Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

There have been many literati who wrote poems about meeting each other, but today, I can't find any poems that can accurately describe my meeting with Lin Chongtan.

The last time I was separated from him was a long time ago.When we meet again, there is an illusion as if we have passed away.

There are too many problems between me and Lin Chongtan, he never wants to tell me more things, even if those things are related to me.

The prince saw us at the birthday banquet, but he didn't tell me.

The crown prince wants to hold a grand banquet, but he won't tell me.

He knew who my murderer was, and he didn't want to tell me.

It was probably wrong from the very beginning, whether it was my swapping identities with him, or later I exchanged my body for poetry.

It was supposed to be money and money, but I fell in love with him greedily.He obviously despised me, but he didn't reject me. He chose to be a bystander and chose to tell the story of me copying his poems.But since you choose to be a bystander, why don't you continue to be a bystander?

I thought Lin Chongtan killed me, so I took revenge on him, but I... but I took revenge on the wrong person.

There are no winners in this revenge.

I breathed out silently, "No, it's because I think it's inappropriate to accept the baptism alone, and it will take too much time for the witch. I think it's better to accept the baptism with Master Ling who is with me."

Lin Chongtan's expression remained unchanged, "The great baptism is always carried out by one person alone. The Ninth Prince doesn't need to worry too much. There are servants outside the curtain, so there will be no danger."

I still hesitate. To be honest, if the person who baptized me today was someone else, I wouldn't care so much, but this person is Lin Chongtan.

Under my silence, Lin Chongtan's eyelashes drooped slightly, "It seems that the Ninth Prince is very worried, so today's baptism will be forgot."

"Wait." I called to him, many thoughts flashed through my mind at the same time, and finally only one remained, "I accept the baptism."

Since the two are clean, why bother to take care of it.

Both Lin Chundi and Lin Chongtan died, and the survivors were Jiang Congxi and Master Wu Ming from the Northern Kingdom.

The baptism process is cumbersome. For me, even soaking in the pool with only unlined clothes requires a lot of psychological construction.Fortunately, the pool is so shallow that it doesn't reach my chest when I sit down.

Lin Chongtan did not enter the water, he asked me to close my eyes.

Due to my blinded vision, I am more sensitive to the wind and grass around me.I seemed to hear the sound of Lin Chongtan's soft soles walking gently on the floor tiles, and I also heard the sound of him picking up something.

"Drink it." Lin Chongtan's voice sounded.

My lips were touched by something, I instinctively wanted to open my eyes, but first I heard him say again, "Don't open your eyes."

I paused, then fumbled to find something that touched my lips, it was a bowl.I don't know what is in the bowl, but it is quite sweet and delicious.I thought two sips would be enough, but I didn't know that Lin Chongtan hadn't opened it all the time, so I could only use his hand to finish the bowl.

After I finished drinking, the surroundings seemed to quiet down.After a while, I felt drops of water falling from above.A drop happened to hit the tip of my nose, and it was a little itchy.When I want the water to slide down, I first feel a finger nibbling away the drop.

It was Lin Chongtan's hand, and I smelled the scent of medicine approaching.

But I found that the medicinal fragrance on his fingertips was not the same as before.

Lin Chongtan withdrew his hand after twisting it, and then I heard a eulogy, anyway, it was in Beiguo dialect that I couldn't understand.Then my hand was held, and Lin Zhongtan told me to get up.

"Can't you open your eyes yet?" I asked involuntarily.

"Not yet." He said softly.

I had no choice but to hold Lin Chongtan's hand tightly.I trembled inexplicably when my fingers touched each other.I couldn't help but frowned, suppressed the strange feeling in my body, and slowly stood up while supporting the stone wall of the pool with the other hand.

He led me to walk in the pool, suddenly, my toes seemed to touch something, "What's in the water?"

"It's flowers."

flower?

Why doesn't it feel like it.

Feeling strange, I continued to walk, but after a few steps, something swam past my ankle.

This time I couldn't hold back and opened my eyes directly.When I opened my eyes, I was so scared that I crawled out of the water.Because Lin Chongtan was next to me, he was on the bank of the pool, and I threw myself into his arms when I came out of the pool.

"Snakes! Why...there are snakes!" I was afraid of molluscs, not to mention it was still in the water, I was incoherent, and I forgot that I was in Lin Chongtan's arms, and my hand was still holding his hand tightly, almost It's fingers intertwined until our eyes meet.

My clothes were soaked, and even his clothes were wet.

