About Loulan and a knife

#. Preface

The day after the wedding, the wife decided to go to Loulan.

A year ago, when we met in Lin'an, she said to me, "I want to see another Loulan." Because Loulan is the name of a city and her name.

It rained on the day she left, and the epomeshi at home was blooming. Bright and bright in the rain.

At that time, I asked her, "Since I decided to go wandering, why don't you wait to come back and get married?"

"If a person wants to wander happily outside, he must first have a home and be able to go back. So," she handed me the oil-paper umbrella, "You have to stay here, don't chase it halfway."

And she walked to the west alone.

When I went back home, I polished an oil lamp in the dark and guarded the epiphrema. The sound of rain was heard outside the window, and the lonely fireworks in front of me seemed to be ayuan

Fate extinction.

When.

The dawn. The oil is exhausted. The lamp is weak. The rain rests.

The epithema coincides with the night rain. If you stay for a few hours, you will be worth a season.

When the chicken crows, the flowers will come to an end.

The most beautiful time for flowers is not in the purple and red. In the morning when it is about to wither, it coincides with a drop of dew

Extra.

Lou Lan

***********************************

Section 1 #.

Two hundred and twenty-seven days later, a man in a hat suddenly came to the house. He was tall and thin and pale; he didn't look at you when he spoke, and his voice was low.

I don't like to listen to his voice; but I'm very focused.

Because he brought a word from his wife--

"If I can't find Loulan, I won't come back."

I wanted to warm a pot of wine for him, but he jumped out of the window after bringing this sentence. In an instant, it disappeared into the night.

I chased him out, hoping to catch up with him. However, in a blink of an eye, only fireflies flew coldly under the dark sky and formed a formation.

Later, I learned that this man's nickname is Night Flying Bat, and he is the ranger with the highest skill in the world.

My name is Lin Xiushu. I am a craftsman.

Three years ago, I cast a pair of Shura knives and gave them to a friend in the world. Then there were some rumors. I also wrote my name on the weapon spectrum.

And I no longer cast swords.

In fact, you can also waste your time, as long as you achieve something.

On the night of the Great Heat that year, I saw the night flying bat for the first time.

After he left, I warmed up a pot of wine and drank it myself. When I drank wet sweat all over, I suddenly decided to cast a sword.

No longer give it to anyone. Because the sword is named Loulan.

It is not as simple as the calculation of a numerology dictionary; every name will have a reason, and it is also doomed to worry somewhere.

It's not as simple as loving someone; every pair of lovers will have a legend, which is also intertwined with a lot of suffering.

Casting a sword is not as simple as beating with raw iron brass; even if you don't use it to kill people, you must embed a sword soul.

I know that the soul of this sword is my soul. In this way, I have a reason to go to her.

Then it began all the way to the west.

To the west——

So at the best time of the day, you can't see the sun at all.

Unless you are willing to turn back.

After autumn, I will meet the night flying bat in the cloudiest hour for three consecutive days.

It's strange that there is absolutely no reason for me to catch up with a ranger who travels thousands of miles at night.

I began to wonder if I saw the wrong person, or that the thin people are very similar now.

"Is it triplets in your house?"

"..."

"Then why did I meet you for three consecutive nights?"

"My eyes are broken, and I have to see three feet in front of me, so I only walk at night. And you travel day and night."

"Can you see farther at night?"

"It's the same three feet. But I can't see the way during the day, but others can see it. It's the same at night. No one can see the way, no one can see anyone.

"Actually, I believe that even if you can't see it, you can still 'hear' it. The sound of bats is supernatural.

"Ec. especially at night."

He was invited to drink that night, but he didn't ask about Loulan.

He is a person with strong self-esteem. When it comes to pain, he is so sad--

"Actually. Even if you only walk for one hour every night, you can't catch up with me. It's just that after autumn, every night on the road, there are always leaves falling on the trees on both sides of the official road. And I can hear the sound of leaves falling. If you want to avoid it, you can't walk too fast.

At the quietest hour of the night, a keen-hearing person like him must be able to hear a lot of sounds. He is like flying, strange and cold.

"And in the stormy wind, it is difficult for you to distinguish whether those flying are fallen leaves or other hidden weapons."

He continued, "Mr. Lin. Many years ago, my eyes... were hurt by fallen leaf darts.

So the stronger the autumn, the slower the pace.

Superstitious people often believe in the spread of hundreds of ghosts at night. The charm rubs the shoulder, and the yang qi is damaged.

The night flying bat has lost weight.

......

Another seven days. Every night, he will wait for me with a pot of wine at the front post station.

One time when I was drunk, I mentioned Lou Lan to him.

He said that on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, my wife saved his life in Liangzhou and gave him a zongzi. In return, he wants to help her bring a sentence to Jiangnan.

"Someone killed you?"

"Yes."

"Your skill is so high that even if you can't kill people, it's not easy to kill you?"

"Easy. Because the other party is also a person with excellent merit.

"Who?"

"Yu Wei."

"Why did she... kill you?"

"Because she killed me... No matter day or night, she is the best in the world."

"Then how can my wife save you?"

"She helped me gossip, and then told Yu Wei that I only have five months to live. Anyway, I can't live this year's white dew."

The wife is not from the world, but no one in the world knows her. Because she is the daughter of the building outside the divine operator building.

She only occupies one gossip every year. She can't occupy herself or her relatives, otherwise she will violate the rules of heaven.

That night, the night flying bat said a lot and drank a lot of wine.

There was a layer of wine red on his pale face.

The next day, I continued to drive west. At night, he was still waiting for me at the front post station.

He didn't drink warmly this night. Maybe he didn't want me to blush.

"Where are you going to go like this?"

"There is no place to go, just follow the official road to the west and then back to the east. I hope I can meet her before Bai Lu.

"Who?"

"Yu Wei."

"Kill her?"

"No, I know that before winter, she must pass by this official road. If I could meet before Bai Lu, I would tell her two things: First, the seven catchers are now gathered in the capital and are about to capture her. Second, I love her."

I didn't expect such a dialogue.

Death or love proposition.

His voice was particularly low, and in his eyes, he could see the cold lake.

I decided to warm a pot of wine, "Xiao Er--"

At this moment, he suddenly stood up and said, "She's nearby! I can hear it!"

