Zhixi, if you step into the flower thin dock, the dock is full of clouds and mist, and there is nothing to see. The shackles around Zhixi's neck disappeared.

"Zhixi, cover your nose with your sleeves to prevent miasma" Weiruo said to her: "It is rumored that Hua Thinwu, miasma is like a nightmare, and it can cause poisonous illusions when entangled, and it will go crazy for a long time." ”

Zhixi covered her sleeves, didn't know that she was timid, stretched out an arm, let her hold it, the two side by side, hazy there is the sound of Xianle silk bamboo, cuckoo whispering.

After about 100 steps, the fog dispersed, revealing three thousand peaks and forests, Qixiu and handsome, looking like swords, guns and swords. Zhixi vigilantly held the green sword and made a gesture of fighting with the strange rocks: "I have heard of the flowers and thin docks, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and the stones are generals, and there are countless peaks and stones today, and there are countless of them. ”

As he was talking, he felt that under his feet, the cold air was pouring into the soles of his feet, and Zhixi lowered his head, only to find that the lotus cloth shoes were stepping on the murmuring stream, like a cold spring soaking.

Wei Ruo took her by the shoulders with one hand, and took her from the middle of the stream to the open space on his side, and at the same time took out the medicine he had taken from the underworld to recuperate from the cold, and brought it to her mouth, saying, "You are naturally afraid of the cold, and this water is also impregnated with the cold of the Netherworld, so you may be more comfortable if you take it." ”

Zhixi didn't want to take the medicine, but she didn't want to take the medicine if she didn't have good intentions, so she took the medicine in the palm of her hand. Don't beware, in front of them, the mountains are majestic, the strange stones are fierce, between the peaks and the peaks, between the peaks and the peaks, they hand over to each other a single wooden bridge shape of the junction, under the bridge is a deep valley, constituting a natural single bridge on the ravine. A group of hairy monkeys, from the flat ground at the top of the mountain, jumped down, bared their teeth, and pounced on Zhixi.

"Zhixi, be careful!" If Zhixi was pushed away, the pill in Zhixi's palm was unstable and rolled to the ground, and the group of wild monkeys in the mountains left Zhixi and rushed towards the pill rolling on the ground.

Zhixi saw that the monkey, from the top of the mountain 10,000 feet high, like a group of well-trained robbers, rushed down, it was actually for the most bitter pill, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, and sneered: "It turns out that they are just here to grab food." ”

Looking at the monkey-headed king who grabbed the pill, he put the medicine in his mouth, grinning again, leading the monkeys and monkey grandchildren, jumping off the cliff, Zhixi smiled a little forward and backwards, innocent as a child: "These little monkeys, so cute, I don't know that the medicine in the world is bitter!" Now, it's not asking for trouble......"

"Cute?" Before I saw a group of mountain monkeys, they pounced on Zhixi, and now they were all shocked, but Zhixi said that they were cute, and smiled so carefree: "They are just now, can they hurt you?" When you were in the world before, you were always sentimental, teaching separation and distressed maintenance everywhere, why every time you teach me to bump into me, you are like this'Seeing death as home'? ”

Weiruo took her hand to check whether there was a wound, and complained to Zhixi, who didn't care about the image in front of him: "Last time, outside Qiwu Village, you paid off the gambling debts for the master's wife, come with me, remember?" Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, you are crying like this, wanton and exaggerated. ”

"Do you really not understand why I am only like this in front of you?" Zhixi saw that Weiruo didn't understand what she was doing at all, and she felt quite inexplicable, she couldn't understand why he couldn't understand why she was like this. (Well, it's a bit of a mouthful.) ）

Weiruo shook his head, and there was a flattered embarrassment on his face. He looked at her, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"Weiruo, who are you, young master of the underworld. The one who is in charge of the life and death of the king of Yama, the boss. Zhixi also looked at Weiruo, her eyes were so pure, without the slightest artificiality or disguise, crystal clear and shining crystal: "In the world, there is a saying, you should be most familiar with 'people are dying, their words are good, and birds are dying......, and their songs are also mourning'."

If I listened, I couldn't take my eyes off it, and I was engrossed, but the more I listened to her, the more inexplicable I felt: "So what? ”

"So, I have seen you as the god of death in the underworld, what else am I pretending to be?" Zhixi admitted very openly and frankly that in the past infinite years, she has indeed been 'pretending':

"In my past life, for a lifetime, two lifetimes... Most of the time, it's a regular step. I am humble, nondescript, and have no place to belong, so I suppress all my emotions, and do not dare to show any joy, anger, sorrow, or sorrow, and I want to be pitiful and sympathetic at the right time, and I want to be deliberately reckless at the right time. I'm reserved, trying to be in front of people, and I just want people to say, 'She's good.'" However, the reputation of a good person, I didn't fall in the end, but I was tired, so tired, so tired, I didn't like myself like this, and even hated it.

So, only when I see you, I feel unburdened. Because, since I have seen you and died at the end of my life, can't I live myself happily? ”

Zhixi's every word and every sentence is said sincerely, not half a sentence is false, but she is at a loss, and she doesn't know whether she should be moved, cry, laugh, or angry.

