The background story of butterfly wings
The story happened on the eve of the Flat Peach Conference, and the actual foreshadowing was buried five thousand years ago. Skillful craftsmen in the Heavenly Palace rushed to make colorful dresses day and night for the flat peach festival of the Queen Mother. Cai E, a dancer in Yaochi, is responsible for taking care of the newly dyed seven-color silks and satins. On the table in the room, there is a bronze mirror of the Queen Mother.
The rarity of this bronze mirror is that it can't see itself, but it can see the person who thinks about it day and night-when the queen mother was young, maybe I used to look at the jade emperor in front of this bronze mirror. I don't know whether this gaze is temporary or eternal, but the two butterfly reliefs on both sides of the bronze mirror have been staring at each other for 5 thousand years.
Sister Butterfly Wing and Sister Qingying were originally two butterflies in Ole Village. Five thousand years ago in Grain Rain, the Queen Mother soothed two sisters and turned their souls into butterfly reliefs on two mirrors. The queen mother expects them to become the guardian flower gods of peach blossoms in the flat peach garden after they become immortals.
In these five thousand years, Butterfly Wing can see her sister's appearance in the mirror every day: frowning, smiling, vacant, meditating, silent … and Qingying has been watching her sister's appearance. Five thousand years of humble abode and watchfulness have witnessed each other's practice and growth. On the eve of the Flat Peach Conference, they will become immortals. The 5000-year-old road will generate in an instant and turn them into beautiful butterflies in the heavenly palace.
Full of longing, but poured out that night. In the middle of the night, Wu accidentally fell asleep on his desk. The candle lit the screen and the flame spread to seven-color silks and satins. When the two sisters woke up from their dreams, the flames were already blazing.
It's too late. They must rescue Zhenyuan from the butterfly relief in advance, otherwise they will only be buried in the sea of fire, and the road of 5,000 years will vanish in an instant. Butterfly wings gather the strength of life and take the lead in getting rid of it. Gorgeous wings suddenly spread, spread, spread and swing in the air. The clear shadow is half a beat slow, the tail might as well peel off from the relief, and the flame has spread quietly. "Sister, give me a hand!" Qingying cried in a panic. Butterfly wings flapping in the air, come forward and hold out your hand. But at this time, the sudden flame burned her hand, and she instinctively shrank back-from here, Qingying let out a scream, and her hand hanging in mid-air suddenly fell, and her wings, which had already feathered by half, were classified as bronze mirrors.
"Sister, do it again!" The butterfly wings cried anxiously. The flame has licked the bottom of the bronze mirror.
Qingying gathered all her strength and tried to go out again. At this time, XuanYunXiao, the heavenly soldier who was guarding the door, heard the cry for help from the dancing angel and rushed into the room. He witnessed the beam on the verge of collapse in the fire. In desperation, he pushed away the dancing moth, and the light beam with the flaming tongue fell on his face, and the hot flame burned his cheek. The axe fell from his hand and hit the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror turned down from the table, and Qingying only felt a stabbing pain in her cheek. She was wrapped in a bronze mirror and fell straight to earth.
"Sister!" Butterfly wing witnessed all this and wept bitterly. But nothing can be undone, and she can only watch the bronze mirror fall rapidly. Qingying helplessly watched herself and the bronze mirror fall rapidly in the wind, and the intellectual man's fit with half a feather was deformed by the wind. Just before the bronze mirror landed, Qingying suddenly woke up. She almost instinctively pulled out with all her strength and almost clumsily degenerated into a butterfly with broken wings. At that moment, she knew that her 5,000-year dream was finally disillusioned.
Qingying lived in the back hill of Ole Village, and practiced for five thousand years in vain, but she returned to the starting point from the starting point and became a butterfly demon again. To make matters worse, Xuan's sharp axe left irreparable scars on her face. She was forced to cover her face with white gauze all day. In this case, anyone will want to cry without tears. Those years when my sister and I squatted on both sides of the mirror, and those memories full of expectation and longing, all turned into real ridicule. When these taunts can't find an object to fight back at all, they turn into inner unwillingness and depression, and all the unwillingness and depression eventually converge into hatred-hatred for Wu. If it weren't for her negligence, how could the seven-color satin burn? I hate Xuan very much. If it weren't for him, how could he become so ugly? I hate my sister. If I hadn't stopped at the critical moment, she would have become an immortal. All this hatred has accumulated in my heart and there is nowhere to send it away. She finally turned into a demon, proudly came to the village and killed countless people.
