Chapter 44: Something Is There
In front of the Qianyang Palace, visitors are weaving. Recently, I don't know why, there are many places in [Qianyang Palace] that are not allowed to go, so there are obviously fewer tourists who have come to [Qianyang Palace] to play recently. The little monk in white stood on the wide bluestone slab, holding a big broom in his hand, a little melancholy, didn't he say that the boy didn't know what it was like to be sad? Why am I so sad now? Am I no longer a teenager? No, I'm not yet ten years old. The little monk in white sighed, hung his head, looked at the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, leaned his chin on the handle of the broom, and watched the people come and go boredly.
In his sleep, hazy, he seemed to see Senior Brother Xu, as well as Senior Brother Xu's master, that is, his own master, and he also saw a woman in white, she was standing in the distance, slowly dancing the sword. Not far away, Uncle Zhang and a woman who was not very familiar were standing together, they were holding hands, some familiar and some unfamiliar. I don't know why, it's such a beautiful picture, but the little monk in white cried.
In the main hall, the Buddha statue is solemn. Lin Futian sat in the middle of the main hall, his heart like water. Luo Mei leaned closer and asked quietly, "Tiantian, I find that you are really getting less and less anxious now." Lin Futian leaned back, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "What do you say?" Luo Mei lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down, and asked, "Aren't you going to the [Zhenling Mountain] in the middle of the country?" Lin Futian nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Luo Mei put her arms on her knees, pillowed her face on her wrists, and looked at Lin Futian, "Then why aren't you in a hurry at all, didn't you say, well, if you miss the time, you won't be able to get to that place?" Lin Futian looked at the top of the main hall, "Yes, but don't be in a hurry now." Luo Mei asked, "Why?" Lin Futian smiled, "It's still too late." "Oh. Luo Mei also looked at the top of the main hall, his thoughts drifting away.
In the splendid hall, Lin Futian and Luo Mei looked at the top of the empty hall, thinking about their own thoughts.
Meixi Lake.
The boat is swinging, rippling a circle of the past, the two "match made in heaven" back then, and the most familiar strangers now. Zhang Sheng looked at Cui Yingying who was sitting on the other side of the boat, his eyes were complicated, he sighed, his eyes lowered, his fingers rubbed, stretched and closed.
He finally raised his head to look at the woman who should have hated him to the bone, and his voice trembled a little, "You...... Do you hate me?" Cui Yingying sat on the side of the boat and raised her head to look at the slowly falling sun, her eyes were gentle, she gently folded her hands, moved her position, looked at the surface of Meixi Lake, and turned her back to the deputy palace master of the [Qianyang Palace] whose real name was "Zhang Sheng", she slowly spoke: "Do you hate you? Actually, I have never thought about this question, so if you ask me now whether I hate you, I have no answer." ”
Zhang Sheng sighed, he looked at her back, his vision was hazy, the boat was slowly moving forward, and in his eyes, she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
Back then, she looked at him like this.
It's just that the two of them are more calm now.
Zhang Sheng suddenly stretched out his right hand, put his fingers together, and pressed the two fingers on the two scars on his face, from top to bottom, stirring up brilliant sparks between his fingers and the skin of his face.
Stabbing.
Zhang Sheng put away his fingers, trembling slightly, his face had recovered as before, the two terrifying scars had disappeared, he exhaled a long breath, and then his skin began to harden, his body slowly bulged, and finally changed into a stone man.
It turns out that this Zhang Sheng is not a human race.
Zhang Sheng hesitated for a moment, and softly called out to Cui Yingying, who was sitting on the other side of the boat. Cui Yingying turned her head slowly, her expression didn't seem to be as surprised as Zhang Sheng imagined, but her eyes were a little red.
Zhang Sheng saw Cui Yingying's reaction, and his heart was clear, he sighed, propped his hands on the boat, looked at the ground, and didn't dare to look directly into Cui Yingying's eyes. "You already knew?" Zhang Sheng hesitated, but still asked.
Cui Yingying nodded, "Hmm." She bit her lip and raised and lowered her right hand.
Zhang Sheng suddenly raised his head and laughed, but tears flowed out unconsciously, since he can remember, this should be the second time he has cried.
The first time was when he and she were separated. And for others, it's this time.
"I'm really stupid, what the hell have I done, this ...... What the have I done over the years......" Zhang Sheng's expression was pained, and he kept hammering his chest with his fists. Cui Yingying's eyes were gentle, and she wiped away her tears, "Yes, what did you do?"
Back then, Zhang Sheng, as a Shiren clan, fell in love with a human woman, which was a taboo in the Shiren clan, because of some hidden inheritances in the Shiren clan, so basically the Shiren clan did not allow intermarriage between clansmen and foreigners.
But what about love? It's never about "rules."
Zhang Sheng fell in love with Cui Yingying, and it was love at first sight, which is the best proof.
