Scroll of Seven Sorrows

The fog is steaming, and the road made of green bricks is winding.Crowds of people came and went, the roadside rouge peddler hid under a big umbrella, and the sky in the distance suddenly turned from azure blue half an hour ago to jet black.

It's going to rain.

The people who were walking slowly on the street just now quickened their pace one by one.

"I'll go back and get the umbrella." Xie Bi'an said.

Fan Wujiu looked around, the street was full of pedestrians and vendors just now, there was almost nothing left, everyone was looking for a place to hide from the rain.The rain in this season is almost all torrential rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and it is easy to refuse to stop.

Fan Wujiu weighed himself up and said, "I'll go with you."

But Xie Bi'an turned his head and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'll be alone. Find a place to hide from the rain for a while, and I'll be right back."

Xie Bi'an's glance back made Fan Wujiu feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.He nodded, pointed to the stone bridge not far away, and said, "I'll wait for you under the bridge, go and come back quickly."

Xie Bi'an smiled and said "Okay", and then glanced towards the direction of the bridge, as if he was worried about something, but he didn't express the worry in his heart, but turned around and ran towards home.

Fan Wujiu ran under the bridge quickly as agreed.The small arch bridge made of bluestone slabs, the willows caressing the dense river surface, and the handsome young man rushing into it should be a beautiful scene.

"Tick tock", a drop of rain fell from the clouds.Then, thousands of drops of rain also fell.

Fan Wujiu sat cross-legged under the arch bridge, watching the rain fall from the sky along the edge of the arch bridge like a curtain.

But after a while, Fan Wujiu realized something was wrong.The river swelled a little too fast, and before he knew it, his ankles were already covered by the river water. Is this going to flood?

Do you want to get out of here?Fan Wujiu wanted to poke his head out to see if Xie Bi'an had arrived, but the heavy rain made him hesitate.Forget it, Xie Bi'an will be back soon anyway, it's raining so hard, what if he runs out and doesn't see himself, he looks for someone along the river, what if he is accidentally washed away by the flood?

The rain became heavier and heavier, the lotus leaves on the river surface were turned over by the heavy rain, Fan Wujiu felt a little sleepy.No, I can't sleep, but if I don't sleep, I'm really sleepy. Gradually, his consciousness became blurred. Although he clearly knew that he couldn't sleep at the moment, he still couldn't control himself.

Then, let's sleep for a while, just sleep for a while...

"Fan Wujiu—"

It was Xie Bi'an's voice.Fan Wujiu suddenly came to his senses, he wanted to get up and respond to Xie Bi'an, but suddenly he was horrified to find that he was no longer under the bridge.He was standing on a gravel road in the countryside, and there was a long river in front of him. Xie Bi'an was on the other side of the river with his back to him, holding an umbrella, and anxiously calling his name.

Fan Wujiu stretched out a hand to stop Xie Bi'an, but he couldn't make any sound.Then the scene changed, and the opposite side of the river turned into a bright sunny day.Xie Bi'an took the three-foot-long white silk, walked to the side of the stone arch bridge with a smile, and tied the white silk to the bridge pillar.

"No—Bian!" Fan Wujiu shouted with all his strength.

"What's the matter, Ba Ye, did you have a nightmare?"

Fan Wujiu opened his eyes, Xie Bi'an was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand, smiling at him.Fan Wujiu sighed, it turned out that he was not by the Wangchuan River, but at home.

By the way, how could he have forgotten that the Naihe Bridge has been built on the Wangchuan River, and the two sides of Huangquan Road are also full of flowers from the other side, which is completely different from the one in his dream.

"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare." Fan Wujiu said.

Xie Bi'an didn't continue to ask Fan Wujiu what kind of dream he had, he just said: "I made something, after eating we have to go to the next era."

Fan Wujiu rubbed his head, threw out all the negative emotions that occupied his mind just now, and then got off the bed: "What's the next task?"

Qi Ye brought the food to the table, then sat on the sofa in the living room, and hooked his fingers at Ba Ye.Ba Ye was kind, and sat obediently beside Qi Ye.

I saw Qi Ye put his hands on Ba Ye's shoulders, leaned close to his ear, and said in a very charming voice: "Do you know what is the most painful thing in the world?"

I don't know what kind of madness Qiye is going on, but Baye froze, swallowed, and replied: "I don't know."

"You can't ask for it." Seventh Master's voice is a hearty youthful voice, not as deep and magnetic as Eighth Master's, but it has an extraordinary charm, "You can't love it, you can't want it, the more you love it from the heart The more you can’t get it, every time you think it’s at your fingertips, someone will step in and take your beloved thing into your pocket.”

"You love someone, love him madly, there is no one in this world who loves him more than you. But he loves another person as deeply as you do, you must him, but he must her , even if you get the whole world, you still can't get the heart you want. Is it extremely painful." Qi Ye whispered softly.

Fan Wujiu suddenly thought of Zhao Mingzheng and Qin Yu, Meng Xuan and Xiao Lang, and then he and... Xie Bi'an.No, Xie Bi'an is his good brother, different from Meng Xuan and the others.But, is it really different?

Fan Wujiu was startled suddenly because of his thoughts, when did he gradually become unable to distinguish whether his feelings for Xie Bi'an were brotherly love or something else.

Fan Wujiu shook his head and asked, "Why is Qi Ye crazy?"

But Xie Bi'an sat up with a smile as if he had succeeded in a prank, and replied: "I'm telling Ba Ye about the next task, didn't you ask Ba Ye yourself?"

