Looking for green hills

"What happened later? Why did you separate when you were already together?" Xiaoqing asked anxiously, grabbing Lu Qingya's sleeve.

Lu Qingya raised his head from the past, picked up the jug and filled his mouth full of wine, and then said: "After I returned to Taiqing Palace, I begged Master to drive me out of the master's gate and let me go down the mountain. Master was furious and locked me up. Half a year in the mountains, I thought it would make me change my mind, but after half a year, I still wanted to leave, and the master agreed. I thought everything was settled, so I hurried back to Zhaoyao Mountain, but in the end I still You are young, you underestimated Master's vision."

Xiaoqing asked again: "What do you mean?"

Lu Qingya smiled helplessly: "I have sex with Meng Xiao day and night, and my body is full of monsters. Master has already seen it but didn't mention a word. He followed me into Zhaoyao Mountain and saw me having sex with a monster with his own eyes. He was furious for a while. I had a fever, so I started fighting with Meng Xiao. I thought my master was just a wild Taoist priest, but I didn't expect him to have some skills. He and Meng Xiao fought endlessly. No matter what I said, the two of them would not stop fighting, but Master After all, he is not Meng Xiao's opponent, and he is about to be swallowed by Meng Xiao's magic circle. Master has nurtured me, and I can't just watch him being killed so I rushed out. At the last moment, he withdrew the magic circle, but he was backlashed by the magic and fell into a pool of blood."

"I chose my master at the last moment. How could Meng Xiao, who is so proud, forgive me? Since then, I will never see each other again forever." Lu Qingya drank the last sip of wine and fell drunk on the window sill She closed her eyes.

All the past slipped before his eyes, like a dream, like a dream, it was only a dozen years, but it seemed like a lifetime, he still remembered the last words Meng Xiao said to him when he fell into a pool of blood: "Lu Qingya, It was you who blamed me... In this life, we will never meet again..."

Meng Xiao knew that his deer would never bark again.

But what Xiaoqing didn't know was that Lu Qingya was hurt by Meng Xiao and Master's true energy at that time, and after hearing what Meng Xiao said, he also passed out. When he woke up, he was already in Taiqing Palace In the same day, Meng Xiao was also captured by Lu Hesong. Lu Hesong wanted to disperse Meng Xiao's millennium cultivation base and make him lose his soul. When Lu Qingya found out, he cried and begged Lu Hesong. He told Lu Hesong Meng Xiao He has never hurt anyone, he is just a goblin who doesn't understand anything, but Lu Hesong insists that "people who are not of my race must have a different heart" and must eradicate the monsters, unless... unless Lu Qingya swears that he will live forever. Seeing Meng Xiao again, and no longer having any entanglements with him, he settled down to practice and carry forward the Taiqing sect, then Lu Hesong let Meng Xiao go.

Of course Lu Qingya would agree, that was his Meng Xiao, that was his dream, he followed Lu Hesong's instruction and broke up with Meng Xiao after waking up, and made a vow that he would never see each other again forever, Meng Xiao Xiao left with a broken heart, and has been sleeping forever in Zhaoyao Mountain since then. Lu Hesong became famous because of this incident, and was regarded as a national teacher by Emperor Yongchu who was addicted to cultivating immortals. The entire Taiqing faction was invited into the palace. Royal alchemy, honors and favors continue.

Xiaoqing didn't know about all the causes and effects, not even Meng Xiao. Lu Qingya kept this secret alone in the palace compound and died. He never thought of telling Meng Xiao about it. Meng Xiao, when he stood beside Lu Hesong, he already had nothing to say.

Time flies, time flies, in these 12 years, Lu Qingya and Meng Xiao haven't seen each other again.

"My story is over, now can you tell me, is Meng Xiao doing well?" Lu Qingya lay on the window sill, his handsome face was covered by his messy hair and thick stubble, It is impossible to see from his face the face that could fascinate a thousand-year-old demon back then.

