Chapter 33: The Adventure of Dayong

This thought made Caiwei very sad. As a mother, she knew very clearly that nothing in the world could be more painful than losing a child. She simply didn't know how to tell Mrs. Xiao.

Fortunately, the Xiao family was in the space and did not know the situation outside, so she had to lie to her and said that Da Jin had something to do temporarily and they had to return early and could not take her to see her daughter for the time being.

Mrs. Xiao was an honest person, so she believed what Caiwei said. Although she was a little disappointed, she couldn't say much.

That night, Caiwei and Nangong Yi, who were tired of travel, stayed in the space and stayed silent all night.

When she got up the next day, it was already dawn outside. After Caiwei got up, she dressed up, had another hearty breakfast made by her husband, and then decided to find out the cause of Xiao's daughter's death and where she was buried.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret for long, Mrs. Xiao will have to know sooner or later.

Naturally, Nangong Yi had to accompany her. The couple went to a teahouse near the Chu Palace, rewarded the waiter with a tael of silver, and asked the waiter about the situation in the Chu Palace.

One tael of silver is indeed a large amount of money in the eyes of ordinary people. After receiving the huge bounty of one tael of silver, the waiter naturally knew everything about it. He spoke mysteriously to Caiwei and Nangong Yi said: "The two guests are not from the capital, so why don't they even know about the situation in the Prince of Chu's Mansion? To tell you the truth, the Prince of Chu's Mansion almost became Long Qian!"

Having said this, he looked around cautiously, and when he saw no one, he whispered: "I think when the prince died, the late emperor almost made the King of Chu the prince. However, our Queen Mother is still powerful. In order not to After the power fell, he adopted a prince and married the princess of Qingluo to that prince to increase the weight of her adopted son. After weighing it, the late emperor gave up the king of Chu and established the queen mother. The adopted son is the crown prince, oh, this adopted son is the current His Majesty!"

Caiwei was not interested in knowing how the emperor was doing now. She only wanted to know how Xiao's daughter, Princess Chu, was doing, so she asked, "What about King Chu? How is he doing now?"

The waiter said "Hi" and said: "What else can we do? Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the thief. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he was very afraid of the King of Chu. Not only did he not be allowed to go to the fiefdom, he was not even allowed to hold a position in the court. No, the people in the court were accustomed to following the wind. Seeing that His Majesty did not want to see the King of Chu, they all began to exclude him. The step-concubine of the King of Chu was originally destined to be the legitimate daughter of Princess Gaoyang, but when they got married, Princess Gao Yang The princess actually changed things and married her legitimate daughter into the palace to become a concubine. Instead, she married the concubine from a concubine's concubine to the Prince of Chu's palace to become a concubine! The dignified King of Chu, the second son of the late emperor, actually married a foreign concubine. I am afraid that no man can accept the shame of turning a concubine out of a concubine into a concubine!"

Caiwei had already heard these things that the waiter said from Mrs. Xiao. What she wanted to know was not how the King of Chu was wronged, but what happened to the Princess of Chu. She said: "So, the new Princess of Chu is in Chu Life in the palace is not easy, right?"

The waiter spread his hands and said, "Who knows? We ordinary people like us can't find out what's going on in other people's houses."

After asking for a long time, the boy didn't know anything. Caiwei was a little frustrated. At this time, a babbling sound came from the theater across the street, and a girl could vaguely be heard singing: " It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, but all the ruins are ruined. No matter how beautiful the scenery is during the good times, who can enjoy the pleasure..."

The ups and downs of the melody, euphemistic and long, made Caiwei startled when she heard it. It was not because of how well she sang, but it was just that this tune was clearly the lyrics from "The Romance of the West Chamber" that she had heard in her previous life!

Why are there lyrics from "The Romance of the West Chamber" here?

She didn't think that these lyrics came from Liu Xi. Liu Xi had no interest in poetry and songs at all. Even if he had heard of The West Chamber in his previous life, he would never remember the lyrics in it, and she herself had never been interested in poetry. Others have mentioned these lyrics. Could it be that besides her and Liu Xi, there are other old friends who have traveled through time in this world?

This idea cheered her up, and she soon forgot the trouble Princess Chu had brought her. She took out a piece of silver and handed it to the waiter, saying: "The song sung in the theater opposite was very nice. Go and call for that." Come here, the singer, and sing for us.  "

The waiter took the money and went happily.

Nangong Yi shook his fan and said lazily: "Aren't you going to find out about Xiao's daughter? Why are you suddenly interested in drama?"

Caiwei said: "The song I heard just now was a song that was circulated in the world of my previous life. It should not be in this world, so I suspect that besides me, there are others who have traveled through time. If that is the case, I must meet that person."

Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "How could such a thing happen? If this is really the case, my husband must meet him (her)."

Not long after, the waiter came back with a young actor with fine eyebrows and eyes, and introduced to Caiwei and his wife: "Master, madam, this is the Hua Dangguan from the Qingyun class opposite. She sang the song just now." Yes, if you and your wife want to hear it, let Miss Fangguan sing it for you."

