CHAPTER XXI
Back in the Water Pavilion Pavilion, Pang Ruolan went directly into the room and lay down on the bed, and said in her heart: Pang Ruolan, Pang Ruolan, you are so stupid, you torture yourself for the sake of a person who has two lives...... But the old woman had a lovely personality and was the same age as her grandmother in her previous life, so she couldn't help but want to help. It seems that I can't sleep at night these days, so I make up for sleep during the day and work at night, so I close my eyes and recuperate.
On the other side, a white dove flew out of the secluded mansion, and a man in front of the window was dressed in an ink-colored robe, his black hair fluttering in the breeze, sometimes sticking to his fair and crystalline skin, and sometimes brushing his beautiful lips like cherry blossoms.
"Other countries suddenly launched a war, and the plan was forced to be suspended, heh, today's empress is really not simple. It's just that...... Youlan, how can I find you......" The man's eyes drooped slightly, and he sighed deeply.
"Ah, I'm sleepy...... I fell asleep, it's time to clean the flower pond. Pang Ruolan muttered to herself, stretched her waist and got up to go out.
Looking at the starry sky, the starry sky under the canopy is particularly dreamy and charming, the air scenery in this world is really good, Pang Ruolan smiled slightly, and her mood was bright.
Breaking some long branches, Pang Ruolan swept the water with the branches as she walked, "Sister Shenyun, why do you want to plant so many water lilies...... You can't have other petals in the water, you're really weird...... Zhu Yulong, if you clean up for me now, it is estimated that you will be singing and dancing on horseback, you must be very envious that I can be so close to Sister Shenyun......"
While walking, thinking about her thoughts, recalling many of the past in her previous life, Pang Ruolan sometimes laughed happily and sometimes cried sadly, and before she knew it, the sky was already bright, and she also cleaned the flower pond at the cost of staying awake all night.
Pang Ruolan, who returned to the room, went straight to the bed, fell asleep as soon as she lay down, snoring, and even forgot to take off her clothes.
In my sleep, I felt as if someone had come, as if I had stood in front of the bed for a while, and then left. This time, Pang Ruolan had a lot of dreams, dreaming that she had written a novel and written many of her dreams into it. The dreams of the previous life were always imaginative, and the soul was taken away for a while, and he traveled to the world of immortals and demons; For a while, I knew that I was in a dream, but I saw dinosaurs outside the window come back to life and invade the earth; When I came to a parallel space, I could feel some mysterious existence for a while.
Sometimes walking on the way to work, sometimes soaking in the hot springs, sometimes eating, there will be a lot of strange thoughts and scenes in my mind, but it is a pity that I was a lazy person in my previous life, I have not started writing for a long time, I have missed a lot of dreams, and I have forgotten a lot of dreams.
This sleep, Pang Ruolan slept for a long time. It wasn't until night came again that Pang Ruolan woke up slightly. "Ah, I slept for so long...... It's getting dark again, alas, Pang Ruolan, when will you be able to complete your mission. Pang Ruolan muttered to herself: "But now that no one knows you, you don't have to carry too much, right?" ”
Shaking her head vigorously, Pang Ruolan dispelled the idea just now. People live a lifetime, and they must always be worthy of their hearts.
Getting up, bending down to pick up the branches that had been thrown on the ground before going to bed, Pang Ruolan cheered up and began to clean up the pool. But after all, I haven't eaten for a day, and my stomach growls in protest.
"Alright, let's go eat first! Don't scream anymore, nay, be obedient. Touching her stomach, Pang Ruolan muttered to herself.
"Huh? You're there too! As soon as she entered the kitchen, Pang Ruolan saw an old woman eating.
"Come and eat, I ordered two bowls of noodles, and that bowl is yours!" The old woman motioned for Pang Ruolan to go over and sit.
"Oh, yes! Haha, I just happened to be hungry, thank you mother-in-law! Pang Ruolan was eating noodles, still hot, and her heart was paid: How could this mother-in-law calculate so accurately, did she make two bowls for herself, and only gave up one bowl for me to eat when she saw me coming? Then he said: "Mother-in-law, let's cook two more dishes with orchids in a while!" Try my craft today, too, hehe. ”
"What, don't you think it's not delicious to cook for an old body?" The mother-in-law said angrily, "If you want to eat, you will eat it obediently, and the old man's food can never be easily made for people to eat!" ”
"Oh, that's Lan'er's honor." Pang Ruolan ate clear water noodles and silently added two meat dishes to herself in her mind......
"Mother-in-law, I'm done eating, I'll leave first."
"Won't you wash the dishes?"
"Just leave it to them." Pang Ruolan grinned.
"Haha, I like it! You're such a funny little doll, with the look of my youth! The old woman showed some of her front teeth that were still alive.
