Volume 1 Retrospective Chapter 4 Retrospective (2)
The past events reappeared one by one, and Zhao Su closed his eyes in despair at this time. He knew that what was in front of him was not an illusion, but all his past experiences.
He still clearly remembered that since then, for more than 20 years, he has been guarding in front of Shen Yanshu's corpse every day. told her about the lovesickness of every inch.
The middle-aged Zhao Su unknowingly returned to the secret room in the mountain behind the palace. A Xuanbing couch, Shen Yanshu lay there quietly, her face was still the same, her face was ruddy, as if she had just fallen asleep. The secret room was littered with dense rune paper, and countless copper coins wrapped in red threads.
......
For Zhao Su, this is the pain of his life.
All these scenes are reflected in the scarlet poppy pool like reflections, and for the Shenjun who is watching all this by the pool, everything Zhao Su has experienced is just like an opera in the excerpts of the play, or a story in the book.
The bronze mask of the blue-faced fangs obscured all of Asayo's expressions. But those who know her well must know that she doesn't have much expression on her face.
No matter how bleak and sad the story is, and how touching it is, Chaosheng has long been commonplace, and he doesn't feel anything. She looked at this as if she were looking at a blank piece of paper, and her heart did not have much turmoil. But how can the human heart be like a blank sheet of paper?
Chao Sheng sat on the edge of the pool, his snow-white slender feet soaked in the pool water, and his feet gently went up, splashing a small splash and fainting in the pool. The pictures in Zhao Su's memory scattered and reunited. The plain white robe was embroidered with large blooming purple kites, covering the entire garment, every stitch and thread was extremely fine, and the long hem of the garment dragged far away. A waterfall-like long hair is untied, casually draped over his shoulders and back, and falls to the ground.
In the picture in the pool, Zhao Su slit the throat of the white dog, burned incense, and recited mantras......
......
After Zhao Yuanxi entered the Hall of Relics, he was in a state of chaos, and after a while, his eyes returned to clarity. In front of you is a landscape, with mountains and water, and wisteria in full bloom.
Shouted a few times, but no one answered.
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary realm, it's weird everywhere. Zhao Yuanxi said secretly.
After walking aimlessly like this for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yuanxi remembered the Wuxiang Hall next to the Relics Palace.
"If there is no self, there is no increase or decrease. These were the words engraved on the door of the Phaseless Temple, and he glanced at them inadvertently.
"Now that I think about it, could it be that there is another deep meaning?" Zhao Yuanxi thought in his heart, repeating that sentence in his heart.
"If there is no self, there is no increase or decrease...... No phase ...... Is everything in front of you unreal?"
Zhao Yuanxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, closed his eyes, and eliminated distracting thoughts. Everything around them shattered in an instant.
When I opened my eyes again, it was a pool. In the water bloomed a demonic blood-red lotus, with flowers but no leaves.
There is a cyan boulder in front. He heard the sound of gurgling water, coming from behind the boulder.
Skirting the boulders, the view is even more amazing. There was only red water in the pool, no lotus flowers, nothing.
There was a man sitting by the pool, looking like a woman. She seemed to soak her feet in the pool.
It's all strange that someone is soaking their feet in the red water.
"Excuse meβ" A young man's voice came from behind.
Chao Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he had to work hard for a while, and he actually found this place by mistake.
She turned her head slowly, but the moment she saw Zhao Yuanxi, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was stunned for a moment.
The man in front of him had a handsome face, a bright and gentle expression, and there seemed to be mist in his dark eyes. He was dressed in blue-black clothes, which were the clothes of the children of mortal nobles, but they were not extravagant, but they seemed subtle and quiet. The demeanor is cold, Qiong Pei Shanshan. said that it was gentle, but there was alienation and rebelliousness under his eyes. But she found some bright colors in him. I can't tell where it is bright, but I think he is long and jade, and his spirit is high.
Resemble.
For a moment, there was such a look......
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the masked man and forgot what to say for a while.
"What?"
It is warm and moist with a cold voice, like the feeling of moonlight sprinkled on the water, which is very good.
Listening to this voice, it was indeed a woman.
"Oh......" Zhao Yuanyu came back to his senses, "May I ask how to get to the Relic Palace?"
Chaosheng looked back at the water, and the image of the water disappeared in an instant. She got up and walked towards Zhao Yuanxi.
The slender white jade feet stepped on the smooth stone slabs, but there were no water stains.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanxi hurriedly turned his back. A touch of red spread from the base of the ear, and the expression was a little unnatural.
"In ...... I'm sorry for the unintentional abruptness below. He said.
"What?" Chaosheng was confused by his words.
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanxi was even more embarrassed, the spiritual platform was blank, and he forgot to think about anything.
"What's abrupt?" Chao Sheng asked patiently, staring at his back.
"Under ...... I have no intention of peeping at the girl's feet, but I just ...... The girl should still put her shoes on, or else she ......"
Zhao Yuanxi is a little short of words.
"Or else...... Is it not etiquette?" Chaosheng made up the second half of the sentence for him.
"I have no intention of accusing the girl of right and wrong......"
Without waiting for Zhao Yuanxi to finish speaking, Chao Sheng said: "The rules of the mortal world." β
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanxi turned around with a blank expression and turned back again.
"This is the Changming Palace. "Asahi said.
"Oh" Zhao Yuanxi responded, thinking that this little girl was wearing a mask, either she was ugly or withdrawn, in short, it was strange and pitiful.
Thinking of this, he said: "Little girl, you better put on your shoes, and put aside the etiquette that you don't have, this slate is too cold, and your bare feet will hurt your body." β
Although his temperament is not very gentle and kind, and even sometimes rebellious and perverse, he can still say such a sentence.
Chaosheng heard it and felt that this was very pleasing to the ear. There are many people who respect her in this world, and there are many who fear her, but few pity her.
With a flick of his sleeves, he wore embroidered shoes on his feet.
"Turn around, I'm on. Chao Sheng's tone was flat.
Zhao Yuanxi turned around, looked at her feet, and nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you. "Asahi said.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Yuanxi didn't react for a while.
Under the mask, Chao Sheng hooked his lips and smiled slightly. He's so cute.
"Go where you asked. β
Chaosheng took Zhao Yuanxi's hand, Zhao Yuanyu was about to break free, but it was dark in front of him for a moment, and then he suddenly came to another place.
He was the only one who had disappeared from the masked woman.
