Almost every temple has a story. When it is prosperous, there are stories of prosperity, and when it is in decline, there are stories of ruin. This temple is the same.
She has not seen the prosperity of the temple. Since she moved here, it has no longer been incense. On the dilapidated main hall, the ugly bellies of the Buddha statues were exposed.
It was here that she met him, the handsome scholar. He and his friends were caught in the rain in the mountains and hid in the temple.
With just one glance, her heart began to beat wildly, and this was destined to be her fate. With her thousands of years of cultivation, she knew that as long as she took one step forward, she would be doomed. But with just one look, she took that step and never looked back.
Her footsteps were slow. At this time, she was a woman who was flustered by the heavy rain. Her white clothes were stained with mud because of her panic, and her hair was soaked by the rain. The water from her bun ran down her face, making her face look pale.
Her panicked footsteps alerted the two people who were warming themselves by the fire in the hall. They raised their heads and looked at each other. She was shy and panicked, and lowered her head in confusion.
"Miss, please come in quickly, don't get wet in the rain." There was obvious suspicion on his face, but he still hurriedly let her in.
Moving lightly, her body exudes a charming light fragrance, which seems cool and warm at the same time. His heart trembled, remembering the hurried glances they had just exchanged. There was something familiar to him in her eyes.
"Lean over here." His friend moved his body so that she could stand closer to the fire, but she hesitated, did she really want to step forward? She had seen the confusion in his eyes.
"Miss, don't freeze your body." He caught her gaze and smiled softly, which was also a real and familiar feeling.
At this time, his friend pulled him and the two retreated to the back of the palace.
"How could a weak woman appear in this wilderness?" There was nervousness in the friend's words.
"I have the same doubts as you, but whether she is human or not, now that we have met, it is fate." His voice was calm. They must have thought she couldn't hear it, but in fact, no sound in this ruined temple could escape her ears.
Her sister who practiced with her once told her that she could escape this disaster, as long as she did not believe in love in this world. But she didn't want to, because over the past thousand years, seeing the turbulent love stories in the world of mortals had slightly loosened her solid heart. Becoming an immortal could let go of her worries, but those stories were really too beautiful.
This man had a familiar warm smile, and her heart felt extremely soft at this moment.
It must have been because they had been away for too long, so the two ended their conversation and came back. His face was calm, and he still had a faint smile.
"This young master," she made up her mind, "I have heard the conversation between you two. To be honest with you, I am indeed a silver fox practicing here."
My friend screamed "Wow" and hid behind him, but there was no abnormality on his face.
"Since we have met, it is fate. There is a look in the lady's eyes that I seem to have seen before." He said softly, looking into her eyes.
"The little fox's name is Lian'er, and she has been practicing for nearly a thousand years. I know that this encounter is destined, please cherish it, sir." A blush appeared on her face.
His heart hurt so much. The woman he often saw in his dreams had the same eyes, the same voice, and the same name as her, although her cheeks were hazy.
"My surname is Zhao Mingjue, and I live in Zhaojiazhuang, five miles away." He pulled back his friend who was hiding behind him, "This is my good friend, his name is Li Dingkang. Today we are two We made an appointment to travel together, but we didn't expect to encounter a sudden rain. Miss Lian'er, could it be that we had met in the previous life, so we met unexpectedly?"
Li Dingkang listened to Zhao Jue in a daze. If you are stupid, he has never had such crazy thoughts and said such words without thinking!
"My sister once warned me that having a heartbeat is a taboo in cultivation, but I still came to keep the appointment. Mr. Zhao, although this is not a thousand-year oath, I have been waiting for it for three lifetimes."
He impulsively stepped forward to take her slender hand, but stopped midway. In front of him is a brave woman with a beautiful yet fragile appearance. This was so different from the women he had seen in his more than ten years of life.
"Miss Lian'er, come home with me, and I will tell my parents before I can marry you."
