Chapter 158: One Night, Xiangjun has a lot of gray hair
Then he saw the man on the other end of the boat slightly stunned, staring straight at himself, as if he was guessing what was on his mind.
The red lady didn't speak, only tightened her arms slightly—as if this way she could protect herself better and make people invisible.
But he still looked at Li Yunxin intently.
After a long time, I heard her Li Lang whispering, "You have rejected me." I...... All I think about now is my brother's hatred. ”
He glanced at the red lady and quickly ran away from the other party's gaze: "Children's private affairs...... Who would not have the personal feelings of their children? It's just that...... It is unrighteous to think about that at this time. ”
"Then you still care. The red lady sighed slightly, but her voice quickly disappeared with the wind, "What I want, where does anyone know? ”
She looked away and patted the side of the boat with one hand. So the ship stopped.
At this moment, the two of them had been walking towards Dongting Lake for three quarters of an hour, and when they looked up, there was only the night sky in all directions.
The boat and the cave are like being encased in a barrel made of the sky, and the sky around it is etched with clouds gilded by the moonlight. The brilliant sea of stars was upside down above their heads, and reflected in this cave court—
The sky and the sea are boundless, and the boat is lonely.
When the ship stopped, so did the wind and the waves.
The red lady stood up and stood at the bow of the boat. She glanced at the vast Dongting Lake and said faintly: "Look at this thousand miles of Dongting. From a mortal's point of view, it is vast and magnificent. But to me, to my father, it's just a cage. ”
"This cave is thousands of miles in circumference, almost like the ocean. But my father's true body is three hundred zhang long—he has his true body, but he can't swim in this cave garden. ”
"My father was born in this cave and attained enlightenment three thousand years ago. Trapped in this lake 2,000 years ago. Although I have not lived long, I have been able to understand my father's suffering. He took pity on the water tribe in the lake, which had not appeared in its true form for a thousand years. The most important thing I've ever said to me is—"
"If you can swim in the ocean, you will have no regrets in this life......"
Li Yunxin didn't speak. Holding the side of the boat with both hands, he saw the red lady with her back to him, like a fairy in the lake in the night.
He knew one thing in his heart.
When people die and spirits die, there will be souls. And this soul. Incomplete, lost mind, even if he becomes a ghost cultivator in the future...... There are still obsessions.
According to his own words, he had no worries in his heart when he died, so he had no obsession - it was just wishful thinking.
He must have an obsession, but neither he nor Li Yunxin are aware of it for the time being.
This red lady is no exception. She must also have obsessions.
Obsession is the biggest cover door for ghost cultivators. Attachment will cause them to lose their basic judgment when facing many things - once there is a factor related to that obsession, their attention will immediately be attracted and become confused.
If you can really "have no worries when you die, you can have no attachments" - that person cultivates and cultivates the immortality of a ghost. It's all dead and cultivating the way of God.
Previously, Li Yunxin couldn't see the obsession of the red lady. She...... It's too much like an ordinary woman.
Except for the "cruelty" shared by some demons.
But this kind of cruelty is in Li Yunxin's opinion-a woman looks at the children playing in the courtyard with pity, and talks to her mother-in-law softly, while cutting off the head of a rooster with a knife-
Isn't this demonic cruelty?
So this red lady is still very normal.
However, for now. Li Yunxin thinks that she is slowly knowing where her "obsession" is.
So he listened quietly to the woman in red in the sound of the water, above the night cave.
"Do you know how I offended your friend?" the red lady turned around and smiled slightly, "I was only a red carp before. My mother was a human being, but I was born with the inheritance of my father. I was born as a demon body in the virtual realm, and in this cave court, no one dares to disobey me. ”
"I don't make it. But I also know that the dragon is powerful - it is a big demon close to the real realm, and it is a dragon body. How could I ...... Go to Weishui to provoke him. And even if I want to go to Weishui. I can't get out either. ”、
"My monarch father was imprisoned in Dongting, and I have his bloodline, and I am also imprisoned. That's why I said that this huge cave is just a cage. ”
Li Yun thought for a moment and asked softly, "What kind of person has such a great ability?" ”
"I can't tell you now. The red lady smiled slightly. Looking at Li Yunxin's eyes, he became softer and softer-this was completely different from the woman two days ago.
