Chapter 234 Main Story Ending - Daoist
There are many hills in the land of Bashu, and the trees grow densely among the mountains. Occasionally, a ray or two of sunlight through the dense branches and leaves shines into the forest, adding a bit of otherworldly charm to the dense forest.
"Haha, haha..."
A young man in a dark suit galloped through the forest, swung left and right, tapped his toes on the branches, and the branches shook slightly, making a slight sound...
A sharp arrow narrowly brushed past his ankle, and landed on the tree trunk soundlessly.A slender rope popped out of the dark-colored youth's hand in an instant, and the rope was tightly wound around a higher branch. Taking advantage of this tight moment, the youth exerted strength with his feet and jumped again, and his body sank into the ground. Among the lush foliage...
The boy hid his figure, hiding among the luxuriant branches and leaves, carefully watching the movements in all directions below, but something cold was quietly stuck to the back of his neck.
The boy's handsome face immediately froze:
"...Master."
The person behind him retracted the dagger attached to his neck silently, then carried him and jumped to the higher branch.
"Xiao Qi, you still lack the time to hide."
The man called the master by the young man was dressed in a standard Tangmen costume, with half of his face covered by silver armor. The other half of his face that was not covered by the silver armor was very handsome, but his eyes were always dull, unable to see the brilliance. There are also vicissitudes polished by years and experiences in the brows and eyes.It is obvious that his appearance is not showing signs of aging, but his temples are already stained with hoarfrost.
The training was still not perfect, and the boy named Tang Qi sighed sullenly.
The man from the Tang clan with his temples stained with frost was leaning against the tree trunk, looking at the setting sun in the sky.The twilight brilliance shone on his face, giving him a different kind of softness, and those dark eyes reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, and seemed to have a little more life.
Noticing that his master was looking at the sky again, the young man didn't say much. He sat cross-legged against the tree trunk and watched the sun setting in the western sky with the man.
The closer it is to the horizon, the brighter the color of the sun is, as if the large clouds were all burnt out by it.
"Just now you should pay attention to the direction of the wind in the forest and the movement of the birds."
As if it was just a moment, and several hours later, the man watching the sunset finally commented on Tang Qi's training results this time:
"If you can make insects and birds ignore your existence, you can become a teacher."
He turned his face to look at Tang Qi, because he was against the light, so his expression was a little blurred, and the eyes that were reflected in the sun returned to darkness again.The warm light at dusk only outlines the outline of his face, and his frosty white hair sways gently in the breeze.
Tang Qi looked at the figure of his master standing against the light in the sunset, and suddenly felt very sad.I can't tell why, but I just feel that his figure looks a bit lonely and desolate, like a wild goose flying south alone without a companion, or like a lone wolf looking at the moon alone on the top of a mountain at night.
Most of his contemporaries have married, but he is still single.
"Xiao Qi, what are you looking at?"
Seeing that his disciple had been staring at the sunset in a daze, Tang Wuye asked aloud.His voice was the same as before, a little low, and his tone was flat and without much emotion.
"Nothing, I just want to ask Master a question."
Tang Qi tidied up the rope in his hand and wrapped it around his right wrist. He tried his best to see the expression of the person in front of him against the light.But the surrounding light was getting darker and darker. Tang Wuye was standing on a branch against the light, his figure almost turned into a dark shadow, not to mention his expression, even his appearance was a bit unclear.
"If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
Tang Wuye stood on the branch without any movement. From Tang Qi's perspective, he could only see the hair behind him that was blown slightly by the dinner.
"Are you going out tomorrow?"
Tang Qi knew that his master had the habit of going out for a few days every month, not to complete any tasks. Uncle Xiaoyue said that it was the master's private matter, and asked him not to ask more questions.But this doubt has been in his mind for several years, and today he suddenly had a move to ask clearly.
"It's okay for you to train by yourself these few days. If you have anything to do, call your Uncle Xiaoyue."
"Then can I know what exactly you have been looking for all these years, Master?"
Tang Qi raised his hand and put a silver mask on his face, covering his young and immature face.
The air became quiet for a moment, the shadow of the branches stretched from his legs to his waist, and the person standing against the light finally spoke:
"It's just a private matter. Xiaoqi, just do your own thing well."
As soon as the words fell, the man jumped down and landed on the ground lightly like a fallen leaf:
"Why are you standing there? It's time to go back."
"……Oh."
The boy's slightly sullen voice came from the wind.
Obviously I just want to be closer to you.
Don't you feel lonely all the time?
