"Ayu, I want to tell you a story, would you like to hear it?" Meng Ze asked.

The night is as cool as water, and the water melts into the night. The painting boat floats freely, and the lotus lantern outside the boat is half bright and half off.

"You just talk about it." I say.

He poured wine over and over again, recalling: "When I was young, I picked up a phoenix. ”

The glass in my hand flickered.

"I've never eaten phoenix meat. At first, I brought it back to the Xuanluo Palace, but I actually wanted to eat it. You may not remember. When I first took her back to Xuanluo Palace, she was actually only the size of a palm. I think I should raise it and eat it when I get fat. He looked at the pane of the Chinese characters, his smile was bright, his eyes were bright, as if he remembered that incident, and his mood suddenly brightened, "But, it is very edible." At that time, the attendants of the Xuanluo Palace were very worried, and asked me timidly, young master, what can I do if it can eat like this? It seems to be worth more than it eats.

"But, Ayu, every time it squats quietly in my palm and eats quietly, what comes from its hand to my heart is satisfaction and joy. Even though it's very edible, I still want to keep it. Before, there had never been anything other than a fight that had attracted me so much and made me so happy.

"Its feathers are colorful, soft and smooth, and very beautiful, and occasionally I will take it outside the Xuanluo Palace to bask in the sun, when the sun shines on, and its whole little body shines brightly. It lies in the palm of my hand, in fact, in addition to eating or sleeping, rubbing me when it is comfortable, occasionally raising its eyelids to look at me, its eyes when looking at me, in fact, are not as surprised as when you see what you eat, but you may not know that its eyes are exquisite, even if you are tired of looking at you, you feel happy in your heart. ”

He didn't look at me, he kept looking out the window, the wine glass tilted, the sake all fell into his mouth, and for a moment, I almost felt like a little phoenix again, and I used to stay by his side like this, and when I raised my eyes, I saw his beautiful side face comparable to that of a woman.

"But I lost it later, and I still remember that when I took her out for a walk with her fat man, and I was lying in the grass, and she was beside me with her little paws stepping on the dog's tail grass, and when she saw the grasshopper, she went to chase it. But at that time, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I couldn't find it. I have been looking for a long time, and I have passed by the Great Brahma Hall of Monks, but I have never seen a small phoenix. He finally turned around, his eyes moistened, and his voice was cool, "Ayu, do you know which phoenix I'm talking about?" ”

Which phoenix.

I don't know why I'm still remembering what happened so long ago. But the sentences of the past suddenly came to my mind.

Who is smiling and bright: "Who told you to eat it now." ”

Who pinched his wings and thought for a moment: "It's too small to eat now, it's really not enough to stuff your teeth." When I raise it, when it grows fat, it will be split in half, half steamed, and half boiled. ”

Who coerced Li Yin and deliberately threatened: "If you don't eat, I will eat you tonight, and the less meat you eat, the more fragrant it is." ”

Who is the eyebrows flying, joking and disturbing: "Look! It's not just me who thinks you can eat it, they think you can eat it! ”

Who is melancholy in his heart, with a gentle palm: "If you eat my hand again, I won't be able to hold you." ”

Who is handsome and handsome: "Have you seen it?" Isn't my fist extremely chic! ”

After such a long time, he remembered the original scene, and he was still there. He's been there.

Back in time 50,000 years, at that time, he was still the person I wanted to marry, he rescued me from the fire, and he did not hesitate to fight against his body. But 20,000 years ago, when I fell unsteadily down from the treetops on the Jiuli Xianghua Tree, he said to me because I didn't have half a heart: "But Benjun doesn't want to marry you." ”

I poured a glass of wine, and when I looked up at him, I couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect Xuanjun to raise a phoenix when he was young, this is really an interesting thing." It's just that Liangyu has been staying in the Great Fanyin Hall since I didn't have all the hairy feathers on my body, growing up next to my master and senior brother, and I have never been lost. So, I don't know which phoenix you picked up. ”

The wine glass in his hand was not held steady, and suddenly it rolled from his palm to his shirt, and the wine spilled out.

I couldn't bear it for a moment, but that's what I said at that time, and I told him in person, and I lied without even blinking my eyelids—"So, I don't know which phoenix you picked up." ”

He didn't pick up the glass, and when he looked at me sideways, his eyes were still bright with a smile, "If you don't know, forget it, Ayu." He paused and then said, "Probably, it's just a dream I've had for tens of thousands of years." ”

That night, Meng Ze asked me to come out, and the post was written with the words "A drunk party, mutual enmity".

