Chapter 057: Where the heart goes, where the heart is at peace
The sky was bright and dark, the brain was in sharp pain, and he was dizzy in front of his eyes, and Mu Changning was in a trance for a moment.
When she saw the two of them clearly, she was stunned.
"Fifth Brother ......"
This young man in black clothes and a girl in blue clothes, aren't they Ling Xuanying and Ling Qingming?
It turned out that no matter in her dreams, they were the ones who saved her life.
Mu Changning stretched out his hand and wiped the lake water on his face, but unfortunately his body had no strength, and he still lay on the flat ground.
The soaked clothes stuck to his body, and the cold went straight into the cracks of his bones.
She was cold and tired.
Ling Xuanying stretched out her hand and approached her, and she suddenly put her hand in his hand as if she had been bewitched.
The boy's palm was not broad, but it was warm, exactly the same as before.
Ling Xuanying has always been that warm and tough teenager.
"Are you alright?" he asked in a low voice, letting go of his hand without a trace.
Mu Changning could only feel the warmth left in his fingertips dissipate in an instant. The cold wind blew, and the clammy clothes clung to the body, and the whole body was frozen and stiff, and it was difficult to move.
She raised her head with difficulty, Ling Xuanying's face was still gentle, but the eyes that looked at her showed a faint detachment.
"Fifth brother......" Mu Changning muttered.
He was slightly stunned, and Ling Qingyun on the side frowned first: "What do you call him?"
Mu Changning was suddenly silenced, Ling Xuanying raised his lips and laughed softly: "Qingyang, your spiritual roots are incomplete, you are not qualified to be ranked in the genealogy, you can't match us with brothers, don't do it again in the future, you will be punished again if you are heard." ”
Ling Qingwen nodded in agreement: "Now it's our own business, when you meet the third brother and Xiao Jiu, you will only be unable to eat and walk around." ”
Mu Changning sat stunned, silent, and felt very uncomfortable for a while.
It's clear, it's clear that they didn't do this to her!
What should the facts be?
Will she be a brother or sister to a waste mortal?Will she do her best to help her, a servant girl with little friendship?Will she be considerate and take good care of her?
What is she? What is there for them?
Their kindness to her all came from that dream!
Ling Xuanying saw her sitting in a daze, glanced at Ling Qingming, and said, "You go back to rest earlier, let's go first." ”
After saying that, she couldn't see them anymore, and she was the only one left in the remote courtyard.
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be like this......
Mu Changning's head hurt even more, supporting his head with his hands, the sky was spinning, groggy and chaotic.
Suddenly, warm fingertips stroked her forehead.
Mu Changning opened his eyes suddenly.
The candlelight was dim, and sitting at the head of the bed was a thin and haggard woman, with sallow skin, sunken cheeks, and not very delicate and good-looking facial features, but there was a natural tenderness and delicacy between her eyebrows and eyes.
She was stunned, her eyes slightly sour.
"Mother......" Mu Changning shouted in a trembling voice.
Pu Shi suddenly felt funny: "What's the matter, it's like being stupid." ”
She stretched out her fingers and gently scratched Mu Changning's nose.
The familiar and intimate behavior made Mu Changning's eyes even more sour, and she hurriedly threw herself into Pu's arms, both surprised and delighted: "Mother, you are not dead, this is great! I thought it was ......."
"Why do you think you stupid boy, you're having nightmares again?" Pu Shi smiled nonchalantly, caressing Mu Changning's long hair.
Mu Changning suddenly felt a little strange.
She looked up, and it was a modest room. The creaking wooden shelf bed, the moldy and damp quilt, the solid wood table and chair missing a corner, and the pot of yellow and shriveled aloe vera in the corner.
There was still a layer of half-worn cellophane on the window lattice, broken in some places, and cold wind poured into it.
This is the small courtyard where their mother and daughter lived in the Ling family in the past.
Mu Changning was stunned.
So, is she really back?
Just now Ling Xuanming and Ling Qingwan threw her into the water, and it was also true that Ling Xuanying and Ling Qingwen threw her by the lake?
Or is it that the half year she left the Ling family was fake, and everything was just her imagination?
