Chapter 12: Their Respective Loves
Bai Ling felt three question marks slowly floating above his head.
ββ¦β¦ If you become a Daogu, don't you have to marry someone again? β
"It depends on which one you cultivate," Bai Yi said, "For example, the Xuanqing sect on the west bank of Anhu Lake, female disciples can only start thinking about marriage at least sixteen years old after they get started. β
"Eh, is that so?" Bai Ling's eyes lit up slightly, "If that's the case, it means that the problem for the next five years will be solved in one fell swoop......"
Bai Yi nodded, "Yes, they are a woman, and the death rule in the view is that disciples under the age of sixteen are not allowed to marry, but even if they are sixteen years old, there is still room to turn around." For example, there is a county lord of Yining, who has refused several marriages from Emperor Jianxi over the years under the pretext of cultivation, and he has not married anyone in his forties. β
"That feeling can be ......considered," said Bai Ling, who suddenly seemed to remember something, "But in that case, do you have to live in the meditation and practice?" β
"Well, of course." Bai Yi said, "So we are not in a hurry at this time, during this time, we can first go to the temple to find a way, understand and understand, in case we need it in the future." β
Bai Ling sighed.
She doesn't want to get married early, but it's too miserable to go to penance in order not to marry.
"You can find out first, but let's talk about the specific implementation," Bai Ling scratched his head, "What if I suddenly meet someone I like one day, and I can't get married when I want to, then it's not troublesome." β
Bai Yi only thought of this layer at this time, but after a change of thought, he hesitated, "But even if you meet someone you like, you will get married before sixteen...... Seems a little too early? β
"It's a little, I didn't get married in my last life at twenty-six." Speaking of this, Bai Ling suddenly looked at Bai Yi, "Have you ever been married?" β
Bai Yi also looked at her, leaned back in the chair slightly, "I'm a doctor, and I'm a Ph.D., what do you say?" β
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and asked after a long time, "So...... Are you so busy that you don't even have to talk about love? β
"I don't have time after work." Bai Yi replied, "There were two periods when I was a student, but I didn't go to the end. β
Bai Ling looked at him with some curiosity, "Why did you break up?" β
"The first time was when I was young and didn't understand a lot of things...... Later, I encountered an accident at home. Bai Yi repeated it again, and then he couldn't help laughing, "You can't just be together for a few months, and let your girlfriend go home with me and take care of the children with me." β
Bai Ling thought for a while, and said tentatively, "It's a different place, and then you broke up?" β
"Hmm."
"Sounds like a pity......"
Bai Yi smiled faintly, "It's a pity, the past is all gone." β
After another moment, he looked up, "What about you?" β
Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, "I have talked about it, but it didn't last long, and each paragraph may end in two or three months." It's not easy to get along with someone for a long time and intimately. β
Bai Yi was a little surprised, "...... you?" β
"Isn't it strange," said Bai Ling with a smile, "can't you be sick as doctors?" β
"But at least...... You will consciously reduce the safety risks in your life," Bai Yi replied thoughtfully, "If you know the nature of the disease yourself, there is a way to avoid it." β
"Problems in intimate relationships should be difficult to avoid on your own." Bai Ling said softly, "Because even if your own logic is in contradiction, it has long become self-consistent in many years of life, and it is difficult to find the problem without an external vision in it." So a lot of people can easily fall in the same place and always make the same mistakes. β
Bai Yi sat up straight, "Eh...... I want to hear it. β
Bai Ling looked at him, "What do you want to hear?" β
"I want to hear why people always fall in the same place."
Bai Ling let out a long "hmm...... and scratched his forehead with a deep groan, "I want to think about it......"
After a while, she suddenly clenched her right hand into a fist and slapped it lightly on the palm of her left hand, "Have you heard the story of Bluebeard?" β
ββ¦β¦ Bluebeard," Bai Yi thought for a moment, "fairy tale?" β
"Yes, fairy tales."
"I'm a little impressed, but I can't remember." Bai Yi said, "Tell me? β
"The story is about a merchant with a blue beard who lived alone in a palatial castle."
Bai Ling whispered.
"One day, Bluebeard was on his way back to the castle and passed through a village. A maiden passed by his horse, and he fell in love with the maiden at first sight, so Bluebeard went to the maiden's house and told her three brothers that he wanted to marry the maiden.
The three brothers agreed to the marriage, and the maiden returned to his castle with Bluebeard. In the first few days, the two of them had a very sweet time, and Bluebeard took her around every room of the castle, sharing everything about himself with her.
"Until one day, Bluebeard was going out again, and before leaving, he called his wife to his side and handed her a bunch of keys, and Bluebeard said to her, 'Everything in this castle belongs to you, and you can wander alone with these keys, but there is only one thing, and you must be ......very careful.'"
Bai Ling said, pinched something out of thin air, and stretched it out in front of Bai Yi's eyes.
Bai Yi looked at Bai Ling's hand a little blankly, and then looked at Bai Ling's eyes.
Bai Ling's expression became gloomy, and she said in a gloomy and stern tone like a bluebeard, "'This little golden key can open the room in the attic, and that place, you have to promise me, never to enter it.'" ββ
Bai Yi laughed, "...... So then the wife must have gone in. β
"Yes." Bai Ling laughed too, and returned to her previous gentle calm, and she said softly, "After Bluebeard left, my wife first obeyed the agreement and lived alone in the castle, and she went through every room here by herself, and pushed open every window, but as the days passed, she became more and more curious about the scene in the attic.
"What's in the attic? My wife thinks about it every day. Once curiosity is aroused, it must be filled with truth. So one afternoon, the wife plucked up her courage and took the little golden key and went up to the attic......"
I don't know if the moonlight tonight is too good, or Bai Ling's narration is too appetizing, Bai Yi involuntarily held his breath.
ββ¦β¦ In the darkness, the wife pushed the door open, and an unspeakable stench came over her face, and she took a few steps inside, her eyes finally adjusting to the darkness. It was then that she saw corpses nailed to the wallsβthey were Bluebeard's ex-wives, each of whom had gone into the attic without heeding advice. β
