seventeen

There is also a secret matter in the Ancient Breath Dragon Continent that has not been passed on to this day, involving the death of their ancestors. But after the two brothers first settled down on Xiaozhou, one day in the vast reed forest, they met a 'hairy man' with a reed leaf hat on his head and thatched shoes on his feet. When the brother was suspicious, he was about to turn around and flee, but the 'hairy man' nodded slightly, and turned around like a miracle.

"If you have the number of fortunes, you can ask for nothing, why hide?"

Between the words, there was no movement, but the 'hairy man' understood in front of his brother.

The brothers saw that they had to meet the immortals, they didn't dare to look up, and they didn't dare to reply rashly, so they knelt down in front of the 'hairy man' and said in a trembling voice: "Please forgive my brother for the offense of the right person." ”

Perhaps after hearing the word 'immortal', the 'hairy man' took a long breath, and said after a while: "You are not guilty." - Just come with me. ”

How dare the brothers disobey at this moment, and somehow they got to a small sand dune. "Please wait a moment, both of you. As he spoke, the brother looked up and saw a large cone-shaped reed shed. At this time, the 'hairy man' had moved away from the small fan-shaped door that was hidden: "Please come in!"

The two of them didn't distinguish between good and bad for a while, and they didn't dare to think about it, so they had to bow down into the shed with the 'hairy man'. Take a look, and see that there is nothing else in it except for a single shop made of reed stalks, and a bottle of gold-smeared god statue of half a human height. It's just that the bottle god is like his brother, but it is the body of the Taishang Laojun.

Could it be that the brother was secretly trying to figure it out, but the 'hairy man' stepped forward, uncovered the reed mattress again, and groped for a piece of tattered paper. The brother was soon thinking: the abnormal moment was coming.

As expected, the 'hairy man' actually prayed silently to the idol for a long time, and performed three bows and nine bows, and after the salute, he turned back to his brothers: "I think your brother has known now, what kind of person I am, what kind of person-"

His voice trembled, and slowly became low and deep, but he quickly told his true intentions.

It turned out that he was really a Taoist and an old Taoist who had entered Taoism since he was a child. As far as he is concerned, the reason why he stayed away from the Taoist hall and lived alone in the desert continent was initially because he was condemned to the gods for his lack of sincerity in learning the Tao a few years ago, and he was punished to live in this small continent for ten years. Ten years, the bleak river sand, the cold forest of reeds, the rolling river, there is not a trace of people, not half a wisp of dust and smoke can be seen. At that time, he was young and in his prime. He also tried to escape, but found that the eyes of this god (Taoist) were omnipresent. After five years, he felt that he couldn't survive it anymore, so he tried to die. He plunged into the turbulent river, one step, two steps, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that this was the good intention of the mysterious Taoist, because if his personal experience, his current environment, and his present 'death' were fused together, he would have formed a character map with extremely profound meaning—it seemed that after another three years, when he used reed juice as ink and drew the character map on the only remaining white undershirt, he was sent back to the Taoist temple in the distant mountains. In this way, within a few days, the Taoist chief led the Taoist audience to come together. This Dao has been here for a long time, but it is to congratulate him on finally understanding the Dao Realm that has been left for countless years, and also to welcome him back to the throne. At that time, he had already seen a face full of white hair, along with the beard and eyelashes on his face. But in the face of the Taoist chief's kindness, he politely declined. For at this moment he already felt that he was approaching a greater and more wonderful truth, and he only had to elaborate and understand it step by step.

This time he stayed, it was no longer eight years, but eighteen, twenty-eight, thirty-eight years-"this is," he clutched the piece of paper in both hands, and finally said sadly: "This is the result of my painstaking efforts in the past fifty years, and it is only waiting for the last enlightenment; it is a pity, it is a pity that I have arrived now--That's it, just ask the two of you, and it is also the fate of the two of you! You can wait for a good life to remember: Whoever can understand this below, who can understand this, will be able to cultivate into a saint in this world!

After saying that, the man of Mao Dao took a piece of yellow paper and handed it to his brother, and he actually went down to the river beach along the foot of the sand dune, and after another section, he floated on the river and flowed away.

Later, when the brother went to look at the piece of paper, he saw that it was faintly written: white clouds under the sky, green reeds under the clouds, green sand under the reeds, and sand - that's all, that's all.

Naturally, this is not a matter of circumstance, and it is only a matter of this verse.

Compared with the wind legend in this issue, the elders of this Xilong Continent also have their own opinions on rhetoric, so naturally there are believers and unbelievers. And more people still hold another concept of understanding, but very few are willing to show their mouths, that is, they think that the old Taoist is originally the fool and fool, and he should add a false demon.

