Shi Youliang found Wen Linxi and expressed his doubts. Wen Linxi took the brochure and read it, and told Shi Youyou: "Although this work is an imitation, the person who carved it is a famous contemporary carving master, and the materials are expensive, and compared with the original, the imitation is said to be more fine, so the price is higher."

Such a reason can be understood by Shi You, but it is difficult to accept. smiled: "It seems that the living ones are really more valuable." ”

Wen Linxi probably understood Shi You's meaning and told him: "This is also no way, in the collection industry, if someone invests, it will appreciate in value, if this thing is auctioned, it will be worthless." ”

Wen Linxi glanced around, and then whispered again: "However, the writer is a famous master, and this thing is also a popular commodity in this auction, so it is almost impossible to lose the auction." ”

Shi Youliang smiled and said to Wen Linxi: "Okay, you seem to be quite busy, so I won't make trouble for you." ”

Wen Linxi is a person who can distinguish between work and life, today she is the main character, and she does have a lot of things to be busy, so she will no longer entangle with Shi You, and tell Shi Youliang and Chen Ya: "Then you are at your own convenience, and you can find me at any time if you need anything." ”

After walking around the venue for a while, the novelty quickly disappeared, although there were many works that looked very good, but the price was not something they could afford, and Shi Liang was not suitable for such an occasion, Chen Ya felt that she was about to faint.

Shi Liang called Chen Ya: "If there is nothing you want to see, let's go outside for a walk." ”

Of course, I couldn't ask for it, Chen Ya immediately agreed: "Okay." Immediately hesitated again: "But will this make Wen Linxi embarrassed." ”

Shi Youliang looked at Wen Linxi, she was greeting the guests, and she didn't seem to have time to take care of them, so she said to Chen Ya: "Probably not, I probably just think it's not good to leave me at home when I ask us to come." ”

Shi Youliang said this, Chen Ya put away her heart, and went for a walk outside with Shi Youliang.

For Chen Ya, being able to leave the venue and walk around the island is a gift from heaven. Walking on the seashore with the person you like is the most romantic thing, not to mention, Shi Hao took her out for a walk, which simply saved her from hell.

The two of them strolled on the beach, looking at the dark sea, Chen Ya couldn't help but feel timid, and said a little sadly: "Compared with this sea of stars, people are really weak, in the vast universe, a person seems to be no different from a speck of dust." ”

Girls are easily sad, although Shi Liang can't understand, he can tolerate it. She didn't know what to do to make Chen Ya's mood better. After thinking about it for a long time, he replied to Chen Ya: "Maybe, but my thoughts are a little different." ”

Shi Youliang's idea was different, and Chen Ya wanted to hear what he said: "What do you think?" ”

Shi Youliang said: "I think people are very great, everything in the world, every flower, leaf, and dust is very great. ”

Chen Ya looked at Shi Yu and asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”

Shi Youliang said: "I have seen such a story:

A long time ago, the Son of Heaven of the underworld invited a white dragon and a fox who went to the underworld to extradite the souls of the dead. The white dragon is called Feather Dance, and the fox is called Prison Flame

The banquet was full of exotic flowers and fruits, and there was no meat and wine.

Seeing that the two of them had no way to settle down, the Son of Heaven of the underworld explained: "The two of you forgive me, there are friends from afar, who should be entertained with good wine and food, but the people living in the capital city are all elves and ghosts, and the temple is also the intersection of all kinds of things. ”

When Yu Wu heard this, she couldn't believe her ears, exhaled softly, and asked him, "Don't these strange flowers and fruits have any relatives on errands?" He said this pun, if there is no reasonable answer, the son of hell will become a hypocrite.

But she is not the first to have such a question, the Son of Heaven in the underworld has already had an answer: "No, people die as ghosts, ghosts die as deaf, deaf death as Xi, and Xi dies as Yi, the reason why the strange flowers and fruits of this capital city are undefeated for thousands of years is because it is these souls that return to the dust that hold them up, and what nourishes them is all the living beings in the Three Realms. ”

Now it's okay, just now she just resisted eating flowers and fruits, and now she looks at the things on the table and thinks they will get up and bite her neck.

The Heavenly Son of the Netherworld put a petal in his mouth and continued: "The two of you don't really need to think about it, what is chewing into the stomach is not only flowers, plants, fruits and trees, we wait for the golden body to attain the Tao, enjoy all the beauty given by the Heavenly Dao through the ages, and we should also pay something to swallow these many sufferings for all living beings." ”

He said it so high-soundingly that the two of them couldn't eat it if they wanted to.

Prison Flame put a petal in her mouth, and gently bit it open, the taste was extremely bitter, as if a person's life's misery was put on this petal, and she must swallow this misery to complete a redemption.

