The sun rises in Qinglian Town.
It's not always green here, and it's still a bit cold in winter. The sun had just risen, using its sunlight to weave a thin blanket, covering the blue roof tiles and the two of them.
Qingnv is like a warm little stove, and you don't feel cold at all when you lean on her shoulder. She raised her shoulders, but Mu Wan had no reaction. She fell asleep very early, and Qingnv told some of her past experiences and stories. They are all ordinary, trivial, and other people's lives, without drama or conflict, like long, rhymeless poems. Her voice was slow, soft, and gentle, reaching her ears like cotton wool being torn apart bit by bit and stuffed into a fluffy pillow.
She just fell asleep quietly.
It was indeed boring, and Mu Wan fell asleep before he even finished talking about it. It tells a cliché story about a goddess who comes from heaven and brings blessings to all living beings on earth. She has a friend who, as a human being, has an almost infinite life - the Six Paths of Impermanence. Rather, she has good friendships with many Zao Wuchang. In short, one day her friend fell in love with a human male. He was indeed just an ordinary person, with ordinary vision, ordinary appearance, ordinary personality... and lifespan.
That Wu Chang didn't fall in love with him at first sight, but he saw him a lot due to official business, and he fell in love with him as soon as he came and went. It may be a bit casual to say this, but even if you ask gods and Buddhas about emotional matters, you can't explain them clearly. Human life is limited after all, and the Impermanent Ghost knows this very well and wants to spend his life with him in a short, visible time. This is only a moment in the long time of the six impermanent realms.
The Lord of Nai Luo was very dissatisfied with this.
Although he already has an immortal body and an immortal soul, his emotions are still not much different from those of humans and monsters in the mortal world. In that adult's eyes, falling in love with a human being is narrow-minded and very foolish. One day, the issue of life, separation and death will come to the fore, and fragile human beings will be reincarnated, leaving only another heart full of holes. What will happen then? Looking for his reincarnated soul? Or are you still feeling sad and looking forward to the next relationship that you don’t know where to start to heal?
Totally stupid.
The Six Paths of Impermanence should have their own appearance, be cold-faced and cold-blooded, and not show favoritism to anyone, so that they can persist in this endless mission in the best possible condition. What's more, people's hearts are unpredictable. They have also lived in the mortal world and should not know anything about it. To take a step back, what if the person you love changes his mind? It's impossible to leave as if nothing happened. If you had such an open-minded vision, you wouldn't fall in love with someone so easily in the first place. Their strengths are also unequal. If the man really falls in love with someone else, will she use her privileges to kill him?
This feeling should never have existed in the first place. This is even more unforgivable than the love between man and demon. said the adult.
Since nothing could escape the adult's eyes, she had frequent interactions with the man openly and openly. The man's surname was Mo, and he had rescued many monsters that were hunted by humans, but the man didn't bother him at all. The adult said, if you tell Mr. Mo your true identity, let's see how he feels. So Wu Chang really found the opportunity to do this. Mr. Mo was surprised, but he didn't feel too much, and he didn't have any greed in the future. This made the adult a little surprised, but he still insisted that such a road would not last long. If you don't believe it, just let her continue watching.
During that time, the goddess and other impermanent ghosts were very concerned about their affairs. Time flies, ten or eight years have passed, Master Mo's face has changed a lot, but she is still as beautiful as before. Mr. Mo has experienced many hardships that a mortal should have and has matured a lot, which makes his lover like him even more, but...
That's the problem.
She began to vaguely understand what the adult meant. She loves him, but often doesn't see him for months. He has never married a wife, let alone a sweetheart - or rather, the sweetheart is her, which is what she dreams of. But in other words, she was delaying the man. Mr. Mo should have had a normal, short and happy life that belongs to human beings. But for her, he completely gave up on this life that was within reach and whose end could be seen at a glance.
Although the Lord of Naraku never interfered from beginning to end, things still happened as he wished.
Wu Chang persuaded him to learn Yin and Yang Tao, and he also ran around while working, seeking various elixirs for good looks and longevity. There was no one in the world, so she went to the demon world to look for it. All the efforts she expended were in vain - her lover indeed lived many years longer than ordinary people, and still retained the appearance of a young and talented man.
One day, Mr. Mo died.
He disappeared from his residence and was nowhere to be found. Some monsters said they saw him go out and never come back. No matter how powerful he is and his extraordinary life, if someone stabs him hard in the heart, he will still die. Friends found him in the river. There was no wound on his body, and the cause of death was unclear.
Impermanence prayed to that gentleman, if there is a way to bring the dead back to life in this world.
"No" and "no" are two different things, and they know this. Maybe the price is too expensive, maybe she can't bear the consequences, no matter which one, it's something she can't do.
"I believe you have such ability - let me replace him." said the goddess.
