Chapter 370: Things are not people

Clor and Mary have been friends for many years, and now that they heard that Mary had died, their hearts were immediately filled with sadness, and their eyes immediately turned red, and tears began to roll in their eyes.

"Where is the body of the eldest sister placed? I'm going to take a look. Cloll whispered.

"We have placed my mother's body in a coffin and parked it in the cellar to prepare for her burial. Katrin said.

Cloll left the guards in the hall and led her to the cellar, where she was greeted by a very simple coffin, with no patterns or patterns carved into it.

"How can this be done, you wait a minute, I will immediately ask the best craftsman in the palace to carefully build a coffin for the eldest sister. ”

Coral was about to leave, but was stopped by Katrin.

"No, just keep it simple. Mother must not want her future to be complicated. ”

After being silent for a moment, Clor sighed softly and said, "You're right, it's me who did it too much. So, are you planning to skip the funeral?"

"Exactly, we don't have many relatives and friends anyway, so we don't need to mobilize the people and spend a lot of time, just bury them directly. I hope that the princess will not hold a funeral for her mother without permission. ”

Katrin's watch was extremely serious, and it was clearly not a joke.

Hearing this, Klor nodded and said, "I understand, but I can't be absent on the day of the burial, please allow me to follow you." ”

Katrin knew the deep bond between the princess and her mother, who were not just sisters, but each other's only confidants. Although there have been few opportunities to meet over the years, the friendship has not diminished, and in her spare time, Mary will always mention Clorle in front of everyone, telling interesting stories about the two when they worked together to explore the rivers and lakes, with a look of nostalgia on her face.

Since there was no funeral, Crowl had to at least watch her eldest sister's coffin be buried in the mausoleum, otherwise she would not be able to relax at all.

"Naturally, I can, but I have two conditions, I don't know if the princess can accept it. ”

"You just say it. ”

"First, the princess must wear a casual dress as she does now, and never change into palace clothes. Second, Her Majesty the princess could not bring a guard, and had to come alone. Everything is done to prevent a sensation and provoke right and wrong. ”

"What's so hard about that? I'm going to sneak out and won't tell anyone. When are you going to go?"

"At that time, the city should have been empty, and everyone hadn't woken up yet, so we wouldn't get any attention. But wouldn't this be too early for the princess?"

"Absolutely not, then we'll meet again in the future, and we'll leave now. ”

On the second day, Cloll arrives just in time, dressed in a black mourning suit, in line with Catelyn and Ryan.

The dignified princess of the Imperial Spirit Kingdom would wear it for a common person

Wearing mourning clothes is simply incredible, which proves that the feeling between the two is better than that of relatives.

Catelyn and Ryan were shocked, but they didn't say anything, they both knew that this was the best way for the princess to express her grief.

The three of them didn't say much, and together they carried Mary's coffin to the mausoleum north of Dusk.

In a place with a good feng shui location, the three of them slowly buried Mary's coffin, and Clorre took out the tombstone specially made for Mary by the craftsmen of yesterday from the storage space, which was made of the finest granite.

The tombstone is densely covered with words.

At the top of the tombstone is a large line of letters: "Mary rests here".

Below are all the glorious deeds of Mary's life, all the same, unobstructed.

"Thank you, Princess, for preparing such a beautiful tombstone for your mother. Katrin thanked her heartily.

"I'm the eldest sister's sister-in-law, and it's just my duty to do these things. ”

Klor said lightly, taking it all for granted.

After Cloll personally placed the tombstone on the mound, the three of them bowed their heads and closed their eyes together, mourning in silence and praying to the heavens that Mary's soul would ascend to heaven and that she would always be safe and happy in the next life.

Seeing this, Fett had no way to continue, she withdrew her spiritual power, and the scene in front of her disappeared in an instant.

Before he knew it, Fett had become a tearful man, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't stop no matter what.

An indescribable pain seemed to tear her heart in half, a scar that would forever be etched in her heart and perhaps never erase for the rest of her life.

"Master, the unscrupulous disciple failed to keep the original agreement"

What is the use of apologizing ten thousand times when a person dies like a lamp goes out and disappears in the blink of an eye? From the moment Mary died, it was too late.

"My father is gone, my master is gone, why is life so fragile, once we are separated, it will be difficult to see each other again after a hundred years. ”

The lifespan of the spirit race is actually longer than that of the human race, especially women. But the world is impermanent, there are too many births and deaths in a hundred years, no matter who it is, as long as there is no transcendent sanctification, there is no escape from the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, this endless grief will continue forever, and there will never be an end in sight.

Only by getting rid of the sea of suffering can we find liberation.

Fit, who has been practicing for more than 100 years, is only taking the first step towards liberation, and he still hasn't let go of his concern for the mortal world, and there is still a long way to go before the end.

When she is no longer trapped by obsession, when she is no longer disturbed by seven or six, it is also the time when she leaves this world forever.

Fett walked slowly in the direction of the gates of Twilight City, there were a few people she had to meet, and after that she decided where she was going in the future, whether she wanted to stay or leave.

"I have to see my mother, and I have to go to my sister and brother. I want to apologize to them, if I could keep my promise, maybe it wouldn't be the way it is. ”

With an extremely heavy heart, Fett slowly walked towards the city, came to this city that had been separated for nearly a hundred years, and returned to the hometown she had been longing for.

When she arrives in Twilight City, the scenes in her memory immediately bring her back to her teenage years, and evoke memories that seem so beautiful at that time.

Fett looked at the scenes around him that were still fresh in his memory, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that nearly a hundred years later, this place is still exactly the same as it was at the beginning, and there is almost no change." Think about the shops that opened when they were young, they must be a hundred years old at the moment, and the owners should have changed many times. ”

"Jing Nian Teahouse", "Fulai Inn", "Jimin Pharmacy"

These familiar plaques give Fett the illusion of going back in time, as if stepping back in time, jumping to a hundred years ago in an instant.

How Fitt wished that the scenes that appeared in front of her were just illusions, not real, and then her father and master would appear in front of her alive.

But she also understands that these are her unrealistic wishes, and the retrospective ability of "prophecy" will never be faked. Although she was unwilling, she had to choose to accept reality, and self-deception was by no means the psychology that a cultivator should have.

"Things are not people, although the city still maintains the appearance of the past, but the people are gone. ”

Fett sighed helplessly, expressing his sorrow.

She had planned to "return triumphantly", neither to live up to herself, nor to miss the appointment with her relatives.

But now she has obviously fulfilled a wish, but she feels that she has lost everything, and she has achieved success, but her heart is so empty, as if all that accompanies her is desolation and loneliness.

"I'm back, but Father, Master, where are you?"

She did come back, but she couldn't go back, she couldn't go back, she couldn't go back to the world she imagined, this was originally the law between heaven and earth, time is a straight line with only one direction, once it goes, it won't look back, the past is like a cloud of smoke drifting away, no longer exists, there is never the possibility of going back.

Joys and sorrows, sunny and round, difficult to do.

Fett suddenly remembered a proverb from the Codex that he remembered so well.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. ”

"Yes, time is nothing, you can take everything. The laws of heaven are strict, everyone is treated equally, and everyone is powerless to resist. All living beings in the world are like puppets, subject to the will of fate, seemingly full of self, but in fact at the mercy of invisible forces.

After all, the law is the foundation that sustains the world, but do we really have a chance to be liberated?
