According to legend, on the way to the Yellow Springs, one passes over a bridge called Naihe. At the end of the bridge, there is a woman called Meng Woman waiting
there, handing a bowl of soup to every passerby. Day in and day out, Meng's soup has another
name - the water of forgetfulness. Anyone who drank the water would forget the ties of this life and enter
the path of reincarnation
to start the next life.
She stood at the end of the bridge, her eyes blank, a green dress like fading leaves, swaying with the wind in the cold wind.
Her pale face, thin body, and that part of the eyes if not the sadness are to the world's face
face added a few points of pity.
One by one, expressionless people passed by her, all the same white coat, the same feet do not touch the ground.
The only difference is that some of them pass with their heads hanging down, some keep turning back, some walk as fast as they can, and some have an ankle bracelet on their feet.
The only difference is that some of them pass with their heads hanging down, some keep turning back, some walk as fast as they can, and some have an ankle bracelet on their feet.
She watched them cross the bridge and realized that it was a bridge that could only be crossed in one direction. Once on the bridge the lord could not turn back,
there was no way back.
"After crossing the Bridge of Naihe and drinking Mengbo's soup, you will forget all that is earthly and forget yourself." She remembers
three hundred years ago when she was not yet in human form, her sister told her the story about the Naihe Bridge.
On that day, the wind was gentle and spring was in full swing. She and her sister were playing under the Broken Bridge, and she thought for a while that there was no other bridge in the world that could compare to the Broken Bridge. Later, her sister told her that there was a bridge called Naihe
that could make people forget all their sorrows and pains. Forgetting, always make people feel happy.dwv
So, this wonderful bridge for a hundred years has been hovering in her memory for a long time.
Now, the Naihe Bridge is really in front of her eyes, but she is tramping. The past, all the memories of the smoke disappear
Clouds dispersed, a thousand years of waiting into the void. The first step is to make sure that all the memories are clear, so that they can be put together in a sad
song that will make her heart break.
Finally decided to go over, just like my sister said, forgetting in exchange for happiness.
With just a thought, her green-colored figure had leaped to the end of the bridge. Looking down, before her sat a half-aged woman
who was stirring a pot of thick soup to a boil with a spoon.
She thought that this was the legendary Mengnu.
Meng's hand suddenly trembled as she handed her the soup, and a muddy tear slipped down the bowl.
It is said that Meng only sheds tears for fallen people who have gone through three lives of love, and her tears can show them their past lives and present lives.
It is extremely painful to relive those memories, but how can one completely forget without complete pain?
She heard Meng heavily baring her breath, and then her consciousness gradually blurred, falling into a thousand years of the underworld.
The end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns were in trouble.
The Loulan country is forced by the ferocity of the Xiongnu, resistance is useless, only to adopt the strategy of peace, where every ten years to send a
princess and relatives.
One of the Loulan harem.
The palace is carved by redwood, and the corridors and courtyards are made of white jade. It is extravagant and flashy, but also reveals
an empty and desolate. The palace pavilions, brocade clothes and jade food could not make her happy in the slightest.
The only thing she loves is the natural water of the lake in the palace.
She danced on the surface of the lake, and her posture was graceful and neon. The water behind her is no trace of the water.
She is one of the countless daughters of the king of Loulan, she is the most beautiful woman in the whole of Loulan, and at the same time, she is also the most special position in the country of Loulan, but does not please the king of Loulan, the princess.
Her name is Jinxiu, and her mother is the queen of Loulan.
If her mother had not still favored her, perhaps she, the princess, would have been expelled from Loulan long ago, how could she dance here in the Ling
waves.
Dancing on the waves? Yes, dancing on the water is the only thing she likes.
She has been different since she was a child. At the age of three, when she lost her footing and fell into Lake Fairview, amidst the cries for help from the palace maidens and the queen mother
she actually floated above the water unharmed, smiling innocently and sweetly to the crowd.
Since then, the palace people look at her gaze more a kind of fear, the father thinks she is ominous demon, avoid
not see. Although the mother often come to the palace to give her some silk, jade hairpin, but still can not hide
decorate the eyes of doubt and fear.
Sixteen spring and autumn, she was in the palace of embroidery in the gloomy through, accompanied by her only foot of this pool of lake water.
Yesterday night, Father King stepped into the palace for the first time in so many years.
After she was flattered and bowed,
Father couldn't wait to announce his intention.
