Leisure

It took nearly two months to sort out the affairs of Liu Yuan's family, and the Eastern Desolation God Lord has not come back in these two months.Wanxi went to South China Sea once during his stay. The person who received him was the second prince of the South China Sea, Binggu. Now, it’s vaguely in the direction of Mount Da’an.” His speech and demeanor resembled Bing Xiao’s, but it was much gentler and more immature than Bing Xiao’s.Wanxi asked again: "Has Brother Bingxiao come back, and I haven't seen him for a long time." Bingxiao's younger sister, the third princess of the South China Sea, Bingwen, happened to come, and replied on behalf of Bingyu: "My eldest brother and Brother Haohan haven't seen each other for a long time. I've been back."

Wanxi nodded, said goodbye and left.As soon as she got a firm foothold outside the gate of the small courtyard, Shu Xin opened the door the next moment. Inside the door, Shu Xin squinted her eyes and smiled. On the stone table was an exquisite breakfast, beside the table was a sleepy Yuan Ming.Shu Xin smiled and asked: "Are you back?" That kind of smile always made Wanxi feel that Shu Xin should know something.Inexplicably guilty.

Later, Wanxi went back to Da'an Mountain while Yuanming was asleep.To say that being able to use one's own spiritual power at will is such a great feeling!

When he returned, Heng Jun was sitting by the stream weaving wreaths, and beside him was a human-shaped rabbit. Due to his lack of skill, he still had two huge rabbit teeth, which looked cute.The sudden appearance of Wanxi startled Heng Jun a lot, and after the shock, he pinched Wanxi's cheek with one hand: "Why didn't you say anything when you came back? The God of the East Desolation said that he accepted you as a disciple, and now it seems that you have really grown up !" Habits from childhood, even though Wanxi has lost the baby fat, Heng Jun still can't change it.

Wanxi changed her posture and rested on Hengjun's lap. She could see the starry sky of Da'an Mountain, and she always felt that it was much more beautiful than what she saw outside. "Auntie, my master hasn't come back for two months. I said earlier that I traveled to the South China Sea with Si Ming Xingjun for seven days. It's been two months. I went to the South China Sea once, and Bingyu said that my master left very early. His old man Have you come to Da'an Mountain?"

Hengjun frowned: "Have you been to the South China Sea?" Wanxi nodded: "Yes, I have." Seeing that Wanxi's expression was normal, Hengjun felt relieved, and replied: "I haven't been, Dasong said The place where the God Lord of Guodonghuang lives is called Xiaoyao Tiangong, if you are worried, go and have a look." Wanxi nodded: "I haven't seen what the heaven is like. But I have seen the palace in the world, aunt, are you Situ Hengjun, Princess Yongning of the Tang Dynasty, right?"

You must have never heard the word Situ Hengjun for hundreds of years.There was a place in my heart that seemed to be scratched lightly, and it was very itchy and painful.Wanxi looked at Heng Jun's expression carefully: "Auntie, you have to tell me first what you want to know, you have sent me to the capital without saying a word, let me fumble around, what do you have to get?" when?"

After a few words, Heng Jun seemed to be lost in thought, and Wanxi waited quietly, holding a carrot in his hand to feed the little rabbit who couldn't speak human.

Hengjun straightened Wanxi's hair for a while: "It's all happened a hundred years ago, where did I start? My father's name is Situ An, and the Tang Dynasty was passed from the hands of the father to the hands of my father." , more than 200 years ago. The Tang Dynasty at that time..."

At that time, Tang Dynasty was still prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it was almost defeated.Ministers from all walks of life in the imperial court form cliques for personal gain and intrigue all day long. When different forces make trouble, they don't care about the survival of the people at all.After Situ An succeeded to the throne, he wanted to rectify the court, but the forces in the court were deeply intertwined and mobilized his whole body. Situ An was a cautious character, but he had too many scruples, and he did not dare to act drastically.Annoyed, he goes on a tour in disguise and meets a woman in Daocheng who is arguing with someone in a teahouse. Situ An stops to listen carefully and finds that the girl's thinking coincides with his own, and even some insights are superior to his own, the emperor.Overjoyed, Situ An took the initiative to chat with the girl. This day, he chatted from the middle of the day to the sunset. It was not until the girl's family came to look for her that Situ An knew that she was the only daughter of the former Zhennan General.

