Chapter Twenty-Six: A Belated Confession
One
Everything in the city is very different, there are no people, no streets, no houses, no shops, no pavilions, no birds and flowers, all but ignorant clouds and fog.
"Is this ------ the so-called City of the Heart?" Anne asked with some disappointment, "why is there nothing? How can this be considered a city?"
"The so-called, the mountain is not the mountain, and the water is not the water. What seems to be a mountain is actually not a mountain, what seems to be water is actually not water, and it is difficult to distinguish between clouds and mist. Zixia began to reply meaningfully, "Moreover, there is nothing in the cycle of all things, and all enlightenment is born from the heart. Good has good karma, and evil has evil karma. Visible and invisible, all are empty. ”
"Oh, big sister, why did you start talking about these clouds and fog again?" Anne asked impatiently, "Can you put it simply?"
"Hey, I'm talking about the third sister! You are already a god in the immortal class, how can you be so unenlightened? I see! You should still be more enlightened. Shang An suddenly stepped forward and interjected.
"Oh, second sister, why are you always sarcastic?"
"Okay, you guys don't make a fuss, pay attention to the impact. Zixia stepped forward and pulled them away and persuaded again.
"Look, what is that?" asked Kang Tai suddenly, pointing to a flash of light that appeared in mid-air.
While they didn't know why, the aura miraculously turned into a semicircular door. When the halo that shrouded the door completely disappeared, the door that hung in mid-air opened automatically. Suddenly, there was another "whoosh!" sound from inside the door, and a golden light radiated from inside, which just enveloped Yasuta and Anne.
"Great, Long'er, Feng'er, you finally appeared. Inside the door that hung in mid-air, an old man's mellow and lengthy voice suddenly sounded.
"Yes, Immortal. In an instant, the two crisp and mellow voices of the dragon and phoenix came out from Kang Tai and Anne's bodies at the same time.
"Who are you??, why are you talking in our bodies?" asked Anne, confused.
"Yes, what the hell is going on in this ------? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen? What are you talking about? Who are you?" Kang Tai also stepped forward and questioned in confusion.
"Brother Long and I are the dragon and phoenix true element hidden in your body, which is the dragon and phoenix twin stars that Zixia Xian'e said. Feng'er didn't see anyone, only heard his voice and replied.
"Then this fully proves that we are not some kind of dragon and phoenix twin stars, and we have nothing to do with you and here, we just want to get back to the old days, please send us home!" Anne suddenly said in a tone that bordered on pleading, "We want to go back to the twenty-first century, because only there is truly ours." ”
"Yes, please send us back! we are just your stand-in, please let us go and come out of our bodies!" said Yasuta, too, begging bitterly.
"No, you're no longer our stand-in. Long Er also didn't see anyone and only heard his voice, "Since you have the mana of me and Feng'er, Feng'er and I have completely integrated with you. From now on, you will be the new masters of the immeasurable space. ”
"Although we are one, no matter what, I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and Brother Long. Feng'er said emotionally, "Of course, I also want to thank all of you! If it weren't for the help of all of you, the immeasurable space would have fallen into the hands of demons." Thank you!"
After listening to these affectionate polite words, everyone said something very modestly and like, "What is the point of worrying about trivial matters, it is natural to conform to the mandate of heaven".
Two
Anne and Kang Tai didn't want to believe it, the two voices coming out of their bodies, everything they said. But because the owners of these two voices, Long'er and Feng'er, speak clearly, and there is a strong persuasiveness, which is irresistible.
"Then ----- why did you choose us in the first place, and how did you get into us?" asked Anne questioningly.
"yes! That's what I've always wanted to ask. After answering the question, Kang Tai also interrogated, "What is going on with all this? Can you explain it clearly? Besides, Anne and I have been with you for such a long time, we can't keep us confused, right?"
"This ------!" Feng'er was worried for a moment and couldn't answer.
"Okay, Feng'er, don't have any scruples, let's talk!" the mysterious old man known as the immortal Weng said again, "I couldn't tell the truth at the beginning, it was because the dragon and phoenix didn't come out, the five elements didn't gather, and the time didn't come, so it was a heavenly opportunity." But now that the dragon and phoenix have already returned to their positions, the five elements are gathered, and the time is ripe, what is there to taboo. Tell them the truth. ”
"Yes, Immortal. After Feng'er answered, she spoke.