It turns out that the ten-year contract with the Xiong Nu has come to an end, and in the case of having to send a princess to make peace with the Xiong Nu, she, the
Queen's daughter and the extremely unpopular Jinxiu, has become the natural choice.
After some formal ordination ceremonies, she became the Princess of Peace.
Inadvertently, I heard some talkative court ladies talk about the Huns. The Xiongnu seems to be an extremely brutal
nation, successive generations of the Xiongnu king are inhumane, especially the current king - Hun Xi Shan Yu is more ferocious and obscene.
She thought about it and smiled bashfully, in fact, there is no difference between marrying and not marrying for her, but it is just a change of
a cage, a different way of imprisonment.
The mother was in tears, embracing her and calling out, "My poor daughter." The court ladies whispered, and there was a great deal of happy disaster
joyful component.
She stared at her father, wanting to see something in his eyes, but all she got was his relief and his back as he left
in fear.
The desert is deserted, and you can hear the sound of the wind whipping the sand in the distance, like a song or a cry.
Almost to the capital of the Xiongnu, she lifted the curtain to look out over the desolate desert once again.
This is her first trip, but also the last.
She is a woman who is destined to live longer than eighteen years. When word spread in Loulan that she could dance on the waves, her father
invited a sorcerer to tell her fortune. The sorcerer said that she was a three-time lover, not only ominous but also short-lived, and that eighteen years old
was already the highest limit.
Again she smiled blandly. Father is really a very smart king, knows how to make the best use of things. She this kind of demon with
its stay in the palace to wreak havoc on the country and the people, it is better to give it to the king of Xiongnu along the way, on the one hand, it can ease the relationship between the nationalities, on the other hand, it can also
transfer the ominous that she carries to the Xiongnu.
It turns out that ominous can also be a weapon ah! She thought that if the king of Xiongnu knew that he had married a
short-lived disaster, I do not know how furious he would be.
The carriage finally arrived at the city of Xiongnu.
The procession to welcome the bride is sparse, and the guards are all disdainful in their eyes.
Hun Xie Shan Yu did not greet the bride himself, because he heard that his favorite concubine was pregnant with a prince.
The Hun capital is not as beautiful and graceful as Loulan, but it is the only one between heaven and earth.
After seven days of bathing and fasting, she finally meets the devil of all people - Hun Xi Shan Yu.
A very tall man appeared in front of her. Blue eyes, like a deep lake, she suddenly
wanted to dance on the waves.
Unconsciously, she reached out her green fingers to gently caress the hollows of his eyes, and then rested her fingertips on his
eyes, feeling his blue dancing between her fingers.
She let out a silvery laugh.
In fact, Hun Xie was not at all as brutal as rumors had it. He is very warlike, but he never
hurts innocent people in the course of war.
As for the word "lecherous", it is even more unfounded. He had a favorite concubine before her, and now she is pregnant with
his child.
He would take her to see the flying eagles of the desert, he would hold her tightly in his arms, he would rub his bearded chin
against her white face, and he would pucker his breath at the nape of her neck to make her laugh.
After he saw her dancing on the waves, besides a moment of panic, what came in its place was actually appreciation. He liked to stand on the shore and watch her dance on the water, and at the end of the dance, he gently bit her earlobe and told her how beautiful she was
.
Later she learned that the favored concubine who carried his child was called Hu Ji, a gift from his father
on the day of his bar mitzvah.
He said he never loved Hu Ji, but he needed a child, it was his duty to the country.
When Hoochie comes to her, she can already see something in her cynical eyes. ,
But she didn't expect Hoagie to deliberately bring herself down when she pushed her.
It was a voluptuous and sultry woman, and the look in her eyes told her that no one could
take anything she wanted.
A ghostly smile lifted from Hooch's lips the moment she fell.
In the blood everywhere and the panic call of the palace maid, he came
He gave her a hard slap, picked up Hu Ji from the pool of blood and left without looking back. On his way out,
he dropped the words, "Take her to jail and wait for her trial."
Hu Ji's baby was not saved after all. All agreed that it was her fault.s
He came to the jail once and said, "As long as you are willing to make amends to Hu Ji. I can spare you this time."
She was silent. Half a dozen times, faintly smiling, still silent.
He then said to her in annoyance, "You are really a demon."
She, if she had a heart, became crippled even after hearing this.
She is a woman destined not to live past eighteen, and life and death are simply meaningless to her.
She is a woman who is destined to live beyond 18 years, and life and death are not important to her.