Caiwei took a look at the little opera singer named Fangguan, and saw that she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slim figure, thin skin and white flesh, but she was pretty, so she said, "That's the song you just sang." The song is very fresh, what is its name? Who wrote it?"

Fang Guan was blessed and returned: "Madam, this piece is a piece from a new play that our team has recently put on. It's called "The Romance of the West Chamber". It was sold to us by a woman with a playbook. In the class, the class leader loved the story and the lyrics and music in it, so he spent ten taels of silver to buy it."

Caiwei rewarded her with a purse and said, "Do you know who that woman is?"

Fangguan took the silver, his face turned into a flower, and said: "Madam, although I don't know the origin of that old lady, what is certain is that she lives not far from our theater troupe. That old lady She was dressed very decently, but she came on foot, so we can guess that she is from our neighborhood, but we don’t know whose family she belongs to. She has only been to our theater twice, sold playbooks twice, and then came back. Pass."

"Two playbooks?"

Caiwei repeated, smiling: "What's the name of the other play?"

Fangguan said: "The Legend of White Snake is a story about a snake demon and a doctor. It's very exciting!"

Because he touched the hard thing in his purse, the little actor talked more. Without Caiwei asking questions, he simply described the outline of the story of the White Snake.

After listening to her narration, Caiwei became more sure of her guess. In this world, besides her and Liu Xi, there was a third person who had traveled through time.

"Have you seen the woman selling playbooks? What does she look like? How old is she?"

Fangguan answered truthfully, and Caiwei remembered it in her heart. As soon as Fangguan left, she called out the parrot and asked him to go find the old woman as Fangguan just said.

After receiving the order, the parrot flew up to the sky, took a brief look with its see-through mung bean eyes, and suddenly screamed strangely: "Master, the person you are looking for has been found. It's incredible!"

Caiwei said dumbfounded: "Just find it if you find it. There's nothing incredible about it!"

The parrot screamed: "It's not this woman. I mean, the person you asked me to find last night was also found, and he is with this woman?"

"Have you found Princess Chu?"

Xiaomei was surprised: "Isn't she dead?"

"I'm not dead, I'm still fine!" the parrot said, staring in a certain direction and flapping its wings.

At this moment, Caiwei was a little puzzled. Since she was not dead, there was no way the parrot could not find her! Could it be that she disguised herself last night?

However, it shouldn't be. According to her understanding, Princess Chu is a weak-tempered boudoir girl who can only sing about the wind and the moon. How could she be able to perform such a difficult trick in the world?

Seeing Caiwei's confused look, Nangong Yi couldn't help but said, "What's wrong?"

Caiwei told Yinggeer about seeing Princess Chu. Nangong Yi said, "This is not simple. Let's stay and observe, and we will definitely see the clues."

For a while, Caiwei couldn't think of a better way, so she had to agree to Nangong Yi's suggestion and let Yingge stare at Princess Chu to carefully observe what was different about her...

The parrot was also puzzled by the sudden appearance of Princess Chu. After the master gave the order, it simply flew to the courtyard where Princess Chu lived in the palace of Chu, and stared at Princess Chu's every move in the yard.

After dismissing Yingge, Caiwei and Nangong Yi also left the teahouse and went to wander elsewhere to relax.

The customs and customs of Dayong are very similar to those of Dajin. Even the street buildings are very similar to Dajin. The couple walked around the city and found nothing interesting, so they found a place to carry people and called out the condor. I took the condor to go somewhere else to relax.

The Dayong Mountains are beautiful and vast in territory. The condor circled in the sky for a while. Caiwei saw from a distance a large rolling mountain more than a hundred miles away. The mountains were as high as the clouds and towering. She looked at the condor. Said: "Go to that mountain and have a look!"

The condor chirped, flapped its wings and flew towards the mountain Caiwei was talking about. In the blink of an eye, it flew to the mountain.

When the couple came down, they saw that the mountains were covered with verdant green, surrounded by numerous peaks and peaks. The sound of the flowing spring is quiet, and the dense and tangled grass is blurry. There are towering strange trees on the cliff and strange flowers on the rocks reflecting the sun. The mountain path is deep and smoky, the wild scenery is close to the bridge and the green mist is close; the hills are far away, and the sound of pines is connected to the white clouds across the water. Xiuxi only hears the dew falling in the forest, Xiaoxiao only hears the leaves singing in the wind.

Nangong Yi took Caiwei's hand and said, "The mountain is steep. Madam, please hold me tight to prevent you from losing your footing and falling."

Caiwei had space, so even if she fell, she could hide in the space. He didn't have to worry, but he was too concerned about Caiwei, so he would inevitably be verbose.

Caiwei pursed her lips and smiled, and did not argue with him. She just held his big hand obediently, and the couple started enjoying the mountains together.

