When he stepped into the pass, his whole body suddenly felt cold, as if being washed by the cold and swift river very close from the outside to the inside.Ouyang Ting, who was full of thoughts, didn't notice it for a while, and was almost hissed by this shock.Before he could react, the cold feeling washed him mercilessly from the inside out again.

In an instant, that feeling had left him, and a layer of warm and bright sunlight gently caressed his hair between his brows like a silk wrap.The gentle breeze ripples and circles, bringing people to a wonderful scene.

It's like a bird's-eye view from the sky, and there are thousands of miles below.However, the clouds cover the fog, and the boundary cannot be seen.Hidden city sites are densely covered, like ten thousand stars.The only one among them was shining brilliantly, Ouyang Ting did not hesitate, and directly lowered towards that place.

Passing over the mountains, forests and valleys in a hurry, you can see that the big city stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, which can be called majestic and magnificent.After a few breaths, the high walls and broad walls suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Once I saw the palace, courtyard, terrace, and pools, the scenery blended with the mountains and rivers.The flags are flying, covering the beautiful sun.

Ouyang Ting walked along the white jade path in the middle, but he didn't see any living things except himself.However, with no heartbeat and no breathing, he is probably not a living thing... This silent movement, no, there is still the wind flowing between the curtains and gauze curtains of the pavilion, like whispers, like a low smile.

There is no need to think too much, there is only one road under your feet.

It's not that Ouyang Ting didn't try to step out of this bright road, but he didn't wait to take a step, whether it was in his heart or in his head, there was an idea to stop him from doing that stupid thing.There is no need to try again and again, and Ouyang Ting, who doesn't want to make troubles, won't ask for trouble.

Turning around the palace, a woman wearing an ugly crown and a dark curly train came up the road.She lifted her chin and raised her eyebrows into her temples.It seemed that her expression was haughty, but upon closer inspection, she could see that the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her eyes were very bright, as if something exciting was about to happen.Behind her are several women dressed as servants, some holding fragrant grasses, some holding cups and saucers with lacquer ears, and some holding various patterns and embroidered brocades.

Ouyang Ting didn't think about it for too long, he stood on the side of the road rather frankly.But this group of women passed by him as if they didn't see Ouyang Ting.The wind raised the sleeve of one of the maidservants, and the clothes brushed past Ouyang Ting's body, and then passed through him.

No, perhaps it should be said that it was Ouyang Ting who passed through her sleeves.

It felt a little indescribably weird.Ruoyan caresses the tip of the hair like the wind, and it is too warm, and if it is like melting snow sliding over the fingertips, it is too cold.

Ouyang Ting withdrew his gaze from looking at his elbows, and saw that the group of women had already walked away like flying.Then he encountered several teams of attendants.There are 20 people in the first team. The first thirteen people each hold a button bell of different sizes and a Yongzhong, and the remaining seven people work together in groups to hold several bell frames behind.

The rest of the group held music and dance instruments such as dragon seats, phoenix frames, drums, etc., or held seats and tables.One of them was holding a root-carved lacquered wood vessel respectfully, which looked like wood to ward off evil spirits.Ouyang Ting thought it looked like a four-legged longfly, with its head up and its mouth open, a few teeth exposed, and a short tail curled up. It was not known whether it was hesitating to move forward, wanted to retreat due to fright, or was planning some evil idea.In short, it is quite interesting to watch, so I can't help but take another look.

Behind these couples, there are several girls passing by with skirts, and the fragrance is bursting.There is even a young man named E Guanbo who walks respectfully with his belt, only the jade ring around his waist makes a pleasant sound when they touch each other.Ouyang Ting felt something, so he went with them.

Standing still in front of the altar of the nine-story hall, everyone tried their best to hold their eyes and hold their breath, but they couldn't hide their joyful attitude.Not long after, the sound of bells and drums came from the sky, Ouyang Ting raised his eyes and saw that the beautiful jade on the altar was already on the table, and the cup was filled with jade liquid.

The woman wearing the crown of embarrassment I saw earlier prayed after the sound of the drums, and the young men who were like rough jade took their positions, some holding drumsticks and beating instruments, some playing the yu zi, and the young men in various dresses. The girls danced around in accordance with the rhythm.

