Take a look at two flowers, three lives, four seasons and five elements on their own, and say a word, two words, three languages, four sentences, five mysteries and five mysteries. ——Look at the flowers and become a fan

"There is no road here."

"No, that's the way we're going."

"Strange... Could it be that I met..."

"Amitabha! Don't talk nonsense about this black light, it must be... Do you see if there is a way down the mountain?"

"Really, it's really the way down the mountain!"

"Go, go..."

"No...it's not right..."

"what……"

"Hahahaha! They're all dead, they're all dead!"

Under the split thunderbolt, a bright white light illuminated the mountain road. Under that momentary light, only dense figures of people could be seen, and then everything fell into darkness again, without any sound.

"Lan Peirong's clothes are cold-boned, when will the mountains become alchemy. The rich and noble flowers are like this in the depths of spring, just smile and look drunk."

"This is……"

"Song people Xie Fangde's Qijue. I think Fang Nian is comfortable in this situation."

"Mr. Hu really has a good temperament. Which one is the crown of the painting, the peony or the orchid?"

"Brother Zhou's words are wrong. The reason why peonies are said to be rich and noble is also added by people. If you are refined and beautiful, you will have extraordinary insights when you see peonies. Orchids have always been suitable for gentlemen, but if they are just vulgar If you look at it with a mortal body, it’s just a grass ear, where do you get so many insights? Even if there is, it’s just copying what others say, so it’s nothing, so there is no superiority between flowers and plants, and there are only differences in people’s hearts.”

"Young Master Hu is very true. It is wrong to say that the apricot flower is the flower of a villain."

Hu Yue said as he walked, he didn't seem to be struggling at all, but the people who followed him were a little bit struggling, and the most tired one was a rich and handsome country gentleman dressed in beautiful silk.He had been out of breath a long time ago, fanning his folding fan all the time.This man's surname is Li, and his single name is the word He. He is the shopkeeper of a well-known calligraphy and painting shop in the capital. He really likes to make friends with literati Jacques.

The other two are slightly younger, and they both look like scholars. The older one is called Zhou Nan, who is a brother, and the other is named Zhou Ke, who has just passed the age of weak crown, and is a younger brother.Both of them are students of the academy, and the family is a little bit Susukida, so I only let them study hard, and don't worry about the rest.

There is another person who is not as talkative as the others. He sometimes rushes on his way and sometimes stops to meditate. He has a similar temperament to Hu Yuedao, but he seems too gloomy and makes people not easy to get close to. This person is also the biggest, named Guo Huan, alias Zihong, was a well-known poet in the capital, and had contacts with several famous Confucian scholars at that time. If it wasn't because this person was too withdrawn, the other three must have surrounded him.

The five of them went together for a reason. Hu Yue heard Li He tell some anecdotes about Danlan Mountain in Li He's calligraphy and painting shop, and the others happened to hear rumors that there was an empty valley near Danlan Mountain. Naixianshan Shenfu is a beautiful scene.Among them, there is a kind of orchid that is only born here, and there is no other place that can compare with this orchid.It is the divine product of orchids, called Danlan, and the flowers show a color like the cinnabar left by an immortal alchemy and dumping the alchemy furnace.It is said that this is a very precious fairy medicine. Its flowers and roots can cure severe diseases, and it is even rumored that it has the magical effect of extending life.Just the branches and leaves of orchids, if carefully collected, accompanied by morning dew as a guide, and closed with good ginseng snow clams, it will also have a miraculous effect on those who vomit blood.

All five of them came here for the Dan Orchid.It's not because of its medicinal effect, but because I want to see the appearance of the strange flower.

The corners of Hu Yue's mouth were slightly raised, and he was holding a folding fan in his half-smile, with one hand attached to his back. His expression was so natural that he couldn't tell that he had walked the mountain road for half a day. please him.

Hu Yue turned to Li He and asked, "The drama that Li Guan'er told me about last time was good, but it lacked a little spirit."

Li He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he saw Hu Yue talking about this matter, he hurriedly took a few steps closer and said, "Then, brother Hu, would you like to give me some advice?"

Hu Yue pointed to a corner in the mountain, where there was a half-dead tree, the tree was crooked and ugly.He said, "Do you see what that tree can think of?"