What you owe me in this life, I want you to pay back in the next life." She muttered as she played with a beaded hairpin. Under the dim light
line, she floated a touch of dusty smile, cold as water.
In 277 A.D., the Loulan peace princess killed herself in the dungeon. In the same year, the Hun King Hun evil died in battle, Hu Ji was buried.
Time flies, years go by. In the blink of an eye, another life.
The Tang Dynasty Emperor Dali's first year --
The Anshi Rebellion was like a nightmare, and after the nightmare woke up, people began to indulge in the world, wine and liquor.
The city of Chang'an is still bustling with nightly songs.
The name "Huo Xiaoyu" is well known both inside and outside the capital.
There are three wonders in the capital, and Huo Xiaoyu is one of them. A military general's daughter but fell into the greenhouse, beautiful and beautiful but only love low-eyebrow poetry for fun. At the age of sixteen, her fame spread far and wide, attracting a cadre of nobles and rich gentlemen to follow her, waving thousands of dollars just to get a night of pleasure. But she was not afraid of the money and power, and said that she would not sell her body to the public.
How can you not be surprised by such a woman?
Her nature is lonely and proud, but by the life forced to stay in the greenhouse, she would rather be old and lonely, but also do not want to pander to the dignitaries to get a moment of glory.
She often stood by the window, the figure graceful, the world's smile will show for whom? She always felt that she was waiting for a person who could make her willing to be happy and sad for her.
A song "Jiangnan words" led her soul to dream.
Married to the Qutang Jia, toward the wrong concubine; knew that the tide has a letter, married to the tide children."
For the first time, she took the initiative to invite a man up to her attic to talk by candlelight.
One of them is a lonely, proud and cold, and the other is a flirtatious and talented, and they are as happy as fish in water.
When she decides to let him stay overnight, she resolves that she will not marry him in this life.
The two years she lived with him were the happiest of her life, but the happiness was always short-lived.
He was authorized by the court to Zheng County, the official title to rise also means that they must be separated for a short period of time.
When he was leaving, he looked at her stunning face and swore an oath: "In March of next spring, I will marry a beautiful woman and reunite with her in Zheng County, and I will never leave her."
Her icy intelligence allowed her to foresee that this ending would not be as she wanted, but she was still willing to gamble with fate. She smiled sadly and said to him, "Who can say what happens in the world? When you are promoted, there will be no lack of beautiful women around you, and then today's oath will become a cloud of smoke. I don't ask for your promise of a lifetime, I just need to be able to stay by your side until you're thirty years old, that's enough. After that, I am willing to cut my hair and become a nun, and no longer ask anything about you. "
She looked at his gradually far away back, sighed softly, said: "Do not negative me." Then a wait is a year.
The one-year appointment was like a lifetime ago, and he still had no news. After a long time, she heard about him, he has married the daughter of a senior court official Lu as his wife, the couple went to Zhengzhou to go to office, has a son.
After hearing this, she was speechless and in tears. Since then has been sick.
Seeing him again is because a yellow-robed Taoist who called himself Li Shilang somehow tied him up in front of her.
The red color is emaciated, and there are no words.
He saw her thin cheeks, and sadly told her that it was not that he was heartless, but that Lu's in the night he went to her father's house to pay his respects, and ordered his subordinates to put a drug in his wine. In the blur of consciousness, he thought Lu was her, and it was difficult to hold. When he woke up, he realized that it was Lu lying beside him. If he does not agree to marry Lu, he will be dismissed by the court and escorted to the border, and his future will be ruined.
He is a man who has experienced a life of poverty and destitution, and he can't forget the chill of being despised when he has nothing. So he compromised and betrayed his oath when he weighed her against his future.
She shook herself up and slammed a teacup to the floor, implying that they were over and done with...!
Since she can't have him, she might as well break the bond completely to let him be free and happy.
When she turned around, she suddenly had a dizzy spell, and memories from thousands of years ago overlapped in her mind.
It turns out that this is her destiny, in this life she is the famous* Huo Xiaoyu, he is the thinly veiled lover Li Yi, and Hu Ji is transformed into Lu.
The three lives of love and evil, and then a life.
Huo Xiaoyu suddenly collapsed on the ground after dropping the cup, and the beauty of the world was burnt to ashes.
After the news of Huo Xiaoyu's death, some people in the streets of Chang'an circulated this poem: a generation of famous flowers to the fallen, in vain, self-love poets; how to marry with the yellow shirts, white horse Fangjiao **** step in the spring.
Song, Xizi Lake.
