Fuyun Garden is a large and antique mansion. It is the private property of Princess Taiping. Talents and beauties from Chang'an City, celebrities and nobles always like to come here to gather together from time to time, recite poems, make tea and taste wine. It is equivalent to the top private residence in future generations. Clubhouse. This place is not something anyone can come to if they want. The people who can come here are either rich or noble. In Chang'an City, they are all people with status and status.
Except Ning Tao.
Ning Tao really wanted to buy a pair of trousers and boots, but he had no money, and Princess Taiping seemed to think that this is how "Indians" dress, so bold and free. She also liked it, and she was happy to do it. During this trip, she really let Ning Tao experience the bone-reading technique that she learned from an expert, and she seemed to have discovered Ning Tao's strengths.
If he hadn't vaguely felt that the Xunxian girl might be related to the elixir of the Xunzu Dan, or even the elixir of the Xunzu Dan, Ning Tao would have slapped her with a big ear, how could he endure her pervert's bullshit fortune telling skills? .
After passing through a long nine-curved corridor, Princess Taiping led Ning Tao to a wooden building. This wooden building has only two floors. It is not tall and magnificent, but it is exquisitely designed and crafted with originality. The bottom floor of the wooden building is the place where the talented and beautiful people of Chang'an City, celebrities and nobles drank tea, drank wine, chanted poems and composed poems. The upper floor is where Princess Taiping rests, and the person who lives there now is Miss Xunxian.
When Ning Tao came with Princess Taiping, there were already many guests here, including aristocratic young men in rich and luxurious clothes, as well as scholars dressed up as pure scholars. Some of them were talking about a certain poem, and some were looking out of the window, as if they were brewing something. There were pens, ink, papers, and tea on several long tables. Every pixel in the pictures composed of these people and objects is full of cultural atmosphere.
Looking at these people, Ning Tao suddenly felt like he was back in school. He was late for something, but his classmates had already started studying hard.
However, there is not a single woman in the room, so naturally Miss Xunxian is not here.
"Your Highness the Princess." A scholar in white saw Princess Taiping who had just arrived at the door and was sitting on her knees behind the table. He then stood up and bowed deeply to the door.
Only then did the other people wake up and bow to Princess Taiping one after another.
Princess Taiping walked in and said in a calm tone: "You are all here. Well done. I have received a peerless poem today. I want you to taste it and appreciate it."
"Huh? A very good poem. I wonder what poem Her Highness the Princess composed?" asked the scholar in white.
"Yes, take it out and have a look. It will open our eyes." A young man in rich clothes said, looking a little impatient.
From the tone of his words, one could not guess that she had an extraordinary relationship with Princess Taiping, or that she was a noble prince herself.
"Wu Kun, why are you so anxious? Where is Miss Xunxian?" Princess Taiping said: "This poem must be tasted by Miss Xunxian first, and then I can give it to you. Otherwise, what will happen from the mouths of you guys?" If you use dirty words, it will ruin this wonderful poem."
The surname is Wu, most likely from Wu Zetian’s natal family.
Ning Tao watched Princess Taiping talking to the people in the room, but did not enter the room, just stood by the door. He just wanted to wait until the Xunxian girl appeared and confirm whether she was the elixir of Xunzu Dan, or whether she was someone related to Xunzu Dan. If it is He You, he will stay and wait for the opportunity. If it is not or does not exist, he will turn around and leave, regardless of whether it is peace or not, princess or not.
Before anyone could answer Princess Taiping's words, the sound of the piano suddenly came from upstairs, ding-ding-dong-dong, the sound was melodious and had the elegance of mountains and flowing water.
The voices in the room suddenly disappeared and became quiet.
Ning Tao's heart moved: "Is it the girl who is looking for an immortal?"
He habitually wakes up the sight and smell of his eyes and nose. For him, this is just a natural and simple thing like breathing, but this time something unexpected happened.
He did indeed awaken the sight and smell states of his eyes and nose, but the innate aura of the people in the room did not exist, and he could only smell their scent.
He was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. These people did not really exist. They were all people who had been dead for more than a thousand years. There was no innate aura or breath of life. And the reason why he can still smell their scent is that their bodies, clothes, or sachets really existed in this past time and space.
This discovery made him annoyed. If he couldn't see the innate aura, how could he judge whether the Xunxian girl was the elixir spirit of Xunzu Dan? Because even if they look similar, they may be two different people. What's more, the elixir spirit of Xunzu Dan is not a human being at all. She is just the Nascent Soul of an elixir immortal from the ancient spirit era. Since it is Nascent Soul, she may reside in anyone!
After playing the song, footsteps were heard upstairs.
Before the people upstairs came down, the elegant scholar in white clapped his hands and praised: "This music only exists in heaven, and how many times in the world have I heard it. I, Zhang Yanqing, am really lucky to hear the music of Miss Xunxian." ”
This self-introduction came without any sense of violation. It not only praised Xunxian's piano skills, but also reminded the person he wanted to remind him to remember his name and his demeanor.
