Chang'an India

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is unique, Lize is full of smoke and waves, and fishermen sing late. There is a small town called "Wandang" [-] miles away from the lake. The name expresses the fullness of the water in the land of fish and rice, and the gentle murmuring.

There are hundreds of households in Wandang Town, and the smoke is everywhere, and the food is fragrant.How could it be seen that this peaceful scenery is peaceful? 26 years ago, there was a raging wave in Lize Lake that rolled out for more than [-] miles, washing away the surrounding villages and towns.

Every family has a place to eat, but the pharmacy in the town can't be idle. There is only one person in the pharmacy hall.

"I said, you miser, after so many years, why are you reluctant to hire another person?"

Before the people arrived, the laughter came first, and I saw an old monk crossing the threshold of the medicine shop, standing at the door and performing a Buddhist ceremony with a smile.

"Old Xia, wait until I finish grabbing this medicine." The owner of the pharmacy thought he knew the person very well, so he didn't exchange greetings with Xia Chunqiu, and was busy with the work at hand without raising his head.

"Miaomiao was brought up by us. Although she loves money, she never cares about medicinal materials." The old man who was waiting to pick up the medicine chuckled, and then continued, "Master, I think you look familiar. "

"I sometimes come to Boss Wu to catch up on old times, and this benefactor may have met me before."

"Okay, stop chatting, and give me the money." The owner of the pharmacy is not named Miaomiao, but Wu Miaomiao. He looks like he is over 30, but he doesn't have the courtesy of respecting the elderly. If you don't have a good mood, "How many times have I told you? You can't get cold water on your legs, you can't get cold water, you are so old, why can't you listen to a word?"

"Yo, our Miaomiao is angry, we have been so ignorant since we were young."

The old man took the medicine and left with a smile. Boss Wu thought he didn't intend to do business any more, so he went halfway down the shop door and poured a cup of cold tea for the visiting acquaintance, but he no longer called him Lao Xia, but Changed the address and said: "Little friend, are you here all right?"

"Since you call me a friend, you should give me a cup of hot tea, right?" Xia Chunqiu shook his head helplessly while holding the teacup without a trace of heat, "You have to save even some money for tea. It's really boring."

"My wife is so pretty and my daughter is so cute. It's interesting to be a human being," Boss Wu said eloquently. "Besides, I don't want to be frugal. When I leave, what will my wife and children rely on for food? Don't say it's me. I think it’s best to leave your money to my wife and children, anyway, you’re leaving with me, and my hometown doesn’t have any money.”

"..." Xia Chunqiu said silently. Once the seal is opened, it is still unknown what the world will be like. I am afraid that there will be a greater disaster than 26 years ago. Your wife and children must survive first. It's money.

"According to the old monk, this world is not worth staying for a long time, why don't you take your wife and children away..."

"They are not the creatures of my hometown, mortals, they don't stay in the world, what are you running around?" Boss Wu retorted, and waved his hand again, "I'm not talking about you, you help me go home, I help you stay in you In the fairyland that I am thinking about, it is very fair between you and me."

"...Since you have no heart in the world, why do you need to marry a wife and have children? There are so many worries for no reason?"

"The concern is the concern of this body, not mine." Boss Wu looked down at his own body, "When he died, he lent me his body to live here. I helped him to live on, marry a wife and have children, which is also fair. .”

"........."

"This body was only ten years old when it died, and I haven't tasted anything. I'm kind," the old monk didn't answer, and Boss Wu continued to mutter, "Besides, although the father of this body drowned, the mother is still alive. What can I do if I force her son to marry every day when he is old? Fortunately, I picked the most beautiful and kind girl for him."

When everyone arrived, I saw a woman in her thirties stepping into the pharmacy carrying a food box, thinking that her husband hadn't come home to eat, so she came to deliver food to him.

In the eyes of the old monk, the "prettiest" girl that Boss Wu said is actually nothing more than a middle-aged person. I don't know how those gods who are said to be born from nature and transformed from spiritual energy in that world can distinguish the beauty and ugliness of ordinary people. of.

He not only doesn't know how they distinguish between beauty and ugliness, but also doesn't know if they have hearts or feelings—say no, this "Boss Wu" who doesn't know the truth, doesn't want to see the shell it lives in. Being alone for the rest of my life made the old lady in this body sad; if she did, she refused to take the wife and children in this body away, knowing that no one is here, so what's the use of leaving endless gold and silver?

"Oh, I didn't know Master was here, but I haven't seen you for almost a year."

As soon as the woman looked up with the food box, she saw the old monk sitting and drinking tea with her husband, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid the food is not enough, I will make some more vegetarian dishes. Master, the last time you gave the girl is safe and secure." I didn't even have time to thank you properly."

"It's not something valuable, you're welcome," the old monk smiled and waved his hands, "I don't need to add more food, I'll just sit and go."