"In that case, I have to thank me for who I am." In the end, I smiled, there was no vague kind of laughter, not like before, like a flash in the pan, fleeting, and not easy to detect: "Let me see the most real you." ”

Yes, Zhixi in front of him is not smiling at all, but it is so real and without disguise.

'If it were me who could let you release the feelings that you had repressed, dared or could not indulge in the past, and could make you truly happy,' thought to me in distress, 'then I am not wrong.' Although, I almost, almost thought just now, that you are different in front of me and in front of others because you like me, but now I am equally happy with such an explanation. ’

"Well, thankfully, it's you." Zhixi said, "So, don't feel guilty for turning me into a weird thing. It is my own truest and most true will that I have heard what you say and what I have revealed when I see you. It's me who wants to do something to prove that I'm useful. Later, although I made mistakes and punished God, I did save some displaced gods, right, I, yes, useful, not useless, right? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhixi paved a lot, and in the end, she just wanted to give him peace of mind.

"Do you even think that I followed you only because of guilt?" Weiruo's heart swelled with an irrepressible sadness: My kindness to you is not all because of guilt, just like I was attracted to you at the beginning, and it was not all because I wanted to seek revenge from you. Perhaps, from Qingyaoyi, the first time you broke into my inner room and crashed into my arms, I already liked you, so I was late, and I couldn't make up my mind to kill you, so I wanted to protect you and make a contract with me, on the condition that I would protect you for the rest of my life, and I agreed without hesitation.

It's just that these words can only rot in his heart, and he can't say them. He promised Meng Po that he couldn't be affectionate to her. However, if you don't say it, won't love be born? Can love not be deeper and deeper, deep into the bone marrow?

"You, you don't have to, be good to me like this. Come to the thin dock, but it's a dead end. Zhixi half-jokingly: "I also buried flowers under the tree, and I also missed" Nong buried flowers today and laughed at idiots, he buried Nong in the year to know who it is', now, I died in Hua Shouwu, and I am no longer afraid that no one will collect my body." ”

When the word 'corpse' was spoken, Weiruo gently covered her mouth, Weiruo, who was never superstitious, was afraid that from the mouth of her beloved, she would curse her own words. "I don't want to collect your body, I'll teach you to live well, live happily, wantonly, and carefree."

"I used to like to deceive myself, but I didn't expect that I worship the awe-inspiring god of death, and I also love to deceive myself?" Zhixi looked at him, puzzled: "I, you, have arrived at the Hua Shou Wu, my little bit of demon magic, don't say that it can't be used, even if it can be unleashed, if there is no strange power blessing, can you deal with the existence of the 'Wandering Garden'-Hua Shouwu?" I heard that here, no one who walks in has ever been able to get out alive! ”

"You also say, I am the god of death, I don't teach you, who dares to teach you to die?" No, really, began to deceive himself. No matter how faithful he is to his master, he is no longer the one who was in charge of his former command.

If you don't help Zhixi, walk more than 100 steps, go around a bend, and suddenly encounter a forest of apricot blossoms, growing on both sides of the stream, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the pollen is tender and lined with the grass is bright green, and the cherry blossoms are colorful.

"The world is full of flowers in April, I don't know how to turn into this," Zhixi turned her skirt in the falling flowers, smiling brightly: "If, this is the gorgeous flower tomb, I will die as I deserve." ”

If I didn't see her, while she was full of liveliness, she was old-fashioned, thinking about her own death, and no matter what she could do, she followed her, bent her eyebrows and smiled, and thought in her heart: 'If this is really the case, I hope I can be in the same grave with you.' ’

The water, getting wider, getting deeper. On the bank of the stream in the forest, there is a small wooden boat.

"Come, I'll give it to you, how about being a fisherman rocking the oar?" Weiruo asked Zhixi with a smile.

"Do you want a ship's fare?" Zhixi asked pretly.

"No capsizing, no money," Wei Ruo smiled. helped Zhixi to get on the boat.

The boat rowed along the stream to the end of the apricot forest, and at that end was the source of the stream. If he helped Zhixi down again, he looked so caring, as if he was already a cloth-clothed fisherman and his wife.

At the source, there is a small cave in the mountain, and the entrance of the cave is extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through.

"You wait here, I'll go first and see," Wei Ruo told her, "If there is no danger, I will come back to pick you up." As he spoke, he dived into the cave alone.

Zhixi grabbed the end of his clothes with one hand at the moment when his body sank into the cave, "Weiruo, don't leave me alone, I'm afraid." ”

Weiruo's body, because of her tugging and words, stopped for a moment, and then she followed. If you could see his face, he would be emotional. Deepest.

At first, the hole was very narrow. It's dark. Zhixi tugged at the corner of his clothes. Later, Weiruo stretched out his hand, took her hand, and took her away.

After walking dozens of steps, the cave suddenly opened up, but saw: the edge of the green tree village, the green mountain Guo is oblique, the noodle field is opened, the wine is talked about mulberry hemp, and it is a happy and harmonious scene.

"This, Hua Shouwu, is different from the rumors." Zhi Xi was puzzled: "Is there a cha?" ”
