Hearing this, Bai Peony chuckled, but didn't mention it again, but turned his head to look at Lu Dongbin, "Yes, it's all over, don't mention it if you don't mention it, why don't you ask me, why did you disappear after kneeling and knocking to the purple bamboo forest, and now, why did you suddenly appear here again?"

"Yes, didn't you say that I almost forgot, what's going on? Didn't the fairy Gu say that you knelt down three times and knocked nine times to go to the Purple Bamboo Forest to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Lu Dongbin also hurriedly asked when he heard this.

Hearing this, Bai Peony stood up, walked to the window and said, "At the beginning, I knelt down and knocked to the purple bamboo forest, hoping to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to be merciful and untie the blood curse for you, but as the fairy aunt said, the road is difficult and dangerous, how can I be a weak woman can do it, on the way, I encountered danger, fortunately, the queen mother suddenly appeared, saved me, and woke up the memory of my previous life, hoping that I can cultivate into an immortal again." ”

"Niangniang said that the peony fairy was arranged to be a prostitute that day, not to torture me and look down on me, but to let me see the affection of men in the world. The queen mother is hard-working, how peony doesn't know, in the past, Su Daochang said that the mother is soft-hearted, the peony fairy understands, and today's white peony doesn't know, but the peony knows, the peony fairy can't let go of Donghua, and the white peony can't let go of Lu Dongbin, the mother is merciful, that is, disappointed, and just let the peony choose to be an immortal or a mortal, I came this time, just to find an answer, in the end, should I become an immortal, or because I continue to be a mortal. ”

Seeing this, the luster in the eyes of the white peony gradually dimmed, and after a while, I saw that she seemed to have lost her soul, stood up, and walked out of the teahouse.

At dusk, a strong wind was blowing in the streets, and people were busy collecting their stalls and going home. The red leaves are flying all over the sky, and the white peony is alone, desolate. Lu Dongbin looked at the red leaves flying outside the window, but recalled in his mind that Su Xingxuan came to his house that day, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, Su Xingxuan suddenly asked a question that made Lu Dongbin very surprised.

"Dongbin, you are the reincarnation of Donghua Shangxian, you say, has Donghua Shangxian ever liked the peony fairy, and has he ever been affectionate to the peony fairy?" Su Xingxuan suddenly interjected, looked at Lu Dongbin and said.

Hearing this question, Lu Dongbin was stunned, silent for a long time, and did not answer Su Xingxuan's words, but asked rhetorically, "The Taoist is so dignified, why did you mention this past incident." ”

Su Xingxuan didn't care about Lu Dongbin's avoidance and didn't answer, and he felt when he heard the words, "Isn't this idle and boring? Isn't it said that mortals like to get to the bottom of things the most? Now that you want to be a mortal, if you want to get to the bottom of anything, of course I want to talk to you." ”

"But you don't want to say it, Poor Dao doesn't force you, it's better like this, Poor Dao talks about Poor Dao's own thoughts, right, you just have it in your own heart, how about it?"

Saying that, Su Xingxuan didn't care whether Lu Dongbin agreed or disagreed, and said to himself, "If you want to be poor, this Donghua Shangxian doesn't necessarily have no feeling for the peony fairy at all, otherwise when the poem was inscribed on the red leaves, with the cultivation of the Donghua Shangxian, how could he not know that the red leaves fell on the peony fairy?"

"Besides, just as the peony fairy said in the past, if the Donghua fairy really has no feelings for the peony fairy, why did he know that the peony fairy had feelings for him that day, but he didn't tell the queen mother about it, and then he was entangled with the peony fairy. Saying that, Su Xingxuan glanced at Lu Dongbin deeply.

Noticing Su Xingxuan's eyes, Lu Dongbin was slightly unnatural, and couldn't help but say, "Maybe, what is going on, maybe only Donghua Shangxian himself knows, what Dongbin has is just the memory of Donghua Shangxian, but there has never been his emotion, what is going on, Dongbin does not dare to speculate." ”

"Well, it makes sense, so the word intercession, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, just like I wait for the heavenly heart of the body, enlightenment is enlightenment, no understanding is not enlightenment, other people, how to say, how to do, it is useless, recognize the heart, is at ease. ”

At this moment, Lu Dongbin suddenly felt that something was gently patted on his face, he hurriedly came back to his senses, reached out and grabbed the thing, only to see that what he was holding in his palm was a bright red red leaf, looking at the red leaves in his hand, Lu Dongbin couldn't help but mutter, "Only by recognizing your heart can you be at ease." The next moment, I saw a hint of determination flash in Lu Dongbin's eyes, and he stood up and chased out.

I saw the white peony walking on the road unconsciously, the whole person was confused, as if he had lost his soul, one was accidentally knocked to the ground, at this moment, Lu Dongbin, who caught up, stretched out his hand and pulled her, the two looked at each other for a long time, only to see the white peony with tears in his eyes, and finally, he was gently taken into his arms by Lu Dongbin, leaning on Lu Dongbin's shoulder and sobbing secretly.

Lu Dongbin took the white peony home, but found that Han Zhongli was waiting for him at the early morning house, and when he saw Lu Dongbin holding the white peony hand back, Han Zhongli, who was already angry that Lu Dongbin had given up the immortal road, suddenly became furious and scolded loudly, " Okay, Lu Dongbin, I didn't expect that it was really as Zhang Guolao said, for your own selfish desires, in order to want to stay with the white peony, you really did not hesitate to give up everything, and even left behind the responsibility of defending the common people, you, how can you be worthy of the reincarnated Donghua immortals, worthy of our immortal friends, you, you are really a delusional immortal. ”

Hearing this, Lu Dongbin's brows furrowed, and when Bai Peony saw this, he hurriedly broke away from Lu Dongbin's hand, but unexpectedly, it was okay for her not to move, but this move, Lu Dongbin grabbed her hand more and more, and then looked at Han Zhongli, and said with a faint expression, "You still want me to say a few times, it is my own choice not to be an immortal, I don't care whether you want to gather the eight immortals, or kill the demons, is it not possible without me Lu Dongbin." ”

"Now, I'm no longer the Lu Dongbin in the Eight Immortals, I'm just an ordinary mortal, my name is Lu Yan, if you don't have anything else, don't bother me anymore. ”

"How did you become like this, I tried Lu Dongbin ten times that day, and I decided that you could lead the Eight Immortals back to their places, how can you ......" Han Zhongli couldn't help but say when he heard this, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Han Zhongli, okay, don't say it again. At this moment, I saw Han Xiangzi rushing in, interrupting Han Zhongli's words, and pulling Han Zhongli away, Han Zhongli couldn't break free for a while, so he could only be pulled away by him.
