Genealogy and legend(1/2)
Luo Shi came to a very dark road in a daze. In front of him, two people raised dark yellow lanterns to guide the way, one man and one woman, one black and one white. The white dress was a beautiful woman, and the black dress was a handsome man. Luo Shi followed uncontrollably. The white dress was said: "Don't look back, the future will be over."
Luo Shi followed her with a slight understanding.
On both sides of the road, there are large patches of bright red flowers, as bright as blood.
Luo Shi asked, "What kind of flower is this? It's so bright."
But the two did not answer, and suddenly a male voice rang out: "This is the flower of the other shore, the flowers bloom without leaves, and the leaves are green without flowers."
Luo Shi looked in the sound and said in surprise: "Meng Li?"
The man was slightly stunned, and the two men leading the way in front of him knelt down and shouted, "Master."
Luo Shi stood there: "Where is this? Am I dead? Are you the master here?"
The man only glanced at her slightly, waved his hands at the kneeling two people, then turned around and left, disappearing step by step into the flowers.
Luo Shi wanted to chase forward and shouted, "Mengli, Mengli." But he was bound by a lock frame and fell into the flowers. His wrists and clothes were dyed with flower mud. It was so bright that it was terrifying that the woman in white shook her head, sighed, and then held Luo Shi forward.
After passing Wangchuan, it was Meng Po’s house. A woman in white said a few words in Meng Po’s ear. Meng Po frowned and angrily said, “Why is this Mingxi more and more nonsense? If this is discovered by the people of the Heavenly Clan, alas!”
The man in black said unhappily: "Then Meng Po, are you giving this soup or not?"
Meng Po was determined: "Even if Ming Xi came in person, I would not give it to him. His affairs with the Illusion Fruit have violated the way of heaven. The old Hades lost his life and inherited the catastrophe. Now, if this way is the next catastrophe of heaven, who will inherit it?"
The river was black and there was still fog. There was a stone tablet by the river. Luo Shi saw that the stone tablet was blue and crystal clear, but he had no choice but to watch it.
I don’t know what the three of them said again, but in the end, Meng Po said relieved: “Oh, that’s all the time, my old woman doesn’t understand what love is. She faces infatuated men and women all day long. Now, she has arrived on Mingxi. Girl, come forward.”
Seeing that she was wavering at her, Luo Shi walked closer. Meng Po flirted with a book and sighed: "Your trip is not worth it, and you have never asked for it forever. Let me ask you, do you wish to forget Mengli and Luo Ning, forever, and you will never be able to meet."
Luo Shi's eyes suddenly became very calm: "I do."
Meng Po smiled and said, "Then why are you feeling very uncomfortable at this moment? This place is like a needle piercing?" Meng Po pointed to Luo Shixin's place. Luo Shi lowered her eyes, stroked her heart, and asked, "Can I see them again?"
Meng Po said: "It is true that you can stay with them when you think of the past." Luo Shifang wanted to remember the past when Ming Xi arrived. Several people saluted. Ming Xi said coldly: "Grandma, I was watched by you since I was a child. You should know my temperament. She must drink this soup even if she doesn't drink it. In this cycle, she must eat it, Bai Li, Hei Qing, and pour soup."
When I was born, lightning and thunder were roaring and dark clouds were covered with dark clouds. A Taoist priest passed by and divined a divination and frowned slowly: "This child is a very evil person, an evil ghost who is unwilling to be reincarnated in the underworld." After that, he ran away. My mother was at a loss.
My father is a businessman from Jiangnan. He has countless houses and many children. I was almost strangled to death in my infancy. My mother forced me to do so. So in order to eliminate my evil spirit, my father sent me into the Taoist temple. I have lived in the Taoist temple since I was a Taoist temple. That Taoist temple was controlled by a Taoist nun. I recognized the elder Miaochen as my master. My mother personally handed me to the Taoist nun and turned around and went down the mountain.
My master is pure and has few desires. She always says that my spirit is too high and not suitable for becoming a monk to practice. Even if I grew up in Taoist temples since I was a child, I still can't get rid of my vulgarity.
This temple is called Ziyang Temple. On the top of the mountain, the Taoist nuns with fluttering clothes suddenly raised me, a child. I was really not polite and made them a lot. When they named me, they named hundreds of them. From the initial joy to the madness, I cried to death whenever I heard them call me that name. Finally, Master Miaochen said, "Forget it, you will inevitably fall into the world. In this world, women are the leader, so I will give you a name for the world. What about you?"
When I heard this name, I stopped making noise. This was what others said later, and I couldn't admire myself and chose a name for myself. But when I was in my infancy, I guess it was probably because they didn't like me and deliberately made it up.
After all, every Taoist nun has been teased by me, or she hides their Taoist robes, so that they can't attend morning classes, hide behind the door to scare them, and sometimes they even use some hidden weapons and mechanisms, and they really can't stop me. In fact, what I fear most is the master. She is always cold and can't laugh, and I can't make her angry.
