Chapter Thirty-Seven
In the deep valley, a figure has long been adapted to be with the darkness, the light and shadow mottled by the sun falling through the gaps in the trees is the most beautiful color for him, plain, real, faint and warm, the most nostalgic, the sun always has an invisible power, guiding people to hope.
Because he grew up in Zichen since he was a child, he has always been very close to the mountain, "The master teaches that those who practice pay attention to fate, and this mountain is in front of it, blocking the way, it is also fate." "According to what the master said, when he goes to the west, he only cares about the west, and when he encounters the mountains, he prefers to go in the mountains.
The mountains of Zichen are full of vitality, sunshine and rain have always been abundant, so most of the vegetation is also lush, full, plump, and beautiful, but here there is a kind of sadness, in this rare winter day with warm sunshine, the light seems dark and cold, like hiding a sad past that is most unwilling to be exposed in front of the world, giving birth to a phantom that captures people's hearts, guiding people to enter the darkness.
This mountain is too quiet, even if the weather is cold, but there is no wind, and there is warm sun, but there is no small animal active in the mountain, the strange rocks in the mountain are craggy, but it is a little scary, Yun Lonely never knew that there is such a mountain in the world, the mountains in his impression are all with benevolent character, everywhere can be seen the footprints of life, there has never been such an abrupt shape and cold tone.
Years of living alone in this silent mountain allowed him to practice the sense of hearing the wind and the dew, as long as it was an unusual sound in the mountains breaking into the outside world, he could hear it clearly, at this moment his heart suddenly jumped to his throat, he didn't say anything for a long time, but he still spit out a vague word: "...... people"
How he wished that she appeared, and how he feared that he would appear in front of her, but his consciousness clearly told him that the steadiness of this step was not that of a woman, and that the man who came should have strayed into the mountain, but that there was no living creature in the mountain except flowers and trees, and that this man must not be the one who had come to hunt.
But he still had a trace of residual thoughts in his heart, "I don't know if she's doing well, maybe...... Maybe this person will see her, or maybe ...... Perhaps he was the one she asked to come and find me. He chuckled wryly, "Or maybe...... She is long gone, not ...... No, she must still be waiting for me......"
He was rickety, standing under the rocks that blocked the sun, looking like a petrified monkey from a distance, and this monkey happened to enter the eyes of the flowing fire, he was shocked to realize that he had been exposed to the eyes of "people", and escaping was the only way at the moment, although his heart was eager to hear from a stranger to hear her news, this slim to almost impossible hope, but let him have an infinite fear in his heart, afraid that he would not hear her news, and even more afraid to hear the news that she was no longer in the world, Maybe she will never know, then she will live forever......
"That's ...... There are people in this mountain. ”
Drifting Fire Cloud Silence quickly chased over, although the person was thin, but the body was very agile, but Flowing Fire Cloud Silence was an extraordinary person, even if he didn't use spells, the speed was faster than ordinary people, seeing Flowing Fire Cloud Silence chasing after him, his heart was a little flustered, he knew that there was a deep cave ahead, and the cave was his residence, and there would be nowhere to escape when he entered the cave, but if he didn't enter the cave, he could only pass through the woods and be exposed to the sun, or he would catch up and catch him red-handed.
He slowed down, his eyes mournful, condensed at his feet, but his heart was full of sorrow.
For some reason, his footsteps slowed down unconsciously, he noticed that his thin body was trembling in the wind, and he suddenly regretted it, "He doesn't want to be discovered, he must have had his last resort, it seems that he shouldn't have chased him in the first place." ”
"Young man......" He turned around slowly, the traces left by the wind and frost on his face covered most of his emotions for him, only the old man could see clearly, he had never seen such an old person, this kind of old age is not only the mark of time, but also the curse of fate.
"Young man......" he paused, then thoughtfully, and finally asked timidly, "is she...... Did you come here? ”
Flowing Fire Cloud Silence didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, and shook his head, which seemed to be expected by him, he let out an "oh" sound, nodded slightly, and a little starlight flashed in his eyes, like a meteor piercing the night sky, and the tranquility after the beautiful fall into the void, it was a kind of disappointment, and the despair that had already fallen into the cold, should have been desperate, because he had long been used to the night sky.
Suddenly he realized something, and his unskilled lie made his words a little confused, "Yes...... Someone called me to come and take a look...... Mountain ......"
"What ......" The old man's night sky was torn apart, a little unbelievable, although he didn't quite know the meaning of the words of the Flowing Fire Cloud, and his heart had already made an analysis for him, he could only associate all the words with her, for so many years, he had never forgotten only her, and he could only remember her.
"She's still alive? How are you doing? ”
She ...... Very good......"
"Very good...... That'...... good" A smile finally appeared on his face, as bright as the morning and as bright as the evening. It turns out that even if he is old, his heart has never been defeated, and his heart is still full of bright sunshine tomorrow.
"Young man, she...... Did you ask you to bring anything to me? ”
"Words...... She said...... To cherish the good life of the seniors...... Don't worry too much about ......"
He smiled and shook his head, "Young man, you haven't seen her, have you?" ”
"I ......"
