Longevity: The Flawless Dream

Jin Zhanzhan is getting more and more listless, she always looks full of vitality on weekdays, even if she is forced to jump up and down all day long by Lian Wuxia, she is exhausted into a puddle of mud before going to bed, and wakes up the next day At that time, he was another resounding hero.But she is indeed getting more and more wilted, looking at the moon every night and sighing, she is only ten years old, but she looks a little sad to the moon with tears in the wind.

"Seeing that the moon is getting rounder and rounder, if you are at home, Auntie will definitely celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival." When Lian Wuxia asked, Jin Zhanzhan replied in this way.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival has never been celebrated on Pingshan Mountain." Lian Wuxia looked at her for a while with eyes like snow and frost, and replied.

Lian Wuxia frowned slightly at Jin Zhanzhan's dejected look, thought for a while and wrote, "It's not impossible."

Jin Zhanzhan's eyes suddenly brightened.

Lian Wuxia was moved.Over the past few months, she has gained a good understanding of this little junior sister.Jin Zhanzhan was born rich and powerful, and his mother loves her so badly. Even if she spends her whole life as an idler with nothing to do, she can live comfortably. I don't expect her to learn much, but I just hope that she can be close to Zhu Zhechi and make her daughter behave better.Now that Jin Zhanzhan is really good at learning, he promised to make her smile in the next Mid-Autumn Festival, but Lian Wuxia, who has always been strict with her, feels sorry for being so sensible.

As long as she can remember, she has followed Emei to practice Taoism, and she has no idea what an ordinary child should look like at this age.Later, with Gong Zirui and Gong Louxue, it was natural to restrain them according to my own requirements, and I didn't think there was anything wrong.It wasn't until one more Jin Zhanzhan that Lian Wuxia vaguely realized that he was probably a little unhuman.Jin Zhanzhan can still be rescued, but what about Zirui who has grown up and Lou Xue who has fallen down the mountain?Their childhood regrets are irreparable after all.

"I've only read the records of Mid-Autumn Festival in books, and I don't know what to prepare. Junior sister has to help me." Lian Wuxia wrote.

Jin Zhanzhan patted his chest rumblingly, and said smugly, "Leave it on me!" Suddenly, he thought of something, and his blood was filled with enthusiasm as if being drenched in icy winter water, and he said dawdly, "Elder Sister, Master will Agree?" If Jin Zhanzhan's second fear in her life is Lian Wuxia, the elder sister who is in charge of her own people's livelihood, then Lian Emei, who is dignified and refined, is definitely the person she avoids the most.

Lian Wuxia looked at her until she saw her lowering her head in disappointment, and then wrote: "There is me."

Jin Zhanzhan said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is to appreciate the moon.The ten-mile futon is located on the top of Pingshan Mountain, more than a thousand feet above the clouds, and a round of bright and clear full moon is on the top of your head, so you can enjoy it as much as you want.

Jin Zhanzhan said that the Mid-Autumn Festival should worship the moon.Pingshan has its own good fruits, and with a few plates of homemade snacks, you can exchange a few piles of top-quality fruits from the spirit monkey. The sisters of the Gong family and the mother and daughter of the Jin family worshiped their fairy Aunt Chang'e.

Jin Zhanzhan said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes should be eaten and sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine should be drunk.Lian's mother and daughter don't drink, Gong Zirui follows them and Jin Zhanzhan is too young to drink.Therefore, Lian Wuxia researched mooncakes filled with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, prepared the wine list brought by Jin Bazhen for Gong Louxue and Jin Bazhen to drink, and Jin Zhanzhan was in charge of being greedy.

