last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

Chapter 128 Mountains and rivers are getting old

Lan Jiansu took Lan Ming on a boat for five days and returned to land.

After returning to land, he immediately went to the old village of Lousang.Now that the curse plate was broken, the resentment in that place also dissipated.The bloody sand under the tomb of thousands of people has been blown away by the wind, and the sand has returned to its original yellowish color year by year.

Looking at the more than a thousand tombstones that had been partially wiped away by the wind and sand, Lan Jiansu couldn't help feeling sad when he thought about the untimely death of these people.

He knocked his head on the tombstones of the clansmen a few times, and said: "Let's end the grievances from generation to generation. If grievances are reciprocated, there will only be endless wars and innocent people will continue to die. Be a good family, and live your life in peace and joy." Lan Ming was young and didn't understand what Lan Jiansu was sad about, but he knew how to kowtow to Lan Jiansu, curious about the red sand that hadn't been blown away by the wind.

After leaving Lousang village, Lan Jiansu originally wanted to go back directly to the Dafang Islands.Lan Ming clamored to go to see Da Feng, and Lan Jiansu gave him a big thump, deeply understanding the irritability of being a bear's father.

The next day, he took the noisy blue sea and walked to the seaside on foot.Suddenly I heard the sound of the camel bell, which sounded quickly and slowly, as if it was right next to my ear, and it seemed to be floating thousands of miles away.

He had heard this melody a long time ago.It was this melody that the monks on the Peak of Bliss rang the bell.

Could it be that there are people from the Peak of Bliss nearby?

He thought about it for a while, and said in his heart for a while, "Don't worry about things on the land, and go back to the island as soon as possible", and then said in his heart, "But the monks on the Peak of Bliss have treated me kindly. If it's an old friend, why not see it?"In the end, the latter's voice prevailed over the former, and he followed along with the sound of the camel bell.

In the distance, I saw a tall and thin monk, followed by a stout monk pulling a camel.They walked slowly, but their figures drifted away very quickly.

That tall and thin back looks like Huawu, while the other back looks like... like King Zhen Xian!

Lan Jiansu was excited, it was like buy one get one free, let him meet two old friends at once.One is a benefactor, and the other is a benefactor who has a grudge, which makes him do not know how to deal with his emotions.With this messed up mood, he followed quickly.

But their figures seemed out of reach, no matter how Lan Jiansu tried to catch up, he couldn't catch up.

Unknowingly, Lan Jiansu stepped into Da Feng's territory.It was too late to go back again, so I had to take out the previous pass card and enter the pass.

The guard at the Northwest Pass said "strange" and muttered, "This pass is actually a pass from the Yuan Dynasty."

The other said: "It seems that he has not returned for many years, that's all, the order hasn't come down yet, let him enter the customs for the time being. Hey, after you enter the customs, remember to go to Husi to change the customs certificate."

Lan Jiansu was at a loss, so he asked, "Why, isn't it the first year of the Yuan Dynasty?"

A passerby on the side smiled and said, "Brother, you haven't been back to Dafeng for a long time, right?"

Lan Jiansu smiled politely: "I've been traveling all year round, and haven't been back for six years."

"It's no wonder." A passer-by explained to him, "This Dafeng is now in the year of Xuanxi, not the year of Yuanshi."

Lan Jiansu was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What happened? The last emperor..."

Hearing their conversation getting more and more outrageous, the guard said fiercely: "Hey! The emperor's taboo name, how can you and other common people dare to mention it arbitrarily? After receiving the customs clearance documents, go in quickly, don't hinder the uncle's work here!"

Passers-by hurriedly dragged Lan Jiansu in, and whispered to Lan Jiansu what had happened in the past few years.

About three years ago, Lan Chongyan's fourth brother, also known as the Fourth Prince, passed away from illness.His five youngest sons were adopted by other princes, and two of them were adopted by Emperor Yuanshi.Emperor Yuanshi had no heirs, no concubines in the harem, and his second son became his only second prince.The eldest son was only six years old, and he was established as the crown prince by him and ascended the throne of the prince.

This little prince was intelligent since he was a child, but at the age of six he had already read hundreds of poems and books, and he had a long-term vision, so he really had the talent of an emperor.

As for Emperor Yuanshi, that is, Lan Chongyan, after establishing himself as the prince, his health deteriorated day by day.

In fact, since Emperor Yuan Shi got sick in Gu Qiang six years ago, his health has never been better.It's just that after returning, he insisted on showing others that nothing happened, so few people noticed something strange.

