When the death knell sounded, Fu Heng's body was carried out of the Nian Ji Pavilion and entered the main hall of the Xuanji Temple, according to the custom, whenever the elders in the hall died, their bodies would be soaked and washed in the secret potion for seven days before they could enter the earth, and Fu Heng was the same. He is one of the seven elders of the astrology hall, and his status is different from the ordinary, so the astrology hall wears mourning clothes for seven days, and two hundred dolls in the hall accompany him to the funeral.

Shaodian didn't want to see him again after he died and was carried out of the Nianji Pavilion, she stayed quietly on the top floor alone, and finally changed into her regular clothes because King An Ting was waiting outside the door of the Astrology Palace, and when she went out, she was invited by King An Ting to go to the mansion with him. Everything is in the plan, and since Jialan hasn't awakened yet, Shaodian has to help her remember everything.

The door to the dungeon slowly opened, and King Andin walked in front of her to lead the way. It was dimly lit, and the two soldiers who had opened the way carried torches in front of them, and passed through the long passage, flanked by small cells, and they walked for about a quarter of an hour until they finally reached the place where Jialan was kept. The two soldiers who opened the way retreated, leaving only Shaodian and King Anting.

Before treating Hujiang, Shaodian made a request to see Jialan, and King An Ting brought her without suspicion that he had it.

The stone door was slowly pushed open, and in the center of the wide cell was a large cistern, with a red rope hanging down from the middle.

Shaodian knew what the water in the pool was, and he knew its harm, but that was the medicine that really cured Jialan, and it reminded her of all the medicines.

She walked up the steps and stood by the pool, leaning over to look at Jialan, who seemed to be asleep. Jialan's appearance seems to have changed, but her body is still immature, and her spiritual power has weakened a lot.

Shaodian squatted down to touch the pool water, but a voice next to her interrupted her:

"Holy Maiden, don't move, the water in this pool is soul-eating grass juice, specially used to destroy its soul body, although you are a god puppet, it is better to be careful. ”

Shaodian withdrew his hand and quietly poured a potion into the pool.

King An Ting looked at Shaodian and said, "This demon spirit has also seen it, can the holy woman heal my son?"

Shaodian turned around, showed no nostalgia for Jialan behind him, and said, "Of course." ”

After the two left, the stone door of the cell closed heavily, and the air fell silent again. The potion mixed into the pool diverged in the water, blending into each drop of Soul Eater Herb juice, making the water in that pool turn red for a moment. The hot juice slowly seeped into Jialan's skin, disturbing her calm breath, and she began to tremble, her facial features twisted in pain. Various voices came from all directions, as if they were about to pierce her eardrums.

"In my opinion, you are no different from my puppets. ”

"He's just nice to you because I want your god body, it's stupid. ”

“...... The last Buddha in this world has also disappeared. ”

Their voices seemed to be in her ears, some were low and cold, some were charming and crazy, and some were helpless.

Her mind was becoming more and more confused, and she couldn't resist the voices. She gasped for breath briefly, and the sweat on her body was already mixed with the water in the pool.

"Jialan. ”

"Jialan. ”

"Jialan. ”

They were all calling her.

She closed her eyes tightly, her red lips open, desperate to scream something.

"Green ...... Green ......"

"Jialan. ”

A blurry face seemed to appear in front of her, and that face was close to her, calling her.

"Jialan?"

She woke up violently, and when she opened her eyes, she felt like a drum. She touched her forehead and felt empty, but the touch in her hand was cold.

The moonlight is slightly cool, and the stars are like promises. She lay under the plane tree and looked up at the sky. In front of it was a small temple, the gate of the temple was open, and the surrounding vegetation was luxuriant, and it was just night, and many insects were heard in the grass.

At this time, a little monk wearing a robe came out of it carrying a lantern. The little monk was only three years old, and he staggered when he walked, and his big black eyes under his bare head were very bright. The little monk hung the lantern on the iron hook hanging from the door, and sat alone on the bench under the eaves and waited for the master who had gone out to return.

Although she has spiritual sense, she has not cultivated a spiritual body, so she just looks like this, day after day watching the little monk grow up slowly, listening to the monks in the temple chanting every day, she can always find the voice of the little monk in many voices, because the voice is different and easy to find.

She heard them call the little monk Qing Deng, which means the ancient Buddha who always accompanies the green light.

There are very few believers in the temple, and now the young people in both the city and the village do not believe in Buddhism but in the gods, and only a few older people go up the mountain to worship and contribute incense. Although people no longer believe in the Buddha, they still follow the same set of funeral rituals that they used to chant sutras to transform the dead. Therefore, the masters would often go down the mountain to make fortunes, and sometimes they would do some rituals for the people in the city.

