Longevity: The Flawless Dream

In March of Yangchun, it is a good time for the grass to grow and the warbler to fly, but in the northwest, only the eyes are pale and yellow.Dryness is certain, and what is even more unbearable is the dust and dust that is almost everywhere. People who are a little more particular will use a large scarf to cover their heads and faces. With such strict protection, the exposed eyes are still covered. Covered with a thick layer of sand, people who come and go with bare faces, no matter whether they wear white or red when they go out, they all look like terracotta warriors and horses when they come back.

However, Gong Zirui is different.A clean face, without rouge or powder, but so delicate that no pores can be seen, with clear eyebrows, and a white halo that can only be seen in the youngest girls; clean hair, not in various coils like ordinary beauties. The hair bun, decorated with light purple ribbons, is black and straight, like a waterfall; the neat dress is not made of expensive materials, but it is tailored to fit and elegantly.

She is like a purple magnolia growing in the depths of the white clouds, quiet and elegant, which is incompatible with the desolate scene of Husha in the northwest.

Ignoring the amazed or unpredictable gazes of passers-by, Gong Zirui looked at the road map in his hand, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed.Her appearance was originally elegant and refined, but when she showed this expression, she would reveal a bit of solitary strength.

This northwest frontier was originally the hometown of her and Gong Louxue, so after such a long absence and return, things were changed and people changed, it was actually very strange.It seemed that she, a wanderer returning to her homeland, had become a real stranger.

Let's go find my sister.

She suppressed the weakness that flashed in her heart, and continued on her way along the direction indicated by the road map.Gong Louxue originally lived in the small town where Gong Zirui is now, and fell in love with Bingren Biancheng since then. In order to avoid the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, she lived in seclusion in a small oasis deep in the nearby desert.She wrote to her sister in the letter: "The daytime is hot like being in a charcoal fire, and the night is as cold as three winters of snow, but being able to stay with my beloved husband day and night, even in hell is better than Pingshan fairyland." He and I named the desert outside, 'Qingmo'."

My sister is very happy.After receiving the letter, Gong Zirui had always thought about it with satisfaction, but her perception was shaken when she reunited with Gong Louxue after crossing Qingmo.

At that time, Gong Louxue was carrying a wooden barrel to draw water from the spring in the oasis, her shoes and socks were mostly soiled by the mud on the shore, and her head and face were tightly wrapped in silk scarves like countless northwest women.It can be seen that the material of the silk scarf should be very good, even if it is no longer so white after being worn by the wind and sand, and it is exposed to the red sun at noon in the desert, it can still see a bit of its original bright texture.

Gong Zirui stood there stunned, comparing the young woman who was full of work and fireworks with the light and beautiful girl in memory, she couldn't recognize her own sister.Gong Louxue picked up the wooden barrel filled with water, and the moment she got up and turned her head, she saw the person behind her: "Sister!" She exclaimed in surprise, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the wooden barrel fell to the ground, hitting the ground with a "clang" After the sound, there was a loud splash of water.Gong Zirui saw with sharp eyes that her sister's hands, which were supposed to be soft and clean, turned out to be much rougher.

Realizing what Gong Zirui saw, Gong Louxue subconsciously hid her hands in her sleeves, the surprise in her heart dimmed for a moment, and was soon overwhelmed by the joy of the sisters' reunion: "Sister, why did you go down the mountain? Didn't the Taoist priest never allow his apprentices to leave Pingshan casually? Could it be..." Her eyes lit up, "You have already accomplished your cultivation!"

It's rare for the always gentle sister to say such a long sentence in one breath, it can be seen that she is very happy.Gong Zirui also suppressed the vague bitterness in her heart, smiled and held her younger sister's hand that was no longer as smooth as jade: "You guessed it, master allowed me to go down the mountain."

"Then our enemy..." Gong Louxue said nervously.It's not that she didn't want to ask Bingren Biancheng to help investigate the murder of the Gong family, but Gong Zirui expressed early on that she would bear the blood feud on her shoulders, and she respected her sister's wishes.Seeing the worry on her sister's face, Gong Zirui's heart warmed up, and she smiled slightly: "Fool, I'm already standing here, what do you think?" Her smile froze, and a look of bewilderment suddenly appeared in the corner of her eyes, "They They're all dead."

The life in the mountains is quiet and stable, and she can hardly feel the passage of time. Even though she knows that two Jiazi have passed in the mortal world, only when she really stepped into the mortal world can she deeply understand what it means to not wait for others.The cruelest crime can't be ruthless, no matter how vicious the robbers who bloodbathed the palace, and no matter how sinister the mastermind behind them, they are nothing more than ordinary people. It doesn't matter if they died or died, until she comes back with a heart of revenge that has not cooled down for two years When I was there, I found that the trees on their graves had grown quite robustly.