Two years ago, Emperor Yuan Deterred suddenly vomited blood in the middle of the night, and his body could no longer bear the burden of being an emperor, so he passed the throne to the prince who was just past his seventh birthday.At that time, Princess Minwen returned to her homeland in honor, just in time for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

Now the new emperor is only nine years old. Although he is extremely intelligent, he is still too young. Lan Chongyan is afraid that he will be controlled by powerful officials.Ke Lan Chongyan's body was too weak to take care of any state affairs, so she had to let Princess Minwen listen to the government behind the curtain.

Princess Minwen was also smart since she was a child. Although her painting style was weird in the first half of her life, it cannot be denied that she is also a genius—otherwise she would not be able to learn the technique of raising snakes by herself.

Many ministers were dissatisfied with letting the eldest princess listen to the government behind the curtain. However, this princess who only knew how to raise snakes in the first half of her life can handle state affairs with ease.In particular, the injustice case of Lou Sang, which had been going on for a long time, was complicated and huge, was finally closed in her hands.

Afterwards, most of the state affairs discussed in the public centered around Princess Min Wen and the ministers, and rarely heard anything related to Emperor Yuan Yu, and no one knew what he was like.

Everyone said that Lan Chongyan was a shrewd emperor when he was the emperor, but the emperor's life was too short. Dafeng didn't have any emperor with such a short reign.

After Lan Jiansu heard this, she felt extremely sad.Naturally, Lan Jiansu didn't like to judge other people's affairs. Whether they gained or lost, everyone had their own opinions.

Today's Northwest Pass is full of green plants, and it is no longer as dusty and desolate as it was back then.After the commercial roads were established, towns and cities were built one by one. Except for the desert Gobi, everywhere was bustling with activity.

After entering the customs, Lan Jiansu searched for Hua Wu and King Zhen Xian all the way.

I asked the uncle on the side of the road that they had gone to the inn, so I hurried to the inn.When he came to the inn, Xiao Er said that the two monks left after eating the fast meal. It seemed that they went to the nearby Qianma Temple. They went to the Qianma Temple and asked the monks in the temple. The monk pointed him to the garden.

Lan Jiansu led Lan Ming to the garden, and saw Hua Wu and Zhen Xian Wang standing under a stone and chanting scriptures.Hua Wu murmured about "Fate", "Past life and present life, let go of obsession", and "If you have a destiny, you don't have to force it if you don't have a destiny", just like before, these words come and go.It can be seen that their version of Buddhist scriptures has not been updated for many years.

Lan Jiansu shouted: "Master Hua!" He ran up five steps at a time.

When they ran in front of the two of them, the two turned into a gust of wind and flew away.

The eyes are empty, except for the sound of the wind.It turns out that Shicai is just an illusion of flowers without flowers.But the real ones are no longer in the temple.

There is an inscription on the stone tablet, "When we meet at different times, we will gather together to talk about Qi Kuo in the future".In short, it is: You came at an unlucky time, I am leaving, we will meet and chat another day.

Lan Ming pulled Lan Jiansu's sleeve and asked, "Master Lan, why did those two bald men disappear suddenly?"

Lan Jiansu didn't make a sound for a long time, then rubbed his temples, and said to himself: "Master Hua, Master Hua, I really don't understand the monkhood of your destiny. That's all, as you said Yes, see you later."

At least he can confirm one thing, the master who abducted Zhen Xian Wang back then was indeed from the folk branch temple of Bliss Peak, and the master did not lie.And Zhenxian Wang, who was not deceived into joining the MLM organization, is now promoted to the status of Hua Wu's disciple.

Knowing this is enough.

On the second day, Lan Jiansu accompanied Lan Ming, a child who had never seen the world, to wander around in the Northwest Pass, and then rushed to the sea outside the Guqiang Pass, preparing to return to the Dafang Islands by the old road.

However, when he was about to go to the beach, a veteran guarding the domain stopped him.

The knife in the veteran's hand was standing on the ground, holding the knife in his hand, his whole body was leaning lazily on the handle of the knife, with his nostrils facing the sky, he said angrily: "The sea area here is sealed, let's go!"

Lan Jiansu frowned and said, "Is this whole sea sealed?"

"Yeah, it was sealed two years ago. This is your first time here?"

Lan Jiansu saw this man's clothes, he was not a general of high rank, but he looked like a senior officer.