And what is intriguing is that although the elders of the past generations have already seen this step in three points, they still regard those few verses as the most precious thing without doubt, and always abide by the last precept of "not passing it on" - just think about it, think about it, but this will not be the kind of 'the world is impermanent, but would rather believe in its truth and believe in its existence', and or, or, or- this time I am afraid that it will be farther, let's go back to Ginkgo.

On the way back that day, she went to Aunt Qin Yanzhi's house alone, said something, and when she returned to Zhoujian, it was already dark. But she didn't stop, and called out Ge Jingui again, and ordered Wang Fan to send a letter, and went to find a few sisters to talk.

But he said that Wang Fan had received the letter here, but he was very puzzled for a while. Because Jin Gui entered the house, he said it clearly, but this letter was entrusted by his sister. But because it was in front of her brother, he didn't shy away from it, and he reached out to pick it up when he knocked on the envelope, but he didn't think about it, and he took out a red page; he was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and hurriedly stuffed it back. But he looked at Jin Gui, and saw that he didn't react at all - Jin Gui was very honest, and Ginkgo said not to let him see it, but he really didn't look at it.

After Jin Gui said goodbye and left, Wang Fancai went to open the envelope again. Shaking it, I saw that in addition to two red special certificates, there was also a note inside.

Wang Fan took a look and saw that it said:

"Two days later, the news spread, and you should have made a countermeasure. ”

When Wang Fan saw this, his heart immediately surged and his blood boiled -- speaking of this paragraph, how many moments did he get rid of all kinds of worries related to this? Moreover, these days he always intends to fill his whole time, or to do some work, or to read books, or to participate in the conversations of others, and he wants to use this to suppress the waves of troubles that come to him. It's just a sigh that these careful things, but they are all born from the bottom of the heart, how can he be eliminated by suppressing it for a while, as the so-called predecessors said, it is "only frowned, but it is on the heart".

-- Qin Yanzhi, the girl with whom he was a childhood sweetheart and whom he loved so much, but finally because of bad fate, he actually made an absurd covenant with others, and because of this, she was deeply helpless and miserable, and he was also in great pain, so much that he could not add more, but he wanted to find the invisible sword and cut off the love thread. But unexpectedly, this Qin Yanzhi became angry again, it was completely due to his own instinctive struggle, or was he a thoughtful and prepared counterattack against his own fate? Or did he just want to go to a few days? A marriage contract and a net to cut off the people of the past and the future! At this moment, even though he had the heart to sacrifice himself to help each other, he always felt that he could not reach out or throw his feet.

At present, it is a pity that there is this enthusiastic and fast-hearted ginkgo, and there is this Hong ginkgo biloba who thinks about it in vain and makes it on its own, and actually sends them a hot potato. Look, if you want to eat it, it will definitely be impossible to eat it for a while, and if you want to throw it, I'm afraid you won't be able to throw it away. Ginkgo, Ginkgo, look at your enthusiasm can light the wet firewood, and your courage is as strong as a good man, but have you ever thought about it, have you ever thought about it, you are going to push us to the top to take risks, and put us to death to survive. Moreover, and have you clearly considered the wishes and intentions of us, especially Qin Yanzhi, and you still want to limit this day or two, you are really-just seeing a rat coming. But he came to find out the news after a moment of hurry......

In front of Yu Erren, he was not so angry: "Look at the good things you two have done! I can tell you, you have to be responsible for what you take the lead in doing." ”

"You don't have to worry about this. If we have the courage to do it, we will have the amount to bear. This made the other party angry, and he was right.

"Do you have the guts? Can you handle it? Let me ask you first, did you both have a breeze with Yanzhi before you moved?"

"Not really. But when he returned, he told her as soon as possible. ”

"What good can it be for the first time on the way back? I have to ask, are you both sure that you can help her in this way, including me? In other words, can you really understand what Yanzhi is thinking about this paragraph?"

"I didn't care about it at first, but now I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, doesn't this greet you?"

"If a 'gesture' would solve the problem, I'd gladly accept it. But now it doesn't make any sense to talk about it at all. ”

"In your opinion, in reality, what should everyone do, and how should we do it?"

For a while, she looked like a doll who had done something wrong, and Wang Fan hesitated when she heard it. Yes, the big mistake has been made, how can we remedy it?

"Tell me, how did she react when you went to see Yeonzhi in the afternoon?"

