The light shines through the half-hidden windows of the bamboo curtains, cutting square spots of light on the tabletop, and a long-withered camellia flower is inserted in the white-glazed porcelain vase, and the fine smoke and dust flutter around the flowers, like the dead soul of a butterfly.

Lin Shouxi stared into Mu Shijing's eyes.

Like an ice arrow piercing his heart, the smile on Lin Shouxi's face faded quickly, and he immediately thought of one thing.

When he was very young, his brothers and sisters had given him a baby kiss, and the brothers and sisters made a list of hundreds of people, but they couldn't find a real match, at this time, a senior sister asked if they could go to and the Daomen and kiss, coincidentally, the Daomen side also had similar ideas, and was also preparing a marriage book, and later, the new Daomen master took office and stopped the marriage.

That is, this marriage letter......

"yes, I've been married since I was a child, and I was booked with a bastard." The bleak light in Mu Shijing's eyes had faded, and she said contemptuously: "Fortunately, Master Shizun is wise enough to prevent this marriage, otherwise...... Getting married to such a person, this girl can't even think of it. ”

Mu Shijing really didn't dare to think about it.

If she really got married, wouldn't she have to live a life of being bullied by Lin Shouxi's dragon catcher in the morning, being bullied by her little sister Chu Yingchan at noon, secretly practicing and being betrayed by a death certificate, and going home at night to be arrested by Xiao He to write embarrassing manuscripts...... That's all there is to hell, right? And will that kind of thing really be happy, listening to Xiao He, it turns out that really being together is to let the other party into his own, isn't this equivalent to pulling out a sword and stabbing someone, how can it be comfortable? Or is love something traumatic?

Wait, what am I thinking, this girl is nineteen years old this year, how can she still be like a cardamom girl who doesn't know anything about the world...... Mu Shijing gritted his teeth and hurriedly smashed all the ideas that came to him.

In the past, Mu Shijing would subconsciously blame Shizun for this, thinking that Shizun did not give her a good education in this regard, but now, she has reconciled with Shizun from the bottom of her heart, because she feels that Shizun may not understand these things.

In the end, this marriage letter is just an episode when she was four or five years old, and the past of death is suddenly in front of her, which will always bring some inexplicable stinging.

It's just that when the corner of the marriage book touches her fingertips, she can still feel a trace of heat, as if the afterglow of a flame has burned out.

Regarding Mu Shijing's cynicism, Lin Shouxi just smiled, he squatted down and asked softly, "Can I take a look at this marriage letter?" ”

"I can't."

Mu Shijing bent his fingers, took the marriage letter back into his arms, and said: "This girl has made an exception for you to come to the boudoir for a visit, but you still want to make an inch?" How can you let such a private thing as a marriage book be read at will? ”

"I just want to see which bastard has the courage to covet the girl." Lin Shouxi said softly.

"What does it have to do with you? Be less nosy. Mu Shijing bit his silver teeth, put the marriage book away, and put the rest of the items back into the wooden box and pushed them back to the bottom of the bed.

When he turned around, Mu Shijing saw that Lin Shouxi was still looking at himself.

Her heart moved, she thought for a moment, and said, "Well, if you really want to see it, then ...... In short, when this girl is in a good mood one day, I will reward you. ”

Lin Shouxi smiled and didn't ask any more.

Mu Shijing wanted to open the marriage book and read it, but Lin Shouxi was on her side, she always felt uncomfortable, so she temporarily put it in her arms, thinking that she would quietly take it out and take a look at it when no one was there at night.

The marriage book was placed close to the chest, but it always seemed to be covered with a thin piece of charcoal, burning that place like a mountain of flames.

Of course, it was just a hallucination, and she didn't know what she cared about.

Later, I was going to see my brother and sister, who was suspected of defecting to the enemy, so Mu Shijing temporarily expelled Lin Shouxi and changed his clothes in the room.

Lin Shouxi waited at the door for a while.

The door opened.

It seems that the heavenly kingdom is opened, and the Son of God, which symbolizes holiness and pure whiteness, goes to the world.

