The Dream of Jade Mountain

Chapter 11 Kunlun

Kunlun is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the vast expanse is white. Only the southern foot of the mountain receives warm wind and rain. The dense forest winds and flows, and in the depths of the forest, when the peaks turn around and the cliffs are steep, there will be strands of white waterfalls falling down, which is really a good scene that outsiders can't see.

Unlike her elder brother, Huanxin has memories of the origin of the fairy world. She was born and raised here, and Kunlun is her hometown. The birds plundering the forest at the southern foot and the animals playing with each other are her childhood memories.The place where she lives is not in the Yuntian Palace on the top of Kunlun Mountain, nor in the low valleys of the plain where flowers and trees are flourishing, but a cave dug out of the cliff, because it follows the undulating trend of the southern foot mountains, and she can see it from the window. Going, you can see the continuous green forests in the mountain streams and the beautiful greenery at the bottom of the valley.There are several courtyards in the middle of the cave. There are no carved beams and painted buildings, but flowers and trees, which are elegant and open.

In the innermost cave, only Huanxin's personal servant girl can enter. Huanxin is leaning against the window, looking at the beautiful scenery at the southern foot of the window. The gauze flutters, a colorful sash around the waist flutters with the wind, and the tassels reflect the brilliance of the setting sun, which is really beautiful.Compared with Huanxin, who is only dressed in plain white clothes in the outside world, this attire can only tell the breath of a girl in her prime.

The maid Zhu'er knocked on the door and brought tea in, seeing that the master was in a good mood today, she looked up at the wall of the cave, and it was already colorful and shining, Zhu'er put down the tea with a smile, and approached Huan Xinshen Then he patted his shoulder lightly, "Girl is really in a rare good mood today. Looking at the cave wall, this crystal rock piece touched your heart. It is so colorful and beautiful, and the ground is full of brilliance. Could it be that someone read , someone is coming up the mountain." Saying this, she burst out laughing, Huanxin usually treats Zhu'er like a sister, and Zhu'er is used to fighting with her, Huanxin likes the crystal rock wall of this cave but can change the color at will, She often pretends to be happy and annoyed to see the colorful and changing rock texture, and she doesn't avoid Zhu'er, but today Zhu'er sees her sincerity and tells her, her face turns red, and she raises her hand as if to hit her.Pearl's eyes were sharp, and she avoided her body and escaped. The two of them chased around a sandalwood table in the middle, and after a while, Pearl stopped, panting, and leaned against the crystal rock, panting and said: "Girl, please forgive me, but I can't run anymore." Huanxin was also exhausted, and she drank the tea on the table. If I wanted to train her, I first picked and trained myself, and the face of Huanxin who said it straight down softened, and then she looked straight at Huanxin and said: "I know what the girl is thinking, but the girl is used to being proud, you With such intentions, I expected that you never showed it at all, how could that person know. Although with the girl's talent and appearance, no one would like you, but with your cold temperament, anyone would shy away. Well, if the girl really has this heart, let me tell you, she can't be so indifferent. The girl is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, but other than the people in Kunlun Mountain, no one else can see it..." What else to say, I feel I didn't think it through, and I couldn't say anything for a while, so I looked at Huanxin with bright black eyes, but I was absolutely speechless, it was all written in my eyes.

Huanxin saw Zhu'er in this state, and without saying a word, he pulled her up, Zhu'er glanced at the crystal rock, saw that it was icy, and knew that she had lost her mind again, and didn't want to show it, so she didn't dare to mention it again, And accompanied Huanxin to talk about the gossip in various places for a while.

Two days later, the Queen Mother of Kunlun's birthday banquet was approaching, and Huanfeng and Huanxin were preparing for the birthday banquet. They heard the report from the servants, and the Nether King came to Kunlun Mountain soon.Huanfeng smiled when he heard this, and posted a post to invite him that day. Although he readily agreed, he has always disliked lively occasions. He thought he might find a reason to shirk later, but unexpectedly, he actually came.Huanxin looked at the greeting card of King Youming, and suddenly there was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes. Huanfeng didn't pay attention, and just jokingly said, "The marriage of the two families has been talked about for a long time, and now I am guarding my sister for a day It’s just one day, I won’t be able to see it in the future.” As he spoke, he took Huanxin’s shoulder and patted it lightly, Huanxin pushed his hand away, turned his head and stared at him, Huanfeng apologized and said with a smile: “Okay, okay Yes, you and I both know that the marriage is just a strategy, don't worry, you will definitely find a girl who will satisfy you in the future, but the name of the marriage has made you stand up for so long, and I have wronged you."

