Journey to the East: Legend of Peony

The red leaves are in the middle.

Mudan couldn't accept the facts that the fairy said, and shook her head desperately, "I don't want the Peony fairy in the sky, I just want to be with my parents and brothers, I don't want to see Liner Yuning and the others again, I'm already engaged, I can't let Qin down." Lang, I don't want to abandon everything to practice."

The fairy girl looked at Mudan pitifully, "Peony, this is the way you were destined for. Human beings can't compete with the sky after all. If you don't practice immortality, those monsters will eat you up as soon as you leave the Red Leaf Residence. Your parents are different. When a white-haired person gives a black-haired person, isn’t your handkerchief the same as losing a friend?”

"No, don't, Xianchang, is there really no other way to go?" Mudan begged with tears in her eyes.Xiangu turned her head away, she couldn't bear to see Peony sad.

There were voices at the door, and Cao Guojiu hurried over, "Xiangu, Miss Bai's mother is here, and she brought a lot of things, let them come in?" Xiangu frowned, "Just in case, Hongye Ju’s seal cannot be opened, please let them go back.”

At some point, Mudan stopped her tears, she looked up at Xiangu, "Is my mother here? Can you, let me see my mother?" Xiangu refused hard-heartedly, "Peony, I'm sorry, it's not that I won't give it to you. Look, I'm really afraid that the monster will riot after seeing you and accidentally hurt your mother." Outside the door, Uncle Cao went back and forth, wondering if "Xiangu, Miss Peony's mother refuses to leave, or you can go out and have a look." .”

Xiangu sighed, "Poor parents in the world," she got up and walked out. Peony looked in Xiangu's direction, thinking of Lin's voice and smile, and couldn't help crying.

A warm voice suddenly came from her ear, "Miss Bai, don't cry, don't worry, your mother is fine." Mudan suddenly felt very relieved, and when she looked back, a figure dressed in white stepped into the door hurriedly, It was Lu Dongbin.The sun shone warmly into the inner room, and between the interlaced light and shadow, Peony vaguely felt that a long, long time ago, she was also like this, sitting here every day, waiting for the figure in white to appear, raising her head, she unconsciously called out , "Dong Bin, are you back?"

In Lu Dongbin's eyes, Peony, who looked exactly the same as his previous life, smiled with tears in his eyes. When he called him, his heart felt as if he had been hit hard. He walked quickly to Mudan's side, forgetting for a moment that the memory of Peony in this life had been sealed. Putting an arm around Peony's shoulders, "Peony, what's wrong?"

At the door, Lan Caihe broke in, saw this scene, and quickly turned around, "Why do I always encounter this kind of thing every time I come to look for Dongbin?"

The charming atmosphere in the room was gone, and Peony stood up hastily, "What happened just now? Why do I feel that this stranger should put his arms around me?",

Lu Dongbin looked at the now empty arm that had hugged Mudan, thoughtfully, "Caihe, what do you need from me?"

Lan Caihe said without looking back, "Everyone knows that you are back, and we are waiting for you to discuss in the lobby."

Lu Dongbin nodded, "I see, I'll go with Miss Bai in a while." Lan Caihe muttered as he walked, "I won't come to call you in the future, every time I meet you making out with Peony, it's good luck There is no one else." The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Mudan was stunned, "I and Lu Dongbin, every time, make out?"

Lu Dongbin looked at Mudan with complicated eyes. This is his peony, but he doesn't remember his peony at all. "Miss Bai, my surname is Lu, and my name is Dongbin. She is one of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong."

Peony nodded lightly, "I've met Lu Shangxian, the little girl is being polite." Mudan suddenly remembered what the fairy said just now, and looked at Dongbin with a full face, "Shangxian, just now the fairy said that I can only leave my family and friends. Cultivation, is there really no other way?"

Dong Bin nodded, "Miss Bai, I'm sorry, I came here just for this matter. After you passed out, I went to the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the Purple Bamboo Forest. Immortal bones, it only takes ten years to rejoin the immortal class, and after you become an immortal, you will not be threatened by demons, and you can also visit your parents and family in this life."

