Magic Palace Fengyue series: After the flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Ximen Duohong pricked up his ears to listen to the ballad, and walked slowly forward with both feet, but what he heard was not some lyrics he knew. Desolation welled up in my heart.

The lyrics are not long, but they are hummed repeatedly. The lyrics are beautiful, and the tune is also sad. The song is: "Look at the river going east, how many sons and daughters in the world have been buried. A lifetime of infatuation and love, I have paid for the moon, the moon and the full years." The beauty turns white hair, the hero cooks wine and wears cold clothes, lamenting the disappointment of the youth, and no one picks up the flowers falling in the wind. Burn incense and worship the moon, and ask the Bodhisattva: May there be a time in the next life, let me laugh at the flowing water Luohuachun will not go."

"Jingxiang..." Ximen Duohong couldn't listen anymore, the sentence "There will be a time in the next life, let me laugh at the water and the flowers and spring will not go away." His whole heart was pulled together, never The majestic palace lord who thought singing and dancing were just for entertainment, almost made tears come from this line of lyrics.

He called out suddenly, and sure enough, the singing not far away stopped abruptly.Through the moonlight, Ximen Duohong saw Hua Jingxiang holding a familiar big urn in his hand, and he was sweeping the snow off the plum blossoms into the urn.

"Duohong, why are you here? You're really capable, you can find this place too." Hua Jingxiang smiled helplessly.But seeing Ximen Duohong striding forward, his expression was a bit unkind.

"Although the snow has stopped, the weather is still cold. Why did you come to this place? You are obviously weak, and you don't know how to cherish it. If I don't pay attention, you will ruin it." Ximen Duohong gritted his teeth, his tone But full of concern and helplessness.

"My own body knows it, don't forget that I'm a doctor." Hua Jingxiang smiled, greedily looking at the face of her lover's hidden anger under the moon: "Okay, Duohong, don't be angry, I'll do it for a while Just go back. Look, is the moonlight tonight the same as that night?"

Ximen Duohong wanted to drag Hua Jingxiang away, but stopped after hearing his last words.

Looking up at the moon in the sky, and then at the silvery white on the ground, it was indeed similar to that night five years ago.He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "It's true, what's the matter? Why did Jingxiang suddenly become sad? I've never seen you have such sad emotions."

"As a human being, there will always be sad times. Sometimes, even if the sadness comes out of nowhere, you just can't help but let people feel sad from it." Hua Jingxiang held the jar, and gently tapped it with her spring onion-like fingertips With a brush, a few bits of snow on Mei Rui fell down.

"Flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year." He sighed softly, and instead of looking at Ximen Duohong beside him, he just said softly: "Duohong, let me do it for a while, who knows next year Could it be me who is standing here?"

"Jingxiang, what's wrong with you today? Don't say such things that make me flustered." Ximen Duohong noticed something unusual, and quickly hugged his lover: "In this plum garden, who else is there besides you? You are mine Lover, this is the plum garden, the owner of the entire magic palace, if you like plum blossoms, let’s have someone plant dozens of them in the yard, and make a small plum garden, okay?”

"I'm just talking, why are you so nervous?" Hua Jingxiang smiled softly: "I was thinking, we have a lot of things to do in the magic palace, maybe next year I will hand over the work to the servants .”

Fearing that Ximen Duohong would become suspicious, Hua Jingxiang knew that she couldn't help herself. Although she had made perfect preparations for tomorrow's scene, she still couldn't help revealing the truth in her heart on such a moonlit night. idea.

"That's a good idea. Let the servants do it. Your health is not good." Ximen Duohong felt that what Hua Jingxiang said made sense, so he let go of his doubts, and radiated body-protecting skills to warm the surroundings for Hua Jingxiang. In the cold air, he said softly: "Did you suffer from heartache again today? That's why I can't help but think about these messy things."

"Whoever said that, I haven't committed a crime for more than a year." Hua Jingxiang speeded up the movements of his hands, and the body temperature emitted by Ximen Duohong made him feel warm. He wanted to greedily absorb some more, because from tomorrow onwards, this man , this man's arms will no longer belong to her.

Ximen Duohong just quietly accompanied Hua Jingxiang in the forest, walked for a long time, until the middle of the night, Hua Jingxiang, who had already collected two urns of plum blossom snow, reluctantly left the plum garden under the pressure of her lover.