Jin Zhanzhan said that the Mid-Autumn Festival should be a family reunion.So Lian Emei sent a letter to call Jin Bazhen, and asked Jin Bazhen to pick up Gonglouxue along the way.Jin Bazhen not only brought palace snow and sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine, but also brought more than a dozen glazed palace lanterns, each of which was exquisitely carved, and the lights were even more colorful.The mother and daughter of the Lian family, the mother and daughter of the Jin family, and the sisters of the Gong family all sat at a table in full circle, surrounded by a circle of glazed palace lanterns, whose brilliance could compete with the bright moon above their heads.

The wind is bright and the air is clear, the moon is bright and the lights are hazy, living in such an empty world, not to mention the sentimental Gonglouxue, even the solemn and emerald expression has softened a lot.Jin Bazhen put down his wine glass and sighed: "The last time I enjoyed the moon so comfortably was when I was with Sister Mei in Xuanzong. The moon that night was really good. I would be sorry for such a beautiful moonlight if I didn't drink alcohol. It's a pity that Xuanzong lived as a monk. In a place where alcohol is prohibited..."

"What happened later?" Jin Zhanzhan asked impatiently when his mother shook her head and sighed at the crucial point.Jin Bazhen chuckled rather mysteriously: "Afterwards, I sneaked down the mountain at night to buy wine and came back. I hid in the house and drank to my heart's content. I didn't want to be discovered by Daozi who was watching the night and shouted to punish me. ..."

"And then?" Even Gong Louxue couldn't help asking.

"Then, Sister Mei had a good discussion with that Taoist." Jin Bazhen couldn't help laughing. "Master!" Mo Tan is Jin Zhanzhan, this time even Gong Zirui couldn't help but stare at Lian Emei.Who would have thought that Lian Emei, whose every move is written with the demeanor of a master of the celestial family, would have such a time to protect his shortcomings?

Seeing the disillusioned expressions on the children's faces, Jin Bazhen couldn't breathe from laughing, and Lian Emei suddenly interjected: "After the Taoist left, I made a bowl of hangover soup for Zhenmei."

In an instant, Jin Bazhen, who was still in the state of gloating about "the rare time that the sisters made a fool of themselves in front of the apprentice", almost died of anger.The mother's miserable green face naturally did not escape Jin Zhanzhan's eyes, but she didn't know why. As for the underlying reason behind Jin Bazhen's tragic expression, the sisters of the Gong family who were brought up by Lian Wuxia didn't understand.He knew well that apart from the two parties involved, only Lian Wuxia, who was "concerned" by Lian Emei's own cooking and cooking, had sympathy for him, so he calmly gave Jin Bazhen a sympathetic look.

"I used to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was at home, and Dad also liked to watch the moon and drink wine." Gong Zirui's eyes dimmed a little melancholy, and said to Gong Louxue who was smiling happily, "It's a pity that Dad doesn't drink well. As soon as he drank the cup, he got very drunk, and it was all because of the sobering soup made by Aniang for him."

Gong Louxue was still young when the Gong family was destroyed. After all these years, she has no memory of her parents.Gong Zirui also has a strong self-esteem, and she intends to shoulder her hatred on her shoulders, but she refuses to mention the past to her younger sister, which makes Gong Louxue feel really disappointed.It was rare to hear her sister talk about their parents at this moment. This snow-like girl listened attentively, with a longing and serious expression.However, Jin Zhanzhan couldn't understand how the two sisters cherished that time that sounded boring. He listened for a while with bored faces, yawned a little, and asked Lian Wuxia: "What was the situation like when the elder sister was at home?" Woolen cloth?"

Lian Wuxia was stunned for a moment when he didn't expect the topic to involve himself, let alone such a content.Her memory started from Pingshan. Before coming to Pingshan, she had never thought about the appearance of "Lian Wuxia" and the appearance of her family, and she never dared to think about it.

Jin Bazhen did not miss the flash of astonishment between Lian Emei's eyebrows. She knew that Lian Wuxia was an orphan adopted by her good sister. She heard that when she was picked up, the surrounding houses had already been burned to the ground. No one survived outside, it was extremely tragic.Jin Bazhen wanted to know that Lian Emei didn't want others to expose the scars of her adoptive daughter. After all, mothers all over the world have the same heart. "Zhan Zhan, Wu Xia is sister Mei's daughter. Her home is in Pingshan. You still don't know what she is like at home?"

