090. One and a half stories
I just felt like there were countless artillery battles exploding together in my head, and the serial sound made my ears ring.
I shook my head and continued to ask if you could tell me more about this life-changing spell.
The little spear shook his head, saying that Nameless had just mentioned it to him at the time, and he didn't know much more about it.
The origin, steps, effects, and consequences of this spell...... I'm afraid that I can only find out if I ask the nameless person.
I reached out and grabbed my hair, feeling frustrated.
"Then according to what you mean, that Mei, since you can have such means...... Then she's a fairy? Xiao Xiyue asked.
I shook my head and said not exactly.
Xiao Xiyue also wanted to ask me for a more detailed explanation, but she stopped talking again, and she also thought that I couldn't explain the situation in too much detail because of Chen Da Radish's admonition before.
"It doesn't matter, you go on, tell me everything about Mei's origin and situation, and we will make our own judgment." Said the little sharpshooter.
I nodded and continued.
There really isn't much to say about Mei as a person.
At least in the years she has lived in our Tashan Village, she has not shown any signs of abnormality.
Even though she has quite a great ability, her origin is extremely mysterious.
But she is such a person who has no joys and sorrows, and naturally she will not say anything about herself.
Even my closest friend to her has never really understood her.
There are only two stories about her origin that Mei revealed to me personally.
It can't be said that there are two stories, because there is one, and Mei only tells half of it.
So it can only be counted as a story and a half.
The story that Mei finished telling, called "A Smile Allures the City", was told to me when I was boiling sugar and working.
It's not the story of King Zhou You's Beacon Fire Drama Princes, Bo Bao smiled.
It's a tragic love story I've never heard before, and I still remember it vividly.
Yes, not poignant.
It's miserable.
The story is very simple and very cliché, saying that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a woman was born with an extremely ugly face and a tiger waist.
How ugly is it?
It's probably the kind of ugliness that no one dares to marry.
The woman has also suffered a lot of white eyes and injuries because of her ugly appearance.
One day, the woman was walking down the street, surrounded and ridiculed, and then ran home in grief and complained to her parents that she had been stabbed too many times because of her ugly appearance.
But the woman's parents and the woman's younger brother, instead of comforting the woman, also spoke ill of the woman, saying that the people in the family were very good-looking, but she was so ugly and disgusting, it was really a shame for the family!
The woman was completely desperate and didn't want to continue to live, so she ran out of the house that night, intending to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river.
But when the woman ran to the river, she was shocked to find that the whole river had disappeared, and in its place was an incomparably majestic city.
The city is brightly lit, full of people, and extremely lively.
The woman walked into the city, looked at the bustling scene in the city, and thought of what happened to her, and her heart was even more dead.
Just because he was born ugly, he can't embrace such a beautiful world.
The woman turned her head and saw that on the street in front of her, there were several jugglers performing monkey shows, and the little monkey was very funny and cute, and immediately made the woman laugh.
"This girl, you smile so beautifully." A voice suddenly rang out.
The woman's eyes widened in astonishment, and it was a man in a white shirt who said this.
The man's angular face was unusually handsome, and he didn't look like a commoner, like the son of a rich family.
And the man introduced himself, his name was Long Li, and he was the lord of this city.
Long Li asked the woman, he was honored to be able to take the woman around the city.
The woman almost couldn't believe that it was the first time she had been invited by a man, and she was still such a handsome son.
The woman was naturally shy to agree.
After that, Long Li took the woman to see the prosperity of the city, and the woman was very happy, and she forgot the thoughts of suicide before.
At dawn, Long Li sent the woman out of the city and made an appointment with her to meet again the next night.
The woman happily returned home, this time, even her parents and younger brother sarcastically scolded her, but the woman turned a deaf ear, only thinking about meeting with Long Li tomorrow.
For the next three consecutive days, the woman and Long Li were dating together in the city, and the two gradually fell in love and gradually made a private decision for life.
But the woman always has a pimple in her heart, and she always feels that her dignity is not worthy of Long Li.
