Chapter 18: The Story of an Old Friend
"There are three things, Madame, would you like to hear them first, or will they make you unhappy, or will they make you angry?"
"None of them are good. Lulunaka sighed, "But when I saw you, I knew I hadn't had much luck lately. Lulunaka didn't expect that until now she realized that she herself had been a little unlucky recently, and she never found out about it, but until now, she finally realized how unlucky she was. "Say it makes me angry first. ”
Chen Baihu immediately answered, was silent for a while, and then took a light breath, as if he had made up his mind. "Madame, a few years ago, there was a ...... The man we called Yi people in the Central Plains came to the border with a group of refugees, some of them entered the Central Plains and settled, and the other part of them continued to the east until they reached the Sang country facing the endless sea. These people say that they come from the Twin Eagle Empire, far to the west, but the Twin Eagle Empire ceased to exist more than a decade ago. ”
"The news spreads quite quickly, but people don't go so fast. Lulunaka whispered, "I don't know how many people died along the way." ”
"That's where the wonder is, ma'am. Chen Baihu continued, "The man who led the refugees to the Central Plains, I don't know how his world is on this side, but in the Central Plains, he ...... At least a saint. ”
This aroused Lulunaka's interest, "Saint, when will anyone be able to have the posture of a saint, could it be that you have done some official canonization, and saints are everywhere?"
Chen Baihu could only smile bitterly at Lulunaka's ridicule, "At first, the people of the Central Plains only treated that man as a person, but soon he came to prominence and became the existence of most of the Central Plains...... He went to Kongming Temple and discussed with the old abbot there for fifteen days and fifteen nights. ”
"Isn't it boring to talk to a monk? ”
Chen Baihu shook his head, "He...... Discussed with the old abbot the way to enter the world and be born, and in the end, the old abbot left the temple, went to become a wandering monk, and went west, and disappeared. Another group of people who went west from the south went to find the old abbot. As for the man, he took the place of the old abbot in Kongming Temple, sat dry for a year, and then continued eastward to the country of Sang. ”
Luluna Kahaha laughed, "It's been explained by a Yi man using your reasoning, this is really a good mood, why does it make me angry?"
Chen Baihu took a deep breath, "Madam, that man should be someone you know." The emperor gave him Luo Zhengkong's Chinese name, but his original name was Past...... No, it's the deepest hidden, Paladin. ”
Lulunaka lost her cheerful breath and laughter. The smile on her face froze, and it looked like a stereotypical smile carved out. "Hmph...... You guys are so capable that you have turned out all his names. Is there anything else you haven't translated? Is it clear what happened to me and him?"
Chen Baihu seemed to be calm and composed, but his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, "Madam, I'm just curious about why a person from the West is so familiar with Buddhism and Taoism, and he calculates a hexagram like a joke - the person in charge of divination is already too scared to go out." ”
Lulunaka doesn't care about what the person who wants to use the so-called "destiny" to spy on her is now, she thinks it's self-inflicted, "Idle, nosy, full of food and nothing to do, you immortals are really amazing." Thanks to the different mechanics, you're not like the astrology maniacs here, who don't have brains after looking at it...... Forget it, saying this just makes the mood worse. Lulunaka shut up and didn't say any more, sulking.
"No one dares to really peep at the destiny of heaven, and the fortune teller will stop immediately when he is about to touch you. Chen Baihu said with a smile, "So I didn't let you catch it, otherwise the immortal he worked so hard to grind out would be gone." ”
"It has nothing to do with me. That thing will ignore you, but if it goes out of line, a thunderbolt will come down. Lulunaka said, "That one named Luo Zhengsheng, I was caught doing things against my heart in the future, and I educated him easily, and I got along for a while, that's it, if you say how close the relationship is, it's really intimate." Lulunaka said the words that made Chen Baihu's heart ripple, and she didn't care at all, "He has done things against his heart all his life, and he wants to close his heart and escape to a place where no one touches, so I talked to him for a while about the truth of escaping the world, and I didn't expect that he really let him figure out the way by himself." ”
"If you say that, then Luo Zhengsheng is your ...... Madame."
"I don't accept apprentices, and I don't have any closed disciples. Lulunaka said angrily, "Whatever apprentices and students you take, you will be angry with yourself." ”
Chen Baihu didn't ask any further, but the Western "saint" named Luo Zhengsheng remained in his heart.
As if peeking into what Chen Baihu was thinking, "It has nothing to do with me whether I am dead or alive, when I went out of the city to say goodbye, I told him, goodbye, never again, never again." ”
"I won't bother with such a saint. Chen Baihu laughed a few times to hide his embarrassment in the past, "It's just a pity that he stayed in Sang Kingdom." ”
"To the end of the world, there is no one but life. Lulunaka remembered something from the past and chuckled, "I didn't lie to him, but if I stopped like this, I wouldn't be able to reach that paradise of seclusion." ”
The Mulberry Country is the end of the East, and further east, there is the endless sea, and no one knows if the end of the sea is the end of the world - the world far from the coast is already another magic realm, and no one can cross through it.
And what Lulunaka is talking about is naturally what can be seen in the end after crossing the endless sea. She suddenly said to Chen Baihu: "If you immortals are so idle, why don't you go across that sea and see the paradise of death? Chen Baihu smiled bitterly, "Madam, it's not easy to pass through that demon realm." ”
"That's all you immortals can do. Luluna Kahaha laughed, and her mood suddenly improved a lot, "But if you don't be greedy for life and afraid of death, you can't be an immortal, it's not strange." ”
After laughing, Lulunaka returned to her listless appearance, "I don't want to hear about that man anymore, a guy who escapes to nowhere to run." Let's talk about everything else. ”