In addition to this sea, there is another [-] kilometers away to go to another coast, so Lan Jiansu said: "This seaport is an important channel for fishermen and merchants, if you say it will be closed, whose rule is this? "

The veteran waved his hands impatiently: "Why are you talking so much nonsense!" His squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he stared closely at Lan Jiansu's face, "Hey, I see that you look familiar. Did you say that the sea The dog official who wants to make me rich?"

Lan Jiansu was startled, and carefully looked at the old general's eyes, as if he was the officer who was tricked by him back then.

The veteran recognized Lan Jiansu, pointed at him and said angrily: "Officer dog, it turns out that you are a wanted criminal by the court. You tricked me back then and let you go to sea, which caused me to be demoted to a small guard. I couldn't be promoted for several years." I was just about to find you, but you are better off, and come to the door by yourself!"

Speechless, great speechless.Lan Jiansu called out in his heart.

Although it is a common saying that "the way of heaven has reincarnation", the probability of reincarnation does not need to be so high.Six years have passed, how can he still encounter such "retribution"?

Lan Jiansu bluntly said that he "admitted it was wrong", and wanted to drag Lan Ming away quickly, so as not to get into trouble.He touched the back with his hand, but found nothing.

Where's the bear kid? !

There is no other way here, Lan Ming must have slipped to the seaside when the veteran was not paying attention.

Lan Jiansu was anxious to find it at the seaside.The veteran pulled him back: "Hugh can go in!"

Lan Jiansu threw out a talisman and stuck it on the veteran's forehead. The veteran's body was as straight as wood.

After breaking into the closed pass, several young generals immediately drew their swords and rushed forward when they saw Lan Jiansu, an uninvited guest.With a wave of Lan Jiansu's sleeves, dozens of Taoist talismans were pasted on the foreheads of the young generals, and the young generals immediately stood in place like wooden stakes.

Lan Jiansu practiced with Taoist Zhong on the island for six years, and his mana has greatly improved. This bit of magic is nothing to him.If he hadn't been in a hurry to find that brat, he wouldn't have wanted to have these incidents at all.

Lan Ming came to the beach, looked at the sea in front of him, and exclaimed "Wow, wow".The sea here is different from the sea seen on the Dafang Islands. The sea on the island is so clear and blue that you can see the fine white sand underneath, but the sea here is a dark blue.

He took off his shoes, stepped on the waves barefoot, and ran along the coastline.Running and running, he practiced the sword skills that Han Qili taught him with his bare hands, and then punched with the fists that Ling Feng taught him.

Suddenly, he saw a man by the sea.

It was a man.It looked about the same age as his Master Lan.It seems that he is a little older than his Master Lan.The clothes worn by men are very different from those of ordinary people.Reflecting the sea light, the black robe looks as silky as water, and it is embroidered with gold threads, giving it a very luxurious look.The man sat on a wooden wheelchair, not disturbed by the movement around him, eating and looking at the sea.

Lan Ming walked up to the man carefully, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here alone?"

The man looked sideways at Lan Ming, and asked back, "Who are you? And why did you come here?"

Lan Ming said: "I came with me...with my father, but he disappeared after following him here." Lan Ming wanted to say "Master Lan", but Han Qili told him before leaving, Don't tell strangers what's going on at home.Therefore, he could only lie to this "stranger".

The man's demeanor seemed to be naturally cold, and he didn't seem to be very happy when he treated the child, but he was not so disgusted: "Then I will find your father, how can a child run around?"

Lan Ming squatted next to the man's wooden wheelchair, and said braggingly: "I run around every day, and my masters never said anything about me. Only my sister, who is my female master, can fight I scold me."

"Do you have many masters?"

Lan Ming nodded, and said loudly: "I have seven masters, one elder brother, one older sister, and one grandpa. My elder sister is also my master, and my only female master. It's just that I never call her master. Otherwise Counting her, I should have eight masters."

The man asked, "Your other masters don't beat you? Why does your female master beat you?"

Lan Ming said embarrassingly: "Because I... I am always lazy when practicing. She said that if I am lazy when practicing, I will lose to others. If I lose to others, I will be beaten and my food will be taken away. I will not be able to survive. But I feel strange, I have my masters, and my grandfather, how can I not survive?"

The man snorted and said with a smile: "If you leave your masters and your grandfather, but you don't know anything, what should you do?"

It was the first time for Lanming to face this kind of problem. He didn't think about it. He scratched his head and said, "I... I don't know what to do. But I have learned a lot." Things, count them down for the man, "Learn to practice calligraphy with Master Shen, learn flowers and plants with Master Su, learn to fly with Master Li, learn some books with Master Jiang, and practice swordsmanship with Master Han. It’s not good. The one he taught me to play... that one, I really don’t like it.” He originally kept in mind Han Qili’s confession that he should not tell strangers about his family affairs, but when he started chatting with the man, he didn’t like it. Treat the man as a stranger.