Later, Situ An lived in the general's mansion for half a month, and when he returned to Beijing half a month later, he immediately issued an edict, making Xue Yinglan, the daughter of the Xue family, the queen.Xue Yinglan is insightful and decisive. With her help, Situ An's rectification plan has also improved.But the good times didn't last long, and the ministers soon realized that the existence of Queen Xue was a big trouble for everyone, so some people began to play, demanding that the queen be abolished in the name of the queen's interference in politics.Situ An was able to suppress this kind of thing at first, but then it intensified, and finally developed to the point where someone wanted to end Queen Xue himself.Situ An killed the palace maid who poisoned Empress Xue with his staff.The ministers squinted at the pile of blood and flesh in front of the hall, and there was no pity or regret in their eyes.

Later, Queen Xue became pregnant.Situ An finally couldn't bear to put the queen in danger again.So regardless of Queen Xue's objection, she was sent back to Daocheng to raise her baby.After nine months, Empress Xue gave birth to a daughter. Situ An took the mother and daughter back to the palace and named the daughter Situ Hengjun, with the diminutive Yongning.In order to protect the mother and daughter, his behavior became more and more cautious.

Such an emperor can't suppress those rebellious officials and thieves at all.Empress Xue's persuasive persuasion was ineffective, seeing the court becoming more and more chaotic, she knew in her heart that the Situ family's power was coming to an end, and she was not afraid of dying with her husband, but she felt sorry for the child in her arms.With such an idea, Empress Xue often asked Hengjun to live in Daocheng, thinking that even if something happened to Naive, this child didn't grow up in the palace, he could always survive outside, and Daocheng was far away from the capital. It's just a very ordinary town, and it's easier to escape from Daocheng than from the capital...

Ever since he was a child, Heng Jun ran between Daocheng and Beijing, and spent more time with his grandparents in Daocheng than with his father, queen and queen.Other princesses are weak and weak. Heng Jun started boxing with his grandfather at the age of three, practiced swordsmanship at the age of four, and singled out the children of the villagers at the age of five. He was never defeated before the age of eight.The first time I failed was when I met Ming Yuan.

Ming Yuan is the grandson of Dingguo Gongming, the old general, and the third son of the Zhenyuan General of the current dynasty. He has a great-grandfather in his ancestors, who was the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, and he has a hereditary title.The old general Ming lived in the capital for most of his life. When he got old, he suddenly missed the people and things in his hometown, so he just left, packed his luggage, and returned to Daocheng with his beloved grandson.

There is only an alley between the Ming family's old house and Xue's house.When General Ming took Ming Yuan back to Daocheng, it was Heng Jun's eighth birthday.The old general looked around Heng Jun for a while, then patted Ming Yuan on the head and said, "Brother Xue, your granddaughter is a good teacher, let her do two tricks with my grandson." After hearing this, Heng Jun did it openly A "please" action.Ming Yuan looked at the little girl in front of him and asked, "Will you cry?"

Ming Yuan was ten years old this year, and he understood a truth, if a girl says she won't cry, she doesn't necessarily mean she won't cry.

Heng Jun is a victorious character, he always wants to win back once he loses, so from then on, he wakes up at sunrise every day to practice martial arts, goes out to fight with Ming Yuan after breakfast, and eats lunch at Xue's house or goes to Ming's house They ate together, then ran away without a trace after eating, and at night both of them came back with a lot of color.Old Madam Xue looked distressed, and persuaded: "Sister Ning, why don't you forget it?" Old General Ming also patted Ming Yuan on the shoulder: "Next time give way to Sister Ning!" But the next day, the two People still came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Asking Mingyuan what happened, Mingyuan said: "She won't let me."