Xiaoqing stood aside and stared at him, feeling more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and frowned tightly: "I don't understand, why can't you be together when you clearly love each other? If there is any misunderstanding, why don't you just explain it clearly?" Pulling Lu Qingya's arm, "Go back to Zhaoyao Mountain with me, and go to Meng Xiao to explain clearly, he must still be waiting for you, he has been waiting for you in Zhaoyao Mountain for so many years, he has never been anywhere!"

Lu Qingya threw his hand away suddenly: "I have hurt him once, I don't want to hurt him again, even if I go to him to make amends and pray for his forgiveness, we will still be separated in the end, maybe ten years, Maybe 20 years, how many years do mortals live? How many years do you goblins live? After a hundred years, I will leave. How can you let him stay alone for thousands of years? Why don’t you let him bear my grudge against me? Another ten years at most. will forget about me."

Xiaoqing shouted: "How do you know he will forget you? What if he never forgets you?"

Lu Qingya glanced at him, the meaning in his eyes was unclear: "You are demons with endless lifespans. In your eyes, thousands of years may be just the blink of an eye, and the bright sun and moon are just the doors of your house. Mountains and rivers The rivers and seas are just your gardens, and me and other mortals are just the gravel in the sea, and I can't reach you. After a hundred years, my body will turn into dust, and I don't know where my soul will go. This world disappears, but you are still happy goblins. Since the result is already doomed, why should I disturb the spring water again, and let all the feelings remain in the memory."

Xiaoqing shook her head: "I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"Little goblin, there will always be a time when you understand. Then again, your four hundred years of cultivation are enough for you to toss about a few times? Since you have left Zhaoyao Mountain, your spiritual power is bound to be limited, why do you need to use spiritual power?" Refining medicine for the old emperor?" Lu Qingya sneered, "Just for that Lord Gu? Is it worth it?"

Xiaoqing looked at him with firm eyes: "I am different from you, I love him, and I will never betray him."

like?Lu Qingya thought for a while, it seemed that he and Meng Xiao had never spoken about love, but isn't unspoken love not love?Spring, summer, autumn and winter on the mountain, the sun rises and sets, the flowers wither and bloom, they kiss, they entangle, they have reached the depths of each other's souls, even if they never said that word, it doesn't mean they never loved, Everything is unspoken.

Xiaoqing ran out of the Taiqing Palace without looking back after saying this. At this moment, a turbulent emotion spread in his heart and he was about to break out. He wanted to see Gu Yuanshan, he wanted to see Gu Yuanshan immediately, only Gu Yuanshan To soothe his troubled heart.

He followed the route in his memory and ran outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Gu Yuanshan should not have gone to court at this moment, but he couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't care about any scruples or forbearance. At this moment, he just wanted to throw himself into Gu Yuanshan's arms , Tell Gu Yuanshan loudly, I love you, and I will never abandon you.

Gu Yuanshan has always been the last person to leave the palace. The other officials had already left for a while before he came out from the stone steps. As soon as Xiaoqing saw him, he rushed towards him, rushing into his arms like a hurricane: " A Yuan...A Yuan..."

Gu Yuanshan was knocked back again and again by him, and managed to stabilize his body to catch him. Then he remembered that the two of them were still at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the moment. He hurriedly pulled Xiaoqing out, and asked after reaching a side hall: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Ayuan, don't be afraid, I will never forget you, I will definitely look for you after a hundred years!" Xiaoqing anxiously held his hand and said.

Gu Yuanshan paused, touched his face and smiled, "Why did you say this suddenly? Let's go home first."

"I don't, you listen to me first..." Xiaoqing broke away from Gu Yuanshan's hand and wanted to say something more, but Gu Yuanshan suddenly said: "Don't come looking for me, after a hundred years, you should go to cultivate immortality and become a Buddha."

"Why?" Xiaoqing's eyes were full of mist, "Are you scared too? You want to leave me?!"