The Youming King read the promise to Mingxiu, let Mingdie send the letter early, and then got up and went to Kunlun. The group traveled mightily to the Kunlun boundary, and they were welcomed by the door servants who knew people, and worshiped at Yuntian Palace. The Queen Mother of Kunlun presented congratulatory gifts, exchanged bows with Huanfeng Huanxin for a while, and then was settled in a wing room in the valley behind Yuntian Palace.

This valley can be regarded as the back garden of Yuntian Palace. Queen Mother of Kunlun had a good relationship with Tiannv Xuanyin when she was in the fairyland, but she has been away from the fairyland for many years, so she no longer has such a confidant and friend in terms of rhythm, so the fantasy wind is in the place of King Nether. The words of invitation were not just excuses, but really intended to comfort the Queen Mother.

Qianyin is bound by Xiansuo at the wrist, ordinary people can't see it at all, only when the wrist is playing the piano, the silver thread shines on the wrist, so it will be revealed.He came with Huanfeng and lived here as a guest, but he often played the Tianyin Pavilion piano score with the Queen Mother of Kunlun in the back garden. Without saying a word, the nightmare seemed to be willing to get close to Qianyin, often licking Qianyin's wrist.Every time Qianyin's wrist was touched by a nightmare, he felt a loosening of the wrist, as if the fairy rope was not so tight, but since then, some fragments suddenly appeared in his mind, bamboo forest, lake water, lotus leaves, etc. ...clear as a touch, but gone like lightning.Qian Yin caressed the nightmare in his hand, and the divine beast raised its head, its eyes seemed to be full of smiles, Qian Yin felt joyful and lost at the same time.

On the eve of his birthday, King Youming was preparing to rest in his room, but he heard a light knock on the door, and without waiting for an answer, someone came in with a lantern, turned around and slowly closed the door, and lifted the hood of his cloak. The face as bright as the moon is actually an illusion.

"Please don't be offended, King Youming. If I stay outside the door for too long, I will attract people's attention." After saying that, he smiled apologetically. King Youming had never seen her smile before, his eyes froze, and he said with a casual smile: "Sister Huanxin came here so late, she must have something important to do, so you might as well just say it."

Huanxin put the lantern on and untied the cloak. Although she was dressed in plain color, the skirt had the shallow pattern of white butterflies wearing flowers, tied with a blue wishful ribbon, and the crescent moon pearl hairpin was exposed on the black bun. Elegant and unparalleled, he picked up the teacup and smiled lightly, feeling even more glamorous and moving.Huan Xin held up the teacup and said: "I came to bother you this time to clarify my intentions." Hearing this, King Youming didn't know what she meant.

Huanxin went on to say: "Huanxin has lived in Kunlun Mountain for a long time. Although he traveled around with his elder brother when he was young, but when he saw the Nether King in the Netherland, he still admired the Nether King's magnificent beauty. He has never forgotten it. Everyone knows that Kunlun Nether and the Nether The family has a marriage alliance. But I think that even if people in the world think this alliance is gold and jade, if they don’t realize it, gold and jade are just appearances. When Illusory Heart was in the Nether Realm, I observed it for a long time, and I only felt that the Nether King seemed to have something in his heart. So, the marriage is originally the elder brother's intention, and Huanxin will not force others to make things difficult. In the future, if the Nether King has someone he admires, and Huanxi wishes to fulfill a good deed, the Nether King must not be troubled by the marriage. On my brother's side, I will Will talk to him."

King Youming would never have thought that Huanxin would run to say such words in the middle of the night, let alone that Huanxin would see his thoughts, and said calmly: "It is my great fortune to be able to form an alliance with Kunlun. It’s hard to say what a strong man is.”

