Here, there has never been such beautiful scenery, but when this woman in jade came here, everything was different.
The autumn wind here is howling. Originally, the sun's rays could only rise from the mountains on the back. The sun was only on that end, shining on the meandering water, and there were soft chirping of birds in all directions. But in late autumn, there were more people than usual.
It's a bit quiet. But there are still beautiful mountains and beautiful scenery there.
Compared to the world outside the city wall and within the city wall, the high mountain standing on the land here is the thin barrier that separates the earth and heaven.
But with the arrival of the woman in jade, it was like the return of the geese that had flown from the south to the north as the winter passed.
Their return means that the desolation is gone. A spring light gradually awakens in the cold. Soon, in the desolation and silence, spring colors will appear, like stars, with branches full of flowers.
This is the case with the arrival of this woman. It seems that the world, which has been silent for a long time, has become a little more lively.
There is a soft and lively voice.
This agility is like the sweet chirping of an oriole. It is also like the sound of a piano playing gently.
This was the sound of the wind blowing on the hilt of the sword, and the chuckle of the woman in jade.
Although, ahead is a dark place, a place where danger is rumored to be hidden. It is a place where my mentor has warned me that I must not go there.
She knew that the city wall was where even a master who was stronger than herself would not dare to set foot.
I'm afraid there's a risk of death there.
The woman in jade clothes was on horseback, looking up at the blood-stained city wall, her beautiful eyes twinkling without any hesitation or fear.
In her mind, she was not thinking about any danger or whether she would die if she set foot there. Instead, she was thinking about a certain figure that she was chasing and that she was chasing away.
She would only think about whether the person in her heart was inside that city gate.
This woman in jade is so beautiful. Just like the priceless Heshi Bi, people will covet her just by seeing her.
However, the woman in jade clothes knew that her beauty was extremely tempting to other men, but not in front of that man.
Perhaps, this is just wishful thinking. But for some women, when admiration is placed in front of them, they may be uncertain. It is due to inferiority and uncertainty in their hearts.
She knew in her heart that her beauty might be worthless in front of that person.
The woman's name is Zhou Youluo, and she is the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, in front of that man, she has no confidence at all. That man is too dazzling, and the radiance radiating from his body far exceeds her own.
Most women, faced with this uncertainty, will ultimately just stand far away and watch silently. But for a small number of people, this is not the case.
They don't think about their own thoughts and hide them deep in their hearts.
Zhou Youluo is among a small number of people.
She felt that if she could not tell that person what she was thinking, then that person would never know what she was thinking.
If she doesn't know this intention, how can she know whether the other party is interested? Is it because they are in love and can spark the spark of love?
Although this hope is extremely slim, I still want to try. Even if it is a moth flying into the flame, I will not hesitate.
"Master...the person next to you..."
The woman in jade murmured, looking at the blood-stained city wall with confusion in her eyes.
Why did she know that the beauty she was so proud of might be worthless to that person?
That's because, beside that young master, there is a beautiful woman whose beauty is not inferior to hers.
Not weak, this is just the expectation in my heart. It is an expectation for that young master, an unrealistic expectation.
I hope that I can catch his eye. Therefore, the beauty of that woman is not weaker than my own.
But all this is ultimately impossible. For some people, love will always come first.
That woman came first, and they loved each other so much. Even if she interfered, she probably wouldn't have a place in his heart.
Because she saw the only thing in his eyes.
This sky is the only one, and this earth is also the only one. For all things in the world, this heaven and earth are indispensable.
But the only thing Zhou Youluo saw in that young master's eyes was not the heaven and the earth.
It's like, the sky collapses, the earth collapses, and everything dies, so what? Just ask for one person.
This is his one and only. This one and only cannot be herself.
Zhou Youluo saw from the young master's eyes that he could not replace that woman's position in his heart after all.
To be precise, no one in this world can replace that woman, nor can she occupy the position in the young master's heart.
But she still decided to give it a try and talk to him about her longing for the young master in her heart. Even if everything was in vain.
The woman shook her head and suddenly laughed. She turned over and landed from the horse.
She patted the horse's back and chuckled: "Thank you for your hard work along the way. Well, it's time for you to leave. The prairie is suitable for you. I hope you can also find where you belong."
This is the old capital, which is desolate and inhabited. Not far away, there is a grassland.