Gu Yuanshan looked down at him, and gently caressed the corner of his mouth with his broad palm: "How could I leave you, I will never leave you in this life, but I am not in charge of the next life. I’m afraid I’ve already forgotten about you, why are you looking for me?”

"But I remember you, I'll go find you, we'll be together again, you can't leave me!!"

Gu Yuanshan sighed, leaned over and kissed him, "Okay, I won't leave you behind, don't cry..."

Gu Yuanshan is a selfish person. He never thinks about how Xiaoqing will spend the years without him like Lu Qingya after he left. He knows that little fairies have ten thousand years of time, and one day they will He forgot, so he only needs the two of them to stay together for the rest of his life, he only needs this life, and he doesn't care about the rest.

Ten days later, Xiaoqing presented the elixir infused with her own spiritual power to Emperor Yongchu. Five days later, Emperor Yongchu summoned Xiaoqing and Gu Yuanshan into the palace again, and rewarded them both generously. After Qing took the elixir, he could clearly feel a clear air flowing in his body, and even the leg disease he had suffered for many years was automatically healed. Emperor Yongchu was overjoyed and ordered Xiaoqing to enter the Taiqing Palace to make more elixirs for him , and issued an edict to hold a state banquet in the palace two days later, entertaining all the courtiers of Dayan, and enjoying the joy of the whole country.

In the past two days, Xiaoqing seemed to be a little lackluster. When Gu Yuanshan asked, he said that it was because he got up too early every day to refine medicine for the emperor and was a little tired. If you can’t get up, I will ask the emperor to give you more time to let you practice slowly.”

Xiaoqing shook her head: "It's okay, I will practice more for him this time, and he can have a good rest after the practice, don't worry."

The palace banquet was held in the big square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When Xiaoqing and Gu Yuanshan arrived, the square was already full of civil and military officials, and it was very lively at the beginning of the lights. Two small eunuchs came to guide Gu Yuanshan and Xiaoqing, but Leading the two to different directions, Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, seeing Gu Yuanshan smiled at himself, he obediently followed the little eunuch and left.

The inner supervisor led Xiaoqing to the fourth row, and the seat was next to Lu Qingya. When he arrived, Lu Qingya had already drunk on the seat. Xiaoqing sat down and said coldly: "You can also drink on this occasion. Will be there? I really didn't expect that."

"This day is about to change, I have to come and see with my own eyes." Lu Qingya glanced at him, and started drinking again on his own.

Xiaoqing raised her head and looked at the sky, the bright moon was in the sky, and a few stars spread out, it was obviously a good weather, how could the sky change?

"Why are you drinking all day?"

Lu Qingya smiled nonchalantly: "Life is too bitter, and there is no hope of becoming a fairy. It's better to lie drunk and lie in the world of mortals. Don't you think so, little demon?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, stinky Taoist priest!" Xiaoqing glared at him and then stopped looking at him, turning her head to look for Gu Yuanshan's figure.

Gu Yuanshan was arranged to sit in the first row, next to Princess Yongchu and Ulan, and Jiang Yousi was arranged to sit next to Gu Yuanshan.

The music sounded, and the palace banquet started. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up first and offered a toast to Emperor Yongchu, and then Emperor Yongchu let everyone enjoy themselves freely.

At this time, the eldest princess suddenly picked up the wine glass and walked in front of Gu Yuanshan, "Master Gu, I would like to offer you a toast. During this period of time, my father's health is getting better and better, and Master Gu has contributed a lot."

The noisy square just now suddenly fell silent. All civil and military officials cast their eyes on Gu Yuanshan's face. Gu Yuanshan stood up and bowed: "It is the job of the minister to share the emperor's worries. How dare the eldest princess respect the minister."

Emperor Yongchu looked at the faces of the two for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yuanshan, I heard Changting praise your article before, saying that you are talented, intelligent and literary, and now you have helped me take care of my body. This glass of wine, since Chang Ting respects you, drink it."

