From the heart of the writer

The starting point for writing this fic. Start by listening to 3 songs. Each song has a main character with a heartbreaking story. Therefore, there was a feeling that drove If you take characters with the same heart Understand each other's feelings, let's meet. They became friends and traveled together. Waiting to heal each other's hearts, how good will it be? The first character is Tao Gu.

From the song My Female Priest Friend(我的一个道姑朋友), the second character is Dong Shi, from the song Dong Shi(东施

Dōng shī）

And the third person, Wei Hongqian, this character is a bit special. Because it's not in the lyrics. But we write from our imagination after listening to music. reincarnation(轮回

Lún huí ) 

Therefore, it was created as Wei Hongqian and put together in this fic. I really want to add more content as a spin-off of Wei Hongqian as Hong Xiao. But I'm still in two minds. Let's go listen to the song. There is a translation with Thai subtitles from the YouTube channel called Channel.

Inside a tavern

The slender figure of a young woman in a white dress with blue trim and long sleeves slowly moved upwards. Dao Gu swept his sharp eyes around the area. Ignoring every pair of eyes looking straight at you as if it were a habit. She had already ordered food and tea. Xiao Er will bring it in a moment. She likes to find her own seat. So I don't want someone to lead the way.

Ding….The faint sound of a musical instrument completely caught her attention.

So melodious and touching, but so sad...

I wanted to imaginary the owner of the instrument. who sat two tables away from where she stood.

Ding... Even if you sit with your back turned. But still able to recognize the clarity of the Phi Pha song She couldn't help but think about what kind of hands could play such a motivating song the first time she heard it. Without any delay, the young female monk immediately headed towards her goal. The elegant posture and the clear, resonant voice of the ghost invite people to fall into a trance and not drink alcohol.

Dong Chu stopped his finger that was gently cutting onto the cliff ghost. He looked up suspiciously at the visitor beside the table.

“?” The face under the veil was blurry. But Daogu admired the young woman's calmness but not panic.

“The sound of your Phi Pha playing is very beautiful. I'm afraid I might have met a genius. Don't you know what your name is?"

It was the first time I met someone I liked. She even naturally collapsed onto the opposite seat. The person being asked just smiled through a light veil. Place your hand lightly on the instrument. calm demeanor Bow your head and bow in gentle humility.

“My name is Dong Si. Not a genius as you understand. Just an ordinary person who can play Phi Pha. I have disgraced you.” A soft voice sounded through the veil. The speaker's face is concealed so that it is difficult to see the expression.

“Is that so?” Daogu said softly. Don't mind that humble statement. It was clear that the woman in front of her had an unparalleled level of skill.

“I still don't know your last name.” Daogu's beautiful eyes moved to meet the speaker's.

“Ah, that's it. I'm really bad. My name is Taogu.”

The conversation fell silent as Xiao'er brought a few kinds of food and tea to the table.

“Dong Shi, can I sit here?” Dao Gu nodded at Xiao Er. He watched the other person leave before turning to ask permission. “I have no problem with you. Dong Shi, it is an honor to meet Lord Daogu,” said a gentle voice under the veil. I felt the sincerity of those words. Daogu's two eyebrows immediately relaxed.

Holding a rice bowl in hand, holding chopsticks, he slowly savored the food on the table with satisfaction, a smile on his lips. "I don't know why...I feel so attracted to you."

The female monk spoke up.

Dong Shi tilted his head slightly, lowered his eyes and said sarcastically, “Probably because we have similar things.”

She raised her eyes. speak softly “Because they are similar. So I met you."

“Is that so…” It turned out to be an absent-minded Daogu. Both hands put down the rice bowl and chopsticks after just a few bites. Both eyes looked at the sky, "It's raining," he said softly to himself. Have you seen any rain? She often felt depressed. In my head I thought of someone's soft embrace. The sound of a strong oath

In the middle of the heavy rain, it was like the sound of our hearts….

