"Wu Ning ......"

"Huh?"

Wu Zhen whispered: "You say, will my father-in-law change his mind?" ”

"I don't know."

But I knew he would change it, because later Wu Zhen and Wu Ning went to Tujiazhuang and brought his handwritten letter. There, so many unexpected things happened and many people were met......

Wu Zhen smacked his lips twice, and asked again: "By the way, what did you and your father-in-law do when you went to Qiyun Temple last month?" He said that he would come back after two days, but he stayed for more than half a month before coming back. ”

Qiyun Temple?

I still remember Qiyun Temple...... That year, Yan San'er and Shigong together, we passed by the temple on the way back, and took a detour up the mountain to eat a vegetarian meal, and the abbot of the temple was not a layman. Moreover, before leaving, my master also went to him to transcribe a recipe, which I learned later when I returned to Shahu, that the kitchen would make a delicious vegetarian meal from time to time, and not everyone in the village had it, but it was given to me alone.

So how could I forget Qiyun Temple? On the contrary, I remember it all too well.

I didn't say anything, Wu Zhen pulled my sleeve and shook it: "What is there so interesting in that temple?" Is it worth your stay for so long? ”

Looking at her sparkling eyes, eager to learn, I just shook my head.

I don't know if these are real things that happened, or if it's a fantasy that I longed to follow.

Is this witch true?

There has never been a moment when I have so deeply understood the cruel meaning of the two sentences "true is false when it is false" and "I don't know that I am a guest in my dreams". Dreams are the reality of the map, but how much reality is the mapping? Are there any distortion changes? Who knows?

"Don't say it." She broke my hand away.

What flashed in her eyes? Eat one's heart out? Resentment? Maybe I'm wrong.

I probably wouldn't have thought about it that much before...... But there is only a seed of doubt planted in people's hearts, and sooner or later this seed will sprout and grow......

Wu Zhen, did she betray me?

Wu Zhen didn't know where to go, and I stood alone in the silent courtyard.

Maybe it's raining and it's getting hot.

Everything else in life is a small thing. But one is alive and the other is dead, these two things...... Not among them.

In any case, I want to know why I died.

"Miss Ning, Mr. told you to go to the study."

I said yes and moved slowly.

My father was sitting there, and I wanted to see him more, but I was afraid that he would find it weird.

His eyebrows are like green mountains in the mist, the shade is even, the face is handsome, the nose is straight and the lips are thin, and he must have been upside down countless times when he was young. Even if people are middle-aged now, it is still heartbreaking.

He handed over a letter: "You leave the day after tomorrow, and this letter will be handed over to Brother Tu for me." ”

I took the letter, and nothing was written on the cover.

"Remember, listen more, watch more, talk less and do less."

I nodded.

"Why aren't you so happy?" He asked softly.

This dream is different from last time.

Last time I fell asleep with Lei Fang, in the dream the two of us could see each other, talking, holding hands...... And the people who appeared in the dream, such as my master Bai Wan, ignored us.

But this dream is different.

Wu Zhen and my father, they can all see me and talk to me......

I whispered something, but he didn't hear it clearly, and asked with a little doubt, "What did you say?" ”

My voice was raised a little, trembling slightly.

"If I tell you that I am in a dream now, you, Wu Zhen, and this courtyard, these are my dreams...... Can you believe it? ”

His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be able to speak, and just one look at me made my mind strangely soothe and calm down.

I don't know why I asked, but I can't take it back.

He spread out the paper, picked up a pen and wrote a line, looked up at me and smiled indifferently, and whispered, "Come and see." ”

I slowly lifted my legs and walked to the table.

A line of ink on a white paper.

"I don't know if I'm a guest in my dreams."

I didn't expect to see this line here.

My gaze shifted from the paper to his face.

"The world is full of ups and downs, and life is just a big dream. It's also hard to tell who is the person of your dreams. ”

He put down his pen and held out his hand to me.

With some hesitation, I raised my hand and slowly reached over to grasp his palm.

"Look, it's real at the moment, and what you think is real may be a dream. People who practice illusion will always have such doubts over time, and some people are trapped in obstacles, indistinguishable from reality, and even go crazy, and they can't wake up for the rest of their lives. ”

His voice is like a clear spring, flowing through the bottom of people's hearts.

Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, is Zhuang Zhou a butterfly, or a butterfly a butterfly?

The saints and sages couldn't figure this out, how could ordinary people find the answer.

"Whether it's true or not, when you can't tell it with your eyes, you have to tell it with your heart......" He took out a pair of glass jade beads from his sleeve and put them in my hand: "You keep this." ”

"What is this?"

"It's the Illusion Pearl, something your mother left behind. This bead is useless to others, but it is different to those who practice illusion. Look, what's the mystery of this bead? ”

I took a closer look at the pair of beads. The two beads are the size of a pigeon's egg, and they are attached to each other. Gently pluck and slide like two fish. One of these two beads is jade and the other is glass. The jade one is firm and white, but the glazed one is clear and crystalline.

"A void...... One real. ”

He smiled and was very relieved: "Yes, you kid has an extraordinary understanding, I expect you to see it." He picked up the beads and raised them in front of my forehead, and the two beads hung right in front of my eyes, one eye facing the other.

The beads are dripping and wandering, one moment left and right real, and one moment right and left real.

The world in front of me is changing shape, light and dark. This study, as well as the courtyard outside, disappears from time to time...... I felt slightly dizzy and took a half-step back.

"Put it away...... This is a relic of your mother, and it is also a relic of her ancestors, and it cannot be damaged or lost, you know? ”

I picked up the jade beads and couldn't help asking, "My mother...... What kind of person is it? ”

"She's ......," the father laughed, "she is a very elven and eccentric woman, with a good heart and skillful hands. Your temper and temperament are quite like her, but your appearance follows me, otherwise, you can be more handsome. ”

I was about to ask again, when suddenly a dazzling white lightning flashed, reflecting the room in detail, and the thunder rang out, as if it was smashing overhead, shaking people unsteadily, and the window lattices and bookshelves seemed to tremble.

Suddenly, it was pitch black.

I was shocked to see that the room was dark, and the smell of alcohol was faintly permeating my nose.

Next to him, Lei Fang was sleeping deeply, and his breathing was heavier than usual.

I took my nerve and raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead and neck.

Something was hard in my arms. I poked it out, and my whole body froze.

The hand was drawn from the garment, and two beads were held—

One is virtual and one is real, it is the illusion pearl that my father gave me in my dream just now!

I don't know if I can make a second shift tonight. Don't wait, everyone, if it's too late tonight, we'll make up for it tomorrow.