"If I say that I already have someone else in my heart, what should the Nether King do?"

Hearing her words, King Nether was startled, could it be that Huanxin couldn't bear the burden of this marriage, so he explained his feelings first, and looked at her eyes, which were full of sincerity, and only said: "If the girl already has someone in mind, Yuan will be very sorry." When he said these words, Huanxin stared closely at his eyes until he finished speaking.

Huanxin paused for a moment, his eyes blurred, and suddenly he smiled and said, "Thank you for your words." Then he got up.

The Nether King sent her out, only to see that black cloak piercing through the courtyard gate, hidden in the vast night.

Huanxin walked out of the Nether King's line of sight, walked through several corridors, passed a courtyard water pavilion, walked to the door of a study room, pushed the door and walked in.Huanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, seeing her coming in, he asked eagerly, "How?"

Huanxin said, "As my brother expected, I lied to him that I already belonged to him. At that moment, I looked into his eyes and read his thoughts with the mirror heart spell. When I was sincere, there was no regret. None."

"Can you read who he is thinking?"

"Afraid of being discovered by him, I only cast the spell for a while and then took it back."

Huanfeng pondered for a while, "It's rare for people in the world to say that they don't have a little heart for my sister, but you didn't even read his regrets, so it can be seen... If the rumor about the piano house before is true, this time it can't be true. Follow him again!"

Huanxin said softly beside him: "Only my elder brother values ​​me so much, how can Huanxin have that ability."

On the way back to the cave, Huanxin thought about what her brother hadn't said. It can be seen, it can be seen that from the very beginning, he has never paid attention to it. What she didn't tell her brother was that at the moment of the Mirror Heart Curse, she read the words in the mind of King Nether. The three characters in it are Bixiao Palace.Elder brother guessed right, from the very beginning, he didn't take it to heart, originally marriage is just a rhetoric, who would give his sincerity to a rhetoric, besides, we only met a few times, and it is really a peerless beauty, it is unforgettable Forget, it's just a lie.After thinking about it, the corner of his mouth curved.

When he reached the gate of the cave, he opened the door and walked in, taking a sip of herbal tea to suppress the inexhaustible emotions in his heart.Holding the Linghua mirror, it is clear that the mirror is graceful and beautiful.Looking at the crystal rock wall again, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but he still saw thin streams of water covering the rock flakes. In a rage, Huanxin threw the teacup at the rock flakes and smashed them to pieces, even though he had convinced himself in his mind, But he was still clearly photographed by the crystal rock, and the tears in his heart flowed like rivers to hide from others and from himself, but at this moment, he was stripped out by this mirror, and there was no way to avoid it. "What do you want me to do? You see my heart so clearly that you don't even leave me a corner to comfort myself? From the very beginning, he has no interest in me. He only has the word Bixiao Palace in his heart. What do you want? How can I do it?!" The crystal rock wall is even more winding, out of control.I imagined a piece of Xiang-colored silk cloth to cover all the crystal rock slices, opened the window, and the clothes fluttered in the cool wind, and the night was silent.

The next day was the Queen Mother of Kunlun's grand banquet. Yuntian Palace was bustling with guests, and Qianyin sat in an inconspicuous corner. Even when the feast was in full swing, he only played two songs behind the gauze curtain, and then retreated to the next one. .Nether King sat at the head, no matter where the latent sound was, he was always hanging out of the corner of his eyes, all these scenes were watched by Huanfeng and Huanxin.At some point, the nightmare slipped away from Huanxin again, and licked his wrist beside Qianyin, Qianyin looked at the beast and joked: "Are you going to help me untie the fairy rope? "But he lost his mind for a moment, as if he was in a lotus pond in a bamboo forest.After he calmed down, there was still a banquet in front of his eyes, and the jokes of the guests were still in his ears, and the nightmare had already left.

It will be late after a feast.After the banquet, King Nether wanted to bring the man back overnight, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.Seeing the opportunity, he whispered to Qianyin: "Shangxian still remembers about Qingmingzhu. Since I came this time, I want to take you back, so that I can live up to the kindness of a teacher." Youming King never took Mingxiu's jade. When he came out, he just wanted to keep it for himself, thinking that he owed Qianyin a Qingming Pearl, and if there was any critical situation in the future, it would not be too late to take out the jade from Bixiao Palace.