Asked what happened to Heng Jun, Heng Jun said: "We still didn't win today!"

After a long time, everyone got used to it. The two children fought hard during the day, and went out together holding hands at night. The two bought a roast chicken to eat. Occasionally, they stopped fighting. At first glance, what was embroidered on the purse was a big knife; Ming Yuan painted Heng Jun's portrait not far away, with Heng Jun's extremely tangled expression.It's been like this for four years.When Heng Jun was 12 years old, Situ An took Heng Jun back to the capital, and Ming Yuan went to Beijing with him, becoming the prince's companion.

Two years later, Ming Yuan joined the army and officially became a soldier. Heng Jun sent Ming Yuan outside the city, then turned around and went back to Daocheng to find his grandparents.When I saw Ming Yuan again, he had succeeded his father and became the Great General of Zhenyuan.

It was at this time that Bai Zhiyi appeared.

In my impression, Bai Zhiyi and Ming Yuan seemed to have appeared in Daocheng one after the other. Not long after Ming Yuan came back, he was taking Heng Jun to eat on the street, when he suddenly saw a peddler holding a jar and went to the same place. The young man bumped into him.The young master couldn't dodge in time, and the jar shattered to the ground, and the peddler squatted on the floor amidst the jar fragments and white powder, crying loudly: "This is my year's expenses! These pearl powders are my family's silver for a year!" ! You pay!!"

A very old-fashioned way of touching porcelain.

The young man looked innocent: "My little brother, you hit me."

Heng Jun looked at the side for a while, then stepped forward to pick up the peddler: "I have a lot of good doctors in the general's mansion, if these are not pearl powder, why don't you eat the pieces of the jar together?"

The peddler was startled and forgot to howl.Ming Yuan stood quietly behind Heng Jun, saw the peddler's eyes were erratic, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, so he squatted down, twitched a little powder, sniffed it, tasted it with the tip of his tongue, and then picked up a fragment: "Eat it, this is flour."

The peddler's feet softened and he knelt on the ground.The young man patted the flour all over his body and smiled: "Forget it, I'm not going to take this as an example. I'm going to be indifferent, thank you two for your help!"

Maybe it was the time when the flowers were blooming at that time, maybe it was the sunshine that day was so beautiful.In short, Bai Zhiyi's smile left a deep mark in Heng Jun's heart.It's quite normal for young girls in their prime to be easily attracted to handsome boys.That night Hengjun and Mingyuan were gnawing on a chicken leg alone, Hengjun asked Mingyuan: "Suzhi, do you believe in love at first sight in this world?" Mingyuan asked back, "Baizhiyi?" Hengjun put the chicken leg into his mouth After a while, he hummed vaguely, turned his face and pretended to look at the distant scenery.It was the first time Ming Yuan saw the shy look of the youngest daughter on Heng Jun.

And then, God seems to know Heng Jun's mind very well, Daocheng says it's not big, it's not small, but it always meets Bai Zhiyi at unexpected times.

For example, during the martial arts competition with Ming Yuan in the suburbs, Bai Zhiyi suddenly rushed over to "help", and then apologized to the two of them embarrassingly: "I'm really sorry, I passed by here and thought someone was bullying Miss Situ, so..." Or buy candied haws on the street, just bought the last one, and heard the cry of a child within two steps, someone comforted the child softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, I will take you to find out if there are other places that sell it. Candied haws, buy them and take them home to eat with your sister." Turning around, it was Bai Zhiyi, leading the eldest grandson of an old lady on the street.

Heng Jun said to Ming Yuan: "Don't you think we are destined?" Ming Yuan frowned and did not answer.

A few nights later, General Ming and General Xue were playing chess in the yard, Mrs. Xue was bringing Heng Jun to paste a kite beside, Ming Yuan and Bai Zhiyi supported each other covered in blood and entered the room. come.Heng Jun only looked up for a glance, and his heart was completely flustered, and tears fell down uncontrollably. Ming Yuan looked at Heng Jun, hesitant to speak.Bai Zhiyi twitched the corner of his mouth weakly: "It's okay, Suzhi's injury is not serious." After speaking, he fainted.

