68. Love and parting from suffering

At this time, Ling Ji had been away from Luoyang City for about four or five hours, her body could no longer support it, and she didn't know where she had been, she urgently needed a quiet place to recuperate. It was getting darker and darker, and Lingji's legs and feet were no longer obedient, she had hardly eaten for a day, and she was seriously injured, so she ran for three or four hours without recuperation, and walked slowly for an hour or two, feeling as if she was going to die, and finally fainted.

I saw an old man with white hair and crutches passing by here, helping the fainted Lingji to the cave, and was stunned after taking the pulse for Lingji.

"Old man, you saved me?"

"Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it is the duty of the old man to save people. ”

"What is the girl's name? ”

"Old man, look at your appearance and conversation, like a person in Buddhism, dare to ask the Dharma number?"

"That's just textual embellishment!"

"In that case, the little woman honorifies you as a Zen master, can you?"

"Rejoice. As soon as he finished speaking, the Zen master took out two steamed buns from his baggage and handed them all to Lingji, who took one.

"You are a wandering monk, you have worked hard to do good deeds and accumulate virtue all the way, you can eat this, and one little woman is enough. The Zen master took the steamed bun and put it in the baggage and did not enjoy it, so he meditated cross-legged on the side. Looking at the raging flames on the fire, and then looking at the Zen master who meditated on meditation, Ling Ji's heart was more tranquil and peaceful, she did not lie down and sleep, but meditated on the side like a Zen master.

The next day, the sun shone directly on the entrance of the cave, very bright, very warm, Lingji felt more and more comfortable, but when she got up, there was no trace of the Zen master. After tidying up, she was walking out when she bumped into the Zen master.

"The internal poison has not been cleared, and the body is sick, do you want to leave?"

"The Zen master used too much internal strength and physical strength to heal me, and even if she was not healed, the little woman did not dare to work anymore. ”

"This morning, I got a yaoqin and played a few heart songs for the donor to relieve the donor's earthly depression. The Zen master took off the Yaoqin box on his back, opened the case, and took out the guqin. After observing Lingji, she said: "Tang Qin is the first to push Lei Gong, and the nine thunders in Shuzhong are dominant. ”

"The donor is so sharp-eyed!"

After thinking about it, Lingji said: "As long as the streamer makes a move, such a guqin can be found everywhere in the market, but the streamer has principles, and the person who can get this qin must be his bosom friend. Among the Tang Qin, Lei Gongqin is the most. Among the nine thunders in Shu, Lei Wei has achieved the most. And among the pianos that Lei Wei has cut in his life, spring thunder is the most. Therefore, among the guqin gods, Chunlei is the most precious priceless treasure. How can everyone think about it, and everyone can get it?"

Indeed, it is the spring thunder, which is the masterpiece of Lei Wei, a family of violin makers in the Tang Dynasty, with a deep and clear rhyme, and the beauty of Tang Qin pine and penetration, which is the most suitable for Buddhism. However, the skill of the streamer ranks first on the craft list, and compared with it, it is even better. ”

"Little girl, I would like to listen to the teachings of the Zen master. The Zen master put down the yaoqin in his hand, and once again used internal force to dredge the meridians for Lingji, and after eliminating some evil poison in the body, Lingji used a steamed bun and meditated cross-legged, and the Zen master shook his fingers and plucked the strings.

——

Wan Qiping and Jin Yao informed the world of the living arrangements of the remaining disciples in the Yin and Yang Room and the Ghost Valley one by one. At this time, several disciples sent by Sikong Ripple had already informed Lang Yu and Rong Quan of their unhindered injuries to the main hall and several martial arts seniors such as the Divine Operator.

"Mother, is Daddy's health okay?" Wan Qiping said.

