Main Chapter 182: Flowers in a Dream
Lan Zeyun saw that the old man looked distressed, his eyes were full of remorse, and he was just about to open his mouth to ask one or two, when there was movement at the door.
Lan Zeyun raised his eyes and saw that Bai Zhongzhong's face was pink, his steps were swaying, his eyes were very confused, and he was holding two large jars of wine wider than his shoulders in his hands, step by step, and he staggered towards the two of them.
"Come on...... Come on!! I have left you two altars, which... These thirty years of amber incense are truly worthy of the name! It really smells good! Old thing, old thing! You've got my appetite right! ”
Bai burped a big sigh from it, then smacked his lips, placed the two large jars on the round table, and reached out and began to pull the lid of the jar.
The old man looked at Bai Congzhong's appearance, he was angry, raised his hand and patted the table, gritted his teeth and scolded: "You bastard!" How much has I been ruined! ”
Hearing this, Bai stepped forward drunkly, hugged the old man and said with a smile: "Why are you so stingy, don't you just have a few jars of wine!" Wait...... When I get back, I'll give it back to you!" ”
When the old man heard this, he snorted coldly, and then took Bai Congzhong's arm and scolded: "Look at your virtue! That's what you said last year! And the result! Leave with a slap on the ass! What a sin it is! I!! … How did I end up with a bastard like you! Honestly, how many altars are there?! ”
Seeing this, Bai was not afraid at all, and said with a smile on his face: "Just... That's all there is left! ”
"What!! That's more than twenty jars of thirty-year-old amber incense, do you know how much it is! I can't afford it with any amount of money! You!!! You!! You're so angry! I really don't know what the difference is between you and a buffalo! It's a waste of that! I'm! Oh my wine! ”
The old man turned pale, stretched out his hand and pointed at Bai Congzhong's nose and scolded for a long time, and then he leaned on the wall and went out to see the battlefield that Bai Congzhong had ruined!
Bai tilted his head from it, looked at the old man's scolding back, and then turned his head and smiled at Lan Zeyun: "Huh? This man... Why did you just leave? You... Don't pay attention to him, he scolded him like this a few years ago, in fact, he scolded every time I came, but every time he didn't give me all his good things, I was also for his good, you said such an old person. If I don't get angry with him, so that he has a little thought in his heart, I am afraid that he will not know that he died in that corner for a long time. ”
When Lan Zeyun heard Bai Cong's words, he felt inexplicably sad, a lonely and widowed person is happy to live in such a huge world?
"I think you're just poor-mouthed and want to drink."
Bai quickly pulled open the wine jar, then looked left and right, and finally on the wooden shelf on the side, took down a cyan and translucent bowl, put it in his arms and wiped it, and then put it in front of Lan Zeyun, added a bowl for her and said, "Taste it!" Taste it! Thirty years of amber fragrance, this is rare! We don't necessarily have the next meal after drinking this meal! ”
Lan Zeyun looked at the bowl placed in front of her, because Du Luo always likes to collect some such ornaments and antiquities, and gradually she understands a little, this bowl looks like the texture is translucent, the precipitation is clear, and it is a lot of things for many years!
"This ...... Not quite right? ”
"What are you afraid of! It's very proper, you just live and use it, do you really think that old thing really cares about these things, he, he's a half-cut person into the ground, you can't take these things with you, keep it, it's good to keep it, it's good to use it a little, this bowl! It's meant to be used for eating and drinking, and it's a waste to put it there. ”
Lan Zeyun listened and shook her head, but the wine in front of her was really mellow and strong, very seductive, and she couldn't help it, so she picked up the bowl and drank it all! The throat is hot and stinging, and there is a hint of bitterness after a sweet and mellow fragrance on the tongue, good wine!
"Huh? I said you... Have you ever been to Huangquan from those places? ”
Bai Zhong blinked his bright eyes full of mist, and stammered at Lan Zeyun and asked.
"I was fortunate enough to be there back then, but over the years, due to the invasion of the demon clan, in order to consolidate and protect the territory of the human realm, the Nine Heavens and Huangquan have long been empty."
"That'...... Then you must have seen the Manzhu Sawa that blooms in full bloom in the Yellow Spring, does not wither in all seasons, and is scarlet and delicate? Isn't it pretty? ”
Lan Zeyun saw that Bai was half drunk and half awake, delirious, he really didn't expect him to think about Manzhu Sawa in the Yellow Spring of the Demon Clan.
More than a dozen acres of delicate Manzhu sawa next to the Huangquan Jiaoxi wooden house appeared in front of Lan Zeyun's eyes little by little.
"Nice and kind! The petals are distinct, each piece is like dyed with blood, the red is moving, the delicate is very beautiful, the wind blows, the boundless flowers will sway, just like the girl with a slender waist dancing, charming and noble, not stained with vulgar dust, although the color is gorgeous, but it looks clean, without a trace of impurities. ”
Bai burped a wine from it, perhaps fascinated by it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of an idiotic smile.
