Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Xuan Qing has left Nanyin Temple for many years.

More than a decade ago, I happened to pass by Dajing, and accidentally encountered the daytime Rui and Bai Jinglun who were still young. At that time, Bai Jinglun was not as stable as he is now, and his temperament was actually similar to that of daytime Rui. It can even be said that he was more proud and wayward than Daytime Rui. After all, the eldest prince born by Xunzi was raised in the palm of her hand like an eyeball from an early age. Whatever she wanted, how could she be wronged. At the time, Rui Tian, ​​who had not become the prince at that time, devoted himself to the sword. At first glance, it seemed a little simpler than Bai Jinglun.

Dajing's folk customs are open, and Tianjun's temples are everywhere, which is a good thing for Xuan Qing. After all, from Nanyin to Dajing, he has walked thousands of miles, and the entanglement on his body has been exhausted for a long time. At this time, he has no money and can only live by huayuan. What's more, there is a rule that outsiders don't know about the transformation of Nanyin Temple, that is, they can only take things, they cannot collect money.

Because of this rule, when Xuan Qing arrived in Dajing, he could not even take out a copper plate in the purse, and could only rely on the help of a kind person to barely suffer.

Under such circumstances, Xuan Qing accidentally encountered Bai Jinglun.

He happened to be drinking water at the wellhead that day, and came by two young Jinyi boys riding high-headed horses. The young man's horse stopped next to him, and looked at him with interest, while talking softly. The two thought they were far apart, and the monk would not know what they were talking about. I did n’t know that the monk was not an ordinary monk, and he understood the conversation between the two from a distance.

Bai Jinglun opened his mouth first and said, "Brother, do you say this monk is a real monk or a fake monk?"

During the day Rui Rui glanced at Xuan Qing: "I guess it is true, how can a fake monk be so poor?"

Bai Jinglun said: "Then we bet."

Daytime Rui said: "What bet?"

Bai Jinglun gathered a whisper in Rui's ear during the day, and then the two hit it off.

Bai Jinglun turned over and dismounted, smiled and walked to the monk, and asked, "Where did Master come from?"

Xuan Qing folded her hands, Wen said, "In a small temple to the west."

Bai Jinglun said, "Where is Master going next?"

Xuan Qing said: "The monk intends to dissolve the fate."

Bai Jinglun heard the words, and found out a piece of gold, handed it to Xuan Qing, and smiled, "It's such a hot day, Master has worked hard. This is my bit of heart, and I hope Master will not dislike it."

Where did Xuan Qing pick up, she shook her head and refused the goodwill of daytime Rui, saying that she didn't collect cash.

Bai Jinglun narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, carefully looked at Xuan Qing, and then retracted his hand after a while: "What did the Master accept?"

"Just fasting," Xuan Qing replied.

After this remark, there was a laughing laughter of Rui Ruixi in the day, apparently mocking Bai Jinglun for losing. Bai Jinglun raised his chin and gave Xuan Qing a glance, and then turned away with a slight hum, probably thinking that the monk was boring. If you don't have any money, what do you want for fasting?

Xuan Qing watched Rui and Bai Jinglun go away during the day. At that time, it was naive to think that his fate with the two teenagers had stopped here. Who knew that for a few days, they met again, but this time, Xuan Qing suffered. Seriously injured, Wolverine hiding in a temple to heal.

Coincidentally, Bai Jinglun who came in to worship Tianjun smelled the **** smell of him, and found the dark blue hiding in the corner. He saw the gentle and dignified young monk sitting awkwardly in the corner a few days ago, all over his body. It was blood, and Bai Jinglun stopped, squatted down, and awakened the half-coma.

"Why are you hurt so badly?" Bai Jinglun's tone was somewhat discerning. "Who is so brave, dare to hurt a monk in Dajing."

Xuan Qing reluctantly answered, "It's a monk's business."

Bai Jinglun tilted his head and looked at him: "Why don't you go and ask a Langzhong to look for you?"

Xuan Qingdao: "No money."

Bai Jinglun: "..."