The girl's slightly pointed pear-colored flat shoes were the first to bury over the threshold, and then, the curve of Lingxiu's calves was also revealed, and the calves were wrapped in slender anti-evil ice silk stockings, purifying the original demon into holiness, and the intention of holiness was extended, blocked by the snow-white cotton skirt, the pure color of the white skirt, only the corners of the skirt were painted with flowers and cranes, the girl developed well, the slenderness fitted, beautiful and graceful, the corners of her mouth were smiling, her eyes were full of clear light, and a green silk was pulled into a delicate bun, revealing the back of her snow-white neck, And on this cloud-like hair, there is a small nine-tailed phoenix golden crown pressed like the finishing touch, which is not only obtrusive, but also adds a bit of non-blasphemous luxury to her.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Shijing has been sentenced to two people.

Lin Shouxi, who was accustomed to seeing beauty, was also stunned in place, shocked by this thrilling beauty, and was speechless for a while.

She didn't seem to have stepped out of this elegant hut, but more like she had stepped down from the throne on the snowy mountain.

At the same time, Lin Shouxi also doubted whether Mu Shijing's personality changed with the color of her clothes, after changing this clothes, she suddenly became much gentler and quieter, as a Taoist saintess, her demeanor could not find a flaw.

Mu Shijing walked in the snow and noticed Lin Shouxi's gaze from time to time, she smiled lightly and asked, "Which one do you think is better-looking?" ”

Lin Shouxi could see the provocation in the depths of her eyes, although his heart trembled because of Mu Shijing's indescribable beauty, he sneered on his lips and said, "Miss Mu is indeed beautiful, and she deserves to be the second most beautiful in the world." ”

"The first beautiful is the Holy Bodhisattva?" Mu Shijing thought to himself that he was protecting his shortcomings again.

"It's me." Lin Shouxi said calmly.

"Shameless!"

Mu Shijing's chest rose and fell, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves, if she wasn't in the Daomen, she would definitely have to use her fists and feet to theorize.

When the Holy Maiden of Daomen returned, the disciples of Daomen who had experienced great turmoil were overjoyed and came to meet the Holy Maiden one after another.

When they saw Lin Shouxi following him, and saw him dressed in plain white, they couldn't help but think about him.

"This is Lin Shouxi, the descendant of the Demon Gate, who was my enemy, and then was defeated by me, and finally abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, lost his way, joined the Daomen, and was trained by me to become a good disciple of the Daomen, you don't have to be afraid when you see him in the future." Mu Shijing said softly to the disciples who gathered around.

Lin Shouxi didn't want to fold her face in front of everyone, so she chose to be silent.

When he got along with Chu Chu, Lin Shouxi already understood that all the vanity earned in front of people would eventually be repaid in other ways after people.

Lin Shouxi's worship of the master of the Daomen as a teacher has long been known to the world, but the disciples pretended to be unknown, and shouted that the Holy Maiden was mighty, which made Mu Shijing proud. The disciples asked her about Shizun's movements again, but Mu Shijing was vague, only saying that Shizun was now going to do big things.

Thinking of this, Mu Shijing and Lin Shouxi both remembered the sudden sword that came when the door of the other world opened, and they were worried, but worrying was useless, they could only choose to believe in Shizun, believing that she could turn the danger into a disaster.

Lin Shouxi quietly left to find his senior brother and sister.

But when the maid led him to the residence of his senior brother and sister, Lin Shouxi only saw a row of empty houses, and the servant who was cleaning the room told him that these people had left last night, and they said, 'Although the Daomen is not my hometown', they quietly left and returned to the Demon Gate.

Lin Shouxi didn't feel disappointed, in his heart, the senior brothers and sisters were such people, he wandered around the Daomen alone for a while, and when he walked through a magnificent wooden hall, the Zhan Palace on his waist suddenly glowed, Lin Shouxi was refreshed, and pushed the door in.

This is the ancestral hall of the Daomen, and it records the portraits of the ancestors since the completion of the Daomen.

The portrait of Gong Yu is placed in the center.

She is the only female master in the history of the Daomen.

The white skirt of the ancestor in the painting is like a confusing fog, and no matter how dexterous the brush is, it will look clumsy when describing the real color of heaven and man, but Rao is so, the streamer phantom on the painting scroll is enough to make people think about it, and at this moment, if Mu Shijing stands beside her, it really looks like a mother and daughter.

Then, Lin Shouxi found that there was another painting next to the portrait of the ancestor.