At the same time, the butterfly wing has gradually become the most valued guardian flower god in the flat peach garden. Her gentleness and modesty, her elegance and courtesy, and her elegance and refinement make her more and more the most striking fairy in heaven.
Butterfly wings, clear shadows, are like the front and back of a sword. Their lives are intertwined and they are moving in the same direction. But the same blood on them is strangely different. One obeys virtue impeccably and becomes an immortal; The other person's life took an ironic turn and took the opposite road.
But in fact, Qingying doesn't know that the elder sister in the sky misses her sister all the time.
The moment I retracted my hand, it was the most bitter scar buried in my heart. For so many years, she has been looking for the whereabouts of her sister. Until one day, she learned from Yuan Shoucheng in Chang 'an that her sister lived behind Ole Village.
Butterfly wing thought that such a reunion would bring tears to her face. Unexpectedly, her sister was sarcastic and sharply reprimanded: "Are you here to pity me?" Are you here to express your cheap sympathy? "Butterfly wings struggled to explain, but Qingying was unmoved. After a while, she leaned slightly and lifted the towel: "Do you know that in those days, because you were afraid of thinking, I was scarred and there was no way to heaven, and I became a demon?" "
The butterfly's wings gasped. The twisted scar on my sister's face is as scary and ferocious as a monitor lizard, which is a surprise and evil from her face.
"I want revenge. The first to bear the brunt is Xuanhe Dancer Ji. " Qingying gnashed her teeth to say this sentence and flew into the depths of the jungle.
Butterfly wing looked at her sister's distant back and was disappointed. It was a while before I came to my senses. "Sister, wait for me!" She chased after her sister.
Tarinanm: The ceremony is not in Chunshan. It should be five-leaf ginseng.
Qingying turned into a butterfly and perched on a wild persimmon tree on the edge of the cliff. Butterfly wing has been silently following her, and she is tired of it. Now she finally has a chance to catch her breath. Then a rustling woke her up. Rest at the edge of the cliff will be disturbed, and Qingying raised her eyes slightly in anger. In front of him was a middle-aged man with a bamboo basket on his back, standing on the trunk carefully picking wild persimmons.
Psycho! Qingying thought she was about to close her eyes and go back to sleep. At this moment, the middle-aged man just turned around, holding a full wild persimmon in his hand, smiling with relief and satisfaction-Qingying suddenly froze.
What is "you can't find a place to get it, and you can get it as easy as blowing off dust"? This is it! For many years, Qingying has been looking for the whereabouts of Xuan and the dancer, but she never thought that Xuan would send him to her door-even if he changed his face, she could recognize him in her dream!
Without thinking, Qingying flapped her wings and gently sprinkled pollen in front of XuanYunXiao. XuanYunXiao felt dizzy and unstable. She gestured in the air for a long time, grabbed the air and fell off the cliff. ...
Butterfly wing came half a step late. When she chased her sister to the bottom of the valley, she found that Xuan, who had been demoted to dust because of her dereliction of duty in guarding colorful silks and satins, had rested quietly at the bottom of the valley, with a basket of spilled cinnabar and several scattered wild persimmons beside her, still clutching a wild persimmon in her hand. His blood splashed on cinnabar and solidified into a crimson black.
Butterfly wing knows that she is late. My sister is missing. At the thought that my sister didn't know how many innocent creatures would be slaughtered, she felt that the flame was burning her heart and she stumbled back to heaven.
One night not long after, Butterfly Wing missed her sister and couldn't sleep at night. Suddenly I heard a noise outside the flat peach garden. She saw a tall and strong figure running into the flat peach garden, stumbling blankly in the fallen peach forest, and finally crashing down in front of her. Butterfly wing bent down and asked him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
The strong man, clutching his stomach, just groaned and couldn't say anything. Butterfly wing stared at his eyes, and there was a rare innocence in the evil and fierce eyes. Somehow, Butterfly Wing suddenly remembered her sister. She sighed lightly: "Your eyes remind me of my misguided sister." The strong man didn't hear what she said. He fainted.
The sky will persevere in chasing the flat peach garden and shout "assassin!" " Catch the assassin! "The assassin? Butterfly wings are in a hurry. But only because of the innocence left in his eyes, she instantly relaxed her inner bottom line.
After the heavenly soldiers poured into the flat peach garden, the butterfly wings spread out in time and lightly, hiding the faint strong man under the wings. In the face of people's questioning, she just smiled and said, "I just saw a black shadow running in the direction of the palace." Why don't the gods in the sky go there to find out? " Her heart was beating in panic, but fortunately the gods dispersed with the sound.
