thirsty

2000 years ago.

"Ah Xie, hurry up and meet Mr. Wu Nian." The wife of Xianfeng Mansion hurriedly led the young master, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, into the main hall.

"Hello, son." The young man named Ah Xie saw Wu Nian, he didn't dare to raise his head, he just lowered his eyebrows and bowed to him,

Wu Nian didn't speak, just looked at him straight.This white-clothed young man was really handsome, although he was only in his teens, but he had delicate features, and a pair of clear pupils were like blue waves and starry circles, soft and gentle yet without losing the heroic spirit of sword eyebrows and stars, quite a bit of majestic character.

"Just call me brother." Wu Nian said.

He was a few years older than Ah Xie, and he just knew some small fairy arts, so he was hired by the master in the capital to teach the young master how to cultivate immortals.

This matter has some origins.

It is said that this rich old man in Beijing City, who did not know one day he became enlightened or went crazy, suddenly didn't want to make money, and was always looking forward to cultivating immortals, but he didn't do it for himself. The young master became an immortal, and even the plaque on the mansion was changed from "the richest man in the capital" to "Xianfeng Mansion".

So the young master was so busy that he practiced martial arts at five o'clock when the rooster crowed, studied when the sun was high, wrote after noon, and practiced fairy arts by holding candles at night.

But this young master is also docile, as if he has been tamed. Whatever the old master asks him to do, he always obeys and obeys.

The young master was handsome, gentle and kind, no one had ever seen him lose his temper and show his temper. Although his family had a great fortune and he could be regarded as a half-manager in the capital, he had no airs at all. In the whole Beijing, no one I don't like the young master.

It may also be because of the young master's good temper that the elder master and his wife never had another child. They probably felt that they had given birth to a satisfactory son.

The eldest master has earned money for half his life, and he feels indebted in his heart, and it is not appropriate to have too much money, so he gave the young master the word "evil" to suppress him, and do some good deeds from time to time.Unexpectedly, when the boy was born, he was a good young man who was loved by everyone. The master felt that he was so virtuous and capable that he was favored by God, so when the child grew up, he asked him to cultivate immortality, and he insisted on repaying the Jade Emperor's favor.

That year, Wu Nian just practiced fairy art, went down the mountain to wander in the world, found a good job without much effort, and felt very happy, not to mention, facing such a temperless and status quo Young man, he is like a fish in water in the world.

The young master, Ah Xie, is talented in cultivating immortals, but also hardworking and willing to practice, so Wu Nian stole enough laziness in the Immortal Wind Mansion.

The elder was in awe of him, no matter what Wu Nian said, the dignified elder would listen with all his ears.Wu Nian also "does evil" a lot, and takes the young master out to play every three days in the name of going to the society.

The young master is stupid and has a lot of money, he waved his little hand with a smile, and bought whatever Wu Nian wanted.One summer, Wu Nian thought it was too hot, so the young master bought a summer resort and stayed with Wu Nian for a whole summer.

Once the summer is over, the young master waved his little hand again, saying that anyone who wants to live here can live there, and this villa is given to the common people as Mr. Wu Nian.

Everyone in the world cheered, only Wu Nian burst into tears, thinking that this stupid rich man, I will live next year, hey!

The young master was very puzzled: "Brother, you just spend a small amount of money, so why worry about it. Ah Xie will buy another one for you next year. How boring would it be to always go to the same mountain and see the same scenery?"

The corners of Wu Nian's mouth twitched slightly. He lived on the same mountain for more than twenty years, saw the same faces every day, ate those uninspiring dishes over and over again, and learned the same magic tricks. Over the past two decades, there has been nothing to report.

He thought to himself, probably the money he had seen in the past 20 years was not as much as the young master when he was one year old.

"By the way, what did you take when you caught Zhou?" Wu Nian asked him.

"I took a broken bowl. It was originally for decoration at home. I don't know who put it on the table." Ah Xie said.

"What broken bowl?" Wu Nian was surprised, could it mean that he will be a beggar in the future?

"Big brother, why bother to ask such trivial matters." Ah Xie looked at him and smiled gently.

Wu Nian had no way to ask, so I had to shut up and not talk about it.

Later, everyone in the capital knew that the young master of Xianfeng Mansion was kind to the common people, and they had to pay homage to the young master when they burned incense in the temple.As for his master, Mr. Wu Nian, he is a dandy and unruly character who is spoiled by the young master, and when he meets him, he has to give way to him with a pleasant face.

After a long time, Ah Xie and Wu Nian get along day and night, and inexplicably develop some different feelings.

Ah Xie became more and more dependent on Wu Nian, and Wu Nian became more and more fond of Ah Xie.

In the summer when Ah Xie was 19 years old, he really bought a summer resort for Wu Nianxin, and the two stayed there again for a whole summer.

In the noisy mountain garden, Wu Nian approached and gently kissed the young master, the refreshing fragrance from Ah Xie's skirt penetrated into his senses, and he suddenly realized what he was doing.

"Brother..." Ah Xie wiped her crimson lips, blushed and sat up to look at him.

Wu Nian didn't know how to explain, Ah Xie lowered his head and remained silent, before raising his head after a long time: "Brother, take Ah Xie away."

Wu Nian was surprised, and temporarily put aside the embarrassing matter just now: "What kind of words are these?"

"Brother, didn't you say that you can only become a fairy after you have experienced in the world? You can take Ah Xie to learn more." Ah Xie raised his head, his eyes were full of clarity and simplicity.

"Are you just listening to your father?" Wu Nian was disdainful, "What's so good about becoming an immortal?"

"Ah Xie just wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with brother." Ah Xie said.

