Chapter 1: The Purple Fairy
White dew season, north of Shuofang.
Gu Weiqing propped up the boat and drove among the reeds. Here is a lake called Crescent Lake. The only source of water within a radius of 50 kilometers.
Not far from the lake is a small town of about 10,000 people. He had just come out of town to see Crescent Lake.
This was the first time in his life that he had come to the north, and the scenery of the north was full of roughness and magnificence, the afterglow of the sunset, and the vast desert. It is written with the magnificent scene of the desert being lonely and the sun setting over the long river.
Gu Weiqing's heart couldn't help but open up, the fatigue of the journey dissipated, and the depression in his heart was gone.
He was originally from Yunmengze people, about 20 years old, all the way to study, passing through Jingzhou, Bashu, Jianye, Guzhu, and came to Shuofang. (In the area of present-day Ningxia, Gansu.) )
Prepare to stay here for a few days before heading back east. went to Chang'an and talked about poetry and poetry with Li Bai, Du Fu and others.
The plan is like this, but Gu Weiqing still hasn't figured out what time it is, whether the immortals who used to be difficult to travel and go to the blue sky are still alive?
Put aside these trivial thoughts, prop up the penny, and wander among the reeds. This situation and this scene can't help but remind him of the sentences in the "Book of Songs".
The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.
The so-called Iraqi people, on the water side?
The reeds at the water's edge are vast, and the white dew has condensed into frost. My sweetheart, are you on which side of the lake?
The surrounding reeds were so lush that they blocked the view ahead. That's where wandering comes in, and you never know what you're looking at when you cross the next corner.
A woman suddenly appeared in front of her, and Gu Weiqing instantly thought of the "Shuoren" chapter in the "Book of Songs", her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, her head was like a moth, her smile was smiling, and her eyes were beautiful.
Well, that's all nonsense. She is Zhu Yin, the Zixia Fairy in Journey to the West.
After 20 years of searching, he didn't know who he was looking for, and he didn't know where to look. He only knew that the woman in front of him was the person she was looking for.
Because Gu Weiqing is not from this world. He's a traverser. And his crossing does not fit the description in the novel at all.
He wasn't hit by a car, he wasn't killed by a meteor, and he wasn't struck by lightning. As usual, after work, watching movies, and falling asleep, he came into this world. After coming into this world, he became a newborn baby, and then experienced another cycle from baby to youth.
When he came to this world, there was a very strange thing, because he always had a sentence echoing in his head, where is this?
Where is this? This is Earth, here is Mars, here is the Garden of Eden, here is the Otherworld, here is the Tomb, here is the Tang Dynasty......
In twenty years, he gave countless answers, but the voice in his head never gave him an answer.
And now, he saw the Zixia Fairy. At this moment, he finally knew what the answer to the question was.
Gu Weiqing said silently to the voice in his head: "This is the world of "Journey to the West". ”
It hadn't changed for twenty years, and the voice finally changed at this moment. It's like a computer program, mechanical, and only when you answer the right question will you move on to the next question.
Its voice was very dull, like the voice of a middle-aged man who had caught a cold: "This is the world of Journey to the West, so where are you going?" ”
Where are you going? So what kind of answer can be successfully answered by him?
Gu Weiqing, who was immersed in his inner world, suddenly heard a voice outside: "Hey, are you deaf?" I've asked you so many times and you don't answer. ”
Fairy Zixia jumped onto his boat and looked at him with a little anger. Gu Weiqing walked out of the exclamation just now, and he replied politely: "I'm not deaf, I was amazed by the girl's elegance just now, and I lost my temper for a while. I hope you can forgive me for my faux pas. ”
Women like others to praise their beauty, and although Zixia Fairy is a fairy, fairies are no exception. Sure enough, she was a little angry just now, and immediately became smiling. But she still said: "Don't think that if you praise me for being beautiful, I will forgive you for the rude just now." ”
After saying that, the smile on her face was even brighter. Gu Weiqing complained in his heart, is this really good? It's so unconvincing to say these things with such a happy smile.
He remembered that when he watched "Journey to the West" before, he never found that Zixia Fairy had comic attributes. Could it be that he opened it in the wrong way? The unlocked Zixia Fairy attribute is wrong.
After complaining, he laughed and said, "I haven't introduced it yet, my name is Gu Weiqing, you can call me Weiqing." ”
Her laughter was crisp, as pleasant as a bell, and after laughing, she said softly, "You can call me Zixia." ”
The picture seems to freeze in this moment. Carefree, worry-free, simple, indifferent, harmonious......
All good words can describe this picture of life.
When he saw the Zixia Fairy, he knew what the answer he had given to the voice in his head.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to keep her safe for the rest of her life."
