The flowers are blooming, and the windows are open, but why can't I see you?

I can see you, I can hear you, but I can't love you

……

Is there really an afterlife?

So, I would like to be a butterfly with flapping wings

A drop of ink will scatter through the paper

A grain of weathered sand

……

I pinched the freshwater blue enchantment, as always, it was quite elastic, a little more slippery than the grape skin, but it was not broken even if it was cut and roasted by the knife, I heard that it was laid by the flower god first, and I estimated that if this enchantment was made into a garment, it would be beautiful and practical.

"Hey, isn't this a little peach, it's been a long time, it's been a long time, it's okay if you haven't seen you for a long time?" Lao Hu came out of the ground and pestled in front of me, and the effect was indescribably good.

I touched my chest, and my heart jumped twice and fell back into place quite safely. I patted the little old man's shiny head and reminded him, "We met this morning." ”

Lao Huxiao's eyes flashed, and his face was full of wrinkles: "Taotao, this is a joke, I'm old, and my memory is not bright?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded honestly.

"Tao Tao is still as sad as ever, I am very pleased, very pleased." Xiao Lao'er shook his head, "Anyway, where are Tao Tao going?" ”

"I heard that Lord Changfang has had leisure recently, so I have prepared a Taoist recital, please give it to her." I pinched a piece of silk paper in my sleeve pocket, "I heard that there is some interest outside the flower world, I want to go and see it." ”

"Tao Tao wants to ask Lord Changfang to let you out of this enchantment?" Lao Hu was startled.

I looked at a sea of flowers outside the water mirror through the barrier, hoping that one or two flying insect spirits passing by could pass on the music to Lord Changfang for me, and I felt that Lao Hu was very noisy for a while.

"Oh, what kind of devil is Xiao Taotao, where is there fun outside, the danger is tight, the danger is tight. Fruit spirits and fruit fairies like you and me are scarce, and they will be eaten as soon as they go out. ”

Lao Hu is a carrot that has become an immortal, obviously a vegetable, but he likes to treat himself as a fruit, and he is very proud. It is said that there are very few fruits and vegetables in this world that have become immortals, in this flower world of beautiful flowers and fairies, it is really an outlier like us, Lao Hu has also cultivated into immortals, I have cultivated for four thousand years but I am still just an elf, and I have not even cultivated an immortal, so I can't help but be very melancholy.

In addition to me and Lao Hu in the water mirror, there are also a few small flower essences that do not grow. This water mirror has a powerful barrier that can prevent people from the outside world from entering, and it is the first flower god to protect us shallow elves. However, I feel that it is very impassable, just like a door that can be pulled but not pushed, or pushed but not pulled, there is always one side that can be opened, if it is not opened, if it cannot be pushed, it will become a wall. This enchantment is like this now, not only blocking the people from the outside world but also blocking these elves in our water mirror, which is very weird. Lord Changfang came to inspect the water mirror once a year, and when he checked our art industry by the way, he was not very embarrassed when he saw the progress of my immortal arts, and told me that after 10,000 years, if I cultivated to become an immortal, I would have some self-protection methods before I could get out of this water mirror enchantment.

But I really don't have the patience to wait another 6,000 years.

"Have you ever experienced it, it's terrible outside, when I was young, I met a rabbit with blood-red eyes, opened his bloody mouth and bared out two fangs to bite me, if it wasn't for the pit I dug a lot, I would have become a scum, where is there today. Look at it, look at it, there's still that rabbit scar here! ”

Lao Hu said while pulling his sleeves to let me see his wrist. I looked at it, but I couldn't tell which of the brown marks were age spots and which were scars, so I had to give up. In the story of Lao Hu, the rabbit is always the most terrifying and ferocious beast in the world.

"A peach like you is so smart, you can't be eaten immediately when you go out." Lao Hu touched his round belly and smashed his mouth.

"I am a grape, not a peach." Although I listened absent-mindedly, I still had to correct him on such a principled issue as my own species.

"Aren't grapes and peaches all peaches? It's not good for you, a little girl, to chew words like this at a young age. Lao Hu brushed his beard, probably because he couldn't hang his face, and his face was a little shy.

I waited for a long time and didn't see any elves passing by, so I had to give up, thinking that I could come back tomorrow.

When I went back, the sun had set, and there was a smell of burnt in the wing, but when I opened the door, I was forsythia holding a black object in front of my case, and I was very excited to see me come back.

"You're back. Look what I found in your backyard! Before he could finish speaking, he lifted the mass in front of me.

The smell of burnt food frightened me several long steps back before I could catch my breath, and I barely looked sideways and praised, "Black! It's so dark! ”

Forsythia was not happy, "I'm asking you what kind of object it is, but what are you telling me about color?" ”

Forsythia is a flower essence who has failed to cultivate immortals, and he is happy to pick things up everywhere, but whenever he picks up something, he throws it at me. It wasn't the biggest thing today, but it was the smelliest thing she'd ever picked up.

