Chapter 58(1/2)
Beauty’s fate
In the swirling light and rain, a peerless beauty is dancing gracefully, her green silk hair is like a waterfall, her elegance is unparalleled, her wide sleeves are fluttering, and her clothes are wispy.
"There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent.
Look at the charming city once, and then look at the charming country.
I would rather not know a beautiful city or a beautiful country. Beautiful women are hard to come by.
…”
Amid the flying skirts, you can vaguely hear singing, full of ancient charm...
"Is she a young girl?!"
I was filled with confusion by the scene in front of me, and I really couldn't connect the peerless beauty in front of me with the ferocious-looking childish girl.
The woman danced gracefully in the light and rain, with her wide sleeves covering her face, she was smiling softly, with bright eyes and white teeth and red lips, just like an elf falling in the mortal world. Just a smile made me feel that the whole world was so bright.
.
I talked to her and she didn't respond.
So I stretched out my hand to grab her, but I missed it. My palm passed through Guangyu and her body, and I didn't feel anything strange at all.
"No need to try, she's already gone."
My master stood beside me at some point and sighed: "This is just a flashback in time, a glimpse of the past. It may be a certain episode in her life, framed and interwoven at this moment.
This woman... is too obsessed after all."
In the final analysis, all of this is just a touch of the heartstrings at the fingertips, and it will eventually return to nothingness.
The young lady in front of me is so beautiful. Judging from her clothes, she must have been from the Western Han Dynasty, and she must have been extremely expensive.
I silently retracted my hand. The result of this confrontation and communication that spanned a thousand years was really disappointing.
"Who am I? What am I worth?"
I whispered to myself. At this time, I had too many confusions and questions in my heart: "Why does she want to protect me, an ordinary boy with no skills? I owe so much, and I will not be able to live in peace for the rest of my life."
"Don't doubt yourself."
My master held my shoulders with both hands. His hands were very strong. He stared at me with his deep eyes. He probably saw my depression at this moment and said: "The glory of the etiquette officer sect has become the past. Generation after generation it has declined.
, it is almost unremarkable now, but you are different. At least there is hope in you, and there are too many possibilities in the future. I believe that this painting Rakshasa also takes a fancy to this, and she should be asking for something from you.
That's why, you know, a grown-up etiquette officer... can do too many things! So, you don't have to feel too burdened, this is considered an investment."
My master probably just wanted me to let go of the knot in my heart and was so comforted.
But all I could think of were the four words "asking for something from me", and my spirits were lifted: "Yes, there is no free love. She should be asking for something from me, but... what does she want from me?"
What to do?”
My master was a little surprised. He probably didn’t expect that I would get into trouble, so he couldn’t help laughing: “You have to ask her herself about this.”
After finishing his words, he stretched out his index finger into the light rain and touched the girl's body gently.
The swirling light rain was instantly shattered, and the originally dreamy and beautiful scene changed dramatically. The dark wind was roaring, and a cloud of mist was shrouded in front of me.
When the mist falls on my skin, it doesn't feel moist, but it feels chilly to the bone.
This is extremely rich Yin Qi!
A shrill scream emanated from this mass of yin energy, and a ferocious face like broken porcelain loomed.
This is the childish girl, the childish girl I am familiar with. However, this face is not peaceful, it is terrifying and ferocious.
"Where is the hatred? Where is the resentment? It is easy to lose the sky, but it is difficult to keep an inch. Life is short, and idiots should wake up!"
My master sighed sadly. Every word and every sentence had a magical power, as if these words had vitality when they came out of his mouth. They struck hard in my heart, like drums at dusk and bells in the morning, which cheered up my sluggish spirit.
The young mother who was lost in the violence also woke up, the strong Yin Qi disappeared, but her figure became fainter at an alarming speed, and her soul was about to disappear.
"painting……"
The childish mother spoke in an urgent tone, probably knowing that she didn't have much time: "Go to the Yinren Inn, find the ferryman, and ask for the painting... you will know everything."
Ferryman?
As soon as I heard about the old man, I felt like I was getting hairy all over. I always felt that getting involved too much with that old guy would not bring good results, but at this time I had to bite the bullet and agreed: "Okay, I will go find him and get the painting back."
!”
"I have thanked you, I have no regrets anymore."
A smile finally appeared on the girl's face. She looked at me and suddenly said: "You once asked me my name. Remember, my name is Wangqing. I am from Xindu, Guangchuan. I hope you can find it in the huge crowd.
I, we... are destined to meet again..."
After saying this, the Yin Qi was shattered, and the young mother also disappeared. A ray of fragrant soul did not know where to take refuge.
Looking at the empty tomb in front of me, I sighed with sadness.
