Life: Twenty-one
For a few years, time crawled over his face like a snail, his temples turned white, and his youthful face was old.
Shi Qiu sat in the rocking chair and felt that time passed very slowly, but in the past few years, she has aged at a very fast rate. Sometimes Shi Qiu felt in a trance that she was still the same as when she was a girl, and she and Su Zhi had just gotten married, and she would often be amused by him and blush, or puff out her cheeks angrily.
But sometimes suddenly seeing her appearance in the mirror, Shi Qiu felt extremely strange, and felt that the person living in this world was not her, but another person.
Su Zhi left Zhiwen to her and asked her to take care of Zhiwen growing up, but her body slowly failed, and it turned out that Zhiwen had been taking care of her.
Step by step, the imperial court completely dismantled the private winery, and her winery was gone, leaving only one restaurant, which was managed by Zhiwen.
Within a few years, Zhiwen grew from a half-old child to a man, and when he met the girl he liked, he became a parent by Shi Qiu. When Shi Qiu watched the husband and wife worship heaven and earth, he was stunned again, feeling that he and Su Zhi had just gotten married, as if it was just yesterday, and as if it was just now.
In the past few years, Aunt Sun's son, Xiao Guizi, has come back from wandering abroad, and the young man has faded from his youthful appearance, and he is no longer as reckless in speaking and doing things as before, much calmer, and much more mature.
Xiao Guizi came to find Shi Qiu, first apologized for the wrong things he had done back then, and then said that if Shi Qiu was willing, he was willing to take her away and take care of her for the rest of her life.
Shi Qiu shook her head, she was already old and couldn't walk anymore, her husband and children were all in Liangcheng, her roots were born in Liangcheng, and she would not go anywhere in this life.
So, the little noble son left again, and Shi Qiu looked at the young man who was far away and felt that he would have a bright future, just like Su Zhi when he was in high spirits.
In the second year of Zhiwen's marriage, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a doll, and Zhiwen brought it to Shi Qiu, teaching the doll who could only sleep and cry to call her grandmother.
Shi Qiu looked at the child and smiled from her heart, when she gave birth to Xiao Bao'er, Xiao Bao'er was also like this when the moon was full.
In the blink of an eye, the children of Zhiwen could walk, and Huanhuan ran towards her, with a milky voice, calling for grandmother.
Shi Qiu looked at the child, sat up with the armrest of the rocking chair, picked up one of the locust flowers that fell on his body, and handed it to his little grandson.
The little grandson stretched out his little hand, took it from Shi Qiu's hand, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it decently, then narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said sweetly: "Huahua, fragrant." ”
Yes, the children know that the locust flowers are fragrant, and it seems that they are really big.
Before the end of spring, Shi Qiu left the world, how sad and sad Zhiwen and his wife, and his sister Shi Juan, she didn't see, she only felt confused and going around, and as soon as her consciousness was sober, she arrived at the boundless Huangquan Road.
Suddenly, many memories that had never existed suddenly flooded into Shi Qiu's mind, those pictures were colorful and complicated, she seemed to be her, and it was not her.
When Zhengjue was a little confused, suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind him, the voice was soft and kind, with a bit of just the right amount of joy.
"Congratulations to the immortal official, congratulations to the immortal official, after a time of seven emotions and six desires, his cultivation can be promoted again."
Shi Qiu turned his head, looked at the person who came, opened his mouth, and blurted out: "Huayun Immortal Official? ”
Immortal official Huayun nodded, looking at her still a little confused, and said: "Most people who have gone through the mortal world must have a time to relax, and the immortal official can go back to Xianjun to rest for a few days first, and after it has passed, everything will be fine." ”
Nodding, the auspicious clouds under his feet stepped up, and when Shi Qiu was just about to leave Huangquan, he suddenly remembered something, stopped again, and said to Hua Yun: "Huayun Immortal Official, I want to walk in Huangquan." ”
Hua Yun seemed to be a little surprised, and said warmly: "It's normal if you can't put it down for the time being, just take a look, maybe he has been reincarnated." ”
Shi Qiu was silent for a moment and sighed, "That's the best." ”
Saying that, the two walked towards the side of the Nai He Bridge, and the closer they got closer, they found that the bridges were overlapping and crowded, all of them were people who were concerned and unwilling to reincarnate, but fortunately, the souls had no substance, and more and more people gathered, but they just looked like a white mist.
Shi Qiu searched among the many souls for a while, but did not see the person she was looking for, and was about to give up and leave, when she heard a trace of a void voice that seemed to call her.
"Ma'am."
At this sound, Shi Qiu suddenly turned his head to look at the source of the sound, but saw a somewhat weak figure standing there by the bridge, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth to speak and stopped, standing there quietly looking at her.
Shi Qiu's heart was full of emotions, and she knew that she would definitely meet Su Zhi again.