Spring rain like wine, green willow like smoke.
Above the Broken Bridge, two women holding oil umbrellas passed by like ghosts.
The woman in green has a petite physique, and she is so beautiful and elegant that she has a strong aura between her eyebrows and eyes.
And the white woman is physically alluring, the demeanor exudes a fox charming.
"Sister, why must we come to the West Lake ah?" The woman in green flashed her soulful eyes and innocently
asked the woman in white.
The woman in white smiled but did not answer. There was an inexplicable weirdness vaguely revealed between the looks.
When she saw that her sister did not answer her question, she could only mutter secretly. Ever since she became conscious, her sister had been by her side. She didn't know where her sister came from and why, she only knew that her sister had a thousand years of Taoism and had been searching for it in the human world for thousands of years.''
What her sister was searching for to this day she still doesn't know. Five hundred years ago, she was a dying green snake in the hands of a hunter, and should have been scraped and boned to become a delicacy, but then she was saved by her sister and taught how to cultivate.
She remembers the first time she could transform into human form, under the moonlight, all ice and transparent.
She and her sister then embraced each other, stroking and playing with each other.
She often licked her sister's body with her tongue for fun. Once when she was having fun, when she licked her sister's face, she suddenly got a numbness on the tip of her tongue and a salty, bitter feeling.
She tilted her head and saw a few drops of transparent water particles glittering in the corners of her sister's eyes.
Her sister told her they were tears.
She doesn't shed tears because she doesn't know what is love. All she knows is that there is one person she cannot afford to lose,
and that is her sister.
She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw Officer Xu, she felt uncomfortable all over. The snake's instincts told her this was a man who would change her and her sister's fate. But she is still powerless to stop her sister from meeting and falling in love and bonding with him.
On the day when her sister and Officer Xu pay their respects, the wind switches and thunder strikes. The union of man and snake is forbidden by heaven.
In order to stop her sister, she used her magic power to fight with her sister in the thunder and lightning.
As a result, she was knocked to the ground and her original form was revealed.
At that time, her sister said to her quietly, "I have been gazing for a thousand years, looking forward to a hundred years. Waiting for the person I should wait for in this life, waiting for him to love me. After waiting for so long finally let me wait, so no matter who I will not allow him to destroy my happiness."
She sensed her sister's determination, so she only watched silently as her sister opened Jishitang; watched as her sister kicked the androgynous wine to reveal her original form to scare Xu Xian to death; watched as her sister willingly risked her life to steal the immortality herb to save Xu Xian; watched as Xu Xian hid in the Jinshan Temple and didn't want to see her sister again, as well as watched as she herself was now in the process of forcing Xu Xian to come out of the water and flood the San Francisco.
She held her thoughts for a moment, and used her magic power to summon the water of the West Lake, and in an instant, the Jinshan Temple had become an ocean.
She held Xu Xian tightly, and countless corpses floated in the water under her feet.
She killed millions of people to save one. Heh, isn't that a debt?
She remembered the Loulan's rowing water without traces, remembered the Hun's desert eagle, remembered the Tang's overturned water ......
It turns out that in this life, she is Xiaoqing, he is Bai Suzhen. And Hu Ji is Xu Xian.
A tear slipped from the corner of her eye. She is not heartless, just love the wrong person, a pain is three lifetimes.'"
Xiaoqing self-destructed a thousand years of magic power, the soul returned to the underworld.
Three lifetimes of love and grievances, three lifetimes of chopped liver, looking back, like a flash in the pan.
Her mind gradually wakes up, and the things around her are clear.
On the Bridge of Naijia, there are still a lot of people walking in only one direction
She saw Meng looking at her with tears in her eyes. Meng said, "Do you remember your second life? That
life I intervened in your destiny, without my intervention you might not have died. That yellow-robed Daoist who caught Li Yi to your side was a manifestation of my momentary meddling, so I owe you one life. Before entering the path of reincarnation, I can let you decide who you will reincarnate as in your next life."
She gently shook her head, this time she was truly shaking off ten thousand years of love and hate, and had nothing to ask for.
The Mona said, "I must give you back one life."
She thought about it, and finally faintly said to Meng, "If I have to decide on my next life, then let me be his shadow. No desires, yet a lifelong companion." At the end of her sentence, she picked up a bowl of thick Mengbo soup and drank it all in one go.
...... After crossing the Naiho Bridge and drinking Mengbo Soup, you will forget everything in the earthly world and forget yourself ......