As Zhou Youluo clapped his hands, the horse suddenly raised its head and roared, then turned around, raised its hooves, and ran towards the mountain.
Zhou Youluo smiled and watched the horse leave. Only when he could no longer see the dust and smoke and could no longer hear the horse's hooves running around did he slowly turn around.
It's her turn to go now.
She came to the city gate, looked at the dried blood stains, smelled the vicissitudes of the years, and slowly took steps towards it.
This step is from light to darkness.
This step brings us to the old capital, which is talked about by everyone in the world.
She was trapped in darkness and walked in silence. Along the way, she could only hear her own footsteps, her own breathing, and the sound of wind coming from all directions.
This is just based on what the young master told her back then. At about this time, he would make a trip and then retreat to the mountains again.
If you still want to see that young master, this is your only chance.
She does not need to enter the old capital, she can stay outside and wait for the young master. However, Zhou Youluo is afraid that if it is true as the master said, the old capital is really dangerous and there is a risk of death.
She knew that the young master was powerful, but she was also afraid that the young master would stay there forever. Therefore, she wanted to take care of the young master's safety.
Zhou Youluo, the most beautiful woman in this great Zhou Dynasty, for the first time, risked her life for a man and for love, and even risked her life to chase after him.
Time passed by little by little, and Zhou Youluo had walked for an unknown amount of time. All he knew was that the wind around him became more and more violent, and the whine of the wind sounded like countless miserable souls whirling around.
As the wind swirled, Zhou Youluo felt that it was getting colder and colder. It was as if he had gone straight from the middle of autumn to the coldest winter.
It was an extremely cold winter, which made her shiver and feel a little scared in her heart.
She is very powerful now, and it can be said that few people in the world are her opponents.
The next day, after Mrs. Gongsun returned to seclusion, she became a new generation of sword master in this world.
Zhou Youluo took a deep breath, reached out and pulled the clothes on her body, and walked deeper.
After all, she is a woman. Even if she is a master of swordsmanship, she is better than her master, and she can become a leading figure in the world in the future, she is still a woman.
Darkness is inherently scary. For men and women, the latter will be even more afraid of darkness.
This is a deep-rooted fear that is passed down from generation to generation.
Zhou Youluo recalled the countless warnings from his master: never enter that old capital forgotten by time unless absolutely necessary.
She once asked the master why he said that. She only got a simple reply that if you go in, you will definitely die.
"At that time, my strength was weak. That's why Master warned me like this." Zhou Youluo thought to himself, comforting himself in this way.
This comfort is real comfort. Because she doesn't believe that anything in this world can hurt herself who is now a master of swordsmanship.
In this world, only that young master has this ability.
However, she wouldn't know it. That was Aunt Gongsun's warning to herself. Because when she was young, she experienced an unforgettable experience in her life. Even after decades, she would still have nightmares.
The wind in the darkness became stronger, and the fireworks in the lanterns were blown swaying and dim.
Shadows that flickered and appeared were reflected everywhere. It seemed as if there were ghosts and ghosts wandering around the old city.
As they walked forward, there were sounds, like cries, gradually appearing in Zhou Youluo's ears. The looming shadows were like a broken mirror being repaired. From one shadow to another, they formed a huge piece.
The shadows connected to each other seem to form a black hole, filled with endless nothingness.
Zhou Youluo wanted to find the young master in this cursed city that had been forgotten by people, but all along the way, he was like a rootless float, walking around aimlessly. He couldn't know the general direction.
On the ground she passed were ruins, with wreckage among them, exuding a pungent and unpleasant smell of decay.
When the wind passes through those ancient and decaying rows of houses, it makes a whining sound, which seems to be crying. The vicissitudes that permeate the surroundings gradually disappear with the years as the wind.
One after another, howls and howls followed the wind.
Behind Zhou Youluo, there seemed to be a figure following behind.
There have been too many uninvited guests in the old capital these days.
A carriage came from the mountain path, pulled by three horses. On the horse in the middle sat a young man wearing rich ornaments.
Finally, the carriage arrived at a deserted place in front of a city wall.
"Son, we're here."
There was a sound in the carriage. The young man raised his head and looked at the dilapidated city wall in front of him. He looked at the plaque with unclear writing on the wall and frowned again and again.
"Father, this...is the old capital you mentioned?" The young man blinked and rubbed his eyes, wondering if his eyes were dazzled.
