Golden Light Puppet Show·Yan Qiao·Guiyan

04

From the border town to the north, it took a day or two to leave the realm of the Demon World Asura Empire.Due to frequent trade, the roads between the two countries have always been well maintained, and they are not rough and difficult. There are also simple post stations to receive business travelers after some distances.

After formally entering the territory of Yu Kingdom, the guide servant sent by Ce Jun first contacted Shangguan Hongxin with spells and informed him of the current town. When the two arrived, he set off again without stopping.Going back and forth in this way, with someone taking care of it, the journey was as easy as going out on a green trip, except for one thing that didn't go well—Yuguo was too hot.Probably because the Demon World is too unusual, and when it gets hot, it will rain from time to time to cool down, so people are not used to the real August heat.Cicadas in the mountains know that they won't survive the summer, and their screams are hoarse, which inevitably makes people feel irritable.

Qiao Tathagata sometimes does not wear cassocks, but only wears a silver-gray coat over the white cotton jacket. Her long hair is completely tied behind her head, which is a little more refreshing in her gentleness. She sits by the window and reads a book. When she is sleepy, she closes her eyes and recovers in a moment. normal.

Shangguan Hongxin couldn't do it anymore, even if Qiao Tathagata was playing a fan by his side, he was still sleepy during the day and slept until the dark.He was curled up in a deep sleep, and he had to hold something in his hands to be safe.Qiao Rulai tried stuffing the cushions, but she found it too hot, so she threw it away and grabbed the hem of his clothes, but she was still not satisfied, the best thing was his hands, and murmured in her dream that it was cold.Qiao Tathagata let him catch her, and only pulled it away when she realized that she was about to wake up.One hand is wet, the back is the hot air blown by the boy, but the palm is cold, cold to the limbs.

After traveling for more than ten days, the towns began to gather.After all, Shangguan Hongxin got used to it, and finally he could sit normally. Occasionally, Qiao Rulai wanted to hear a story, and even volunteered to read the scriptures he bought on the way.While thinking about it, she began to complain, saying that the books of the emperor and Lingzi were too bad, and that demons would not believe in promises of life and death, entrustment of the throne, and sincerity.For a different book, it is said that Lingzi and the princess finally got married after twists and turns, and even more disgusted, "That would not be the case!"

Qiao Tathagata asked what it was like, and replied: "Lingzi is arrogant because of his talent, so he doesn't care about others. As for the princesses, they are all delicate and silly. When they meet someone they like, not to mention wealth and honor, they even give away their lives... you Don't believe it."

Shangguan Hongxin lowered his head and ate plums, and told the story of a princess traveling in disguise in the devil's world, falling in love with a young swordsman, and returning home wounded in the end.Qiao Tathagata burst into tears when she heard it, and made Shangguan Hongxin laugh, and made a gesture to wipe it off.

In the evening, the two of them played chess or Shuanglu counting chips. Qiao Rulai couldn't bear it at all, and could fall asleep even if he squinted his eyes thinking about the way of chess.For several days, I asked for two rooms, but in the end only one was available. When I got up, I saw the man with black hair and black eyes sitting next to the table, eating snacks and flipping through the scriptures.Since stepping into the territory of Yu Kingdom, Shangguan Hongxin often used spells to change his appearance when he went out. The deep dark color on him was extremely docile, like a restrained and dignified noble boy.

The road is leisurely, so walk slowly. When you step into the capital, the sweet fragrance of golden osmanthus is wafting all the way.

The short courtyard is not far from the imperial city, the surrounding is quiet, rich or expensive, and it is popular even across the street.Yu Country has a long history, and the capital of the country has not moved for thousands of years. When Emperor Yuanxie invaded, it was rebuilt on a large scale, and the houses have remained quite quaint.The interior is laid with a smooth and flat wooden floor, with low furniture upholstered and a few tables, a couch under the window, and a screen to separate the low bed on three sides.Qiaoru went back and forth to the room to eat Lengtao, and after taking a shower, she fell directly on the bed, but she didn't expect to be involved in a bizarre dream.

Withdrew in the dream, Qiao Tathagata's complexion was blushing.Fragmented long red-brown hair hung down on his face, and the man said pitifully: "Finally woke up, I'm going to starve to death after eating."

Qiao Tathagata stepped over him and got out of the bed as if surprised, put on the cassock hanging at the side, tied the belt, and her hands were trembling slightly.

Shangguan Hongxin sat up and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Rulai kept silent, Shangguan Hongxin was puzzled and suddenly covered his nose.Blood seeped out between his fingers, he choked and started to cough when he inhaled, the blood splashed on the bedding and quickly turned dark red, which was shocking.

While wiping his face while dictating prescriptions and ordering people to grab the medicine, Shangguan Hongxin glanced at Qiao Tathagata from time to time, his eyes were so subtle that people couldn't understand.