Dong Shi noticed that Daogu was in a trance. She only smiled in understanding and gently flicked the ghost in her hand. The melodious voice resounded. If it's sad The performer is very determined to convey his feelings to the listener. Taogu sat and listened until the other party finished playing, then turned and asked, “What is the name of the song? Why do I feel so sad?

Sad from the first time I heard it, both shocked and aroused.

It is as if you have faced a story of suffering and distilled it into a song. Dong Shi listened to those words. Her smile widened slightly. He explained in a soft voice. “Dong Si Chao Song. I wrote this song for myself. To represent my feelings towards him.”

“Do you already have a lover?” It wouldn't be strange. Dong Si has the ability. Playing the Phi Pha Phrao melody He also has a gentle demeanor. Everyone was infatuated, but Dong Shi shook his head and smiled faintly, “I don't have anyone to love you. In fact, it's because my face is too ugly for him to accept.” After saying that, she raised her hand to reveal her veil. The face hidden within "..."

Dong Shi's face surprised Daogu. She wasn't afraid. Just shocked that Dong Si dared to reveal her face to a stranger like her. Aren't you afraid she'll gossip about it? It was different from the surrounding people who were buzzing and gossiping as soon as they saw her face. People all hurriedly left as if they had seen something bad. The female monk looked at the others' expressions and opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But decided not to say because the ghost dancer held it back

“I'm used to it.” Dong Shi, whose face was uncovered, laughed softly, as if he knew what Dao Gu was going to say. Those bright eyes were tinged with a slight sadness.

We were both silent for a while, but the woman in front of us spoke first.

“Do you want to try listening to my story?” Those eyes made Tao Gu unable to refuse.

She looked into the people's eyes, waiting for a direct answer. He answered in a low voice. “If you want to vent. I'm happy to listen.”

Two people who don't know each other Let's meet on a rainy day. Let's share our bitter past with each other. This must be fate, Taogu thought. His white hand raised the tea cup and took a sip. Two people listening intently.

“Originally, I had a career playing phipha alongside Xi Si... but Xi Si was a beautiful woman. Sweet, sweet demeanor Always attract guests to gather around. So she was chosen to play the first song. While I was hiding behind a bamboo curtain, playing with ghosts. No matter how much Probably only finished playing the song.”

“..." Dao Gu picked up the tea cup and drank, listening to her quietly. Dong Si smiled bitterly. Eyes as if recalling a very nostalgic past

“One day While I was playing the cliff ghost Found that there was a gentleman who was different from others. If it were anyone else, they would listen to the music with their eyes only on Xi Su's face. Only he didn't give Xi Si a single glance. Just let your eyes wander. Waiting quietly to hear the final song.” Those eyes suddenly sparkled brightly.

“I am extremely impressed with him. He must have liked me a bit, so he made an appointment to meet. He said he wanted to see my face.”

“So, did you agree or not?” Daogu asked. Dong Shi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she lowered her eyes, holding a ghost cliff in her hand.

“Before we met, I once asked him what he liked about me. Even though I haven't found the face yet. The young man replied: A woman who can sing such wonderful songs It must be a beautiful woman that would be difficult to meet in a thousand years.”

What a dreamy man, Daogu thought.

“In my heart at that time, I was very bitter. Said that even Xi Su didn't care. And my appearance, which is so far from Xi Si, must have disappointed him.” A white hand flicked the ghost in his hand. It was a soft, high-pitched voice, as if he was thinking about something else in his mind. “I didn't expect him to immediately reply, 'Others may use their eyes to judge a beautiful woman.

But what I use is my heart.' He also assured me that if I had a heart, He will not disappoint me.” Her eyes shifted to meet Daogu's. So many feelings packed in there. The young female monk suddenly looked up. “When I heard this, I was very happy. Receive the green jade he gave as a gift.

Promised to come see him in three days. I will reveal my face….tell you that even though in my heart I know that I am not beautiful. It cannot be a red peony that anyone can admire and admire. “The strength that once existed is gradually being eroded. The speaker's voice began to shake a little. “I have decorated myself to the best of my ability. He had seen Si Si's eyebrows furrowed beautifully so he practiced.

