Chapter Fifty-Nine: Flowers Formed by Tears
Yinglong looked at it, and on the fiery red flowers, there were several beautiful black butterflies flying and dancing, flapping their colorful wings, shuttling back and forth. Their wings are decorated with peacock blue, tiger orange and gallstone green, which are very beautiful.
Could it be that this is the legendary "dream butterfly"? They are flying here, are they collecting the dream of flowers from the other side to bring to the person they want to entrust?
Meng Po said to Yinglong: "After every kind person dies, a flower will grow here, so there are so many beautiful flowers." ”
Yinglong saw from a distance that there seemed to be a flower as white as snow standing in the sea of flowers, swaying and dancing in the wind. He wanted to go up and see what was going on at once, but he couldn't get any closer to the distant flowers, and with every step he took, the white flowers moved one step away from him.
Meng Po told Yinglong: "You can't go near it, you can't pick the flower." Because every flower on the other side is a soul's thoughts. ”
"But I saw a white flower. Yinglong said in surprise, feeling a little melancholy in his heart, he regretted that he couldn't see the true face of this flower on the other side.
"That's right, there is more than one white flower here, but everyone who has been here can only see the one that belongs to him, and not all people can come here to see the sea of flowers. ”
Meng Po glanced at Yinglong meaningfully.
"Isn't it all of them, and this white flower is still the one that belongs only to him?" Yinglong muttered in his heart, there were some questions, he didn't understand, but Meng Po was unwilling to say a word more, so that he could figure out these things.
They then walked forward, and Meng Po said that he had to be taken away now, because Yinglong must go out immediately, and there was not much time left for him.
Meng Po took Yinglong and walked a few paths, and finally came to a cave, Meng Po took out a porcelain bowl from the cloth bag, and poured a bowl of water from the jade pot around her waist, she said to Yinglong: "Young man, we are about to break up, after you drink this bowl of water, you can go out from this cave to your home." ”
Yinglong was a little nervous: "Do you want me to drink Meng Po soup?"
Meng Po noticed Yinglong's nervous appearance, and comforted him with a smile: "This is not Meng Po soup, it is the forgetful water of the Lechuan River mixed with the yellow spring water, don't believe it, what is the difference with Meng Po soup?"
Yinglong took a closer look, and the water in the bowl showed a bright orange-yellow color, bubbling with tiny bubbles, like a bowl of beer, instead of the burgundy of Meng Po soup.
Yinglong asked Meng Po in confusion: "Why do you want me to drink the water of forgetting worries?"
Seeing that Yinglong didn't understand, Meng Po explained: "If you drink it, you will forget about tonight, otherwise it will be very troublesome when you go back, and your fate will be more changeable, because just now you saw something that others can't usually see, so you must forget it, otherwise I can't let you leave here safely." ”
After listening to Meng Po's explanation, Yinglong helplessly drank the water of forgetting worries, the water of forgetting worries was slightly bitter, clear and sweet, and it seemed that it felt good to drink, as if there was a familiar taste.
Meng Po nodded, took the porcelain bowl and smiled.
She instructed Yinglong: "Remember, how can you see the truth without going through ups and downs, if you drink the elixir and jade liquid like Meng Po soup in the world, you will know the answer, but Meng Po soup may be called 'Meng Po soup', which is the 'dream' of the lover in your dreams." ”
"Meng Po Soup?" Yinglong was even more suspicious, he didn't understand what Meng Po was talking about.
But after Meng Po finished speaking, she gently pushed Yinglong, and in an instant Yinglong was pushed into the black mountain
Hole. He stumbled forward, and was immediately frightened, and involuntarily opened his arms.
In the blink of an eye, Yinglong was awakened, and sat up from the bed, all around him was dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers, "Where is this? Did I dream just now?"
He lit the lamp next to the bed in the dark, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his head, and he felt a little cold on his body.
Yinglong felt a slight pain in his head, and reached out and touched his face, looking very greasy.
He immediately realized that he had just had a dream, and it was a strange dream, and he thought about it carefully, remembering what he had dreamed about just now, but he couldn't remember it at all. I only remember that he almost fell in a black hole, as if someone else said in his ear: "How can you see the truth without going through ups and downs." ”
But who actually said that?
