Chapter 80 Worship
Although there is still some time before Qingming Festival, today is Ning Xin, the day of the last little nun that Li Xiu loved deeply. Ning Xin is her name and her Buddhist name. It is said that when she was still a baby, she was thrown to the door of the temple. She was picked up by her master and raised her. She rarely contacted outsiders and had a naive personality. She fell in love with the original Li Xiu at first sight. Unfortunately, the love between the two ended in a tragedy.
Li Xiu had very little memory of Ning Xin in his mind. He only knew some of her general situations, and he didn't even remember her appearance. As for how she and Li Xiu met, the process of falling in love was also blank in Li Xiu's mind. It seemed that when the previous Li Xiu left, he took away all the most important memory for him.
When Li Xiu traveled through time, the first thing he saw was Ning Xin's tombstone. He was very sympathetic to the tragedy of their love. In addition, he occupied Li Xiu's body. In order to express his gratitude, he once said in front of Ning Xin's tomb that he would come to worship during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, not only worshipping Ning Xin, but also worshipping her and the previous Li Xiu, which is also a thing he did for their lovers.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Li Xiu originally planned to come to worship Ning Xin and his previous Li Xiu before the New Year, but before the New Year was over, Ma was caught in Qingzhou City to treat Princess Pingyang. He didn't even know which day he would spend the New Year.
Later, he finally came back before the Spring Festival. Li Xiu planned to make up for the worship on the Spring Festival. Although the Spring Festival was not the Qingming Festival, it was Valentine's Day in ancient times. It was reasonable to come to worship Ning Xin and Li Xiu, the lovers. However, Li Yuan held a small lantern festival in the Princess's Villa that day, which was delayed again.
Today is Ning Xin's Day. Although Li Xiu knew about it, he was not impressed by it. He thought he would forget it, but on this morning, the meaning of this day automatically popped up in his mind. It is estimated that this day has been deeply imprinted in Li Xiu's mind. Even if this body has changed into someone, he still instinctively remembered this day.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu asked Yuechan to prepare the offering in the morning and took time out in the afternoon to worship. However, he never dreamed that he had just arrived here not long after he had seen Princess Pingyang and several maids also come here?
Princess Pingyang's face was also a little embarrassed. After seeing Li Xiu for a while, she said the truth: "I was a little bored at home, so I went out to have a spring trip. I happened to see Captain Li appear by the bamboo forest. I thought you were also going out to have a spring trip, so I followed him, but I didn't expect to disturb Captain Li!"
When Princess Pingyang spoke at the end, she bowed with guilt. After all, the solemn thing about the sacrifice was disturbed by herself, which made her feel indescribable guilt. Even if Li Xiu scolded her at this time, she would not be surprised.
However, to Princess Pingyang's surprise, Li Xiu not only did not scold her, but instead smiled calmly and said, "So that's it. Meeting is fate. If the princess doesn't dislike it, how about worshiping me?"
Li Xiu really didn't mind at all. After all, he was not the original Li Xiu. For him, Ning Xin in the tomb was just a woman who was very destined to be with him. As for the relationship, he really couldn't talk about it. Moreover, he happened to have something to find Princess Pingyang. Since he met him here, he would finish the worship later and do that by the way.
"I... can I stay too?" Princess Pingyang was also stunned for a moment about Li Xiu's invitation. In her opinion, the woman in the tomb was Li Xiu's favorite person. He must have had a lot of words to say during the worship. Will it be a bit of a problem for her stay here? But from the heart, she actually wanted to stay because she was very curious about Li Xiu's previous relationship.
"Of course, after worshiping them, I still have something to give to the princess!" Li Xiu said casually with a smile, but then he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face changed. It was too late to take it back.
"They?" Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then turned her head to look at Ning Xin's tomb, and asked with a very surprised face, "Is there more than one person buried in the tomb?"
"This..." Li Xiu was also in a flash of lightning at this time, and soon came up with a reasonable explanation. For example, he could say that Ning Xin was pregnant when he died, but when he spoke, he suddenly gave up the idea. He sighed and said in a heavy tone: "There is indeed more than one person buried in this tomb. In addition to Ning Xin, there is another person buried. The princess can guess who this person is?"
"I'm really buried someone!" After Li Xiu's affirmative answer, Princess Pingyang also showed a shocked expression. Then she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Li Xiu with even more shock, and then said sadly, "Can you say that Ning Xin had already... already..."