Li He tilted his head and said, "A... dying tree, there is a saying that... the dead tree will grow again in spring... It's not the same thing, hey, please enlighten me?"

Hu Yue didn't speak, and the elder brother of the Zhou family said, "This tree stretches across here, like a natural bridge, and it's a magical work. It seems to be hindering but welcoming, and it seems to be God's will?"

Guo Huan glanced at it, moved her mouth, but didn't say anything.Hu Yue raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, and he bowed lightly.

The rest of the people went on and on again, talking about the tree as if it was placed here by a god, and if they went on, it would involve the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, an ancient relic.

Hu Yue closed her fan, smiled and said: "That's just a dying tree, but that tree has its own karma, if it is said that people have feelings, so they care a lot. But if there is no feeling, will there be no worries? Not necessarily ...Look at this tree, although it is about to die, it still protects the beehive hanging on the branch. Once it dies in this life, why is it ruthless to guard and protect it? So if it is just a tree, it is not You and I don't have any meaning, but they have their own inner feelings. Enlightened people have their own understanding, and we don't need to add it deliberately. If we do it deliberately, it will seem too much. The same is true for words. So far, enlightening."

Guo Huan nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Hu Yue's remarks. Seeing that Guo Huan agreed so much, everyone clapped their hands and praised.

The corner of Hu Yue's eyes flashed a trace of unbearable, and then he raised his hand slightly, the tree seemed to have sensed it, and also shook the dead branch slightly, Hu Yue fixed his eyes again, there was indeed a small seedling on the back of the tree, it seemed to be the remnant of that tree Continued in general.

Hu Yue smiled knowingly: "Li Guan'er is right, the dead wood will grow again in spring..."

At this moment, Zhou Nan pulled Hu Yue back and said, "Hey, hey, brother Xian, have you not done anything but walking?"

Hu Yue untied the flagon at his waist, took a sip and said, "Yes."

Just as Hu Yue was about to speak, he heard someone crying for help. The two paused at the same time, ran a few steps ahead, looked down, and saw a person lying on the side of the mountain.

Hu Yue jumped a few steps, like a dragonfly touching water, and soon came to the man.The elder brother of the Zhou family beside him sighed, "Brother Hu has such a good skill."

Hu Yue showed a look of miscalculation, but soon looked down at the person on the ground. The person was a man. The turban had disappeared, and his face was covered by his messy hair, so he couldn't see his face clearly.There should be many injuries on his body, Hu Yue dare not move him easily.

Hu Yue immediately clicked a few key acupuncture points on him, then slowly picked him up, brushed his hair away, and found that he was an extremely handsome young man, his eyes were closed, his lips were parted, his face was pale, and he was dying at any time.

The others couldn't jump here, so they could only look into the distance and shout: "Brother Hu, what's going on? Is this person dead or alive? Can he still be saved?"

Hu Yue frowned slightly, her phoenix eyes showed a strange expression.He murmured, "Why does this person look familiar?"

Hu Yue looked down again, and confirmed that this person had no bone or internal injury, but was extremely weak because no one noticed him after fainting for a long time.

He hugged the boy horizontally, luckily, and quickly jumped back.The others immediately surrounded him, and even the most indifferent Guo Huan came to visit. Hu Yue shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it seems that the orchid appreciation trip will be delayed by this matter."

Zhou Ke hurriedly said: "Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's send it back quickly."

Li He said: "Is it important for him? It looks like he's not dead yet."

Hu Yue said: "It's not easy to identify for now, we have to take him back first."

Li He took a few more glances with his head, and shouted: "It's terrible, it's terrible! He is the little prince, the empress dowager's own nephew!"

Hu Yue's hands trembled, and he immediately hugged the person in his arms tightly and said, "Young Master? How could Master Hou end up in such a place?"

Li He took a closer look, then shook his head and said, "At the Buddha Bathing Conference in Yaohuachi, we met once, but there was a distance between them, but the young man's eyebrows and eyes resembled the relatives of Empress Dowager Ge today. Nephew, Lord Ge Xiaohou."

