Chapter 17: Reincarnation
For many years, you have been living in seclusion in my wounds, I have let go of heaven and earth, but I have never let go of you, the mountains and rivers of my life, let you say goodbye one by one. In the world, apart from life and death, which is not idle.
......
Xiaowen left, and left with my heart. Human beings are such fragile beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, and re-entering reincarnation, all of which are so ephemeral and so natural.
I went to ask the patriarch of the fox demon clan how to see Xiaowen again, and he told me that people are different from demons, demons can live for a hundred, a thousand years or even tens of thousands of years, while humans can't, they live for a hundred years, and some only have a lifespan of just a few decades. But after human beings die, they will enter the gate of reincarnation, step on the road of the three rivers, walk across the Nai He Bridge, drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, forget the past, and reincarnate as a human again.
The patriarch said that if I want to see Xiaowen again, I can only look for her reincarnation, and if the reincarnated person has any unfulfilled wishes in her previous life, then she will be reincarnated in that place, but, "Drink Meng Po soup, re-enter reincarnation, and start a new life,"
At that time, I didn't quite understand what the patriarch meant when he said that she had "started a new life", and I was already very satisfied to see that little face carved in pink again.
It took 500 years for a demon fox to cultivate into a human form, and while I was cultivating, I kept looking for Xiaowen who was reincarnated and reborn.
The flowers in front of the court bloomed and thanked, thanked and bloomed, I don't remember how many spring and autumn I found, every year when the snow is first, looking at the snow, I will remember the day we first met.
I don't know how many years I've been looking for, and finally one day I met the girl who was washing clothes by the stream, and that face I will never forget in my life, yes, it is Xiaowen in this life! I ran over to her excitedly, and rolled in circles in front of her, hoping that she would pick me up and touch my head as before, but she looked at me indifferently and left......
At that moment, I finally understood what the patriarch meant by "starting a new life...... It's just that her heart hurts so much, so sad, why doesn't she remember me anymore? Everything we have experienced together, she has forgotten everything, only me, and I am the only one who is struggling to keep ......
But even so, I still can't forget her, Xiaowen.
Even if you hate me in this life, I still want to stay by your side quietly, as long as I see your peace and happiness, I have no regrets.
Xiaowen lived a very dull life in this life, married and had children, and finally inevitably died of old age, so I began to wait for her to be reincarnated again...... I don't know if it's right or wrong, and I don't know what I'm for, I just don't want to, those days with Xiaowen will turn into dust, and no one will know anymore.
Walking through the mountain streams and searching all over the world, just to accompany you, I found her second and third lives...... She doesn't remember me, but I'm willing to keep it in my heart.
For 500 years, I have been with Xiaowen in every life. Finally, in this life, I can cultivate a human form, see my own appearance reflected in the river, and I can be regarded as a beautiful man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Xiaowen, I will not miss you again in this life!
