Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 21
After the end of the Zhongyuan sacrifice ceremony, Chu Ge came to the world with Kong Chen dressed in plain clothes.

During the Zhongyuan period, there was no curfew, and all kinds of lanterns were hung inside and outside the city. Lanterns were tied with long strips, and the words of missing people were written on them. There were also offerings and herbs in front of the door. Most of the passers-by were wearing white clothes, carrying lanterns and weeping past.

Seeing this, Kong Chen couldn't help feeling hot in his eye sockets.Mortal life is short and perishable, so we know the way of life and death better.

There are some river lanterns floating on the moat, with the names of the dead written on them, and a clam bead is also placed in the old local customs, which means to honor the water god who helps others.

When the women by the river saw two extremely handsome men passing by, they couldn't help feeling shy and whispering.

A woman in a cloak and a veil stands alone by the river with a lotus lantern.The night wind was strong, the river lamps and candles swayed, and the woman's veil was also blown away. It happened to blow to Kong Chen, and he held it gently.

The four eyes meet, all are surprised.

Why is Fucang girl here?He handed her the veil.

Kong Chen... her uncertain tone.

Yes, empty dust below.This is Chugo.

Chu Ge learned the etiquette of the world and bowed his hands to Fu Cang. It was a pleasure to meet you. I am a good friend of Kongchen.

Is the girl remembering the old man?He glanced at the river lantern she had just put on.

She didn't answer, put on her veil again, and bowed to him and Chu Ge, "I still have something to do, so I left."

Kong Chen frowned slightly, why is this girl so unpredictable, why did they misunderstand, why didn't they see each other for a few days, she became so strange, what happened to the girl?
Fu Cang turned around and looked at him, I was in a bad mood today, I was neglected, sorry, I hope you are not to blame.

Chu Ge finally laughed out loud, Kongchen, you also have today, people don’t bother to talk to you, hahaha...

Kong Chen punched him in the heart, don't laugh at me, I see you are not much better.

Chu Ge thought that a few days ago, when Kong Chen asked him about the flower marks on the back of his hand, he lied and said that he was in love with a fairy, and after the fairy drew the crabapple flower for him with magic, he asked him to wait until the flower marks disappeared See you soon.

But Kong Chen smiled and said, if she likes you, why would she be willing to let you wait, wasting her good years for nothing, but giving it a step that doesn't hurt your royal family's face.After hearing it at the time, he felt depressed, felt that Kong Chen's words were reasonable, but also thought that if the woman really didn't like him, she would just ignore him, why did she appear, and gave him a flower mark.

Although Kong Chen made fun of this flower mark, it looked like a woman's boudoir dress.

Who is this woman?People can't see through, a little indifferent, but the appearance is beautiful.

Kong Chen knew that Chu Ge could tell that Fu Cang was extraordinary.I have lived alone in a big lake for a long time, and I have strayed into it by mistake, which disturbed me for some time.

She has the smell of ginseng on her body, it seems that she has been in contact with this thing for a long time.

Sure enough, it is a tiger, and herbal things cannot escape your nose.She has a heart disease and needs to take this medicine for treatment.

I can predict, but she is young, how can she get this disease, what kind of fairy is she?
Kong Chen waved his folding fan helplessly, as you can see, this woman doesn't like to talk to me, I only know her name.

This woman is not simple.

In fact, she is the woman you sent ghost servants to investigate that day.He wasn't going to hide from his buddy.

It turned out to be her, this gloomy appearance is not as eccentric as the ghost servant reported to me.He was a little surprised.

We don't know her well.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the mountain, there is the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ghosts. A young woman who is well-educated and innocent and has a clean family background acts as an emissary to carry the wishing people to the local graves.

The graveyard has already been well-arranged. Although it is remote, it is the place where ghosts gather. There is a stone archway here, with the words Fushengmen written on it, which means that anyone whose soul returns here can enter this gate and reincarnate beautifully.

The envoys danced in white masks on the temporary altar. After the dance, the people let the sky lanterns fly to complete the ritual of offering sacrifices to ghosts.

