Synopsis
Walking a hundred and twenty paces from Xiaoqiu to the west, across the bamboo poles, he heard the sound of water, like the jingle of a garlanded ring, and reached this point where he felt happy. Cutting bamboo along the way, I saw a small pool below. I was surprised. I looked closer and found that the water was especially clear and cold. Under the water, there was a portrait of a woman, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes. It was like falling into a dream in the panic. The shadows of the trees gathered, surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides. It was lonely and desolate. Suddenly a female voice came: Who is here? Looking around, he couldn't see anyone. Next, he saw Xiaotanjue, who was in the painting. He actually opened his face and opened his mouth. The person in the painting wants to keep the young man to accompany him in Xiaoshitan. The young man is frightened and wants to escape. He sees mountains rolling towards him. The person in the painting speaks: I have been placed in the deep Tan for a hundred years. I don't know if anything has changed in the past hundred years. You are here today. It is fate. Please tell me about the incident outside the Tan. Therefore, it leads to the previous chapter "Picking Celery Volume" "Picking Cinnamon is like a painting, soaring upwards." Prince Jian of the State of Shen used the portrait of Cai Qin to win the appreciation of the King of Qin and strive to seize military power to revive the State of Shen. The King of Qin and Princess Cai Qin of the Jin State had a long-standing relationship. Qin, Chu and Jin each had their own selfish motives. With the Six Kingdoms as the background, the story tells the story of Cai Qin and Prince Jian's deep sadomasochistic love affair. Seeing this, the young man said: Since I am talking about the external world, I would like to trouble you, Your Majesty, to speak to me about the internal world. Therefore, it leads to the second volume "Jingu Volume": Jingu blows the sheng, and hundreds of birds look towards the phoenix. During the Tang Dynasty, men were dancers, and women swore an oath of love with men. For various reasons, women wanted to flatter themselves and were greedy for power. When men died, women entered the palace. They persevered and eventually became queens and even empresses. However, all that is left is loneliness and indifference, because the most beloved one is just a musical instrument. After that, I searched for men who resembled a musical instrument and took him as my favorite, but still found nothing. (The boy is telling stories told to him by his teachers. There is a story about Emperor Wu Zetian that is circulated among the people. The boy looks the same as him) "Dream Sky Scroll" Emperor Wu woke up from his dream, and the male favorite looked at him blankly: I had a dream. I dreamed that I was locked in a pool of water and was not allowed to get out. A young man came here. I told him that I had been in the pool for a hundred years, without seeing the sun, and was in fear all day long. I asked him to tell me about things outside the world. Do you know who that young man is? The person in the painting is Emperor Wu's previous life, and the painting was made by the descendants of the previous life who fell into the water when they were fleeing. The cold air intensified the vitality of the soul, so the people in the previous life in the painting still exist. The tip is transformed into the obsession of Jingu in prison, and it can also become the soul of Jingu. Emperor Wu finally became a proud man, a lonely man. Original works, any similarity is purely coincidental. Concept: "The Story of Little Rock Pond" series is divided into three volumes, "The Story of Little Rock Pond. Picking Cinnamon Volume" and "The Story of Little Rock Pond." "Jingu Scroll" and "Little Rock Pond Story. Dream Scroll" are based on the encounter between the succubus and the lost boy in the painting of Little Rock Pond. The two agreed to get what they want by exchanging stories. , The character plot is mainly fictional, and some characters refer to historical figures, telling the intertwined interests, marriage alliances, and feelings of family and country among the Six Kingdoms of Chu, Jin, and Qin. At the same time, mythological themes and fairy tale elements are also inserted, with the main intention being "family and country" and "prosperity". This book has set up main and secondary lines. The main line is Gongzi Jian's restoration of Shen Guo and his friendship with the heroine Ansheng, and the political entanglement with Ying Zheng; the sub-line is Taishan Immortal Yuan Fuzi (the third male) who values Gongzi Jian's talent for cultivating immortals, and at the same time there is Teng She. The reincarnation of Yuanjun and Qingzhu Fairy (in the Chu Kingdom) later assisted Gongzi Jian as a hexagram master, and experienced the scene of subjugating demons and slaying demons in the process. Master Yuan is the God's perspective in the story, viewing the disputes among the six kingdoms from the perspective of heaven and man. In the story, the male protagonist Zijian longs to recover the Shen Kingdom that was engulfed by the Jin Dynasty. He climbs mountains to seek immortality, and participates in power struggles on the way to recovery. He does not hesitate to give up his beloved heroine to others in order to recover the country. This is also the huge impact of the banshee entity in Xiaoshitan. Resentment; the heroine, Princess Zhaoyang of the Jin Kingdom, accompanies Cai Qin. The faction represented by Cai Qin, Princess Zhao Yang's ascension to the emperor, is also a struggle for power in another country. As a counselor, Cai Qin is determined to be the concentrated representative of this cruel era that eats people without spitting out their bones. It shows that she and Gongzi Jian have known each other since they were young. After growing up, they secretly fell in love after going through many plots. After the two went through many hardships, Gongzijian still chose the deceased Shen State, and Shen State was already in the past. One move affected the whole body. Among them, Ying Zheng and Gongzi Jian Jian's choice led to different endings for the two of them. Ying Zheng is the second male lead in the story and the overlord who dominates the world. His ideas are not so limited. Compared with Gong Zijian, Ying Zheng's pattern is larger, and Gong Zijian loves to turn around. At the same time, starting from the group portrait, each character has their own distinctive characteristics, whether they are good or evil. The appearance or death of each character has a different reflection on the theme of the story "family and country", "prosperity" and "feelings". It contains family affection, love and friendship, and also has a smooth and refreshing look and feel. The cruelty of the power struggle has victims and exploiters, murderers and people being killed. Looking for a prosperous age in this war-torn era, a family and a country in this fragmented dynasty, and feelings in the hearts of this cold and fickle people, the melodious ancient music sounds, let us wait and see...