I thought to myself that I was a beautiful young woman. three days later I am very excited and happy. I think that this time I will have met someone who knows my heart. From now on, I won't have to hide behind the bamboo curtain.” His lips pursed. He had a hard time holding back the lump in his throat.

“Even if the whole world laughs at my appearance, You disrespect me. If there's just one gentleman who understands me a little, that's enough. I don't want anything else. I intend that from today on, I will only let that young man listen to me.” A beautiful tear fell. The pupils were obscured by enormous tears.

Dong Shi could no longer maintain his composure. His voice trembled like a little bird being shaken by the wind. “Unexpectedly, after that young master saw me, Will show an expression of extreme shock and terror. He quickly turned and ran away. Since then, he hasn't appeared again.” Tears flowed down and fell into her lap. Some drops flow and remain on the cliff.

Tao Gu handed him a thin handkerchief. Mouth spoke comforting words to his friend. “If it hurts you, There is no need to continue the story.” Instead, Dong Shi shook his head. Received a towel to wipe away tears and said while sobbing.

“It's okay. I want to finish telling the story.” Looking into those sad eyes, she softened.

“As you please,” I heard. Dong Si suddenly felt warm in his heart. Close your eyes and calm your ragged breathing. “At that moment, I knew immediately. That the desire in my heart will never come true again. Because I lost my beloved who had hoped to share life and death with me on that day.”

“You must have suffered a lot in the past.” Daogu moved his seat to sit next to Dong Si. Watching the tears on his face with sympathy She wrapped one hand around Dong Si's shoulder to comfort the trembling heart of the person next to her.

His mouth began to teach stories that had been buried in his heart and still had fresh wounds coming out. “It is good that you did not marry such a hypocrite. It's good that you didn't give your whole heart to that stupid man. Don't be like me. Living such a ridiculous life.” Daogu looked blankly out of the tavern window. The atmosphere returned. It was raining like that day.

The day your love will begin But there's no end.

“Can you tell me your story?” Lady Dong Si had a little snot on her nose, her nose was red, and she had a handkerchief in her hand to wipe away the stray tears until it was clean again. Taogu nodded slightly.

At that moment, heavy footsteps came back and stood beside the table. Turning around, he saw Xiao'er and a stranger.

Xiao'er apologized several times. while saying that there were not enough seats May this lady please sit with me?

Dao Gu looked at the visitor with a calm expression. Seeing the dull gray aura of the other party smiling, it felt like meeting an old friend who had been separated for a long time. Expecting that Dong Si felt the same way, he nodded in permission. She herself was not a very troublesome person. On the contrary, in this atmosphere, she did not have the strength to do anything.

“Nice to meet you two, my surname Wei is Hong Qian,” the visitor greeted brightly. She was a girl about the same age as them, with a bright face, not quite as beautiful as the rest of the world, but still friendly and approachable.

“I am Daogu, next to me is Dong Shi.” The young female monk introduced herself briefly.

“Nice to meet you all.” Lady Wei smiled faintly. Soon the three of them began to become close. Both parties then realized that there was not much difference in age. The most Taogu Dong Shi and Wei Hongqian were the same age.

“It is good that the three of us met. You can call me Qian'er, Brother Daogu Dong Si.” Because of his bright smile and non-conceit, both Daogu and Dong Si felt liked. So they all nodded in agreement. Anyway, they met each other. Why be considerate of each other? At this time, there are many people waiting to sit and confide in each other, which is quite good.

The table before had only Dong Shi. At this time, there was another Hong Qian in the opposite area. Daogu was still sitting next to Dong Si. The two of them silently watched the guests in front of them take care of the additional food they had ordered, thinking with amusement that she must be very hungry.

“Before I came, what were you talking about?” she asked curiously.

“Well….it's not important at all. It's just a story.” Dao Gu, who had now relaxed his embrace to comfort Dong Si, replied. The back is erect. Very nice to look at.

“All right, please tell me,” she begged. Daogu didn't deny it and nodded in acceptance.

