Volume 1 Retrospective Chapter 10 Retrospective (8)
"Disappointment? Zhao Yuanxi sneered. He smiled wryly and slowly left.
Along the way, he wondered, how many times can a person's heart die?
That person was really "empathetic", and he was so considerate of him. However, if she had let him know everything in the first place, perhaps he would have been completely dead by then, so why bother to be so uncomfortable again.
Isn't it said that long pain is better than short pain, why are these two so ruthless.
But in addition to being sad, there was a trace of warmth in my heart. It turns out that in this world, there are still people who care about themselves. I care about my feelings, I care about my joys and sorrows.
Even if it's just a little bit.
Before he knew it, he had walked to the edge of the Scarlet Poppy Pool again. The crimson water of the pool is extremely calm, reflecting the scenery around him and his figure.
Zhao Yuanxi stretched out his slender and bony hand and tried to stir the pool water.
The moment his fingers were about to touch the water, a petite but powerful hand took his hand and stopped him from moving.
"Stay away from here. ”
It is the voice of the morning life. Very flat voice.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at her, "Why are you here?"
"Because you're here. ”
"You're following me?" Zhao Yuanxi's bright and clean face did not resist, but there was a hint of amusement.
"No," Chaosheng said, "it is your freedom to go wherever you go, but here, it is better to come less." ”
"Why?" he was not afraid of Asahi at all, so he asked this "why" very easily.
Chaosheng was not annoyed, and said: "Scarlet Poppy Pond, except for this seat in the Changming Palace, no one wants to come here." There is no other, but the water in the crimson pool can purify all desires in the world. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhao Yuanxi was puzzled.
"Good thing?" Chao Sheng shook his head, "You're thinking too simply. There are desires in the Six Realms, and the gods are not exempt from vulgarity. Desire is a part of the body, and it is also where the obsession in the spiritual platform lies. If you are washed away by the water of the Scarlet Poppy Pool, you will be stupid or seriously injured, and your soul will be scattered. As for the severity of this, it depends on how deep the desire is. ”
Zhao Yuanxi's pair of clean and dark eyes looked at Chaosheng for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
"I came here that day, and the Divine Monarch was dipping in the water. Doesn't the Divine Monarch have any desires?" he asked.
Chao Sheng looked at the pool of water and said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Yuanxi was even more puzzled.
"But the pool of water has no effect on this seat. If this pool of water is easily made a death hole for all living beings in the Six Realms, how can the Heavenly Dao cycle back and forth and last forever? ”
Zhao Yuanxi: "...... so you just wash your feet with water......
Chao Sheng said very lightly, so light that it flew like a feather, but Zhao Yuanxi was speechless when he heard it. In the end, he is too weak.
The woman in front of her, if you just look at her appearance, I'm afraid she is not as old as herself. But her strength is unfathomable and inscrutable.
"Oh, I see. Zhao Yuanyu said.
His eyes drooped, and his long eyelashes hid the emotion under his eyes.
Because he is weak, he will be rejected.
Because he is weak, he is trapped in this hellish place.
Because he is weak, he can't do what he wants.
Because he is weak, he will be tricked by fate to this point.
"I have said that even if you stay in the mortal world, you will be in trouble and trouble, but it is better to be at ease here. And here, you naturally don't need to think about any strength or weakness, you have your own seat to protect you, and no one dares to hurt you in the slightest. "Asahi said.
"You know what I'm thinking. Can you read minds?" asked Zhao Yuanxi.
"There is nothing in this world that I do not know. ”
"Is everyone you meet mind reading like this?"
"It's not. I don't want to know about those people. ”
"Then why read my mind?"
"Not why. ”
"In the future, can you not read it?" Zhao Yuanxi said.
"Reason. ”
"You know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you. It's not fair. ”
"Are you fair with this seat?" Chao Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Why can't you respect or fear those who ask for you? I have nothing to ask of you, and I am not afraid of you. Zhao Yuanxi's eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a little bit of sunlight, covering the original sparseness, and it looked more bright and gentle.
But no matter how bewildering his skin is, he can't disguise that he has a backbone, as well as a cold and obedient temperament.
Chaosheng originally knew what kind of person he was, but because of the bright brilliance between his eyebrows and eyes, she indulged him to the extreme.
"Okay, this seat is yours. I won't use the method of contemplation against you in the future. ”
Who made him ...... So like ......
"You're just talking, why should I believe it. What should you do if you lie to me?" Zhao Yuanxi had to inch in.
Chaosheng was not annoyed, and there was an extra purple leaf in his hand at some point.
"This is a blinding leaf, and eating it can hide your heart. I don't know what's going on in your heart. Not only this seat, but also others. ”
Zhao Yuanyu read in the ancient books of his dormitory, there is indeed a plant that grows on the fairy mountain called the obstacle order, a leaf obscure, and others should not look at it. It's just that he doesn't know exactly where this plant grows.
"If I really take it, aren't you afraid that I will get out of your control?" Zhao Yuanxi looked at Chaosheng with a smile, and his bright eyebrows seemed to be tentative.
