Chapter 31: Two Qualities of Life

Meng Lingru took Zhang Zhiping to visit the garden, and the conversation between the two sides gradually shifted from flowers to other aspects.

Meng Lingru lost his mother when he was a child, and when he was six years old, he discovered this strange disease in his body, and after being examined by a famous doctor, he needed to eat a lot of tonic medicine to maintain his life. Fortunately, the Meng family is a famous family in the Zhou Kingdom, and Meng Shouyi found a large number of tonic medicines for her, which made her survive safely. When Meng Lingru was a child, her condition was not serious, and she only needed to take a certain amount of tonic every day to be no different from ordinary people, so although the Meng family was very strange about the cause of this disease, they didn't care about it.

Zhou Jing is the third daughter of the emperor of the current dynasty, when the emperor of this dynasty was still the prince, in order to win over Meng Shouyi, he brought his daughter to the Meng Mansion as a guest, and the two met. Zhou Jing is five years older than Meng Lingru, in Meng Lingru's heart when she was a child, Zhou Jing has always been the person she admires, she can talk and laugh with many adults at a young age, help her father deal with various government affairs, be wise and decisive, and do not let her eyebrows, so her personality is affected by Zhou Jing a lot. It was only later that Meng Lingru learned that Zhou Jing had always had one thing that she hated, that is, she had no spiritual root, she heard Zhou Jing say that she would never forget the contemptuous eyes of the immortal cultivator who checked her qualifications in the first place.

Three years later, Meng Lingru met Zheng Changfa through Zhou Jing, and she didn't have a good impression of the fat Zheng Changfa at first, because she often saw Zheng Changfa staring at Zhou Jing in a daze, really like a fat pig. A year later, Meng Lingru's condition suddenly worsened, no matter what medicine she took, she couldn't get better, at this time, Zheng Changfa saw Meng Lingru, found out that Meng Lingru's body was abnormal, and decisively gave her a Qi Nourishing Pill, which saved her life.

From then on, the Qi Nourishing Pill that Meng Lingru needed was basically provided by Zheng Changfa, and since she only had an illness once a year at that time, the burden was not too heavy. The Meng Mansion handed over all the precious medicinal materials collected to Zheng Changfa in exchange for the Qi Nourishing Pill, and she later learned that the value of these medicinal materials was far less than that of the Qi Nourishing Pill. Only then did Meng Lingru get to know Zheng Changfa again, knowing that he had a benevolent personality, and he was more than a step stronger than the rest of the arrogant immortal cultivators.

Zhou Qian is two years younger than Meng Lingru, the younger brother of the emperor of the current dynasty, the only daughter of King Xin, and was also introduced by Zhou Jing. For this lively, cute, smart and clever little sister, Meng Lingru also likes it, and the three of them have become good friends since then, and they often play together.

Meng Lingru's condition worsened again when he was sixteen years old, and he actually needed to take a pill of Qi Nourishing Pill a month, which was naturally an unbearable thing for the Meng Mansion, who was just a mortal family, so Meng Shouyi asked for the royal family. At that time, the prince has now become the emperor, and in order to thank Meng Shouyi for his kindness, he promised to provide him with a Qi Nourishing Pill every year if Meng Shouyi can fulfill his duties. Meng Shouyi has been conscientious since then and firmly stood on the emperor's side. And her eldest brother Meng Shouyi is making friends everywhere, hoping to get Qi Nourishing Pills from other places. It's just that it's really difficult for mortals to enter the eye of immortal cultivators, and the qi nourishing pills that the two of them got are limited, and most of them are still provided by Zheng Changfa, and the Meng Mansion is very grateful to Zheng Changfa, and Chen Yu's proposal was notified in advance by Meng Shouyi.

