Youyou Sanshengyue

Chapter 10

Since Mingyou killed the Lion King, Xuanyue, who was alone, had to live in the thatched cottage.Seeing the good wine and good food every day, Mingyou said happily: "It's really a blessing from the three lives, it's like marrying a wife." I thought this little beast would suddenly stretch out its paws to scratch me again, but who would have known? Xuanyue just pursed her lips and remained silent, letting the ends of her hair cover the uneasiness and fear deep in her eyes.Mingyou must have revealed her old nature and frightened him, so she didn't dare to be as self-willed and indulgent as before. In addition, he hadn't recovered from the grief of Xuanhua's death, so Mingyou didn't even dare to mention Xuanhua easily. The name, for fear of accidentally bringing up sad things again.

Xuanyue's forbearance and stubbornness can be seen in Mingyou's eyes.Even though he has already endured too many unbearable burdens in life, he still looks indifferent, only the watery left eye betrays him.

During the winter solstice, the sycamore trees in front of the thatched cottage had already been forcibly stripped of their clothes by the cold wind. They were bare like big rough hands, pointing straight at the vast sky with five fingers. Xuanyue shrank her neck slightly in the cold wind.

"Don't stay in the yard anymore, it's warmer in the house." Ming You held his cold hand in her own to keep him warm, and dragged him into the house by the way.His big hand exerted lightly, as if he wanted Xuanyue to feel his firmness, "Don't think too much, I'm still that useless scholar who was bullied by you, you just need to be brave and be yourself, the rest is up to you Me." Xuanyue didn't talk, but felt inexplicably at ease, the people around him seemed to be able to easily change his mood.The fingers of the two interlocked silently, and even the cold air became sweet in an instant.

Later in the day, Jiang Mingli paid a sudden visit, bringing Xuanyue's piano with her.As soon as I entered the door, I saw the two people eating. Although they didn't speak, the atmosphere was indescribably warm.

"I married a daughter-in-law after all, and I really envy others for living a small life," Jiang Mingli sent down the piano, grabbed Mingyou's chopsticks and picked up the vegetables to eat, "Sister-in-law's cooking is really good, even better than the cooks in Jiangzi Villa. Alright." Xuanyue blushed and wanted to refute, but considering that he was the owner of the estate, she opened her mouth and forced the words back.

"The wolf king asked me to bring you the piano back, and by the way, I will inform you that you will attend Xuanhua's funeral the day after tomorrow. The wolf king said that he wanted to make it more beautiful for her."

"Yeah." Thinking of this, Xuanyue felt uncomfortable, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Thank you Wolf King for me. I am ashamed because of Xuanhua's ruined his birthday banquet." Xuanyue's voice became louder. The smaller the words, the last choked up and no more words.Seeing this situation, Mingyou hurriedly winked at Jiang Mingli, whispered in his ear, "Stinky boy, I just persuaded him and you came to recruit him again, if you make him cry, I'll screw your lies Mouth."

"Forgive me, forgive me." Jiang Mingli smiled and got up, taking advantage of the night to leave.

It was originally planned to go to the Wolf King's mansion two days later, but Xuanyue was not at ease and wanted to take care of the funeral herself, so the two packed up their bags the next day and arrived at the destination in the twilight of the morning sun.The wolf king's mansion seems to have been fully prepared. From a distance, you can see two white lanterns hanging under the eaves at the entrance of the mansion. The red silk flowers on the neck of the stone lion are also replaced with white. Walking into the yard, there are paper people, paper horses, and paper money. It's all ready and neatly placed together. At first glance, it looks like a small army.Just looking at this situation, people who don't know must think that some important person is driving west.

Along the way, Xuanyue was very grateful, and said to Mingyou: "Wolf King is a good person, Xuanhua is nothing at all, but he was able to hold a funeral in a splendid manner." Mingyou raised her hand and scraped him affectionately. "Second Uncle is a man of temperament, everyone understands his feelings for Xuanhua. Besides, Xuanhua is a good girl, but it is a pity that she has been spoiled and suffered all her life."

"It's Xuanhua's bad luck, I didn't meet him earlier," Xuanyue sighed, and suddenly thought of herself, am I lucky?He looked at Mingyou who was beside him, and Mingyou also just turned his head, looking at him with a pair of dark green eyes full of affection.

Sometimes looking at each other affectionately is far better than sweet words and vows of eternal love. If the love is too deep, there are no words to express it accurately. The deepest love is the most silent.Just one glance is ten thousand years, you understand, I understand, there is no need to make a fuss, that's all.

After the servants led the way, the two went directly to the wolf king's bedroom.I heard that although many people objected to putting Xuanhua's body in the wolf king's bedroom, the wolf king did not listen.

