Longevity: The Flawless Dream

Su really left.

Lian Wuxia, who was standing by the side, could not see with his eyes, but his ears were still sensitive. In front of her, Jin Bazhen really couldn't force the people who had ambushed earlier to force him to stay.But in an instant, Su Zhenzhen slipped away without even a shadow left, Jin Bazhen couldn't stop him, and he couldn't hold back his identity and scold him, he was really aggrieved, he turned around and saw Lian Wuxia holding the door railing, as if listening to something , all the expressions were hidden under the white silk, and all the depression turned into a feeling of hatred for iron and steel: "Zhan Zhan has prepared his wedding clothes and drum music team. For such a life-threatening matter, you actually let him go voluntarily." !"

Lian Wuxia trembled, raised his right hand lightly, probably wanting to write something, fearing that Jin Bazhen would not be able to see clearly, he put it down hesitantly.Seeing this, Jin Bazhen sighed, "Forget it, let's sit down first and then talk." After waving his hands, the maids waiting on both sides rushed forward to help Lian Wuxia back to his seat, and laid out the paper familiarly, She stuffed the ink-soaked pen into her hand.

"If you have any ideas, write them to Aunt Zhen." Jin Bazhen said.

The slender wolf hair fumbled and left thin traces on the paper. Because they couldn't see clearly, the strokes looked weak and crooked: "I was the one who dragged Su Xianren down."

"You don't think about yourself!" Jin Bazhen couldn't hold back, and slammed the table loudly, "Ebisu has been treating you for a while, your hair has turned gray, and I don't know how much various rare medicinal materials have been used— ——This is his duty to be your sister-in-law, mere drugs, Xiao Penglai can afford it——For sister Mei and you and me and Zhanzhan, just ask me to put the "Bazhen" in my name Jin Bazhen "Take it out, boil the soup with dragon heart and phoenix tail, grind the powder with long green jade comb, chop the feet of ox hoof and silver chicken, and slaughter the red horse to take the liver for you to eat. If it can make you improve, I, Jin Bazhen, will not blink an eye." Blink. Your life is almost gone. You still have time to take care of that Su who got you to such an extent. You are married to him. Whether it is sister Mei or me, Jin Bazhen, which one can treat you badly? Killed him? He is a majestic man, what is there to be wronged!"

Unexpectedly, she would be so furious, Lian Wuxia was clearly terrified, and her normally straight back seemed to feel the master's self-ashamedness, and timidly bowed down. "But..." she wrote while still struggling, "his life has already been saved."

She already owed him her life, so where did she have the right to ask Su really to give in because she cared about her life?She really can't do this kind of act of repaying kindness with grievances and forcing others to do things that are difficult.

"Okay, okay," Jin Bazhen was able to manage a romantic business like Penglai, which is the most difficult situation, and usually has a certain majesty. This is a rare time to work hard for a junior. Apart from acknowledging her gratitude, she also accused her of making things difficult for others. How could she not be angry?Immediately she was very angry and laughed back, "Aunt Zhen has put so much effort into it, not only is it unappreciated, but she has become a villain who doesn't know what to do, huh?"

The words were so heartbreaking that Lian Wuxia's hand holding the pen trembled like a convulsion, marking a large ink stain on the snow-white paper.She shook her head hastily, and hurriedly started to write to explain, but the written words were mixed with the ink stains, but she couldn't see anything clearly.Jin Bazhen looked at her anxious appearance, and felt that it was boring to be angry with such a silly girl, so she poked the table with her finger and said, "What are you still doing? Wuxia can't see, what are you doing with eyes?" !"

The two servant girls who were overwhelmed by Jin Bazhen's anger hurriedly changed the paper, and were so frightened that they fell silent.

"It's the younger generation's fault." Lian Wuxia finally wrote out a clear apology, hesitated for a moment, and then wrote, "Aunt Zhen, I think..."

