Longevity: The Flawless Dream

I don't know how long it has passed, it may be very short, or it may be quite long. When Lian Wuxia woke up again, the light of the Venus could already be seen in the sky.

"Is it better now?" Yi Jian Feng Chan asked, there was inadvertent concern in Shu Leng's voice.Lian Wuxia stared blankly at him with his eyes open, and after a while, he suddenly returned to his senses and sat up quickly: "I actually fell asleep while meditating."

Dozing off during meditation to the point of drowsiness, she would not have made such a low-level mistake when she was very young, but she can still make it again when she grows up, which shows that she has been very slack in her practice recently.Just as she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of her hair loosening at some point from the corner of her eye, and it was loosely draped over her shoulders, and she hurriedly held it with her hands.Combing her hair with her fingertips, she touched a string of warm and hard objects inside, but it was the purple glazed beads she had worn by her ear since she was a child.Lian Wuxia immediately turned her back, weaved the beads into her hair, and then quickly combed her hair.In my impression, Lian Emei always likes to cover this string of glazed beads with her hair when combing her hair. Over the years, she has formed the inertial thinking that every time she combs her hair, she must weave this string of beads into her hair.

"You don't remember?" Feng Chan said with a sword behind him, with a rather surprised tone.Lian Wuxia had tied up her long hair, and she couldn't help but looked over when she heard the words, and saw a trace of doubt on his face: "You didn't fall asleep, but passed out."

Lian Wuxia slightly opened his eyes.

Yijian Fengchan recounted what happened just now in detail, Lian Wuxia listened to it, lowered his head and thought about it for a while, but found that the memory of what he mentioned was only blank in his mind.

Yijian Fengchan said that at that time, she seemed to be a different person than usual.There's no need for him to lie to her, even though it sounds ridiculous, it must have happened.But if this matter really happened, why did she have no impression of it as the person involved?It was as if there was an invisible but powerful hand in the dark, silently erasing many crucial memories when she was completely unaware.

Staring blankly at the quietly burning fire not far away, her body couldn't restrain the chills.Is it really just the first time such a subtle forgetting happened?

"Don't force yourself if you can't remember it." Yijian Fengchan's voice dispelled the coldness all over his body, and he realized that he had unknowingly stepped into a narrow place, and his always clear Taoist heart was also a little shaky, practicing Wuxia Only then did he forcefully stop the thought just now.The atmosphere between the two was a little erratic for a while.Lian Wuxia couldn't restrain his mind from wandering, but he didn't know what he was thinking at all. Yijian Fengchan was thoughtful, but he couldn't catch the line of inspiration wandering in his mind.Fortunately, the faint flames and noisy voices in the distance diverted the attention of the two of them. The direction of the sound should be from a nearby village.

Lian Wuxia looked at Yijian Fengchan suspiciously. The latter calculated the date and suddenly realized: "Today is the 23rd of the first lunar month. No wonder people don't sleep well at night and come out to mess around."

The 23rd of the first lunar month... should be the Liaoxin Festival in the northern region.Lian Wuxia thought for a while before she understood.She has entered the Taoist sect since she can remember, and she can remember the birthdays of the Jade Emperor, Laojun and other gods clearly, but it takes a while to react to some festival customs in the secular world.It's not ignorance, it's just because it's too far away from her own life, so it's inevitable that she's not familiar with it—even the Mid-Autumn Festival, a well-known festival, she could have ignored it without Jin Zhanzhan's reminder, let alone the customs of a remote place like Liaochan Festival What about holidays?

After figuring this out, Lian Wuxia lost interest, but as the noise grew louder, the two clearly heard that it was not the noise of a festive gathering, but screams of fear, obviously something happened.Lian Wuxia frowned, and Qingya wanted to go over to check, walked a few steps, realized that he had neglected the people behind him, then turned his head and looked at Yijian Fengchan quietly, with a slight questioning intent in his eyes.

An upright disciple from a famous family is synonymous with trouble!Yijian Feng Chan snorted lightly, moved his footsteps, and finally followed.

This was supposed to be a prosperous and peaceful village, with peppers and dried meat hanging from every household, colorful door gods and New Year pictures posted everywhere.At this moment, however, there are flames everywhere, and the terrified women are holding their children and supporting the elderly, hiding under the protection of young and strong men holding sticks and farm tools.Several teams of burly men chased and slashed at them with fierce eyes. Yijian Fengchan noticed that those big men had a yellow fox pattern embroidered on their backs, which was the mark of the northern bandit "Sand Fox".

"It's the New Year's Eve, you can run into dirt dogs robbing you wherever you go, it's a disappointment!" He was about to complain to Lian Wuxia, but when he turned his head, there was nothing around him.Turning his gaze back again, he saw that Qing Ya ran himself into a flash of snow-colored lightning, Lian Wuxia's purple clothes rustled on his back, plum branches vibrated, green, white and red plum blossoms danced wildly, and there was a gust of wind and rain.However, this "rain" is not gentle at all, each one carries a fierce vigor, and when it is hit on the body, the big guys only feel the blunt sound of bones breaking, and they can't tell whether it is numbness or numbness It swept through the whole body in an instant, and in a short while most of them fell down.The villagers who had been dodging at first rushed forward when they saw this, and tied up the big men in an orderly manner, obviously well-trained on weekdays.