There is no specific person on this painting, only a pitch-black silhouette, and under the silhouette, the seal of the master is pressed, which proves that this is the handwriting of the ancestor.

Lin Shouxi understood at first sight that this should be the legendary master, but he didn't understand why the ancestor didn't draw a hologram, but only a black shadow...... It looks a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.

"It's kind of like it."

Behind him, the girl's cold voice came.

Lin Shouxi looked back and saw Mu Shijing standing at the door of the Patriarch Hall.

He didn't know that in Mu Shijing's sight, his back and the figure in the painting almost overlapped.

"Like? What is it like? Lin Shouxi asked.

"I said, this master is quite similar." Mu Shijing smiled softly and fooled the past.

Lin Shouxi bowed her head, but she always felt that she was hiding something.

Mu Shijing slowly walked to his side, looked at the portrait, and said: "Speaking of which, it has been more than 300 years, and the master doesn't seem to have the idea of getting married." ”

"What a goddess the ancestor is, it is reasonable not to seek a Taoist companion." Lin Shouxi said.

"Really?"

Mu Shijing shook his head and said, "I think this has something to do with the master of the master." ”

"Really...... If this is the case, what kind of marriage entanglement between the master and her master can be remembered for hundreds of years. Lin Shouxi sighed.

"It doesn't necessarily take a lot of entanglement, sometimes, a short and beautiful memory is enough to remember for a lifetime." Mu Shijing said.

"Maybe." Lin Shouxi said.

"Heh, I heard that you said to your apprentice that only unstable things will be washed away by time, and you said this, why are you shaken by yourself?" Mu Shijing asked with a smile.

Lin Shouxi smiled self-deprecatingly, he looked at the portrait, and said: "Even if time can't be washed away, the people and things that have passed away will never come back, isn't it sad to remember it forever." ”

Mu Shijing wanted to mention a few words, but after opening her mouth, she gave up, the corners of her lips pursed a playful smile, she found something from the cabinet, handed it to Lin Shouxi, and said: "Yes, it is really a pity that the master and the ancestor are really regrettable, in this way, how about making incense for my ancestor?" ”

Mu Shijing handed the incense to the past.

Lin Shouxi didn't think much about it, and felt that this was the way it should be, so he took the incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense altar after saluting three times.

When Mu Shijing saw this scene, he pursed his red lips, for fear of laughing.

She also went to put on a few sticks of incense.

After leaving the Patriarch Hall, the two of them rested completely, and finally set off towards Chang'an.

They had a car, pulled by a sturdy dragon, and it was very fast.

The wheels spun and the carriage jolted away.

On the road.

Mu Shijing opened the curtain, looked at the scene that flew backwards, and suddenly spoke, saying:

"The deceased is like Sifu, never returned, the master has lived alone in the world for hundreds of years, how lonely, as her apprentice, you should consider it for the master."

"What are you talking nonsense again?" Lin Shouxi frowned.

"Don't pretend you don't understand." Mu Shijing said: "You have been alone with your master for so long, do you really not feel a little bit? ”

Lin Shouxi did not answer immediately.

It must be false to say that there is no feeling at all, when he was sheltering from the rain in the temple, the proud and hot delicate body of the master was in his arms, and when he was hugged tightly, the blazing and full feeling he could not forget, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest, not to mention the few unintentional glimpses and the lessons he dared to teach the ancestors.

But......

But he knew that the reason why Shizu indulged his lessons to her was only because Shizu missed her master. He may be somewhat similar to her master, but in the final analysis, he is just a substitute, a tool for his master to reminisce about his childhood.

And what about him? He couldn't tell what he thought, but on the rugged road to the south, his life and death with his ancestor were destined to be remembered for a lifetime, and he didn't care about his ancestor's 'use' of him, but even more pity.

If Mu Shijing knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely beat a chestnut over and scold him for being a fool.

"Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, it means that there is? Tsk, you really want to be my master, it's really a wolf ambition. Mu Shijing put his arms around his chest and looked at him coldly.

"Aren't you looking for a master yourself?" Lin Shouxi asked rhetorically.

"I'll tell you casually, you really dare to think about it." Mu Shijing's mouth pursed and said meaningfully: "Xiaoyu, this girl will definitely become bad if it falls into your hands, maybe it will be a character like Shizun again." ”

"How is that possible?" Lin Shouxi shook his head, unimpressed.