"The residual poison is cleared, but your father is old after all, and his body is not as good as before, this time he has injured his organs, and he has no heart to deal with the affairs of martial arts, he intends to pass on the position to Ziqian. ”

"Daddy has been the leader of the alliance for several years, the child is in his eyes, his mission and responsibility are not what the child can do, and the child has no ability to do it, he just wants to be an ordinary person, marry Ziying, go back to the countryside to serve his father and mother together, and live a plain and stable life. ”

"Father and mother have lived a hard life for most of their lives, and they have always hoped that you and Jue'er will live happily, so your father has never wanted you to participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which is also his heart disease, and now you have this sudden enlightenment, which is also a kind of creation. ”

"Now that the ghost valley and yin and yang no longer exist, the rivers and lakes are stable, the world is peaceful, and my father's heart is also at peace. Tomorrow, the child will go to issue a hero post and hand over the power of the alliance leader to Ziqian. ”

"When I grow up, whatever decision I make, my mother and parents support it. After hearing this, Wan Qiping held his mother's hand and looked at her affectionately.

——

At the end of the song, Lingji felt very happy and comfortable, and silently recited in her heart: "A meditation mantra, all kinds of troubles, do not disturb the heart." ”

She took a deep breath of fresh air, opened her eyes slightly, and said: "The melody of this song makes heaven, earth and man blend, and makes people enter the realm of pure and ethereal. It's wonderful!"

"The meditation mantra is also a meditation mantra and a pure heart mantra. All living beings are troubled, and all troubles are suffering. Troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased. The visible is born of the invisible, the incapable is born of being, and the being is returned to nothing. The environment is born from the heart. If you recite the meditation mantra, you will not be swayed by your emotions. The Zen master said.

"When you are quiet, your heart is clear, and your body is cold. Immovable control of all movements. Isn't that right?"

"The girl has a wise root. can observe the donor, whether it is the matter in the heart that has not been eliminated. ”

"Zen Master, that's right. Easier said than done. Lingji got up and knelt down and said, "Zen master, can you teach this song to the little girl?"

"Convenience with others is a common thing. However, the donor must not be physically and mentally exhausted, nor can he consume too much internal strength, otherwise, all the hard work will not save the girl's life. ”

"The little woman doesn't know how to thank the Zen master, so please bow to me here. And he bowed down. Seeing this, the Zen master helped Lingji up before leaving.

In the evening, the donor cleaned up the residual poison for Lingji again, and with this song, it will definitely clear the heart and calm the mind, so that the donor can recover his strength as soon as possible. ”

"Everything is up to the Zen master. ”

The next morning, Lingji woke up but did not see the Zen master, trotted out of the cave and looked at it but was still missing, thinking in her heart that it must be far away, so she no longer looked forward to it. But Lingji knew that the Zen master worked hard, calmed the heart of chaos with the sound of the piano, and in the deep sleep, he used deep internal force to assist in healing, so that the evil qi of the internal force was eliminated and he was able to survive, how important these internal forces are for a master. But the Zen master didn't know the scene of the person he saved, Lingji was ashamed that she was not qualified to ask the Zen master to spend internal strength, she took advantage of the Zen master's outing, and Lingji decided to leave.

I don't think about being a monk, and I really don't know where to go.

He also said that the great evil in the world has been eliminated, the disputes have been eliminated, the rivers and lakes are peaceful, and there is no more turmoil.

——

Since Lingji recovered, the idea of going home was decided, and before leaving, she was going to a place, and then to the ghost valley full of longing, although it was long gone, and it was indeed those memories of the past that could not be erased.

Lang Ji and Rong Quan searched around the yin and yang room in turn, and they were slightly anxious and irritable because they did not find the shadow of Lingji for two or three miles around, and because the two of them had not completed their recovery from their injuries, they took the pills prepared by Sikong Ripple two or three times to maintain their strength.

"Where will Lingji go?"

"She also has serious injuries on her body, maybe she has left here after recovering from the nearest treatment, maybe we delayed a little time, she is far away, we can't catch up. ”

"And where will she go?"

