There was actually someone in the distant mountain in the landscape painting.
That person was actually still talking.
The sound was hard to describe. If one had to describe it, it was like the ringing of a bell. There was a lingering sound in the distance.
It was very calm and very sober.
The listener should be self-aware and should reflect on himself.
The beautiful nun said, "If it's for him, I have no regrets."
The voice still floated out from the distant mountain in the painting, "Can a person really have no regrets? In the future, when you see a pair of mandarin ducks crossing necks and traveling together … Can a person really have no regrets? "
The nun was silent for a moment and said, "I have no regrets now."
"Silly child." The voice in the distant mountain seemed to be farther away, as if the speaker was walking further away.
"If you want to save someone, I'll allow you. If you want to settle him back to the sect, I'll also allow you. I'll even help you cover up your traces, erase the mysteries of heaven, help you treat your injuries and boil medicine … I won't ask what you want to do. But you have to know what you're doing. "
The lingering sound lingered in the air and eventually disappeared.
The kneeling nun put her hands on the mat and lowered her head deeply.
The mountain in the ink painting was farther away and the clouds were lower. Suddenly, rain was about to fall.
After a long time, True Jade raised her head and looked at the birds formed by the green smoke above her head. There was some inexplicable joy on her face, "I'm like a bird."
She said with a smile.
This smile was enough to shake the spring and make the flowers and the moon lose their color.
Unfortunately, no one could see it in this small room.
It was so beautiful that it was lonely.
The flowers bloomed and withered, and the smile could not last forever.
She thought of something and stopped smiling.
Her jade-like hand moved gently and took a ceramic lid. She covered the three-legged beast shaped incense burner and the birds scattered.
She sighed softly, "Unfortunately, it's only green smoke."
…
…
When the moon was high in the sky, True Jade returned to her room.
She came back a little late tonight.
As usual, she tested the medicine and brought it to the bedside. As usual, she poured it into Jiang Wang's mouth.
The medicine was still very unpleasant.
The difference was that Jiang Wang no longer frowned and True Jade no longer smiled.
After the medicine was poured, True Jade sat back at the tea table and poured a cup of tea for herself.
At this time, she was facing the window and facing the bed.
Unfortunately, the window was closed and the moonlight could not be seen. The person on the bed lay stiffly and did not look at her.
The tea was slightly bitter, but not as bitter as the medicine.
After slowly taking a few sips, she looked at the fine texture of the window and asked faintly, "What were you thinking when you first saw me?"
Jiang Wang's voice came from behind.
"I don't remember."
It was an expected answer.
Yu Zhen did not like to drink tea. Although she had tasted the Eight Notes Tea, she still felt that the tea was too astringent.
She pushed the teacup aside and took out a Crane Beak Jade Flask from her storage box. She gently shook it, and the fragrance of wine immediately filled the room.
She took two sips from the spout.
He then asked, "Do you drink?"
"No, thanks," Jiang Wang said calmly.
True Jade suddenly got up. Her jade-like fingers hooked around the ear of the pot, and she swaggered back to the bedside.
Her face was a little flushed, and her beautiful eyes seemed drunk.
Although he was wearing a monk's robe and a monk's hat, it couldn't hide his elegance.
She looked into Jiang Wang's eyes and asked very rudely, "What if I insist that you drink?"
Jiang Wang, who was lying on the bed, was expressionless. "Then I can only drink."
"You know what's good for you!" True Jade praised. "Open your mouth!"
Jiang Wang then opened his mouth.
True Jade hooked the wine pot and gently turned it upside down. The jade-like wine drew a perfect arc in the air and accurately fell into Jiang Wang's mouth.
"How is it?" True Jade stopped the wine and asked.
Jiang Wang silently drank it.
"Compared to drinking, I think we both have more important things to do," he said.
Perhaps the wine was too strong, but True Jade seemed to suddenly become angry. She stretched out her other hand and used her thumb and forefinger to grab Jiang Wang's left cheek and pinched it hard.
Looking at Jiang Wang's strange appearance, she laughed loudly.
She laughed and asked, "You're now a fish on the chopping block. How dare you bare your teeth at me?"
Jiang Wang's face was pinched, but he said very calmly, "People are either fish on the chopping block or fish on the chopping block. Fengshui comes and goes; it's a very common thing. Some things can be compromised, and some things can't. "
True Jade looked at him boldly, and her hand twisted hard. "Why are you pretending to be an enlightened monk in front of me? Your face can be compromised, but your tongue can't? "
Jiang Wang said indifferently, "You can do anything. Even if you kill me, I can't resist. But will this give you pleasure? "
True Jade let go of his cheek and said hatefully, "You're just relying on my sincerity to you, knowing that I won't harm you. Relying on this, you're fearless and willful! "
Jiang Wang lowered his eyes and said, "You're right."
True Jade held the wine pot in one hand and propped up the side of Jiang Wang's face with the other. She lowered her head and looked at him. "You're now a difficult person to deal with. You're not that simple and naive teenager anymore. Why don't you feign civility with me and lie to me that you're also interested in me, that you're willing to be with me day and night … So, when you recover from your injury, won't you be able to go anywhere in the world? You won't have to look at my face anymore! "
Jiang Wang didn't say anything.
"Because you have me in your heart. You can't lie to me with this!"
"I don't."
"Ha, you don't?" True Jade looked down at him, her beautiful eyes burning. The smell of alcohol mixed in her breath and collided with him. "Do you know what I'm going to do now?"
Jiang Wang only said, "I hope you respect me."
"What are you thinking?" True Jade spat softly. "Bah, stinky rogue."
This "bah" was light, thin, and soft, like a cat's tail scratching you.
Jiang Wang was speechless.
True Jade gently propped herself up and straightened up. Without the slightest reluctance, she turned around and leisurely walked back.
"You can go!" she said.
Jiang Wang stared blankly for a moment, but soon after, he reacted. His blood was rushing, and his muscles were fresh. His body's strength had already recovered, and his five prefectural seas had also resumed their circulation. Although he was far from his peak, he was at least fifty percent of his condition. At the very least, "leaving" … was no longer a problem.
That mouthful of alcohol just now was like a key that opened the "lock" that imprisoned his body's condition.
It was just that Jiang Wang had originally believed that the "lock" was his injury, but now it seemed that True Jade had other tricks up her sleeve.
"You're too unwilling to let go of yourself. This time, your injury had to be recuperated. So I used a little trick … Now you're free. If you want to cultivate, then cultivate. If you want to risk your life, then risk your life. No one will care about you. "True Jade sat with her back to him. After she finished her unhurried explanation, she asked again," What, you can't bear to leave? "
Jiang Wang immediately got up from the bed.
True Jade said again, "Your personal belongings, including those ragged clothes of yours, are all in the storage box beside the bed. Don't leave them behind and find an excuse to come find me later. "
Jiang Wang could only turn back to retrieve the storage box.
"Jiang Wang, oh Jiang Wang." True Jade sighed. "You might as well ask yourself, if you didn't have me in your heart, with your peerless talent of bravely seizing first place in the Yellow River, how could you only realize now that you've recovered your ability to move?"
Jiang Wang's bent figure paused in the middle of retrieving the storage box. He only said in a muffled voice, "I don't have any peerless talent, and there are no heroes in the world. That's why I'm famous. It's normal for you to be unable to react for a while after being injured for so long. "
Bang!
True Jade smashed the wine pot on the ground and spat out a word through gritted teeth, "Scram!"
