Volume 2 Three Lives Chapter 15 This Life (4)

During the time that Yuan Xi was in the Changming Palace, he was not completely idle. He read all the books in the Ritsu Bamboo Hall of his residence, and at this time he stayed in the Wuxiang Hall to look through the ancient books collected in it.

The Wuxiang Hall is the place where the books of the Changming Hall are stored, whether it is medical skills, cultivation, pills, music laws or scriptures and historical anthologies, there are everything. Among them, there are also transaction files of the Changming Palace over the years.

Yuan Xi has the privilege of freedom of movement in the Changming Palace, including the files, which he can also look through at will.

When Yuan Yu was in the mortal world, his uncle used to run a spice business, and he occasionally went to help, so he dabbled in herbs and spices, and now he has a systematic understanding of these things in the Wuxiang Palace, and even comes into contact with the door of medicine.

Not only that, he found an ancient book called "Shenzhou Chronicles" in the Wuxiang Temple, which recorded the affairs of the Six Realms, and only then did he have a general understanding of the world around him.

It is recorded that the demon is cultivated by animals, has a human form or is similar to a human form, and has a certain amount of mana. Most of the monsters have strange appearances and even scary, and most of them are noble or obscure, which is harmful to people. Jing refers to a plant or non-living body that has not become a demon or immortal in the process of cultivation but has some mana after long-term cultivation. Spirits are living or non-living beings that absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon to produce self-awareness, but have not cultivated themselves.

Among the Six Realms, they are all under the control of the Demon Realm.

"Demons, monsters, spirits, and spirits have their own definitions," Yuan Yu pondered, "I didn't know anything about this before. ”

......

The mortal named Zheng Yunjian is here again. The Changming Hall has only passed a few hours, and a few months have passed in the mortal world.

Qi Mo came to Yuan Xi and instructed: "The king instructed that when she is not there, the affairs of the Changming Palace will be handed over to Gongzi to take care of." ”

"Me?"

"It's just a little thing, Childe doesn't have to worry. The king also instructed that there may be other hidden secrets behind the matter of Zheng Yunjian, and the prince may wish to find out first. ”

Yuan Yu wondered, "Doesn't she know everything? You can see it at a glance with the method of contemplating the mind, why should you let me investigate?"

"Mind-reading is very laborious, and the king will not always peek into other people's minds, not to mention that she is not interested in them. ”

It's clear.

On the gleaning hall, Zheng Yunjian couldn't get up on his knees, looking at the weak little girl's face but extremely firm, saying that he would become a demon if he said anything.

Yuan Xi had no choice, so he sat casually on the steps under the main seat and said:

"Girl, you may wish to tell me the ins and outs of the whole matter, and perhaps there may be a better solution. ”

Zheng Yunjian sighed lightly, "This has to start from three years ago." ”

Three years ago, 14-year-old Zheng Yunjian followed his mother to the temple to offer incense, and on the way back, he met a bandit. A man in white fell from the sky, subdued the bandits, and saved the mother and daughter.

The boy was only in his twenties, and he was handsome, but his temperament was very cold, his eyes were like frost, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't like to talk. I asked him his name, but he said he couldn't remember anything. I don't remember who I am, and I don't know if I have a home.

Mrs. Zheng was also a kind-hearted person, seeing that the man was homeless, and thinking that she had a life-saving grace for their mother and daughter, she took him back to Zheng's mansion.

That boy is good at playing musical instruments, especially good at playing the flute, the flute sound is melodious and tactful, like hearing fairy music. The sound of his flute often attracts the song of a hundred birds, and the warbler cries and swallows.

"When I see you, if you smell the flute, in the future, you will be called Wendi. This is the name that Zheng Yunjian gave to that son.

At that time, he smiled at her for the first time and said "yes".

Although Wendi has an indifferent temperament, he is very good to Yun Jian, letting her do everything and taking care of her. The cloud note coincided with the cardamom years, and the girl was pregnant with spring, so she was moved by Wendi.

Yandi is very happy, and many literati and elegant guests like to compose music and play, and musical instruments have naturally become indispensable utensils.

The Zheng family is in the musical instrument business, and Wendi has helped a lot. It is said that the musical instrument made in the hands of the boy seems to have a soul. The Zheng family made a lot of money as a result and became a wealthy local family.

Zheng Yunjian and Wen Di also got married when the former was sixteen years old.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

The Zheng family is so beautiful, naturally they are jealous of their peers, and some people even spread rumors that Wendi is a goblin, and the musical instruments he makes are demagogic and can capture people's souls. Although it was a rumor, the three of them became tigers, and they didn't want this small remark to cause an uproar in the county.

Finally, one day, the county lord invited a warlock from the traveling party to come to the Zheng family to subdue demons.

The warlock's face changed drastically when he was far away outside the gate, saying that the aura of the Zheng Mansion was abnormal, and the demonic aura was overflowing.

At first, no one believed it, but Zheng Fu was naturally upright and not afraid of shadows.

However, when Wen Di's body gradually became transparent and finally turned into a white jade flute in the middle of the formation, everyone was so frightened that they fled.

"Flute...... The flute demon ......" the county magistrate shouted, and escaped from the Zheng Mansion with a rolling belt.

Zheng Yunjian was also speechless by what was happening in front of him. She walked into the formation despite everyone's dissuasion, but the white jade flute on the ground made her burst into tears.

The white and flawless flute is engraved with two small characters: Youning.

The flute was a birthday gift from her father on her tenth birthday. She remembered that she was so happy that she played with it in her hands and loved it.