This answer was a bit embarrassing. Bai Jinglun was stuck in place. How could I never expect to get this answer from the monk's mouth. He wanted to ask again, but the monk passed out because he was too injured. Bai Jinglun thought about it and thought that he couldn't put the monk here. In case of death, wouldn't it be auspicious. After all, this temple is his favorite one, and the statue of Tianjun in it is also the most beautiful one. Bai Jinglun, who wanted to understand this, reached out and picked up the monk, turned on his horse, and galloped away all the way, so he entered the palace.

Xuan Qing in a coma entered the palace of Dajing for the first time. If he knew the fate of the Dajing royal family in the future, he would climb out of that temple, but now it is too late to think.

Xuan Qing, who was taken into the palace, drank a lot of medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and treated the injury safely and steadily for a period of time. His body finally recovered, and he planned to leave. Before leaving, however, he went to Bai Jinglun and asked him if he had any wish to speak to the monk.

Bai Jinglun has no seriousness, so what kind of wish can he achieve?

The monk was also not angry, and Wen said, "The donor says nothing."

Bai Jinglun took out three ingots of gold from the purse, handed it to Xuan Qing, and said earnestly: "I just want to give monks silver money once, I wonder if the monk can make a case for me?" As a teenager, he was obsessed with losing Following the gambling game with my brother, I didn't realize what this move meant.

Xuan Qing's humiliating appearance has changed after Bai Jinglun said these words. He slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "Can your Highness change her wish?"

"No," Bai Jinglun sneered. "Did you just say, can any wish be fulfilled? I just have such a wish, monk you simply, collect your money and leave!"

Xuan Qing was speechless, staring at the gold in Bai Jinglun's hands as if staring at a hot potato.

Bai Jinglun began to think that this monk was being held hostage, but later found that the pain in his expression was not fraud, but his interest was even more. He lived for twenty years and heard a lot of hypocritical politeness, but for the first time he saw that some people really regarded silver money as a tiger and a wolf, but he was even more curious.

How can anyone in the world dislike money? Bai Jinglun couldn't figure it out.

The two were deadlocked for a long time, and finally Xuanzang lost. Bai Jinglun was stubborn like a stone when he was young. How could he be his opponent, and he owed him a life-saving grace. Thinking about it, Xuan Qing had to reach out and take over the gold.

As soon as the three shiny gold ingots entered Xuanqing's hand, they made a sizzling sound. Looking at Xuanqing's original white palm, she was burnt with three black marks.

Bai Jinglun was shocked when he saw the situation. He took Xuan Qing's hand and took a closer look, only to find that everything he had just seen was like an illusion.

"Amitabha." The monk retracted his hand and saluted to Bai Jinglun. "The monk then left."

"Let's go." Bai Jinglun waved his hand, feeling that this monk was very evil.

The monk took a bag out of his arms and reached out and handed it to Bai Jinglun, saying: "The monk is from Nanyin. If your Royal Highness is in trouble, please burn a bead and the monk will come over as soon as possible."

At this time, Bai Jinglun didn't know what Nanyin Temple meant. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw the monk's stubborn expression, he refused to say anything. Bring the bag over and throw it into the fruit plate in front of you, saying, "I see."

Xuan Qing sighed and turned away.

Three ingots of gold and thirty sandalwood beads. The rules in Nanyin Temple have been set long ago, so Xuan Qing has been out for so long. He never received money. He never encountered it. Someone saved him and had to give him money.

This is probably the predestination in Master's mouth, although from the perspective of Xuan Qing, this predestination is really a sinful predestination.

Xuan Qing said here that she had very little expression, and sighed in her mouth. However, although Lin Rufei listened to the trouble in his mouth, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, he knew that he did not actually hate Bai Jinglun.

Yeah, who would hate such an interesting young man who just didn't know that these thirty sandalwood beads would burn to the year of the monkey.

Gold is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, the monk's fate was thin and light, and he couldn't hold it. Xuan Qing shook her head and sighed.

"Master said a lot." Lin Rufei laughed. "Now the beads have been burned three times?"

"Well," Xuan Qing said, "unconsciously, they are not teenagers."

