In the darkness, there were gusts of wind and ghosts howling, as if there were evil ghosts hiding all around. But they didn't dare to appear because they were afraid of something.
In this darkness, two figures stood.
In front of these two figures, there is a restaurant. This restaurant is seven stories high. Even today, you can still see the grandeur of this restaurant, which attracted literati and poets from all over the world.
However, the splendor of the past is no longer there, and there is more decay and less vitality.
Once upon a time, there were no empty seats here, and you didn't know how long you had to wait in line to get a meal. But now, except for the two figures standing in front of the restaurant, there are no visitors anymore.
No matter how long it takes, there will be no visitors. This place, no matter which floor it is on, is covered with dust and covered with cobwebs. No one has cleaned it for a long, long time.
The wind was blowing lightly, but the whole restaurant was filled with squeaking and shaking sounds. The squeaking sound was very loud, as if the restaurant was going to collapse in the next moment.
It is true that no one has cleaned this place for a long time, because more than three hundred years have passed, and no one has come to clean it. This restaurant is already very damp, infested with termites, and most of the places are full of holes and holes.
But this restaurant, as if it had a soul, refused to collapse.
No one has come to clean or repair it for three hundred years. It's not because no one wants to, but because there is no one in the city where this restaurant is located.
To be precise, there is no one alive here.
"Nihuang Restaurant is the best restaurant in Nicheng, the most prosperous city in Beicheng County."
In the darkness and dampness, someone murmured. He raised his head and looked at the seven-story restaurant.
This restaurant, in the wasted years, cannot escape the end of decay. It may not take many years to completely collapse, and there is no sign of the prosperity it once had.
"The reason why this Nicheng city has become the best restaurant is because of a woman named Yun Xiuzhi. She plays music and sings like a fairy, and she is ranked seventh on the beauty list."
This sound continued, ringing softly in the darkness.
One of the two figures in the darkness closed his eyes and moved his ears slightly, as if he was listening.
In the dark night, there seemed to be a gentle ripple, and a pair of ten-fingered jade qianqian pressed on the strings. Then, a piece of piano music lingered in the beams.
The wind rippled, and everything seemed to have changed in this dark place. In front of these two figures, there was no longer this decaying old building, but it seemed that it had returned to its former glory.
In this grandeur, in this carved and painted building, bursts of footsteps suddenly sounded. It was as if someone walked in through a curtain.
These are twelve women in red, coming slowly and in neat steps.
Behind these twelve women, two more maids came carrying the piano table and placed it within the curtain directly in front.
The piano platform was set up, and the sandalwood was fragrant. At the end, a woman in white walked lightly. The man lifted up his clothes and sat down. He lightly picked it up with his fingers and placed it in the piano.
This woman in white put her hands on the strings of the piano, and the sound of a piano came instantly. Her tone was sad and eloquent, as if she was talking about her lovesickness.
Then it surges like a gurgling stream, clear and slow, turning into flowing water with falling flowers and fish playing happily, which is telling the joy in my heart when I see the person I miss.
The fairy music of this song makes people intoxicated. But there is a person whose face is as red as the warm sun, and he doesn't know what he tastes in his heart.
However, one of the two figures turned a deaf ear, as if nothing around him had happened.
The other person, with his eyes closed, listened intently, as if all this was real.
He closed his eyes, but he seemed to see the woman in white looking at him lovingly.
However, my eyes have never been on the woman in white, even though the woman in white, under the faint whiteness, is a pair of plump hills, her skin can be broken by Shengxue, and she is ranked among the beauties.
The seventh beauty.
But this man didn't have any affection for the woman in white.
His love seems to be with someone else.
Although there was also a beautiful woman in white standing next to him, when he closed his eyes, he seemed to only see one woman.
The empty pool releases spring, the ancient mirror shines upon the gods. Stars are gazed upon, and secluded people sing. The flowing water today is the predecessor of the bright moon.
It was a woman like the bright moon, hanging high in front of her, illuminating his heart.
If it were not for that woman, he would not be what he is today. If it were not for that woman, then even if he was lucky enough to survive that disaster, he would still be a person who only knows killing and has no nature.
A beast.
At this moment, he seemed to be in a situation between reality and unreality.
Did it happen, and does it exist? In his mind, there was only this sentence.
"Empress Mingyue..."
The sound of the wind rippled, and it seemed as if I had returned to the darkness again. The curling music of the piano, and the dancing of the beauties were all an illusion, and the clean moon hanging in my heart no longer reappeared.
The light disappeared. The bright moon disappeared.
