4 Chapter 4, Moxi, I Chang'an.
In the evening, Moxi came back in a hurry.
I leaned back on the couch, glanced at him, and continued to look at my script. He stood in the doorway for a moment before he walked in with a little restraint. He sat down on the edge of the couch. After a few stumbling words, he said, "I heard that some officers and soldiers have come here today. ”
"Hmm."
"Three-Life ......"
I tossed the notebook aside, got up and sat down, and looked straight at him: "What do you want to ask?" ”
He opened his mouth but still didn't speak.
I said: "I ran away from the officers and soldiers, and I also drove Shi Qianqian away." ”
He looked at me for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.
I raised an eyebrow and said, "What?" It turns out that you want to marry the general's daughter, well, it's not right for me to ruin your marriage. Since you are so reluctant, I will go and get that girl back, I think she is still very affectionate towards you. With that, I went outside.
He grabbed me and blushed slightly: "Sansheng, you know that I didn't mean that. You...... You can eat this vinegar for me, I am actually happy in my heart. Just ......"
"Just?"
"Those soldiers said that you are a monster, and tomorrow you will invite the great master to come here to eliminate the demon."
"Great Teacher?" I remembered the stern-faced old man I saw in that alley yesterday.
Moxi frowned and nodded: "Sansheng, do you want to avoid it?" ”
"Avoid?" I wondered, "Why avoid?" I'm not a youkai. But seeing Moxi's worried expression, I suddenly realized, "Moxi, you have always regarded me as a monster?" You asked me to avoid it, because you were afraid that the great master would expose my identity as a 'monster'? ”
Moxi frowned.
I nodded to myself and muttered, "That's right, I've lived with you for so many years, and my appearance hasn't improved in the slightest. You can make a fire when you want to, and you can make a wind when you want to blow the wind, so it's natural that you think I'm a youkai. Are you scared of me now? ”
After hearing my words, Moxi's face changed a few times, and it was rare to show a trace of anger: "Why should I be afraid of you!" What if you are a monster, I only know that my three lives have never harmed me, I am not an unintentional person, and I feel anything about me in this world! Not to mention that Sansheng is not a monster who does a lot of evil, even if you are such a monster, I still like a monster like you in this life! ”
The word "like" made me happy, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl.
Moxi's temper has always been very good, and he is even more gentle to me, I have nothing to say, it is rare to see him so angry, I think it is very strange: "Then what are you afraid of?" ”
His face stiffened, and he was slightly embarrassed by my words, he was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "Sansheng, I'm afraid that you will be bullied." ”
I heard it and thought it was funny: "Do you remember the backyard of Wang's little fat man's house?" ”
He glanced at me: "There is not a single grass left." ”
I nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay to be bullied, as long as the bullying comes back." I can eat anything from your wife, but I can't afford to lose. You're worried about me. ”
Moxi was amused by me. Didn't say anything more.
When I was washing up at night, I saw a small hole in his sleeve and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
Moxi hid his sleeves: "It's okay, it's just that I had a quarrel with a few soldiers today and hung up on their armor." ”
I stretched out my hand: "Give me the robe, and I'll sew it for you." ”
Lighting the candle, I picked up the stitch by stitch, Moxi sat next to me and tilted his head to watch me sew clothes for him, the smile on the corner of his lips did not disperse, it seemed that this was a satisfying thing.
"Alright." I handed him the clothes, and seeing that his face was full of satisfaction, I suddenly asked, "Is this emperor a good emperor?" ”
Mo Xi put away his clothes and replied, "It should be the Holy Monarch." ”
I nodded: "That powerful general, but a good general?" ”
Mo Xi frowned: "If you talk about leading troops to fight, you are indeed a talent, but you don't need his battlefield blood to stabilize the world and govern the country." ”
I nodded again: "Get rid of him, will people's lives be better?" ”
"Without the constraints of the general, the emperor can let go of reform, and the people's livelihood will naturally be better." Moxi gave me a strange look, "When did Sansheng become interested in these things?" ”
"Would you be happy if you helped the people except the generals?"
Moxi's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his eyes to cover the light: "I'm happy." ”
I still nodded: "It's late at night, you have to be busy tomorrow, go to sleep." ”
When the candle flame in Moxi's room went out, I still sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window at the moonlight.
