Chapter 21: Yun Mengze's Old Story (5)
After the Zhongyuan sacrifice was over, Chu Ge changed into plain clothes and came to the world with empty dust.
During the Middle Yuan Dynasty, there was no curfew, all kinds of lanterns were hung inside and outside the city, the lanterns were tied with long strips, the words of the surviving people were written on them, sacrifices and herbs were also placed in front of the door, layers of paper money were laid on the bluestone slabs, and most of the pedestrians wore white cloth clothes, carrying lanterns and weeping tears.
Seeing this, Kongchen couldn't help but heat up in his eyes. Mortals have a short and fleeting life, so they know the way of life and death better.
On the moat, there are some river lanterns made by the common people, the names of the deceased are written on them, and the local customs also place a mussel bead on it, which means to honor the water god who helps people.
When the women by the river saw two extremely handsome men walking by, they couldn't help but be shy and whispered.
A woman in a cloak, veiled, alone by the river with a lotus lantern. The night wind was strong, the candles of the river lamp swayed, and the woman's veil was blown away, which happened to blow in the direction of the empty dust, and he held it gently.
The four eyes looked at each other, and they were all surprised.
"Why is Miss Fucang here?" he handed her the veil.
"Dusty ......," she said in an uncertain tone.
"Yes, under the air dust. This is Chugo. ”
Chu Ge learned the etiquette of the world and bowed his hand to Fucang, "Fortunately, the contemptible person is a friend of the empty dust." ”
"Is the girl reminiscing about the old people?" he glanced at the river lantern she had just placed.
She didn't answer, veiled herself again, and bowed to him and Chugo, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving." ”
Kongchen frowned slightly, how could this woman be so unpredictable, why did they misunderstand each other, why didn't they see each other for a few days, she became so angry, "What happened to the girl?"
Fu Cang turned around and looked at him, not knowing if his face was smiling, "I'm in a bad mood today, I'm slacking, I'm sorry, don't blame Gongzi." ”
Chu Ge finally laughed out loud, "You said you, you can't even handle a girl, people don't bother to talk to you, hahaha......"
Kongchen punched him in the heart, "Don't laugh at me, I'm no better when I see you." ”
Chu Ge thought that a few days ago, Kong Chen asked about the flower marks on the back of his hand, and he lied that he had fallen in love with a fairy, and after the fairy used a spell to draw this begonia flower for him, he asked him to wait until the day when the flower marks disappeared, and then he could see him again.
But Kong Chen sneered, if she likes you, how can she be willing to let you wait, wasting her good years in vain, but just giving a step that does not hurt the face of your royal family. At that time, he was depressed, and felt that the empty words were reasonable, but he also thought that if the woman really didn't like him, he would ignore it, why did he appear, and gave him a flower mark.
Although this flower mark is teased by the empty dust, it looks like a woman's boudoir makeup.
"Who is this woman? It is difficult to see through, a little indifferent, but her face is beautiful. ”
Kongchen knew that Chu Ge could see that Fucang was an extraordinary person, "I have lived alone in a Daze for a long time, and I have strayed into it and disturbed it for some time. ”
"She has the scent of ginseng on her body, and it seems that she has been exposed to this thing for a long time. ”
"Sure enough, it's the mountain king, and the herbs can't escape your nose. She has a heart disease that needs to be treated. "Chugo is studious, and these are naturally not a problem.
"I can expect it, it's just that she is young, how could she get this disease, what kind of fairy is she?"
Kongchen was helpless, shaking the folding fan, "You also see, this woman doesn't like to talk to me, I only know her name." ”
"This woman is not simple. ”
"Actually, she is the woman you sent your ghost servant to inspect that day. "He wasn't going to hide it from his friend.
"It turned out to be her, and this gloomy appearance was not as eccentric as the ghost servant reported to me. He was a little surprised.
"We just don't know her well. ”
After the mountain sacrifice ceremony, it is the ghost sacrifice ceremony, and the local knowledgeable and reasonable, innocent family background, and beautiful young women, as messengers, bring the people with wishes, to the local grave.
The tomb has already been arranged, although it is deserted, but it is the place where the ghosts gather, there is a stone archway here, the three words of the rich door are written on it, which means that all the people whose souls return to this place can enter this door, and the scenery is reincarnated.
