The two rode together, and Ye Tianling held the rein from behind. Qing Chen looked down and saw that his slender fingers had clear bones due to slight force, and were stable but concealed a sense of strength. His arms and chest formed an encircling circle around him. . I vaguely remember that when I was very young, I felt this kind of feeling in my father's arms, safe and warm, because I knew there was protection, so I could relax and rely on it, and it would never be let go.
I don't know when, I haven't felt this way for a long time, and it's been so long that people think it's a memory problem.
She raised her head with such a mood, looked at Ye Tianling from this angle, but immediately met his gaze, under that plain face, there was a different kind of joyful expression.
Seeing her looking over, Ye Tianling smiled slightly and said, "Take you somewhere."
"Where?" Qing Chen asked.
"You'll know when you go," he said.
Feng Chi walked extremely fast, and soon entered a remote mountain road, looking in the direction that seemed to be a peak of Baolu Mountain. The two of them went all the way up to the top of the mountain, almost reached the highest point of the mountain, when there was no way out, Ye Tianling Fang slowly reined in.
Sitting on the horse, Qing Chen looked around, and couldn't help but exclaimed. From where they were, they could see the continuous mountains of Baolu Mountain, and Yige City was far in front of them. The huge city became within reach. . The Chuyan River passes through the city, merges with another branch of the river, and turns into a galloping and wide river, rolling towards the distance. People seem to stand between the boundless heaven and earth, with a broad mind that stretches infinitely, until they merge with this vast nature, and they are also shocked by this magnificent country.
She looked at the mountains, forests and rivers in amazement, and suddenly heard Ye Tianling asking in her ear, "Are you afraid?"
After hearing this, she lowered her head, only to realize that the place where Fengchi stopped was the end of a cliff, and if she took one step forward, she would fall into the abyss.
The cliff is sharply cut, and as soon as it falls, there are occasional clouds and mist floating in the valley. When the wind passes by, it quickly flies away and disappears, revealing a bottomless canyon. Qing Chen looked back at Ye Tianling excitedly, his phoenix eyes were filled with surprise, joy or smile, the bright brilliance shone in his eyes, and he said, "Why are you afraid! What kind of place is this?"
Ye Tianling looked down at her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly lifted the reins, Feng Chi let out a long hiss, and the man stood up in the air, almost falling into the cliff, followed by Qing Chen's irritating scream, turned around steadily Fall back a few steps. Both of them laughed out loud at the same time, feeling extremely happy.
Ye Tianling got off his horse and stretched out his hand. Qing Chen supported his hand and jumped off, and stood on the high rock in front of him together. Ye Tianling said, "I often come here alone."
Qing Chen sat down casually on the boulder, and looked into the distance with endless fascination: "Such a good place is exclusive to one person."
Ye Tianling smiled and said, "Except for Fengchi, how can other horses reach such a level?"
"Yuncheng can do it too." Qing Chen said.
Ye Tianling nodded with a smile, Qing Chen turned to look at him for a while, and asked, "Are you so happy every time you come here?"
Ye Tianling withdrew his smile and shook his head: "I used to come only when I had something on my mind."
"Oh?" Qing Chen asked, "Then what now?"
"I like it, I want to come." Ye Tianling replied. He took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, overlooking the majestic mountains lightly, his clothes fluttering in the mountain wind.
Qing Chen quietly looked at him from the side, his deep eyes seemed to reveal a kind of rebellious spirit, everywhere he looked, mountains and rivers of thousands of miles were under his fingertips, and the vast land was only ups and downs with waving hands, the expression in his expression Proudly, it seems that everything is ignored, and the same is true for heaven and earth. She couldn't help but said softly: "It's high above, please look at it, my country is beautiful and picturesque. Climbing the mountain and stepping on the fog, pointing at the sky and laughing and cursing, who else can praise me?"
Ye Tianling suddenly turned around and looked at her. She smiled and said, "Isn't it outrageous again? It's just a word I like very much."
Ye Tianling said, "I've never heard of it."
