Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 421 I want to give you a surprise

Here it is, it's him.

Lu Pianpian looked at the familiar and tall figure in the heavy snow, and her eyes behind the mask couldn't help but moisten.

Soon, Luo Ning, holding the envoy, finally arrived at the towering Luoyang City.

He couldn't see Lu Pianpian's figure, but he could feel a distinctive and broad gaze, like a ray of sunshine far away in time and space, shining on him.

This sunshine-like gaze made Luoning feel comforted.

is her.

At this moment, even if the sky is covered with snow, he feels that spring has returned to the earth.

Luo Ning couldn't help but reveal a warm and peaceful smile.

Lu Pianpian saw Luo Ning's smile that could heal scars, and saw his very familiar red phoenix eyes that had become dark and dull, and tears finally fell down her cheeks.

Finally found him, not easy.

It has been almost two years since we met at the gate of Luoyang City.

Why did he become blind?
"I... personally went out of the city to greet Mr. Luo Ning!" Lu Pianpian walked to the city head first, "I am very happy to see my old friend come."

He didn't hide his pleasure at all.

The central gate of Luoyang City opened wide, and amid the sound of bells and drums, the regent princess of Yan State, dressed in a bright red palace dress and a fox fur coat, strode out to greet her in person.

When the kings and princes of various countries saw Lu Pianpian treating Luo Ning so politely, they all followed him to greet him.

"Mr. Luo Ning, now that you have arrived, I am eager to see you. Hee."

Lu Pianpian walked to Luo Ning and said in a familiar tone.

When Luo Ning heard the familiar voice and smelled the familiar smell coming from the opposite side, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Thanks to Your Highness for not giving up. I still remember you. How lucky you are for me." Luo Ning saluted.

"Today I represent the Lord of Dayong and attend the Luoyang League. It is truly a fateful trip."

His posture is neither humble nor arrogant, just like a high-ranking scholar.

The kings and princes couldn't help but secretly marveled at Luo Ning's demeanor and grace.

It's really extraordinary. No wonder he was able to serve as a blind minister and be worshiped as the national teacher of the Yong Kingdom.

Since Princess Wuyang values this person so much, he must be an unparalleled talent in the world.

Therefore, even these monarchs took the lead in saying hello to Luo Ning.

Of course, this is also because Yong is still the most powerful prince, and they dare not offend Yong's envoys rashly.

"Foreign Minister Luo Ning, I have met all the princes..."

Luo Ning also saluted everyone, "Now that our nine states have reached peace talks, it is indeed a blessing for all Xia to stop fighting and make peace."

"Mr. Luo Ning, please!" Lu Pianpian was too lazy to ask Luo Ning to be polite to everyone, and directly invited the Yongguo envoy to enter the city.

After entering the Luoyang Palace, Lu Pianpian said directly:
"This alliance in Luoyang is a major event for our Nine Provinces, so we don't have to rush it for the moment. Mr. Luo Ning and I will talk about the past first and cleanse him from the dust. It won't be too late for us to discuss the matter tomorrow."

The kings and princes of all the countries said together: "Princess, please do as you please. We will not fight for the day or night."

Then, Lu Pianpian said sorry and took Luo Ning into Jiusi Palace.

When the wine was warm and the delicacies were served, Lu Pianpian retired from the palace, leaving only two people in the gorgeous Jiusi Palace.

Lu Pianpian poured a glass of warm mulberry wine for Luo Ning with her own hands, and the two of them were silent for a while.

Snowflakes were falling outside the palace, and the sound of melting snowflakes was lost in the warm aroma of wine.

An atmosphere of joy, tranquility, gentleness and serenity lingers so tightly that one cannot bear to break it.

It's as if just sitting there facing each other quietly, drinking in silence, is enough.

Luo Ning drank slowly and gracefully.

Lu Pianpian drank quickly, gulping down the wine as usual.

Luo Ning touched her feet with his left hand.

The woman took off her shoes again. Her feet were cold.

Lu Pianpian finally spoke first.

"Hee, my face is ruined and your eyes are blind."

"I lost my sight when I lost my beauty. It turns out that I am a sad person."

She took off her silver mask, revealing her scratched face.

"I am an ugly person now, just like Su Chuo back then. But Cha Cha, you can't see my ugly face anymore."

Luo Ning said with a relieved tone: "You are very good, I can hear it. Don't worry."

The girl stretched out her white jade-like catkin and touched Luo Ning's delicate eyes, "Why are you blind? Are you injured?"

Luo Ning put down the wine glass and wrapped her bare feet with his sleeves to warm her feet.

"It's not that he was injured. He was blind as soon as he appeared in this world."

"My eyes should be blocked by the power of cause and effect."

As the young man spoke, he also stretched out his hand and touched Lu Pianpian's face.

Lu Pianpian leaned forward and touched her face to Luo Ning's hand, "Hey, touch and see, there are more than a dozen scars."

