But because the clay pot containing wine is rare in the world.
People who have seen those clay pots say that no matter what they are painted on, they are alive. Fish can swim into your heart, birds can call your name, and even flowers can Caocao can chat and laugh with you.
But it has been many years and I have never seen such good pottery again. What a pity, the boatman sighed.
You are talking about Li Jiatao, Zixiu asked.
Young master is very knowledgeable. He is Li Jiatao from Mengcheng.
How is the Li family doing now?
The kiln is still there, but... the young master doesn’t want to go.
Go. The sky is blue and it is about to rain. The Li family is about to open a kiln, and there will be good wine.
Zixiu said goodbye to the boatman, landed in the city, and headed towards the Li family.
My disciple said, Master, you insist on seeing me, looking for a bowl of wine? The head of the Li family is white-haired and energetic. He doesn’t know how old he is.
Yes, Zixiu bowed his head.
What kind of wine, sir? Please tell me.
The wine of that year. After Zixiu finished speaking, he took out a delicate package from his arms, put the pottery bowl inside and offered it with both hands.
The patriarch took a quick look and said, this was burned that year. Yes, Zixiu replied. But it should have a painting, the patriarch was puzzled. Yes, it was painted by your daughter Yunniang. The clan leader was startled when he heard this. Do you know Yun Niang? Where is she? Zixiu didn't know where to start and bowed deeply.
After half a meal, the clan leader slowly sat down. Where did the painting on the bowl go?
It’s me, Zixiu said lightly. The patriarch looked at Zixiu and shook his head slowly. Yun Niang never drew people...
Beauty is the second most enviable thing. What is most enviable is a pair of skillful hands, knitting women's red, calligraphy, painting and music. He is self-taught without a teacher. Although he is still in the boudoir, he has already become famous outside.
But she is obsessed with painting. Sometimes she doesn’t know what she is painting, but it is smart and beautiful, as if it is what you are thinking of. But she never drew people, and Yun Niang didn’t know why.
Mengcheng is a small city. There is only one pottery kiln of the Li family, which produces all the pots and jars in the city. The whole family is very busy every day, but because women cannot go to the kiln, Yun Niang has to Be at ease. But only her father knew that she went to the embryo room to paint Tao embryo every night, but because of the beauty of the paintings, her father never stopped her, and this became the famous "Li Jiatao".
One night late at night, Yun Niang was still sleepy, so she concentrated for a long time and drew a phoenix. There are only a few strokes, but they are vivid and vivid.
Yun Niang put down the pottery embryo and stretched, but she caught a glimpse of the phoenix smiling. But when she looked closely, she saw that the phoenix was still a phoenix. She couldn't help but laugh, Yun Niang, Yun Niang, others praise you for your painting. Okay, you took it seriously, you are really not shy. But when she looked again, the phoenix on the pottery embryo had disappeared. Yun Niang was still surprised and wondered if it was just a dream? A man's voice sounded from behind, "Who are you and why are you calling me?"
When Yun Niang turned around, she saw a young man standing proudly in white clothes.
You are more beautiful than my three brothers. Who are you? Yun Niang asked.
You don’t know who I am? The boy asked back.
Should I know? Yun Niang tilted her head and raised her head, unwilling to be outdone.
It was such a pity that such magical power fell into the hands of a silly girl. The young man was so surprised that he couldn't help laughing. When the young man smiled, Yun Niang realized that her smile was as touching as that of Phoenix just now.
You are not really the phoenix I painted, are you? People say that everything I draw is alive. This is really the first time I have seen a living thing. Can all the flowers and plants I painted before come down? I secretly took a look at the open kiln. They are all fine up there, right? Is it possible that Chengdu was burned to death? Are you also afraid of burning? Yun Niang kept asking random questions, but she still couldn't solve her doubts.
I'm not afraid.
The young man had never heard such words spoken before. For the first time, he knew that the voice of a mortal was so beautiful, even better than the voice of the crane chanting sutras. Think about it, Feng Ming was named the most blessed person in the Nine Heavens and Earth. Unconsciously, I felt ashamed. Those old gods must have never heard this girl speak. They blocked her account randomly and were not afraid of being blamed by the Emperor of Heaven.
What are you not afraid of? When Yun Niang saw that the young man's smile was clean and sparkling, she instantly lost her competitive spirit and sat down to play with the pottery embryos.
