Sealing Sword

This should be early spring.

The spring ice on the water is broken, the willow leaves on the riverside are green, and when you hold your breath, you can hear the soft cry of swallows, and even the sound of wild animals in the forest coming out of their holes is very cautious, lest they will be wet by the unresolved frost and dew on the grass. The fur on the soles of the feet was removed.

After all things are killed, it is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

However, Ye Fusheng clearly remembered that it was late autumn before he closed his eyes, but when he woke up, he had passed through a season of severe cold, and it was the time when spring was expected.

He opened his eyes, jumped down from the big bluestone, and stood firmly on the ground with both feet, but he didn't feel at ease, as if the road was flowing and his feet were soft, and he didn't need to raise his hands and feet. "Floating" ahead, leaving everything behind.

The farther you go, the warmer the spring will be.

The inch-long grass gradually covered the ankles, the crushed ice on the river melted away, and there were wild ducks hunting on the water. Suddenly, a wild cat fell from the tree, rolled in front of Ye Fusheng, and ran away quickly.

The surroundings are bright, but there is no sun or moonlight in the sky, only a vast white cloudless curtain, which is dull and dull.

He smelled a scent of flowers, which came from the forest on the right side. He couldn't tell what it was. It was light at times, rich at other times, and gradually became intoxicating.

The moment Ye Fusheng was about to close his eyes again, he suddenly heard a human voice coming from far behind. At first, he could not hear it clearly intermittently, it tickled his heart and woke him up.

The road ahead is still far away, the end can't be seen at a glance, and the steps under his feet can't stop. Ye Fusheng wants to turn around, but he can't even turn around.Seeing that he was about to reach a fork in the road, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, grabbed his ear and pulled him around forcefully, deviated from the weird path, and stepped on the soft green grass.

Ye Fusheng was dragged staggeringly, so that he was hanging on the ground, the man squinted his eyes and looked down from above: "Stinky boy, what are you running around for such a big man? Be careful, you won't be able to come back! "

He sat down on the ground and looked up at the woman in front of him.Her long hair was tied into a high bun with a peach hairpin carved in ebony, matching her somewhat arrogant look in her eyes, the black long knife that she had carried with her for many years was missing from her waist, and a small wine pot was hung, and she was still dressed in the same suit. The crimson shirt was paired with black-patterned boots, but a black and white Taoist robe was draped over the shoulders, which looked a bit nondescript.

Ye Fusheng trembled all over, his eyes and pupils shrunk, his fingers dug into the grass, and when he lifted it up, he didn't even take a grain of spring mud.

Under the world, on the road to Huangquan, if you don't bring it with you, you won't take it with you when you die.

He had never understood it so well.

Seeing him dumbfounded, the woman bent down and raised her hands to pinch his face, and said with a smile, "Baby, look at you, I don't recognize you..."

"Master!" Before she could finish speaking, Ye Fusheng stood up suddenly, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he lost and regained after years, he was afraid that if he loosened even a little bit, he would lose it again.

He hugged Gu Yufang in his arms as he wished, felt his back was thin and cold, and had no vitality, but it made Ye Fusheng warm from the inside out, the frozen blood seemed to be thawed in an instant, and flowed from head to toe , like a resurrection from the dead.

Gu Jiefang is tall and not inferior to ordinary men. She was stunned for a moment, then pressed Ye Fusheng's head on her shoulder with her left hand, stroked his hair with her right hand, and said with a smile: "Grow up!" .”

With just three words, Ye Fusheng's eyes were blurred.

He was born of his own flesh and blood because of his parents, but he was born as a man because of this woman.

This is the closest relative of his life, and the most important thing in his life.

Gu Jiefang combed Ye Fusheng's messy hair with her hands, patted his back to signal to let go, then gathered the robe with one hand, untied the wine pot with the other and took a sip, saying: "Go back. "

It is said that a man bleeds but not tears, but Ye Fusheng's tears finally fell at this moment, his throat choked up: "Master, where do you want me to go back?"

"Go back wherever you came from." Gu Jianfang pointed to the front, "This is not where you should come."

At the intersection of the road, mist appeared at some point, covering the surrounding vegetation, earth and rocks, and it was empty and chaotic. Occasionally, a few shadows could be seen rolling around in it. From time to time, one or two arms were stretched out and waved in vain. go back.

Ye Fusheng suddenly felt a chill behind his back: "Where is that place?"

