Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

She was not like this before, she always talked a lot like a little bird.After marrying Meng Longtan, she really became more and more silent and indifferent. Glancing at Meng Longtan, he saw Meng Longtan's expression was a bit embarrassed.Fu looked at Zhu Xiaolian again, saw him struggling to straighten up and said: "There is a third..." Aunt interrupted him: "The third type is those who are too lazy to lie to you!" "No." A faint blush appeared on Zhu Xiaolian's face, as if he was in a hurry or thought of something, and there was a trace of trance in his eyes, which made him a little more charming, "The flag hasn't moved, the wind hasn't moved. But People's hearts are moving... When you have this thought in your heart, you feel that the world is deceiving..."

I couldn't help looking at my aunt, and my aunt said, "Oh? You mean I'm narrow-minded? Then I have to listen to Mr. Zhu's high opinion." Zhu Xiaolian said: "It's not a high-level theory, but each person has his own aspirations. When a thought arises, love arises, and when the heart moves, the love moves. It started as a relationship between a man and a woman, and since then it has been sincerely treated and devoted to each other. Together, we will live together until the end of life." Between friends, heart-to-heart is the most important thing. Husband and wife need to be honest, life needs to be managed, and relationship needs to be cared for. This is the long-term way. Many couples who get along with each other sincerely for a lifetime, how can they be achieved by cheating?"

The room was full of silence, my heart was shaking and jumping wildly, and my aunt's expression was a little gloomy: "When I think about it, I feel emotional, so the person who makes Mr. Zhu feel emotional is Cui Zhu?" He looked up at me with scorching heat in his eyes, but the distance of several feet made me feel hot.My heart was trembling, but I didn't dare to look directly at it anymore, I hurriedly dodged it. He said softly: "I'm still looking for it, but actually..." "Still looking?" The aunt's voice was amused, "Young Master Zhu, aren't you contradicting yourself? Just now I had a long talk with me about how to be entrusted to others with love. At this time, in front of your wife, you said Still looking for it?? Isn’t it embarrassing Cuizhu? Isn’t this still cheating? It’s better to be like Mr. Meng, to have a wife and concubine, as long as the woman can accept it, don’t you agree, Mr. Meng?”

"Hahaha, you know women best." Meng Longtan stepped up, nodded with a big smile, and said to Ding Xiang and the others, "What's so interesting about looking at paintings? Let's go, let's go drink!" Reluctant, he dragged Lilac and Lily out of Yaju's study. I stared at the window lattice in a daze. His words were very touching, but what my aunt said was even more correct.No one can say beautiful words, but if things are not beautiful, it is useless to cover them up. To be moved by that look in his eyes, I am so stupid that I will never change after repeated teaching!

In the past two days, my aunt started her retreat at Xiaozhu Minggu, and handed over all the affairs to me.When she was about to retreat, she looked at me and said: "There are arrays everywhere in the valley. If you touch them, you should check carefully, and don't make any more trouble. As for them, you don't have to worry about them, just worry about them when I come out." I nodded in response, and my aunt said: "I know you think this place is disturbed and unbearably disturbed recently. I did this for peace in the forest. Their hearts are outward, and they must have realized something after seeing this. Yes. After a while, everything will return to calm. You have performed very well recently, and you are the one who knows my thoughts best. Then I will gradually teach you the supernatural power of Huari. Wanhualin is going to be yours after all. in hand."

I feel a little guilty in my heart, anyway, this time, I have a heart of rebellion.I want to save Peony, but I really can't bear to be reduced to ashes by the fire.I only do it this time, after this time, no matter how my aunt punishes me, I am willing. It is because of peony that I understand my own heart.Only then did I realize that those so-called expressions can only be real through experience. I responded one by one, activated the formation formula, ordered Jin Jiayu to lead the female soldiers to protect the dharma, and my aunt began to concentrate on cultivating the ninth level of the Huanri magical power.