“Yes, it was such a heavy rainy day…” Her eyes began to wander, looking at the rain outside the window again, “In Luoyang that day. It's raining very heavily. Among many people There's someone looking at me."

“Your lover?” Hong Qian asked. The female monk nodded and declined, “Yes and no.”

“He walked towards me. Said he likes me. I think… I like him too.” Silence. No one dared to interject.

“Then I met him again at someone's auspicious event. Strangely, his side was not empty. A woman followed. People admired that they were as suitable as golden branches and jade leaves. I myself also feel...that it is very appropriate.” The atmosphere was quiet. Both Dong Shi and Hong Qian looked at each other. The blood in his body suddenly turned cold.

The man who once confessed his love Walking with other women People also praise that they fit each other like branches of gold and leaves of jade…. What kind of joke is this? Even if he was curious, no one dared to ask. Because each of them could guess what the story would be like.

“Still, something is not right. In fact, he should be me by his side...or was the word love that day a lie? Or was it him who didn't think carefully about his words before telling them to me? Or are my many efforts not good enough for him? Yes or no? Why did the story go so different from the original?” Daogu frowned, pursed his lips tightly.

The young female monk raised her head and shook her head lightly. His musings were soft but they pierced the hearts of those who listened.

“If he loved others from the beginning Why would you come and speak sweet words for me to listen to? Why accept the umbrella and give me that warm hug? Why would he say a promise so strong it melts the snow in my heart? Or are they satisfied when they see me not being myself?” The storyteller's eyes were filled with images of the past that had come and gone.

“At the wedding, he stood with my heart but I didn't...he still wore the same white dress as before, and so did I. Why aren't your feelings for me the same? Three parts of his face became colder. Do you know how much heartache I have? “Her voice rose and fell rhythmically. But it's like floating in a dream. before turning to look at Hong Qian

“At that time, I should have pretended to be sober.”

“Lean and lean against him. Then kiss him once.”

“Pretend to tell stories from the past when the two of us were still together in front of people without caring about heaven or earth.” Said that you are mine. Not just a female ascetic friend… as you claim. Daogu's last sentence was not spoken. She swallowed down the lump in her throat in agony. The pain still raged and burned in my chest.

“But you didn't do it,” was Hong Qian who greeted. Taogu gave a small smile in acceptance.

“Yes, I didn't. I just smiled faintly. Pretending that he is fine even though he has to listen to sweet and irritating words, not speaking, not looking at the face that he misses so much. Close your eyes and drink alcohol like you don't care.”

“This is a story that has deeply moved me,” Dong Shi said in a low voice. The tip of the nose began to turn red.

“I think so. But why does this story seem like your own story?” The young girl named Hong Qian greeted again. He made a face. Daogu closed his eyes and laughed softly in his throat. Before that, a pair of sharp eyes caught the eye of the person asking.

“I said I would tell you a story. But didn't you tell me? That the main character of the story is myself” that's all. Hong Qian was speechless.

“What did you do in the end?” Dong Shi asked curiously. Taogu looked at the person who spoke. He raised his hand and gently stroked the younger man's shiny black hair. speak in a calm voice

“I just sneered to myself… taking comfort in the fact that this was all in the past. It's good that I've lived so long. I've been mentally abused thousands of times. Just his lies There is no way to cause me pain, there is no way…”

His mouth said so, but why did he see Tao Gu's self-deprecating smile slipping away? Dong Si and Hong Qian felt that it was extremely distressing.

“I decided to leave the past to the wind. Abandon the sword that binds as a sign of the soul. Let the snow pile up like a grave for the dead. I missed meeting him in this life. I hope it ends well.” Even though every time I cross the bridge or see the rain, I think of the past of the two of us under the umbrella that year. Memorize it by heart. Just sleep and dream for a while.

Nothing worth remembering To be shattered and disappear without leaving a trace. No feelings left Tao Gu thought as he closed his eyes.

Opening their eyes, both Dong Si and Hong Qian could not find any traces of tears. Or regret like Taogu said. Even if you look at it, you still can't forget the past story. But it can be said that he is extremely strong.

