[4700-word chapter] Chapter 219 The days when I lived with Zixia
In the days that followed, Wu Ma never gave up the idea of finding the Moonlight Treasure Box through divine decree.
During the first few days of constant surveillance, Wu Ma basically confirmed that Zixia really did not take away the Moonlight Treasure Box.
Although Zixia was once very afraid that her sister would follow her, but even in the night and the terrifying atmosphere when Qingxia forged by Wu Ma seemed to have arrived, Zixia was so frightened that she held the purple-green sword tremblingly all night long.
To the extent that he didn't show any intention of using the Moonlight Treasure Box.
Liu Yanzhi also lost all news. For half a month, she never took control of Zixia's body. Or maybe she simply wandered into another time and space at the same time as the dancing horse triggered the release of the Moonlight Box.
Therefore, soon after, Chun Sanniang's destined visit according to the plot became Wu Ma's only hope to see Liu Yanzhi again. Wu Ma prayed that Liu Yanzhi would be safe, otherwise he would probably find Liu Yanzhi back at all costs.
After spending the first few days of panic, Zixia became more relaxed, and Wu Ma also temporarily gave up searching for the Moonlight Treasure Box, making random guesses about whether the treasure box might have been stolen by the pangolin or the scorpion and snake spirits in the Calabash Baby.
Stolen.
Their lives began to become monotonous but interesting.
During the day, Zixia led the dancing horse to patrol the mountains in the name of her master.
The two of them visited every col, every valley, every forest, and every corner of Huaguo Mountain, naming every landscape and stone worth naming.
The terrible thing is that Zixia almost feels that every landscape and every stone has a meaning worthy of naming. You can imagine how the Supreme Treasure came to Huaguo Mountain five hundred years later and was shocked and helpless when he saw the rocks with names engraved all over the mountain.
Feeling.
Zixia is responsible for carving words with the purple-green sword. Her words are particularly beautiful. Even on stones that are only the size of rice grains, they can be neat, neat, fresh and pleasant.
The two people discussed together what names would suit them best. But Dancing Horse's opinions were often just for reference, really just for reference, and were almost never used.
Zixia is always the one who makes the final decision.
She gave each branch of Shuilian Cave a name. She called the cave she lived in the Fairy Cave, the cave where the donkey lived was called the Pegasus Meteor Cave, and the cave where the dancing horse lived was called the Suan Cave.
Dancing Horse strongly protested against this.
The reason for his objection was that since he gave the cave the name Fortune Telling Cave because he could tell fortunes, why not add another word and name it Fortune Telling Cave. The current word "Fortune Telling Cave" seems to give people the impression that it is a cave.
Well, does it count as a hole? Or maybe it doesn’t even count as a hole?
Moreover, the pronunciation of Shuandong sounds a bit like "Garlic Cave", and the smell is too strong, which will seriously affect the perception of Wu Ma's former residence by tourists who may visit Shuiliandong five hundred years from now.
Zixia pointed to the position above the dancing horse's "former residence" and said, "The entrance to your cave is too narrow. If you want it to be more grand, it is only enough to write two words. Besides, fortune telling sounds vulgar, but it is really powerful.
, Count the heavens and the earth, count me, count you, count yourself, it’s very beautiful just thinking about it.”
Until the day when the story of Journey to the West came to an end, Wu Ma could not persuade Zixia to change the name of Suangdong.
The next half month was spent in endless mountain patrols and naming. Zixia carved her and Wu Ma's mark on the entire Huaguo Mountain.
During the subsequent naming process, Wu Ma realized that his cave had received extremely generous treatment. After that, those stones, whether beautiful, ugly, big, or small, were given by Zixia some completely inexplicable things.
Some of the names are long, some are short, and some are like a half-sentence cut out of a sentence.
Wu Ma first expressed a positive attitude and strong interest in the naming cause of Huaguo Mountain. In the end, due to Zixia's arbitrary actions, she finally gave up the final treatment and allowed the other party to treat the poor, helpless and innocent rocks in the mountain.
"Don't be bored. It seems meaningless now. After three months and five months, three years and five years, thirty and fifty years, you may look back and find it very interesting.
ah.
Maybe you will find it funny and laugh at what you were thinking in your head at that time. Why did you write these meaningless words and carve out so many meaningless words? It's not like writing a letter or an article. It's just like a lunatic.
."
"It's all your names. Of course you find them interesting."
"That's why I want you to watch it. If you have watched it, you are a witness. You are a participant."
Wu Ma's resistance was ineffective and he continued to follow Zixia to participate in the great cause of carving. However, in order to express his resolute protest attitude, he never looked at the words Zixia carved on those stones. There was nothing he could do about the particularly large ones.
Apart from carving, Zixia would also go to the market with her dancing horse, and bought countless pieces of furniture that were elegant enough and had a very uniform style that could be placed in the water curtain cave. Some of them were beautiful but completely useless.
Jewelry, buy those that are not available, various daily necessities that are used now, or are not used now, that may be used in a certain period of time in the future, but more likely will never be used.
