The guard was shocked and said hurriedly: "Who are you so bold? How dare you break into the palace!"
Han Cangyu's lips raised a faint smile, and then said: "Don't panic, this man is very skilled in martial arts, and no one can stop him from entering and leaving the palace. After many years of not seeing him, he is finally back. It turns out that an old friend is visiting today. It’s that monk.”
The guards were still wary, and in just a moment, the monk in white had already appeared in front of them.
He was dressed in white clothes, facing the clear breeze and bright moonlight. He saluted Han Cangyu and said, "I am here to see His Majesty King Hao!"
Han Cangyu looked at Monk Guyuan, who had never aged, just as he had when he first saw him. This legendary demon monk would indeed never grow old.
He sighed: "Master is still as young as he was then, with no change at all! It's a pity that I am old. Mortals are really pathetic. No matter how many achievements they have in life, they still cannot live as long as gods, Buddhas, demons and demons."
Gu Yuan said: "No matter how long your life is, you will have to leave one day. Sometimes, living happily for one year according to your own heart is far better than living ten years on earth."
Han Cangyu suddenly remembered that Mo Xuelia had said similar words to him. He smiled and said, "Live happily? How many people in this world can live happily?"
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, turned his hands to protect his sleeves, and raised a wisp of snowflakes. The long wind rises with the thought, and disappears with the hands.
Han Cangyu said: "Every time Master appears in Hao Kingdom, something big will happen in Hao Kingdom. I remember the last time you came to Hao Kingdom and took away Princess Fengzhao. This time, I wonder why Master came here?"
Gu Yuan said: "Princess Fengzhao saved my life back then. The princess was kind to me. I promised to do something for her, so I fulfilled my promise and took her away from Hao Kingdom. But this time I came here King Hao, because I calculated that your life, King Hao, will be over today, I will give you something for one person!"
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said angrily: "How dare you curse my king to death?"
However, Han Cangyu was calm in his heart. He stretched out his hand to stop the guard and said, "Master Gu Yuan is an eminent monk. His cultivation level is much higher than that of the national master. His calculations are not wrong. Xiaohu, today I The time is coming, please go to the East Palace for me and let the prince come to see me!"
The guard knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay. He immediately nodded and bowed and retreated.
There was no trace of fear of death in Han Cangyu's old eyes. He seemed like a careless dead tree, staring at Gu Yuan, asking: "Who is he? What do you want the master to give me?"
He knew that Gu Yuan had a special status, and the person who could please him must be extraordinary.
Gu Yuan took out a maroon brocade box and handed it to him.
The moment Han Cangyu opened the brocade box, he felt like the world was spinning.
What was placed on it was Mo Xuelia's red agate bracelet. There was a trace of human blood soaked in the cracks of the agate bracelet. Because this human blood had already penetrated into the cracks of the bracelet, it turned particularly bright red over the years. Eye-catching.
Gu Yuan said: "Empress Mo asked me to deliver this to your Majesty on your behalf!"
"What did you say? Xueli asked you to hand it over to me? Where is she? Where is Xueli? Master, I beg you, please take me to see her, okay?"
Seeing Gu Yuan was silent.
Han Cangyu slowly shed a tear from his left eye. His voice trembled and he said with difficulty: "I'm almost dead. Could it be that she still... can't forgive me? Can't she... come and see me?"
Gu Yuan let out a long sigh, then turned to look at the silent white snow in the sky, and said in a calm voice: "That day, after she separated from you, she vomited blood not long after she was riding her horse, and she fell off the horse. She has never been able to get out of this Hao country that has trapped her all her life. She left her feelings here, and in the end, she also left her bones here..."
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Han Cangyu, who had tears in his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, in the past thirty-one years, Queen Mo has never left you. Her love for you will end with you."
Han Cangyu couldn't believe it, holding the coral bracelet with trembling hands, and said excitedly: "What did you say? You said Xueli is dead? She died on the day we parted? How could it be possible?
? How can it be--"
He roared angrily, knelt on his knees, and buried the coral bracelet deeply into his heart, trying to warm the cold bracelet with his own body temperature.
Gu Yuan sighed:
"Queen Mo was poisoned by Youjicao during her lifetime. Even if it is completely eliminated, she cannot get angry within half a year, otherwise it will hurt her heart and her internal organs. I wanted to save her life at that time, but it was already too late. It’s too late, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
"She asked me to give you this agate bracelet, and she also gave her many instructions to give it to you when you die. She doesn't want you to be worried about it and live a life of guilt. She wants you to use King Hao's gift to give it to you. Identity, create your world, and become a king loved by the people."
"She hopes that your roc will rise with the wind one day and soar to ninety thousand miles! Nothing in the world can stop you from soaring around the world. Empress Mo said, if you still think about her in the end, then treat this coral bracelet as her , let it be buried with you in the coffin! This way, you won’t be alone anymore!”
