Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword - Chapter 55

Xuan Qing, with only three copper plates in his purse, could not teach the child to make money, so under the child’s lost gaze, the floating flower whip the wagon and drove away. Lin Rufei sat in the car and chatted with Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing said that she came out of Nanyin Temple. She has traveled abroad for three years, and she has been to many places. She also encountered many strange things. Lin Rufei listened with interest, and asked a few words from time to time. The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

“Why did Master go to the Dajing Palace this time?” Lin Rufei curiously said.

“I heard that there seems to be a noble person contaminated with evil spirits, so I asked the monk to do things in the past.” Xuan Qingdao said, “Lin Gongzi, who is going to give the invitation?”

Lin Rufei said: “The Prince of Dajing Day Rui.”

“Oh, it’s him.” Xuan Qing showed his expression.

During the day, Rui is the prince of Dajing. He has reached eight realms. He is the only sword monk who has passed the five realms. However, the reputation in the folk is not too good. Although talented, he is a real smiling tiger, with a temperament and moodiness. Although it is not as good as the common people, but those who dare to provoke him have nothing to end. According to rumors in the field, he smiled at the sight of Rui Rui during the day, and also laughed when he made friends with Rui Rui during the day. He was still laughing when he was killed by a sword. And the most infiltrating thing is that this smile is not a disguise, but he can see the true feelings at all times-he really treats you as a friend and really wants to kill you.

These rumors are so loud that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But Lin Rufei has long been accustomed to various swordsmen with strange temperaments, and there is nothing particularly strange about this rumored image of Rui during the day.

“He’s stubborn, and he likes beauty. Gongzi Lin, please remember to be careful this time.” Xuan Qing said.

Lin Rufei didn’t take Xuan Qing’s words too seriously, and said, “Why, Master knows that daytime Rui?”

Xuan Qing said, “Are you … acquainted?”

Lin Rufei always thought that Xuan Qing’s expression was a little strange, but he didn’t think much.

The hot weather was scary. Even though Fuhua put a lot of ice in the carriage to cool down, it was still sultry. Yu Rui fanned Lin Rufei and noticed that the monk Xuan Qing didn’t have a drop of sweat. He wondered: “Why don’t you sweat, Master?”

Xuan Qing laughed, “Hearts are naturally cool.”

“Quietness is naturally cool? All are deceiving.” Yu Rui mumbled.

“Monks don’t slang.” Xuan Qing said earnestly.

“Little Master didn’t lie.” Lin Rufei laughed. “Isn’t it cool to die?”

Xuan Qing nodded: “Still Lin Gongzi’s affairs.”

Yu Rui stared: “But Master Xiao is not dead, why is he so cool?”

Xuan Qing didn’t speak, just blinking and holding the floating flower, and the floating flower stared back unwillingly, staring for a while, and her eyes were red, but she found that the monk didn’t even blink. He won, and then grunted and shrank into the corner.

Lin Rufei laughed and said that Master should stop bullying his little girl.

“Amitabha Buddha.” Xuan Qing folded her hands, her face was serious. “The monk never bullies the little girl, except when telling ghost stories.”

Lin Rufei laughed again.

In the ten-day journey, Lin Rufei also learned a lot about this Xuanqing. This monk is very interesting and knows a lot, even the secrets of the Dajing royal family. He also spoke with Lin Rufei. three. Whatever the father and son are, the brothers are against the wall, which is common in the royal family. But there are also some interesting things, such as the prince fascinated with a woman, even the throne is gone, who knew that when the two were about to get married, a fairy teacher suddenly appeared, saying that the woman was a monster that harmed the prince . Then cast a spell on the spot, hit the woman back to the prototype-a poor rabbit essence. When the prince saw a anger, he cut off the head of the fairy with a sword, carefully picked up the rabbit, rubbed the rabbit’s ears, and just went home in front of everyone.

Yu Rui was stunned, saying that it could still be so. According to the normal plot, it should not be the prince who was terrified, and finally let the fairy master demote the monster.

