The empty mountains drizzled slightly, and the mist was born in a ring direction. There are rippling torrents in the distance, and small finches on the branches cry softly. The two sat opposite each other in the small pavilion, the small jade table in front of them was burning with a faint fragrance of lotus, and the cigarettes were vacated little by little through the gap of the jade ding, swaying upward, circling and spinning, and finally all dissipated into the air. In the lower left corner of the lower left corner, which is close to the side of the fall, there is a copy of the "Lotus Zen Sutra", and the breeze passes, occasionally lifting one or two pages, revealing a very good-looking and regular seal.

Du Luo gently opened the wine jar, a clear and fragrant aroma of wine slowly dispersed, Lan Zeyun glanced at Du Luo with a little weakness, and then stared at the white porcelain wine jar without moving, ten plump and round fingers tightly grasping the skirt.

Du Luo put two white jade porcelain cups, picked up the wine jar upright, and a clear stream slowly flowed down, colliding with the white jade porcelain cups, making a crisp sound of ding dong, Lan Zeyun swallowed his saliva nervously, seemed to have made up his mind, and quickly reached out and took a cup and drank it. It wasn't until the strong and sweet aroma gradually conveyed in the mouth that it was a relief.

Du Luo maintained his original movements, looking at Lan Zeyun fixedly, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and it seemed that some smiles were stifled back.

"In such a hurry? How many days have you not seen you and become a little drunkard? ”

Duluo naturally knew why Lan Zeyun was like this, so he deliberately laughed, Lan Zeyun found that he had lost his manners, his ears were red, and he gently placed the cup in front of him, and said, "It's not... Maybe I'm too thirsty, my throat is a little dry and itchy, and I'm rude. ”

After Lan Zeyun finished speaking, he looked up at Du Luo's expression and found that he was not unusual, so he was completely relieved.

Outside the pavilion, the drizzle gradually became heavier, dripping, covering the wind and shattering the fragrance of peach blossoms all over the trees.

Du Luo took the silver needle and fiddled with the spices in the Ding furnace for a while, and then said: "There is more than half a month, but there is a harvest?" ”

Lan Zeyun stared at the curling green smoke wafting on the Ding furnace, and said, "Yes, the others are just that, but one thing seems to have an epiphany." ”

Du Luo said lightly to Lan Zeyun: "Oh? What's the matter? Let's hear it. ”

Lan Zeyun sighed, suddenly looked at Du Luo's eyes seriously and said, "Dao Law is compassionate, ...... I believe that people treat me as well, I will treat people as well, less trouble, single-mindedly, just hope that I live well, and then I met a person, something happened, she wished me but was sad and hateful, and lived this life happily. And then ...... Looking at the world in all its forms, I can't tell what is the path of Fa-rectification. Sir, what do you say is the right way to live? ”

After listening to this, Du Luo nodded, rubbed the cup with one hand, and said after a while: "As long as you don't move evil thoughts, in fact, any way of living is right, and there is no distinction between high and low." It's just that sometimes, there are always some people who think more than others, and then there are heroes who have been loved through the ages. ”

Lan Zeyun lowered his head and was silent for a long time: "Is it okay not to be a hero?" ”

"Naturally, as I said, as long as you don't have evil thoughts, it's right to live, and no one has the right to force you to do what you don't want to do."

Lan Zeyun raised his head and saw his reflection in Du Luo's clear eyes, it didn't seem to be her, but it was really her. Sometimes it's unreal, sometimes it's real.

"So, what about you, sir?"

Du Luo poured himself a glass of wine: "Well, I naturally know what to do." Because you know what to do,

So, it's a lot less troublesome. ”

Where the heart desires...... Lan Zeyun repeated this sentence over and over again in her heart, what was her heart's desire? Revenge for Ching? And then, what?

Lan Zeyun only felt panicked in her heart, and some tender green seeds had been sprouting in her heart, but she had never paid attention to it.

Du Luo seemed to feel the depression in Lan Zeyun's heart, so he continued: "Don't think about it, there are many things that you can't understand, you have to do it, and then you can know what you want to protect in your heart. What responsibilities you have in this life are all on your path. Wherever you go, you are there. In the dark, there is a judgment. ”

"As for the Tao of compassion... Have you ever seen the joys and sorrows of all living beings, and have you ever been touched by the joys and sorrows of strangers? If you don't understand it now, you will naturally understand it in the future, and as for how to do it, no one can say for sure until then. ”

Hearing this, Lan Zeyun nodded, even if she listened to it, everything in the future is unknown, and now she can't dare to die for the common people in the world like the gods who have fallen from the gods, so everything is empty talk.

The smoke and rain on the building are hazy, and the peach garden at this moment is like a stable shelter, and Lan Zeyun's mood gradually precipitates with the sound of rain outside. The swaying peach on the branches, after being soaked in water, is no longer as beautiful as before.

Du Luo picked up the "Lotus Sutra" on the table and read it page by page. Lan Zeyun was looking at the scenery outside the pavilion in a daze, but after a while, he lay on the table and fell asleep.