"Yes, that minister is overstepping." After Gu Yuanshan finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine toasted by Li Changting.

The expressions on the faces of all the officials under the seat are wonderful. Everyone has heard that Emperor Yongchu called Gu Yuanshan just now. It was not "Master Gu" or "Gu Shangshu" but "Yuanshan". They have already regarded Gu Yuanshan as their own family, and the Eldest Princess condescended to toast Gu Yuanshan, all of a sudden, everyone understood in their hearts that this Gu family might be about to flourish again.

Lu Qingya looked at the scene on the stage, then turned his head to look at Xiaoqing, and saw that the little goblin was just staring at Gu Yuanshan and giggling like a normal person, he could only shake his head helplessly.

While the courtiers were still secretly communicating with each other with their eyes on the scene on the high platform just now, Hubu Shangshu Lu Meng came out suddenly: "Report to the emperor, I heard good news before entering the palace for a banquet today, and I can't wait to report it to the emperor. .”

Emperor Yongchu said: "Oh? What's the good thing? Say it and let's be happy together."

Lu Meng smiled and said: "I heard that the king of Dayu wanted to send his daughter to our Dayan to be married. Princess Dayu is eighteen years old this year and has a beautiful appearance. She and our Highness Prince Ning are a match made in heaven."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongchu glanced at Ulan with a smile on his face, but before Emperor Yongchu could speak, someone suddenly rushed out from the audience and shouted: "I object!"

This person is actually Jiang Yousi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy!

Emperor Yongchu had always loved this talented scholar, so he was not angry when he heard this, but asked, "Why does Jiang Aiqing object?"

Jiang Yousi stood in the middle of the steps, thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at him, but he faltered and said: "I just oppose...the minister..."

"Master Jiang is too meddlesome. This matter is a family matter between the emperor and King Ning. Even King Ning has not come out to object. What right do you have to object?" Lu Meng interrupted Jiang Yousi's words and asked in a bad tone .

Jiang Yousi didn't know what was wrong with him. When he heard that King Ning was going to marry Princess Dayu, his mind went blank. Without even thinking about it, he jumped out and said that he opposed it. overwhelmed.

At this time, Gu Yuanshan suddenly stood up, "Master Lu, don't be angry, Mr. Jiang is drinking too much, you can see that his face is blushing, you know that Mr. Jiang has always been light on alcohol, Mr. Jiang, do you think so?"

Only then did Jiang Yousi nod his head as if waking up from a dream: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I made a slip of the tongue after drinking."

Emperor Yongchu waved his hand: "No problem."

After Gu Yuanshan helped Jiang Yousi back to his seat, he continued: "However, what Master Lu just said was wrong. Although the marriage between the princes and princesses of the two countries is a matter of the emperor's family, it is also a matter of state. Master Jiang said that his objection is not unreasonable." , It's just that he drank too much and couldn't figure it out for a while. The official thought that Dayu and I, Dayan, had been in constant disputes on the border for many years. The meaning behind this move."

Emperor Yongchu nodded: "Yuanshan is right, but Dayu is a mere small country, even if they are tossed about, they will not be able to make waves. Since they intend to seek peace, in order to show my great country style, I promise them It doesn't matter," said Emperor Yongchu and turned his head to look at Ulan, "but this matter is, after all, a matter of King Ning's life, and I want to hear King Ning's opinion."

Ulan has been silent since the beginning. He lowered his head, half of his tall figure was hidden in the darkness, exuding a huge sense of oppression for no reason. He raised his head and smiled faintly when he heard Emperor Yongchu's words: "Since this If this matter can promote the reconciliation between the two countries and bring peace to the people on the border between the two countries, the minister there will naturally be willing, and everything will be decided by the emperor."

With a "pop", the wine glass in Jiang Youpan's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces. He suddenly raised his head to look at Ulan, but Ulan hid the other half of his figure into the darkness. I couldn't even see the slightest emotion in his eyes.
