How many times rose flowers

Chapter 28

Jixue found herself waking up in a side hall.Everything that happened before falling asleep was the same as the fragment, Jixue only knew in a trance that she had drunk and passed out.As for then?Then she doesn't remember anything.

It was the middle of the night, but because Jixue had slept for a long time during the day, she didn't feel tired for a while.She got up and lit the candlestick, but she didn't see Huaci's figure.She seemed to remember that Huaci was still there before she was drunk... Jixue searched around the side hall with doubts, and found Huaci sleeping soundly on the couch next to her.

His Highness the Ninth Princess fell asleep in a very upright posture, and when she was lying flat, her hands rested quietly in front of her body.She was covered with a thin blanket, and Jixue looked out the window, which was still snowing.

After only a second of hesitation, Jixue carefully picked up Huaci and moved her to the bed.The girl's skeleton has grown, but it doesn't look too heavy. Jixue has been practicing martial arts all year round, so it is not particularly difficult to hold her.

Lying back on the bed, Jixue suddenly felt sleepy, and soon fell asleep again.Sure enough, sleepiness is contagious.In her sleep, she thought drowsily.

Some people say that the best thing in the world is to sleep till dawn.For this point, Jixue deeply agrees.When the next day was three poles high, Jixue reluctantly opened her eyes, and saw Huaci looking at herself strangely.

Jixue suddenly felt some soreness in her neck, probably due to a stiff neck.She reached out and rubbed her neck, but found that Hua Ci's expression was even more indescribable.

"Ah Jiu, you..."

"Why am I lying in bed?"

"I saw you sleeping on the couch last night. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I..."

"Well, thank you."

Hearing Jixue's explanation, Huaci's expression obviously improved a lot.After a while, both of them washed and dressed, and Jixue asked tentatively, "Ah Jiu, what happened after I got drunk yesterday?"

In fact, what Jixue wants to know more is what happened to her when she was drunk yesterday to make His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess see her expression like this.

Huaci suddenly smiled narrowly, Jixue couldn't figure out what she meant, but saw her wave her hand, motioning for herself to listen with her ears.Jixue walked up to her, stood on tiptoe and put her ear next to her.

Now Huaci is no longer in the form of a 16-year-old girl, but has returned to her original form-about 19 years old.And this change is reflected in the fact that she was originally about the same height as Jixue, but now she has become a lot taller out of thin air, and Jixue has to stand on tiptoe to reach her.

"Well, Sister Shenxian said she likes Ah Jiu." Huaci said solemnly.

Jixue usually teases others by herself, and is rarely teased by others. When she heard this, her ears couldn't help but blush.She still maintained a cold face, and said: "His Royal Highness Ninth Princess is so cute, who doesn't like it."

Huaci burst into laughter with a "puchi", and Jixue also laughed inexplicably.The two laughed for a while, until there was a knock on the door outside, and then they stopped.

"Sixteen." Luo Yifeng stood in front of the door and shouted.

Huaci opened the door, Luo Yifeng handed her the umbrella, and was about to leave, Huaci asked, "How is God Gantang?"

Luo Yifeng shook his head, "He is not very willing to listen to the explanation."

"What happened? How about I try to persuade him." Jixue said, and glanced at the side hall where Gan Tang lived.Tsk, the doors and windows are closed tightly, which means that you have locked yourself up.

Jixue went straight past the two of them, walked to the side hall where Gantang lived, knocked on the door, "Gantang, it's me, Jixue."

There was no response from inside the house.Only then did Luo Yifeng realize that something was wrong, followed up and opened the door to see that there was no one in the room.

Gan Tang left.

Sure enough, this was Gantang's usual style - to leave without saying a word, to quit silently.

……

It is said that after Gantang left Xiuyuan Gate, he galloped all the way to Jingzhou City on horseback.Jingzhou City is his hometown and the burial place of his father Xie Qiong.His father picked him up when he was very young, gave him a name, and taught him to read and practice martial arts.

Recalling the old generals in fresh clothes and angry horses, who will fight for the front; how can I expect that my heart is on the battlefield in this life, and I am old in Jingzhou.

Gan Tang found the site of the former military camp, which had become a wasteland called "General's Tomb".The wasteland is overgrown with weeds, and the tombs from thousands of years ago have long been lost.

Gan Tang suddenly felt exhausted and fell to the ground.When exactly, he couldn't even find his father's grave.He used to think that Master Yu Hui was sincerely treating him well, but after finding out the cause of Yu Hui's death, he couldn't agree with it.He knew it all, but he couldn't keep himself calm, and even had a conflict with Luo Yifeng.

"Daddy, I can't find a home. Will you still take me home?" Gan Tang lowered his head and murmured.But he knew that his father was gone, and maybe no one would hold his hand and take him home in the future.

That day Luo Yifeng came to look for him with an umbrella, the two of them remained silent all the way, and returned to the side hall of Xinglan Pavilion.Then Gan Tang pretended to lock himself up and escaped quietly.

Gan Tang hated himself for being so cowardly and sentimental.

