Chapter 32 The emperor's daughter's decision, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the sad farewell (1)
1
The goddess of Tianhe is so beautiful, with unparalleled yin and yang decorations.
Wearing a flowered silk dress, jadeite is famous.
The face is beautiful and gentle as jade, and the body is rich and graceful.
It is both beautiful and beautiful, like a virgin, and it is also roaming and wandering around.
"Wow, no wonder the Emperor's Mountain is unparalleled in the world. 'The beauty and gentle face are as beautiful as jade, and the body is plump and beautiful.' I really don't deceive me. Today is the right thing! You guys say yes!" Helian Mingkong turned around and wanted to ask the little sisters behind him, but there was no figure behind him. She frowned slightly and her mouth tilted, "Well! These spoiled ladies are really not strong in physical strength!"
The Helian family is a prominent family within a radius of hundreds of miles. The men in the family are all gentle and elegant, and the women are gentle and virtuous, beautiful and generous. But Helian Mingkong is a little alien. He doesn't stay in the boudoir to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and women are red embroidery. They run out all day long, show up and play with boys, climb trees and bird nests, and swim in Cuju. They are all good at playing, even better than boys. They are sun-dry, dark skin and yellow hair. Everyone around them calls her "tomboy". She doesn't care, but she makes her parents anxious. In the end, her parents are really helpless, and they speak with tears. Finally, she persuades the little girl, and she stops her temperament, and becomes as active as a rabbit, and finally becomes quiet as a virgin. Her skin gradually becomes whiter and grows long hair, and she grows to fourteen years old.
It is said that women change every time they grow up. Who would have thought that the tomboy of that year would be so beautiful and charming, and turned into a beautiful beauty that is fascinating. When those playmates met again, they were shocked and dislocated and dared not recognize each other. As soon as His Majesty chose a concubine, women of the right age in the country could run for the election. There is such a beautiful woman in the Helian family, so they naturally have to try it. Maybe once a mortal bird flies to the branch and turns into a phoenix, the Helian family will naturally become a royal relative, and that is a glorious family and a high status.
But the road to choosing a concubine was not peaceful, so the prefecture hired the most famous escort agency to escort these girls. The girls had a lot of fun traveling along the way. Because the escort agency is famous and the escorts are very skilled in martial arts, the journey is unobstructed. They have a fast journey and plenty of time. They have the idea of traveling through the Dinu Mountain.
Helian Mingkong got the opportunity and finally could escape from his parents' control. His suppressed lively temperament rebuilds the light of the sky. He was like a little beast returning to nature, full of endless energy. He was soon immersed in the beautiful natural scenery of Dinu Mountain, and unconsciously broke away from the large group of people.
"Well, why don't you wait for them! It's really troublesome!" Helian Mingkong sat down on the bluestone beside the road. After waiting for about a stick of incense, he still didn't see anyone. He felt a little bored, "Oh, I'm so annoyed, I won't wait anymore. I'm going to climb to the top of the mountain anyway, so why don't you go to the top of the mountain to wait for you!" He left as soon as he left, patted her skirt, walked alone on the mountain path, heading towards the top of the mountain.
The road was green mountains and clear waters, the trees were shaded, and the air was fresh. Helian Mingkong was quite comfortable. In about an hour, he had reached the top of the mountain, but there were still no one else. He couldn't help but feel funny. When these young ladies arrived at the top of the mountain, they were afraid that it would be dark, so they no longer thought about enjoying the gifts of nature and savoring the peerless beauty of "seeing all the mountains at once".
"Hey! What is that!" Helian Mingkong was attracted by a white thing. The sun was dazzling and he couldn't see it clearly. So he reached out to block his forehead, with less strong light, and finally saw clearly that it turned out to be a white wild flower.
As I approached, I felt more and more that the flower was beautiful, with pure white petals, pink stamens, tender green branches and leaves, like a snow girl in the ice and a beautiful woman in the prosperous era, with red cheeks and emerald green dress, making people unable to help but touch it. Helian Mingkong frowned and bit his lips, and hesitated. This wild flower is so beautiful that he really can't help but want to pick it, but the problem is that it is growing outside the cliff and can barely touch it, but most of the body needs to stick out of the cliff, which is too dangerous.
"Oh, it's so annoying! I want it so much. If I miss it this time, I might never have the chance to meet such a beautiful flower again!" Helian Mingkong said to himself, "It would be great if the escort Liu Chuang is here. He is tall and big, so he will definitely be able to reach it!" Then she shook her head again, "No, now the escorts will definitely protect the group of young ladies. The escorts have arrived, and the group of Yingying and Yanyan girls have also arrived, among which a few daughters of the official family. Once they make a fuss, they will probably have nothing to do with this flower! It seems that they have to start first! Just be careful!"