"Why did you save me?" Dan Tai, a strong man, asked Butterfly Wing doubtfully, "I am an assassin. You should kill me."
"yes. I don't want to save you. But the lingering kindness in your eyes touched me and reminded me of my misguided sister. I don't think you are evil in your bones, but you are blinded by the haze for the time being. You can and should be saved. "
"Thank you. However, it is really unnecessary. " Dan Tai heaved a sigh of relief. It's not that he doesn't know what he is doing, and some of them deviate from his original intention, but gratitude and loyalty to the Lord are always the nature of the blue shark. No matter how much he blames himself and reflects on himself, he can't deviate from his nature.
Under the care of Butterfly Wing, a few days later, Dan Tai's injury improved. He said goodbye to the butterfly wing fairy.
"If you go on like this, you will regret it one day." Butterfly wing advised again.
"No."
Butterfly wing sighed: "gratitude is naturally a virtue, but it is unprincipled to repay the innocent, and this kind of gratitude has evolved into a kind of loyalty."
He doesn't want to say anything more. Blue sharks have always been silent, and biting and fighting are their only language. Just as he left the flat peach garden, he couldn't help looking back. In front of him, the peach blossoms are brilliant, and the peach blossoms open into clouds, gently undulating.
And Butterfly Wing has made up her mind to save her sister. When she returned to Ole Village again, Qingying had disappeared. She came to the drugstore in Nanjiang, Datang alone and saw a child grinding medicine standing at the door of the drugstore, trying to reach the kite hanging in the treetops. The innocence of the child reminds Butterfly Wing of the happy and carefree time when she and her sister were together.
Butterfly wing helped the child take down the kite and asked him curiously, "This tree is not high, other children can climb it." How do you only know that standing under it is stupid enough? "
The child giggled and said, "I climbed a tree last year and accidentally fell off it." I got a big scar on my face and never dared to climb trees again. "
Butterfly wing asked strangely, "Then why didn't you leave a scar on your face?"
The child proudly said, "Grandpa cured me! My grandfather Sun Simiao is a famous medical saint in Datang. "
Butterfly wings were overjoyed. She followed the child into the drugstore and asked Sun Simiao for help. Sun Simiao told Butterfly Wing, "If you can cook the Five Elements Yanfu Decoction, you can restore your sister's appearance. It's just that the nourishing soup of these five elements is hard to find, and five formulas are needed, namely, the stem block of Talinum, the bud of calendula, narcissus, the stamen of hibiscus and the fruit of pomegranate. "
Before leaving, Sun Simiao repeatedly asked Butterfly Wing, "Have you really decided to find the medicinal materials of Wuxing Yanfu Decoction? This is something that needs to pay a huge price. If you don't do it, you have to give yourself many years. "
"I don't mind." Butterfly wing decided to sacrifice herself to save her misguided sister.
Butterfly wing heard that there are thousands of ginseng plants in Wuzhuangguan, Wanshou Mountain, west of Tiantang Wuzang. Going to Wuzhuangguan, passing Chang 'an, I saw Sister Furong crying in the street. Sister Furong cried and said that when her husband was selling steamed bread, a masked woman came forward to buy it, and the wind blew her veil. Her husband was shocked by the scar on her face. What the masked woman did to her husband for no reason.
Butterfly wing understands that her sister has killed another innocent person. She hurriedly asked Sister Furong about the whereabouts of the masked woman.
Sister Furong gnashed her teeth and cried, "That vicious woman has gone to Yangguan."
Butterfly wings quickly catch up. Finally caught up with Qingying.
Butterfly wing begged her sister not to hurt anyone again.
Qingying didn't listen and retorted, "If it weren't for sisterhood, I wouldn't be polite to you. It's just that I doubt how long you can last as my enemy. Stop chasing me. Next time I see you, I will never show mercy. " As soon as I spoke, I flew into the thick ink-like night.
Cold. She only felt that her whole body rolled over cool thin on the first snow in the cold winter. Her teeth are stiff and she is suffering from unknown dismemberment.
Butterfly wing went to Wuzhuangguan and found the main town of Yuan Zhuang. Zhenyuan Daxian has long heard of the flower protector of Flat Peach Garden. After listening to her story, she said awkwardly, "There are indeed some ginseng dolls hidden on Wanshou Mountain, which are elves derived from the aura of thousands of years of ginseng, but it takes a thousand years to catch them."
Butterfly wing went straight to Wanshou Mountain without thinking. If sacrificing her thousand-year-old deeds can change her sister's appearance, she will naturally do it without hesitation.
