Chapter 495 The Song of Stone Bridge, Marry Me As Your Wife(1/2)
"How to repay the favor?"
Even though Chen Jun thought hard, he couldn't figure it out.
Although a woman like Bai Suzhen is kind and gentle by nature and treats everyone with gentleness, it is impossible to change her mind easily on something she has decided.
Otherwise, she would not have the cultivation level she has today, and she would be only one step away from ascending to the immortal world.
"How do you want to repay your kindness?" Chen Jun asked.
"I have no idea."
Bai Suzhen shook her head, tying her black hair with her pure white hands, and said with some distress: "You lack nothing, your cultivation is better than mine, and your identity is more mysterious than mine. I can't think of how to repay your kindness.
If you want anything, you can do it, even if it’s my body.”
"What do I want with your body?"
Chen Jun glanced at Bai Suzhen. This gentle and glowing woman was extremely charming and heart-warming, "Do you like me?"
"like?"
Thinking of this question, Bai Suzhen's cheeks turned slightly red. She didn't expect that such words would come out of his mouth directly.
"A little bit."
Bai Suzhen nodded, "A scholar like Young Master Xu should be very popular in the world. The Young Master has the grace to save my life and enlighten me. Suzhen does have a good impression of the Young Master."
"How much do you like it?" Chen Jun continued to ask, trying to enlighten her.
Bai Suzhen frowned, as if she was forced into a corner and couldn't speak.
"Then let me tell you another story."
"good."
Chen Jun asked: "Do you know Venerable Ananda, a disciple of Buddha?"
Bai Suzhen nodded, "I know one thing. Venerable Ananda is Devadatta's younger brother and the Buddha's cousin. He is one of the ten disciples of the Buddha. I don't know about the others."
"Then do you know the love disaster Ananda has experienced?" Chen Jun recalled the story in Jianyu and said slowly: "
One day.
Ananda said to the Buddha: I have fallen in love with a woman.
Buddha asked Ananda: How much do you like this woman?
Ananda said: I would like to transform into a stone bridge and be exposed to the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years, just to have her pass by on the bridge."
Bai Suzhen opened her beautiful eyes wide, showing deep shock.
Chen Jun chuckled lightly, "How much do you think Ananda likes you? Can you fall in love at first sight and be devoted to your whole life? But he has waited without asking for anything in return? He understands all this and is still willing to accept fate just for that encounter.
Even if I abandon the Tao and accept the suffering of love, I still have to wait for the girl I met on the stone bridge."
"Suzhen, we met for the first time, and it was because of fate, but love is so complicated. It gives me a headache just thinking about it." A bitter smile flashed across Chen Jun's lips.
His original intention was to let Bai Suzhen find an excuse at random, or just give him an item she had with her and settle the matter. But in this world, nothing is cheap.
Bai Suzhen opened her mouth and fell silent again.
Asking herself, she really didn't know that she liked Ananda as much as she did, but why did she have so many mixed feelings in her heart? The entanglement between cause and effect might have become even deeper.
At this time, the boatman suddenly said loudly: "There is an old saying in our industry: After ten years of cultivation, you will live in the same boat, and if you spend a hundred years of cultivation, you will sleep on the same pillow. It is the fate of being in the same boat. Ananda is not Ananda. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't.
I like it, I like it physically, I also like it mentally, there’s no nonsense about it.”
The black-topped boat was only slightly covered by curtains, not sealed, and there was no isolation between the two. After the rain stopped, the boatman listened to the second half of what he said and complained for Bai Suzhen: "You, a scholar, talk about truth and shut up.
Just ask how much money would it be worth to change this girl’s heart?”
Chen Jun laughed dumbly. What the boatman said actually made sense.
Bai Suzhen had a flash of inspiration and muttered slightly: "Ten years of cultivation can make you travel in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can make you sleep on the same bed!" Is this a reminder from God?
"Mr. Xu, Suzhen is willing to stay with you no matter what."
"All right."
Chen Jun's eyes fell on that intellectual, quiet and beautiful face, and he smiled, "How about we limit it to ten years? You stay with me and practice with me, and in the end, regardless of whether you and I are destined to be together, it will all be settled.
,How about it?"
"Okay, I will stay with you to practice."
Bai Suzhen nodded her head and agreed. With her extremely kind character, she and Xu Xian may gradually develop feelings for each other after ten years of getting along with each other. In the end, even the immortal path may be in vain, but so what, fate is born, no matter how difficult it is to break, the result will be
Let’s discuss it ten years later.
"Let's go. The wind has stopped and the rain has stopped. Why don't we go outside and have a look."