Everyone was shocked when these words came out, and even her friends stopped her from saying such nonsense. The goddess just pushed away her clenched hand, saluted the adult again, and said word by word:
"I'll replace him."
"Why?" The adult asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
"If you agree, that's it."
None of those Six Paths of Impermanence knew why the goddess did this. Is it compassion for the world? They couldn't tell. The goddess is a real goddess, and all her hard work over the years has been witnessed by all. Is she tired? Or whether he was simply moved by such a timeless feeling, there is no answer. Maybe both, maybe not.
This decision was made by herself. It was a two-way commitment between herself and Yama, and had nothing to do with anyone else. No matter how her friends tried to persuade her, the goddess remained unmoved. She kept saying that there must be a way, and we would think about it together. The goddess showed a cold and mysterious smile, and said to her softly:
"Do you think I'm really just doing it for you? No. I have an appointment with that adult. After your lover comes back to life, he can no longer interfere with the feelings of Liu Dao Wu Chang and anyone else. As long as it does not affect what should be done, let him do whatever he wants. Yes. Whether we part ways on bad terms or whether we live or die, it has nothing to do with him anymore."
She wants to exchange herself for everyone's future, and she wants to give all the uncertainties a hope - even if it is an illusory and even useless hope. As for the adult, he agreed to her.
In this world of three thousand people, in this long time, he would wait and see what kind of trouble these subordinates would cause.
The goddess disappeared.
But this is not a deeply moving story.
The adult summoned Mr. Mo's soul back as promised, and opened his eyes in the complex eyes of his lover, which was filled with sadness and joy. He was in a trance, and he didn't know why. But when faced with everyone's uncertainty, he calmly stated the cause of his death.
He died by suicide.
The long and unnecessary time consumed his mind, and inner demons emerged. But he doesn't want to become a monster, let alone live as a simple human being. He admitted that he was a coward and was sorry for his lover's affection.
That night, Shui Wujun was the first to leave. He has always been taciturn and indifferent. Before leaving, he just said coldly: "You'd better atone for this."
His lover, the friend of the goddess, who was impermanent, seemed to be in less pain. She just felt sorry and couldn't say any words. Everyone understood that Shui Wujun was suffering because of the goddess's sacrifice in vain. But... Lord Uoyue later told them that the goddess asked her for a divination, and the result was so unclear that even she herself could not understand it. The goddess seemed to understand and asked Utsuki-kun to keep quiet until the end.
The goddess knew the outcome. She might even know that her friend's lover committed suicide by drowning in the river. But she still did it without hesitation. This was a choice that the human Impermanence Ghosts could not understand.
But that's the choice she made.
After returning to life, Mr. Mo was cut off from all contact with him by the Six Paths of Impermanence - including his lover. She felt that she had lost her friend who loved her because of her so-called true love. She could not face all this, even though it was her friend's own choice. Rather, choosing to leave is also his own choice. He accumulated many celestial beings during his lifetime, and after his resurrection he became an ordinary person again. He married a wife and had children, inherited the Tao of Yin and Yang, and lived a fulfilling life.
The only thing he left behind that was related to the Impermanence was a sharp bone sword, which was forged from the dead body of the demon bird Garuda. He once helped the monsters of the bird tribe escape from being hunted by humans for no reason. This was a gift given to him by Impermanence as a thank you, and it was also the beginning of all feelings. This bone sword became a family heirloom and was passed down from generation to generation. It is unknown where it is now.
"It does seem to be quite righteous... but the views between me and that gentleman are the same. Rather, I am more harsh and mean." Qingnv said frankly, "This kind of behavior is very futile and stupid. For others Being immature and taking responsibility is a meaningless self-sacrifice. Rather, it is self-destruction. What is she fighting against? I can't understand it at all."
She thought Mu Wan would refute, but no. I don’t know when she fell asleep leaning on her shoulder like this, and I don’t know when she stopped when she heard that part.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling, making Mu Wan's eyes hurt. She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Qingnv's slender hands, still gently resting on the strings. She finally saw clearly that it was not the armor that was playing the piano, but Qingnu's own nails, which were dyed vermilion.
"Sorry, I'm too sleepy..." She rubbed her eyes, "I wasted such a good story."
"It's nothing, you should rest. Besides, this is not a very good story."
"Ah... maybe, I'm a human being, so I tend to do this, right?" Mu Wan straightened up and stretched his muscles, "I don't remember clearly, but I still have a question to ask - don't laugh at me I."
Qingnv blinked her eyes, her eyelashes flickering.
"Huh? What kind of question makes you think that I will laugh at you? Let's talk about it first, and then I can laugh louder depending on the situation."
"Oh, that's really annoying." Mu Wan frowned slightly, with a serious expression, "The goddess in the story is actually you, right?"
"...Pfft."
Qingnv laughed strangely.
