has already left the four seasons, and it is up to her to decide whether to bloom or not, but she has been in Taoism for 3000 years, and she feels that she does not need to bloom again, so she has never bloomed a tree full of flowers every time it comes to bloom.

The King of Han seemed puzzled and worried, raised his hand to touch the hanging leaves, and muttered in a low voice, "But are you sick?"

The branches and leaves are all Junyao's body, and the King of Han's fingertips caressed them all on Junyao's body.Jun Yao frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased, just waiting for the King of Han to stop quickly.But the King of Han touched the leaf and didn't give up. He went to touch another leaf and said with regret: "It grows really well. If it can bloom, it must be the most beautiful."

Junyao is here, and there are monks in the temple to take care of her. It is an important place for Buddhism, and pilgrims dare not come here. She has never suffered such intimacy and frivolity in the past.

She was very displeased, and was about to cast a spell to make His Royal Highness retreat a little, when the presiding officer outside the garden led a woman in costume to come quickly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the King of Han was finally willing to let go of the leaf in front of him. He turned around and saw the person coming. She was overjoyed and said loudly, "Sister!"

The woman was also delighted when she heard the sound, and strode over, the host was very understanding, and led him to him, put his hands together, and saluted: "His Royal Highness is going to travel far, and His Royal Highness Puyang will take care of you, and there must be instructions. I dare not disturb you." The two nobles, take your leave first."

When Jun Yao heard this, she knew that this woman was the Princess Puyang who was very powerful in Beijing.

She is in the deep mountains and doesn't know the world affairs, but there are many pilgrims coming and going, and there is no shortage of scholars who talk about it, so she has some understanding of the current situation.

The first emperor respected etiquette and established the eldest grandson as his heir. After the first emperor passed away, the eldest grandson ascended the throne and became the new emperor.However, the new emperor is young and his reputation is not obvious. The uncles are young and powerful, and they have the heart of disobedience. In order to prevent the emperor from changing, the first emperor ordered several clan relatives to assist the government together with several courtiers. Among them, the eldest princess of Puyang is the clan leader in.

At this time, the eldest princess no longer had the power and power in the capital, but instead had a friendly look. She took the hand of the king of Han and said earnestly: "I was busy with government affairs in the past, so I didn't take care of you. Now you are going out of Beijing, hurry up." Come see me off, I hope you will still listen to my words."

The King of Han hurriedly said: "I am mediocre, and I can live comfortably in the palace. It is all thanks to my elder sister to take care of me. When the mansion was opened, my elder sister was also responsible for choosing the location of the palace, so that it would not be remote. I remember all these things. I want to travel far, I don’t know when I will see you again, but I will always obey my elder sister’s words.”

Hearing this, Pu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. In these years, she first helped the first emperor handle government affairs, and then helped the new emperor balance the situation. When they saw him in trouble, they raised their hands to help him, and when the trouble passed, they wanted to have a long talk with him, but they couldn't find the time. Over the years, the Puyang Grand Princess' Mansion and Han Wang's Mansion were really indifferent.

She sent a letter three days ago to see the King of Han here, but she wasn't sure if the King of Han would agree, thinking that he not only came here first to greet him, but also remembered all kinds of old things.

Pu Yang was relieved that she still had important matters in Beijing, and she could not delay for a long time, so she simply stated: "The court is still in turmoil, and the kings of Zong have left the town one after another. act recklessly."

The King of Han suddenly panicked: "General, will there be military disasters?"

Pu Yang nodded, only she knew that Brother Wang was simple-minded and had nothing to do with the government, so she didn't analyze it with her.Seeing that she was afraid, he comforted her: "When King Zong goes out of the town, it is a serious problem for the court, but it is good for you. You can stay out of the matter when you go to the vassal state. No matter which king raises troops, he will never come to embarrass you."

The king of Han kept his face blank and nodded in panic.She also knows that she is small and can't affect the general situation, and there may be no one to embarrass her, but even if she wants to understand this, she is still afraid.Not only worried about her own safety, but also worried about the situation of the Eldest Princess.She plucked up her courage and whispered: "I stay out of the matter, what about sister, you are in the vortex, how can you keep safe?"

Pu Yang's eyes softened, and he said to King Han: "I always have a way to protect myself. Don't worry about me, take care of yourself, that's the most important thing."

The King of Han nodded, his eyes were a little sad, thinking that he knew that he was weak and couldn't help much.

The Eldest Princess came in a hurry, there were still important matters waiting for her to deal with in the capital, and after giving instructions to the King of Han, she was about to urge her to leave so as not to miss Sutou.

The King of Han made up his mind and said with a blushing face, "I can't help you much, but if my sister can help you, I will do my best to support you."

Jun Yao couldn't help but shake her head, the words of His Highness undoubtedly dragged herself into right and wrong from a pure place.After thinking about it, she felt that it was quite rare. She was obviously so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still made such a heavy promise, which shows that she actually had courage in her heart.

The children of the Xiao family in Beijing were fighting against each other, the clan kings were at war with each other, and the new emperor was even more incompatible with several uncle kings. Such a situation did not happen overnight, but must have been caused by years of fighting each other for profit.In such a situation, what His Royal Highness the King of Han is worried about is neither the instability of the government nor his own gains and losses, but whether Princess Puyang can save herself in the end.

