Beiluo Shimen 006
Li Bai caressed the stele, the salt lake sparkling in the sun, and brought his thoughts back to the unforgettable Chang'an, the prosperous capital where he was born and grew up, where he met his beloved, but unfortunately she was the county lord, and he was born in the family of Shangjia, in order to be able to marry her openly, he went to the battlefield, ill-fated, did not fight for fame, but was imprisoned in a bitter cold place, tortured and not tight, every time he thought of his beloved waiting in Chang'an City, his heart was heartbreaking. Later, he died nine times and finally escaped, but Li Huan, a scholar who was regarded as a sibling, betrayed him, and when he rushed back to Chang'an without sleep, he was still one step too late. It was that step away, he saw the desperate Qing Jue jumping down from the towering city gate, it was the moment when his heart was broken, and from then on, Li Bai suffered from a strange disease of facial blindness, he could no longer recognize the faces of others, even if he was familiar with people, he couldn't recognize them.
So he kept the oath he made with Qingjue before his death, no matter who left first, he would wait by the Nai He Bridge for three years until he was reunited with the other party.
In front of Qing Jue's cold body, he wiped away his tears and pulled out his sword......
When he came to Nai Ho City, there were all kinds of buildings, dazzling, he had never seen a house higher than a mountain, a palace or a magnificent church, everything was ...... Except for the lack of a bridge.
There is really no bridge, there are people everywhere, and every face is the same to Li Bai. He walked through the streets and alleys of Nai He Town every day, evading the pursuit of the commander and the fast catcher, while constantly looking for the county lord of Qingjue. Although he couldn't recognize the county lord of Qingjue, he was convinced that Qingjue would definitely be able to recognize him. He searched for three years, but he didn't hear from him.
Li Bai lost his soul and no longer struggled, and Si Ming quickly caught him and sent him to Naihe Station according to the law, where every soul took the Baiju train to the "heaven" or "hell" in their hearts. In the waiting hall, Li Bai saw a thin woman, and was unconsciously attracted by her eyes, so clear and moving, but the lights in the hall were bright, but she groped her way forward step by step carefully.
"I'll help you!" Li Bai stepped forward to hold her arm.
The woman became alert like a wounded little beast, but after feeling the kindness of the other party, she gladly accepted: "Thank you!"
The two short words pierced Li Bai's heart like a sharp arrow, this voice was so familiar, and it was what he would never forget.
"Where are you going?" Li Bai suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.
When the woman heard Li Bai's voice, she was in a trance for a while, and between her dim eyebrows, she regained her vitality little by little: "I'm not going anywhere, I've been waiting for you!"
The two hugged each other tightly, one was blind and the other was blind, and they miraculously met in the vast sea of people. Even if more than a thousand years have passed, Li Bai is still excited whenever he thinks of the scene at that time, so he still believes that they will meet again, and believes that the love between them is just like the teardrop indicates - no matter how many hardships they go through, they will definitely be together in the end.
Li Bai took out the jade pendant on his chest, held it in his hand hard, and burst into tears as soon as he used it: "I'm sorry, Qingjue...... It's been almost 1,300 years in the blink of an eye, and I still haven't found you. I used to hate that time passed too slowly, but now I blame it for passing too fast, we only have the last three years left, and I will definitely find you in these three years, and you must wait for me. ”
Li Bai was completely immersed in the memory, and the birds perched on the lake suddenly rushed into the blue sky, and there was a sound of light footsteps in the distance.
"Who?" Li Bai woke up, quickly wiped away his tears, and took the jade pendant back to its original place.
There was silence between heaven and earth, and Li Bai quickly chased after him. A white-haired figure was reflected on the lake in the distance, and when Li Bai was chasing, the staggering footsteps in the reflection became brisk. Li Bai quickened his pace, only to see that the reflection of the lake had changed again, her wrinkled face gradually became delicate, the silver threads on her head turned black, and the old woman turned into an intellectual and charming woman, and even the clothes on her body also changed.
The woman continued to run in the salt lake, and within a few steps her face would change. Running and running, she suddenly stopped, and suddenly, Li Bai also stopped and stood three steps behind her. The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly, she turned around suddenly, and stood in front of Li Bai with a smile, she was a beautiful and beautiful girl, her eyes were full of kindness, eagerness, and urgency, and she blended love, respect, and affection...... The inextricable tenderness of affection made her sobbing eyes the brightest in the mirror of the sky.
The girl praised the scenery around her: "It's a mirror of the sky, it's so beautiful!"
"Then why don't you enjoy the beautiful scenery?" asked Li Bai.
"Who ran away? I'm just exercising...... So, you're Li Bai, don't ask me how I know you, I'm magical!" the girl gritted her teeth.
Li Bai smiled slightly when he heard this, raised his hand to dust off a broken leaf on the girl's head, and even his voice became doting: "That's right, I am Li Bai, please give me a lot of advice when we meet for the first time...... A big star who can do magic - Nine-Tails!"
Nine-Tails' face was full of joy: "Master, you can actually recognize Nine-Tails?"