Xiao Yu has indeed been a lot more rude and willful recently, but he feels that the sin is not his own, and eighty percent of it is for Xiao He to bring it badly. Besides, he has also seen Xiaoyu's mother, her mother who likes to wear a green dress is a very cold and demure fairy from the outside, so where can the daughter born by a fairy deviate from?

"Don't believe me?" Mu Shijing looked at Lin Shouxi's face with great interest, and sneered like seeing through the red dust.

Lin Shouxi didn't like her confident smile, he no longer answered her question, but launched a counterattack: "By the way, I said earlier that only unstable things will be destroyed by time, so, a hundred years later, if Miss Mu is allowed to recall the past, what will she remember?" ”

The wind blew the curtain, and the light shone in from the outside, hitting the cheeks of the saint in the white dress, and her beauty was like a drenched paper, showing translucency, and the beautiful green veins were also clearly visible.

She pulled her hair swaying in the breeze behind her ears, and no longer looked into Lin Shouxi's eyes, but looked out the window.

The dragon-drawn chariot drove through a mountain road, the road was paved with small stones, it was very bumpy, and both sides were withered trees and craggy strange rocks, and I didn't know what this scenery was beautiful, but it made Mu Shijing concentrate for so long.

"I'll still remember you, remember all of you." Mu Shijing didn't know when she turned her head, half of her face fell into the light, half hidden in the shadow, and there was a little charm in her cold eyes.

Lin Shouxi asked casually, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, and for a while, his back involuntarily straightened.

"For ...... Why? Lin Shouxi asked.

"Because I hold a grudge." Mu Shijing tilted her head and blinked, on her pure white and beautiful face, the smile on her red lips was indescribable, making it impossible to tell whether she was joking or telling the truth.

"Me too." Lin Shouxi said.

"What are you?" Mu Shijing's smile faded, and she asked coldly: "Do you remember me or do you also hold grudges?" ”

"Guess?" Lin Shouxi said with a smile.

"Boring." Mu Shijing lowered his face coldly and pinned his head to the side.

The scenery in the near distance is in a hurry, and the scenery in the distance is faltering.

Snowy streams rushed past her eyes.

She was looking at the scenery in the light outside the window, and Lin Shouxi was looking at her in the shadows in the car.

Outside the window, the sky is high and far away, so vast that it seems that it will not be able to walk in a lifetime.

The cold wind was like a knife, as if trying to carve her cheeks, and the cold air squeezed into the gaps in her skirt and swam around her, and the bright red wedding letter was hot against her breast.

Mu Shijing doesn't know how many people and things she will remember hundreds of years later, but she believes that she will always remember this moment and live forever with her life.

She couldn't help but think of the story in the Zhu Shen Lu again, at the beginning of the story, the male protagonist and another girl had feelings for each other, he loved his fiancée deeply, and he also didn't want to leave this girl who shared life and death together, hesitating in his heart, and finally, a sentence from a villain demon inspired him - you are so timid, you don't dare to do it all?

The actor had an epiphany, and finally got what he wanted under some maneuvering, and returned with a double beauty, of course, this is not the main thing, the most important thing is that the karma cycle is unhappy, and the demon girl who inspired him at the beginning was finally tamed by him, and completely sank in the night and night sheng song.

When she first saw this, Mu Shijing also laughed, and now that she has experienced so many things, she suddenly found that the reality seems to be more absurd and bizarre than the story, no matter how imaginative the three-flower cat is, I am afraid that she can't write about the marriage entanglement between Lin Shouxi and Shizun, as for herself......

She is not a character in the book, how can she be as embarrassing as the demon girl in the book?

Of course, now is not the time to think about that.

A destroyed locust forest came into view.

Neither of them laughed anymore.

It's as cold inside the carriage as it is outside.

Ryoma hissed and stopped.

Mu Shijing took off the delicate nine-tailed phoenix golden crown and put it aside, and at the same time, she fixed the death certificate on the iron buckle on her waist, and walked out of the car with her hand on the hilt of the sword.

The weather was clear and the clouds were long.

Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing stood side by side on the official road.

The ancient city of Chang'an stopped in front of them, majestic as if it were fate.