Qian Yin has never thought about King Nether, so far, he has spoken with certainty, and never doubted him in his heart, but was moved and ashamed a little more.

Huanfeng saw that the guests had just left, and King Youming brought someone to say goodbye. He was angry, and thinking of his own sister, he became even more furious. Although he never smiled, he politely persuaded him to stay. Let them stay for a few more days, after a lot of deliberation, they decided to leave in two days.

At night, there is silence everywhere, the lights in the submerged room have not been turned off, only thinking about the nightmare beast, stretching out his hand to try to untie the immortal rope, but nothing is loose, and he feels that there seems to be something else under the silver circle. Pain, just about to stretch out his fingers to explore, suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.Asked who was at the door, and answered, Yuan Jiuya, and stepped in.

Youming King was dressed in black clothes and no decorations, no longer graceful, but he blew out the candles first, and said with his hand in the voice: "This place is not suitable for staying for a long time, so I sent my followers to leave Kunlun at the end of the banquet. You and I, let’s go back to Nether Realm first, and then from Nether River to Tianhe, and you can return to Bixiao Palace from Tianhe.” Qian Yin was stunned, “Why do you want to go back to Bixiao Palace?” The King of Nether just said He wanted to hand him back to Mingxiu, and Mingxiu must be there to meet him, because he just said the word Bixiaogong, and he didn't think that Qianyin was actually from Zhaowen Palace, so it would be inconvenient to tell him about the Wuyu platform. After one incident, he said: "Well, Lingxiao Palace, Lingxiao Palace in the fairy world, the place where the battle started, is also the place where you return."

Qianyin asked: "How to untie the rope that binds the immortal?"

In fact, what troubled him for so long was nothing more than the rope. Although he was imprisoned first, he was treated as a guest later. On the long road of Tianhe, as long as you untie the immortal rope and recover for two days, why is it so troublesome.

A silver thread on the wrist is also shining in the night, clearly visible.The King of Youming thought about how many times he had deceived him. The Qingming Pearl stayed in the Nether Realm well, and it was just a lie that day. How could Kunlun covet the Qingming Pearl? Ten thousand thoughts abounded in my heart, and I couldn't help stroking the silver thread that bound the fairy rope.Qian Yin suddenly took a breath, this touch turned out to be a pain in the wrist, which went straight to the heart.Seeing that his complexion was not right, King Nether thought it was because the silver thread was too tight, so he pulled him and said, "Let's go, Huanfeng's thoughts are changeable, I am sure he will have other thoughts at dawn, when the time comes, think about Kunlun." It can’t anymore. You don’t have to worry about binding the immortal cable, it was originally made by the merman’s silk in the Nether River, and the merman’s blood can break its seal.” The two had been in the dark for a while, and at this moment there was a glimmer of light. No, but through the night light, they can see each other's faces clearly. The two are trapped in this embarrassing situation, living in another place, they are worried about Huanfeng's mind turning, and there is no one to help, suddenly feel that the distance is getting closer, he looks at him He is no longer the Nether King, and he is no longer a person from the fairy world.But it's just that at this moment, each has his own thoughts, and he is the only one who can help each other.

Nether King's words are in his heart, and his eyes are also very clear. Qianyin accepted all the doubts, didn't say much, just followed him and left.

There is an enchantment around the Yuntian Palace, like the Nether King Yun Yunfeng, who must be discovered by Kunlun, so he had to follow the way he came, and walk through the corridors and courtyards with great care. Now Kunlun is still full of jubilation with red lights and red silk, and the night guards are not as vigilant as usual.

After passing a water pavilion, exiting the front verandah vermilion lacquer corner door, you will exit the enchantment of Yuntian Palace. The Nether King held the hand of Qianyin, ready to cross the wall with ease, and reach the ridge of the wall, looking at the palace lights outside The splendor, the trees cover the vastness, and I can't help but relax a little.It can be seen clearly that there is no one outside the wall, and it gently falls to the ground.