"Duohong doesn't stick to trifles, so I'm impatient with tea tasting, but I know that he likes this plum blossom snow tea very much in his heart. I'm leaving, and I'll get him an extra urn so that he can drink more in the future , you have to be obedient, melt some more water, and then it will be fragrant, so that every time Duohong smells your fragrance, he can't help but think of me."

Under a big pear tree, Hua Jingxiang buried the two urns of plum blossom snow silently, while talking to the two jars with a voice that only he could hear.In the end, I couldn't help laughing at myself, shook my head and said, "Well, after all, I'm still a selfish person, I only want to let Duohong not forget me, but I don't think about it for him. If this hatred can't be forgotten, he will How painful."

After burying the last handful of soil, Hua Jingxiang stood up and looked up at the thick pear tree. After a long time, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she murmured: "I will collect plum blossom snow for him this year, but I don't know what will happen in the future." In the years, will there be someone who loves him so much and is willing to endure the cold to collect snow water for him? Will there be someone like me who cooks a pot of fragrant tea when he is happiest or most tired, alas, In the depths of love, it turns out that an inch is worth a million strands, why...why can't I let go, this...reluctant to leave?"

While talking, he couldn't help but burst into tears, when he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, he quickly wiped away his tears, turned around, and sure enough, he saw Ximen Duohong striding towards him, and shouted: お稥 "Jingxiang, you He is not good, he ran out early in the morning, when will the snow be buried? Be careful if you catch the wind and cold, you will suffer again.”

Ximen Duohong was indeed worried about Hua Jingxiang's body. Because it was too late last night, the two just hugged and slept together. Who would have thought that this disobedient lover would come out to bury the plum blossom snow when he was practicing this morning. If someone hadn't informed me, I don't know how long he would stand here obsessively.

"Okay, what are you afraid of because of the wind and cold for a while." Hua Jingxiang smiled softly, and straightened the belt of the cloak for Ximen Duohong: "Let's go to eat, I'm afraid the other palace masters will arrive soon."

Ximen Duohong touched Hua Jingxiang's face, but felt it was cold, so he warmed him with his hands distressedly, and the two of them stood quietly in the snow, for a moment, the world was vast, as if they were the only two left.

By noon, all the other Palace Masters had arrived, only Sikong Lanyue and Su Dongli were delayed because of something on the road, so Fei Ge sent a letter saying they would arrive a few days later.

The noon banquet was held in the hall. After drinking for three rounds, the brothers were joking and talking with their lovers. Suddenly, Hua Jingxiang suddenly covered his chest, and then a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He was about to fall to the ground At that time, Ximen Duohong suddenly picked her up and heard him shout anxiously: "Jingxiang, Jingxiang, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Jingxiang took one last look at Ximen Duohong, and all her affection and love were in this look.From now on, he will enter another role and become a ruthless and femme fatale. From now on, the lover in front of him will no longer have a trace of pity and nostalgia for him, but only boundless hatred.

Hua Jingxiang slowly closed his eyes, his heart was bleeding, but his hands were trembling and he grabbed Ximen Duohong's sleeve, and said with a breath: "Scholarly Family, Duohong, I... save me... ..." and passed out.

Ximen Duohong felt that his soul seemed to be flying away, so he went to the nearest room with Hua Jingxiang in his arms, and asked someone to call the doctor quickly.Here I went to get Xingyue, but when I opened the secret compartment, I found that the only remaining Xingyue had disappeared.

Old doctor Gong came in a hurry, he just took his pulse and frowned and said: "My little brother is poisoned. This poison is too overbearing. I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare the antidote for a while. Judging by the appearance of the young master, it won't last for an hour." , Palace Master can only use Xingyue to save people."

Ximen Duohong's complexion was pale, his body felt like it was about to fall, and he said in a daze, "Xingyue...is gone..." He came to Hua Jingxiang's side, looking at his lover's pale complexion, his heart seemed to be slowly gouged out by a knife , I don't understand why God is so cruel, he used Xingyue to save the lovers of all brothers, but when it was his lover's turn, Xingyue disappeared.

"Palace Master, don't worry. Without Xingyue, Palace Master can use internal force to force out the poison for Young Master. As long as you delay for a day and a half, I am confident to make this antidote. After all, I have learned from my little brother these days. There are many ways to use poison to detoxify." Old Doctor Gong was full of confidence, and the others were relieved to hear him say that.

Ximen Duohong didn't have anything else to say, he ordered everyone to protect him around him, then he carefully lifted Hua Jingxiang up, sat cross-legged behind him, and helped him expel the poison.