Every time she goes to the market, Zixia takes Wu Ma with her, which makes Wu Ma feel that there is a sense of black humor, because he has never gone shopping with a woman in the city before the earth fell into the apocalypse, and he is still in the retail industry.
In the not very developed world of ancient mythology, I feel like I have lost my feet while wandering the streets.
Zixia will ask Wu Ma's opinion before buying anything, but just like when she chooses a name, she never adopts Wu Ma's opinion unless Wu Ma's opinion is completely consistent with her original idea.
Zixia said: "You don't appreciate it anyway, and you don't like it anyway. Just buy it and don't use it."
Dancing Horse said: "I really have no choice, so I have no choice but to use it."
Zixia's face suddenly turned very dark at that time, but it got better in an instant.
Zixia really made Shuiliandong look like a place where she would live forever.
She cut holes in every suitable position, smoothed the bottom of the holes, and placed exquisite jewelry bought from the market. Then, in order to match the light in the hole and the shape and temperament of the hole, she made countless
Adjust the position of the jewelry and polish the shape of the holes.
She even polished every rock wall and stone floor in Shuiliandong.
Some special locations were also frosted, and the frosting effect she produced was so delicate and textured that even dancing horses from a thousand years later would be amazed.
But her plan to build a permanent residence really surprised Wu Ma and left her helpless. Even the Jade Emperor could not guess that the Lingxiao Palace would one day be smashed to pieces by Bi Mawen named Sun Wukong. How could Zixia know that she would live there forever?
It's in Shuiliandong.
Every day at meal time, Zixia would go to the market to buy vegetables. Wu Ma asked her to buy a little more at a time, but Zixia said that buying vegetables was a feeling, and she could not buy vegetables for the sake of buying vegetables. That would be too utilitarian and would
Lose feeling.
Zixia bought the vegetables and asked Wu Ma to cook.
Dancing Horse said: "You are a fairy and you won't be hungry even if you don't eat for hundreds of years. Why do you have to force me to cook?"
Zixia said: "When I was an immortal, I ate and drank every day. What's the point of being an immortal if I don't eat or drink?"
You should feel honored. I have never eaten food cooked by a mortal. You are the first, so you should take it seriously."
Wu Ma deliberately made the rice unpalatable, but Zixia would applaud and praise it every time, and then ate every bite. After finishing the meal, Wu Ma would be rewarded by taking him to fly to the sky and visit the beautiful mountains and rivers around.
Wu Ma clearly remembers that this kind of sightseeing tour seemed to have taken him on the last journey to the West. Qingxia, who played Bai Jingjing, also took him on it, and they still saw the same scenery. The only difference was that one took him five hundred years ago and the other five hundred years ago.
A hundred years later, for some reason, Wu Ma suddenly felt extremely sad when thinking of this.
Wu Ma wanted to tell Zixia that he had actually seen these scenery on a plane before. Of course, the wind was not so strong at that time, and the flying was not so high and low, so scary.
Dancing Horse finally said nothing.
While Zixia was demonstrating her driving skills, Wu Ma knew for the first time that she was airsick. Once, she actually vomited.
Zixia looked on and said: I'm sorry, I will never fly with you again...
All in all, Zixia's gratitude to Wu Ma successfully caused Wu Ma's transformation.
He tried to show off his cooking skills a little bit, but of course he still made some reservations. Although the dishes he made were delicious, they tasted worse than the dishes he cooked for Yuwen Jianxue when he went south to Jiangdu.
This period of cooking also reminded Wu Ma of the days he and Yuwen Jianxue spent together in Jiangdu, which were originally happy, short, and profound, but when he recalled them countless times, he felt sad and full of depression.
After all, these days are still very different from those days.
Huaguoshan is not Jiangdu. There is no endless drizzle that seems to have no end. There is no Yang Guang who grits his teeth just thinking about Yuwen Jianxue. There is no snacks in Jiangdu that can’t be replaced every day. There is no uniqueness that is unique to Jiangdu.
Emotional girl.
Zixia is not Yuwen Jianxue, she does not have Yuwen Jianxue's aloofness, she does not bear a blood feud, she does not have a deep affection for the dancing horse, and she does not have an unexplainable resentment towards the dancing horse.
Zixia's innocence is greater than her sobriety, and she is full of curiosity and love for the human world. This is something that both Yuwen Jianxue and Wu Ma once had, but have lost forever.
The dancing horse at this time is not the dancing horse at that time. He has almost lost the last bit of warmth and respect for this era and the Tang Dynasty. He stayed in the Tang Dynasty for the last time just because of Li Hongyu's pattern and friendship.
After this divine decree ends, he will fly far away to follow Yuwen Jianxue's footsteps.
From now on, his story will become a legend, or Yao will be buried in the pile of bones that unified the world in the Tang Dynasty, and will never be known to future generations.
Later, Zixia also tried to learn cooking skills from Wu Ma and cooked for Wu Ma.
