roses and lilies

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, Zhan Rong didn't study quietly like before. He just sat blankly on the soft soil, watching Xuanya come here every time in a carriage, the direction of the small road, the direction of the path in his mind. The little things about the two of them under the big tree emerged from the scene.

It used to be so beautiful, with endless words, endless things to talk about, endless books to read, and endless love to talk about.Whenever parting, but also so reluctantly.He suddenly realized that Xuanya had become a part of his life.He couldn't do without her at all, and he felt a little sad when he thought about it. As far as the current situation was concerned, he had to be mentally prepared.The possibility of the two of them being together is extremely slim, which can be seen from her father Lao Xuan's expression, which is full of disdain and annoyance, which is exactly what he guessed earlier, they are already a family of officials, How can you think highly of yourself, a poor boy who is down and out?People go to high places, but water flows to low places.

Zhan Rong was restless, his thoughts were mixed with longing for his lover Xuanya, and full of worries about their future.As if he had discussed with Xuanya in advance, he sat under the big tree with a tacit understanding, quietly waiting for her arrival. He knew that she would definitely come, but he didn't know how he would face it after the two met.He knew best in his heart how difficult it was for Xuanya to be caught in the middle.She has to face the double pressure of her father and her lover, and this is not an ordinary conflict, but an irreconcilable contradiction between different family backgrounds and different statuses.

Just as he was thinking about the familiar ringing of Luan's bell, he thought about it again, and a gorgeous carriage drove up from that path, and the dirt was stepped out of the dust mist by the horse's hooves and the shaft for a while.He knew that the lover he was looking forward to had come.It is three steps and two steps and gallops over.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Xuanya couldn't wait to jump down and ran towards her lover. The two hugged each other tightly, fearing that if they let go, they would be snatched away by others.

The two remained silent, both of them understood the meaning of meeting them this time.

Xuanya's face was full of tears, and she choked and said, "Brother Zhan Rong! No matter what! My heart will always be with you!"

After Zhan Rong heard this, his heart skipped a beat involuntarily. He knew that she must be the one who told about their plan to get married, but his father refused.Therefore, she will say so.

"Does your father disagree with our matter?" Zhan Rong didn't want to believe that his judgment was true, so he asked tentatively like unwillingly.

"Perhaps my father also has his difficulties! My father wants to betroth me to Yuanyu, the son of King Liang! King Liang is the emperor's own brother. He deliberately came to ask for his son's marriage. His family is too powerful. If he refuses, my father will definitely be in court. His official career will be ruined, for the sake of my father, I have to agree! The date of the wedding has been selected, which will be on the eighth day of the next lunar month, and King Liang has notified the emperor and notified all civil and military officials to attend at that time!" Xuanya will The bad news is out.

Zhan Rong was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't slow down for a while. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. He knew that the result was irreversible, and he could understand his father's difficulties. , involuntarily.

"Xuanya! You don't need to say it! I understand your difficulties, and I know that you have nothing to do. You must not worry about me. I only belong to you in this life. No matter what, I will never marry another girl Zhan Rong's eyes have already been wet. Although he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, the pain in his heart is self-evident. After all, the two have been in love for so many years. He watched helplessly that his lover was about to fall into the arms of others and become Can other people's wives feel better?This heart is twisted like a knife.

When Xuanya heard this, she was very moved. She didn't want her lover to spend her whole life alone for her. It would be unfair to him and even more inhumane. What? I know what you think about me. We can’t be a husband and wife in this life, but we can be in the next life. After all, we have to live in the future! You listen to me, find a girl you like, and live a good life. Everything has to look forward , You must not live your life in misery alone."

"Don't worry! I will live a good life! However, a happy life is not about finding a girl you like! Isn't being single happy? Xuanya! I hope you will be happy! I will silently bless you here! "Zhan Rong spoke earnestly.

Xuanya knew best that he definitely couldn't let her go, and she couldn't help but feel extremely sad. In fact, why didn't she miss him all the time in her heart!

The two cuddled together and enjoyed the precious minutes and seconds they spent together.As night fell, the two parted as before reluctantly.

Zhan Rong still watched the gorgeous chariots drift away, thinking in his heart, Xuanya was already engaged, and she was always so concerned about herself, there was no way to get restless.

She will definitely meet with herself at the big tree at the entrance of the village every now and then. If her servants leak the news and it reaches King Liang's ears, then Xuanya's family will be killed. He must not Because of this bitter love, she and her father were hurt, so in order to let her let go of herself as soon as possible, and to ease the pain in her heart, he decided to say goodbye to his parents.Go far away and go to the outside world to have a good time.Once you can make a good appearance, then let your parents enjoy the happiness.

