Chapter 19: Yun Mengze's Old Story (3)
He wondered why she was alone here, why she was distressed on a rainy night, but she kept silent.
She said, "Do you value the past, or the present?"
He didn't know how to answer it for a moment, and he never thought about it.
"The past is gone, and now it needs to be cherished, doesn't it?"
She continued, "Like a cloud like a dream, it's about the word 'drunk'. ”
"Born in the world, if you take it too seriously, you will lose your interest, it is better to forget it, like a drunk, and treat the years in a chic manner. ”
He has always been a rigorous person, when he was practicing art in Tianshu Pavilion, his ancestor also taught him to think twice about everything and be cautious, and it was very novel to listen to her words today.
"It seems that Miss Fucang is not lonely here when she is single. ”
Some peach blossoms were picked up by her in silk. "There is a thought in my heart, and I have never been lonely. ”
"I have traveled around to study over the years, seen all the mountains and rivers, and gained knowledge, but it is difficult to solve the knot. ”
"If I can understand it, I know everything. ”
"I'm looking for someone. He exuded a handsome look of sadness.
She sprinkled the petals on the stream, and watched them go round and round, but they were also gone, as if she had sent a letter to someone.
"I can't let go and I don't know how to look for it, this matter is entangled in the bottom of my heart and has become a pimple. ”
"You don't really plan to look for him. She was spying on his mind.
He shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare." ”
"It's up to you to let go and seek. ”
After all, he said goodbye to her, and when he left, she gave him a book, "The Story of the River". This was left to her by her aunt, and it was written in this book that no one had set foot on it, and it was the place where the world was stood.
The woman's calmness, gentleness, and calmness from the beginning to the end made him feel a kind of peace that he had never felt before, "If one day, I still have doubts, can I come here to find you?"
She broke off a branch of a flowerless, sickly peach blossom tree and handed it to him, "When you grow it into a tree that blooms again, you will know the answer to all your doubts." ”
He used the immortal method to turn the peach branch into a small one, put it in the placket, left from Yunmengze, and went to Langshan, wanting to see his friend who had been separated for many years and practiced art together in Tianshu Pavilion when he was young, and Chu Ge, who had ascended to the position of the king of Yuzhou Mountain at this time.
Chu Ge's biological mother, a fairy who gave marriage to the royal family of the ghost world for the Emperor of Heaven. Chu Ge has a fairy vein since he was a child, according to the order of heaven, when he was full of age, he entered the Tianshu Pavilion to practice art, and he was under the same ancestor door with Kongchen, and the dormitory was also the same, so he had a deep friendship.
He is excellent in his studies, but he also likes to play tricks on his master, but his master is magnanimous and never blames, which connives him even more to act arbitrarily. Once, he used a spell to put a sneeze worm in his ancestor's tea. The ancestor didn't know it, he drank half a cup in a row, and sneezed all the time, which was very embarrassing. Of course he knew it was Chugo's prank.
One day, he was finally replaced by the ancestor to "trick" him.
The master memorized his poems, but he had never learned them, if others only didn't know how to do it, but he kept his face and pretended to think.
The students secretly laughed to themselves, this Chu Ge was going to be played by the ancestor this time.
Then let me repeat the first half of the poem: The grasshopper eats the tree and shakes the boulder. ”
"What's the matter with this mayfly...... Grasshoppers eat trees...... Uh-huh...... Boulder ......"
"Chu Ge, if you won't, you won't, admitting your mistake is, why be so stubborn and waste everyone's time. ”
He said stubbornly, "Confucius is still not good at arguing about the day, I am a student, and now I am studying art in the ancestor, and the ancestor actually thinks that I have not solved your question, so it will be determined that there is a mistake, which is too difficult for a strong man." ”
"This ...... This ...... "Shi Zu, holding the ruler ring, faced Chu Ge, who was a head taller than himself, in front of him, and thought to himself, this kid is so sophistry, there is really nothing to do with him, "Sit down, there is no end to learning, you can't solve the question of being a teacher, it's really not your fault, but you refuse to admit your own shortcomings like Confucius, just like the second half of the poem: the body of the feather does not know it." ”
"Master, I have never learned this poem, which book recorded it?"