"Don't even think about it." Jin Bazhen could figure out her small thoughts with her eyes closed. She must feel that she is a blind and dumb cripple now, and staying in Xiaopenglai is just a drag, so why not find a quiet place? The place will fend for itself, and immediately deny it, "Sister Mei is currently in retreat, and I can't send you back to Pingshan for the time being. You will live with me to recuperate your body. When will Sister Mei come out to pick you up? What? It’s time for you to go out through Xiao Penglai’s gate again.”

Unexpectedly, Jin Bazhen was so stubborn, Lian Wuxia sat blankly, not knowing what to do for a while.With her dilapidated appearance, she is a burden to be with anyone, and she feels ashamed to stay with Xiao Penglai for a moment, so what face does she have to go back to Pingshan to see her mother?

Seeing her stupefied, Jin Bazhen finally sighed and softened her voice: "Wuxia, you practiced Taoism with Sister Mei since you were young, and you are more proficient in general principles than Aunt Zhen, but you are a human being after all, and you have not yet ascended to immortality. There is an old saying among mortals, 'A man does not kill himself for his own sake'...you should also think about yourself." He patted her thin shoulder, and then only heard the sound of footsteps walking away, obviously she had already gone out.

If people are not for themselves, will heaven and earth be destroyed?But if the mind is involuntary, and the body is involuntary, what should we do for ourselves?

A bitter smile appeared on Lian Wuxia's lips.

From the day she woke up, she consciously or unintentionally learned to be an ordinary person.Cleaning the house, arranging furniture, as long as her physical strength can barely keep up, she will try to do these things when she is awake.Her cultivation base has been abolished by the violent fire of the seven emotions, her meridians are scattered, her spirit is depressed, and she is also blind and speechless. It is really difficult to live alone with her own strength.But no one in the world is born with supernatural powers. Didn't she also come here when she was young?She has been a mute for so many years, isn't she already used to it?Besides, there are so many people who are born blind in the world, who would really be unable to live?

After all, she still has physical strength, martial arts moves and knowledge, so it's not a problem to deal with a few second-rate characters, and she has medical skills, so she doesn't have to worry about being unable to make a living.Although relying on internal strength and true energy for thousands of years, it is inevitable that there will be a psychological gap when you are suddenly beaten back to your original shape, but it will be fine if you get used to it slowly—at most, you will be a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

"It's not bad to be able to live the life of a mortal after falling from the peak." She said to herself from the bottom of her heart, "But..."

But what, she didn't let herself think about it anymore, feeling a little bit of strength in her sore hands and feet, she stood up with the edge of the table, tentatively walked out, and started the process of adapting to the blind life again.

As always, Jin Zhanzhan came to deliver the meal in the evening.Lian Wuxia has been a vegetarian since he was a child, and his spleen and stomach are weakened during illness, not only can't eat meat, but he should not eat too much nourishing food, for fear that it won't be able to digest it.She spent most of the afternoon cooking ginseng porridge and delivering it.The porridge was boiled with a strong fragrance, and after drinking it, I felt a soft and warm taste slipping from my throat into my stomach, and a thin layer of sweat immediately oozes from Lian Wuxia's forehead.Jin Zhanzhan, who stared at her eating porridge, asked nervously, "How does it taste?"

very good.Lian Wuxia thought that as long as it was made by Jin Zhanzhan, she would give it a "good" word, and the porridge tasted really good.In the past, the little junior sister who could roast a pheasant with charcoal style has now also practiced the skill of making soup and porridge. It can be seen that time flies, and the world has changed without knowing it.

After estimating the position of the food box, she slowly put the porridge bowl in it, listening to Jin Zhanzhan not saying a word, but her breathing was very tense, she suddenly realized that the little junior sister could not hear her own voice as usual. answer.She became dumb when she was too young. She still has her previous skills, and every thought comes out of her own voice, so she can communicate with others naturally. Now that her skills are gone, it is impossible to talk to others like before , the inconvenience and distress caused by this unspeakable defect were highlighted unprecedentedly.She wanted to write, but couldn't find a pen and paper for a while, and La Jin Zhan Zhan's hand seemed too deliberate, so she had to smile at Jin Zhan Zhan.