Qing Chen said: "This word comes from my hometown, and it is about a legendary emperor who has made great achievements and unified the world.
Ye Tianling asked, "Your hometown?"
Qing Chen looked at the boundless sky of the long river, 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 either, tell me, what is this place?"
Ye Tianling said: "This is here."
Qing Chen said, "That's where it is."
The two played a few charades like practicing Zen, and suddenly smiled at the same time, Ye Tianling said: "It doesn't matter here or there, as long as you know yourself."
Qing Chen said a little sadly: "It seems that I am not me, who really knows who he is, and who can not be confused?"
Ye Tianling said lightly: "People who know what they want will not be confused."
Qing Chen got up and stood side by side with him, his clothes fluttering and his long hair flying in the air: "Then what do you want?"
Ye Tianling turned his head to meet her gaze, Qing Chen looked into his eyes and said, "You can choose not to answer."
Ye Tianling cast his eyes on the boundless rivers and mountains from the top of the mountain, and after a while, stretched out a hand, and slowly drew a half circle in front of the two people's eyes, and the final point of his finger landed on the faintly visible Dazheng Palace in the center of Tiandu. superior.
Qing Chen followed his hand to look down at the past, and raised her lips to smile. She looked down at his saber, and saw that it was just an ordinary long sword with a black scabbard on his waist today. After a little thought, she asked, "Fourth Brother , the Guili sword is in your hand?"
Ye Tianling was slightly silent, but did not deny it: "Yes."
Qing Chen said: "If so, don't take it out easily in the future."
Ye Tianling's brows twitched: "Do you know Guili Sword?"
Qing Chen said indifferently: "The Guili Sword was once the sword used by the Emperor Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty when he climbed Jingyun Mountain to command the nine kingdoms and rule the world a hundred years ago. , so there is a legend that whoever gets this sword wins the world."
An invisible smile escaped Ye Tianling's lips, and said: "It's just a legend, a sword is just a sword no matter what."
Qing Chen said: "But there are countless people in the world who will believe such legends. That sword was definitely not given to you by the Emperor of Heaven. Apart from you and Shiyi, no one in the royal family must have known the reappearance of Guili Sword. You At that time, you should not carry it with you when you go to the main altar of Mingyi Building."
Ye Tianling did not deny her speculation, and said: "You know the ins and outs of Guilijian more clearly than I thought, so do you know that the sword is beeping by itself, and is a warning to the Lord? Guilijian was very abnormal that day, and he frequently warned It was not quiet until it entered the valley."
"So that's how it is." Facing the peaks and mountains in front of him, Qing Chen pondered deeply, and suddenly smiled and said, "Fourth brother, the Fuyong sword is here with me."
Ye Tianling was slightly surprised: "What?"
"Floating Sword." Qing Chen said: "It complements the Yin and Yang of the Guili Sword. It used to be the sword of Queen Jingzhen, the founding queen of this dynasty. Fourth brother should have heard of it."
After being shocked for a moment, Ye Tianling remained silent, as if waiting for her to continue, she looked at him calmly, and then smiled: "If the fourth brother is really sure what he wants, I am willing to play this game with the fourth brother." game."
"It's very interesting." Ye Tianling said, "What's the reason?"
Qing Chen smiled quietly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been lonely, and those who climbed the heights are lonely. It may be more interesting to have someone as a companion."
Ye Tianling's expression moved, his eyes were dark, and he just asked lightly: "Then what do you want?"
A little blankness flashed across Qing Chen's clear eyes, and he said: "What I want... Someone asked me this question before, and I seemed to have answered it at that time. In fact, I don't know what I want. Maybe what I want Everything I experience is just a process, because I can’t see the end, so I can only hold this process in my own hands. If one day I suddenly find that the end is in front of me, I will feel like I have had a wonderful dream. Or, maybe everyone’s end point is the same, the difference is how to get to this end point. Some people waste their lives, some are chic and romantic, some do nothing, and some dominate the world. The taste is not the same.”