It was rare for Jin Zhanzhan to catch the flaw in his mother's words, and proudly retorted: "Mother, you are wrong, the senior sister is not the biological daughter of the master, she must not have been in Pingshan before she was adopted by the master - how can anyone be?" No parents? That’s what I’m asking, senior sister, where is your home? How many people? What do you do?”

Lian Wuxia was stunned by the barrage of questions, but he just shook his head with a slightly melancholy face: "A cultivator should concentrate on comprehending the way of heaven and earth, leave the family and leave the world, and give up thinking about vulgarity. What happened in the past is meaningless." .”

Jin Zhanzhan listened half-understood, but in the end he still couldn't understand, and said in disbelief, "How can that be done? Since a person is born into this world, he has a father and a mother. How can he just look at the road ahead?" , but no matter where you come from. Has the elder sister really never thought about it?"

For a moment, Lian Wuxia was struck by lightning.

Have you thought about it?Have you really not thought about it?she asked herself.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intention, what Jin Zhan and Tong Yan Wuji said directly hit Lian Wuxia's deepest hidden fear.

She has grown from a blank sheet of paper to the present, and she is only focused on cultivating immortals and Taoism, so as to live up to the expectations of practicing Emei, to be a well-deserved heir to the mantle, and to be able to follow her mother-in-law to ascend to Xiaju.But she has always subconsciously ignored a question, where did she come from before becoming the adopted daughter of Lian Emei?

The younger junior sister's biological father died young, but she was loved by Aunt Zhen; the second junior junior sister suffered a tragic disaster, but she could still depend on her younger sister for life—what about her?Born between heaven and earth, endowed with yin and yang and five elements, and raised by her father and mother, she naturally couldn't have jumped out of a crack in the rock. She should have parents, even brothers and sisters, but where did they go?Is she alive or... She is such a waste who can't even remember her own name, and she can't even remember the names, voices and smiles of her family members!

"I don't even remember." Lian Wuxia wrote, his slightly pale complexion blurred behind the erratic brilliance of the glazed palace lantern.

Don't remember, don't you even have a trace of curiosity?Jin Zhanzhan couldn't understand the elder sister's indifferent attitude towards his own life experience, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jin Bazhen: "Zhan Zhan, Wuxia was still young when she was adopted by sister Mei, it's normal not to remember the past, you Do you still remember that when you were three years old, you had to eat crispy cheese, and the nanny couldn't roll on the ground if you didn't give it?"

Jin Zhan smiled awkwardly.Gong Zirui also laughed, after a few months, she was used to the aura of her little junior sister who would act foolishly whenever she felt dissatisfied, but unfortunately when she met Lian Wuxia, she was like ordering tofu in brine—everything goes down one thing, It can be seen that it is destined.Because of unconsciously imitating Emei, the expression of smiling is quite rare on her body, Gong Louxue was curious when she saw this, Gong Zirui whispered something to her, she glanced at Jin Zhanzhan, I can't help but laugh.

The intimate scene of the sisters fell on Lian Wuxia's eyes, and the gloom grew even heavier.She has been working hard to do Lian Wuxia well, but no amount of hard work can conceal the fact, that is how lonely and desolate she is as a leaf of floating duckweed without roots.

She should want to cry, but the turbulent undercurrent seems to be imprisoned in an unbreakable hood, even though it roars wildly, it can't get out of the storm.The memory is gone, and even the ability to feel happy, angry, sad, and happy is also lost.Dao Shang is natural, is she still a complete person with such a disability?

She thought about it layer by layer, and she got a little obsessed with it.Unknowingly, the fire entrenched in the depths of the nightmare silently surrounded her, but she didn't realize it. She just wondered, where did I come from?