It turned out that the real dragon and phoenix twin stars were that when Long'er and Feng'er were adjusting the trajectory of the time ring, they were suddenly attacked by the Black Sea Realm Saint Monarch Black Dragon, who had always wanted to dominate the Three Realms of the Universe and rule the immeasurable space. Because of their momentary negligence, they suffered a big loss from the demon, and finally came out of the body. Immediately afterwards, its primordial spirit was swept into a relatively huge space-time wind tunnel by the space-time whirlwind in the time ring. In that dark and dizzying wind tunnel, they moved at an astonishing speed, almost close to the speed of light. Therefore, at the moment when they were about to burst out of the wind tunnel, they turned into two dazzling golden lights.
Readers must have understood how the primordial spirits of Long'er and Feng'er entered the bodies of Kang Tai and Annie, right? Although this is a coincidence, it cannot be said that their integration is not mixed with factors such as fate! In any case, they have now merged into one.
"I see, no wonder when the stone door opened automatically, there were two galloping golden lights! Anne said thoughtfully.
"It's a good eyesight. Feng'er said in an admiring tone.
"Thank you! Anne said modestly.
"At this point, you should understand all this, right?" asked Long'er.
"Of course. Anne replied.
"Wait, what kind of golden light? Why didn't I see it at the time? What are you talking about?"
"Oops! you were only concerned about scuffling with this bastard, how could you see it so clearly!" Anne said as she squinted at the exhausted Fang Dongsheng next to her.
"Oh! I see. "You mean to say that the two of us are completely coincidental to the two of them. When the stone door opened automatically, the two golden rays of light that had been turned into the dragon and the phoenix shot into our bodies in a very coincidental way, and then we and their primordial spirits fused together bit by bit over the long years. Am I right?"
"Oh, sort of!"
"What do you mean by that, is there anything missing from what I said?"
"Of course. ”
"Then tell me what I left out of my words?" asked Kang Tai casually in a more classical way.
It seems that the two of them have stayed in the ancient Tang Dynasty for too long, and sometimes they even speak with a vague style of the ancients. Moreover, sometimes they even feel that they are two out-and-out Tang Dynasty people. Of course, this feeling is now fragile. ------
"That's right, but there's a place where you use the wrong word. Anne replied with a smile.
"Which place?"
"That's what you said, it's a complete coincidence that the two of us are in harmony with the two of them. I think it's a mistake for you to use the word completely. ”
Three
"Why?"
"You know, everything in the world is changing to varying degrees, and you can't measure it in quantitative terms, otherwise you will go wrong. Anne said as if she had cultivated the advanced Dharma path, "The word complete, literally, means complete, perfect. Since it is perfect, it does not need any repair or remedy, it is an intact and unchanging whole, and it can naturally be compared with quantitative words. That's why I said the word completely, you didn't use it properly. It is only now that I really understand the true meaning of what the eldest sister said last time, 'mountains are not mountains, water is not water, what seems to be mountains is not mountains, what seems to be water is not water, and it is difficult to distinguish between clouds and mist'. ”
"The children can be taught. Zixia nodded slightly on the side and said.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that your understanding would be so unfathomable, and it seems that in the future, the prince will learn more from you. Kang Tai said with some self-shame.
"You don't have to study, it's okay to communicate with each other. With that, Anne smiled sweetly at him.
"Okay, why did you start again, this is not the place for the two of you to flirt, don't forget, now everyone is still in the virtual and real world, and you can't get out!" Shang An reminded them a little impatiently, and then said to the mysterious old man known as Xianweng, "Xianweng, we are ready, let's start!"
"Okay, then come in!"
Suddenly, the door suspended in mid-air began to extend vertically downwards until it ended. In an instant, the gate that unfolded in front of them was like a huge city gate embedded in the clouds and mist, giving people the feeling of standing in the forest and looking at Mount Tai.
"Wow, so high, so big!" said Anne, with a fuss.
"Oh, girl, what's all the fuss about, isn't it just a huge city gate! Don't be like a child, so curious. ”
"Hah! You're going to teach me a lesson now. Anne squinted, patted Kang Tai gently with her hand, and said lightly on her sturdy shoulders, "Don't forget, you can sometimes be as immature as a child, and you can only surpass me at times." Now you dare to say that I am bold, right?"