“Yes, everyone thinks so, and besides that Dajing and the demon clan have great revenge, the big prince should also be clear.” Xuan Qingdao, “But this thing, there was a big reversal later.”

“What reverse?” Yu Rui asked.

“It was after the immortal division was chopped off that head that the corpse turned into a monster, and the woman was raised at the eldest prince’s house for half a month, and then restored her human form.” Xuan Qingdao, “Later I found someone to check, I knew the woman It’s not rabbit essence at all, but it was wronged by the immortal master. “

Yu Rui exclaimed: “Can you still do this?”

“The royal thing is something you can’t think of, and you can’t do it.” Xuan Qing shook her head, his voice was very emotional. “Fortunately, the great prince was firm and determined, and did not give the people a chance to take advantage of … just a pity …”

“It’s a pity?” Lin Rufei Rao was interested. “What a pity?”

Xuan Qing slaps her legs and laughs: “It’s a pity that the woman was robbed by this, afraid of the royal family, and she refused to be with the great prince.”

Lin Rufei and Yu Rui stared at the same time. I did not expect that things would develop this way. According to the plot in the story, shouldn’t it be the grand prince who finally lived a happy life with his beloved.

“Finally, what happened?” Yu Rui also asked.

“Finally, the great prince under anger worked hard and became Chu Jun.” Xuan Qing said here, smiling and leaning back and forth, “It is the holy shrine nowadays-ha ha ha ha, but his little rabbit, so far Didn’t find it. “

Lin Rufei and Yu Rui were speechless. From this Xuanqing laughter, they just tasted the taste of gloating, and did not know what the origin of Xuanqing and this great prince was.

Xuan Qing smiled and waved his hands and said, “These are just rumors. Lin Gongzi should never say these in the palace, lest …” He coughed, “lest the Holy Ghosts become angry now.”

Lin Rufei nodded and said he would pay attention.

Yu Rui lost her soul beside her, apparently she couldn’t accept this too realistic ending, her expression was very complicated, she looked at Xuan Qing several times and said nothing.

As a result, they ate the hare that Yu Rui called from the mountain forest that night.

This hare is not older than domestic rabbits, and its meat is slightly older, and if it is not handled well, it will be more fishy. Fortunately, the cooking of floating flowers was so good. The rabbit meat was marinated first, and then slowly roasted on a firewood. The oil on it smelted and gave out a rich meat aroma.

It is a pity that Xuan Qing, who is not sticky, does not have this mouthfeel, and can only eat the sweet potatoes that Yu Rui specially roasted for him.

This rabbit meat tastes really good, but unfortunately the weather is too hot and Lin Rufei has a bad appetite. After eating a rabbit leg, I feel a little tired. It is still a lot of fun to make him a bowl of cool green bean soup with crushed ice. Ate some. Xuan Qing sighed at the sight, saying that Lin Gongzi’s appetite was so bad that if she didn’t eat, her body would collapse.

Lin Rufei waved his hand, it didn’t matter that he was used to it, so Xuan Qing didn’t have to worry.

In the evening, everyone went down the mountain and found a rest inn at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Rufei did not sleep well as usual, and wanted to chat with Gu Xuandu, but found that Gu Xuan did not follow him. It seems that since this Xuanqing monk came, Gu Xuandu’s words were much less. Most of the time, he stood beside Lin Rufei and remained silent, neither talking nor answering. For a while, Lin Rufei was still not used to it.

He tossed and turned on the bed for a while before he heard Gu Xuandu’s words ringing: “Why, can’t you sleep?”

“Well.” Lin Rufei said, “where did the seniors go?”

Gu Xuandu said, “I’ll go …”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Rufei: “But don’t tell me, you’re catching a ghost.”

Gu Xuandu said: “This can also be guessed?”

Lin Rufei sighed.

But even so, Gu Xuan didn’t have to explain where he went. Lin Rufei couldn’t ask any more. There was a chat with Gu Xuan who talked to Xuan Qing. Gu Xuandu said that Xuan Qing’s temper is actually good, but sometimes the angle of thinking is a little weird. Lin Rufei said strangely: “Listening to the predecessors’ tone, it seems like I have known this monk for a long time.”

