[Lotus Lantern] Promise with one's body

"Are you going to give up this body of cultivation to save him from becoming an immortal?" Ao Cunxin asked her with her head tilted.

"No, the third princess. I want to be a fairy couple with him, and I don't want him to die." Yang Chan's smile was a bit bleak.

"But Yang Chan, are you willing to let Liu Yanchang know that you don't hesitate to mutilate yourself for him, and use your own blood to make him live forever?"

Ao Cunxin's question made Yang Chan's pale face even paler.

"You treat Liu Yanchang with the same affection as he treats you. If he knows that you are doing this, harming your cultivation base and spiritual body to change his fate, he will probably not accept your affection." Ao Cunxin Like a naughty child, every sentence he asked innocently hurt Yang Chan's heart.

"Then I can only hide it from him for the rest of my life." Yang Chan said coldly.

"So, now that I know all this, are you going to kill me?" Ao Cunxin asked with a smile.

Yang Chan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ao Cunxin continued: "Three Holy Mothers are kind-hearted, so naturally they would not kill innocent people." She then smiled slyly and said, "From this point of view, I can only be the villain."

"Third princess! Why do you want to meddle in this nosy business?" Although Yang Chan held the lotus lantern in her hand, she still didn't want to meet Ao Cunxin in battle.

Ao Cunxin sighed, and said, "I don't want to take care of it, but... there is no way."

There were only a few words in the merit book, but it made Ao Cunxin understand how difficult it was.It's about Yang Chan, a goddess who ranks higher than her, a person who is kind to her, Yang Jian's closest relative in this world, she knows this is difficult.

She has experienced delusion due to infatuation, and she also knows how difficult it is to let go of the demon.She was able to get rid of her attachment to Yang Jian, except that Yang Jian really couldn't give her what she wanted, and the sea witch simply took away her madness from the bottom of the pot.And Yang Chan is different, she gets along with Liu Yanchang day and night very affectionately, her love has been equally responded by Liu Yanchang, she is not alone in this relationship, naturally she is more and more addicted to it.

The love between a man and a woman is a swamp, and it is difficult to get out once you fall into it.

"Yang Chan, do you think Liu Yanchang is willing to live with you forever?" Ao Cunxin said suddenly.

Yang Chan's heart suddenly trembled, she had never thought about this question, or she deliberately avoided it.

"With me accompanying him day and night, Yanchang is naturally willing."

"Really?" Ao Cunxin asked back.

However, before Yang Chan could answer, she turned her head and smiled at Liu Yanchang who came back from the mountain: "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Liu."

"It's not hard, I just met the fourth aunt who was carrying a chicken on the road, so I bought it from her. Madame, let's go into the house."

"So, Cunxin is bothering the Xian couple." Ao Cunxin followed him into the house with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, Ao Cunxin seemed to have forgotten the previous confrontation with Yang Chan, and continued to enjoy the treatment as a distinguished guest generously.

After the chicken was plucked and boiled, Ao Cunxin ate with gusto, but Yang Chan was always worried that Ao Cunxin would act rashly, so she didn't eat much.

"Ma'am, you have worked hard to take care of the whole family. I see that your complexion is not very good recently. Eat a piece of chicken to make up for it." Liu Yanchang picked up a piece of chicken wing for Yang Chan.

"Sir, there are guests watching." After Yang Chan reminded, Liu Yanchang turned his head and saw Ao Cunxin's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"The third princess laughed." After all, he was a scholar with a thin skin, so he lowered his head embarrassingly.

"Where is it, I'm the one who bothered you today." Ao Cunxin hurriedly waved his hands.

"Speaking of which, Cunxin envies the deep love between the two couples." Ao Cunxin said with a smile.

Liu Yanchang wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that the third princess had an unhappy marriage with his brother-in-law, so he stopped talking, and only lowered his head to eat two mouthfuls of food.

Yang Chan felt mixed feelings for a moment, she didn't know if Ao Cunxin was sarcastically hitting her by saying this, but what she said was so natural, it didn't seem to be ironic.

"The third princess is polite, eat vegetables." Yang Chan could only interrupt and reveal this chapter in the end.

However, just after Yang Chan finished speaking, she saw that Liu Yanchang suddenly couldn't even hold the chopsticks and fell down on the dining table.

"Yanchang!" Yang Chan exclaimed in shock.

"Yang Chan, don't worry, I just applied ambergris to him, and now he is having a good dream." Ao Cunxin Shi Shiran said.

"Third Princess, what exactly is your intention?!" Yang Chan seemed to be really angry, her face was covered with a layer of frost.

"Me? I said I came to be that villain. Yang Chan, do you want to make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet on your self-righteous relationship between husband and wife."

"Self-righteous? Three princesses, you were not such a person before." Yang Chan looked at Ao Cunxin and shook her head.

"Three Holy Mothers, people change." Ao Cunxin said with a smile.

"Even though the original third princess was unruly and capricious, she would not despise other people's feelings." Yang Chan looked at Ao Cunxin and said slowly.

