I have a date with Chang'e

A few days later, I received a letter.An unusual looking letter.

I opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper. At this moment, I noticed the first unusual thing about this letter.

What is unusual is the letter paper. First of all, it is red, pure and gorgeous red; secondly, it exudes a unique smell, which touches the heart and soul - this is the other shore flower.Who would use Bianhua to make stationery?

I flipped through the content on the letter paper - "Your Nether Court today, waiting for your Excellency." This is a short text.

Continue to look down, where there should be a signature, but there is a sentence: "Bad karma and good results are born from each situation, and there is no rest in the five realms." This is the second unusual place.

Who invited me to Nether Garden?The three words Youmingyuan are unfamiliar enough. I thought for a while before I remembered that it seemed to be a separate courtyard of the Hades in the heavens. It was probably the place where the officials of the Hades lived when they went to heaven to report their duties.

So who from Hades invited me to meet?After thinking about it, I don't have a single acquaintance in Hades.

This strange invitation letter, should I go to the appointment?

Logically speaking, I should have hesitated.

But at that time, I repeatedly read the sentence at the signature - "bad karma and good fruit, born in every situation, reincarnation in the five realms, no rest for a while" - the word "Ksitigarbha" came to mind, even though I had never read it before. I have read the Ksitigarbha Sutra, but I automatically knew that it was a scripture from the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, I felt buzzing in my head, like scratching.I couldn't help but clenched the letter paper in my hand.

This feeling has been there before.For example, in order to get out of the illusion of the Moon Palace that day, when I had a reaction with the Taiyin Tree, it was also like the moment when I woke up from a dream that I often dreamed recently.

The difference is that the previous feeling was just buzzing and fleeting, but this time it lasted forever, just like a naughty kitten stretched out its sharp claws, scratching here and there, scratching here and there, Wreak havoc in my consciousness.

I closed my eyes to rest and calm my mind with luck, but no matter what, the feeling of scratching always lingered.I knew that this invitation had to be accepted.

But I don't know where the Nether Garden is in the heaven, and I was about to call a girl to ask, but when I opened the envelope, there was a geographical map on the back.The sender was really considerate and thoughtful.

I came to Nether Garden alone, and the waiter at the door led me in directly.I asked him who the owner was, but he didn't answer, just walking with his head buried.

I looked around uneasily, it was just an unsurprising courtyard, after a while I was led to a living room, and the waiter retreated silently.

I looked up and looked around, and there was no one in the hall.Seeing a study room on the left hand side, I went in, but there was no one in the study room.As he was thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of a paperweight on the table in a blink of an eye, which looked familiar—a jade unicorn.

I picked it up and took a closer look, and then I remembered a small deal with Cui Jun, the right judge of the underworld at the previous flat peach feast-I got her the young lin jade carving paperweight from the Qingdi Palace for her, and she gave me a plant unique to the underworld. Bana flower.This Bana flower is still placed in a vase in the Qin Room of the Moon Palace.

Could it be that the owner here is the right judge Cui Jun?I'm afraid she knew that I was Qingdi's daughter at that time.Looking back now, I can't help but feel cheated.

"Welcome from afar." A voice came from behind.

I hurriedly turned around and said "I dare not".

With a high waist and deep collar, black clothes with wide sleeves, the look is full of charm, and the three points of concentration are chilling.It seems that it is indeed Cui Jun, but compared to the restrained crown at the Peach Banquet, it really has a different purpose.

I had a feeling that something was wrong, but I still bowed calmly and said, "So it's Judge Cui. I don't know what's the reason for today's invitation?"

She looked me up and down, and said in a rather cold tone, "Burn that letter paper."

I was confused: "Why?"

She had a sneer on her face: "Aren't you reluctant? Burn it and your mind will be quiet."

So, I hurriedly took out the letter paper and burned it to ashes.The scratching and stinging pain in my consciousness, I endured all the way, and finally stopped.

She actually counted everything, and I was even more disturbed, but I remained calm: "Since I have come, why don't Judge Cui get straight to the point?"