Peony bit her lip, "Ten years?"

Lu Dongbin nodded, "Ten years is the fastest time, and immortals have different paths. To become an immortal, you must first cut off the secular relationship."

Mudan lost her voice and said, "Shangxian wants me to divorce Qin Lang? And I won't be able to see my family again for ten years."

Lu Dongbin stood up, took a few steps towards the door, and looked at the peony flowers blooming outside the house because peony lived here, "Immortals can't be emotional, Sifan is against the rules of heaven. In your previous life, it was because of Sifan that you were knocked down from the mortal world." , you must not repeat the same mistakes in this life.”

Peony was struck by lightning, "You lied, what did you say that immortals can't be emotional, what did you do to me just now? You clearly hugged me to comfort me, this is called "can't be emotional?"

Dong Bin blushed all of a sudden, showing embarrassment, and cleared his throat, "Miss Bai, I just saw you sad, and I'm in a hurry, so please forgive me."

Mudan had to be reasonable and unforgiving, "No, just now that fairy elder said that every time he comes, he can see me and you..." In the end, the girl in the boudoir couldn't say the word "intimacy", and her face turned red first.

On the contrary, Lu Dongbin didn't try to defend himself, he looked at Peony, as if looking at someone through her, and said slowly, "I'm sorry for you, Miss Bai, please believe me, it's really the only way out for you to cultivate immortality. Good for you, good for your family."

When Lu Dongbin brought Peony to the hall, the Seven Immortals had been waiting for a long time.Peony looked at Tieguai Li Hanxiangzi Cao Guoshu in amazement, these immortals who had only seen them in pictures, felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in the haze.She hesitated and asked, "Have I met the immortals before? I mean, my previous life."

This is the first time that Seven Immortals has formally met Peony in this life (Taibaiju just glanced at him that time, and even took the curtain away, so it doesn’t count). The feeling at first sight is very different from the white peony in the previous life. Growing up in a brothel, she has a pungent personality, but Peony Fairy is gentle and affectionate. Although they are both soft and strong, they are not as soft as water like the white peony in front of me. She is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family in Suzhou and she is well-bred.

The Seven Immortals were a little uncomfortable with such a gentle Bai Mudan. Han Zhongli said hesitantly, "We did know you in the previous life, er, no, we were very familiar. Uh, no, we knew each other." Peony suddenly Laughed, "Are you familiar with it or not?" As expected, the Peony Fairy, once known as the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Court, even the Seven Immortals were fascinated by her smile, Lan Caihe said without hesitation, " Dong Bin likes you, and Xiangu is your sister, we all know you." As soon as he said it, he knew something bad, and quickly hid behind Zhang Guolao, "Don't look at me, don't look at me, I didn't say anything."

Mudan didn't expect to hear this kind of answer. She turned her head and glanced at Dong Bin. Dong Bin remained motionless and sat firmly like a mountain. She gritted her silver teeth, "Lu Shangxian, you lied to me, didn't you? What is it to say that immortals cannot be emotional?"

Tieguai Li gave Lan Caihe a reproachful look, "Peony, no, Miss Bai, don't listen to Caihe's nonsense, it's a rule of heaven that immortals can't be emotional, it's not Dongbin who lied to you, and you will know it when you become an immortal .

Peony said coldly, "What if I don't want to become a fairy?"

Lu Dongbin said lightly, "Then you can try to get out of here and see what the consequences will be? Or you can go to the door to see how many monsters and ghosts want to eat your flesh, and you will have endless nightmares at night."

Peony's face turned pale, and she was about to cry, "Are you forcing me to divorce?" Lu Dongbin hardened his heart, ignoring the little joy in his heart, and said firmly, "I didn't force you. To abide by the rules of heaven, think for yourself."

Xiangu stepped forward, "Peony, I am He Xiangu, you can call me Xiangu, you and I were sisters in the previous life. Everything Dong Bin said is true, please think carefully about it."

