Chapter 55: Afterword
After some warm storage of fish and water, Murong Jiu fell asleep on Lu Qing's arm.
Lu Qing looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and infinite tenderness swelled in her heart.
There was even a moment when he wished that time could stop forever and that he could be by her side forever.
But he soon let go of this childish idea.
What he wants is not a small reunion for a moment, but the infinite companionship of a lifetime of eternal life.
Only by transcending the cycle of life and death can we achieve true freedom and reunion.
Comfortable, not freewheeling.
Doing what you want is just a slave to desire, in fact, you can't even control yourself, let alone be at ease.
True freedom is no restraint, no confusion, no life and death, no worries, no worries.
Lu Qing temporarily put aside those complicated thoughts and fell into a good dream with the sleeping Murong Jiu in his arms.
....................................................
The next day, Lu Qing got up early, while Murong Jiu curled up in the quilt like a little lazy cat and dreamed well.
Fortunately, she doesn't have to give morning tea to her in-laws, and it's okay to sleep lazily.
Lu Qing walked out of the house lightly and came to his small kitchen, ready to make breakfast for the little lazy cat.
After a period of busy work, a hot breakfast was made, and Lu Qing called up the little wife who was still lying in bed.
"If you don't get out of bed, the sun will burn your butt." Lu Qing joked.
Murong Jiu snorted, poked his head out of the thin quilt, and said coquettishly: "You go out first, I want to change my clothes." ”
"Okay, you dressed yourself and came out to eat."
Lu Qing knew that she was a little shy, so she didn't continue to joke, and turned around and went out.
Soon, Murong Jiu, who had freshened up, opened the door.
She changed into a pale green dress again, which looked lively and smart.
After breakfast, the two went to greet Mrs. God, and met a few sisters, and then held hands and returned to the small courtyard.
None of them knew when they would be separated, so they cherished the time they were excessing.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wujian also came to bid farewell to Lu Qing.
They each have their own ideas, and Xiao Yu'er wants to take Su Ying to continue to wander the rivers and lakes to play all kinds of fun things in the world.
And Hua Wujian wanted to take Tie Xinlan to find her father Tie Zhan, and then no longer bothered about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
Although the two brothers have their own ideas, it does not affect their brotherhood, because no matter where they are, as long as they think of each other, they will always be together.
After Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuqian left, Yan Nantian also left, and he also had to take Zhang Sanniang away from the rivers and lakes.
Although his sword is a sword to eliminate evil, it is still a mortal sword after all, and it cannot withstand the ravages of time.
He has been in the Valley of the Wicked for eighteen years, and he already owes so much to his beloved that he doesn't want to continue to owe it any longer.
And he is also getting old, the future rivers and lakes are still young people's rivers and lakes after all, if the rivers and lakes are all these old guys fighting and killing, then this rivers and lakes will inevitably be too lifeless.
The little fairy and Gu Renyu also left, as if they were rushing to prepare for the marriage of the two.
Those strange old urchins also left, because they already knew that what Tie Zhan said was right, and their martial arts were indeed inferior to Ying Yue and Yan Nantian.
What's more, with people like Lu Qing, there is no point in them fighting for those.
But they don't want to go back overseas to continue their seclusion, but want to stay in the colorful world and feel the warmth in this red dust.
After a few more days, the others also left one after another, and Murong Villa was deserted again.
But all this has nothing to do with Lu Qing and Murong Jiu, because the two just want to stay together for a while now, and they don't want to care about how the outside world is.
"So, you're not actually from this world?" Murong Jiu said in surprise.
Just now, Lu Qing told her about her past experience, and also told her a shocking secret, that is, her husband, Lu Daxian, who has great magical powers, is actually not from this world, but "crossed" from another world.
Although it was the first time she had heard the word "crossing", she could immediately understand what it meant.
Because Lu Qing had mentioned the concept of the immeasurable world when he explained Buddhism to her in the past.
It's just that at that time, she thought that it was really a proposition and a concept of Buddhism, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"So you're going to go to other worlds in the future, right?" Murong Jiu said while lying in Lu Qing's arms.
Lu Qing nodded and replied, "Yes, I don't know what the logic behind this matter is, so I can't control the time I leave." ”
"Then will you meet other girls in the future, girls who are more beautiful and more pleasing to you than me?" Murong Jiu asked with a pout.
"No, it won't." Lu Qing hugged his little wife and said softly: "There will never be anyone I like more than you." ”
"Then you remember." Murong Jiu pouted and pretended to be threatening: "If I let me know that you like other girls in the future, I will kill you first, and then kill myself." ”
When Lu Qing heard this, he once again assured his little wife: "Don't worry, it will never be." ”
One heart for one heart, Murong Jiu treats him sincerely, he naturally can't be a two-hearted person.
One life for a lifetime, this is his promise.
"In other words, those legendary immortals who soared into the sun are not legends, but really went to other worlds?" Murong Jiu asked again.
Lu Qing replied after groaning, "Maybe that's the case." ”
Before this, Lu Qing was not sure whether those legends were true or false, but since the Dragon and Tiger Mountain and his party, the Heavenly Master told him Zhang Daoling's prophecy, he felt that these legendary immortals who rose in the day might be true.
"Then if I also set foot on the immortal path, will I meet in some other world in the future?"
Murong Jiu thought so.
"If there is fate, it will be." Lu Qing replied: "Although there are countless immeasurable worlds, each world is unique. ”
"That's good." Murong Jiu smiled, "Then I can meet you sooner or later." ”
"So you have to cultivate hard." Lu Qing said.
"Hmph, you should cultivate hard, don't ask me to save you when the time comes!" Murong Jiu said unconvinced.
"If that day exists, I'd be glad it did." Lu Qing said with a smile.
Because that means that she has walked out of a road to heaven and can go all the way to the infinite future with herself.
"Let's go! Let's go out for a walk again, go as far as we can, and it's better to go all over the world! Murong Jiu said happily.
She doesn't like to be miserable and miserable, even if she is separated, she must be happy, and she must be full of hope for reunion.
In the following months, the two traveled all the way, walked thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, saw the sun rise and the moon set, and spent a warm and unforgettable time for the two.
One night a few months later, Lu Qing suddenly felt something in his heart and smiled at Murong Jiu beside him.
Murong Jiu knew that he was leaving.
Although she had known that there would be such a day, and she had been persuading herself to accept it, she still couldn't hold back her tears when it came to the end.
Lu Qing reached out and stroked her warm cheeks, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and then turned into a little streamer and dissipated between heaven and earth.