Hu Yue sighed and said in a very low voice at the last sentence: "I came here to enjoy the flowers, but unexpectedly I found a nobleman. This... I can only ask the other Marquis at home..."

Zhou Nan was more cautious and meticulous. He said: "If it is really the young master, why is he in the wilderness? If we rashly send this person back to the Hou's mansion, will he be punished by the government?"

Zhou Ke frowned after hearing what his brother said, "But if you don't send it back, where will you send it?"

Li He took a closer look and said, "Like! It's still like a person carved out of a mold. This should not be wrong. It's Lord Hou."

Guo Huan hummed and said nothing.But everyone didn't want to wait on him anymore.So she didn't pay any attention, just talked around this half-dead young man, Hu Yue saw that if they continued talking, the living would be dragged into the dead.Then he interrupted: "Rescue him first. After returning to the city, the soldiers will be divided into two groups. Brother Li and Brother Guo will go to find out if the young master is out of the house. Brother Zhou and I will find a doctor to save him first. In short, we Seeing it, is there any reason to wait for death?"

After making up his mind, Hu Yue picked up the boy on his back, and the Zhou brothers were busy helping to drag him. The other two looked at each other and walked back.

Hu Yue looked back at the mountain road, but she seemed to see a person's voice in the grass on the opposite side of the mountain road, which was a pair of feet.The feet quickly retracted into the dark, and the branches shook a few times.It seemed that someone was watching their words and deeds in the dark all the time. Hu Yue squinted in that direction, but didn't talk to others, as if he didn't find this trace.

When a few people turned back in a hurry, the place where the young man was unconscious, all the vegetation that should have been there were all withered, forming a sharp contrast with the side.

Hu Yue carried the young man on his back, Li He led the way, and the other three followed, but the mountain road was far away, and they had come here on foot, so the return journey was also far away.Hu Yue was carrying a comatose person on his back, and he didn't dare to walk too hastily, as the time dragged on, the sky was about to darken.

Hu Yue said: "Hey, it seems that we can only talk about it after tonight?"

Li He said bitterly: "How can it be so easy? In this wilderness, what if a wolf comes? Besides, if we can endure it, this young prince doesn't know whether he can hold on." If we go on, what if we bring back a dead little duke? Or the little duke dies soon after being sent back... Is there any good fruit for us?"

Zhou Nandao: "It's really not possible. Let's find out if there is a place to hide. At least we don't need to sleep in the open air. You and I are both scholars. How can there be any reason to watch him die without saving him?"

Zhou Ke nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. My brother's words are indeed reasonable. I think it's better to find a place to settle down for the night and observe."

Hu Yue said: "If you haven't gone out of the mountain, maybe you can find a cave, but now that you're out of the mountain, it's really hard to find. Do you have to go back?"

Guo Huan said: "I still know that there is a ruined temple nearby. If I give up returning and go to that place, I may be able to arrive when the sun is setting."

Several people nodded quickly, it was better to be covered by a tile than to sleep in the open.They were led by Guo Huan to find the ruined temple.

Guo Huan became the leader, but he still walked beside Hu Yue. His appearance was not outstanding, he was a little thin, tall and thin, reminiscent of bamboo.Hu Yue looked at him sideways, and he turned his head to look at Hu Yue indifferently, asking if he had anything to say.

Hu Yue smiled slightly: "Why did Mr. Guo come here to appreciate the orchids?"

Guo Huan's eyes were still fixed on Hu Yue's eyes, that unabashed but indifferent look made Hu Yue think of a certain person for a while, but he couldn't remember who this person was.

Guo Huan said: "I happened to be reading the copybook at the time, and I also heard your conversation. First, I had time to travel, and second, I wanted to write a paragraph about Lan. So I went with the four of us."

Hu Yue nodded, and said with a smile, "Sir and I came here for similar purposes."

Guo Huan said: "I have read your words, it is between good and bad."

Hearing his straightforwardness, Hu Yue asked with interest: "Oh? Could you give me some pointers, sir?"

Guo Huan waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to advise, but I just want to say one thing. Your words are too emotional, so things will be reversed at the extremes, and the feelings will appear ruthless. It's a pity."