Master Zheng only thought that this flute was of high quality and a work of fine craftsmanship, so he bought it at a high price. But then he heard that this flute was a musical instrument that Zhao Youning, the eldest princess of the former dynasty, carried with him day and night, and never left his hand before his death. So he thought that the dead man's things were not clean, so he asked Zheng Yunjian for the flute back, and found a vendor to resell it. Yun Jian was also sad about this for a while.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yunjian ignored everyone's dissuasion, and took the lost and recovered white jade flute in his arms like a treasure.

The fact that the Zheng family had demons spread all over the county for a while, and Master Zheng and Mrs. Zheng were so frightened that they were both bedridden.

Wen Di was greatly injured by the warlock, and he couldn't transform during the day, and only at night did he have a phantom.

The well-known figures in the county all came to the Zheng Mansion and shouted that they would hand over the flute and destroy it completely.

Zheng Yunjian desperately protected the flute and refused to hand it over.

"This woman must have been deceived by demons, she is hopeless, in the long run, I am afraid that it will harm my villagers, it is better to burn her!"

"Burn her!"

"Burn her!"

"Burn her!"

β€œ......”

When the fire was raging, it was Wendi who saved her.

Wendi took her to a thatched hut in the mountains, and news came from the county town that the Zheng Mansion announced that the young daughter Zheng Yunjian had been killed by demons, and there was no such person in the Zheng family.

Speaking of this, Zheng Yunjian had already burst into tears.

"In that case, you have no worldly ties with you, why can't you stay with him, is it because you can't let go of your parents?" asked her, puzzled.

Zheng Yunjian shook his head.

"Wendi took me back home quietly, my father and mother were very good, except for the loss of me, everything else quickly returned to normal. There are two older brothers and one sister at home, and they will take good care of my parents on my behalf. Zheng Yunjian said sadly.

"And why?"

Zheng Yunjian's tears that he had finally managed to restrain suddenly fell again.

"It's that he doesn't want to. He said that we ladyboys have different paths and should not be together. He wants me to live a normal life and let me ...... Leave him ......"

"But I'm ...... But I don't have anything...... I only have him, and I only want him ......"

"I heard the mountain people there talk about the legend of the Changming Palace, so I thought, I have to try it anyway, but I didn't expect that this legend turned out to be true......"

"So you're here to hide your flute?" Hara seemed to capture a key question.

Zheng Yunjian nodded.

"And where is he now?"

"I don't know. He left a few months ago and couldn't find anywhere. Besides, he's a demon, and as long as he doesn't want me to find it, I can't do anything about it. Zheng Yunjian's eyes were red, and he spoke with a crying tone.

"Lord Shenjun, help me, I really can't help it. As long as I'm a demon too, he won't hide from me anymore, and then we can be together forever. Please, Lord God. ”

Yuan Xi is not a soft-hearted person, although he is a little moved by Zheng Yunjian's story, but he still maintains his sanity. His face was still the same:

"I watched the "Chronicles of Shenzhou" and the "Book of the Six Realms" in the Wuxiang Temple, and I have never heard that dead things can become demons. The essence of stone is also because it absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, which is really rare, let alone a musical instrument made of jade. There is another way of saying that people die as ghosts, and things become old and fine. Those who are evil in the spirit are demons, and the way in the demons is still shallow, and they have not been able to change their human form, and those with hateful faces are strange. But in any case, Wendi is not a real demon. ”

Qi Mo nodded and said, "That's true, unless the owner of the flute is too obsessed and gives the flute emotion, or it can give birth to spirits." ”

"Spirit? I've seen sword spirits in books. Hara recalled the account of the "spirit".

"It's pretty much the same. He said silently.

Zheng Yunjian listened to the conversation between the two, and was confused for a while, "Isn't he a demon?

"So, the most important thing now is to find out what Wendi is. Yuan Xi said with deep eyes.

Mo Mo nodded.

So the matter was handed over to Zhaoyun.

Zhaoyun: "......"

"Why me?" Zhaoyun grimaced, "Won't you want to help that mortal?"

"I don't want to. ”

"Why? The same mortals, why should mortals bother mortals?"

Yuan Xi chuckled sneeringly, and said indifferently, "I am a mortal, not an idler, and not a good person. ”

"Are you afraid that you won't want to come back if you go to the mortal world? Don't be afraid, even if you run to the ends of the earth, the king will find you back. "Teuyun specifically poked at Hara's sore spots.

Yuan Xi gave him a blank look. He looked indifferent and sneered:

She left them behind and insisted on finding a man she had known for a few years. This is already a disappointment to the wishes of relatives.

Besides, since Zheng Yunjian has severed ties with the world, Wendi still doesn't want to be with her. Just like what your lord said, whether it is because of heavenly principles or people's hearts, you should think about it. If you love each other, you will definitely be together regardless of everything. A lot of excuses, but it's just because of not loving enough. I'm too lazy to meddle in this kind of boring thing. He said nonchalantly.

Your Majesty...... Mo Mo pretended not to hear. The fact that such a presumptuous person every day is still alive is a miracle that he thinks this is a miracle.

"Young man, have you ever loved it?" Zhaoyun also smiled, obviously looking like a young man, but asked the old man's words.

Yuan Yu lowered his eyes, didn't know what he thought, and was irritable for no reason. He said coldly, "No. ”

"Isn't this the end of it? Individuals have their own personal difficulties, and maybe there are some unavoidable hardships. You think too simply, too naΓ―ve. ”

"If you love, you have to be together. This has nothing to do with whether you are young or not, whether you are naΓ―ve or not. With some recklessness and stubbornness on his face, the young man turned and walked away.

Zhaoyun said approvingly:

"This mortal has ideas!"

For a long time, Zhaoyun smiled to himself, "In fact, many times, love may not be able to be together." It's not...... It has to be together. His smile was bitter and self-deprecating.