The man asked curiously: "What is 'that'?"

"Piano." Lan Ming thought that everyone knew about "piano", as if he was talking about an ordinary object, "You have to sit still and not move, and your hands should be like holding two eggs, so they can't collapse. Every practice When I sat there, my legs were numb and my back was sore, and I was almost exhausted. And the sheet music, like a tadpole, could not be remembered or recognized completely, which was too uncomfortable. The piano was made by my Master Jiang for my Master Lan. Oh, my master Na Lan is the father I just told you... I really don’t understand why Master Jiang made this thing.”

The man didn't make a sound, his face was as white as the clouds in the sky in an instant.It was bloodless white.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Lan Ming asked concerned: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling bad?"

The man shook his head, his lips trembling slightly at first, but then the trembling became more and more severe: "You said your master...their surnames are Shen, Su, Li...and Jiang, Lan." The man said Here, my throat suddenly choked, and I couldn't continue, "Then you... what's your sister's name? What's your brother's name?"

Lan Ming said: "My brother's surname is Ling, and my sister's surname is Jing."

As if the air had been cut off, the man suddenly took a deep breath, and his breathing became short of breath.He grabbed Lan Ming's arms, holding them quite tightly: "What about you? What's your name?"

"I...I..." Lan Ming was startled by his reaction, "My name is Lan Ming."

"Lan... Lan Ming?" The man's face became paler and paler, his whole body was trembling, and his eye sockets suddenly turned red on this snow-white face.

Lan Ming has never seen such an expression from a human being. He doesn't know what's wrong with him, but he just knows that he is not feeling well, so he quickly asked, "Are you thirsty and want to drink water? I'll get you some water."

He saw a beautiful big house far behind the man, and he thought to himself that there must be water in that house, so he ran to that big house immediately.

He ran halfway, when he suddenly heard someone shout: "Minger! Minger!"

Following the sound, Lan Ming saw Lan Jiansu running towards him impatiently.

Lan Jiansu pulled Lan Ming, and asked scoldingly: "Ming'er, how can you run around? Do you know how worried I am when I can't find you! What if you are picked up by others and cause harm to others?"

Lan Ming hurriedly explained: "I didn't run around, I saw a person who looks exactly like you, and I thought he was you, so I came here."

Lan Jiansu glanced around and scolded, "You're lying, is there anyone here?"

"Why is there no one?" A man's voice suddenly came out from behind them.

Lan Ming opened his eyes wide and wondered, "Hey, Uncle, why did you come here suddenly?"

The man just now was still on the coast far away from them, Lan Ming clearly didn't see him move, but seeing him suddenly appear in front of him again, he couldn't help being very surprised.

When Lan Jiansu saw the man, his pupils shook violently, and he pulled Lan Ming behind him: "Ming Er, get behind you."

Lan Chongyan sneered, "Why are you so nervous, do you think I will harm him?"

Lan Jiansu remained silent.He just stared at Lan Chongyan vigilantly, and then his eyes fell on his wooden wheelchair and his legs. More or less, his eyes softened a little: "What happened to your legs? It was after the ancient Qiang battle. thing?"

Lan Chongyan was not of Lou Sang's blood, and Lan Jiansu expected that he suffered a backlash in the ancient Qiang battlefield and was ill.But I didn't expect that it was a pair of legs that were useless.

Lan Chongyan gave a perfunctory "Yes", looked at Lan Ming and asked, "Is he your child?"

Lan Ming rushed ahead of Lan Jiansu and replied, "No, he picked me up."

Lan Chongyan said: "Oh, I picked it up."

"You..." Lan Jiansu seemed to have something to say to him, but the words came to his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word, "If you don't want to be the emperor, you can stay in the capital, why are you so far away from the capital?" where?"

Lan Chongyan said: "What's so good about being in the capital?" He didn't want to say the phrase "Because you came from here".

Lan Jiansu seemed to have nothing to say to him, and said: "Since your legs are not good, don't blow the sea breeze. Tell your servants to come and push you back to rest."

"Hey... Indeed, the wheelchair was wet by the waves just now, and it was uncomfortable to sit on." Lan Chongyan stood up, pushed the wheelchair aside, and his legs were completely fine.

Lan Jiansu: "..."

Lan Jiansu: "Isn't your leg useless?"