"Therefore, it was actually my father who asked me to deliberately provoke the dragon. And I have been in this cave for two hundred years, and I can't get out of the lake...... I'd love to see the egret town and see the guys with the names of people. Is it really as alive as my Father's story suggests? ”
"So I was deposed by the dragon and became a red carp. suffered a little, but in the end he became this ghost cultivator. I didn't know if I could really get around the ban by doing so...... But now it looks like it's done. I have become a ghost cultivator, I can leave Dongting, I can go to Egret Continent, and I can do something for my father. ”
The red lady smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked at Li Yunxin: "But Li Lang should know that we ghost cultivators are obsessed." Li Lang's obsession is your brother's hatred. Or rather...... Persistence is love. ”
"And my obsession ......," the red lady said here, and sat down slowly.
With his feet overboard, he kicked a pair of embroidered shoes into the water with just a rub. A pair of snow-white jade feet poked into the lake and stirred gently.
The waves rippled outward. The red lady stared at the water wave for a while, supporting the side of the boat with both hands, leaning back slightly, and turning her head to look at Li Yunxin: "When I was a demon body, I often listened to a person reading by the lake. Listen to him read. The sound of reading is very good. ”
"Li Lang, did you study before you died?"
Li Yunxin's gaze was gentle, and his voice was also gentle. He smiled lightly: "My parents are dead, and my family is poor. Before his death, he only studied elementary school and the meaning of words, and never read the history of the Bible. ”
"I don't understand what you're saying. But it's good. The red lady smiled slightly, "In the past, Du Sheng also said something I didn't understand, but it was good, but now he doesn't remember...... He was mortal after all. It's a ghost, and it's even more chaotic. ”
"That'...... Li Lang. Do you know how to compose poetry?"
Li Yunxin shook his head and smiled: "I can copy poems." ”
The red lady blinked happily—at least at this time, she was like a truly beautiful little girl: "Li Lang copied a poem to me." ”
"Good. ”
Li Yunxin closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the water vapor above the cave.
Then he whispered—
"The west wind blows the old Dongting waves,
Xiangjun has a lot of gray hair overnight.
When drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water,
A boat full of dreams presses the galaxy. ”
This poem, which he pronounced in ancient rhyme, was long and poignant.
And after reading this poem. The red lady stopped talking.
She stared at the water in a daze, then closed her eyes again. After being silent for a long, long time, he turned his head and smiled at Li Yunxin: "It's so good." Li Lang, who is Xiangjun?"
Li Yunxin smiled softly and tapped the palm with the folding fan in his hand: "Look at my fan, I bought it from a shop on the street side of Weicheng." Are there spots on the fan bones, like tears?"
The red lady widened her beautiful eyes and took a closer look, um.
"So this bone is made of tear bamboo. ”
"Legend has it that once upon a time there was an emperor on earth. It's called Emperor Shun. There is also a river called the Xiang River. There is a monster in the Xiangjiang River, which often harms people. So Emperor Shun went to Xiangjiang to eliminate the harm. ”
His two wives waited for him for a long time and did not come back, so they went to the Xiangjiang River to look for him. only to learn that Emperor Shun had died after removing the monster. Emperor Shun's two wives wept bitterly, and their tears splashed on the bamboo, and they became this tearful bamboo. And the Emperor of Heaven thanked Emperor Shun for his merits and named him the water god of the Xiangjiang River - that is, Xiangjun. ”
"Ah...... My father is Dongtingjun. The red lady sighed lowly, "That Li Lang." Do you want to be a Weishui-kun?"
Li Yunxin's eyelashes trembled slightly.
The moment he heard the last sentence, dozens of thoughts crossed his mind. He quickly grabbed a few. But they all let go. Eventually, he let out a very slight breath and smiled calmly: "I've never thought that far." ”
The red lady was silent for a while, and then smiled.
"That's why I love listening to people read poetry. After listening to it for a long time, you can hear some flavors. For example, when I knew that Li Lang was not happy at all when he read this poem, he had a lot of emotion. ”
"My father, feeling that he owes me something wrong, wants to make it up to me. I love that world. I love the way men and women are together, and my father wants Du Sheng to accompany me. The red lady looked at the ripples in the lake, "I used to listen to people reading by the lake, and I listened to him." ”
But he was completely changed, and he was confused. I only read one sentence in my mouth all day. ”
"Li Lang was born prettier than him, and he spoke smarter than him. The first time I met Li Lang...... Actually...... I just like it. ”
The red lady looked at Li Yunxin again, her eyes were calm and clear.