"A place where everyone wants to go... But it's not the time yet." Gu Yufang put down her hand, and raised the corner of her eyes, "It's so hard to see each other, why are you crying? There are a few things left and right, and most of them are babbling on my grave. Days are not enough, you still want to mess with my ears here?"

Ye Fusheng had a sore nose, and before he could open his mouth, he heard Gu Jufang continue: "The jackal is in power, God has no eyes, you were young at the time, and I couldn't do better than you if I put myself in the place, these years... are enough Yes. Manly man, if you can afford it, you must learn to let it go, it’s annoying to be too hypocritical.”

"Master, I'm not leaving." Ye Fusheng held her arm with both hands, and slowly squatted down, "I'll stay here with you, okay?"

Gu Jufang said unceremoniously: "I can swallow three bowls of rice for Duanqing, but what can I do for you?"

Ye Fusheng refused to accept: "I can accompany you to drink, play cards and talk in a book!"

Gu Jiefang smiled and said: "Then why don't you find me a disciple-in-law to have children, and bring the whole family to burn some paper money and sprinkle a pot of wine for me on New Years and holidays, wouldn't it be more fun for the whole family?"

Ye Fusheng was at a loss for words for a moment, the smile on Gu Jufang's face faded, and she looked at him almost solemnly.

After a while, Ye Fusheng lifted his clothes and knelt down, kowtowed vigorously to her, and said: "Forgive my disciple...for being unfilial."

Gu Jufang raised her eyebrows: "Where are you unfilial?"

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring." Ye Fusheng put his forehead on the ground, "A disciple who admires someone, does not marry a confidante, does not continue the incense, violates the last wish of the teacher, and is very unfilial."

Gu Jufang laughed angrily: "Guawazi, if you have the ability, say it again!"

"Disciple loves men, has no marriage and no offspring, this is one kind of unfilial piety; master-student love, betrayal and incest, this is two unfilial piety; teacher's disobedience, violating wishes and forgetting codes, this is three unfilial piety." The word Ye Fusheng After a while, "The three unfilial acts are all there, and they are all the disciple's fault, please master to deal with it!"

Gu Yufang didn't speak, the wind around him seemed to stagnate for a while, and the atmosphere was terribly condensed.

Ye Fusheng bowed his head to the ground, and did not move.

After a while, Gu Yufang suddenly lifted his foot and kicked him into the nearby river like a rolling gourd. The icy water surged from all directions, and Ye Fusheng was caught off guard twice before surfacing, and then the back of his neck tightened. He was dragged ashore by Gu Yifang by the collar like a drowned chicken, and thrown on the ground.

"Are you awake?" Gu Jufang said coldly, "If you still want to say something crazy, go down and wake up again."

Ye Fusheng choked on his saliva, and said, "Even if Master asks me to drink up this river, what I hear will remain the same."

Gu Huafang stared at him, and said sarcastically: "You are so infatuated that you don't change your mind, do you know if that person is like you?"

Ye Fusheng was startled, then smiled.

His smile is like a spring breeze blowing, with a light fluff in his hand, and a tree blooming with flowers, his gentleness is unbelievable. At this time, his eyes are bent, like the sun melting into the Crescent Lake. There are no birds, beasts, insects and fish in the water, and no flowers and plants supporting them. There is only one phantom.

Such a light shadow, like the foam on the water surface, may shatter and disappear in the blink of an eye, but sinks to the bottom of the water and stays in my heart.

Ye Fusheng smiled and said: "He is the same, I know."

Gu Yufang was finally at a loss for words.

"I heard him, he is calling me." Ye Fusheng turned his head, and all the scenery behind him turned into darkness. Only the square inch of land under the feet of him and Gu Yufang was still green, "Unfortunately, I can't go back."

The moment he saw Gu Yufang, Ye Fusheng knew where it was.

Facing the teacher who used to be yin and yang, he heard the voice of the most caring person, and understood the difference between life and death in this prison where he could not advance or retreat.

Ye Fusheng is not afraid of death, he just regrets it.

He was full of emotional entanglement and hadn't made it clear, and he hadn't brewed his thoughts, so Gu Yufang suddenly said: "Who said you can't go back?"

Ye Fusheng was taken aback.

"Walk a thousand steps in Huangquan, and never look back in the past." Gu Yufang said indifferently, "Just now you walked nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, if you cross the intersection with one more step, you will really not be able to come back."

One step away, so close to the end of the world.