Lan Chongyan said: "When did I say that my legs are useless? It's just that my legs are sore and I don't want to move."

After being stunned for a moment, Lan Jiansu said with a helpless smile, "I thought your legs were falling ill, but it turned out to be just sore legs. Why did you make yourself look so miserable?"

"Aren't I miserable enough?" Lan Chongyan turned around, facing the sea, thinking of the series of masters that Lanming just said, and said coolly, "Everyone has you, but I can't... Six years of obsession …Six years are short.”

When did this obsession appear?when is itDuring the years when Lan Jiansu left, Lan Chongyan kept thinking about this question.Was it when I was a child?But when he was a child, he really only regarded Lan Jiansu as a sworn enemy and a brother, and he never had such feelings.

It should be, when his father was still alive, when Lan Jiansu called out the ghost for the first time in the hall and brought down Shi Yougong.

At that time, seeing Lan Jiansu who was so easy and unrestrained, this obsession grew.

Lan Chongyan bowed his head in regret and lamented his "loss", the unwillingness turned red again in his eye sockets.

After a long time, he heard Lan Jiansu say, "No one has ever owned me."

Lan Jiansu and him watched the sea quietly.Lan Ming couldn't understand what the two adults were talking about, so he squatted on the beach and played with the sand.

"In Zhenyou." Generally, when Lan Jiansu uses the three characters "in Zhenyou", he often refers to the world in his previous life, "There is such a sentence. When two people are together, there is no distinction between high and low status .Whether you are the suitor or the one being pursued. It is the other party who is willing to come to you, not you who choose to let the other party stay. "

Lan Chongyan stared at the deep blue sea, silent for a long time.No matter how you look at this sea, you can't tell that the sea in the Dafang Islands is as blue as the legend.

Eagles wailed from the sky, and wolf hawks led the boats from the Dafang Islands to the shore.It was the boat that Hua Wu asked Lang Ying to attract for Lan Jiansu.

time to go.Lan Jiansu asked Lan Ming to stand up.

Lan Ming stood up from the sand, and patted the sand on his hands.

"You're leaving...do you have anything else to say to me?" Lan Chongyan looked sideways at the big boat, his voice getting hoarse.

Lan Jiansu said: "This sea is sealed off, presumably because you, the Supreme Emperor, are here. But the fishermen have to make a living, I hope you will open up some ports to them."

Lan Chongyan said: "I thought you lived in seclusion, so you no longer care about Dafeng's affairs."

"Since you have seen something, you should do something."

"But to you, shouldn't Dafeng be a place where hatred breeds? It's Dafeng who caused you..." Lan Chongyan stopped talking.He shouldn't have exposed Lan Jiansu's old scars.

Lan Jiansu smiled, and asked irrelevantly: "I haven't been back to the Central Plains for a long time, and when I come back here again, I'm full of emotions. I don't know whether to say love or hate. It's just that last night, I dreamed of this mountain and river, and every inch is old. Go down, like our faces. Time will make everything old. People are like this, and so is Jiangshan."

Lan Chongyan said he couldn't understand.

Lan Jiansu said that he should understand.

Holding Lan Ming's hand, Lan Jiansu said, "I should go. Chongyan, let's say goodbye now."

"Jiansu!" Lan Chongyan said "Jiansu", as if he had shouted many years ago, his voice was as pure as a boy's.

Lan Jiansu looked back, and met Lan Chongyan's sparkling eyes.

Lan Chongyan lowered his eyelids, lowered his head and turned away, suppressing extremely painful emotions.

"If... if you can meet me again when you come to the Central Plains next time, then..." he read carefully, "if you don't blame me... let's go." He no longer knew what he was doing Muttering something, said, "You go."

Lan Jiansu suddenly seemed to have a fishbone stuck in his throat, choking painfully.After a long delay, he nodded heavily, and led Lan Ming to the beach.

Lan Jiansu led Lan Ming onto the boat, and the boat had to be blessed by Taoist Zhong's spells, and sailed leisurely to the surface of the sea.

Lan Jiansu turned back to look at Lan Chongyan, Lan Chongyan was still standing on the coast, staring at the direction they left.

At this time, a "person" came out of the mansion.Slowly walked to Lan Chongyan's side.

Lan Jiansu recognized that the "person" was not a real person, but a puppet, which had cast spells, so it could walk like a normal person.

That puppet, standing beside Lan Chongyan, made Lan Chongyan's figure on the coast look no longer so lonely.

Lan Chongyan should have made this with his own hands, as a doll to accompany him.

And this doll looks exactly like Lan Jiansu.