The food Zixia cooks always smells like oil lamps, and there is always a faint floral fragrance floating on her body.
Wu Ma said: "It would be great if you could change the fragrance in the rice with the fragrance on your body. It would be perfect."
Zixia never cooked for Dancing Horse again.
But she still kept trying to cook, and most of the time it was still very unpalatable. She managed to eat a few bites and then drank it all.
Wu Ma told her that it is very shameful to waste food, because no one knows how many people in the world will starve to death because they cannot eat food at the same time you throw away food. Zixia took all the unpalatable rice out of anger.
Eat it yourself.
Zixia said: One day I will make delicious food without the smell of lamp oil. By then, you will not be able to taste it anymore.
Dancing Horse did not wait for that day.
In fact, Zixia would secretly smell the food she threw away, and there would always be the smell of lamp oil.
This girl is hopeless, Wu Ma thought.
Wu Ma occasionally feels that living like this is actually a good life. It is a life that he should not enjoy in the repressive Tang Dynasty and the divine decree that should be adventurous.
Occasionally, he would feel very satisfied - it turned out that without the ruthless interference of the Supreme Treasure, Zixia would live such a happy and ordinary life.
This is something the movie never tells him.
Of course, there are occasionally less than perfect days.
One day while shopping in the market, Dancing Horse suddenly couldn't find Zixia.
When the sun was about to set, he found Zixia in a daze at the base of the city wall where Zixia confessed her love to Zhizunbao and told him that he was destined to be her sweetheart.
Wu Ma walked up to Zixia and waved his hand in front of her eyes, causing Zixia to come back to her senses.
"Are you stupid?" Wu Ma said.
"I always feel like something happened here,"
Zixia shook her head, her expression a little solemn,
"Hey, do you think people really have past lives?"
"You're a god and you're asking me?"
"There is no specialization in the art. I am just a lamplighter for Buddha. How do I know about reincarnation?"
"When you gods gather together, you don't just chat and gossip, why don't you just communicate with each other and share what you have learned?"
"Buddha's lamp must be on every day, so I almost never left the lampstand before."
"Didn't you say that you eat and drink every day? How can you drink if you don't get off the lampstand?"
"You talk a lot of nonsense."
"Then how do you know that your sweetheart is the one who can pull out the purple and green sword? After all, you can't see anyone..."
Zixia was about to answer when she suddenly realized, "Hey, do you think I'm telling lies again? Why should I tell you? You are just a very ordinary servant I hired with money, and you talk so much... Let's go!"
"
"Where is the money? Where is it going?"
"go home!"
Zixia walked far away, then suddenly turned her head and looked at the base of the city wall for a long time.
It wasn't until Wu Ma shook her eyes with his hand again that she glared at Wu Ma.
"You're so annoying."
I went to Shuiliandong in a bad mood.
Every day from now on, Zixia would go under the city wall to take a look and touch the wall.
When Wu Ma asked her, she didn't speak or look at him. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes, like a dewdrop on a blade of grass in an autumn morning, swayed by the breeze and about to fall.
After settling in Shuiliandong, Zixia never asked anyone to pull out her purple-green sword.
Even though she was in a crowded market, Wu Ma occasionally mentioned the sword and her sweetheart, but she just looked around with confused eyes, not knowing where she was.
Wu Ma asked her: "Hey, why don't you find someone to draw the sword?"
"It's strange," Zixia said: "I think they all look like walking corpses. They are all gray and none of them are colorful. Gray men are like corpses. Even if I can pull out my sword, I won't
You might like it."
Wu Ma shook his head, "You are hopeless."
Zixia would come to the market every day and look at the vast gray sea of people. Her eyes would occasionally glance at the dancing horses, but her eyes would become darker and darker, and then they would quickly pass by.
Wu Ma once thought that Zixia was suffering from severe color blindness. And it was probably because she burned her eyes in Tathagata Buddha's lampstand for too long that her eyes were burned out.
But later his tests showed that her eyes were still very easy to use when looking at inanimate things, including creatures other than humans.
Looking at it this way, you can only see gray, which is probably God's malicious curse on Zixia. It's the same as the legend that the man who can pull out the purple-green sword is Zixia's sweetheart, it's a curse.
For a while, Wu Ma thought that until the day Zixia left Shuilian Cave forever, she would not find the person who looked colorful in the sea of people. Because Zixia never let anyone try to pull out Zixia again.
Green sword.
The days pass by in such seemingly endless repetition.
Name the stones and landscapes, go to the market, buy furniture, decorate the water curtain cave, cook, watch the crowds of people, and go to the base of the city wall to be in a daze.
Occasionally I fly in the sky, of course only Zixia flies alone...
Until the day Bai Jingjing found Shuiliandong.
And this Bai Jingjing has the same face as Qingxia...

Dear Taoist followers, please give Wu Ma, Qingxia, Liu Yanzhi, Li Hongyu, and Yuwen Jianxue a thumbs up...because they all appeared in the recent plot at the same time.