The situation of Yu Wu was not good, she chose a good-looking fruit, but when she bit into it, it was sour and astringent, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

Don't dare to move the chopsticks anymore, the son of heaven put down the chopsticks and told her two: "The petals you eat have the life of a slave in it, that woman has been a slave since birth, I don't know who my father is, I live with my mother on the edge of the cowshed, I haven't eaten a full meal after weaning, it snows heavily in winter, he can only curl up in the arms of the ox to keep warm, he started working at the age of six or seven, and when he died, he was only twenty years old, skinny, his body was only two feet in size, and there was no place to bury him, so that the wild dog gnawed the bones." When he arrived in the underworld, he asked the judge, 'What will be my fate in the next life?' The judge told him: 'Slave, you must not die well!' When he heard this, he did not want to die again, and he cut himself off from the court of judges. ”

No wonder it is so bitter, how bitter this life is!

Prison Flame pulled up an ugly smile, or rather, she moved the corners of her mouth, more like crying, and asked, "You can see what happened to them in life just by these flowers and leaves?" ”

Actually, she didn't want to ask this question, but this story was more bitter than that petal, and she had to say something so that she wouldn't cry.

nodded: "Exactly, there is nothing else in the capital city, it is these flowers and leaves that accompany me, and over time, I have practiced this skill." ”

When he said this, the Son of Heaven in the underworld also had tears in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't know whether these tears were crying for his loneliness or regretting the lives of these flowers and fruits.

The taste in Yu Wu's mouth lightened a little, and he asked him curiously: "Then what kind of fate was the fruit I ate before I was born?" ”

"That's a jealous woman, she was born in the family of the scholars, handsome, cardamom climbed to the prince, became the lady of the palace, but she was jealous by nature, she couldn't see the prince and other women think about it, first designed to kill the two concubines of the princess, and then whipped the girl in the room, all the good-looking people in the palace can't escape the poisonous hand, and finally developed to the prince and his sister to get closer to be jealous, and the prince fell in love for three years, and finally got a good relationship, conceived in October and gave birth to a daughter, two or three years old out of the water and spirit, The prince and the marquis are very fond of her, and the daughter is even more in the hand and can't put it down, who would have thought that this woman would be jealous with her daughter, and put her own daughter into the well and drowned when the prince was out. After her death, she asked the judge what kind of person she was in the next life, and the judge told her that she would not be an adult in the next life, and that she would be a horse to ride and atone for the sins of this life. ”

couldn't help swallowing her saliva, what kind of woman is this, how much heart does it take to kill her own flesh and blood.

Thinking so, he laughed self-deprecatingly again, and muttered in his mouth, 'How ruthless it must be to kill your own flesh and blood'!

Both of them know Yu Wu's life experience, so they are not curious about her inexplicable self-question.

The Son of Heaven in the underworld sandwiched some flowers and fruits for each of them: "Not all flowers and fruits in the capital city are bitter, taste these beautiful ones." ”

I just took a petal and had a shadow, and I took a good-looking fruit and fed it into my mouth, the taste was sweet, there was a faint fragrance, and when I entered the abdomen, I felt a burning sensation in the abdomen, which was very comfortable.

This fruit was more like a panacea, and he couldn't help but be curious, and asked him, "This person's predecessor should have no twists and turns." ”

The Son of Heaven in the underworld smiled shallowly and told her: "He was a cultivator in his lifetime, benefiting the people, Puhua Dumin, once traveled to the vassal countries to preach and eliminate demons, when he was one hundred and thirty-five years old, he passed through Xiaohua Mountain, and he didn't know the fat relics of the ancient demon beasts, but he was only a four-legged snake into a spirit, and he had to collect the demon when he sacrificed the magic weapon. After his death, he knelt in the underworld for three years just to see me, and when he saw me, he only asked, 'I may become an immortal in the next life'? Alas! But he was mourned for a hundred years, and the fat relics not only ate his cultivation in this life, but also cut off the immortal roots of his next life, learned the facts, looked at the strange flowers and fruits outside the hall, and muttered to himself, "You can't become an immortal in your life, and you can't cultivate the immortal law in the next life, so why bother to enter the reincarnation, it's better to return to the dust here, and cross those who should die"; ”

I didn't expect these ghosts who had returned to the dust to be so exquisite, and Yu Wu also picked up a fruit in front of him and ate it, the taste was very light, almost impossible to taste, and when I tasted it carefully, there was a hint of bitterness, and there was some slight sweetness in the bitterness.

I can't tell if this life is a blessing or a curse, or ask the son of hell: "What was the fate of this person before his death?" ”
