Chapter 24: The Secret of Snow Butterfly Blue
The man in white glanced at Meng Xiang and said mysteriously, "Snow Butterfly Blue." ”
"Snow butterfly blue?" Meng Xiang asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”
"Snow butterfly blue is a kind of fairy flower that grows at the confluence of the east and west seas in the 'Qiqi' era, the leaves of this flower are snow-white, resembling a peach heart, and the flowers bloom like butterflies, blue as a clear sky.
Each branch grows only one leaf and produces only one flower. The leaves are joined together at first, and when the flowers grow out of the leaves, the leaves open completely and fall off quickly, and when the flowers die, the leaves grow again.
Also known as the 'ruthless flower', this flower leaves fall when they bloom and disappear when they emerge. But this flower has a strange fragrance, and the 'poor qi' liked this fragrance very much, so he made a sachet with blood vines, put the snow butterfly blue in it, and carried it with him. ”
"This flower can take away my pain?"
"Yes, only this flower can. Because Qi Qi has a unique preference for it, even if he transforms into a 'Spirit Bone Divine Wing', he will still be confused by the fragrance of flowers and suppress the demonic fire. ”
"But where am I going to find this flower?" Meng Xiang felt a little lost.
"This flower has long been extinct."
"Extinct?" Meng Xiang was hit hard, and he looked at the man in white, like a clown looking at an audience teasing him.
"If it's extinct, why are you telling me it's useless? It's fun to play me, isn't it? Meng Xiang asked weakly, although the burning of his heart was alleviated a lot, it still made him feel a kind of heart-wrenching pain.
"Although it is extinct, there is still one in the mortal world."
The man in white said seriously to Meng Xiang with his hands behind his back: "Back then, the Queen Mother of the West used a crystal bottle full of magic to collect a snow butterfly blue that happened to bloom and the leaves were spreading, in this crystal bottle, the snow butterfly blue flower will never carve, and the leaves will never fall, so as long as you find this crystal bottle with snow butterfly blue, you don't have to be so painful in the remaining eight reincarnations." ”
"Where am I going?" Meng Xiang bit his lip in pain, he slowly moved back and leaned on the bed and said, "You won't let me find it myself, will you?" ”
The man in white smiled at him and didn't speak, he raised his hand and swiped lightly in the air, a jade butterfly hairpin appeared on his hand, and he blew it with his mouth, and this jade butterfly hairpin fell in front of Meng Xiang.
The hairpin was as white and smooth as mutton fat, and the butterfly on the hairpin head was carved vividly, Meng Xiang looked at it, as if he had seen it somewhere, so kind, he couldn't help but want to touch it with his hands.
"Do you think you've seen it sometime before?" The man in white asked.
"Hmm. It seems to have been seen somewhere. Meng Xiang grabbed his chest with one hand, and slowly picked up the hairpin on his body with the other.
"This is a token given by Wangxia, the seventeenth daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, to a woodcutter in Kunlun Mountain."
"Tokens?" Meng Xiang's eyes had a little more tenderness.
"Yes, token."
The man in white left the ground like a floating cloud under his feet and floated to Meng Xiang's side, he looked at Meng Xiang and kept silent, but he couldn't help but whisper: "This token is related to you, and it is also related to Snow Butterfly Blue." ”
"Something to do with me?"
The man in white nodded and said meaningfully: "'A hundred generations of reincarnation, you must not stay together', this is the curse of the Queen Mother of the West to Wangxia back then.
The Queen Mother of the West lives in the hanging garden on Kunlun Mountain, which is a hanging garden, with a total of nine layers of jade buildings, around the Yao Pond on the left, and the green water on the right, people call it 'Langfeng Garden', when her seventeenth daughter Wangxia was on the ninth floor to guard the glow.
Every day, she can see a young woodcutter on Kunlun, who goes into the mountains to cut wood as soon as the morning sun sets, and carries the firewood he cut down the mountain as soon as the sun sets.
Every time, the young woodcutter would make wishes and sing to the morning and sunset, and all his secrets would be told to these glows.
In this way, Wangxia knew that this woodcutter was called Ge Shuyang, knew that he had a deaf and dumb sister, knew that he had no parents since he was a child, and grew up dependent on his sister, and knew that his sister was now suffering from a strange disease, and he chopped wood every day for money, all to see a doctor for his sister. Wangxia watched Ge Shuyang go up and down the mountain day after day, watching him say these heartfelt words to himself.
One day, Ge Shuyang suddenly said to Xiaguang: 'If you are a woman, you must be beautiful, if I can marry you, even if I become a ghost of hell, I have no regrets.' Then he began to sing a love song to the glow of the sky, and wept when he sang to the depths of his love.
Wangxia looked at this man with deep affection, and her heart was already pounding. Although she knew that if she was tempted by mortals, she would be like her sister Weaver Girl and the Seven Fairies, but she still couldn't control herself, and secretly took the crystal vase containing Snow Butterfly Blue of the Queen Mother of the West to the mortal world to marry the woodcutter Ge Shuyang.
Wangxia used the snow butterfly blue in this bottle to help Ge Shuyang prepare perfumes and spices, and soon Ge Shu's family became a famous incense maker in Kunlun.
This matter was finally known by the Queen Mother of the West, and before she had recovered from the Weaver Girl and the Seven Fairies, Wangxia offended her sensitivity again, and in her anger, she demoted Geshuyang to the 'Poor Qi' clan and suffered from the struggle forever;
And they see each other in every life, but they will not be able to stay together in the world, so that they will suffer from life and death forever. ”
After the man in white said this, he actually left a tear, although he kept that peugeot smile all the time.