Meng Lingru introduced her experience like someone else, although she only briefly skipped her condition, Zhang Zhiping was still keenly aware of the seriousness of Meng Lingru's condition. Now I need one pill of Qi Nourishing Pill a month, and how much will I need after I get worse? At that time, I am afraid that Zheng Changfa may not be willing to bear it. Zheng Changfa has helped Meng Lingru for many years for free, and as a friend, he has done his duty, and if he takes care of it in the future, I am afraid that it will affect the immortal journey, after all, he still has a Zhou Jing who needs help.

Perhaps because of the attraction of some similar qualities, Meng Lingru unconsciously shed tears and said what was in his heart to Zhang Zhiping. She has faced collapse many times during the pain, but she can't let go of friendship and family affection, for her, she is like a person who has fallen into the water, family and friendship are the straw in front of her, so that she is always struggling between life and death, she feels that she has reached a pole, and she does not know when she will completely collapse.

Zhang Zhiping listened to Meng Lingru's words in his heart, and finally knew why he always had a kind of sympathy for her, this is because Meng Lingru's life has always been full of struggles for death, she hovers between death and life, for her, life is a struggle, and a little relaxation will be completely lost.

Zhang Zhiping looked at Meng Lingru, whose face was full of tears, sighed lightly in his heart, and told his experience for many years. He didn't say anything about his past life, but a feeling.

Zhang Zhiping said that he experienced a ghost press when he was a child, not really possessed by a ghost, but a state of being unable to control the body to wake up from sleep. Ordinary people recover from it very quickly, but he was somehow in a state of ghost pressing the bed for the whole day. At that time, Zhang Zhiping said that he felt that he could not move, and that he had been falling into a bottomless abyss.

At first, he couldn't feel the outside world, he was very afraid, gradually he couldn't feel the light, his heart was full of fear, then he couldn't even feel himself, only despair, and finally, he didn't even feel hopeless, he didn't feel anything, his mind seemed to stop working. He was swallowed up by endless darkness, as if it were 100 million years, and as if it were a moment, and suddenly, he came to his senses, and at this time, he had everything, and the world returned to his heart.

Zhang Zhiping described his experience in the form of a ghost pressing the bed, muttering: "People, there is always something lacking and wanting, the blind longing for light, the deaf longing for sound, what is not always good, I had nothing at that time, and naturally felt that the whole world was good." ”

He experienced nothingness after being swallowed up by the endless darkness, and he couldn't even feel it, so after his reincarnation, he was afraid and longed, afraid to return to the endless darkness again, and at the same time longed, greedily enjoyed everything in the world, as he said, when there is nothing, everything is excellent for him, so now, every moment is a pleasure for him.

Meng Lingru's life is struggling, Zhang Zhiping's life is enjoying, both of them are so extreme, opposing each other but attracting each other. Zhang Zhiping's sympathy for Meng Lingru comes from his horror of the darkness, and he deeply sympathizes with Meng Lingru who is always on the edge of darkness; Meng Lingru is full of envy for Zhang Zhiping, and she very much hopes that her life will be easier, instead of being surrounded by pain all the time.

Meng Lingru was like a child seeing a favorite toy, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to Zhang Zhiping. Zhang Zhiping hesitated, did not dodge, stepped forward and gently hugged Meng Lingru. Meng Ling also forgot his shyness at this time, just like a child got the toy he wanted, he smiled contentedly, and then gently snuggled his head against Zhang Zhiping's chest.

Time is quiet, the two enjoy the beauty of this moment, not about the love between men and women, but the attraction, struggle and enjoyment of the two life characteristics, throughout the beginning and end of life, the two are closely combined.

"Ahh?!!!h

A sudden voice interrupted the warmth of the two, and the two reacted, hurriedly separated, turned their heads to look, and saw Zhou Qian covering her mouth and looking at the two in surprise. There was a strange man beside her, and after Zhang Zhiping saw it for the first time, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was: perfection.

He put away the folding fan in a chic manner, and saluted smoothly, and the magnetic voice of the person who came sounded: "Excuse me, Xiaosheng Zhang Xusheng, I have seen two." ”