One year, a pilgrim came here for a few months, and I became even more arrogant and learned a lot of strange things. The pilgrim was a man of seventeen or eighteen years old. Because of a mistake, his powerful father sent him here to practice cultivation. He knew a lot of novel things.
He taught me to climb trees, catch fish, and practice martial arts. He also gave me a book to make hidden weapons in the machinery, and my life became even more fun. Later, one day, he suddenly left. The master said that he was the son of a high-ranking official and would definitely perform his mission. I asked the master foolishly: "Master, what is Brother Shen Han's mission? Is it fun?"
The master looked at me worriedly: "I hope you never have to understand."
I nodded in a daze.
Next year, I will be fifteen and will be about to go to school. In recent years, my life is still happy. I occasionally read through the books left by Brother Shen Han and practice martial arts, and continue to trouble everyone. However, my father didn't know how he thought about it, but he thought of my daughter and sent someone to pick me up a few times. I am a lay disciple of Master Miaochen, so she will do whatever I want.
But I didn't know where to go. I was raised by the Taoist nuns since I was a child. This was already my home. Although I often teased them, I couldn't bear to leave them, so I refused to go down the mountain.
Master Miaochen heard my decision, sat quietly without comment.
Then, a nun ran in, looked at me angry, and said to Master Miaochen: "Senior sister, Qingmei, Qingmei actually went down the river to catch fish again, and placed it in the kitchen cooking utensils."
Miaochen covered his mouth and smiled, "Qingmei? You explain."
I looked innocent and said to my uncle: "Uncle Yanshe, I really didn't kill. I, I just didn't have the right tools for a while, so I put them in the cooking utensils."
Uncle Master was not grateful: "Can't you put it in the small pond under the locust tree in the courtyard?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment: "But, uncle, I can't find what I've caught."
Uncle Yanshe raised his hand in the air and then put it back. I was not afraid. She was like this every time and would not really hit me.
After Uncle Yanshe left, the master said to me: "Qingmei, I said that everyone has tasks, and tasks are things that must be experienced. We have never concealed anything from you in your past, and I am not good at saying anything. You have had your own ideas since childhood. Although you are still young, I know that you will definitely make your own decisions."
I once again said stubbornly: "My decision is to stay."
Master Miaochen said softly: "It's up to you."
I left the master's door and stood in the yard and blew the wind for a while. The forest at the foot of the mountain was lush and lush. At first glance, it was colorful and very cute. At the end of those trees, this small town in Jiangnan was faintly seen, named Luoan, and a slender branch blocked my view.
It was a little windy, so I went back to the house and covered my head and fell asleep.
I thought that going back was just a whim of my father, so I refused and broke up with them. I quietly grew old and left in the mountains. But just half a month after those people left, my father, who had never been masked, came to the Taoist temple in person.
The formation was very large, and he said to Master Miaochen: "Master Taoist, my daughter has been here for more than ten years. It's time to be out of luck, right?"
Master Miaochen said: "Donor, are you going to pick up Qingmei back?"
My father was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing who Qing Mei was. Master Miaochen seemed to see his thoughts and said, "This is Qing Mei." My father reacted and said, "That's right, her mother was sick and she was here to pick her up and reunite her."
I was anxious: "My mother is sick?"
Just like that, I went home with him, and since then I have the surname Lu and Lu Qingmei.
When I returned to the mansion, I realized that my humble mother had already died of illness. The purpose of taking me back this time was to marry my sister Lu Shaohua. Although my father had many wives and concubines and many descendants, he had few daughters. The younger ones were only the chief horn, and the older ones had married. Although Lu Shaohua was born in a vain, he looked beautiful and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was a great beauty of Luo An, and his father also wanted to cultivate her. Luo An had a high-ranking official here. He wanted to get to know him and made a marriage with him drunk at the banquet, but now he has no daughter to marry. After Lu Shaohua's reminder, he thought of me, the unlucky man.
When I returned to the mansion, my father said, "Your Ma, since you come, you will be at ease. Being married to Shen Han is much better than you suffer in the Taoist temple."
I suddenly felt excited: "Dad? Is it really Shen Han?"
My father never expected my reaction: "How? Do you know me?"
I said that I was married, and I didn’t know the meaning of marriage. The master never said that the mother-in-law who served me said, “Miss, marriage means you want to have children for a man.” I asked, “Give birth to children? How to give birth to? How to give birth? How to give birth?” After my mother-in-law explained, I felt ashamed and curious, and I didn’t want to have children.
The next day, I told my father about this idea. My father got angry and said, "You can't help but get married. The marriage is entirely based on the orders of my parents, and you can do it at will?"
Since then, I have been watched a little tighter.