"Can you... catch up with her?"

"I can catch up with the light kung fu at night, and I am the highest in the world." The sound remained, and the man had flown out of the window.

I chased out and only saw the fallen leaves flying in formation where he passed.

Originally, there was a sentence I wanted to tell him: if you can't catch up with a woman, it's not how high your skill is.

......

Four hours later, I saw the body of the night flying bat on the roadside.

He could have caught up with him, but the leaves around him fell and disturbed his hearing.

He is determined to be brave, because he is chasing a woman.

But sometimes, the world is cruel. No matter how skillful your skills are, no matter how lonely your personality is, how sad your determination is; when you walk like flying, as long as your skull hits the tree pole, you will die ugly.

Walking in the wind, you should hear the sound of howling like a wolf.

And he told me that practicing light kung fu is to indulge in such a roar.

It's just that the autumn is getting stronger and thicker, and the scattered leaves disturb the square inch of appreciation. Such an alert person, when he takes off his vigilance, a fallen leaf is enough to kill him.

He is only half a miles away from her. I also smelled her hair. Step to the fastest, hit each leaf on the surface

It's like cutting with a knife.

He subconsciously dodged and hit a poplar tree, and his skull was broken, like a flower.

I looked at his body and was speechless for a long time.

It's just white dew. The cold wind blew everywhere. The sky is blue.

I finally know that no matter how high a person's light kung fu and how fast his physical skills are, it will not be as fast as spring and autumn.

***********************************

Section 2#.

On the 22nd, autumn is high.

The skin is anxious and the eyes are distracted. At that time, the west wind is strong. The yellow sand rolled head-on, without scruples.

One hundred and twenty miles south of Chang'an City. Rosefinch Village.

"Whew! What kind of wind blew Mr. Lin to the Despicable Village?

"In the autumn season, the west wind blows all over the wild."

"Is the prince coming to Lin'an?"

"Exact"

"Is it against the wind?"

"Oh. How about it?"

"I'm thinking about the prince's driving, what's going on?"

"After the white dew, the wind and sand are bigger than day by day. At such a time when the wind rises, we can't go any more.

"Son, please--"

"Brother Liang, please--"

The name of the rosefinch owner is Liang Ting'an.

Two years ago in Gusu, he spent 50 gold to ask his wife to take a fortune.

The wife asked him to resign and make land at a high place in the north of the city to build a rosefinch village.

"Life is born in Xuanwu Chaos, Jin is in the West, Ke Mu is a disaster. If there is blood light and the rosefinch is in the south, there is a way to retreat. The main house should be built, covered with glazed glazed and marble steps. Build a Yang canal, plant southern wood, and the pool water is in the east.

"According to this law, you can avoid disasters and accumulate huge wealth."

On the eighth day of the fifth month of that year, the emperor's document came to the anti-thief in Chang'an lieutenant's mansion, and his crime should be killed.

Yan Yun held the Book of the Son of Heaven and killed 240 officials and servants overnight.

"Liang avoided this disaster and all occupied the prince to save him. Now I'm at ease here. Qianzhuang's business is prosperous, and it's also a huge amount of money. I really appreciate it.

"It's a clumsy calculation, not to mention that mortals have their own destiny. The owner didn't go all the way. It's a lot of words to say so. Er... There is another question I want to ask the landlord, I don't know if Zhuojing has ever visited Baozhuang this year?

"I haven't seen it."

Later, I learned that Liang Ting'an lied that day.

In fact, my wife came here and planted a pool of night lotus in the village.

This is recorded in the feng shui book: when the lotus meets the water vine, it should relieve the night evil and control all kinds of harms. Daliyang House.

I stopped by the pool that night and felt ambiguous. In the late autumn, the pool is already empty and the moon shadow is lonely.

If you look at it wirelessly, you will go to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, the whole Zhuquezhuang had turned gray. The corpses were scattered on the ground and couldn't bear to see them.

There is only one guest room, isolated by the pool. The pearls in the village were looted, and Liang Ting'an's head was placed in a conspicuous place in the ruins, with blood coagulation at the corners of his mouth.

The government hasn't arrived yet, and it is expected that she is still waiting for me.

Wu Li Road on the northwest slope, the air outlet.

"When you see the white ash of the lamp, you will know that it's the smoke under you."

"I don't want you to see what I don't do with you."

"Why, it's so spicy."

"You know, the Ministry of Criminal Justice issued a document, and the seven arresters in Kyoto are pouring out. I'm afraid that they won't find me."

"If you take people's money, why take people's lives?"

"Unfortunately, last night, these pairs of Shura knives whispered secretly. So I got it."

She told me later. Killing people is not related to the silence of the Shura knife. It's Liang Ting'an who deceived me.

The light of the knife that night was just a bright excuse.

He started a fire and thought that it had become ruins from then on.

But she didn't know that in the spring and summer, the barren pool water will be full of night lotus. Man but not demon, the prosperity of life.

Some signs are difficult to eliminate, because you can't detect them at all. Those, the dark surges silently under the gorgeous and beautiful colors.

Just like the edge of the Shura knife coming out of the sheath, what Liang Ting'an saw was only a strong illusion.

"Yi Yu. I regret giving you a knife that day.

"Lin Xiushu. I also regret that I went to your boat that night.

......

Fourteen years of Yongzhao.

The day of the Waking of Insects. Taihu Lake. Plum rain.

Yu Yan was chased and killed by the government and walked away on the water. I boarded my painting for no reason.

The official ship leaned up, and she sneaked into my bed.

That night, the red candle burned the tent. I pulled out the flying knife embedded in the shoulder blade for her, and the collarbone was beautiful. I didn't touch her because I didn't bring an umbrella that day.

At that time, in Liuqiao, Wuxi, another woman held up an oil umbrella and waited for me. I decided to marry her.

......

"Yu Wei. If you stop at night, the night flying bat may not die. He just wants to say a few words, but you don't want to listen.

Let's talk about it. In fact, I know that people have a destiny when they are born or when they die.

And if you wander between drunken life and death, you will lose the possibility of fate.

The wife once said: fate is in life, not in life. The fate can be calculated, but the opportunity cannot be created.

