【Miscellaneous Volume】Thinking of the Soul (Part I)
1. Sinking River
Compared to the twilight of the Central Plains, Lu Li prefers the night in the Western Regions.
Here, there are not so many people, and there are not too many buildings that block the view, and when you look up, you will see the bright moon wheel.
The stars twinkled in the empty sky, like Tang Ying's eyes.
Lying quietly at the bottom of the Sihun River, Lu Li's thoughts gradually drifted away.
"If you miss me, come to Mingjiao Sihun River to find me. ”
She still remembered the last words she left for Tang Ying when she left.
It's just that now the water of the Sihun River has risen and fallen for a while, and she still can't wait for the figure that only appears in the dark night.
The feeling of suffocation gradually hit, and at this moment, Lu Li only felt that his body was together, and before he had time to react, he was dragged out of the bottom of the river, followed by an exaggerated exclamation: "Longevity!
was suddenly pulled out of the bottom of the river, and Lu Li shook his body before he could stand firmly.
Looking at the young man in front of her who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with gold, silver and jade hanging all over her, she couldn't help frowning, is it popular for people in the Central Plains to show off their wealth like this now?
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but think about whether the next time she had the opportunity to see Tang Ying, she would also hang the snow jade glass that her father treasured on her body.
However, before she could think about where to hang the snow jade glass, the young man who dragged her out asked again: "It's dark at night, why are you a girl lying at the bottom of the river?
After hearing this, Lu Li understood what was going on.
But instead of being grateful, there was a little annoyance on his face.
Since she came back from the Central Plains, how many times has she been lying at the bottom of the Sihun River?
Immersion in the bottom of the river will not be gratuitous, she has her own purpose.
Only that moment of trance close to suffocation would make her feel the pleasure she had never felt before, because at that time, Tang Ying's face would become clearer and clearer—no, Tang Ying had never taken off her mask......
But these days, she can't even draw Tang Ying's outline......
In addition to this method, she didn't know what else to do, and her father would definitely not let her go to the Central Plains.
Lu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, the desire to argue with the boy was all gone, and with the ringing of a bell, a camel paced out from behind the reef on the side.
Three steps and two steps, Lu Li climbed onto the camel's back, pulled over the hood of the cloak hanging in front of the hump, and staggered in the direction of the living stream.
Only the young man in the golden costume behind him was confused.
2. Marriage
The spider fog lantern in the life stream is like the sky lantern at night in the Nanzhao Palace, and every time he walks under the guidance of the spider fog lamp, Lu Li will remember the experience in the Nanzhao Palace.
It's just that today, she is not in the mood to remember, because not far away, she saw her father standing on the edge of the stream of death.
Before she could flee back to the tent, she was already called by a familiar voice: "Where did you go again?"
"Where is there any 'again'! It's okay if you don't mention it, as soon as you mention it, I will be angry, the sand and stone of the embankment of Yingyue Lake are getting softer and softer, and if you are not careful, you will cause your daughter to fall into it, and you will really die of embarrassment!"
Seeing this, Lu Li pretended to be angry, as if all the muddy water in his body was because he was unlucky for a while, so he was so embarrassed in Yingyue Lake.
Lu Qi glanced at her, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back, and when he spoke, there was only one sentence left, "It's not early, rest as soon as possible."
Looking at the rare father who was difficult to do without accountability, Lu was overjoyed and was about to run away quickly, but he heard a whispered reminder from behind him:
"Yingyue Lake is the water of heaven and earth, the sand and gravel are larger, unlike the fine sand eroded by the Sihun River for many years. ”
Lu Li was stunned when he heard this, his footsteps stopped, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Lu Qi seemed to be unconscious, and added a few more words: "The Sihun River is close to Qi Shengtai, except for the sect leader and the holy woman, others are not allowed to go there." Especially when people from the Central Plains have come to our sect recently, you must be careful about your whereabouts, lest other Dharma protectors in the clan take the opportunity to cause trouble. ”
Hearing Qi Shengtai's words, Lu Li's eyes darkened: "My daughter understands." ”
Back then, she mistakenly broke into the Qisheng Terrace and should have been executed according to the teachings.
In order to protect her, her mother admitted that it was herself who trespassed on the forbidden land, not the young Lu Li, and finally gave her life for nothing.
Although she was young at that time, she always remembered this incident and remembered it vividly.
This is also the reason why she liked to lie at the bottom of the Sihun River in the first place.
Whether it is the great Mingjiao, the oasis, the rebirth stream, or the Yingyue Lake, all the water is only trapped in a corner of the Western Regions, and only the Sihun River can flow out of the place of right and wrong, which can make her recall her mother's face and embrace in a moment of suffocation, and float to the outside world with her thoughts.