One day, during the day, the woman went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva.
The woman looked at the face of the Bodhisattva and pleaded silently in her heart, hoping that the Bodhisattva could make herself more beautiful.
Don't ask for the gentle and noble face of the Bodhisattva, as long as you look at the past a little, you won't be disgusted by Long Li's parents and family, just do it.
But at this time, the woman saw that the Bodhisattva's mud face really bloomed with a smile, and that smile was very weird and penetrating.
The woman exclaimed, even if she really wanted to ask the Bodhisattva, but when the Bodhisattva really appeared, she must still be frightened.
The Bodhisattva tells the woman that she can fulfill the woman's wishes, but the Bodhisattva gives people a wish, and there is a price, and it must be exchanged for the most precious thing that the person has.
The woman didn't know what the most precious thing she had, and the Bodhisattva said that she would not tell the woman if she took it.
But at the moment, the woman just wanted Long Li to see a more beautiful self, so she immediately agreed.
Immediately, the woman slowly fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she really found that she had a face that had captivated the country and the city.
That night, the woman happily ran to find Long Li, Long Li saw that the woman had become more beautiful, first shocked, after confirming that it was the woman herself, she was also very happy, and the two of them immediately prepared for Zhang Luo's wedding, and they were no longer separated.
I heard this at the time, and I thought it wasn't great? A perfect ending.
But Mei said that the story is not finished yet, and the next thing is where the turning point will be.
Three days later, Long Li and the woman both died and passed away, and their wedding was not ushered in.
Because the price of a woman's beauty is to give her most precious things.
And for the ugly poor girl who has nothing, the only thing she has, the most precious thing, is her life.
"What about Long Li? How did Long Li die? I asked.
Mei told me that because Long Li was just a poor boy who lived by the river, he had no money and no power.
Long Li saw several times that the ugly woman, after being ostracized and hurt by the people, hid by the river and cried.
Even if she was badly spoken of because she was ugly, the woman still did not resent and curse those people, but begged God to free her fate.
Otherwise, if she continues like this, because she has been hurt so much, she will become the kind of person who hurts others with resentment, and she is also the kind of person that a woman wants to be.
Long Li was moved by the woman's kindness, fell in love with her, and wanted to save her from the sea of suffering.
But Long Li is also a poor boy with nothing.
He wanted to let the woman experience at least one day of happiness, and see enough of the prosperity in this world, which she had never seen.
Long Li also went to the Bodhisattva temple and begged the Bodhisattva to give him a prosperous city.
The Bodhisattva also agreed, and the price was the same as the price of making the woman beautiful, taking away the most precious thing that Long Li had.
And Long Li, this poor boy with no money, no power, and nothing, the most precious thing is his life.
The two of them just enjoyed the beauty of those days, and after that, they both left this world without a marriage ceremony.
So, this is a tragic story.
Two people who have nothing and are not treated well by this world give up their lives in order to embrace each other.
Just to hold hands and take a walk in this bustling city.
After I heard this story, my whole body cried into tears.
Why be so cruel?
The story ends when the two of them live happily together, isn't it okay?
That bodhisattva is a demon, right? Why take the lives of both of them? Aren't all bodhisattvas compassionate?
I've never heard of a love story, and in those days, Tashan Village was so remote, and in the TV series, there was no too profound description of love.
Even though the story was so cliché, it was so shocking to me at the time that it almost tore my soul apart.
And what shocked me even more was more than that.
May smiled and told me that this was not a made-up story.
This story of "a smile captivating" is a true thing, and Mei herself has experienced it.
I was stunned, Mei is a witness? Is she the ugly girl?
May shook her head and said no.
"Then you are the woman's family? Or is it Longli? "I was amazed.
Mei still shook her head, saying that it was neither.
I'm at a loss, aren't these the only characters in the story?
Mei just smiled and told me the second story.
Although this story was only half cut, it scared me out of my sleep for days.
It's the scariest story I've ever heard growing up.
The name of the story is "The Demon Woman". ()