If you meet a favorite person, don't force it to ask for it, and then fall in love.

"I can't even hear the wind, and I still listen to what he says; if the solar terms don't wait for him, why should I wait?"

Yu Wan read my name gently: "Xiu," she asked me, "Do you know... What is drunken life and death?"

I think. If someone loses his destination on the other side, he will forget his way.

"Yi Yu, I'm really annoyed with you Jianghu people. It's clear that you want him to die, but now you pretend to recite the Buddha here.

"Oh." He smiled contemptuously: "It's your wife's death. What does it have to do with me?"

The sky is red and gray, and the breeze is cold. The distant mountains are sparse, and there are three or five dead trees.

The season is really a mysterious time difference. It should be white dew, but it can't be the autumn equinox. The lotus wither, but you don't believe in white chrysanthemum.

No cloud. Looking up at the lonely geese and missing the south flight season. Just wandering, drunk and dreaming to death.

"I'm with you. If only God had given a deadline. Xiu, these Shura machetes hiss every night. Only when you are around can you be quiet.

Emanthennial for seventeen years.

Autumn Equinox Day. Outside Chang'an City, the eastern suburbs. First sunny.

This day, Yu Wei put away a pair of Shura knives and said to me:

"Show. Why don't we fall in love?"

And this is the second time I rejected her.

***********************************

Section 3#.

After this beacon, it is the desert.

I know she will appear again. And I will move forward.

She said she wanted us to fall in love. So he followed in the dark. I can't see it, and I can't change it.

It's a long way to get to Loulan. Every time I'm tired, I stop to warm the wine. Will Yu Wan drink in the dark?

Two people fall in love with each other, which is actually a very arbitrary thing. There is no reason and no discussion.

Yu Yan was originally just a thief. Since I gave her Shura's double knife, she began to be infatuated with killing. Maybe I really shouldn't, and I'm afraid that she will be chased and killed by the officers and soldiers.

I will remember this scene until now--

One day, she stepped on the water, dressed in white and snow, and the blood stains on her shoulders slowly dripped all the way and stained with red.

On my wedding day, she didn't give a gift. Instead, I gave her two knives.

What she didn't expect was that she killed a lot of people and cut a lot of blades in three years. It's still the love of that night.

My wife said before that she was in Kaifeng, Henan. There is a guillot that can be ruthless.

Unfortunately, everyone is not on the way.

***********************************

Section 4#.

The 17th. At noon. Overcast.

Border.

There are many old, young and women kneeling down on the city platform. They all wore high braids and were dressed in trash.

The wind and sand are not big, the corners of their mouths are cracked, and their eyes are also scarlet.

There are no restraints on hands and feet, but they don't move.

The group of Totols knelt for two days and three nights. Just ask the government for his kindness so that they can see the captured young man.

Live to see people, die or see corpses.

Three days ago, Sutu's horse was shocked and disrupted the ceremonial array of officers and soldiers. Su Tu was beaten to death, and the whip was as long as an ox cart.

All the men rose up to resist, only one came back, and they didn't live the sunset. Four people were killed in the battle, and the remaining 19 were arrested by officers and soldiers. It is said that he will be beheaded at noon today.

Old and young and women kneel silently like this. Waiting or begging, sensational ceremony.

And I also paused and watched silently. The officers and soldiers wanted to see the spy, so I gave it.

There are no more words.

Noon. Several men in black rode horses and came out of the city with long guns.

I know that they are Yanyun Eighteen Riders.

I bowed my head and walked on the road and stopped looking. Because I know that there will be no life for eighteen riders.

There is a kind of person in the world who is naturally addicted to killing. The day he stopped was when he was killed.

"And you are not, Yu Yan."

"At that time, I hid in the crowd and saw my hands falling, and the blood was beautiful. When the gun passed through, I heard an ethereal sound. No one cried or laughed.

She said, "The blood splashed on the fine sand, and there was also a sound. The horse's hoof stepped on it and left a deep mark. The more messy it is, the more beautiful it is. A child was crushed under his mother and was killed by a horse. At that time, I turned around and saw your back.

"Show, you dare not turn back at all."

"I'm going to Loulan."

On that day, in fact, I still looked back; but Yu Yan didn't see it.

The corpses on the ground are messy and messy. On the platform, the high-hanging head is still dripping blood. The wind blows like the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the wind stops, the blood also dries up. The remnants on the ground have been covered by fine sand.

She stood in the deserted sand dunes, carrying a pair of Shura knives, and she was thin.

The moonlight in the desert is desolate.

"I'll find the wood and raise a fire."

"No need. I'm not cold."

"Uh... I want it. It's cold."

In fact, I want to warm the wine to make a fire, not to worry about her coldness and warmth. It's useless for you to worry about someone who doesn't know whether she is cold or warm.

And when I came back, she was no longer there.

Drinking alone. Suddenly, I heard the camel bells flying in the distance, and I thought of the epitama at home.

I am a craftsman. My name is Lin Xiushu. For a sword soul, I must find Lou Lan.

***********************************

Section 5#.

The eleventh day after the autumn equinox.

The first snow fell in the desert.

There was no one all the way. Because I couldn't see the sun, I began to worry that I would get lost.

I know that Yu Yu must confront me somewhere. Follow or go forward, walk or wait. It will always appear and disappear at the right time. There is no surprise or surprise.

Sometimes, I also miss her. It's like a sudden thought of epilepter that night.

In the coldest weather, hide in the weathered rocks. If you can't heat up, you can't warm the wine. The colder the cold, the more intense the alcohol addiction. Only hugging can relieve this kind of suffering.

So I listened quietly, hoping to hear the hiss of Shura's double knives.

However, only in the snowy days in the desert, when you calm down, you will hear the sound of snow falling from the sand dunes. Even if the wind is strong, the fall is always a gentle melody. It's not like the resentment of the blade at all.

On the day I got out of the customs, the local old man told me that only those who were about to freeze to death could hear the melody of snowflakes.

I don't know if I'm appreciating or counting down. When it fell, the wind and snow was over.

Just like watching the flowers, open a petal, and it will be short for a moment.

Most of the wind and snow are not suitable for calculation. Listen and look at the board, and it's false.

