cross me

Huajianfang, the largest place of willows in Yecheng.

On the second floor of the first pavilion and the thirteenth lane, the most famous one is the crimson red pavilion that was built a few years ago.

Pavilion Master, Lin Xilin.

The Crimson Red Pavilion has three floors. In the hall that rises from the hollow, a horned animal oil lamp that is more than one foot high and stacked on top of each other is hung, illuminating the entire transparent three-story hall as if it were daytime.The Linglong Tower is constructed from the second floor and above, except for the piano pavilion in the north, which is surrounded by high-end wing rooms, and you can enjoy the figure of the main piano player in the piano platform from all angles.

Gungun and I sat on the main citron tree of the crimson pavilion, shaking our calves leisurely, while talking to it about some trivial matters of my life in Lengjiyuan, while waiting for tonight's main protagonist, Lin Xilin, to appear on the stage .

"So, you don't know what your master looks like, it's just a skeleton, and you don't even know whether he is a man or a woman?" Gun Gun wagged his fox tail, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "No wonder you said Have you ever seen the skeleton of a fox, and there is a pile of rotten bones in the abyss?"

"Not rotten bones, those are my friends."

I rubbed the little fox's head, but it jumped onto my lap, found a comfortable position, and was about to curl up and make a fuss when I heard it call, "Isn't that your master?"

"Well, I saw it."

I pursed my lips, the little fox was talking about Mu Qing.I saw him as soon as I got here.He was sitting alone at the table in the corner under the corridor, and he had already changed three jugs of wine.

I watched the people coming and going in the brightly lit porch, and I thought deeply in my heart.Among these people are many powerful mystics, loose immortals, demons, mountain charms... wearing human appearances, doing what ordinary people should do when looking for flowers and willows.

Why do you have to wear human skin?

Mu Qing is an ordinary person.

Does the master also want to be a human being in this way?

I couldn't figure out the reason for this, so I didn't think about it at all. I used an idea to investigate those mystics who were secretly hiding beside Mu Qing. Their cultivation is not bad, but I can deal with it myself. Fan Ji's inspiration was to force them to retreat in spite of difficulties with a powerful inspiration, but he never thought that although these few people were terrified and cold sweat gradually filled their faces, they still stood firm and had no intention of retreating.

"Find an opportunity and take Mu Qing away."

I directly and silently passed these words to the little fox's ears with an inspiration. As soon as the words came, I felt the next words from the little fox.

"I can't go anymore, Jiao'er has come out."

Follow the little fox's line of sight, and look in the direction Mu Qing has been staring at while drinking.

It was the corridor on the second floor full of emerald greens.

The candlelight was dim, making the corridor seem more and more deep and far away.

Under the cover of the veil, a swaying and graceful figure slowly appeared in the depths of the corridor, walking gracefully and wearing a clear voice.

The Crimson Red Pavilion, which was originally extremely noisy, fell silent for a moment, and there was no sound from the sparrow, only deep and shallow breathing ups and downs remained.

I don't know much about charms. What I see more is the rampant and impulsive mountain charms, which are extremely ugly. I just heard the rumor that Lin Xilin named the world with the beauty of mountain charms.So when the person behind the curtain came out, her alluring face fell into my eyes, and I even forgot to breathe for a moment.In amazement, I thought of the scenes of those vine demons raging.

Comparing it in this way, the smiling girl leaning on the railing of the corridor is full of charms, and the charming girl in red is very three-dimensional at once.

"She's beautiful." I couldn't express it in a panic, and I went to look for Mu Qing eagerly.

Turning my gaze down, Mu Qing's obsessive and gentle gaze that belongs to lovers, made me almost fall on the citron tree.

"Lin Xilin's beauty is nine points, but her charm is more than a tenth or two. Men in this world probably care more about this kind of charm than a woman's beauty. You must be reasonable, understand a man's little thoughts, and then give some sweetness just right, and keep a distance that does not exceed the rules. This is the... woman in the eyes of a successful man."