"Wuxia, Wuxia." Lian Emei called twice, Lian Wuxia came back to his senses in a daze, but saw half of the food on the table, Jin's mother, daughter and Gong's sisters had left the table to rest at some point .She got up belatedly, and wanted to leave blushingly, but was stopped by Lian Emei.Jin Bazhen and others couldn't see the strangeness of Lian Wuxia, how could Lian Emei not see it?What's more, the glazed beads hidden in Lian Wuxia's hair have been exuding a turbulent aura just now. Although it was tightly contained by the seal and was not noticed by Jin Bazhen, who is still inexperienced, it did not escape Lian Emei's eyes.

Taking a deep look at the righteous girl's pale but quiet and well-behaved face, Lian Emei said: "Come with me." Follow quickly.After catching up with Lian Emei, the latter was already sitting on the futon, staring at a box in his palm for a while. "You wore this next to your body when I picked you up." Seeing Lian Wuxia coming in lightly, sitting down on the small futon beside him, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes that could speak, Lian Emei finally Swiping away the last trace of hesitation in my heart, I handed the box over.

Lian Wuxia's heart trembled, and he forced himself to open it calmly. What he saw was a long-lived lock. The texture of sapphire was a little cloudy. It was obviously a very common jade material. Blessings.This is an auspicious item that can be bought casually in shops in the streets and alleys. It has a certain price, but it is not considered expensive.Ordinary people save some spare money, and out of the intention of caring for their children, they will buy a piece and put it on as a baby, hoping to use this tangible thing to lock up the intangible blessing. I don't even bother to look at it.

Lian Wuxia caressed the not-so-delicate lock face, as if he was touching the years of family reunion that did not exist in his memory and were expected by his parents.Seeing this, Lian Emei felt sad, and sighed, "Come on, I'll put it on for you."

Lian Wuxia leaned over as if waking up from a dream.Lian Emei picked up the longevity lock, hundreds of years had passed, the silk rope that was originally worn on it had long since decayed and could no longer be used, so she personally brought five-color silk thread, twisted it into five-color strands to ward off evil spirits and put it on, and then put it on in Lian Wuxia. While staring eagerly, he put his hands on her neck.Lian Wuxia touched the longevity lock hanging on his chest with some novelty, blinked, and hugged Lian Emei's arm.

After practicing Wuxia's self-cultivation with a little success, Lian Emei hadn't seen her showing such a naive look for many years, and now there was a slight smile in his eyes: "Want to stay and sleep next to me?"

Practice flawless nodding.

With a flick of the robe sleeves, all the lamps and candles on the four walls were extinguished.Lian Emei's eyes were slightly closed, and she fell into a state of sitting and forgetting like countless days and nights, but the swept-up sleeves fluttered down gently, covering Lian Wuxia inside.The little girl lay on her lap, as if she had finally found a safe and comfortable place under the cover of the wide sleeves, and fell asleep quietly.

Lian Wuxia had many dreams when she was very young, but she kept repeating the nightmare of burning fire, and never dreamed of her relatives.Most likely because she felt that she was unfilial, that she was unable to avenge her parents, and even forgot their faces and names, that's why she didn't want to see her in dreams for many years in a hurry.Later, her xinxing cultivation base gradually deepened, and she rarely dreamed, and naturally it was even more impossible to dream of them.However, this night, she unexpectedly had a dream other than a nightmare.In the dream, a man kindly put her on his lap and fed her fruit.And in the dimly lit place in the distance, there is a shadow of rouge, vaguely the woman's cool and soft gaze.

father, mother...

The author has something to say: Lian Wuxia subconsciously cares about her own origins, so let her reunite with her family in her dream on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival—the author is really her mother~

In addition, the little Living Buddha is really cute!Every time I see that Q-like face, I want to pinch it!And that pointed hat, I really want to take it off to see if he is bald!