Suddenly, huge raindrops hit Gantang's shoulders.Immediately afterwards, more and more raindrops fell from the sky.Gan Tang stood up in the rain, drenched all over.

It is raining in Jingzhou City.

In the past, the people in Jingzhou City always looked forward to such a rain, because their crops would be harvested in this way.Gan Tang seemed to have heard the cheers of the people, but she didn't—there was only the sound of rain falling in her ears.

At the same time, Gantang's spiritual consciousness was recalled by the Emperor of Heaven to the main hall of Penglai.He returned to his usual indifferent expression, bowed to the Emperor of Heaven, and said, "Your Majesty."

"Fengshen's memory has recovered, you did a good job." The Heavenly Emperor looked at Gantang with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the restoration of Fengshen's memory was not done by Gantang, it was someone who hindered it."

"Oh, who is it?"

"Gan Tang doesn't know."

The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand, but Gan Tang didn't understand what he meant, his consciousness had already returned to his physical body in Jingzhou City.

Gan Tang raised his head slightly, the rain stopped overhead - an umbrella was hanging above his head.He looked up and saw that the umbrella was a farmer in coarse clothes.

"Are you General Gan Tang?" the farmer asked.

"You know me?" Gan Tang asked in surprise.

"General, do you know why this place is called 'General's Tomb'?" The farmer didn't answer, but asked again.

Gan Tang couldn't answer.

"You, Yuxu Jun, and General Xie Qiong repelled the ghosts twice, and the people of Jingzhou can live in peace. To commemorate, the ancestors of Jingzhou called this place 'General Tomb'." The farmer spontaneously He replied, "Miss Li Bai said back then that General Gan Tang would come back. You really came back."

Gan Tang didn't know what to say for a moment.Gantang recalled that Jixue had told him back then that Li Bai had written a letter, saying that he would wait for him and Jixue to come back.

Back then they became the gods of Penglai, and Li Bai, as a mortal, was still waiting for them day after day.

It was sunny.The gray clouds dissipated and the sky turned blue again.Gan Tang thanked the farmer, and when the farmer left, he suddenly looked back at him.

Gan Tang saw his face and recognized that it was the reincarnation of his father Xie Qiong.It's great, after going around for thousands of years, he finally reunited with his father again.At this moment, whether he still knows him is not so important to him.

……

At Xiuyuanmen, in Xinglan Pavilion, Jixue watched Hua Ci correcting her papers by candlelight, belatedly remembered what happened after she was drunk, and wished to escape in place.

What did she say?What pleases my heart is only my eyes and ears.This is too much like a confession, Jixue is very worried that His Royal Highness Princess Jiu will misunderstand.But after thinking about it, she said it casually when she was drunk, what could Ah Jiu have misunderstood?Thinking of this, she simply put the matter behind her.

Beside her, His Royal Highness Ninth Princess Hua Ci was sitting on a chair, recalling Jixue's heart-pounding words yesterday, she was in a daze.The ink on the pen spilled on the white paper, and the paper was stained with ink.Huaci's heart was also dyed with a wonderful color, and it was beating violently.

After another successful squeeze of the labor force, Jixue looked at the approved booklet with satisfaction and rubbed Huaci's hair.Hua Ci stared at her like a well-behaved little pet, without saying a word, as if a rose was blooming in her eyes.

"Ah Jiu, your eyes have changed color again?" After watching too much, Jixue is no stranger to it, after all, every time His Highness Princess Jiu's eyes change color, she looks good.

"Yeah." Huaci's eyes returned to their original color.When her emotions are revealed, her eyes will always turn rosy color unconsciously.In fact, there is no saying that His Royal Highness Ninth Princess' eyes change color when she is angry. The reason for her eyes changing color is because she is not easy to control her emotions when she is angry.

"Why did Sister Immortal keep staring at Ah Jiu's eyes just now? Did Ah Jiu scare sister?" Hua Ci asked.

"No. Ah Jiu's eyes are very beautiful, as if there is a rose in her eyes." Jixue stared at Huaci's eyes seriously for a while, but unfortunately, she didn't see the blooming roses in her eyes again.

Huaci looked back at Jixue with a smile on her face, and Jixue deliberately turned her eyes away to look at the snow scene outside the window.The unchanging snow scene seems to have become colorful because of the girl's thoughts.Jixue was thinking, how could her Ah Jiu be so cute.

"Sister Fairy, do you want to play ice?"

"Okay."

The two put on winter clothes and walked to the courtyard of Xinglan Pavilion.The snow has stopped, and there is a thin layer of snow piled up in the courtyard, like white goose down.Jixue picked up a ball of snow, made it into a snowball, and threw it at Huaci.

"Ajiu—"

Hua Ci was unprepared, the snowball smashed into his clothes, and there was a burst of coldness.She also followed Jixue's example, pinching the snowball and hitting it, but Jixue easily avoided it.

Two naive ghosts started a snow chase.After arguing for a while, they were all a little tired, and sat together under the eaves where there was no snow.