Cui Yingying is the daughter of a big family, and the two met at that time, fell in love at first sight, and admired each other. The patriarch of the Cui family saw that the two were in love, and he agreed to this marriage, but there was only one condition: that is, Zhang Sheng was needed to gain fame, and only in this way would he agree to marry his daughter to this young man who didn't know how to follow. The Cui family, as a big family of Luo Shuiguo, and a big family of civil officials and important ministers of Luo Shuiguo, naturally would not marry their daughter to a stunned young man who did not even have fame.
But as a Shiren clan, Zhang Sheng only temporarily transformed into a human being, and has not been exposed to the education of human society, how can he gain fame?
So he thought of a way, that is: to find the legendary [Huasheng Liquid], only with this, his thinking can be similar to that of humans, and with his own cultivation, it is naturally not a problem to familiarize himself with a few Confucian classics, the most important thing is to really change into a human being, and stay with Cui Yingying.
Because Cui Yingying is just an ordinary person who can't cultivate, this is actually nothing special, everything can be cultivated, but there will be people who can't cultivate, after all, there are so many spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and it can't be divided up by so many people at will, so under the system of this world, there will naturally be so-called "ordinary people" and people who can cultivate.
And Zhang Sheng used this [Huasheng liquid], naturally he gave up his long life and chose a short hundred years in the world, just to stay with Cui Yingying.
Growing old together seems a bit of a luxury for a cultivator.
Later, Zhang Sheng finally learned from where he learned that Luo Shui Guo had the legendary [Huasheng Liquid], which could temporarily change the race. How could Zhang Sheng miss this kind of unattainable thing, so he decided to find the legendary [Huasheng Liquid].
When he left, he hesitated, and now that he looks back, he regrets it a little.
still remembers that day, she cried and said that she didn't have to marry someone who had gained fame, and wanted to elope with Zhang Sheng, with a resolute attitude and sincere feelings. He has his own unspeakable secrets, so he seems a little ruthless.
The matter of race cannot be changed by himself, and this kind of thing needs to be handed over to time.
In the end, he just said to let her wait for him for three years. Three years later, he will definitely achieve fame and come back to marry her back in style.
On that day, the good weather that was originally clear and cloudless was inexplicably cloudy, and heavy rain began to fall. In the pouring rain, he said to her, "You must wait for me!" and she just stood there and nodded silently.
Who knows, what was originally thought to be a three-year separation slowly turned into a ten-year incommunicade.
Later, the rumors reached the woman's ears, and she was a little sad, but she was still waiting for someone at the door of the house every time.
As for him, he is a little painful, because he has been used by people with intentions without knowing it.
Later, he was ordered to go to the [Qianyang Palace], in order to stay by the side of the national teacher, and pass information to the emperor at any time. All he asked for was the [Huasheng Liquid] that the emperor promised him, and for the sake of the [Huasheng Liquid], he did many wrong things, good deeds with a purpose. Slowly, he cultivated to become the deputy palace master of the [Qianyang Palace].
That's pretty remarkable.
But for Zhang Sheng, the [Huasheng Liquid] that only had one side of the relationship made him give up a lot and suffer too much.
Zhang Sheng was full of thoughts, and looked at Cui Yingying, who was sitting on the bow of the boat without saying a word, not knowing what to say. Cui Yingying turned around and looked directly into Zhang Sheng's eyes, his eyes were a little evasive.
"Your eyes...... Much has changed. She said.
"Actually, I've been waiting for you. Cui Yingying said. "I just didn't expect it to be ten years. She laughed miserably.
Zhang Sheng was about to say something, but Cui Yingying had already spoken: "Don't say anything I'm sorry for, you don't have anything to be sorry for me." She paused, "You're just sorry for us who were in love at the time." It's nothing, it's all gone. ”
He was speechless, and said with difficulty: "Not yet...... It's not past yet. She looked at him quietly, as if waiting for him to continue. So he stood up, folded his hands, and began to shine with golden light, and he closed his eyes, as if he had suddenly figured out a lot of things that he had not figured out all these years, and he smiled.
On Meixi Lake.
With the boat as the center, the flowers and trees within a radius of 100 miles grew an inch taller, and then this "small circle" slowly expanded, gradually expanding to the scope of Luo Shui Kingdom, and then stopped moving.
Although it was a little late to make up for the world, it was fortunately not too late.
That's fine.
Cui Yingying looked at this strange man she hadn't seen for ten years, and looked at his smile when she looked at her like she did back then, her eyes were inexplicably red.
Time has passed, and some things have been left there and not touched.
——————————————————————————————
Outside the main hall.
Lin Futian and Luo Mei stood side by side, looking at the colorful glow that seemed to be burned red by fire.
On the white jade plate outside the main hall, Mo Yunfu and Zhao Jingzhi stopped their movements at the same time, and they looked at each other, a little surprised.
The white-clothed monk "Hongyi", who was sweeping the floor, suddenly threw the broom in his hand aside, and began to run down the mountain like crazy, tears coming out of his eyes. This caused the tourists who were walking up to look sideways, and they were a little strange, how could the dull-looking monk "Hongyi" in the past suddenly make such a move? Only a young child holding a candy figure suddenly stopped in place and looked at the little monk in white running down the mountain.
He wiped away tears from his eyes, too. I don't know why?
