She raised her head in surprise and looked at the calm man next to her. A trace of surprise flashed in Li Mochou's eyes. It was obvious that she was about to get the Heart Sutra that she had dreamed of, but for some reason, Li Mochou was not at all happy now. Instead, she was just...
Infinite melancholy.
She did not respond to Dong Zhang immediately, but lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Lu Yao who was laughing and playing with the divine eagle in the distance, and said calmly: "Okay."
She actually wanted to ask Dongzhang, didn't he agree to 'imprison' her for three years? Now that one year has not come yet, why...
But after glancing at the cold-looking man beside her, Li Mochou's words turned into a faint "good" in the end. No one knew the bitterness in her heart.
"Well, tomorrow, Dragon Girl will personally teach you the practice of the scriptures. After you learn it, you can go down the mountain."
Dongzhang nodded, turned around and walked back. He paused slightly after taking two steps, turned his back to Li Mochou and said: "Remember, in the future, if you are bullied, you can do whatever you want."
Tell me your name, and no matter what you do, the people coming out of the ancient tomb won't be able to let them point their fingers, so I'll take care of it for you."
After Dongzhang finished speaking, he walked straight out of the mountain. He didn't see Li Mochou, who had his back turned to her. At this moment, her eyes were filled with mist, her eyes were already red, and she was on the verge of falling into tears. She originally thought that her heart was full of mist.
She is already as solid as a rock. At the age of sixteen, she has already been wandering alone in the world, asking herself what kind of situation she has never seen.
But she didn't expect to be broken by this man's two simple words. The softness and key in her heart was undoubtedly the word caring. She had always been a loner, and she had also fantasized about being loved by others.
The feeling of care.
Dongzhang didn't say many words, but every word touched the softest part of her heart. Once upon a time, she, Li Mochou, actually had a "backstage"...
The next day.
Xiao Longnu took Li Mochou back to the ancient tomb and bowed to Lin Chaoying's portrait first. Li Mochou hesitated for a moment, and then followed suit.
Seeing Li Mochou's heartfelt salute, Xiao Longnu's eyes flashed with tenderness and said: "Senior Sister, I will teach you the formula from the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, please remember it."
As she spoke, she slowly recited the teachings in the Heart Sutra one by one, while Li Mochou, who was opposite him, always looked a little dazed. Many times, Xiao Longnu was forced to interrupt and stop repeating, for no other reason, because Li Mochou simply
Somewhat absent-minded.
Looking at the latter with a slight frown, Xiao Longnu said: "Senior sister, concentrate and meditate."
Li Mochou glanced at the patient Xiao Longnu with a slightly embarrassed look, nodded and said, "I understand."
The Jade Girl Heart Sutra emphasizes thinking less and having no thoughts. If Li Mochou practices it in her current state, something will definitely go wrong. There is no way Xiao Longnu can't tolerate it without saying a word to remind her.
But after all, she is his senior sister, so it is not easy to say too much. Just stumbling like this, it took three days for Li Mochou to write down the formulas in the Jade Girl Heart Sutra one by one. During this period, Xiao Longnu was worried and worried.
After asking her several times, I felt relieved when I found that nothing was missing.
"Senior sister, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra requires two people to practice it together. I remember you have a disciple. If you think it is suitable, you can ask her to practice with you. Our ancestors practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra together with our master.
"
Xiao Longnu couldn't help but remind Li Mochou, who looked a little dazed.
"Well, I understand."
With a slight frown on her forehead, Xiao Longnu turned around and walked out of the ancient tomb. Just as she was about to walk through the corridor, Li Mochou behind her suddenly said hesitantly at Xiao Longnu's back: "Junior sister... thank you..."
The corner of her mouth curled up, but Xiao Longnu didn't respond. She walked straight through the corridor, and her figure disappeared around the corner from time to time.
After seeing her leave, Li Mochou stared blankly at the empty stone chamber, sighed deeply, and then walked out of the ancient tomb.
............
Three days later.
The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.
There was a prosperous scene outside the ancient tomb. Dongzhang was sitting alone on the railing under the pergola, with one foot dangling on the ground and one leg bent up on the railing. He leaned against a wooden stake and rested his elbows on his knees, dangling.
With a small bottle of wine, I looked at the Chongyang Palace in the distance and wondered what I was thinking.
Behind him, Grandma Lu Qingsun and others were passing through the hall in a very busy manner. Soon, Xiao Longnu walked quietly behind Dong Zhang and said, "Okay."
At this moment, behind Dongzhang, Gongsun Shi, A Gang, Granny Sun, Lu Yao, Lu Qing and others were all standing still. Lu Yao had two long swords stuck diagonally on his waist, and he was carrying a long sword on his back.
There is a gray cloth strip, and you can't see what is inside, but just looking at the length, you can tell that it must be Dongzhang's black iron sword.
"Let's go."
Smiling and looking at the bright sun hanging above his head, Dongzhang jumped off the railing and walked down the mountain alone. Everyone behind him followed suit. Soon, everyone reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. What they saw were two forked roads, one on the left and the other on the left.
One right.
Dongzhang took the lead and walked straight to the official road on the left. However, among the crowd, one person separated from the crowd and walked in the opposite direction, walking to the right. It was Li Mochou who was alone.
No one said much during the whole process, not a single word, as if they didn't know each other. The people on the left and the right gradually drifted away until they could no longer see each other.
"Why, are you worried about her?"
Without looking back, Dongzhang also knew that Xiao Longnu's expression must be a little unbearable at this moment.
Shaking her head slightly, Longnu asked, "Why don't you let Senior Sister follow us?"
"Ah......"
"Hasn't the goal been achieved? She can be free long ago, so why should she be 'tied'?"
Dongzhang raised his hand to block the scorching sunshine, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Dragon Girl was startled when she heard the words, and then she felt relieved. Yes, Li Mochou's mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes as early as the Sword Tomb. In other words, Li Mochou had a conscience again at that time.
'.
Isn't that enough? The purpose of 'imprisoning' her is to make her forgive her sins. Now that she has awakened, why should she be tied up? She is a free person to begin with.
"Brother, will we see our uncle again in the future?"
Lu Qing was the softest one. Seeing Li Mochou's lonely back when they parted, she had long wanted to say goodbye. However, Dong Zhang had already issued an 'order', that is, no one could talk to Li Mochou when they parted.
Don’t worry, take the initiative to speak.
"Yes, who can say for sure what will happen in the future..."
Dongzhang was light-weight, and Lu Yao helped carry the black sword. This little girl is not weak now. If something happens, not many people can get into her, so she can act as a temporary 'sword slave' for Dongzhang.
"In these two months, I will take you to see a 'river' that is bigger than a lake."
"Where is that place?"
When the girls from the ancient tomb heard this, their eyes lit up. When they were at Dasheng Pass, Lu Guanying took them to see the huge lake. They had been yearning for the scenery there for a long time. Every time they thought about it, they felt relaxed and happy. So