And Li Yunxin also looked at her: "But...... Red lady, a few days ago—"
"For though I loved thee then, I could not bear thy affliction, and feared that my father would not let me. The red lady looked at him, "But now my monarch tells me that since I like it, it doesn't hurt to take it." Oh my obsession. It's ......"
Li Yunxin sighed in his heart. He knows the obsession of this red lady-
"—I want someone to love me well. The red lady's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she said softly, "I told you before that it's still too late to go away to the end of the world and become a free ghost cultivator." To this day...... I'll tell you again, my father was confined in Dongting Lake and couldn't get out. You want my father to go to Weicheng to avenge your friend, and it is impossible—you can only wait, wait for a long, long time, and maybe you will have a chance. ”
"—Now that you know this, I ask you again: Aren't you leaving?"
Li Yunxin was silent for a while: "Don't go." ”
He doesn't want to go because he wants to prove one thing or one person. I also think that this is a good opportunity to get to know Dongtingjun.
If this red lady really took him to Dongtingjun's lair......
He will be able to know more and make his plans more detailed!
That Dongting Jun may be a great demon, but he is not a lowly "ghost cultivator Li Yunxin".
These days, the momentum of the Divine Dragon Sect has been quite huge, plus the Nine Thunder and Fire caused by him in the battle in the night city before-The people in Weicheng remembered the storm caused by the Nine Princes in Weicheng a few days ago, and they all said directly, "The Weishui Dragon King has appeared again"-
So now he has broken through the virtual realm and returned to the transformation realm.
As long as that Dong Tingjun can't see through him for a while, but even if he is wary of him and doesn't exert all his strength against him, he will be safe and can escape at any time.
So...... Don't go.
The red lady seemed to know that he would answer like this. stared at him for a while, and suddenly there was a layer of water vapor in his eyes.
"You insist on doing so. A smile bloomed on her lips, "What the hell are you ...... And love me too. ”
“...... You are so different. ”
Li Yunxin sighed slightly. He knew that it was the red lady's obsession that occupied her mind.
But before he could think about the deeper meaning of the sentence "You are so different", he saw the red lady suddenly raise her hand gently in the moonlight, revealing a snow-white and smooth little arm.
Then the slender fingers danced gently like water waves, and the voice was clear and graceful, and a strange tune was whispered in his mouth—
"The gentleman is in service, and he doesn't know the period——"
"The sun is shining, Mu Yun is coming-"
She sang these four sentences three times, then turned her head, smiled at Li Yunxin and whispered: "Li Lang, she is here." ”
So this Dongting Lake ......
It boiled.
Clouds.
Large clusters of clouds.
Large clouds of snow-white, thick clouds rose from the water not far from them.
It was like a thick mist, and it was like a cloud of green smoke. Every time a bubble rises from the bottom of the water and bursts on the surface of the water, such a cloud of white gas is released.
Then the cloud slowly rose, staying in the air for tens of meters, gilded with silver by the moonlight.
Suddenly...... It became a dreamy, fairytale-like world.
It was as if the sky above me was filled with lots and lots of marshmallows, and then ......
There were also white four-legged animals, rising from the water.
When the white animals came to the water, it was as if the surface of the water had become a hard ground. Hundreds of heads...... The animal walked slowly back and forth in a body of water in front of it, and the clouds floating in the sky were slowly rising from their heads.
Li Yunxin gently inhaled a breath and spit it out gently.
100 meters apart, ordinary people, can't see clearly.
But he saw it clearly.
Those animals...... It's people.
Hundreds of white and chubby people, naked and on all fours, slowly walked on the water. A curling white mist rose from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, eventually converging into clouds in mid-air.
Those clouds......
It is yang energy and essence energy.
The red lady squinted her eyes slightly, looked at the scene in the moonlight, and sighed lowly: "When I was young, I had troubles in my heart, so I came to see them Muyun." It is said that the immortals eat and drink dew, and the demons also like it. But the taste of wind and dew is light and pure, but Renyang is sweet and rich. ”
"When the moon is full, the white forest comes out to herd the clouds, and after a month, it is ready to harvest. (To be continued.) )