"I'm not belittling the relationship between you as a husband and wife, I just want you to see clearly what kind of relationship is the so-called real life together."

"You just said you wanted to make a bet with me, how do you want to bet?"

"Let's bet, bet on Liu Yanchang's will. If I win, I hope you will let go of your attachments and spend the rest of your days quietly. If I lose, I am willing to spend all of my cultivation base with Liu Yanchang, for He added 500 years to his life."

"No, the third princess, Yanchang and I don't need your cultivation." Yang Chan said with a smile: "This is a matter between the two of us. If I win, I only hope that you, the third princess, will act like you never have." know about it."

"Okay!" Ao Cunxin replied calmly.As she spoke, she raised her right palm: "We high-five as an oath."

Yang Chan also stretched out her right hand, and hit Ao Cun Xin's right palm with a sound of "slap".

————————————————————————————————————————

In Liu Yanchang's dream, there is the sound of books and the light of three thousand moons.He taught those children the way of Confucius and Mencius, and he taught them the six arts of poetry and calligraphy.In a blink of an eye, those Zongjiao children have grown into tall and straight teenagers, and they are on the way to Beijing to rush for the exam with expectations.

They are walking the same path as he did.

But now they were grown, and he was gray.

The difference between him and those scholars is that he met the goddess on Mount Hua.He married the goddess and gave birth to agarwood, and now the two live in seclusion together, living the life of a fairy couple.

The only regret is that Yang Chan is as beautiful and young as when they first met, but he has already entered his twilight years.With a beautiful face like a flower, accompanied by goose skin and white hair, it can't be said to be ironic.

Those who didn't know it thought that it was an old man and young wife, because he, a bad old man, was disrespectful and took over this beautiful girl.

Of course, most people know that his wife is the goddess of Huashan, who protects the people in Huashan and is respected.They all said that he had accumulated blessings for several lifetimes before marrying such a beautiful and kind-hearted goddess.

They didn't know how much he had suffered just to be with the Three Holy Mothers.

When Liu Yanchang returned home, San ShengMu had already prepared meals for him, but she saw that he couldn't hold the chopsticks again and again, and worry rose on her brows.

This is the mundane life, the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and the inevitable birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people.The vigor and vigor of the anti-Tiantiao back then has passed, and they have supported each other until now, and their son has married and moved away from Huashan. It seems that there are really only the two of them left in this world.

The days of the gods and couples crushed his lifespan in such a state of respect as a guest.

He knew that the deadline was not far away.He was just worried that his still young wife would not be able to accept his departure.

That day, heavy snow fell quietly, and he said to Yang Chan, "Chan'er, take me to see a snowfall." They all knew that this might be the last snowfall he could see.

Yang Chan pushed him out the door, only to see the sound of heaven and earth, snowflakes falling, like unpredictable fate like tenuous fate.

The snow fell on Yang Chan's body and shoulders, and also turned her hair white.He looked at his wife and said with a smile: "Chan'er, you see we really grow old together."

Liu Yanchang stretched out his hand to help Yang Chan wipe off the falling snow from his shoulders.However, before he could lift it up, the hand fell powerlessly.

"But I just wish I never met you in my life," he said.

These were the last words he said.

Yang Chan's tears fell down.

————————————————————————————————————————

He just felt as if he had a long dream, which seemed to cover his whole life.

However, when he woke up, he was still the teacher who taught, and his wife was quietly making tea.

"You're awake." She focused on the tea ceremony in her hand and said without raising her head.

"I had a dream."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that I would grow old with you forever."

The tea in Yang Chan's hand almost spilled out.She raised her head and jokingly said: "Old couple, old wives, but they still say such things in broad daylight, what should I do if the juniors hear me?"

Liu Yanchang walked over, held her hand and said, "What I said is true."

Yang Chan held him back and said, "I believe in you. We will grow old together."

Later, Liu Yanchang discovered that Yang Chan had lied to him.They didn't grow old together.They will always look young and cannot grow old.

As he grew older, his appearance and appearance did not change, and he would always stay in the best years of a man. He was healthier than a young man who escaped, and quicker than a stagnant old age.

The students in the private school have all grown up, but he is not old yet.

The children's children have grown up, and he is not yet old.

He, like her wife, was beyond death.Then he watched his close friends and close friends die one by one, watched his students die one by one, and watched the mortals who had a relationship with him die one by one in this world.

The years are countless, and the old man does not know where to go, and the most difficult thing is to stay in the world.

He's not a god, he can't ride the clouds, he just won't grow old and die.He is an immortal monster.

He gradually began to avoid the world, and also avoided his wife.

Later Yang Chan found him.

He lived in a cave, unkempt, and he was the elegant scholar who made her fall in love with him back then.

He stood on the cliff and said to her: "I only hope that I have never met you in my life."

At that time, the sky thundered, and a bolt of lightning flashed across, reflecting Yang Chan's face as pale as snow.

This was the last word he said to her, and then he jumped off the cliff.

