Slow and immortal

Chapter 233

Chapter 232

It was a day when it was raining heavily in autumn, and I could hear the rain pattering on the eaves and stone steps outside. The tick-tock sound made Xiao Yao feel dazed for a while, and the scroll in her hand also slipped down on the couch.

What Chu Xun said a few days ago has left her perplexed and troubled to this day.No matter what she was doing, she was absent-minded, Yue'er and Ah Yi seemed to have noticed something was wrong with her, and gave her a day off to let her rest well.

She is always busy with work on weekdays, and she has a rare free day, and she doesn't know what to do.Thinking of the past few days that she has been avoiding Chu Xun intentionally or unintentionally, she is always afraid that he will come to peek into her scarred heart and the jealous face hidden under the skin.

Fortunately, due to business matters in the cloth shop, he has gone out these few days, so he has to take a good breath.Today I don't know why God sent a ghost to come to his study.Although Chu Xun's study room is not locked, anyone can come in to borrow books, but because he always likes to stay in the study room, Xiao Yao has never entered it.

Today, by chance, she discovered that there are more than a dozen bookshelves inside and outside the small study room, on which there are many anecdotes, as well as various travel notes, ghosts and ghosts, almost all of which are books she likes to read.He was overjoyed and didn't care that this was Chu Xun's place, so he sat down on his couch and started to read.

Just in time, it began to rain lightly outside, which suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and annoying memories came back to his mind.Melancholy and loneliness hit her in bursts, making her at a loss for the future but not knowing what to do.

"But Xiao Yao is here?"

A sudden question brought her back from her thoughts, and when she looked up, she saw the man standing outside the window with a smile in his hand, holding an oiled paper umbrella, his plain blue shirt was stained with a lot of rain.I don't know if it's an illusion, but he doesn't have the usual carefree attitude at all, and his smile is less playful and more warm.

Subconsciously, Xiao Yao hurriedly got off the couch, trying to escape.Unexpectedly, the other party was faster than her, and walked a few steps and blocked the doorway, "Watching "Southern Tour"?"

Following his fingers, Xiao Yao saw the book that had slipped to the ground at some point, and nodded numbly.Then I heard the other party's almost inaudible sigh, "Did Xiao Yao keep avoiding me because of what happened a few days ago?"

"Master, you're worrying too much. I don't have.... I'm going back." She lowered her eyes and concealed herself.

"Since there is no one, how about we sit down and chat?" The other party sincerely invited.

"What are you talking about?" She looked up in confusion.

"Just talk about why Xiao Yao wants to cultivate immortality?" His smile is unpredictable.

Why would she want to cultivate immortality?I remember when I first saw the immortal, the posture standing on the magic weapon, the fluttering appearance of the clothes, and the free and unrestrained pride are all fascinating.Then she wants to escape from the small mountain village where she can neither see the sea nor the green mountains all day long and only see a piece of loess; she wants to live for a long time, and then travel to every place written in the book; she hopes to be able to Chic and unrestrained, soaring freely without any constraints.

"Pursuing a vast land and sky, being unrestrained and free... Only a cultivator can do this." She looked through him, looking out at the drizzle as if recalling.

"Unfettered freedom?" The other party smiled at this moment, and the smile was a bit dazzling, "But Xiao Yao, you are mistaken, there is no absolute freedom in this world."

"How could it be! A cultivator is omnipotent. With a wave of his sleeves, he can overwhelm the rivers and seas. He is an existence that no one can restrain!" Xiao Yao's pupils constricted instantly, and this person actually wanted to destroy the belief she had always believed in.

"That's just the supreme power, not the so-called free and easy. The so-called everything can't escape the shackles of the rules of heaven and earth, birth, old age, sickness and death, grievances and hatred, even if you can cultivate longevity, once the soul is destroyed, you still can't escape the natural cycle of life and death. How can you Ability to break the rules one by one?"

"I..." The pale truth filled her with fear.

"If you don't believe me, ask yourself again, have you been free after so many years of cultivation? Or what are you still running away from?" He continued to stir up a storm in her heart wantonly, trying to eat her clean.

Xiao Yao was stunned on the spot, her hands and feet were cold and her mind went blank. When she looked back, Chu Xun had no idea where she was going.

She was so cold that she couldn't take a step, she leaned on the threshold, and her heart was in turmoil. It turned out that everything she had been looking for for a long time was just a phantom like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water?Is there really no freedom in this world?

Since everything does not exist, what is it that she has been longing for?In the drowsy state, I only felt waves of tiredness attacking my heart, and I closed my head and fell asleep.

In a trance, she seemed to be dreaming when she was a child, that time when her mother was teaching her to practice calligraphy, and it was like this light rain falling outside, her mother was looking out of the window in a daze, with a faint smile on her lips.

That kind of warm smile from the heart made her unable to help asking softly, "What is mother thinking? Are you smiling so happily?"