For a moment, Gong Zirui could hardly hold back her gushing killing intent, she wanted to smash these thieves to ashes, tear their descendants to pieces, and let these villains feel the "retribution" How to write words.However, she is not a villain who implicates the innocent. Her conscience and upbringing do not allow it, let alone the entrustment of her master before she left.

It is really too difficult to hold on to the Dao heart without moving!

She gritted her teeth until the blood came out, and then she forced herself to look away from the descendants of the enemy family who worshiped and swept the ancestral grave, and left as if fleeing for her life.The family feud is meaningless, and now the only thing he cares about at the foot of the mountain is his younger sister, Gong Louxue.

It was also a coincidence that Gong Zirui came, before Gong Louxue received a letter from Bianren Biancheng, saying that she would return that night.About to be reunited with her lover, and unexpectedly reunited with her sister before that, Gong Louxue was so happy that she couldn't help smiling all the time, busying herself with cooking and cooking.Bie Ren Biancheng is used to eating wine and meat, but Gong Zirui is a vegetarian, so he carefully roasted a fragrant leg of lamb for his lover, paired it with the excellent bamboo leaf green he brought back before, and fried wolfberry buds for Gong Zirui , as well as her own eight-treasure tea and snow-white steamed cakes.Not to mention delicacies from mountains and seas, but authentic local flavors.

After preparing all this, the two sisters sat down and chatted.Gong Zirui told all kinds of miraculous anecdotes about the Langji Xuanhui, Gong Louxue listened, her eyes drifted a little, and her heart drifted outside involuntarily.Gong Zirui couldn't see that her sister was distracted, so she purposely yelled loudly: "Someone is here!"

"Did he come back? I'll pick him up!" Gong Louxue immediately got up and flew out, and Gong Zirui followed, seeing her standing outside the door, tiptoeing and looking into the distance, couldn't help laughing, "Fool Little sister, are you still dreaming about being cheated?"

"Sister!" Gong Louxue's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she was about to refuse, when she saw Gong Zirui's expression froze, she said seriously: "Someone is here."

"Sister!" This time Gong Louxue was really ashamed and annoyed, but she saw Gong Zirui pointing forward: "If you don't believe me, look."

On the distant horizon, black dot-like figures are moving steadily in the boundless yellow sand.Gong Zirui saw that her younger sister's clear water pupils were instantly lit up, and the brilliance was amazing.

"He came back to see me." She sighed and said to herself, her face was shining brightly, which was the unique sad pride of a woman in love.

Bound Blade Biancheng is an ordinary swordsman at first glance.The sharp-edged and resolute face, the brown cloak covered with dust, everything looks so ordinary—except for the scabbard on his back that can't hold Han Feng's knife, and the pair of cold star-like eyes under the thick eyebrows.He walked towards home hand in hand with Gong Louxue, and saw the woman in purple standing there from a distance, the older sister in his lover's mouth.

At this time, the Bingren Biancheng, and the Tianxian Daozang in the future have set foot on this road home countless times, but this time it is firmly engraved in the memory. unwilling to forget.

On this day, on this day, the setting sun is like gold, and the wild sand is like snow.He held the hand of the one he loved, with ritual piety... Unexpectedly, he met the most important woman in his life.

In fact, Bingren Biancheng, who has a heart of literary youth, does not know that every step he takes at this moment is bathed in the eyes of Gong Zirui's examination school——

Ordinary appearance, [-] points deducted.

The clothes are plain and you don't have much wealth, so ten points are deducted.

There is not even a horse for transportation, and ten points are deducted for walking alone.

The clothes were covered with sand so that even the original color could not be seen clearly, and the hygienic habits were not good, so [-] points were deducted.

Not staying at home all year round, leaving my younger sister alone, deducting [-] points.

If you dare to let the little girl wait until the evening before walking back and forth leisurely, twenty points will be deducted.

The martial arts are not bad, plus five points.

He also knew that the younger sister walked slowly and purposely waited for her, and even helped her when she got stuck in the quicksand... Maybe five cents cheaper for him.

When the two arrived in front of Gong Zirui, the score of Bieren Biancheng had already been eliminated by her to a pitiful [-], and her position in the eyes of the aunt was precarious.It's a pity that the one who was picked and picked didn't know his dangerous situation, and smiled at Gong Zirui who met for the first time: "You are A Xue's sister? A Xue often mentions you to me."

