"If you have extremely beautiful bones, you will be alone. If you are alone, you will be widowed...or taciturn, or emotionless, or indecisive..." Liu Jing pondered for a moment.

Xue Fan's eyes were bright, blinking again and again as he looked at King Song who had already believed this, and then heard King Song say: "Is Taoist Master Miexuan in the Jade Capital?"

Xue Fan nodded.

"Can the young gentleman take me to visit his old man?"

Xue Fan said: "My master doesn't want to be disturbed by others, so he doesn't reveal his whereabouts easily, but he said that if His Highness insists on seeing him, he will not refuse. After all, Your Highness is not an ordinary person."

"Then I'll bother you, young sir."

So the two of them left the White Jade Palace in a chariot.

The chariot was driving slowly on the streets of Yudu, and Liu Jing looked at the capital of the Song Dynasty in the soft snow. It came and went, and returned, familiar and unfamiliar. The city is still this city, but things have changed and people have changed.

Xue Fan secretly rejoiced: "I didn't expect that, just as Brother Buqi wrote, this King of Song could be so easy to deceive!"

After the chariot left the city gate, Xue Fan guided the driver to the peach grove beside the Peach Blossom River on the outskirts of the city. There was no one in the forest. The chariot passed by the tomb of King Qi Ai and the tavern that Liu Jing used to frequent without stopping.

At the end of the forest was a dense forest. After walking along a remote path in the forest for a long time, Liu Jing heard the faint sound of a lyre in the distance, and Xue Fan asked the driver to stop.

"Your Highness, this is my master's residence."

Liu Jing saw an old thatched cottage deep among the dry trees. The thick straw roof was covered with a thin layer of snow. The sound of the piano dispersed from the thatched cottage. It was simple and distant, like sounds from outside the sky.

Liu Jing followed Xue Fan through the snow, accompanied by the coachman. Xue Fan looked back from time to time to see the coachman. Seeing this, Liu Jing said to the coachman: "Taoist Master Miexuan doesn't like outsiders to disturb him, so just stay outside and watch."

The coachman hesitated: "Your Highness, General Ling Shang specifically asked the villain before leaving. If His Highness leaves the palace incognito, he must let the villain protect His Highness..."

Liu Jing said: "Do you listen to Ling Fei or the widow? With your skills, can you protect the widow? Just stay here and guard the carriages and horses."

The driver had no choice but to stop moving forward.

Xue Fan stepped into the thatched cottage and saluted the figure behind the bamboo curtain: "Master, Xiao Fan is back. His Royal Highness the King of Song is here too."

The sound of the piano continued without any pause.

Through the bamboo curtain, Liu Jing saw Taoist Master Mie Xuan's gray clothes, which seemed to be light and smudged after washing a touch of ink in the clear water. His silver hair was hanging down, and he did not use a hair crown. When he played the piano, his body moved with the music, and he naturally

There is a feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water.

Liu Jing stood there, waiting for the old man behind the bamboo curtain to finish playing a piece of music he had never heard before saluting: "Junior Liu Jing, I heard that the Taoist Master is here, so I came here to pay my respects."

The old man nodded slightly, put the piano aside, picked up the pen, and motioned for Xue Fan to come to him. The old man wrote a few words and asked Xue Fan to send them to Liu Jing.

When Liu Jing saw the words "Xianfeng Daogu" on the paper, but they were not strong enough, he thought that Master Miexuan was old and must not have much strength. The words "Xianfeng Daogu" were: "The wind and snow outside the house are getting thicker."

, a gentleman does not need to stay any longer."

Liu Jing said: "Thank you for your concern, Taoist priest. I don't dare to disturb the Taoist priest too much, but I came here to pay my respects. I do have something to ask the Taoist priest. I hope that the Taoist priest can help me solve the problem in my heart."

After saying that, Liu Jing waited for a while, but did not hear the old man's answer. Xue Mangan explained: "I forgot to tell Your Highness that my master suffered from a serious illness in childhood and became mute and cannot speak."

Liu Jing bowed again and said: "Junior is reckless."

The old man was writing at his desk again. After writing, he motioned for Xue Fan to go over and get it.

After going back and forth, Xue Fan handed another piece of paper to Liu Jing. The paper wrote: "The gentleman is healthy and in the prime of life. Why is he sick? The gentleman sits in the world and controls the life and death of the people. Why is he here?"

Asking for fate?"

While Liu Jing was deep in thought, Liu Rong, pretending to be an old man behind the bamboo curtain, was holding a pen in one hand and hiding under the case with the other hand, pulling on a string. As long as the string was pulled, the mechanism on the top of the thatched cottage would open.

At that time, dozens of arrows soaked in the secret poison of Yaowang Mountain will fly towards Liu Jing at the same time.

Liu Rong had mixed feelings in his heart: "Back then, there was heavy snowfall on the top of the Peerless Peak, and you used an arrow array to force me to jump off the cliff, killing my adoptive father! Today, I can also use an arrow array to take your life!"

But if I do this, how will it be different from you back then?

If you die, the entire Song Kingdom will be buried with you under the swords, guns, swords and halberds of the Chu army! And I... I am half of the Song Kingdom's blood after all. I just no longer have the ability to fight with you for what should not be yours in the first place.

The position of King of Song Dynasty.

Moreover, everyone in the world knows that you are Liu En's father... Even if they hate you, they definitely don't want you to die. Liu Jing, Liu Jing, how virtuous and capable are you?

From beginning to end, I have been silently facing you and protecting you from a distance?

Today your life is in my hands, and you can only be used by me!"

At this time, Liu Jing replied: "To be honest, I actually... have a heart disease that is difficult to endure. I don't know how to cure this heart disease. In the past few years, I have asked immortals several times, but every time I met an 'immortal'

, 'alchemist', 'miraculous doctor' and so on, they are all flatterers, so they had to give up. But when the junior talked to Mr.

I know the junior very well when I find out that he has two identities and is in a dilemma. What the young gentleman said based on the physiognomy is also very appropriate."

The old man said nothing, and slowly moved the lyre in front of him, playing an ancient rhyme that Liu Jing had never heard before.

Most of the lyre music composed by King Le of Zhou has been passed down to this day, while the ancient Zhou music before him has long disappeared. Liu Rong played the ancient music that was hidden in the ancient tomb of King Zhou on Xuanji Island. Such ancient music

, because its music score is obscure, its style is dull, and it requires the player to be extremely skilled, holding a piece in each hand, and the two pieces blend into a rhyme, so it is difficult to spread to the world.

When Liu Rong was a child, he studied piano with Zhuge Dunji. In order to train his patience, Zhuge Dunji asked him to play ancient songs that were difficult to spread.

Liu Rong naturally found it extremely boring. In contrast, studying those strange ancient songs was not boring.

As a child, he learned things very quickly and memorized them very clearly. Now he picked them up at his fingertips, and the familiar music seemed to take him back to an isolated island where there was no one to disturb him.

Liu Jing was at a loss when Xue Fan smiled and said to him: "Don't be surprised, Your Highness. My master doesn't play the piano to blow His Highness away. What he plays is music that can make people clear their minds. Since Your Highness comes to treat heart disease, you know that the heart disease is not serious."

Medicine and stone can heal. There is a saying in medical books - the heart needs to be explained by words. The words can be used to relieve depression and eliminate all kinds of diseases. Your Highness, you may as well calm down and listen to my master playing the piano. While listening, tell me what you want to say to my master.