How could Moxi have a quarrel with someone else for no reason. I thought about today's events together, and understood in my heart that he must have heard someone say that I was a monster, and heard that the great master would come here tomorrow to catch demons, so he couldn't hold back his temper and had an argument with someone for a while.
Moxi has always been a forbearant person, and now he has only been an official for a short time, although he is favored by the emperor, but the emperor did not even give him a house, which shows that his current position is a very difficult position in the court.
Now, I started with the group of people in the General's Mansion in the morning, which pushed Moxi to a cusp.
It's true that I'm different from others. As soon as the great master comes tomorrow, if he says a few words of "too much yin qi" and "not a living creature in the world", then Moxi will not be mixed up anymore......
What to do, you can't be a drag on him.
I remembered the bright eyes in Moxi's eyes when he mentioned his ideals. casually twisted a stealth decision and penetrated into Moxi's house. I looked at his sleeping face and said, "In the end, these three lives are also what you promised me after all." It's not a big deal to spend your whole life defending you. What's more, I'm still your lady in this life, and I naturally have to fully support what the husband wants to do. ”
I sat on the edge of his bed, leaned down, and gently dropped a kiss on his lips:
"Moxi, I Chang'an."
On the second day, early in the morning, a holy decree urgently summoned Moxi into the palace, and before he left, he repeatedly told me that if the great master came, everything would be delayed until he returned. I said yes.
Soon after he left, a Taoist priest dressed quite immortally came to the house. This national teacher looks very young.
"You are so bold that you dare to enter Beijing after killing Master Kongchen."
When the great master saw me, the first thing he said was this, and I was stunned for a long time before I remembered that the empty dust master in his mouth was the monk who had been chasing me for nine years: "No, he died of old age and had nothing to do with me." I'm not a monster, and I can't kill anyone. ”
The national teacher sneered: "The yin qi is pressing, if you are not a demon, can you tell me what you are?" ”
If I say that I am a stoned spirit by the Lethe River, he will only be afraid that I will be called a ghost. I pondered for a moment and said, "How can you be sure I'm a youkai?" ”
"Yes or no, I'll know after I've tested my samadhi fire."
I thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Yes, but you have to burn me on a table in a crowded place." Let the people see it, and if it burns out in the end, it proves that I am not a monster, and you must use your identity as a great teacher to announce to the world that you killed the wrong person. ”
He was stunned by my words, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Hugh is going to play conspiracy!" ”
"Hey, how can you be a cultivator, but your mind is so impure. That's it, I'm in a hurry, right now, you quickly drag me to burn. ”
I walked out of the door quickly, but he was stunned in the room, I frowned strangely, and went back to pull his arm: "How do you look like a girl, you didn't hesitate to start last time when you accompanied the old monk to kill me." ”
When I walked to the entrance of the vegetable market, there were already sergeants who had set up the shelves, and I saw that there were a few soldiers who were very familiar, and I thought that these were also people from the general's mansion. When they saw me dragging the national teacher here unscathed, they were stupid for a while. I turned over and jumped onto the stage, my body was elegant and light, and the crowd of onlookers was amazed.
I hastily tied myself with a rope and beckoned to the national teacher below, "Hey, okay, okay!" ”
The great master didn't make a move at this time, he frowned and looked at me. I watched him dry, too.
Suddenly, a woman rushed out next to her, the woman who accompanied Shi Qianqian to the door that day to provoke.
She saw me and yelled, "That's her! She's a monster! She charmed Shang Shulang's consciousness, and then poisoned my young lady, so that my young lady still does not wake up. National teacher, great national teacher, you must help us get rid of this demon to prevent future troubles! She grabbed the sleeve robe of the national teacher and cried for a while, which was so crying that the listener shed tears and the listener was sad. If it weren't me for her scolding, I'm afraid I'd be with her too.