After sending the woman away, Boss Wu didn't let the old monk go. He took out the white rice from the food box and served it with vegetables and steamed fish.

Although Xia Chunqiu didn't want to stop talking, he really didn't just step on the meal time to grab a meal. He went to close the other half of the door, Fang took out something from his arms, and handed it to the man who was buried in the food, saying: "This is the one." A seal of Chang'an."

"Let's put it there first, we'll talk about it after dinner," Boss Wu glanced at Yin, then retracted his gaze and said, "After waiting for so many years, this meal is not bad."

So this seal of Chang'an, which interferes with the two worlds and the world, with tens of millions of living beings, whose preciousness is not enough to describe its eventuality, just condescended to be placed on an old wooden table together with a plate of green vegetables and a plate of steamed fish.

Looking at this seal, Xia Chunqiu couldn't help thinking of the past 26 years ago - that year, he left Youzhou with a young man who had a relationship with the fairyland, and went all the way south, visiting places where disasters occurred. In order to find it, is there anyone who has entered a foreign land and returned.

The world was changing, many people died everywhere, and many disappeared, but he never found a second person who claimed to have seen a fairyland.

This is a very natural thing, but it inevitably makes the old monk who is devoted to searching for immortals feel absurd: he thinks he is absurd, and he actually believed the words of a vulgar man. Maybe the so-called fairyland is really just a piece of shit Dream.

However, when he passed the flooded Lize Lake and passed through a town that was busy rebuilding, he was called out by a child playing on the street.

The boy was only about ten years old, but he spoke very maturely.

The first sentence he said to Xia Chunqiu was: "You monk has a smell that I am familiar with. Have you ever learned any special sealing method?"

Things in this world are sometimes so wonderful, like the pieces on a chessboard, each piece has its own place.

Xia Chunqiu knows that he is just one of them, but he intends to make this chess game that has been played for thousands of years, and play an ending game.

Until the end, who knows if he is the one who will win or lose?

Xia Chunqiu didn't know either, but only knew one truth: no regrets.

"Have you been to Namashan Town with this seal?"

After eating and wiping his mouth, Boss Wu took the seal and looked at it carefully.

"Going to go, I also tried the method you said, but it only disturbed the Baili Mountains and Rivers, and there was no other movement."

"It's okay, it can't be taken by chance, at worst, it's forced to open. It's not like we haven't studied this seal. We've been thinking about it for 20 years, right? Look, it's made your head bald."

"..." Xia Chunqiu thought to himself that my head was bald when I first saw you. This is not a human thing that has wandered around in the world. I don't want to learn from others, but I want to learn from artificial mouths.

"Is the old prince still in good health? There is still room for him to be used. If the seal is not completed, he will kick off first."

"Don't worry, he is very energetic, and he is very angry when he scolds people."

Xia Chunqiu and Wu Miaomiao, one is human and the other is not.

Although one has learned the sealing method that is not born in the world, it is of little use in seeking immortals; although the other claims to be unlucky and fell into the mortal world from another world, he does not know how to return to his hometown.

Fortunately, there are always other people in the world who want to become immortals and achieve Taoism, and live forever. The former emperor once conferred a prince to guard the Southwest, but this Southwest King has neither literary skills nor martial arts skills, nor does he have the ability to fight for power. Possessive thoughts, but notoriously obsessed with alchemy, and supported a bunch of monks and Taoists.

Xia Chunqiu has never seen Wu Miaomiao's true nature, and he only knows that the skills he taught him are true—Boss Wu claims that he is also a fetish who summons wind and rain in his hometown, but he came to the world with a full body of cultivation. ——He couldn't use the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers in this world, so he could only teach Xia Chunqiu how to learn the method of possessing spirits. After the old monk became the Southwest King, he led him to study the Miao people's voodoo technique, which made the old monk suspicious of him. The truth is not a bug.

Xia Chunqiu was willing to serve under the command of the Southwest King, just to see what kind of alchemy he had collected and used some skills, so he was regarded as the honored guest by this prince who was full of seeking immortality, and hurriedly pulled him to talk at night by candle.

After chatting and chatting, the king of Southwest smiled arrogantly: "Master, I don't know, this world should belong to me."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"Although this dynasty establishes a heir and does not establish an elder, that one," he pointed to the sky, "is weak when he is young, and his heirs are also difficult."

"That's what I heard."

"Father was originally thinking about passing on the throne to me, but later that person got better, so I didn't mention it anymore."

"........."

"Immortal Master doesn't believe it?" The Southwest King has no ability, but his mind is heavy. Seeing that Xia Chunqiu didn't answer, he just thought he didn't believe it, so he snorted and said, "Before my father left, I was not feeling well for a while. When I was sick I once heard him tell a secret that only the emperors of the past generations could know, there is an ancient temple in this capital, the name of the temple is Chang Geng..."