Han Cangyu was frightened and filled with sorrow in his heart. He trembled and wailed: "You said I could act, but in the end you acted better than me! Ah - Xueli! My wife, my queen! You have saved me in this life. Me, protect me, but what have I done for you? What have I done—"
Han Cangyu hugged the cold white snow on the ground tightly with both hands, as if hugging the little warmth Mo Xuelia had left in the world.
You buried your bones in the mud under the spring, but I sent them to the world with a head full of snow.
In the vast white world, no one responded to him tenderly, and she would never enter his dream with a smile as bright as a flower.
Han Cangyu's heart surged, he raised his head and spat out a mouthful of old blood, and fell into the snow.
The bright red blood soaked into the coral bracelet and merged with Mo Xueli's blood. From then on, life and death were intertwined, souls and dreams were intertwined, and they were never separated.
As Gu Yuan said, King Hao Cangyu couldn't survive that day. He used the last bit of strength in the rest of his life to confess everything.
Concubine Lan and other concubines knelt outside the door, while the prince knelt in the palace, waiting for the old man behind the bed curtain to speak.
Han Cangyu lay on the bed, breathing weakly and said: "Prince, I only have one heir like you in my life. I don't want everything I have experienced to happen to you again. In the future, this Hao Kingdom will be yours. You must govern them well." , remember what your father teaches you every day!"
"Father - don't say that, I believe you can get better! You are just tired. You will get better after a few days of rest..."
Han Cangyu breathed hard and said: "Ahem... Master Gu Yuan can't be wrong. In fact, death is also a kind of relief for me. I'm tired, you go down..."
"Father..."
The prince left crying. That night, the Haoguo palace stayed up all night, and everyone was busy.
At midnight, Han Cangyu was lying on the bed alone. In a daze, he felt a figure in white walking towards him.
The man had a graceful figure and was wearing a white cloak. The brim of the white cloak was pushed down so low that his appearance could not be seen clearly, but the corners of his gentle lips seemed to be moistened with ink.
Han Cangyu was shocked and wanted to struggle to get up, but he had no strength at all. He raised his right hand with force, and there was a bright red agate bracelet on that withered hand. It was the agate bracelet she left to him, and it was the one he wanted to take with him to the grave.
With this agate bracelet, he can share the same quilt and coffin with Queen Mo, whom he has missed all his life.
The woman stretched out a jade-white wrist and gently opened the dim bed curtain.
The wind blows and the shadows of the flowers move, and it is suspected that a beautiful woman is coming - Xueli, is it you?
Hao Wang Cangyu died without illness at the age of sixty-one.
According to his last wish, he was buried with Queen Mo.
The common people observed his farewell in a long street of silence, and spontaneously presented three-generation soul-calling flags to their beloved king, leading the flags to call for souls, leading people across the bridge, reciting treasured confessions, and saving the souls of the dead.
One protects him from the underworld, one protects him from the afterlife, and the other protects him from the afterlife.
The hundred-mile long street was filled with falling snow, and the mourners mourned. …
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he took out a silver butterfly bracelet from his white sleeves and hung it gently.
On top of the green bamboo. ap.
Yingshu looked at the butterfly bracelet and asked in a low voice: "When I saw you lonely under the moon, I would occasionally take out this butterfly bracelet and look at it carefully. It seems that the owner of this butterfly bracelet is the person who is in your heart and soul. , I have always wanted to ask you, before you met me, was there ever a woman who made your heart flutter, Master?"
Gu Yuan was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up and raised by an old monk in Yue Chan Temple. He rarely left Yue Chan Temple. If he had not been bitten by the snake demon, he might have lived in Yue Chan Temple all his life.
Not to mention there will be no chance for thoughts to come up and turn around a thousand times.
Gu Yuan doesn’t know the ways of the world, nor does he know love in the world, let alone what it feels like to fall in love with someone? Until he met that woman, that woman who made his heart beat so much that he couldn't get her out of his heart even if he read the scriptures a hundred times.
Gu Yuan sighed and said helplessly:
"If I had known that it would be such a trap for people, why would I not have known each other before? Yingshu, do you know that between the mountains and rivers, in the place of clouds and dreams, when the heart has nothing to rely on, that is the most terrifying thing in the world! I really miss that person in the past. , occupied my whole heart, and now she is just a passing cloud..."
"How ridiculous! It only took me one night to see through life and death, but it took me half my life to see through love. In this world, no one is unjust, and all sentient beings are evil. Flowers fade, the tide comes and goes, the moon waxes and wanes. , people gather and people disperse... this is the normal state of life."
Yingshu watched Gu Yuan turn around after speaking. The lonely back looked so sad. She could only sigh helplessly, but she didn't know who was the woman who had troubled him so much?
She looked back at the butterfly bracelet hanging on the bamboo branch. The bracelet swayed gently in the wind, and the bell on it made a small sound, as if it was an innocent woman dancing.