Chaosheng looked at him meticulously and did not speak, but directly stuffed the leaves into his mouth.
Zhao Yuanxi: "......"
Chao Sheng's fingers touched his soft lips, but the cold touch spread all over his body, making him look stunned.
Zhao Yuanxi turned his face unnaturally.
"That...... What's your name?" he asked.
Few people ask her that. The last person was a long time ago. That's what the man asked her, too.
"What do you do by asking for a name?" Chao Sheng asked.
"I don't want to say it, but I don't have to know. But don't think that just because I call you a god-king, I really respect you as a god-king, I just don't have anything to call. Zhao Yuanxi raised his head and said.
"Asahi Sheng. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanxi didn't seem to expect her to answer.
"My name is Chaosheng. She no longer calls herself "this seat", perhaps she feels more intimate this way.
"Chaosheng ......" Zhao Yuanxi silently read her name, "Is it a hibiscus flower?"
"Maybe, after so many years, I don't know if that's what it means. "Asahi said.
"Chaosheng," Zhao Yuanyu said, "I'll call you that from now on." ”
"Whatever. ”
"Asayu, thank you. ”
"Thanks for what?"
"Nothing. Zhao Yuanxi lowered his head, and suddenly thought of something, "Don't think that if I say thank you to you, it means that I am willing to stay, I will definitely not give in." ”
Chaosheng looked at him and did not speak.
"Don't you think that your deal with Zhao Su is very unfair? As far as Zhao Su is concerned, I have been an abandoned son from the beginning, but I have changed the person I have loved all my life for him. Zhao Yuanyu said.
Chaosheng lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
She's not stupid, she still knows what mortals think in their hearts.
She was in the scarlet pool, and when she saw the young Zhao Su asking Emperor Zhao Yi to marry Shen Yanshu, Zhao Yi's body trembled slightly, smiled, and pursed his lips. I also saw that Shen Yanshu didn't smile at all on the day of her wedding, the light in her eyes when she mentioned Zhao Yi, and the look of cold resentment when she looked at Zhao Su.
In the secret room of the palace, Shen Yanshu's soul cried and begged: "Let me go, please let me go." ”
Zhao Su was fierce and paranoid: "I won't die." ”
"I curse you for not being loved in this life, the glory will fall to the ground, the people will betray their relatives, and you will not die well!" This is the curse of Shen Yanshu's soul to him.
Because of this, Chao Sheng knew that even if Shen Yanshu was resurrected, Zhao Su would not really get it. Maybe in the days to come, Zhao Suhui really responded to Shen Yanshu's curse back then.
Of course, it's all their business. Chaosheng didn't want to know, and he didn't bother to guess.
But what she knows is that in this world of conservation, no balance can be easily broken. Gain may be accompanied by loss, and loss may also be exchanged for what was not obtained in the first place.
Besides, he is Zhao Yuanxi. It is the person who makes her happy to see it, and since both parties are satisfied, they will not feel unfair.
"Yuan Xi," Chao Sheng called, "Yuan Xi is Yuan Xi, and it has nothing to do with Shen Yanshu, and there is no need to make comparisons." ”
Zhao Yuanxi was a little surprised when he heard her call him like this, and he had an indescribable feeling.
Zhao Su also called him Yuan Xi, but the name Yuan Xi seemed to be given a new life in Chaosheng's voice. It seems that he is no longer the son of a prostitute, the prince of the palace, the extremely humble Zhao Yuanxi, the original Xi is the original Xi.
"I won't be called Zhao Yuanxi in the future. My name is only Harayu. I won't take that person's last name, I'm just me. ”
Chaosheng nodded.
......
Less than three days later, Qi Mo wrote in the "Collected Records":
"In the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Yuan of the Great Liang Dynasty in the mortal world, the mortal girl Shen Yan came back from the dead, but she still admired Emperor Zhao Yi and hated Zhao Su. Zhao Yi took the opportunity to suppress Zhao Su, the king of Yong'an. Three years later, Zhao Su was unwilling to take away the hatred of his wife, rebelled and invaded the royal capital. The capital was chaotic, the Song State took advantage of the situation, and the imperial city changed hands. Zhao Yi died, and Shen Yan relieved his martyrdom. Zhao Su went crazy in a trance and died in the imperial city. ”
Mr. Fusang was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Shen Yan was given forty years of life, why did he die in three years?"
Zhaoyun said: "With Shen Yan's urine, let alone forty years, even four hundred years, I have to give her three years." ”
Everyone: "......"
Maybe it's wishful thinking, it's really hard.
Mr. Fusang also wrote about them into a drama called "Retrospective", which was performed in the teahouses of major theaters in the mortal world.
Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long.
Rao is Zhao Su's vain attempt to tamper with the mandate of heaven and go against the current, which is difficult to achieve after all.
Some people go back all their lives. But what he didn't know was if the man was still there.
Or perhaps, the man was never in the same place.