——Auspicious day, Chenliang, Mu Jiangyu, the emperor.

Caress the long sword and come to Yuer, and sing and sing to see Linlang.

Yaoxi Xi Yuzhen, Xi Qiongfang will be the general.

Hui delicacies are steamed with orchids, and osmanthus wine is served with pepper paste.

Raise the drums and blow the drums, slow down the festival and sing an songs, and Chen Yu se the grand advocacy.

Lingyan Jianxi Jiaofu, Fang Feifei Xi full house.

The five tones are numerous and complicated, and you are happy and happy. ②

I don't know if it's the music that is alluring, or the dance is confusing, but Ouyang Ting just feels that there is a burst of light from the east.The rich fragrance immediately filled the entire hall, and it seemed as if a god descended from the clouds.These people cheered and rejoiced when they saw it, and stared at the light, refusing to move away.Those eyes were shining brightly, some chanted aloud, some could not help but burst into tears, and some laughed wildly and joyfully, as if they were insane and unable to control themselves.

Ouyang Ting quietly looked at the man wearing the three-dimensional crown and the nine-color cloud suit sitting firmly on the cloud, and these people sang and danced wildly.The man was always smiling and calm.I don't know how long it took, the wind blew up and the brilliance dissipated. After many blessings, these people dispersed one by one. Many people looked back frequently, reluctant to part with a sense of loss.

At this time, Ouyang Ting realized that it was already evening here.He did not leave with these people, but stood still and waited.

After a while, there was a slight wind on his side, and Ouyang Ting respectfully bowed in that direction: "Father Yuanyang."

"Oh...that's a very old name. You should still call it as you are now." A baritone voice as pleasant as the sound of bells and drums said, "But it's hard for you to remember me, Kangsu Xingjun."

"I dare not forget." Ouyang Ting did not get up, but still said solemnly, "However, it is the wish of Prince Yidong to be backward."

The man laughed three times, stretched out his hand to support his arm to help him up and said, "Naughty."

The corners of Ouyang Ting's mouth couldn't help twitching, thinking in his heart that this is a big man who has lived at least [-] years old, and it seems reasonable for him to say "naughty".

"So, little friend Xingjun, why visit Kunlun?" The man said with a smile, and his eyes were also kind and caring.

Respect the sky in the name of the emperor, and worship in the east, so there is the emperor of the east.

The name of Tai Zhe Guang is one and the same.The avenue is magnanimous, and there are no shackles.All inclusive, all in one.

It is called the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"It's just a name. It's good to call it whatever you want. It's convenient for others, and it's convenient for yourself." Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Ah Bu, Eastern Prince and Ouyang Ting walked in the palace that seemed extraordinarily spacious and quiet at sunset.

Ouyang Ting respectfully slowed him down by half a step: "What Prince Dong said is absolutely true."

Seeing that he had no intention of getting straight to the point, Duke Dong smiled and said, "I think you've seen Ping Yi on the way."

"Yes, it is Yun Zhongjun leading the way." Ouyang Ting glanced at the blue waves passing by, the setting sun was reflected on the lake, dotted with brilliant golden light, "I have not thanked the East Prince for taking the time to see me."

"The magic circle at the pass is quite strange, and anyone with bad intentions would not come here." Duke Dong nodded slightly.

"I don't know who else is lucky here except for the underachievers?" Ouyang Ting asked as if he really wanted to know.

Duke Dong paused for a moment, with a look of reminiscing about the past: "I've been here before. It's just the vicissitudes of life, personnel changes..." He shook his head and smiled at this point, "No one who knows this place is an idle person. Why should people who are really idle choose to spend their time here."

"Thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of ravines, those who don't come will be stopped." Ouyang Ting said.

Dong Wanggong paused, with a look of inquiry on his face: "Xing Jun really thinks so?"

Ouyang Ting said calmly, "Yes."

Dong Wanggong looked at him for a while and then smiled: "So it's just you and me who are here now."

"It's a blessing to be late." Ouyang Ting bowed respectfully.

Prince Dong greeted him and said, "I don't ask what you don't want to say. As for what you may be looking for, it was indeed in the Kunlun Ruins." It is the Kunlun Ruins."