"In the afternoon, it was Ginkgo biloba. However, I have already asked her, and said that when she went to see Yeonzhi, everyone was still talking and laughing at first, and when Ginkgo had passed the truth, she would say "thank you for your kindness" and thank you. I also listened to Ginkgo talk about the situation, and I began to realize that we were confused and impatient for a while——"

"It seems that the worries in my heart are not rootless and superfluous—"

"What do you mean by that?"

Here he pondered for a moment and said: "Look at this paragraph, everyone is almost silently looking forward to it, expecting Qin Yanzhi to dispel many concerns and bravely take the path of life that truly belongs to him, but everyone should also know that this requires too much determination and courage." Because it is, because it is, the choice between the happiness of the individual's life and the obligation to morality of the individual, etc., is not in the situation, and she will not feel the inexplicable difficulties and pains in the meantime, and she is deeply in such a torment at this moment!"

"That is to say, this is to say, the 'good intentions' I am waiting for may not only not help her, but may also trap her in a difficult and embarrassing place, right?"

That's true. You don't know her temperament, but she is a person who always takes integrity as his life and sees his personality higher than the sky, a girl. This time, if it weren't for the fact that his Hong family made a big sedan chair that greatly stimulated him, she would not have caused these things. Therefore, in reality, even if what this person can do is to wait quietly, wait for the opportunity, and then do something in time, but there is no reason to calm his mind by robbing the situation. ”

"Since it is reasonable, it is reasonable," said the gentleman after a moment of silence: "Why didn't you say it to us a moment earlier, so that it would be unexpected." But now that the matter is now discussed, this certificate has just been brought back, so won't you just call us tomorrow and then 'cancel' it again, right?"

Wang Fan said: "This is not appropriate. Wouldn't this hurt Qin Yanzhi even more? Because this matter has already involved me, and if I move the wind a little, it will be regarded as my point of view, and if I do that, wouldn't it be even more useless. After a while, he said, "Let's take a few days to see what happens." ”

"It's up to you. ”

Just say it. In the middle of the night, I just got up early on the second morning to wash up and think about something, but I heard heavy footsteps outside the house, and then I saw Hong Renxuan appear in the door of the front of the court like a mighty general.

Wang Fan understands that things are not good. "Uncle Xuan, what's going on this early morning?" he asked tentatively.

"Ask yourself. His sharp gaze locked on Wang Fan: "You told me, what are you going to do with this Qin Yanzhi?"

Wang Fan was stunned: "We, we registered our marriage." ”

"When is it?"

"Just yesterday, yesterday. ”

"Okay, that's good!"

"Xuanbo!"

"You kid, I didn't even think about it, behind your mouth full of morality and etiquette, you are also unbridled and arrogant. The corner of his mouth smiled coldly: "I'm afraid you have completely forgotten that there is still the word 'retribution' in this world!"

Wang Fan had to look at the other party in a daze.

"Aren't you quite able to observe things when you look for things? I'll tell you the truth, if I hadn't gotten the news earlier, I'm afraid that you would have been in a sea of fire inside and outside the gate. ”

Wang Fan was really bluffed for a while, "What's going on here, what's going on?" he only asked blankly.

"I see you're really confused! Sue you, I brought it to the baby, and now I am using three or four people to carry it. But he said crazy things, saying that in this future, if you don't die, he will die. Don't believe it, once this baby wants to be ruthless, there is nothing that can't be done. ”

"Let's make a way as soon as possible, hurry. He threw out another sentence at the end, and hurried back and forth.

Then I saw a rat coming over: "I'm going to say I'm sorry again!"

Wang Fan said fiercely: "I knew that it was a bad thing for you two again." Didn't we say it well yesterday, let's talk about this in a few days, and then talk about it in a few days. Why are you here to make trouble everywhere?"

"No, it's not. Xian'er hurriedly explained, "I went back last night, and I had a few discussions with Ginkgo, so we felt that since this matter was ironclad and could not be turned back, it was inevitable that we would have to pass the public mouth, so it would be better to delay one day than one day earlier, and it would save the big guy from panicking from time to time." What should come will come, and what will happen cannot be stopped. I just didn't think there was a brother like me, hey, don't mention him. In this paragraph, I have nothing to do, and I always like to look for him to chatter, and I feel that he has learned a lot of sensible and rational since that day. But I don't want to be stimulated this time, so I will commit the old spleen, and it is not as good as before; But at this point, I can't do anything, I think, you better think about avoiding it first. ”

"Where are you going to let me go?"