It wasn't until she met Tang Ying that she understood that the outside world was the Central Plains that she had heard about since she was a child.
It was also since then that the person who appeared in her thoughts became Tang Ying.
Retracting his thoughts, Lu Li thought about it, but turned around and walked towards his father: "Tonight in Sihun River, I met a person from the Central Plains wearing yellow clothes, dressed in gold and jade. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Li added another sentence and added: "Also, the head may not be very good." ”
Lu Qi, who heard this, was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand and said, "I'm afraid that the people from the Hidden Sword Villa have arrived." ”
"The people of the Central Plains Hidden Sword Villa, what are they doing here?" Lu Li frowned.
"I'm afraid it's for the marriage of the saint. ”
"Is the sect leader willing to do it?" Lu Li sneered, in the eyes of the sect leader, the people of the Central Plains were all incompetent, how could they be worthy of his daughter, who regarded him as a treasure.
"This time, that time. ”
Lu Qi sighed lightly, looked at Lu Li, and reached out to stroke her hair: "In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer sect members sent by the sect leader to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is no longer the fish and flesh that used to treat me. If the saint really wants to get married, I'm afraid you need to go to the Central Plains with you......"
"Father's ......"
Lu Li looked up, but he didn't expect this matter to be involved with him again.
opened his mouth to ask, but saw his father's slightly guilty look, and suddenly understood that his father must have tried his best for himself, but he was afraid that the sect leader would not let go.
A few steps forward, Lu Li stretched out his hand to hug Lu Qi, couldn't help but reluctantly, and said with a smile: "Even if my daughter is far away in the Central Plains, I will definitely come back to visit my father from time to time when I see the opportunity!"
"Good. ”
Lu Qi smiled and gently stroked along his daughter's long hair.
The night wind gusted, and the spider fog lamps of the rebirth stream swayed gently, and the lights in the deepest part of the rebirth stream could be vaguely seen.
As my father said that night, this time, that time.
I don't know what the sect leader and the saint said, but the saint, who was originally arrogant and arrogant, agreed to the marriage so quietly.
The days to be married were too peaceful, until the day of the wedding, the mighty procession of sending relatives and welcoming relatives was also like an ordinary trip, as if there were no waves.
Only the "Great Bright Record" sung along the cliff road in front of the Temple of Light makes people feel excited.
The holy flame is clear, the holy light is shining, all my disciples, work together.
Have mercy on the world, drift helpless, and bless all things, only for the sake of light.
……
"Have mercy on me, the world is helpless......"
Looking at the holy woman in the car with her arms crossed, clasped her palms to her chest and prayed softly, Lu Li clenched the dawn in her hand.
The world may need such help, but she doesn't.
This time, she took on the task of escorting the saint, but she understood that all this may not be as simple as it seems.
3. Dawn
From the Western Regions to the Zangjian Villa of the Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River, the land and waterways were combined together, and it took more than four months to walk.
Set off in midsummer, stay in Tibetan sword, it is late autumn.
Looking at the exquisite Jiangnan courtyard in front of him, and the golden ginkgo, Lu Li only felt inexplicably magnificent, as if the people of the Ye family liked to wear bright yellow clothes.
After a long journey, the saint went to rest very early.
There are still five days left before the wedding, and there are only five days left for Lu Li.
Freshen up, change into the Jiangnan clothes prepared by the Ye family, and then comb out the Central Plains woman's bun by the maidservant, Lu Li looked at himself in the vermilion skirt in the mirror, and the corners of his lips faded out of the first smile in the past few months.
The last time she wore a Central Plains woman's costume was three years ago, when she first met Tang Ying.
At that time, she was angry with her father and hid in the team of sect members sent by the sect leader to the Central Plains, so she arrived in Chengdu.
On the side of the main city, there is a special ring for martial arts, and everyone can go on stage to discuss martial arts.
Even if he is conceited in life and death, as long as he wins, he can gain a certain prestige in the rivers and lakes, so he has also attracted many knights to participate.
Lu Li was originally a spectator, but he was inexplicably hit by a woman with two swords on the stage, as if he wanted to compete with her.
Seeing this, she couldn't help frowning, if it was a real competition, she was not afraid, she had already entered the realm of the Burning Shadow Saint, but if she made a move, she would definitely be aware of her identity, and the rest of her life would be difficult.
However, everyone's eyes looked at her, inexplicably with a little strangeness, at that time she didn't know that even though she had changed into the clothes of a Central Plains woman, the scimitar on her back had already revealed her identity, but the rules of the Central Plains were like this, and in desperation, she had to walk towards the stage in the eyes of everyone.
