The Last Farewell Journey (46)
After only sitting for a while, it makes people drowsy, and their eyelids feel a little astringent. Lily closed her eyes, found a comfortable angle, reached out to hold Rong Li, and fell asleep.
This time she came to this Panlong Mountain, she didn't think about going back, the scenery can be seen at any time, she is not in a hurry, not to mention that she has seen too many scenery, for her, these scenery is not as good as the encounter with Rong Li.
After she fell asleep, Rong Li looked at her defenseless face, suddenly the hand around her waist tightened, and his head slowly lowered, he was very close to Lily, he could feel her slow breathing blowing on his face, her eyes were closed, under the thin eyelids, you could still see the shape of the eyeballs, several slender blood vessels buried in the white and almost transparent skin, looking a little weak.
Rong Li's gaze fell on Lily's lips, and gradually froze, he had touched her place, the second time he met her, the Lily at that time fell into his arms, no breath, her body was cold at that time, and the warmth and softness at this time were different, he lowered his head, his expression was so serious that he was close to piety, as if a breeze was blowing a trace of hair on his lips, and when Lily felt a little itchy on his face, and subconsciously reached out to grab the hair, Rong Li had already raised his head.
Lily slept very deeply, and when she woke up, the sun had begun to set in the west, and when she looked halfway up the mountain, the setting sun seemed to be so close to her that she could reach out and touch it.
Rong Li, who had been hugging her, still maintained a reclining posture, but as if he had changed direction, he lowered his head and kept his gaze on Lily. The setting sun sprinkled into the pavilion, almost blocked by his body, and half of his fair and delicate face seemed to be plated with a layer of light gold by the sun, and Lily woke up, his eyes were still a little confused, and he only vaguely saw that he seemed to smile at himself.
Yawned, Lily rubbed her eyes and didn't sit up:
"See what?"
"Look at you." Rong Li's honest answer made Lily stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize what he said, and gave Baili a reasonable haircut:
"Still tired?"
Lily shook her head. Turn your head to look at the mountain plank road on the side. At this time, it is approaching evening, except for a few tourists who inhabit the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, most of the people who go up the mountain to play during the day have already gone down the mountain at this time, and there are many fewer people. During the day, the noisy summit of the mountain seems a little deserted. Just the sound of talking and selling at the top of the mountain. It still adds a bit of popularity to this mountain.
"I heard that there is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, shall we go and have a look?" Rong Li asked for Lily's opinion, and he hated those Taoist priests to the core. If it weren't for those Taoist priests, the lily of the year would not have died because he wanted to wake him up, but at that time he didn't know what hatred was, and now after many years, those old Taoist priests in the past have long been ancient, and the bones are probably rotten into slag and melted into the mud, but it is said that the Taoist temples of all sizes on Panlong Mountain are flourishing with incense, which is quite similar to the prevalence of Taoism in Panlong Mountain back then.
This made Rong Li's heart a little excited, he seemed to have found the only similarity between the current Panlong Mountain and his birthplace, when he heard others mention going to the top of the mountain to burn incense, he began to get excited, but he didn't want to disturb Lily's sleep, so he quietly endured it for so long.
Now that Lily has woken up, the two of them packed up and walked up the mountain, the more they went up, the closer the human voice became, the previous path that was difficult for mortals to climb in memory was dug out of a smooth and safe stone staircase, and a delicate guardrail was built next to it, and there were many Taoist temples above their heads, layer by layer, looking up, the golden and brilliant Taoist temples seemed to have no end.
At this time, it is the evening time, it is the time when the night market is hot, many vendors set up all kinds of snack stalls waiting for customers to come to the door, many stalls are placed in front of the clumsy antique ornaments, large and small Taoist temples, several young men wearing Taoist robes are inviting guests, Rong Li is full of anticipation to go up the mountain, I didn't expect to see such a qiē, and suddenly the whole person was a little dumbfounded.
"Handsome guy, come into the temple to burn pillar incense, the Sanqing Patriarch will bless you with a smooth life and a smooth career throughout the year." A young man wearing a yellow Tai Chi gossip fancy robe, wearing a hat as soon as he saw the lily two people going up the mountain, his eyes lit up, at this time up the mountain, most of them were reluctant to go down the mountain, maybe they would live on the top of the mountain, he grinned: "A branch of peace incense is only 88 yuan, but I wish you a whole year, there is a peace charm drawn by real people in this view, you can keep safe, as long as 188 yuan can please go back, you can drive away ghosts and gods, the food in the view is also very good, it is a well-known chef hired, there is a spare and clean house behind......"