Calendula: chrysanthemum golden eagle heartbroken, butterfly bee nose fragrant.
After getting the thousand-year-old ginseng, Butterfly Wing flew to Guanghan Palace to ask Chang 'e for the seeds of marigold.
After listening to the story, Chang 'e reminded: "Sister Butterfly Wing, this marigold only blooms once a thousand years. You must sacrifice your Millennium road to push it away, and you must also sacrifice the gorgeous colors on your wings to dye it. "
Butterfly wing did not hesitate. She shed all her splendor and became a simple white butterfly. And their own color is transformed into the color of flowers, and the marigold blooms bright flowers.
Chang 'e was very surprised: "Sister Butterfly Wing, why did you do this?"
Butterfly wing replied with a smile: "I am willing to make all sacrifices as long as I can restore my sister's appearance and return to the track of ordinary people."
"alas." Chang 'e said: "I believe that people's hearts are all flesh. I have already explained your sister's night trip in the south of Datang. " It's night on earth. I will collect Guanghan Palace for you. Go to see her in the pear blossom room in the south of Datang.
Butterfly wing found her sister among the pear flowers in the south of Datang: "Sister, I don't have any colorful flowers now."
"Ha ha, you mean to humiliate me? Even without Cai Hua, others will still admire your elegance, whiteness and nobility, just like the pear flowers here and the moonlight tonight-but will anyone praise me like this?
"Sister, you misunderstood me."
"I reminded you last time that if you still pester me, I will never be polite again!" Qingying waved her wings forward, and Butterfly Wing was forced to respond. The two sides fought. Butterfly wings are everywhere, but Qingying is deadly. Butterfly wings are naturally no match, and the five-element wand was shot down to the ground.
"Strange. Why are your skills so poor? It seems that you only care about pampering in heaven, and even the basic cultivation is gone. "
Butterfly wings have no excuse. She didn't tell her sister that she had donated money for her for two thousand years.
Qingying let go of the hand holding Butterfly Wing's neck: "I have business to do, so I'm too lazy to talk to you." She turned and flew into the depths of the flower. It was dark at night, and Butterfly Wing couldn't see her sister's back clearly.
Narcissus: Narcissus wanted to go to carp, and Furong cried all night.
Butterfly wing came to Chang 'an and continued to look for narcissus buds and hibiscus stamens.
She went into Chang 'an flower shop and asked if there were any daffodils and hibiscus for sale. But the florist's face suddenly changed.
It turns out that Wu Cairen is a favored one. On her birthday, she let all the flowers bloom together, even if it is against the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms. Narcissus and Furong are honest by nature, not afraid of violence and arrogance, and they flatly disobey Wu Cairen's orders. When Wu Cairen heard the news, he became angry from embarrassment, imprisoned narcissus and hibiscus, and destroyed all the narcissus and hibiscus in Datang.
The florist secretly told Butterfly Wing that Shangguan Yi was dissatisfied with Wu Cairen's bossiness and didn't want to watch the daffodils disappear, so he kept some daffodil tubers in his yard. Hibiscus seeds were secretly hidden by the kind Sister Hibiscus.
Butterfly wing found Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi told Butterfly Wing that she did hide some tubers of daffodils, but because the soul of daffodils was put on the reed flowers in Wuzhishan, only by defeating her and releasing the soul of daffodils could daffodils bear buds, while the soul of Furong was imprisoned on Chang 'e's mother.
Butterfly wings ran to Wuzhishan, defeated Lu Hua, and Narcissus was free. She returned to Shangguan Yi, once again offering a thousand-year journey. Narcissus has finally sprouted.
Muhibiscus: Hibiscus is about to bloom in the stream, and at the beginning of the willow, I am fascinated by the ferry smoke.
Butterfly wing went to Chang 'an to find Sister Furong. Sister Furong heard the story of Butterfly Wing and was moved by her deep affection for her sister, so she decided to help them. She generously gave Butterfly Wing her own Hibiscus seeds.
Butterfly wings beat Wu Cairen's man, Sister Rong. The soul of the lotus god was released. Butterfly wings once again offered their own Millennium way, and the withered hibiscus in the whole city bloomed instantly. Butterfly wings got the stamens of hibiscus as they wished.
On the way to find the fruit of my sister and fire pomegranate, Butterfly Wing met a strange-looking wandering painter.
The artist told her that Chang 'an Changxinfang had a strange bronze mirror. The rarity of this bronze mirror is that it can't see itself, but it can see people who think about it day and night.