Yinglong was confused, feeling a little hot and dizzy now.
He got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to wash his face, and his body was immediately refreshed.
Yinglong slowly walked to the table, where there was a bottle of beer, and he pried the lid open and poured a full glass, ready to take a sip to get rid of the heat.
But when he looked at the beer in the glass, it was clear orange-yellow, bubbling with tiny bubbles, and he felt a sense of déjà vu. He suddenly felt a little strange, he seemed to have seen these things somewhere?
But when I think about it, I immediately feel that I am too careful, isn't this beer? Could it be something else? It's not the first time I've drunk beer, and I still want to do so much.
Then Yinglong drank it in one gulp, and the refreshing beer still gave him that familiar feeling, but the dry and sticky taste in his mouth suddenly disappeared.
Yinglong took a deep breath and stared out the window, as if thinking about something.
Although it was dark outside the window, he felt that he had walked a long way before, but he couldn't tell what was going on, could it be that he had a strange dream just now, but he didn't remember anything in the dream now. This made him feel very troubled, what kind of things he had experienced in his dreams, and now he had forgotten all about it.
Only the vaguely heard sentence still has some impressions: "How can you see the truth without experiencing ups and downs." ”
Who said this, and why did you tell him this?
Yinglong didn't understand it at all, although he could understand this sentence, but what was it implying that maybe he should think about it.
Yinglong looked at his watch, the time was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and it was time to go to work after taking a three-hour nap.
So he drank another half glass of wine, closed the lid, and flew to bed squinting his eyes, ready to catch up on another sleep and get up to work.
After getting up in the morning, Yinglong hurried to the unit. I ate a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall, and when I arrived at the unit, I started my day's work.
It's still a daily necessity, and after most of the work is done, he chats with his colleagues about topics of interest.
A colleague said that a friend of his was traveling abroad and saw a very strange, fiery red flower called "Manju Sahua", which is also known as the "flower of the other side".
Yinglong thought it was strange, this kind of flower had only been heard of in stories before, but he didn't expect that there was such a flower in reality.
Yinglong felt strange, isn't the flower on the other side a flower that only exists in the underworld?
The colleague told him with certainty that this flower does exist, and its appearance is similar to the legend, there are flowers but no leaves, and flowers and leaves will never meet.
The colleagues were very surprised, and Yinglong was also very strange, it turned out that the legendary things in the underworld really existed in the world, and they could still see real samples.
So what does this flower look like? Will it be the same as the legend? Yinglong searched the computer with curiosity, and soon found information about the flower on the web page.
It turns out that there is really a flower on the other side, and the name is Manzhu Shahua. There are also pictures of flowers on the Internet, but he hasn't paid attention to them before.
The flowers are bright red, and the petals and stamens are exquisite, blooming like gold and silver hooks.
Unlike other flowers, it has no leaves, of course, when it blooms, there are no leaves, so legend has it that flowers and leaves never meet.
The red flower is also called Manzhu Sawah, because the flower and the leaf can not appear at the same time, meaning the sadness of the people who love each other can never see each other, so it is called the other side flower.
It is rumored on the Internet that there are two flower demons who guard the flowers on the other side, one is called Manzhu and the other is called Shahua. Because of the fact that Hanaba never saw each other, they hadn't seen each other for a thousand years.
One July, they finally saw each other and fell hopelessly in love with each other. So in July of this year, the mountains were full of bright red and blood-like flowers.
Because the two of them violated the rules of heaven, they were thrown into the cycle of life and death.
From then on, whenever they passed by the underworld, they would see the beautiful flowers on the other side and smell the attractive fragrance of the flowers, and they would think of their past lives and not feel tears rippling.
But Manzhu and Sahua don't want to be separated, but God wants them to find the flower that is made of tears and belongs only to them to keep them together.
They searched all over the mountains and fields but couldn't find it, but they didn't know which flower on the other side was the flower they were looking for, so they couldn't realize their long-cherished wish, and from then on they could only wander in the cycle of life and death.
Yinglong saw a white flower named Mandala Hua. In Buddhist texts, it is called the White Lotus, which means the flower of heaven.
Perhaps this is the flower that was watered with their blood and condensed by their tears, so it looks crystal clear and pure white as snow.