Looking at her unusual soul, Su Zhi seemed to have learned her identity from somewhere, looked at it with affectionate eyes, and seemed to be relieved, and then opened his mouth instead of calling Mrs., but as many years ago, his voice was soft, and he called, "Immortal." ”
Shi Qiu had mixed feelings in her heart at the moment, at this time she couldn't tell whether she was Shi Qiu, or an immortal official who had gone through several calamities in the Nine Heavens and lived for thousands of years, looking at Su Zhi, she couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was for him.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Su Zhi nodded, but then shook his head again, "Originally, I had some worries in my heart, but I couldn't let go, but now I see that the immortal is well, so I let it go." As he spoke, he looked at Shi Qiu for a moment, "Take care, Su Zhi, you're leaving." ”
Shi Qiu watched quietly, Su Zhi actually saluted her, and then alone and stepped on the Nai He Bridge to go to life.
However, on the other side of the bridge, he drank a bowl of Meng Po soup, and he would completely forget about her.
Shi Qiu suddenly felt very sad, he didn't know if there was a person in the next life, he was afraid that she would be stupid, so he wanted her to live well, and he waited alone on the Nai He Bridge, just to see her again in a few years.
To this day, he is still afraid that she will be concerned, even if he learns that she is an immortal, he does not let her look at the past and give him any gifts, he seems to be afraid of dragging her down, and he left silently alone.
Noticing that his face seemed to be a little warm, Shi Qiu reached out and touched his cheek, but found that he had already burst into tears at some point.
Returning to Xianjun, returning to the palace that belongs to her, everything is luxurious beyond her imagination in the world, many immortal officials learned that she came back from the mortal world, and sent people to send all kinds of gifts, Shi Qiu looked at those gifts, and always felt that everything at the moment was an illusion.
In fact, Su Zhi is just an ordinary person she has met in her hundreds of years of practice, maybe in her glorious immortal career in the future, it is just an inconspicuous stroke, she has met such a mortal before, and she may meet it again in the future, but she feels a little stunned, and in a trance, she still misses a Su Zhi.
That's her husband.
Huayun Xianguan came to see her a few times, and persuaded her that it was not easy to cultivate, and it took hundreds of years to get to where she is now, so don't think about it for a while, and do things that she will regret in the future. After a period of relaxation, this experience in the world is just like a dream, and if you have some understanding, the past will pass, and you can't always be immersed in a dream. The immortals who came back from the training in the immortal county may be in a trance like her for a period of time, unable to distinguish the truth from the false, and let go of their hearts, and when they pass, their minds will be pure.
This is not only persuaded by Hua Yun, but also persuaded by others.
Shi Qiu is a person who listens to people's advice, so she is waiting, thinking that after waiting for a while, she will forget about Su Zhi, and everything will slowly start to get better.
But after a long time, she found that in her deep and shallow consciousness, she was still a mortal Shiqiu, and she was still worried that she couldn't let go of her husband Su Zhi, thinking that he hadn't tried the new clothes she made for him, and he hadn't bought her baked cakes with sesame seeds from the east of the city.
That's it, Shi Qiu felt that she might really be trapped in it, and after a careful aftertaste, the short life with Su Zhi was better than her hundreds of years above these nine heavens, she practiced for hundreds of years, what did she want? With Su Zhi, can't he be the enemy of an unpredictable future!
Shi Qiu felt that what she did was a little crazy, but she didn't regret it, and the people of Xianjun would think she was a fool, and she didn't regret it.
With the treasures she couldn't count in the palace, Shi Qiu ran to the courtyard of Yue Lao Chaojiao in one breath, entered the door, looked up at the marriage tree that gave birth to red clouds, and then stuffed the treasures in her arms into Chaojiao's arms at once.
At this time, the courtyard was empty, looking at the treasure in his arms, he said to Shi Qiu with some embarrassment: "Immortal official, I am now rude, you take it back, the marriage line will not work on the immortal." ”
"Not an immortal."
Shi Qiu looked up, cast a spell, and pulled the one that belonged to Su Zhi, now the color of the line is still light, thinking that it has just been reincarnated not long ago, and the ignorant doll still doesn't know how to feel emotional.
Holding it tightly, Shi Qiu found out his own again, and then carefully tied a knot, and poured half of his life cultivation into the red line, no matter how much the knife and axe cut, the line will never be broken again.
Yue Lao Chaojiao looked at Shi Qiu's movements, and said helplessly: "This, this, immortal officials, don't waste your efforts, you are an immortal, it doesn't work." ”
"It's going to work, please." Saying that, Shi Qiu bowed to Chao Jiao as a thank you, and then hurriedly ran towards the main hall of the Immortal Palace.
Soon, the star officer sighed regretfully and removed Shi Qiu's name from the immortal book of Xianjun, and from then on, there was one more inconspicuous person among all living beings in the mortal world.
Shi Qiu stood at the head of the bridge, picked up a bowl of Meng Po soup, looked at his bright eyes reflected in the soup, and said silently in his heart, Su Zhi, we will meet in the next life, in the next life, how about meeting in another way?