"Where were you yesterday? Why don't you keep the promise to cook for my old man! The mother-in-law shouted.
"Oh, me, I slept yesterday, hehe, wait for one day to make up for it, make a few more dishes for you to eat!" Pang Ruolan grimaced and left the kitchen.
The old woman had an uncertain look in her eyes, as if she was caught in a memory, and hung her head gloomily.
"Haha, everyone, look, this ugly girl is really a pig's head and a pig's brain! I'm really cleaning up the pool here! ”
"Haha, this woman has a sick brain, she's a fool!"
"I'll do it too! Girl, I'll help you sweep it together! I am a good-hearted living bodhisattva! He bet that one of the women in the gang would learn from Pang Ruolan's laborious sweep of the water, and pretend to help her work.
"Hahahaha!" Then, the woman's actions caused the women to laugh.
"......" Pang Ruolan lowered her head as if she hadn't heard it, and continued to clean up the flower pond.
After a while, all the women saw that Pang Ruolan did not react, and they all went back to the room to sleep.
"Whew." Pang Ruolan Xinfu: Finally gone, three women in one play, it turns out that this era is no exception......
Sweeping and sweeping, Pang Ruolan came to the small pavilion of the water pavilion, and her heart was paid: Although she has lived here in the past few days, she has never visited this courtyard well, and when she first arrived, she only felt that the scenery was picturesque and beautiful, but she never had the opportunity to appreciate it carefully.
"Hmph, I'm tired!" Pang Ruolan cleaned up for half a night, and was already so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, and threw the branches out vigorously in anger, but when she heard a "poof", the wall of the pond on the west side of the Water Pavilion seemed to shake.
"Ahhh Am I the hell! How can this wall still move! Pang Ruolan was startled, jumped back, waited to calm down, rubbed her eyes, looked carefully, and found that the wall by the pond was not a real wall. Xinfu: Since I'm in charge of cleaning the pool these days, it's not surprising that my clothes are soaked. Then jumped into the water, the pool water and neck, 1.6 meters deep, Pang Ruolan carefully removed the water lilies blocking the way with her hands, and gently walked to the wall, trying not to make a sound.
It turns out that the flower pond side wall is below the water surface of the real wall, and the water surface is covered with thick cloth, but because it has been colored, it cannot be distinguished if you don't look carefully. Pushing away the thick cloth with her hand, Pang Ruolan was stunned by the scene in front of her, it turned out that there was a hole in the sky, the garden was full of flowers, the green leaves and green grass were contained in it, it seemed to be endless, there was a temple about 50 meters ahead, it was brilliant, and the blue tile and white wall were inlaid with glittering fine porcelain, giving people a feeling of exquisite dream, like a fairyland.
Pang Ruolan grabbed the wall above her neck with her hands, and climbed to the ground with the buoyancy of the water. While walking, she gently inhaled the fragrance of flowers blown by the breeze in the valley, and the smell of earth and herbs accompanied by the fragrance of flowers was particularly charming, and Pang Ruolan seemed to be in a dream.
When you approach the temple, there is no light inside, and the open-air design makes everything in the temple clearly visible. Pang Ruolan tiptoed to hide in the corner of the temple, listened to no movement inside, and then gently moved to the door, but saw that the door was not closed tightly, through the gap, secretly looked inside, and suddenly felt amazing.
I saw a man in white kneeling on the futon inside, bathing in the moon, dyed with green silk, gently flying with the wind, the temple was lonely, the fragrance of flowers accompanied by the smell of grass entered with the wind from the open-air roof, and under the soft halo of the bright moon, the man's back was like a pearl and jade, pure and flawless.
Pang Ruolan was stunned for a while, and even forgot to breathe, and thought to herself: How can there be such a person in the world, could it be that she is dreaming......
"At that moment, I raised the wind horse, not to beg for blessings, but to wait for your arrival
That day, I closed my eyes in the incense mist of the scripture hall and suddenly heard the mantra in your chant
On that day, the mani pile was erected, not for the cultivation of virtue, but for the stones of the heart lake
That night, I listened to Sanskrit singing for a night, not for enlightenment, but for a trace of your breath
That month I shook all the prayer cylinders not for excess, but for touching your fingertips
That year, I kowtowed and crawled on the mountain road, not for the audience, but for the warmth of you
In that life, I turned mountains and rivers and pagodas, not for the sake of cultivating the next life, but just to meet you on the way
At that moment, I soared into an immortal, not for immortality, but for your peace and joy."
(Quoting from Cangyang Gyatso's "That Life")
I only heard the man chanting softly, his voice was clear and ethereal, and suddenly I heard him sigh slightly: "You...... After all, it's against me, is love used to take advantage of it...... What am I in your heart......