"Don't dare------ don't dare! Kang Tai apologized with a hippie smile and made a gesture of invitation, signaling that it was time for her to hit the road.
"That's pretty much it. ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go!" With that, Shang An pulled them into the huge city gate with everyone.
As soon as they entered, the huge gate disappeared like a smoke, leaving no trace. This is to signal them that as long as they step through this door, there is no way back, but to move forward and face everything that will happen calmly.
Suddenly, a fresh floral scent came to their nostrils along with the active air, giving their nasal cavities and brain a treat. Under the influence of this brain-soothing floral fragrance, they couldn't help but close their eyes and quietly savor this pleasant fragrance.
In a haze, some vague memories suddenly appeared in their minds, and some figures and faces that were not unfamiliar. When they could clearly identify all the images that appeared in their minds, they were all shocked. They couldn't imagine that this instantaneous change was so sudden that people were not prepared for it, and even the truth of these changes was almost unclear. What none of them expected was that the familiar figures and faces that emerged were all relatives they hadn't seen for a long time.
Four
At this time, they began to come to their relatives with a feeling in the imagery. They both stood staring at each other, their sentimental eyes filled with tears. Suddenly, they hugged each other emotionally, and the intimate contact between body to body, skin to skin, made it all more real than expected. The passion of reunion after a long absence was completely released in an instant. Soon they were crying with tears in their hands.
It was the first time that Anne and Kang had met their biological parents in such a complex imagery setting, so they both cherished the opportunity to meet, whether it was real or not. That kind of strong family affection wrapped the two of them like honey, so that the two of them had long been forgotten, and they could not see anything except the relatives in front of them.
But Tang Ao, Cheng Chang, Xu Chengzhi, Luo Chengzhi, Tang Xiaoshan and Tang Xiangyi actually saw their deceased and unmet relatives in the earthly world in their images. Although they feel that everything in front of them is unbelievable, even unbelievable, but I don't know why? There is always an invisible force in the dark, which is pulling them, making them equally forgetful, and they are also wrapped in that strong family affection, and lose their due reason. They were stuck in it, unable to extricate themselves.
And Zixia, Shang An, Lan'er, Shan'er, and Xing'er also saw their parents who were kings in the Northern Netherworld God Realm in this image. Don't look at them, they are not only immortals who have already attained the Dao, but also Five Elements generals with supreme mana and Five Elements Divine Beasts. It can be said that they have long been beyond the seven emotions and six desires of the world, and are not limited by the five elements and the six realms, so they should not have that kind of irrational behavior of being overly excited and forgetful, right? That is not necessarily, because all sentient beings can only survive if they have a heart, whether it is human, god, or demon------ You must know that the mind is not only the main body of life and the foundation of all emotions, but also the carrier of the good and evil of all beings. Therefore, as long as there is a true heart, even if it is an otherworldly immortal, it is impossible to face the affection of flesh and blood, and will be indifferent, or even have the slightest reaction, although the Buddha said that the four are empty, and there is nothing in the world.
But the three of them, Black Dragon, Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng, were not so lucky. Everyone saw their relatives who they usually wanted to see but couldn't see in a comfortable and calming image, but the three of them met each other's only concern in a spirit of fragility and uncertainty.
Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng's psychological defense line had already collapsed at this time, and the emotions buried deep in their hearts poured out like a flood that broke the embankment, making the two of them fall into deep guilt and self-blame for a while. The two of them didn't have the face to see their relatives, but because they were influenced by that strong family affection in their imagery, they temporarily forgot the sense of guilt in their hearts, and couldn't help but throw themselves into the arms of their relatives, crying like a spring.
"Mother, the child is not filial, so you will suffer for the elderly. Wang Naxiang burst into tears in his mother's arms and said, "The child is sorry for your old age, and even more sorry for the ancestors of the Wang family." The child is a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous rebel------ mother, you can punish me, a damned rebel!"