"If she has something to say, she will inevitably say, 'Xi'er is waiting for you', in the past, every time I went out, when parting, she would always say this, and before we separated, this is also each other's agreement, the agreement will never be negative, waiting for each other, I have been waiting...... One day, she can call me 'Brother Chaoyang' again! ”
"I'm sorry ......"
"I should thank you for being the first to speak to me since I was convicted and imprisoned in this deep forest."
"Imprisoned in this deep forest? Why is that? Since I can come in this forest, why can't my predecessors get out? When I came, I didn't see anyone guarding, so my seniors just went out with confidence. ”
He looked up at the sky and sighed, "It's the heavens that want to punish us, brother and sister fall in love, heaven and earth don't allow it, this situation should be punished, and we don't even have the chance to die together, Xi'er's face is ruined, not old but ugly, and I instantly become old, old but not dead, and can never feel the temperature of the sun, once it is irradiated by the sun, it can only turn into ashes." ”
Since returning from the realm of eternal life, the "...... of the Heavenly Realm" has once again deeply realized the benevolence of the Heavenly Realm, and he is even extremely kind to mortals.
"Young man, do you also think that we brothers and sisters should not love each other?"
"Do seniors hate the Heavenly Realm?"
"I don't hate, because I know that the love between me and Xi'er shouldn't exist in the first place, if the heavenly realm tolerates this relationship, then the order of the Six Realms will be lost, and the outline of people will always be gone, but my brother and sister have been dependent on each other since childhood, without father and mother, and the world doesn't even give us a chance to spurn us, where will anyone pay attention to this relationship between me and Xi'er's sister, heh...... So I never thought that the consequences would be so serious, that I would be punished by God, I have always only wanted to protect my sister and make her happy, but I did not expect to bring her the pain of life and parting, death without reunion, if I knew, I would not have made a big mistake in a single thought, this is my regret...... But I have no regrets about being able to tacitly keep my promise with Sister Xi'er and keep my promise for a lifetime. ”
"Although Yun Lin doesn't know much about love, Yun Lin believes that there is no wrong love between heaven and earth, only wrong hate, and the predecessors are broad-minded and survive for love, rather than ending up depressed because of hatred, which is not wrong."
"There is nothing wrong...... the old man suddenly felt a little relieved, and the stones in his heart for many years were scattered into crumbs, "Although there is a warm sun, the winter is still cold after all, and the old man lives in the cave in front of him, although the cave is simple, but he can also burn the fire to keep warm, roast some mountain fruits to fill his stomach, if you don't give up, the young man can go with me, sit for a while, let the old man entertain a little, and talk about the heart." ”
"The seniors are invited, how dare the juniors refuse."
In the cave, the layout is simple: the stone base is the bed, the cotton grass is the mat, the rattan weaving chair, the wood is the table, the clay is burned, the bamboo is chopsticks, and a fire is made on the ground, which is like a warm home, and today there is one more person in the cave, the atmosphere is different, and it adds a little warmth.
"How long have you been in this cave?"
"I have been separated from Xi Mei for a long time, and it has been a long time since I was separated in a blink of an eye." As he spoke, the old man wrapped a few fruits of similar shapes with some large strange leaves and roasted them in the fire.
He told some of the past to the Flowing Fire Cloud Silence, when Xi Mei gave him the piccolo, his eyes stared at the piccolo that was still green for a long time, he put the piccolo to his mouth, it seemed to be a casual tune but the flow of years tactfully said, the thoughts of the clouds, the fetters of the wind, the lingering of the water, the heat of the fire, the love to the depths of the ethereal; It's hard to walk in the depths of love; Love is like a trickle in the depths; Love to the depths of the desire to sink...... a love that is shameless and repudiated by man and God; A love is deep, even if you make a mistake, you have to continue to move forward, and the steps of guilt will not stop, just to fulfill the promise of this life.
Such a heavenly sound makes the soul of the Flowing Fire Cloud Lonely feel inexplicably sad, such a tune is almost irresistible to either humans or gods, but it is a pity that it fails to reach the heavenly court, and can only extend a difficult path of guilt in the dark rebirth.
I don't know if it was because of the feeling in his heart after listening to it, or if the music made him unable to control himself, and his eyes were like a nightmare, falling into a memory that he had never had.
"At that time, the flowers of the two lives bloomed, and they were still in the world, and the flowers were blooming, saying that they would stay together for a lifetime; At that time, the flowers of the two lives bloomed, they were already in the fairy world, the flowers were blooming, and the gods of the heavenly realm were envious; At that time, the flowers of the two lives bloomed, they faced death, the petals withered, and the love of a lifetime remained......"
By the Yaoshui River, a figure, like familiar, with a hint of evil and arrogance, the forehead life marks are clearly visible, just like his own, red and eye-catching, in the shape of fireworks, but the center of the fireworks looms a trace of seclusion, dark black hidden in it, with a strange and gorgeous poignant, with the momentum of self-respect, obliterating the red between heaven and earth, even if the rising sun, it seems that it has fallen, the world is the same color, all in his palm, and the look in his eyes shows the outline of nothing more, he seems to have forgotten something, It was as if he was doing something that he himself would not have remembered, why? Just to burn out the thoughts in my heart, burn it clean, and burn it beyond recognition......