Jin Zhanzhan, who was staring at her closely, read out the affirmation from the elder sister, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Elder sister, you don't know, I'm good at cooking, especially soup, every time it's not out of the pot, my family That Yaoshou bone smells the smell and you can turn around greedily! Shi'er also loves to eat the dishes cooked by my mother-in-law. I still have a lot of soups that I am good at. Alas, it's a pity, Master Sister, you are a vegetarian, so I can’t make it for you to taste. Oh, senior sister, don’t laugh, my little skill is far behind yours—the three mushroom noodles you make are the best food in the world! You Remember? It was what you cooked for me when I first came to Pingshan, and now I dream about it, and I still can’t help drooling!"

In the dark night of bears roaring and tigers roaring, the girl hiding in the tree with a dirty crying face, and the little girl standing under the tree looking up.

The warm aroma of the three mushroom noodles in memory turned into white and bright water vapor in winter, and drifted between the two grown-up parties.Lian Wuxia smiled knowingly, while Jin Zhanzhan chattered a lot, feeling his mouth was dry, and immediately drank a cup of tea, and was about to continue "chatting" with the senior sister, when suddenly his eyes froze.

Lian Wuxia was still smiling at her, and this smile had been maintained since she came in.The smile is quiet, and the person is also quiet.Although this appearance is so quiet and beautiful that it seems to be able to hold the time like water, it is also too quiet and desolate.

The one-sided chatter stopped abruptly.With her head covered, she tidied up the tableware, walked out the door quickly, and almost knocked Ebisu who came to check her pulse into the air. "Oh my wife, why are you walking so fast? Anyway, it depends on the road. It's okay to hit me. If you hit the door frame or post, it hurts your body and hurts my heart!" The man whose height only reached his wife's shoulder chattered Turning forward and back, he suddenly noticed a terrible fact and exclaimed, "Wife, why are you crying!"

When he yelled, Jin Zhanzhan couldn't hold back immediately, hugged her husband in his arms, and cried loudly.Ebisu is used to seeing his own wife's brutal and rude behavior, suddenly seeing her pear blossoms with rain, she immediately felt pity and panicked: "Don't cry, don't cry, tell me something, how bad it is for your health if you spoil yourself? Tell me, if your husband can solve it, you will go through fire and water to get it for you, if your husband can't solve it, he can still be sad with you!"

He was sweating profusely from the consolation on this side, while Jin Zhanzhan on the other side just cried to himself, and finally got tired of crying after a long while, and then turned to sobs: "Senior Sister's eyes, can they still heal?"

"Oh my wife, how many times have I told you that her eyes are in good condition, and there is nothing wrong with her eyes. I can't figure out why she can't stop bleeding." Ebisu said distressed.

Jin Zhanzhan's hoarse crying voice suddenly became louder: "Who asked you this! I just asked you if her eyes are still cured? I'll make it clear today. If you can't cure me Senior sister, I will kick you out of the house tomorrow, and return Shi'er to me! By the way, before letting you leave the house, I will smash your broken signboard of "hanging pot to help the world"!"

Ebisu jumped anxiously: "My wife, can you be reasonable?"

"Reasonable?" Jin Zhanzhan put his hands on his hips, "Okay, you can let the elder sister tell me in person! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"

But your elder sister is both dumb and blind now, with three of her seven orifices closed, how could she possibly reason with you!Ebishou suddenly despaired: "For Shi'er's sake, let's make room for my husband!"

Feeling the tears streaming down again, Jin Zhanzhan quickly wiped his face, and thirteen words popped out from between his teeth in a hoarse voice: "Tongrong? Yes, it's really true that you killed Su for me!"

"...my wife, I don't want to die yet!" Ebisu knelt down for his wife who wanted to come out.

The author has something to say: Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yun Ge for his enthusiasm for catching insects, and fellow Daoist Daoist Feng Ding for picking bells for his patience in counting. In short, what Jin Zhanzhan said in the end was thirteen characters instead of eight hahahaha

To tell the truth, most of this chapter was revised from the previous manuscript, and some details were not considered at all. Daoists feel free to criticize and correct