Gu Xuandu said, “Are you there?”

Lin Rufei said: “There is naturally.”

“It’s probably that you feel wrong.” Gu Xuan was a little bit confused and didn’t know what he was thinking. “You’re going to the Dajing Palace in a few days. You have to be careful.”

Lin Rufei said: “What do seniors know?”

Gu Xuandu shook his head: “I don’t know anything, but since they all called Xuan Qing to help in the past, it must be a bit troublesome and not easy to resolve.”

Lin Rufei thoughtfully.

Gu Xuandu’s tone was slow. After chatting with Lin Rufei a few more times, he became drowsy. Lin Rufei urged him to rest. He yawned, his long sleeves swayed, and his shape disappeared In front of Lin Rufei. His condition seemed very wrong. Looking at him like this, Lin Rufei suddenly remembered what happened on the Xiliang Mountain. Could it be a trip to the palace, and Gu Xuan had everything he needed?

Lin Rufei thought more and more the more he thought, lying in bed and thinking for a long time, until the morning light was faint, then took a nap.

The next day, the carriage hit the road again, and Lin Rufei leaned against the window to doze.

Dajing’s imperial city is called Deng Xiao, and the reason for this name is that there are stars everywhere in Deng Xiao, which are not dark all night. This rule has been in place for a long time, but I don’t know why. But the name Lantern Xiao has indeed been passed down for a century.

Lin Rufei likes the word Lantern, so she is full of expectations for the imperial city.

The closer you are to the imperial city, the more prosperous the surroundings, the greater the openness of the people, and the handsome men walking along the road, there will be bold girls throwing beautiful silk flowers on him.

Lin Rufei didn’t know Dajing’s rules before, she was taken aback. The weather was hot. The woman who threw flowers to Lin Rufei wore a short shirt and skirt, her hair curled up, and her waist was exposed. When she saw Lin Rufei’s eyes glaring, she seemed to be scared by herself, and she burst into a smile with an overwhelming smile. She talked in a local dialect, but unfortunately Lin Rufei could not understand a word.

In the end, the floating flowers and Yu Rui helped Lin Rufei stop the peach blossoms that popped out along the road. The maids smiled when they saw that their son was being teased.

Lin Rufei was shocked: “This is too direct.”

“Da Jing is such a style.” Xuan Qing laughed, “the son can get used to it faster.” Although Lin Rufei looked a little weak and pale, her appearance was very good, in one fell swoop. Every move reveals the pride of everyone’s children, which naturally attracts many girls who like beauty. But Lin Rufei herself apparently didn’t realize that the look of surprise when the woman put silk flowers in her arms was really cute.

Lin Rufei did not speak. The most unrestrained girl he had ever seen was his third sister, Lin Ying. But in the end, there is a big brother pressing on the house. No matter how unrestrained Lin Lin can’t toss out flowers, when he arrives in Dajing, he sees different customs and customs.

The closer you are to Dajing, the more temples surrounding Tianjun will be. Some of these temples are magnificent and magnificent, and some are only small temples built by the roadside. Heaven in clothing. Although Lin Rufei has long heard of Dajing’s respect for Tianjun, he was shocked when he saw these sights.

After Tianjun crossed the robbery that year, most people said that he stepped out of the void and became an immortal, but there are also rumors in the world that Tianjun did not leave, but he failed to cross the robbery, was repaired, and forced to hide Beyond that, there are more weird claims that are not trivial.

Xuan Qing also seems to have a different feeling for Tianjun. When he sees Tianjun’s temple, he will definitely go and worship. If there is more money, he will definitely buy a stick of incense. It’s a pity that he was shy in his pockets at this time. There were only three copper plates left. Lin Rufei wanted to lend him money, and he refused to.

“Just tell Tianjun monk some intention first,” Xuan Qing said, “this money changed the taste after accepting alms from others. Besides … it was still Lin Gongzi’s.”

Lin Rufei said: “What happened to my money?”

