Strange Tale of Qingluan

The eaves horses of the temple sway in the wind and rain, making a crisp sound, which is more clear and pleasant to the ears in the silent night.

On a stormy night, there is always an atmosphere of unrest. During the heavy rain, the unavoidable sound of rain covers most of the footsteps.

Those footsteps were chaotic and hasty, and the lights of the lanterns shaking in the rain were also in jeopardy.In the hazy rain curtain, only a few men in brocade clothes with swords hanging from their waists were nervously escorting a woman wearing a cloak that covered her face tightly, and one of the men in brocade clothes was also holding an umbrella for the woman from the rain .

Because she was walking too fast, the woman accidentally slipped her foot and fell to her knees on the ground. Her skirt was wet with water, and the lantern fell to the ground due to slipping hands. The paper of the lantern was immediately wet, and the light went out at that time .Seeing this, several brocade-clothed men hurriedly exclaimed: "Imperial doctor!" They hurriedly helped him up, "Is the imperial doctor alright?"

The woman only raised her right hand and waved it lightly, indicating that it was okay.

From a little distance behind them came a voice that wanted to tear the rain curtain: "Catch up! The regent's people! Chase...on..." As soon as he said the word 'chasing', the man fell to the ground In the rain, countless sharp arrows had just been inserted into his back, fresh blood seeped into the rain, but with his eyes open, he couldn't see the lights of countless figures and weapons passing by quickly.

The few brocade-clad men in front heard the voice, and hurriedly led the woman to continue running forward, with even more hurried steps, heading straight for the monastery on the mountain.Not long after, a group of men with weapons in their hands arrived, looked at the lantern left on the ground, and hurriedly continued to catch up along this road.

Where the pilgrims of the monastery were staying, there was a sudden sound of a window swaying, which awakened Murong Xuanpei. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was raining again and the window was swaying. , opened his lips and said to himself: "Why does this wind and rain seem to have a bloody smell?"

Afraid that it was his own illusion, Murong Xuanpei shook his head lightly, and then closed the window.

A few figures rushed to the temple, the temple door had just opened, and countless sharp arrows descended again, piercing the door panel, and almost pierced into the monk's forehead, thanks to a few men in brocade clothes who swung their knives to stop some of them.The monk was still shocked, and hurriedly invited all the visitors into the monastery.

Official boots and cloth shoes stepped on the wet and slippery bluestone slabs, quite hastily and messily, and occasionally someone said: "Little Master, quickly hide this woman! The more concealed the better!"

The monk immediately led the young man dressed as a woman to the depths of the monastery.

The sudden sound of beating and killing in the monastery woke up many monks and pilgrims who were staying overnight. Mixed with the sound of wind and rain, the monastery became even more uneven.

Amidst the sound of beating and killing, human voices sounded again.

"They are all colleagues and brothers! Why are you killing each other today!"

"The traitor is still talking about colleagues and brothers! If you still think about brothers, you should follow the regent's order and hand over the imperial doctor-Long Yuxin!"

"He took the lives of our loved ones back from Lord Yan! We can't be so ungrateful!"

"Then go see Lord Yan!"

The blood smeared all over the ground, and then splashed onto tree trunks and walls.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Long Yuxin ran into a house in the deepest part of the courtyard, raised her elbow and knocked open one of the doors, hid in the room, and closed the door tightly.

"Who?! The one who broke in in the middle of the night, is it robbery? Or robbery?"

When Long Yuxin turned around and heard the words, she was startled, she hurriedly covered Murong Xuanpei's mouth tightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"

Murong Xuanpei didn't appreciate this move, and hurriedly raised his hand to break his hand, but he couldn't break it, so he raised his foot to kick his knee, but he blocked it, and the two immediately started fighting.After a while, Murong Xuanpei finally broke free from him, opened his lips and asked in surprise, "You know martial arts?"

Long Yuxin was very nervous, and hurriedly shouted again in a low voice: "Hush! Don't make a sound!"

Murong Xuanpei lowered his voice and asked, "What happened outside? Are you looting the temple, or are you being hunted down?"

Long Yuxin gave him a blank look impatiently, without explaining anything, she just grabbed his skirt with one hand, pulled him to her eyes, then bent the back of her index finger and tapped the Shenting acupoint in the center of his forehead with a little force, and then He turned his back and hit the Lingtai acupoint on his back with the back of his phalanges, then pulled up his arm and struck the Lingdao acupoint on the inner side of the wrist and the Qingling acupoint on the inner side of the arm before letting him go.

Feeling a little dizzy from being turned around, and being beaten in several places on his body, Murong Xuanpei couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed: "What on earth are you trying to do? Tell me quickly, don't disturb my sleep!"

Long Yuxin replied in a low voice: "Just now I just helped you open your mind, lest you talk nonsense!"

Murong Xuanpei was slightly taken aback: "Are you... a doctor?"