On that day, the blessings received in Ziyang Temple, Master Miaochen personally gave me blessings. The scene I saw when I was young was accompanied by a strict father and a kind mother, but I was alone. My father said he would arrange for me at home and send a sedan chair. I had accepted the blessings, so I should go home, but on the way back, it rained heavily, and the group had to return to Ziyang Temple. I thought I would return to the rain less, but the rain was half a month at once, and there was no intention of stopping. The mountain road was washed away. The master said, "Since you can't go back, then calm down, God has made arrangements."
I was no longer impetuous when I heard this.
Later, an acquaintance came on the mountain. The one who came in the heavy rain was Brother Chen Han.
He came at night, and the rain was so heavy that I opened the door and he was under the eaves. He looked at me and smiled: "Qing Mei? Well, you have grown up?"
My blushing evaporated the rain: "Brother Chen Han? Come in, the rain is so heavy, why are you here?"
Brother Chen Han sighed: "I was forced to no avail. Forget it. Since I am here, no one can do anything to me."
The rain was still falling, but it was much smaller. My brother Chen Han had no intention of leaving. He said, "My father got married for me drunk. I thought it was the woman I liked, so I was ecstatic. But later, my father-in-law found another daughter from somewhere and wanted to give it to me. A few days ago, my father-in-law said that his daughter was in the hairpin and came here to receive blessings, but was trapped by the heavy rain. My father was dissatisfied. After his temper broke out, I left the house and had no place to go, so he came here."
I felt like something was in my heart, and I tugged it hard, and said murnaly: "Brother Chen Han, is it Lu Shaohua you like?"
He nodded and said, "That's right, oh, the woman who married me is the same name as you, and is also called Qingmei."
I was silent. Since that's the case, I must know that Lu Shaohua's heart is Brother Chen Han.
The rain finally stopped, and the pear blossoms at the foot of the mountain bloomed one after another, very beautiful and cute. The master said, "Qingmei, you and Donor Chen should go down the mountain earlier."
Brother Chen Han said, "Elder, there is no need to see you off, I recognize the way."
I explained with some difficulty: "Brother Chen Han, I am Lu Qingmei, who is married to you." Brother Chen Han was stunned and said nothing.
He and I went down the mountain alone, looking at each other speechlessly, he rushed forward in a hurry, and I landed behind me, abandoned the sedan chair, stood under the pear tree, closed my eyes, and the wind blowing from all sides rose on my face. The wind on the hillside was really strong.
At the foot of the mountain, I fell, sprained my ankle, and lay on the ground in pain. I couldn't explain the emotion clearly. While I was thinking, a hand appeared in front of me. I looked up happily, but it was not Brother Chen Han, but another man, who looked a little cold, and said to me: "Girl, have you sprained your ankle?"
I took advantage of the power and said, "Thank you, Mr.."
The man asked again, "Where is your home? I will send my entourage to take you back." I said, "No, thank you, my servants are nearby, I will wait for them here."
The man looked a little acquainted. He frowned and said, "How can that be? Don't show off your power. Are you that girl? I'll just send someone to send you back."
I was so embarrassed that I said, "My surname is Lu."
He understood and summoned his subordinates to send me back. After that, I was bedridden for many days, and my ankles were swollen and I couldn't walk. Brother Chen Han came to visit me once, but he was just a greeting with my father.
Lu Shaohua came at noon and smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Sister, I heard that you had sprained your ankle, so I rushed over in a hurry."
I wondered: "Sister, I've been back for many days."
Lu Shaohua blushed and said, "Forget it, let's not mention these, look, I have picked a few pieces of cloth with you and made wedding dresses for you. Look, what do you like?"
I looked at it and asked again, "Sister, do you like Brother Chen Han?"
Lu Shaohua looked suspicious, then calmed down again and sighed: "Oh! What joy can we talk about? It's just the words of the matchmaker from our parents' orders, and there is no choice."
I said anxiously: "Sister, Brother Chen Han likes you. If you like him too, then you should be together."
Lu Shaohua's face changed and she yelled: "Qingmei, how could I look down on Chen Han? I am the one who wants to be a princess. There are countless men who Luo An thinks about me. Do I still have to agree to everyone? Humph." She dropped a hum, waved her sleeves and left angrily, leaving me at a loss.
And I just realized that her ambition, Brother Chen Han, was just a chess piece, and I was just a chess piece.
I thought I would marry Brother Chen Han like that, but fate once again gave me a choice.
My father's 60th birthday was very popular this time, and he even invited Mr. Huai Liu. Mr. Huai Liu is the sixth son of the current emperor and the most favored prince. He is very strongly tempted to become the next king. It is rumored that these six princes have no intention of government affairs and are nostalgic for flowers, which angered the emperor, so the emperor asked him to come here to think about his mistakes.
At the banquet, I finally knew that the man was Master Huai Liu, the person Lu Shaohua liked. At the banquet, Lu Shaohua performed a dance, as if he was a fairy, but the man sitting next to his father said, "Mr. Lu, you are a good maid, good."
The father's face was flushed and he said, "Sixth Master, this is the young girl's youth."
