Wait a minute, heroine

A red sun jumped out of the sand sea, and the rays of rays decorated the tents by the lake into pale gold.

The door curtain was still closed, and Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged in the tent, secretly reviewing last night's fight and realization.

From the battle last night, Night Terror Hall made a huge profit. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "seeing the real sky for the first time".

In the past, he really thought that the only way to reach the top was the Song of the Dragon, but now he discovered that no matter what martial arts school, the result would be the same to the end.

For example, She Long's "Double Buddha Arms", if you study it to the extreme, it will be golden scales and jade bones; Liu Qiansheng's Tingfeng Palm and Qiu Tianhe's Tianhe Dao can be regarded as the most basic version of the Ming Shen Tu.

Shui'er had never practiced bathing in fire before, but no matter what kind of poison she was poisoned, she could slowly get rid of it. This should be because she had entered the realm of 'refining qi'.

The martial arts of these schools are scattered and fragmented, just like the "low-grade skills" and loose magical powers that are simple in structure and not very effective. They are only for beginners.

The Nine Singing Dragon Pictures is a masterpiece that has been polished to the extreme by all the body-refining methods in the world.

The 'Refining Qi and Transforming God' that Lu Taiqing realized by himself is definitely not as powerful and flawless as the Minglongtu. Just like the 'Nine Arts', it has many shortcomings and flaws.

But Lu Taiqing learned the route step by step. No matter how bad he is, he is very familiar with his strengths and weaknesses. In actual combat, he can use his strengths, avoid weaknesses, and adapt to the enemy.

Ordinary people, after learning the Ming Long Diagram, are better than Lu Taiqing in the technique, but they do not understand the principles behind the technique and dare not mess with the Ming Dragon Diagram.

Minglongtu is the path that Wu Taizu took, and it is completely suitable for Wu Taizu, but no one is exactly the same in the world. Everyone's physical fitness, personality, specialties, etc. are different. This leads to others practicing the same, and there must be something wrong with it.

This is actually the same as practicing martial arts in the world - the master steps three and a half feet in one step because he is eight feet tall, which is just the right stride; the apprentice is only six feet tall and doesn't understand why the master strides so far in one step, so he mechanically learns the three and a half feet in one step. If you still don’t dare to change, how can you do this without any effort?

The master's step is three and a half feet, and the apprentice adjusts it according to his own situation and finds the stride that best suits him. Only when the martial arts learned is completely suitable for his own conditions can he be considered a serious learner.

Speaking of which, like Lu Taiqing, it may be more practical to realize your own small path. Even if you don't get the big road until your death, you will still walk your own path, and you will die without regrets.

And to fully understand such a masterpiece as "The Singing Dragon Picture", one must be on par with or even surpass Wu Taizu. After studying for a lifetime, only to find that the talent is not enough to understand it, how can one die of frustration?

…

Ye Jingtang secretly analyzed last night's thoughts without paying attention to how much time had passed. He didn't open his eyes until there was a slight movement beside him.

There are no beds in the tents. After setting up camp here, they always make beds on the ground.

At this time, on the blanket beside him, the two daughters-in-law who had worked all night were sleeping peacefully with their eyes closed.

Ning'er was lying on the right side, wearing only a blue gauze bellyband and no bow pants, with only a piece of silk hanging around her waist.

The charming Sanniang was lying in front of him, with the silk quilt draped over her chest, showing off her round and plump figure. Maybe she felt that the light on the tent was dazzling, so she turned over to face Ning'er, which caused The white full moon moved to the side of his legs, and also took away the silk quilt around Ning'er's waist.

Ye Jingtang blinked and tilted his head to admire the two white and pink steamed buns. Since it was already dawn, it was not appropriate to mess around anymore, so he raised his hand and pinched Sanniang's buttocks.

Pei Xiangjun's eyelashes fluttered, and then he woke up sleepily and looked back softly:

"Why is it already dawn... Are you feeling better?"

Ye Jingtang was injured last night and has recovered with the efficacy of lotus seeds. Although compared to the human body, the efficacy of green lotus seeds is still too exaggerated, but it is still stronger than black lotus seeds. At least it can be suppressed during the battle, and it will not matter afterwards. It's like being delayed.

But it's a pity that Huang Liansheng didn't feel bad for being in this "little lotus field". There were so many green lotus seeds, but only three were left. The black medicine was too strong to be suppressed at all, and the brown medicine was probably too choking. He couldn't eat it as jelly beans, which was a pity when he thought about it.

Seeing Sanniang's concern, Ye Jingtang lowered his head and kissed his forehead:

"It's completely healed. Get up and have something to eat."

Pei Xiangjun actually struggled a lot last night, and he still doesn't want to move, but he slowly stood up and raised his hand to hold Ye Jingtang's head to help him wake up.

Luo Ning was actually awake when the two of them were talking. She pretended to be asleep simply because she was afraid of another night terror, so she could secretly observe the situation.