Butterfly wing immediately understood that this is the bronze mirror that was accidentally shot down by Xuan many years ago. She thinks she can see her sister again.
The painter asked her, "Is it worthwhile to sacrifice many years to find five elements of Yanfu decoction for my sister?"
Butterfly wing thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's worth it. In fact, I feel very happy every day after I became an immortal. What I miss most is the hard but happy time I spent with my sister. If possible, I would rather live on a bronze mirror with my sister forever and still be the relief of those two butterflies. "
The painter said, "Everything remains the same and belongs to the heart. As long as you have the heart, the relationship between you and your sister will not die. "
The butterfly wings on the bronze mirror of Chang 'an Changxinfang saw her sister faint in the underworld.
She ran to hell, and the earth treasure king told the story. It turned out that Qingying learned that Tian Ji, a dancer in Yaochi, had died of illness and was depressed. She still wanted revenge, so she went to hell to ask for the soul of Tian Ji. She got into a fight with the earth treasure king, but she was no match. Not only did she not get the dancer's soul, but she was stunned by the mount of the earth treasure king and took away her hearing.
Butterfly wing begged the Tibetan king to let her sister's hearing return to normal. The king of earth treasure said, "Look, you are a fairy, and I'll give you this chance. But you must exchange your hearing for your sister's hearing. "
Butterfly wing donated her hearing.
After Qingying woke up, she didn't know it was her sister who helped her recover her hearing. She shouted at Butterfly Wing, who just looked at her and tried to recognize her lips. Qingying doesn't know that her sister can't hear you.
Butterfly wing kept smiling, and didn't want her sister to find her flaw.
She read her sister's words.
She is saying, please leave me alone. Next time I see you, it's either you or me.
She ran away again.
Butterfly wing began to cry and thought, Sister, why do you always misunderstand me?
At this time, her wings have been white, with only a thousand years left.
Pomegranate: The place where your golden lamp goes out is very quiet. How far can a pomegranate flower whisper? .
Butterfly wing went to Kunlun Mountain in Yaochi to find the patron saint of fire pomegranate, and there was a pomegranate tree beside her.
Butterfly wing asked the protector of fire pomegranate for its fruit. Fire pomegranate protects the body. The two sides fought.
Butterfly wing sacrificed her last thousand years and defeated the pomegranate protector.
Before fleeing, the fire pomegranate guardian set fire to the pomegranate tree.
Without thinking, Butterfly Wing rushed into the flame and picked the pomegranate left on the tree.
Then someone grabbed her sleeve behind her back.
She turned around.
It's sister Qingying.
It turned out that my sister followed her secretly and saw all this. She saw her sister communicate with the guardian of pomegranate in sign language and knew that her sister was deaf. And my sister's sign language made her understand everything.
Qingying told Butterfly Wing with tears: "I already know my sister's friendship for me. I don't want that pomegranate. "
Butterfly wing said in sign language, "OK, I'll go with you."
Qingying turned around with butterfly wings in tears. Butterfly wing suddenly smiled and pulled out her hand, leaving only four small packages in Qingying's hand. Qingying turned warily and saw that the butterfly wings had decisively jumped into the fire.
Qingying didn't catch her sister's sleeve. She watched her sister's white wings burn. Butterfly wing grabbed the pomegranate on the treetop and threw it to her.
In the flame, the wings of butterflies were burned black and blue, but they smiled and looked calm. She motioned to Qingying: "Sister, don't cry. I really, really hope you have a good life. I was told that day that everything remains the same and belongs to the heart. Look at the sun and the moon that day; They were silent. Green mountains and green waters, stretching from generation to generation; Just like in my heart, you never left, never changed. I want to go back to the bronze mirror. You should take good care of yourself. "
Qingying watched her sister burn into a pile of ashes.
The next day, Qingying restored her most beautiful luster with Wuxing Yanfu Decoction. She met a traveling painter who told her the story of the bronze mirror in Chang 'an Changxinfang.
Qingying ran to Chang 'an Changxinfang, the bronze mirror that fell from the sky many years ago. On the side of the bronze mirror, there is a butterfly living quietly. Flapping your wings and wanting to fly is the moment before you become a fairy. That is her sister.
"Elder sister, wait for me. I am coming. "
Bloom flowers came as scheduled. When the river dries up. Singing of time is like a flower and a river. The years are quiet and good, as always. On both sides of the bronze mirror, two butterflies, you look at me and I look at you. It's like going back to the dormant years many years ago.
Time has passed, and it seems that there is no past. At this time, the tea in your hand is strong or weak, warm or cold, and the story about a bronze mirror is over.