As soon as the voice fell, everything around him dimmed and faded as if rapidly eroded by time.The tall and majestic palace was infiltrated by the ominous light, corrupted and overturned, and the white water in front of him turned into a puddle of mud when he regained consciousness.

There are no laughter, singing, music and dancing, and the Nine Layers Palace is gone.

Only the altar was left standing alone in the sunset, as if lamenting the beautiful grass and jade that had been placed on the case table.They have all turned into unrecognizable grains of sand, blown up by the wind and scattered all over the world.

Prince Dong fixedly watched all this, and said in a low voice, "Desolate mound, desolate mound."

Ouyang Ting looked down at the mountains, rocks and yellow sand in front of his feet, but what he thought in his heart was that what Prince Dong said was indeed "once" here.

"Before you, today's Demon Emperor also came to ask for it." The East Prince didn't look at him, but just raised his eyes to look at the setting sun, "It's not that the Queen Mother of the West didn't give it, but...thousands of years ago, that thing was already asked for." went."

Ouyang Ting suddenly raised his head, the horror in his heart was beyond words.

Duke Dong shook his head slightly: "Half of that thing's aura is on you, come to think of it... After all, Da Si Ming is not as ruthless as he appears on his face."

Ouyang Ting felt a tightness in his throat, and his words were dry: "When Hou Jin woke up from the ghost world, he was indeed given food and drink by the order of the chief minister."

Dong Wanggong seemed to smile: "The God of Lord Shouyao may not be lifeless and unreasonable."

Ouyang Ting closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "But if you want to come, the person who asks for this is not the commander in chief."

"That's natural." Prince Dong flattened the corners of his lips, and seemed to glance at the sky inadvertently, "But now, the other half...is no one knows."

Ouyang Ting opened his mouth, but couldn't say another word.He stood still, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Eastern Prince quietly watched the setting sun finally set behind the mountains, until the darkness gradually rose, and there were faint stars appearing in the sky.Only then did he turn around and look at Ouyang Ting, but he didn't say what he wanted to say.I wanted to raise my hand to pat him on the shoulder, but finally took it back.He took a deep look at the young man with a bitter face in the twilight, turned around and disappeared.

What is Ouyang Ting thinking?

He was thinking that maybe he had really stayed in the world for too long, and had acquired some habits that talents would have.

For example, only people can talk about so-called logic and reason, but now he can only laugh at this self-righteous taking for granted.

For another example, only human beings are willing to pursue what is "prosperous in life and mournful in death" regardless of their own lives.Because only human beings will try to put themselves on a moral high platform (what they have done or failed to do) to judge themselves or another person.

He collected himself and retracted his endless reverie.Ouyang Ting looked up at the zenith, has the sky changed?

Has it not only changed, but also collapsed?However, there are always people who are good at mending the sky and will help the building alone.That being the case, why worry.

Ouyang Ting finally laughed when he thought of this.He laughed more and more, and even coughed and couldn't breathe.

The night wind wrapped around these voices and spread them far away.When the wind stopped, Ouyang Ting also decided to leave here.

His goal at this moment is extremely clear, even though he doesn't actually have much evidence, but there is only one direction in his heart that drives him forward.

It doesn't feel bad to just do something without thinking about it.What's more, before him, there was at least one other person who did this.

He has nothing to worry about.

The author has something to say: ① About wood to ward off evil spirits.In the past, there was a saying that this thing is a tomb-suppressing beast (of course, some people insist on this view now), but the current consensus in the academic circles is that it is a kind of shelter, which was used by the ancients to rest when they lived in seats. Auxiliary seat (Old L originally thought it was something like a cushion, but after seeing that this thing is made of wood, he only felt that the ancients had good health, after all, this thing is not soft to lean against).

As for the prototype of the root-carved lacquered woodware described by Lao L, it is exhibited in the Jingzhou Museum in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province.

②The first chapter of "The Songs of Chu Nine Songs", "Eastern Emperor Taiyi".It doesn't matter if the officials don't understand or don't want to look up the annotations. This article is probably about the joy and enthusiasm of the Chu people when they sacrificed.
