Chapter 54: Where is the Paradise?
In the room of the small hotel, Xu Qingluo changed into a red dress, and Su Yu was still wearing the red tweed dress, although it was dirty, but after all, it was a red and bright festive color, and she couldn't find a replacement for a while, so she had to reluctantly use it as a "marriage" dress. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhether it is out of "playfulness" or based on some kind of stubbornness, Xu Qingluo insists on making a wedding ceremony. Of course, this ceremony is very simple, there is no master of ceremonies, no parents, and no relatives and friends, these two children who are so lonely that they only have each other in their own worlds sit opposite each other in bed.
On the bedside cabinet, there were two red candles that Su Yu had bought on a special trip, and in two small plates, there were a plate of peanuts and two red apples. Su Yu responded to Xu Qingluo's order to pin a purple butterfly-shaped hairpin to her forehead, under the dim candle light, the girl looked particularly beautiful and compelling, but Su Yu's mind was barren, and there was no expression on his face.
"Su Xiaoyu, I'm going to marry you, why do you keep putting on a zombie face?" Xu Qingluo pouted dissatisfiedly.
Su Yu curled the corners of his mouth and pulled out a little smile stiffly, but he was coldly pinched by Xu Qingluo's mouth and pulled upward. Su Yu had no choice but to grab Xu Qingluo's hand and let her put it down: "Okay, okay, didn't I laugh?
Xu Qingluo felt the warmth coming from his palm, looked up and saw his concerned gaze staring at him, lowered her head, gently and slowly withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice: "On our side, sixteen years old is the age when you can get married. ”
"Oh. Su Yu looked at her with some concern, "I don't think it's okay, I'm just worried...... Your body. ”
"I'm in good health!" Xu Qingluo knelt and took two steps back, a little distance from Su Yu, and looked at him with shining eyes, "Let's worship the church, well, it's just husband and wife who worship each other, what heaven and earth, our parents can't control us, we don't worship at all! In the world of the two of us, there are only the two of us, there is no heaven and earth avenue, no parents' kindness, and no everything outside the body, is this good?"
This kind of marriage is suitable for two lonely guys, because there is nothing but each other.
Su Yu nodded, and the two of them knelt down and bowed to each other. Although there is no courtesy, no vows, no witnesses, the wedding is like a child playing from a hasty idea to a simple ceremony, but the two of them can't say it at the moment solemn, serious, between this worship, in the two immature hearts are really completely entrusted with their lives.
Head to head against snow-white sheets, then the two looked up at each other, and the candle flame jumped, and there was a look of uneasiness in their eyes.
The husband and wife have already bowed to each other, and then what?
"I ...... , Let's say goodbye again!" Xu Qingluo's eyes flickered a few times and proposed.
So the two bowed to each other again. I just straightened up after bowing and looked at each other silently again, still at a loss. After a while, Su Yu touched his head and proposed, "Why don't you say goodbye again?"
"Uh-huh!" Xu Qingluo agreed again and again. So the two of them bowed to the ground for the third time, and when they got up again, their movements became slow. As the saying goes, "there are no more than three things", the three bows have been completed, and you really can't worship any longer, otherwise you will continue to worship until dawn.
Looking up at each other, the two inevitably fell into embarrassment again.
Xu Qingluo had already made up her mind and made all preparations. Since she wants to marry Su Yu, she will eventually enter the cave room after the wedding, but the young girl who has never even had her first kiss is too late to be shy at this time, how can she still have the heart to carry out her plan? Su Yu is like a stone, only looking at each other in silence, and I don't know what she is thinking at the moment.
It's all unemployed, and he must not know what to do. The confession is himself, the marriage proposal is himself, and he simply takes the initiative to the end. Xu Qingluo gritted her teeth secretly, closed her eyes, raised her hands, and unbuttoned the top button on her chest with a slight trembling. The red clothes faded slightly, and the cover was slightly reduced, revealing a piece of skin like snow. The candle shadow in the small room shook red, reflecting the spring light like a dream.
