Chapter 6. Dream back to mourning

After that day, Luo Xuan became terminally ill and was in a coma for several days. The doctors were helpless because the person they were treating was the most brilliant miracle doctor in the world.

Yizong said to Mei Jiangxue: "If Ling Zun doesn't want to wake up, no one can save him. ”

Just when Mei Jiangxue was on the verge of despair, Luo Xuan woke up.

After waking up, Luo Xuan remembered his experience of traveling to the heavens with his daughter Jiangxue and witnessing the gods exterminating demons in great detail, and he was vivid and vivid, but he heard Jiangxue in horror, until he cried in a dumb voice: "Daddy! You were seriously injured by the mechanism in the Xuanji Stone that day, and I carried you back, what great god, what Nie Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you, Daddy?"

Luo Xuan looked at his daughter's teary eyes, and was silent for a moment.

For several days after that, he wanted to retreat and meditate on Jiangxue Dao, but he sent her to the market to buy rice paper and jade ink. Jiang Xue acted according to her orders, Luo Xuan's desk was always full of inkstone and ink every day, seeing her father painting hard, rubbing ink like rain, day and night, constantly painting, she didn't dare to disturb each other, and she quit silently every time she put down her meal.

In the afternoon of this day, seeing that her father had a rare lunch break, Jiang Xue looked for an opportunity to enter his study, and cleaned it up a little, but saw that the bookcase was full of endless scrolls, all of which were improvised by Luo Xuan in the past few days, Jiang Xue opened them one by one, and saw that each picture scroll was painted with a scene that she had never seen before - the towering Sun and Moon Heavenly Gate, the winding and undulating white jade Great Wall, the hardcover armor of the divine soldier matrix, the long bearded white head Tianweng, and a golden bell in her hand.

She looked at them one by one, and she was fascinated - there was a person in the picture scroll who fell from the sky, he was crowned with a gorgeous shirt, and the emperor was magnificent, but he was magnificent, still the world, as if he came from the infinite heavens. She looked at it, and her eyes moistened.

Although I can't see the faces of the people in the paintings, I always feel familiar, these paintings are vivid and gorgeous, there is no one in the world, but I don't know when my father has been to these places that are like fairyland on earth?

Suddenly, the hand slipped, and the last painting scroll slipped out of the accumulation, Jiangxue bent down to pick it up, and when it was unfolded, a thin piece of paper floated down inside, and there was still the fragrance of new ink on the note, thinking that it was written by my father today.

When she picked them up, she looked at the letterhead and the scroll one by one, and was stunned on the spot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After burying her, I was surprisingly relieved for a while. For a long time, the stone that had been pressed on my heart finally landed, and in the end, with the lowest price, I exchanged for the peace of the martial arts. It's what I've always wanted.

In the first place, this catastrophe started because of me. If I hadn't taken Nie Xiaofeng in and didn't take her with me, I wouldn't have been moved by her appearance, which would have led to a big mistake.

She hates me and blames me, it's all right, I don't blame her. However, it was necessary to treat her like this back then. It's to prevent her from being untamable, pampered and arrogant, and relying on her relationship with me to do whatever she wants. It is certainly shameful for me to make a mistake for a while, but if my mistake causes a resurgence of turmoil in the rivers and lakes, so that she can do evil in my name, it will be even more difficult for me to escape the blame, and the reputation of my teacher will not be guaranteed.

Shaolin abbot Juesheng made the mistake of shielding the demon sect saint Nie Meiniang back then, and I must not make it again. At the beginning, it was because of his reluctance to have a bad relationship with Nie Meiniang that the South China Sea Sword Sect was killed, and his reputation for half of his life was ruined. I have made a big mistake and have no reputation to speak of, but the only thing I can still control is to prevent Xiaofeng from using it as a tool to achieve her goals.

I am not a ruthless person, Xiaofeng's true feelings that night really touched me. But after sobering up, I still can't ignore the fact that she has a deep blood feud, and deep down in her heart she always hates people in the righteous path. So I can't fool myself into thinking that there was no possibility of her words and actions being planned in the slightest that night. Even if she is sincere to me, as long as there is a little intention, this woman must not stay. If this is the case, then her scheming is too cunning and deep, and it is impossible for me, as her teacher, to commit such an unforgivable mistake with her!

Sure enough, the next day, she came to question me, and her attitude was both soft and hard, and she had obviously begun to be disrespectful to me, and the trend of retribution was also looming, and at the end she even shouted "We are obviously not wrong, why do you say that you are wrong". At that moment, I knew her view of good and evil, and I couldn't change it in this life. No matter how hard I tried to educate, she would never know what the right path was, she would never understand that she had taken advantage of my poisoning that night, and she would never feel that she was wrong.

