Chapter 7: A Dream of Yellow Sorghum
It is rumored that Lu Dongbin, a pure yang real person, was born in a scholarly family, and before entering the Tao, he was a student who had read poetry and books since childhood.
Helplessly, although Lu Dongbin is talented and intelligent, he has always been unsuccessful in the imperial examination, and he has failed to rank first in many attempts, and he has fallen to Sun Shan in the second place.
He was depressed, so he often used wine to drown his sorrows. One day, Lu Dongbin went out to look for wine again, and in a wine shop, he met Zhong Liquan, who was known as Yunyou.
Zhong Liquan saw that Lu Dongbin's root was very good, so he invited Lu Dongbin to enter the mountain to practice, but Lu Dongbin's heart was not over, and he couldn't let go of his fame, and he refused to practice at every turn, and he didn't want to leave this prosperous world.
Zhong Liquan was not annoyed, but just took out the firewood and yellow rice and went to cook.
And Lu Dongbin didn't have time to react, he felt that his eyelids were low, and he fell asleep like this.
In the dream, Lu Dongbin dreamed of looking back on the past, but this time, he was the champion and the first, the officialdom was proud, and he married the daughter of the prime minister.
Later, Lu Dongbin was framed, suddenly convicted of a serious crime, his family property was confiscated, and his family was exiled.
At this time, the yellow sorghum rice was not yet cooked, so there was an idiom of "yellow sorghum a dream".
Lu Dongbin dreamed of 50 years, experienced thousands of honors and disgraces, and then was enlightened by Zhong Liquan, and finally realized that he let go of the mundane fate and was born to cultivate, so that there were all kinds of later stories.
And Jiang Li is now going to experience this dream.
It's just that the dream realm varies from person to person, Lu Dongbin is obsessed with fame, so he has a dream of being exiled again, Jiang Li is not much interested in fame, what he really pursues is the great power of cultivation, and ······ Go home.
······
······
Consciousness is like traveling through time and space, and all kinds of scenes pass by from both sides, and finally freeze into the dark night and the bright moon hanging high.
A gust of night wind blew and hit Jiang Li's face, bringing a slight chill.
He looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and the huge full moon came into his eyes.
Tonight, the moon is sparse and starry, and it is a good time to enjoy the moon.
Under the moonlit sky, there are thousands of lights, bright or dark lights that light up the city at night, and the bright light is a symbol of modern civilization.
Jiang Li held on to the guardrail of the balcony and looked at this scene as if he had lost his soul, and his heart was mixed for a while.
A crisp prompt suddenly appeared, Jiang Li subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, and took out the familiar fruit brand mobile phone, on the light up display, the message of the penguin group was extremely clear.
Brush your face, unlock it, and join the group.
Lines of "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" "Crazy swiping the screen, and there are prompts for receiving red envelopes.
Subsequently, there were all kinds of emojis, and some seals were posting their own red envelope amounts.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste, familiar sand sculpture, Jiang Li couldn't help but show a smile.
"Ding!"
Another message prompt appeared, this time, it was a private message.
Jiang Li clicked on it easily, and what caught his eye was a moving picture of Mingyue, and a line of congratulatory words.
- "Jiang Li, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”
"Click-"
Suddenly there was a crack in the phone screen.
Jiang Li clenched the phone, Shicai's smile had been replaced by gloom, and his five fingers were still exerting force, making the not cheap mobile phone bend.
He is not called "Jiang Li", or Jiang Li's previous life was not called "Jiang Li", but another name.
However, the name that was supposed to appear became "Jiang Li".
Everything in front of him was so real, but Jiang Li's memory told him that it was false.
The power of this easy squash of the phone tells him that it is false.
This "Jiang Li, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" "Tell him it's false.
Jiang Li's dream of Huangliang was not closed to memory, and even the details in the dream reminded him all the time that this was a dream.
Lu Dongbin dreamed for fifty years, experienced another life, and was enlightened after waking up, but Jiang Li wanted to be enlightened in his dream and make a choice.
- Is it to put down?
- Still can't put it down?
If you put it down, the dream of Huangliang will be counted as over, the promotion ceremony will be completed, the six grades will be achieved, and the unique Dao Fruit and Pure Yang Zhenren will be obtained.
If you can't let it go, this dream is just a dream, and if it's over, it's over, and there will be no promotion, and there will be no Tao fruit.
It is a choice, but not a simple decision, but an enlightenment.
Enlightenment cannot be changed overnight, and when Jiang Li makes the consciousness of letting go, he will complete the ritual and ······ at the same time Completely let go of the obsession of going back.
All this is fake, but the consciousness is not fake.
If you want to put aside the idea of going back for a while, and think about picking it up after you get promoted, it's impossible. This kind of perfunctory can deceive others, but you can't deceive yourself.
And the essence of Huangliang's dream is to test Jiang Li's heart.
Jiang Li came to the crossroads of his life.