Yinglong just speculated, but didn't have an accurate answer to him. You must know that there are many red flowers, but there are few white ones.
Yinglong looked at these pictures and was quite touched, but he felt that he seemed to have seen these somewhere, but he couldn't remember them for a while. Especially the white flower on the other side, it is a little familiar.
Yinglong didn't want to think about it too much and put down the mouse. In the general impression, the rose represents love, which means passionate love. But the flower on the other side has another meaning, representing the love of the past and the present life, the fate that has long been destined in the dark, and it is a kind of passionate love, which can only be experienced by experiencing the cycle of life and death.
Everyone will have a different experience when they see the flowers on the other side, or hear these stories, and everyone thinks about the meaning differently.
However, Yinglong saw the consistent thousand-year-old love affair from the story of the flower on the other side.
He couldn't help but feel that the factor of fate always runs through the middle of the story. Fate gathers and scatters, even after several lifetimes of reincarnation, it can be found.
However, now many people don't believe in fate and reincarnation, at least the reincarnation of life and death is considered a false thing in the eyes of many people, and even Yinglong doesn't believe in it.
A lot of the time, he just treats these as legends. Because no one has ever seen it, how can something that has not been seen for sure be considered to be real? let alone verified, and it is just some legend.
Yinglong feels that the flowers on the other side just add some mystery to the love stories in the world, and also feels that these stories make people think that love is sincere and precious.
When he saw Yuxin at night, he remembered what he had seen during the day, so he said to her, "Have you seen the flowers on the other side?"
Yu Xin was a little curious: "The flower on the other side, the legendary flower of the underworld?"
Yinglong told her: "Yes, the flower on the other side is a real thing, I saw it on the Internet during the day. ”
Yu Xin smiled: "I haven't heard much about it before, but many people are taboo about this." ”
When Yinglong heard this, he hurriedly said, "But I think something is wrong! At least I don't think so." ”
So he described the information he saw during the day and his own thoughts, and he said that the flower on the other side represents the love of the past and the present life, and it is an eternal love.
Yu Xin listened carefully, with a slight smile in her eyes.
After listening to Yinglong's speech, Yu Xin said with interest: "It seems that your thoughts are different from other people's, although the other side flower also represents love, but few people can connect it with love in reality." What's more, you still think that the other side flower that Manzhu and Sawa are looking for in the legend should be a white mandala flower."
Yinglong saw that Yu Xin agreed with his statement, so he casually responded: "If you want me to say that's it!"
After listening to this, Yu Xin added: "It seems that Manzhu and Sha Hua are also inseparable!"
Yinglong smiled when he heard this: "Yes, that's the way it is!"
Yu Xin smiled silently, then leaned against the head of the bed and thought about something silently.
Yinglong noticed Yu Xin's silence, so he wanted to ask her another question, but he stopped talking in a flash.
Yu Xin found that Yinglong wanted to say but didn't want to say it, and hurriedly asked him, "Yinglong, do you have anything to say?"
Yinglong hesitated a little: "Forget it, let's not talk about it." ”
Yu Xin pulled Yinglong's arm: "Just say something?"
Yinglong shook his head: "Forget it." ”
Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, and said with a little temper: "Just talk about anything!"
Seeing this, Yinglong had no choice but to say slowly: "Then, don't be angry when you say it." ”
Yuxin said, "Okay! I'm not angry. ”
Yinglong slowly spoke: "Why did you look so scared that night, was that dream scary?"
Yu Xin sighed immediately when she heard this: "That's what you want to say, but I don't think there's anything to say." ”
Yinglong was a little disappointed: "Then forget it, don't say it if it's not good." ”
In fact, Yinglong also has a question about himself, that is, he also had a dream that night, but he doesn't remember any dream, but he still vaguely remembers the words in the dream.
Yu Xin saw that Yinglong was a little disappointed, so he said casually: "Yinglong, are you afraid of snakes?
When Yinglong heard Yu Xin say this, he probably understood a little in his heart, and he immediately guessed: "Could it be that Yu Xin dreamed of a big python? It must have something to do with my joke." ”
So he said: "Big python, Yuxin is really sorry, I shouldn't have made that joke that day, and said that I would throw you to the python to eat!"