"He's just a reckless gourd, as long as you can avoid him and don't shake in front of his eyes, but for the sake of everything, for the sake of everything, you can choose to go out to work and come or something. Didn't this Yanzhi already say that she wanted to go out to work, so you can discuss with each other. ”

"That's all it, and it's all thanks to what you can imagine-"

At this time, Xiaoqin quietly walked in from outside, and glanced at her brother again. She was going to tell her brother that what she said was true, and for a while, they were afraid that it would be difficult to find another good way.

Wang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now I'm satisfied." Look, let's go and complain about you, everyone is really good for me and for both of us, I shouldn't be in love, I can't bear it. But I can see the truth, this good Wang Fan, a good me, just let your kind intentions be confused and involuntarily. That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it!"

Qian Er hesitated: "I won't say anything about this meaningless word." I said you don't have to complain so much about Ai Ai for a while. If you think about it, you will be able to earn a piece of the sky, a piece of your own sky, and a piece of sky that belongs to you, so why should you have to rest on the Dragon Continent? The sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish swim! Maybe if you can go out, you will be able to forge your great achievements in the future. Besides, besides, don't you keep saying that you are all about Yanzhi's betterness, do you think about it, in fact, everyone wants to do this, more for Qin Yanzhi's good. Everyone can't bear to see it, they can't bear to see it, there are so many poor girls, but they can let her go, and they will live in a kind of regret and pain for the rest of their lives. - You don't have to argue, and you don't care if you can help a little bit, everyone's heart is here. ”

A few words, but what a lot of enthusiasm and open-mindedness it shows, even if Wang Fan has all kinds of reasons for a while, all kinds of unwillingness, just with these words, it is enough to make him speechless and dumbfounded. "That's it, that's it. You can do whatever you want. I have also obeyed you, and I will not succeed if I don't follow you again. ”

At this time, Xiaoqin had already helped his brother pack some clothes out, but they were all in a handbag: "Let's go, let's hurry, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it along the way." ”

saw that the rat came up and grabbed Wang Fan, and everyone chose to look at the north and go to the crossing. But I saw it from afar, and I saw this Hong girl, Hong Ginkgo, she was lightly dressed and fluttering, and she had been at the ferry port for a long time. Xiaoqin hurriedly stepped forward and said something about her daughter's family. Ginkgo biloba walked to the place where Wang Fan took two steps in front of him.

"I think we've turned a corner, right?!Then I'm going to bless you in advance here!" she said with a smile.

Wang Fan said: "I have thanked everyone here." ”

"Just don't force you, I'll be happy. Ginkgo handed a note to Wang Fan: "Oh, this is what my father asked me to transfer to you, but it is the address number of my cousin's house in the provincial capital." My father is worried, if you are uncertain for a while, you can go to him, and he will be enthusiastic to help you. ”

Wang Fan took the note in his hand: "Thank you, please thank your father on my behalf!"

At this time, I saw that the small ferry boat on the other side had slowly rocked over, and I also scared away a few small water ducks by the shallow water in time.

Everyone was a little confused for a while. Although, although this is not a moment of passion, or life and death, the inseparable parting feeling in people's hearts is also hidden for a while, scattered all over the place, and the sense of mutual affection is getting stronger.

But the mouse finally endured it, pushed Wang Fan onto the bow of the boat, and immediately pushed the boat away.

I saw the small ferry swaying from side to side, and slowly sailed away from the riverbank, and everyone looked at each other on both sides, only to wave goodbye. didn't want Wang Fan to be alone on the bow of the boat, and his face was full of confusion and frustration for a while. The little ferry boat slowly rocked farther and farther, and he looked at the few consumers who refused to return, and then at the dragon-like island that was gradually disappearing, and suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, a pain that touched his soul.

I swear that I will strive to prove to the public and society the value of my personality and existence.

Do you just say goodbye in such a hurry, the new agricultural cooperative farming model that you have worked hard for a long time, and all kinds of vows and ideals?

How easy is it to say that everything has to be done all over again? And how many 'renew's can there be in a person's life?

Do you still have the possibility and opportunity to do it all over again, in this remote Xilong Continent, or in that far away and strange foreign land, can there still be such an opportunity--no one has caught a glimpse of it for a moment, just at this moment, at this same moment, it is behind him, under the oblique shadow of the ancient willow that is alone near the river, I saw a broad-faced old man actually look at the sky and take a long breath, and the bones of his whole body shook lightly, as if a boulder that had been pressing on his heart for a long time was finally destroyed and scattered, piece by piece into the ground.

"Go, go far away," he said with a secret laugh in his heart, "Heaven will punish those who go against the crowd, and those who act arbitrarily will destroy themselves-"

(End of Part I)
