The Lotus Lantern in Green Letters

Chapter 12

The green peak enters the sky, and the white clouds are continuous.The golden and jade pavilions are one after another, and under the hollow aisles are winding emerald waters, rippling with emerald green mist.The sun shines through the clouds with colorful rays of light, shining on the majestic palace, the nine-story Xuantai, each layer is paved with pure white jade, and the alchemy room made of pearls and gems, next to it is the clear fairyland. .Surrounded by emerald water, the fairyland is blue.A dazzling array of treasures, the colorful gauze hanging on the corridor, the sun is shining slightly, here is only daytime, here are all fairies in luxurious and exquisite clothes, and fairies in white feathers, these fairies transform into cranes flying in the air fly away.From time to time in the sky, there are gorgeously decorated carriages passing by, and a Pegasus with white wings flying in front, I don't know which distinguished guest is inside.The green mountains and forests are lush and full of vitality. When the wind blows, the leaves move with the wind. I don’t know which palace is entertaining guests, and there are endless sounds of nature. Here, the music has never stopped.There are nine layers of weak water at the foot of the mountain, and the torrents of the ten thousand feet, ordinary people can't reach it, but the mountain is full of fairy spirit, and the aurora shines everywhere, and ordinary evil spirits can't reach it.Here is Kunlun Mountain.

Kunlun Mountain does not belong to the lower realm, but the Queen Mother of the West is so hospitable that she exposes Kunlun Mountain to the lower realm from time to time, in order to find someone who is destined, but there are very few people who are destined.

Lu Sheng walked to the window a little irritatedly. There was a great glow outside, the cranes were flying in the sky, the celestial horses galloped on the auspicious clouds, and the green water was gurgling under the window. It was like a dreamlike scene, but he actually saw it, saw it. Arrived in real wonderland.

But Lu Sheng felt a little irritable. He wanted to go out, but the boy guarding the door wouldn't let him go out, only saying that the goddess asked him to wait in the room.

Suddenly, there was a sound of closing the door behind him, and Lu Sheng saw Yao Ji enter the door.

Yao Ji looked at the cakes on the table and frowned, "Why don't you eat something, although you won't feel hungry here, your body won't be able to hold it."

Lu Sheng sneered, "Why are ordinary people's bodies so fragile in your eyes?"

Yao Ji lowered her eyes, then raised her head and said calmly, "Lu Lang, don't engage in emotional disputes."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng strode over, grabbed Yao Ji's arm with one hand, and said with red eyes, "You said they'll be fine, but where are they now?"

Yaoji was silent, and only spoke after a while: "My mother didn't do this."

Lu Sheng laughed at himself, then let go of Yao Ji's hand dejectedly.

"Lu Lang, do you regret it?" Yao Ji looked at Lu Sheng and said.

"I regret, regret what, regret that I shouldn't trust you. Lied to Yang Jian, lied to him that his adoptive father had appeared in Jinling."

After finishing speaking, Lu Sheng laughed again, but the sarcasm in his tone grew louder, "But even if it wasn't me, you would still find someone else."

Yaoji didn't answer.

It's been a long time.Lu Sheng asked, "Is it true that you said you wanted to be with me?"

Yao Ji only heard the calmness in his tone, but didn't see the sarcasm in his eyes.

She quickly replied, "It's true. As long as this matter is over, I will spend the rest of my life with you."

"Then will you love me?" Lu Sheng continued to ask.

Lu Sheng kept looking at Yao Ji, watching and watching, Yao Ji slowly lowered her head, and then she slowly said, "No."

Lu Sheng laughed loudly, "If there is no love, let's forget it." With a smile, tears came out, Lu Sheng thought, this is what he gave everything to pursue, in fact, Yao Ji was not wrong, everything started It's just a transaction, but he is too greedy.

Yao Ji watched Lu Sheng laughing and crying, and then said in a low voice, "Lu Lang, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."

Yao Ji remembered that thing that was considered taboo in the upper realm.

The sun was about to set, and the sound of mountain birds returning to the forest came from the nearby forest.The sky was originally colorful, and the clouds of different shades gradually deepened and gradually turned purple and dark blue.

Yang Tianzu quit work early today before it got dark, but he didn't go home. He went to the haystack beside the field, pulled it a few times, and took out the wine hidden here. It was the last time he went to the market to buy secretly. of.He didn't dare to take it home, and his son would drink it when he got home. His son had grown up and became the master of the house, and he was already old.

Years of farming made his face covered with gullies like the ground under his feet, and the deep gullies were filled with sweat and old age.He had a son and two daughters all his life. When he was young, he was full of vigor and always supported the face of the head of the family. No one in the family could disobey him. But now, his wife, who has been with him for decades, no longer pays attention to him. It is in the children, and the children also have their own families.

He realized that he didn't feel how hard it was. He had a secret and sweet dream in his heart, just like the wine that became more mellow with time, that dream became more and more beautiful with time.But all he can share with it is a tombstone.

As if rushing to an unspoken agreement, he took the wine and walked on a mountain road to the west mountain.The mountain road was winding and winding, but he reached his destination in no time.