"Heroes in this world are not easy to die, and they just treat them like home... But our ancestors were not cold, and your blood is still strong, wouldn't it be that wolves ruled the world in this world, and there are no good people anymore?" Gu Huafang shouted After taking the last sip of wine from the pot, the corner of his mouth twitched, "We old bones, but we have agreed to stay here, you bastards who dare to come one step earlier... are not allowed."

The jug fell to the ground with a crisp sound. At this moment, it was as if a thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the sky, shattering all the illusions and dreams.

Ye Fusheng's pupils constricted, he saw Gu Jianfang smiled slightly, his face and figure became blurred, only his voice was clear as before: "You are such an old man, it's better to know everything by yourself ...Just remember my words, sacrifice an extra jug of wine every year and festival, and also, take good care of your mistress."

Gu Jufang's voice completely disappeared after she finished speaking the last word, and as the strong wind rose to the ground, the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves could be heard endlessly.The tears in Ye Fusheng's eyes were blown away by the wind before they fell, the noise was deafening, and the lights and shadows were flickering. He saw familiar shadows passing by him one by one. , Immediately afterwards, everything was silent, only the originally vague call became clearer——

"Master!"

Ye Fusheng opened his eyes suddenly, the sunlight streamed in from the window, and suddenly fell into his eyes, a little painful, which stimulated tears.

He was so weak that he couldn't even move his fingers, but it was just a movement of opening his eyes, but it was immediately caught by Chu Xiwei who was guarding the bed. For a moment, thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and the tears on his face were still wet. His expression changed drastically, and his hand trembled several times before reaching out, but he didn't know whether he should touch him or not.

In the end, Chu Xiwei held Ye Fusheng's hand again, felt the fingers gently and forcefully gripped back, her teeth were clenched and she remained silent, her bloodshot eyes were all red now, and tears slowly fell like rain.

A drop of scorching tears fell on the back of Ye Fusheng's hand, and then one after another, his consciousness that was still somewhat dazed was instantly awakened.

It is said that only children who cry can eat candy.Chu Yao was squeamish since he was a child, and he cried out of respect when things happened, and he could often wait for others to follow his wishes, but when he turned into Chu Xiwei, he couldn't cry anymore.

Ye Fusheng was a little flustered, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only dryly squeeze out a sentence: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Seven days." These two words seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, and Chu Xiwei said in a very soft voice, "I took you out of the camp that night, and spent two days following the pursuers Hitting an ambush, trekking here for another three days, and guarding you here for a day and a night...for so long, you haven't woken up."

Seven days and seven nights, chasing life and death, Chu Xiwei followed Ye Fusheng every step of the way, but the latter didn't even respond at all. If it wasn't for the fact that Chu Xiwei knew how to swallow the medicine, Chu Xiwei might have gone crazy long ago.

There was no superfluous expression on his face, he just lowered his head and put Ye Fusheng's left hand on his hot and humid cheek, with a hoarse voice: "I called you thousands of times and said a lot, but you didn't reply a single word." I... I thought you wouldn't wake up."

Ye Fusheng's heart has just recovered, it is like spring mud melting into water, mixing into a paste that cannot be distinguished from each other.

He moved his fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of Chu Xiwei's eyes, and his other hand wrapped into rice dumplings barely supported the bed board and wanted to sit up, so scared that Chu Xiwei didn't even bother to cry, and hurried to push him back bed.

At this moment, Ye Fusheng pressed the back of his head with his left hand, and took advantage of the trend to draw the person towards himself, stuck out his tongue, which was dry due to the high fever, and licked the slightly moist corners of Chu Xi's eyes.

Chu Xiwei originally supported the bed board with one hand so as not to press him down, but at this moment her body stiffened and stood still.

The heart that was beating wildly suddenly calmed down under this gentle lick.

He didn't move, but Ye Fusheng's tongue had already slid all the way, licking off the tears on his face, prying open the lips and teeth that had bitten the smell of blood.

Chu Xiwei finally came to his senses, and supported Ye Fusheng's nape with his hands underneath, fiercely turned against the guest, entangled that dishonest tongue, wishing to swallow it, but always forced himself to slow down at the critical point .

Bitterness is the saltiness of tears rolled into the tip of the tongue, and sweetness is the fishy sweetness of saliva mixed with blood.

No one is to be outdone, and no one can bear to be taken lightly.

In the end, Chu Xiwei let go first. He raised his head, looked down at the blood on Ye Fusheng's lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing?"