Uncle Xiaoyue's previous words sounded in his ears at this moment:
———[Xiao Qi, you are a good boy. 】
———【If you have time, please spend more time with your master. 】
———[Whether it's training or watching the scenery, let's accompany him. 】
———[Always alone, looking carefree, and I don’t know what he’s thinking, I’m afraid he will go somewhere we don’t know one day. 】
———[Xiao Qi, please spend more time with him. 】
"Master, wait for me!"
The young man turned over and jumped down beautifully, with his toes hooked on the branches to borrow some strength, he swooped down at a faster speed.
The night is hazy, the first quarter moon hangs high in the night sky, the moonlight is bright but cold.
In Tangjiabao in the middle of Shu, someone was on the roof looking at the moon alone.
A figure that almost melted into the night, a handsome face with a clear outline, and deep brows with desolation that have been polished by time and worldly events.There is a deep darkness in a pair of eyes, which is darker than this night.
He stretched out his hand and looked at the things in his hand by the moonlight:
It was an exquisite silver ornament. Due to the passage of time, the appearance of the silver was no longer as shiny as it used to be. There were still some black traces between the engraved patterns, which were left after being infected by blood.
Just staring at the jewelry in his hand quietly like this, the night breeze brought a chill, and it didn't know how long it had passed.He raised his hand, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and gently kissed the silver jewelry.
[Even if the world forgets you, I will engrave you in my heart. 】
[Until death. 】
Qianhu Island, Changge Gate.
The sun was shining brightly, and it was another beautiful day.
The breeze is blowing, the lake water is slightly rippling, and the red koi are shuttling in the clear glass-like water.This should not be said to be a picturesque scenery, because it can be said to be an extremely beautiful painting.
Someone was standing on the bridge, dressed in spotless white clothes.A group of new young disciples laughed and walked across the bridge. Their faces were full of youthful vitality belonging to their age, and they seemed to have infinite vitality and hope.
Looking at this group of energetic children, the people on the bridge smiled inadvertently. The smile was so faint that there was almost no trace, but they could feel the emotion he expressed. It was a kind of gratifying gaze from the elders. .He never smiled, and when he was young, he always had a straight face. His junior brother Lin Che once teased him as "Immortal Zhu", saying that he should not stay in the human world.He didn't take it seriously, he and Lin Che had never been on the same side, and he didn't care about Lin Che's evaluation of him.
In their eyes, Lin Che and his like are representatives of frivolity.Because he doesn't fit Changge's character.
Maintaining a correct demeanor at all times and not showing too much expression can give people a stable and reliable impression.A gentle and polite smile is also fine, but he is not good at smiling, and he doesn't like to communicate with Yu Hui and make calculations.
So his aloof and indifferent image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
There's nothing wrong with that, that's just who he is.
Goodwill and some ideas don't need superficial efforts or words to package them.
But he forgot that if you don't express or say some feelings and ideas, the other party may never know.Just like if he failed to say something in time, he would never have a chance to say it.
Ah Qing never knew that he actually cared about her very much.
Yuyan also didn't know that he didn't ignore her, and he rarely saw her because he was afraid that she would reject her.Every night, he quietly watched her yard under the tree next to the corridor.
It seems that if you are within your sight, you can feel at ease.
Because Yuyan's fate is too rough.
Because I failed to fulfill my father's responsibility before, I wanted to make up for it more later, and I wanted to treat it more carefully. The more precious it was, the less I dared to get too close.This is a feeling similar to "feeling timid near the hometown".
He hoped that she could live her life peacefully and peacefully in Changge.
Yuyan looks a lot like Ah Qing, but she is not as flamboyant as Ah Qing.Yuyan is a child who knows how to be satisfied, she has never asked him for anything.This made him both relieved and somewhat disappointed. As a father, he wanted to give her the best.There is nothing wrong with pampering his daughter. Rather than being too obedient and silent, he hopes that she can make some demands on him.
It's okay for children to be a little willful once in a while.
【But Yuyan is no longer a child. 】
A familiar voice told him from the bottom of his heart that even if she had turned into a child, she was not a child.
In fact, it’s okay if you don’t want to learn the piano. If you feel that there is too much homework, you can reduce it.But she is too well-behaved and sensible. She has never been exposed to the culture of the Central Plains before, and she was asked to complete so many homework, but she didn't question anything and just completed it in silence.They are a father and daughter, more than respectful, not close enough.
Because of emotional timidity, he seldom talked to Yuyan, he completely entrusted her to Yuer, and only watched her secretly.In fact, he really wanted to have a good talk with Yuyan, just like an ordinary father and daughter, who can say anything.What's bothering her?What is there to be happy about?What do you want to know?You can tell him.