After Ye Jingtang woke up for a while, seeing that Ning'er didn't respond, he went up to her and was ready to reason with her again.

Luo Ning noticed something was wrong and quickly opened her eyes, sat up, hugged Ye Jingtang and said:

"Okay, you go out and let's change clothes."

Ye Jingtang was finally satisfied and stood up and left the tent.

Although he had brought more than thirty black government experts to take charge of security during this trip, She Long probably also knew that the most meaningless profession in the world should be his bodyguards, so he went to the Stone Palace voluntarily without Benben's orders. Study the stone tablet so as not to disturb his rest.

At this time, it was just dawn, and there was no one inside or outside the camp. Ye Jingtang glanced around and saw that Benben and Hua Qingzhi were sleeping in the tent, while Niaoniao was standing on the sand dunes by the lake, letting the morning pass. The wind blows the white fur, which gives a sense of desolation that "every inch of lovesickness hurts, every inch of lovesickness breaks the bird's heart".

Ye Jingtang was startled and came to the front. He wanted to ask what Niaoniao was crazy about, but when he got closer, he saw the Queen Mother in a dark red dress, sitting behind a small sand dune, holding her knees with her hands in a daze, her back Looks very pitiful.

?

When Ye Jingtang saw the hand warmer in such miserable condition, he naturally frowned and came to the front and lowered his head to look at it:

"Huaiyan?"

The Queen Mother was sitting by the lake, staring at the sunrise between the sea of ​​sand, with a lost look on her face, almost depressed. She didn't react much when she heard the sound, she just pursed her lips, and then tears rolled down her face.

Ye Jingtang's heart was twitching, and he quickly sat down, holding his shoulders and asking:

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

The Queen Mother's eyes were red, her red lips moved slightly but she didn't say a word. She just leaned on Ye Jingtang's shoulder and handed him a stack of papers in her hand.

Ye Jingtang took the yellowed paper and looked at it carefully. It can be seen that the content of the paper looks more like a memoir. The only titles are "me" and "wife". The content is roughly:

When I arrived at Crescent Bay, my mood became increasingly depressed because there was no scenery in the desert and no people to see. In order to coax my wife, I sometimes took her to visit famous mountains and rivers in the world, and even planted a sea of ​​flowers in Crescent Bay...

Ye Jingtang frowned slightly and turned over a few pages. From the details, it can be seen that this is the follow-up content of "The Secret History of Marie Claire". There is no dramatic creation in the book, just recalling bits and pieces of the past. .

The paper is written in great detail, every frown and every smile is recorded in it. The author's affection can be felt between the lines. There is even content about taking the 'lady' to the underground palace to see the stone tablets.

Ye Jingtang had just read a few pages when he felt the sadness of the author when he wrote these things. He secretly felt that something was wrong and turned the paper to the back. Sure enough, he saw - the woman who was called "the lady" could not learn because of her lack of talent. The method of longevity, I closed my eyes in the arms of the author at the age of seventy...

Seventy years old...

Isn’t this the joyous mourning of ending one’s life...

Ye Jingtang blinked and looked at the Queen Mother who was in tears:

"People will eventually grow old, sick, and die. Seventy years old is considered a long life. If you die in the arms of your sweetheart...Hey, don't cry, don't cry."

When the Queen Mother saw Ye Jingtang saying this, her eyes became even more aggrieved.

After all, "The Secret History of Marie Antoinette" is not an ordinary book. It records the story of a woman who suffered from the same illness as her. After being lonely in the palace for many years, she escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and gained a new life.

Before she saw this book, she spent the rest of her life staring at it, but this book gave her the courage to secretly fantasize.

After being together with Ye Jingtang, the more they experienced each other, the more she hoped that the content in the book was true. Every time she could not fall asleep after dreaming at midnight, she would take out this book and read it, looking forward to finally getting married. That day.

The ending in the book is so perfect, coming to this undisturbed place in the world, and staying with my sweetheart in the sea of ​​flowers forever. That was why she wanted to visit Crescent Bay.

But now, the paper told her:

The Queen Mother's talent was mediocre, she didn't learn the art of immortality, so she went to the west...

She also has mediocre talent!

The Queen Mother was already sentimental, and she became depressed when she thought that the lover in the book had already passed away, and that she herself would very likely make the same mistake again and pass away decades later, never to see the Night Terror Hall again.

"How can you do this……"

The Queen Mother looked up at Ye Jingtang, obviously unable to accept this blow, her words were slurred, and finally she lay in Ye Jingtang's arms, sobbing softly.

Ye Jingtang is also a book fan, and he understands how uncomfortable it is to see the bleak endings of the people in the books.

But staying together for a lifetime, sleeping in the arms of your lover at the age of seventy, is not a tragedy no matter how you look at it. Seeing that Huaiyan couldn't think about it, he advised softly:

"Don't cry, Queen Mother Yan has been loved all her life. Before she went west, she rested in the arms of the person she loved. If it were me, I would only feel that I have no regrets in this life. I didn't marry the wrong person or be reluctant to leave, but I definitely didn't. Pity……"

The Queen Mother sobbed twice, and felt that what she said made sense, so she raised her eyes:

"If I die of old age, will you hug me like this..."