With a straight face, Gong Zirui glanced at him coldly: "Your knife is not bad."

Poor Bian Biancheng, as a hot-blooded man in the rivers and lakes, does not know the iron law that the mother-in-law is the natural enemy of the son-in-law, and the elder sister is like a mother. Although she is famous, there is a mother's heart hidden inside. Seeing that her beloved sister is about to be snatched away by such a swordsman who is not good enough for her own little sister, it is natural to see how unpleasant he is.

Bie Ren Biancheng himself treated his sister-in-law warmly and courteously, but suffered from cold eyes and countless knives, it was a bit confusing.Fortunately, there was Gong Louxue beside her, asking about her health, and this depression soon disappeared.Gong Zirui watched coldly as the little girl poured wine for this not-so-good swordsman, picked up vegetables for a while, asked if the food and wine were suitable for her mouth, smiled happily because of a look in his eyes, and was caught by one of his adventure stories for a while. I was so scared that I burst into tears...Suddenly I felt that these two people were a natural pair, and I, who was sulking on my own but ignored by no one, became an outsider instead.

Is it because of Master's reluctance to bring the little girl to Pingshan from the very beginning?Daofan is different, even if the little girl prolongs her life and stays young because of learning the Changchun technique, she will fall in love, marry, have children, and grow old sooner or later.After having her own life, she is destined to gradually fade away from her own life.Rather than worrying about shaking the Dao heart at that time, it is better to cut off this relationship from the beginning.It's just that at the time she didn't understand the master's painstaking efforts. After so many years, she finally had to admit the fact that the younger sister no longer needed her.That's right, he was the one who pushed her away first, and he was to blame.

Madam's mind is so clear, but her heart is disturbed; her heart is so quiet, but she wants to hold her.Often able to dispel one's desires, one's mind will be at peace, one's mind will be cleared up and one's mind will be pure...

After silently reciting the Qingjing Sutra over and over again, Gong Zirui finally felt her chaotic heart calm down—but she still felt that the Bound Edge City was even more unpleasant.

She hated Bianren Biancheng so much that she gritted her teeth in disgust, but she didn't know that Bingren Biancheng had a good impression of her. After Gong Zirui left, she even said to Gong Louxue: "Your sister is worthy of being born under that legendary innate master. The beauty of manners, there are few women in today's Jianghu who can match her."

Gong Louxue was washing her hands with saponins, she froze when she heard this.She knew that her lover was unintentional, but she still couldn't help but think of her sister's hands holding chopsticks during the banquet, such crystal, soft, and white as jade hands... She always knew that her sister was born beautiful, whether it was her appearance, temperament or martial arts, she was very beautiful. Much better than her.

She looked at her hands that were no longer smooth, and the calm water surface in the basin was as bright as a mirror, reflecting her face.She suddenly discovered to her horror that there were already shallow lines in the corners of her eyes.

She clearly felt that when her sister was so young and beautiful, she was getting old.

Gong Louxue felt sore in her heart, she forced a smile and said, "My sister is a beautiful young girl, I don't believe there is a heroine who can equal her in this Jianghu."

"There are naturally many outstanding women in this world," Bie Ren Biancheng stroked her black hair, "but the most beautiful scenery in my eyes is only the indifferent snow."

Gong Louxue curled the corners of her mouth, smiling delicately, like thin snow bathed in moonlight.

The author has something to say: Who said that Gong Zixuan has always been secretly in love with Bingren Biancheng?Have you never heard that the sister-in-law and brother-in-law who claim to be mother-in-law are natural enemies?So I imagined that the way the three of them got along was like this.

Gong Zixuan: This Bianbian City has no house, no car, and no money. He is still a jobless vagrant, and dares to kidnap my kind, lovely, beautiful, gentle and virtuous sister!What?Is Lou Xue willing to back down?What kind of ecstasy soup did this quack give my sister, and leave his footprints!

Gong Louxue (uneasy): Auntie, do you have any objections to Furenbian City?Both you and Bian Ren Bian Cheng are my sister's most important people, and my sister really wants you to get along in harmony.

Gong Zixuan (sharpening the knife in his heart and trying to calm down): It's nothing, do I have any objections to him?You are mistaken.

Bound Edge City who didn't know: Xue, your sister is a nice person.

Gong Louxue: That's right, my sister is the best.

Conclusion: Ignorance is actually a kind of bliss.

Madam's mind is so clear, but her heart is disturbed; her heart is so quiet, but she wants to hold her.Often able to dispel one's desires, one's heart will be quiet, and one's mind will be cleared, and one's spirit will be clear——from "The Sutra of Chang Qing Jing said by the Supreme Lord"
