[1] Old things
Return to the treehouse alone.
The night was already vast, Liu Mengli stared at the twilight outside the window, put her hand on the familiar and unfamiliar mullions, closed her eyes, and tears fell down her cheeks unconsciously.
The memory is so thin that it seems that there is no trace of the past.
The one in the Huainan Tomb once spoke: "I will marry you two." "There is still a childish look on his face, but his eyes reveal a firm person who does not match him; The only person in the world who calls her "Good Dream Glass", who always hides her thoughts, and always has a playful smile on her face; The person who was dressed in a blue and white Qionghua suit, who had been unwavering in his tone for slaying demons and demons, was in the illusion of her, resolutely overturned his belief that he had been in front of her for nineteen years, and drew his sword to block the person in front of her......
After a hundred years of concern and longing, at the moment of meeting again, Liu Mengli realized that time had taken the four of them a long way.
If you are not a demon, then everyone may always be happy together. Helpless, every qiē is like a firework, but it has a fleeting beauty.
Thinking of that day again, Han Lingsha raised her head and pointed to the sky, and happily told them to see - the traces like tassels caressed the calm sky, and gradually disappeared. They are tired of repeating their unchangeable destiny. At that time, Han Lingsha couldn't hide her excitement, and the smile on her face was a little more gorgeous than fireworks.
It's just that now, the deceased has passed away for a long time. The smile is silent, and it has become a pinch of loess.
Perhaps it was because there was so much joy before.
What is left around now is just an endless injury from one person - ten thousand times more injured than at that time, when he saw Yun Tianhe holding Han Lingsha.
Time flies, and all kinds of feelings are long gone. After a hundred years of vision, in addition to fiddling with the gonghou in his spare time, he recalls the past, and so on day after year. The only thing that will always remain in my heart is Yun Tianhe's sentence "Wait for me to return to Qingluan Peak, build a few more rooms, and let Mengli Ziying come back to live together."
It's a pity that not a word became a prophecy, and everything eventually became empty.
Suddenly, I remembered what Yun Tianhe said in front of Han Lingsha's tomb: "Lingsha asked me to bury her next to the house, and she didn't want to go into the cave...... So that she can always be by my side and watch me day and night, she said......"
He is no longer the Yuntianhe he used to be, he seems to have forgotten his nineteen-year covenant with her; even forgot the affection she swore for him when the illusionary world was long apart.
That's it, he's good enough.
"Where the heart desires, there is no power to return to heaven."
Liu Mengli raised her hand to stroke her sideburns slightly, and the tear stains on her cheeks were still clear, like a wound cut with a knife, glowing with an uncomfortable color. She lowered her eyes slightly, looked down at the dark hut next to the root of the tree outside the window, and finally said softly for a long time: "Tianhe, please take care." ”
After being entangled for too long, she was the only one left obsessed with this foregone conclusion, and she was not someone who couldn't see it.
A qiē, maybe it should have been let go a long time ago.
*
Shouyang in March, the breeze is peaceful. There were wisps of fleeting sweet fragrance floating in the air, which seemed to be coming from the Bagong Mountain and far into the small city. On the street, it is not lively, every household carries relatives, buys some fine bamboo strips and paper on both sides of the road, and says that they want to fold a few prayer lamps with their own hands and put them in the pond outside Liufu.
According to legend, a hundred years ago, Liufu was once prosperous, and there was no such decadent scene as it is today. Although the vermilion lacquer gate is often closed, passers-by are all two people in the house. One is Liu Shifeng, the order of Shouyang County, and the other is his daughter Liu Mengli.
Liu Shifeng has been an official for many years, judging cases like gods, and has overturned the case for the old matter, in order to make the unjust case to be unjust, he did not hesitate to confront the ministers of the court, so he was deeply loved by the local people and soldiers. And his daughter Liu Mengli, in order to make the people of Shouyang live a prosperous life, she risked her life several times and went into Bagong Mountain alone to pick herbs. And the method of making incense sachets was taught to the people. Later, although several people were injured by the Huai Demon due to excessive picking by the people, it was Liu Mengli who solved the matter with a woman surnamed Han and a man surnamed Yun who joined the woman Luo Yan.
It's just that after Liu Mengli left Liufu because of something, everything changed. First, his mother Ruan Ci, because she missed her daughter, became ill with grief, and gradually lay in bed; Then there was the coup d'état in the DPRK, the emperor was reduced to a prisoner and the ministers were in power, and Liu Shifeng was imprisoned. Soon after, he died suddenly in prison. When Ruan Ci heard this, he was saddened and passed away soon after.
Rats leave a sinking ship.
All the servants and maids left the house and returned home, but there was only one guard, named Pei Jian, who did everything to keep the Liufu and stayed in it, never married. One person looked at the green tiles covered with ink moss, the vermilion paint lost its color, the peach blossoms flew, and the pink petals fell.