One became an emperor over ten thousand people, and the other became a sword repair for the Eight Realms. They were not mortals.

Lin Rufei said: "Does the monk drink?"

Xuan Qingdao: "Lin Gongzi wants to invite me to drink?"

Lin Rufei said with a smile: "Don't give you money while you are drunk. What are you so nervous about?"

Xuan Qing blinked and laughed, "It doesn't matter if you drink."

Lin Rufei took out a pot of unopened wine from his Xumi ring and called the palace people to bring two cups. It's a pity that this wine and Gu Xuandu gave him a drink that day, one heaven and one underground. After drinking that wine, he drank the rest, which was nothing like water.

Xuan Qing saw Lin Rufei's unending expression, and smiled and asked why he looked like this.

"Just drinking this wine reminds me of other good wines I have had before." Lin Rufei said, "After drinking that wine, I always feel that other liquors are too weak."

Xuan Qingdao: "Oh, there is such a good wine in the world?"

Lin Rufei described it in detail, but after listening to Xuan Qing, she was silent for a moment and whispered: "It seems that the monk has also drank."

"Master has drank it?" Lin Rufei said.

"Um." Xuan Qing said, "I have an old friend. Although the cooking is not good, making some small pastries is very delicious. And the most famous thing in his craft is the art of brewing." He took a sip, gentlely, "As long as you drink his wine, no other wine can be seen."

"You must have a good relationship." Lin Rufei said.

"Yes." Xuan Qing answered.

"Where is he now?" Lin Rufei asked casually.

"Dead," Xuan Qing whispered slowly.

Lin Rufei stunned, then embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn't mean it ..."

Xuan Qing waved her hand, signaled that it was unharmed, and said blandly: "For ordinary people, life and death may be taboo, but for monks, life and death are as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

Lin Rufei said, "Will Master be sad?"

Xuan Qing smiled and said, "The monk is not a puppet, and of course it will be sad."

Lin Rufei said, "Why is it like eating and sleeping?"

Xuan Qing said earnestly: "If you have something unpleasant to eat, will you be sad?"

Speaking of unpleasant things, Lin Rufei immediately thought of the traditional Chinese medicine boiled by Yuhua and Yu Rui, and his face wrinkled instantly, and he nodded in agreement: "Sad, really sad."

Xuan Qing laughed.

The two chatted all night until the morning light faded.

Xuan Qing called the palace people to get out of the palace with the carriage and Lin Rufei. The two returned to the inn and ate something casually before going to rest. Lin Rufei stayed up all night, and drank a lot of alcohol, but did not lose sleep, and fell asleep at noon. He rose to the top, and squeezed the corner of his eyes to let the floating flower send the sober soup. When he slowly walked downstairs, he saw Xuan Qing sitting in the lobby for lunch.

Lin Rufei sat down opposite him, and said with a headache, "How did Master get up so early?"

Xuan Qing smiled and said, "It's probably because the monk has better alcohol than the son."

Lin Rufei sighed.

Xuan Qing has a good appetite. She is happy eating the fasting meal in front of her, but Lin Rufei has no appetite and just feels a headache. Xuan Qing saw no sympathy for him, but laughed all the time, and Lin Rufei, who was smiling, was very resentful.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered, why do you have to drag this thing for a day?" Lin Rufei said, he always felt that Xuan Qing should be able to resolve the matter of the three princesses yesterday.

Xuan Qing sighed: "Lin Gongzi, you know, in fact, most fathers are very distressed to their daughters."

Lin Rufei frowned.

Xuan Qingdao: "But if you are an emperor, your father's side is not that heavy."

Lin Rufei did not understand: "What do you mean?"

"Actually, the third princess is not the biological daughter of the consort." Xuan Qing whispered.

Lin Rufei stayed, but did not expect that a private private matter that should not be known emerged from Xuan Qing's mouth: "Is it ..."

"Yes." Xuan Qingdao said, "At that time, the concubine had difficulty giving birth, and the child was actually gone as soon as the child was born, but not many people knew about it, even ... the concubine herself did not know."