Luo Ning touched a face with uneven features and distorted features, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Did you do it yourself? You are so cruel to yourself."

"Well, I guess, with your personality, the first thing you do must be to ruin your face."

"Hee." Lu Pianpian smiled nonchalantly, "I scratched it with ice particles, and it was very deep. It was cold and painful."

"The blood on my face melted the ice blade."

"Later, I stood by the water and took a photo, which made me laugh so ugly."

Luo Ning's fingers rubbed the scars on her face, as if to smooth them away.

"It's not ugly. Even if I can see it with my eyes, I don't think it's ugly."

Luo Ning retracted his hand and picked up the wine glass, "When the tired-eyed scholar is drunk. I have been in Chang'an for less than two years, but it seems like many years have passed."

"The days in Chang'an are too slow, too slow. Although there is spring in Chang'an, I always feel like it's snowing all the time."

Lu Pianpian took the initiative to hold his hand, "That's because you worry about me day and night and don't know my safety."

"I also feel that life is passing too slowly."

She smiled, "Fortunately, I finally found you. He was born in stone and went to the sun when he was three years old, and he recognized the blind minister as an old friend. This is what Ji Wuyou said to me."

"It turns out that she is really proficient in hexagrams."

Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you say that Miaoshu Shangxian is a liar? Isn't she a swindler?"

Lu Pianpian shook her head, "She is indeed a liar. This is undeniable. But her divine power must also be true."

"Who says liars can't be real?"

Luo Ning thought about it and thought so.

"Then how did you become Princess Wuyang? Did you lie?"

Lu Pianpian sighed quietly, "If I don't enter the mortal world, I don't know my daughter's suffering."

She looked at the snowflakes outside the window with empty autumn eyes, "The real Princess Wuyang has been dead for more than a year. She died in my arms..."

"She is a princess, but she is actually a poor person..."

"...I promised her that I will restore dignity for the [-] soldiers. We will not be camp concubines, but soldiers..."

"...I want to tell the world that women are not necessarily weak..."

Luo Jing listened quietly to Lu Pianpian's words and couldn't help but feel a little scared about what Lu Pianpian had experienced.

It turns out that she usurped the power of the Yan Kingdom by posing as Princess Wuyang and leading the Yi army to launch a mutiny... From leaving the countryside, to joining the Yi army, to launching a palace rebellion, to defeating the Yong army... It sounds thrilling. , if there is a problem in any link, it will lead to death.

In order to find herself as soon as possible and find clues to go back, she is gambling.

Fortunately, this time, she won the bet.

"Where's that mirror?" Luo Ning asked.

Lu Pianpian took out the ordinary bronze mirror with rust spots and smoke and handed it to Luo Ning.

"It was this mirror that blocked the spear. My mother gave it to me."

Luo Ning took the bronze mirror, which still carried Lu Pianpian's body temperature and fragrance.

He rubbed the bronze mirror and felt a stab mark on it from a spear tip.

If it weren't for this bronze mirror, the thief's spear would have pierced Lu Pianpian's heart...

Even though Lu Pianpian was sitting next to him lively at this moment, Luo Ning was still scared and felt the chill of the spear.

"Fortunately..." Luo Ning felt that this ordinary bronze mirror was extremely precious, "I must thank your mother."

Lu Pianpian smiled and said: "This bronze mirror is my most precious thing. Since you like it, I will give it to you. I will be even happier if I put it on you."

Luo Ning did not refuse, "I want it."

He knew what Lu Pianpian meant. Lu Pianpian wanted him to be safe.

Lu Pianpian was very happy to see Luo Ning put away the bronze mirror. She was already a little drunk and continued:

"...But when I gained power and world-shaking prestige, I became even more confused..."

"...None of this is what I really want. I just want to find you, survive this catastrophe in the mortal world, and return to our world, just like...I took you out of the real world before..."

"Whether I am Lu Pianpian, Chu Quan, or Su Chuo, I will never change..."

"Throughout these mortal days, the smell of fireworks in the world of mortals has made me think about something."

"It turns out that the so-called nine souls and eighteen souls, two bodies and two selves, are actually one person, just like the front and back of a mirror."

"The two sides are not good and evil, good and bad, yin and yang, but...cause and effect!"

"The phoenix is actually the divine bird of cause and effect. The so-called nirvana actually means the completion of cause and effect and the annihilation of all tribulations."

She turned to look at Luo Ning, her expression indescribable, "You must understand, Chu Quan is a causal body! Su Chuo and I, one is her cause, and the other is her effect."

"Cause and effect are inherently interdependent, how can they exist alone? If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. Without cause and effect, there is no existence, and without effect, the cause cannot exist."

"Do you know that 'nature is empty and dependent origination'? I understand today. That is the mutual reciprocity of cause and effect."