"It seems that you have found yourself another big problem."
My master patted me on the shoulder, but didn’t say what I did was wrong. He just reminded me: "There must be something unusual about this woman. The promise you made can be regarded as a great promise. I must help you in the future."
She's done it, and if she doesn't do it well, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
I smiled, and felt a lot more relaxed in my heart, although I could probably guess that this matter must be a bit tricky, and it would be very troublesome, otherwise the young lady would not have gone through such a big circle to find me with such a so-called "
Potential stocks”.
However, no matter how difficult things are, I admit it!
Just try your best if you are not capable, it is better than carrying guilt in your heart.
"Wang Qing...this name seems a bit familiar..."
Suddenly, someone interrupted.
The one who spoke was Zhang Xinya. She woke up at some point and was taking care of Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai. The three of them were seriously injured. Lao Bai had a cut on his head and Brother Yaozi had a broken arm. She was stunned and broke it back. It hurt.
His whole body was trembling.
Obviously, they had woken up when the young mother left and witnessed everything. Unfortunately, I was too distracted at the time to notice at all.
I stepped forward to help Brother Yaozi up, then sat down next to Zhang Xinya and asked, "Do you know her?"
"I have an impression, please let me think about it!"
Zhang Xinya rolled her eyes at me, and while rubbing the bruises on her body, she muttered to herself: "Wang Qing, from Xindu, Guangchuan... Wang Qing..."
"hiss!"
Suddenly, she took a deep breath and said loudly: "Tao Wangqing!! This is really a famous actor!!"
Having a conversation with an ancient celebrity after thousands of years is too dreamy. Not to mention me, even a person with a weak mind like my master has the desire to explore the child.
"A tragic woman who is full of talent and dares to challenge the world..."
Zhang Xinya shook her head and said: "If this young lady is really the Tao Wangqing in history, she was once the woman I admired most, but she was also a woman who made people feel distressed. She was completely a victim of the male totalitarian society...
…”
Not to mention whether her guess was correct or not, but I was indeed unfamiliar with the name Tao Wangqing, so I could only urge Zhang Xinya to continue.
The Tao Wangqing she mentioned was indeed a bold master.
This is the first model in Chinese history. To be precise, she is the one without clothes...
Although there is no distinction between high and low professions, this kind of profession, even now, will inevitably be viewed by some people with colored glasses, let alone in ancient times, which requires a strong heart to withstand rumors.
Let’s talk about Tao Wangqing. She was a very famous beauty from the Western Han Dynasty in history. She was young and beautiful, like a fairy. She was forcibly married as a concubine by Liu Qu, King Hui of Guangchuan. However, this Liu Qu had a jealous queen named Zhaoxin. Zhaoxin saw Liu Qu doting on Tao Wangqing.
, he spoke ill of Tao Wangqing behind his back over and over again, but Liu Qu didn't care at all.
Like most women, Tao Wangqing also loves beauty. Just like modern women who like to take photos to keep their youth as souvenirs, Tao Wangqing had similar thoughts, so she asked a painter to draw a painting for her...
It was precisely because this painting brought her great disaster. People at the time didn't care whether it was art or not. The world was more harmful to women. Tao Wangqing's behavior was immediately labeled as unruly.
However, Liu Qu was not afraid of anything except being accused of being a cuckold. After Zhao Xin revealed the matter, Liu Qu ignored Tao Wangqing again. After falling out of favor, her disaster really began...
Throughout China's thousand-year feudal society, women have been harmed and even killed by male totalitarianism. Only two dynasties are special, that is, the strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Women in the Tang Dynasty were open and fierce, while women in the Han Dynasty,
It's hard to say, hard to describe...
In short, it is all the fault of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He made a good start by marrying the powerful Empress Lu. Since then, there have always been two power groups in the Han court. One is the patrilineal power headed by the emperor.
, one is the matrilineal power dominated by the Queen Mother, the two powers are strong and the other is weak, restraining and balancing each other. Even the talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to look at the face of Mrs. Dou when he was young, and no one could escape from this cage.
.
When the matriarchal power of the Han Dynasty gained the upper hand, there would most likely be a liquidation of the harem. The three palaces and six courtyards satisfied men's possessiveness and selfishness, but women would inevitably have resentments between each other.
, it’s strange that the woman in power doesn’t clean up others!
Mrs. Qi who was turned into a human pig is a representative!!
Tao Wangqing did not escape this law of the Han Dynasty!
After falling out of favor, she was tortured by Zhao Xin, failed to commit suicide, and suffered cruel torture. Madam Qi's end was much worse. Not only was she made worse than a human pig, but she was even cooked in the end...
To be continued...