Qiao Rulai has a bad spleen and stomach and always eats less, so she put down her chopsticks and sat aside to chant sutras.Shangguan Hongxin was forced to listen for a while, but he couldn't let go of his messy thoughts, "Master, are you unhappy? I'm about to ascend to heaven."

Qiao Rulai said shyly, "Recently I've been a little impetuous."

Shangguan Hongxin was really afraid of him, so he hurriedly finished eating and asked someone to move the chessboard to rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering.

The outcome of the two is generally between seven and three. Shangguan Hongxin's thinking is quick and his layout is deep. Although Qiao Rulai's normal thinking is always different, he can still win with a stroke of genius.Talking and discussing the time, it was late at night, when Qiao Tathagata came to see off the guests, her eyes were dim, and she muttered that she wanted to see the séance.

Shangguan Hongxin smiled and said, "The bustle starts around sunset, don't worry."

Having said that, Qiao Tathagata still got up quite early, because Shangguan Hongxin got angry, and was persuaded by the maid to drink mung bean soup to cool off.Shangguan Hongxin only appeared slowly in the afternoon, and the two of them stepped out of the square gate together on the end of the three hundred gongs at sunset, and walked on the central axis of the imperial city.

The fuze was shot in the direction of Danzhumen, and the surrounding squares responded one after another. At the moment when the sun should be sinking, the light gradually recovered like the rising sun. Countless lights lit up the entire seemingly endless street.The businessmen who had set up sheds on both sides let out a long cry, and the nearby vendors, not to be outdone, also sang and sighed three times.The whole street is full of people coming and going, young husbands with their beautiful wives in their arms, girls in men's clothes walking in groups, women eloquently bargaining with the stall owners, and servants from good families supporting the young man. look.

After the demons danced wildly at the Demon World Festival, Qiao Tathagata thought she had seen enough.Unexpectedly, Yuguo's posture is even bigger. There are more than a hundred people in the road, and there are dozens of fire-breathing people. They spit fire again and again, which is dangerous and exciting. The roads are blocked.

"You see I didn't lie to you, did you? The Spiritual Seance is only lively at night." Shangguan Hongxin didn't bother to cover up when he went out at night, his bright eyes curled up with a smile, obviously very proud.

"What about the priest?"

"The shrine is a few squares away from the imperial city. The priests set off before hitting the gong. It will take a while to get here." Shangguan Hongxin pointed to the gate of the palace, "Let's go there and have a look later, I specially learned to hide What about body shape techniques?"

A couple was picking at the stall, and the child on the father's shoulder looked left and right curiously, and stretched out his hand to Qiao Tathagata, "Buddha, Buddha..."

Shangguan Hongxin said unexpectedly: "I actually saw a child who is considered to have a good sense in the human race."

"What?" Qiao Rulai turned around to follow his gaze, but she accidentally hit her head with a bamboo basket held high by a woman walking towards her.There were a few marks on the forehead, and a few strands of hair were taken away, and the marks leaked red quickly.He didn't think it mattered, Shangguan Hongxin suddenly stretched out his hand to untie the gauze that bound his hair, inserted his long fingers into his white hair, and smoothed it to cover the scar.He couldn't get angry, and said angrily, "I'm going to send someone to find her."

"It's okay." Qiao Rulai's eyes fluttered a little, and she lost her strength inexplicably, showing a faint smile, and said warmly: "Go to the front."

The night was getting darker, and not far away you could see the gate of Danzhu Palace with five cave entrances, and a fire suddenly lit up in the south, exploding bits and pieces in the air, forming a full moon.

Shangguan Hongxin caught Qiao Tathagata and turned into a secluded place in Fang Street, jumped directly onto the roof, and stopped on the eaves that would protrude at the intersection of Hengfang Street and Gongmen Street.He quickly formed an array, drew a circle, and said solemnly: "Be careful, the range I can maintain is not large."

The merchants quickly packed up their goods and sheds, and soldiers rushed out from the shadows, quickly restoring the street to a clean place.The people hid in the gaps and looked in the direction of the fuze.

"Are the fairies coming?"

The crisp childish words made Qiao Tathagata laugh.He was not used to dangling his legs like Shangguan Hongxin next to him, so he moved half of his body back and hugged his knees to look at the street, only then did he feel stable.

The flames shot up one after another, drawing the shape of a divine bird. The sergeant escorted the shrine lineup slowly, and the priests dressed in white were playing simple and melodious sacrificial music. The nameless wind blows, and the beautiful shadow inside can be seen at a glance.