At this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from next to my ear, "The Nether King is so fast, I thought it would take Yinshi to see the two of you, but I didn't expect that you would have already arrived after Yinshi." The voice surrounded There was no one in their ears, and the two groaned inwardly. They saw that there was no palace stretching in front of them, and the forests and trees were clearly falling into a formation. Huanfeng raised the torch and brought people and horses to stand in front. When he was about to pass, the front was blocked by mountain barriers, and the laughter of Kunlun Mountain monsters was everywhere. The formation of Kunlun Mountain is by no means the ordinary Fuxi formation. The door is enough, but it borrows the ice mirror from Kunlun Mountain, the illusion is intertwined, and the twists and turns are indistinguishable. If you use your eyes to distinguish, you will never be able to get out of this formation, and you will be tortured to death.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of this formation." Nether King did not forget to appease Qian Yin.Qian Yin said: "The Nether King's magical power is profound, but you and I have never seen this formation before. Since we can't get out of it for a while, why not sit down and think of a way to talk about it." The hidden voice is appeasing the Nether King.

Qianyin is really tired, escaped from Yuntian Palace with the strength of a mortal, and touched the heartache of Fu Xiansuo, which has not dissipated for a long time, and now he is already sweating. I really have no strength.The Nether King saw his expression and knew the reason for his weakness, so he had no choice but to rely on him. The two sat back to back, quietly watching the changes in the barrier in front of them, trying to find some patterns.

Qian Yin was really tired, and the barrier was glowing with snow, which made people dazzled. He couldn't lift his eyes slowly, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while. After a while, he gently tapped the shoulder behind him, "Did you hear anything? The shape of this barrier is changing, don't look at it, it will only dazzle your eyes. Listen carefully to the sound of the wind passing through the barrier, that is the real The barrier advances and retreats, and only by following it can we get out."

"Wind sound?" Nether King couldn't help wondering.

Qian Yin smiled and said, "Fortunately, Fu Xiansuo didn't take away my ability to listen to the wind and discern the way. You follow me and follow me out." After that, the figure moved and turned sharply in the barrier, and the Nether King followed him Behind him, the mountain barrier rushing toward him seemed to be overwhelmed at full speed, and he dared not hesitate for a moment.

"Take my hand, close your eyes, and don't look around." Qian Yin said softly. "The road behind is very fast, and the obstacles are like flying. If you see it, you will definitely block it. If you touch it, you will trigger other mechanisms, and the road will be more tortuous."

The Nether King had no other choice at this time, not to mention he didn't dare to touch his wrist, he only held his sleeves, followed his pace and passed through the mountain barriers. After about a stick of incense, the two had come to a Empty courtyard.The courtyard, pavilions and pavilions are so quiet, it looks like an ordinary mansion, nothing unusual can be seen.

Qian Yin looked at the yard and said: "If I guess correctly, this is the end of the formation, but you see, the verandahs are connected continuously, not cut off by the moon gate at all, it is an image of rings and rings."

Yuan Jiuya said, "There is no cut-off, no gap, that is to say, in this place, it is impossible to use the method of listening to the wind to distinguish the way."

Qian Yin nodded, "There must be a door, but we can't see it. If you go out of the door, you should be out of the battle. Huanfeng and the others are waiting outside the battle."

The latent voice passed through the heavy mountain barrier, and the strength was almost exhausted. He sat down on the stone bench under the peach tree in the middle of the courtyard, "The Nether King allows me to rest for a while." While speaking, sweat covered his forehead, his breath fluctuated, After a while, he simply fell on the stone table and stopped talking.

King Nether looked at Qianyin's sleeping face, but felt so familiar, but couldn't remember it, so he put on a mask to protect him, and went to find the mechanism by himself.

This courtyard is not too big, King Nether searched inside and out for a long time, even looked at the Taihu Lake stones in the water, but couldn't see what happened, so he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.Back under the peach tree, Qianyin has already woken up, seeing his behavior, he knows a thing or two.The Nether King only held a Taihu Lake stone full of holes, and said, "I even looked at the bottom of the lake, there is really no way out."