“You Lao Tong Shi. Do you still miss him until now?” Every sentence that came out was filled with affection. It was as if the older sister was sharing her feelings with her younger sister. Dong Shi smiled.

“Sir, I just hope he has a happy, peaceful and fulfilling life. There was a beautiful woman beside him. As long as we're together as long as our hair is gray and white...I'm satisfied." There was no sarcasm in his tone. There was no irritation on Goru's face. You could tell that the girl really felt what she said.

She prayed to the person who left her. Let only good things happen...even if his actions aren't even worthy of forgiveness. She has a very kind heart. “Excellent,” Taogu mused, his thin hand touching the cheek of the person next to him. While gently caressing “Even though you do not have a beautiful appearance like that of an angel from heaven, But my heart was so pure and filled with goodness that I was ashamed.

If I were born as a man, I would probably come and ask for you.” In this life, Daogu has never met anyone who spoke well to him. Now there are people who come to admire it. She was so happy that her cheeks were red. She bowed her head to avoid the hand that touched her in embarrassment. "You're just kidding me."

Hong Qian looked at the actions of the two of them. Sensing the relaxed atmosphere, he greeted in a cheerful voice, “Hey, you two. After all, you all have gone through some bad things. Let's have a drink to celebrate." He saw them look suspicious. So she spoke again. This time pour three cups of tea according to the number of people.

“I would be delighted if you two would join me for a drink. To show our friendship,” held the goblet in front of the two of them. Both Daogu and Dong Si raised their cups almost at the same time. Hong Qian smiled widely in delight. Grabbing the end of his sleeve, he lifted up his tea cup and said, “I, Qian'er, would like to drink it for you. On the occasion of meeting good friends like you.”

“I, Daogu, am also happy to meet you two.”

“Young Master Dong Shi, it is an honor to know you two.”

“From now on, we will be friends. Even though we weren't born on the same day But I want to die on the same day. You stay, I stay. No one leaves each other. Love each other until the day we die.” The three last sentences were said almost at the same time. The expressions on each person's face were happy that everyone's thoughts were the same in their hearts. How important is the age difference? Being friends has no boundaries.

The jingle, the sound of the cup crashing loudly, was a signal of acceptance of the oath. Fulfilled by drinking the whole cup. The ceremony was finished when the goblet was placed back in its original place. When you're a friend Any matter of distress should be shared.

“Hong Qian”

“What do you say, Dong Si?” The person who was called turned to ask. A swallow-shaped chandelier floats gently in the air.

“I would like to ask you a question.” He couldn't finish his sentence. The other party immediately raised his hand to stop him.

“Hey, hey, we're friends now. Feel free to ask about anything. Don't be considerate.”

“Is that so?”

“It is like that,” he said, smiling. The hairpin on his head suddenly started to tilt back and forth.

“Then I ask, where did you buy that hairpin?” Hong Qian was startled. Automatic head handle His alertness, different from normal, caught Daogu's attention. Dong Shi looked puzzled.

“Is there something wrong? Qian'er?” was the woman who asked when she saw the worry in this girl's eyes.

“Nothing, I just bought it from the stall at the market. Why do you ask?”

“I'm just asking like that. When I saw your expression, I became confident…” The Phi Pha musician raised his voice to make the audience excited. He leaned down near the table in a whisper. A thin hand raised to the ear of the opposite person, “I know you are the youngest daughter of the Wei family.” He lowered his voice. Or would the young monk not hear her? She raised her eyebrows, “Wei Family?”

From what I've heard It seemed to be a wealthy noble family. Serving the royal family for a long time, her power is overwhelming. The eldest daughter is an emperor. The second son holds the position of advisor to the royal army.

Why did the youngest daughter of an ancient family appear in a small town? Far from the capital like this?

“Ah...it seems like I can't close it.” The youngest daughter of the Wei family breathed out, making a face. A worried expression flashed across his face for just a moment and it disappeared. “Why did this matter escalate so quickly?” The other two mumbled to themselves without realizing it.

