Chapter 177: Homesick
As the minutes ticked by, the princess fell to the ground with the sound of a rooster crowing.
Li Yan knelt beside the princess and cried, "Woo...... Princess, forgive me for not speaking my heart to you. It's that I thought too much back then, and if I told you, would we be together...... Life. ”
A moment later, a white light emitted from the princess's body. After the light passed, the princess reverted back to the appearance of the white mandarin duck.
The white mandarin duck slowly opened his eyes, and when the white mandarin saw Li Yan, his body hurriedly moved towards the rear.
"You...... What are you doing? Bai Yuan looked at Li Yan and said.
When Li Yan heard this, an expression that seemed to cry and laugh appeared on his face. His eyes were tightly fixed on the figure of the white mandarin, and he stretched out his hand to lead the white mandarin, but his hand fell halfway down.
I came back to my senses and said to Jiusheng: "You and Qing Yao take the white mandarin duck back, and then let the white mandarin's soul return to the body, I am sending Li Yan away." ”
Jiusheng and Qing Yao nodded after hearing this, and then walked out from behind the stone and took the white mandarin duck away.
When they left, I walked out from behind the stones.
I slowly walked to Li Yan's side, I watched Li Yan slowly open his mouth and said, "My wish has been fulfilled, are you happy now?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. Li Yan raised his head and looked at the eastern sky with a hint of light.
I took two steps forward and stood side by side with Li Yan: "Do you feel that those words came a little late?" If I had been braver, would there have been a different ending? ”
"Huh...... Perhaps. But I was content to hear those words, and I played the last song for her again. Li Yan said with a smile.
"Can I ask you for something?" I suddenly turned my head to look at Li Yan and asked.
"Daoist don't need to be polite, you helped me fulfill my wish, and I am already very grateful. There is something, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
I hesitated and said, "I...... I want you to teach me that tune, I don't know...... I don't know if you want to. ”
"It's okay, let's let this song continue to circulate here with the Taoist." Li Yan lowered his head and said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, Li Yan disappeared directly on the spot. And I can clearly feel that Li Yan has entered my body.
After a while, I actually knew in my mind how the song was played. And my hand actually moved unconsciously, and then there was a wonderful melody in my head.
Soon after, Li Yan appeared beside me again: "There is a flute made of white jade in my coffin, even if it is a thank you gift for the Taoist chief to help me." Besides...... Dao Chief, I still have a reluctance. ”
"Please."
"I don't want anyone to disturb the princess in that tomb, so I want to ask the Taoist to seal the two holes. That way, no one will bother the princess anymore. ”
After hearing this, I nodded, and agreed to Li Yan's request.
At this time, Li Yan's body was almost transparent, but his face was full of smiles.
A moment later, the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, and Li Yan's body was completely enveloped in sunlight. I watched Li Yan's figure take a few steps back, and Li Yan completely disappeared at this moment.
I looked at Li Yan and shook my head helplessly: "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death?" Hehe...... Maybe I've been through it before. ”
I don't know what the feelings of Li Yan and the princess are, I have envy and sympathy in my heart. At the same time, I also wanted to have such a relationship, but I was a little scared.
I stood here for a long time before I turned to leave. But instead of going back to the village, I went straight to the princess's tomb. Since I promised Li Yan, I must do what I promised him.
After returning to the tomb, I took out the flute made of white jade from Li Yan's coffin. The flute is snow-white and looks so exquisite. After that, it took me a long time to completely block the entrance and exit at both ends, and when everything was done, I returned to the village.
When I went back, I really couldn't hold it anymore. When I got back, I fell asleep in bed, and when I woke up again, it was night. After asking Jiusheng, I realized that I had slept for a whole day and a night.
After getting up, I simply ate something, and the villagers were basically asleep at this time. Bored, I saw the flute next to me, and then remembered the melody.
I climbed up to the roof with the flute, and I slowly put it to my mouth. I remembered how I played that melody, and as I breathed out of my mouth, the sound of the flute came out.
It's still the same tune, but when I blow it, it's more of a really sad feeling. At this time, I seemed to be able to think of what kind of feeling Li Yan had in his heart when he played for the princess for the last time in the pavilion.