"It's just a dying jackdaw, buried to make flower fertilizer." I vaguely saw that the black thing was a clump of feathers, and I guessed it was a crow.

"Jackdaw?!" Forsythia raised her voice, "Grape, you mean it's a bird?!" A bird! ~I've finally seen a bird in my life! After that, he turned around excitedly, not knowing what to do.

I can't complain that she is excited, except for some small flowers, grasses and insects in this water mirror, but there has never been a bird that can fly in, I have seen it in Lao Hu's "Encyclopedia of Species of the Six Realms", so I have some impressions.

"Checkmate? Is that not dead yet? Can it be saved? It's saved, can we keep it? Forsythia tugged at my cuffs.

I looked at Forsythia's black slap, and then looked at my sleeve, and I was a little glad that I was wearing a purple dress, which I could barely wear, so I patiently said to her: "How can life be born, and how can death be dead." Life and death are all chances, and all things have their own reincarnation. If it has a life, it will return to life if it is left in the garden without food or sleep, and if it does not have a life, it will be weak for me to save it. ”

"As soon as I said those ethereal words, I was confused again, I only knew that the Buddha said compassion. How can grapes be seen dead and not saved? ”

"How do you know that it is mercy that I saved it? Ordinary people are obsessed with life, who knows that the Buddha is to die as a crossing, and the other side is to live. How bitter life is, and bliss in death. ”

Forsythia opened her mouth, opened her mouth again, and finally said in confusion: "You let me think about it." He thought about my words all the way out the door.

I happily carried the crow to the backyard, and the year before last I planted a plantain in the backyard but I didn't want it to grow badly all the time, thinking that the soil was not fertile enough, and if I buried the crow as flower fertilizer, it should be able to spread its branches and leaves for shade this summer.

It was buried in three or two clicks. I washed up and went back to bed.

I slept until the middle of the night, but suddenly remembered how the crow broke into the water mirror enchantment, and I wondered for a long time, so I got up again and went to the backyard to dig out the crow.

I picked up a grape leaf and attracted a group of fireflies, picked up a fluorescent lamp, and I flipped its wings in the light, and saw a pale golden plating at the base of the wings. Sure enough, it's not an ordinary crow, I think it's a crow that only got the fairy way, it's a pity to bury it as flower fertilizer, it's better to stew it and share it with a dry elf in the water mirror to eat it, but it can grow some spiritual power, and avoid penance for several years.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that my decision was very wise. It's just that it is now gradually no longer spitting, and it is going to stiffen when you see it, and if it is stewed, it will really have to be folded, and the absorption of spiritual power is the most important thing to pay attention to being vigorous and fresh. I had to get it a breath first, and don't let it freeze.

I thought about it, gritted my teeth and endured the pain, dragged out a jar of honey that I had refined for five hundred years from under the bed, scooped a drop of honey into its beak, and then sighed with it. When I had finished working in one go, the crow's wings immediately became softer, and I clapped my hands with great satisfaction, turned my head and went to the stove to get the pot.

But I didn't want to wait for me to get the casserole, and a fluorescent lamp that I had picked up was frightened by something, scattered and flew all over the house.

When I looked at it, it wasn't a big deal, these little insects really hadn't seen the world.

But the enlightened crow took human form because of my honey, and was lying limply on the table. I took the pot around it, a little sad, it turned into a human form, how can I hold the pot with two palms, if I can't fit it, I can't stew naturally.

After thinking for a while, I remembered that all the immortals and gods and monsters have an inner Dan essence, and all the spiritual power and Taoism obtained in my life are condensed in it, as long as I get this inner Dan essence, I will get everything, but I am stupid, and I want to stew this crow whole.

It's just that I don't know where this jackdaw hid its inner pill essence, so I dragged it to the collapse with great difficulty, searched its tattered black clothes, and sighed by the way, the crow's aesthetics are very beyond the Six Realms, and he is not in reincarnation, but he is happy to be dressed like a hole in this way, and he has not found anything like a pill. I think it's hidden inside it.

I took great pains to remove its black, waddling garment, and after touching it for a long time, I was pleased to find it.

There was a very strange thing under the crow's lower abdomen, and I pinched it, some soft and some hard. I recalled my body structure, but there really wasn't such a thing, and I thought that the inner Dan essence must be hidden inside. I'm really smart.

I twisted a piece of vine into a sharp blade, and tried the blade with two of my own hairs, and I was very satisfied.

Raising the blade, I sat on the crow's lower abdomen with my back to it, grabbed the mass and was about to drop the knife, when I suddenly heard a thunderclap on the ground behind me: "Bold! ”
