[This chapter is a side story in the article, and it talks about different mountain flowers. 】

------

Ningzhou, a lonely city.

The winter in Lishan came early, and it was only the middle of the dew month, and the mountain had already turned cold.

Ye Shuli came out of the Qingnang Pavilion on Lishan Mountain, and walked all the way to Wangshu Palace. This place is Dongjun's place, and there are few people coming here on weekdays, so it looks very quiet.

Mu Xiyun, the owner of the Astrology Pavilion, was sitting in the backyard of the Wangshu Hall to sort out the gift list.In a little more than a month, the current Empress Dowager will have her entire birthday, and the city lords of aristocratic families and princes from all over Kyushu will come to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, and Yiye Gucheng is no exception.

It's just that Ye Jianwei, the lord of Yiye Gucheng, is in the Mahayana realm, so it's not convenient for him to enter the imperial capital.According to the usual practice, his wife Mu Xiyun will go to Beijing on his behalf.

Ye Shuli called "Master Uncle", walked straight to the stone table and sat down, and said to Mu Xiyun, "The medicine is all ready, by the end of the month, Banmengtan should be almost ready."

Mu Xiyun nodded: "When we go to the imperial capital next month, remember to bring it to your elder brother. He is now in the Hall of Martial Arts, beyond the reach of Lishan Mountain, and everything depends on him."

Mentioning the "Martial Yingdian", Ye Shuli immediately lost his temper: "Uncle, I am puzzled, what do you think my senior brother has to go to the imperial capital for? Chu Xin and Chu Yan have grown up, Chu Yan these days In [-], he was a newcomer to Chu's family school, and it was not so easy to handle. My senior brother just went back to see it from time to time, but he pretended to be "leaving the teacher and returning home". Send him to the Hall of Martial Heroes...he will live in the imperial capital for a long time, and he will be suppressed, and if he wants to do something on weekdays, he will have to suffer from Ban Mengtan, why do you think he should?"

Mu Xiyun put down his pen, and did not respond to Ye Shuli's question. Instead, he said something irrelevant: "Your uncle once told me that Ah Yue is usually a bit delicate, and you will feel wronged if you touch her." For a long time, I didn't answer his words at that time. Shuli, have you seen your senior brother's squeamish look?"

squeamish?

Ye Shuli was stunned for a moment. He grew up with Chu Heng, and he knew best that the word "senior brother" was like a seal engraved in Chu Heng's bones.

Even if it is the "Mountain Flower" of Lishan Mountain that cannot be carried on the shoulders or carried by the hands, no one will ever associate the word "delicacy" with Senior Brother Chu.As for the big brother Lishan Mountain Junji Wuyue, that's not to mention.

All the disciples of Lishan love to be close to their mountain flower "Senior Brother Chu", and wish to stick to him.

Several chief elders watched him grow up, and they always knew that "Chu Heng" and "Ji Wuyue" were the same person.Such an unborn martial arts genius, it's too late to be proud of, who will teach him a lesson?When he became Dongjun later, no one could punish him.

Ye Shuli didn't quite understand where Mu Xiyun's words came from, so he waved his fan and smiled, "Uncle, except you and the master master, who in Lishan Mountain would 'touch' Dongjun? He is so delicate and wronged." It looks like no one else has seen it."

"That makes sense." Mu Xiyun smiled slightly when he heard the words, "I am his teacher's wife, and he grew up under my knees, no different from Xinghui."

Mu Xiyun's eyebrows were gentle, and there was a little nostalgia in his eyes, "He came to Lishan when he was four years old, and he used to act like a baby with me since he was a child. When he grows up, he is mischievous and mischievous, causing Jianwei to be angry. When he is punished and beaten, he also comes to me to complain. If he is scolded by me, he will beg for mercy from me. Until he entered the Mahayana and just became Dongjun Son, it's all like that."

Ye Shuli nodded with a smile: "This is something my senior brother can do. He is always 'powerful and subdued', and he will never be beaten if he can be scolded."

"That's right." Mu Xiyun nodded and smiled, "Your uncle always said that he was a little bit delicate, which means that his temperament has not changed."

