Chapter 102: The Lonely Grave of the Mountain Stream
There is a bright stream in the mountain behind Qingyunguan, and the stream is like a streamer full of flashes, gathering in a bay of blue pools, like a vat of thick wine. The blue pond is in the mountain stream, surrounded by greenery and the sun, and occasionally the mountain breeze is mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, which is cool and leisurely.
Another breeze blew, Sun Yingxue looked at the fluctuating water surface and threw a small pebble, playing happily. Shoujing saw the splash of water in his sideways eyes, and whispered, "Go faster!" ”
"Oh!" Sun Yingxue quickened her pace and caught up: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, what kind of place is this?" It's a wonderland on earth. ”
"Cemetery." He replied in a flat tone.
Belch...... Sun Yingxue's smile stiffened, and she hurriedly rushed to his side, and laughed: "Dao Chief, you lied to me, why didn't I see the tombstone?" ”
"I'll see you soon!"
“......”
Sun Yingxue looked around vigilantly, how could such a beautiful place not be associated with the cemetery. Shou Jing glanced coldly at the bushes beside him, and a mountain ghost was peeking at them under the shade of the lush trees.
Sun Yingxue looked around unconsciously, and the green light in the mountain ghost's eyes flashed, thinking that it was another living person brought to him by Shoujing for him to suck. Excited for a moment, it appeared behind Sun Yingxue in a flash, it leaned into its neck and sniffed her snow-white neck, licked Sen Sen's fangs, and was about to bite down.
"Get out of here!" Shou Jing screamed, and the mountain stream echoed his voice.
Sun Yingxue looked at him embarrassedly, and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong, Dao Chief!" ”
Shoujing sighed, frowned slightly, and said speechlessly: "Go fast!" ”
"Dao Chief, are you telling me to get out of here or go?" Sun Yingxue pursed her mouth aggrievedly.
The mountain ghost was taken aback by his attitude, and looked at Shoujing and Sun Yingxue in horror.
"Since you're going to follow, hurry up!"
"Oh!" She chased after him with a sloppy little step.
Suddenly, he didn't walk long before he raised his eyes and saw a tomb not far away. Sun Yingxue's eyes widened in astonishment, judging from the appearance of the tomb, this tomb was a hundred years old, but it was extremely clean around it.
The sky is high and the earth is wide, but this lonely tomb appears very abruptly in the mountain stream. Shou Jing cast a spell to remove the weeds on one side and walked straight over.
Sun Yingxue is timid on weekdays, but today the sun is shining, and the mountain stream is refreshing and bright. What's more, following Shoujing, the Taoist leader, she dared to get closer and take a few more looks.
There was not a word on the tombstone in front of me.
Sun Yingxue asked differently: "Who is buried here?" ”
Shou Jing was silent, just staring at the tomb. After a while, he said, "Bury the best man in the world!" ”
"Is it your family?" Sun Yingxue saw that he seemed to be a little lonely, and was still puzzled: "But there is no word on this tombstone, what is the surname of the person buried here, why is it not engraved on the tombstone?" ”。
Shou Jing smiled and turned his eyes: "Because no one will come to worship, and there is no need to tell others who is buried here!" ”
"Hey, that's right, aren't you human?" Sun Yingxue smiled heartlessly.
Shou Jing paused, was silent, and suddenly smiled at him: "I'll tell you a story!" ”
"Okay!" Sun Yingxue's eyes were full of expectations.
His tone softened, and he said slowly: "There was once a child, fatherless and motherless, who begged on the street every day, and although life was hard, he was still very happy, because every day someone would throw him an endless bun or a bite of snack. Every time he received those alms, he would sincerely thank those people. Sometimes if someone could give him a piece of meat, he would laugh for a long time. ”
Sun Yingxue listened carefully and did not interrupt him.