Obviously, the girl he loves is by his side, but he can't say his heart to her. And she is going to be someone else's bride tomorrow, and who can understand the struggle and pain in her heart.
When I was halfway through the blow, I realized that Qing Yao, Bai Yuan, and Jiusheng were sitting in the courtyard listening.
"Go on, I'm halfway through hearing how to stop." Jiusheng's impatient voice came.
I shook my head helplessly, and then continued to play.
The flute sounded again, and the three of them sat in the courtyard and listened to the song with their eyes closed. As I blew, I turned my gaze to the white mandarin duck with her eyes closed, and now she had no memory of what had happened before. She would not even remember that a man dressed in white had played this piece for her one night not long ago.
She will not remember that she had loved that man deeply in her previous life, but she and the man did not say what was in their hearts until she died. Maybe this is a missed arrangement arranged by God, a kind of fateful miss.
When the song was finished, the three of them slowly opened their eyes. Jiusheng and Bai Yuan returned to the house with a feeling of unfinishedness, while Qing Yao came to my side in a flash.
"Well, I don't know if I'll be like this in the future." Qing Yao said with a sigh.
I looked at Qing Yao with a puzzled look and asked, "What's it?" ”
Qing Yao turned her head to look at me and said, "You idiot, why don't you know anything." ”
Saying that, Qing Yao also slapped me on the shoulder a few times, which made me a little baffled.
"Okay, okay, I didn't recruit you to provoke you, why are you beating me." I said, moving my body to the side.
"You idiot, can't you mess with me?" When Qing Yao finished speaking, she realized that what she said was wrong, and then turned around and left.
And I was stunned in place, looking at the back of Qing Yao leaving, I didn't know what to say.
After that, I stayed alone on the roof for a long time before I went back.
The next day, I went to the village chief early in the morning after breakfast, and this time I went to the village chief to bid farewell to the village chief.
"Oops, the king is here." The village chief looked at me and said excitedly.
I smiled and said, "The village chief doesn't need to be polite, I'm here to bid farewell to the village chief." Now that things are settled here, it's time for us to get out of here. ”
"Why is it so fast, the old and young in our village haven't had time to thank the Taoist chief." The village chief grabbed my hand and said.
I smiled: "The village chief doesn't need to be like this, we came to look for you alone, just so as not to alarm the people in the village." ”
"In that case, I don't want to keep a few more. I don't have any money here, but I still have some dry food, so if you don't dislike it, bring it. ”
"Hehe, that's a good feeling." Jiusheng laughed behind him.
Originally, I wanted to excuse myself, but I said it in advance for a long time, so I couldn't say anything.
"Then it's going to be a problem for the village chief." I looked at the village chief and said.
"No trouble, no trouble." The village chief said as he loaded us with dry food.
When the village chief delivered the dry food to me, I thanked the village chief again. After that, the village chief kept sending us out of the village, and he went back.
"Where are we going next?" Hisashi looked at me and asked.
After hearing this, I hesitated: "Let's go north, let's go around." I think when we rush back, they should also go back to Huafeng and Huayue. ”
Hisashi nodded and we headed north.
We hadn't gone far when suddenly I saw a flock of sheep. There was a child not far away, who seemed to be the same child we had met when we first came here.
However, we didn't talk to each other, but chose to walk directly and briskly to the north.
We have been on the road for about half a month, and the relationship between Qingyao and Bai Yuan has also undergone subtle changes along the way. And Jiusheng can be said to eat all the way, as long as there is a place to eat, he will inevitably stop.
On this day, when Jiusheng was on the way, he said in the northwest direction: "Alas? It's not far from my house in a short time. ”
"Your home? Do you still have family? I looked at Hisashi and asked casually.
"Nonsense, I was sent by my Lao Tzu to my master to learn Taoism. It's just that I haven't mentioned them all along, but I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed. Jiusheng shook his head and said.
I knew from looking at Jiusheng's expression that this kid was a little homesick, and he wanted to go back and see the people at home.
"Well, since it's not far from your house, let's go back and have a look. I haven't been back for more than ten years, and your parents must miss you very much. I looked at Hisashi and said.
"But in that case, let's go a little far." Hisashi looked at me and said.
I smiled: "You don't want your mother-in-law's, let's go quickly." ”