"Mother is wondering what the bliss on the other side of the red gravel will look like."

"Will you be happy just thinking about it?" The little girl pouted with a troubled look, making her smile even worse.

"Silly girl, the most important thing is the heart. There is a world in my mother's heart. I am happy when I think of it."

She nodded half-understood, and continued to hold the pen to describe the rest of the words, at this time slowly heard her mother whispering in her ear: "Yao'er, you have to remember, even if there is such a One day you will lose everything, but your heart cannot be lost." Said the mother's hand warmly pressed against her chest, "This is your only pure land, let it warm, and you will be able to live better forever Mother can rest assured, mother may soon..."

The mother didn't continue to say the following words, even though she couldn't understand her mother's words because she was too profound, she still raised a smile, "Well, mother, I'm very warm here because my mother is covering me."

So on such a rainy day, my mother hugged me, and the slight warmth filled the humble hut. Even though the previous touch was out of reach, it was indeed stationed in the bottom of my heart forever.

When she woke up, Xiao Yao's face was full of tears, and no one knew who moved her to the couch and covered her with a quilt.

After a warm dream, her mood has never been so clear.The unfettered and free spirit she had expected was born from the mind. The so-called mind follows the heart, even if there is no real freedom in the world?Her heart is free and unrestrained, not bound by the rules of the world, as long as this is enough!
Xiao Yao threw off the quilt violently, and ran out barefoot, she was going to find Chu Xun!
After leaving the room, she ran all the way to the small courtyard, and found that everyone was sitting around the stone table in the courtyard. She rushed to stand beside the man who was drinking sake at the table, and she was no longer afraid of him, hiding from him, Just firmly said:

"There is freedom in this world... I want to be free, freedom is in my heart, regardless of the rules of the world, no one can restrain it!"

Unexpectedly, he didn't utter a word to refute, but just smiled with both eyes, "This is the truth, of course, you can only bind yourself in a cocoon."

The latter sentence was so meaningful that Xiao Yao couldn't help but blush, at this moment the other party said again: "You rushed here just to tell me this?"

Xiao Yao was momentarily at a loss for words.Yes, why did she tell him?Then what is everyone doing around here?
Seeing her bewildered face, Yue'er chuckled, and stuffed a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks into her hands, "Sister, sit down quickly, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's enjoy the moon and have a reunion dinner together."

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival?Xiao Yao was slightly stunned, and found that the sky was completely dark now, the ground was a bit wet after it rained just now, and there were still clouds in the sky, and the moon was not seen.

The stone table was full of rich dishes, and there was a box of moon cakes in the middle. Everyone didn't move their chopsticks, as if they were waiting for her.

Now Yue'er and Wu Ma are looking at him with a smile; although Ah Yi is still expressionless, he has retreated from the coldness all over his body, and there seems to be warmth in his eyes; as for Chu Xun, although he is not looking at him, the corners of his lips still cannot be hidden Hold on to the pleasing arc.

For some reason, her nose was sour, and she couldn't help but want to cry.I didn't feel it when I was cultivating immortals, but why did I become so fragile once I entered this world of mortals?
As soon as she sat down and finished the dishes, Yue'er shouted happily: "Everyone is here, can the young master use the chopsticks? Yue'er is hungry."

"Use your chopsticks." Chu Xun nodded slightly.

As soon as the words fell, Ah Yi in that room had already picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating, and it was obvious that he was very hungry.Then everyone started to serve their own chopsticks, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

Xiao Yao lowered her head to hide her tearful eyes, and ate for a while, when suddenly a chicken leg was stuffed into her bowl, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yue'er's round apple face, her eyes were as bright as Xingchen, "Sister, we are a family."

"Thank you..." She choked with sobs and hurriedly lowered her head, her tears fell on the rice, her heart felt warm and aching.

In her memory, home is a simple house, a gentle mother, and an old grandma.Even in Xianyumen, she never felt that it was a home, so this is also a home...

At this time, someone beside her gently touched her, she turned her head slightly, and saw her pair of shoes lying quietly on the ground.

Looking up again, I saw a faint smile on the man's face, soft and eye-catching, "Put on well, it has just rained, and the weather is cool, so don't catch the wind and cold."

"Thank you." She didn't dare to read any more. This sentence of thank you was not only for him to help her bring the shoes, but also for him to wake her up.She is very glad that she chose to stay in this warm place.

"Look, the moon is out!" Yue'er looked at the sky, her words were full of joy.

Several people also looked up at the sky at the same time. I don't know when the clouds have been blown away by the cool wind. Although there are still a few residual clouds, it does not affect a round of bright moon hanging high in the sky, shedding a warm brilliance.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the tears on Xiao Yao's face were dry, she subconsciously covered her chest lightly: Mother, this place is still warm, I can go on.

Once on the fairy road, she has been muddled for hundreds of years, but now she suddenly wakes up, she wants to start from the beginning here, to cultivate her heart and Taoism!