Princess Pingyang was a young woman after all, and she was really embarrassed to say the word "pregnancy". However, Li Xiu smiled and shook his head and said, "Princess, don't think wrongly. The person I was talking about is not someone else, but the person standing in front of you!"
When Li Xiu spoke at the end, he smiled and pointed at himself. As soon as he finished speaking, a petite maid behind Princess Pingyang screamed in horror: "There is a ghost..."
The petite maid just shouted two words and was covered by the maid named Helmet next to her. However, even so, the petite maid still struggled and her eyes looked at Li Xiu were full of horror. She probably was really scared by Li Xiu's words.
Seeing the performance of the maid's armor, Princess Pingyang waved helplessly and asked the helmet to take her down. It's not a big deal to say that the armor cannot be blamed. This little girl is most afraid of ghosts. She can never sleep on her own after listening to a ghost story. What's more, Li Xiu's words just now are indeed ambiguous, but she absolutely does not believe that Li Xiu is a ghost, and where does the ghost come from in broad daylight?
"Why did Captain Li say this? Aren't you here alive? Why do you say you are buried in this tomb?" After the three men on the helmet left with their armor, Princess Pingyang had the opportunity to ask.
Li Xiu did not immediately answer Princess Pingyang's words, but turned around and squatted down, took out all the things he brought to the ground. These were the sacrifices he prepared. Moreover, because he wanted to worship Ning Xin and Li Xiu, the sacrifices he prepared were all double.
Seeing Li Xiu take out his double offering, Princess Pingyang Li Xiu had no doubt about what he said just now, and at the same time, she couldn't understand why he said that he was buried in the tomb.
After Li Xiu placed the offerings, he ignited the paper money he brought. Looking at the paper money that was getting stronger and stronger, Li Xiu said calmly: "There are indeed two people buried in the tomb, one is Ning Xin, and the other is Li Xiu from the past. After Ning Xin died, Li Xiu was also ashamed and lived like a walking corpse, and even had the idea of suicide several times."
Although Li Xiu's tone of speech was very plain, Princess Pingyang could understand Li Xiu's pain at the beginning. When Chai Shao betrayed her, she had similar pain, so she couldn't help but comfort her: "Prince Li, people cannot be resurrected when they die. We living cannot always be immersed in the previous pain, but should stand up bravely and go out. After all, there are still many people in this world who care about you, such as Qi Niang, who also needs your brother!"
Hearing Princess Pingyang's anxious words, Li Xiu stood up and turned around, looked at her with a relaxed expression and said, "Princess, don't worry about me. Li Xiu was living like a walking corpse, but on a cold morning in late autumn last year, I woke up in front of Ning Xin's curtain, and suddenly something very strange happened!"
When Li Xiu said this, a relaxed look appeared on his face. He did not intend to tell anyone the secret of traveling through time, but he did not intend to lie because he had a kind of confiding. After all, a secret has been kept in his heart for too long, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.
"What's the matter?" Princess Pingyang asked with concern at this time. She also wanted to know what happened that Li Xiu had such a big change.
"I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I felt like I had changed my body. I also figured out many things that I couldn't understand before. I could let go of things that I couldn't let go of in any case. When I opened my eyes, I saw a different world. From that moment on, I decided to start my life again. As for the original Li Xiu, let him be with Ning Xin forever!"
Every word Li Xiu said was true. For example, he still doesn't know why he traveled through time. It's just that he hid the most critical point of traveling through time in his words, which also made his words very ambiguity. Or Li Xiu was deliberately leading in another direction to mislead Princess Pingyang.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang quickly raised her head and said, "I understand. At that time, Captain Li should have entered a state of enlightenment like those sages or monks, which made Captain Li feel a transformation, and even a personal feeling. This kind of encounter is not something that everyone can encounter. If it is spread, I wonder how many people will envy?"
"The princess is so serious. She suddenly realizes that she has become a saint and Buddha, but after I realizes that she has become a common man. All she cares about is food and vegetables. If it is spread, it will only make people laugh!" Li Xiu laughed when he heard this. After saying some of the words he held in his heart, he felt much more comfortable.
While speaking, the paper money on the ground was finally burned out. At that moment, Li Xiu bowed three times to Ning Xin's tomb. Although Princess Pingyang was inconvenient, she stood up in a wheelchair and stood up on the ground with one foot. She bowed to Li Xiu. The worship process was very simple, after all, as long as she got her mind.
Then the two left together. Until then, Princess Pingyang remembered another thing and asked with a smile: "Personnel Li, you said you had something to give to me just now, but I don't know what it was?"