Lin Rufei said, "Whose children are the three princesses?" An idea came to his mind, and it was incredible, "Rabbit essence?"

Xuan Qingdao: "Smart."

Lin Rufei was speechless for a while, and felt that these facts of the royal family were troublesome.

"You know, rabbits give birth to a baby all their lives." Xuan Qing said, "That rabbit gave birth to eleven dolls in one breath ... It wasn't unacceptable to bring one to his father. It happened. After all, the eleven children without fathers were really a headache. "He seemed to have seen the scene, showing his horror.

Lin Rufei also listened for a moment, although he had never raised a child, but thought of the scene of a dozen cubs crying together, he felt creepy.

"Not easy." Xuan Qing shook her head.

Lin Rufei didn't know what to say for a moment, simply picked up chopsticks and ate some vegetarian fast with Xuan Qing. After eating, he returned to the inn to make up for a sleep, and when they were called by the floating flowers, it was already dusk.

Fuhua said that the carriage in the palace had been waiting outside for a while, but Xuan Qing told them not to rush to wake up Lin Rufei first. After Lin Rufei washed, she changed her dress, went out on the carriage, and saw Xuanzang sitting with her eyes closed and chanting.

"Let's go." Xuan Qing nodded at the guard sitting next to him when Lin Rufei came.

The guard called to the driver, and the carriage slowly moved towards the palace.

At this moment, there was a different atmosphere in the palace. Xuan Qing asked the guards what could happen during the day. The guard said with a sad expression that this morning the emperor sent a big fire on the chapel. He scolded a few ministers and slammed it a few times. At noon, he turned over the old account and fined some concubines who had wanted to do it. They all knew that the emperor was in a bad mood and was afraid to touch the mold.

Xuanzang said: "Nothing else?"

The guard said, "What does the master mean?"

Xuan Qingdao: "No one was sent out to look for someone in the Holy Spirit?"

The guard smiled bitterly: "Don't make a joke about the master, naturally you're looking for it, but if that person would come, there would be such a big fire on the holy place."

Xuan Qingdao: "That's right."

The words of the two were very vague, but Lin Rufei guessed that the one in their mouth was probably the rabbit essence with a dozen children.

Finally arrived in the palace. After getting out of the carriage, before he entered the study room, he heard the angry scolding sound of Bai Jinglun from the inside. Judging from the content, he should be scolding his children until the people outside came in. The announcement stopped before the voice stopped. When Lin Rufei entered, he saw the calm and noble Emperor Jing Jing again.

The five princess princesses kneeled in front of the emperor. It seemed that all but the three princesses had been called. Judging from their faces, they had obviously been scolded for a while, and they were trembling and bland. When the emperor let them down in a cold voice, if several people were pardoned, they quickly retreated. During the day, Rui Bai had been sitting next to tea and watching the drama when Bai Jinglun scolded her son. There was no meaning to comfort a few words. Looking at the expression, she could not wait for Bai Jinglun to scold her for several rounds.

"Master Xuanqing, son Lin, please sit down." Bai Jinglun waved and motioned for the two to sit down, Shen said, "It's all indisputable things."

Xuan Qingdao: "Holy God beware of anger and hurt yourself."

"If I die, they must be mad at them." Bai Jinglun said indifferently. "It's all because of my inadequate governance, that has made the palace more talkative and wronged."

Xuan Qing sighed and didn't speak.

Bai Jinglun said: "Master Xuanqing is ready?"

"Okay," Xuan Qing said, "but I still need to do something for me."

Lin Rufei said strangely, "Me? What can I do for you?"

Xuan Qing smiled and said, "Of course you can."

Lin Rufei did not know why, but when she saw Xuanqing's tone was firm, she no longer questioned.

Bai Jinglun said: "The princess is next door, Tianrui, you can also help Master Xuanqing a little, I will not pass, wait until the princess wakes up ... let the palace person call me." He sat down and drank A sip of hot tea revealed some tiredness in my eyes, and it was estimated that I did not sleep last night.

During the day, Rui Tao had a good voice, so he got up and took Lin Rufei to go to the house next to him. The three princesses in the house were still asleep, with a calm look and no pain.