It was inconvenient for Heng Jun to watch while Bai Zhiyi was bandaging, so he went to the next door to find Ming Yuan.Ming Yuan half-lyed on the bed, quietly looking at Heng Jun with red eyes.After a while, he reached out and patted Heng Jun's cheek: "It doesn't hurt too much, it's okay." Heng Jun nodded, obviously absent-minded: "I don't know how he is."

Ming Yuan looked at the top of the bed: "Xiao Ning'er, don't trust Bai Zhiyi too much."

Heng Jun looked up: "He just saved you."

Both Xue Ming and his family sent people to investigate what happened that day, but they still didn't know who was attacking Ming Yuan and Bai Zhiyi. A few days later, the imperial court issued an edict calling Ming Yuan back.Heng Jun followed Ming Yuan on horseback, turning his head three times a step at a time.Ming Yuan reined in the horse's head: "If you are really worried about him, go back. I have some skin injuries, it's okay, but Xiao Ning'er, don't trust him too much. Those people clearly came for him that night Yes, his background is anything but simple. Do you remember?"

Heng Jun nodded, and went back home without stopping.

Bai Zhiyi lives in the old house of the Ming family, and stays with the old general Ming.When Heng Jun returned, Old General Ming and Bai Zhiyi were sitting by the flowerbed chatting, and they seemed to get along very well.As soon as he looked up and saw Heng Jun came back, Old General Ming said sourly: "With the little brother of the Bai family, Sister Ning will not let our family go back." Heng Jun hugged Old General Ming's arm with a blushing face: "Grandpa Ming, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Bai Zhiyi is an interesting person. He lived in the Ming family's old house for more than a month, and he was unanimously affirmed by my grandparents and grandpa Ming. Everyone said that Bai Zhiyi was a good boy. I really don't understand why Suzhi let me Don't trust him. At that time, I thought, it doesn't matter if his background is not simple, as long as he is a good person. Someone came to report more than a month later, saying that Suzhi offended my mother and was demoted to the southwestern border by her. I think it's unbelievable, retrospectively, she acts cautiously and has a tolerant personality. My mother is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. On the night I decided to leave for the capital, my grandfather fell ill, and Bai Zhiyi said he would take care of me. Let me go to Beijing with peace of mind. But my grandfather is getting old, how can I have the heart to leave if I don’t see him well. The solution is that I give the token to Bai Zhiyi, and ask Bai Zhiyi to take my letter to my mother. Help me to find out the whole story. Bai Zhiyi is a talent, my father needs someone like Bai Zhiyi, I also introduced Bai Zhiyi to my mother in the letter, I hope my father can reuse him."

"After Bai Zhiyi left, my grandfather's condition gradually stabilized. There was no reply from Bai Zhiyi for a long time. I told my grandpa and grandma that I would go to Beijing in person when my grandfather recovered from his illness. But I didn't When we entered Beijing, news came from the capital. The person who sent the news was my mother’s close maid, Yuegu. Her distressed appearance made us all uneasy. She said that someone had rebelled, and the rebels beat us. The banner is "Bai", and their leader is Bai Zhiyi, let us escape quickly. The letter from the queen mother was hidden by her body, and it was already wet with sweat when she took it out. I wrote it in a hurry. The queen mother said, Ning'er, run away, go to the southwest, find Ming Yuan, he will protect you."

Wanxi held the little rabbit in his arms: "So at that time, my aunt's mother relegated General Mingyuan to the southwest just to leave a way for my aunt?"

"That's right, the queen mother pushed Su Zhi far away, and let him hold a heavy army. It probably means that the fate of the Datang Dynasty is at the end, and she wants to keep the last bargaining chip, but the queen mother must not have thought that this bargaining chip will come. It was me, the first princess, who used it so quickly and ruined Tang Dynasty with my own hands. Wanxi, can you imagine how much I hated Bai Zhiyi in my heart at that time?"