Lin Chongtan looked at me with downcast eyes, his pupils were pitch-black, and he didn't know what the problem with the light was, but there was a hint of blue in them.I let go of my hand immediately, but didn't dare to go back into the pool, and took a few steps back to the side.

"It's not poisonous, and it won't bite." Lin Chongtan stretched out his hand into the pool as if to confirm what he said, and the snake wrapped around his left hand like a pet, and then swam back into the water.

Lin Chongtan looked back at me, and I really didn't want to go back to the pool with snakes, probably he could see it too.He called the servant outside the curtain, and the servant took the snake out of the water and took it away.When I saw this, I returned to the water.

But closing my eyes, I couldn't help asking: "Will another snake appear later?"

Lin Chongtan shook his head.

I closed my eyes again, and nothing happened during the next baptism. After Lin Chongtan baptized me, he asked me to change into clean clothes.Before changing clothes, he turned and left.I didn't see him again that day.

Later, when I met Lord Ling, he didn't know there were snakes in the water at all. When he heard me say that there were snakes in the pool, his face turned pale in embarrassment.I saw him like this, so I didn't describe the snake any more, so as not to frighten him.

After the baptism, the servants around the King of the North did not mention when the King of the North would come back every day, but only took us around the city, just like Gong Yanglu did back then.

I felt aggrieved, so I just took Cai Weng and Niu Xi out for a walk.Although the northern king's capital is not as good as the capital, it is still prosperous.There are many vendors in the market, and I also saw dancers dancing Huxuan dance.

The dancer was dressed in cool northern women's clothing, with a delicate face, and her snow-white waist could dazzle people's eyes when she twisted it.I just glanced at it, and didn't dare to look any more, so I hurriedly turned around and went to the stall next to it.

Street vendors sell hats. The wind in the north is strong, so it’s fine during the day, but you must wear a hat when you go out at night.I took a fancy to one and reached for it, but someone beside me reached out at the same time.

Just as I was about to take my hand back, I heard someone next to me say, "Take it."

Hearing the voice, I still took my hand back, "No, I don't like it very much either."

After I finished speaking, I was going to say a few more words of greeting and leave, but Cai Weng dismantled me at this moment.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught it flying from my shoulder to the person next to me.

I turned my head involuntarily, Cai Weng had already landed on Lin Chongtan's shoulder.It took a few steps, and quickly buried its head under Lin Chongtan's collar.

I hastily stretched out my hand to catch Cai Weng back, "Cai Weng!"

Cai Weng was scolded by me, and looked at me innocently with his black eyes.I lost my temper in an instant, so I could only put it back on my shoulder and apologize to Lin Chongtan again.

Lin Chongtan's attire today is different from the last time we met. He is no longer all white, and he is dressed like an ordinary northerner. There is also a furry cap on his head, which seems to be made of wolf fur.

Cai Weng opened his collar a little, revealing a white neck.He calmly adjusted his clothes, and the street vendor next to him seemed to recognize him, said something happily, and put the hat I just fancy into his hand.

I couldn't understand what they said, and finally I watched Lin Chongtan pay the vendor.The vendor refused several times, but still accepted the money, but gave Lin Chongtan another hat.

Lin Chongtan looked at the two hats in his hand, and then handed them to Niu Xi and me, "The boss gave you these as a gift from the landlord."

"No, I have money, I can buy it myself." I refused.

Lin Chongtan didn't say anything when he heard the words, and put his hat back.Only then did I notice that there was a dog next to him, which I had seen before.It was the first thing I saw when I was locked in the box.

It squatted obediently beside Lin Zhongtan's feet, and seemed to be a little bigger than before.

"It's called Wan Guo." Lin Chongtan's voice came out suddenly.

The dog also looked at me, I have no resistance to the dog, especially last time it was the first to find me.Its fur looks nice to touch.

Lin Chongtan said again: "Do you want to touch it? It just took a bath."

I struggled for a while, but still shook my head, "We still have something to do, so let's go first."

After I finished speaking, I took Niu Xi and Cai Weng to leave quickly. After we had walked a long way, Niu Xi lowered his voice and asked me, "Is that Lin Chongtan?"

"Did you not see him at the baptism that day?" I was a little surprised.

Niu Xi shook his head.

"Then what is the witch's order to baptize you?"

Niu Xi glanced back, "The other party is wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly."

I paused, "He's not Lin Chongtan, he's the shaman of the Northern Kingdom."

