Chapter 66
Ren Zifei was puzzled: "But why don't you see other immortals?" ”
Lover: "It's just me and you here, don't you want to?" ”
Ren Zifei said: "I am naturally willing, how big is here?" ”
Lover: "Infinity! ”
The two flew into a wood, and landed on the ground, and saw that it was a green field, and there was a fine courtyard, and there were several wooden houses, and in front of the courtyard there was a small stream, and the stream flowed gurglingly, and there was a wooden bridge over it.
On this side of the bridge is a meadow, and some sheep are grazing.
The lover pointed to the courtyard and said, "This is our home." ”
The two entered the courtyard and entered the wooden house, which was simply furnished, but elegant and fragrant.
Lover: "From now on we will stay here, forever and ever, are you willing?" ”
Ren Zifei said: "I am willing!" ”
Lover: "We are married, would you like to?" ”
Ren Zifei said eagerly: "I am willing, I am very willing!" ”
The lover smiled gracefully, and with a wave of his hand, the wooden house became a wedding room, with a red bed curtain, a scarlet carpet, colorful flowers, on the walls, on the window paper, pasted with the big red word of happiness, two red candles spontaneously combusted without fire, and beautiful music sounded.
There were no witnesses, no high hall to attend, no relatives and friends to cheer up, and the two held a simple but chic wedding in a wooden house.
Since then, the two have lived happily together, without men farming and weaving, without firewood, rice, oil and salt, as if the two do not need to eat, do not need all worldly things, and have only romantic love.
I don't know how many days, how many months, how many years, day after day, year after year, Ren Zifei really feels that the years are passing, but he and his lover have never been old, their faces are still the same, and their love is still the same.
Ren Zifei asked his lover: "Why aren't we old?" ”
Lover: "I said it, eternal life and eternity!" ”
Ren Zifei said: "Then what do we have to do?" ”
Lover: "We don't have to do anything, just love each other seriously, don't you want to?" ”
Ren Zifei said: "I am willing!" ”
In the beginning, I don't know how many years, the two lived happily, they didn't think about anything, they just fell in love with each other seriously, and slowly Ren Zifei felt that it was starting to be boring, mainly because there were still many things in his heart.
How is Grandpa's health?
Has the Demon Path been eradicated?
Is Uncle Yan's madness cured?
He found a huge rock in the back mountain of his residence, the huge rock is so big that he can't see the end at a glance, one end leads to this end of the sky, and the other end leads to the other end of the sky, standing between heaven and earth, like a barrier separating the two worlds, so strictly speaking, it should be a stone wall.
The surface of the stone wall is as smooth as a stone, like a black-green mirror.
Ren Zifei asked his lover: "What's behind the stone wall?" ”
Lover: "It's another world. ”
Ren Zifei said: "What kind of world is that?" ”
Love humanity: "In short, it has nothing to do with us, our world is infinitely large, infinitely beautiful, there are no natural disasters, no disasters, no diseases, wars, famines, sufferings, always four seasons like spring, no wind, rain, snow and frost, no severe cold, why yearn for the world over there?" ”
Ren Zifei sighed, and then stopped talking.
He wanted to carve words on the stone wall, but the iron sword was left in the stone path of Tongtian Island, and he could only pick up small stones to carve.
Starting from a certain day, every time the sun rises, he carves a mark on the stone wall, thirty times, a month, a month, a year, and sometimes a boulder to record some bits and pieces with his lover.
Suddenly, one day, he found that he and his lover had been here for a thousand years, and the carved marks were densely covered with the surface of the stone wall.
He asked his lover, "Can we go into that world?" ”
"That world is full of diseases, wars, famines, misery, swords and swords, bloody wind and rain, wild beasts are rampant, bones are exposed, houses are collapsed, and the countryside is barren, are you sure you want to go?" ”
Ren Zifei said: "Isn't that the world we used to be in?" ”
"Exactly, it's hell on earth, it's heaven on earth." ”
Ren Zifei became excited, with an unstable emotion suppressed in his chest, and said, "So, is there still a rampant demon path over there, and the people are displaced?" ”
Lover: "Exactly, since you have become an immortal, don't care about things over there." ”
Ren Zifei said solemnly: "If you can't relieve the suffering of the people, what good is it to become an immortal?" ”
Lover: "When you first wanted to become an immortal, didn't you just want to escape from that world of suffering? ”
Ren Zifei was dumbfounded, did he make a wrong decision from the beginning?
Not only yourself, but all those who want to become immortals, don't they all want to enjoy the prosperity of fairyland?
Isn't the current life what you are striving for?
But why do you always feel like something is missing?
What exactly do I want?