The envoys danced on the temporary altar, wearing white ghost masks, and after the dance, the people released the sky lanterns and finished the worship of ghosts.
Life is a remnant dream, and the surviving people see the boundary between life and death clearly at this moment.
Kongchen was very interested in the sky lantern, and pulled the reluctant Chu Ge to ask for one.
"You are long enough in this life, what do you want in the next life? Chu Ge shook his head. "Besides, you and I still need this thing?"
"Just for peace of mind, I'm ...... Ask for someone else. "He's stumbling.
"Who?"
"Nothing. The dust let the sky lantern fly, and watched it away tenderly.
In the dark night sky, the rising firelight reflects a brilliant light, and people clasp their palms together and pray silently for prosperity and longevity in the next life.
In the matter of Changyou, Kongchen wanted to help, but Chu Genian was inconvenient to go down after he went to the position of Star Monarch, so he refused. It is only said that this matter has been handed over to the royal court minister of the Beihai Immortal Turtle Clan, Ji Kang, who has full control, and he is also ready for a battle in Luoshui at any time. If it is not good, then I will go to the court tomorrow and ask for support.
When Kongchen was leaving, he couldn't help but go to see the begonia flowers by the Luoshui side.
He walked slowly under the flowers, the ground was full of fallen flowers, and suddenly, he felt a trace of warmth, and reached out to probe, there was a begonia flower on the back of his neck.
He looked at the begonia in his palm and said to himself, "Why is there such an aura?" ”
What's even more amazing is that the begonia flower in his hand actually flew to the begonia jade pendant on his waist and turned into a drop of blood and integrated into it.
Yoyo Luoshui, the ancient holy river, this begonia that rises with Luoshui, what kind of story does it have, he flew to the sky with doubts.
Decades later, empty dust was in the study, looking at the volume of "The Legend of the River".
He finally got the courage to go to her, but he kept asking himself, after all these years, is she okay?
A few bits of crimson slowly drifted into the room, as if wrapped in love, and slammed down on the painting he had just made, like a tear.
He looked up and looked out the window, and the peach tree was really blooming.
If you can grow this diseased peach branch into a tree that blooms again, you will know the answer to all your doubts, and he will remember Fucang's words.
The peach blossoms have bloomed, his doubts and hesitations, and finally there is an answer, and he decides to look for her.
Will she wait for me?
Will you still remember that sentence, the three stars are at home. Tonight, what night, see this canon.
Chu Ge came to the heavenly court the day before yesterday to play, and Yan Luoshui is now surging, and the water beast has appeared again, there is no doubt that it is long, but the strange thing is that it did not intend to initiate a water disaster, but was restrained, which is incomprehensible, so it is to report.
The Heavenly Emperor pondered for a moment, "Chang You Xu is controlled by scheming people. ”
"Who can benefit from the actions that endanger the world?" asked Huang Yixian, who was in charge of the balance of yin and yang in the world.
"This matter is intended to make Shanjun derelict his duty, but it is aimed at Shanjun. The Djinn King said, shaking his feather fan.
Xunhua Immortal Jun, who was in charge of the human season, looked at Chu Ge, "Can you catch Changyou?"
"No, he's too sensitive, and seeing him appear is accidental. ”
"When was the last time you were there?"
"After several days of heavy rain, the Luoshui flooded, and it appeared to release the flood. Because of the strength of the water, we were not able to catch him. ”
"How can it be so contradictory, it has launched many water disasters, and now it has ventured to show up again. ”
"It's been raining in Yuzhou lately, so you need to be prepared. The water god also reminded, and then said, "Luoshui is an ancient holy river, and it is impossible to achieve the power to regulate Luoshui with its cultivation. ”
"Chu Ge, you must be more attentive to the matter of Changyou, if you need the help of the heavenly court, please play. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
When Chu Ge was leaving, he went to the Fire Cloud Palace, and bluntly said that the palace of the Heavenly Court was magnificent, but there were too many rules. He also told Kongchen that if he had to go down to earth, he would go to Daze, where the woman lived.
He hurriedly asked what had happened.
Chu Geyan said that the Daze Illusion Realm had been destroyed, and now it was desolate.