My aunt's magic tools are all in Xiaozhu's secret room, and I am familiar with the magic circle there.The Corolla, which can reach the Seven Heavens, is easily in my hands. My Blazing Fire Secret Art still needs to be practiced one more level, I have to step up my practice, and then rush to the seventh heaven! Qingxin Jue can calm the mind and calm the mind, and can concentrate the mind.All thoughts and magic powers start with a calm and clear mind.But this formula of clearing the heart is indeed not a panacea. The flag does not move, the wind does not move, but the heart is moving.How can a person live without heart, affection, love and hatred?The Buddha said that all appearances are vain...but I am not a Buddha.

My aunt hoped that I could be calm, but I couldn't! The waterfall is still there, rushing like a song.The water splashes, the pool is uncertain, and the heart is restless.Raise your hand towards the water, and go against the wave to melt the frost in your palm, and the frost will wave away in succession, stirring up a big wave.There was a rumbling vibration, and it fell into the rain in mid-air! Hearing the sound of slightly heavy footsteps, I stiffened my back slightly, and said softly, "What are you doing here?" He smelled the faint cold fragrance, and even his breath.There is a touch of sadness, mixed with the breath of the world.Zhu Xiaolian, unconsciously, his aura has been incorporated into the soul, I want to get rid of it but not get rid of it, want to forget it but forget it.

"I heard that you usually stay here." His voice was hoarse than usual, with slumped difficulty, "There is something I want to tell you." I turned my head, and the moisture on my body dried up little by little with my steps, but it was just a trace in my heart, but it couldn't be wiped off no matter what.He is a little thin, his body is like bamboo and his eyes are like stars, but at this time his expression is tired and pale. I approached him step by step, looked at him, and tried my best to keep calm: "Speak." Perhaps I have never been so calm, but there was a trace of hesitation on his face.He was silent for a while, and said softly: "I once said, to be your friend, I want you to learn how to get along with others. But I failed to do it when I came back this time...Although you always have a single expression, but I can see your annoyance too."

Indeed, I am bored.I'm tired of seeing these hypocrisy, tired of my aunt's capriciousness, tired of myself being hard to keep quiet... He pursed his lips slightly and continued: "You don't like Wanhualin being disturbed like this, and you don't like us staying here like this. You advised me to leave, but I didn't listen, that's because I..." I interrupted him: "The owner here is my aunt, not me. I have no right to be bored, let alone let Mr. Zhu listen to me." Zhu Xiaolian looked at me: "Are you still friends?" I was silent, he nodded and said: "I understand, I just came to inquire about Mudan's situation. Since she is no longer here, I won't bother you here."