At the other end of the garden, there was a flute sound.Spring and Jingming, the peach blossoms are burning, accompanied by the melodious sound of the flute, it is really a rare and elegant thing.

Both Pu Yang and the King of Han looked calm and listened attentively.

The sound of the flute is melodious, the sobbing is moving, and the meaning in it is really elegant, like a solo in the deep forest under the breeze and bright moon, without the noise of the world, without worrying about the world.

When the music stopped, at the end of the garden, a boy came slowly pushing a wheelchair.

On the wheelchair is a Gao Shi in a crane cloak. Gao Shi is elegantly dressed and has a very beautiful appearance, like a crown jade, like a bright moon, and the peach blossoms in the garden are flying brilliantly.

When Pu Yang and King Han saw this person, their countenances changed drastically, King Han showed fear, Pu Yang was much more restrained, but he slightly loathed and despised him.

Gao Shi looked over indifferently, raised his sleeves and saluted: "I have seen His Highness Puyang, I have seen His Highness King of Han."

Pu Yang said: "Mr. Wei is exempt."

Other than that, there is no other word, obviously he does not want to talk to him.

Wei Xiu didn't care either, she shifted her eyes to the King of Han, and said with a smile: "Xiu is here to clean up for a few days, and I don't want to disturb the two Highnesses saying goodbye here."

The king of Han forced a smile: "Sir, you speak seriously." Except for this sentence, the rest dared not say anything more.

Pu Yang knew that this person was full of tricks, he had no plans left, he must have a purpose in coming here, after being treated coldly, he smiled and said to him: "It is fate to meet Mr. Wang, I have finished my goodbyes with Brother Wang, how about Mr. Come back to Beijing with me?"

Wei Xiu's eyes flicked across Puyang's face, as if she wanted to move, but the movement was only momentary. After a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "Princess Eldest Princess is always tired of seeing the show. If we go back to Beijing together, won't it make His Highness bored all the way?" .”

Although the two were both assisting the new emperor, they had been at odds for a long time. Puyang thought that although Wei Xiu single-handedly transformed the emperor from the unknown eldest grandson to winning the favor of the late emperor, and then to winning the reserve position, she made great contributions, but after the emperor ascended the throne, she Everything he did was to alienate the emperor from his clan and courtiers.

But the two were in the same battalion, even though they were at odds, they maintained a peaceful friendship on the surface, when Wei Xiu suddenly revealed the truth, Pu Yang couldn't answer for a moment.

Seeing that Pu Yang didn't refute, Wei Xiu lowered her eyes and smiled, the smile seemed to have a bitter meaning, she said slowly: "The capital is a place of right and wrong, Your Highness never thought of leaving?"

Pu Yang looked serious, not knowing what she meant.

Wei Xiu said again: "Always, disasters are not afraid of being outside, but within the Xiaoqiang."

Pu Yang was thoughtful.The so-called Xiao Qiang refers to the palace wall, Wei Xiu is implying that the emperor already has ill intentions towards her?

That's all Wei Xiu said, she has always done things to the point, but today, somehow, she added another sentence: "Your Highness, think carefully and make a decision early."

The two have always been at odds, even their political views are often at odds, and they have been fighting for a long time in the court. How dare Pu Yang believe Wei Xiu's words, she smiled lightly, talked about him from left to right, pointed at the King of Han and said: "The King of Han My young brother is pure and innocent, and he is afraid of being deceived by others, if you are really concerned, sir, why not take care of him more."

When Wei Xiu heard this, she knew that the princess didn't believe her, a look of disappointment flashed across her eyes, she looked at King Han, didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

After being disturbed by Wei Xiu, it was difficult to continue talking just now, Pu Yang and the King of Han said: "It's getting late, it's time to set off."

The servants at the side heard this and brought water and wine. After drinking, it was regarded as farewell.

Pu Yang had something urgent to do, so he went down the mountain first, and Wei Xiu left right behind.The king of Han couldn't stay longer either, thinking about Puyang's words just now, her mood was agitated for a while.But thinking of leaving Beijing, I feel very sad.

Turning around to see that peach tree, the garden is full of peach blossoms blooming, competing for splendor, only it is deserted and deserted, with only one tree with green leaves, and I suddenly feel that it is as lonely as myself.

The king of Han walked over, wanting to touch its leaves again.

The breeze suddenly blows, and the branches and leaves rustle.

The king of Han was about to touch the green leaf with his fingertips, but he missed it. The leaf seemed to be in front of him, but it was at a higher place. The king of Han stood on tiptoe, trying to touch it, but the leaf was so tall, why? Can't touch it either.

The King of Han frowned, he had obviously touched it just now, why couldn't he touch it.

The family orders outside the garden called again and again, and the journey was imminent, so there was no delay.

The king of Han was very upset, he stretched out his index finger and poked the tree trunk lightly, and when he hit it, the king of Han bent his lips, changed his poke to caress again, and said: "It's a pity that you are so good-looking, but you can't bloom. It's a pity, I will Please entrust the monks in the temple to take care of you, and in the coming year, you will be able to bloom like other trees."

It's just that even if the flowers are full of branches next year, she probably won't be able to see them.

Luoyang is her hometown. After going there, she doesn't know when she will be able to return to her hometown. The King of Han looked sad again: "The mountains are high and the water is far away, and the sky is far apart. I hope you and I will meet again one day."