“What is it like? Dear Hong'er You won't tell me why you are walking around this small town.”

Hong Qian was unfazed by Dao Gu's teasing question. But it was Dong Shi's curious expression mixed with the adorable curious look in his eyes that made her unable to soften her heart. After hesitating for a while, he decided to give up.

“Alright, alright, I accept you all. Tell and tell,” the guard responded. Two blossoms suddenly bloomed, each beautiful in a different way.

Daogu and Dong Si's smiles were truly extraordinary. The little girl suddenly thought in her heart. His face softened into a smooth expression. Adjust your posture to be comfortable. before speaking in a heavy voice

“I will tell you. But you have to take my word for it. That they wouldn't laugh at me.” Seeing the two of them nodding their heads made her even more troubled. Take one breath When he summoned courage, he slowly reached into his shirt.

“What is this?” Daogu asked. Watching the little hand place something on the table

“It is an auspicious tassel,” Hong Qian replied. “You guys probably want to know what's so strange about it. I will tell you.” With that, she began to tell me the story of the origin of the tassel and the dream.

“Hong Qian, is it true that this tassel was born with you?” Dong Shi couldn’t help but ask in an excited tone. The stories I heard were exciting. It's so mysterious and mysterious that you think it's a lie. But he insisted in a strong voice.

“It's true. This auspicious tassel has been with me for a long time. The nurse told me when it appeared, I don't know. Realize again Even as a baby, I held it in my chest.” She looked down. Caress the tassel in your hand with care. His mouth kept telling the stories he had met.

"I once dreamed of a man..." Just the introduction of the story makes you want to follow along.

“I once dreamed of a man. Standing in a place I've never seen before That person had a sharp face, strong chest, broad shoulders, and was tall and wore expensive clothes. In a hand holding a fan Very dignified posture.”

Throughout the story Hong Qian's eyes were filled with fog, vague and unclear. It'll be clear soon. It'll be blurry. It was clear that the little girl did not admire the man in her dreams in the slightest. “Every night I see him keep saying something, but strangely, there is no one standing beside him.”

So who is he talking to?

“Wa, from what I heard, are you sure he is a person?” Dong Gu couldn't help but ask. She was very afraid of ghosts. He didn't even dare to listen to these things at night.

“Even though I don't know him, I'm sure he's a person just like me and you, and not some ghost.”

“What makes you think like that?” was Tao Gu who asked. She seemed interested in this matter until she noticed. Hong Qian turned to answer the question. “Because I saw it. That person's life seen since he was born Until he died.” The faces of the people listening now showed intense surprise. “I also think it's strange. How is it that people can see so many images of one person as if they are the same person? I don't understand, but…”

“But which one?”

“I am not afraid of that man,” Hong Qian said. She closed her eyes in thought. “You probably think it's funny. But I felt something. It was a feeling of depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and heartache every time I saw him. Tears flow from my eyes every time.”

“How long have you been like this?”

"Since the age of 16"

“It's been exactly 1 year since I asked you, aside from the picture of that man. Did you see anything else?”

“See.” Hong Qian nodded.

“Apart from the gray-robed man. At first, I didn't actually see him with anyone. But every time I hold this red tassel to sleep I find that every time I dream He will always be with another man.”

This time, both Dong Si and Dao Gu looked at each other in consultation. A little girl who was born with a tassel hanging from her body. Growing up and reaching the age of sixteen, Nao dreamed of a vision from birth until death of a man. And that man was always with another man. How should they express their opinions on such a strange matter?

“Have you ever heard of them?”

“Once, at a jewelry store. The gray robed man called the other person Shen Luyang.”

“As for the person who has always been in my dreams, my name is Hong Xiao.”

“The two of them, as far as I see them, are dear friends, one fighting, the other planning, one falling, the other supporting. Where there is Shen Luyang, there must also be Hong Xiao. I thought they were very close until..”

“What happened to them?”

“It seems that Shen Luyang has feelings for a woman. He loved him so much that he gave up his job to pursue her. But I don't know why every time I look at that picture I feel pain.”