Thinking about it now, if he had taken that step boldly and taken the initiative to close the distance, would Yuyan have gotten closer to him?
Many people said that he looked too distant, presumably Yuyan saw him in the same way.Is he more like a cold and ruthless existence than a close father?
…………
"Is the master waiting for the master?"
A girl in Changge uniform held the piano and smiled brightly at the people on the bridge.
The people on the bridge were dressed in white clothes. He used to have a handsome face, his eyes were often covered with thin ice, and he always had an aloof appearance like the moon hanging in the sky.But the years have dyed his hair white, and carved marks on his face, the thin ice in his eyes gradually melted, and even the ice and snow hidden between his eyebrows were slowly worn away by time.
The once cold person has been slowly worn away by time, and has become what he is today.
Although he is still not very friendly, he is already a relatively peaceful elder in the eyes of many people.
"Yes."
He looked down at the girl under the bridge, his expression was not very friendly, but it was obviously softened.
"What did Zijin learn today?"
The tone he spoke was flat, but it seemed a bit peaceful, like an ordinary old man teasing a child here.
"Master taught us "Thousand Characters" and new tunes today!"
The little girl's eyes are shining, and her young face is full of pride and pride:
"Master, I will recite it to you!"
"Okay."
The people on the bridge nodded slightly, and the corners of their lips lifted a little, revealing a very faint smile.
"Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric. The sun and the moon are in full swing, and the days and nights are arranged. The cold comes and the summer goes, and the autumn harvests and winter hides. The leap is full of years, and the rhythm of the Lu is the sun. Kungang. The sword is called Juque, and the pearl is called night light. The fruit is precious and Li Nai, the vegetables are mustard and ginger. The sea is salty and the river is fresh, the scales are submerged and the feathers are soaring. To give way to the country, there is Yu Taotang..."
In the sound of the little girl's endorsement, a man in Tsing Yi came quietly.
He stood aside without making any sound.After the girl finished memorizing the book, he clapped his hands and praised with a smile:
"Zijin remembers it very well."
"Master!"
The girl turned around in surprise, and touched her hair in embarrassment.The man in Tsing Yi smiled at her, then patted her head and said:
"Zijin, you go back first."
The girl looked at the people on the bridge, then nodded and said goodbye politely.
After the girl left, the man in Tsing Yi turned to look at the people on the bridge, with a smile on his face again:
"Master."
There are gentle waves in the lake, and the petals blown into the water by the wind float gently with the waves.
There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. There is a pot of tea on a stone table in the pavilion. There are two people sitting beside the table, one in green clothes and the other in white clothes; one looks young and the other looks middle-aged.
"Yu'er, you will take office tomorrow, right? As a teacher, congratulations on your promotion."
After the war subsided, Qin Zhengyu entered the court, and he made a lot of contributions in the army as he traveled with the army in the troubled times. In addition, he himself knew how to behave in the world.He was just promoted a few days ago, and all preparations for taking over have been made, and he just waits until tomorrow to officially take office.
Qin Zhengyu smiled, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Zhu Chongxiao as usual, then toasted Zhu Chongxiao:
"Thank you, Master, for your many years of teaching."
Zhu Chongxiao shook his head, with a slight smile in his eyes:
"It's your own achievement."
He raised his teacup and took a sip, then turned his head to look at the wild geese flying by in the sky, and suddenly asked one thing:
"Yu'er, you are not young..."
He sighed slightly:
"Yuyan..."
He originally wanted to tell his disciples that there was no need to care about the marriage contract back then, but after the word "Yuyan" came out, it was difficult for him to say the following words.Fortunately, Qin Zhengyu knew him very well and understood what he said, so he immediately smiled reassuringly:
"Master, I understand the matter of my junior sister. After all, we lack fate. I sigh that fate never took pity on her."
He also raised his teacup to take a sip, lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes concealed the emotions in his eyes:
"As for getting married? This is a major event in life and needs to be done carefully. If there is a suitable candidate, I will tell Master."
He put down his teacup, and smiled at Zhu Chongxiao, as gentle and elegant as ever, with a feeling of deep meaning as if he had been in court.
The author has something to say:
Nearly 5000 words, take a vaccination first, Brother Qin will get married, and he will love his wife very much.
Now compared to the Pao brother in Chapter 1, has he changed a lot now? 2333 Zhu Chongxiao is also ╮(‵▽′)╭
