Chapter 139: Sanniang Visits Mother
The moon viewing conference on August 15 caused a great storm in the Western Regions.
Luo Jing heard the most news about the Western Regions in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, which was the moon viewing conference.
He had heard many different versions of the rumors, and after carefully summarizing the similarities, he had roughly confirmed a few things.
The Moon Appreciation Conference was indeed some kind of conspiracy of the Soul Refining Sect.
It should be a trap launched by Ying Feihong, the lord of the Great Moon Country, with the Soul Refining Sect, wanting to use the Heavenly Demon Mask to lure the Heavenly Demon Descendants out.
And beforehand, the Soul Refining Sect should have deliberately leaked the news to the Central Plains side to know.
That's why there were so many Central Plains people at the moon viewing conference.
The three holy places and the Night Walking Division all sent people, and the one who finally won the mask of the Heavenly Demon was a young monk named Zhizhen.
This person is from the Brahma Pure Land, one of the three holy places, and is quite famous among the younger generation of disciples of the Brahma Pure Land.
He revealed his identity in the Western Regions, won the jackpot of the moon viewing conference, and took away the mask of the Heavenly Demon in an open manner.
He even slapped against Ying Feihong, the lord of the Great Moon Country, and his strength was unfathomable.
During this time, the fame of the Brahma Pure Land became famous, and the name of Zen Master Zhizhen even appeared frequently in the discussion of the people in the streets and alleys.
In this world, practitioners and ordinary people are closely related to their lives, and they are not separated from each other.
Those famous practitioners became the protagonists of various folk legends.
And Zen Master Zhizhen has been becoming famous recently.
But Luo Jing understood that this was the Soul Refining Sect's calamity.
Coming from the Western Regions, he understands the style of the Western Regions Demon Land too well.
Normally, with so many righteous path cultivators setting foot in the Western Regions, it would definitely arouse the hostility of the Soul Refining Sect.
Not to mention that this Zhizhen Zen Master took away the Heavenly Demon Heavenly Tool, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even get out of Dayue City.
Zen Master Zhizhen took away the Heavenly Demon Mask, and the target of the Heavenly Demon Descendants would naturally be transferred from the Western Regions and placed in the Central Plains.
In this way, Lu Li, a scourge that may cause trouble, will naturally leave the Western Regions and go to the Central Plains.
For the Soul Refining Sect, there was one less trouble.
And when this troublesome character arrives in the Central Plains, it will inevitably set off a disaster in the Central Plains court, killing multiple birds with one stone.
Ordinary people don't know about the conspiracy behind this scene, but Luo Jing, who was once caught in the center by the storm, can see it clearly.
Fortunately, at this time, he has stayed away from strife.
The temples and rivers and lakes have nothing to do with him.
Lingyun Immortal Sect did not have much involvement in this incident, and it basically did not affect him and Qing Xuan.
Luo Jing just wanted to practice silently and wait for the meeting with Qing Xuan.
In December, the wind was bitterly cold.
Luo Jing, who has been in Haiyan City for more than half a month, can be regarded as settling in the city.
Every day after work, he would go to a restaurant at the East Gate to stay for a while.
Although the husband and wife agreed on the fifteenth day of each month, Luo Jing would wait at the east gate.
But anyway, he has nothing to do every day, he is very leisurely, and waiting at the east gate does not affect anything.
And whenever Luo Jing sat by the window of the restaurant and drank and looked at the city gate not far away in a daze, a fairy dressed in white would appear beside him.
This mysterious and strange incarnation of the spirit is self-aware and will come on its own.
When Luo Jing was sitting by the window drinking and watching the east gate, the appearance of the fairy in white seemed to be a kind of companionship.
But she never spoke to Luo Jing.
Even a few times, Luo Jing wanted to talk to her, but what he got was a wordless silence.
It's just that these days, the eyes of the fairy in white looking at him are no longer as hostile and indifferent as they were at the beginning.
Occasionally, in the corner of his eye, he could even see the complex emotions surging in the eyes of the fairy in white.
Seems a little strange.
While Luo Jing was waiting for Qing Xuan, the fairy in white was also looking at him.
The story of Zen Master Zhizhen, on the day when the storyteller processed and hyped it up according to the rumors in the restaurant, she was even stunned and stood there for a long time without moving.
Luo Jing felt curious, could it be that this divine soul incarnation would still listen to stories?
But only that time, and later the storyteller told all kinds of wonderful stories, and the fairy in white no longer reacted.
It's just that the way she looked at Luo Jing became extremely complicated.
On the first day of December, the sun was shining and the wind was cold.
The warm winter sun can't drive away the cold between heaven and earth.
Luo Jing walked into the restaurant as always, sitting by the window on the second floor and waiting.
Today, he specially asked for leave and did not go to work in Tianshuge.
Because of his agreement with Qing Xuan, he waited at the east gate on the first and fifteenth days of each month.
The original plan of the two was that Luo Jing would arrive in Haiyan City at the end of November.
Therefore, if Qing Xuan had gone down the mountain early, he would have come to the East Gate to look for Luo Jing on the first day of December.
As soon as the sun came out in the early morning, Luo Jing walked out of the house and came to the east gate to wait.
He didn't practice all night.
The imminent arrival of the first year of junior high made him fall into a certain anxious expectation, eager to see Qing Xuan.
He even wished that he could make time jump to the first day of December, so that he could skip the torment of waiting.
Luo Jing, who was sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, kept his eyes on the direction of the city gate, looking at everyone who walked into the city gate, trying to find out Qing Xuan's figure.
The junior of the restaurant was already familiar with this patron, after all, Luo Jing came every day, so they didn't come to disturb Luo Jing.
The morning sun sprinkled on the east gate of Haiyan City, gilding all things in heaven and earth with layers of surging golden light.
The sunny and good weather seems to be a sign that Luo Jing is about to meet his wife and usher in a happy ending.
Luo Jing was in a good mood.
He looked at the white-clothed fairy on the side and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?" Haven't you heard the story of Sanniang's visit to your mother several times? Why is there such a big reaction this time? ”
The fairy dressed in white stood quietly not far away, still keeping a subtle distance from him.
But today's fairy in white is particularly wrong.
She looked at Luo Jing with complicated eyes, her eyebrows were lowered, and the corners of her mouth were pursed, as if she was in some kind of sad and melancholy mood.
The storyteller not far away is telling a rather sad story in a low voice - Sanniang's visit to her mother.
This story has been widely circulated in the Central Plains.
It is about a rebellious woman who ran away from home after turning against her parents, experienced many hardships outside, and finally escaped back to her mother's house, saw her gentle mother, and finally felt the warmth of home, crying bitterly.
However, after one night, when it was dawn, the woman realized that her mother had long since died, and all she had seen last night was her ghost.
The mother just couldn't let her go, and she couldn't rest in peace after she died, so she waited at home to see her daughter for the last time.
In the end, the rebellious daughter is finally sensible and mature, but she is forever separated from her mother.
This sad story is widely circulated and is one of the storyteller's classics.
But today's fairy in white seems to be immersed in that story, and that kind of sad and melancholy look makes Luo Jing care.