“It was like a thousand needles stuck into my heart. I want to comfort the man named Shen Luyang. Many times I was able to embrace him. But everything else will disappear as well.”

“I saw everything. But I couldn't put my hand in, even though I knew. In the end, I had to watch him die in front of me."

"!"Dong Si was stunned.

“Does that mean Shen Luyang died?” It was Dao Gu who asked.

“Wait, let me review the situation for a moment. That is, Shen Luyang is a friend of Hong Xiao. The two of them are very close. Later, Shen Luyang fell in love with a woman. Willing to give up work even if in the end it is not fulfilling. And then you found him dead?” The female monk pondered.

“Before his death, many things happened,” Hong Qian argued.

“It's not that. What I want to know is The man you saw from the time he was born until he died So, is it Shen Luoyang?”

"no"

“You have misunderstood. The man I had always seen was Hong Xiao. But by Hong Xiao's side, there was always Shen Luoyang with him.”

“But you said you saw Shen Luoyang die,” Dong Shi argued.

“That's what I'm about to tell you. They actually died together.”

“What do you say?”

“It's true. The image I saw was Shen Luoyang accepting a hail of arrows on behalf of the woman he loved. And Hong Xiao was the one who swallowed the poison and died a few seconds later.” Silence covered the table.

“Why is this happening?” Dong Shi had tears in his eyes. She was deeply moved by this tragedy.

But it was strange that Taogu sat quietly and didn't speak. It took a long time before he spoke up. “Hong Qian” waited for the person to be called to turn around and handed her a small blue embroidered cloth bag. “This is…?” Hong Qian, although stunned, still took it and opened it to look. Inside is fine powder pressed into bars. A cool scent floated out gently. inviting to relax

frankincense? It's like reinforcing confidence. Daogu explained the medicinal properties to him in a soft voice.

“Frankincense is calming, one of the incense that helps relieve fatigue. Its properties help you sleep easily, have good dreams, and relax. Suitable for people who have trouble sleeping like you.”

"Eh, give it to me? Is it expensive or not? I'll pay you back."

“No need, you are my friend. Then he took it. The point before bedtime will work well.”

“Is that so? Thank you very much.”

Dong Si noticed that Daogu's expression seemed to know something about this matter. But if the female monk chooses not to speak She also didn't want to ask to interrupt their conversation. Grab your tea and sip it quietly. Until the little girl's body asked to leave. So slowly ask what you want to know.

“Lord Taogu.”

“What do you say?”

“The story that Hong Qian dreamed of Can you tell me a little? What happened?”

“You know?” Tao Gu's sharp eyes looked at her in amazement. Dong Si suddenly smiled slightly. He humbly said, “I am only guessing. I saw your expression and was very curious.” After speaking, he was rewarded with a palm placed on his head. Tao Gu caressed her hair affectionately, “You are very good at knowing how to see people's facial expressions.”

“I will tell you. In fact, before I met you I've traveled a lot. Saw a lot of things Hong Qian's symptoms I've encountered it before, so I know a bit about it.”

“That she keeps having strange dreams. Dreaming of an unknown person Because it is a symbol of remembering one's life.”

“Remember your past life? Are you telling me that Hong Qian can remember past lives?” The answer was to rest.

“She is seeing images of her past life. The story of seeing Hong Xiao from birth until her death and having various feelings arise was because she was born as him in her previous life. So everything seems to repeat itself, just in a different form.”

“Is it possible? When people die, they must cross the bridge to the Forgotten River. Drink Grandma Meng's curry to erase memories. How can she remember her past life?”

“I think there must have been some event that caused her to remember. And it's probably getting more and more violent.” She wasn't sure what it was. His eyes caught sight of the flowers painted on the Phi Pha musician's head and he immediately thought, red, that red auspicious tassel. Maybe there's a problem...

“So, will that be okay? If she had to suffer every time she had to see herself die, "herself" Just listening to it is heartbreaking. All this, touch, form, taste, image, can the little girl endure this?

I didn't expect Taogu to shake his head in disagreement.