I was not afraid of anything, and the boy also sat down.
Yun Niang raised her head and looked into the young man's eyes. She didn't see any arrogance. She just felt that those eyes were as calm as the night sky, as if there was nothing in them, and they seemed to hold the whole world, and they were truly fearless.
What are you looking at? The young man felt as if something flashed through his mind, but he didn't pay attention.
Let me see if you are lying. Let’s see if your nose has grown longer! Yun Niang made a face and laughed as she spoke.
The young man also laughed and said, I won’t lie.
So who are you?
I am a Phoenix.
What are you here for?
What did you ask me to do?
Will you do whatever I ask you to do?
Give it a try.
Let me see if it turns into a phoenix.
The boy looked around, your room is too small. Then let's go to the roof. Neither does the roof. Where to go?
To heaven.
The young man pulled Yun Niang up and turned around. The two of them were already in mid-air. The young man raised his head and rose into the wind. His body was covered with golden feathers. The phoenix appeared in the world, with splendor and splendor that eclipsed the sky and the earth.
Yun Niang has never seen such a scene before. When she touches it with her hands, the phoenix feathers seem to be there but not at all. When looking at them with her eyes, they seem like thousands of colors that are indescribable and layer upon layer. Stacked, infinitely long, the stars, sun and moon all hide their brilliance and can't be avoided. Yun Niang couldn't help but cheered and fell into the phoenix feathers. I have never been so happy, Yun Niang said. Me too, the phoenix sings.
The two of them were playing around in the sky and the earth, and before they knew it, the sky was turning white. It’s time for me to go back, Yun Niang said.
The phoenix roared in reply, taking off its golden feathers, and the two of them were already in the embryonic chamber.
When the golden feather faded away, it was like a stream of light, wandering around the young man. Yun Niang was fascinated by it.
When the light dissipated, she found herself in the boy's arms. The two hugged each other close to each other, looking at each other so intimately that Yun Niang's face turned red without realizing it.
But the young man didn't know it. He saw Yun Niang's face was like clouds, and couldn't help blurting out, Yun Niang, you are so beautiful.
As soon as these words came out, the young man felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn't help but let go and caress his heart. He didn't know why.
Yun Niang took the opportunity to get away and stood still. She turned her back, lowered her head and bit her lip, twirling her hair with her fingers. She couldn't calm down for a long time.
The sky was bright and many people said that they heard the cry of the wind phoenix in their dreams. When Yun Niang woke up, she found that she was still in the embryonic room. She vaguely heard the footsteps of her tribe members approaching. She hurriedly got up and left. When she returned to the room, she felt that the events in her dream were still vivid in her mind, so she drew another phoenix as the young man said. The last stroke fell, the black ink was gone, and the rice paper was as new as new.
What happened this time?
When Yun Niang heard the sound, she put down the rice paper, and the young man suddenly stood beside her, with a smile overflowing from the corners of her eyes, as if she was waiting for a flower to bloom.
Yun Niang realized that she was blushing again, she couldn't help being shocked, and shouted to leave quickly, which puzzled the young man.
My mother is coming in soon, please leave quickly.
Others cannot see me.
What?
Only you can see me.
Yun Niang was stunned for a moment.
Yun'er, who are you talking to? Yun Niang was shocked when she heard her mother calling, "You should go first. I want to accompany my mother today and cannot talk to you. I will call you later."
From then on, Yun Niang painted the phoenix every night.
The young man said that he had lived for countless tens of thousands of years and had never sensed the existence of time. But now he knows that there are such torturous things in the world. One day of waiting is more painful than thousands of practices. .
Later, when there was nothing to do during the day, Yun Niang quietly called the boy and took him to the street to see flowers, paintings, and taste all the food and wine in the world. The young man took Yun Niang to heaven and earth, looked at the cranes, looked at Chang'e, and walked through the stars and the sun and the moon. He was so happy.
Yun Niang had already painted the young man thousands of times and engraved it on her heart, never to be separated from him for a moment. But the young man always felt that something was missing in his heart, and he was often afraid. If Yun Niang hadn't called him every day, he would have forgotten this situation at any time.
One day without incident, the boy asked Yun Niang to make him a pottery bowl so that he could take it with him and look at it at any time when he didn't see Yun Niang, so that he wouldn't forget it.