He has traveled all the way to great rivers and mountains, enjoying the magnificent scenery, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't replace his lover Xuanya's position in his heart.He missed her all the time, but it caused the crux of lovesickness. He was already poor and penniless, and the hunger for days and the hot and cold weather made him suffer from cold and high fever, so he fell headlong. Fell on the side of the road, unconscious.Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he saw a young Taoist nun sitting beside him, and he was lying on the bed. When he recalled that he fell ill and was rescued by this benefactor, he quickly got up and knelt down to kowtow to the benefactor. The nun quickly helped him up and asked about the situation.

Zhan Rong told the Taoist nun about his life experience and this series of things without reservation. It is also you and I who are destined to meet here!"

Zhan Rong saw that this Taoist nun's kung fu is very good, and she also knows the miraculous skill of fortune-telling, and it was as if she had found a life-saving straw.That is to say, "Taoist! I miss Xuanya too much. I don't think about food and drink every day, and I can't sleep at night. I feel that I have suffered from lovesickness. What should I do? "

The nun smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "You have suffered from this heart disease now. The reason why you are like this is because you can't let her go!"

Zhan Rong hurriedly asked: "Then how should I let go?"

"I want to let go! It's not difficult! But I'm afraid you won't!" Taoist said thoughtfully.

"Taoist! As long as I can get rid of this matter in my heart, I will do anything! In fact, I have already put life and death aside." Zhan Rong said firmly.

"This death is not serious, it's not that serious, you just need to put on this Taoist robe, put your hair up in a bun, enter the Sanqing sect, and kneel down to worship the god of heaven!" The nun explained the method.

"You mean to make me a Taoist priest?" Zhan Rong asked back.

"Exactly! Then you can concentrate on cultivation, join my Jiuxian sect and concentrate on cultivating the truth, so that you can get rid of the worldly troubles, so you can let go!" The nun explained carefully.

Zhan Rong has already made up his mind that apart from Xuanya, he will never marry another girl in this life. Now that Xuanya has become Yuanyu's wife, he has nothing to worry about. The only thing he worries about is his parents. After taking the two elders over, he worshiped under the Taoist nun's door, practiced and learned the Tao, and lived a life without desires and desires.

Thinking of this, Zhan Rong agreed without hesitation, and just like that, he worshiped under the Taoist nun.Only then did he know that this Taoist nun is not an idler, but a peerless martial arts master. Although she is young, she is already the head of the Jiuxian sect.It also has a nice name called Qiong Hui.

The Taoist nun taught Zhan Rongna the skills of practicing Taoism and meditating, and also asked him to study the method of accumulating alcohol in the secret book of the wine fairy.Zhan Rong is also very hardworking, studying hard day and night.

One day, the Taoist priest ordered Zhan Rong, who was practicing kung fu, to be recruited into the reception hall. Zhan Rong felt a little strange. Normally, the reception hall was only open for distinguished guests. Besides, it should be the work of the Taoist priest Jiuxian to welcome the distinguished guests!Why call yourself there?Suspiciously, he stepped into the threshold of the reception hall. The scene in front of him stunned him, and the tears fell in pairs involuntarily.

What is the reason?There were two people sitting on the VIP chairs in the reception hall, a man and a woman, two old men, both with gray hair and wrinkled faces. When these two saw Zhan Rong, their faces were full of tears and wept bitterly. who?It was Zhan Rong's parents!The old couple hugged their son in great pain, this parting took so long, can you not think about it?Chatted with my son in full swing.

After Zhan Rong settled the two elders, he went back to his room. He couldn't understand it. He didn't reveal half a word about his parents. I was distracted by my own practice and Taoism, so I picked up the two elders and settled down.Thinking about this, Fang suddenly realized that the Taoist nun is good at divination!After counting the fingers, he figured out the matter of the parents.It's really like Tianzun living in the world like a god!

It is even more admiration for Taoist Jiuxian, but he still misses Xuanya all the time in his heart. Although he is a Taoist priest, he never forgets his lover every day.This practice of cultivation is afraid of too many distracting thoughts in his mind, so the Taoist nun took his parents over so that he can concentrate on cultivation without distractions.However, it seems that he is practicing hard, day and night, tirelessly, but his mind is not clear.

How could the Taoist aunt fail to see that Zhan Rong didn't benefit at all during the cultivation of Qi, Daoyin, Vipassana, and storage of thoughts.The Taoist nun was disappointed, she felt very strange, so she counted her fingers, only to realize that she was thinking about the old things of the world all day, and in a fit of rage, she wanted to expel her from the sect.