The boat arrived at the bank of Liudi, and Chen Jun took Bai Suzhen's hand and got off the boat. At this time, the spring rain was like mist and gauze, as thin as cow hair, which did not affect walking at all, and was most comfortable.
The scenery of lakes and mountains is antique.
Because of the battle on Spring God Lake, there was no one around the lake. Only two people were left walking along the bank of the willow embankment, like a couple of gods and immortals.
"Isn't it true that no one appreciates the beautiful scenery here?" Bai Suzhen felt it was a pity.
"Because of your previous battle, maybe the royal court would have thought that you had been punished by heaven, and it was too late to worry. Then someone would appreciate it. Do you believe that the boatman just now was a powerful man in heaven, waiting for us."
"can you?"
Bai Suzhen was surprised, but she immediately calmed down when she saw Chen Jun's calm expression, "Is there something wrong with this?"
"If there is something, there is nothing. If there is nothing, there is nothing. Why bother with so much. Just as there is a poem in the world:
Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not whistling and walking slowly. The bamboo stick and mango shoes are lighter than the horse, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the misty rain.
The steep spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, and it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly. Looking back to the desolate place, when I return, there is neither wind, rain nor sunshine. "
The breeze blew, and Chen Jun saw Bai Suzhen's black hair flying in the temples blown by the breeze, and her appearance was cute as a girl. He stood by the embankment, standing tall, with the breeze gently blowing on his face, indescribably free and unrestrained. Bai Suzhen carefully
After taking a few peeks, she felt that she would never see enough of that handsome face. There was no obstruction or worry around him, which made people feel at ease. She then thought deeply about the reason, and her face turned red again at the thought.
She was probably in love for the first time. Even though White Snake had been cultivating for thousands of years, which was equivalent to several lives of a mortal, she could fall into the mortal world and face the mortal world that she had never experienced before, and be with a young woman in her twenties.
No difference.
Her emotions were like a blank sheet of paper. She met this destined person at the best age.
In fact, this emotion had sprouted long ago. She was rescued by the shepherd boy who collected medicine in her previous life. A seed had been planted in her heart, and it slowly grew over thousands of years. Later, even if this memory was proved to be useless,
Yes, but it doesn't matter anymore, because she met a better person.
"Can you tell me a story about your past?"
Bai Suzhen looked at his face and suddenly had this strong idea, so she asked.
"You want to know about my past?
There is a saying in our hometown that a woman who falls in love with a man often falls out of curiosity."
Bai Suzhen's face turned red, "I've already said I like you, will you still fall for me?"
"Hahaha..." Chen Jun was amused by her words, "Okay, listen, I will pick out a few stories that happened in my dreams for you."
In this lecture, we walked from the end of the willow embankment to the head of the willow embankment, and from the beginning of the willow embankment to the end of the willow embankment.
Until heavy snow fell in the sky, Xiaoqing walked up from the pavilion of Spring God Lake and looked at the two people who were already holding hands, "Sister, are you getting better so soon?"
"If you say that again, I will deal with you when you get back."
Bai Suzhen's fair face showed a bit of red, bright and moving, but she did not put down her hands because of embarrassment: "From now on, we will all practice with Mr. Xu?"
"Practice?"
Of course Xiaoqing is willing to rely on a practitioner with strong cultivation, but she is even more confused in her heart, "What are you practicing, sister?"
Chen Jun said, "Just listen to your sister. When you practice by my side, just think of yourself as the two Qingbai Dharma Protectors."
"Protect the Dharma, protect the Dharma well."
When Xiao Qing heard this lofty name, she was overjoyed and said excitedly, "When you become enlightened, don't forget our Dharma protectors and blessings."
Chen Jun laughed softly, "I can't forget it."
This day is the twelfth year of Xiangfu, at the time of winter and spring.
Under the snow, Chen Jun led Qing and Bai into the courtyard of the capital.
Xiaoqian, who was dressed in red, had been sitting in the hall for a long time. A pot of hot wine was warmed on the table. When she saw the three people walking in the courtyard, she was stunned at first, then walked forward with a smile and took a picture of Chen Jun.
Snowflakes fell on my body.
The weather turned cold, so Xiaoqian gave Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing a cup of hot wine each. Although Xiaoqing frowned, she still took the hot wine without showing any expression.
Faced with this delicate relationship, Chen Jun felt dizzy for a while.
After introducing their identities to the three of them, they immediately left and went to the adjacent room to find Yan Chixia.
"Brother Xu is so lucky to have a lovely wife and a beautiful concubine."
Yan Chixia has a straightforward personality. When she saw the subtle scenes happening in the hall, she gave Chen Jun a good laugh.