So Yun Niang began to secretly learn pottery making, making mud, beating it, and shaping the embryos. She concentrated on every step and did not dare to make any mistakes. Even though she was talented and dexterous, she never slacked off.
The young man lamented that he used to think that the power of immortals was magical, that he could turn stones into gold, and that he could do whatever he wanted, but now he found that the power of mortals was the most wonderful. For example, this clay pot was originally just clay. But this thing can neither be used to extend life span nor enhance immortal power, and it is not based on the rules of heaven. It is just for one's own heart, so I would rather consume my limited life. Although I don’t understand it, I still think it’s beautiful.
After successfully mixing a pottery bowl into the kiln for the first time, Yun Niang finally understood what the young man said, that time wears on people.
A few days later, when the pottery bowl came out of the kiln, Yun Niang sighed at a small crack, but the young man was already full of joy. The butterfly you drew? That's right, Yun Niang said, don't you say that you like butterflies the most, you always leave your soul in the world, bloom into a flower, never leave, never reincarnate, only live once, the most worth cherishing.
But not long after, the boy began to regret that he should not let Yun Niang make pottery, which made Yun Niang not laugh for a long time, and sometimes she even forgot to call herself.
The young man turned the nine pottery bowls abandoned by Yun Niang into button-sized ones, threaded them into chains, and carefully put them on. From then on, he seemed to have seen another world, where the stars, the sun and the moon were all Changed appearance, added luster.
When the tenth kiln was opened, Yun Niang finally smiled.
The young man held the pottery bowl in his hand, as if he was holding Yun Niang's hand. The butterfly was lifelike and dancing, and it was clearly Yun Niang's eyes.
Just call him Butterfly Bowl.
This is a wine bowl, for drinking. Yun Niang said as she filled a cup and handed it to the boy to drink. In the past few months, the boy had been enjoying the world with Yun Niang and had tasted all kinds of drinks, so Drink it all in one gulp and feel full of pleasure!
As the strong alcohol entered his intestines, the young man felt as if something had collapsed, and blood flowed out of his mouth.
The phoenix weeps blood, and the color of heaven and earth changes.
Are you drunk? Yun Niang panicked.
What did you put in this drink?
Nothing?
Then why is Buzhou Mountain broken? I have to go back. The young man endured the severe pain and flew to Buzhou Mountain.
The young man once said that Buzhou Mountain is the entrance from the human world to the fairy world, and he is on duty. The mountain is connected to his heart, and Phoenix can sense any changes. But he just said, it is broken. What does it mean?
Buzhou Mountain was broken, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, and the heaven was shocked. The Emperor of Heaven came to Buzhou Mountain Pass in person and asked the Phoenix why. The Phoenix managed to hold on and blamed the Emperor for some unknown reason.
The Emperor of Heaven helped Phoenix up, but was shocked when he saw his bracelet. He asked angrily where the bracelet came from, but Phoenix remained silent.
The Emperor picked up the bracelet and recited the extradition spell silently. The young man was surprised, what are you going to do? Yun Niang is just a mortal and has no sin. Angry eyebrows raised involuntarily, Buzhou Mountain collapsed completely, water poured in from the sky, and wailings broke out everywhere.
The Emperor of Heaven said angrily that this chain is a nine-turn exquisite key that can open the love lock of the world.
Millions of years ago, workers broke Mount Buzhou. It happened to be that Nuwa, the Empress, was practicing cultivation in the world. No one could mend the sky. As the sacred bird that created the world, the phoenix's heart was coexisting with the heaven and earth. Therefore, I voluntarily used all the emotions of the world as fire, melted my heart as stone, rebuilt Buzhou Mountain to fill up the sky, almost exhausted my cultivation, forgot the past, and stayed in Buzhou Mountain forever in the name of guard general.
Now being disturbed by the nine-turn exquisiteness, and being irrigated by the bowl of sentimental sea, the heart of the holy bird suddenly lost its ambition to mend the sky, so the mountain was broken and the sky collapsed. Do you know your sin? The Emperor looked at Yun Niang.
Since it was done once, what’s the harm in having it done again? The young man said this, but he couldn't concentrate. Knowing that Buzhou Mountain was his heart, he couldn't use his strength. So, have I always been a zombie?
Yun Niang quickly helped the boy. I hurt you, right? Yun Niang felt sad and wanted to cry.