Ning Tao's eyes moved to the stairs. It was funny to say that he was not nervous when he went deep into the Black Fire Company's lair alone, but he was a little nervous at the moment. He has never looked forward to meeting someone as much as he does now, and he doesn't want to wait for a second.
"Who is he?" Wu Kun, who was dressed in fine clothes, found Ning Tao standing at the door and asked aloud.
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room turned their heads, and almost everyone focused their attention on Ning Tao.
A black windbreaker, a pair of long hairy legs, and a pair of socks on his feet. This was the first impression Ning Tao gave them. They all had strange expressions on their faces, and that was true. This city of Chang'an was the imperial capital of all nations, so who could dress in such immoral and irritating ways
Princess Chang'an said: "He is the attendant I just accepted today. His name is Xia Yang and he is an Indian."
"Indians? Never heard of it." Wu Kun said, "Do all their people dress like this?"
Princess Taiping said: "Xia Yang, come in and answer Mr. Wu's words."
Ning Tao then walked into the room.
At this moment, a woman walked down the stairs, dressed in fiery red clothes, and even the shoes on her feet were red embroidered shoes.
Ning Tao's eyes fell straight on her face, and when he saw her face clearly, his breathing stopped for a moment.
This woman named Xunxian, her face was exactly the same as that of Xunzu Dan’s elixir that he had seen countless times!
Is this a coincidence or a meeting arranged by God
No way of knowing.
The woman named Xunxian also looked at Ning Tao, but only glanced away before looking away. The moment their eyes met, she didn't seem to be obviously touched, nor did she react in the slightest with surprise. She just glanced at him calmly.
Something is wrong with this situation.
Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "If she is the elixir of Xunzu Dan, she and I have met countless times. She should be able to recognize me at a glance, but it seems that she doesn't Do you know me, are we just people who look alike?”
He reawakened the sight and smell states of his eyes and nose.
The result was within his expectations but also unexpected. Xunxian had no innate aura. She was the same as the people here, there was nothing special about her. She smelled very good, the unique fragrance of Damascus rose.
Damascus rose is a flower unique to Syria, but tens of thousands of people from all over the world live in Chang'an, the imperial capital. It is normal for someone to bring Damascus rose essential oil and other things through the Silk Road.
"You are so bold, where are you looking?" Wu Kun scolded Ning Tao.
Ning Tao withdrew his gaze and looked at Wu Kun, with a flash of black light in his eyes. Even in his "past person" state, his melanism will rear its head when encountering the slightest stimulus. This is inevitable until the root cause of the disease is eliminated. The death talisman only rendered his body into a "past body", but it could not cure the root cause of his blackening. That disease must always be cured by good thoughts and merits.
I was breathing in the womb and heard the sound of the Great Way.
when!
The divine bell rings, and the sound of the avenue rises and falls.
After silently reciting "Your Sutra", Ning Tao suppressed the anger in his heart and said tepidly: "Everyone has the heart of admiration. Miss Xunxian is as beautiful as a direct immortal. I can't help but take another look. , I'm sorry. But if I can turn a blind eye to a fairy-like woman like Miss Xunxian, then what do I need these eyes for?"
The realization of Xunxian moved to Ning Tao's face again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Princess Taiping smiled and said: "Xunxian, he is the new attendant of this palace. What do you think of him?"
Xunxian said: "Your Highness, your clothes are strange and hard to accept, but your words are good and you should be an interesting person."
"He is not only interesting, he is the author of a peerless poem I brought you today." Princess Taiping said: "Xia Yang, there is pen and ink here, you can write out your poem "Like a Dream" and let Miss Xunxian appreciate it. "
Ning Tao didn't say anything about obeying the order. He walked directly to a table, dipped his pen in ink and silently wrote Li Qingzhao's "Rumeng Ling". He still remembered that the font of the Tang Dynasty was regular script, and when he was writing, he reminded himself that he had to write traditional Chinese characters, not simplified Chinese characters.
Zhang Yanqing, the scholar in white, said: "He is disheveled, and even the way he holds his pen smells like a game. Is he plagiarizing a poem from somewhere and just having fun?"
Princess Taiping frowned slightly. She didn't know whether she thought Zhang Yanqing couldn't speak, or whether she thought Zhang Yanqing was right.
Wu Kun also added: "Your Highness, what Yan Qing said makes sense. You have to check it carefully. This statement may not necessarily identify your philanthropic character and your love of making friends with strangers. Where did you copy it from? A poem to fool you."
Zhang Yanqing was soft-spoken, and it didn't matter what he said. But Wu Kun said the same thing, and Princess Taiping believed it. She snorted coldly: "If that's true, I will chop off his head and hang it at the market entrance to show his character." Check his brain!"
Ning Tao turned a deaf ear. He calmly wrote out Li Qingzhao's dreamlike order silently, lifted up the paper, held it in both hands and handed it to Xunxian: "Miss Xunxian, please taste it."
Xunxian took the Rumeng Ling handed to her by Ning Tao with both hands.
But just as she was holding the piece of paper, Ning Tao suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
