Chapter 33: Mountaineering in the fog

The two rode together. Ye Tianling was holding the reins from behind. Qing Chen looked down and saw his slender fingers, steady and hidden with inexplicable strength. His arms and chest formed a hug around him, safe and warm. It seems that when I was very young, I felt this way in my father's arms. Because I knew there was protection, I could lean on it relaxedly and would never let go.
I don’t know since when, it’s been a long time since I felt this way, and it was so long that people thought it was a memory problem.
She raised her head with such a mood, looked at Ye Tianling from this angle, but immediately caught his gaze, under that plain face, there was a different kind of happy expression.
Seeing her looking over, Ye Tianling lowered her head and smiled slightly, and said, "Take you to a place."
"Where?" Qing Chen said.
"I will know when I go," he said.
Fengchi traveled very fast, and in a short while, he entered the remote mountain road, looking at the direction that seemed to be the branch of Baolu Mountain. The two of them went up all the way, almost to the highest point of this mountain. When there was no way out before, Ye Tianling slowly reined in.
Sitting on the horse, Qing Chen looked around and couldn't help exclaiming. From where they stood, you could see the uninterrupted mountains of Baolu Mountain, Tiandu Yige was far in front, and the huge city became only one hand. The Chuyan River passes through the city, merges with another river and turns into a rushing and wide river, surging forward to the distance. Man seems to be standing between the boundless world, open-minded, infinitely stretched, straight to merge with the vast nature, and is shocked by this magnificent country.
She looked at the mountains, forests and rivers with great surprise, and suddenly heard Ye Tianling asking in her ear: "Are you afraid?"
After hearing the words, she lowered her head and realized that the place where the wind had stopped was the end of a cliff. As long as one step forward, people would fall into the abyss.
The cliff was cut, and when it fell suddenly, there were occasional clouds and mists floating in the valley, and when the wind passed, it quickly flew and disappeared, revealing the bottomless canyon. Qing Chen looked back at Ye Tianling excitedly, with surprises and joys in her phoenix eyes, the bright brilliance shining in the eyes, and said, "Where is this place?"
Ye Tianling looked down at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Suddenly he lifted the reins, and the wind quickly hissed, and the two hoofs rose into the air, almost under the cliff, turning around steadily as Qing Chen screamed. A few steps behind. Both of them laughed loudly at the same time, and both felt extremely happy.
Ye Tianling rolled over and got off his horse, stretched out his hand, and Qing Chen helped him to jump down and stood on the high rock in front of him. Ye Tianling said, "I often come here alone."
Qing Chen sat down casually on the boulder and looked into the distance endlessly: "Such a good place is for everyone alone?"
Ye Tianling smiled faintly: "Apart from Fengchi, how can other horses reach the summit?"
"Yuncheng can also." Qing Chen said.
Ye Tianling smiled and nodded, Qing Chen turned to look at him for a while, and asked: "Are you so happy every time you come here?"
Ye Tianling closed his smile, his eyes stopped in her eyes, and shook his head: "Before, it was only when things were in the heart that they came."
"Oh?" Qing Chen asked, "What about now?"
"I like it, I want to come." Ye Tianling replied. Two steps forward with one hand, faintly looking down at the towering mountains, his clothes swaying in the mountain breeze.
Qing Chen looked at him quietly from the side, his deep gaze seemed to reveal a rebellious spirit, as far as he could see, the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers seemed to be pointing, and the vast land was nothing but a wave of ups and downs. Auran puts nothing in his eyes, and the world is the same. She couldn't help but softly said: "Aloft, please see, my country is beautiful and picturesque. Mountaineering and walking in the fog, pointing to the sky and laughing and scolding, who can you praise me?"
Ye Tianling suddenly turned around to look at her. She smiled and said, "Isn't it a bit rebellious? It's just a word I like very much."
Ye Tianling said: "I have never heard of it."
Qing Chen said: "This word comes from my hometown, and it is about how a legendary emperor who has made great achievements and unifies the world, how to master the situation and win the world of chic."