Before Pei Jian died, he asked his descendants to bury him at the entrance of Liufu Mixiang Garden, and sealed Liufu, and no one entered again.
Nowadays, when the peach blossoms are flying in March, people turn over and fold a few prayer lamps. This seems to have become a constant custom in Shouyang for a hundred years.
A fragrant wind of relief wafted by. Compared with the taste on Bagong Mountain, it makes people feel calm. Everyone was curious, and they all looked sideways at the city gate—
But the source of incense is nowhere to be found.
Edgeworth to the Misty Fragrance Garden.
Liu Mengli stepped on the ground with her skirt slightly, and several budding peach blossoms suddenly opened as if sensing the return of the master. The shawl between the arms is as soft as a cloud, and a few petals fall quietly, and slowly fall along the silk lines.
She still remembered that day, she stood in front of her, muttering: Dream shadows and mist flowers, all empty, because of the chaos of her thoughts, Fang chased away the dust...... It's not as good as ten thousand--general-dissolution-dissolution——!
Now the peach blossoms are still brilliant, as if they were still in those years. Inadvertently looking into the pavilion, the lonely shadow of the pavilion was reflected in the water, and the pavilion was even more empty.
"How's Hua Qing? Back and forth, waste the spring and autumn. Liu Mengli bowed slightly, as if she was in a hurry, but the corners of her lips were quietly blooming with a touch of deep bitterness. Although the full garden ** is the last to stay, it is just a waste of time. Looking sideways at the old road, the vines on the arch are entwined and bound, hanging down to hide the entrance. But on the land to the right, there is a green mound without words. Liu Mengli knew in her heart and took a few steps forward. Before he could stand still, a sudden voice behind him: "Mengli? The familiar voice immediately made her tremble.
Turning his head to the side, there was a red shadow floating in the air, and his figure was curvy. Looking up, the red shadow had a melon seed face, his eyes were extremely agile like a fawn, his skin was thin and his teeth were thin, he was holding his bun, and he was smiling beautifully, which was extremely moving.
Who would it be if it wasn't Han Lingsha?
"Rhombo?" A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Mengli's eyes, and then she wondered in her heart: No...... It has been more than 100 years since Lingsha left, but now it appears here, which is really strange. So Liu Mengli put away her closeness, raised her hand to brush her sideburns, and asked softly, "Lingsha, why are you here?" Han Lingsha was stunned for a moment, and replied to the question: "Hey~ Mengli, how long has it been here, I didn't expect to see you again~ What, with you in the Illusion Realm, it should be very peaceful, right?" ”
Liu Mengli was silent with her head sideways, and looked at the pink petals everywhere without saying a word, obviously rejecting people thousands of miles away. Han Lingsha has always known her temperament, and knows that the trick of opening up the topic will not work for her, if she goes around a few more times, she may go back to the house, so she has to sigh and explain: "Good Mengli, don't ignore me...... It was the old man of Hades who saw that I had done a lot of good things with you in the human world, so he left me in the ghost world to avoid the suffering of reincarnation. At this point, Liu Mengli was already a little moved. And Han Lingsha couldn't help but think of the past events with everyone in front of her, and a layer of sourness suddenly surged in her heart.
"You enter and leave the human world at will, I'm afraid it's ......" Liu Mengli said, believing that she was Han Lingsha.
"Well~ It's still Mengli, you think about it thoroughly! But don't forget, I, Han Lingsha, am a famous big ~ thief ~ Oh! Han Lingsha crossed her hands on her hips, pursed her cheeks, and her bright eyes revealed a familiar and ridiculous look. Liu Mengli pursed her lips and smiled, she liked this feeling of peeling off the unfamiliar. However, Han Lingsha instantly retracted her movements, and said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to go to see Tianhe, but ...... But what if you can see him? and couldn't take care of him, leaving him alone...... This will only make my heart more uncomfortable. I don't want him to know that I'm still in this world. And Ziying, the sword qi is too heavy, and I am just a soul, and I have no substance—I don't want my soul to fly away. ”
Liu Mengli replied with an "um" sound: "Tianhe...... No, Yun Gongzi is doing well, and you don't have to worry. He also misses you tightly. ”
"Mengli, you don't have to ...... like this" Han Lingsha couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when she heard her deliberately avoid it. I wanted to say something more, but I was afraid that it would make Liu Mengli even more sad, so I also changed the topic and said: "Haha, miss me? That fool, how can you know what longing is? He can't see...... I'm afraid it is, huh! Even my grave is overgrown with weeds that are so tall that I don't know how high! ”
Even if she deliberately wanted to ease the atmosphere, Han Lingsha still lost her previous excitement. Liu Mengli closed her eyes slightly, feeling her spirit. Then he shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "Not really. Ziying should be frequented. Besides, you can also check it out in the future. I use the back-to-back incense to give you an entity for an hour. Like before, the four of us—"
Four people.