The little fox was very smart, as if he saw my stupefaction, he glanced at me, and said in a strange way, "It seems that your little master really likes this Lin Xilin, but this Lin Xilin's reputation is due to his talent. Tight, your master is just a mortal, so I'm afraid it's not easy."

"Just as long as he likes it." I know it means that Mu Qing is not good enough for Lin Xilin, but since he cares about her so much, he will definitely do his best.Because his eyes are not only obsessed and gentle, but also overly firm and serious.

"You're really calm!" The little fox rolled his eyes and gave me a blank look, then looked back to see Lin Xilin sitting on the piano platform, as if plucking the strings bonelessly All of a sudden, the clear tone calmed the noise in the arena.

Just look at her winking eyes, frown and smile, amorous feelings, her vermilion lips parted lightly, and a very charming voice lingered in the field, "Today is the anniversary of Xilin coming to Huajianfang in Yecheng, unfortunately What's more, Xilin's wish three days ago has not been realized until now, and Xilin is indeed a little aggrieved. Today, if no one can win Xilin's heart, then this Ye In the city, Xilin may not be able to stay any longer."

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd began to bluff. Those who were unknown, those who were angry, and those who were not incompetent dared not speak loudly. The voices of drinking and chatting filled the audience.

I also noticed that Mu Qing in the corner was holding the wine cup tightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the outburst of emotions. Fang stood up and was about to step forward, but was interrupted by a loud voice. Following the sound, he could see The voice is a famous Ascot.

That elegant man was dressed in a satin purple robe, concealing his luxury.There was a seven-point smile on the angular face, and he bowed to Lin Xilin who was on the stage and said, "Young lady's words are not good, but is there no one in Yecheng?"

"Is there anyone in Yecheng? If one year is not enough to make a clear statement, then let's rely on this song!" The corners of Lin Xilin's lips were drawn, and although she smiled gently, there was a slight hint of disdain on her face. .The wrist bone was broken, and it was leveled and exploded, and the tail of the eyebrows became fierce. A pair of charming eyes turned around, and swept all the corners of the field like a knife, leaving all the coldness that was different from his usual softness. Temperament, and the ever-changing expressions of all parties.

The starting tune is as high as a pheasant flying, as if breaking through the sky, flying with wings.As soon as the tune is turned down, it walks flat, like the eyes of the Lingtai are clear and bright, and the misery of the Buddha, and the smoke floats into the eyes, and the thick rhyme thickens the most inextricable knot in the hearts of the authorities.

For a while, the scene was quiet and quiet, those who were melancholy mourned, those who were sad and angry were excited, those who were happy accepted, and those who had no desires sought.

Lament for a way to get out, inspire a self-satisfied suffering, inherit a lifelong ambition, and seek a peace and happiness.

Whoever asks, whoever gives, whoever gains, whoever loses, all kinds of things, all get a clank from the song.

"I can't ask for a good song!"

This praise came from the wing room on the second floor facing the Qintai, it was very elegant and gentle, it seemed like the aftertaste was still in the aftertaste, after these words fell, the wing room was quiet for a while, and then the voice came again faintly.

"Thousands of dharmas, the world's ghosts and animals, there are times when they can't get what they want. Miss Lin's song fits all kinds of moods, and it is indeed a good song. A certain family is also heartbroken, and they have the courage to present a song. I wonder if it's okay? "The voice came in a clean, elegant and courteous voice, which made one imagine that there must be a very elegant man behind the door of the wing.

Just as I thought the voice was a little familiar, I heard Lin Xilin answer the call again.

"Since it's Xilin's invitation, sir is also a person who cherishes the sound. Xilin waits quietly for the wonderful sound." After speaking, Lin Xilin smiled slightly, very clear.

Everyone was attracted by the challenger who appeared suddenly, and few people turned their heads to look at Lin Xilin's reply, but those who saw such a clear smile seemed to be acquainted with her for the first time, and were momentarily stunned.