When Mu Xiyun said this, he paused for a while, and then he smiled slightly when he spoke again: "Ke Shuli, do you know that the last time I heard him cry out to me in pain was more than three years ago."

Ye Shuli didn't doubt that he had it, and rubbed his chin for a while, thinking: "Didn't he just enter the Mahayana at that time, after he became Dongjun, he gradually became embarrassed to act like a baby with his uncle?"

But Mu Xiyun shook his head: "It would be great if that's the case...Your senior brother, he wouldn't dare."

"Don't you dare?" Ye Shuli stopped shaking the fan, feeling puzzled for a while.

Mu Xiyun nodded, his tone was a bit bitter, he was silent for a while, and slowly said: "More than three years ago, your brother and I went to Nanxi once, we entered from Yuezhou, at the foot of Yuluan Mountain, we met The great witch mirrors Xueli."

Ye Shuli said in a solemn voice: "The great master from Nanxi?"

"Yes." Mu Xiyun nodded, "We fought against Jing Xueli."

Ye Shuli's expression changed slightly, Nan Xi was good at witches and Gu, and he was not of the same branch as Kyushu Martial Arts.But this person in Jing Xueli is the master of Wu Xinghai in the southern border, and in the past ten years, no one in the entire Nanxi Kingdom can match him.

If you compare Kyushu Martial Arts, Jingxueli will only be in the Mahayana realm.Chu Heng, or Ji Wuyue, who just entered the country three or four years ago, was a little immature in front of such a peerless grand master.

"I haven't mentioned this matter to you before, but you can guess that your senior brother lost." Mu Xiyun said, "He was slapped by Jing Xueli and suffered internal injuries. But even so, If your senior brother wants to leave, no one in the world can stop him. When he fought Jing Xueli, he always protected me behind him and refused to give an inch. He took a blow, but I didn't get hurt. We All the way east from the cliff of Yuluan Mountain, throwing away the people in Jingxue."

"The blow in Jingxue was not so pleasant. The poisonous poison came out day and night, and the poison flared up after dark. Your senior brother told me that he was uncomfortable. We took a rest in the Linjian Mountain Temple. He really hurt. With cold sweat all over his head, we didn't move on. I helped him adjust his breath for most of the night, and when dawn broke, he would fall asleep with his pillow on my lap for a while."

"At that time, he was still injured and had a fever. I told him to go around the mountain temple to see if I could find some Qingyun grass for him to relieve pain. Your senior brother was a little hesitant, but he was really uncomfortable at that time. It was terrible, I said that I would come back within half an hour, and he agreed. The 72nd peak of Yuluan Mountain stretches for nearly a hundred miles from north to south, but it happened so coincidentally that I met someone from Jingxueli for the second time."

Ye Shuli tightened his hand holding the fan.

Mu Xiyun continued: "After half an hour, your senior brother didn't wait for me to come back. When he followed the moon talisman and found me, he was on the edge of the cliff."

"In most of my life, my life has been on the line three times. One of them was at Yuluan Mountain. I fought and retreated with Jing Xueli's men. I was defeated and forced to the edge of the cliff. Shuli, have you seen you? Did the elder brother kill someone?"

Ye Shuli was silent for a while, then shook his head.

Chu Heng has always been strong, very restrained, almost merciful, unless he really touches his negative scales, he will always leave a line for others.

Mu Xiyun said flatly: "Wu Xinghai's 32 first-class masters were all beheaded by your senior brother, leaving no one behind. The blood stained his entire robe was red. Since that day, until we returned Lishan, until today, your senior brother has never called me in pain again."

Ye Shuli pursed his lips and remained silent.

"I know," Mu Xiyun said slowly, "he's really scared. If he comes a step late, he might not see me. Under his fear, he always feels that he willfully insists on resting in the mountain temple. , we were overtaken by Wu Xinghai's people; it was he who kept telling me that he was uncomfortable, that's why I went out to look for medicine, and was driven to a desperate situation by those people. He was afraid that if what I met at that time was not Jing Xueli's men , but Jing Xueli himself, who lost even the luck of hanging by a thread."

