“是因为后面人太多，我不小心推了你。素欢不是故意的，你别怪我！”焦飞回头望去，白衣女子身后空无一人。他心中略感蹊跷，但怒气渐渐平息，开口道：“只是小事一桩，小姐不必介意。不过这里人多，还望小姐小心，免得摔倒受伤。”焦飞虽然惊讶女子如此美丽，又独自一人外出，但也不想惹是生非，以为女子会自己处理。岂料，那名叫素欢的女子却拉着他的袖子，轻声哀求道：“素欢好不容易偷偷溜出来，就是想看看水陆会，可惜我来得太晚，时间太短，什么也没看到。不知您能否借我几块砖石，让素欢看看？”焦飞也是个心思缜密的青年。他闻言笑了笑，让开一条路让女孩爬上来。他看了许久，也没看出水陆大会有什么稀奇之处。虽然热闹非凡，但别说本地的僧道，各种风格应有尽有，更有那些外来的奇人，喷火吞剑，花样百出，那是白石镇见不到的奇观。但真正的高手，寥寥无几。

若非焦飞还未拜为弟子，定会看得不亦乐乎，这些人跟自己师父一比，顿时胜过唐朝皇帝召开的水陆大会上的僧人和道人。

“我师父半夜里看到一圈黑光，笼罩了整个道观。这些人加起来，实力也不算太强。也不知道李家皇帝召开这水陆大会，能不能真的延年益寿。”

焦飞沉吟片刻，无意间扭头看到那白衣少女脸色骤变，似咬牙切齿，怒气冲天，却又带着几分可爱，着实令人动容。他不知少女看到了什么，只见她朝着朱雀街的方向望去，便见一股妖气冲天而起。妖气之上，却笼罩着一圈灵光，气势之盛，在这场水陆大会上，唯独没有这般景象。焦飞正琢磨着看完热闹要不要回去，却听前方有人议论纷纷：“不愧是皇家气息，这可是盛世繁华，才会有这么多奇人从四面八方涌来。如今光是游行队伍就这么漂亮，不知道待会儿芦苇荡那边的景象会是怎样。”

“所以待会儿会有一场芦苇席上的搏斗，我很好奇那是什么表演，但是我上哪儿找个能一眼看到的地方呢，不然人会那么多，我个子矮，什么也看不见！”

焦飞四下望去，突然看到朱雀街东侧有一座高塔。他本来就是个喜欢搞怪的人，心中暗道：“这座高塔就在朱雀街旁边，离皇宫也不远。估计芦苇荡打斗的时候，李家皇帝也要在皇城楼上观看，自然要离那里近一些。”

焦飞刚要走，就听得一道柔和的声音，带着歉意说道：“先生，我占了您的位子好久了，恐怕让您等得急了，实在不好意思。”

焦飞听到了素欢少女的声音，头也不回地摇了摇头，说道：“只是一件小事，这水陆大会也没什么意思，我已经看过了，就算了。”

苏欢笑容甜美，真是灿烂无比，她指着焦妃刚才看到的那座高塔，低声说道：“待会儿有一场芦席之战，这塔是现任尚书严纲为他母亲祈福而建，正适合观赏，不如我们一起偷偷上去看看热闹！”

不等娇妃回答，女孩便牵起了娇妃的手。两人都十二三岁的年纪，宛如金童玉女，手牵着手，携手而行。若非众人正看水陆大会的热闹，根本无人会注意到。光是娇妃和那名叫苏欢的女孩牵着手的景象，就已是格外引人注目。

Although Jiao Fei is not in good health, a little thin, and his face is a little sallow, he has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looks handsome. He has studied with Master Jing for several years, and has a little bookish air. He is also a handsome young man.

If he had not already had the demeanor of a 30% or 40% elegant scholar, the mother and daughter of the Lin family would not have agreed immediately when Jiao Fei's mother came to propose marriage. In addition to seeing that Jiao Fei was born well and worthy of her daughter, Widow Lin also felt that Jiao Fei was smart and had a bright future. If he really passed the examination and became a juren or jinshi, it would not only bring honor to the family, but also bring her and her daughter, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of their lives and be prominent in front of others.

When Jiao Fei was pulled by Su Huan's hand, his heart was immediately warmed. Although he was naughty, he was kind-hearted. He was also under Master Jing's tutelage, so he was able to cultivate the way of dealing with people and understand etiquette. He knew that men and women should not be so close to each other, but somehow Su Huan made him feel very willing to be close to her, so he let Su Huan walk hand in hand without saying a word.

Su Huan seemed to be very familiar with Chang'an City. She walked through the streets and alleys and came to the back of the house of Yan Gang, the Shangshu of this dynasty. She patted Jiao Fei's shoulder. Jiao Fei knew the opportunity and half squatted down. Su Huan's plain white bow shoes stepped lightly on his knees and shoulders. She grabbed the blue bricks on the wall and climbed up easily. She sat on the wall and waved to Jiao Fei with a smile.

Jiao Fei could still feel Su Huan's steps on him, and the incomparable fragrance was rippling in his heart. When he suddenly looked up at Su Huan on the wall, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "I've heard that practitioners should keep their virginity and pure yang energy. I finally got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to practice with my master, but how come I'm so amorous and coquettish when I see this girl?"

With this determination in his heart, Jiao Fei was not only not restrained, but also opened his mind, thinking to himself: "As long as I don't have evil thoughts, it doesn't matter if the flowers roll by. Monk Yuan Zhen of this dynasty said: I'm too lazy to look back at the flowers. Why can't I learn from that gentleman?"

想到这里，焦飞完全忘记了自己体力不支，不擅长爬墙。这么高的院墙，他根本不可能爬上去，但不知怎么的，他好像担心了什么，竟然翻身爬上了墙头。焦飞骑上墙头，面对着苏欢，突然想到：“我是怎么上来的？”

素欢见娇妃脸上有些脏，便笑着伸袖帮他擦了擦，说道：“这次水陆之会，颜尚书必定会随厉帝而去，他们的家人也不愿出席，楼上肯定没人，咱们赶紧……”