As time passed, Ximen Duohong's face was sweating like a brook. Baili Jingtao and the others found that he seemed to be a bit out of support, so they hurried forward to replace him.

The sudden change happens right now.Seeing that Hua Jingxiang, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and the divine light was shining in her eyes, and there was no sign of a patient anywhere.

Before everyone could react, he raised his hand neatly, then turned his hand back, and saw a flash of cold light, followed by a muffled groan, Ximen Duohong covered his chest with one hand, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Looking at Hua Jingxiang, who was calm and relaxed, and slowly turned around with an incomparably elegant movement.

"Palace Master Ximen, although we have been defeated repeatedly in the battle between Baihualin and your Demon Palace, but today, the final victor is our Baihualin, don't you think this result is very interesting? "

Dressed in white, Hua Jingxiang, who stood in front of everyone like a fairy, didn't have the affectionate look of a gentle and jade-like beauty before.He seemed to be a completely different person, with a beautiful face and a charming and enchanting temperament, he was like a mixture of a fairy and a goblin, exuding an extremely enchanting beauty all over his body.

"You..." Ximen Duohong was still clutching his chest, the dagger had sunk into his chest, he had to press hard to prevent the blood from flowing out, otherwise he would lose too much blood and die soon.

"Where did you get Jingxiang? You...you're not Jingxiang..." Suddenly, Ximen Duohong seemed to have thought of something, stood up crazily, and stretched out his palm to grab Hua Jingxiang.

"Tsk tsk, is Palace Master Ximen not dying? Hua Jingxiang? Hahaha, Duohong, you think I'm pretending, this is so ridiculous." Hua Jingxiang took a step back, her clothes fluttering like Fairy Lingbo, and leaning against the pillar at the door, he bent down and hilariously laughed uncontrollably, as if Ximen Duohong had told a big joke.

Then he didn't wait for Ximen Duohong to speak, he slowly straightened up, his eyes were full of sternness and ridicule, and said coldly: "Ximen Duohong, I am Hua Jingxiang, for today, I will bear with you How about it? Are my acting skills very good? You are so obsessed with me and love me, hmph, those idiots in the forest, from now on, they should know what is called the most brilliant charm."

"You...you talking nonsense? You're not Jingxiang, you're not him..." Ximen Duohong was furious, and took a step forward desperately, but fell to the ground with a "plop", and the surrounding Baili turmoil The eyes of the others were already tearing apart, but they couldn't take a step forward. These masters of the Demon Palace with superb martial arts skills couldn't even move a finger at this moment.

Hua Jingxiang's expression suddenly changed again, his rippling eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow, and he said quietly: "Duohong, don't blame me, you see, I didn't absorb your skill, and I used it like this Killing you and your brothers in a decent way, so that you can at least die with dignity, is this already compensation, right? What's more, it was so cold last night, and I even collected plum blossom snow for you, even though you are destined to die Can't drink anymore, but that's what I do for you, right?"

Seeing Hua Jingxiang's weeping expression, everyone felt chills in their bodies. They looked at Hua Jingxiang as if they were looking at a lunatic, but unfortunately, they couldn't even open their mouths to make a sound.The palace masters of Hero I never dreamed that they would fall into the hands of such a vicious person in the end.

"Oh, for you, I really took great pains. I have been busy preparing for two hours ago, and used ecstasy in several rooms where you may come. Do you know how precious this drug is? I practiced it After so many years, I only refined a few vials, which are all used by you today, just so that you don’t have to suffer too much when you die.”

Hua Jingxiang's spring green fingers pointed at everyone's faces one by one, and then he came to Ximen Duohong again, smiling like a flower, and said, "But Duohong, you don't have to hate me, you have to know, I'm here The five years in the Demon Palace, how sad, every day on the embankment, lest I show my flaws, I gave you my innocent body, how could I not blame you, now I am taking poison for acting, although I am not dead, but I am for what you suffered."

"So, I poisoned you from the first time you drank plum blossom snow tea. Didn't you say that the tea smell is different? In fact, besides the scent of plum blossoms, there is also the smell of poison. It's a pity, There is too little plum blossom snow tea, there is only one can every year, and if there is too much, I am afraid that you will be suspicious, so I let you hold on until now, otherwise, I would have been out of the sea of ​​suffering long ago."