Mudan suddenly remembered something, her expression darkened, "Xianggu, where is my mother?"

Fairy took Mudan's hand, "Your mother is fine, I let her go back for her own good. After you go to cultivate immortals, if you are in the immortal class and you will meet again, don't worry too much."

After all, Mudan was brought up as a man since she was a child, and she quickly made a decision, "I can go to cultivate immortality with the Bodhisattva. But before I go, can I ask you to let me meet my parents, brother, and Qin Lang for the last time, I've come to break it myself."

Lu Dongbin felt sorry for Mudan, and said, "You go to practice, I will help you take care of these mundane affairs." Mudan gritted her teeth and looked at Dongbin, "I have already followed your request to cultivate immortals, why can't you satisfy me? One last wish?"

Before Dong Bin could talk, Han Xiangzi pressed his shoulder, "Dong Bin, let Miss Bai go, these things should be done by herself to cut off the fate, isn't that how you and I come here. "

Lu Dongbin hesitated, "Even so, Mudan is not as dedicated as we are. I'm a little worried about her."

Xiangzi held Lu Dongbin's hand, "The road is made by myself, after all, you can't walk all the roads for her, let her go. If you are not at ease, just follow along."

Peony obtained the consent of the Eight Immortals, and was accompanied by Lu Dongbin to step out of the Red Leaf Residence. When she stepped out of the Hongye Residence, she saw the overwhelming demonic aura coming towards her. The Seven Immortals shouted, "Demons dare to hurt people." The monsters fight together to cover Peony to leave.

Mudan gave up completely at this time, she looked at Dongbin sadly, "Lu Shangxian, please take me to the Bai family in Taipingfang, I want to say goodbye to my mother and my brother." Having arrived at the entrance of the white house, the butler at the door saw Mudan, his eyes turned red, "Miss, you are finally back, I will report to Madam immediately."

Mudan stopped the housekeeper casually, "Let me go, I have a lot to say to my mother." Lu Dongbin frowned, "Miss Bai, to make a long story short, you don't have much time."

Peony stopped and stared at Lu Dongbin with her beautiful eyes, "Lu Shangxian, this is the first and last time I beg you, can you let me say goodbye to my mother?" Dongbin turned his head uncomfortably. He wanted to hug Peony and hug her to comfort her, but in the end he just held the fan tightly, "Hurry up, I'll make a barrier to help you delay for a while."

Mudan held her head high and strode into the front hall. When Lin saw Mudan, she was overjoyed, "Peony, can you come back? Are you okay?" Mudan faced Lin, and couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore. Knelt down with a sound. "Mother, Peony is not filial, daughter, fell in love with Lu Shangxian, and is willing to be with him all over the world, please do it."

Just after sealing the enchantment, Lu Dongbin, who approached the front hall of the Bai family, couldn't help being stunned. When in this life did Mudan fall in love with him enough to want to elope?Lin was furious, "Peony, do you know what you're talking about? Where do you put Peng'er?" Mudan choked up and said, "The love of love is everywhere, and we should follow each other. Brother Qin, it's me, I am the one who is sorry for him, so just pretend you never gave birth to my daughter."

Lin's complexion was pale, and when she saw Lu Dongbin suddenly, she yelled at Dongbin angrily, "Master Lu, Lu Shangxian, is this how you take care of our peony? I knew that nothing good will happen to peony when she meets you. I met you for the first time when I was five years old, and my personality completely changed when I came back. Now I meet you again and tell me that I want to elope. I met Lu Shangxian, and my personality changed a lot, what are you talking about, mother, why do I not remember at all?" Lin didn't want to say more, "Peony, have you thought it through?"

Peony was crying with tears all over her face, but she raised her head firmly and said, "Mother, I've made up my mind. I won't be by your side in the future. Your elder brother should take care of you. My brother has a distasteful personality. Mother, you have to train him more." Mrs. Lin She couldn't help crying, "Peony, you're digging my heart out," Peony knocked her head three times, pulled Dongbin away, and Lin's heart-piercing cry came from behind her, Dong Bin shook his head, "Peony, no, Miss Bai, why bother to say that you were threatened by a demon because of the immortal bone, and that's all you need to do."

