I have a request
Under the gray and snowy sky, on the blackened city wall, the thin figure in white sat on the edge of the wall, quietly gazing into the distance.
Behind her, a figure in red, as bright as fire, was standing quietly and gazing into the distance. Suddenly, she saw something and walked slowly to the front. She leaned against the city wall casually, tilted her head, and watched Jiang Jingyuan climb up the city wall.
"Wait for me—"
Another ball of blazing fire rushed across the gray sky, howling at the top of its lungs, and caught up with the city wall.
"Boom!" The ball of blazing fire climbed up the city wall, lost its balance, and fell to the ground, leaving a red-haired fox figure lying on its back.
The little fox's expression was distorted and ferocious. He gritted his teeth, turned over and stood up, and walked step by step to Jiang Jingyuan's side. He swung his tail behind her and shouted in dissatisfaction: "I told you to wait for me!"
Jiang Jingyuan didn't even turn his head. He grabbed the fox's tail and threw it away. He didn't respond to it, but just looked around blankly at the two people on the city wall.
“What’s going on…?”
On the left, Jiang Jingzhao looked at her nonchalantly. On the right, Jiang Jingmang sat on the edge of the city wall, staring into the distance as if unaware. Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that the edges of her figure were illusory and blurry.
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a moment and asked, "'Bobcat'...?"
Jiang Jingzhao was not surprised when he heard this, or rather, he did not care. He said, "Yeah."
"But..." Jiang Jingyuan looked at the figure in white next to him and said hesitantly, "She seems..."
"She's not in her right mind," Jiang Jingzhao answered calmly, "She's intoxicated by death, unable to resist the pull of reincarnation and unable to wake up."
——The power of "Bobcat" kept her where she was, and she could only stay where she was.
Jiang Jingyuan remained silent for a long time, not even knowing why. The little fox beside her looked around at them, but didn't say or move.
Jiang Jingyuan quietly turned his head to look at the figure in white next to him.
Jiang Jingmang remained silent and motionless, staring into the distance, seemingly unaware of any movement outside or on their side.
I don’t know what I’m thinking about, or maybe I’m thinking about nothing.
Jiang Jing was staring at the empty sky and earth covered with gray snow, her eyes blurred as if covered by a layer of fog, but what she saw was not what her eyes saw.
She wandered around the ruins for a long time and never left.
Even if it’s me, I really can’t understand it without experiencing it…
If you want to save me, you should come earlier, because there is still hope and a future to look forward to. But if you come too late, there is no future to look forward to, everything is a mess, and leaving is also despair. Why come to save me?
Why make her make such a painful choice?
If I let her go, I can't let her go, and I can't keep her either. No matter what I choose, it will be torture.
In the end, all the twists and turns can only turn into sad sighs... If only it could have come earlier.
Jiang Jingmang was thinking in the center of the ruins.
"This is the cycle of life and death." Jiang Jingzhao stood up, walked behind her, stretched out his hands slightly, looked at Jiang Jingyuan sideways and said, "She has clearly left life and death, but she still can't get out."
Jiang Jingzhao said, "As soon as I take back the power of 'Mountain Cat', she will instantly, instantly, enter the cycle of reincarnation as she wishes, or remain where she is and become a wandering ghost."
She smiled, "But she's clearly been trapped between life and death by the power of the 'Mountain Cat'. If she could just wake up..."
Jiang Jingyuan was silent.
After looking at them for a long time, Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but open his mouth.
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly felt an impulse of pity, and she almost subconsciously wanted to say to Jiang Jingzhao -
Then... let her go.
She can't wake up, let her go.
"Her next life may not be better than this one." Jiang Jingzhao suddenly said.
Jiang Jingyuan looked at her.
Jiang Jingzhao chuckled softly, raised his hand to gesture towards the figure in white shrouded in sadness in front of him, and said, "This is the cause and karma that connects life after life."
But she couldn't resolve it herself, no matter how long she waited. If she hadn't woken up at that critical juncture, it would have been impossible for her to wake up later... Jiang Jingyuan remained silent. Should she seek out a divine being to resolve it? But where could she find a divine being willing to resolve such a heavy burden?
Who would be willing to do that?
It is not that gods are necessarily compassionate or cold-hearted... It is mortals who impose their own imagination on gods.
Only mortals would wonder what gods must look like. Gods must be extraordinary and stand out from the crowd. They must make everyone feel their magic at a glance and marvel at their extraordinary qualities. They must be beyond mortal control and be astonished at first glance that they are not ordinary people but gods.
Since God and saints are beyond mortals, they are beyond the imagination and understanding of mortals - no matter how you think about it, it is all shackles and illusions.
Jiang Jingyuan pursed his lips and spoke slowly.
"I have the time and patience," Jiang Jingzhao said suddenly. "I'm willing to wait and see. When I get tired of waiting, I'll eliminate some of her karma and send her to reincarnation."
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned.
…………
The man and the fox left.
Jiang Jingyuan held an umbrella and walked silently in the falling snow. Looking at the sky and earth ahead, he slowly said in his heart: "The gods, the heaven and earth, are not the end... What I know, the gods in heaven must also understand, right?"
"Then why don't you and the others reach the state of unity, but only seek to become 'God'?" Jiang Jingyuan was puzzled.
A familiar voice echoed in my mind: "This is attachment to form."