As he was talking, he suddenly laughed wildly again, his eyes were stained with deep-seated hatred, and then he grabbed the dagger that had already entered Ximen Duohong's chest, and pulled it out forcefully, only to see a black blood arrow Jet out.

Hua Jingxiang didn't even look at it, turned to Nangong Jiangdu, said with a coquettish smile, "Palace Master Nangong, now you understand why when Duohong healed your little lover, there would be signs of exhaustion. Is it a phenomenon? That is the manifestation of toxins penetrating into the bone marrow, hahaha..."

The crazy laughter lasted for a long time, then suddenly stopped, Hua Jingxiang's blood red eyes passed over everyone's face, and then he shook his head as if regretting: "Oh, I really don't want to kill you so soon , Such a shocking conspiracy, only I can complete it. Such a result is bound to shock the world, and I really want to appreciate it for a while. I think I may never be able to create such a perfect conspiracy again in my life, because , I will never have an excellent opponent like you again."

When he said this, his expression was suddenly full of loneliness, then he gently raised the dagger, and said with a sweet smile: "But, things have to be done, right? If that's the case, why should I procrastinate?"

Following the voice, he slowly walked towards Baili Jingtao who was closest to him.At this moment, he heard a cold voice behind him saying: "Indeed, you will never be able to create such a perfect conspiracy again in your life, because your life will not continue."

Hua Jingxiang turned pale with shock, looked back, and saw the old doctor who had been neglected by him suddenly stood up, and then the palace masters who were supposed to be like stone sculptures also sneered, clasped their fists as their chests, and sneered. She looked at him with a cold stare.

"No...impossible, this is impossible, you...you...how could you move? This is impossible." Hua Jingxiang hissed loudly, her beautiful face twisted into indescribable ugliness.

Ximen Duohong also stood up slowly, his wound was still bleeding, but he covered it tightly, his eyes were blood red, and he stared at Hua Jingxiang without blinking.

"Actually, I really want to thank you, remember? It was you who taught me the recipe that can cure all drug addictions. But of course you have hidden a few herbs, but don't forget, I am also a person who uses poison to detoxify Doctor, and you are still a master. I didn’t doubt you at the time, but I just thought that adding those herbs would be more helpful in solving all kinds of drugs. I wanted to tell you, but you are busy with work, and you have been away for a long time. I didn’t see you, and I went to a distant place to gather medicine later, and I forgot about it when I came back.”

Old doctor Gong spoke very calmly, and finally he smiled and said softly: "I prepared the medicine according to that prescription and kept it on my body. Although I couldn't move just now, the fragrance of the antidote was so strong when it met the drug. After a period of time, it also began to slowly diverge and restrain it, so this is called God’s will, do you understand? It’s the sky that never destroys the Demon Palace, it’s the sky that will kill you, and the forest of flowers.”

"Impossible, this is impossible, you lied to me, I don't believe it." Hua Jingxiang yelled crazily, and then he suddenly flew towards Ximen Duohong, bitterly said: "Ximen Duohong, I will let you die right now , you must die by my hands, you must..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell from mid-air, spurting out a big mouthful of blood, and there was a mixture of pain and astonishment on his face.

The sword edge shining with cold light lay across Hua Jingxiang's neck, a few streams of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, his face was twisted, his hair was disheveled, his white clothes were stained with blood, he looked extremely embarrassed.

"You...you can still swing this palm?" Hua Jingxiang stared at Ximen Duohong, then suddenly laughed wildly again, and shouted: "Scholarly family first, the winner is a prince, the loser is a thief, hahaha, Not bad, really good, Ximen Duohong, you'd better kill me while you can still pick up the sword, otherwise you may not have this chance, because I have already destroyed that star and moon, hahaha... ...I go to the underworld, and I must also follow me, hahaha..."

Ximen Duohong looked at this crazy ex-lover coldly and without a trace of emotion, but his mind kept shaking the fragrance of flowers as soft as spring water that had accompanied him for five years, his hands were trembling, until In the end, he finally drew back the edge of the sword inch by inch, and said word by word: "You don't deserve to die by my sword, because I'm afraid you will dirty my sword."

Hua Jingxiang's body shook suddenly. He seemed to be stimulated by this answer. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the other palace lords, but before he could speak, Baili Jingtao said coldly: "I said before that I owe you a favor, so I won't kill you, and you don't deserve me to kill you."