"Husband."
In the darkness, another soft call sounded.
This sound was very beautiful, as clear as a bell. It brought the man who was listening in all directions back from the beauty's piano performance.
His mind was a little blurry, and the scenes in his vision seemed to be constantly changing.
One moment it's bright, the other moment it's dark. One moment the smell is sandalwood, the other moment it's pungent decay.
"For her husband to talk about it, the woman named Yun Jiuzhi must be the most powerful person in the country."
The woman beside her spoke with a smile, not caring at all about her husband's words. She even thought about other women in her heart. She couldn't bear the slightest complaint.
The woman was just smiling, a real smile, as if she would never become a resentful woman. Because she knew that most of the romantic events in this world had nothing to do with this man.
He is not a prodigal, nor does he engage in romantic affairs. He is just a name that comes out of his mouth, so why complain?
"Is Yun Jie still..." The man just shook his head, and then turned towards the woman beside him.
If you open your eyes, this face is absolutely beautiful.
This face was indeed the woman he cared about day and night, but it was always incompatible with his heart. It was extremely familiar, yet a little strange.
It's really hard for people to really fall in love. Men always feel that there is something missing in this woman.
The man couldn't explain what this was, and it seemed like it was a lot. But it was like a fishbone, piercing deeply into his heart.
He seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, he was eager to have a romantic relationship with this woman, and this woman also wanted to give birth to a son for him. However, he wanted to make this woman have a child in her heart.
Thinking about it, fortunately, I was able to reach the end of a certain killing path and didn't implement it.
This is the biggest regret of a man's life. However, it was just a nightmare. Now that he has woken up from this nightmare, when he sees this woman, he should be able to survive the storm.
However, he didn't have the slightest intention.
A man and a woman have been together for many days, perhaps many years. The man doesn't know if this was the case before, but it is like this now.
Obviously, he is his husband, why is this happening?
He once thought about it all night. He stood on the mountain peak and looked at the old city that had been abandoned for three hundred years. He still couldn't figure out why this happened.
Is there really no love? Is there really no affection? So when this woman asked for a kiss, she kept retreating, and there was always a strong rejection in her heart.
The man shook his head and opened his eyes as he shook.
"The clouds have stopped? Maybe it is indeed beautiful."
In his memory, this was indeed beautiful, but it could not capture his mind. His mind had indeed been captured by someone before, but it was not the woman named Yun Jiuzhi, nor the woman beside him.
But a bright moon, a clean bright moon. A woman named Mingyue Diji.
"Nihuang Tower is indeed the most prosperous city in Beicheng County and the best restaurant in Nicheng. But this is the old capital, not Beicheng County, let alone Nicheng."
"So, where does this Nihuang Tower come from?"
The surrounding wind blew by, and the plaque hanging on the main door creaked. Then, looking at the firelight, there were three big golden characters written on it, Nihuang Tower.
This is Nihuang Restaurant, the same restaurant as in my memory.
In his memory, he met the bright moon. After that, it was difficult for him to take his eyes away from her body.
Although he was chatting and laughing, deep down in his heart, he was always looking at the bright moon.
"Husband, this Nihuang Tower was very famous in the past three hundred years."
At this time, the woman raised her head, looked at the plaque hanging on the restaurant, looked at the three big characters, and spoke softly.
"Oh?" The man suddenly became interested after hearing this.
At this moment, he has a strong desire for this old capital and wants to find out. He wants to know whether this place is a dream or reality.
"It seems that your husband is indeed interested." The woman laughed and looked at the man, looking at the eager face and shaking his head with a hint of joking.
"Three hundred years ago, there was no Nihuang Tower in this old capital of the Zhou Dynasty."
"There is no Nihuang Tower?"
The woman nodded and said: "It is true that there is no Nihuang Tower. The original Nihuang Tower was in Beicheng County, in Nicheng. This is just like what your husband said. But no matter how good it is, it is only located in a county.
.It will not be able to become famous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"It all started because of one person."
"Because of one person?" The man frowned and spoke again.
In his heart, he had a vague feeling that he might be close to the truth. He could distinguish the true from the false.
"That man was the most beautiful man in the world at that time, and he was also a god in the martial arts world. More importantly, he was the leader of the Nine Heavens, Lord Xuan Tian, who controlled most of the lifeblood of the world."
"His name is Gongziyu. He is the great Zhou Dynasty. He combines the grace and splendor of the Nine Heavens. He is the husband of Emperor Mingyue. He is also the devil who turned the old capital into a dead city."