No, it has nothing to do with you. You should leave quickly. Heaven is ruthless and you cannot stay for a long time. The young man wanted to cast a spell to send Yun Niang away, but he held Yun Niang tightly with both hands.
It turns out that Buzhou Mountain collapsed, and the heart of the sacred bird was broken but freed. It was guided by thousands of emotions and completely stopped on Yun Niang, unwilling to leave for a moment. The young man's body and mind were so integrated that he was unable to move.
Originally, I only knew that I was happy to be with Yun Niang, but I didn’t know where this happiness came from. But at this moment, thousands of emotions over the past few months were flooding into my heart, like a tsunami and a landslide, and the young man could hardly hold on.
When the Emperor of Heaven saw that the disaster was over, the heart of the sacred bird was broken, and only one person could save him, he asked Xiang Yunniang, where did you get these two sacred objects?
I made it myself, Yun Niang replied.
The Emperor of Heaven suddenly realized that if the world is facing such a calamity, it should also be saved. Huo Ran bowed to Yun Niang and said, "Nu Wa, if you don't take action, it will be too late."
Empress Nuwa? The boy lost his voice. He knew that Yun Niang must have spiritual consciousness if she could summon him, but he didn't know that she was actually the reincarnation of Nu Wa.
Empress Nuwa used all her creativity to make these two holy objects. Was it originally to save the heart of the holy bird? You think it is your bounden duty to mend the sky, and you cannot bear the pain of separation of body and mind for you, so you cast a spell to save him. Now that the holy bird is free, please ask the empress to mend the sky to save all living beings from suffering! The Emperor of Heaven worships again, and all things are silent.
The young man was shocked. It turned out that Yun Niang summoned him to save him.
It turns out that although Nuwa has been a mortal body for a long time, her ancient spiritual consciousness still remains in her body. She knows that her catastrophe is coming, and her only unfulfilled wish is to endure all the pain and suffering. I don't know it myself, so I intend to save him and don't want to sow this fate.
But at this time, Yun Niang couldn't understand this situation, and she didn't know what the Emperor of Heaven said. But seeing the Emperor of Heaven bowing frequently, he finally couldn't bear it.
How to make up for it? Yun Niang asked. The young man was frightened, but Yun Niang couldn’t do it. You are now a mortal and can no longer interfere with the affairs of the heaven. He clearly wants you to die...
Since he said I can mend the sky, then why not give it a try? , as long as you are here, I am not afraid. Yun Niang looked at the boy, you said that you are not afraid of anything, and so am I.
But now I'm afraid... When the young man saw Yun Niang's face full of energy, he didn't know how to say these words.
Although you have a mortal body, you are good at creating things by painting, so you use Buzhou Mountain as a cloth to paint colorful rocks. The Emperor of Heaven took Yun Niang to the top of Buzhou Mountain, and Yun Niang began to paint. Colorful clouds flew from her fingertips, and fallen stones flew up one after another, vying to be the sky-repairing stone.
When the five colors of the stone were gone, the young man saw that Yun Niang was completely bloodless, but she was looking up to the sky with a stubborn face. The young man knew that the power of creation had been exhausted, and Yun Niang relied solely on ancient divine consciousness to support her. If the mortal body is forcibly patched up with the sky, both the body and the body will be destroyed, and there will be no reincarnation. In a hurry, he stood up angrily, used the spirit of the founding of the world to make the sky roar, swayed the water that poured into the sky, held five-color stones in his arms, and soared into the sky.
Yun Niang, your paintings are so beautiful. Let me make this pottery bowl.
I finally understand that wishing for you just for myself is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Before the word "Don't" could be uttered, Yun Niang suddenly landed.
The last thing she saw was the scene of the creation of the world, a phoenix flying into the sky.
I have never seen you appear in the daytime, and I never knew you were so beautiful.
When the phoenix dies, the heaven and earth return to order, and all things mourn.
In the past, the Emperor of Heaven said, this time both body and soul have returned to heaven, and it will be difficult to be reborn. Look at this flower, it's his spirit that is scattered, but it looks like a butterfly for some reason.
Just to let me die, why bother to use the power of heaven and earth? If I die in the disaster, he may live?
The Emperor of Heaven knew that Nuwa's consciousness had awakened, so he sighed and said, Heaven's way is permanent, and the empress must not do anything against heaven again.