Li Bai replied helplessly: "Between heaven and earth, apart from you, the disguise master, who can conjure up several appearances one after another? ”
Nine-tails is Li Bai's only apprentice, and she is also a deacon, she has a seven-trick exquisite heart, so she also has seven lives, and can even change seven faces. Hearing Master's self-deprecation, he smiled: "Master's face blindness is also known as face amnesia, and now medical research has found that there are two kinds, one is that you can't see other people's faces clearly, and the other is that you lose the ability to recognize other people's faces. Master can rest assured that the development of modern medicine is changing with each passing day, and it will definitely be cured soon. Anyway, the Nine-Tails is the only person Master can recognize now. ”
Li Bai has long lost hope, and he has tried all kinds of efforts over the years, but there has been no improvement at all. Especially the apprentice Nine-Tails, he racked his brains to treat his face blindness.
"How did you get here?"
Nine-Tails nodded, and miraculously conjured a bunch of brand-new documents in his hand: "Yes, this is Master's latest ID card and passport. ”
Li Bai took the document and asked, "Where are you going this time?"
"Imperial Capital!" replied the Nine-Tails neatly.
"What imperial capital?" Li Bai asked puzzledly, "Is it Chang'an?"
The Nine-Tails looked at the master like an antique: "Master, you see that you are uneven, do you know how entertaining people are now? They all have various nicknames for the city they live in, the demon capital is Shanghai, the demon capital is Guangzhou, and the imperial capital is of course Beijing." ”
"Beijing?" Li Bai groaned, "It's been almost a long time since the last time I said goodbye in a hurry." ”
"Master, the changes in the world in the last hundred years are scary to think about, and now that the Internet is too developed, we will accidentally reveal our identities...... I miss the old days, I could live in a random place for decades, but now? I can only stay in the same place for ten years at most, and I am really reluctant to leave a city when I am just familiar with it. The sentimental Nine-Tails complained to the master.
"You've become a household name anyway, so you don't have to follow this rule...... Master really doubts your real purpose in entering the entertainment industry. Li Bai said.
"Haha, of course it's for the heavy responsibility on my shoulders. Nine-Tails' big eyes flickered, full of infinite admiration, "It's so beautiful here! I want to stay here with Master for a few more days, but unfortunately we have to rush to Beijing immediately, because there is a mission related to the survival of mankind." ”
"Is the Si Ming Mansion going to send us to escort those eight traitors?" asked Li Bai.
"Master is really a genius. The Nine-Tails gave Li Bai a thumbs up.
Li Bai's expression became extremely solemn, and all the great disasters of the past hundred years instantly converged into his mind, the earth-shattering explosions, the overwhelming smoke, the devastating tsunami, and the crowd fleeing the emperor......
Seeing that Li Bai's eyes were dull and silent for a long time, Nine-Tails stepped forward and pulled his arm. Li Bai woke up like a dream, and said angrily: "I can't let them continue to suffer from life." ”
"Yes, next month is the annual night of the deacons, and it took so much effort to catch them all, and this time they must be wiped out. The Nine-Tails cursed fiercely, and continued, "And the Commander Mansion has officially issued the Mind Eater Order. ”
Although the deacons can live forever, if their mana is exhausted, they will become ordinary people and experience birth, old age, sickness and death again. 1,300 years have passed, and the loneliness has been so long, and the only hope in Li Bai's heart is to reunite with the county lord of Qingjue. If it weren't for that, he might have poured his life's mana into the dragon knight bottle he created, as he did before, or he might have chosen a successor to pass on his life's spells, as he did in the abyss, and then lived a short but complete life like an ordinary person.
The so-called "devouring of the heart" is the highest punishment for deacons who break the law, which is to make their hearts like ashes and eliminate the hope in their hearts little by little. Because if the deacons were not willing to dissipate their mana, the only way was to throw it into the "source of life" of Yongquan Mountain, and let the tree of life absorb all their mana and hope of survival.
The Nine-Tails took Li Bai's arm and said goodbye reluctantly: "Master, then we will see you in Beijing, will you go back to Qingbai Hutong when you go to Beijing?"
"I'll stay in the hotel first and move back when I have the chance. Speaking of Qingbai Hutong, Li Bai missed it a little in his heart.
"Then I'll arrange it for you first. Nine-tails said goodbye to Li Bai several times, but his eyes were unwilling to take his eyes off Li Bai's face for a long time.
"We'll see you again soon!" Li Bai said with a smile.
Nine-tails pouted and turned to leave, Li Bai whispered to the back of the nine-tails and counted: "One, two, three, stop!" Nine-Tails' footsteps really stopped, she turned her head and waved her hand vigorously at Li Bai: "Master, you must recognize Nine-Tails next time we meet, you must recognize ......."
"Definitely!" Li Bai assured her.
Nine-tails turned around, took two steps and turned his head, and made a heartfelt gesture at Li Bai: "Master, look." ”
"What is this?" Li Bai didn't know why.
"It's called Bixin, you have to remember, oh, in case you don't recognize me, I'll do this to remind you. Nine-Tails smiled slyly, waving Bixin's hand.
"Okay. Li Bai learned from the Nine Tails and also gave her a heart.