The only one present who didn't owe Hua Jingxiang a favor was Ximen Dingran, but he gave Hua Jingxiang a disgusted look, and said coldly: "This kind of monster, even if he dies in the Demon Palace, he will pollute the ground of the Demon Palace. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his palm suddenly, and saw Hua Jingxiang flying up from the ground, crashing through the door of the house, and finally landed on the snow like a dead dog.

"Come here, throw him out of the magic palace." Ximen commanded the shadow guards in the dark. The next moment, a whirlwind rolled up on the snow. After the whirlwind passed, Huajingxiang had disappeared, leaving only a sunken white snow , and bloodstains on the snow.

"Duohong, I... finally fulfilled my wish, whether you hate me or blame me, I just hope you can live well from now on..."

Huajingxiang, who was thrown on the street, stared at the magnificent palace not far away. At this time, he returned to the jade-clean, gentle and pleasant Huajingxiang. He looked at the roof of the palace affectionately, Under that roof, there is someone he loves with all his heart.

"Just let me die here, let me... watch you live a long and happy life, let me watch you fulfill my wish for me, and destroy that evil cage that has trapped me for most of my life - Baihualin, okay?"

Hua Jingxiang smiled and raised her hand, imprinting it on her chest, and was about to use her strength, when suddenly she heard a cold voice beside her ear, "How dare you let me down so much, that you still want to die by your lover's side to see him?" Happiness, hmph, how can there be such a cheap thing, I want you to watch him live in pain every day, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

Hua Jingxiang was startled, and was about to turn her head when she felt her eyes darken.Then he fell limp, and a thin-skinned old woman quickly carried him on her back, and then flew away.

And on the ground, there was another corpse of "Hua Jing Xiang".All this was as fast as lightning, the sky was freezing and snowflakes were everywhere, there was no one on the street at this time, and the shadow guards in front of the Demon Palace were busy trying to find out what happened, so no one saw this scene.

A good party turned into this kind of situation, not to mention how tormented Ximen Duohong was, even Baili Jingtao, Shangguan Qianzhan and others felt uncomfortable.

He intended to stay longer to comfort him, but was sent home by Ximen Duohong who said, "It's fine if you don't hang around in front of me, otherwise you will be in pairs and I will feel even more uncomfortable when you see each other."

Ximen Duohong has been living like a walking corpse for the past few days. Hua Jingxiang's body was discovered by the shadow guards that afternoon. When they came to ask him what to do, Ximen Duohong was in a daze for a while, and Fang waved: " Forget it, death is the most important thing, let’s bury it.”

On the surface, it seemed that he quickly recovered from the blow and recognized the identity of Hua Jingxiang's enemy.But only Ximen Duohong knows the pain and confusion in his heart.

These days, the little tune that Hua Jingxiang hummed in the plum garden at night often echoes in his ears: "There will be a time in the next life, let me laugh at the water and see the flowers fall in the spring." I always feel that it seems that Hua Jing Xiang already had a foreknowledge of her own death.

But how could there be foreknowledge?It was obvious that the other party's plan was indeed insidious and seamless, if not for a series of coincidences, he and his brothers would have died.That ballad should be just a tool he used to arouse his pity.

Ximen Duohong could only think in this way, he didn't dare to think deeply, it seemed that he knew in his heart that if he delved deeper, the answer must not be acceptable to him, so his brain always refused to think further.

But he couldn't control himself more and more. These days, he had dreams every night, and the dreams were full of the shadow of Hua Jingxiang, smiling and smiling, but in the end, he could only see the beauty far away in the clouds, and every sentence sounded like an exhortation. in the ear.

Whenever Ximen Duohong woke up from his dream, he would feel pain in his heart like a knife.Old doctor Gong said that most of the poison on his body has been cured, and he just needs to take good care of him.Hua Jingxiang's knife didn't kill him, but it helped him a lot, and almost wiped out the poisonous blood for him, so that he could escape from death.

He wondered if there would be such a coincidence in the world, but he didn't dare to think that it wasn't a coincidence. If it wasn't a coincidence, what would it mean? He didn't even dare to think...

Sighing deeply, he looked at the moonlight outside the window, time flies so fast, and it was another full moon night.

Putting on some clothes, he got up and got out of bed, and slowly came to the plum garden.Under the moonlight, the cold fragrance is still there, but in the garden under the moonlight, there is no one familiar, who makes his heart ache when he thinks about it.

The ethereal singing voice seemed to sound again in my ears: "Look at how many sons and daughters of the world have been buried in the great river going east and west. All my life's infatuation and love, I have paid for the moon's waning and full years...
