Chapter 283: On the banks of the Peach Blossom River


It was raining, and the bright moon stood silently in front of Gu Xian's tomb in the Hong Kong Island cemetery.

The two cemetery workers left after resealing the cave, and Mingyue had buried her bones with Gu Immortal in accordance with the last wish of Granny Wang, and the pair of lovers of life and death finally returned to the same cave.

With tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, she gently put a bouquet of red roses, which was her master's favorite during her lifetime, on the shrine, the cold rain was dashing, and the sorrow came from it, and her heart was extremely desolate and melancholy.

Master, you are all gone one by one, leaving Mingyue alone in this indifferent world Mingyue just stood there silently, letting the cold rain wet her hair and clothes, the rain dripping down her chin, and for a long time, an umbrella was propped up on top of her head.

"Miss Mingyue, the Si people have gone, let's mourn and change the season."

A deep voice sounded behind him.

Mingyue slowly turned her head away A thick black-haired old man stood behind him, about sixty or seventy years old, with a Chinese face, two black sword eyebrows, a few white long hairs protruding from the eyebrows, a resolute double chin, a slightly bloated figure, a loose milky white suit with an open arms, giving people a sense of both majesty and easy-going, and behind the old man stood four black-clothed bodyguards, whose vigilant eyes looked in all directions.

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this person was the Hong Kong Justice of the Peace Lu Taiguan J.

"Miss Mingyue, do you still recognize me last time at the Mandarin Hotel?"

Lu Taiguan smiled kindly.

Mingyue nodded, and said softly: "Your body is still struggling to return, and the nameless wildflowers are already blooming on your head, you are the bloody corpse Lu Taiguan." ” "The girl has a good memory, shhhhh The passing of June and July, in the deserted mountains, Your bodies are still struggling to return, And the nameless wildflowers are already blooming overhead.

The hunger, the impact of the torrent, The night of the bite of the poisonous insect and the pain, You can't stand to tell people, Now it is the trees of the thriving that have forgotten everything.

What was past was your struggle to death, You died for the survival of those who want to live, The white-hot strife has not ceased, But you will hear no more in the cycle of the forest.

Quietly, on the slopes of the forgotten hills, It's still raining, and there's a gentle wind, No one knows that history has walked here, Leaving the heroic spirit to grow into the trunk of the tree. ” Mingyue listened to the desolate and tragic singing in her ears, and saw the pain on Taiguan Lu's face in her eyes, just like her own state of mind at the moment, she actually had a sense of sympathy.

In Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong, the traditional British Mandarin Hong Kong Hotel, the window seat can overlook the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, Mingyue and Lu Taiguan are sitting at the table, Lu Taiguan is silently drinking wine, listening to Mingyue tell the reason for this trip to Hong Kong.

"You mean, He Wuxing and Daoist Weng are dead."

Lu Taiguan stared at Mingyue with heavy eyes and said.

Mingyue nodded and continued to narrate: "All the people, my master, Wu Daoming, and people from Taiwan, are all dead, and my mother-in-law buried them in the Tai Chi Yin Halo with her own hands. ” "Then you are now the only descendant of Zhu Youke in the Central Plains," Lu Taiguan said with a sip of red wine.

"Hmm."

Mingyue answered.

Taiguan Lu was silent for a while, his eyes stared at the blood-like wine in the glass, and he sighed: "Heaven destroys my generation, how can I sigh that the general's life is iron-blooded, and it is in vain, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers who have been sleeping in foreign lands for a long time, and they will not be blind to death." ” Mingyue looked at Taiguan Lu, who was extremely sad, and wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Mingyue's puzzled face, Taiguan Lu explained: "The general's soul is a dream to return to Savage Mountain to pay tribute to the souls of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, but unfortunately he has been under house arrest in Taichung, and he can't leave the island for half a step, and the failure of this operation is even more unfavorable to the general." ” Mingyue just listened silently.

"Miss Mingyue, would you like to go with me to the Taohua River in Yiyang, Hunan," Lu Taiguan said suddenly.

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, remembering what Granny Wang had said, so she asked: "At the foot of the Shame Mountain, on the bank of the Peach Blossom River, ghosts and ghosts, bald old woman, are you going to meet someone?"

Taiguan Lu nodded, and said in his heart, this girl is not only handsome, but also extremely smart, "Yes, that bald old woman is my aunt and sister-in-law Wang, and she is also your elder of Zhu Youmen."

At that time, I promised my aunt that three years after her death, I would open the coffin and send her bones to Poyang Lake Valley in northern Jiangxi, but at that time, in order to avoid the national campaign to suppress the counter-revolution, I fled overnight and never returned to my hometown in Hunan again.

He said.

Mingyue shook her head lightly and said, "Mr.

Lu, Mingyue is preparing for Hong Kong, so she will return to Yunnan." ” "Oh, this trip to Yunnan is actually just right to pass through Hunan, Lu will take you all the way with a car, and you can also send you to Yunnan," Lu Taiguan said sincerely.

Mingyue thought about it, the money on her body had basically been spent, and she was shy in her pocket, so of course it was good to have a ride, so she nodded and agreed: "When can I go?"

Taiguan Lu was overjoyed and said busily: "Listen to Miss Mingyue." ” "Will it be okay tomorrow?"

said Mingyue.

"No problem."

Lu Taiguan replied.

This is a new blue-gray off-road vehicle, driving along the rugged mountain road by the Taohua River.

The Taohua River originates from Longtang in Ningxiang, and after passing the Ziliangyan in Taojiang County, it is called the Taohua River, and it winds for more than 50 miles into the Zijiang River.