Rong Quan sat on the ground with Lang Yu, thinking about it, a person appeared in his mind, and said urgently: "He will definitely go to Wan Qian Mansion." ”

"Leng Ji's body is still in Leng Yuan. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "It's too late to rush back now." That she.... , I also thought of a place where she would definitely go. ”

After the two looked at each other, they said in unison: "It's Ghost Valley." ”

——

Since the government took charge of the Ghost Valley, they have searched here inside and out, where they have clearly and filed and placed, and the pattern has changed according to the configuration specifications of the government, even if everything here is destroyed, for Lingji, who grew up here, can still find their former positions.

She returned to Xuanpu along the secret passage, unfortunately Manzhu's brother's grave was missing, and a balance was reached between here and other places, comparing the old and new soil, and there was a big tree as an indicator, so she found the address of Manzhu's brother's grave, Lingji wanted to engrave the information on the bamboo board, and then cut a small hole in the body of the tree and put it in, she knew that this stout tree was close to Manzhu's brother's grave, and she would definitely look for it here. When I was a child, we played games, we often hid things, the most powerful thing is Manzhu's brother's small belongings, we can't find it, and then I learned that he was hidden in the tree hole, I think my sister can't find it, she will think that she will leave a message in this tree.

The body of Su Xi's sister was hurriedly buried that day, and later it was Mei Ji who repeatedly persuaded Lord Ye Ji to use firefly to turn her sister's body into ashes and place it in a general's bottle, and then hid the bottle under the lake in the north, this kindness Ling Ji will always remember in her heart, she will not forget Mei Ji's teaching and help to her, and she will never forget it in this life.

Lingji dived under the lake, took out Su Xi's sister's ashes in the deep sea, and was stunned as soon as she landed on the shore.

——

Lang Ji and Rong Quan slowly approached Lingji, looking at each other, still pure and feminine women, still outstanding men, the three of them stood for a while and did not speak, just quietly reminisced about the beautiful picture that had happened.

No matter how beautiful the past is, no matter how sincere the love is, it is like a dream, why bother obsessing about things that have no results, or things that have been destined to come to fruition, there are few encounters, but their inner scattered characters can guess that they are the sons of rich and noble families, and they still have supreme power in their hands, no matter how much they desire, it is impossible to follow their hearts under the rules of power.

When I go home, I must go home, the secret of the Liuji Cotton Company, my own identity, and the man in black has not been eradicated? These things have always been entangled in my heart, and I must know them, and I can only know them after I go home and ask my father and mother.

Giving up is a sad thing, but giving up is also the beginning of having.

Lingji approached them and said, "Tomorrow, I will go home." ”

Life is very pure and pure, but the meaning of life is extremely complicated, and it is always impossible to live for yourself, so why bother yourself and others.

In my heart, my father and mother urged me to go home soon, I wanted to talk to Lingji, but now in such a scene, I am afraid that there is no time, Lang Yu said melancholy: "It's getting late, you and I ......." ”

glanced at Rong Quan and said: "There is also Brother Rong, it is fate to meet each other, it is better to take advantage of tonight, the only night, to go to Chang'an Tower together." ”

Although Rong Quan didn't have such an idea, he was very much in favor of such an approach, saying: "It's a practice for you, but there are still some things to say." ”

Ling Ji didn't think about it, and said directly: "My family temporarily lives in Yupei Building, and they have been waiting for me, I'm afraid I can't let you get your wish." ”

Although the ghost valley disappeared from the world, the jade pendant building, which belongs to the charm of the house, is still thriving, and the spirit queen let her family settle in the jade pendant building first, which belongs to the bazaar, and it is a very serious shop, no one cares.

Lang Yu was reluctant and aggressive: "Occupy you for a moment." ”

"I know what you're trying to say?"

Rong Quan said: "Although the ghost valley and the yin and yang have been eradicated, the secret of Liuji Mianlian still stays on the girl. ”

Lang Yu added: "Not only that, but the man in black has not appeared so far, and he has no clue at all. ”

"You want to find out, let me be careful. ”

"The girl came home, perhaps to lure the wolf into the house. ”

Lang Ji couldn't hide the admiration and impulse in his heart, and said, "When I finish all the things at hand, I will definitely go to your house to find you." ”

"What?"