"Changning, why are you stunned?" asked her with a smile.
Mu Changning was stunned: "Mother, what do you call me?"
"Changning. ”
Changning!
Pu Shi actually called her Changning!
When she was in the Ling family before, her identity had always been Ling Qingyang, and the name Mu Changning had never been revealed to anyone, until she left, she used her modern name back, how could the Pu family know?
Mu Changning felt even more weird, and immediately thought that his mother would divinate good fortune and evil, and maybe she also got these things.
But this is not right, if everything happened after she left the Ling family was fake, then the Pu family should be just an ordinary concubine of Ling Sanye, how could she be divination? Isn't this a contradiction in order?
Mu Changning was completely confused.
"You kid, why are you so soulless today?" Pu shook his head.
Mu Changning looked up at her: "Mother, what the hell is going on? I clearly remember that you sent me away, and then you passed away, leaving me a letter and explaining a lot of things to me." I somehow had my spiritual root intact, so I went out alone, and I was almost eaten by a fish monster in a village, and then I went to Cangcheng, where I practiced, and prepared to join the Cangtong faction in the future......"
Mu Changning babbled to Pu Shi about what she had seen, and the room became very quiet, only her soft and crisp voice.
After finishing speaking, Pu's warm palm touched her forehead and murmured, "Are you sick, why are you talking nonsense?"
She withdrew her hand and looked helpless: "Changning, although my mother's son is not good, it is not like she will leave you for a while, don't worry." You've always been at home before, and you've never gone out, and as for cultivation, ......"
Pu Shi sighed softly: "Changning, don't be unconvinced, the way of heaven is irreversible, everyone is destined to be born, everyone has their own fate, and sometimes, we have to succumb to ......"
Pu's words were both helpless and regretful, and the negative emotions brought endless depression.
She wanted to take Mu Changning into her arms and chat for comfort, but a small hand suddenly stretched out to block her movements.
Pu Shi was stunned, and saw Mu Changning staring at his eyes.
Pu's eyes are black and white, and the tails of the eyes are slightly upturned, which looks a little coquettish. Mu Changning looked into her dark pupils, and under the dim candlelight, she saw her face clearly reflected in it.
Pale, small, delicate, but not the kind of ugly girl who can't be found in the crowd.
This is not Ling Qingyang's face, this is the face that her mother showed after she lifted part of her facial seal, and it is the face she has been wearing for half a year.
That so-called dream is not fake!
"Changning?" Pu called to her softly.
"My mother, I wouldn't say such things......"
Mu Changning took a deep breath and looked directly at Pu Shi: "My mother, although weak, is not cowardly, she will never tell me that everyone has a life, nor will she discourage my enthusiasm, on the contrary, she will encourage me, will support me, and also teach me that I am born to ......be useful."
Pu Shi was silent, his eyes flashed slightly, and he stood up straight.
"It's all so real, I almost believe it......"
Mu Changning tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself: "Ling Xuanming and Ling Qingwan are a thorn in my heart, Ling Xuanying and Ling Qingwen have helped me in the micro end, and my mother is also a very special and important existence for me...... But what is presented to me now is different from what I know, and it is all the side of my heart that I am afraid of. ”
"I admit that I was affected at first, and I couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion for a while, but I still want to trust my heart, it will tell me what is true and what is false, what to do and what not to do......"
Greed, hatred, hatred, love, and evil desires, the seven deadly sins of human beings, are inevitable for anyone.
These illusions are the manifestation of the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal mind, and it will construct the demons of the mind according to yourself.
Those who are firm in their minds will be able to see through it, and those who are not strong in their minds will be affected by it!
Where the heart goes, that is, where the heart is safe.
Seeking immortals asked, you must first cultivate your mind, and if your heart is clear, you will be fearless!
This is the ultimate goal of seeking the ladder of immortals, making people recognize themselves!
Mu Changning felt something in his heart, and his mind was full of realization, the original simple hut had once again turned into a white jade stone staircase shrouded in mist.
At this time, Mu Changning was sitting cross-legged on the stone steps, closing his eyes and calming.