Helian Mingkong was decisive and did whatever he said, and regardless of the soil on the ground staining his dress, he knelt directly on the ground, pressed the ground with one hand to maintain balance, and pressed the other hand straight, and his slender fingers were only a slight short of touching the flower branches.
"Come here!" Helian Mingkong was a little tired, and there was a deep abyss below. If he was not careful, he might be crushed to pieces. He was a little scared and swallowed.
It seemed that I heard her prayer. A gust of wind blew, and the flower moved with the wind and shook towards her. Her slender fingers clamped the flower branches, retreated back, and pulled the flower over.
"Well, I'm scared to death! This Imperial Girl Mountain is too high!" However, looking at the white flower in her hand, Helian Mingkong was still very happy in his heart, "But it's worth it!" She put the flower in front of her nose and sniffed it gently. The fragrance was so exciting and refreshing.
She stood up and felt her nose itchy, getting more and more itchy. She couldn't help but sneeze and felt her body fluttering!
"Oh?" Helian Mingkong felt his body falling. She was standing on the edge of the cliff just now, and before she could completely escape from danger, she couldn't wait to smell the fragrance of flowers. A sneeze actually made her lose balance and fell from the edge of the cliff. "Help!"
Helian Mingkong was helpless and thought to himself that he was the first person in history to die of a sneeze. He thought that his beauty had just died before the man was fascinated. It turned out that he had a poor life. She looked at the white flower tightly in her hand, and suddenly felt that she was not that beautiful. She actually lost her life because of such a flower, which was really not worth it. But then she thought again that she had taken the life of the flower first, and now she was just one life to pay for her life. Flowers, flowers, you are worth it in this life! No wonder she always heard others say "Don't pick wild flowers on the roadside", and she said it really appropriately.
"Dad! My daughter is unfilial, see you in the next life!" Helian Mingkong closed his eyes and waited quietly for death. Tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes and flew towards the sky.
"Miss, do you need help?" A voice appeared in his ear. Helian Mingkong thought there was an hallucination, but he was really interesting. He closed his eyes and said half-jokingly.
"Didn't you see that I'm cooler? Where can I stay there? Don't bother me!"
"Um...it's the end if you're so glamorous!" said the voice again.
"Oh, I said..." Helian Mingkong opened his eyes, his mouth widened and could not say a word.
I saw a man in white standing beside him, looking at him with interest with a smile, as he was as gentle as the wind.
"Do you want help?" the man asked, his eyes as gentle as water.
Helian Mingkong didn't know whether this was a dream or a reality. He pinched his face, which made her grin and grinned, and then reached out to pinch the man's face. It turned out that it was not a dream!
"Yeah, yeah!" Helian Mingkong nodded quickly, "Save people quickly!"
The man smiled, stretched out his hands to hold Helian Mingkong, and indeed stopped the downward momentum, then slowly rose, and flew up. In the blink of an eye, he fell back to the top of the cliff. The man put her down. Her feet softened and she fell to the ground, gasping for breath, cold sweat, and a breeze blew by, and even in the sun, she felt biting cold.
After a while, Helian Mingkong recovered and finally recovered his consciousness on his feet. Then he stood up, patted the soil on his body, caged his somewhat messy hair, tidied up his clothes, and turned around and saw the man in white standing by the cliff.
Helian Mingkong walked over and was about to approach the edge of the cliff. He was about to raise his foot to approach the man. After falling off the cliff just now, he was a little scared and hurriedly withdrew his steps and took a step back to get farther away from the cliff.
"Thank you, little girl, for your help!" She bowed to the man, "I can't repay my great kindness. I hope my son will leave his name and address. My Helian family must prepare a generous gift to the mansion to express his gratitude!"
The man turned around and smiled, "You are kind to you, girl, it's just a little effort!"
"Eh?" Helian Mingkong suddenly realized, and he always felt something was wrong. "You can fly?" He patted his head and shook his head, and said, "I must have been scared to death. I'm just reacting now!"
"Um...can't do it!" The man smiled. The girl's reaction was really interesting.
"Are you... a god? or... a monster?" Helian Mingkong said and took another step back.
"None of them, I am a cultivator!" the man said.
"Well, a cultivator, I seem to have heard of it. He is very capable and can fly and hide in the sky, and is almost the same as a god!" Helian Mingkong nodded and said, "Well, thank you in any case! Since you are a god, you must not look down on this mortal thing. I have nothing valuable to you. I will give you this flower!" As he said that, he handed over the flower in his hand.