In a daze, the sound of the piano started slowly, as if it had been a lifetime away, and I could only see that peerless face approaching faintly at some point, and the soft figure was also pressed into the arms, exuding a charming fragrance, full of bewilderment. People raised their hands to hug this nephrite fragrance tightly, only to find that the corners of the man's lips curled up, and he slid out of his body like a fox, gradually drifting away, surrounded by smoke, and his figure faded away. Not seeing each other... Stretching out his hand to throw away, he landed on the ground with a throw, and fell completely. At the same time as the pain came, the surrounding piano sound also pressed the final sound, and the lingering sound swayed in the air for a long time. Heart, lingering.

"What's going on here?" The person who fell got up and looked at the brothers and young masters who were eating wine around him, all looking for the answer, frowning, but all they got were puzzled Shake your head for the answer.

"Papapa!" Lin Xilin's appreciative smile followed the crisp applause, "It seems that I can't leave Yecheng." His eyes lightly fluttered, and he squinted at the tightly closed opposite door. At the door of the compartment, the corners of the lips curled up, and he said with a high spirit, "Why, won't Xilin's conceding defeat not be favored by the gentleman's face? Or maybe the gentleman thinks that if you can't get the same song, you will get something in your hands." , don’t you think you’re too self-important to bow your head to see others?”

"Miss Lin is joking, but Miss Lin is the most beautiful woman in the world. If a certain family gets this, wouldn't it be hated by men all over the world?" fire.

"Where are you wild man, you are so rude, Miss Lin is giving you face, don't be ignorant of flattery!" The grumpy one couldn't help it.

Lin Xilin smiled and glanced at the man, showing gratitude.Turning his eyes and looking at the wing room again, his red lips parted slightly, and a ray of lightness made it clear, "It's just that this agreement is an agreement. Since Mister won with a song invitation, Xilin will not break his word. If Mister has any difficulties, Xilin will also I will bear it together, so don’t worry too much.” As she spoke, her steps didn’t stop, she slid her slender fingers along the carved railing and slowly walked towards the opposite wing.

What she said was already resolute, and it was very obvious.The sensible person shuts his mouth dumb when he hears it, while the hopeless person stares greedily and presumptuously at her slow-walking figure with a determined attitude as if he will never see her again, completely devoid of the usual story. The elegance of the work.

"Wait!"

The blue-clothed boy in the corner finally made a sound. I watched Mu Qing lift up the corner of his robe, walked to the middle of the field, and looked up into Lin Xilin's puzzled and questioning eyes.

"Didn't Xilin make it clear that this young master still wants to pester him?" Lin Xilin smiled rarely, and looked at the blue-clothed boy indifferently and distantly.

"Since the girl obeyed the agreement, she must first follow the agreement of three days a year ago. She hasn't drunk the wine yet, so how can she follow others like this?" Mu Qing's fair face was slightly flushed due to excitement, and her starry eyebrows were bright. The wanton posture of the purpose is also a little more nervous.

"There is no one for three days, and Xi Lin postponed it for one year, but the last day has not yet passed. Why, if the young master agrees to the appointment...then, should we drink or play the piano?" Lin Xilin finally stopped, Containing all his indifference, he turned his waist, leaned over the railing, lowered his eyebrows, and looked down at this seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth with a smile.

"I...Of course I'm drinking!" Mu Qing clasped her fists and answered sonorously, then saluted deeply, turned her feet and walked out of the gate.

"Are you losing your temper?" The little fox stepped heavily on my shoulder, reminding me that I had already left the door.

Seeing a large group of people joining in the fun and following them out, I was still wondering who was in that wing.I almost fell into that song just now. If I didn't know that the master is no longer by my side, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape from that illusion.

"I can deal with the ones who followed, and the one in the wing room can neither see the depth nor feel the hostility." After the man in the wing room made his voice, I tried my best to test him, not wanting him to have nothing to do with it. The reason is that I was allowed to investigate with him.

However, I couldn't find anything.