She knew very well that Qing Lantern was different from those monks, but she couldn't say what was the difference.

In this place, she could not move, and could only watch under the plane tree every day as the master climbed to the top of the mountain to ring the morning bell before dawn with a lantern in one hand and a green lantern in the other.

The aura in the mountains is very abundant, and Lin Haisen is quiet and lively. When she looked up, she could see the lush branches and leaves above her head, almost obscuring the sunlight above, the light and shadow were dappled, the wind blew the leaves, she fell asleep listening to the sound of the leaves shaking every day, and woke up when the temple door was opened at the fifth watch. No matter the wind or rain, there are big trees behind her to shelter her.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Qing Deng is eight years old, and he has grown a lot taller. The master in the temple is very good to the green lantern, and in addition to chanting, he also set up a swing on the tree behind her, and the green lantern will come to the swing every evening to sit down, and go back obediently when it is time to eat.

It's the middle of summer again, and she has been able to transform into a spirit after absorbing the Yuehua aura for five years, but ordinary people can't see the ethereal spirit, she can't speak at that time, and she will fly around in the mountains every day, so she can't get away.

When she first transformed into a spirit, she followed the wind and flew over the mountains and rivers, and saw a small carp on the surface of the rivers and lakes, but the next second she was caught by a bird that flew in. She was slightly stunned, and flew back into the forest with the bird. She was very curious when she saw the carp swallowed by the birds. She flew in the sky, and saw the beautiful scenery of the mountains, rivers, and land, villages, meadows, and the voices of all kinds of creatures entered her ears, there were calls, there were sorrowful screams, but there was no wave in her young heart.

At that time, she didn't know what life and death were, and what killing was.

When she returned, she finally saw the plane tree that she relied on every day, and the tree was very tall and stout, and she wanted to be old for a long time. The branches swayed, the lush leaves fluttered in the wind, and the golden light of the sun seemed to welcome her.

Green Lantern walked out of the temple with a dead kitten in her hand. The kitten's corpse was limp and weak, and its little head hung in its little hands.

Qing Lantern picked up the hoe leaning against the wall and dug a pit next to the plane tree, carefully put the kitten in, buried the soil again, and then stood in front of the raised mound and chanted the sutra for the kitten. However, the green lantern, which had been keeping her heart on the dead kitten, did not notice that a gray stone had been dug out from under the tree roots during the excavation.

When the green lantern returned, she poked her head out from behind the tree and looked at the gray stone, which was her body.

She was originally a cold jade stone sunk at the bottom of the Tianhe River, and there were thousands of cold jade stones at the bottom of the river, but she was the only one who turned into spiritual consciousness. It is very difficult for the cold jade stone to transform into spiritual consciousness, not only by chance, but also by time, from tens of thousands of years to hundreds of thousands of years. They are different from ordinary divine jades, they are the divine stones that support the entire Tianhe, and they have divine power from the time they exist in the Tianhe, and even the gods cannot easily take them out of the Tianhe.

Since she had spiritual sense, she has been at the bottom of the dark Tianhe River for 30,000 years. Until one day, a young Protoss boy dressed in white gorgeous clothes sneaked into the bottom of the river and took her out, she already had "eyes" at that time, and at first glance she saw the light golden eyes of the Divine Monarch looking at her with a smile. Later, somehow, when she woke up again, she found that her body was embedded in the root of the tree, and she thought that she should have accidentally fallen from the sky by the boy of the Protoss, so she would be embedded in the mud.

In this way, her body was exposed, but no one found her. The first time she was naked, she felt very shy, but every time she tried to grab it with her hands, she would pass through the stone and couldn't hold it. Later, when it rained heavily, many sycamore leaves fell off the body, and she was relieved.

One morning, she fell asleep on her side on a branch, and the sound of the green lantern woke her up, and when she woke up, she saw the green lantern and an old monk gathered under the tree, holding her body in her hand.

She was startled and quickly rolled over and fell from the tree. She floated around them, and all she heard them say "unusual" and "keep it away".

Qing Deng listened to the master's words, took the cold jade back to the room and washed it carefully, and the black gradually faded, revealing a light blue jade body. The cold jade stone was half the size of a fist, which was still relatively large for the green lantern, so he put it in a money bag and hung it around his waist. Whether it is a morning class or chanting with the masters, it will be placed beside them, and several masters obviously know that this is a sacred stone, so they ask the green lantern to wipe it every day.

She still sits on the plane tree from time to time, just because her body is next to the green lantern, so every day her ears are surrounded by the sound of many monks chanting Buddhist scriptures, the longer the time, the quieter her heart becomes, even if she can't understand it, the scriptures are quietly changing her.

