52. Half is fulfillment, half is resentment
Su Shu," Lao Jun closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, "You are so persistent, how can you be good." β
I didn't understand what he meant, and I threw off my sleeves a little angrily, "That pear blossom tree is there, and if you don't have it, why can't you tell me the truth?" β
"Plain book...... You come here. "He told me to come over and talk.
I was stunned, but fortunately my eyes were still bright, and when I looked at it coldly, I found that the hand he was hiding under the dust had already pinched the trick, and the trick was like smoke around his fingertips, blocked by the same ethereal dust, and it was really not easy to distinguish.
This made me really angry. I took two steps back through the wind, pulled out the broken fan and swung it into a sword, holding it across my chest.
"Even if I fight to the death today, I can't allow you to erase my memory of last night!"
Seeing my situation, Lao Jun shook his head in disappointment, "That's it, that's it...... The matter between you and him, even heaven can hardly be decided, how can the old man hide it. After that, he swept away the dust and swept away the tricks on his fingertips, "You come with me." β
But I didn't dare to relax, so I tightened my grip on the hilt of my sword, and waited for him to step three feet ahead before I raised my sword to follow. Even if he was on the way I walked, I didn't dare to relax for half a minute. There are many corridors in Laojun's mansion, and there is a vast fairy mist, I am really afraid that he will kill him, and I am not his opponent.
Finally, they finally stopped in front of a secluded compound. This courtyard is delicate and elegant, but the bamboo outside the courtyard is luxuriant, and the yin and yin bamboo wind blows, accompanied by a rustling sound, which is a little terrifying.
Lao Jun had already opened the lock of the courtyard door, his hand stopped on the copper ring of the door, and before pushing it open, he turned his head and asked me again: "Sushu, do you really want to read it?" β
"Yes."
"What if you were scared when you saw it?"
I put away the fan sword, pinched the handle of the fan and lowered my head and smiled: "Lao Jun, I have experienced two things in my life, the first is Nie Su's cutting of my fish scales, and the second is Nie Su's death. Later, I had some things that I was afraid of, but I would tell myself that I had experienced both of them, and that the rest was nothing. β
Lao Jun sighed, shook his head and pushed the door open.
The scene in the courtyard suddenly came into view, and I was so frightened that I took a step back!
There is a ...... standing upright in the yard!!
A girl carved from pear blossom wood?!
And this girl carved from pear blossom wood has turned into a fairy shape on her upper body, and her clothes are fluttering; But the lower half of the body is still a pear blossom tree, and the bark is dry!
The girl seemed to hear the sound and turned her upper body to look at us. Rao is a face that is incredibly beautiful, but the huge eyes on it blinked, but the eyes were empty and blank. But for some reason, the moment she saw me, the corners of her lips lifted without warning, and then she overflowed a few cold laughs, and then raised her hands to cover her lips, leaving only the cold laughter into my ears.
I clearly saw a snow-white pear petal floating on the back of her hand, the golden stamens were clearly distinguished, but they were also like needles piercing my eyes one by one, telling me to close my eyes and dare not look at them again.
Lao Jun asked me, "Do you know who this is?" β
I shook my head and turned my back, "I don't know who this is. Only yesterday she was still lying in the yard, like an ordinary log; Why is it like this today? β
"This girl is carved out of pear blossom wood...... Lao Jun said.
I set my mind. Suddenly understood something, picked up the fan and knocked on Lao Jun's shoulder not very seriously, and said with a smile: "When did you have this hobby, Lao Jun, specializing in carving beautiful girls?" β
Lao Jun looked grim and waved the dust to sweep away my folding fan, "You are more serious...... It's not a joke with you. This girl will be ...... in the future."
"Who's that?" I threw up the fan, the fan spun in mid-air, I caught it steadily, and my front foot had stepped out of the door, "I thought you were going to tell me to see something, she looks weird now, but this is your hobby, don't say that you want to carve a beautiful girl to accompany you, even if it is to carve a handsome boy, I can't stop you from not." I'll go first......"
ββ¦β¦ What if I say that this girl will be a pear in the future? β
My eyebrows jumped, my steps stopped, and I suddenly turned aroundβ
"You...... Who do you think she is going to be? My eyes were painful, but I was afraid that I had heard it wrong, and my teeth chattered as I heard myself suddenly raise my voice and ask again, "Who did you say she was?!" β
"You really remember Lirong......"
I stepped forward in a panic, grabbed Lao Jun's sleeve, and tried to reason with him, "How could it be her?" She passed away shortly after I arrived at the Divine Mansion, and now I am 180,000 years old, and she has been dead for 180,000 years...... When an immortal dies, he is dead, and he has never heard of reincarnation, and even after the death of an immortal like Nie Su, they all said that it would cease to exist...... How could Rirong still show up? β
Not far away, the corner of the pear blossom tree's lips overflowed with a cold smile. This laughter made my scalp tingle, and I panicked from my heart.