As soon as the words fell, just as he realized it, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the sound of chaotic footsteps was getting closer and closer.Without further ado, Long Yuxin wanted to hide in the gap under the bedding. Murong Xuanpei quickly pulled him up and dragged him onto the bedding, while tearing his clothes and herself apart. clothes while throwing them out of the bedding.

Long Yuxin struggled and said: "Stop! You disciple!"

Murong Xuanpei seriously said: "I only have this way." As soon as his hands touched his chest, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, "Are you...a man...?"

Before Long Yuxin could answer, the sound of random footsteps stopped outside the door, Murong Xuanpei hurriedly covered the quilt, and shook the bedding while stroking the side of his neck, pretending to be celebrating the night in the village.

The door of the room was knocked open quickly, and several brocade-clothed men with blood knives in their hands broke into the room, and the smell of blood spread here.The man in brocade clothes opened his lips and shouted, "Come out of the bed for me!"

Murong Xuanpei hurriedly poked her head out from under the quilt, and said with a smile: "Everyone, what's the matter? I'm still fighting with the bitch!" Seeing that the quilt was removed, Long Yuxin hurriedly turned her face away, Cover your face with your hands.In order to be realistic, Murong Xuanpei babbled in front of his face and neck, and shook the bedding.

The brocade-clothed men glanced at the messy men's and women's clothes on the ground, and then at the dry firewood and hot pots on the bedding. Suddenly, they got hot and hurriedly retreated, and the footsteps began to spread again.

Murong Xuanpei took the opportunity to whisper in Long Yuxin's ear: "They can't find anyone, and they will definitely come back here again. We must escape before they come back."

Long Yuxin blushed because of his acting just now, raised her hands to cover her face, did not answer, but nodded.

After getting dressed, Murong Xuanpei took advantage of the confusion and led Long Yuxin to avoid the man in brocade clothes all the way to the bottom of a high wall. Before Long Yuxin could open his lips, he quickly carried him on his shoulders and jumped onto the wall He quickly stepped on the wall and climbed up, and soon passed the top of the wall, and then dragged him to run thousands of miles in the night, and came to the coast.

Only then did Long Yuxin come to her senses, and asked, "You, where are you taking me?"

Murong Xuanpei replied: "Since I saved you, I won't give up halfway. Now only Yangui Island can temporarily accommodate you." After saying that, he got a small boat, carried Long Yuxin, and rowed the boat until dusk. Arrived at Yangui Island.

As soon as he stepped into the main gate of Murong's house, countless faces appeared and greeted the two of them happily.

Murong Qinmei opened his lips: "Brother, you are finally back!" His eyes shifted and fell on Long Yuxin, he was stunned for a while, and then became happy again, "Sister-in-law!"

Long Yuxin was very unhappy when she heard the words, she couldn't hold back, and raised her fist to hit Murong Qinmei's side face.

Murong Qinmei's face was fairly thick, and he was not injured, so he wondered: "Why did sister-in-law shake her fist when they first met?"

Long Yuxin became more and more frustrated, pointing at the tip of her nose, blurted out: "Do I look like his wife?!"

Everyone in Murong's family thought he was speaking modestly, and hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes! A couple made in heaven!"

Long Yuxin couldn't help clenching her trembling fists, glanced at Murong Xuanpei who was only smiling but kept silent, grabbed his skirt, and said angrily, "Why don't you explain it to your family soon?"

Murong Xuanpei immediately announced: "He is indeed not a sister-in-law. He..."

Murong Qinmei hurriedly said: "Not married yet? It doesn't matter, it's the same to get married on Yangui Island!"

Long Yuxin was about to go crazy, she squeezed through the crowd and rushed into the living room alone.

At night, Murong Xuanpei came to a small building with a bowl of medicinal soup, knocked on the door, and found that the door was not closed tightly, so he pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Long Yuxin doing gymnastics, he poured the medicinal soup Put it on the table.

Smelling the smell of medicine, Long Yuxin immediately came to the desk and asked, "What did you bring?"

Murong Xuanpei replied: "You and I fled all the way from the monastery to my house. We are exhausted, so we should make up for it."

Long Yuxin picked up the medicinal soup, sniffed it carefully, took a sip, tasted it, put it down, and asked quickly: "Let me ask you, who prescribed this prescription? Who caught the medicine?"

Murong Xuanpei was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I went to the medicine store to catch it myself, and I also decocted the medicine myself."

Long Yuxin continued to ask: "Did you stew a jar of Taizishen, cooked rehmannia, Eucommia, aconite, Cangzhu, Fangfeng, Chuanxiong... and velvet tiger-whip?"

Murong Xuanpei was taken aback again, and opened his lips: "You can guess this too?!"

Long Yuxin couldn't help but helped Fu's forehead, then dragged him to the front, tapped the Shenting acupoint in the center of his forehead with the back of the phalanx of his index finger, suddenly he turned around obediently, opened his arms, and showed his back.

Long Yuxin was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Murong Xuanpei replied: "Didn't you want to tap Lingtai acupoint?"