Ye Tianling asked, "Your hometown?"
Qing Chen looked at the long river rushing across the vast sky and said, "Well, my hometown does not belong to a place here."
Ye Tianling said, "Where is that place?"
Qing Chen replied: "I don't know, you say, what is this place?"
Ye Tianling said, "This is here."
Qing Chen said: "There is also there."
The two people played a few dumb riddles as if they were in Zen, and suddenly smiled at the same time, and Ye Tianling said: "No matter where you are, as long as you know it in your heart."
Qing Chen's expression was slightly sad: "It seems that I am not me. Who really knows who he is, and who can be sober?"
Ye Tianling said indifferently: "People who know what they want will naturally not be unnecessarily confused."
Qing Chen got up and stood side by side with him, her clothes draped and her long hair volley: "Then Brother Si, what do you want?"
Ye Tianling turned to look at her, Qing Chen looked into his eyes and said: "You don't need to answer."
Ye Tianling cast his gaze on the boundless rivers and mountains in front of him. Later, he stretched out a hand and slowly drew a half circle in front of the two of them. The final place of the finger fell on the looming Taisho Palace in the center of the sky. .
Qing Chen looked over with his hand, raised her lips and smiled. She looked down at his saber and saw that his waist today was just an ordinary black squirt sword. After thinking about it, she asked, "Fourth brother , Guili Sword in your hands?"
Ye Tianling was slightly silent, but did not deny: "Yes."
Qing Chen said: "If so, don't bring it out easily in the future."
Ye Tianling's eyebrows twitched: "Do you know Guilijian?"
Qing Chen said indifferently: "The Guili Sword was once the sword used by the first emperor to command the nine domains and dominate the world a hundred years ago when the first emperor climbed the Jingyun Mountain. It was the imperial treasure. In the eighth year of Emperor Yongzhi, his whereabouts were unknown. According to legend, whoever gets this sword gets the world."
A smile appeared on Ye Tianling's lips and said, "It's just a legend."
Qing Chen said: "Even if it is only a legend, there will be countless people who believe in it, and even worship and support it. That sword was definitely not given to you by the emperor. Apart from you and eleven, no one in the royal family knows. Guilijian reappears. You went to the main altar of the Mingyi Building, and you shouldn't carry it with you."
Ye Tianling did not deny her speculation, and said, "You know the ins and outs of Guilijian so clearly, then you can see that the sword screams and warns the lord? Guilijian was very abnormal that day, and it made frequent alarms until it entered the valley. It was quiet."
"So that's the case." Qing Chen faced Gao Feng Jueling in deep thought, then smiled suddenly, "Four brother, the Fuyi sword is here."
Ye Tianling was slightly surprised: "What?"
Qing Chen said: "It complements Guilijian's Yin and Yang. It was the Fuyi sword that was once the sword of Empress Zhaoming, the first emperor. Four brothers should have heard of it."
After Ye Tianling was shocked, she remained silent, as if waiting for her to continue speaking, she calmly looked at him, and then smiled: "If the fourth brother is really sure what I want, I am willing to play this game with the fourth brother. ."
Ye Tianling said, "What's the reason?"
Qing Chen smiled quietly: "Heroes have been lonely since ancient times, and those who climb high are lonely. It may be more interesting to have someone as a company."
Ye Tianling's expression moved, but there was no expression in the bottom of her eyes, she only asked faintly: "Then what do you want?"
Qing Chen's clear eyes passed a little dazed: "What I want...I don't know what I want, maybe everything I go through is just a process, because I can't see the end, so I can only This process is in my own hands. If one day suddenly finds the end in front of my eyes, I will feel that I have had a wonderful dream. Furthermore, maybe everyone's end is the same, and the difference is how to get there. Go. Some people waste their lives, some are chic, some are inactive, and some are conquering the world. They have different tastes."