At this time, the sky will be dark, but the candlelight in the room will look like the daylight. Lin Rufei noticed that many candlesticks in the room were newly placed. I think it was probably Bai Jinglun who heard Xuanqing's description and was afraid. The princess was deliberately put on by the black shadow.

Xuan Qing walked to the princess and said softly and offended, so she lifted the princess lying on the bed and leaned on her shoulder.

During the day, Rui Rui stared coldly. Although there was a consistent smile on his face, it was just how cool the smile was. When Xuan Qing moved, he whispered softly: "Master Xuan Qing, do you think the three princesses are awake Is it good? "

Xuan Qingdao: "What's so bad?"

Daytime Rui said: "She doesn't wake up. My emperor has some pity for her. If she wakes up, it's time to settle accounts after the fall."

Xuan Qing looked up at him: "What does the prince mean?"

Rui spread his hands during the day and made an innocent gesture: "Isn't it such a truth? It's not a secret. Last night at midnight, the emperor sent me to Huang Yanshan overnight, and saw the same one, but the one who refused to say anything . "

Xuan Qing slightly pursed her lips: "The princess will wake up sooner or later."

During the day, Rui sighed and stopped speaking, waving her hand to signal Xuan Qing to continue, and the coolness in her expression became irritable.

Xuan Qing let the princess lean on her shoulder, and then troubled Lin Rufei to move the candlestick to the front of the princess, so that the black shadow appeared behind the princess.

Then, Xuan Qing folded her hands, and whispered in her mouth, she heard the scriptures. Lin Rufei also got involved in the scriptures and heard the content of Xuan Qingnian's scriptures. That is the Scriptures, a type of scripture commonly used to transcend undead.

With Xuan Qing's whisper, the black shadow behind the princess also began to change, constantly twisting and writhing, like the same flesh and blood.

The sleeping princess began to groan finely in her mouth, and her closed eyes began to tremble. This change became more and more severe, as if the water had been heated and gradually boiled. When reaching a critical point, the princess began to struggle and twisted. During the day, Rui saw the situation, and quickly stepped forward and held her. A layer of sweat floated on Xuan Qing's forehead, and raised her hand to Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei stepped in front of Xuan Qing and said, "What am I going to do?"

Xuan Qing whispered: "Troublesome Prince Lin, put your hand into the shadow."

Lin Rufei heard his words and gently pressed his hand on the black shadow. Who knew that the black shadow was like a quagmire and swallowed his hand directly? Xuan Qing grasped Lin Rufei's wrist and stopped him. As the shadow continued to devour, he began to chant again.

"Ah !!!" The princess screamed screaming, and with the action of Xuan Qing, Black Shadow also made a terrible sound like the separation of flesh. Xuan Qing held Lin Rufei's wrist and pulled his hand from the black shadow inch by inch. At the same time, the black shadow attached to Lin Rufei's hand gradually separated from the shadow of the princess. This separation seemed very painful to the princess, and she kept screaming and screaming as if tortured. Finally, the white Jinglun waiting in the nearby room was also recruited. Seeing her like this, Bai Jinglun could not help but step over to the bed, took her carefully into her arms, and coaxed: "Mou Mo is not afraid, Where is dad, where is dad ... "

The princess clutched Bai Jinglun's blouse and lived crying.

Xuan Qing didn't have time to watch the scene of this father's filial piety. He was sweating so much that he finally pulled the two shadows apart, and there was no blood on his lips. The black shadow was attached to Lin Rufei's arm, and he was about to follow Lin Rufei's arm and spread to his body, but Lin Rufei's hand was suddenly held, and a long-lost figure appeared in Lin Ru stunned. In front of Fei, his face was as beautiful as when he first saw him. His narrow phoenix eyes had a thick smile, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his tone was soft like a spring breeze. He said, "Little leek, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Lin Rufei responded softly in his heart: Seniors, long time no see.

After a long absence, Gu Xuandu finally appeared again.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Lee, have you missed me?

Lin Rufei pointed to the corner of his mouth

Gu Xuandu: I left a little in advance
