In Search of Old Bitter Tears (1)

I flipped through the old books, trying to find the quickest way to get the old bitter tears. In the book "The First Emperor", it is recorded that Ying Zheng once looked for a way to live forever, and I jokingly asked:

"Ying Zheng, were you particularly afraid of old age before, the book says that you have been struggling to find the elixir of life in your later years."

Ying Zheng glanced at me and said:

"You know that history is written by later dynasties, and later dynasties are always denying the former dynasties. So, you don't have to know in a day that you read these books, especially the official history, are all recorded under the supervision of the emperor, and what is written in the books is just what others want to show you. ”

I shrugged helplessly.

"But apart from flipping through the book, I don't know what other clues can be found in the old bitter tears, who do you think is the most afraid of old age."

"Beauty is most afraid of getting old. However, since ancient times, they have a lot of lives, so they will not get old, because they all die before they are old. ”

Yingzheng had a faint regret in his tone, but I couldn't see his regretful expression.

"I think you're talking nonsense, but I don't have proof."

I casually opened a book called "The Tale of Yamato", which recorded a song "Abandon the bright moon on the mountain, and look at it from afar", and I was surprised to see the following annotation.

"Ying Zheng, who told you that reading books is useless, you see that this book records a story that I need. It is said that in the country of Toying, that is, in today's Japan, there is a mountain called Abandon Laoshan, that is, the old people who have no labor force are abandoned on the mountain and left to fend for themselves, which is called worshipping the mountain god. ”

Ying Zheng listened and said disdainfully:

"There is such a ridiculous and ridiculous practice in the world, I can accompany you to see it."

I sighed in my heart, have you done fewer ridiculous and ridiculous things, but I'm embarrassed to wear it in person.

"It's really not easy to make the tyrant Qin Shi Huang angry. I don't know if it's true, but we can go and see. ”

Ying Zheng didn't speak, and I looked through several related books.

"The legend of the grandmother is recorded in the Tale of Yamato, the Tale of the Past and the Present, ballads, and folk tales of the Heian Dynasty (794~1394), which means that the old man was sent to the mountains by his son to die when he was 70 years old."

I decided on the time and place and started planting the seeds.

"Yingzheng, I am not skilled in seed planting, and I only went three years earlier when I went to find Nezha, so we just followed the fate to see where my seeds would germinate. However, with its dark nature, I think this location must be no problem, and it should sprout in the mountain. ”

Ying Zheng glanced at me and said:

"You are really Buddha-natured, no wonder every flower can become a Buddha."

"Are you complimenting me?"

Faced with my shamelessness and skinlessness, Ying Zheng went back to the flower and ignored me.

While waiting for the seeds to sprout, I opened the bar, which had not been open for a long time, and I wondered if there was any business.

I just opened the door and soon ushered in an old acquaintance, Xiaodouzi, that is, Cheng Dieyi. He hurriedly said:

"Echo, I've been looking for you several times, and you're not here."

I didn't want to explain either, so I asked him directly:

"I don't know what Boss Cheng is looking for me?"

His tone was nervous, not at all like the female Jiao'e I knew at the beginning who seemed to have endless sorrow in her eyes.

"Echo, after I came back from my last drink at your bar, a strange flower popped up on my forehead, black, the same flower I used to see at your bar, just different color. I don't know what's going on, but I want to ask you if I'm in trouble. ”

I was taken aback.

"What, you said you saw the black flowers."

He said:

"It's black, but I don't know if it's the other side flower you said."

I remembered the black flower that appeared on Nazha's forehead, and now Xiaodouzi's forehead also appeared, is this a coincidence or something wrong.

"Little Bean, you go back first, and I'll go to you when I figure out what's going on, okay?"

Cheng Dieyi looked at me with an inexplicable feeling in her eyes.

"Echo, are you okay, I'm Cheng Dieyi, not a little bean."

I smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaodouzi is a friend of mine, I suddenly remembered him just now and called your name wrong."

I suddenly remembered that Cheng Dieyi had forgotten Xiaodouzi and everything that had hurt him in the past.

"It's fine. In that case, I will go back first. ”

I nodded and sent Cheng Dieyi away. But the question he said kept me at ease for a long time, and I always felt that something big was going to happen in the future. I won't be able to sleep or eat well for the next few days, so I decided to go to Master and ask about the Black Flower.

When I came to Meng Po Village, Meng Po was still busy every day.

"Meng Po, I'm looking for Master."

Meng Po looked up at me with a smile.

"Your master is in the backyard."

"Well, then Meng Po, you are busy first."

Meng Po nodded, and I walked to the backyard.

"Master, you have seen the black flowers, but they look the same as me and Luo Hua, but the color is different."

Master frowned and said,

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard it. Legend has it that when the flower on the other side turns into a demon, it will be haunted by demonic energy, the mana is boundless, and the flower body is black. Why are you asking this suddenly, could it be that Luo Hua has a problem. ”

I shook my head and explained to Master:

"No, Luo Hua has sealed himself, he will not become a demon, I can feel him. I saw this flower on Nezha's forehead some time ago, and it appeared after I traveled to the past and gave Nezha a a drink. Then the other day, a man who had drunk the wound told me that he also had this flower on his forehead, and I don't know if it had anything to do with the wound. ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons, and it is recorded in the "Huafa Sutra": After the Buddha lectures one day, when the Buddhas enter the meditation, the sky is scattered with four flowers, that is, you and Luo Hua and Tianyu Mandala Hua, Da Manzhu Shahua. You and Luo Hua took root in Bodhi, and then you realized the Dharma and achieved positive results. But Tianyu Mandala Hua and Da Manzhu Shahua were taken to the South China Sea by Guanyin Bodhisattva, I don't know what their situation is, wait for me to see if the black flower has something to do with them. ”

After listening to Master's words, the big stone in my heart also fell a little.

"Okay, then it's hard Master, I'm going to go to Dongying Kingdom to look for Old Bitter Tears in the near future, and I'll come to Master when I come back."

Master nodded, and I said goodbye to Master and Meng Po and went to see Luo Hua. He's still driving so beautifully, but what's the ......

I let out a long sigh, all I can do now is to collect the Seven Bitter Tears as soon as possible and rescue him.

After I returned to the bar, I packed my bags with Yingzheng and set off for Dongying Kingdom.

On the way, I remembered something and asked Yingzheng strangely:

"Ying Zheng, do you know spells?"

"Of course, I'm the First Emperor, what wouldn't? Well, I admit that I have been a ghost for thousands of years, and those who don't want to save their lives have been eaten by hungry ghosts. ”

After listening to him, I was even more strange and asked him:

"Then why don't you help me when you're in Yin Shang?"

"You didn't call me."

I was so angry that my teeth were itching.

"Now I didn't call you out, why did you come out, you give me back to the flowers and stay forever."

Ying Zheng looked at me and said:

"Oh."

And then he really went back to the flowers. I couldn't laugh or cry, I really wondered, did he become stupid or did he always be so stupid, how did he become a generation of emperors.