“The problem is not that knowing the cause of death will be painful. I think she doesn't even regret her choice to swallow the poison to end her life. Did Sue'er not notice?”

“You?” What did you notice? Seeing her eyes made me feel as if she had lost.

It's like it's insinuating that she's innocent....maybe she's thinking too much?

“The whole tone The look in your eyes when telling a story expressive behavior I am sure Hong Xiao loves Shen Luoyang.”

The young monk's words shocked her over and over again. Unbelievable, this time it was so violent that she uttered a loud noise without realizing it. “How is that possible? Hong Xiao and Shen Luyang are both…”

“Both men,” her voice was calm. He spoke without interruption. There was seriousness in his eyes, looking straight at her. Dong Si immediately understood the story. Hong Xiao is Duan Xiu. Secretly in love with Shen Luyang, even though the other party loves women. Again, both love and lust One-sided love that is unrequited Every day, I still have to endure seeing the person I secretly love flirting with other women.

If love is over, then go away. I love you so much that I'm willing to die for you. Other people didn't mind, but she understood.

Whoever it is It ends as “Other people” are enough to hurt.

Without the light of hope and a dark end

I don't know what that girl's heart was still clinging to. Even if you are reborn, you will not be able to let go of your past life. I pray that she can let it go and live a happy life.

The atmosphere moves Everyone sat together and stood still. without any words It was as if he wanted to absorb the stories he heard into his heart slowly. It was a long time before the female monk spoke up. Sharp eyes looked out the window. "The rain has stopped." The Phi Pha musician looked into his eyes. It's really like that. A sky without rain It's a very interesting shade of blue.

The clouds moved slowly. The smell after rain is both refreshing and inviting people to move their bodies. As different from before as the sky and the abyss, like this, the sky was never the same every day.

“Yes, the rain has stopped,” she added. Both eyes followed the young monk's slender body. She knew it was probably time to say goodbye. Can't help but feel a little lonely. She still wants to be with Taogu. If it were possible, I would also like to know what Hong Qian would be like. He thought happily, not realizing that he had accepted Dao Gu. Until he came to his senses the next minute. "What is it?"

“I would like to ask if you would be interested in traveling with me?” The female priestess looked at her with a pair of sharp eyes as if she were fond of a small, precious animal. Both of her cheeks suddenly turned red. No, what was that?

"You're inviting me... to go with you?" Why?

“No mistake, I invite you to come with me. Just one word answer Do you want to go with me?” The priestess's heartfelt smile made the ghost musician understand everything. She was inviting her 'comrades' to join her on the journey. Finally, she had it. Someone who would not be afraid of her face, would not gossip about her, and would be completely honest with her. Dong Si was in tears.

He nodded vigorously without saying a word, but Taogu knew well. This woman was so happy that she couldn't speak.

After paying with the hotel They all mounted Taogu's horse. A young female monk controls a horse. Dong Si sat in the back. Two hands embrace the beloved cliff ghost. She didn't have much luggage. Originally, I had no goals in life. There are only treasures like cliff ghosts that have been a source of livelihood for a long time. She returned and covered her face with a cloth.

Because he knows that he shouldn't make himself the center of attention. She wants to have a simple life. While sitting on the horse, they talked and asked about where they were going first. Where will it end up after this? As he rode his horse out of the city They were surprised again.

“Brother Daogu Dongshi,” was young girl Wei Hongqian, waving her hands on a horse far away. As soon as his back caught eyes, a frail figure in a man's outfit galloped closer. “Hongqian, your clothes… "

"I'm going to change. To escape from the people Father sent to follow me back. I've already picked up the pin myself." It's true, I don't have it anymore. I've become a sweet-faced man.

“May I go with you guys? We are friends now. I want to travel with my friends.” This determination matched Daogu and Dong Shi's hearts. You hardly need to think. There was no way they could refuse. Since fate had led the three women to have good luck with each other and meet each other, they were destined to meet each other, there was no reason to wait, it was even better.

Life from now on will be full of good memories made together as 'friends'.

END.