"But Yuluan Mountain stretches across hundreds of miles, and there are countless mountains and forests. Who would have expected that the other party would chase after him, and it would be so coincidental that I bumped into him for the second time? Who in the world would not be able to escape poisonous wounds? It hurts, don't you need to take care of it?"

Mu Xiyun sighed, lowered his head and said: "He is your senior brother, even if he always appears as 'Chu Heng', he will not show any weakness in front of the younger brothers and younger sisters. But for us elders, especially In front of me and his master, even if he becomes Dongjun, he will still show his dependence, and he will be self-willed from time to time, asking us to pamper him, in the words of your uncle, he is a bit squeamish."

"But after Yuluan Mountain, everything has changed. He seems to have grown into Dongjun overnight. Chu Heng can be willful, coquettish and bitter, but Ji Wuyue can't, and Dongjun can't."

Mu Xiyun said in a harsh voice: "The stronger you are, the more you have to bear. He has experienced this and understood this truth, so even though he is still close to me, he will never show weakness in front of me again.

"The other day your uncle told me that Ah Yue would be coquettish, I didn't answer, Ah Yue was afraid of pain and felt wronged, only your uncle could see the whole Lishan Mountain."

Ye Shuli was silent for a while, and said: "Master is the master of the Eastern Capital, so powerful, only in front of the master, he can just be 'Chu Heng'."

Mu Xiyun nodded, with a look of melancholy on his face, "I'll be wronged for a long time if I touch it? No, he's not really wronged because of being scolded, let alone be angry with him for a long time after being beaten by your uncle. He just wanted to take advantage of this rare 'grievance' to take a break with your uncle, even for a short while. But he still has to stretch himself as Dongjun all the time when he leaves the Changji Palace, so He dare not say these words to your uncle."

Mu Xiyun looked at Ye Shuli and said, "Didn't you just ask me why he had to go to the imperial capital? I asked him to go."

"I can't bear it. This is the child I raised. He's only 20 years old. When will crying out for pain become an unattainable luxury for him? I'd rather he really just doesn't know anything. Chu Heng doesn't want him to live so hard. He is as fragile as he is strong. The string in his heart is too tight, and even Mingyuan's death is stuffy in his heart. If this continues, he will crushed."

"After leaving Lishan, he can still be Chu Heng again, he can be more free-spirited, live a more real life, and don't have to hide all his sorrows and pains to the bottom of his heart, but here, he is Ji Wuyue, how can Dongjun say it hurts? ?”

Ye Shuli was silent.

Mu Xiyun raised her eyes to look at the distant sky, and said sadly: "When Wu Xi entrusted Ah Yue to me, she said a word, she didn't have any great expectations for Ah Yue, she only said, 'If you will be in the future It would be the best to meet someone he likes, who also loves him and lives a good life'. I used to think it was not difficult, but Ah Yue liked it, but now I know that there is nothing more It couldn't be more difficult."

"Huiji will be hurt. Your senior brother and his mother are really similar. They look alike and have a similar temperament. They are similar everywhere. They are both the same arrogance, so they live the same hard life. Ah Yue, the more The closer you care about someone, the more you dare not show weakness to them, and you can only carry everything on your own shoulders, unless the person he cares about is also like him, so strong that he doesn't have to straighten his shoulders all the time, then he dares to let go. But Like this, how many are there in the world?”

"So what you told Uncle Wei, where can you find someone who can love Ah Yue and love him even more?"

Mu Xiyun's expression was gloomy, and he continued to look at the gift list. Ye Shuli knew that his uncle was sad, and said, "Maybe there is, fate is destined, maybe one day he will meet my senior brother. Just don’t sell yourself when the time comes.”

Even though he knew that his words were comforting, Mu Xiyun smiled softly when he heard the words, and followed his words: "If you sell it, then sell it. It's good to be a door-to-door son-in-law. In the future, Lishan can still save money." As for the dowry money, as long as you don’t pay it backwards.”

At that time, Chu Heng, who was on duty in the Jingcheng Palace in the imperial capital, couldn't help but sneezed twice. Ling Ye glanced at him and said with a smile, "Someone scolded you?"

Chu Heng was choked up, and said with some hesitation: "It's not really possible..."