The crowd left quickly, and the originally bustling Jianghong Pavilion was extremely quiet for a moment. Lin Xilin stood alone, slowly suppressed all the smiles, and suddenly raised his head to look at the Muci where I was. Li, with deep eyes, opened his mouth softly, "Since you don't want to meet, please leave before Xi Lin comes back."

With a double entendre, it invited not only the people in the wing room, but also me and Gungun on the wood citron.

Knowing that there was no need to hide anymore, I jumped up and landed in the center of the main hall, looking straight at Lin Xilin, clearly seeing the emotionlessness on my fox mask from the bottom of her eyes.

"Excuse me, Xilin." Lin Xilin bowed to me, and when she raised her eyes again, there was that kind of charming smile, which filled her beautiful face.Shaking and listening, she walked in a hurry, but in a moment, she arrived at the door, turned her bright eyes, and gave me another unfathomable glance.

I could see that there was a special scrutiny in her eyes. This kind of scrutiny made me very uncomfortable. I lowered my eyes and avoided them.

Gun Gun watched Lin Xilin close his eyes and went out the door, then jumped off the citron tree and ran to my shoulder, and was about to say something when he heard a creak from the closed wing above.

It was opened.

As soon as the man appeared, I recognized him.

Still the footsteps are as light as feathers falling, still wearing the moon white plain shirt, carrying the piano case on the back, and the temperament of clear ink and flowing water, coming lightly.Reflecting the brilliant lights, the eyes are amber and crystal clear.

It confirmed my three-point guess, it was the man in white clothes I met in the forest.

"She is so overwhelming, how come you don't seem to care?"

His gentleness remained the same, once again it fell into my eyes and spread to my heart. I finally understood that his gentleness seemed to make him close, but in fact he was very distant.

"The surface is nothing more than a dream in the eyes. In the end, the loess is piled up and the bones are piled up. They are all the same after all. There are too many schemes, and most of them are asking for trouble. Why bother."

Hearing my question, the man was taken aback for a moment at first, and then the smile on the corner of his lips widened for a moment, and it directly stained his eyes.He clapped his hands and laughed while speaking, with the air of laughing up to the sky and walking away freely.

As soon as he left, he came downstairs, bowed to me and saluted me, and when he got up, he raised his hand and pulled back the hair band. side.

The moment I passed by, I suddenly had an urge to stop him, and I turned around to walk away, and saw him standing upright, against the light of the door, his long body was elegant and hazy, as if standing in a long distance In the time spent, the soft words permeated the confusion of the prehistoric and desolate, and rang in my ears.

"Girl, you are just a pity."

"What?" This floating feeling made me very dazed, and I didn't know what he meant when I responded.

The man tapped his cheek with his fingertips, made a hideous gesture, and smiled apologetically as if he felt offended me after the gesture, and now he really turned around and wanted to leave without looking back.

"Wait!" I stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Is it a mask? I don't want it either."

With such an eager to explain tone, it seemed that he was afraid that he might misunderstand me even a little bit.

"There are some things that you can't solve if you don't want to."

The man turned his head and stood there gently, as if he was waiting for me.I thought so, and I didn't know when I walked in front of him, and I looked at him steadily.Looking at the girl in white in his amber eyes, her heart was slightly heaving, and she looked extremely nervous.

I tightly suppressed the inexplicable feeling that rose from the bottom of my heart.

It was different from the pleasant surprise of confirming Mu Qing's identity, and different from the willful and willful feeling in front of the master, this feeling made me bewildered and at a loss.

"Well...there's something exciting outside, do you want to go?" I thought I should say something to ease the strange atmosphere.As soon as I really said it, I felt that the content of my question was inexplicable, and I was suddenly embarrassed, which made me take a step back.

"Isn't that just going?" The man smiled again, and took a step back politely and silently.

"Together." Fortunately, I have a fox mask, otherwise I would be teased by the little fox for a long time if I let the little fox see my blushing face.I quickly walked to the side of the man, and seeing the man stretch out the motion of asking for priority, I walked out first as if I was running away.
