159, the gentleman lights the lamp
ο»Ώ
In the second half of the night, Shen Su followed my guidance and came all the way to the thirty-five days, Shen Yu raised fireflies for the sixth senior brother by the spring, the spring water was still abundant, I dipped in the spring water to clean the feathers on my body one by one, and the wounds on the wings, Shen Su also used the spring water to give me a careful cleaning and patiently wrapped. Just after dawn the next day, Shen Su simply dressed up in disguise, hugged me and came to the gate of Qingwei Palace.
At that time, the morning fog will rise, the morning glow has not yet been reflected, and the gate of Qingwei Palace has not yet opened. The palace lamp that has been lit for a night, the candle wax has bottomed out, the wick is already dying, and only the glass lamp is left in the shallow candlelight, and there is still a hazy multicolored halo. I remembered that not long ago, I came back from eating seafood hot pot with Lord Tianzun from Beihai, and it happened that Aunt Su Ran asked for a palace lamp, so I said that I wanted to order it for my aunt. In the end, it was Lord Tianzun who picked up the fire and turned on the palace lights one by one.
The sun is sinking in the west, and the gentleman lights the lamp. Time is vast, and there is a glimmer of joy.
Looking back on this scene, it is really like a world away, a journey of vicissitudes.
Shen Su stood at the door, also raised his head, and quietly looked at the row of glazed palace lamps. I think he must be thinking about Ruri.
It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he told me, "If you see him, be more behaved." He paused for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I don't know why I and Ruri are so concerned about you, you want to come to see him, I am more nervous than you." I want you to meet him smoothly, but subconsciously I want to take you away. β
I was a little stunned by what he said. I stared at him blankly and tried to make it easier for him to speak, but he smiled clearly, stroked my wings and said, "It's all here, I'm just stunned and talking nonsense." β
I nodded and leaned into his arms.
At the beginning of the day, the gate of Qingwei Palace finally opened. The immortal who opened the door was Aunt Su Ran.
The sound of the door opening made me suddenly startle from Shen Su's arms, and when I looked up, I met my aunt's eyes. Now Aunt Su Ran has also lost a lot of weight, with faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she looks much older. Presumably, she has been taking care of Lord Tianzun these days, and she has been living a very hard time. She was also taken aback when she saw me, and when she spoke, her voice was a little angry, no longer the kind and kind appearance of the past: "You also came to Qingwei Palace to send the phoenix?!" β
I stayed in Shen Su's arms, looking at Aunt Su Ran's angry appearance, and didn't dare to move.
Shen Su hugged me and leaned over to bow to Aunt Su Ran, and said politely: "Xiaoxian heard that Lord Tianzun loves the phoenix, so he specially found this feather and looked at the glamorous and beautiful phoenix, hoping to see Lord Tianzun and offer it in person." β
Aunt Su Ran frowned and refused: "Your Excellency has already found a phoenix that is more beautiful than the one in your arms seven days ago, you can take it back." β
After that, he had to call someone to send off the guests.
But...... I haven't seen Lord Tianzun yet, I don't know how his body is, I don't know if he is really about to die as Shen Su inquired, how can I be taken back like this.
I hurriedly jumped out of Shen Su's arms, because my wings couldn't be spread, and my body smashed directly to the ground, I crawled to my aunt's feet, opened my mouth to grasp the corner of her clothes, looked up pitifully and begged her-
Auntie, I'm Liangyu, I'm your beloved Liangyu, don't drive me away.
She pulled the corner of her clothes out of my mouth abruptly, turned her head and said angrily to Shen Su: "Hold it and hurry up!" He didn't look back and walked away.
I was taken aback. Escaping Shen Su's hand to hold me, he chased Aunt Su Ran, and no longer cared about anything else, ran to her and tried to block her way, but my aunt was caught off guard, and her footsteps did not retract, and stepped on me.
In fact, the kick didn't hurt much, but my aunt was startled and hurriedly picked me up, rubbed my back tremblingly and asked, "You...... Are you alright? β
I shook my head and looked at her with teary eyes: Auntie, you don't know that I am Liangyu...... But please, don't drive me away.
My aunt stared at me in a daze for a long time, until Shen Su wanted to take me out of her arms, and then she suddenly tightened her arms and hugged me, and exclaimed, "Oh my God! You look at ...... Why did it make me think of Liangyu! β
This sentence really shone like a bright light on my heart, I held on to her clothes, tears could no longer control the fall, nestled in her arms and nodded desperately, and a wail poured out of my throat: Auntie, I am Liangyu, I am Liangyu...... You're the first god to recognize me, you're the first......
I could feel my aunt's trembling fingertips as she stroked my back, "You...... Are you really a good jade? The aunt suddenly raised her head and stared at Shen Su and asked, "Is she really a good jade?!" β
Shen Su didn't know why, he didn't know who I really was, I hurriedly turned my head and nodded at him, he understood what I meant for a moment, and said to Aunt Su Ran, "It is." β
My aunt couldn't help it for a moment, her cheeks were pressed against me, and tears came out of her eyes and fell on my feathers: "You are still alive, Liangyu, you are still alive......"