If so, Jiang Li asked himself.
"Do I really want to go home?"
Then, he replied to himself: "In the world of the previous life, I actually don't have nostalgia, if I don't cross over, I will work hard all my life, and I am just a human cow and horse, how can I compare to this life." What I really miss is family affection. ”
So, is it necessary to let go of this obsession for the sake of a six-grade Dao fruit?
"The Six-Rank Dao Fruit is not worth my sacrifice here, but this hurdle of mine needs to be passed. Whether I let go or can't let go, I have to face it head-on and make realizations. ”
Burying the memory, he has the idea of escaping, because Jiang Li knows that even if he can go back, it will be a long time later, and he himself has the idea of letting go. Because it was too far away, Jiang Li once thought about giving up.
But because I was reluctant, I couldn't let it go.
Until now, because of this promotion ceremony, Jiang Li finally reached the point where he had to make a choice.
Do you want to put it down?
Let time test all this. Jiang Li put down the scrapped mobile phone and thought lightly.
Jiang Li didn't know if he would still maintain this idea after a long period of time, and he even knew that he might most likely dilute his obsession because of time.
But after all, it hasn't been long now, no matter what the future holds, Jiang Li wants to go back now.
Therefore, Jiang Li plans to have a dream and let the time in the dream tell him whether he will let it go.
If you have been dreaming for decades and finally faded your mind, then let it go.
If it still doesn't change, it means that Jiang Li's heart is like this, so he won't let it go.
Time will tell the truth.
······
······
In reality, Tong Yuanzi shook the banana fan and looked at Jiang Li with a straight face.
Just now, Jiang Li's face was gloomy, and the qi around his body was surging, and there was a tendency to cover the Quartet, but suddenly he fell silent, converged into his body, and regained his calm.
At this time, Jiang Li was sitting in the small pavilion, his body was straight, his face was calm, faintly revealing a crystal-like luster, and he had the majesty of a god.
Just sitting there, he had an aura that made it difficult for the breeze and the moon to look at directly.
"Lord, he ······ Is this going to be successful? Mingyue lowered her head, but couldn't help asking.
Tong Yuanzi didn't answer, but approached slowly, as if to observe carefully.
But before he could take a step, a faint starlight appeared out of thin air, hanging down, covering Jiang Li's body, blocking an external force.
Seeing this, Tong Yuanzi couldn't help but smile and said, "Jiang Daoyou is really cautious enough. ”
He seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
"In this way, Poor Dao doesn't need to worry about any accidents, it's very good," he shook his fan and said leisurely, "I just don't know, these two Dao friends, who can be more in line with the Dao Fruit of Pure Yang Zhenren, and thus promoted." ”
The breath of yellow rice has spread, not only Jiang Li, but also Zhang Daoyi, he also entered the dream when the breath came.
Whoever the flowers fall to depends on whose state of mind is more complete and the foundation is thicker.
······
······
"Looks like it's on the right track."
In a hall, Tianxuan's eyes were full of starlight, and there seemed to be thousands of scenes in her eyes, and she remembered everything that happened around Jiang Li.
"Sure enough, it's a dream······"
Tianxuan read softly, raising her hand lightly, a faint light appeared, and a bright moon appeared behind her at some point, exuding a lofty and sacred aura.
When it comes to understanding dreams, Tianxuan thinks to herself that no one in the world is above her, at most she is on par with her. When she noticed Jiang Li's promotion ceremony, she immediately connected with the relevant legends and gained insight into the essence of the ceremony.
"The key to walking in dreams is to be awake and need an anchor point that always involves you. Like the string of a kite, ······"
After a slight groan, the bright moon behind Tianxuan split a beam of moonlight and flew to the other side along the invisible connection.
"With my qi to protect his life, even if he fails to be promoted, it is enough to ensure that he is safe. It can even wake him up when he is lost. ”
After making arrangements for Jiang Li, the bright moon behind Tianxuan slowly disappeared, and the vision of his gaze gradually disappeared.
But at this moment, she suddenly sensed something, and it seemed... With the communication of Qi Shu, she and Jiang Li established an inexplicable connection.
This should not have appeared, at least in the past, when Tianxuan used this method to protect Gongsun Qingyue, it did not appear.
She immediately wanted to investigate, but at this moment, a palace maid walked in and saluted, "Your Majesty, please go to the Purple Pole Palace." ”
With such a fork, Tianxuan could only temporarily put down the exploration, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Lead the way." ”
She walked out of the hall with an unhurried gait, the gorgeous skirt completely covering the legs, and also the thin lines that appeared briefly inside the socks, faintly showing a hint of redness.
In a few steps, the thin red line disappeared again, no more.
However, that inexplicable connection has always existed, allowing Tianxuan to accurately grasp Jiang Li's state through Yi Dao Occultism.
I wanted to write a closed memory dream back to the present world, but if I think about it carefully, I should have tasted a lot of this kind of bridge, so it is better to write something different.