"I'm thirsty, I need to kiss you to be comfortable." Ye Fusheng leaned on his palm, ignoring that he put his vitals between other people's fingers, and rubbed his arm sideways, with a smile on his pale face , "Have a glass of water, or I'll take another sip of you..."

Before he finished his molestation, his head had already returned to the pillow. Chu Xiwei didn't know whether it was in a hurry or shyness, and hurriedly left the bed, poured a glass of white water on the table, and warmed it up with the palm of his hand. Only then carefully helped him up.

The dull white water passed through his throat, but it brought out all kinds of mixed flavors, which made Ye Fusheng truly know that he was alive.

Chu Xiwei had been watching him drink water eagerly, but suddenly she was hugged by this person, and instinctively wanted to hug him back, and then remembered the wound on the other person's back, so she had to force herself to let go, but at such a close distance, Ye Fusheng heard Feeling the fishy smell and the smell of medicine on his body, his left hand could feel the bandage marks underneath through the clothes, and felt the same feeling belatedly in his heart, he pressed it weakly, and whispered in his ear: "Does it still hurt?"

Chu Xiwei didn't speak, he didn't like to make a sound when his temper came up, Ye Fusheng couldn't do anything, coaxed a few words but got no response, so he had to honestly hug him and stay still.

After he became quiet, Chu Xiwei finally moved.But seeing him lower his head and rub against Ye Fusheng's neck, like a cat that had to find a nest with difficulty, Ye Fusheng just swallowed back the sweet words full of searching, and almost choked.

"You're scaring me, Master." Chu Xiwei raised her head, broke away slightly, held his face in both hands, and said seriously, "What are you going to do in the future, what do you want to do, I won't stop you if I can't stop you , there is only one thing, you must know..."

Ye Fusheng raised his heart in his throat, and looked down at Chu Xiwei, obviously this person put himself in an unprecedentedly weak position, but at this moment, he felt the weight of a heavy burden from these words, He even forgot to take a breath.

"A man has aspirations, he has a responsibility to be a man, a chivalrous man has righteousness, and a scholar has righteousness. Since ancient times, life and death have been a dilemma, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness deserve to die, which is understandable, but..." Chu Xi smiled softly, her moist eyes were slightly red, "Although it is said 'I am lucky if I get it, my life is lost', but I never believe in the world and only you, so naturally... I can't live without you."

After a pause, he lightly pressed Ye Fusheng's head on his shoulder, and paused word by word: "If Jun Ruo will sleep here this year, I will not live alone in the spring of next year. If you really take a step first, walk slowly, and wait I'll take care of the funeral and come with you."

Compared with Ye Fusheng's eloquent lotus flower, Chu Xiwei has never talked too much, let alone said beautiful words.

Ye Fusheng suddenly had a sore nose.

Since ancient times, heroes are not easy to die, because our generation treats them like home.Life and death have never been taken lightly, nothing more than a dilemma of love and affection.

A great chivalrous man can die for the country and the people, but can he find someone who is willing to crawl back from the Nine Nether Yellow Springs for him?

The so-called coming from where it came from, going to where it went, and coming to the end is nothing but a falling leaf returning to its root.

Ye Fusheng raised his head and stared blankly at Chu Xiwei's eyes, his ears seemed to be blasted nine times and eighty-one times by a thunderbolt, for a while he could not ask questions, and could not hear anything clearly.

He just looked at Chu Xiwei, those pure and sincere eyes that have gone through vicissitudes of life are still the same to this day, there is nothing unfathomable in the eyes, and there is no temptation to seduce, only the shadow of Ye Fusheng is reflected, as if suddenly dotted on the dark night sky. A single star was not enough to illuminate the mountains and rivers, but it became Chang Geng Beichen.

Ye Fusheng's only movable left hand fell between Chu Xiwei's eyebrows, slowly smoothing the frowning brows, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

Fingers across the corners of the eyes and the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows, like a big river flowing into a small stream after diverting the mountains, gurgling, passing through countless years and ups and downs, finally stopped at the corner of Chu Xiwei's mouth, raised a finger, and pressed against his lips .

Ye Fusheng bent his peach blossom eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't say silly things, just smile."

Baishou once worried about the youth, and time does not allow youth to stay.

Nan Ke Meng wakes up and the brocade is broken, and the yellow beams are empty on the white jade building.

Could it be that the deep love is not enough, and the relationship has always been shallow.

It is planned to keep the two wishes together, and express the sorrow between the brows for a lifetime.
