Jiangnan is always beautiful, but always defeated.
The scenery is in peace, but it is defeated in war.
In those days, the Jiangnan beauties could attract thousands of cheers when they danced. People came and went in a lively manner, and the poems and songs attracted people to stop. The streets were lined with merchants and pedestrians, and the lights were bright and colorful, all night long.
But in this absurd and chaotic world, there is now silence, broken walls, empty alleys and shabby houses, everything is completely destroyed.
The boat was floating on the river, and the woman in the cloak on the boat was holding the bamboo raft. She had seen the prosperity here, and now she has also seen the abjection here.
This is always the case in this world, the old will always fail, and when the years pass, new scenery will appear.
String String breathed a sigh of relief and took off his hat.
Some raindrops fell, but they couldn't fall on her.
She was wondering when was the last time she was here?
Can't remember clearly.
Anyway, it was still a peaceful time.
She left a sigh here until the bamboo raft crossed the entire river, and then followed the river into the river.
She still has many places to go.
Go further south and hear that there is an endless sea with no end in sight, or go further west and hear that the Tianshan Mountains stand towering and are covered with snow, soothing your soul. Go to the coast and see the fishermen leaving early and returning late. The sea is rain or shine.
Along the way, she didn't know anyone.
Probably because I don’t want to leave any thoughts for myself anymore.
One year is not long, two years is not short, it will eventually come to an end.
After going around in circles, she really had nowhere to go.
Slowly, she became a little sluggish, and her consciousness began to become less clear. She was like a person walking in the fog, gradually panicking, but in the end, there was only confusion in her eyes, and she was finally lost in the fog. .
This is true for ghost cultivators, and so is it for humans.
It's just that people can be saved, but ghosts can't.
What is a lonely ghost? It is a wandering ghost who does not know where to go. Because of his obsession, he stays in the world and gradually forgets his memory. After a long time, either his soul is gone, or because of the resentment in the world, he turns into a resentful ghost and causes trouble to the world. .
This is the home of ghosts like them.
Sunrise over the sea.
The light made String String stunned, and by some strange mistake, she stood up.
She was sluggish for a moment, but then she suddenly opened her legs and walked step by step towards the rising sun.
The Yang Qi is born, and the ghosts and evil spirits in the world are wiped out.
The fisherman looked around, a little confused under the light of the morning sun. He stretched out his hand to block it, but between his fingers he saw a woman's figure walking step by step towards the sea.
The fisherman was shocked and immediately shouted: "Girl! Girl! Don't go into the sea! Don't!"
As he spoke, the fisherman stared at the dazzling morning sun and ran over.
He originally came to fish, but he unexpectedly encountered such a suicidal thing. He thought he would save him if he could, but he went there in a daze.
But when he was busy running to the coast.
A wave of waves hit him, and the fisherman staggered and almost fell on the bank.
When I looked up again.
The fisherman was stunned.
The rising sun in front of him made him trance, and he could only see that figure standing in the center of the rising sun.
A wisp of green smoke rose, and the figure seemed to be burned to ashes in the light of the rising sun, turning into fly ash and drifting to unknown directions with the wind on the sea.
The fisherman rubbed his eyes and blocked the crack with his hands.
Looking again, there is no one else in the place I just saw...
All he could see was the calm sea and the rising sun.
The fisherman stood there blankly.
The harpoon in his hand also fell down.
Probably I have never seen such a weird thing before.
He took a deep breath, swam over, groped around where he saw it, dived into the sea, and looked around.
"call……"
He poked his head out of the sea and shook his head.
When he raised his hand again, there was already a jade pendant in his palm.
The fisherman was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and quickly returned to the shore.
The jade pendant is exquisitely carved, engraved with phoenix brocade patterns, and a wisp of red fringe knotted under the jade pendant, which is extraordinary.
Turning it over, I saw the word "Yan" engraved on the corner of the jade pendant.
The fisherman was shocked and quickly put the jade pendant away carefully.
I looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw no one noticed.
The fisherman pursed his lips. The rising sun had already left the sea at this moment. When he recalled that figure, he knew that it was definitely not his eyesight.
only……
So who is it?
Why is it so quiet and powerful?
The fisherman was puzzled, but when he recalled it later, he often wondered whether the person he saw that day was actually a human being.
.
.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of wooden fish echoed in Liuyun Temple.
The Taoist sitting on the tuanfu was knocking on the wooden fish. Sitting under the statue of Zhenwu God, the palms of Zhenwu God Lord were empty, except for the fragments of a sword placed on the bank.
The Taoist was calm and not distracted. He finished reciting the entire chapter of Taishang's Sutra on Rebirth. After breathing a long sigh of relief, he began to recite the next chapter.
Until there was a sound outside the Taoist temple.
"Little Taoist Master."
Taoer came to the Taoist temple alone.
The Taoist was startled for a moment, looked back, then raised his hands and said, "I've seen layman Tao'er."
After so many years, the Taoist is no longer the young man he was before. His appearance and behavior have become a bit old-fashioned, but he is much more solemn.
Tao'er brought some things, some meat and vegetables, and some warm clothes. After putting these things down, she asked: "The Taoist asked someone to call me up the mountain? But what do I need to explain?"
The Taoist paused and said, "Master said, Master Tao'er is an old member of the temple. The path is going down the mountain now. I don't know when he will come back. The Taoist temple has been without incense for a long time and has no moral character. I'm afraid it will It is difficult to survive forever, so Xiaodao wants to trouble the lay people..."
After hearing this, Tao'er was stunned and asked, "The little Taoist wants to go down the mountain?"
"yes."
"Where will you go after you go down the mountain?"
"I don't know. Master asked me to go down the mountain, so I will go down. It has been delayed for a long time."
Tao'er didn't say anything more, she just said: "Below the mountain is different from the mountain. The world is noisy and life is like grass. The director of the trail should make more preparations when he goes down the mountain. I just happened to bring some food and clothing, and the director of the trail said And take it with you.”
The Taoist stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, layman."
"fine."
Tao'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I should be taking care of this Taoist temple."
…
The Taoist went down the mountain and disappeared as soon as he left.
A dilapidated land can still be vaguely seen beside the official road. It is now covered with decayed black wood or turned into part of the soil, and thick weeds have grown on it.
This was supposed to be a small shop.
Tao'er looked at it, after the man disappeared.
She picked up the broom placed beside the temple and cleaned up the fallen leaves and dust bit by bit.
Other grass and trees grew on the withered peach trees. Although the dead trees died, they nourished other living beings.
Tao'er scanned the scene while her thoughts slowly drifted away.
It seemed like I was back to that snowy day.
As quiet as this.