A female disciple took advantage of the strange poison in her master's body to be so closely entangled, such a woman is really a mess of evil obstacles! And I, even more chaotic, actually took her in my arms.

So I had to tell her what she was thinking, "I can't do it in this life." "I am not out of my own fault or out of a moment of negative anger to say this, this is my promise to Lun Chang Gangde and to the people of the world! I can't give her a chance, so that she can fly on the branch and do whatever she wants; second, I can't give myself a chance to fall into lust and ignore the righteous path.

Ailao Mountain is very cold, and cold places will make people crave warmth, and I am no exception. But Xiaofeng's body temperature is a poison that I can't touch again in this life. Not only will she burn herself, but more importantly, after burning, she will step over my corpse to endanger the world, just like back then, Nie Meiniang used Juesheng to cover her to continue killing.

The methods of the Demon Sect have always been in the same vein. Just like back then.

And I, Luo Xuan, must not let such a woman use me as a tool to poison the righteous path! Even if I am hated by Nie Xiaofeng to the bone and let her poison and destroy, I must not let my soul fall into her hands! She is a demon, I am the Tao, even if she occasionally intersects, if she can think of it, it will be regarded as a dream, and I will not care, if she insists on going her own way, tough and greedy, then I have to imprison the desire to be a demon. Because of her demonic nature, her desires will never stop, and I am the initiator of this desire, and I will do my best to control her in my lifetime, no matter what means I use, even if later generations say that I am ruthless and abandon from the beginning.

The more unbearable the heart, the more strict the person must beware of the demons. Everyone has a demon in their hearts, just like the night I was in the ghost of lingering greed. At that time, I was greedy for her intelligence and beauty, for her gentle words, for her appearance and figure, for her dependence on me and for her deep affection. That night, when I got up, my mind was blank, I only thought that she was lonely and helpless, and I only thought that I was indeed her only supporter in this life. She is still young, and she just hugs me, and what will happen if she hugs a man in such a situation, she may or may not understand. But she got my wish. At that moment, she believed in me and was confident. Just for this, I can't bear to be too harsh on her, an untrained girl can do this, whether she has a scheming or not, she needs to pay affection.

However, Nie Xiaofeng can only be a woman who makes my heart move, but can't make me feel distressed. Because she is a demon and I am the Tao, she can only confuse me for a while, but she must not blaspheme me for a lifetime. She will never bow down, she will always fight to break through, and she will fight to the death with me. She is unwilling to be subordinated.

She didn't know that in the confrontation with me, she had won from the beginning. She had succeeded in making such a clear-eyed and infallible miracle doctor Danshi Luo Xuan, a middle-aged man who was her master, but also knew that she was born, knew her nature, and had gone through the world, to leave her in his room on a stormy night. How else does she want to win? How else does she want to humiliate this human path for her mother and her people?

But Nie Xiaofeng is Nie Xiaofeng, she is really not satisfied, she really wants to be with me on this Ailao Mountain, "There are groups of children, and children and grandchildren are full." She also wants to use her own blood and blood to prove her worth to the world, to prove how omnipotent the remnants of the Demon Sect are, to prove that the righteous path of Lun Chang is "a bunch of nonsense" and how vulnerable she is, and to prove that she, as a disciple, can "stay together" with me, a person in the righteous path as a teacher, and grow old!

All her life, she has been fighting for "equality" with me.

"Equality" is precisely the precept that I will never be able to satisfy her.

Because she is a demon and I am the Tao, she is a disciple and I am a teacher. If the Demon Dao is equal, then there is no need for the world to be there, and if the master and apprentice are equal, what kind of chaotic and lawless world will it be?

I could never have imagined what that world would be like.

In the pool of blood, even if she is high and crazy, I would rather die than ignore her. What I want her to see is not only the courage of this righteous path in the world, but also my personal cultivation and perseverance for this path. I want to make her retreat, and let her know that no matter how many days and years pass, she Nie Xiaofeng will never be able to control my Luo Xuan, and she will never be able to step on the righteous path of this world.

Every time the golden lizard is poisoned, I endure it with patience, and at the same time keep telling myself in my heart that this is your retribution, and it is the catastrophe of you and a demon cult remnant and your own evil people who are greedy for pleasure for a night. The only thing that can save your soul again is the Word. Live or die, and you must not deviate from it even a step.

Therefore, I am not obsessed with the "life and death" given by Nie Xiaofeng. For I know that I shall not let her accomplish anything she desires.