The snow falls on the palm, but it is a detailed touch. The melted water spreads on the lifeline and is clearly visible.

I don't remember how long I have been here. Once I woke up late at night and heard the sound of breathing. Slowly, it gets closer and closer, and finally we have to hug together.

I read Yu Wei's name in a daze. Because when I got close, I could clearly smell the sandalwood.

It was not until dawn that the thin man could be seen clearly.

From now on, I hate the night of wind and snow.

"I'm a man, and many people call me Shuibo. I have walked this road for 20 years. Selling silk from the south of the Yangtze River, and then bringing back spices from the Western Regions..."

"Water Bo, do you know how to get to Loulan?"

"I don't know. All I know is that there is a deep lake to the west. The lake is the color of the sky. When you get to the lake, it's not far from Loulan.

"This lake... Have you ever been there?"

"No, I've been looking for it for 20 years and I've never seen it."

"Shui Bo, then... Have you ever seen a woman with her hair hanging over her shoulders, her eyebrows are as beautiful as a crescent moon, but her face is pale. If you talk to her, she shouldn't. Just bow your head to the west."

"Every woman who wants to go to Loulan looks like this."

"I know. I'm about to cast such a sword.

Do not show murderous spirit, do not resentment, domineering, do not show sharpness. The idiot held it into his hand, and only a little blue appeared under the sky and moonlight.

"I have a piece of Shangpin palm wood, which is produced from Tianzhu. If the prince has a good price, is it suitable to use this wood as a scabbard? If I add 80 gold, I will be made by a Persian craftsman. With the mysterious gold inlaid glass, in the name of the dragon ink book sword... What do you think?"

"Water Bo. I finally know why you have spent 20 years still unable to find Loulan.

In fact, he doesn't know the sword, let alone Lou Lan.

And I didn't say it either.

Later, Yu Yan killed him. At the moment before Shuibo's death, I forgave him when I saw his eyes. Because he told me that I could see a lake. A little blue appeared under the sky and moonlight.

I never said it. Such a sword cannot be bound with a scabbard. There is no need to engrave the name.

The heaviest defense is not the performance of the scabbard. It's unforgettable, but in fact, it's just a little blue.

I have never told Yu Wei about all these things. Because her scabbards are exquisite, I carved Sanskrit.

However, Yu Wei didn't tell me that it was not that he didn't know the sword to kill Shuibo.

But one day on a snowy night, this man once hugged me for a long time.

A few years ago, my wife told me that the five elements are golden, and they are aquatic. But if there is a water situation, you will meet a noble person.

That night, if Uncle Shui didn't show up, maybe I would freeze to death. And if he hadn't met me, he wouldn't have died under the Shura knife.

So.

"It snowed heavily that night, and I was still on my way. I just can't find you, because no matter how many footprints have been filled with snowflakes. Xiu, I didn't expect that you spent the night with a man.

***********************************

Section 6#.

Spending a night with a person does not mean that you love him.

After that, she tried to walk with me. And I still refuse.

Rejecting a person does not mean that you are disgusted.

I'm just afraid that on the night when the snow falls, the hug is too tight, and there will be an illusion of love.

She put down her long hair, lowered her shoulders, and her face turned pale.

Twelve days. Sunny.

The age is too small, and the flies are present. It is advisable to travel far away and avoid praising the scriptures.

The snow gradually melts, and the water gathers in the sand dunes.

There is a woman wearing a veil, lying on her hunchback. The camel was drinking water, and she stroked the fluff on its neck.

So I leaned forward and asked her where Lou Lan was going. But what she said, I couldn't understand.

Through the green gauze, you can't see her clearly. She is barefoot and has a silver bell on her ankle. It's so wonderful.

Worried that she would catch a cold, he gave her a pair of flint.

When she left, she played the Qiang flute. The wind is far away.

Thirteen days. Sunny.

The crown falls, and the star is on duty. If there is blood, it is appropriate to fast.

At noon, I saw Yu Wei.

She was alone in the sand dunes and did not move. Half a miles away, I have seen her.

The red-gray sunlight can't hide the stunning knife light.

She wears black clothes, so no matter how strong the sky is, no matter how bright the knife light is, it can't illuminate the blood stains on her body.

She was bruised all over and stood against the knife. He gasped like an orchid, the tip of the knife was inserted into the sand, and the blood slowly penetrated into the yellow sand with the arc of the blade.

An hour ago. Seven famous arresters ambushed her twenty miles away. She killed two people and began to run away.

"If the rest of the people come after you," her eyes slowly moved to the distant vision: "Show. Will you save me?"

I didn't answer her. Because in the desert, you can't find a flower boat at all, and there is no red candle curtain to hide.

I just stand in place and watch.

In the sky after the snow, the cumulus clouds turn into snow, so there is no trace. Between me and Yu Wei, there is a gully carved by melting water.

Application time. The sun is bright and warm.

The catcher didn't chase her, or he couldn't find her. When the cactus bloomed, the blood on her body stopped.

I didn't expect that a snowstorm would not destroy it.

She was still standing alone, with blood stains on her wrist and blade. I began to hold her tightly from behind, and the skin on her neck and ears was extremely cold. The hair is grinding.

Both of them are quiet and have never moved.

Even with this kind of hug. What I'm thinking is another woman. I remember that when I was studying in a private school, my husband said that epilebana and cactus belong to the same family.

Youshi. At dusk, the remaining sun shines.

There is only a little blue left in the luster of Yu Yan's beautiful hair.

The woman with a hunchback passed by, the camel bumped a step, and the silver bell on her feet would jingle.

She stopped and raised a bonfire for us.

After she left, the sound of the flute spread far away.

***********************************

Section 7#.

Many people say that it is very painful to fall in love with someone.

In fact, this is not the case.

When Lin Xiushu hugged me from behind that day, I suddenly felt extremely light. It seems that he will fall when he leaves his arms.

The desert is like a deep lake. Swing into it and forget to break the way back.

I know that he is looking for another woman; his hope is also another flower fragrance.

But at this moment, the tip of his nose quietly touched the back of my neck. Warm and ambiguous.

This feeling is familiar. Or before, or later. In my life, there is no time.

Show.

You don't know. Only at the critical moment, the accompaniment of a hug is better than the magnificence of moth rescue.