She was embarrassed, her face was red and her heart was beating hard, but she heard the young man opposite say, "I'll play a tune for you!" Immediately, she heard the sound of Su Yu getting up and getting out of bed, and when she opened her eyes again, the young man had already sat back on the bed with the guitar in his arms, but he only lowered his head and rubbed on the guitar, not daring to look up at her.
"Su Xiaoyu ......" Xu Qingluo called him softly, she wanted to say I am not afraid, what are you afraid of.
Su Yu didn't say a word, didn't raise his head, sat upright, adjusted his posture, his fingertips swiped the strings, the notes stumbled, and barely made up a twisted melody to spread out. is still the song "Accompany You to the End of the World", which reminds people of that rainy autumn afternoon, and the two were also in this room, playing the piano and singing together. It's just that Su Yu played very badly today, far less coherent and coordinated than that day, Xu Qingluo didn't open his mouth to sing along, and he himself kept his mouth closed. There was only the sound of the piano, the intermittent hoarse sound of the piano.
Xu Qingluo sat silently in the candlelight, looking down at the guitar that was close at hand, the black and red guitar, and the slender hands on the guitar were plucking, like a fish drowning in the melody water, constantly struggling. The quiet and pure melody somehow had a bit of a sad feeling, which made her speak several times, wanting to interrupt but couldn't bear to interrupt, wanting to sing along but unable to sing. She heard the pent-up emotions that had been suppressed under his calm face, the mixture of pity, worry, helplessness, and sadness.
He was really worried about her body. The fact that she was seriously ill and anxious to do this wedding aroused his alarm, and the words outside the hotel made him understand that the matter was much more serious than he had imagined, so serious that she had the intention of leaving herself. Su Yu knew very well what this meant. How could he have the heart to think about anything else now, just to feel extremely sad for Xu Qingluo.
A teardrop, suddenly falling on the strings, the syllables are one beat wrong.
"Su Xiaoyu ......" Xu Qingluo called again. She knew what Su Yu was thinking, this heartless guy was sad and crying for herself, her heart was both sour and unbearable, but she was sweet and moved, but the wedding night that was originally happy was filled with a gloomy cloud and miserable mist, I don't know what it tasted like. She leaned forward and grabbed his hand as she plucked the strings. The guitar snapped off with a tearing aftersound.
"This one...... I didn't play it well, so I'll change it. Su Yu tried his best to hide his choking, did not raise his head, insisted on withdrawing his hand from the girl's cold fingers, and continued his clumsy playing. He couldn't help but play, he didn't want to look up at this time and let the girl see his tearful eyes. Ignoring the headache that gradually became clear, he played another song taught by "Ziluo", the lively and playful "Like a Dream Order":
The Tao is not pear blossoms, the Tao is not apricot blossoms, white and red and red, not the Oriental style. Zeng Ji, Zeng Ji, people were slightly drunk in Wuling.
The song is very cheerful, but when I play it now, how can I listen to it and have a bleak taste of forced laughter. Xu Qingluo finally grabbed his hand and shook her head vigorously: "Don't play, I don't want to hear it!"
Su Yu didn't break free this time, but dropped the guitar and held her hand with his backhand, held it tightly and asked, "How can I save you?"
The voices were choked, and two tears dripped on their clenched hands. Su Yu hurriedly wiped his eyes with his elbow, raised his head and looked at each other, both pairs of eyes were red. Xu Qingluo knelt and moved two steps forward, reaching out to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "Don't cry, I'm not fine?"
"Is it only stones?" asked Su Yu to himself.
Xu Qingluo shook her head: "Don't think about it, I'm just not feeling well, and I'll be fine." ”
Su Yu glanced at her, jumped off the bed suddenly, put on his shoes and walked out: "I'll go find Baidi, she has a stone pendant." ”
Xu Qingluo hurriedly said: "Don't go, I'll take her pendant!"
Su Yu stopped and looked back at her with some puzzlement.
"The one for you, that's it. Xu Qingluo added.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, a sharp headache suddenly appeared, he held his head with both hands, endured the pain and said in annoyance: "Why did you give me your life-saving things, why do you still let me practice?"
Xu Qingluo shook her head sadly: "That little thing is too little, too little, and it is completely useless to me." ”
Su was stunned, but after being stunned, he turned around and walked to the door: "If there can be one Baidi, there may be two or three, I'll go find her!"