"It's a pity, it's a pity! In the past, I also planned to go to the Yellow Springs to see, the world said that the place was inhabited by a group of evil ghosts, acting cruelly, compared to the demon clan, more than the better, they also said that the unique Manzhu Sawa of the Yellow Spring is irrigated with human blood, smelling a bloody smell, is a very unlucky flower of death. But still, I want to check it out! I don't believe them! They're just a bunch of hearsay. ”
"If that's the case, why don't you go? It's not that difficult to go to Huangquan, with Bai Daochang's ability, there should be no obstacles. ”
Bai listened to it, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity, I only retreated when I walked to the Netherworld, I know that I can see it when I take a step forward, but seeing their faces, I really feel that my heart is so overwhelmed." This person's heart is separated from the belly, and you never know what the right path is that they want. And I... In their eyes, it is wrong to live. That's it, time has passed, what do I say about this, you can tell me about Huangquan, that place, I'm afraid it will be impossible for me to go again in this life. ”
Lan Zeyun saw that Bai gradually felt a little helpless in his eyes, and thought that he must have experienced hardships that others had not experienced, so he had such a sense of detachment from ordinary people, and then he didn't say anything, and slowly told him about the yellow spring in her eyes.
"Walking through the Netherworld Road is the territory of the Yellow Spring, because of the support of the emperor's mana, this Yellow Spring is no longer a desolate place in the eyes of the world, in the Yellow Spring, there are also men and women weaving people, diligent work and life, very peaceful. To enter the Yellow Spring, you must pass through Jiaoxi, there is a well-raised Manzhu Shahua, about ten acres, look at the delicate and beautiful plants, very beautiful. ”
"I ...... I know, I heard that the succubus flower lives in Jiaoxi, and this flower is carefully watered by her, and it must be more delicate and beautiful than other places. ”
"That's right, but now she is no longer a flower girl who lives in Jiaoxi, the world has changed, she has become the matriarch of the demon clan, for the demon clan, for the peace of the Three Realms, birth and death, I will not give up!"
Bai Zhong held his chin, looked at Lan Zeyun with drunken eyes and said, "Have you seen her?" I had seen it in ancient books before, and I heard that her face was ruined and her appearance was extremely ugly. ”
Lan Zeyun shook his head and asked rhetorically, "What does Bai Dao Chang think?" ”
"Me, good comes from the heart, if it is a person with a good heart, his face will be good, and if he is evil, his face will be evil."
"She's beautiful, stunning. Passing by Jiaoxi, and walking dozens of miles further, there is a lifeless river one day, called Lechuan. The river can swallow the soul, and no one can escape, and there is a small bridge three feet wide across the river, called Nahe, Naihe, helpless. On the other side of the bridge, there is an old woman who delivers soup, singing sadly, making work at sunrise and resting at sunset. Souls sent to the mortal world to die and reincarnate. ”
"That's Meng Po, Meng Po sang in a low voice, her voice was like a snake moaning, miserable, ask where she came from, ask her regrets, she has no chance in this life and this life, forget the red dust and enter reincarnation."
Lan Zeyun took another sip of wine, nodded and said: "That's right, that's Meng Po, later, about a few hundred years ago, there was a ferryman on the Lechuan River, the emperor said that he was a lonely soul, because he had an obsession, he stayed on the Lechuan River, and made a ferryman, when he was young, he was a beautiful man with the best in Beijing, such as the moon is noble, and the elegance is very elegant, and now look, only a short and dry skeleton remains." ”
"Hundreds of years? What an obsession, it is possible to stay in the world for so many years, and it will not be extinguished. Bai poured a sip of wine from it, and actually sighed a little.
"Yes, what an obsession, but the person he was waiting for died hundreds of years before him. There is no longer a trace of his wandering soul to be found in this world. ”
"So affectionate? Presumably, the person he was waiting for must be the love of his life. ”
Lan Zeyun smiled and said nothing, the things of hundreds of years ago have long since passed, and what is left in this world is just the deep regret of the world.
"Miss Zeyun, do you know? I often have a dream in which I... I walked with my lifelong friend through the dim and long netherworld path, and then we came to the Yellow Spring, where we lay down... In a large area of bright red manju saw, playing wantonly. We are happy, untold by the world, uninhibited, and not having to look at those who hate us. We can play a whole day of chess, read a day's scriptures, and drink a day's wine! There is no crowd of gold, only the two of us, days... The days will not be boring..."
I often have a dream in which I didn't die, none of this happened in the dream, and we were still happy and unrestrained. I can still live in the sun, breathe the freshest air, watch the clouds roll up, if I want to see you, then across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, rushing towards you.
"It's a pity...... In this dream, every last scene, I can always see a large scarlet manju sawa slowly turning into a pool of foul-smelling blood, the flowers withering in my eyes one by one, the world collapsing, and I finally suffocated and disappeared into this world. ”