"Brother Zhao, she is a fox fairy." Li Dingkang said no more Unable to bear it, he shouted.
"I have made up my mind." He ignored Li Dingkang's strange scream and just looked at her.
"It is absolutely impossible that the little fox can meet the young master. This life is enough for the little fox. How can he get such pity from the young master! I just hope that the young master can occasionally think of this heavy rain."
"Lian'er, it's getting late, please follow me on my way." Without any explanation, he pulled her out of the ruined temple.
He hid everything from his parents, only saying that she was the woman he had a private life-long contract with, and he ran away from home because his parents did not allow it. His parents were shocked, but they couldn't hold their son back and threatened him with death, so they agreed to get married.
Lian'er is smart and virtuous, and knows that she must win the favor of her two elders in order to make the family harmonious. During the day, she served her parents-in-law lovingly, and even put aside her shyness as a bride to cook delicious food in the kitchen. At night, the couple holds candles, writes poems or calligraphy and paintings, and lies with their necks crossed, loving each other until death. Gradually, the days began to become warm and calm.
Although the old parents had doubts about the origin of this daughter-in-law, they saw that Lian'er was happily busy every day, keeping the whole house in order. Their precious son also He looks more energetic. In addition, a few months later, Lian'er received the good news that she was pregnant, and the uneasiness they once had gradually faded from the faces of the two old people.
Zhao Jue and Lian'er lived a happy life, but Li Dingkang's life was like walking on thin ice. As a good friend of Zhao Jue, he often goes in and out of Zhao's house, but he doesn't dare to look at Lian'er. When he sees her, he will have the image of a banshee in front of his eyes. I don't think about food and drink every day, and I am troubled by nightmares every night.
Zhao Jue knew the crux of his problem. He thought that if he and Lian'er had a happy life, Li Dingkang's knot would naturally be untied. Who would have thought that after more than a year, he would be bedridden? Sorry. Zhao Jue was heartbroken to see the once lively young man reduced to a skeleton.
Lian'er is skilled in medicine. She once begged Zhao Jue to take her to see Li Dingkang, but Zhao Jue refused. No matter how good her medical skills were, she could not cure his heart disease. They could only watch helplessly as their friends who grew up together gradually died.
Finally, Li Dingkang closed his frightened eyes and could no longer open them. After the funeral, his family went to the Zhao family to question him. It turned out that he failed to keep the secret before his death and told his father what happened in the deserted temple on that rainy day.
The Zhao house, which had been celebrating together because of Lian Er's happiness, suddenly fell into chaos. The original doubts about Lian'er's unknown origin were confirmed at this moment, and the old lady of the Zhao family became crazy after hearing the news. Throw away everything that Lian'er has touched that can be discarded, and have the servants wash the things that cannot be discarded.
Zhao Jue reluctantly asked Lian'er to stay in the room and avoid going out. He had just lost his best friend, and his mother suddenly went crazy again. The double blow made him haggard in an instant. Every day, he followed his mother around the house, fearing that a slight oversight would lead to a big mistake.
The old father began to hire people to catch monsters. Lian'er knew all about this, but Yue Jue was kept in the dark. He was worried about his mother's illness every day, and even ignored the faint smile on Lian'er's face. sad face.
Lian'er is not afraid of those so-called monks who subjugate demons, because they are just quacks and magicians who only want to defraud the Zhao family of their money. She originally had a way to make Zhao Jue's mother regain consciousness, but she didn't want to appear in front of her and embarrass Zhao Jue.
She sat quietly in her room, making small clothes and shoes for her unborn child. Her sister came several times and wanted to take her away, but she couldn't let go of Zhao Jue. This man knew she was a monster, but he still took her home, loved her, protected her, and allowed her to enjoy all the happiness a woman should have. Now that she has plunged his family into a quagmire, she naturally needs to stay and help him get out of the quagmire.
"Lian'er." Zhao Jue just came back late at night, covered in dust and looking tired.