Wanxi stroked the little rabbit's ears and nodded.

Heng Jun smiled and continued: "Not long after Aunt Yue arrived, Bai Zhiyi's team arrived in Daocheng. I wanted to take my grandpa, grandma and Grandpa Ming to escape together, but my grandpa is still ill, so I can't escape at all. Grandpa Ming has been a general all his life, and the enemy is not willing to be a deserter no matter what. Grandma pushed me and Yue Gu out of the door with tears in her eyes, saying that as long as I live, they have nothing to worry about. I have no choice but to I can run. Yuegu pulled me and ran all the way up the mountain. I couldn’t tell the direction at all. I only saw the fire dragon in Daocheng that was gradually approaching the old house of Xue Ming’s family. I have been on the mountain with Yuegu for a long time. Yuegu’s age It’s not too young, and gradually I can’t walk. I was also very tired at that time, and I carried Yuegu on my back, and the two walked very slowly. Later, I accidentally rolled down the hillside, and Yuegu never woke up again. I buried Yuegu hastily, kowtowed in front of Yuegu's grave, and said that I would bring Mingyuan back to avenge her. I guess there must be arrest warrants in the city at that time, so I didn't dare to take the big road, all the way I walked along the mountain. I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally couldn’t hold on anymore.”

"When I closed my eyes and opened them again, what stood in front of me was Black and White Wuchang. I knew at that time that I must be dead, but I was not reconciled. Hei Wuchang said that nine out of ten dead people are not reconciled, If there is any grievance, go to the underworld and wait until the enemy's life is over, and go to the Hades to confront the judge together. If there is a grievance, then it will be clear. But I can't listen to it. Bai Zhiyi, how can I treat him well? Let him enjoy his life! So I grabbed the mourning stick of Black and White Wuchang and beat them. The attack on Bai Wuchang was especially hard, because Bai Zhiyi always liked to wear white clothes. Arrest me, I happened to hide in the temple of An Lao Mountain God, and was rescued by An Lao Mountain God."

Wanxi pressed Heng Jun's head on his shoulder: "Auntie, what do you want to know, just tell me, and I will help you!"

Heng Jun put his arms around Wanxi's waist: "Auntie didn't love you for nothing. Not long after you went down the mountain, a new ghost came to the school, saying that there was a male ghost who refused to be reincarnated on the road leading to the underworld. He described it as vaguely Bai Zhiyi's appearance, he said that the male ghost was waiting for someone... I didn't want to talk about my past, I wanted you to see it yourself, and decide whether you want to avenge me. I raised you and brought you For 30 years, you have never done anything to hurt others, but this time, if he is Bai Zhiyi, I hope you kill him, and his soul dies, I want him to be wiped out."

The little rabbit in his arms probably thought the place was too crowded, so he slipped off Wanxi's lap and ran away hopping. Wanxi asked, "Auntie, but when I went to the capital, I had no magic power."

Heng Jun stood up and took two steps, then turned around: "Wanxi, I know you are unusual, once when I was a child, your cry shattered the ghost who came to arrest the soul, and I stood beside you at that time , but as a ghost, I didn't feel any discomfort. At that time, I guessed that you could control your own power, and you should be protecting me. Only I know about this, so I know you are unusual, and I never thought about it before I want to use your unusualness to do something for me, but knowing that Bai Zhiyi has not been reincarnated...Wanxi, you can still choose to help or not, I will never force you."

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Wanxi got up and patted his clothes: "Who will I help if I don't help you? Auntie, I have to go back first, so I can only go to Xiaoyao Tiangong to find my master another day. Your daughter-in-law will probably wake up." Already!"

As soon as the words fell, there was no trace of Wanxi in Da'an Mountain. Heng Jun was stunned for a long time before he realized: "Stinky boy, tell me clearly, what kind of daughter-in-law! When did it happen! When will you bring it back to see!" Echoes echoed in the empty mountains.Da Song came out sleepily from the mountain temple, Heng Jun glanced at the sun that was about to appear on the top of the mountain, and went back to the cave.