"Don't go! Come back, Su Xiaoyu, come back for me!" Xu Qingluo sat on the bed and shouted to Su Yu sideways. Not to mention that Bai Di's hope of being able to come up with enough spars is very slim, even if she really has it, her enemy, who killed her brother, ends up like this, and she has no reason to help. Resources are so scarce, and people have to practice, who will give them to others for nothing? Not to mention, more likely to fall into the well and take revenge.
But Su Yu only wanted to save her now, he just wanted to get the spar, he ignored Xu Qingluo's objections, hurriedly walked to the door, opened the door with a squeak, but saw a figure flash outside the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xu Qingluo shouting: "There is another way!"
He didn't care where the figure was sacred, he turned around and slammed the door, his back against the door, his headache splitting, and his face was covered with sweat. The hair on his forehead was soaked, and because of the gritted teeth, there was a hint of hideousness in the hard lines of his face. Almost word for word, he asked, "Tell me I can do it!"
"Okay, I believe in you," Xu Qingluo could see that Su Yu was on the verge of collapse, her eyes were red, and tears burst out, "This method must be possible, you calm down first, you come here, Su Xiaoyu, you come over." ”
Su Yu's eyes widened slightly, and he emptied his brain slightly, then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Xu Qingluo straightened up and wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief. She looked at his pale face and wanted to hug him and cry, but then he would be uncomfortable. Originally, he was the only sick number, and only he was taking care of him, but now he has become a bigger sick number, two sick numbers, dependent on each other.
If this method is successful, all the problems faced by the two will be solved, but the chance of success is too slim. But now there is no other way to think of it, so I can only tell Su Yu first.
"Cultivators who have cultivated to an extremely high level can create an independent space, which we call the 'Little Star Boundary'," Xu Qingluo said slowly, "The Little Star Realm is transformed by the cultivator's Star Mansion, and it contains the energy we need, as long as I find a small Star Boundary, my body can recover." ”
Su Yu had some impressions of this title, and he didn't know where he had heard it, but the headache was just a little better, he didn't dare to think about it, and continued to ask: "How do you find the little star boundary?"
Xu Qingluo shook her head: "I don't know if there is a small star boundary here, and even if there is, the entrance is extremely secret." It's a kind of space, similar to the Peach Blossom Garden, where someone may occasionally bump into it, but when you come out and want to go in, it's hard to find the entrance. ”
"Peach Blossom Spring?" Su Yu's eyes lit up, "Could the Peach Blossom Source recorded by Tao Yuanming be a small star boundary?"
"It's not. "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" says, 'Since the ancestors of Yun avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation', it can be seen that the Peach Blossom Spring is just a place to move and avoid chaos, not a space outside the world, not to mention that the small star boundary cannot appear after the Spring and Autumn Period. ”
Su Yu was a little frustrated, thought for a while, and asked again: "Could that be a lie?" You see, when the fisherman left, the people in the Peach Blossom Garden also told him that he was not enough to be an outsider, which shows that he has a strong sense of confidentiality, and in order to keep it secret, will he tell some lies?"
Xu Qingluo listened and thought thoughtfully. The existence of the Little Star Realm is indeed "not enough for outsiders", and if the news spreads and other cultivators learn about it, they will definitely come and search for it. It is possible that someone occasionally trespasses, saying that it is a place of refuge, to confuse the public.
The key is recorded at the end of the article "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring": "Taishou immediately sent people to follow him, looking for his aspirations, and then he was lost, and he was no longer able to find his way." You know, after the fisherman out of the hole, he is "everywhere", every place along the road has been marked, and he has taken people to look back, but he will "no longer have the way", even if the terrain is complicated, there should not be such a road-obsessed fisherman in the world, right?
Now in China, there are more than 30 scenic spots that claim to be the Peach Blossom Spring, but none of them have complex terrain that they cannot be found, where is it in line with Tao Yuanming's description?
Xu Qingluo quickly combed through the information, and suddenly felt that if Tao Yuanming's account was true, this Peach Blossom Source might not be a small star boundary.
It's just that the mountains and rivers are long and confusing, so how to find them?
