Chapter 33: Peach Blossom Resentment
Yuefeng only said that his portrait was a sacred bird Qingluan, but more than no longer told me, I inevitably felt a little uneasy, he talked to me about the past today, and said that after his mother died, this pot of tea was almost drunk, and there was still some residual tea left in his celadon pot, I am afraid that it has also been cold.
He spread the painting on the bookcase, carefully pressed a corner with a paperweight, he only touched the moon on the painting with his hand, the reef under the moon, the sea painted with mineral blue, but did not touch the white figure, thinking about what happened between the green luan and the moon wind.
Yuefeng didn't mean to say it, so I didn't ask anymore, but the last time Xuannu told me that Yuefeng seemed to have dealings with the demon world, I had to ask him.
In my heart, Yuefeng was a confidant, and he was willing to hear this bleak past with me, and he must have regarded me as a friend, so I asked him, "After your mother died, do you still have dealings with the demon world?"
He was looking at the painting, and when he heard my question, he looked up at me in surprise, and then sneered: "At that time, my mother broke off the relationship with the demon world in order to marry into the West Sea, and for more than 3,000 years, she was suffering alone in the West Sea and didn't see them care for a single thing. After my mother died, my grandfather, the lord of the Demon Realm, secretly sneaked to the West Sea to find me, and I didn't know how sincere I was. Later, I returned from the tribulation, was promoted to the immortal, and found an idle errand in the heavenly realm, but he still sneaked to find me, obviously worried, but I don't know, I am just a chess piece in this life. ”
He said this with a very lonely expression, but his tone was a little self-deprecating, and I didn't know why, so I asked, "Do you remember your mother's name?"
He sneered again: "My mother and I lived together in the most remote and dark mermaid hall under the West Sea, and I can't even remember her appearance, how can I remember her name, no one in the West Sea has ever asked her name." ”
I only felt that I had said something bad, so I apologized to him, and then got up to say goodbye, today is really bad luck, I hid in the bottom of my heart by the princess Zhiyu revealed, the moon breeze was kind to want to relieve me, but I was the same as that Zhiyu, but also uncovered the scars in his heart.
When people are unlucky, they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth, I don't want to go back to the Chonghua Palace at the moment, I will go to Tianhe when I get out of the Ice Palace, and I think it is best to stay with the Xuannu.
When I arrived at Wangshui Pavilion, I didn't want to see that the Sishui Shenjun, who temporarily replaced the Dongting Lake Water Monarch, was also among them, and I saw them outside the door as if they were discussing something.
Because this Wangshui Pavilion is relatively remote, there are no fairy children and fairy attendants, and there are few people who visit on weekdays, so I waited outside the door for a while, this Si Shui Shenjun should be Rong He's henchman, but this time he is here in Xuannu, presumably because Rong He did not go out of the customs, they must be discussing a very important matter.
Therefore, I stayed at the door, although no one came to this Wangshui Pavilion, but nothing was complete, so I helped them look at the door.
I don't know if they had already discussed it when I came, I only stayed at the door for a cup of tea, and Si Shui Shenjun stepped out of the pavilion, not wanting to see me at the door. At that time, when he was not sent by Rong He to the lower realm, he also had a few dealings with me, I went to heaven for the first time, and in this heavenly peach orchard, I made water for rain, and Rong He asked Si Shui Shenjun to pretend to investigate in order to protect me.
At that time, I knew that I was in trouble, so I didn't dare to ask more, but when I saw Si Shui Shenjun elsewhere, he told me that this could only be done by a person with strong spiritual power to turn water into rain in the Nine Heavens. Naturally, I don't think my spiritual power is so powerful, but at that time, the water control I made was granted by the Queen Mother, and I think it should be this reason.
Si Shui Shenjun didn't expect to see me outside the door, and after just greeting me, he said that he would guard Dongting Lake in the Nether Realm, and then left.
The movement of me talking to him attracted the attention of the Xuannu, she didn't want me to come to Wangshui Pavilion at this moment, so she only beckoned me to let me in, Xuannu's face was a little solemn, and I asked her worriedly what happened.
She said worriedly: "The Emperor of Heaven is still in retreat, and this Water God Monarch has just come to discuss with me, saying that there was an abnormality at the bottom of Dongting Lake a few days ago, and you also know who is sealed under that Dongting Lake." Fortunately, after looking at it again in the past two days, it seemed to calm down again, and he thought about coming up to tell the Emperor of Heaven, but he caught up with the Emperor of Heaven to retreat. ”
I listened to Xuannu talk about this and expressed my general understanding, but this is such a big matter according to reason, even if I can't see Rong He at the moment, I should discuss it with the county lieutenant Shenjun, how can I come to talk to Xuannu about one or two?
I told Xuannu my doubts, she sighed, as if weighing something, and then said to me: "Although I am a teacher of the Queen Mother, but I am originally a person in the heavenly realm, didn't you ask me what kind of position I hold in this heavenly palace?"
I nodded.