She chuckled, "The story is too long, and I don't know where to start."

I thought to myself, "Which story?"

She smiled even wider, "You are the protagonist."

My mind turned, and I bowed: "Xiaoxian has no story. Please forgive me for not being with you today. Let me leave." I was about to leave.

She didn't stop me, she just said, "Aren't you curious?"

I said "Farewell" again and walked away.

Unexpectedly, she made a sudden attack and attacked from behind. I couldn't dodge in time and fell under her spell.

This spell is very strange, it seems that it has no killing effect.My heart became angry, even if my cultivation base is not high, I still have to fight him.

But before I could seal the seal, I suddenly had a splitting headache. When I turned around to look, Cui Jun was muttering something.Well, what kind of evil is this.I put my head in my hands, unable to fight back.

She arrogantly said: "Be good, maybe you can save yourself from suffering."

I gritted my teeth and insisted: "You and I, no resentment, no enmity——"

She sneered: "You don't even know your past, how can you be sure that you and I have no enmity?"

I was moved and said: "If there is a grudge, Chang'e would have warned me a long time ago."

She still sneered: "Chang'e? She's just a prisoner in the Moon Palace. What can she know?"

I was poked at the sore spot, gritted my teeth and snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

She shook her head and said something.Immediately, my headache disappeared.

I looked at her warily, she looked unpredictable.It's as if I've become her prey, ready to be slaughtered by her.

I took a deep breath, collected myself, found a chair and sat down, obviously not ready to resist.He said to her: "What kind of enmity do we have, please tell me, let me understand."

But she just hooked the corners of her lips, and said in a neutral manner: "Today I only tell your story, not our enmity."

I rolled my eyes: "You are welcome."

She smiled sinisterly: "It's good to be so good earlier." She looked distressed again, "Where do I start? The story in the early stage is too boring, but it is too abrupt to enter the Gao Dynasty directly, and it also lacks a surprise. .Well—let’s start with the background of the story.”

I shrugged: "Just be happy."

She didn't take it seriously: "I almost forgot, your soul has not been fully cultivated, and you can only maintain your consciousness by relying on the soul-fixing seal cast by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If someone moves that seal, like I did just now, the consequences You have already felt it. What's more interesting is that the memory of your previous life is also in that seal. If someone mentions the past to you and touches your heart, the memory will start to recover, and the seal will be impacted from the inside. I've felt it, just like you did after you read my letter."

I couldn't understand what I heard, and my mind started to buzz again. I couldn't help frowning and rubbing my temples.

She laughs like she's discovered a new toy: "Look, my words work, too."

I tried my best to ignore the scratching kitten in my consciousness: "What do you want?"

She smiled harmlessly: "I just want to tell a story."

I felt the danger intuitively, but pretended to be relaxed and said: "It seems that I have to listen to the story."

"Thousands of years ago, the sun god was dissatisfied with human beings forgetting his meritorious deeds, so he led nine disciples to drive ten suns to rebel against the heavens, intending to use ten days in the sky to burn all human beings to death. The Jade Emperor discussed with the gods and decided to kill the suns. God and his eight disciples, only one sun can be left behind to avoid future troubles. However, under the protection of the sun fire, the sun god and his disciples cannot be killed. , but only one is not enough. For this reason, the gods tried every means, and finally decided on a plan."

"This plan is a bit complicated. To put it simply, four things are important: a 'sub-bow and mother arrow', a master archer, a six-yin array and a Taiyin essence."

"The gods went through a lot of trouble, and finally succeeded in preparing the above things. Everything was ready, and the master archer Hou Yi stood at the core of the Liuyin formation, pulling the 'sub-bow and mother arrow' with all his strength, and shot through it with one arrow. Nine days, it stopped just before the tenth day. The mother arrow absorbed the ancient power from the nine suns, and returned all of them back to the sub-bow. The yang fire aroused the six yin formations, and the six yin temporarily suppressed the nine yang. At this time, it is only necessary to send the essence of the Taiyin into Hou Yi's body, and use the Taiyin to counteract the sun to eliminate it, and it will be done once and for all. But— —”

She stopped and looked at me with interest: "Guess what happened?"