Life is like a dream, and dreams are like life, just like Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng. I don't know if he has entered the dream of a butterfly, or he has dreamed of a butterfly.
Anyway, it's just a stage play with a big red curtain, so why care about what kind of role you play, as long as the flowing clouds and water sleeves are raised, and the singing is so true, even the dream is gorgeous, not to mention the curtain is open. Set off, is it up to you to sing or not
The people watching the play are not in the play, it's better to sing to the full house.
Ye Tianling said: "You don't know what you want, so how can you be sure that we can walk the same path?"
Qing Chen smiled and said: "Based on my intuition, there is a road that I seem to have already stood on. I am also a little curious about this road, so I want to invite someone to take a walk together. I wonder if the fourth brother is willing?"
Ye Tianling said: "Go for a while? When and where?"
Qing Chen said: "Then I don't know. Some things are determined by God. For example, if I stand on this road, it may not be my choice. I can only choose how to go after this."
"Tian Ding?" Ye Tianling's eyes were dull, and suddenly there was a sharp aloof and almost arrogant light, he turned to look at her: "What about Tian Ding? Even if God's will is really in front, I will To turn it around."
Qing Chen didn't know why he suddenly didn't hide his domineering aura, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is so courageous."
Ye Tianling looked her deeply into his eyes, as if he had made some decision, and with that gaze, he wanted to imprint this decision on her heart as well, and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about it, this road is not easy to walk .”
Qing Chen said: "That's why it's interesting, and only this dangerous path can reach what ordinary people can't reach."
Ye Tianling asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Qing Chen looked down at the mountains and rivers in front of him: "Fourth brother, you asked this question just now."
Ye Tianling raised the corner of his lips, and after a while, he said a word: "Okay."
When going down the mountain, the scenery along the way was beautiful, and Feng Chi stopped and stopped in no hurry to go back. Ye Tianling seemed to be very familiar with the line of Baolu Mountain, and took Qing Chen to see a few more scenery. The forests in the mountains are verdant and the grass is luxuriant. Sometimes when you turn around, clusters of wild flowers of various colors are scattered all over the mountains and plains. From time to time, Qing Chen yells to him to stop his horse and leans over to pick those flowers. a lot.
The mountain flowers are delicate and simple, and they seem inconspicuous when they are scattered, but they seem to bring the spring scenery of the mountain when they are gathered together, which is very romantic and pleasant. Qing Chen played with the flowers with a smile on his face, picked them up and down with his fingers, and the golden sunlight was woven together with the flower branches deftly, and a wreath slowly formed. Ye Tianling led Fengchi forward slowly, looked at her from behind, and said suddenly: "Don't worry about what happened in Yanxi Palace last time."
Qing Chen paused between her fingers when she heard the words, and raised her eyebrows lightly. She picked up a flower and plant and asked, "Is this an apology?"
Ye Tianling's eyes fluctuated slightly, he didn't speak, the reins under his hands shook lightly, and Fengchi's speed increased a little.
Qing Chen secretly smiled and thought that it might be harder to get him to apologize, so she deliberately said: "If it's an apology, then let's forget it this time, but if you don't care, you must explain it to the Queen Mother first, so that her old man won't let you down." If you mess up the mandarin ducks, I will be ashamed in the public."
Ye Tianling was still silent, Qing Chen was surprised, and looked back at him, Ye Tianling was looking down at him, his deep pupils seemed to change in depth, and his expression was 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 calmly above her head: "Who said I'm not rare anymore?"
Qing Chen looked up in surprise, but saw that he had already cast his gaze forward. Suddenly, there was a strange feeling, as if the surroundings were filled with some kind of strange atmosphere. His light breath, warm breath, tolerant body temperature, and the strength of his arms became extremely clear at that moment, and she could almost feel it. His heart was beating slightly against him, and the blood was slowly flowing, gradually enveloping his whole body. She experienced this feeling carefully, although she really wanted to refute "If it is rare, it is really unforgivable", but she couldn't say a word.