"Flowers are paired with beauty, please keep this flower. When I get to it, I will be inserted into cow dung. It's not good!" the man said with a smile, not picking up the flower.
"Haha! You can talk!" Helian Mingkong took back the flowers and played with them carefully.
"Why are you here alone?" the man asked.
"Well, I'm going to go to the capital to choose a concubine. I came here to visit Dinu Mountain. The others' journey was too slow and I was thrown away by me. I guess they'll be here in a while." Helian Mingkong said.
"Select a concubine! That's the future concubine. Maybe she will become the queen mother and the world are not sure!" the man said, "I didn't expect to save such a noble person, which is an honor!"
"Haha, what a joke? No more than 10,000 people across the country participated in the selection of concubines. Even if they were selected, there would be three thousand beauties in the harem. How could I get myself? I didn't have any hope. I just thought it was just to relax and see the world!" Helian Mingkong was a little disappointed. Who wouldn't want to experience the feeling of being below that person or above thousands of people? It was like standing on the top of the Imperial Girl Peak, despising the mountains. This feeling would be addictive!
"Maybe you don't even know that you are the body of a phoenix and protected by the real dragon, but you will soar into the sky!" The man looked carefully and saw Helian Mingkong was very uncomfortable.
"I don't know what you are talking about, what is the real dragon of the Tianfeng. The real dragon of the Tianfeng that you talk about was almost killed just now! Humph!" Although he was a little unhappy, Helian Mingkong was very happy in his heart.
"You will know in the dark!" The man turned around and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers.
"I'm so nagging, why do you feel like a fortune teller in the world? There used to be an 'immortal' on the street in front of my house. Good and bad fortune are counted as marriages. Ten copper coins are used to be worth it if they don't work! Haha!" Helian Mingkong laughed out loud.
"Is that so? Then I have to count the one another day!" the man smiled.
"Then you're going to be disappointed. Two years ago, he helped a bully tell fortune teller to figure out what he would do next. The fortune teller blew through the sea. What bully met noble people, got married, and made a fortune, and was thirsty. The bully was also full of joy. Just when the fortune teller was about to ask for rewards, he was slapped by the bully and said, 'This is not counted now!', haha! That fortune teller is a lie!" Helian Mingkong laughed so hard that he trembled and burst into tears. She wiped her tears and said, "I heard that real dragons are the emperors, so why would I be the emperor in the future! Haha, the female emperor, that's interesting!"
Helian Mingkong also planned to continue saying that when he heard someone calling his name, it turned out to be Liu Chuang, a stoogee who was traveling with him, he was the only one, probably to find him.
"Well, someone is here to find me, I have to leave!" Helian Mingkong suddenly felt a little reluctant.
"Well, I'll give it to you!" The man stretched out his hand, and his hands were empty at first, and then a simple-shaped jade pendant slowly appeared. Helian Mingkong was stunned. It was really magical. He took the jade pendant and started it warmly.
"What is this?" Helian Mingkong was puzzled, "Why did you give me this?"
"Acquaintance is fate! Undercurrents are surging in the palace, and people's hearts are unpredictable. This jade pendant is called "Huayan". It is worn close to the body. It can be kept alive and can also keep the face from aging!" the man said.
"Well, it's really a baby! Thank you!" Helian Mingkong held the jade pendant in his palm and took care of it carefully.
"Farewell, goodbye if you are destined to see you!" After that, the man stood up and flew up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"What's your name?" Helian Mingkong suddenly remembered that he didn't know his name, and hurriedly shouted outside the cliff.
"Dugu Jue!" A man's voice sounded in his ears. Helian Mingkong looked around in surprise, but no one was there. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I think he is really an immortal!"
"Miss Helian, let me find it easy! You are walking too fast and there is no one around you. If something happens, our brothers will be in danger!" Liu Chuang walked over slowly.
Helian Mingkong put the jade pendant in his arms and turned around and walked towards Liu Chuang.
"Brother Liu Chuang, I'm so sorry. Let's go back. You have to help me and the head of the mattress talk to me later, so that he won't be angry with me!" Helian Mingkong looked pitiful.
"Haha! Miss Helian is fine. How dare he be angry? He begs God and worships Buddha to burn incense. He is too late to be happy!" Liu Chuang smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, Miss Helian, that was an immortal just now! I'm good-natured, my Liu Chuang has seen an immortal for the first time in my life. It's worth it in this life!"
"Yeah, immortal!" Helian Mingkong nodded, looked back and saw that the cliff was empty.
