Su Ye¡¯s diary from three years ago is very clear to me. For others, it is an imagination that is deeply emotional, but for Ren Yuan, this clarity seems to have a material basis. For a moment, a warm and familiar atmosphere filled the room, and the person's voice, face, and smile were right in front of his eyes.
The work notes are very simple, just like the Su Ye style that Ren Yuan is familiar with. There is not much content, less than half of the page is text, and most of it is some paintings she drew by herself, usually engineering drawings of excavations and sketches of unearthed objects. Of course, there are also some illustrations of objects and scenes. Although they are sketches, the lines are soft and there is a hint of strength.
After Sun Li left, Ren Yuan started reading page by page:
February 1st. rain.
I was notified at the college office that I could finally participate in this joint scientific examination.
At night, I couldn¡¯t sleep, thinking about the desert, the plateau, and the meteors passing across the sky.
¡¡¡¡
March 3rd. clear.
It was not the first time I came to the plateau, but I was still moved by such a beautiful sky.
??The leeward spot on the hillside of Quelong Mountain is the sacred place of Zhamu Village. There is a Guandi Temple here. Sun Li is a little strange, but I know that this is the product of the exchange and integration of beliefs.
The large section below is where Su Ye carefully drew the sword under the statue of Guandi.
This is a huge broad sword. The pencil drawing makes the sword very thick and the texture is quite clear.
Ren Yuan, who was immersed in Su Ye's words and emotions, suddenly noticed a Tai Chi diagram on the hilt of the sword, which seemed to emit a strange light.
Ren Yuan's eyes sharpened, as if he wanted to penetrate the paper to see what was going on, so every stroke of Su Ye was restored, but a network of lead wires was formed in the air. Ren Yuan couldn't see clearly.
One night, Ren Yuan read the entire work notes. Ren Yuan closed his notebook. At least on the surface, it seemed that Su Ye had experienced a thrilling archaeological journey, many times more thrilling than Jiang Shang's expedition to Shuanglong Cave.
Because it is a work notebook, Su Ye does not reveal too many personal emotions, and mostly makes objective evaluations of the members of the archaeological team and the entire archaeological process. Only in a few words can one feel Su Ye's curiosity about other members of the archaeological team. In other words, it cannot be said to be curiosity, but rather a faint vigilance, which Ren Yuan can feel. These were just scratches, and Ren Yuan became curious about Su Ye's mysterious scientific expedition. Ren Yuan had thought about it before, but was not curious because he firmly believed that Su Ye would return. And on that day, at that moment, the two of them embraced each other, and it would be quite interesting for Su Ye to tell her those thrilling experiences in person.
In the end what happened? Ren Yuan frowned slightly. When Ren Yuan starts to think about and investigate some unknown things, he usually feels inspired and the veil cast by time becomes clear. But this time, his whole body and mind seemed to be in a fog. It is common for ordinary people to feel confused about reminiscing about the past and envisioning the future. At this time, Ren Yuan is also an ordinary person!
Ren Yuan was not surprised. Su Chen and Chen Kexin jokingly called him "immortal". Ren Yuan sometimes agreed, but deep down he had never seen himself like this. Ren Yuan could not escape the emotional whirlpool of Su Chen and Chen Kexin. He even had an unexplainable affection for the beautiful president Fang Ya, let alone facing Su Ye. Ren Yuan estimated that once he saw Su Ye and she appeared in front of him with incomparable realism, his little bit of cultivation would immediately disappear, and his so-called calmness and detachment would become a lie. Ren Yuan had imagined that they would live a happy and beautiful time together after a long separation. Su Ye's gentleness, courtesy and frugality made her not jealous of his relationship with Su Chen and Chen Kexin. As for the future, when the years are passing by and the issues of old age, illness, and death have come to the fore again, Ren Yuan believes that he will regain his Taoist heart, of course with Su Ye. Enjoy the reward, and you will have a longer time to follow the path of cultivating the Tao. According to ordinary people's analysis, Ren Yuan had a wishful thinking. With this wishful thinking, and the ending basically progressing according to this, the so-called calmness is a natural thing. People say that the sword of wisdom can cut off the thread of love, but since Ren never abandoned the body but chose to go with material and spiritual things, this sword of wisdom is no longer necessary.
If those old ghosts in the mountains were to judge, they would definitely think that Ren Yuandao had a weak heart. He had been tortured by life and death for a time and should have devoted himself to asking questions. Although the road was built with thorns and thorns, accompanied by tigers, wolves and demons, there was no way out. If not, He can only reincarnate in countless lives and deaths, which is unspeakable misery. None of those old ghosts are willing to leave the mountains and forests and come to the city, because they are veterans, not rookies. With their skills, it would be easy for them to randomly obtain a new body and rejoin the world of mortals to enjoy all kinds of material things. However, they all know that re-entering the world is nothing more than meeting someone again, loving someone, and then that person.People die, and they have seen all the other joys and sorrows in the world, and they don't want to experience them again. It's like modern people would just stop watching a classic TV series after watching it three or four times. No one would be willing to watch it all day long. Besides, let alone modern metropolises, the air feels turbid as soon as you step out of the mountains and forests. Just imagine, people who bathe in clear mountain springs every day to feel fresh and refreshed suddenly have to bathe in smelly ditches every day. Ordinary people will Not willing. Of course they don't want to. They closed their eyes and took a nap to reach the thirtieth century. At that time, Ren Yuan also returned from his experience. When you go out, your achievements will be high. If you roll around in the world of mortals again, your character will be higher, and your cultivation will naturally be higher. By then, you may be able to break through the situation of "living on in the mountains" and provide a bright road for spiritual cultivation. Therefore, the old ghosts in the mountains waited patiently.
Ren Yuan understands that his Taoist heart is a little unstable, but he is not in a hurry, and still adopts the attitude of letting nature take its course, because in his opinion, bad things are also good things. If he even lets go of his Taoist heart, it will be a state of mind. Ren Yuan's heart jumped faintly. Under such circumstances, Ren Yuan decided to retreat. This was the first time since he returned to the city that he had such a clear feeling. Ren Yuan immediately called Su Chen and Chen Kexin. Ren Yuan didn't say much, but believed that his two confidantes could understand.
A signboard was hung on the red lacquer gate of the Red Mansion Courtyard, telling visitors that the master had repaired it in the Ming Dynasty, and the visitors stopped. Xiaobai lay quietly in a corner of the courtyard, sometimes basking in the sun, sometimes climbing to the living room table to open his laptop and watch various videos to achieve the "realm" of traveling around the world without leaving home. Xiao Huang sometimes jumps out of the big fish tank and watches videos with Xiao Bai. The two little guys who fought almost as soon as they met remained silent. They knew that the boss was in seclusion and disturbing the practitioners. He couldn't bear the consequences. For a moment, the Red Building became silent, and this overflowing silence could even be felt by ordinary people passing by.