Long Yuxin couldn't bear it any longer, she folded her arms and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to heal your brain even if you tap acupuncture points!"

Murong Xuanpei was curious: "Is this prescription wrong?"

Long Yuxin snorted softly, and replied: "You just need to stew a pot of chicken soup with angelica, wolfberry and ginseng, but your medicinal soup is messy! Also, you added antler tiger-whip randomly! Do you know that antler tiger-whip What kind of stuff is it for mending!" When he said the second half of the sentence, his cheeks were slightly hot.

Murong Xuanpei only said: "I thought they were medicines for nourishing yang and strengthening bones."

Long Yuxin blushed and said slightly angrily: "Exhaustion is a problem with the muscles and bones, what kind of yang is it?"

Murong Xuanpei looked at a bowl of medicinal soup on the table: "Then this bowl of medicinal..."

Long Yuxin also took a look at the medicinal soup, and because of the precious medicinal materials, she simply picked up the bowl and drank it, only drank half of it, when Murong Xuanpei suddenly snatched the bowl, and the remaining half of the medicinal soup flowed into him In the abdomen.

Long Yuxin was stunned: "What are you doing again?!"

Murong Xuanpei replied: "If something goes wrong after drinking this bowl of medicine, I can share it with you."

Long Yuxin was speechless for a moment.

Murong Xuanpei looked at it, and said again: "I'm going back to my room first, you should have a good rest." Picking up the empty bowl, she left and went straight downstairs.

In the middle of the night, Long Yuxin woke up from a dream, sweating profusely, and was so disturbed that she couldn't sleep anymore. Thinking that it might be the effect of the half bowl of soup, she got up and wandered around on Yangui Island.

Unlike the palace guards patrolling, the night on the island was extremely quiet, only the sound of his footsteps echoed in his ears along the way.But only when passing through a long corridor, the sound of the piano suddenly came from the octagonal pavilion opposite.

Just out of curiosity, Long Yuxin walked there quickly, with her foundation in martial arts, she moved very quickly, and she was outside the pavilion in a blink of an eye.The night wind gently blew the gauze curtains hanging on eight sides, and the person sitting in the pavilion with his head buried in the piano emerged from the gaps in the gauze curtains. Long Yuxin only took one look, then walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Murong Xuanpei raised his head and asked, "Why don't you sleep?"

Long Yuxin said calmly, "I can't sleep."

Murong Xuanpei answered, "Coincidentally, I am too."

Long Yuxin directly grabbed one of his hands, felt his pulse with her fingertips, and then opened her lips: "I can't fall asleep after drinking the messy medicine soup I made, I really did it myself."

Murong Xuanpei only smiled, and then suddenly asked: "Those guards in brocade clothes who want to capture you, were they sent by the regent of Ge Yunguo - Huang Yan?"

Long Yuxin was stunned when she heard the words: "How do you know?!"

Murong Xuanpei replied: "This person sent me a letter, intending to invite me and Murong's family to join the Mufeng Society. I think you must have rejected him before you were chased by him."

Long Yuxin lowered her eyes: "What are you going to do?"

Murong Xuanpei said: "He will definitely come to Yangui Island in person, you can't stay on the island for too long." Glancing at him, "Some things... I don't know if I should say it face to face."

Long Yuxin said generously: "You can tell. Before I leave Yangui Island."

As soon as the words were finished, a pair of Kong Wu's powerful arms suddenly embraced him, and suddenly fell into Murong Xuanpei's arms, which made him stare in surprise, and only listened to Murong Xuanpei's words.

"I want to go with you, I want to reject Huang Yan for you, I..."

Long Yuxin was so surprised and ashamed that her face blushed, she couldn't open her lips.

Murong Xuanpai paused for a moment, then explained to himself: "It's not because of the effect of that bowl of medicinal soup..."

Long Yuxin opened her lips: "You and I have only known each other for a few days..."

Murong Xuanpei replied: "I know! But there is always love at first sight!"

Long Yuxin said again: "I have a bad temper, I am strict, and I have a poisonous tongue at every turn. When I grow old, I will definitely be a weird old man, disturbing your peace..."

Murong Xuanpei answered, "I know how to do laundry, cook, and play music. The upper and lower positions are up to your mood. Even when I'm old, I'll be a little white rabbit by your side."

Long Yuxin gently pushed him half a point away, pointed at him with her index finger, and blurted out: "Are you so happy to end your children and grandchildren?!"

Murong Xuanpei grabbed the hand pointed by Long Yuxin, and said solemnly: "Yes, I am willing." Pulling him into his arms, supporting his shoulders, covering his shoulders with alcohol petals, the continuous firmness made him dizzy , no matter how hard to resist.

Three days later, the two left Yangui Island hand in hand and wandered among the people. A few years later, Long Yuxin went up the mountain to collect medicine and accidentally fell into a cave, and thus found a paradise. She and Murong Xuanpei came here to live in seclusion and named it as Xuanxiu Valley.