There is no dry, cold and warm season, and there is no dry day and dark.

This night, a camel came. A woman in a veil wiped a bonfire.

I thought about killing her, but I didn't do it.

Because I can't live without your hug.

I'm Yu Wei. I am a thief. Many people say that I am the best in the world.

So the body is like a floating cloud, and the heart is like flying catkins.

Emanthennial for seventeen years.

October 13th, three o'clock.

The west wind is cloudless, and the moon will be full.

I leaned against Lin Xiushu's arm and was silent and angry.

***********************************

Section 8#.

The thicker the moonlight, the darker the bonfire will be. And her body began to cool down little by little.

There is always a legend about the tribes in the desert. It is said that when a person is about to die, the messenger of death will raise a fire for you to reflect the last longevity.

Several times, I want to add firewood. Yu Wei didn't let me go.

The cold is getting worse and worse. It turns out that the desert is really like a deep lake.

The moonlight shines on the beauty of a pair of Shura knives. No matter how dazzling it is, it is also deserted.

I suddenly thought of the night flying bat, Liang Ting'an, the slaughtered Totor people, and the waterbo who died in vain. There are too many killings along this journey.

When you think you are numb, it's time to say goodbye. When the flute sounded, the lake rippled.

Is the vision of blooming after the snow close to Loulan?

Guarding her, for fear of making a night's epilebula.

"Show..."

She spoke in a very soft voice.

"I finally understand... Why did you go to Loulan?"

She turned her delicate figure and held her in her arms. On her pale face, there was a light blue.

She looked up and thought that my eyes were her moonlight.

I wanted to kiss her, but they were in a stalemate. There is only a surging of meditation in an instant.

Sometimes a person is too obsessed and often falls into tragedy. For example, the fate of night flying bats.

The group of Totol people, waiting for fate with a negative attitude. And this is also humble.

Only at this moment of ambiguity, one inch forward is the eye of the wind, retreating to enjoy the full moon.

I'm afraid that the moonlight like water tonight will turn into a pale streamer sand tomorrow.

I've been holding her tightly. He refused to let go, nor did he get close to it.

Bloody and fragrant sandalwood. The lonely sand dunes are gorgeous and fiery.

The quiet confrontation of a pair of Shura knives is peerless and lonely.

Cacti flowers nearby, deep white.

***********************************

Section 9#.

My name is Li Sao. Many years ago, I was a tiff in the court.

At that time, there were seven of us.

Yanfeng, business girl, jian jia, pang, Qin cocoon, me, and my husband, Jiu Ge.

In the seventeenth year of Yongzhao, we were chasing a thief named Yu Yan. It is said that she has high light skills, and a pair of Shura knives are used like the wind.

In fact, everyone who has stayed in the court knows that no matter how high a person's skill is, no matter how fast a knife is, no matter how many treasures he steals; as long as she doesn't go into the palace to assassinate; if she doesn't encourage bandits to rebel, she will never disturb the whole world.

I remember that time, it was Shang Shulang who passed the imperial edict.

It is said that there is a hidden map on Yu Yu's body. If you get this picture collection, Wang Shi can break Loulan.

On the way, I once asked Jiuge, "Where is Loulan? Why is the emperor so careful?

He said he didn't know. I only heard that the people who went there didn't want to go back.

"The emperor sits and enjoys the country, hand/** the world. In fact, he has everything, but he lacks a quiet place and can rest in peace.

Later, I learned that in March of the 16th year, the emperor personally conquered the Western Turks. The great victory of the valley rain will return in July.

On the way back, the emperor met a woman who was divination.

It rained that day, and I was in the Xuanyuan Palace with 16 horses. Through the window, I couldn't tell the rainwater from the bead curtain at all. She only stayed in the palace for a moment and said the next secret:

Ninety-five middle Yi, ninety-nine is hope; Kanglong is extremely strong, and there is also a period of regret.

After saying that, he went away.

The formation of thousands of horses and thousands of troops is majestic and cold. She opened an oil umbrella and walked quietly like a lotus. The drizzle is falling,

One shoulder is wet.

As she said. Whether you are a farmer or an emperor. In this life, there are always places that you want to go but can't go; there are always people who want to stay but can't stay.

And the emperor caught up with him, not to stay.

"No one heard the emperor talking to her. After that, the woman walked alone. And the disease of the emperor was left on this way.

"You have to capture Yu Wan before you can break Loulan as soon as possible."

Let's talk about it. In fact, if you can't capture Yu Yan, you can't break Loulan, you have nothing to do with me. It's just that people are in their place, and they should do their best.

I chased for five months.

During the period, there is a snow, two seasons. Across the six counties of Xizhou, he exchanged five spies. Everyone changes to four mounts. Twenty-nine inns, seven thousand miles.

Later, a man named Lin Xiushu asked me: This is an official's job. Why should I be so responsible?

I don't think he knows how responsible he is for one thing. That doesn't mean you love him.

And you really fall in love, but you can't do it.

Caught in such a deep loneliness, it is difficult to calm down. If you go in, it's not hard to retreat.

I said to Lin Xiushu, why don't you listen to me first?

***********************************

Section 10#.

That day, I held Yu Yan tightly in my arms. If I let go, I'm afraid she will fly away.

When the sky begins to be hazy, it is extremely cold. Suddenly, yellow sand rose in the distance, accompanied by the sound of sword collision.

Approaching.

So I held it tighter. Her breath is weak, and there is cream on her eyelashes.

- "If you kiss her, the frost will melt. Because tears are hot.

A woman suddenly appeared behind me! Hide like a ghost.

Hugging is a very personal thing, and it's always unpleasant to be disturbed: "Oh. Seeing that the corners of your eyes are red, I think you like to cry very much.

"My husband died yesterday." She was silent for a moment and replied slowly, "She killed it."

"I don't know if she will die at sunrise. But I think this is by no means a suitable time for killing.

"Actually, the seven of us are just routine. It was this female thief who killed too much and fought for her life. The fish died and the net was broken, and the blood debt was paid off.

"Lord Li, you have never been a thief, and you don't know how to be a thief. She said before that with so many people with knives, how do you know which one is going to kill you and which one wants to save you; which one is looking for personal hatred and which one is doing business.