So I gritted my teeth and held on until the last minute, until she finally asked me, "Did you like me?"

Like, what a fearless word, after all, only women can think of it.

She is also a woman, even if she reigns over the world and turns the clouds and rain, she is a woman after all. So she still has that kind of question, after she lost to Jiangxue Zhaonan, after she lost her face when her skills were exhausted, when she was desperate and still dying, she came to me and asked me.

She didn't understand who she was asking. There is a kind of man in this world who will never give her the answers she wants. That man is her former master, the righteous path in this world, and it is my Luo Xuan.

She also asked me, the world, and herself for the answer that will never be available.

At that moment, suddenly bitterly sad, for her.

Seeing her old bewitching and old fingers, and her temples were frosty and beautiful, I suddenly felt guilty, and I hope she will never ask.

Because of the same question, I, Luo Xuan, may be able to answer to another woman, at another suitable time and place, but I will never be able to answer to her Nie Xiaofeng today.

The position between us cannot be changed in a lifetime. It's not that I don't want to, I just can't.

"If you could do it all over again, would you change your mind?" she didn't give up.

I listened to the cautious tightness of her voice, and she still seemed to be strong and arrogant. In a trance, she appeared on the Ailao Mountain nineteen years ago, so confident and firm, so determined and tenacious, and she swore not to give up if she did not achieve her goal. It was as if I saw her running out of the door again and again to pick up the torn belt, and the tattered pieces were about to be presented to me, and I had to accept it.

Between me and her, we have always been so incompatible.

Even if you stick to it for a lifetime, it doesn't matter if you have a little more. I don't owe her after all, even if I owe her, I don't owe her. I never disobey my heart.

So, I didn't give an inch until the end, and I still turned my back to her and said, "No." ”

Throughout my life, I will also defend the last line of dignity of the right path in the world in front of her.

The tangram penetrates into the bones, sighs lightly, and has a lifetime. Fishy air currents twitched in the sky. That's when I realized what was happening behind me.

Shocked to look back, her eyes, my steps, I didn't expect her to say "only death can make amends", referring to herself!

She who was shouting at me for blood debt and blood repayment, at that moment, actually referred to herself.

She struggled and said, "Master, my favorite person has always been you. ”

I couldn't bear it, and habitually avoided her last burning eyes, and I couldn't see her like this the most.

It's this kind of look that made me make that "big mistake" to her!

When she leaned over, it was like the last touch of human pain rushing towards me, I couldn't help but say that I stepped forward and hugged her, at that moment, I threw off my crutches, I didn't care about anything, I just couldn't bear to look at her like this, creeping in the dust.

The heart has the bitterness of a silk crack. Half a life of hardship and obsession, invincible to heaven and without relatives. Xiaofeng, why are you suffering?

I know I owe her.

As her head rested on my left shoulder, I suddenly remembered that in the main hall of the villa, she came down from the back of the heavens, twisted her foot pretendedly, and crashed into my arms. At that time, she was filled with the joy of knowing and doing nothing, so euphoric, sly and proud, and pounced on my left shoulder.

After that night, I was unreasonably angry, and I thought that every step she took was deliberate, including twisting her foot, running away, and holding me tight after being poisoned.

But at this moment, I knew that she hadn't lied to me, at least until that night.

Because no one can continue her deception at the last moment of her life.

Because any time her body loses its attachment, the one who chooses to lean on it is the same position.

It's not a casual thing, it's a habit.

I remember when she was a child, I once saw her too tired and sleeping in Nie Meiniang's arms, a pair of small hands clutched her mother's neck, and her little head also fell on her mother's left shoulder.

Left shoulder, mother's position.

I felt her head fall so heavily again, and my heart was empty.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mei Jiangxue carefully folded Luo Xuan's handwritten notebook, put the scroll back into the scroll that copied Nie Xiaofeng in yellow clothes, and then placed the scrolls neatly in their original order, then pushed the door and left the study.

After so many years, she knew that he had never forgotten the karmic relationship between her father and Nie Xiaofeng, but she had always kept it in her heart and never mentioned it.

It's just Nie Xiaofeng, she... Back then, by my father's side, did you have such a time of knowing things and doing nothing, and being innocent?

Mei Jiangxue suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky, the blue sky over Nanke City reflected the white clouds like mountains and seas in her pair of ink-splashed contact lenses.

The afternoon sun was slightly drunk, and she closed her eyes.

"I just want to hear you call me, mother. ”

She woke up as soon as she woke up, but when she opened her eyes, she felt a chill at the corners of her eyes, and she reached out to wipe them away, and a tear had slid down her jade cheeks.