"Husband, you are finally back." Lian'er put down the embroidered bellyband and stood up to undress him. In just a few days, his face had obviously become thinner, and it was so pale that Lian'er's heart trembled, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"It's nothing serious. Today I invited someone from the city to Doctor, he prepared some medicine to calm his mind. After drinking it, he can already recognize me.
"Although he was tired, Zhao Jue still had a smile on his face. This was a smile that was rare to see for several days. "I also asked the doctor to prepare a few tonics for you, and they will be fried in a while. "
"Lian'er has always been in good health, so there is no need to drink those bitter medicines. "Seeing that Zhao Jue was still so concerned about her at this time, Lian'er couldn't help but lean on his chest.
"The medicine should be ready, I'll bring it to you. "Zhao Jue gently helped Lian'er sit by the bed, and walked out under the night. After a while, he walked in with a bowl of hot soup, "Lian'er, come on, drink it while it's hot." "
Looking at the bowl of steaming soup, Lian'er was shocked, because she found the Taoist spell in the medicine, and Zhao Jue actually brought such medicine. It turned out that he was still a man after all. Unable to accept the fact that she is a fox.
My heart was shattered into powder in an instant. This heart that had been hardened for cultivation was tender because of Zhao Jue, but at this moment, it was broken again because of him.
"Husband, what should we name our child? "Lian'er lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"If I give birth to a daughter, let's call her Xiaolian. She should be as gentle and beautiful as Lian'er. " Zhao Jue answered, with a strong sense of sleepiness in his voice.
"Why are you talking about this again? He seemed to be waking up from a dream, "You and I have discussed it so many times. Are you afraid that your husband will forget it?" It's better to drink the medicine first and rest early. "
Lian'er's tears fell into the bowl. She once thought that the friendship in the world was so beautiful, but in just two years, everything had come to nothing. The man who once loved her deeply now He actually set a trap to frame himself. Well, if he drank it, he would never be friends with the man around him, leaving only the blood and bones in his body as a witness for this life.
Nearing his childhood, Lian Er. There were noisy footsteps outside the house. Those people were coming, those who were hunting monsters. Lian'er was not afraid of these people. The spell she drank had no effect in her body. The only one that could work was Zhao. Jue’s betrayal
“Lian’er, why is it so noisy outside? "Zhao Jue muttered in his dream.
"Husband, that's the person who captured Lian'er. From now on, you never have to see me again. " Lian'er's tears hit Zhao Jue's face, and he suddenly woke up.
"Who wants to catch you? Why should they catch you? ”
“You don’t have to hide anymore. "Lian'er wanted to say something else, but the Taoist priest outside the door had already recited Taoist chants and started practicing. Suddenly, there was a strong wind outside the house, and it looked strange.
Lian'er stood up and walked out. Zhao Jue He put on his clothes casually and followed him out. The "Shenwu" Taoist priest was waving his sword and chanting something. Zhao Jue held Lian'er behind him, and the sword he was waving was like this, straight. Inserted into his chest
“Husband! Lian'er cried out in pain and hugged Zhao Jue, "Since you made me drink the bowl of medicine with the spell, why did you rush out now?" "
Zhao Jue's eyes were blurry and he touched Lian'er's tearful face with his hand, "How could I harm you, my husband? That medicine actually made this shameless Taoist... Lian'er, Lian'er, I I don’t want to...leave..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Jue closed his eyes and his soul slowly left his body. Lian'er watched all this in horror, but she was suffering from the fact that she was pregnant with Liujia and could not Casting a spell to protect his soul.
On the other side, Zhao Jue's father rushed towards his child like crazy, but was stopped by Lian'er's hoarse voice, "Don't come over, I want to protect Zhao Lang." 's soul. Get away from me all. "
The stunned people looked at Lian'er staggeringly sitting up and reciting a spell. After a while, a beautiful woman appeared in the room.