"Okay, Naxiang, you don't have to blame yourself too much, just let the past pass!" Wang Naxiang's mother stroked his unkempt hair with a hand that had lost its elasticity and moisture, and said with tears in her eyes, "The so-called, knowing mistakes can be corrected, and it is very good." Mother, I hope you can become a big husband who stands up to the sky. Mother, I hope you can be a good person. ”
"Yes, the child will definitely be a big husband who stands up to the sky. Wang Naxiang changed his mind and said, "Mother, the child will never let you down again." ”
Five
Fang Dongsheng has begun to regret it since he was involved in this battle between good and evil with Wang Naxiang and Black Dragon, and now even a villain like Wang Naxiang who forgets his righteousness has reformed himself, let alone himself.
He snuggled into his father's arms and thought about the past, shed a lot of tears, and reflected on many of his past sins.
"Dad, my son is wrong. Fang Dongsheng said silently, "My son shouldn't leave you and go out alone." It shouldn't have been carried behind your back, joining the immoral profession of tomb robbing, and becoming a veteran in this area. It's all greed------ it's all greed that hurts me. Dad, can you forgive me?"
"Dongdong!" Fang Dongsheng's father's voice trembled slightly, calling his nickname and said, "Dongdong, Dad hasn't called you like this for a long time. Originally, I thought that our father and son would never see each other again in this life. It's been almost seven years, and you haven't been home in seven years, and Dad still thinks that you, a little rabbit cub who killed a thousand knives, have been arrested by the police and collapsed!"
"Dad, my son is not filial. Fang Dongsheng suddenly knelt down in front of his father with emotion and said, "Son, I'm sorry for you and your mother who has passed away a long time ago! ”
"Forgive you, yes, Dad can forgive you, but you have to promise Dad that you must be an upright person in the future, and you can't mix with those bad people who don't mess around. Fang Dongsheng's father asked with tears in his eyes, "Do you know? Since my father heard that you were issued an A-level wanted warrant by the police, he began to live a life of being ignored by people during the day and nightmares at night. It doesn't matter if it's all this, my dad can bear it, but the most unbearable thing for me is the lack of virtue that you did behind my back. I always thought that God would punish me, cut off my children and grandchildren, and ruin my family. Of course, this is also the way it should be, and I was mentally prepared to lose everything. But God was merciful, not only did not let our Fang family cut off children and grandchildren, but also gave our father and son the opportunity to meet this time. How do you say that our Fang family should repay the great kindness of God?
"Dad, am I going to be a father too, is there already a successor in our Fang family?"
"That's right, on the fourth day after you left home, your daughter-in-law Xiaoyun became pregnant. But due to the financial difficulties of our family, coupled with the fact that my sick child is in ------ health Xiaoyun had to do odd jobs for others while pregnant, and she was not admitted to the hospital until the day she was about to give birth. Xiaoyun is a good girl, our Fang family, I'm sorry for her!" Fang Dongsheng's father began to cry when he said this.
"Dad, I was wrong------ I was wrong, don't cry------ don't cry. Fang Dongsheng stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, still kneeling in front of his father, kowtowing like pounding garlic and said, "I know that I have committed an irreparable sin, and I don't have the face to ask for your forgiveness, let alone dare to expect forgiveness from God." I only hope that before God sentences me to death, I will see Xiaoyun and my son one last time. ”
"Hey, it's late------ it's late. Fang Dongsheng's father tightly closed the old tearful eyes, sighed and asked him, "The hearts of their mother and son have long been broken by you. Do you know what? How did the mother and son survive all these years? Why did you, a little rabbit, do evil outside, but let the mother and son bear everything for you? You say, what kind of face do you have to go and see their mother and son again?
"Dad, don't talk about it, the unfilial son knows that he is guilty and has no face to see their mother and son, but now that the son knows that he is wrong, isn't there a saying that if you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you are very good!" Fang Dongsheng asked in pain, "Dad, my son is not asking for your forgiveness, he just wants to see their mother and son for the last time before the heavens and the earth are destroyed, can't such a small request satisfy the son?"
"Okay, I'll come to see you one last time with Seondeok, so you don't have to embarrass Dad anymore. After that, Xiao Yun was wearing a gray-white long-sleeved coarse cloth dress, stepping on a pair of flat cloth sandals, holding a vegetable basket in one hand, and leading a little boy about six or seven years old in the other, and appeared in front of Fang Dongsheng with an expressionless face.