Xuan Qing smiled and said, “I was in the carriage of the father-in-law and eating with the father-in-law on this way, which has caused him a lot of trouble. How can I ask for money again?”

This is true, but Lin Rufei always thinks that Xuan Qing’s words just don’t mean it. This monk is not pedantic, he knows how to be flexible, and he should n’t be stuck on these small things, but his resolute attitude makes Lin Rufei not good at persuading.

In another day, it was time to enter the Lantern Festival, but Gu Xuandu suddenly popped out at night. His figure faded a lot, and his voice sounded very weak.

“There are objects restraining me in the palace, I’m afraid I can’t show up.” Gu Xuandu said, “If there is anything wrong with Xiao Chi, remember to ask Xuan Qing for help.”

Lin Rufei’s expression shook: “The things in the palace are the same as those on the Xiliang Mountain, and are they also needed by the predecessors?”

Gu Xuandu hesitated slightly, but under Lin Rufei’s scorching gaze, he nodded and then sank: “If that thing is there, the imperial city will be very dangerous. It’s so aggressive on Liangshan. “

Lin Rufei nodded and said yes.

Gu Xuandu ordered a few more words before he faded away. It seems that the incident on the Xiliang Mountain scared Gu Xuan all lightly, otherwise, he would not reiterate with Lin Rufei repeatedly, for fear that Lin Rufei would have something unexpected. Lin Rufei was curious at this time, what was in the Dajing Palace.

Stepping on the morning sun, the carriage was on the road again. Today they can reach the Lantern Festival and stay in the Lantern Festival for one night. Lin Rufei’s invitation should be sent out the next day.

In the end, it was the imperial city. Before entering, Lin Rufei saw the tall and towering city walls and the heavily armed soldiers stationed beside the city walls.

Lin Rufei handed in the paperwork, and the soldiers carefully checked it, and waved his hand for release. But at Xuan Qing, the soldier’s attitude was different. First, he repeatedly confirmed with enthusiasm whether he was really Master Xuan Qing. After getting a positive answer, he immediately asked someone to report.

Xuan Qing waved her hand to stop the soldier’s behavior and said that she would visit the palace again tomorrow so that they would not disturb the top.

The soldier wanted to say something more, but when Xuan Qing insisted, he had no choice but to send someone to invite Xuan Qing to stay in the best inn in Dengxiao City, and even Lin Rufei was taken as a guest.

Sitting on the carriage, Lin Rufei smiled and said that he was stained with Xuan Qing’s light, but who knew that Xuan Qing shook his head and sighed, saying that he had nothing to offer, and he was afraid of trouble.

“What’s the trouble?” Lin Rufei said.

Xuan Qing said: “I’ve been to the Lantern Festival three times, and I have helped the royal family to solve the trouble the first two times, but I have never been treated like this …” He sighed. “It’s better to leave me alone.”

The more enthusiastic the attitude is, the more troublesome it is. Now even the little soldier who keeps the door knows that he is coming, and Xuanqing misses Amitabha.

At the inn, the royal family arranged a few more room for them, and thoughtfully prepared Zhaifan.

Xuan Qing refused because of physical discomfort, and returned to the room behind closed doors. Lin Rufei thought that this had nothing to do with himself. Who knew that those people could not find Xuan Qing, he thought he was Xuan Qing’s friend. Talk to him for a while.

Lin Rufei learned from their tone that something really happened in the palace, three emperors and three emperors, two seriously injured and one unconscious. The remaining three were uneasy and scared all day. Hysteria has been happening for almost a month. I was just afraid of the public panic. I did n’t dare to spread the news, but the folks still have some gossip recently. If we continue to do so, this matter will not be suppressed. . For this reason, the royal family invited the monk Master Xuanqing from Nanyin Temple overnight and wanted to calm down the matter as soon as possible.

After Lin Rufei indicated that she was the Lin family, they warmly invited Lin Rufei to enter the palace with Xuan Qing tomorrow, and said that Prince Rui would also be present at that time, and Lin Rufei would just hand in the invitation to him. Lin Rufei took a moment to measure it, and answered it.