After the villagers finished cleaning up the robbers, they knew that Lian Wuxia had saved them, so they straightened their appearances and were about to thank them. Suddenly, a blue-faced swordsman appeared out of thin air with a "whoosh" and threw the two people who were tied like rice dumplings to the ground.It turned out that when Yijian Fengchan saw the situation below, he immediately judged that the bandit leader should still be hiding nearby. After a little searching, he was indeed kidnapped in the woods on a nearby hill, and he happened to live and die with his bandit sons and grandchildren.It's a rare thing that he did a good deed, but it's a pity that he appeared too tough, his clothes were too wild, and he was nine times more ruthless than a bandit. Not only was he not surrounded by grateful eyes, but he was frightened to surround him The villagers dodged a lot with a bang.

Feng Chan with a sword: ... I really don't have the talent to do good deeds!

Just when someone's black air was rising, an old voice approached tremblingly with a cough, the crowd quickly parted a way, and tremblingly helped out a white-haired old man: "What are you running! These two are Li San'er, please come and help us, the heroes of the rivers and lakes!"

"So it's like this, it's strange, the heroes are here, where is Li San'er?"

"Needless to say, those gangsters might kill them at any time. The hero is fast, so he rushed over to save people first. As for San Gouzi, wouldn't it be enough if he ran slowly behind? "

"Oh!" The villagers suddenly realized, and their simple and honest faces were filled with smiles.When Lian Wuxia and Yijian Fengchan heard the words, how could they not understand that they had admitted the wrong person, and just about to explain, the old man stepped forward and said: "Half a month ago, the sand fox wanted to exchange a sick horse for a healthy mule in the village, but the villagers refused. Let’s just say that our village will be robbed in a month’s time. The big guys are discussing how to deal with those bandits these days. If Li San’er hadn’t traveled all over the world and had a lot of experience, and came up with an idea to invite two heroes to come over, the whole village would not be able to survive this. It's been a year. Please be respected by us!"

"You have admitted the wrong person." Lian Wuxia's true energy turned slightly, and the villagers could no longer kneel down after half of their worship. When they looked up and saw that the clouds and mist in the sky had gathered into strange patterns and shone with a faint light, they all gathered together Qi exclaimed: "This is a miracle! I saw so many plum blossoms flying in the air just now! It must be a living Bodhisattva who appeared!"

Yijian Fengchan laughed: "Stop writing, they don't know how to read."

Lian Wuxia: ...I can't speak so I rely on writing. Is it difficult for you to explain?

Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly conveyed the meaning in her heart.Yijian Fengchan spread his hands pretending to be wronged: "I, an evil person, was not angry when I was said to be a god and Buddha who saves the suffering, what? You, a cultivator, are so depressed that you are regarded as a Buddhist by these blind people? "

Lian Wuxia turned his face to the side, and really didn't want to talk to him.

The two were embraced by enthusiastic villagers to their seats.Because of the "miracle" that was inadvertently revealed just now, the eyes of the villagers are all admired and pious.Most people in the Northern Territory worship Buddhism, and the rest believe in Shamanism. People of insight may have heard of the existence of Taoism, one of the three religions. Ordinary people have never heard of it—in fact, even if they believe in it Apart from chanting Buddha's prayers and making offerings devoutly, how deep do ordinary people understand Buddhism?Therefore, Lian Wuxia, a Taoist nun who couldn't be more authentic, was stubbornly labeled as a living Bodhisattva by the simple villagers, and could only feel depressed at the table full of food.

Want to eat vegetables?The whole table is full of greasy meat.In advance, Lian Wuxia had repeatedly stated that she was a vegetarian and did not want the villagers to kill, but she couldn't say it out, and the villagers were illiterate, so they had to rely on Yijian Fengchan to convey it. As a result, Yijian Fengchan was translated as "she doesn't like Eat freshly slaughtered meat!" The villagers understood: "Freshly slaughtered meat is fresher, but if the benefactor doesn't like it, everyone still has the New Year's goods prepared earlier at home. It's cold, and it's all frozen. If the ice is removed, it will be no worse than freshly slaughtered ones!"

So... Lian Wuxia looked at the fat and tender chicken on the table, the steamed pig's head, the big pieces of steaming lamb, the red and white, multi-layered pork... The villagers scoured After clearing the storage of each family, I enthusiastically served the food I thought was the most delicious to the life-saving living Bodhisattva. It was all real meat, and I ensured that there would be no stars in the green vegetables.

Want to eat fruit?The climate in the northern region is cold and bitter. After autumn, all the vegetation except plum blossoms will die. It's too much for the host's face.

Want some tea?Not even white water!The villagers thought that it was the greatest insult to them to let the distinguished guests drink boiled water to soak the leaves of the tree, so they honestly offered their own village wine, which is not as old as the wine in the wine shop, but the taste is mellow, and it has a special flavor, isn't it?

This refreshing and honest local taste makes Lian Wuxia feel like a thorn in his back, but it is obviously suitable for Yijian Fengchan's appetite. Since he and Lian Wuxia traveled together, this is the first time he has seen such a happy meal, and immediately tore the fast meat into the salt bar Dip it and eat it.

On the side, Lian Wuxia took two mouthfuls of eight-treasure rice symbolically, and then glanced at his greasy face while eating...

I really want to flip the table.she thinks.