The national teacher's eyes turned cold, he waved his sleeves away and asked me in a cold voice, "What is your defense?" ”
I sighed, "I'm not a monster. ”
An egg smashed on top of my dress, and a richly dressed child came out of the crowd and raised his hand to smash me again: "You bully Sister!" You're the bad guy! You robbed my sister again! Brother Moxi obviously likes my sister, it's all you! ”
Looking at the two eggs on the dress, I raised two eyebrows invisibly, and what tugged at my heartstrings even more were his two sentences. I sneered, and with a movement of my fingertips, the kid was lifted up by me in the air: "Boy, your sister likes him, but he likes me." ”
He struggled left and right in the air. The middle-aged woman's crying became louder and louder, and she kept shouting: "The demon girl Hugh wants to hurt my little master!" "There was also a lot of noise among the crowd around him.
"Hugh hurts!" The national teacher snorted coldly, I only felt that the rope tied to my body was tight, my fingertips were weak, and the kid fell from the air and was caught by the woman.
Immediately after that, there was a burning body, and a fire ignited on the soles of my feet.
Samadhi is true fire.
This mortal has really cultivated the true fire of Samadhi, which is really not easy.
In fact, I am afraid of fire, and there are few spiritual creatures in the underworld who are not afraid of fire. It's just that if you want to detect the difference between a monster and a spiritual object, it's indeed a good way to refine it with fire. Because if a youkai is burned by fire, it will leave Neidan, and after a spirit or human being burned by fire, nothing will be left.
I'm not afraid of death, because I've never lived in every sense of the word. Huangquan Road, Lechuan River, is my hometown.
I was born in a place where I have died.
The fire burned my whole body in severe pain, and in a trance, I saw my old acquaintance again. They were watching in mid-air as I was enveloped in flames and burned. I wanted to say hello to them, but I couldn't do anything about it.
I don't know how long it took, the burning pain in my body gradually lessened, and with a turn of the black and white impermanence hand, I reached them. The body is lightness that has not been seen in a long time.
"Haha!" Hei Wuchang laughed and patted me on the shoulder, "I've seen so many ways to die, Sansheng, my brothers and I were shocked a few times by your appearance of bathing in fire." ”
The expression on his face was so relieved that I didn't know what to say, so I could only bow my hand to them and say a few polite words, and then turn my head to look down. The surrounding crowd and the woman were overjoyed, cheering the name of the great master. But the national teacher walked up to the high platform alone, his eyes searched in the pile of ashes, and his face gradually turned pale.
"Let's go, go back and talk to my brothers about how you've been doing in this life."
"Wait, wait here for me, I'm ...... I'm still a little bit of a business. ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and Bai Wuchang said, "God of War? ”
I nodded.
"Hurry back."
The royal dragon qi is still strong, but fortunately, I am now a spirit body, and it is much easier to get in.
When I saw Moxi, he was standing across from the emperor's bookcase.
He bowed and said, "May the emperor keep my wife safe." ”
The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "A woman is just a woman after all. ”
"Your Majesty, the three lives are related to the soul of the minister."
My heart fluttered, and the warmth overflowed. fell beside him and circled him from behind: "Moxi, I am fortunate to meet you." ”
Moxi's body stiffened slightly, and he turned his head back sharply. The eyes passed over my body, and I don't know where they landed.
As if sensing something, Moxi suddenly pulled out his legs and walked outside the house.
"Bold!" The eunuchs beside the emperor shouted. The emperor stretched out his hand to stop the eunuch. Moxi walked out of the main hall and ran on the road of the palace.
I followed him all the way.
He went home first, and when he saw that the house was empty, his face turned pale as paper. After standing alone for a while, he ran out again, and he asked a lot of people on the way, and finally staggered to the entrance of the vegetable market.
At that time, the great national teacher was standing on the high platform, holding a handful of white ash in his hand, and said solemnly: "In the name of the great national teacher, I clarified for this female third student that she is not a monster. ”
At this time, all the noise in my ears seemed to have disappeared, and I saw Moxi's eyes empty, and he took two steps back.
I tried to step forward and hold him, but my hand ran through his body.
I sighed.
"Sansheng ......" he whispered my name, with unspeakable pathos.
I replied, "Yes." But it suddenly occurred to him that he could no longer hear my voice and could not see me.
"Three lives."
"I'm here."
And in his eyes, I am gone.
In Moxi's life, the third life is gone.