Every time he said a word, the original faint smile in Rong Li's eyes gradually disappeared, this place is always different from back then, he didn't come here to ask for the blessing of the Sanqing Patriarch, these mud bodhisattvas are difficult to protect themselves, let alone bless him?
Rong Xuan suddenly began to feel an indescribable loss, he was faintly angry, he didn't listen to the man's words at all, with his ability, it can naturally be seen that the mud bodhisattva here has no deterrent power at all, the statue of the Sanqing patriarch at the door is painted with golden light, and the green cow on the side is also vividly depicted, but it is just a statue, looking at him coldly, as if laughing at him for walking in vain.
"It's different." At the beginning, those hateful Taoist priests almost ruined him, but those Taoist priests always had real skills, the Taoist temple at that time was not as brilliant as it is now, but the tattered statues inside were really able to suppress all kinds of ghosts, and the demons did not dare to step into the real Taoist temple at all, the statue of the Sanqing patriarch at that time was really with divine power, at that time he killed Panlong Mountain, and wanted to let an old Taoist priest return the lily, he didn't know what life and death parting at that time, and he didn't understand what hatred, It's just that I vaguely felt that Lily died because of these Taoist priests, and they should be allowed to come back, but they were forcibly stopped outside the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch.
At this time, he has entered the Taoist temple, and even reached out to touch the statue, but he did not feel a trace of spiritual power, the cold mud Bodhisattva is still that kind eyebrow, there is no solemnity between the eyebrows, only full of gold dust, leaving eyes full of prosperity.
"What's different?" The young Taoist priest asked with a smile, but Lily understood Rong Li's feelings, and everyone could hear the loss in his words, she shook Rong Li's hand, and the two walked out of the Taoist temple, and the two did not burn incense or donate money, which made the Taoist priest's face a little unpleasant, he chattered in his mouth, Rong Li glanced back at him when he left, and he didn't know that he had walked around the ghost gate.
It took a quick speed to finish walking around the top of the mountain, and it was completely dark, but on the top of the mountain, this was the most lively time, the barbecue skewers, grilled squid, and the boiling voices were intertwined into the most lively streets and alleys, Rong Li suddenly felt a little boring, the past he was trying to find, now it seems that it has really passed, only zài in his memory, the cave where his coffin was placed in Panlong Mountain has long been gone, there is no familiar shadow here, he turned his head and glanced at Lily:
"Xiaohe, I'm homesick." After he said this a little seriously, for some reason, Lily's eyes suddenly felt a little sour, such an ordinary sentence, from what he said, made people feel desolate and sad, she didn't know how to comfort Rong Li, her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
"Shall we go and sit on a higher place and have a look?" Rong Li begged, and his face showed a little loneliness in the moonlight. Lily nodded, he squatted down in front of Lily, waiting for her to sit up, two figures flew up out of thin air in the moonlight, this mountaintop has been transformed into a more conducive to tourism scenic spot, has long been cut into a shape, there is a small undeveloped park above, there is no one on it at night, Rong Li directly picked the largest tree, stepped on the canopy, carefully put Lily down in his arms, see that she sat firmly, then looked around.
All the scenery was different, and there was no place where he could find familiarity.
"I used to sit on the top of the mountain, carrying you out, and at that moment I always felt like I could touch the moon with my hand." After he finished speaking, he raised one hand, but at that moment he raised his hand and felt that the moon that he could touch seemed to be very far away from him, and with a little depression in his eyes, he rested his head on the lily's head:
"Xiaohe, you know what? I miss home. He repeated what he had said before:
"There's a fruit tree growing in that place, your favorite food. When you like to eat, you can't help but watch it twice, and when you don't like it, your brows are furrowed. He smiled and withdrew his hand that was originally pointing to the moon and fell between the lily eyebrows, his fingertips were still a little cold, not because of the night wind, but because he was a zombie, and his body had no temperature. But at this time, because of what he said, Lily felt extremely warm in her heart.
When he first opened his mind, he had picked wild fruits for Lily, and at that time, Lily didn't pay attention to what kind of fruit she liked to eat, but Rong Li picked it, and she ate it, occasionally it tasted good and ate a few more, and if it didn't taste good, she would chew it in her stomach for the sake of the stomach, but she didn't expect that the zombie who couldn't even speak clearly would keep some of her subtle actions in mind, she leaned on Rong Li's shoulder and didn't make a sound.
Occasionally, Rong Li will say a few words about the past, he seems to want to hide the secret he has not had time to share with Lily in his heart to tell her, it is nothing more than something in Panlong Mountain, he inadvertently played and scared which Taoist priest, he has lived for thousands of years, but his heart is as simple as a child, these simple and trivial things, he said for a while, Rong Li's face smiled more and more, but suddenly said: "Li Yanxi has an accident." (To be continued......)