Shou Jing looked at the tomb and made a smile: "Until he met the Taoist chief, the person who was slightly fat and always full of smiles, that day, he went down the mountain to buy some ingredients for the Taoist temple, and happened to meet him, next to the melon shed, the child was picking up a piece of watermelon that fell to the ground, the Taoist chief walked over, smiled, and took out a complete watermelon from the bamboo basket behind him and handed it to him." He was very happy and hurriedly thanked him, and the Taoist chief helped him break the watermelon and gave him the largest piece. Afterward. The Taoist chief knew that he had no father or mother, and remembered that he was pitiful and didn't want him to continue begging, so he carried him back to the Taoist temple. ”
As soon as the words fell, Sun Yingxue approached his face, her eyes blinked, and she laughed: "I heard it, the little boy you talked about is you!" ”
Shoujing hooked her lips: "Why did you suddenly become smarter?" ”
"I've always been smart!" She raised her chin proudly: "I also know that the Taoist is buried in this tomb!" Is that right? ”
Shou Jing raised her eyes and looked at her, and said with a smile: "Yo, you are so smart! Do you remember when I first met you? ”
Sun Yingxue was stunned, I didn't know what was so difficult about him asking this sentence, and blurted out: "Isn't it when I was plotted that day!" You saved me! ”
Shoujing nodded with a faint smile, brushed his sleeves and approached the tombstone, squatted in front of the tombstone, and said to himself: "Fat master, I seem to have finally understood something." ”
Suddenly, there was a plop behind him, and Shoujing turned his eyes to see Sun Yingxue kneeling straight in front of the grave, and kowtowed three times.
Shoujing's eyebrows were twisted together, looking at her in surprise, Sun Yingxue put her hands together with a serious face: "Master, I am fortunate to come to your grave today, the little woman should worship well, but there are no two melon and fruit offerings in this place, so I can only kowtow three times, I hope you have a spirit under the spring and know my mind." Little girl, I must thank you for saving the Taoist at that time, if it were not for him today, I would have died. With that, he knocked three more times.
Shou Jing was speechless but was amused by her, and sarcastically said: "Your gesture is to worship the Buddha, we are Taoists!" ”
"Huh? Is there a difference? She lowered her hand in astonishment.
"Okay, my master knows, you get up quickly!" Shoujing stepped forward to help her, and Sun Yingxue pulled his sleeve gratefully: "Dao Chief, I really thank you, you are the best person I have ever seen in the world!" ”
Shou Jing was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What you see in this world is not necessarily the truth. ”
"But you're really nice to me."
Shoujing brushed his sleeves and turned to walk back, and he replied coldly: "Your mouth is so sweet, I'm afraid it's to stay a few more days!" ”
"No, no! But it would have been great to stay longer! ”
Shou Jing stopped his footsteps, turned his eyes and asked, "Since you don't want to go back, why don't you live here forever!" ”
Sun Yingxue shook her head without thinking: "That's not good, if I don't go back, my father and mother will be very disappointed, and they still hope that I can turn over in the palace, so that my father doesn't have to continue to be an official in that small place in my house." ”
"What about yourself?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to stay in the palace for the rest of your life?"
Sun Yingxue was speechless for a while, and paused: "I seem to have grown so big, I haven't thought about this problem yet." It seems that my parents' expectations of me are my purpose, and they are right, so I should do it! ”
Shoujing ignored it anymore and continued to walk in front, Sun Yingxue picked up a small flower and pinched it in her hand, and began to think in pieces: "Anyway, I have already entered the palace, and I can't stay here for a lifetime, otherwise the emperor will blame you, and you won't be able to explain." However, speaking of the emperor, he doesn't seem to like me at all, but he's different for Qingyun, hey, I can't force this kind of thing! Anyway, I also figured it out, as long as Qingyun can be good, then Concubine Ying won't dare to bully me anymore! ”
Green mountains and green waters, clear days and bright days. Between the mountains and rivers, a Taoist in white walked silently in front, followed by a little girl in red, she jumped and jumped, muttering non-stop, and the Taoist didn't bother her, only occasionally hooked her lips.