He smiled implicitly and stroked his beard, "For the teacher's clumsy work, the apprentices laughed." ”
Chu Ge is a romantic person, loves wine and meat, loves rouge women, and sings and dances.
Kongchen would never have thought that such a person would be his best friend. After the expiration of Chu Ge's art practice, he insisted on taking empty dust to his newly acquired fiefdom for a visit, the most beautiful Langshan Mountain in Yuzhou, under the mountain is the clear and deep Luoshui River, and there are ten miles of begonias by the river.
Boating on the Luoshui River, admiring the begonias by the river, and the begonias floating on the surface of the water fall into the Ying, adding charm to this April in the world, and entering the rich and soft color.
Kongchen drank the special begonia wine made here, drowsy. Chu Ge stroked the piano at the head of the boat, the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait was like a peerless treasure, his father doted on him since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he asked him to choose a place as a fief, and he chose this place without hesitation.
Langshan, Luoshui, Begonia, this is everything he cherishes since the death of his mother.
The first time he came here was because his father sent him to repair the two town river stone turtles in the area. There is a kind of pearl turtle with beads in the Luo River, and the beads produced by the female turtle can be eaten by mortals to avoid the plague. Among them is an invisible water beast that causes a flood to flood the villagehouses of Luoshui when it has a bad temperament.
Therefore, this place needs to be patrolled and governed from time to time, and there is also the capture of the unnamed water beast that has disappeared without a trace.
Before she died, she told him that if you miss me, you can go to Langshan and see the begonias by the Luoshui River.
He asked why, Niangniangyan, it was the most beautiful flower I had ever seen, and it was also the most sorrowful scene that made people forget all sorrows.
"Thousands of years ago, when I was still working as a maid in the heavenly court, I saw that poignant and fiery affair, the nine princesses of the Dongluan clan left their newborn children in order to be accompanied by their lover Yang God, and self-destructed immortal veins turned into five-colored glow in Yanggu. ”
"That child is very pitiful, she was feared by the Yuan Tian God Venerable because she was born with boundless divine power. Heavenly Court had already concealed the birth and upbringing of the Nine Princesses from the Yang God, and also deceived the Dongluan clan that it was for the future honor of that child, so it was necessary to recall Heavenly Court and be taken care of by Emperor Mujuan. There were tears in her eyes, as if she was deeply touched by this incident, "But Mu Wan hasn't taken the child back to the palace yet, so I'll ......."
"It's me...... It was I who was ordered to deliver the child into the hands of the gods, and the child was already able to laugh, not cry or make trouble, and be loved, but no matter how painful I was, I could only send her away, and I knew that the child would be cruelly thrown into the samadhi furnace until it was completely destroyed. ”
"Mu Wan was kneeling and begging me not to send the child away, but I couldn't do anything...... It was also at that time that she was overly sad, and after fainting, she was told by the medicine fairy that she was pregnant, and the Emperor of Heaven grounded her. ”
"Mother, this matter is not up to you, don't cry anymore. Chu Ge wiped away her tears for her, feeling sorry for her grieving mother at the moment.
She held Chu Ge's hand, and the residual breath was faint, "That child was rescued in the end, and Heavenly Court doesn't know who that person is now, it doesn't matter." The important thing is that your father was afraid that I would be lonely in the world, so he took me to see the begonias by the Luoshui in Langshan. At that time, I felt that there was a faint smile of the child in these begonia flowers, and you said that the child would turn into these ten miles of begonias. ”
Chu Ge, who has always been tenacious and open-minded, burst into tears when he heard Niangniang's heartfelt words, and couldn't cry. He knew that the mother at this moment was still guilty and unwilling to let go of the past.
“...... The kid who smiled so well...... It is...... Luoshui Begonia ......" she repeated weakly.