"Just like the emperors of the human world, do you want to ask them why they don't become immortals?" He said, "It doesn't matter whether they are attached to appearances or not. It is just a choice. Don't impose your own ideas on them."
He said:
"All living beings have their own freedom and choices."
…………
In the snow and ice, the crowd moved forward slowly and orderly.
The person at the front was completely shrouded in a cloak, holding a handful of incense in her hand, and walked slowly. But no one hurried to overtake her. Everyone just followed her slowly, their faces full of joy.
The faint words "Red Sleeves Add Fragrance" were written on a few incense sticks, and curls of white smoke blew up in the whiteness. As she walked forward, the thin smoke slowly drifted towards the people behind her, bringing peace and tranquility.
They walked in the snow with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, people came running over one after another, tears of joy and excitement streaming down their faces. They suddenly prostrated themselves, crying out to the figure in front:
"Save us, please save us..."
In front, Meng Shuangfu, tightly wrapped in a plush cloak, stopped. Under the hood, she had a dull expression and no emotion could be seen. She just looked quietly at the large group of people in front of her without responding.
Behind her, the crowd was restless and agitated.
The smiles on their faces suddenly changed, and they almost subconsciously wanted to step forward to expel the people, but when they saw the figure in front, they gritted their teeth and held back.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of disgust, resentment, jealousy, and uneasiness surged in my heart.
Deep disgust!
Why? Their expressions were distorted and their eyes were filled with resentment.
People are selfish, and they subconsciously hide the truly good things. What they can give away is not bad, but just a kind of "good enough" that doesn't matter. Let's not talk about people. Even if you throw a piece of meat to a dog, the dog will hide it in its den to eat it!
They stared at the large group of people coming in front of them, full of rejection.
This is the guiding star they've been searching for, the leader they've been working on for years. Why on earth can anyone get a piece of the action now?!
They had searched for many years before, but had never seen a few beings who knew all this, but now!
Suddenly, the same people began to appear in droves, one after another, in just one day, and their numbers continued to grow significantly with each passing day.
They could not help but feel a strong sense of resentment and disgust in their hearts.
Why did I never see it before, but now it keeps popping up?!
Because this is the phase... Everyone's back teeth were gritting.
Because, I am not in the appearance, but I am also in the appearance. The "I" is part of the appearance, and the "I" cannot exist independently from the appearance.
As you change, your appearance will surely grow and improve with you!
But why!
They used to want to kick the Prime Minister far away and get rid of him completely, but now, they are told that the Prime Minister will grow with them?
How could they not feel resentment and jealousy when ordinary people suddenly became saints overnight?
absurd!
Why should they work so hard while the Prime Minister gets to benefit for nothing?! They were so angry that they trembled all over and wanted to rush over and tear the Prime Minister to pieces.
But, no.
Catching a glimpse of the familiar figure in front of them, everyone took a deep breath and calmed themselves down, staring coldly at the people running towards them.
Not only is frost floating, but the emotions of selfishness, disgust and resentment are still mortal.
You have to be tolerant of yourself.
Helpless, they could only suppress their anger and try to calm themselves, thinking that the progress of the photo was a reflection of their own progress...
They couldn't help but grit their teeth again.
What if the changes were gradual? Yet, the results they had painstakingly worked on for months and years vanished overnight!
——Even shorter than a night and a day.
Why, why, why... They once thought that they could get rid of appearances by becoming saints!
Unprecedented and intense hatred swept over them like a tsunami. They clenched their fists tightly, gritted their teeth, and stood firm in their places.
Haha...they even know why the meeting is like this.
Because, the disgust, resentment, jealousy, and uneasiness that could not be aroused before now help to arouse myself, and now I have to, well, resolve them.
Everyone took a deep breath, a deep breath, and another deep breath, then slowly smiled and looked straight at the familiar figure in front of them with admiration and trust, not even glancing at the newcomer.
To achieve transcendence and sainthood, one must eliminate hatred, layer by layer. But they are currently unable to completely eliminate it… Everyone thought coldly.
so.
They smiled and listened to the crying and noise around them without any expression.
Not blocked, not welcomed.
…………
In the quiet and deserted mountain forest, not even a trace of birds or animals was seen. Only snow fell on the branches, piled on the grass, and melted into the stream.
Rustling...
Two figures in white came slowly and leisurely, their postures casual and relaxed, strolling slowly among the grass and trees.
Far behind them, a crane, mostly black and white with a few red outlines, was carrying a storage space bag on its back. Its eyes were full of tears, and it would occasionally lift its wings to wipe away its tears, then slowly catch up.
"Walk faster, or you'll be left outside." Qin Jiuyan said casually, tilting his head in front.
Xianhe took a few quick steps with tears in his eyes, following them not too far but not too close, and hid beside Qin Gejue.
"Mind your own business." Qin Gejue said to her coldly, raising his hand to touch the head of the crane next to him.
The crane was moved and snuggled up to her hands.
Qin Jiuyan snorted coldly, opened his mouth, and suddenly blinked in a daze. He and Qin Gejue beside him stopped and turned around.
Behind them, Jiang Jingyuan slowly walked towards them.
The girl in white stopped, raised her face slightly, her eyes were calm, and a barely perceptible smile shone on her lips. She said:
"I've come to you to fulfill the favor we made in that deal."
"I...have a request."