Niu Xi understood what I meant and didn't speak again, but what I didn't expect was that when Ling Wenyi invited me to a restaurant outside for dinner, he called Lin Chongtan over.

"Master Ling, why did you ask him out?" I saw Lin Chongtan coming from not far away, and couldn't help asking quickly in a low voice.

While waving warmly to Lin Chongtan, Ling Wenyi said to me: "Ninth Prince, this is different from the past. We are here to discuss peace. The King of the North doesn't want to see us, so we have to find a way to make him willing to see us. Lin Now that Chong Tan can become a witch, he must be able to speak in front of the King of the North, although it turns out...it turns out that he..." He paused, his face flashed with embarrassment, but after a breath, he became determined again, " But he is from Bei Dynasty after all, I think there are not many people in this world who don't love their mother country. We don't need him to do anything, just introduce him."

I wanted to say something else, but Lin Chongtan had already arrived.He looked around, "Why didn't you go to the box?"

Ling Wenyi snorted, "The restaurant's business is so good that the private rooms are full."

When Lin Chongtan heard this, he said something to the clerk next to him, and the clerk immediately said to us in broken Beichao dialect: "There is a private room upstairs, please."

"It's still Wu Ming who has a big face."

"No, I have reserved boxes here all year round, so even if there are many people, some boxes are always available, go upstairs and sit." Lin Chongtan finished speaking to Ling Wenyi, and then nodded at me, "Ninth Prince. "

I feel embarrassed, but I can't leave.

And then the atmosphere was not as embarrassing as I imagined, at least Lin Chongtan and Ling Wenyi had a good conversation.

"Master Wu Ming, I offer you a toast."

Ling Wenyi picked up his wine glass and gestured to Lin Chongtan.The wine in the Northern Kingdom is very strong. I watched Ling Wenyi drink until his face turned red, and finally I could only whisper to me, "Ninth Prince, I can't hold it anymore, I have to vomit."

He ran away after speaking, as if he couldn't bear it for a moment.I looked at the direction Ling Wenyi ran away, and I could only close my parted lips.I slowly turned my head to look at Lin Chongtan, he obviously drank like Ling Wenyi, but he was not unusual at all, except that his cheeks were a little red.

"Let's drink." I picked up the wine jug, and Lin Chongtan reached out to stop me before it was poured.

"You have a bad stomach, so don't drink such a strong wine. Let's stop here today. I don't think Master Ling can drink any more." His tone was flat.

The problem of my bad stomach is left over from my childhood. I was often hungry. If I was too hungry, my stomach would go wrong, even after I returned to Gusu Lin’s house.

But that was when I was still Lin Chundi.

I put down the jug, without Ling Wenyi, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.I was trying to find something to talk about, when Lin Chongtan spoke first, he asked me if I was used to eating and living here.

"Okay." I lied.

The food in Beiguo is very meaty, so it cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it does not meet my taste.

"I planted some Beichao vegetables in my backyard, and I'll have someone deliver them to you later."

Although I also refused this time, at night, Lin Chongtan still sent a large bag of vegetables over.Our group has been suffering from the food of the Northern Kingdom for a long time. Seeing the vegetables of Bei Dynasty here, several people's eyes turned red.

I see them like that, it's not good to refuse, I can only accept them.

Next, Ling Wenyi would often meet with Lin Chongtan, sometimes I was there, sometimes I was not.Lin Chongtan seemed to really no longer think about the past, his attitude towards me was the same as towards Ling Wenyi.But Song Nan was very wary of Lin Chongtan and reminded me several times to be on guard against Lin Chongtan.

Song Nan still wanted to be with us, but he was not acclimatized to the climate of the northern kingdom. He fell ill within a few days after coming to the northern kingdom. When he was seriously ill, he couldn't even get out of bed.I told others to take good care of him and not to worry too much.

On this day, we rode horses to the outside of the city. The mountains and lakes are vast, and thousands of birds are flying. Seeing this scene, people's minds seem to be broadened.I was wearing the hat I bought, and next to me was Ling Wenyi who was talking to Lin Chongtan.

Ling Wenyi was very knowledgeable, and when he talked with Lin Chongtan, it was almost like a scholar's exchange.The more Ling Wenyi talked, the happier he became, and he even said on the spot that he would let Lin Chongtan solve a dead game.

Lin Chongtan curled his lower lip when he heard the words, "It seems that Master Ling wants to test me, so I have to try my best. If I don't succeed, I hope Master Ling will not make fun of me."