Hu Yue laughed out loud, if it wasn't for the injury on his back, otherwise he might have looked up to the sky and laughed, his slender phoenix eyes curled into a smile, and said happily: "I have been writing lyrics for many years, and now I can hear Mr. What a blessing! If there is wine, it should be white."

Seeing that Hu Yue was so happy, the three people behind also rushed up and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Hu Yue was still laughing and didn't answer.Seeing that he didn't speak, Guo Huan just smiled and continued walking.The three of you look at me and I look at you, so they can only change the topic and talk about other things.

At this time, Zhou Nan asked Guo Huan: "Where is the ruined temple you mentioned?"

Guo Huan said: "Walking through the forest ahead, I saw an old apricot. It should be time to go south for a stick of incense."

Seeing the ease of his fingers, the other four people suddenly had the feeling that Cao Cao pointed at the plum forest in the past, looking at the plum to quench his thirst.I didn't hold out hope, but I didn't expect that after I walked through the forest, I saw an old apricot tree.

Only then did everyone raise their confidence, and after another stick of incense, they saw a dilapidated temple. elephant.But the couplets on both sides are clear.

Take a look at two flowers, three lives, four seasons and five elements on their own, and say a word, two words, three languages, four sentences, five mysteries and five mysteries.

I don't know what the couplets mean, but the plaque seems to be dedicated to the God of Flower Dynasty here in the past, but now the God of Flower is gone, leaving the ruined temple and tiles empty.

Coincidentally, when they arrived at the ruined temple, the last ray of sunshine fell from the west.It seems that when a few people arrived, the sky and the earth turned from yang to yin, and those ghosts lying in the dark were ready to move.

A gust of wind blew by, making everyone shiver.There was a beast-like cry in the distance, and this scene made people feel gloomy.The pilgrimage picture of the twelve flower fairies originally drawn on the wall was also mottled and tattered, and all the original fairies became very strange and terrifying.People don't dare to look at it.

Even when I first entered the temple, I could vaguely hear the woman's coquettish laughter, but after entering, there was no one there.But from time to time, people could hear what seemed to be a faint breathing sound, which made people shudder.

Zhou Ke was a little guilty, he said: "Go in quickly, find something that can burn and start a fire, otherwise the wild beasts will come, and we have nothing to defend ourselves. That's the best thing to do."

The young man behind Hu Yue shivered slightly, as if he also felt the chill.Hu Yue was the first to step into the ruined temple. The gate of the temple had long disappeared. After entering, there was a clay statue of a god enshrined, but half of the clay sculpture was missing.The other half was hidden behind the curtain, revealing half of the face of a clay sculpture. The huge, pale face was hidden behind the rags, looking at everyone with a meaning, it was indescribably weird.

Hu Yue first found a slightly clean place, put down the boy, then took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.Immediately, the boy's originally pale face had a little color, although it was very subtle, but it made his breathing much more stable.

Li He had sharp eyes and quickly asked, "What did Brother Hu feed him?"

Hu Yue felt a little heartbroken, and he said, "Good thing... this is the Nine Slow Life Renewal Pill. This pill can help him survive tonight, but if he doesn't go back to the city for medical treatment tomorrow, it will be useless."

Li He cupped his hands and asked quickly: "Is there any more? I would like to sell at a high price."

When Hu Yue was told by him, his heart ached even more. He pointed out a hand. Li He looked at his hand and said, "50 taels?"

Hu Yue shook his head, Li He's eyes were complicated, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "500 taels?"

Hu Yue still shook his head, Li He's expression was almost the same as that of the boy's, and he asked tremblingly, "Five... 5000 taels?!"

Hu Yue was afraid that he might have a stroke, so he said, "500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! Are you rich? If you have money, you can't buy it... Only that person can give it away..."

The Zhou brothers were also surprised when they heard it, and asked, "Who is that person?"

Hu Yue coughed and said, "It's nothing, it's not someone important. Just an ordinary drinking buddy."

At the same time, Chu Jue, who was drinking alone in the wine shop, suddenly felt a chill and sneezed for some reason.The hand holding the wine trembled, and a cup of apricot blossoms spilled on the table.He paused, poured himself another pot expressionlessly.The movements are still leisurely and elegant, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