Before Lu Li could make a move, the woman's double swords were already unsheathed, and the sword intent broke through the void and came towards the door in front of her, which was full of killing intent.
Lu Li immediately gathered his attention, teleported behind the woman with a streamer prison shadow, and after a cold moon yao interrupted her attack, she was followed by a terrifying assassination, but in an instant, the woman's double sword had been knocked to the ground by her, and there was nothing in her hand.
Following the gestures of the previous winners, she raised her hand and said, "Take." ”
After that, he didn't want to stay here any longer, and turned around to leave, but heard a clear applause from behind him, which was inexplicably abrupt in the silence around him.
Lu Li turned around and saw that half of the man's face was covered by a mask, and the exposed mouth and the other half of his face were very Junyu.
Lu Li frowned, turned around and sped up his departure.
It's just that Lu Li never thought that soon, she would see this man again.
That night, she sat on the top of the highest mushroom tree in the suburbs of Chengdu and watched the moon, with a bit of boredom and melancholy.
Along the way, the people of the Central Plains said that the moon in Chengdu is the most beautiful, with a little red lines in the egg yolk-like color, which looks very similar to the rivers and lakes, with warmth, but it is also inevitable to kill.
But now that she saw this, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
There are not many places in Chengdu to watch the moon, as far as the eye can see, either covered by the shadow of the trees, or blocked by the mountain peaks or houses, it is inevitable that it is not as empty and vast as the Western Regions, and you need to find a place for a long time to watch the stars and the moon, and you will lose the interest in appreciating - especially the sky of Chengdu, in the lights of thousands of homes, there are no stars that can be seen.
With some sympathy for the lonely Yuelun in his heart, Lu Li got up and wanted to leave, but he heard the sound of a fight not far away.
Hidden in the shadows of the trees on the side, watching several figures staggered under the trees. After taking a closer look, she realized that it was everyone who bullied the less.
And the one who was bullied was the masked man who clapped her after the ring match.
The man was dressed energetically, especially the straightforward appearance of the thousands of receivers in his hand, which made people aware of the vigorous and resolute behavior.
Almost instantly, Lu Li guessed the identity of this person, he should be the killer of Tangjiabao in Shuzhong.
Just as she was thinking, the cluster of arrows in Tang Yingqian's receiver had been used up at some point, but there were still two enemies, and they were bare-handed against the spear with broken blades, and it was inevitable that they would gradually lose the wind.
Lu Li thought for a moment, and just when the long blade in one person's hand was about to stab Tang Ying, he jumped down from the tree, turned into a shield to protect him with the power of the doom, and then raised his hand to stagger the sun and the moon, and solved the remaining two together.
Supporting himself on the ground with a thousand machine boxes, Tang Ying gasped a little, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Thank you." ”
Lu Li stepped forward, seeing him like this, he couldn't help frowning: "How long have you been fighting with them?"
"After you're gone. ”
Lu Li was stunned, looked carefully at the faces of those people, and sure enough, he saw many familiar faces who were watching the match with her under the ring.
Knowing that the people in front of him were afraid that it was because he had offended these people, Lu Wei couldn't help but feel guilty, so he took out Na Yuan Dan from his arms and handed it to him.
Tang Ying was not polite, he directly took it and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it like eating sugar.
As if thinking of something, Tang Ying looked at Lu Li and said, "What is the name of the trick you used on me just now?"
"Doom. ”
Bathe in the dust and dirt of the catastrophe, and overcome the misfortune and purify the karma to relieve the shackles.
Crossing misfortune is the way to overcome all suffering and protect those close to you.
"That's it. I saw Tang Ying clapping his hands, as if he was not tired, but said with a little excitement: "Follow me." ”
"What are you going to do?" Lu Li frowned.
"You'll know when you get there. Tang Ying took Lu Li's hand holding the knife and ran quickly in one direction.
Lu Li was holding his wrist, for fear that the scimitar in his hand would hurt him, so he hurriedly inserted the knife into the scabbard behind his back with his other hand.
The Western Regions did not have as many rules as the Central Plains, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Ying's behavior.
It wasn't until a small hill that Tang Ying stopped and pointed out the small slope in front of him to Lu Li: "This is it." ”
Looking at the unsurprising hillside in front of him, Lu Li's eyes were a little inquiring.
As if seeing Lu Li's doubts, Tang Ying pointed to a few rabbits on the hillside and said to her, "Try them with the tricks you just used." ”
Lu Li stared at him, but he didn't see anything unusual, so he took a few steps forward according to his words and performed a method of crossing the misfortune on those rabbits that were grazing.
Suddenly, something strange happened:
The rabbits that were originally scattered everywhere, but within the range of the move, all ran in the direction of Lu Li, so frightened that Lu Li thought that they had fallen into some kind of demon, and couldn't help but retreat or dodge to both sides, as a result, those rabbits followed suit, running back and forth with her steps.