Yu Xin smiled: "It's okay, but I have to blame you, next time don't say that I'll be left alone!"
Yinglong took Yu Xin's hand and smiled: "Next time, it will definitely not be!"
Yu Xin looked at Yinglong seriously: "If there is a big python that wants to eat me, do you dare to hit it!"
Yinglong felt strange: "Why do you ask like that, beating pythons?"
Then he replied confidently: "Hit! Definitely hit! I'll cut it with a knife!"
Yu Xin listened to the music: "Forget it, forget it, can you beat it?"
Yinglong looked very serious: "If you can't beat it, you have to fight! Do you still let you be bitten by it! If you really can't beat it, I'll pull you away!"
Yu Xin looked at Yinglong's more serious appearance, and hurriedly said: "It's right to run! Where can you fight the big python! Who knows how big the python is!"
Yinglong asked strangely, "I see, you dreamed that a python bit you, right?
Yu Xin smiled lightly and did not continue.
Yinglong felt ashamed: "It should have scared you! It's all my fault!"
Then Yuxin comforted Yinglong: "I don't blame you! I know you're brave!"
Yu Xin still remembers how Yinglong fought the python in her dream, and once defeated the python, but later, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
Yinglong saw that Yuxin said that he was brave, and he didn't blame him, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, but he was embarrassed.
In fact, Yinglong is also afraid of snakes, if he really touches the big python, he will pull Yu Xin to run away quickly, even if Yu Xin can't run, he will keep running with her on his back until he completely gets rid of that terrible animal.
But Yinglong didn't know how he fought the giant python bravely in Yuxin's dream, and then was shot by a dark arrow.
Yu Xin wouldn't tell him this, she was worried that Yinglong would be upset, and she was even more reluctant to say it later.
So it's better not to let Yinglong know, even if Yinglong thinks she just dreamed of a big python and was frightened by the dream. Although Yinglong thinks that he shouldn't make this joke, it is better than letting him know the final outcome of the dream.
But Yinglong thinks that in the future, don't make such bad jokes in front of Yu Xin, lest something will make her unhappy, and it would be bad if she thought of these things under special circumstances, after all, girls are timid.
But what he and Yu Xin talked about, the flower that Manzhu and Sha Hua wanted to find only belonged to them, and Yu Xin also thought that maybe it was the kind of white flower that belonged to them, Mandala Hua.
Because this flower may be condensed from their tears, it is the color of crystal clear and pure white. And it was watered with their blood, so that it could bloom in the underworld.
These are completely reasonable, and Yinglong even thinks that if it is true, then when Manju and Sawa discover the white flower that belongs to them, they will not be separated again, and they will not regretfully fall into the cycle of life and death.
Yinglong was also very happy to see that Yuxin agreed with his idea. Although they didn't know much about the other side flower, they were now on the same page.
Yinglong was only a little surprised by the python, but he still thought that Yu Xin's dream was probably caused by his own inappropriate jokes.
But it is unlikely that he will really encounter such a terrible animal in life, and Yinglong estimates that he will not have this opportunity in his life.
If you really fight back and forth with the python, you don't know how many chances you can have.
After all, this kind of thing is scary enough even from the outside. If he really sees him one day, he still has to face it bravely for Yu Xin's sake, but the best way is to pull Yu Xin and run away, you must know that they can't fight the python.
After Yuxin and Yinglong chatted about this, they left a little relaxed feeling in their hearts.
After all, Yinglong won't really leave her alone, even if he can't fight, he has to run with her on his back.
Although he only said this verbally, seeing Yinglong's sincere appearance, she still thought that Yinglong was very sincere, and Yuxin couldn't help but feel a little comforted.
Yinglong also found that he really didn't know what he would encounter one day, people have good and bad luck, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
If one day, he encounters an unsolvable problem, how will he choose, whether to escape or face the difficulty, he does not know what the final result will be.
However, problems are problems after all, and even if they can't be solved with all kinds of twists and turns, there are still a lot of problems in life.
A saint is also a sage who cannot solve a problem, not to mention that he is just an ordinary person? As long as he dares to face the reality and does not repeatedly evade and violate his conscience.