Ye Jingtang was a little helpless and raised his hand to interrupt his silly words:

"The Singing Dragon Picture can lead to immortality. Let's all learn from it. There is no saying that heaven and man will be separated forever."

"But I am stupid and can't learn..."

Ye Jingtang hugged the Queen Mother a little tighter:

"Where are you stupid? You can understand the bathing in fire diagram yourself, and you can still achieve your current skills without practicing at all. It sounds like you are gifted. If you practice hard, you can catch up in less than two years.

"And what I read in the book is the 'Nine Arts', so it's not normal to learn them. The Singing Dragon Picture is different. You can learn it if you have the brain. Just leave it to me to find the picture. Even if you can't find it, I can learn it in the future." I will make a set of singing dragon pictures for you to learn..."

The Queen Mother did not expect to live forever, but was afraid of separation. After being persuaded for a moment, she continued:

"Think of the worst in everything. If I can't learn it, don't be as stupid as the people in the book. If I can die in your arms, I will be satisfied. You can just burn more paper money for me every year... Birds and birds are also burned by me..."

"grumble?"

The sad Niaoniao who was accompanying him behind him was stunned!

Ye Jingtang shook his head and sighed, then picked up the paper and looked back, only to find that the content behind it was that after the heroine passed away, the author couldn't let it go. He searched all over the mountains and seas but still couldn't find the way to return to heaven, and finally realized that people can't die after death. Resurrection.

The author originally wanted to die for love, but he couldn't die just like that, because once he died, no one knew about the two of them, and his wife completely disappeared from this world.

For this reason, he wrote down the story of the two people's experiences and passed them down to the world, so that each other would live in the hearts of the world forever. Then he became a monk and became a monk.

This memoir was written by the author before he became a monk. It may not be written to anyone, but because he wants us to stay together forever in Crescent Bay and that moment when we finally get married, but at the same time, we don’t want my wife’s smiles after her seclusion to disappear from the world. Therefore, the book only writes about Crescent Bay, and the rest of the story is left in the underground palace.

After reading Ye Jingtang, his eyes looked slightly sad:

"It is indeed a seed of infatuation... The book says that he is buried at Niangzi Peak. How about we go and burn incense?"

The Empress Dowager was so sad that she had to go to burn incense sticks to worship her son even if it was a knife from the sky. She immediately asked:

“Where is Lady Peak?”

"In Hongshan, it's not far from the Snowy Mountains we went to last time."

The Queen Mother blinked, grabbed Ye Jingtang's sleeve, and whispered:

"You go with me, just the two of us, okay?"

Seeing Huaiyan's extremely expectant look, Ye Jingtang said cheerfully:

"Of course. We will set off later."

The Queen Mother finally smiled, raised her head and kissed Ye Jingtang's lips, then took the paper and put it in her arms like a treasure.

Ye Jingtang lowered his head and saluted, then got up and sent the Queen Mother back to the tent, and began to make arrangements for the return trip.

Although the stone tablets in the stone hall are not as good as the Singing Dragon Picture, they are still very important. If the news spreads, there will be countless people from the world who come to learn from it, and it will easily cause big troubles.

But the stone tablet weighs tens of thousands of kilograms, and even the thirty or so men from Hei Yamen would be exhausted and unable to carry it out of the desert.

For this reason, Ye Jingtang could only arrange for half of the black yamen to be stationed in the stone palace as guards. He led the team to quickly turn back, mobilize troops from Shazhou City, and find a way to transport the stone tablet back to the capital.

Going from Crescent Bay to Shazhou City is much closer than looking back to Heya. Everyone came here with light equipment and good horses, and they were familiar with the route. It didn’t take much time to get there. We broke camp at dawn and arrived at dusk. Shazhou City.

Shazhou City is too remote and its prosperity is far less than that of the mainland, but it has quite an exotic character. The streets are filled with camel caravans and merchants selling various local products. There are even "roasted whole camels". Specialties that you can't find anywhere else.

After Ye Jingtang arrived at the place, he settled near the food street in the city. Dongfang Liren also did not forget his promise of "not shutting up for three days" and began to take Fat Concubine out to sweep the streets. As a result, Niaoniao directly ordered a roasted whole camel. , the portion is enough to last half a year.

Ye Jingtang hasn't been to Shazhou City for a long time, and he misses it a lot. However, the hand warmer finally made a pilgrimage to the desert, so he must focus on business at the moment.

For this reason, after communicating with the officials in Shazhou City, they moved a charcoal-red horse and galloped towards Hongshan in the name of sending the Queen Mother to offer incense...

The detailed outline at the end of the volume is gone, so I just kept busy writing. From four o'clock yesterday afternoon until now, most of them are intermittent scraps. Fortunately, this volume should be finished tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
