Chapter 29
"Xiao Zhuo, shall we go to Chang'an?" Jin Ruo snuggled into Xiao Zhuo's arms. The two met again after not seeing each other for a few days. However, Jin Ruo did not confide in her longing for Xiao Zhuo, but held Xiao Zhuo for a long time and refused to let go.
"Why do you think of going to Chang'an?"
Although Xiao Zhuo didn't understand why Jin Ruo made this request, he could see that Jin Ruo seemed a little different after coming back this time, as if he was deliberately hiding something. But he knew that at least Jin Ruo treated him well.
His heart is still the same as before. But now that he has gone to Chang'an, he has to deal with a lot of things, the first of which is the engagement of Xiao Yan's family.
"Didn't you say before that Chang'an is so lively and prosperous? I suddenly want to accompany you to see it." Jin Ruo still cuddled up to Xiao Zhuo, not wanting to let go of Xiao Zhuo.
"Okay! Let's go discuss it with eldest brother first. He may have to go back too." Xiao Zhuo still pulled away, preparing to take Jin Ruo back to find Xiao Rui.
"No, just the two of us go back together." Jin Ruo grabbed him and saw that Xiao Zhuo was still a little confused, so he said: "Your eldest brother is going back to pay homage to your father. He must be working hard when he goes back. We
Just walk slowly, you two, don't be in such a hurry."
"Isn't this bad?" It's not that Xiao Zhuo doesn't understand what Jin Ruo means. The two of them went back alone, and the two of them were flirting with each other along the way. It's not that Xiao Zhuo didn't want to, it's just that the main fault for the marriage between Xiao Yan's family was on him.
If Xiao Rui just went back like this, he could imagine what Xiao Rui would be like being trained by his father. He still couldn't bear to cheat his brother like this.
"Xiao Zhuo, do you want to fly back?" Xiao Zhuo was still hesitating, but Jin Ruo asked another very tempting question.
"Okay! Let's go back first."
Xiao Zhuo no longer cares about what Xiao Rui will say when he goes back. Anyway, Xiao Yan and his family have discussed what to do the day before. The main reason is that he, the culprit, must go back and admit his mistake to his father. But this mistake has long been made.
In fact, there is not much difference between admitting it late and admitting it late. So Xiao Zhuo immediately took some necessary things and then followed Jin Ruo Yukong. However, in order to reassure Yan Qingyuan and his wife, Xiao Zhuo still left a letter
.
The two of them walked all the way north, stopping and walking, sometimes indulging in the mountains and forests, sometimes wandering in the hustle and bustle of the city; today they soared over the blue sea and clear sky, and tomorrow they rode horses in the dim light of the morning; when they were leisurely, Xiao
Zhuo indulged in playing the piano, and Jin Ruo danced the sword gracefully. The two of them were enjoying themselves, and time flew by. When his waist was tight, Xiao Zhuo was selling paintings on the street, and Jin Ruo polished ink for them. The golden and white colors of each other complemented each other. Short
More than ten days passed by in a blink of an eye, and everything Xiao Zhuo had seen in his dreams had come to light in these few days. But just like this, Xiao Zhuo became even more uneasy.
In his dream, the first half was beautiful. Now he and Jin Ruo were indeed as free and unrestrained as in the dream. But the second half! Xiao Zhuo couldn't figure it out. If he and Jin Ruo were like this now, it would be a dream.
A true portrayal, does that mean they will be separated soon? Moreover, when Jinruo came back this time, he didn’t mention a word about his experiences after returning to Dongshan Lake. Is there anything he doesn’t know, or that he can’t know?
! He used to think that Jin Ruo would tell him when it was time for him to know, but these days, Jin Ruo still has no intention of telling him. And he could see that there was a trace of sadness hidden under Jin Ruo's joy, and he felt that
I also started to feel a little scared.
Until the day they arrived outside Chang'an City, in that inn again, Xiao Zhuo and Jin Ruo talked about the last time they met the white-haired Taoist Priest, but they didn't know if Jin Ruo was really too tired or listened too seriously.
, and actually fell asleep slowly.
"Girl, who are you?"
Xiao Zhuo gently put Jin Ruo on the bed, but when he turned around, a woman in green clothes was standing behind him. However, he did not see any reaction from Gu Jian, so he was not hostile to the other party. However, he had just
After he finished speaking, he saw the other party wave his jade hand, and he appeared outside the inn with the woman in green.