I tried to stay calm, and deliberately teased: "At that critical moment, it must be the time when I, the protagonist, came out to mess things up."

She sneered and said: "That's right, you suddenly broke into the formation, took away the essence of Taiyin, and also destroyed the big array of Liuyin, that's when the power of Nine Suns flared up in an instant, and you were hit hard by Nine Suns, and your soul flew away."

A few words from her fell into my consciousness, a stone hit a thousand layers of waves, I had a splitting headache, thousands of feelings rushed into my heart, and blurted out: "No, that's not the case."

"Oh? That's not it. What kind of thing is it?"

I don't know what it is, I just stammered: "I didn't, I didn't mean to..."

She snorted coldly and continued: "At the critical moment, the Emperor Sifang used the method of blood sacrifice to seal Hou Yi and his physical strength of the Nine Suns. The power of the seal is limited and cannot be maintained forever. However, you have destroyed the only essence of Taiyin, so—”

I received another slap in my mind, endured the pain and continued: "So the Moon God must raise the Taiyin tree with his own body to regenerate the essence of the Taiyin. For thousands of years, he was trapped alone in the moon palace."

She sneered and said, "You only have the moon god in your eyes, but have you ever thought that Hou Yi was a great hero who saved the world, but he was killed by you and was sealed for thousands of years, and he is still trapped in the dark underground. Compared with the moon god, Even more deplorable."

I was speechless, and under the emotional turmoil, I felt that my eyes went dark, and I curled up into a ball with my head in my arms.He murmured to himself, "At that time...what happened...what happened...what?"

She continued: "When your soul flew away, Emperor Qing forcibly kept your soul fragments. She entrusted Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha to reshape your soul with supreme Buddha power, and it took thousands of years. The deepest part of the sea of ​​flowers on the other side of the underworld , is where you used to nourish your soul. During the period of nourishing your soul, your consciousness was mostly chaotic, but the fragrance of the other shore flower and the scriptures recited by Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha must have been deeply imprinted in your consciousness."

Ksitigarbha... the scriptures... "Evil karma and good results are born from place to place, and there is no rest in the five realms." I kept repeating these scriptures in my mind, but what happened next?what's nextThere are obviously many more sentences, why can't I remember them!Suddenly, countless images flashed in front of my eyes, and at the same time, my soul seemed to be torn apart. I rolled over and fell to the ground, trembling.

She continued: "Until more than 500 years ago, although your soul was still unstable, it was almost intact. In order to help you fully recover, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva placed a soul-fixing seal on you and sent you into reincarnation. You will be reincarnated forever. , Ascension by white fox cultivation, and return to the heaven again. Who would have thought that thousands of years would have passed between your visits and visits."

"This soul-fixing seal is set. When your soul is completely stable, it will fall off on its own. I guess it will be about a hundred years, which is the time. At that time, you will naturally remember everything, and there will be no No pain at all."

"I won't let you wait until then. Seeing how painful you are now, how can I miss it? You don't have to worry, no matter how painful you are, you won't die. Besides, when you completely break through the soul-fixing seal, you will not die. It won't hurt anymore."

I collapsed on the ground weakly, my consciousness was in a trance, and I couldn't tell if the illusion in front of me was real.But struggling to keep the last ray of clarity.

She looked down at me coldly: "Although I told you everything, you can't trust me completely after all, can you? Besides, I just gave a rough outline, how are all the things going on?" What happened, who can know better than you, the client?"

"In particular, why did you sabotage Hou Yi's shooting of the sun? It hurt the moon god, Hou Yi, and yourself? May I give you a hint?"

My pupils constricted and I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.

"Love, it's love. It's all because you love Luna so much—"

My eyes were slack, and I lost the last trace of clarity.