Life is a dream, and dreams are like life, just like Zhuang Shengxiaomeng. I don't know if I have entered the dream of a butterfly or dreamed of a butterfly myself.
This life is just a stage drama that has opened the curtain, so why bother about the role played? As long as the sleeves of the flowing clouds are raised, and the sings are truly amazing, the dreams are also gorgeous, let alone the curtain has been lifted, is it because you sing or not?
Why aren't the people watching the play in the play? It's better to sing a full house.
Ye Tianling said: "You don't know what you want, how can you be sure that we will choose the same path?"
Qing Chen smiled and said, "Intuition. I seem to have been standing on this road. I am also a little curious about the future, so I want to invite someone to take a trip together. I wonder if the fourth brother is willing?"
Ye Tianling said: "Walking? When and where?"
Qing Chen said: "I don't know. Some things are fixed by nature, just like I am standing on this road. It was not my choice at the beginning. I can only choose how to go in the future."
"Tianding?" Ye Tianling's pale eyes suddenly showed a hint of arrogance, and turned to look at her, "What about Tianding? Even if God's will is ahead, I don't care about going against the sky."
Qing Chen didn't know why he suddenly didn't conceal his domineering aura, and smiled: "Fourth brother is so courageous."
Ye Tianling looked at her deeply, as if he had made some decision, he wanted to brand this decision in her heart with that look, and said slowly: "You have thought about it, this road is not easy to walk. ."
Qing Chen said: "That's why it's interesting, and only such a dangerous path can reach places beyond ordinary people's reach."
Ye Tianling asked: "Aren't you afraid?"
Qing Chen looked down at the mountains and rivers in front of him: "Fourth brother, you just asked this question."
Ye Tianling raised the corner of her lips. After a while, he said: "Okay."
When going down the mountain, the scenery is beautiful all the way, the wind speeds and stops, and there is no hurry to return. Ye Tianling seemed to be very familiar with the line of Baolu Mountain, and took Qing Chen to look at several scenes. The mountains are lush forests and green grass. Sometimes when they turn, there are various wild flowers scattered all over the mountains and plains. Qing Chen shouted from time to time to stop his horse, leaned over to pick those flowers, and soon held them. A lot.
The mountain flowers are beautiful and simple, they seem inconspicuous when they are scattered, but they seem to carry the spring light of the mountains when they are together. Qing Chen fiddled with the flowers with a smile, picking up and down with her fingers, and the golden silk-like sunlight was dexterously woven together with the flower branches, and a wreath was slowly formed. Ye Tianling walked forward slowly with the wind, looking at her behind herself, and suddenly said: "The last time about Yanxi Palace, don't take it to heart."
When Qing Chen heard the words, her eyebrows were lightly raised. She curled a flower and grass and asked, "Is this... an apology?"
No answer was heard, but Ye Tianling's reins were shaking slightly, and the speed of the wind speeded up a bit. Qing Chen smiled secretly, asking him to apologize, it may be more difficult than going to the sky, and deliberately said: "If it is an apology, then forget it this time, but if you are not uncommon, you must explain it to the empress mother first, lest her elderly It’s a shame to mess with mandarin ducks in the public."
Ye Tianling remained silent. Qing Chen looked strange, looking back at him, Ye Tianling was looking down after lowering her head, her deep pupils seemed to change in depth, her expression unpredictable.
Qing Chen turned his head and muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't look like an apology, at least not sincere."
The arms around her tightened slightly, and Ye Tianling said lightly above her head: "Who said I'm not rare?"
Qing Chen looked up in surprise, but saw that he had already cast his eyes forward. Suddenly there was a strange feeling. It seemed that there was a strange atmosphere all around him. The cold breath, warm breath, tolerant body temperature, and the strength of his arms all became clear at that moment, and she could almost feel it. His heart is beating slightly against himself, and the blood is flowing slowly, gradually rushing to his body. She felt this feeling cautiously. Although she wanted to refute the sentence "If it is rare, it is really unforgivable", but she couldn't say a word.