Peony tried her best to hold back her tears, "Because the demon threatened to cultivate immortals? Then, let my parents worry about me, and I will not be happy for the rest of my life. This is the best, and it will be settled. If I have the chance to come back ten years later, my parents will see me. It's an extra surprise, if I don't come back ten years later, my parents will only think that I will go away with you, and they will never worry about my safety." Dong Bin sighed, "But is this good for yourself?" Peony Finally couldn't hold back the tears welling up in his eyes, and wept on Dong Bin's shoulder, Dong Bin hugged her silently, patted her on the back, and comforted Mudan clumsily, "Miss Bai, don't cry, ten years will be soon, in ten years' time With your qualifications, you will be able to see your family again soon."

Mudan restrained her emotions, "Lu Shangxian, please take me to another place," Dong Bin hesitated, "Miss Bai, you don't have much time." Mudan smiled softly, "Soon, I'm sorry to trouble you. I miss you You should know where I'm going." Dong Bin looked at Mudan with a complicated expression, and he had already arrived at Anguo Gong's mansion with a wave of his hand.

Qin Peng was studying hard in front of the window in the room. Peony walked over slowly, looked at Qin Peng tenderly, reached out and knocked on the door, Qin Peng saw Mudan, stood up suddenly, and was ecstatic, "Peony, why are you here?" Already?" Mudan said slowly, "Brother Qin, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Qin Peng said in amazement, "Farewell, Mudan? Where are you going?" "

Lu Dongbin stood next to him. Although he knew that Peony was lying, he couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart.Qin Peng was stunned, "Peony, what do you mean?" Peony smiled and said, "Brother Qin, I'm sorry I can't marry you, I'm sorry for you, please find another good girl." Peony suddenly remembered What, "The veil you picked up last time is mine, please return it to me." Qin Peng was completely confused, "What's going on, Mudan? The first thing I did when I came back was to divorce? What happened?" Mudan stared at Qin Peng, "Nothing happened, this time the lost Lu Shangxian rescued me, and I suddenly found that I fell in love with Lu Shangxian."

Mudan approached Dong Bin on purpose, and leaned her head on Dong Bin's shoulder. Dong Bin might as well be like Mudan, and immediately stiffened.Seeing such a situation, Qin Peng had no doubts anymore, took out the plain handkerchief from under the desk, handed it to Mudan, and finally said, "Peony, I don't want to lie to you, this poem is really not mine. written."

Peony looked sideways, and suddenly found that Dong Bin was looking at the handkerchief with a strange look, her thoughts turned sharply, and she came up with an incredible possibility. She put away the handkerchief, took Dong Bin's hand, and disappeared in front of Qin Peng. , Qin Peng was no longer in the mood to study, "Come on, I'm going to the White House, what happened?"

After Mudan left the mansion of Duke Anguo, Dong Bin took her westward with his sword and escorted her to the Purple Bamboo Forest.

The entrance to the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Dong Bin was about to bid farewell to Mudan, but Mudan suddenly said, "When did you know me in this life? Immortals can't tell lies." Dong Bin was quite embarrassed and avoided answering. In front of Bin, he stared at him and asked, "Then let me ask you, is this veil a poem written by you?"

Dong Bin had no choice but to nod, "It is indeed my poem." Peony said in her heart, "As expected." "Then why didn't you say it?" Dong Bin sighed, "You have gone to cultivate immortals, and you are still staring at What am I asking this for?"

Peony raised her head and smiled slightly, "I'm just curious, why don't I remember you? If I had seen you when I was five years old." Dong Bin suddenly felt creepy, turned around and quickly flew away.Peony looked at Dong Bin's back and said softly, so I was wrong all along.

In the cold rain and the river night into Wu, Pingming sees off at Chu Shangu.

Luoyang relatives and friends are asking each other, a piece of ice is in the jade pot.

The love of parents in this life, the love of friends,

It will be her next brave strength