Wu Nian sighed softly, never thought that such an unruly slut would also meet an infatuated kind.

Seeing that Wu Nian did not speak, the single-machine brainless young master thought he was hesitating, so he could only threaten him with an excuse, and bit his lip with a bit of shame, as if he had made a great determination.

"Brother, you kissed me, if you don't agree to me, Ah Xie will ask Dad to break your leg."

Seeing Ah Xie's awe-inspiring and generous expression, Wu Nian shook his head in shock, as expected, he was the young master who called the wind and rain in Beijing, and he could get his father out with just a word, so he couldn't be messed with.

When Ah Xie was [-] and crowned, Wu Nian really took him out to practice, and after going away for many years, there were ups and downs, and a deep affection was cultivated between the two of them.

The relationship between them is more than just standing shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm for intimacy, ear to ear, a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the rivers and lakes, really carefree.

Until the day Ah Xie was about to cultivate into a fairy, the fairy world punished Fairy Wu Nian for breaking the fairy rules and getting along with people privately, asking him to cut off the fairy magic, fall into the mortal womb, and never get along with this little guy in the world forever. See.

Wu Nian refused, and fled the Six Realms with Ah Xie, but was finally captured helplessly.

The immortals were furious and wanted to increase the punishment, so that Wu Nian would be tortured in every life after reincarnation.

And Ah Xie, who was only short of the last day of cultivation to become an immortal, exhausted all his immortal skills to keep Wu Nian away on the day when Wu Nian was taken away, and finally went berserk, and his fragrance disappeared.

Ah Xie crossed the ghost gate, walked on Huangquan Road, and stepped on Naihe Bridge. There was an old woman in the pavilion who insisted on him drinking soup.

He looked at the bowl of soup, feeling infinitely sad. It turned out that the broken bowl of the one-year-old Chou Zhou represented the bowl of Mengpo soup that made him forget this life.

Ah Xie can't forget Wu Nian, he still has to see him and grow old with him.

So he was determined not to drink.Granny Ren Meng earnestly persuaded her, but she refused to waver in the slightest.

When Po Meng saw this, she couldn't bear it: "Silly boy, if you don't drink this soup, you won't be able to enter the underworld, you won't be able to reincarnate, you won't be able to reincarnate, let alone you can't cultivate immortality, you can't even become a human being!"

Ah Xie just refused paranoidly: "Mother-in-law don't need to persuade me any more, for the sake of my brother, I will absolutely refuse."

Granny Meng just shook her head helplessly, feeling a little pity in her heart: "Forget it, if you don't drink, you have to throw yourself into the Wangchuan River under the Naihe Bridge and be a lonely ghost for thousands of years. Are you willing?"

Ah Xie nodded, and two lines of tears ran across this pretty face: "For my brother, even if there is a catastrophe, Ah Xie will not hesitate."

From then on, Ah Xie jumped into the Wangchuan River, suffered all the flooding and burning in the evil water and the wind, ups and downs for 1000 years, and did all the lonely ghosts. A mole of bitterness.

He searched the world for another 1000 years, but he did not find Wu Nian.

Later, when he returned to his home 2000 years ago, there was no trace of Xianfeng Mansion, only a temple stood there.

Ah Xie walked into the temple, and there was no trace of the past at all where the blue lamp ancient Buddha fell.

"Ah Xie, you are finally here." The Buddha statue actually said something.

He looked up in surprise: "You recognize me?"

A deep voice sounded from the empty temple: "Of course I know, I have been waiting for you for 2000 years in place of your parents."

It turned out that since hearing that Ah Xie was sent to hell to save Wu Nian, parents demolished the mansion and built this temple.The master and wife, who had dealt with Qian for most of their lives, stopped doing business since then, and shaved off their monk's robes to save him, and spent the rest of their lives like this.

Ah Xie shed tears silently.

Presumably, being able to smuggle into the world after wandering in the Wangchuan River for thousands of years is due to the dedication of the parents.He had no choice but to burn paper money and burn incense for his parents.

"Do you still remember the person you gave everything for him back then?" Buddha asked.

"Of course I remember," Ah Xie said, "Does the Buddha know where he has been all these years?"

"After you died that year, your heart ached without thinking, and you didn't want to drink that Meng Po soup." The Buddha said.

"Is that really the case?" Ah Xie smiled through his tears, the bitterness and tears of 2000 years, as long as Wu Nian still remembered him, it was all worth it.

Buddha said: "Some people in the fairy world couldn't bear him to be a ghost, so they secretly extradited him to the passage connecting all walks of life to hide, and his soul wandered there for 2000 years."

"Amitabha," Ah Xie knelt down, "Buddha blesses you, Ah Xie asks to see him."

"Thinking of your sincerity in 2000 is a lesson, I would like to let you reunite with him. He is waiting at the end of the passage. You are now a demon, and you have to take a deceased mortal to cross the passage together, so that you can meet Wunian at the end and work together Step into the world as a mortal body."

Ah Xie was full of excitement, and he kowtowed three times: "Thank you Buddha!"

"Although you are a demon, you have a pure heart. You don't need to be called Ah Xie anymore, just take a dharma name and use it on the road." Buddha said.

"Ah Xie is stupid, please give me a name from the Buddha." Ah Xie said respectfully.

"Love parting, resentment meeting, letting go and returning home, all of them have no category, but they are full of empty flowers, an illusion. But you would like to live in that fantasy dream. You are born fresh and handsome, you might as well call it an empty flower."

The author has something to say:

One is a poor boy who died young, and the other is a big devil who is full of evil spirits but has a pure heart.

They will work together to experience six worlds, snowy land, rocky land, seabed, cloud top, forest, and the last one is the human world.

These worlds are called "barren".