I rubbed my wings against her shirt, and even though I couldn't speak, I whimpered and opened my mouth, trying to tell her: Auntie, it's me, I'm here.
I grabbed her placket and pulled it in the direction of Lord Tianzun's wing, and then pointed with my wings, and my aunt understood what I meant, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Lord Tianzun, he ...... He's having a hard time right now...... You'd better not see him yet. β
Very bad?
My aunt looked at Shen Su with a little caution, Shen Su immediately understood, bowed her head and said to me, "I'll go back and take a look at Liuli, how many days will you stay here now...... I'll come to you in a few days. After that, Aunt Su Ran bowed down, took out a crystal jade from his sleeve pocket and offered it respectfully, "I'm tired of God taking care of it." β
Shen Su was moved by this move. He and Liuli lived in a remote place in the fairy world, with simple clothes and simple food, and the thatched hut where he lived was unconsciously gnawed out of a hole. But now he rushed to thirty-five days for a phoenix like me, and took out such a delicate jade with his own hands and presented it, just to ask my aunt to take more care of me.
My aunt naturally refused, and said wistfully: "You don't have to be like this, if it is really a good jade, Su Ran, I will have to bow three times and knock nine times to thank you." β
Shen Su hurriedly said: "The gods don't want to say this, the little phoenix still wants to thank you for taking care of you." After speaking, he glanced down at me, smiled slowly, and even though he had some concern on his face, he still bowed and took his leave.
I don't know ...... this life I still have a chance to see him and a good person like Liuli again.
Aunt Su Ran didn't take me to see Lord Tianzun, but took me to her own room to check on me to see if I was injured. I was a little anxious, jumped out of her arms, and pointed in the direction of Lord Tianzun's wing: Auntie, I want to see Lord Tianzun.
My aunt frowned and looked at me, her eyes growing sad: "I may break your heart if I say this...... But, little phoenix, I'm really not sure if you're a good jade, and I can't let Lord Tianzun touch the phoenix next to me anymore......"
At that time, my aunt was still a little suspicious of me. Yes, since I was 500 years old and turned into a human form, few immortals have seen my phoenix body. My aunt thinks I look like a good jade with my eyes, but if she thinks about it rationally, she will inevitably wonder if I am a good jade after all.
My heart ached, I couldn't turn into a fairy form, I couldn't speak, and it was so difficult for me to prove my identity.
Fortunately, when I turned my head, I saw the rice paper on my aunt's bookcase, and there was ink in the inkstone next to the rice paper. I quickly jumped on the bookcase, and in the stunned aunt Su Ran, I dipped the tips of my wings in ink, and wrote three words crookedly-
"Fennel seedlings".
When Aunt Su Ran saw these three words, she was still trembling and couldn't cry - "Liangyu, really...... It's really you! β
Now I am very glad that when I was young and ignorant, I had the courage to steal fennel seedlings with Meng Ze for 35 days, and I am even more glad that I met my aunt, and with this secret between her and me, I can now tell her: Auntie, I am really a good jade.
"Liangyu...... I really thought you were dead......" my aunt choked up.
I wanted to raise my hand to wipe her tears, but what I lifted was the wings, so I had no choice but to give up. I didn't know how to comfort her, so I lowered my head and gently grabbed her sleeve: Auntie, you wipe your tears.
"But...... Why do you always look at people as metas? You ......," the aunt asked in amazement.
I hesitated for a moment, then once again dipped my wings in ink, and wrote crookedlyβ"powerless to turn back, unable to speak."
My aunt wiped away her tears, but more tears welled up, but she still comforted me: "I'll ...... first I'm going to make you some food first. Then he turned and walked outside the house. I watched her steps with a somewhat unconcealed panic, and her shoulders trembled. It's the first time I've seen Aunt Su Ran so abnormal. In my heart, she is a fairy who is more beautiful and dignified than Guanyin Master, she is gentle and polite, and she stands beautifully. But my aunt also had such a sad time......
I walked around Aunt Su Ran's room, and I really missed Lord Tianzun, so I pushed open the door and walked outside. The sun had already risen, and the weather in June, without the shade of many flowers and trees, was dry and warm for thirty-five days. I walked along to Lord Tianzun's chamber, passing by a small pool, afraid that I would be ugly and dirty, so Tebi washed the wings that had just been stained with ink, and by the way, washed the feathers on my cheeks. I took a picture of the clear pool water, and felt that the phoenix inside was clean and beautiful, so I was relieved to continue walking.
It seems like a long way now. After so many days, I am about to see Lord Tianzun again, and I wonder if he will recognize me like Aunt Su Ran. I don't know if he will be excited to see me again, or if he will be angry with me for jumping off the clouds.
But what I'm most worried about is still the sentence that Shen Suda heard - his health is getting worse and worse, as if he is about to die soon, and he plans to re-elect an immortal from all over the world to succeed him as Tianzun.
So, it's okay to be angry with me, it's okay to scold me, but please don't be in bad health.
But when I made up my mind to open the door of Lord Tianzun's wing room with the top of my head, the scene I saw was far from ...... The way I thought of it.