The scenery in the mountains is extremely beautiful. The mountains are green from a distance, and the green mountains are green from a close distance. The towering pines play with their shadows, and the cliffs and streams are close to the steep mountains. The green cypress shadow shakes the leopard's tail, and the green pine trees on the steep cliffs have broken teeth; the old dragon's waist looks like a ladder when looking up, and like a cave like a pit when looking down. Thousands of green mountains connect to the sky, and the orioles fighting in the streams are worried about the long-distance households. The mountain path is rugged and difficult to enter and exit; the water path is tortuous and flows in and out. There is endless life on the treetops: the birds are singing in a soothing and gentle way; it is precisely because of watching them that one cannot let go, and one is so happy that one forgets to return home.

Unexpectedly, it was noon, Caiwei was a little tired, and was planning to take some time to make something to eat. Suddenly, she heard a long and long song of a woman coming from a distance: "Chaos never remembers the year, and everyone makes up for it with wonderful ways." "Quan, there was no Xing He Dou at that time, we were there first and then Tian."

Hearing the singing, Caiwei and Nangong Yi were both shocked. "First there will be us and then there will be heaven." What an arrogant language this is. It can be seen that there is a woman in the deep mountains and she speaks such mysterious and profound words. She was by no means an ordinary person. The couple stood up in unison and followed the singing.

From a distance, they saw a girl who looked like a girl, with her back to them, walking in the opposite direction.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Caiwei called out the condor and rode it to chase the Taoist nun.

The speed of the condor can be said to be thousands of miles per day. It stands to reason that it can catch up with the singing Taoist nun in the blink of an eye.

However, the strange thing is that no matter how hard the condor chases, it can't catch up with the slow-moving woman in front of it, and the mountain becomes bigger, as if it is boundless. The condor has been flying for a long time, but it has not yet flown out.

The woman in front walked leisurely and sang: "You should know that there is a way to eternal life outside the world, and you will be a carefree and immortal immortal. Reincarnation passes through skin bags, and the two qi of yin and yang are innate. Cultivate your true qi on Fuyou Island, and you are destined. When you understand Taoism, you clearly point out that there is no wonder in life, but you have no choice but to give up your mind."

Although the two sides were far apart, the singing was as clear as in my ears. After the Taoist nun finished singing, she disappeared.

Caiwei and Nangong Yi were horrified, so they let the condor stop somewhere where the Taoist nun was not visible. They got off the condor and rushed over.

The place where the Taoist nun disappeared was a small cave hidden by flowers and trees. The entrance was more than two meters high and so narrow that only one person could enter sideways.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Caiwei let go of Nangong Yi's hand and turned sideways to crawl into the cave.

Nangong Yi poked his head and looked into the cave. Seeing that it was dark inside and couldn't see anything, he said, "I'll go first. Just follow me."

Caiwei knew that the man was caring about her, so she smiled and followed his words.

Entering the cave, it was so cold inside that she couldn't see her fingers. Caiwei took out one of the night pearls in the space, illuminated it, and looked at the cave.

The cave is not big, only about two or three feet wide, and is surrounded by stone walls. There is nothing strange about it. Moreover, the mud under the feet is slippery and tight, making it impossible to move. The couple looked at it for a while, but they couldn't see any clues. , Nangong Yi said: "Look, there is nothing, just a broken cave. Let's go back."

Caiwei said a little unwillingly: "But the fairy girl just now clearly disappeared here!"

Nangong Yi smiled and said: "How did you know that she must be a fairy girl? Maybe she is a mountain ghost and a tree spirit, transforming into a human form to amuse us."

Cai Weiyou didn't give up and called out the parrot who was monitoring Princess Chu in the city and asked him to come over and help her see if anything was wrong.

The parrot opened his clairvoyant eyes, looked around the cave, pointed to a rock more than two feet high, and said, "There is a hole behind that rock."

After hearing this, Nangong Yi flew over and moved the rock to the side. As expected, a small hole less than two feet was revealed.

"Parrot, look what's in the hole?"

Caiwei was very excited, as if an explorer had made a discovery.

Yingge Deposit looked at it for a while and said a little bit crazy: "What's going on? My eyes are out of order again. I can only see a white mist in the distance, and I can't see anything else."

Caiwei called out her long eyebrow and ordered it to go in and see what was in this small hole.

The parrot was also very curious about this invisible cave, so he also clamored to go in. Caiwei thought, this cave is very weird, I don't know whether it is good or bad inside, it is always good to have an extra helper. Then he agreed to let the parrot follow him in.

Changmei and Yingge were short in stature, so it was not difficult for them to enter the cave. The two mythical beasts bid farewell to Caiwei and soon disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

Caiwei got two chairs, a small table, and some snacks from the space. She and Nangong Yi sat in the cave, eating and waiting.

The time the two of them spent together always passed quickly. They were drinking tea and chatting. Before they knew it, it was already dark outside, but Yinggeer and Changquemei hadn't come back yet. Xiaomei lost her composure and began to contact them with her thoughts.

However, what surprised her was that Yinggeer and Changmei actually lost contact with her!

"What's going on? They actually lost contact with me!"

Because of surprise, Caiwei stood up, with a look of astonishment on her eyebrows.

Nangong Yi frowned and said, "Don't worry, try again later."
