After saying that, Erya didn't hesitate and attacked directly. Faced with Erya's methods, Daya was not afraid to move his hands and used the palm technique taught by Situ Huanshuang to meet him. There are two sisters, one wearing a Taoist robe and the other wearing a black outfit. Under the moonlight, people come and go in the infinite view, which is quite lively. However, if Huang Qiong and Situ Huanshuang were here, they would all see it. The two sisters seemed to be using all their strength, but in fact they were holding back their hands everywhere.
While the two were fighting, Da Ya gradually felt that his sister seemed to be giving him tricks. It may seem like the attacks are peaceful, but in fact they are all aimed at one's weakest parts. It was as if he was specifically trying to make up for his own weaknesses in martial arts. But Da Ya suddenly felt that it seemed that her sister was deliberately trying to make up for her shortcomings in cultivation. With such a feeling, Da Ya restrained her hands and feet. But despite this, neither of the two people had any intention of stopping.
Until the sky became slightly brighter, Erya knocked Daya away with one palm, jumped back three feet and said: "It seems that our aunt has put a lot of effort into you. Your cultivation is now , even among the talented disciples of this sect, he can be regarded as young and promising. Legend has it that the king of Guilin used the opportunity of war to painstakingly collect martial arts secrets from all over the world. Although Qixing'an can be regarded as a rising star, Learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. As long as you study hard, your future achievements will be limitless."
"You have nothing to worry about and can devote all your energy to martial arts. Unlike me, I have too many things to learn and can't focus all my attention on martial arts. And my ability is really different from my grandmother's. There are many more, far less magical powers than my grandmother. Not only are I extremely good at martial arts and medicine, but I am also good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. My qualifications are limited, and I can only do one thing. It’s just limited to time, and there is actual combat. It's just a lack of experience. I believe that if I give you another three to five years, as long as you study hard and practice hard, you will definitely surpass me."
After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and stopped talking. And looking at this girl, although she looks very similar to herself, she is extremely cold and cold. Da Ya was silent for a long time, and then said with a hint of pride in her tone: "I am indeed not as good as you now, but I will not be worse than you in the future. I naturally believe this. You don't need to do this." Come on. However, there is something I have to say, whether you admit it or not. At least I am still your sister now. I hope you can move back to the palace during your stay in Jingzhao. "
"No matter how you practice Taoism, your father, mother and concubine are the ones who gave you life. At least this cannot be erased. Even though you have lived with your grandmother since you were a child, your father, mother and concubine have never treated you less for this reason. Love. I still remember that my mother-in-law came to stay with you every now and then. You were the only one among the three of us who grew up drinking mother-in-law’s milk. When my grandmother took you away quietly, my mother-in-law It took the concubine a full year of sadness before she came out. Even my father was ill for several months."
"Every time my father sees the little quilt that wrapped you, he always feels sad and heartaches. They have not done anything to feel sorry for you, and you cannot be so heartless. Either you will leave for several years and not come back. Or you have to cut off any family ties when you come back. Whether you become a monk and practice Taoism in the future, or you don't recognize them, you must at least give them a buffer time. The relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter cannot be completely ended by you with just one word. You No matter what, you are still my biological sister, so don’t force me to use force on you."
Regarding Da Ya's words, Er Ya stubbornly shook her head and said: "I have always been indifferent to them, just so that everyone would not be sad when we parted. I am not a person in the mortal world. If I miss my family more and more, it will bring more harm to the relatives around me. The pain will be greater. When the interruption continues, you will suffer the consequences. It is enough for them to have you and your brother as their partners. In fact, my main purpose of coming back this time is not for them, but for you. Grandma has always been good to you. I’m really worried, asking me to come back and open up those catastrophes in your heart.”
"Actually, my grandmother has never wanted me to completely let go of my family ties. Even if I really join the Taoist sect, she doesn't want me to completely cut off contact with you. Because she doesn't want to live alone in this life. But I know it myself. , from the moment I actually joined the disciples when I was ten months old, I have no fate with them anymore. I am an indifferent person. Maybe that kind of family affection is like to you, but to me It’s just a kind of bondage. As for their kindness, I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay them in this life.”
"When I come to Jingzhao this time, I will spend a year cultivating in Wuliang Temple. If they are willing to come and see me, Wuliang Temple can open the gate for them. If they are not willing to condescend to condescension, they can come to Wuliang Temple and follow them. It’s not what I want to do here, or what kind of drama I am deliberately setting up. It’s just that I will not take another step into the palace. However, I will pray for them in the future and bless the great Qi Dynasty with peace and prosperity for the country and the people. I will also pray for them. Pray that they are in good health with you. That’s the only thing I can do for them right now.”
After that, he gave a Taoist salute to Daya, stopped talking, and turned around and returned to his house. Da Ya, who refused to give up, hesitated for a moment but followed. When he entered this room, he realized that the environment was completely different from the one he lived in the palace. In this small room, apart from a portrait and a small incense burner in front of the portrait, there is only one other decoration in the room, which are two futons on the ground. Erya ignored Erya, walked to the futon and sat cross-legged.
