154. The World in the Mirror
Pushing open the white-painted iron door, Ye Qingyue saw a handsome young man standing in the morning light.
Beside him was a lit candle, and on the wall behind him, an old wall clock was ticking softly.
On the walls on both sides, large murals are hung, depicting ancient Chinese legends about Pangu opening the world and Nuwa creating man. The picture is beautiful and the colors are strong, but it is all in the style of Western painting, and even the paint used is also the square of Western oil painting.
Among them, the young man was dressed in a spotless white robe, with long sleeves and wide sleeves, and his eyebrows were charitable. Ye Qingyue thought that if he put on the priest's robe, and the murals on both sides were replaced with the Holy Mother and Jesus in the Bible, this would be a priest completely!
Such a mix of Chinese and Western styles made her a little funny, and some long-dormant memories floated from the bottom of her heart.
The young man smiled kindly: "Hello, guests from afar, I am Minghua!" You can also call me Venerable Minghua. ”
Ye Qingyue Daqi, is this the Minghua Venerable who has the Chaos Spirit Root? At that moment, he made a junior salute and said, "Qingyue has seen Venerable Minghua. ”
The man nodded kindly, without a trace of the arrogance of a high-ranking monk: "How did Qingyue Xiaoyou fall into this dust edge mirror?" ”
Ye Qingyue asked, "Dust Mirror?" Did the predecessors say that we are all in a phantom array like the Dust Mirror? ”
Minghua shook his head: "Phantom Array? This is not a phantom array. Here, it's a world. ”
"I don't understand."
Venerable Minghua smiled slightly, and took a transparent crystal ball from his side, in the crystal ball. It's a few ants crawling around. Obviously, the crystal ball is hollow, and there should be a place for ventilation.
"You see, it seems to us that it's just a crystal ball."
Ye Qingyue bowed slightly: "Not bad!" ”
"But for these ants, that's the whole world."
Ye Qingyue suddenly said: "Therefore, the dust edge mirror is the crystal ball in our eyes." But now, we're all ants in a crystal ball. ”
Just like multidimensional space in physics, ants in two-dimensional space see a plane of length and width as the whole world. They don't know what they think they are doing. It's just a plane in the wider world. The so-called one sand and one world, and they are all in the world of a grain of sand, but they still have the memory of the vast world above the sand.
This is meant to be a real world. So. She won't be able to see the slightest trace of the phantom array.
Minghua's eyes flashed with praise: "Not bad." Xiaoyou is very smart. ”
In this way, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble. Ye Qingyue smiled bitterly: "The seniors have been trapped here all the time? ”
"Yes! The Dust Edge Mirror was obtained by accident, and I have never known how to use it. But in the dark. I felt that I had a relationship with this thing, so I always carried it with me. Later, my longevity was approaching, and there was no hope of soaring, so I wanted to leave the inheritance behind to leave the future generations, but who expected, I fell inexplicably into this dust mirror, and I have not been able to come out. ”
Ye Qingyue was silent for a while, and asked, "What kind of world is this world in the Dust Mirror?" ”
"The old man has been stranded in this dust mirror for nearly 30,000 years, and he has also found some ways to this small world. Presumably, Xiaoyou also discovered that in this world, the use of spiritual power is not allowed, only the use of yuan power is allowed. The situation here is somewhat similar to the mundane world outside. Its language and writing are in the same vein as the outside world. After the old man woke up from the Dust Mirror, he found that although the people here also cultivated Yuan Li, they didn't have any clever exercises. There was nothing to do left and right, so they passed on some secular exercises, and over time, they became the national teachers here. ”
Ye Qingyue said carefully: "Do the people here live as long as their predecessors?"
Minghua shook his head and said, "Naturally not." Martial arts cultivation can prolong life, but cultivation is not easy, mortals here, can live for more than 200 years can be regarded as longevity. The old man knew that he could live for so long, or because the old man himself had reached the peak of the god transformation stage by his own cultivation. It's just that after these 30,000 years, it is only the cultivation of the Jindan period. ”
"Over the years, the old man has traveled all over the Dust Edge Mirror just to find a way out of here. Later, it was discovered that if you want to leave this Dust Mirror, you must find the energy core of this Dust Mirror. Only by breaking this small world can we return to the original world. Minghua took out a scroll of paintings from his sleeve and said, "Look, this is what the Dust Edge Mirror looks like." If what I expected, it should be the power core of this small world. ”
Ye Qingyue took the scroll and unfolded it.
It was a transparent crystal ball, and in the center of the crystal ball was a half-opened orchid.
Minghua continued: "The Dust Edge Mirror is not a mirror, it's just that I have been looking for more than 20,000 years in this world, from the treasure house in the palace to the most inaccessible poor house, but I was stunned and found no trace of it. ”
Ye Qingyue nodded, her mood a little heavy.
Minghua blinked and said, "That's it!" Don't talk about that. Finding the Dust Edge Mirror doesn't happen overnight. The one out there is your father, right? ”
"The younger generation doesn't understand, why did he become the daughter of Ye Fu?"
