Guangling City.
Peach Blossom Island.
Liang Manman walked slowly among the peach trees with a pear blossom expression on her face.
On Peach Blossom Island in June, the peach blossoms have long since withered, and the peach trees have already produced many fruits.
There was no such fruit in her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with sadness.
She walked into Tinglan Water Pavilion.
Sitting in front of a piano.
She stretched out her jade hand and gently placed it on the piano.
Qin is a famous Qin.
The name of the piano is confusing.
She brewed for three breaths, her fingers danced like butterflies, and then there was a faint sound of the piano.
Then, a sad song began:
"The tip of the pen sweeps away the clouds of infatuation, and the singing awakens the spring.
Flower baskets arrange wine bottles.
Begonia wind letter, Ming Dynasty blowing dust on the street.
Once from the pommel horse to the west and east, several quilt pillows were hazy,
Fortunately, I came to you in a dream. "
"It's like fighting without a dream, we really met each other at that time.
Who loves to listen to the piano through the window?
The person who leans against the curtain is a close friend, one word from that time to this day.
This time I highly recommend you, and I will reward you with a phoenix pillow and a mandarin duck quilt. "
"The orioles and swallows are spring and spring, the flowers and willows are real,
Everything is charming and charming,
Delicate and tender, she can act like everyone. "
The sound of the piano is ringing.
The desolate song lingered and echoed in the wind.
That is three parts sadness, three parts obsession, and four parts longing.
Then, a Huilan plant outside Tinglan Waterside Pavilion suddenly bloomed, which surprised Wen Xiaowan and Cuihua who were standing next to the Huilan plant.
Wen Xiaowan sighed, infinitely sad.
"When I first heard this song, I just thought it was gentle and bright."
"When you hear this song again, you will realize that the obsession is heartbreaking."
Cuihua didn't understand. She only felt that the sound of the piano and the singing made her feel desolate.
"Put your love on the harp, your love and the harp are as compatible as water and milk, maybe you can use the harp to enter the Tao."
This sentence was not said by Wen Xiaowan, but by an old woman who happened to float over.
She has gray hair, but her face is red, giving her the look of a child with white hair.
Wen Xiaowan took one look and quickly prostrated:
"Hello, Mr. Dongfang!"
Her name is Dongfanghong!
She is the headmaster of Songshan Sword Academy!
The senior sister of Grand Master Fan Taohua!
She has not left the mountain for more than twenty years.
This time she went down the mountain and came to Peach Blossom Island. She took Murong He with her and stayed on Peach Blossom Island for five days.
"Get up, don't be so raw, go see Miss Manman."
A group of people walked into Tinglan Waterside Pavilion.
This is Dongfanghong's first time walking into this waterside pavilion after five days in Peach Blossom Island.
She stood in the waterside pavilion. Liang Manman had woken up from the piano and rushed over to greet her. She saw Dongfang Hong looking at the place, slightly absent-minded.
"Junior has met Mr. Dongfang."
Liang Manman said a long blessing, Dongfang Hong stretched out her hand to help her and walked to the piano.
She looked at the piano carefully, and after a moment, she stretched out a hand, landed on the strings, and fiddled with it casually, and then there was a clear sound.
Like the tinkling sound of spring water.
Like beads falling on a jade plate.
Liang Manman was startled and looked up at Dongfanghong. Dongfanghong had retracted her hand and walked towards the antique tea table in the lingering sound.
She sat in front of the tea table and reached out to touch the tea table before looking up at Liang Manman and others.
"Everyone, take a seat."
Liang Manman and Wen Xiaowan sat aside.
She took the huozhezi, lit the tea stove and brewed a pot of tea, but a strange feeling arose in her heart——
Mr. Dongfang seems to be more like the owner of Peach Blossom Island.
She came from Songshan Sword Academy, stood in front of the Shang family's grave for two days, and spent another three days walking through every place on Peach Blossom Island.
She came to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion. She seemed to know the piano and the tea table.
Of course Liang Manman didn't ask, Dongfang Hong started talking:
"Since Peach Blossom Island is going to become a martial arts sect, then just like Li Chenan said, let it become a martial arts sect famous all over the world."
"I like it very much here..."
Dongfang Hong suddenly turned to look at Murong He, stretched out a hand and said one word: "Smoke!"
Murong He quickly took out a pipe from his bag and handed it to Dongfang Hong respectfully.
This is a copper pipe.
The cigarette holder is made of walnut wood and the smoking pot is made of rhino horn.
A very old dark green pouch hangs near the pipe, and a lotus flower can still be vaguely embroidered on the pouch.
Dongfang Hong took out a handful of shredded tobacco from the pouch and filled it into the pot. Murong He lit the huozhezi and went over.
Dongfang Hong took a deep breath, and as the shredded tobacco in the pot flickered, she slowly exhaled a large cloud of smoke.
"Next, nine disciples from Songshan Sword Academy will come here. They are the Nine Pines of Songshan. From then on, they will be the disciples of Peach Blossom Island."
Dongfanghong took another puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and said:
"But I can't stay on Peach Blossom Island, so the power of Peach Blossom Island is still a little weak, so I invited some more people..."
"Such as Sikong Bao, Monk Misery, etc."
"Invite them to come to Peach Blossom Island to be elders and protect the safety of Peach Blossom Island."
Liang Manman was shocked. These people were all very famous masters in the world. Would they willingly come to Peach Blossom Island to become elders?
"You play the piano very well, but it's a pity that you are missing a piano sheet."
"I'll take a trip to Tianyin Pavilion and see if I can borrow the "Tianmo Qinyin". You may be able to understand a thing or two."
"As for Li Chenan, since he is dead...just forget about it."
"Or maybe keep it in your heart."
Liang Manman poured a cup of tea for Dongfanghong.
She smoked a cigarette and sipped tea. She only drank a small part of a cup of tea, and it seemed that it no longer had the same taste as before. She put down the tea cup and stood up slowly.
"It's great to be young!"
"You can love unscrupulously, or you can feel pain with a knife in your heart."
"It's not like a dying person like me... I don't know how to taste love, and I don't know how to feel pain. Only this smoke makes me pass my life in a blur."
She walked towards the door and said again:
"I've loved and suffered, and it's enough to know what it feels like. Thinking too much hurts your mind, and remembering him too much... You are not the Buddha. After all, you will never be able to remember him."
Liang Manman stood up and bowed to Dongfang Hong's back:
"Junior knows."
Wisps of smoke drifted over, and Dongfang Hong had left.
She drifted away.
We went to Fan Taohua’s grave in Peach Blossom Mountain.
She looked at the tomb for a moment and then simply sat down.
She took out the pipe from her waist and lit it, then looked at the grave and smoked one puff at a time.
"Junior sister!"
"You know, senior sister, I have already sworn not to leave the world in this life."
"But you died."
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to die peacefully? Why did you write that letter to Senior Sister?"
"A trip to Shuzhou will make me, senior sister, very tired!"
"Li Chenan is your grandson-in-law... He is also Xi Wei's son-in-law. Aren't you a generation higher than Xi Wei?"
"I didn't expect Xi Wei and Xiao Mantou to have an affair, but that little girl is more powerful."
"Old Niu, it's true that he still likes to eat young grass."
"But it's okay, at least he still has a wife."
"gone!"
Dongfanghong stood up from the ground and knocked the ashes from the tobacco pot in front of the grave.
"I can't go see the guy from your house, he'll reveal his secrets. I have to go find Xi Wei... He actually went to the Kingdom of Wu..."
"This old guy has nothing to gain. He ran away to the Kingdom of Wu. Do you think...your grandson-in-law, will he still be alive?"