Six
Although Xiaoyun is dressed as a housewife, her appearance and figure do not match her dress. She is white and clean, her facial features are delicate, and there is no unevenness on her body, so she can be said to be a beautiful woman with a dignified appearance and a slender figure. If she dresses up a little more, it will be like a flower out of the water. It's a pity that her flower was unlucky enough to be inserted on Fang Dongsheng's pile of cow dung. This really confirms the saying that a good man has no good wife, and Lai Han marries a flower wife.
"Xiaoyun, you're finally here. After that, Fang Dongsheng suddenly moved his knees, came to Shande's front and asked, "Xiaoyun, what did you call him just now?" Shande? Is our son's name Fang Shande?"
"That's right, our son's name is Fang Shande. After Xiaoyun answered him with tears in his eyes, he asked him in a heavy tone, "Fang Yuan's square, kind's goodness, and moral virtue------ Do you know what the three words of goodness mean?"
"I know, now I know everything. Fang Dongsheng began to say calmly, "The reason why you named our son Fang Shande is that you want him to be a good person who does good deeds and accumulates virtue when he grows up, and not to be a bad person who harms others and himself like his father." Xiaoyun, I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for Shande. I don't dare to ask you to forgive me, I only hope that your mother and son can live a happy life from now on, and let me bear all the blame for all my sins!"
"It's late, it's too late. Xiao Yun looked at him with a look that was almost desperate.
"No, it's not too late------ it's not too late. Fang Dongsheng hurriedly defended himself and said, "When I was wandering in the void body original space in the virtual reality realm, I had already figured it out. I really didn't expect that my past was so dark, and all the evil things I had done were so intolerable. The shameful Fang Dongsheng in the past is dead, and the one kneeling in front of you is a reborn Fang Dongsheng. If Heaven were to punish me now, or even let me die immediately, I would not complain. But I hope that in the next life, the three of us will still be a family. I owe you so much that I have to pay it back with my next life. ”
"Dad, don't leave me and my mother and you alone, okay?" Fang Shande asked in a pleading tone, twisting his immature little face.
"Okay------ good------ good! Dad, you will never leave your mother and son, good son. After that, Fang Dongsheng, Xiaoyun and Fang Shande, a family of three, hugged each other affectionately.
At this time, the black dragon that had lost its true body and wandered in the space broke into the core space of Evoking Heart City in a haze. Except for a few large screens drifting around, there was still a hazy emptiness.
Just when it was at a loss, some amazing images suddenly appeared in the few drifting big screens. The black dragon stared blankly at these dusty pictures for a long time, and the heart sealed in the Wuji Seal suddenly miraculously stirred up a trace of waves, and its heart was gradually awakened by these pictures, and even the dark demon god with magic power could not stop it.
Its mind was very confused, like a ball of twine with a dead knot, which could not be untied and constantly pulled. On the one hand, it does not want to face these unbearable events in front of it again. On the other hand, its own demons are engaged in a fierce struggle with the true heart that is about to be awakened. Therefore, it seems to be distracted and miserable.
Its spirit was about to collapse, and it watched in the picture, constantly appearing, it was seriously injured in a demon melee, escaped from the demon domain alone, came to the world, and after fainting at the foot of a snowy mountain, it was rescued by a female hunter named Snow Lotus.
At that time, due to its severe injuries and the cold climate with biting ice muscles, it almost lost hope of survival. Just as it was dying, a hunter wearing a white animal skin robe, a brown animal skin shirt and pants, white fur boots, and a white and brown animal skin hat suddenly appeared in its hazy eyes. I saw that the Orion slowly picked it up and hugged it into his arms. At this moment, it gradually saw clearly the true face of the Orion's Lushan. Almond eyes, willow eyebrows, high nose bridge, thin lips, and a white and red face look very attractive.
It lay quietly in the hairy arms of the Orioness, and a warmth that had not been felt in thousands of years suddenly welled up in my heart. It forgot for a moment the blood and darkness of the Demon Realm, as well as its own pain and harsh environment, and it began to like this warm feeling, and it also began to like her. So, an unforgettable love and hate relationship kicked off in that kind of forest and snow field. ------
It looked at it, and miraculously tears of grief and remorse flowed from its eyes.
