II. Chapter 13

"Ahh

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ming and Li Mengru were both shocked, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

I always thought that the battle between good and evil was already an unknown secret, but at this time there was still a stone tablet, and the most important thing was that this stone tablet was actually in this Wuxin Courtyard, after three hundred years, there was not the slightest rumor from the outside world, which was undoubtedly very shocking news.

Jingkong saw the two people who were surprised, but his face did not change, and explained: "Since the end of the battle between good and evil, this stone tablet has been left here, passed down from generation to generation, because the matter is big and relatively secret, so it is understandable that the two do not know." ”

Li Mengru's lips opened slightly, and she was stunned for a long time before she said, "How can there be a stone tablet for no reason?"

Jingkong raised his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and he sighed lightly: "Three thousand worlds, thousands of creations, endless. Born with a vision, the stone tablet was born, and it is not for mortals to investigate its roots. ”

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded, the world is so big, if it is really strange, then the key to this trip must be on this stone tablet.

Just thinking about it, I heard Jingkong continue: "That stone tablet has an inscription engraved on it, and it is very mysterious. After a hundred years of dust, the lord of Cloud City is still broad-minded and does not hesitate to publicize it, so that this stone tablet can be reproduced in the world for my generation to observe and understand the true meaning. ”

When he said this, he lowered his head slightly, and was silent for a while before he whispered: "It's a shame to say that the inscription on the stone tablet is still unknown. ”

"Ahh

Jiang Ming frowned and said, "Even Senior Brother Pure Sky can't understand that inscription?"

Jingkong just shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Which one of you who came here to observe the stone tablet is not an amazing person on the way to cultivation, although he is intelligent, but the creation of heaven and earth is really profound and mysterious, and he has not been able to comprehend it. ”

When Li Mengru heard this, a look of disappointment couldn't help but appear on her face, she shrugged her shoulders, and said, "Even you can't understand it, then I'm afraid that my junior brother and I will return from this trip in vain." ”

The people who came here to attend the meeting are all outstanding disciples in the pillars of the world's righteous path and the great sect of the Great Gate, and they still haven't gained anything from observing several times, so how can I be confident that I can understand anything from it?

Clear empty hands clasped together and said: "No, the reincarnation of cause and effect, since there is this stele, there must be a reason for its existence, the two donors can come here, and there must be something outstanding, whether they feel it or not, everything is not a certainty." ”

"Senior Brother Jingkong, don't comfort us. ”

Li Mengru held her face with her hands in her hands, leaning on the table, with a melancholy look, she originally thought of this, learned some great skills, and then found a way to treat her father, it seems that everything is her own thoughts.

Jingkong looked at her appearance, his face was solemn, and said: "I'm not comforting the two donors, what's more, the two of them came here to get together with everyone, and it was also fate, discussing and learning from each other, how could they return in vain." ”

After he finished speaking, after being silent for a while, he chanted the Buddha name in a low voice, slowly stood up, and said: "The day after tomorrow is the beginning of the autumn festival, the two of you have a good rest, and I will leave first." ”

Jiang Ming and Li Mengru also got up to see each other off, and it was not until they walked away that the two returned to the room and sat back at the table.

For a while, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.

After a while, Li Mengru sighed lightly, looking quite annoyed, Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment, and whispered comfortingly: "Senior sister, you are so smart, you must be able to comprehend that stone tablet." ”

"Hehe......"

Li Mengru smiled slightly sarcastically, and said: "As far as you know a lot, you can first read the Buddhist "Heart Sutra" given to you by Senior Brother Jingkong!"

Jiang Ming immediately suffocated for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at the rice paper next to him, the dense small characters on it were really obscure, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Such a difficult scripture, Senior Brother Jingkong can understand it, but he still can't understand the stone tablet, and he can't even understand this scripture, so how can he talk about the stone tablet?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming's face was also a little lost, it seems that the path of cultivation does require understanding, and he can only be regarded as a mediocre column, to get to this point today, it is completely due to luck, and with the help of the sword in his hand, the road ahead is slim, how can he complete the master's entrustment, and go to the immortal mountain in the West Sea?

"Hey, junior brother!"

Just when he was worried, his senior sister's voice came to his ears, and he subconsciously replied, "What's wrong?"

I saw that Li Mengru didn't speak, just frowned slightly, staring at herself with a pair of bright eyes, looking carefully, as if she wanted to find something out of it.

Looking at the beautiful face of the woman in front of her, Jiang Ming was also stunned, and she didn't know what she was looking at, and when she couldn't figure it out, she suddenly stood up with her hands on the table and got a little closer.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was greatly embarrassed, and couldn't help but move back for half a minute, and the faint fragrance in the air made him slow down his breathing, and he was suffocated for a long time before he said, "What...... What's wrong? What's on my face....... What's that?"