"Sister Immortal, do you want to go back to the ghost clan with Ah Jiu?"

"Is the winter of the ghost clan so cold?"

"Of course not, it doesn't snow in southern Xinjiang."

"That's good, when."

After speaking for some unknown reason, the two fell into silence.Jixue sniffed and grabbed her hand, warm feeling came, Huaci looked at her sideways.

"You don't have a body temperature, don't you even know it's cold?" Jixue said in a reproachful tone, but she didn't mean to be angry.

Huaci shook his head, "Sister Shenxian covers Ah Jiu's hands, so she won't be cold."

Jixue was really angry and distressed.She couldn't say anything serious to such a highness of the nine princesses.She pretended to be angry and tapped Huaci's forehead, and said: "His Royal Highness Ninth Princess is so cute, does your seventh brother know?"

After mentioning it casually like this, the two of them remembered the seventh brother Luo Yifeng who hadn't seen Hua Ci since they realized that Gan Tang was gone.Of course Huaci knew her seventh brother's thoughts, and seeing Jixue's worried expression, she couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry about them, they're fine."

Then His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess was forced to explain the cause and effect of the matter - about the afterglow of Yan Guimen.After listening to her explanation, Jixue reminded: "So, the smell of forgetfulness in the secret room comes from the shade of drunken flowers? But it can't be smelled at all when it's hidden in the rouge."

"Yes. The roses cover up the aura of Wangyoucao and Diemeng, so sister Shenxian didn't notice it when she was in Lin'an." Huaci continued.

"Fortunately, you have completely controlled Zuihuayin. Once this enhanced version of Butterfly Dream spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable." Jixue shuddered unconsciously when she heard Butterfly Dream.The terrible memory of the Butterfly Dream back then still existed in his mind, but after becoming a mortal, the tension became more vivid.

This small gesture was noticed by Huaci, she took off her fur coat and put it on Jixue, "Is the fairy sister cold? Let's go back to the house."

"Yeah." Jixue didn't explain much, and obediently followed Hua Ci back to the house.Huaci lightly tapped her fingers, and the charcoal in the charcoal basin ignited. She handed Jixue a hand stove, and the two sat on the couch to rest together.

……

The rain in Jingzhou City always came as soon as it was said, and when Gan Tang just walked on the street, he saw huge raindrops falling again, and the hawkers who were about to set up their stalls had to put away their stalls again.

Gan Tang simply went to a roof to shelter from the rain.Inside the eaves is a theater building, which sang the legendary story of General Gan Tang and Lord Yuxu who defeated the ghost clan thousands of years ago, and everyone listened with great interest.

I saw that "Gan Tang" on the stage was wearing a white shirt, holding the "Zhaonan Sword" in his hand, changing a few moves, and stabbing the "Ghost Clan General". The "Ghost Clan General" dodged to avoid it, and the two fought again.

Immediately, "Gan Tang" captured the "Ghost Clan General" and killed him.There were cheers from the audience: "Good!" "It's so satisfying!"

The real Gan Tang stood by the door, watching this scene, slightly raised the corners of his lips.Then I heard a high-pitched libretto, sung by "Gan Tang": "Wenchen officials don't love money, military officials don't hesitate to die, and the world is peaceful!"

This was originally a sentence from General Xie Qiong's "Song History·Yue Fei's Biography". Gan Tang followed the prestige and saw that the scene on stage had already sung to the scene of returning to the camp to celebrate his victory.

A group of "soldiers" knelt down on one knee, repeating the last line of "Gan Tang"'s libretto: "The world is at peace!" Among them was a slightly thin female voice, which must be "Jun Yuxu".

"Gantang" and "Mr. Yuxu" bowed their hands and bid farewell to the "soldiers". The curtain fell and the scene switched again. It was the fairy palace shrouded in clouds and mist.It was still the same two people, but they were dressed in the robes of the Penglai gods.On the stage, "Fengshen" and "Shangshen Gantang" stood with their backs to the crowd, their gazes cast into the distance, which was the direction of the world.The libretto is sometimes high-pitched and sometimes deep, as if it contains infinite sentimentality.

After the play, bow, and the curtain falls.

It wasn't until people's noisy discussions came that Gan Tang came back to his senses.After returning to the world, he finally became an outsider.

"The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, the spring is fading, and Luo Qun can't bear the cold at five o'clock. In the dream, I don't know if I am a guest, and I am greedy for joy.

"Don't lean on the railing alone. There are infinite mountains and rivers. It's easy to see and difficult to see in other times. Flowing water falls and flowers fall in spring, it's heaven and earth." In front of the curtain, a voice suddenly sang loudly.That is Li Yu's "Lang Tao Sha Ling".After singing, the man took off his costume and walked to Gan Tang's side.

Gan Tang turned his head, just in time to meet Luo Yifeng's eyes.Luo Yifeng's thin lips parted slightly: "Sing a song with Junge, can you listen to me?"

He sang a thousand-year-old play and acted as a part of the play for him, just so that he could be a spectator for once.
