Chapter 53: Dreaming Back Through the Ages
The hustle and bustle of Babel in the middle of the night fades away, and the bustling streets are filled with only a handful of drunks or pedestrians who have just returned from a place where children are not suitable for children.
The concubine's face was drunk, and her body was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. She faltered, her eyes glazed over, and she walked aimlessly through the streets.
The icy mountain wind howled by, bringing a biting chill and the sound of a hunt blowing her cloak.
Concubine Xuan didn't know where she should go or where to stay. She drunkenly walked through one lonely street after another, only to feel that the road was so long and so cold tonight.
There was no one on the road, only the sporadic lights that stretched the shadows to the point of deformation.
I don't know how long it has been, and I don't know how far she has come. The lights on the side of the road faded away, and even the starlight in the sky was gone. The concubine leaned against the cold wall and vomited at the dark corner.
At this moment, an old and peaceful voice suddenly sounded: "Wine is a thing that hurts the body and the mind, you can't think about anything, you have to torture yourself like this." ”
The concubine wiped the stains from the corners of her mouth, and followed the prestige with drunken eyes.
But at the corner of the street, I don't know when there was a small vendor. The woman was dressed in an ordinary pale cyan pleated skirt, and her appearance was quite beautiful. She has a serene and compassionate expression, with obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
The woman looked at Concubine Xuan gently, and her loving eyes made her a little distracted, and she murmured, "Master." ”
The master concubine muttered, and only then did she come back to her senses, and the person in front of her was not the master. She looked at the woman's peaceful face, showed an apologetic smile, and sighed: "I'm sorry, the concubine is out of shape for a while, please forgive me." ”
The woman shook her head slightly, and said gently: "It's okay to be drunk, you can forget all your troubles when you're drunk." ”
The concubine staggered to the woman's stall, lay on the table weakly, and said bitterly: "It would be nice if I could really forget." ”
If you can really forget, forget all the sufferings you have had, forget the incomprehension and ridicule of the world, forget all the unhappiness that has happened, even if you are drunk.
However, why did I not forget it, but became more irritable? The concubine showed a touch of self-deprecation, as well as a little sigh and sadness.
The woman smiled and said, "Although the old man does not know what the girl is worried about, he knows that there is never a perfect life. A hundred years of life for mortals is like a babbling stream, and life is everywhere it passes. There may be suffering, but the scenery on both sides of the strait will give people a different feeling. It is a pity that most people can only see their own suffering, but they cannot see the magnificent scenery on both sides of the strait. ”
Shi Fei Xuan looked at the woman's peaceful face, only to feel inexplicably very kind, and her mood couldn't help but relax a lot. She seemed to be venting the depression in her heart, and as if she just wanted to find someone to talk to, she said the doubts in the tick bar.
The woman raised her sleeves to hide her face and chuckled: "The old man thought that the girl was worried about something, but it turned out that this was the case. Speaking of this person, how much does the girl know? ”
Concubine Xuan recalled the time she had spent with Mo Chen, and her eyes were a little more dazed. Although the two have been together for several months, she has to admit that she has never looked through each other.
She didn't know Mo Chen's identity, Mo Chen's age, and his past. For Shi Feixuan, it was a deep fog, a fog that could never touch the border.
Concubine Xuan was silent for a moment, and said bitterly: "I don't know." ”
The woman was speechless and continued to ask, "Then do you know why he went from a notorious evil emperor to a generation of grandmasters praised by people and the object of admiration of countless people in just one day. ”
The senior concubine frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "Because he is the first Terran Grandmaster in history to let the demon clan treat each other with the highest courtesy?" ”
Although Shi Feixuan knew the reason for the change, she was always a little puzzled. Just being greeted with the highest etiquette of the Baiyue Demon Clan can make people's attitudes change so much?
The woman shook her head slightly, without explaining much, and asked again, "Do you hate him?" ”
The concubine was silent for a moment, and said firmly: "Hate, when I was first taken captive, I couldn't wait to cut him with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart." Later, I saw countless fellow Daoists dying because of their concubines, and I couldn't wait to break his bones and scatter ashes to comfort the souls of many fellow Daoists in the sky. In the end, he saw his terrifying strength that was almost invincible in the world in the Jingnian Monastery, and wanted to die with him to eliminate demons in the world. ”
If there is no him, he would still be the saint of Cihang Jingzhai and a fairy in the eyes of countless heroes.
But now, the reputation of Cihang Jingzhai for hundreds of years, the inheritance of Jingnian Monastery for hundreds of years, and everything he once had, can never go back to the past.
The woman poured two cups of tea and continued, "Do you still want to kill him now?" ”
The concubine took a sip of tea, stared at the void in distraction, and was speechless for a long time. She was silent for a while, and said blankly: "I, I don't know." ”
If he is the evil emperor who is spurned by everyone, and he fights for the last thing to kill him, he can still say that he will sacrifice his life and remove a great scourge for the world.
But now he has become a peerless powerhouse admired by everyone, and a generation of great masters of the human race admired by countless people. Even if you can kill him, what is it?
Concubine Xuan didn't know, and she couldn't figure it out. She didn't even know what the purpose of her existence was!
The woman took a sip of tea and smiled, "This tea is called a dream through the ages." ”
A dream through the ages?
The concubine looked at the woman suspiciously, feeling that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the other party. I don't know why she suddenly mentioned tea, and why is this tea called a dream for the ages.
The woman didn't seem to see the doubts of the concubine, and smiled flatly: "A dream for eternity, a big dream for a thousand years." After drinking this tea, you can dream back to the ages and see the countless secrets that have disappeared in the long river of history. There, you'll be able to solve all your doubts and get the answers you want. ”
Although Shi Feixuan was already in a half-drunk state, she couldn't help but show a funny look when she heard the woman's words.
Dream back to eternity!?
I'm afraid that the legendary immortal god mansion can't do such an incredible thing, right!?
She knelt on the table and laughed: "What about dreaming back to the ages, what about seeing all the secrets of the past, can you still change history?" ”
The corners of the woman's mouth curled slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and asked rhetorically, "Perhaps, you can try!" ”
Concubine Xuan's expression was slightly stunned, looking at the woman's mysterious smile, her heart suddenly jumped. She was about to say something, but suddenly she felt the scene in front of her begin to blur, and her mind became heavy and tired.
The bitter mountain wind whistled by, making the sound of ghosts crying and howling, and in the narrow alleys, there was no place for the previous stalls, and only a charming woman stood in the shadows.
She took a deep look in the direction of the Demon King's Palace, then glanced at the empty void in front of her, and chuckled, "Mo Chen, have you ever been ready to accept the gift of the deity?" ”