Before they left, they said that the Lantern Festival had a curfew, so Lin Rufei must remember to take an early rest and not to wander outside.

Lin Rufei said okay, but felt very regretful. Lantern Xiao is famous for its night scene, but did not expect to encounter a curfew.

After the Lantern Festival, Gu Xuandu completely disappeared, and even if Lin Rufei lost sleep, he did not come out to chat with him again.

Lin Rufei had something in her heart, and she didn’t sleep very well. In the ups and downs, she ushered in the first morning light.

I woke up in the morning and finished washing. When I went out, I saw Xuan Qing sitting at the table for breakfast. He greeted Lin Rufei with a smile and asked him how he slept last night.

“Not so good.” Lin Rufei yawned.

“I don’t sleep well, either,” Xuan Qing said.

“Why are you worried about things in the palace?” Lin Rufei asked.

Xuan Qing nodded earnestly and said, “If this matter cannot be solved, the monk is afraid of starving to death.” Then he took out his own purse, and there were only three copper coins left in it. I used the incense to buy incense, and at this time nothing could be shaken out.

Although he said very seriously, Lin Rufei couldn’t help laughing, saying that Master Xuanqing didn’t need to worry. If he really wanted to starve to death, he would come to himself and guarantee a meal for the master to enjoy.

Xuan Qing said earnestly: “Then he accepted the good intentions of Gongzi.”

While the two were talking, the carriage in the palace had stopped at the door, and the guard with a knife wearing a vermilion red guard dress walked in front of them, arching their hands, sharp eyes swept away from Lin Rufei and Xuan Qing’s faces. After that, he said, “The two are Lin Gongzi and Master Xuanqing?”

Xuan Qing and Lin Rufei nodded.

“Please, here.” The guard’s hand raised his hand and pointed to the carriage at the door. “The saint is already waiting in the palace.” The saint is the current emperor of Dajing and the great prince in the story of Xuanqing. His surname is Bai, His name is Bai Jinglun, who is now a half-brother of Prince Rui Ruyi, who is three years older than Rui Ruyi.

Lin Rufei took floating flower Yu Rui and Xuan Qing to the carriage together.

The curtain fell, the driver raised his whip, and the sound of a horse’s hoof came up from the stone road. The guard and Lin Rufei entered the carriage together and sat opposite Lin Rufei. His expression was extremely dignified, and his body was extremely extreme. A state of vigilance is like guarding against something.

“How is the three princesses?” Xuan Qing asked.

The guard looked at Lin Rufei, and seemed to be hesitant to elaborate on the private affairs of the royal before him. When Xuan Qing saw this, she said lightly, “Lin Gongzi’s family is not an outsider, but it doesn’t matter.”

The guard hesitated for a moment, and whispered: “The three princesses are still in a coma. They have laid out the array around them as instructed by Master Xuan Qing before, but … useless.”

“Have you ever been there again?” Xuan Qing asked again.

“Come here.” The guard gritted his teeth, and when he said that, he was so hard that the blue tendons on his forehead appeared, and he said, “Last night … I went to the saint’s bedroom.” He finished This sentence took another heavy breath, “The guard at the door didn’t see anything at all.”

Xuan Qing’s expression was condensed: “Bedroom? Did the thing go in?”

“Yes,” said the guard, “dozens of blood fingerprints were left by the saint’s bed …”

Xuan Qing heard the words lost in thought.

Lin Rufei came to interest, thing? what? Is it something that Gu Xuan wants? However, listening to the description does not seem very similar, it is like talking about living things that can be moved.

“The prince did not enter the palace?” Xuan Qing asked again.

“In, I went to bed next to the saint at night, but … I didn’t notice anything strange.” The guard smiled wryly. “So the saints will be so anxious.”

What would be a thing that even the Eight Realms Sword Master could not detect? Lin Rufei finally understood vaguely what the trouble in Gu Xuandu’s mouth meant.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Weakness, you need a little leek to be good

Lin Ru Fei Mo fists: Finally it’s your turn to be poor, weak and helpless!

Gu Xuandu: …………