The voice in my head has not changed at all, as before. But Gu Weiqing didn't care whether the answer was correct or not, because this was the answer he wanted most in his heart.
The first time he watched Journey to the West was when he was fourteen years old. At that time, he didn't understand love, he only felt that Zixia was so beautiful, and it was a clear stream in chaos. It is the only silence in the midst of impetuousness.
By the age of eighteen, he had fallen out of love. After watching it again, he cried, and cried extremely sadly. is crying for himself, crying for his lost love, and crying for the death of Zixia Fairy Xiang Xiaoyu.
The last time he saw it was three years after graduating from college, when he met his four-year lover at a class reunion.
Back in the room, he watched "Journey to the West" again. After reading it that time, he fell silent and did not make a sound, trying to suppress the sadness and helplessness from the bone marrow.
And now, this beautiful and tranquil fairy in front of him is standing in front of him. Her name is Zixia Fairy, and she is the woman who wants her to be stable for the first time after he knew her identity for the first time.
"Zixia, hello!"
"Weiqing, hello!"
And just like that, the two met.
Prop up the penny and drive between the reeds. It was close to afternoon at this time, and the faint light of dusk reflected the entire Crescent Lake.
Gu Weiqing stood on the bamboo raft and rowed the boat. Singing the Pujia in the Book of Songs. Zixia Fairy Ze sat on the edge of the bamboo raft, barefoot, lapping the water, and from time to time she would let out a crisp smile like a silver bell.
Above the sky, half of the sky is reflected red. A line of swans suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and it was the season of white dew, and they might have to go south for the winter.
"Wei Qing, look, there are swans." The jade finger of the Zixia Fairy pointed to the west of the water. I saw a few swans, slowly descending to the lake to drink. White feathers, high neck. Dotted with monotonous but elegant lakes.
"Really, it's so beautiful." Gu Weiqing laughed, his eyes shrank a little, and he secretly said to the Zixia Fairy: "You say, are we catching one and roasting it?" ”
Fairy Zixia looked at Gu Weiqing with a serious face, her expression grim. I wonder how he could be so cruel and destroy these beauties.
Just when she was about to teach Gu Weiqing a lesson, the foodie attribute on her body was finally revealed. She finally couldn't put it anymore. Then the thief grinned, ran to Akihara's ear, and said softly, "I haven't eaten a swan yet?" Is swan meat good? ”
Gu Weiqing grinned and said, "Speaking of roasted swans, there is a great deal of exquisiteness in this. First of all, let the swan's flesh soak in water for a moment to remove the depression of the surface, and then ......"
Speaking of eating, Gu Weiqing can tell Zixia Fairy about a whole season of "A Bite of China". And it doesn't be the same for a few hours.
He said as she sat on the raft with her chin in her hands. His eyes were staring straight at him. The two rowed slowly towards the place where the swans were.
Not far away, several swans were drinking water in the lake, and Gu Weiqing also stopped talking about food. After seeing Akihara finish speaking, Fairy Zixia suddenly jumped up on the body sitting on the bamboo raft, and then said cutely: "So is swan meat delicious?" ”
……
In the end, the two still didn't eat the swan meat, and before the boat got close, the swan was scared away by Zixia's cute voice. They spread their wings and flew into the sky.
On the Crescent Lake, Gu Weiqing complained to the Zixia Fairy: "Why do you say you are so loud? It's stupid, and the cooked duck flies away right in the mouth. My braised swan, my steamed swan. ”
It can be seen from this statement that Gu Weiqing is also a foodie.
After Zixia Fairy was complained, she didn't have any grievances, but said to him: "Even if I didn't scare away the swans, then how are you going to catch the swans?" ”
"How to catch, isn't there you? Zixia has a sword on your waist, presumably a martial arts person. It's definitely athletic. There's definitely no problem with you. ”
After saying this, the two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing. Two foodies, one comics, and one second.
"Zixia, are you a traveler?"
"No, I'm a god." Fairy Zixia said very easily, as if she was saying something inconsequential.
Gu Weiqing knew that she was a fairy, but if she wanted to continue to intersect, she had to go deeper. The reason why the two got along so well just now. It's not because of love at first sight, and it's not fate. It's that the two of them have the same breath.
The breath of a traveler, since he was fifteen years old, all the relatives in this world died. He started traveling, stopping and going, and enjoying this state of life.
The same goes for the Zixia Fairy, in the movie. When she appeared, it was in this reed. But before that, how long had she been wandering the world. Gu Weiqing didn't know. But now that he knows, it's been a long time.
Two travelers meet in the water. If you have a good personality, then sit together and chat, then separate and continue your journey.
He didn't want to be separated.