But neither he nor I was drunk. When I went to pick up another jar of wine, his hand reached over and tried to hold me, but he only touched it and then retracted it, "Ayu, just drink it here." You're not in good health and can't drink too much anymore. He said.

I thought about it for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Okay, then let's drink it here." ”

When I went back, the Milky Way traversed the sky, from ancient times to the present, the bright stars fell and reborn, and the Milky Way never dried up. Meng Ze walked in front of me, in a water-colored silk coat, with a long figure. Thousands of silver starlight all fell on his long hair, and it was the appearance of three thousand green silks dyed with white frost, white hair, and a white head for a moment.

This wine, drunk this god, really a little heartache.

Thirty-five days after I returned, it was the evening, and Aunt Su Ran cooked me porridge for the night, and when she handed it to me, she gave me a warm hand stove. I asked her where Lord Tianzun had gone, and my aunt said that he had something to do and might not come back until midnight, and when she left, she told me to sleep first without waiting for him.

I drank the porridge and tossed and turned for a long time, but I couldn't sleep. When I turned around, I saw the chubby little ball of meat carved on the jade screen.

This Shenjun really thinks it's a little ugly, carved on such a good screen, and this piece of jade is blind in vain. When I think about it, I seem to feel strange every time I see it, but I rarely seem to ask why Changjue Tianzun carved such a ball of meat on it. I stared at it for a long time, and suddenly it was a little familiar, as if it had been there for a time, for a time, far, far away.

Looking at it like this, I fell asleep.

In my dream, I unexpectedly dreamed of a ball of meat.

But what made me very sad was that that ugly and miserable ball of flesh turned out to be Ben Shenjun himself.

I was lying in the palm of my hand, which was slightly different from Meng Ze's palm. His palms are cool and smooth, with a refreshing aroma, which is very comfortable. But I was ugly, and he thought I was ugly.

I couldn't stand him laughing at me at first, but he was going to say those things to laugh at me.

For example: "If you eat less and eat a fat ball, won't it be uglier." ”

For example: "Come, take a turn, show me the ugliness." ”

But I am very attached to the palm of his hand. In the dream, I raised my eyes faintly, but I could only see his frost-colored clothes and ink-colored hair clearly, and I couldn't see his face clearly.

I know, he thinks I'm ugly. I know, he doesn't like me.

He asked me to turn around and show him the ugly, and I turned around to show him. It's good if he's happy.

But I never imagined that one day, he wouldn't even say anything more about letting me be ugly to show him. I didn't even expect that he would be ruthless and give me to someone else.

I whimpered and tried to cry to him, but he stopped listening to me. He pinched me into the sunlight and cut off the feathers I grew one by one, without even hesitating. I also resisted, twisted my body and flapped my wings to stop him, but he pressed me in the palm of his hand, and still cut off my hairiness, and finally only a lonely handful was left on my forehead, and the breeze blew, and the sparse hairiness that was cut off was sparsely swept away by the wind.

On the second day, he took me in his arms and went far, far away.

"You have to be obedient, he is a good-hearted immortal, and he is also a capable Buddha. If you follow him and become his disciple, no one will bully you in the future. He said.

But I don't want to pay attention to him. Lying on his palm, he was so sad that he didn't even want to lift his head.

"However, although you must be obedient, you should not wronged yourself, when you are hungry, you will ask him for food, and when you are sleepy, you will lie down on your stomach to sleep, if your senior brothers bully you, you will run to complain to him." He said again.

But I still don't want to pay attention to him.

"You have to work hard, follow him and practice hard, and if you want to do any priesthood in the future, you can come to me." He said to himself, suddenly remembered something, and smiled clearly, "I think you should replace the old man who is in charge of marriage, after all these years, he still wants to find a daughter-in-law for me and give me a marriage, I really feel a little annoyed." In this way, when you grow up, as long as you are not too poor, I will make the decision to let you take on the marriage of the god king. ”

Although I didn't want to hear him at all, I found that he had said more than ever when he saw me off that day. At that time, I didn't know what the marriage god was, and I didn't know what kind of priesthood I would be able to hold in the future.

It wasn't until later, when I met him after I was 20,000 years old, that with my own ability and God's favor, I went all the way to the position of the god of marriage. I still remember that at that time, above the surface of the North Sea, it coincided with the grand scene of thousands of miles of ice disappearing, the vast water, the clouds were spreading, and the boy with frost clothes and black hair came, I couldn't see his face clearly, and I didn't feel that the voice was familiar. Half of the jar of wine was poured, the air was slightly drunk and damp, he looked down at the clouds and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?" ”
