Chapter 88 Qing Dynasty version of the empty city plan 2
All the city gates were opened, the lights in Ninggu Tower were brightly lit, figures were moving around in confusion, and shouts were everywhere...
It was as bright as day on the tower, and Baoyu (burning small stones) was playing the piano, a twenty-stringed zither.
Wearing a green robe and a scarf, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) is dressed as a scholar, and standing next to him is Xiahouqu dressed as an old farmer.
The sound of the piano is elegant, like a gurgling stream, like singing and crying...
Playing the guqin well was one of Baoyu's (Ran Xiaoshi) hobbies when he became a special soldier in later generations.
"Play the piano and kill people." This is his unique characteristic.
At the end of the most beautiful song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) gently stroked the strings and whispered softly: "Who would want to be talented unless the world is difficult."
Then Man Sheng sang:
"There are fifty strings of brocade strings for no reason, each string and one column reminds me of my good years.
Zhuang Sheng was fascinated by butterflies in his morning dream, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart filled with cuckoos.
The moon in the sea sheds tears, and the warm sun in Lantian produces smoke.
This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss.”
This is "Jin Se" by Li Shangyin.
This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss...
An infatuated and heartless woman, how did your heart grow?
Thinking of Miaoyu's secret love for Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and then recalling the affectionate love between Miaoyu and me a few days ago... But now we are "separated from each other", so close to each other... Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) can't help but feel sad
.
A casual move revealed another vicissitude:
"You didn't light it with your own hands
That can't be called a flame
Not something you touched with your own hands
Then it cannot be called a gem:
You, you finally appeared
We just met each other
This heart is broken
This world will completely collapse
Not killed by your own hands
There is no point in living
You, you finally appeared
We just met each other
This heart is broken
This world will completely collapse
I will die in this life
I must die in your hands
You must die
………”
This is "I'm going to die, I must die in your hands" from a later poem by Mo Xizi. Here it is played and sung by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), which makes it feel desolate and tragic.
The whole world is listening to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s smoky accent performance.
Outside the city gate, a black shadow stands, surrounded by two big horses. Immediately behind them are two peerless women, Miaoyu and Daiyu.
Daiyu's expression was a little dull, as if she was sleepwalking; Miaoyu had a sad face, two lines of tears, and she was speechless...
"Ask the world, what is love? Directly teach the promise of life and death. Traveling from the south to the north, the old wings come back to the cold and summer several times. It is fun to have fun, but the separation is painful, and there are even more crazy children. You should say it, the clouds are far away, and the snow is falling on thousands of mountains.
, to whom does the shadow go?
On the Hengfen Road, the loneliness was played by flutes and drums. The desolate smoke is still plain and clear. The souls are summoned by Chu, how can they complain, and the mountain ghosts secretly cry in the wind and rain. The sky is jealous, and it does not believe in it. The orioles and swallows are all in the loess. Through the ages, I have reserved it for the poets to sing wildly.
Drink heavily and visit Yanqiu..."
After the song "I Must Die in Your Hands" was played and sung, it was followed by Yuan Haowen's "Moyu'er·Yanqiu Ci".
"Ask the world, what is love? Directly teach life and death to make promises..." Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) sang repeatedly, feeling, confiding, remembering, gently tugging on the heartstrings... At the same time, it seemed to be saying goodbye...
…
Boom...
The strings are broken... The guqin is so sentimental, it seems that it can't carry all these feelings...
The whole world suddenly fell into silence... Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) raised his head and looked at Miaoyu quietly, and Miaoyu also looked at Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) quietly...
Neither of them spoke. This gaze was like traveling through time and space for three hundred years. It was so close and yet so far away...
The two of them were talking in the air across the tall city wall. They were both highly skilled in martial arts, so it was no different from talking in front of them.
"Okay, it's really good... You were originally a tender woman, but you have become so hard-hearted. I want to know why?"
"You... are very good... you have an old lady who loves you, and a father who looks stern but is actually kind; everyone in your family treats you as a treasure, and everyone in your family feels sorry for you... You
I am happy... As for me, I was almost drowned by my cruel mother as soon as I was born... In order to gain support, I was sent to the Golden Guest as a hostage before I was even a month old; my dear father did this to me again.
What...for his own sake, he tricked me into practicing this secret technique that will destroy all human beings...turning me into something neither human nor ghost...These are my closest relatives...let you deal with me,
Isn't this what they came up with? Baoyu, what do you think I should think and do?"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) originally wanted to say "come out of the mud without being stained", originally wanted to say "we can't decide our birth, but we can decide the direction of life", "we are in the ditch, but no one stops us from looking up"
"Starry Sky"...and many other words of ambition, but these seem so pale and redundant in the face of the cold reality.
Just as Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was about to speak, Miaoyu suddenly roared: "And you, Baoyu, keep saying you love me, what did you do to me... You designed a city here, and you want to build it in this Ninggu
Tacheng strangled all my people here... You want me to die... This is this world... I want everyone in this world to have a taste of being abandoned and plotted by their loved ones, taste it
What is the true taste of pain?"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) also felt pain in his heart, and sighed and said, "We can't let others be bitten by snakes just because it hurts. This is wrong... We should be chess pieces. We should be chess pieces."
When we are chessmen, we have the consciousness of being chess pieces, and there will always be times when we make moves..."
"Hahaha... Be a chess piece... Be a chess piece, what a wonderful metaphor! If you don't fight for it yourself, how can you have a chance to make a move? If you like to be a chess piece so much, then be a chess piece properly... They are all chess pieces anyway, do it
It's the same for others, so it's mine. You might as well be mine, so what? Your Daiyu is not dead, she is by my side; your three children are also in my hands. If you don't want them to die, just go ahead.
Use your plot..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) is still very calm, "You poisoned Daiyu's barbecue, fearing that it would not be able to control her, and also asked the people from the sacred mountain to attack her when she was giving birth... In order to monopolize the secret technique, you
You used the world's gold from Huanghuangke to bribe your mother, and you painstakingly planned for me to go to the heaven and earth prison of Tianwei camp to get rid of your father... What do you think this is? The moment I entered Huancui'an, you started to plot.
Me, you let your two capable men plot against me and let me practice martial arts. In fact, that is necromancy. You want me to turn into an undead monster... This is your plan... Miaoyu, do you think I should