When I woke up from the dream, I only heard the warbler crying endlessly, the new rain had passed, and the mist was blown away by the wind. The sky broke through the clouds, and everything was revealed.

The fragrance in the Ding furnace has long been burned out, only a little residual temperature remains, the wine is empty, and the wine smell has dissipated without a trace. Lan Zeyun opened his eyes and sat up in a daze, the person opposite had long since disappeared. Only the moon-white robe that exuded purple gold sandalwood was left on his body.

Lan Zeyun carefully folded the clothes that had fallen off, put them on the table, stretched a big lazy waist, and then walked away satisfied.

The peach blossoms with water droplets in the sunlight sparkled brightly, like bright stars twinkling in the sky at night. More delicate and cute. It was really sunrise in the east and rain in the west, and now that the rain has passed, the sky is clear, and it is a good scene.

………………………………………………

In an old forest deep in the mountains near the border of Shangyue, a sharp cold light suddenly flashed, and a few newly grown tender green leaves swayed left and right in the air, and finally slowly fell among the dead leaves.

On this ground, there are already a lot of corpses, looking like people don't look like people, ghosts don't look like ghosts, their bodies are a little rotten, their eyes are black, and their bodies are filled with a faint layer of black mist. On the treetops next to it, there was a tall figure standing upright, with a few leaves gently on the soles of its feet, as if standing out of thin air. The figure, holding an extremely simple long knife in both hands, did not look very outstanding, with a hat on his head, covering all his face, a wine gourd tied to his waist, and wearing a strong suit made of cotton and linen. It looks very free and easy, it should be a casual cultivator somewhere.

Shen Xiyan raised his head slightly, revealing bright eyes and looking at the corpse that had stopped moving, shook his head, and said, "Really, I thought it was."

What a great thing, just a few little demons. ”

After speaking, he stepped lightly on his feet, and his whole body fell to the ground lightly like fallen leaves in the forest. Then turn around and there is.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have changed a lot, a broken soul, and a mighty earthquake."

A faint voice came from behind him, Shen Xiyan paused, looked back, and said with a smile: "That's not as powerful as your wave cloud fan, if you want to talk about the mighty mountains and rivers, who is the prince of Longhua, Xi Yuan, don't come to harm." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and everything was in plain sight.

In Joetsu Castle, in a remote tavern. Shen Xiyan drank a glass of wine. Straight said: "Good wine!" In other words, if you really dominate the human world, with your reputation, I don't know if you can save me a few drinks money! ”

Xi Yuan smiled: "You are also the son of everyone, if you are really willing, how can you have less money for wine?" ”

Shen Xiyan looked up to the sky and smiled, at this moment he took off his hat, looking much tougher than before, and there was a faint stubble on his chin, but the eyes that had seen the suffering of the world were already in another state of mind.

"Oh, don't talk about this, are you going to accept Shangyue when you come to Shangyue this time?"

Xi Yuan nodded, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, now that the demon clan frequently invades, he has no choice but to speed up the progress, once the human world is unified, he can concentrate on resisting the enemy.

Shen Xiyan knew it in his heart, so he didn't talk about it anymore, the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles, the sky is high and the water is long, it is not easy to meet once

"A few years ago, I heard that there was a movement in the southern kite, so I immediately rushed over, hurried slowly, and when I arrived, you had already left, so thinking about it, there are some things that cannot be forced. You see, this time we walked and walked, and we actually met. ”

As soon as Shen Xiyan chatted, it was like opening a conversation box and talking endlessly

"Also, earlier, I passed by Longhua and heard that you were ...... It's so unfortunate that I didn't even miss your marriage, and now I can't have a few drinks with you that day, which is a big regret in my life. ”

Somehow, all of a sudden, the air gradually solidified, and the two suddenly had no words and were relatively silent.

Shen Xiyan drank two glasses of wine violently before saying: "Actually, it's nothing, I know that you married her just to be able to get all the military and political power in Longhua, so that you have the ability to do more things, to be honest, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, I can't do this." ”

Xi Yuan was silent, only listening to Shen Xiyan's babbling, they all understood that there was a thorn in the horizontal here, and it could no longer be pulled out from the moment that person left.

For about half an hour, Shen Xiyan seemed to be drunk, his eyes were not very clear, and even his speech was a little incoherent

"Hey! Xi Yuan, Xi Yuan! I, although I don't know the relationship between you, but I think she also loves you very much, do you know what her last request was before jumping off Lin Yatai? She said she wanted to wear her daughter's red wedding dress once. ”

Shen Xiyan's every word was like a stinger piercing Xi Yuan's heart, he had really failed someone in his life, and the edict of the crown princess who he begged from Longhua was still lying quietly in the innermost layer of his bookcase. He didn't hesitate when he went to Longhua, and he didn't hesitate when he agreed to the conditions and asked for the holy decree, but finally on the last step to Lin Yatai, as if he was being dragged by something heavy, he couldn't lift a single step.