Realizing that he was molested by Xie Bi'an, Fan Wujiu pushed Xie Bi'an's head helplessly: "Is it interesting to play me?"

"Baye, do you understand that you have to be responsible when you speak? I'm not kidding you." Xie Bi'an was happy, and the whole ghost trembled with the laughter.

Seeing him smiling so brightly, Fan Wujiu immediately "screwed evil", put his arms around Xie Bi'an's waist, and pushed him onto the sofa.Xie Bi'an immediately lost his balance and was thrown onto the sofa by Fan Wujiu.

The laughter stopped abruptly, the two ghosts looked at each other for a long time, Xie Bi'an's tongue had already drooped from the corner of his mouth, Fan Wujiu felt a little nervous, and let go of his hand in a panic.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Cough, I'll tell you about the next task." Xie Bi'an spoke first to break the delicate atmosphere between the two ghosts.

This time the story happened in a very early era, and the protagonist of the story is a man named Yin Zihui.At that time, the owner of the Central Plains was not called the emperor, but the emperor.Yin Zihui is the king of his country.

Yin Zihui has a playmate who grew up together, named Jiang Ju.Jiang Ju was born in the general family and accompanied Yin Zihui in the palace since he was a child. He has a very good relationship with the king.But what Jiang Ju didn't know was that for Yin Zihui, he was not only a brother who grew up with him, but also Yin Zihui's favorite person.But Jiang Ju is an out-and-out straight man, he doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​Yin Zihui, and he has never noticed Yin Zihui's feelings for him.

Later, during a hunting trip, Jiang Ju met a girl named Ji Lan, and fell in love with her because of her straightforwardness and boldness.Ji Lan was the daughter of a minister, she was good at riding and shooting since she was a child, although she was a daughter, she was not weak at all.Jiang Ju launched a fierce pursuit of Ji Lan, and Ji Lan gradually fell in love with this sincere man.

But when the two were discussing marriage, the country's border was invaded by foreigners, and Yin Zihui appointed Jiang Ju as the general to lead troops to fight against the enemy.Jiang Ju stayed at the border for several years, but when he returned triumphantly, he found that Ji Lan had become the queen.

Seeing that the girl he loved turned out to be his best brother's woman, Jiang Ju was disheartened and asked to be guarded.Yin Zihui persuaded him for a long time, but failed to change Jiang Ju's wishes. He could only agree to his request and make him king.The border is bitterly cold, and Jiang Ju has been in the frontier fortress for many years, and the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, gradually threatening the royal power.The ministers persuaded Yin Zihui to recall Jiang Ju to the capital and withdraw his fiefdom.Yin Zihui hasn't seen his beloved for many years, and he misses Jiang Ju day and night, so he goes along with the flow and pretends to agree to the ministers' request to recall Jiang Ju.

Yin Zihui's original intention was to take back Jiang Ju's fiefdom, and then give Jiang Ju high-ranking officials a generous salary so that he can stay in the capital for a long time.But Jiang Ju thought that Yin Zihui wanted to kill him and seize power despite years of brotherhood.Jiang Ju has been at the border all these years, but in fact he has already turned against him. As long as he can replace Yin Zihui as the emperor, then Ji Lan can belong to him again.For Ji Lan's sake, and at the same time to protect himself, Jiang Ju resisted and refused to follow the order, and led his troops all the way back to the capital.

The soldiers approached the city, and when Jiang Ju arrived, there were only Yin Zihui and Ji Lan left in the palace.Seeing his thoughtful face day and night, even if he wanted to kill him, Yin Zihui was still very excited.He tried his best to control the trembling on his body and walked towards Jiang Ju, who also walked towards him with a smile.But what greeted him in the end was not Jiang Ju's warm embrace, but a cold weapon.When Yin Zihui was dying, he watched Jiang Ju hold Jilan in his arms. He had never seen such a gentle expression on Jiang Ju's face.

"Ji Lan?" Fan Wujiu murmured.

Xie Bi'an closed the scroll of Seven Sufferings, and asked, "What? Master Ba knows?"

Fan Wujiu quickly waved his hand and said, "No."

Xie Bi'an said: "Isn't Yin Zihui very pitiful, he loved him all his life, but in the end he got nothing." Fan Wujiu felt that there was a trace of inexplicable sadness in Xie Bi'an's eyes at this time, as if something hurt his own kind.

"He chose it himself, and he can't blame others. He shouldn't have married Ji Lan." Fan Wujiu said, "Ji Lan belongs to his brother, he shouldn't snatch it."

Xie Bi'an smiled bitterly, and then asked, "What do you think Yin Zihui wants us to do? Help him get Jiang Ju or help him protect the world?"

"I don't know. I only know that if we don't eat anymore, the food will be cold." Fan Wujiu pointed to the two forgotten dishes on the dining table.

Xie Bi'an didn't know how to answer Baye's words, obviously he was quite sad just now.

After eating, Ba Ye consciously cleaned up the tableware, and Qi Ye sat cross-legged on the sofa and finished a few games.

"Ji Lan...could it be the Ji Lan I know?" The running water in the kitchen was too loud, and the sound effects of Seventh Master's game were too loud, completely covering Eighth Master's muttering to himself.

The author has something to say:

The pre-Qin history is all in my knowledge blind spot, but the plot needs this story to be set in this way, I will try my best not to have too many bugs, and please turn a blind eye to the cuties.

Small setting: Although ghosts don't feel tired, sleeping can help restore the mana consumed daily, so if you consume too much mana during the day, you still need to sleep.Of course, not only sleep can replenish mana, food can also do it.