"My lord is really a blessed man..." Xia Chunqiu listened with lowered eyes, and said with a smile, "I think all the treasures in the palace will be published in the compilation book. My lord, if there is a rubbing copy of the seal, can you find a way to describe it to the old man?" have a look?"

"The word 'Chang'an' has the same origin as the seal circle of your master's school." Wu Miaomiao looked at the seal and studied the strokes of the rubbings for many years. Algorithms in the human world can only be refined..." He counted with his fingers, and asked uncertainly, "But more than 6000 years?"

"..." The old monk thought to himself that you couldn't figure it out yourself, and asked me what I was doing, besides, "but" is not such a usage.

"Anyway, when the seal is completed, I still have no sanity," Boss Wu frowned and said with his drooping brows, "otherwise, the method of opening the seal we have figured out will not be only [-]% sure, and you will have to pay for it." Disciple dies."

"Success or failure, you have to try it to know," Xia Chunqiu joked casually, not regretting Chai Wu's life, "It doesn't cost money to try."

"...I have been in your world for more than 20 years, and there is always something that I can't understand," Wu Miaomiao put down her seal, and said with a serious face, "Now I can go back, I ask my friend, can you explain to me?"

"But it's okay to ask, the old monk knows everything."

"Because there are too many people, you don't care much about human life?" Wu Miaomiao looked puzzled, "But I don't think so, my neighbors have a headache and they want to grab the medicine, but they don't care about their lives. "

"........."

"That means life is too easy?" The old monk didn't answer for a while, and Boss Wu continued to ponder on his own, "It's not my hometown. If you want to become a refined form and open your mind, you really need a lot of luck and luck. .”

"...It's not easy," Xia Chunqiu finally said, "It's not easy to live," Fu shook his head again, "Although it's not easy, I don't know your problem, so I can't say it."

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually," Wu Miaomiao didn't mind, and just instructed, "But if you really go back to my hometown with me, don't be noisy and lonely. Not only is there no one there, there is no such thing as me." How much, and there is no distinction between male and female, and there is no such thing as yin and yang reproduction." He did not shy away from calling himself "things, male and female", but he seemed to recall the scene of the other world, and said with emotion, "Your world is so lively, our place Walking for a long time, there is no living creature, even the living creatures, they all occupy their own side, and each one is not the same as each other. If you want to find something like yourself as a companion, you can't find it."

"It's early, it's not too late. I still have my nephew and a young man from the palace chasing after me. I think you can go with me today." Xia Chunqiu stopped listening to him and concluded, "Do you still need to go home and say goodbye to the wife and children in this body?"

"Who said I'm going to leave with you today?" Boss Wu asked in surprise, "Niuniu got a cold two days ago, and she's still coughing. I have to wait until she stops coughing before leaving, right?"

"..." The old monk was speechless again for a moment, thinking to himself that you are leaving now, and you don't care what she is doing if she coughs or not.

"You bring your own seal to decorate first, and I will go to you when Niu Niu is ready." Boss Wu waved his hand and asked again, "Have you brought any money with you? Leave it to me, you can't drink my tea for nothing .”

The old monk shook his head and left the silver taels on his body, and told those who were following carefully, he said nothing more, and went out with his seal.

Wu Miaomiao went home, played with the children for a while, and chatted with his wife for a while, then the family turned off the lights and rested as usual.

But just after seeing the child, Boss Wu suddenly sat up like a corpse, hesitated for a moment, and pressed his backhand on the center of his eyebrows. It was very difficult, as if holding shit for a long time. Mang floated out from his Shenting acupoint, and sank into the woman's brow on the bed like a will-o'-the-wisp, and was supported by Boss Wu, to the hut where the child slept, and submerged into the Yintang acupoint of the child on the bed.

"With my true knowledge to protect you, among other things, you will definitely be able to save your life," the child on the bed coughed twice in a dream, and then Boss Wu made amends softly, "Maybe you won't be sick for the rest of your life."

"Daddy..." The little girl didn't know whether she was woken up by her father, or she woke up from coughing, she opened her eyes in a daze and called out.

"Daddy is here, you continue to sleep."

"...Daddy, what are you going to do if you don't sleep?" The child was sleepy, but the question was clear.

"Don't do anything," the father tucked the quilt up for her, paused, and then added softly, "I'm not going anywhere, you go to sleep."

The child fell asleep again, and Boss Wu didn't dare to quarrel with her any more. He only said in his heart: Girl, your father and I are a thing that doesn't even distinguish between male and female. Get old, you must listen to her in the future.

He wanted to touch her head again, but in the end he just sighed and turned back.

The author has something to say: Well, I know there are no Lanlan and Master in this chapter, but Wu Dongxi (full name "Wu Miaomiao, who doesn't even distinguish between male and female") who just joined the group is also very cute.