***********************************

Section 11#.

I didn't kill her at that time because I was envious.

I envy a wandering woman who can wither in the arms of her lover until she dies.

Extremely cold. On her pale face, there was a little blue. In my opinion, it is particularly delicate and charming.

The most beautiful time for flowers is not in the prosperity of purple and red. In the morning when it is about to wither, it happens to be a drop of dew.

The bloody battle in the distance must be flying and bloody. But it's not what I care about. What I care about has been cut off by those Shura knives.

So from now on, there will be no problem. I don't feel guilty anymore.

I told him. Mr. Lin, why don't you listen to me first?

The first year of marriage with Jiu Ge was nominal. In fact, the reason is very simple. At that time, I didn't even do monthly affairs. How can I do it**?

The next year, I became his wife. For the next hundred months, I asked myself infinitely if I loved this man.

In the 101st month, I thought there was an answer. At that time, I was chasing Cui Donghe, who was known as the "Goreo Blood Hand". When he chased to the Yalu River, the thief set up an ambush. Unfortunately, he was captured and humiliated.

Fortunately, a few days later, he died of heatstroke. I beheaded him and lied about the triumph.

However, the internal precepts were strict, and when I arrived, the time limit had been delayed. According to the example, you should break an arm. In front of the right prime minister, Jiu Ge broke his left arm. It's a knife drawn from my waist.

Actually, I know, he knows.

One hundred and one month. He can't understand a woman's heart, but he knows this body like the back of his hand.

And then everything is as usual.

I have been infinitely grateful and had the illusion of falling in love. It was not until later that I realized that when you really love someone, you will only be intoxicated and will not be grateful.

Two people fall in love with each other, which is actually a very arbitrary thing. There is no reason and no discussion.

No matter how good he is, it doesn't mean that they love each other. He can cut off one of his arms, but what he can't get is my heart.

" Mr. Lin. Am I a bad woman like this?

Lin Xiushu didn't answer me, but just looked down at the woman in his arms. Embrace warmth, just like a mattress.

Jiu Ge was punished with a broken arm. He said, "You are my wife, so I will be responsible for you all my life."

And he couldn't even give me a hug.

"You know. If you lose the hug, the woman will die.

Whether she is a flying thief or a catcher, she is destined to be full of attachment only at the moment of guilty. The measurement of a pair of arms is long. No matter how tolerant it is, it is not luxurious.

That's it.

As for the track, that's what happened later.

Sometimes, I really don't think people should be too close to people. If you leave, it is a kind of ** coincidence.

As the distance is close, it is inevitable that sparks will come out. I'm afraid of heatstroke in summer; in winter... there are even more inexplicable dangers. If you don't believe it, go and ask Uncle Shui.

But this time, Shang Shulang made the seven of us pour out. In fact, we don't know each other, but there is a signboard.

Pursue along the way and look for clues. Sometimes when we are tired, we will sit together and talk. Although it is not to the point, it is always a pleasant conversation.

But there are two people who have never opened their mouths.

I always thought he was dumb, because he never said a word. He only cares about bowing his head and drinking horses, and his face is lonely. Later, I learned that he was actually a countryman, afraid that we would laugh at him for not having a bad accent.

There is another woman named Shang Nv, who wears cyan clothes. Keep your nails very long and apply cyan flower fat. Demonic. She didn't say a word. Every time we sat down to talk, she took a corner and played the guzheng.

Up to now, I don't know if she is dumb or not. But her internal skills must be very good. Because such a petite woman, no matter when and wherever she sits or rides a horse, she always carries a guzheng. Extremely heavy.

When he was in Jindi, Yu Yan appeared. Originally, we could catch up with her, but there was a little accident.

"How to say?"

At that time, we acted separately, and the wind, the dragonfly and the cocoon chased after her. Two mutes and my husband and I took a detour and intercepted the Yanmen Pass.

The big name of the four of us is really galloping. I thought she was doomed, but I was wrong...

Even if a woman is an official to the fourth grade and has strong martial arts skills, she will also have dysmenorrhea...

Between the severe pain, the road is bumpy. Distrayed, he accidentally loosened the reins and fell from the horse's back.

The other three riders stopped. Jiu Ge looked at my injury. Seeing that I couldn't continue on my way, he hurriedly wiped the blood stains on my body. His eyebrows were anxious, as if it hurt him.

I asked the three of them to just go forward and don't have to worry about me.

After listening, he raised the whip and went away.

The businesswoman was very indifferent and didn't look at it, as if she hadn't heard it at all. Leaning on a pine and cypress alone, flirting with a guzheng.

The pine forest is lush, and the nails are green. The green dress is beautiful, and E's eyebrows are also blue. It's already a waste of autumn, and this scene is very beautiful.

It's just that the string music is confused, and I don't know who I'm annoyed with. It seems to be nameless, swollen and poisonous, snakes and ants are entangled, indomitable, and there is no peace.

If I were a man, I would try to find her mother's deep friendship.

Jiu Ge squatted and whispered in my ear: You are my wife, and I will be responsible for you.

The pain is so great that I don't even have the strength to get up. I really hope there is a place where I can look back. And this is a responsibility that he can no longer complete.

After three quarters of an hour, he came back.

Originally, he did not rush to Yanmen Mountain, but to the pharmacy in the town. He rolled up my trousers, applied safflower oil for me, and gently rubbed the wound on my calf.

Jiu Ge separated his hand, "Thank you very much. It's up to me."

In fact, he knew that when he held me up, he still had to walk. Because there are some things that can't be done.

At that time, I remembered the two hands. Strong and warm.

He gently put me down the horse's horse. The first time I heard him say, "slowly, don't be afraid."

A ridiculous accent and a ridiculous sentence. A murderous woman sees more blood than the sun. I really don't know what else I'm afraid of.

Lin Xiushu suddenly raised his head: "What you are afraid of is just a solid hug."

***********************************

Section 12#.

Later, I learned that there were actually motherwort and snow lotus seeds hidden on my body that day.

Three quarters of an hour, 70 miles to and from. He ran to the pharmacy in the town and used his unspeakable accent for a bottle of ointment, two types of gynecological medicine.

He didn't take it out because he knew that Jiu Ge was very responsible.