Ren Zifei made a decision and said, "Lover, I want to go back over there, do you have a way?" ”
Love humanity: "There is no trust between people over there, there is no affection, only deception, only interests, there are your enemies and enemies, you have to face the painful choice of killing and being killed at any time, and you have to bear all the risks of birth, old age, sickness and death, are you really willing?" ”
Ren Zifei said: "I am willing!" Maybe I'm really wrong, I was wrong from the beginning, being born as a human being, whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, is the duty of human beings, out of birth, old age, sickness and death, I will lose the joy of living, love, I think about it, I want to go back! ”
The lover was quite sad and wept: "But when you go over there, you will never see me again, are you really willing?" ”
Ren Zifei said: "Can't you go back with me?" ”
Lover: "No, since you want to choose that side, you can't take any person or thing with you here." ”
Ren Zifei felt a contradiction in his heart, but after some painful struggle, he still said ruthlessly: "Since I can't have both, I can only give up here." ”
The lover choked up and said, "Do you even have to give up on me?" What was your original desire? ”
Ren Zifei shook his head painfully, and said: "I don't know, after meeting you on the coast of the East China Sea that year, I met in a hurry, and I was separated by a world, I thought about you for a long time, and when I became an adult, I knew that this is called love, and when I heard that others were married, I naturally thought of marrying you as a wife, staying with you for life, never giving up, I can give up everything for you, but now, I think, I am still nostalgic for the people and things over there, the people over there are still suffering, I want to change all this." ”
Love humanity: "Everyone has a selfish heart, and you can't change it by yourself." ”
Ren Zifei said: "It's as much as you can change, just do your best." When I was in the Immortal Station, I suffered all kinds of hardships, and I always hoped that someone would stand up for me and get me out of the predicament, and now I have come out of the predicament, but I always want to save other people. ”
The lover wiped his tears and said gloomily: "Okay, I promise you, you go, maybe you need you more over there, and you need that side more, but one thing you have to be clear, if you go back there, you will never come back here." You may be able to attain enlightenment, but you can't live forever, and sooner or later you won't be able to escape the cycle of life and death. You may marry the woman you want, but you will never find the person you love the most, because that person will stay here forever and die alone. ”
Ren Zifei's heart is spasmodic, why do you have to make such a difficult choice in the world?
After a while, Ren Zifei said: "Can I call you Sister Qingya again?" ”
The lover nodded tearfully.
Ren Zifei snorted softly: "Sister Qingya." ”
The lover snorted.
The two figures hugged each other and couldn't be separated for a long time.
Finally, Ren Zifei let go of his lover and said, "Then I'll go." ”
The lover nodded his head and rested his hands on the stone wall, and suddenly white light shrouded the heavens and the earth, and the stone wall also became a dazzling light curtain.
The lover had tears in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "You go, go out of here, and it will be that world." ”
Ren Zifei nodded, glanced at his lover affectionately, and slowly walked into the light curtain.
His body slowly faded, his lover became farther and farther away from him, and stretched out his hand to him, and the white light shone on her tearful face, and I will never see her again, and she will die alone here from now on.
Suddenly, Ren Zifei turned his head and wanted to pull that hand, the hand that had pulled him back from the brink of death many times, why couldn't he give up everything for her.
However, the lover was finally vanished by the white light, and Ren Zifei finally walked out of the light curtain, looked around, and returned to the stone path, where Qingliu stood in front of him.
Qingliu walked over, picked up the iron sword that his lover had thrown away from Ren Zifei's back, and handed it to Ren Zifei.
Ren Zifei only felt a moment of loss, he didn't know whether it was true or false, virtual or real that he had been with his lover for a thousand years, but those scenes were still vivid, and he clearly felt the heaviness of the years, and he seemed to have changed from a young man to a dying old man who had experienced vicissitudes.
A thousand years of time, every sunrise and sunset, every detail, every bits and pieces, every moment, are collected little by little, and they are so real.
So in other words, Xu Qingya will really stay there forever and die alone.
When I think of this, I can't help but feel sad and hate myself for being ungrateful.
Before I knew it, I was already in tears.
Qingliu said uneasily: "Ren Jushi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ren Zifei smiled to himself, stretched out his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face, and said, "It's nothing, let's go." ”
The two continued along the stone path.
The originally dark and damp stone path gradually became brighter, the humidity receded, the warm current hit, and the corpses of the bats on the ground gradually decreased, and finally disappeared, revealing the bluestone slabs below.
The natural uneven stone walls on both sides of the stone path and at the top have also been smoothed out, apparently by man.
After a few more walks, I saw a golden door at the end of the stone path.
Qingliu stopped, pointed to the door, and said: "Ren Jushi, that's your home, you can go by yourself, Qingliu said goodbye." ”
With that, he turned around and walked in the direction he came.
A turn, gone.