Since he came to look for Peony, why bother with Cuizhu?Now that I have married her as my wife, why do I still keep thinking about Peony?Must be so half-hearted?Or do men like to hug left and right?In this case, why do you still say those beautiful words?Are all women really so gullible? I don't like the game my aunt set up, but the result after trying it is even more chilling.It doesn't matter if you leave, this place is not Taoyuan Xianyu for them. I turned around and said, "Sorry, I can't see you off." "Shaoyao." He called me from behind, I stopped and looked back at him slightly. But seeing him showing a guilty expression, his lips trembled and said: "Peony, did she die in the fire?" I felt a little terrified, and couldn't help turning around to stare at his paler expression.He looked up and saw me like this, the pain in his eyes deepened, and he smiled miserably: "Is it really true? In the painting..." "painting?" He looked at me: "Do you remember what I said about the murals in the ancient temple?" I nodded, and he said: "For the first time, I didn't know how to enter the painting. But after Peony sent me out... I obviously stayed in the painting for a while, but when I went out, I found that the outside was just a moment. Not long afterward, I discovered that Peony was trapped in a place like a hell of refining fire... and her expression was very painful, so..." I couldn't help asking: "How did you get in again?" He went on to say: "There is a master in that ancient temple, whose Dharma name does not change. He taught us to unify our minds, so the three of us came in. I didn't stay outside for too long, but this forest is Hasn't it been many days?" Sure enough, with the help of an expert, he was able to break the talisman. Indeed, although I didn't expect him to go and return so quickly.But it is true that many days have passed, and in the outside world, is it just a moment? Zhu Xiaolian said: "Peony was purely helping me at that time. If you offended your aunt because of it. I went out soon, but found that the scene in the painting had changed, and came in again immediately. But it was still too late, and Peony was no longer in the forest. , I can’t find it anywhere. However, in a short time, many days have passed in the forest. She must have suffered for me for many days, and I have caused her trouble. If I had known this, I would have been worse... " "At the beginning?" I couldn't help blurting out my heart and asked. He glanced at me and shook his head sadly: "It's meaningless to talk about it now. When you came back, your aunt's attitude changed drastically. But in order to stay, I have to..." While talking, suddenly Hearing footsteps. Cuizhu hurriedly came with the scroll, behind her were a group of sisters, Hou Xia and Meng Longtan, all of them followed? Meng Longtan yelled impatiently: "Zhu Xiaolian, you are so hypocritical and show-off that I can't even drink wine!" Cuizhu turned her head and glared at him fiercely, saying: "You don't have to follow." Meng Longtan curled his lips: "My big and small wives have to come here, they are not decent at all!" Cuizhu reasoned with him lazily, without even looking at me, she arrived in front of Zhu Xiaolian in a few steps. Unfolding the scroll, he said anxiously to Zhu Xiaolian: "You have been painting it without sleep, why did it suddenly have to be burned? Fortunately, I discovered it early, and this paper can... otherwise it would be destroyed!" I was taken aback for a moment, he worked so hard for this painting, and actually wanted to burn it?Thinking about what he said again, my chest felt suffocated for a while, and my heart beat like a hammer. He looked a little surprised and reached out to grab it.Cui Zhu stepped aside and said, "I won't let you burn it." He said: "If I don't burn it, how can I give it to Peony? Since she is dead, I should let her see this painting, right?" I had already expected it, but after he said it like this, it still caused a sharp pain in the lower part of my heart. He looked at the green bamboo and said, "Thank you for helping me for so many days, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay." Cuizhu's eyes were covered with water, and he choked up and said, "I didn't do anything, just pretend to be a couple." Pretending to be a couple?They were just pretending to be a couple?Has he never lost his love for Peony? I stared at him blankly, and saw the water in Cuizhu's eyes again.I misunderstood him! He was never confused from beginning to end.His aunt invited her with her beauty and seduced her with her glory, but he still kept his heart.Just like what he said, when one thought arises, love arises, and they hold each other's hands until they grow old! As he said, the world is not all deceit. My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't control the surging emotions in the chaos, so I blurted out: "Peony is still alive." As soon as I said it, I immediately regretted it, seeing everyone was stunned, but only Zhu Xiaolian had a faint smile on his face, he looked at me: "Shaoyao, you will eventually..." I was stunned, just waiting to step back.But Green Bamboo moved upon hearing the wind, and shot very quickly, with both hands releasing tiny bamboo needles to dart at me.At the same time, he shouted: "Lily!" Lily came in response to the sound, and the bamboo forest twisted with a flick of her palm, and in an instant a vine swallowed like a snake. I retreated three steps in a row, instinctively wanting to resist, but there was a flash of lightning in my heart.Forget it, I originally planned to save Peony.It's just that I haven't been able to perform at my best, so I've been practicing hard.Not to mention, I just hope that Zhu Xiaolian will leave sooner, and secondly, I don't want to implicate these sisters. But at this time, since they already knew, why did I fight to make my aunt notice again?The thought flickered, and the fingers hung down.In an instant, the long vines added to my body, and then a ball of brilliance shone, and the bamboo needles went straight into the air veins and sealed me immobile.