After moving like this a few times, the original vigilance and fright dissipated, Lu Li's interest gradually grew, and he couldn't help humming a song on the slope and pacing, and behind her, there was a string of little white rabbits lined up like sugar gourds, looking at the inexplicable joy.
When Lu Li was tired of playing, he came back to his senses, and he didn't know how to make these little guys stop, so he remembered Tang Ying on the side and looked at him with a little help.
Tang Ying realized that after a few pranayamas, he had recovered most of his vitality at this moment, so he wrapped his arms around Lu Li's waist, stepped lightly, and then took advantage of the volley, and stepped on the rocks next to him in a few places, and finally landed steadily on a small hill that was not low with Lu Li.
"How's it going, is it fun?" he turned his head and looked at Lu Lidao.
"I didn't know that the rabbits in the Central Plains were so interesting. Thinking of the experience just now, Lu Li was a little excited, "Is there any special domestication method?"
"Well...... this Tang Ying deliberately lengthened his voice, and gently spit out the words in Lu Li's expectant gaze: "Secret." ”
Lu Qi knotted, looked at the moon in the distance, and suddenly felt that the perspective here was much better than the place he was looking for before, so he untied the double knife on his back, put it aside, pillowed his hands behind his head, and lay down.
Tang Ying's eyes froze slightly on her double knives, and he also followed her example and lay down.
"The moon in Chengdu is the most beautiful moon in the Central Plains. ”
Tang Ying opened his mouth, looked at the moon wheel as big as a disc, and introduced it to this foreign visitor.
"The moon in the Central Plains is not as beautiful as the moon in my hometown. Lu Li expressed his truest feelings, "The moon here is too chaotic, like people's hearts, not clear, and there are no stars shining brightly, but the moon in my hometown is exceptionally bright and clear, without a trace of dirt. ”
"There is a saying in the Central Plains, called the moon is the hometown of Ming. Tang Ying said.
Lu Li didn't defend either, turned his head and asked, "What about the moon in your hometown?" You killers should always go out day and night, and when you look up at the moon, there should be a lot, right?"
Tang Ying was stunned by this girl's directness, but he didn't mind, but shook his head and said: "It rains all year round in Tangjiabao, and it rarely sees the moon at night, and we are often outside, so there are not many opportunities to see the hometown moon." ”
"That's a pity. Lu Li sighed, a life without seeing the moon will be less but more fun.
"Perhaps. Tang Ying said, and turned his head to explain this: "Do you want to break the dawn?"
"Breaking the dawn?" Lu Li thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help repeating.
"Yes, Dawn. ”
"As far as I know, there is only one Dawn Breaker, and there are even more heavy guards in the Nanzhao Palace, which is heavily organized. "Lu Li doesn't have extravagant hopes.
"So let's go get it together, shall we?"
Tang Ying proposed, as if he didn't know how difficult it was to enter the Nanzhao Palace, let alone take things from it and then retreat.
"There is a saying among you that there is nothing to do. ”
"It's not nothing—one, you just saved my life, I have nothing to thank, I only think of this method of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and two, there is also the hug Pu Hunt Tian I need. ”
Tang Ying's tone was a little treacherous, but it made Lu Li dispel his doubts, and after a little thought, he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, since you take what you need, then I'll go with you. ”
Anyway, with today's experience, she doesn't know where to go again, so it's better to listen to this person and go to Nanzhao for a while.
It wasn't until later that the two of them really stole the dawn from the Nanzhao Palace and temporarily recuperated under the butterfly spring in Cangshan and Erhai Lake, that Lu Li knew that she saw the thousand machine box in Tang Ying's hands in Chengdu that day, which was actually hugging Pu Hunting.
And this time I came to Nanzhao, and I really just wanted to get this dawn for myself.
Thinking of the joys and sorrows shared between the two of them in the Nanzhao Palace at that time, that day in Butterfly Spring, Lu Li performed pilgrimage to others for the first time in addition to practice.
In the murmuring sound of the butterfly spring, the eight bright lights are intertwined in a circle, in the tornado sand phantom of the central axis, the bright icon and the Buddha's golden lotus are presented in turn, which is the miraculous effect of the pilgrimage, and it is the edge of the dawn.
It's just that this edge hurts oneself and others.
Pilgrimage to the Pure Land is always joyful, and there is no suffering or separation.
Thousands of worlds are blissfully introduced, and they are dancing for you.
For the Mingjiao congregation, the meaning of this formula is self-evident.
But Lu Li didn't expect that this would be the last meeting between them before she went to the Central Plains again.