"I am Mingxin, and your sword is my restored spirituality. Xiao Zhuo, are you living a comfortable life these days?" Mingxin moved her fingers again, and a celadon wine bottle appeared on the bluestone table in front of the two of them.
, and there are two sapphire cups next to them, which look extraordinary at first glance.
"Thank you, princess." Xiao Zhuo heard what Ming Xin said and quickly thanked him. Regardless of Jin Ruo's reasons for insisting on accompanying him to Chang'an, but in order to leave Dongshan Lake, Ming Xin must agree to this.
, he still knows.
"Is there anything you want to know? I'll tell you what I can tell you." After Ming Xin finished speaking, she sat down first, poured herself a glass of wine, and then motioned for Xiao Zhuo to sit down.
"May I ask the princess, what happened to the old cat? Now in Yingbo Town..." Xiao Zhuo heard Xiao Rui mention that it was Mingxin who helped him find the fleas that sucked his blood, but even if these fleas have become spiritual,
One or two fleas would never be able to help the old cat fully recover. There must be a sufficient number, so Xiao Zhuo thought about it again and again and asked this question first.
"He was taken in by me. A few days ago, the underworld officials checked the souls of several children in Yingbo Town. They found that it was indeed the old cat who had done it, and they had already been handed over to heaven for disposal. As for those fleas, people in Yingbo Town should take baths more often.
Of course it's fine. No matter how highly cultivated a flea is, it's still a bug and can't withstand hot water! The medicine god has already arranged it, don't you have anything else to ask?" Although Mingxin answered him, her tone was obviously not very good.
good.
"Jinruo, she..." Xiao Zhuo hesitated. He could have asked Jinruo himself, but now he had to ask Mingxin behind Jinruo's back. This feeling was always a bit awkward, but if he didn't ask, he was really afraid that one day, Jinruo would...
If it disappears suddenly.
"Xiao Zhuo, let me tell you a story!" A smile appeared on the corner of Ming Xin's mouth, which seemed to be relieved and helpless. Then she waved her hand and another jasper wine glass floated in front of Xiao Zhuo.
"It seems to be four hundred years ago, right? A couple came to Dongshan Lake. They said they came from the Eastern Sea and wanted to find a peaceful place to live a peaceful life. My father thought they were no different from ordinary water tribes at that time.
So they were allowed to stay. Later, they gave birth to a daughter. The little girl was really cute. She was all golden and gorgeous. She stood out in the entire Dongshan Lake and was very popular." Ming Xin said this,
His expression became a little sad, and he drank the wine in his hand. The wine that Xiao Zhuo originally put to his mouth also stopped at this time. He understood that the couple Ming Xin was talking about was probably Jin.
Ruo’s parents!
"But when the little girl was ten years old, her parents cruelly abandoned her and insisted on returning to Dongfanghai. I asked my father at that time: 'Why did they abandon their daughter?' My father said: 'The family mission, if
If they don't take the responsibility, their daughter will have to take the responsibility sooner or later! So in order for this little girl to live a better life, they must go back!' Until now, I have never seen them come back, and I don't know if they have succeeded.
So I went to ask my father again and found out that for this mission, countless members of that family have been buried in the sea for thousands of years!" Mingxin said this, she was obviously a little excited. After drinking another glass of wine, she looked up.
Looking at the starry sky, the sadness in his eyes turned into tears, but they didn't flow out.
"What mission is that?" Xiao Zhuo's voice became a little choked. The hand holding the wine glass no longer knew where to place it. His slightly trembling hand seemed to spill out the wine in the glass. He hurriedly
Stretch out your other hand to hold on.
"You know the bloodline in Jinruo's body, right?" Mingxin turned around and saw Xiao Zhuo nodding his head before continuing: "Ten thousand years ago, the golden dragon caused the water of the Milky Way to pour into the world for some reason. There is a way in heaven.
, one year on the earth, although the backflow of water did not last long in the heaven, in the human world, it was already a torrential wave, causing trouble in all nine states. The emperor of heaven was furious, and while rushing the gods down to control the flood, he ordered the god of war Xingtian to capture the golden dragon. Later, the golden dragon
Even though he was lying in wait at Longmen Terrace, the Golden Dragon was an ancient god after all. Although his body was dead, his spirit was immortal. In order to prevent the Golden Dragon from harboring resentment and causing trouble to heaven, and at the same time to prevent the evil god from seizing the opportunity to seduce the Golden Dragon's spirit and become a demon, the Emperor of Heaven used the ancient artifact Xuanji.