After that, on the quiet hill, I often hugged me and listened to the wind. On September 22nd, when Yu Yan killed and set fire in Zhuquezhuang, in fact, we were still on the high cliff.

When working in the court, some things should not be too full of responsibility, not to mention the bitterness of the late night.

A bird's-eye view of the burning formation of the villa from a high place, and the firelight is beautiful. We blushed and looked happy.

"Why don't you arrest her?"

"I hope this pursuit can last a little longer."

"Li Sao," he called my name in his ear, "where are you going to stop all the way? Why don't you go to Loulan with me? This... is my dream."

I really wanted to refuse him at that time, because I felt that a man's dream should not be too rich. Too complete persistence will become an additional responsibility.

"Just like my husband, just like Mr. Lin."

I'm actually a quite simple woman. Every time I lean in my arms, I feel like I'm in Loulan.

The adultery between me and Li Yan has never been broken. Because there is no adultery at all.

Lin Xiushu laughed contemptuously.

"It's just that I'm attached to another man's arms, what kind of adultery is it?" I said, "If so, have you been adulterous all night?"

This body was once touched by Cui Donghe. As a result, my husband broke his arm and lost the ability to hug. If I go further, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold hands.

"I'm really annoyed with you people. First, he said that you don't love your husband, and now he is crying again.

"Ms. Lin, I thought you knew. Holding hands or hugging is really not love.

There has never been love, no adultery, and no responsibility. I'm so addicted to such ambiguity. Although the journey of seven thousand miles is difficult, some responsibilities are being borne, and some hugs are being given.

I only occasionally catch a glimpse of a strange blue, inexplicably frightened.

In the snowy weather that day, the seven of us were in Jinghou Mansion. Standing on the city platform, I saw snow and yellow sand.

Jinghou said, "The Great Wall is firmly guarded, which can make the emperor free from the sun. We will do our best when we die."

Jiu Ge knelt on one knee and raised his glass with one arm: "The marquis led eighteen horses to guard the border gate and was loyal to the court. This is the leader and the leader of the horse. Congratulations to the marquis for a thousand years!"

I don't like to watch Jiu Ge's serious posture. You are working for the court, why do you have to do this? What's more, Jinghou kills a few Totol people, even if he is loyal?

The six of us had to kneel down and raise our glasses to drink.

"The marquis is thousands of years old!"

Cold snow, warm wine.

On the stone steps of the city platform, I faintly saw dried blood marks.

Jinghou turned around, and his eyebrows were white. He couldn't tell whether it was snowflakes or years.

***********************************

Section 13#.

At night. Jiu Ge slept very deeply. I'm used to his snoring, and I'm used to not sleeping in his snoring.

At the third update, the shoes had not knocked on the window lattice.

I felt very cold, so I began to hold Jiu Ge from behind. His fingers gently stroked the incision of his broken arm and tossed and turned.

It suddenly occurred to me that in the last one hundred and forty-three months, I owed him a hug.

Some people are like this. Every time, they always think that they can't give it to you. And you are willing to give it only when it is the coldest and you can't find anywhere else.

"I hold him tightly, just like you are now," I said to Lin Xiushu, "I can't tell whether it's love or resentment, guilty or compensation."

Jiu Ge must be having a nightmare that day, otherwise his heart would not be beating wildly.

Later, the shoes still came, and I still followed him.

Before leaving, I covered the quilt for Jiuge for the first time. I'm afraid that he will get cold - because there is a tear of mine on his naked/naked shoulder blade.

At that time, the snow was heavy, and the four fields were quiet. I asked if I could hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the sand dunes. But he told me that he heard the marquis discussing with the Turks about raising troops to rebel.

I told Jiu Ge the next day. I advised him not to be too responsible. He said that people should do their best when they are in their position.

So the flying pigeon passed on the book.

After the snow stops, we will continue on the road. On the way, I met a woman wearing an anklet. She was riding a white camel, her eyes were hidden under the veil, and the sound of the flute was sad and sad.

It is the direction she told us about Yu Wei.

I didn't expect Yu Yu's knife to be so fast, otherwise he would not die at all.

We surrounded Yu Wei in the center, and she had no power to counter it at all. It is like a trapped beast, but it can only fight hard. Maybe it was bullying Jiu Ge's disabled, and Yu Yan's offensive focused on him.

If I sacrifice my life to separate that knife, Jiu Ge may not die. But I died so suddenly that I was a little confused.

After looking at his body, I found that he suffered a fatal knife for the businesswoman.

Yu Yan took advantage of the situation to escape, but the businesswoman fell on Jiu Ge's body and sobbed. The other three people looked solemn, wiped the blood stains on their bodies and stopped talking.

The businesswoman quietly stroked Jiuge's face and chest with her turquoise fingers. She just choked and didn't have tears.

I don't know what to do. I want to collect the body for him. The businesswoman suddenly separated my hand and didn't allow me to touch him. It seems that Jiu Ge is her husband.

That was the first time I heard her speak - she stuck to Jiu Ge's ear. Feel the residual temperature of the body with your forehead and dip it on

On his blood. She said, "This Guzheng, without your chords, there will only be annoying noise."

If you break this guzheng, you will no longer miss it.

It turned out that the voice of the businesswoman was so pleasant, neither humble nor arrogant, neither surprised nor surprised, neither resentful nor resentful.

And I could hear that the sadness was so deep.

It turned out that Jiu Ge and the businesswoman had been adulterous for a long time.

I have never known how to fall in love with someone, so I am the only one in the world who knows nothing about it. On those boring nights, they will see that the businesswoman spreads out a guzheng, and my husband uses a wonderful one arm to share her chords.

The moonlight is like the flame of the sun, which is clear to the eyes. But I lay down in another man's arm, with Loulan's fairy tale. Until a little blue appeared in the middle of the eyebrows.

The businesswoman said to me coldly: You think he loves you very much. In fact, it's just responsible for one person. You think he is very responsible. In fact, to put it bluntly, but people are in his position.

I feel very uncomfortable after listening to it. Only in an instant, two men related to me suddenly disappeared. It turns out that they don't belong to me, even if it's a temporary pleasure, or a whole old memorial.

I used to regard my arms as my Loulan. Jiu Ge... Although you can't give me a hug, you can give me a home.