Xuannu said: "I don't know how to tell you in detail, it's just that my mission is to protect the throne of the successive emperors of heaven, and the immortals of the six worlds and the four seas all know that I am called the Nine Heavens Xuannu, but this is not my real name, just because my mother is the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and after her death, this immortal step fell on my head." ”
I finally understood what Xuannu meant, and I also understood why she would come to the heavenly realm to help Rong He stabilize the emperor's throne, and she only said that she was ordered by the queen mother, and I asked her what the way of heaven was, she only said lightly that the way of heaven is just a matter of taking advantage of the trend, but I never thought that this homeopathy was actually fate.
It is said that the Xuannu is thousands of years older than me, because she worshipped the Queen Mother as a teacher, so she gave birth to so many fates with me, but according to what she said, her duty is to guard the Nine Heavens and guard every superior, but why did she stay in Kunlun for so long.
Kunlun has been in the world for 2,000 years, and the Xuannu has never told me the reason for the escape, I don't know if even she doesn't know, but two thousand years ago, something must have happened.
Speaking of Yuefeng, he also said something similar to me, he said that no one had called his name for thousands of years, what about the Xuannu? Since she took over her mother's immortal steps, everyone in the world knows the Nine Heavens Xuannu, so what about this fairy standing in front of me at this moment?
Thinking about it this way, it turns out that Xuannu also has her own loneliness, I couldn't help but ask her real name, but she changed her words: "Speaking of which, do you know when the Emperor of Heaven will come out?"
This sentence stopped me, I was looking forward to Rong He's exit every day, I was worried about his immortal body, I hoped he was okay, but now I tried my best not to care about the emotions, but it was revealed, I couldn't help but guess everything between him and Qingluan, I didn't know how to face him.
Tonight the night was as cold as water, after I returned from the Xuannu, alone in my room, the window drawer in my room was opened with a jade brace, I could see the old plum tree in the courtyard through the gap between the window drawers, I looked out in a daze, and suddenly a yellowish point of light flew in from the outside along my window, floating up and down around me.
My heart moved, and I stood up, but as I moved, the point of light also moved, and flew out along the window drawer, as if to signal me to follow it out.
This is in the Chonghua Palace, and no one dares to make a mistake here, but the appearance of this point of light is really unusual, I hesitated for a moment and opened the door and walked out. The point of light was waiting for me in the night outside my window, and when I was nearby, it began to move again.
I moved with this point of light, and it led me to the outside of Rong He's study.
Because Rong He has not yet left the customs, the fairy child who will be on night duty in this hall every day has also been removed, and there is no one inside and outside the study at this time.
This point of light entered through the gap in the carved wooden door, I have been to Rong He's study many times, I have come in both when he is and when he is not there, even if there is a fairy child on duty at this moment, I guess it will not stop me.
When I entered the door, I looked around and didn't see the point of light, I was a little puzzled, thinking that the light from the night pearl in this hall was shining, so I didn't see the point of light, but when I was about to leave, I saw that at the top of the bookshelf in the box, there was a wooden box carved with red sandalwood, and the yellowed point of light was clearly extinguished outside the wooden box.
I saw that the wooden box looked a little familiar, and I thought that this was the reason why the yellow light had led me here, so I stretched out my hand and made a decision, and the wooden box came into my hand from the elevated high.
I sat down next to the bookcase and placed the wooden box on it, hesitating to open it. The yellow light has been annihilated at this moment, leaving me alone here, and heaven and man are at war in my heart.
Although I have cultivated a free way, I pay attention to a clear conscience, this move is inevitably a little ungentlemanly, this wooden box I look like the last time Rong He painted a Danqing statue for me after Rong He put my picture scroll in it.
I sat alone in this temple for a stick of incense, and finally decided to open it and look at it.
This box looks like there are some old things, and there are some picture scrolls, but there are few old things, but a plum tree, a pair of inkstones.
I opened the scroll and saw that it was the portrait that Rong He made for me last time, and I was not very satisfied with the portrait, because I felt that it was not very similar to me, and I rarely wore white clothes, but at that time Rong He looked very satisfied, and I did not open my mouth to argue.
These scrolls look like they have been preserved very well, which shows that Rong He cherishes them. Then carefully open a volume, this painting painted a peach forest, this ink is very good, look at the real spring in the Indian peach blossoms as scorching and blooming, there is a stone pavilion in a corner of the peach forest, the stone pavilion is only painted with black ink, but look at it is also very freehand.
My hands trembled slightly unconsciously, the scene on this painting, the scene on this painting is the peach forest where I grew up, and this stone pavilion is where I traveled with Rong He last time.
In front of this stone pavilion, there stood a goddess dressed in white, with a beautiful figure and a heavenly appearance, which was very similar to me.
The peach forest light rain people meet for the first time, and the peach blossom faces reflect each other.
That day, the old man of Peachtree described to me the scene when he first met Rong He, and it was reflected in my eyes, which was the moment when Qingluan and Rong He first met.