The woman is dressed in a loose purple dress with big sleeves covering her sides, her beautiful eyes are covered by complicated bead curtains, and the rich red lips on her exposed lower face are delicate.Just a swipe of the seemingly invisible arc can make people fascinated by the perfect front face.She sat still, exuding an extremely cold breath, with a three-pointed charm in the cold, like a poison attached to the bone, and she couldn't get rid of it, it penetrated into the bones and blood and devoured people's mind.

When the woman passed by, Shangguan Hongxin raised his hand to pinch the sword, and the phoenix-shaped light spot swooped towards the chariot, but was snuffed out by an unknown force after a moment of flapping its wings.The two already knew each other's existence, but the woman didn't care, she raised her hand casually, and a flaming phoenix whizzed out from the night, circling the sky and flying towards the palace gate, attracting exclamations and kneeling praises from the people.

Shangguan Hongxin closed his eyes, feeling desolate in his heart.

Qiao Tathagata has been observing the priest, first curious, then sighed.He remembered what Shangguan Hongxin had said casually before, that Queen Huang—the master's junior sister, one of the final victors of Yu Kingdom—was favored by heaven, and even her appearance did not age. Such a beauty is indeed a well-deserved poison.

After the Jingu queue entered the gate of the palace, the street returned to the hustle and bustle of the secular world, the fireworks were more grand than before, and the smell of sulfur wafted in the air.

Yu Country cools down very quickly at night, and the wind that blows takes away the heat of the day, Qiao Rulai couldn't help but touch his arm.With one arm resting on his waist, Shangguan Hongxin approached at some point. He lowered his head and almost touched his raised face. The distance was too close, so close that he felt something he shouldn't have, worried that the boy under the fireworks would see him The bottom of the pupil is closed in the eye.

Shangguan Hongxin called his name quietly, his deep voice was not like usual, it was a little bit angry.

Qiao Tathagata turned her head, and her slightly rough thumb brushed her chin, and the place where she touched felt a strange heat.

Shangguan Hongxin posted it.The soft lips are cold, with hesitation, they just want to touch them lightly as if they want to absorb the warmth.

In the blink of an eye, for ten thousand years, Qiao Tathagata felt suffocated for no reason, opened her lips slightly, and was breached.Shangguan Hong straddled him, pressed the back of his head and kissed, like a drowning man thirsting for breath, without a single gap.After letting go for a short while, Qiao Tathagata kept panting, the tip of her tongue brushed against his earlobe, and the indistinguishable words were like talking in a dream.They were sitting on the sloping roof, and felt that Shangguan Hongxin was about to fall backwards. Qiao Rulai had to reach out to catch it, and pressed the weight on his lips again, and the fingertips moved on the face, landing on the depression of the collarbone The small depression, the frivolous strength, ignited the fire of the prairie fire, scalding the rationality of the pretty Tathagata.

He passively endured it, and was extremely confused, obviously he was the one holding onto life to fear that he would fall, but Shangguan Hongxin didn't care.He seemed to feel that it was no big deal to fall together, just as they led him to fall together on a road that he had never imagined before.

Shangguan Hongxin sat aside, took Qiao Rulai's arm, and pinched his cold fingers.

Qiao Rulai's blank eyes flashed past fireworks, and the moonlight of the reunion night shone into his eyes. He couldn't feel joy, but only thought that his thoughts were exposed to the world, which was extremely embarrassing.

Once you care about someone and your mind is disturbed, no matter how many Buddhist scriptures you read, you will be deceiving yourself and others.

"Let go." Qiao Rulai rarely cooled her voice.

Shangguan Hongxin couldn't help but laugh outrageously, "I don't!"

As if his strength had been exhausted by the entanglement just now, Qiao Rulai's brows and eyes were stained with fatigue, and he said in a hoarse voice: "This is not good."

"It could be worse."

Shangguan Hongxin was silent for a while and sneered, his face was much colder than the moon and the wind, he hugged Qiao Tathagata horizontally, and shuttled between the buildings.

The arm was buckled in pain, Qiao Rulai unconsciously grabbed Shangguan Hongxin's chest, remembering that when they first met, they were led to an unknown direction.At that time I didn't know, so I was still flustered, but now I only have unspeakable pain in my heart.Knowing that he will not hurt himself, I just hope that this road will never end, and I can be with you longer.

Shangguan Hongxin landed in the yard, repelling and ordering people, almost dragging Qiao Tathagata into the room, unwilling and unable, his strength was abnormally strong, the wrist of Qiao Tathagata was so painful that it was dislocated, and he broke free with a hoarse sound, leaving behind A deep red mark.

After a moment of stalemate, Shangguan Hongxin walked away.

Water was prepared in the side room, and Qiao Rulai took off her clothes layer by layer, immersed herself in the water, closed her eyes and blew air bubbles until she was almost out of breath.Meditating blankly, his fingertips were blistered and wrinkled.

Qiao Rulai felt a little pathetic.