"I know a little bit about this, this dust edge mirror can probably peek into people's hearts. Whatever your heart desires, it will give you such an identity. Like myself, I longed to be free and powerful, but not burdened by fame, you see, I became a national teacher. Enjoy the dignity above all people, and do not have to bear the responsibility expected of all peoples. ”
Ye Qingyue smiled faintly, thinking of her father who had never met. She has always been reluctant to think of this person, although she knows that this person who makes her mother favored must not be simple. If it is an ordinary child, there should be some expectations for the father who has never met. Whether you love or hate, it's just because you care about it!
Did she ever care about him? There should be, but she doesn't want to admit it.
Anyway, half of that person's blood flowed in her body, and she also inherited the Heavenly Soul Flame inherited from his bloodline. There is his shadow in her blood and bones, and she knows that the Heavenly Soul Flame is the inheritance of the Snow Clan's lineage, and the jade pendant he left her has two words in the seal script. It is the word "Izumo" in the ancient Shuzhen text, and Izumo is the surname originally inherited by the priests of the Snow Clan. Her father is inseparable from the Snow Clan and the Izumo Palace Liu Clan. She even knew that if she was willing to look it up, she might not have to bother at all to find out.
But she didn't. She never even mentioned it to anyone.
She didn't want to admit this, just like her embarrassing life experience, destined to sink to the bottom of the sea forever.
He may not have known she existed. He may have his own wife and children. She was just an accident, an accident that wasn't expected. Bastard, you see, the truth is so ugly and cruel.
Why bother? It's as safe as it is now. Isn't it great?
She bowed her head slightly. Place your palms on your heart. There was a slight tingling sensation spreading. A low, slow voice sounded clearly in my head.
The voice said to her, "Actually, you still mind." More than you think.
But so what? She didn't want to hurt anyone because of it. She didn't want him to get hurt because of her, and she didn't want to suffer the consequences for his amorous life. Rather than hurting others and hurting yourself, it is better to be indifferent. Therefore, she would rather be the same Ye Qingyue than just Ye Qingyue.
Isn't it fair? Aren't you aggrieved? Don't you want to be a little princess with the protection of your parents?
She shook her head, the karma gathered, and there was a fixed number. But if you have a glimmer of life, why bother with perfection?
Those who cultivate the truth, of course, should forge ahead and fight for their lives with the sky, but they should also know what to fight for, what fate to seek, and what to take. If you blindly seek perfection, strive to be the first in everything, do not hesitate to harm others and benefit yourself, and do not give up a single profit, then you have entered the devil's path.
The way of nature, the way of balance, when you give up, you give up, you get when you deserve, and you are the right way.
Dust Mirror, Dust Mirror, not every relationship must have a result, not every expectation is eager to be realized, you finally misread me!
Minghua's gaze was a little deep, as if he understood what she was thinking.
"Little girl, after all, the paper can't contain the fire, in this world, there is no eternal secret. Even if you can hide it from others, you still can't deceive yourself after all. ”
Ye Qingyue smiled and asked, "Why should I lie to myself?" Wishes have priorities, emotions have weight, and there are trade-offs, I just need to remember what is most important. ”
"Hahaha......" Minghua laughed, "Xiaoyou's words are excellent, excellent!" ”
"It's just that if you have such a cold temperament, if anyone takes you to heart, I'm afraid it's extremely hard."
"The seniors, the younger generations never realize that the bright fireworks can last for a long time, and the blazing passion will not burn out. In this world, things that can be called eternal, like galaxies, like avenues, are always cold. Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, which is yin and yang. The balance between the two can last a long time. I don't want a moment of brilliance, I just want eternal peace. ”
Minghua smiled unabatedly: "It's really a rational and almost ruthless girl!" You're cultivating the way of nature, aren't you? The avenue is ruthless, and naturally, too! For your sake, I'll send you another message. It has been many years since there have been outsiders visiting this dust mirror, and this time, you are not the only one who has come here. I'll only see you alone, though. ”
Ye Qingyue: "......"
After bidding farewell to the national teacher, Ye Qingyue still returned to Ye Mansion in a carriage. As for the search for the energy core, she was in no hurry to get started. Venerable Minghua searched for 20,000 years but couldn't find it, and she didn't think that she could have this opportunity.
This energy core must be hidden in a hidden place that no one can imagine.
There shouldn't be many places like this.
Right now, she needs to know who else is the outsiders who are here.
……
On the other side, when Liu Mingzhu woke up, she found herself lying in a palatial palace. The spiritual power is bound and cannot be used again, but the divine consciousness is unhindered.
Let go of the divine sense, his body has not changed, but here, it seems to be a palace.
The aroma of ambergris was compelling, and she opened her eyes a little uncomfortably.
"Princess, you're awake at last! The National Teacher is really amazing! The palace maid who was waiting on the side chattered.
Liu Mingzhu looked at her inexplicably, her eyes full of question marks.
After a while, she learned from the palace maid that she was now the princess of the previous dynasty and the concubine of the current emperor. After the current emperor succeeded in seizing the throne, in order to win the hearts of the people, she was named a favorite concubine of the former princess. It's just that this princess is blessed, when the previous dynasty was not destroyed, she has been unconscious, and after she was finally rescued by the national teacher, she found that not only did she change the dynasty, but she also married inexplicably.
What is this called? Liu Mingzhu really wants to faint again, can I continue to sleep?
She was about to lie down again, when she heard footsteps hurrying over, her cheap husband, the current emperor, coming! (To be continued......)