"This marriage bed was originally prepared for her." The wolf king opened the red gauze curtain, and Xuanhua lay quietly on the bed, still wearing the bright red wedding dress. There is a red flower pinned to the bun.The goblin will return to its original form after death, but the wolf king does not hesitate to use the elixir gifted by Mingyou to keep Xuanhua's body intact for a hundred years.

"You and your sister really look alike, especially the eyes." The wolf king took the teacup from the servant and handed it to Xuanyue himself, then smiled at Mingyou: "Good nephew, you can be considered a treasure." You smiled smugly, revealing two sharp little wolf teeth, the childish side is cute.Xuan Yue secretly kicked him with a cold face, and he corrected his serious expression.

Xuanyue saw the wolf king's thoughtfulness for Xuanhua, and an inexplicable touch and guilt welled up in his heart. He knelt down at the wolf king's feet and kowtowed three times, "I can't repay what Xuanhua owes you." , if there is a need in the future, Xuanyue will go through fire and water."

"Get up and talk," the wolf king helped him up, looking at Xuanyue as if he was pampering a poor child who lost his family, "but you have to live well, if Mingyou bullies you, tell second uncle, and I will teach him a lesson for you."

Ming You, who was drinking tea, heard this and stared inexplicably and said angrily, "Why did you involve me again? Besides, I wouldn't dare to bully him."

In the early morning two days later, the funeral began vigorously amidst the long weeping suona.Both Wolf King and Mingyou were dressed in black, looking solemn and solemn, while Xuanyue wore a white robe all over her body, her usual long hair was neatly tied on the top of her head with a white ribbon, and a white bone hairpin ran through the middle , which made his face like a crown jade, his lips red and his teeth white, and his ethereal look like a fairy.

Xuanhua's tomb is placed on the top of Tianling Mountain, where the beasts live.Xuanyue was reluctant at first, after all, Xuanhua was a lowly monster compared to it, but she couldn't win the wolf king's heart, so she nodded in agreement.So the three of them rode a horse each and led the funeral procession to carry the coffin all the way to the top of the mountain.

The climate on the top of the mountain is extremely cold, and there are dense cedar trees, which look like neatly pointed pagodas.At this time, Mingyou would often point to the mansion with carved beams and painted buildings and tell Xuanyue what kind of mountain villa inhabited by celestial beasts, and what kind of elegant and pleasant name it has.He also explained that the reason why it is called the villa is not because of lack of ability, but because the number of celestial beasts is scarce, especially after being separated according to attributes, the number of people of each race cannot form a huge kingdom, so the safety of the villa only needs to be protected by the owner. , The scale of the war is not comparable to the entire army of the world and the demon world.In addition to being close to the Heavenly Court, considering the face of the Jade Emperor, he didn't dare to be king.

It was getting late when the funeral was over.As dusk fell, the people were dismissed on the spot. The servants dragged their tired bodies and leaned against the cedar for a rest, while Ming You and the others returned to their horses and descended the mountain.Passing by Jiangzi Mountain Villa, Jiang Mingli got off the horse and invited them in to have a cup of tea to warm up their bodies. Ming You and the Wolf King exchanged glances and waved their hands repeatedly to decline.The Wolf King stared at the plaque hanging above the main entrance. The four gold-embellished characters "Jiangzi Mountain Villa" have been engraved on the sore spots in his and Ming You's hearts. It needs to add a bit of sadness." Ming You nodded, grasping the reins tightly and preparing to set off.

At this time, an old man with white eyebrows and long beard hurried out of the villa with a child.The old man knelt down in front of the dark horse with a fly whisk in his hand, and the little boy behind him also knelt down, lifting the tray in his hand to the top of his head, and the two white jade wine glasses on the tray were filled with sake.

"Master Mingyou, please think twice, Crimson Purple Villa cannot live without you." The old man pressed his left hand on his right hand, cupped his hands on the ground, and slowly rested his head on the ground for a while.This is the most solemn salute among the three kowtows and nine prostrations - Jishou, which is often used by courtiers when they meet the king.

Ming You hastily got off his horse and helped the old man up: "Elder Hui doesn't need to perform such a great gift." He glanced at Jiang Mingli next to him, as if he didn't mind anything, "Look, brother, I didn't mean to call you back alone. , the elders also feel that you are capable of protecting the villa," Jiang Mingli pretended to be wronged and said: "Elder Hui always taught me that I am not doing my job properly, I don't love the country and beauties, you should come back."

"The old minister sends his servants to clean your house every day, waiting for your return at any time."

"Elder Hui's heart has been accepted. Before the battle, I made an oath to my clansmen. If I lost, I would be exempted from being the owner of the village. Now I just keep my oath." Ming You handed a glass of wine to the Wolf King, and he himself After drinking half a cup, he gave the remaining half cup to Xuanyue to warm up.He bowed deeply to Elder Hui: "I am no longer the all-powerful Jiang Mingyou back then, but now all I have is an academy, a thatched cottage and a cat. Even so, I am satisfied." Then turned around The horse head said to the wolf king: "I will take Xuanyue to a place first, and I will not accompany you. I will leave." Then he pulled the rein in Xuanyue's hand and made the good horse ride away quickly.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll tell you when we get there." Ming You smiled easily, maybe this is the life he pursued, no wars, no intrigues, one thatched cottage is enough for two people to know each other and stay together.