In the past few years, the scenery in the mountain has not changed much, but the green lantern has changed a lot, and it used to need the help of the master every time the morning bell was struck, but now the green lantern can go to the top of the mountain alone.

She looked at the green lantern every day and noticed that the body of the green lantern was different from those monks, but it was the same as those female pilgrims.

She didn't have worldly rituals in her heart, and she wasn't surprised by it, she just felt that the green lantern was different.

There was a light rain in the sky, the gate of the temple was closed, and from time to time there was a dull sound of wooden sticks hitting.

Qing Lantern sat on the futon in front of the Buddha, reciting scriptures in her mouth, knocking on the wooden fish in her hand unhurriedly, the candle flame in the room beating, she opened her quiet eyes, picked up the cold jade stone that was placed on her side and held it in her hand, the slightly cool touch made her disordered heart gradually settle down.

The red wooden door behind him opened, and the old abbot walked in. He sat next to the green lantern, crossed his legs, closed his eyes in front of the Buddha statue, and said to her, "Don't let the world filth mess with your heart. ”

Qing Deng froze, lowered his head to cover the almost undetectable emotion under his eyes, and nodded: "Yes." So he picked up the gavel again and continued to strike.

Outside the door, a young monk was expelled from the temple because of his admiration for the green lantern.

The green lantern is getting bigger and bigger, and although she is only eleven years old now, the woman's figure really can't be hidden. She lay on the couch of the green lantern and looked at the green lantern sitting in front of the window reading a book.

Every move of the green lantern makes her feel comfortable and polite, even the appearance of flipping the book is very beautiful, and the beauty of the green lantern is not in the skin but in the temperament. When she approached, she would smell the faint smell of incense on the green lantern, but now the green lantern was obviously on her mind, and the book in her hand hadn't been turned for a long time.

"What are you thinking?"

Qing Lantern was startled, and suddenly looked up. She also twisted her head to look around with the green light, and after reading it, she realized that the sentence was said by herself.

"Who is it?" said Aoden put down the book and stood up, looking for the source of the voice.

"I am the stone. She happily leaned into the green light and whispered.

Qing Deng picked up the cold jade stone and looked left and right in confusion, but did not find anything unusual.

She stretched out her hand from behind the green lantern and touched the Divine Stone, which immediately emitted a faint silver light. She smiled and jumped lightly in front of the green lantern, floating in the air to see her expression.

Qing Lantern was amazed, and had already believed her words after seeing the glowing divine stone. Qing Deng hurriedly held the cold jade stone and asked her, "The spirit of the divine jade, where are you?"

Qing Deng's heart was excited, but there was not much on his face.

She was also very happy that she was finally able to speak.

"I'm right behind you, but ......" she touched the back of the green light, her transparent hands running through her thin body, "you can't see me." ”

Qing Lantern calmed down, smiled softly, and sat down on the stool in front of the table. "You've always been there?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Qing Lantern couldn't see her, and he didn't know where she was now, so he could only rely on her voice to identify where she was, "Can you come to me?"

Hearing this, she floated down to the green lantern and looked at the girl in front of her ignorantly: "Is this so?"

Green Lantern imagined a young girl standing in front of her, and she was facing her. Qing Lantern has never been in contact with children of the same age since she was a child, and now she feels that she has a companion after hearing this immature female voice.

"My name is Qing Deng, what's your name?"

"What's it called?"

"It's your name, what's your name?"

"What's the name?"

Qing Deng was stunned for a moment, and then thought that she probably didn't have a name. "A name is a name for you, something that is closely related to your soul, it represents you, you are it. When someone calls your name, it's calling you. ”

"I don't have a name. ”

"Do you want one?"

"I don't want to, I was born nameless, why should I be added for no reason?"

Qing Deng was amused by her statement, "If you think so, then don't have a name, it's only a burden." As soon as the words fell, she thought of her name, her eyes gradually darkened, and she said calmly:

"With you by my side in the future, maybe I won't be so lonely. ”

"Are you lonely?"

"Yes, chanting sutras and practicing Buddhism every day...... I don't want to be like this, so lonely. ”

"Can't you do it?"

"Had to do it. ”

"So what do you want to do?"

"I? I want to go to the city, even the village is good. ”

"Is the city better than here?"

"Well, there's a lot of stuff out there that I haven't seen before, and I want to check it out. ”

"I've been there, and it's not as much alive there as in the mountains, but it's very noisy. ”

"Really......"

"I can take you. ”

"No, I can't get out of here. ”

"Why? I've seen other people here go there. ”

"I've been here since I was a child, and my mother's purpose in putting me here is not to let me go down the mountain, and it's best to accompany the ancient Buddha to guard the green lantern on this birthday, so I call it the green lantern. ”

"Why?"

Qing Lantern smiled faintly and shook his head.