"Sushu," he explained, pulling out two porcelain vases, one white and one black, "and this place holds her soul." β
"Where did you get her soul?!" I was so shocked that I shuddered, "It's been 180,000 years, and you still have her soul?" In other words, you shouldn't be like Nie Su, you like this pear blossom fairy, when you treated her back then, you silently collected her soul, and now that Nie Su is dead, no one will rob you, you will ......"
"Nonsense!" He rebuked me, lifted the whisk and knocked me on the head, glaring, "What a mess you have in your head!" The old man has devoted himself to the Tao for hundreds of thousands of years, and has never been contaminated with red dust. β
"Then why do you ......," I paused, suddenly realizing that something was not quite right, and looked up and asked, "but why is her soul in two bottles?" β
Lao Jun bowed slightly, and said incomprehensibly: "Her soul is half fulfillment, and half is resentment." β
"Can you put it simply, I'm a bit stupid and can't understand ......?"
He stroked his beard, "Let's put it simply, her soul half wants you to taste the mercy and joy of the world, and half wants you to go through the sorrow and exile of Kyushu." β
These words made me tremble, but I felt ridiculous, and I said angrily: "Her soul is so born here, she wants to come back to life, let her come back to life, but his grandmother has a leg, why can this have anything to do with me!" β
Lao Jun: "The foul language you learned from the mortal world, now the more you talk about it, the smoother it becomes......"
I was anxious: "Even if his grandfather has such a leg, this has nothing to do with this god venerable even half a tael!" When she died, I didn't know anything; Why is it that now that she is back, her soul can make me happily ascend to heaven for a while, and make me miserable and go to hell for a while? In this way, in the future, I want to go to heaven and go down to earth and I can't be the master, can I listen to her? β
Without warning, the wood raised its hand to hide its face, and the pear petals on the back of the hand opened and closed, oozing cold and strange laughter.
"Do you know that you are scaring the gods when you laugh like this!"
I lifted the fan, intending to go over to reason with it, but was stopped by Lao Jun: "What are you calling with a piece of wood, she is not a pear now." If it's really Lirong back, when you see her, do you have to go up to fight when your temper comes up? β
"That's not it, I've been jealous of her for many years, everyone fights calmly, and forget my resentment for so many years."
Lao Jun said: "If you hurt her, won't Nie Su blame you?" β
I froze.
If you hurt her, won't Nie Su blame you?
I didn't think about it. Even though Nie Su is no longer here, I know the answer to this question, Nie Su will, he will not see Lirong being injured by me. I forgot, I and Li Rong have never been placed on an equal footing in Nie Su's heart, and Li Rong is the person he puts on the tip of his heart to ache and treasure.
Back then, I only learned about Lirong from Lao Jun's mouth, and when I asked him about this Pear Blossom Immortal, he became angry and drove me out of the Divine Mansion.
He lowered his head and rubbed his sleeves and asked Lao Jun: "If I am injured by her, will Nie Su blame her?" β
Lao Jun hesitated: "This ......"
I know the answer to this question: no.
I raised my head and smiled: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, and the immortal method is strong." She can't beat me. β
"Look, you've got all this to you!" He reacted, took out the two porcelain bottles, one black and one white, and pointed them out to me, "This half of the white bottle has good thoughts, but the half of the black bottle has resentment." But if only half of the soul cannot survive, then the two halves of the soul will be placed on this pear blossom tree, and there is a problem of order. β
"In what order?"
"Let half of the white bottle be sent to the pear blossom tree first, and settle into the heart. The heart is not bad, and although the remaining half of them occasionally cause evil, they will not cause great disasters. You also know this situation, on the eighth day of the ninth month, the moon is on the top, half bright and half cloudy, blending and compating, it is appropriate to come to requiem. You remember to come and help me that day. β
I let out a long sigh, "Okay. If nothing happens, I'll go first. Then he stepped out.
Lao Jun locked the courtyard door, although it was daylight, but the bamboo wind next to him was cold and blowing, and the laughter of the pear blossom tree overflowed from the yard behind him, which made me feel cold on my back, and I was busy and quickened my pace.
Lao Jun caught up and said gently: "Sushu, you asked me why I still have the soul of Lirong at that time." β
"Well, you didn't tell me."
"You're asking me why her soul is relevant to you."
"Well, you didn't explain it."
He waved away the dust to stop me, and said solemnly: "Don't go so fast first, listen to me." β
I paused and looked up, "You say." β
"Lirong was originally a pear blossom tree, and when she died, her soul was all on the pear blossom petals. Do you know about this? β
I scoffed, "Where is this strange thing?" β
Laughing and laughing, he froze, and then heard Lao Jun sigh: "When you were a silverfish, you once ate the petals of Lirong, do you know about this?" β