The upper reaches of the Taohua River are full of strange peaks and strange stones, during which the waterfalls are continuous, and the two banks are the most prestigious bamboo towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which are endless, and the blue sea is endless.

"I remember when I was a child, whenever the peach blossoms bloomed in spring, the mountains and rivers on both sides of the strait reflected each other, a fiery red, splendid fragrant, and its color was very charming."

Mrs.

Lu said to Mingyue with emotion.

The bright moon looks out of the car window, the green hills are undulating, the ancient trees are stacked and green, the forest occasionally sees deer and rabbits from time to time, there is a green mountain peak that resembles a woman's body in the distance, the chin is raised high, the long hair like green clouds is hanging softly, a pair of pink arms are stretched out, the long legs are well-proportioned, the knees are slightly bent, and the feet are immersed in the clear peach blossom river water.

"It is the Shy Girl Peak, which is said to be the Xiangshan Mountain where the Yellow Emperor climbed Xiongxiang on his southern tour in the historical records."

Mr.

Lu explained.

At the end of the mountain road is a large, bare reddish-brown rock, like a human baldness, shining shiny in the setting sun.

"We've got to get out of the car and walk."

Lu Taiguan said.

Mingyue looked at the boulder curiously and said, "This stone looks like a human bald head. ” Taiguan Lu smiled and said: "My aunt and bald old woman got her name from this, she lives in the bamboo forest by the river behind the bald rock, and there is a big mountain in the depths of the mountain that looks more like a bald head." ” "You stay."

Taiguan Lu instructed the bodyguards in the car, and then took Mingyue along the path in the middle of the green bamboo forest.

The path seems to have been barren for a long time, with bamboos on both sides, and the stream is murmuring, which is very quiet.

"Isn't she dead?"

asked Mingyue.

"Well, but she told me that she would be buried in this bamboo forest when she died."

Mrs.

Lu replied.

In the dense bamboo forest, there is a bamboo house that is almost decayed and collapsed, and when you look closely, the basil in front of the house is thick, the cobwebs under the eaves are dense, and the indoor bamboo tables and bamboo chairs have already accumulated a thick layer of dust.

"It seems like it's been uninhabited for years."

Mingyue speculated.

Taiguan Lu stood in front of the house and sighed: "It's been more than 20 years, things are not people, and the famous bald old woman may have turned into a pair of white bones." ” "Isn't there anyone else in her house?"

asked Mingyue.

"No, my aunt was widowed soon after marrying the Wu family in Taohuajiang, and there was no heir to the incense, I heard that it was related to practicing ghost skills, and then my aunt left the village and lived alone in this bamboo forest."

Mrs.

Lu glanced at Mingyue.

The two went around to the back of the house, and sure enough, they saw an earthen grave in the bamboo forest, and in front of the tomb there was a stele and covered with green moss.

Lu Taiguan squatted down and gently rubbed off the mottled moss, revealing a line of handwriting: The Tomb of the Bald Old Woman February 14, 1951.

"The bald old woman has been dead for twenty-five years."

Mingyue gasped and said.

Taiguan Lu nodded and said to Mingyue, "Wait a minute, I'll go find a hoe." ” Mingyue stood silently in front of the grave, thinking about Taiguan Lu's words in her heart, could it be that she must be single by practicing her divine skills, and her mother-in-law is also a person, and so is a bald old woman, I don't know if the Hakka grandmother in Miaoli, Taiwan is also a person Mrs.

Lu came back with a rusty iron hoe, spat at the palm of his hand, and began to dig hard.

The bamboo forest is very quiet, only the sound of "poof" plowing, and after a while, the brown coffin board can be seen.

"Mingyue, lean back, the bones in the coffin smell terrible."

Lu Taiguan said with concern.

Mingyue shook her head, still standing aside and watching, the dead man was much more visible.

The coffin lid creaked open.

It was empty, and there were no bones at all Taiguan Lu looked at the empty coffin in surprise, and was speechless for a while.

"What's that" The careful Mingyue found a small thin stone slab lying on the bottom of the coffin, with a layer of dust on the surface area.

Lu Taiguan bent down and picked up the stone slab and brushed away the dust, which was a bluestone slab with words engraved on it.

"The bald old woman, the bloody corpse official, the day we met, the top of the stone man, the clear spring in the eyes, a wisp of green smoke, wolf teeth, hidden in the hole.

Remember.

Taiguan Lu carefully identified it and read it slowly in his mouth.

Mingyue looked at him puzzled.

"She asked me to see her."

Lu Taiguan said.

"But this tomb was buried in 1951," Mingyue wondered.

"Yes, the bald old woman thought I would come back soon, but she didn't expect to wait 25 years."

Mrs.

Lu said with a heavy heart.

There are always many incomprehensible things in the world, which Mingyue deeply feels, just like her mother-in-law and Gu Xian, the two are so in love but they can't live together but can only die in the same hole, alas, but the bald old woman is the aunt of Taiguan Lu, and it will never involve the love between men and women.

"Where is she waiting for you," Mingyue said quietly.

"It's the bald stone mountain in the depths of the mountain, we used to speak here in the vernacular, bald is also called a stone man, would you like to go with you?"

asked Taiguan Lu.

Mingyue felt that this matter was a little unbelievable, so she aroused the curiosity in her heart, so she said, "Okay." ” Lu Taiguan and Mingyue hiked through a large bamboo forest, and walked along the rugged sheep's intestine path full of thorns towards the deep mountains