"Lingji, you understand my mind, what I care, I will definitely do it. ”

Lingji couldn't hide the heat in her heart, she suddenly turned around and adjusted her breath, and said calmly: "I have attendants, family members, nurses, and many killers in my family, my father will definitely not let his daughter be killed, even if the secret of Liuji Mianlian is solved, it is also related to my family, as for the man in black is nothing more than wanting to get the hidden treasures and martial arts in Liuji Mianlian, our family will not let him get his wishes." ”

"What I decided will not change, and I can go home after helping you deal with things. ”

She has already guessed her identity, and she has long known that many things should not be clarified to respect the other party, because it is not the identity that is involved, but the person. Langji really wants to make herself a bond with Lingji, in fact, she also knows that from Lingji's eyes and behavior, she can interpret her inner feelings of love for herself but can't, this silent confession is very precious to herself, Langji believes that they will definitely meet again.

I also have a lot of things to take care of, what Lang Yu wants, I can't give it to myself now, that person has been waiting for him at home for several years, those childhood memories can never be forgotten, and his father and mother are not allowed to be disobedient, and he can't lose his trust in that family. I have heard that there are many families who marry their daughters to him, he did not hesitate to refuse, and also drove those women out of the mansion one by one, this love that is obsessed with their own love, sticking to their commitments to each other, how can they be selfish and betrayal, more family rules and constraints, and more family supervision, if you lose faith in the clan, then the prestige and reputation of the father and mother will be swept away in an instant, no, really not .......

"Yes, but I think you'd better go home first. ”

"I want you to wait for me. ”

Lingji said something against her will: "Okay. ”

Rong Quan knew that he didn't have much hope, but he also had to show her his heart, saying, "I want to talk to the girl alone." ”

"Good. ”

Lang Yu showed a touch of indifference, and then smiled lightly.

Lingji pursed her lips and smiled at Lang Ji.

——

"I know that love needs to be happy, and the girl's mind is not on Langji, let alone on me. ”

"It's not. ”

"What's that?"

"I hope you're all well, really well. ”

"Okay, if there is no girl, everything will not be fine, so Rongquan only wants the girl to be safe and healthy, and everything will go well. ”

Losing it seems that life is eclipsed, and this state of mind can only be understood by men and women who are in love.

"Then I ask you, are you leaving your family so that I can do it?"

The trajectory of life seems to have been arranged, as long as we are born, we have been living on the set track, everything has long been doomed, including love, how can we owe our own wives and children?

True feelings, bluntly said: "No." But like is like, and I never regret it. Even if the girl doesn't have a trace of liking for me, or half of it, Rongquan will do his best to protect the girl for a lifetime, and even give up her life without regrets. ”

"Your sincere enthusiasm is remembered by Lingji and will never be forgotten in this life. ”

The renunciation that can't be obtained is also a kind of relief, as long as she is stable and happy in this life, even if she is not in one place, it is a sweet thing. He drank under the sun and moon, and perhaps she could see her tenderness in the aroma, which was also intoxicating.

"I love my family, and the girl loves her family, and we each bless each other. ”

There are amorous men everywhere in the world, but there are indeed only a handful of people who are responsible for love, Lingji knows that Rongquan is not Rongquan, and his identity Luo Chuan and Fan have been informed.

"I will remember you and hope that we will have the opportunity to meet again in this life. ”

Loving someone is thinking a lot, and I've been worrying about it, and I don't know why some ominous premonitions appear in my mind from time to time, although I don't fully believe it, but the premonition of goodbye still makes Rongquan melancholy.

"Yes, definitely. ”

"Say goodbye. ”

"Brother Lang Yu is right, be careful of the people in black, and you must take precautions at home, just in case. ”

"Thank you. ”

——

"Brother Langji, he will see you every day, and I hope that you and I can live in peace without any miscellaneous matters. ”

"It's selfish to love someone, and I'm also a mortal. ”

"I know, but it's just a luxury. ”

After saying that, Rong Quan left alone.