They reined in at the cliff on the top of the mountain, and beyond the cliff was a valley, the sun was shining brightly, and the gray stones emitted a dazzling light.In the meantime, there are many colorful clouds floating in the wind in large groups, like small light-colored boats.Ming You pointed to the colorful floating clouds floating back and forth in the valley and said to Xuanyue, "This place is beautiful, isn't it?" the sound of the wind whistling in his ears.

"En." Xuanyue replied, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that Mingyou was already standing on a group of colorful clouds, floating above the valley, "Come up?"

Xuanyue frowned and looked at the misty cloud under his feet, fearing that a gust of wind would blow it away, "Come down quickly, and be careful not to fall."

"Caring about me?" Ming You smirked and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Nonsense, come down quickly."

Mingyou rode on the clouds and slowly approached Xuanyue, and stretched out her hand to him: "Do you trust me?"

Too familiar words, I do not know how many times said.Whenever Xuanyue is confused or desperate, he is like this, stretching out a palm full of sunshine and waiting in place, waiting for Xuanyue to willingly put the cold fingertips into his palm, hold him tightly, and take him away .

Without thinking about it, Xuanyue put her hand into Mingyou's broad palm, and gently climbed up the clouds.That sentence always seemed to bring him great strength, giving him the courage to face all unbearable burdens in life. "Where are you going?" He carefully clenched Mingyou's hands, not daring to look down at his feet.

"The ends of the earth." Ming You put her finger to her mouth and blew a long whistle, and the cloud under her feet dragged the two of them forward at high speed as if they were being ordered.There was a heavy sound of wind ringing in my ears, and sometimes a large group of clouds rushed towards my face, making cold and fine water droplets on my face.Xuanyue often heard people say that gods fly on auspicious clouds, but now that she has experienced it for herself, she doesn't feel at ease.

Gradually moving forward, the colors of the sky and the earth began to blend slowly. The blue of the sky and the black of the earth seemed to be a harmonious gray-blue ink mixed with a brush. If you didn't look carefully, you thought it was an ink painting in front of you.

It wasn't until Yun Duo stopped and the two of them landed on the ground that Xuanyue felt more at ease. He was sure that he absolutely didn't like the vague sense of insecurity on Yun Duo.Right in front of it stands a big stone standing at the intersection of heaven and earth. It is wide enough to be surrounded by three or four adult men. On it is engraved with four large red characters - "The ends of the earth and the corners of the earth." It is engraved with the traces of nature's wind knife and frost sword, and there are some other small characters, which seem to be the names of people.

Mingyou groped for the stone body, found a relatively flat place on it, bit her finger to write and draw on it, Xuanyue could see clearly that it was her name, she turned her face to look at Mingyou suspiciously.

"It is said that as long as you write a person's name with blood on the stones at the ends of the earth, you can never forget it." Mingyou's deep green eyes met Shang Xuanyue's clear eyes, "No matter how many lives you reincarnate, no matter when and where, Always remember." He held Xuanyue's face in his hands, gently pecked his lips, from the corner of his mouth to the tip of his tongue, invading bit by bit, slowly devouring all his emotions.

I want you to be happy for me, sad for me, cry for me, play the piano and sing for me.I want to remember you, just like the oath that I can't break forever, printed on my heart, and will never forget each other from generation to generation.

Ming You remembers that she once promised Jia Ling that as long as she wins the last battle, she will bring him to the ends of the earth and swear to all things in the world that they will go on together.In the end, when Wufang's sword pierced through Jialing's body, and the donated blood flowed into the ground, he collapsed at Mingyou's feet and twitched in pain, reaching out to grab the hem of Mingyou's clothes, his agile eyes gradually dimmed to gray, "Forget... forget me……"

But now Mingyou has found a reason to forget, because there is someone who needs his protection and love, because he has the responsibility to prevent Xuanyue from becoming the next victim of war and love.This is a confession to Jialing and a promise to Xuanyue.

Xuanyue lowered her eyes, and the waves of her eyes flowed into streams of falling flowers.He bit his finger and scratched out Mingyou's name next to his name.Xuanyue doesn't want to talk about vows of eternal love, it is as ethereal as the clouds in Caiyunzhou, and even incomparable to the gurgling springs in the forest of Tianling Mountain, flowing thinly and long into every lovesick dream.

"I just want to see if it is true that I will never forget it forever," he still insisted, "If it doesn't work..."

"If it doesn't work, I will be punished to search for you from generation to generation until I find you."

As long as you believe in it, don't let it go. Life after life, the two will never forget each other.