The timing and object of this emotion are very strange, and I can only force myself to suppress it, waiting for time to unravel.

The change of clothes was placed behind the screen, and the cassock that had not been worn once was hung.After wiping her hair until it was half dry, Qiao Tathagata hesitated for a moment, and only put on an ordinary outer shirt. Worried about the cold, she added an extra large sleeve.He pushed open the door, stopped in his tracks, and said lightly, "Why are you doing this?"

Shangguan Hongxin sat with his head bowed beside the table. The back of his large black clothes was soaked with water falling from his hair. When he heard the voice, his shoulders trembled slightly, but he didn't move. Different red.

Qiao Tathagata stood still for a while, took a new handkerchief and covered Shangguan Hongxin's head, and said: "You should dry your hair before going to sleep, otherwise you will have a headache."

"why are you mad?"

Shangguan Hongxin raised his eyes, full of grievances, and felt as if he was going to cry the next moment.Qiao Rulai turned around to leave, but Shangguan Hongxin grabbed his sleeve, staggered up and wrapped him in his arms.

"Of course I did this because I like you." Shangguan Hongxin paused for a moment before speaking tremblingly, and then he spoke with a steady and erratic chuckle, "I disgust you."

"No." Qiao Rulai retorted subconsciously, and the hug in response seemed to rub him into her body.

Once the line in my heart is crossed, it will be beyond redemption.The boy who hugged him was a demon, Qiao Rulai reminded herself, but he... was different, so he let his feelings grow wildly.Unable to refuse being dragged and thrown on the bed, Qiao Rulai suddenly didn't care, and said lightly: "I treat you the same." Then sighed, "But I am..."

Words were swallowed in kisses.The soft lips and tongue turned into a sharp weapon for attack, snatching Qiao Tathagata's breath, trying to break his usual silence.No one can be indifferent when emotional, Qiao Rulai feels hot all over, panting with half-closed eyes.The young man reached into his clothes, bit the soft flesh on his neck, hesitantly approached and rubbed his lips, and said, "It will hurt a lot."

Qiao Tathagata responded in a low voice, hearing Shangguan Hongxin leave and return.His mind was blank since just now, and he let his hands dipped in grease, and entered patiently.

[Have a car, code manually, Lof: rio-yukimiao, Weibo: Handeng Qianche]

After going through a lot of ups and downs for the first time, and tossing in the water again, when she woke up the next day, Qiao Rulai had a bit of a cold, lazily leaning on the outer couch and sniffling.

Shangguan Hongxin wrote a prescription as soon as he picked up the pen and asked people to grab the medicine. His face was rippling in broad daylight, and Qiao Rulai looked at it, with awkwardness lingering in his heart, and he made up his mind not to pay attention to it.

Shangguan Hongxin seemed to be dizzy from the heat, he wanted to come over to read the book, and he listened carefully to the Buddha, but he didn't want to look at him, so he lay down on the couch and pretended to be dead, so he asked someone to bring water and Tea leaves the tea himself, the gentleness and innocence in his eyes are like a newborn little beast, knocking on Qiao Tathagata's heart, as if he abandoned an innocent child, truly heinous.

Qiao Rulai beckoned, Shangguan Hongxin put down his teacup and leaned on the side of the couch, hugged his thin body, and leaned on his chest contentedly.

Qiao Tathagata sighed, Shangguan Hongxin raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"I don't understand what kind of person you are."

"I'm not human, but I can be your person." Shangguan Hongxin tilted his head and smiled, "But I think you can't bear my pain, and you're tired on the top, so I can't bear you either."

Qiao Rulai didn't change her face, pretending she didn't hear anything.He went to flip through the book, but the words fell into his eyes, and he could understand them individually, but he couldn't understand anything together, and he only moved a few pages after a long while.

Shangguan Hongxin wrapped his lips around him: "It's rare to come to Yu Country, let's go out and play."

"Can I?" Qiao Rulai felt pain all over her body, she said helplessly, "Let me be quiet for a while."

Shangguan Hongxin went straight to the couch, laying on Qiao Tathagata's shoulder without moving, and said in a muffled voice, "It's quiet now."

Qiao Rulai said, "Aren't you too hot?"

"Don't despise me." Shangguan Hongxin hugged him tighter.

Qiao Rulai was confused by his attitude, she didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable, but what he said was like a bastard who ate everything and clapped his hands and left.

"Pretty as you come."

"Ok?"

Shangguan Hongxin pressed his ear and said, "So I thought you sounded good when you spoke, but I didn't expect it to sound especially good when you cried... Oh, it hurts!"

Qiao Rulai slapped him on the forehead, closed his eyes patiently, turned over and said nothing.

"Are you really ignoring me?"

Shangguan Hongxin didn't get angry when he bumped into a wall, he took the script aside and began to read softly.