"It's a pity that I didn't understand it until today."

Luo Ning was stunned when he heard this.

Chu Quan, the master of Tianji Palace and the leader of the Chu clan, turned out to be the incarnation of cause and effect?

Is she a personality transformed from the law of cause and effect?
And Su Chuo and Lu Pianpian are the physical embodiment of her dual personality of cause and effect?
In other words, Chu Quan does not exist as a living person. In fact, there is no Chu Quan at all?
Chu Quan just appears alternately as Su Chuo and Lu Pianpian?

Cause and effect cannot exist alone, they are one. If one of Su Chuo and Lu Pianpian dies, the other will never appear again?
"The emptiness of nature and the emptiness of nature originate from origin." Luo Ning muttered these words, and his expression became confused.

He suddenly understood.

Why did Su Chuo become Princess Wucheng, and Lu Pianpian would also consider herself Princess Wucheng.

Judging from cause and effect, the two of them are basically the same person.

"So you should rest assured." Lu Pianpian said with a smile, "Su Chuo is still alive in the fairy world. If she dies, I will disappear too, and you won't be able to meet me today."

"Now I finally know why she sent me to this world."

"It's not to accompany you, not to help me survive the tribulation. It's because my cultivation level is too low and it's too dangerous to stay in the fairy world. She and I are interdependent. Once I fall, she will be finished too."

"Of course, Su Chuo sent you to this world to let you go through a disaster and hide. It is indeed for your own good."

Luo Ning took the initiative to hold Lu Pianpian's hand, looked at Lu Pianpian with dim eyes, and spoke in a bleak tone.

"I always hate the fact that people's hearts are not as good as water, and they can cause waves in a calm way. Alas, in this life, I will never be able to break away from the bond between you and her."

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to leave your shadow in my lifetime."

"One day, if my Taoist mind is at a loss, the towers are lost in the fog, and the moon is lost in the water, I don't know where to go."

Speaking of this, there were tears in Luoning's dull eyes.

Lu Pianpian put his hand on her face and rubbed it, "Don't worry. The other me and I will not fall so easily."

"Even if you can't reach Nirvana, the cause and effect cannot be perfected, and the world is destroyed, we will accompany you for a journey..."

Luo Ning took the initiative to hug Lu Pianpian and gently patted her back.

"Okay. I will remember your words. You and Su Chuo...Chu Quan must survive."

Lu Pianpian snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes with a contented look.

"Hey, this is the first time in your life that you take the initiative to hug me. Hey, why are you crying?"

Lu Pianpian raised her head in Luo Ning's arms and reached out to wipe away the tears on Luo Ning's face, "Will King Wu Cheng also cry?"

Luo Ning touched Lu Pianpian's hair and said with a tearful smile: "I am just a mortal in the world of mortals, how can the immortal way be to me."

"I am just a passer-by on the rolling road of cause and effect, a small person who has no great opportunities, but in the end I will never change my mind."

"How can a fairy like you, who is born with extraordinary origins, understand?"

Lu Pianpian shook her head: "I don't understand? I don't practice the ruthless way, so why don't I understand? Hee!"

"I know that you are worried about gains and losses. You are afraid that we will die. You have seen too many separations of life and death in this world. You have an ominous premonition, right?"

"The human heart cannot help but be afraid of lovesickness and separation."

Her smile was a little sad, "Medicine can't cure lovesickness, and wine can't relieve separation sorrow. When it comes to separation between life and death, just treat us as a dream, and don't let your Taoist heart be damaged."

"Actually, Su Chuo and I are not mortals at all?"

When Luo Ning heard this, he felt a little sad for some reason.

He wanted to see Lu Pianpian, but unfortunately he was blind and couldn't see.

He took the initiative to hug Lu Pianpian because he wanted to feel Lu Pianpian's presence through touch.

Lu Pianpian seemed to know what Luo Ning was thinking, and comforted:
"Your eyes will definitely recover. If we find a way to restore our cultivation, your eyes and my face will be restored to their original state immediately."

Speaking of this, something suddenly occurred to me.

"Wait a minute, I have a surprise for you."

Lu Pianpian stood up from Luo Ning's arms, put on her shoes and walked out.

Soon, she came back again with a smile on her face and a dry pipe in her hand!

This is a dry tobacco bag made of sapphire, with very exquisite workmanship.

But obviously, there are no dry tobacco pouches in this world.

This may be the only dry tobacco bag in the world of Snow Island.

Obviously, this dry tobacco bag was specially made by Lu Pianpian. The purpose is to give Luo Ning a surprise after finding him.

She knew that Luo Ning liked to smoke dry cigarettes.

Of course, in addition to dry tobacco pouches, there are also cut tobacco.

It was also she who ordered the hard-fought search in Yan country.

Lu Pianpian lit the dry pipe and asked, "Do you know what it is? Are you happy? Hehe."