Life is a dream, and the widow can clearly see the boundary between life and death at this moment.

Kong Chen was very interested in sky lanterns, so he took the reluctant Chu Ge to ask for one.

Your life is long enough, what are you looking forward to in the afterlife?Chugo shook his head.Besides, you and I still need this thing?

Just for peace of mind, I...begged for others.He hesitated.

Who?
nothing.Kong Chen let the sky lantern fly, watching it go away tenderly.

In the dark night sky, the light of the slowly rising fire reflected a brilliance. People clasped their hands together and prayed silently for prosperity and longevity in the next life.

Kongchen wanted to help with Changyou's matter, but Chu Genian refused because it was inconvenient for him to go down to earth after he assumed the position of Xingjun.It is only said that this matter has been handed over to Ji Kang, an old minister of the royal court of the Beihai Xiangui clan, who has full control over it, and he is also ready for the battle in Luoshui at any time.If it doesn't work, then report to the Heavenly Court and ask for support.

Before Kong Chen left, he couldn't help but look at the crabapple by the Luoshui River.

He walked slowly under the flowers, and the ground was full of fallen flowers. Suddenly, he felt a little warmth, and stretched out his hand to explore, and there was a crabapple flower on the back of his neck.

He looked at the crabapple in his palm, and said to himself, why is it so spiritual.

Suddenly, the crabapple flower in his hand flew towards the crabapple jade pendant at his waist, turning into a drop of blood and melting into it.

Long Luoshui, the ancient holy river, what is the story of the crabapple that rose with Luoshui, he flew to the sky full of doubts.

Decades later, Kongchen was in his study, looking at the book "Hechuan Ji".

He finally got the courage to look for her, but he kept asking himself, after so many years, is she okay?Does she remember me?
A few spots of crimson slowly floated into the room, as if wrapped in love, and fell heavily on the painting he just made, like drops of tears.

He raised his head and looked out of the window. The peach tree really bloomed.

If you can cultivate this diseased peach branch into a tree that blooms again, you will know the answers to all your doubts. He still remembered Fu Cang's words.

The peach blossoms have already bloomed, his doubts and hesitation finally have an answer, and he decides to find her.

Will she wait for me?
Do you still remember the sentence, "Be prepared, Samsung is at home."Tonight and Hexi, see this charming person.

Chu Ge came to the Heavenly Court to report the day before yesterday, saying that Luoshui is now raging, and the water beast reappeared, it is undoubtedly the leader, but the strange thing is that it did not intentionally initiate the water disaster, but restrained it, which is puzzling. So here comes the report.

The Emperor of Heaven pondered for a moment, and the Changyou Xu was controlled by someone with ulterior motives.

Who will benefit from harming the world?Huang Yixian, who is in charge of the balance of yin and yang in the world, has a question.

This matter is intended to make the tiger dereliction of duty, could it be aimed at the tiger.The giant spirit king shook his feather fan and said.

Xunhua Xianjun, who is in charge of the seasons in the world, looks at Chu Ge, can he catch Changyou?
No, he is too sensitive, seeing him appearing is already accidental.

What was the last time you showed up?

After several days of heavy rain, Luoshui flooded, and it appeared to release the flood.Due to the great water potential, we did not take the opportunity to catch him.

How can it be so contradictory, it has launched many water disasters, and now it has ventured to show itself as water.

It has been rainy in Guozhou recently, so you need to prepare more.Shui Shenyang also reminded, and then said that Luoshui is an ancient holy river, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the power to regulate Luoshui with its cultivation.

Chu Ge, you must pay more attention to the matter of Changyou, if you need help from heaven, please feel free to play.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Before Chu Ge left, he went to the Fire Cloud Palace and said bluntly that the palace in the Heavenly Court is splendid, but there are too many rules.He also told Kong Chen that if he had time to go down to earth, he should go to Daze where the woman lived.

He hurriedly asked what happened.

Chu Geyan said that the Daze illusion has been destroyed, and now it is a desolate place.