He sighed, turned his head to look at Meng Xiang and said, "You are the woodcutter Ge Shuyang, and Bo Xiangyi is Wangxia." ”
Meng Xiang was not surprised, nor sad, he looked at the hairpin and shed a tear that he didn't know what it felt, and the tears slowly melted into the hairpin.
His heart was still burning with fire, but in his mind, he seemed to see Bo Xianyi's crying face, as if he saw Wangxia's heart-rending cry back then.
He slumped on the bed, in addition to the burning pain in his heart, there was a kind of sourness, Meng Xiang's tears flowed down his cheeks, he seemed to suddenly understand why Bo Xiangyi left him back then, his lovesickness for so many years turned out to be destined for life and life.
Meng Xiang curled up together, holding the hairpin in his hand and asked like a gossamer, "Is she still alive now?" ”
"The catastrophe of your parting in this life has not yet arrived, so Bo Shenyi is still alive in the world, you can only find her and get the crystal bottle containing snow butterfly blue in her hand to spend your remaining eight reincarnations."
The man in white sighed, his figure became fainter and fainter, and he said: "Today's people have not seen the ancient times and the moon, and this month has been like the ancients." If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together. ”
That day, he took the bag of candied bitter gourd, glanced at Pan Yang, and asked coldly, "What about Meng Xiang?" ”
"He just said he wasn't feeling well and went home to rest." Pan Yang sat on the stool that Meng Xiang had sat on just now.
"You can go back, I'll just be alone." I opened the bag that day, took out one, and chewed it gently with my mouth.
"Are you so reluctant to see me?" Pan Yang asked with some displeasure.
"You have already taken a woman's child, there is no need to fight her for a man's heart." Said coldly that day.
"That's not my fault, I'm also an innocent victim, you can't blame me for all the faults." Pan Yang endured his anger and said calmly.
"I don't blame you, I just don't want this mistake to continue." That day, he still looked at Pan Yang coldly: "You go back and accompany Xiaoyu more, he needs you more than me." ”
Tears welled up in Pan Yang's eyes, she endured it and didn't let it fall, looking at the cold face that day, she could only silently help prepare the medicine he was going to take that day, pour the cup full of water, and then pack up her things and leave with the door.
Meng Xiang curled up in bed until the evening, the half moon outside the window was exceptionally bright, but no matter how bright it was, it couldn't soothe the pain in Meng Xiang's heart at this time, he was thinking nonsense in a daze, and fell asleep in pain unconsciously.
As the night passed, the branches and forks of the tree turned green.
Meng Xiang opened his eyes as if he was reborn, his eyes seemed to see things more clearly, and he could see the cracks in the corners of the table in the distance.
He tried to stretch his arms and legs, and touched his chest with his hand, but he could not feel the pain of the burning fire, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sit up, when the hosta fell on the bed.
Meng Xiang recalled everything that the man in white told him last night, the woodcutter Ge Shuyang, the seventeenth daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, Wangxia, this incredible story that sounded so illusory in the 21st century, actually happened to him, and even he didn't believe in this story at the moment, but the hairpin that felt so familiar and kind at first glance had to make him perceive all this again.
Maybe he has never really felt it with his heart, from this moment, he needs to do it with his heart, even if it is not for himself, not for the 'poor Qi' clan that he doesn't want to understand, then he should do it for the sake of Bo Xianyi.
This woman has endured the pain of a short life and the pain of parting for him, and he has the responsibility and obligation to let her get real happiness and true love at least in this life, and fight for her to go to the unfair Queen Mother of the West.
Meng Xiang held the hosta in his arms, maybe this would warm Bo Xiangyi, who didn't know where he was.
The doorbell rang twice, Meng Xiang listened carefully, yes, it was the doorbell ringing downstairs, he put the hairpin into his clothes pocket, put on his shoes and went downstairs to open the door.
"Zeng Kefan?"
Meng Xiang opened the door and found Zeng Kefan standing outside, dressed in denim, his short hair after taking off his hat was smooth and shining with a light yellow light, standing at the door and smiling at Meng Xiang's sunshine, looking very energetic.
"Director early." Zeng Kefan scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "Didn't I come a little early?" ”
"Oh no, I'm already up."
"Well, I passed by here in the morning, so I ......."
"Passing by here on a morning jog? Don't you live in the West Side? Why did you get to the East Side? ”
"Oh."
Meng Xiang's question asked Zeng Kefan so much that she didn't know how to answer, just when she didn't know how to answer, Meng Xiang's mobile phone rang, and she hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Director, your mobile phone is ringing, answer the phone quickly." ”
Meng Xiang glanced at her inexplicably, touched his pocket and took out the phone.
"Hey, it's me." Meng Xiang answered the phone, and then the words on the phone made his brows furrow tighter and tighter, and finally yelled: "What? Good! I'll go there right away, and no one is allowed to leave there!! ”
Meng Xiang hung up the phone, turned his head and said to Zeng Kefan: "I have to go out, you go back first, and I'll call you again when I have time." ”
After he finished speaking, he closed the door and was about to go inside, Zeng Kefan blocked the door and said, "Then I'll go with you, maybe I can help you." ”
"It's too late, I need to leave right away." Meng Xiang closed the door and disappeared into the villa in an instant.
"Hey, hey, hey." Zeng Kefan knocked on the door and called for a long time, but no one inside responded, she muttered: "Obviously you just don't want me to go together." She turned her head and watched the villa move out of the yard step by step, found a place at the gate and sat down, and said, "I'm waiting for you, I don't believe you can run without driving." ”
Zeng Kefan sat there looking inside the villa and waited for Meng Xiang to come out, but she didn't know that Meng Xiang had already left here at this time.