Several months have passed since the Qingming Festival, and the grass on the grave has grown luxuriantly. Yang Tianzu took out a machete and cut off all the grass, leaving bare stubble.

After cutting, he sat down in front of the tombstone. On the simple stone tablet was engraved "Tomb of Yang Family Dalang Tianyou". The person who erected the monument was his younger brother Yang Tianzu.

But today is not Yang Tianzu's brother's memorial day, but the day that person left.

Yang Tianzu took a sip of wine, then stared at the tombstone, and asked seriously, "Do you think she is still alive?"

He really couldn't imagine what that man looked like when he was old.

She is the most beautiful person Yang Tianzu has ever seen in his life, and she is also his nominal sister-in-law.

In fact, Yang Tianzu has always looked down on his elder brother. Although his elder brother is recognized in the village as a person who can study and will be admitted to high office in the future, Yang Tianzu still looks down on him.Life in the past was worse than it is now. Being able to fill the stomach is the biggest pursuit of everyone. At that time, he helped the family with farm work every day, while his elder brother only knew how to read all day long, flipping through a few books , I never tire of reading it.

Moreover, Yang Tianyou had never done farm work, because everyone in the village told his parents that Yang Dalang would definitely pass the exam for a high official and honor his ancestors.His parents were very happy, but Yang Tianzu felt angry, where did the family get spare money to support a living person, and why didn't you see a scholar in your family.At that time, everyone gave up their studies early in order to make a living. It was enough to know a few big characters and their own names.

However, what he envied most was his elder brother.

He started a family early after he became an adult, but his elder brother was still buried in the pile of books.

His brother had never been close to any woman in the village, and Yang Tianzu certainly knew that although the villagers were in awe of scholars who could read, they preferred men who could go to the fields.

However, until that day, Yang Tianyou brought a girl home, and when that girl approached their house, everyone felt that the thatched cottage suddenly lit up.It was only later that he found out that this girl was called Yunjin, and in his eyes, she was really like a cloud in the sky.But he couldn't call her by that name, he wanted to call her sister-in-law.

Yang Tianyou brought Yunjin back to discuss the marriage. Yunjin had no relatives and came here alone, but the old couple was shocked and speechless when they saw a fairy-like person.But then they happily agreed, they thought, their eldest son is really going to be a big hit, and he married such a beautiful daughter-in-law.

Yang Tianzu looked at his weather-stained wife next to him, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Yang Tianyou and his wife moved out and settled in another thatched cottage in the village.Yang Tianzu found out that his brother would actually help with housework and farm work.But when he saw Yunjin working in the fields like other women in the village, he felt distressed, and he resented his brother even more. He thought, if he married Yunjin, he would definitely try his best to make her live a better life, but , it is undeniable that Yun Jin had a very happy time.He quietly walked around his brother's house after finishing work every day, and saw Yunjin in the yard.Every time, Yunjin had a smile on her face, and that smile made Yang Tianzu feel warm.

But he also gradually discovered that when he returned home, his wife looked at him expressionlessly, and her eyes became colder and colder.

Time passed like this, until Yun Jin gave birth to a child.Yang Tianzu thought, so the dust has settled, she is his sister-in-law.

On the day the child was born, Yang Tianzu went to see the child. The child was very beautiful, like brocade, and there was a little cinnabar mole on the forehead, and he looked beaming.

He thought that the days would pass like this, but within a few days, Yun Jin, who was supposed to be confinement, disappeared together with the child. Yang Tianzu suddenly remembered the continuous golden clouds in the sky in those few days.At that time, everyone in the village said it was a good omen.

Yang Tianyou lay on the bed, refusing to say anything, and vomited blood again and again. The two old people couldn't help crying, beating their chests and stamping their feet, and finally cursed that the woman must have run away with the child.

Yang Tianzu felt that it was true.

He always thought that Yunjin didn't belong here.But it doesn't contain his selfishness, he doesn't want to say it.

Then the days went like that, his elder brother dragged on for a few years and sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

And now 27 years have passed, Yang Tianzu saw that the wine jar in his hand was empty, he got up, stretched out his hands and beat his waist, and said, "Brother, I will come to see you next time."

After finishing speaking, he wandered back, knowing that he would be accused again when he returned smelling of alcohol, but ah, he had a dream that no one knew about.He is happy.

Yaoji thought of the gentle and beautiful Goddess Yunhua waiter back then.

After that incident, the mother was afraid that they would be like her, so she set up restrictions for them, so that they could not fall in love with mortals, and could not combine with mortals.

She suddenly remembered that when she first met Lu Sheng, it was the first time she went to the lower realm, and her mother asked her to find a man named Lu Sheng.

At that time, when she saw him holding the little child's gradually freezing body, she couldn't restrain herself from crying.She had never seen tears before that.

Before she showed up, she stole a drop of his tears, the tears fell between her fingers, and the moment they touched her skin, her hand was scorched, and the tears slipped from her fingers. Only then did she know that the tears of ordinary people can contain so many emotions.

The gods and immortals in the upper realm seldom cry, and it is said that those are cold and have no temperature.

The author has something to say: Well, let’s continue writing in the next chapter.Just to start writing something.To spread out.Then there's the drama.