Li Mengru then put away her gaze and sat down again, but her face still had a thoughtful look, and she muttered: "It's really a bit like ......."

The two distanced themselves again, and Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong?"

Li Mengru's face was filled with a smug expression, as if she had discovered something terrible, and said, "Senior brother, do you remember when we met the Cloud City Lord?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ming was also confused for a while, but looking at his senior sister's mysterious appearance, he was also quite curious.

"At that time, the Cloud City Lord always looked at the wall on one side, do you know what he was looking at?"

When Li Mengru said this, his face was extremely serious, Jiang Ming thought about it carefully, but he was too nervous that day, so he really didn't pay too much attention, but he remembered that the Cloud City Lord did always look to the side, but he didn't know what he was looking at, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Li Mengru smiled and whispered, "When we left, I took a special look......

"Ahh......h How can you do that?"

Jiang Ming was taken aback, why did the Cloud City Lord wait for others, he was so nervous at that time, Senior Sister actually had the kung fu to peek into other people's secrets.

Li Mengru looked at the panicked Jiang Ming, gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "What are you nervous about, didn't you just take a look?" Besides, he was quite strange at the time, and he didn't notice it, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ming's heart settled down a little, and after a while, he said sneeringly: "Then what is he looking at again?"

"It's a painting!"

I saw Li Mengru solemnly and with a serious face: "It's a portrait of a woman in white!"

Looking at the senior sister for a long time, I thought it was some kind of unsightly secret, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary portrait, so I lost a little interest, and said stupidly: "So what?"

Li Mengru was angry, gritted his teeth, and continued: "The lost soul that the Lord of Cloud City sees, presumably the woman in this portrait is the woman he loves in his heart!"

Jiang Ming was not angry in his heart, nor was he laughing, he didn't know why his senior sister was so concerned about this matter, so he said angrily: "It's none of our business." ”

Li Mengru was not angry at all, she just snorted lightly, and said leisurely to herself: "That woman is dressed in white like snow, caressing Suqin, although it is just a portrait, but it is like she has really come to life, and the most important thing is ........"

She paused when she said this, deliberately glanced at Jiang Ming, and said slowly: "That woman's appearance is extremely moving, but she is somewhat similar to you, especially those eyes. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ming was still unmoved, and just said lightly: "If it is really as you said, there are so many people in the world, just a little similar, this is not a big deal." ”

"Humph!"

Li Mengru shook his head, and said: "Although there will be a little deviation between the portrait and the real person, but the cloud city lord has been lovesick for that woman all the year round, I am afraid that he has already carved the woman's appearance into the bottom of his heart, with a character like him, just glanced at you, it was actually a trance, and suddenly became very weird, how similar you are, I don't need to say more!"

After finishing speaking, her mouth opened slightly, and her eyes stared at Jiang Ming, as if waiting for how he would react.

After Jiang Ming heard this, he suddenly thought that he had been looking at the Cloud City Lord for a long time, and then he had become extremely lost, could it really be as Senior Sister said, was he really so similar to the woman in the portrait?

This thought flashed in his mind, and he couldn't talk about any feelings in his heart, looking at the surprised expression of his senior sister, he said lightly: "It looks like it again, so what can it be?"

Li Mengru thought that Jiang Ming would have a great reaction, and then shouted in surprise, but at the moment, Jiang Ming didn't have the slightest expression, and couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, as if he had punched the air.

"Who made you look so similar......

When she said this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and the dissatisfaction in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she said in surprise: "Ah, do you think that woman will be your mother!"

In the quiet room, only this one sentence echoed gracefully.

Jiang Ming's expression froze, but his heart was changing, and he couldn't tell whether it was bitterness or what it tasted, he only felt empty.

I'm afraid that in this life, being able to know what my mother looks like is a dream that is extremely distant and unattainable.

He lowered his head slightly, and was silent for a long time, but his face was a look of loss that was difficult to hide.

The woman in front of her seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing at this time, and she bit her lip lightly for a while, silent.

I don't know how long it took before Jiang Ming slowly raised his head and forced out a slight smile, but with a bit of sadness, he said, "Senior sister, I'm ...... My mother died when I was born, and I ...... I don't know what she looks like. ”

After he said these words, his whole body was a little looser, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he was also a little watery, but he still smiled slightly, and said softly: "Senior sister, do you think I will be very similar to my mother?"

His sad smile was imprinted in her eyes, and her heart felt like a pinprick in her heart.

"Yes, it will......"