Lian'er knelt on the ground. : "Sister, please protect Zhao Lang's soul, I want him to return to the world of the sun. "
"Silly sister, this is the fate of you and him. How can you save him? The woman shook her head, "You can't go against destiny and change the book of life and death." "
"Good sister, for Zhao Lang, I am willing. It's just that I can't use my skills now. I can only wait until the baby is born. So during this period, I kindly ask my sister to protect Zhao Lang for me. "
Seeing Lian'er kneeling down, her clothes wet with tears, her sister could no longer refuse her request. At this time, the entire Zhang family family gathered in front of the house, watching the development of the situation. Even the old lady who had gone crazy a few days ago returned to normal and walked over.
"Lian'er, I promise you, but do you want to know the price you need to pay to save Zhao Jue? It could be that thousands of years of cultivation are in vain, or the worst is to be shattered into pieces."
" I know that I will ask my sister to take care of my children in the future. Zhao Lang may have lost his memory after waking up, and he may not remember that he had a child."
The beautiful woman took Lian. Er and Zhao Jue soared into the sky, leaving behind stunned people in the whole house. They forgot to chase and could no longer bear to chase.
The day of Lian'er's delivery has arrived, but the sister in the house needs to protect Zhao Jue and his soul sleeplessly. Lian'er can only be alone, not only enduring the pain of labor, but also overcoming the negative emotions. The fear of the unknown future. Those so-called enlightened people have given up on ordinary human emotions early on, and naturally disdain marriage, so they don't have to go through the pain of childbirth.
Lian'er prepared hot water, scissors, candlelight and other necessary things for herself early. She lay quietly on the bed and endured bursts of tight pain without making a sound or even frowning. Raise your eyebrows.
She didn’t know what her child would look like. She just wanted to give birth to him early and recover as soon as possible so that she could have the power to bring Zhao Jue back to the earth. Many days have passed, and the unfounded soul on that side is getting more and more restless, trying to break out of the barrier set by my sister.
Finally, she heard a loud cry beneath her. When she leaned down to cut the umbilical cord, she saw a face full of blood and a pair of eyes that looked exactly like Zhao Jue's.
After washing and wrapping the child as quickly as possible, Lian'er lay down exhausted on the bed and held the child tightly in her arms, "Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian, mother is going to go tomorrow. Save your father, maybe you and I will never see each other again." As he said this, tears flowed down and fell on the little girl's face. The child's eyes were fixed on her mother. Did she understand?
She wanted to just look at the child like this, but she needed to regain her strength. She could only try her best to let the child go to sleep with a full meal, and then she also fell into a deep sleep.
The sky soon dawned, and Lian'er hugged Xiaolian and came to her sister, "Sister, from now on, Xiaolian and Zhao Lang will be entrusted to my sister, and Lian'er will leave now."
"Lian'er, let my sister go. After spending these thousand years of cultivation, I will also ask the King of Hell to get your Zhao Lang back." My sister cried. She has not cried in these more than a thousand years, but she She didn't want to let Xiaolian go like this, because Xiaolian had Zhao Jue and a child. She used to not care about all of this, but now, Xiaolian's decisive eyes made her feel envious. The emotions in this world are really It can be so beautiful that it makes a fox fairy who has practiced for thousands of years give up everything.
"Zhao Lang was hit hard because of me. How could I let my sister take risks." Lian'er put away her tears, "I will plead with the King of Hell and ask him to let Zhao Lang go, and also let him go." If it doesn't work, I will be shattered to pieces. I have Zhao Lang and I have a daughter. How can I be willing to leave so easily? Sister, don't worry, I will definitely come back."
< p> Give the story three endings:1. Lian'er went down to the Yama Hall, was shattered into pieces, and changed the book of life and death. Zhao Jue was reborn and lived with Lian'er's sister and child.
2. Lian'er begged the King of Hell, Zhao Jue was reborn but lost his memory, Lian'er lost a thousand years of cultivation, and Zhao Jue didn't know who she was, so she could only take her child far away Look at your lover.
