She raised her head to look at the calm man next to her in surprise. A trace of surprise flashed in Li Mochou's eyes. It was clear that she was about to get the Heart Sutra that she had dreamed of, but for some reason, Li Mochou was not happy at all now. Some were just... Infinite melancholy.
She did not respond to Dongzhang immediately, but lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Lu Yao who was laughing and playing with Shenliu in the distance, and said calmly: "Okay."
She actually wanted to ask Dongzhang, didn't he agree to 'imprison' her for three years? Now that one year has not yet arrived, why...
But after glancing at the indifferent man beside her, Li Mochou's words turned into a dull word "good" in the end. No one knew the bitterness in her heart.
"Well, tomorrow, Dragon Girl will personally teach you the training in the scriptures. After you learn it, you can go down the mountain."
Nodding, Dongzhang turned around and walked back. After taking two steps, he paused slightly, turned his back to Li Mochou and said, "Remember, in the future, if you are bullied, you can do whatever you want." Tell me your name, and no matter what you do, the people coming out of the ancient tomb will not be able to let them point their fingers, I will take care of it for you."
After Dongzhang finished speaking, he walked straight out of the mountain. He didn't see Li Mochou, who had his back turned to her. At this moment, her eyes were filled with mist, her eyes were already red, and she was on the verge of falling into tears. She originally thought that her heart was full of mist. She was already as solid as a rock. At the age of sixteen, she had already wandered alone in the world, asking herself what kind of situation she had never seen before.
But she didn't expect to be broken by this man's two simple words. The softness and key in her heart was undoubtedly the word caring. She had always been a loner, and she had also fantasized about being loved by others. The feeling of care.
Dongzhang didn't say many words, but every word touched the softest part of her heart. Once upon a time, she, Li Mochou, actually had a 'backstage'...
The next day.
Xiao Longnu took Li Mochou back to the ancient tomb and bowed to Lin Chaoying's portrait first. Li Mochou hesitated for a moment, and then followed suit.
Seeing Li Mochou's heartfelt salute, Xiao Longnu's eyes flashed with tenderness and said, "Senior Sister, I will teach you the formula from Jade Girl's Heart Sutra, please remember it."
As she spoke, she slowly recited the teachings in the Heart Sutra one by one, while Li Mochou, who was opposite her, always looked a little confused. Many times, Xiao Longnu was forced to stop repeating, because Li Mochou was simply Somewhat absent-minded.
Looking at the latter with a slight frown, Xiao Longnu said: "Senior sister, concentrate and meditate."
Li Mochou glanced at the patient Xiao Longnu with a slightly embarrassed look, nodded and said, "I understand."
The Jade Girl Heart Sutra emphasizes thinking less and having no thoughts. If Li Mochou practices it in his current state, something will definitely happen, and Xiao Longnu cannot tolerate it without warning.
But after all, she was her senior sister, so she couldn't say too much. Just stumbling like this, it took three days for Li Mochou to write down the formulas in the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra one by one. During this period, Xiao Longnu was worried and worried. After asking her several times, I felt relieved when I found that nothing was missing.
"Senior sister, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra requires two people to practice it together. I remember you have a disciple. If you think it is suitable, you can ask her to practice with you. Our ancestors practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra together with our master. "
Xiao Longnu couldn't help but remind Li Mochou, who looked a little confused.
"Well, I understand."
With a slight frown on her forehead, Xiao Longnu turned around and walked out of the ancient tomb. Just as she was about to walk through the corridor, Li Mochou behind her suddenly said hesitantly at Xiao Longnu's back: "Junior sister... thank you..."
The corner of her mouth curled up, but Xiao Longnu didn't respond. She walked straight through the corridor, and her figure disappeared around the corner from time to time.
After seeing her leave, Li Mochou stared blankly at the empty stone chamber, sighed deeply, and then walked out of the ancient tomb.
............
Three days later.
The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.
A prosperous scene appeared outside the ancient tomb. Dongzhang was sitting alone on the railing under the pergola, with one foot dangling on the ground and one leg bent up on the railing. He leaned against a wooden stake with his back and rested his elbows on his knees, dangling. With a small bottle of wine, he looked at the Chongyang Palace in the distance and wondered what he was thinking.
Behind him, Grandma Lu Qingsun and others were passing through the hall in a very busy manner. Soon, Xiao Longnu walked quietly behind Dong Zhang and said, "Okay."
At this moment, behind Dongzhang, Gongsun Shi, A Gang, Granny Sun, Lu Yao, Lu Qing and others were all standing still. Lu Yao had two long swords inserted diagonally on his waist, and he was carrying a long sword on his back. It was a gray cloth strip, and one could not see what was inside, but just by looking at the length, one could tell that it must be Dongzhang's black iron sword.
"Let's go."
Smiling and looking at the bright sun hanging above his head, Dongzhang jumped off the railing and walked down the mountain alone. Everyone behind him followed suit. Soon, everyone reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. What they saw were two forked roads, one on the left and the other on the left. One right.
Dongzhang took the lead and walked straight to the official road on the left. However, among the crowd, one person separated from the crowd and walked in the opposite direction, walking to the right. It was Li Mochou who was alone.
No one said much during the whole process, not a single word, as if they didn't know each other. The people on the left and the right gradually drifted away until they could no longer see each other.
"What, are you worried about her?"
Without looking back, Dongzhang also knew that Xiao Longnu's expression must be a little unbearable at this moment.
Shaking her head slightly, Long Nu asked, "Why don't you let Senior Sister follow us?"
"Ah......"
"Hasn't the goal been achieved? She can be free long ago, so why are we still 'tying' her?"
Dongzhang raised his hand to block the scorching sunshine, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Dragon Girl was startled when she heard this, and then she felt relieved. Yes, Li Mochou's mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes as early as the Sword Tomb. In other words, Li Mochou had a conscience again at that time. '.
Isn't that enough? The purpose of 'imprisoning' her is to make her forgive her sins. Now that she has awakened, why should she be tied up? She is a free person to begin with.
"Brother, will we see our uncle again in the future?"
Lu Qing was the softest one. Seeing Li Mochou's lonely back when they parted, she had long wanted to say goodbye. However, Dong Zhang had already issued an 'order', that is, no one could talk to Li Mochou when they parted. Don’t worry about taking the initiative to speak.
"Yes, who can say for sure what will happen in the future..."
Dongzhang was helpless, and Lu Yao helped carry the black sword. This little girl was not weak now. If something happened, not many people could get into her, so she could act as a temporary 'sword slave' for Dongzhang.
"In these two months, I will take you to see a 'river' that is bigger than a lake."
"Where is that place?"
When the girls from the ancient tomb heard this, their eyes lit up. When they were at Dasheng Pass, Lu Guanying took them to see the huge lake. They had been yearning for the scenery there for a long time. Every time they thought about it, they felt relaxed and happy. So There was also some excitement.
"The coast of the East China Sea..."