Immediately, he quickly fell into concentration. As Erya entered concentration, although Da Ya felt bored, she did not leave immediately. She just looked at Er Ya who was sitting quietly on the futon meditating, not knowing what she was thinking. As soon as Erya fell into concentration, there was no movement. Daya was also there, watching quietly all night. It wasn't until the rooster crowed on the second day that he woke up from his trance. Looking at Da Ya standing at the door of the room, staring blankly at him, she asked with some confusion: "Why are you still here and haven't gone back?"
Seeing that Da Ya remained silent, Er Ya did not force herself. Holding a wooden basin placed at the door, he stood up and walked to the well mouth outside the door to get a bucket of cold water, and then wiped it briefly with the cold well water. Then he said to Da Ya: "Since you haven't left, let's have a meal together. It's just that the food here is simple, and I'm afraid it may not be as good as yours, the eldest princess of the Tian family. Ever since I learned to eat, I have always As a vegetarian, there is neither chicken, duck, or fish here, nor any royal meals. There are only the simplest porridge and side dishes."
Regarding Erya's actions, Daya never spoke. Until a little Taoist priest came in carrying a wooden plate. After seeing Erya, he bowed his hands and said: "I know that my aunt has a guest here, so my master specially ordered to prepare two breakfast meals this morning and asked Xiaodao to bring it to my aunt. I just hope that the guest will not dislike it. The food in the temple is simple. Master also asked Xiaodao to bring a message to my aunt, even if you are practicing Qing Dynasty, it will be the same there. In the palace and in the temple, it is the same, there is no difference."
Put two small bowls of millet porridge, a small plate of small thick-wheat steamed buns, a plate of small green vegetables and two pairs of chopsticks on the wooden plate in your hand, and place them in front of and behind the futon. The little Taoist priest didn't say another word, turned around and left. And with a casual gesture, Erya sat cross-legged on the futon, picked up a bowl of millet porridge and started eating. And looking at the extremely rough ground, I thought about the meal that I had never thought about before. Seeing how delicious Erya was eating, even if she couldn't eat it, Daya finally gritted her teeth, sat down and picked up the millet porridge to eat.
Even though Daya was in the palace, because Huang Qiong had always insisted on being frugal, she didn't have a lot of food and fish all day long, but she still had good food and clothing. But this was too simple a diet, and it was somewhat difficult for her to swallow. The millet porridge was fine, but the plate of steamed buns were made of extremely rough flour. There was nothing in that plate of green vegetables except salt. And this little green vegetable is obviously a bit old. Just looking at Erya eating deliciously, her unyielding belief supported her in swallowing these rough foods.
When Daya put down her chopsticks, Erya put the dinner plates back into the wooden tray and went out with them. I walked to the kitchen and started cleaning myself. After washing the tableware, he picked up a hoe and went to the Guanzhong vegetable patch to clean up. Da Ya didn't say a word and just kept following. Erya was tidying up the vegetable patch while she watched. After Erya finished tidying up the vegetable plot, she took the rope up to a hillside outside Wuliang Temple and started collecting firewood in the pine forest. Until he picked up the firewood, he was almost taller than her.
Then he tied up the firewood in a leisurely manner and carried it directly back to Wuliangguan and handed it over to the kitchen. After finishing all this, I went back to my room and started doing my homework. It wasn't until the sun set that I put down the wooden fish in my hand. At this time, Daya, who had never left, was already hungry. Looking at Erya who finally closed the sutra in front of him and put down the wooden fish in his hand, he wanted to open his mouth and ask when he would have dinner. But before she could speak, Erya, who saw what she was thinking, said: "There is no food in the temple, and monks do not eat after lunch."
"Since I truly realized enlightenment at the age of thirteen, I have stopped eating after noon. As you can see, this is my daily life. You have lived in fine clothes and fine food since you were a child, and this kind of life is not what you should do. And This kind of day is my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone. Go back and don’t stay any longer. You are not a cultivator, why should you suffer with me? You can tell him when you go back and hope he will understand more. God has the virtue of a good life, and he should do less evil. Treating the people of this world well is to accumulate blessings for this second daughter."
Looking at Erya's calm expression, Daya forgot about her hunger at this moment. The original resentful thoughts had long since disappeared. At this moment, the only thing in my heart is my heartache for this twin sister who has not been close to me or anyone in the palace except her grandmother since she was a child. This shouldn't be the case. She was supposed to be a princess of the Heavenly Family just like him. Even if you really have to give up your life of fine clothing and fine food and concentrate on cultivating Taoism, you don't have to suffer this hardship.
Regarding the distressed look on Da Ya's face, Er Ya just smiled faintly. He didn't say anything else, he just gave a salute to Daya. Then he sat on the futon again and prepared to enter meditation. But just when Da Ya turned around to leave, Er Ya's calm voice came from behind: "If you still feel sorry for them. If you see these things today, don't tell them. Don't let me get in trouble too much, Repeat the same mistakes as your grandmother. This is the last request I make to you as your sister. Please."
Erya's words made Daya silent, and she nodded after a long time. But after Daya left, Erya, who had kept her eyes closed, opened her eyes. Looking at the exquisitely carved jade phoenix tied with a red string that Daya put in front of her before leaving, she fell into deep thought.