In fact, the sun was very good yesterday, but I always felt that the water was shrouded.

If a person wants to get something, he must learn to give.

And if a person wants to hide it, she must not be able to see through too much.

I said to the jia: Take me to Loulan.

He said: When I was a child, I chased a woman. Her family lives on the other side of the water. I have been traveling backwards, hoping to catch up with her. I don't know how dangerous it is to travel all the way. Later, I found that no matter how hard I tried, she was in the middle of the water.

As I walked, I was thinking about his sentences. I began to suspect that he was a psychopath.

Then he said to Qin cocoon: Why don't you give me a home and we'll stop.

He said: My home is just a small cocoon. If you come in, two people are bound to squeeze together. I'm afraid I will get heatstroke. Why don't you wait for me to turn into a butterfly...

I didn't even think about it, so I made sure that he was insane.

So I began to talk to Yan Feng, and I want to be more direct. I said: It's better for us to fall in love.

But he is more direct. He said: I'm sorry, I'm not disabled.

......

"So. Now. Mr. Lin, why don't we fall in love?"

***********************************

Section 14#.

I don't know if every hit woman talks nonsense.

I sympathize with her, want to comfort her, and also want to give her a warm hug. But in my arms, there is also Yu Yan.

When I buried her, Li Sao's tears dried up.

In the last two hours of Yu Yan's life, I accompanied her to listen to a story. I just don't know how much she has heard and how much she understands.

I buried the pair of Shura knives together and buried them under the white petals of the cactus. Maybe it was because the evil spirit of the Shura knife was too heavy, and the flowers withered.

When I put down the last grain of sand.

Li Sao said to me, "It's not far. There are still a few corpses that can be buried.

I saw a blue businesswoman. If she was washed with blood stains, she must be very beautiful. Her fingers are slender and long. I imagine the way she flirts with strings. It must be like a magic dance.

It must be very miserable when he dies, and his eyes are distorted. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth. I don't know if I saw his Yiren.

The head that was cut off is a wind. His skin is very white, and I guess he must have loved to be clean when he was alive.

As for Qin cocoon, he really opened a pair of arms, like butterfly wings, and rushed into the horizon from then on.

"It was very windy and snowy that day. The carrier pigeon released by Jiuge failed to fly a miles away and fell down. Jinghou knew that the conspiracy had been exposed, but he had to kill us.

Yanyun's eighteen horses came out, but only five of the seven famous catchers were left. He killed the four people, but fled for Li Sao.

This time, I fell into a trap with her. I should have killed her, but I found that she was already a crazy woman.

Her hair hangs down her shoulders, her face is as pale as paper, and her eyebrows are as beautiful as a crescent moon. When you talk to her, she doesn't pay attention to you.

She just keeps repeating three sentences:

"Why don't we go to Loulan?"

"It's better to give me a home."

"It's better for us to fall in love."

The leader of the 18 riders, Thin Jie, told me, "Don't be afraid. We meet two or three such women every year. Get used to it, and it will be fine."

They didn't kill her because it was meaningless.

Originally, I thought that the Eighteen Rider was not human at all, but I thought it was hypothet.

I really want to buy them a drink, but obviously I can't afford it.

In fact, sometimes there are some benefits of having more people, not as lonely as me. Although I can't afford to buy a drink, I still want to wish them a smooth conspiracy.

One of them is named Lei Feng, which is very easy to get along with. During the parting, he kept asking me if I had any instructions.

I thought about it for a long time and told him that if he went to the south of the Yangtze River, he would remember to go to my house to see the pot of epileak.

***********************************

The last chapter #.

A few days later, I met the woman who wore the bell and veil again.

She gave the Qiang flute and camel to Liu Sao, then took off the veil and put it on Liu Sao. And tell her when and where she can drink water or make a fire in the future; show her the way in time, or say goodbye.

Many years later, I still don't know who this woman is.

I once asked her why I didn't speak the language I understood when we first met.

She asked me where my hometown was. She said that you can't even forget the local accent, so you can't find Loulan.

I finally know why my wife won't go home.

I asked her if she had met my wife.

She said that when she saw the flowing sand a few months ago, a person was buried as a whole, leaving only long hair, spread out, as if flowers were blooming.

Maybe it's dead. Maybe that's the way to Loulan. Many people say that there is a blue lake that can walk, and the lake water will move wherever the sand goes. When I found the lake, I arrived at Loulan.

That night, I stayed in her tent.

Her skin is very smooth, her hugs are tight, and her kisses are very warm.

When I was closest to her, I seemed to hear the ripples of the lake. He was calm, but it was clear that the foot bell was jingling.

After the event, she said that there should be a map on Yu Yu's body, which indicated where Loulan was. Ask me why I didn't go to see it.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't answer.

Three years later, the Central Plains soldiers were in chaos. When I returned, the year number was changed.

The woman sent me to Tongguan and took off the bell and gave it to me. I still don't know who she is, and she hasn't asked my name.

It is August of the first year when I returned to my home in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I spent three penny to buy a pair of moon cakes. Fireflies fly in a formation under the moonlight.

I warmed a pot of wine and drank until I was drunk.

When I woke up, I melted the footbell.

The next year, the Waking of Insects, Loulan was cast. Don't show murder, don't be resentful, don't be domineering, don't show acuous. The idiot held it in his hand, and the ten directions were stunned.

Unfortunately, no matter how light the sky is, it can't shine that little blue.

Two years later, a swordsman surnamed Ximen offered a good price, so I sold Loulan to him.

He said he wanted an exquisite scabbard. It is named after Tianzhu palm wood with black gold inlaid glass, and the name of dragon ink book and sword. I asked him to add another 80 gold.

It's a deal.

When I wrote the word "Lou Lan", I seemed to think of some past events. Many faces, memories are stacked, and the flowers are messy. Because I'm afraid of writing mistakes, I'm very serious.

Use thick ink.

Many years later, no one in the world is his enemy. It is said that he often practices swords against his reflection alone on the ice field of Beiming. One day, I accidentally slipped and broke my leg bone.

His internal strength was pure, and he climbed out of the deserted ice field for 40 miles. In the end, I don't know if it's freezing to death

Still starving to death.