"Of course not. This chess is very difficult. I can see from the isolated book that only one person has solved it in so many years."

As they spoke, they asked their subordinates to set up tents on the spot, hide inside and start playing chess.

This game of dead chess was really difficult, Lin Chongtan frowned slightly.I couldn't help but think about how to solve it in my heart. I don't know how long it took, Lin Chongtan picked up the chess piece and put it somewhere.

Ling Wenyi followed closely, and within five steps, Ling Wenyi stopped. He looked at Lin Chongtan in awe, "You can really untie it, you...you are really too It’s amazing, I, Ling, have been convinced, completely convinced.”

"Lord Ling praises it. I just like reading books. I read a similar dead chess game in the book, and I just solved it by luck." Lin Chongtan raised his eyes and looked outside the tent, "It seems to be very late."

When I heard this, I glanced at Ling Wenyi from the corner of my eye.Ling Wenyi told me early in the morning that he was going to have a night-by-night talk with Lin Chongtan today, to talk about his family and country, and try to impress Lin Chongtan.

Ling Wenyi stood up and opened the curtain of the tent. As expected, the sky had already darkened, and the distant sky had turned into a faint blue.

"Master Wu Ming, wouldn't it be a pity not to drink some wine for such a beautiful night scene? Why don't we use the sky as our blanket and the ground as our couch to have a good time today." Ling Wenyi said, before Lin Chong Tan answered and asked the waiter to get the wine.

The wine is the wine we brought from Bei Dynasty.

Not only that, he also took out a qin, "I brought the qin today, the sound of the qin, good wine, good scenery, happy! Happy!

And when I saw Qin, my face couldn't help changing slightly.I immediately turned my head to look at Lin Chongtan, his expression was as usual, but when Ling Wenyi asked him to play a piece, he refused with a smile, saying that he hadn't played the piano for a long time and was already unfamiliar.

Ling Wenyi didn't know that Lin Chongtan's hand was injured. These days, Lin Chongtan always wore gloves and never took them off. Ling Wenyi thought it was due to his status as a witch.

Today's wind is not unexpected, the stars are like a river, the sky is like a blanket, and the clouds and mists are thin, as if you can catch things in the sky with your hand.At the banquet, I also drank together, not much.Ling Wenyi drank halfway, and left temporarily to solve the three emergencies.

At this time, I was a little drunk, and I also had some courage in my heart. I wanted to say something to Lin Chongtan a long time ago. If I don’t say it after today, I don’t know when I will be able to say it.

"Can I have a conversation with you alone?" I said to Lin Chongtan.

Lin Chongtan seemed a little surprised when he looked at me, but he still said yes.The attendants retreated several feet away, and I handed Caiweng over to Niu Xi, but what I said was, "Caiweng, help me keep an eye on Niu Xi, don't let him come over and eavesdrop."

Cai Weng accepted the task resolutely, and flew until Niu Xi's shoulders were firmly fixed.

"I...I..." I closed my eyes, "I already know who is behind the scenes. I want to ask you, why didn't you tell me?"

Lin Chongtan was silent for a while, then Fang said: "I'm afraid you'll be too impulsive and seek revenge from him. His city is very deep, if he knows you know the truth, he will kill you first."

His answer is what I guessed.

"But now it seems that I was worrying too much. You are very smart and quick-witted, and you succeeded in killing him." Lin Chongtan smiled slightly at me.

I also want to smile back at Lin Chongtan, but I really can't, it turns out that's the reason.

I lowered my eyes, took a deep breath, took out the box I had hidden earlier from my sleeve, and put it in front of him, "I think I have to return this thing to you."

Lin Chongtan stared at the box for a while, then reached for it and slowly opened it. Inside were the snow beads he gave me.

"Lin Chongtan, this is the last time I call you by this name. In fact, I am very happy to see that you are now the shaman of the North Kingdom and respected by so many people. We... We have too many things happened before, but no matter what, it is over. Alright, I wish you the destiny Paul, Bier Jiangu, I wish you happy children in front of the lamp."

My words were uttered, but no one responded for a long time.I couldn't help but retract my hand on the table, Lin Chongtan hates me, right?If he hates me, he should.My vengeance on him was too great, even though what happened to him in prison was not what I wanted.

I dare not ask him those things.

Lin Chongtan's eyes were still on those snowdrops, just when I thought he would not answer me, he raised his eyes to look at me, moist and lustrous.

"Is it because I'm not pretending enough?" He asked me softly, "Xiaodi."
