Deserted villages, old houses.

The cold wind blew in through the half-missing window, tearing the cobwebs that hung on the side to shreds, and the house was completely furnished, except for a few wooden stakes, and on one of them lay a bowl with a pitted edge, with a little oil in it, and a little light twist, and one of them was on, and the more desolate and decaying the house became.

Baoyu was dressed in a shabby robe, curled up in the straw pile in the corner of the wall and shivered, since he left the raider's house that day, he had been begging all the way to live, and had also thrown himself into a few small temples, because he could not make more food and silver, and did not know how to carry water and firewood, he only knew a few words, and could read a few volumes of scriptures, which was of little use. This year, he was exiled to this old house, probably ownerless, and no one came to chase him. During the day, I will go to a nearby village to eat fast, and at night I will sleep and live half hungry and half full. It's just that it happened that a heavy snow fell for several days in winter, and he was infected with the wind chill again, and he couldn't go out, so he didn't eat for several days, and his spirit was already in a trance.

Somehow tonight, he couldn't sleep like he had done the other day, as if he was suddenly not used to the darkness of the night, so he forced himself to light the lamp—there was not much oil left, and he was reluctant to light it. The light is faint, but the dim color brings some warmth. Even if he couldn't sleep, he remembered many things in his heart: the magnificent courtyard full of streets, the scenery full of flowers and willows, the sisters and sisters full of houses, his splendid Qiluo tent, his gentle and rich country, his prosperous once a fire that had been burning, suddenly burned to ashes one day, and now, even the ashes have dispersed.

The home is gone, the old lady, the lord, and the wife all went early, and Sister Lin went earlier, and he didn't even see each other when he was early. In fact, he already knew that it was impossible to stay with Sister Lin for a long time, but he always lived one day at a time, but he didn't expect her to go in such a hurry, and since she left, his heart didn't seem to skip again. can't say that, when the old lady went, when something happened at home, he was also sad and angry, but that sadness and anger also seemed to be fake, and his real feelings went with Sister Lin.

He felt a little sleepy, his eyelids could no longer hold on, the wind seemed to grow stronger, the faint flame flickered and extinguished, he closed his eyes completely, and his hand that clung to his robe drooped down, and he was finally free from the bondage of his flesh.

Baoyu, no, the soul of the Shenying attendant came out of Baoyu's body, and he only looked at it in a daze, although it was one day in heaven and one year on earth, so he didn't even have a month in the world these days, but the various things he experienced in person could not be forgotten for a while. This panicked dream was a great catastrophe. He was still a little unwilling in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the sky was bright, looking out, the sky was clear, only to see two people walking in the distance, both of them were wide robes and big sleeves, and they were holding fairy wind bones.

The monk stepped forward and took the hand of the attendant of Shenying, and said with a smile: "Immortal friends have been separated for many years, do you still remember the monk?" ”

The attendant of Shenying hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be a misty real person and a vast master, and the two immortal friends are polite." ”

The Taoist priest also said: "Now that the immortal friend has returned from the calamity, this romantic case can be regarded as completely over, you can go to the police illusion fairy with the two of you to sell the number, and return to your Red Flaw Palace, and from then on you can practice wholeheartedly." ”

He pointed to the neck of the Baoyu body and said: "Although the stupid thing has left its body, it has not yet returned to its original position, and it will be good if we send it back to the bottom of the nonsensical cliff and green ridge peak of the Great Wilderness Mountain." ”

After speaking, the two of them and Baoyu drove the fairy clouds together and went to the east, and after a while, they saw a mountain peak under the clouds towering and towering, and the momentum was extraordinary, and the Taoist priest said: "That's it." After speaking, he stretched his hand forward and said with a smile: "Go, go, go." ”

I saw a piece of beautiful jade in the hand of the Taoist priest, jumping off the cloud, getting bigger and bigger, and at the foot of the mountain, it turned into a big stone. Shen Ying's waiter said: "Could it be that this is the true face of Tongling Baoyu, but it is just a stupid stone, and it is regarded as a treasure by the world. ”

The two only laughed and did not speak, and after a while, a big stone archway appeared in front of them, engraved with the four big words "too illusory", and said with a smile: "It's here, fairy friends, please take care of yourself." With that, he turned forward and walked away.

The Shenying waiter looked at the words on the archway and the couplets on both sides, and the past came to mind: he was the master of the Red Flawed Palace, because he had been in the heavenly palace for a long time, and he had no cultivation to improve, and he was envious of the peaceful and prosperous world in the mortal world, wealth and glory, so he went down to the mortal world to create an illusory fate. Now that he has returned, he only needs to eliminate the number of the police illusion fairy, and he can return to his original position.

Then passed the archway, went inside, all the way to the sea of strange stones and clouds, the grass and trees are grandiose, and sometimes smell a wisp of fragrance, only to feel that a turbidity in the mortal world gradually dissipated, only to feel the body light heart floating, full of comfort. I didn't go far again, and I saw a palace gate, on which there were four big characters "Evil Sea Love", and there was a couplet, which was:

The sky is thick and the earth is high, and the exploration of ancient and modern feelings is endless

Crazy men and women complain, poor Fengyue debts are difficult to repay

The attendant of Shenying suddenly remembered a dream he had experienced when he was a child, and the police illusion fairy girl had also led him to travel to this illusory realm. So I followed the old road, entered the second-floor door, looked for the plaque of "Bo Ming Division", pushed the door in, and saw that there were still more than a dozen large cabinets in the house, and they were sealed with seals, and the names of various provinces were written. He just found the place of "Jinling Twelve Hairpins", took out a book and opened it carefully, only read the first page, and then silently burst into tears.

It turned out that although he had read these brochures when he was young, he didn't understand them when he was young, and secondly, he forgot about the things in his dreams, and he forgot them when he woke up, and now he looks at it again, but the fate of the sisters in the family is on it, and they are all miserable and sad, Sister Lin, Sister Bao, Big Sister, Second Sister, Sister Feng, these are dead, but there is still a place, the third sister who doesn't know where to go, the fourth sister, Xiangyun, Miaoyu, but now even the bones can't be found. He originally wanted to take care of his sisters as delicate flowers, but he didn't know that they would eventually be destroyed and decayed. He didn't know that if everyone's marriage fate was predetermined, then he would have been rehearsed a long time ago. So when the police fairy taught him to read these booklets and listen to those many tunes, did he let him break through it as soon as possible and return to his original position as soon as possible? Or tell him about these many endings and make him change his mind?

He put down this booklet, and opened the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins Subbook" and "Jinling Twelve Hairpins and Subbook" cooks, which recorded that it was indeed the same as the fate of everyone in the family, only hated himself for being young and ignorant, and knew that such an ending was clearly known, but he could not change it.

After reading it, most of the time has passed, and the strange thing is that there is no one in the police fantasy palace to guide him, and he has looked through these brochures, and no one has stopped him. So he closed the door of the cupboard and looked out.
