Chapter 36: The Follow-up to the Chat
Jiang Xue sighed and said, "The sisters who grew up together since childhood have become eternal farewells overnight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info hopes that the tears that flow under the Nine Springs can move Hades to bring her back to life. ā
Huang Sheng said: "In the past, I asked Xiangyu to convey it many times, why did you never come to see me? ā
Jiang Xue replied, "I didn't know that you were a very affectionate person. But you and I have fellowship, only in friendship. If I'm always talking about me all day long, then I can't do it. Then he took his leave.
Huang Sheng faced the cold rain outside the window alone, thinking bitterly about Xiangyu, tossing and turning at night, tears spilling all over the pillow. Whenever Huang Sheng was lonely, Jiang Xue would come once, and when she came, she just drank and wrote poems with Huang Sheng, and sometimes she left overnight. Huang Sheng had no choice but to let her, so he often said: "Xiangyu is my beloved wife, and Jiangxue is my good friend." ā
Huang Sheng always asked Jiang Xue: "How many are you in the courtyard?" I hope to tell me as soon as possible that I will transplant you to my hometown, so that you will not be snatched by the wicked like Xiangyu, and let me hate for the rest of my life. ā
Jiang Xue said: "Flowers and trees are like people, and it is difficult to leave their homeland, so it is useless to tell you." You and your lover can't grow old together, let alone friends? Huang Sheng didn't listen, took her arm and came to the courtyard, and every time he came to a peony flower, he asked, "Is this you?" Jiang Xue covered her mouth and smiled, silent.
Soon, the wax moon will end, and Huang Sheng will return to his hometown in Jiaozhou for the New Year. One night in February, he suddenly dreamed that Jiangxue was coming, and he said to him with a sad face, "I am going to suffer a great calamity!" Come quickly, you can meet again, it's too late! After Huang Sheng woke up, he was very surprised, and hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare horses, and rushed to the Qing Palace under Laoshan Mountain in the starry night, and saw that the Taoist priest was going to build a house, and there was a winter-resistant tree on the foundation to hinder the construction, and the craftsmen were about to cut down the tree. Huang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. At night, Jiang Xue suddenly walked in with a smile and said, "Good news for you: Yan Jun is moved by your affection, and he wants Xiangyu to be born in this Qing Palace again!" ā
Huang Sheng stood up and asked in surprise and joy, "When?" Jiang Xue said, "I don't know. It won't be too long! ā
As soon as the two sat down, Xiangyu suddenly smiled and came in quietly. When Huang Sheng looked up, he burst into tears, and the three of them wept for a while. After sitting down, Huang Sheng felt that his palms were empty, as if he was not holding anything, so he asked Xiangyu in surprise, and Xiangyu replied with tears: "In the past, I was the god of flowers, so I condensed; Now I'm a flower ghost, so nothingness. Although we can meet today, you don't have to think it's real, just think it's a dream. ā
A year later, the peony was born again, and Huang Sheng and Xiangyu were in love again, just as they were at the beginning.
Later, Huang Sheng's wife died, and Huang Sheng lived in the Xia Qing Palace for a long time and never returned home. At this time, the peony was very tall, and the trunk was as thick as a human arm. Huang Sheng often pointed to the white peony and said, "In the future, I will leave my soul here, right on your left!" ā
After more than ten years, Huang Sheng suddenly became critically ill, and his son came to visit him from his hometown and couldn't help crying. Huang Sheng himself was very calm, and said with a smile: "This is my life, not my death, why are you crying!" Then he turned to the Taoist priest and said, "In the future, there will be a red bud popping up under the peony flower, and one will grow five young leaves, and that will be me." Then he was silent. His son drove him home, and he died unexpectedly. In the second year, a fat and vigorous red bud emerged under the peony flower, and it was indeed five leaflets. The Taoist priest felt that it was miraculous and paid more attention to watering and care. In just three years, it grows to a few feet tall and is exceptionally lush, but it doesn't bloom. After the old Taoist priest died, the disciple didn't know how to cherish it, so he actually cut it down. It didn't take long for the white peony to die. Then, the wintery tree also died.
Meng Ping remembered this story because his teacher liked Jiangxue very much. often says, who said that there is no pure friendship between men and women, Jiang Xue and Huang Sheng, isn't it? At that time, Meng Ping was also very shocked, especially after the tree was cut down, soon the peony died, and then the winter tree also died. The martyrdom of one or two is so shocking.
Meng Ping looked up at the three demons, Huang Sheng's deep affection for Xiangyu, Xiangyu died twice for Huang Sheng, and Jiang Xue's life and death for her friends were really touching.
The cold Jiangxue in front of him, the delicate Xiangyu, and the elegant Huang Sheng are the characters I have read from books since I was a child, and when I see them, I always feel a little panicked and can't believe it.
However, why did the three demons appear here, and why did they arrest Xia Liye?
Huang Sheng listened, took a step forward, and told Meng Ping about the rest of the story.
The three demons knew everything about Meng Ping, but they saw a pure aura on Meng Ping's body, which made the three demons surrender, and they also knew that this was a character they would never be able to provoke.
It is said that after Huang Sheng's death, the two daughters went to die with each other, Yan Jun sighed at the love of the three demon couples and the righteousness of friends, and specially ordered the three demons to re-cultivate in the depths of the mountains and forests.
Xiangyu and Jiangxue are the spirits of plants and trees that have been cultivated for many years, and the three demons have the same mind, but after a few years, they will be re-cultivated into human form.
The three demons felt the same life and death, so they traveled around together, feeling the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth, in order to cultivate the day of completion.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the original deep mountains and wild forests have become tourist attractions, and many homestays have been built around.
That day, when Huang Sheng was traveling abroad, he felt a sharp pain, and the second daughter took him back in a hurry. only to find out that Huang Sheng's body, the huge poplar tree, was cut off by someone.
And inside the B&B, a newly made poplar bed appeared.
The second daughter was grief-stricken, and both expressed their willingness to die with Huang Sheng, but Huang Sheng did not agree, because he found that he might have succeeded in practicing and that he could exist in the world as a tree ghost. You can still be accompanied by two daughters.
But Huang Sheng hated Xia Liye who was lying on the bed and falling asleep. Because he found out that the person sleeping on the bed was the little Taoist boy who cut him in his previous life!
It turned out that on this day, Xia Liye, who came here to live temporarily, saw the poplar trees in the garden, and only felt something, as if something was pulling him in the dark.
Xia Liye frowned, he hated this feeling of being controlled, it was just a tree, just cut it down, what could it do.
"Get someone to cut down this tree!" Xia Liye said indifferently to the old man Yu who followed him to visit.
"This tree can't be cut down!" Old man Yu looked surprised and said, "This tree is a scene in our tourist area." ā
"I don't want to repeat it a second time, cut it right away, I'm going to sleep in a bed made of this tree tonight."