Qianyin smiled helplessly, at this time his physical strength had recovered a bit, and his face had some color. He took the Taihu Stone from the hand of King Nether to look at it, counted the holes on the stone, and suddenly put it on his lips. It makes a sound similar to Xun, low and elegant.Blowing and blowing, suddenly Subaru frowned, his eyes shone brightly, he went to a place on the white wall of the veranda opposite and tapped lightly, it really was an empty sound.

Qianyin smiled and said to King Youming: "Thank you for bringing this Taihu Lake stone. This courtyard is not big and it is closed. I thought that if I had a qin in my hand, I could listen to it through the echo of the qin's sound." What is the difference? I saw the stone you brought, and I thought it was not as delicate as the sound of the piano, so I might not be able to hear it. I didn’t expect this stone to be so good.”

Nether King sighed in his heart, he didn't expect to come back from a desperate situation, it turned out to be this way, not to mention that the hidden voice was bound, and he fled all the way, and he still had this meditation to distinguish one by one.However, he was not used to praising people, so he didn't say much at the moment, but touched the wall and pushed it away with magic power, but he saw a cave, which only allowed one person to pass through, and he didn't know how deep it was.

Nether King took out a pearl from his sleeve as a light, and led Qian Yin to walk step by step.There are many twists and turns, the cave wall is rugged, the two walked along the light of the pearl for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly saw a bifurcation in front of them, one leading to a wooden door, and the other meandering down deeply.

The two went to the wooden door and looked out through the crack of the door. The outside seemed to be the exit. It was snow-capped and clean.Looking at the other path again, I don't know where to go, which one is true and which one is false.

After discussing for a long time, the two were really worried that there was another huge illusion outside the wooden door, and they finally agreed to follow the path to see for a while, and if there was something wrong, they would return to the fork.Determined to pay attention, he was walking away, but he heard the wooden door creaking, and the door opened.

A man wearing a feather gauze crane cloak came in, holding a lantern in his hand, and softly called out: "The Nether King." The two looked back following the sound, only to see the crane cloak flashing out of the door, King Youming and Qianyin chased after them, and the sky was covered with snow, only a red shadow disappeared in a blink of an eye on the snow mountain, and a piece of white feather slowly floated down from the sky, which read: Twenty miles to the west, when you leave the Feishuang River, you will leave the barrier.

Nether King said to the piece of white feather: "Thank you, master, for this kindness, I will repay it in the future."

In the vast world, it is the Nether King in black clothes of one color walking through the long twenty miles of wind, frost and snow with the hidden voice in white clothes.The white feather floated gently behind them all the time, without rush or delay, without making a sound, until they came out of the Feishuang River.

Huanfeng laid out numerous formations, aiming to take down Nether King and Qianyin in one fell swoop, but he didn't want the two to escape silently and under his nose.The Nether King left in a hurry, and he didn't even bring the silver-patterned outer robe that he usually wore, and there was a brocade bag next to the robe. When he opened the brocade bag, there was a piece of black jade, with three clear words, Bixiao Palace.Huanfeng took the piece of black jade, and smiled in his angry eyes: "I gave you a girl with a fairy appearance, but you first formed a tacit understanding with others, but your tacit understanding is probably only you I know, I know, I can’t tolerate God knowing.”

The Nether King brought Qianyin all the way, and he was windy for thousands of miles. He finally returned to the Nether Realm and came straight down the Nether River.At the bottom of the Nether River, the merman stabbed himself in the chest with a one-inch short knife, filled a small cup of blood water, and in the cup was a seal stone that had been frozen for thousands of years. The King of Nether said, holding on to his wrist, "Hold it." The blood soaked the immortal rope on the wrist, the pain invaded the bone marrow, and the immortal rope was soaked in blood, Fang heard the call of the seal stone, untied it layer by layer from Qian Yin's wrist, and flew back to the seal stone.

Qian Yin was in pain so much that he was dripping with sweat, but he didn't know that it was this solution, which was more painful than when he was bound, and he almost passed out.The Nether King wanted him to recuperate for two more days, but he was afraid that things would change in one day, so he ordered the Butterfly to accompany him, and a small boat sent him out of the River Styx. Tianhe.