The cold wind was blowing on the cliff, Yang Chan watched him fall off the cliff, but she didn't fly to catch him as she did when they met Huashan.

————————————————————————————————————————

He woke up on the way to Beijing to catch the exam. He was still a weak scholar in his weak years.In the dream he seemed to marry a fairy as his wife.He and her fairy wife went through many hardships and finally got together. Then one day when his old friend came to visit, he had a drink or two and fell asleep soundly, and dreamed of their ending in his sleep.

The ending of growing old together and the ending of the fairy couple.Two very different endings, but he said the same sentence at the end.

He said, "I only wish I had never met you in my life."

Now he woke up from that dream, but the moment he woke up, he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.Maybe that dream was reality, and now is the real dream.Or maybe it's all a dream.

Life is like a dream, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, even the great sages thousands of years ago couldn't tell what was real at the moment of waking up from the dream.

He went on with his melancholy dream, passing Huashan on the way.

Then he saw the destined fairy in the crowd, the Huashan goddess who he married as his wife in his dream.Next to her are other familiar female fairies.

He saw that Mr. Ding wanted to molest them.He clearly knew in his heart that they were not ordinary people, enough to protect him from ordinary people, but he still went forward without hesitation to rescue them.

Yang Chan thanked Yingying, but he turned his eyes away.

Because he offended the villain Ding, he was chased and beaten by the evil slaves sent, and fell down the cliff in a panic, but Yang Chan flew to catch him.

Everything, like fate, was staged in front of him one after another.He knew their ending, and then watched them step by step towards their destiny.

However, because he knew the ending, he was unwilling to take this path this time.He is just a mortal, he is just a cowardly scholar, he has no strength to fight against the heavenly soldiers and generals of the heavenly court, and he does not want to hurt innocent others.More importantly, he didn't have the courage to witness this earth-shattering love.

To witness the dryness of the sea and the decay of the rocks, to witness the age of the world.That was too heavy for him.His mortal life is not enough to carry this vigorous legend.

Yang Chan's eyes were hesitant to speak, and the silent and introverted feeling of wanting to speak but not available lingered between them like this.Only this time, Liu Yanchang would never go all the way to Yunnan to find a piece of agarwood for her. He avoided looking at her, and then, the Huashan Goddess really stopped appearing in front of him.

Until that day, he saw her fetching water to wash his soiled robe, under the cold moonlight, he saw that she did not use spells, but just like a mortal woman, she slowly picked up water and put it in the washing bucket , the moonlight fell on the water in the bucket, reflecting the unpredictable light of fate.

With slender hands, she washed his half-worn robe for him.She is obviously a fairy with strong spells, but at this moment she is just a folk woman, washing the clothes for her sweetheart in the middle of the night to prepare for the exam in Beijing.

The moonlight shone on Yang Chan's shoulders, bringing out a sense of loneliness for no reason.

"Miss Yang!" Liu Yanchang came out from the shadows.

"Master Liu." Yang Chan turned around.

"Miss Yang doesn't have to do this for me," he said.

"It was Yang Chan who took the liberty." She watched him bless him, and then her eyes fell on the clothes in the washing bucket by the well, and said, "Just let Yang Chan wash this clothes, it will be considered a beginning and an end."

She is a tall fairy, she was rejected by him, but she still smiled and said: "There is a beginning and an end."

At that moment, Liu Yanchang suddenly realized the powerful power of fate.

The next day when he bid farewell and started his journey again, Yang Chan made him a cup of tea and wished him a bright future.

The tea tray is made of agarwood.What is destined never disappears.

The hot tea scalded Yang Chan's fingers, and he held her hand in desperation. At this moment, Yang Chan's brother Yang Jian came slowly in a light robe.Yang Chan was visibly startled, and accidentally overturned the teacup on the side.

He saw their holding hands.

Yang Jian was furious, and the third eye flashed on his forehead.Yang Chan flashed in front of him, offering the lotus lantern.

But Liu Yanchang knew at that moment that he would probably never reach his capital in his lifetime.

He resolutely stood between Yang Jian and Yang Chan's siblings.

The lotus lamp and the power of the sky eye shot across his body.He just felt a pain in his heart.

"Yanchang!" Yang Chan exclaimed in shock.

"Chan'er...I'm... very happy to meet you again." He sighed and said, "In this life, the person I don't want to get involved is you, but unfortunately... I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry, but in the end I got you in trouble.Sorry, I don't want you to turn against your brother for me.I'm sorry, I wanted to just be a passer-by on your long journey, I don't want you to be crushed by Huashan because of me.Sorry, because I am a mortal, whether we live forever or never die, I will never be able to accompany you to the end freely.

I am sorry.

It's just that he couldn't even say these words.

The cicadas chirped outside, causing people to panic when they chirped for no reason.Ao Cunxin watched the stick of incense burn out, and said to Yang Chan, "I lost."

"No, I lost." Yang Chan looked at Liu Yanchang who was sleeping at his desk, his gaze was as soft as the water of goodness.
