Shengshichun

Chapter 2
In the spring of the 22nd year of Shengyuan, the capital was busier than in previous years.

Last autumn, years of border war finally declared a victory. Pei Zhan, the second son of the great general who protected the country, took over the commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liang Chen, who retired due to injury. He attacked the enemy army for [-] miles, recaptured the nine cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and captured the enemy monarchs and leaders alive. He was escorted back to the capital and beheaded.

It has been more than [-] years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Since then, the country has been peaceful and the people have been peaceful, ushering in a prosperous age.

In March, peach blossoms bloomed all over the hillside behind Baihe Temple. With the abbot opening a prayer hall, dignitaries gathered in the temple, and officials and their families from various governments came to enjoy the flowers.

The most beautiful and flourishing peach blossoms are the several old peach trees in the northwest corner of the temple.

These trees are said to be hundreds of years old, and they have the most, reddest, and largest flowers every year.

However, no matter how beautiful the flowers bloom, this place is still deserted.

Just because there is a charred ruin next to the old peach tree. It was originally a Buddhist hall in the temple for pilgrims to temporarily stay and worship Buddha. However, it was accidentally burned down one autumn night six years ago, and there was a person who lived in the temple to replace The young lady who was praying for relatives who died in the battle was also burned to death among them.

"...I heard that he was a fierce ghost. He even went to the battlefield and killed people during his lifetime. He was so ugly!" Across the turtle pond in the middle, you can still see these flowers and the charred ruins next to the flower trees. At that time, someone started talking about this old incident.

Of course, there were also people who were afraid of the people behind the story, and promptly stopped them in a low voice: "The person who died was the young lady of the Liang family. How dare you say that?"

The people who were talking dispersed.

At this time, a young girl standing a little further away looked up and asked the woman beside her: "Mom, will the dead aunt of the Liang family really turn into a ghost after death?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense," the woman said, stroking the top of her hair gently, "I had a chance encounter with this young lady from the Liang family. She was not scary or ugly at all. On the contrary, she was very brave. She is also very upright. I believe that even after she encounters misfortune, she will never hurt a good person."

Thinking of that night, which is still scary to this day, the woman still feels awe-inspiring.

"If mother says it's not scary, then she's definitely not scary. If you want to say it's scary, who can be scarier than those of our Fu family?"

The girl's voice was a little low.

Her face was extremely beautiful, and her eyebrows, nose, and lips seemed to have been carefully conceived and drawn. Her thick eyebrows were as black as jet black, and her skin, which should have been white, had no blemishes, but her skin and lips were not. It looks like it was cut out of drawing paper and looks too white.

Such a face looks a bit sickly when placed on a similarly slender figure.

The woman sighed and led her forward: "Let's go, Zhen'er. We have made an appointment with Master Chengkong, don't miss the time. It's too late to go back down the mountain, and your father should scold us again."

When her real baby was born, a miracle doctor saw her and said she would not live to be 16 years old.Coincidentally, her 16th birthday was only ten days away. She had been worried about it for 15 years. As the date drew closer, the mother became more and more at a loss as to when the bad luck would come.

Chengkong is a famous eminent monk. Taking advantage of this opportunity today, she wants to ask him to do the math for her again.

It's a pity that her husband, who is in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette, came today with the intention of seeking promotion opportunities and will not let them stay for too long.

On the winding path in the distance, a six or seven-year-old child in white clothes ran over quickly after watching the mother and daughter move away.

When he got behind the tree, he looked around and saw no one around, so he walked to the ruins and knelt down.

"Sister-in-law, your beloved little Xuanxuan is here to see you again. Don't listen to those gossips. The lady just said it is right. You are kind and brave. You are Xuan'er's role model. The pride of our Liang family!"

He kowtowed twice, and then took out a few snacks wrapped in silk handkerchiefs from his arms.

"Mom said you like to eat the jujube paste cake she made the most. Today she made it again. I specially left it for you. You must eat it."

The silk handkerchief was spread flatly on the dirt floor.

Three pieces of snacks were also placed neatly above.

"Ah, Brother Xuan is indeed here!"

At this time, three more little heads popped up from behind the willow tree, glancing at the little fat man kneeling on the ground.

Little Fatty waved to them, and then motioned for them to kneel down: "Hurry up and kowtow to my aunt, my aunt loves me the most. She will definitely bless us to pass our homework..." Everyone stuck out their butts and looked upright. Kowtow.

"Hey! My ancestors, what are you doing here?"

At this time, a series of footsteps hurriedly came behind them, scratching their faces, and winking at them, "The altar has been opened in the main hall, why are you still here? Why don't you go back quickly? Pay close attention to your father." Know!"

The boy in white looked back following the servant's guidance, and his eyebrows jumped up in fear.

At the edge of the Turtle Pond, which had been deserted just now, there was now a handsome and cold man standing, looking at them with indifferent eyes.

He was tall and mighty, and even though he was wearing a gold-embroidered brocade robe, he could not suppress his murderous aura. Under his waist and abdomen tied with a jade belt, his muscles were fully supporting the clothes, making people never doubt that he even It was easy to pick up these fat guys and give them a spanking.

He just stood there casually, and he was as powerful as a god.

Liang Xuan quickly hid behind the servant who was looking at him. She looked at the man with puppy dog ​​eyes and apologized: "Uncle Five! Please don't complain to your father. We are not lazy. We are here to deliver delicious food to my aunt." !”

"Yes, yes, we also ask the Liang family's aunt to bless our homework!"

The party members rushed to protect him with every word they said to each other.

But the "god" didn't speak.

He just looked at the charred ruins behind them.

The breeze blew over his face, which was as hard and sharp as a rock, and caused a gleam in his eyes.

He walked to the front of the ruins, squatted down, and covered up the floating light with his slightly lowered eyes.

Falling flowers become rain in mid-air.

He picked up one on his sleeve and placed it on the jujube cake with his rough fingertips.

……

The breeze blew one after another, and soon the fallen flowers spread a thick layer on the ruins.

Under the ruins, Liang Ning was sinking in the boundless darkness wrapped in anger.

The stronger the burning pain all over her body, the deeper the anger and hatred in her heart became.

She wanted to break out of this invisible cage and break the chaos that had trapped the tower for so long!

But she couldn't muster the strength to rush out!
"...Everything in the Fu family belongs to me! The identity of the eldest lady of the Fu family should also belong to me, and everything in the Fu family should belong to me and my mother-in-law! And the marriage with the Du family should also belong to me. Go! Fu Zhen, you should have died long ago!"

This sudden vicious language was so harsh, and so close!
Someone is talking!
Who is it?
In the long loneliness, such an accident suddenly occurred, which made Liang Ning temporarily ignore the pain he was suffering.

She gave up her struggle and listened to all the sounds she could get. She smelled the smell of vegetation and felt the coolness of the mountain breeze.

Suddenly, my body felt light, and my whole person suddenly became weightless again!

A strong white light flashed before her eyes, causing her to close her eyes quickly!
When she opened her eyes, a ferocious face glaring at her with good and evil eyes suddenly appeared above her sight, and the other person was on the edge of a steep cliff!
……

She fell off a cliff?

Looking at the mountains, rocks, vegetation and trees hurriedly passing by, her heart suddenly tightened!
——His grandma’s!
She didn't understand that she didn't die the previous time. Was she going to die again? !