Looking at the figure that is gradually moving away, it is really sad.

The remaining two people who are intimate with each other are extraordinarily restrained and ambiguous, and the solidification of a moment makes the hearts of the two of them thump and jump in a hurry, Lingji is a little moved and seems clueless, I don't know what to say? In an instant, the white and tender face was flushed, and he couldn't help but take Lingji's warm and soft hand and his heart moved, and the thought of pulling her into his arms arose.

Lang Ji really can't bear the sadness of parting, love to the depths but can't be placed, loss and heartache make him move casually, but unfortunately just hugged Lingji into his arms, but was broken by a voice A rare skin kiss.

The little girl ran straight over, made a big salute, and said, "Miss, we should prepare and set off as soon as possible." ”

Didn't you say tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?

Lang Yu withdrew his hands, turned around and saw a woman in a light yellow robe, younger than Ling Ji, but her appearance was very fresh, like a beautiful mountain scenery, and it was refreshing to look at her.

Lingji looked a little panicked, her hands didn't know how to place, and her eyes were uncertain.

"This is ....... ”

"My lord specially ordered a fan to welcome the young lady back home. ”

"Pink fan?"

"Yes. ”

"In Xia Langji, since we met, it is better to go into the city together, sit down and chat, and then go after resting and rectifying. ”

"The son is rude, my lord quickly ordered the young lady to return home as soon as possible, and there is no time to delay. ”

"It's getting late, and it's agreed to leave tomorrow morning. ”

"Miss left home for a few years, Mrs. really missed, every time she thought of it, she burst into tears and never slept day after day, the whole person was clear and showed her bones, and the old man missed it even more, and from time to time she would go to Miss Boudoir to sit in a simple and simple place and fall into deep memories and could not extricate herself, and she was very tired and old. So the time changed, and tonight will be the departure. ”

Thinking of this, Lang Ji stared at Lingji affectionately and said, "I will go to you after the family is decided." ”

"Hmm. Lingji lowered her head and whispered softly between her eyebrows.

The pink fan attached to Lingji, and whispered: "The young general is going crazy waiting for the young lady in the Yupei Building, and the young lady must not be rash and delay the hour." ”

As he spoke, he unceremoniously pulled Lingji to leave.

Lingji looked back at Lang Ji all the time, unable to settle down for a long time.

Lang Yu secretly followed, personally sent her to the Jade Pei Building, and saw a man, the pink fan called him a major general, tall figure, hard face, holding a long knife, a young young major general.

"Miss, we'll leave tonight. ”

"Brother Luo Chuan, I'm a little sleepy, rest for a while before setting off. ”

Madame instructed the young lady to focus on everything, and not to let the young lady make any mistakes, and this fan did not tell Luo Chuan what he saw, so as not to let Luo Chuan think too much.

Lingji lay on the soft floor and couldn't sleep, but she still had to pretend to be asleep, she was just a little reluctant, and Lang Ji outside the window looked at ...... without squinting.

In less than half an hour, Lingji adjusted her mood, changed into a black robe under the careful service of the pink fan, got into a gorgeous sedan and walked all the way to the northeast, standing on the hill outside the city, looking down at the distant carriage and refusing to leave .......

Lingji in the sedan chair sat cross-legged, calm and relaxed and couldn't see that she had a trace of sadness, but the fan sitting on the side clearly read the forbearance and pain in Lingji's heart, and she couldn't cry out, which was indeed pitiful and sympathetic.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded, and the five men dismounted and saluted, and the leading elder said, "Childe, it's time for us to go home." ”

The words fell for a long time, and he was still kneeling on his knees.

Lang Yu knew the feeling of being out of reach, he finally shed a line of tears, and said after a long sigh: "Return... Family. ”

Hop on the steed, pull the reins, and go home with a bang, drawing an end to the parting.

Clouds of dust rolled up where the horses had stepped .......