Mirror was the spirit of the formation, and he set up a great formation to kill the gods to suppress the Golden Dragon Spirit, and separated Longmen Terrace from its place and exiled it to the four seas. Later, the floods in the world were quelled by Dayu, and the resentment in the world gradually subsided, and the Emperor of Heaven planned to let the Golden Dragon go.
, but in order to let Jin Long take a warning, he summoned the Tiandao Tower and stipulated that only the descendants of Jin Long could rescue his soul. By that time, Jin Long's tribe had already been demoted to the status of golden carp and sent to the four seas.
Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven opened an area of less than three feet around the Dragon Gate Platform for the descendants of the Golden Dragon to jump onto the Dragon Gate Platform. As long as the descendants of the Golden Dragon get the Xuanji Mirror, the God-killing Formation will disappear and the Golden Carp Clan can rescue the Golden Dragon.
, restore the dragon body and return to Tianhe."
"Why? Since the Emperor of Heaven wants to pardon the Golden Dragon, why does he have to do so many tricks?" Xiao Zhuo couldn't bear it any longer. He drank the wine in one breath and slammed the glass on the table. He couldn't help it.
There was no reason for him to stop Jin Ruo from fulfilling his mission. A mortal with a life span of a hundred years would still have the concept of doing good deeds and filial piety first, let alone a descendant of the divine race like Jin Ruo.
"Xiao Zhuo, do you think the gods are very unkind? That's right. The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has been sung by you for thousands of years. It's no wonder you can't understand it. Let me tell you, no matter the gods in the past or the gods now, everything is done in the same way.
You must uphold the way of heaven. You mortals only know how to hate heaven forbidding gods from thinking about mortals. Have you ever thought that heaven does this to maintain the reincarnation of heaven and the union of gods and mortals. Once the gods are entangled in the past and present lives of mortals, they will inevitably do something that goes against the reincarnation of heaven.
Things disrupt the order of reincarnation. Gods have divine restraints, but gods do not. We would rather not let this happen, otherwise it will happen again and again! The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl face each other across the river, which is actually a good ending. At least the Cowherd is still the Cowherd.
Lang!" Mingxin looked at the sky again, where there was a jade belt across the sky, and two stars on the river bank looked at each other. Is it really caused by the Queen Mother of the West's ruthlessness?
"Jinruo...when will you leave?"
Xiao Zhuo was scolded by Ming Xin, and he finally understood. What Ming Xin said was the same reason as Jin Ruo's rejection of him, and his own fear. Jin Ruo was now leaving everything behind to be with him.
It's not like he's risking everything he has.
"Originally, it will take another fifty or sixty years, and I planned to tell her then. By then, it will be almost time for you to be reincarnated. If she can have happy memories, even if she fails, her life will not be in vain!
But I didn't expect that Lao Mao actually knew how to condense the Bloodline Yuan Dan, which caused her bloodline to awaken early. She begged me to help her re-seal it, and even wanted to give up on this mission for a while, but her parents learned from their mistakes.
I dare not hide her. My father and I tried our best to hold her off for half a month! Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, she must rush to the Eastern Sea!" Mingxin tried her best to suppress her emotions, but the wine she poured out
, could no longer pour into the glass, and finally had no choice but to give up.
When Mingxin went to see Xiao Zhuo again, she saw that Xiao Zhuo was lying on the table with his face buried in his sleeves. He had lost all the demeanor of the young master from aristocratic family. Although Xiao Zhuo did not make any sound at this time,
Looking at the shaking shoulders, she still knew that Xiao Zhuo was crying.
"What should I do?" After a long time, Xiao Zhuo finally raised his head and asked Xiang Mingxin.
"The matter between you and Jin Ruo is yours to decide. Either tell her that you already know everything, cry with her, and then part ways reluctantly; or pretend not to know and let her fulfill her mission without regrets. I
The reason why I tell you today is just because I don't want you to hate her in the future!" After Mingxin finished speaking, she also left her seat and turned around to look at the window that was still lit.
"I know!" As soon as Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, Mingxin also disappeared. Mingxin didn't tell him clearly what to do, but the last sentence was obviously the answer and the choice in his heart!
There is also the last chapter, which is getting harder and harder to write!
Chapter completed!