I can't remember how many hours the four of them were together; I can't remember how many days it took for the four of them to get together again. Liu Mengli's heart trembled, and she closed her mouth and stopped talking about the past. However, Han Lingsha instantly remembered something that had made her anxious recently, and she shook her forehead and said secretly in her heart: I almost forgot, Ziying...... Does Mengli still know that Ziying has not yet become an immortal, and her longevity will be exhausted? After thinking about it carefully, she nodded again: Yes, Mengli has been in the illusion for a hundred years, how could she know what has happened over the years? Besides, Ziying didn't want her to know, so she wanted to keep it a secret...... Han Lingsha touched her cheek with her fingertips and said to herself: "Now that Mengli has returned to the human world, it means that Ziying doesn't have to die." But Mengli only knows how to think about others and ignore herself...... If it's self-defeating, it's bad. ”
"Huh? What the? Liu Mengli couldn't help but raise her head when she heard the word "bad". And Han Lingsha came back to her senses, turned her heart sideways, and said, "Mengli, you listen to me slowly-"
It turned out that on that day, after the Nine Heavens Xuannu took away Xuanxiao Frozen Qionghua, Yun Tianhe took Han Lingsha back to Qingluan Peak. And Murong Ziying decided to continue cultivating immortals and traveling the world alone, and since then she has been cut off. The days gradually passed, and Han Lingsha and Yun Tianhe were very happy after they got married. However, the good times didn't last long, and the cold qi of Wangshu Sword finally invaded Han Lingsha's body, and Yun Tianhe wanted to follow Yun Tianqing and find Yin Yang Zique to renew her life. But Han Lingsha knew that the world was so big, and Yun Tianhe's eyes couldn't see - every time the cold attacked, she hid in the tree house alone. In order not to worry Yun Tianhe, he even lied to him that he was very warm and very good. However, the body is getting worse day by day, and the cold is becoming more frequent every day. At this time, Murong Ziying came to Qingluan Peak to visit her old friend, and after learning that Han Lingsha's time was running out, she resolutely decided to go to find Yin Yang Zique for Yuntianhe - not long after, Han Lingsha's red face passed away quietly. At that time, Murong Ziying was still unknown on the way to find things. When he returned a few months later in vain, he learned that Han Lingsha had passed away, and he was suddenly stunned and blamed himself. Thinking that among the four people, two of them have been lost, and since then, he has also put aside the matter of cultivating immortals, and let the years go by year after year.
After Liu Mengli heard this, she was silent for a while, lowered her head and raised her head again, and said softly: "So, he is about to end his life?!" When we saw each other that day, I ...... I didn't even notice ......"
"Ziying's temperament, you and I are not ignorant. He probably didn't even bother to let us know about him, and I only found out a few days ago when I peeked into the book of orders. ”
"It's already on the order book!" Liu Mengli's eyes widened, "Isn't it only a few days?" ”
"Hmm......" Han Lingsha rubbed her cheeks with her fingers again, thought for a while, and said, "Mengli, don't you have any way to make him go back to the way he was before?" ”
"This ...... Yes...... Some. ”
Liu Mengli responded softly, but her face was full of sadness. Helplessly, her methods are all witchcraft.
Han Lingsha didn't think much about it, just heard her say that there was a way, and immediately said happily: "Great~ It seems that God really has eyes, let Mengli come back at this critical juncture, and there is still a way to save Ziying~ I can use my hands and feet there, so the rest will be asked to Mengli you~" After speaking, she smiled even brighter. Liu Mengli smiled faintly, pursed her lips, and said, "Okay." But I don't know how to find Ziying. Sword Shrine, I don't know where it is. ”
As for this, Han Lingsha said casually: "It's okay~ The Imperial Lady Jade is inducted when the master is in trouble, and when the time comes, Mengli you make a few little demons in this garden, and the Imperial Lady Jade will attract Ziying to him~"
Imperial Jade ...... How can it be ......
Liu Mengli looked surprised. Before asking, Han Lingsha explained: "Good dream glass, it is Tianhe who thinks that one day you will definitely come back from the Illusion Realm, and you will also need this imperial jade to suppress the demonic energy." I thought of Ziying traveling all over the world, maybe I would meet you, so I gave him the jade, you-"
"Hmm." Liu Mengli still responded indifferently, "Lingsha, then we will make up our minds." Tomorrow I will make a little demon here, and then Ziying will come...... If he doesn't want to, I can only ......"
The wind blew slowly, and rolled down countless petals. There is a melancholy fragrance for a while.