The way of heaven? Was it your arrangement that the *** workers broke off Buzhou Mountain? At that time, I felt soft-hearted, thinking that it was not easy for you to cultivate like this. I didn't care about you, but I didn't know that you had such skill. Now the ending is as per your wish?
The Emperor of Heaven was silent for a long time, and then said, "Since the beginning of heaven and earth, there has never been anyone as wanton and reckless as you. First, you secretly created human beings out of loess, and you don't know how much essence of heaven and earth was used. Then you secretly descended to earth to create the cycle of life and death." , to relieve the sufferings of the world and exhaust divine power. All these things were already capital crimes, but now that they have a mortal body, they can be considered as having their wishes fulfilled. Now that you are alive, please take good care of yourself. After saying that, he left with a sigh.
Yun Niang was already mortal. After this huge change, her body and mind were destroyed, and she had the will to die. She passed away in Buzhou Mountain soon. However, due to her deep obsession, she was protected by two sacred objects. , I don’t know how many years have passed, but the spirit is still there, and the sea of ??flowers and mountains in Buzhou has become more prosperous, causing the world to worry and send envoys to extradite him.
The Emperor of Heaven asked you to come and educate me?
The little envoy didn’t dare. The empress is an ancient god. She can’t let go of her obsession, and neither heaven nor earth can bear it, so she sent me here to tell her about the Phoenix.
Tell me.
The messenger said that heaven and earth are originally one body, named Chaos, and the Phoenix is ??the heart of Chaos, where all the emotions of Heaven and Earth are. In a million years of life, the love of heaven and earth gives birth to all things; in a million years of death, the love of heaven and earth increases life span. And when Phoenix is ??reborn, he has to endure the pain of creation every time. He has been reborn millions of times, just waiting for this love disaster with you. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he will no longer be reborn, and he will no longer suffer. From now on, the world will be ruthless, why should you suffer? Obsession?
How can one love affair with me soothe his thousands of pains? There is love in this world, so I can't wait for him to wait for me in vain.
The envoy also said that the phoenix is ??an auspicious bird handed down from generation to generation. It only screams and sheds tears when it is bathed in fire. The tears gather into a sea, which is called Beiming. At the junction of it and the East China Sea, there is an eye of the sea, which is called Phoenix. Eyes, if they can gather their souls here and irrigate them day and night, for a long time, they may be able to cultivate a physical form.
So Yun Niang was enlightened by the envoy of the Sutra and transformed into a golden-winged bird. She carried a flower from Mount Buzhou in her hand and flew over the East China Sea. She put it into the Eye of the Phoenix and was irrigated by the water from the Northern Ming.
After an unknown number of years, Garuda finally collected the Phoenix spirit and placed the Nine-turn Exquisite Key in it, hoping that the power of creation could reappear.
Then, the golden-winged bird died of exhaustion and fell into the East Sea, missing where it could be found.
The actions of the Garuda moved heaven and earth, spread throughout the world, and were revered as the Jingwei divine bird by future generations.
I don’t know how many years have passed, when the Nine Turns Linglong was completely dissolved by the sea water of Beiming, the spirit turned into a fish, and Beiming began to have a spirit.
In Buzhou Mountain, a butterfly bowl watches the golden-winged bird return every day. Because the butterfly in this bowl was Yun Niang's last painting, it possessed the power of creation. After longing for it, the butterfly actually broke away from the mud body, became a sole child, and transformed into a human being.
The man put the pottery bowl in his arms and went straight to Beiming day and night.
At the eye of the sea, I saw a fish swimming calmly, which was very peaceful.
Knowing that Yun Niang’s wish came true, she bowed facing the East China Sea, dressed in green clothes, and came into the world.
The young man bowed his head, knelt down and bowed for a long time, saying, Zixiu came to say goodbye on behalf of Yun Niang.
Okay, okay, okay, I’ll take it, let’s go. The clan leader cried silently.
Senior is wise, Yun Niang has no worries now, she can be reincarnated.
Then does it still remember Yun Niang?
I don’t remember, Zixiu said, there is only one phoenix between heaven and earth, and it has returned to heaven and earth when the sky is mended. As for the fish in the North Ming Dynasty, its name is Kun. The Kun was so big that it was unknown how many thousands of miles it was. It turned into a bird, and its name was Peng. The Peng's back is thousands of miles away, and it flies away in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging down from the sky.
Thank you, Master, for traveling thousands of miles to tell me that I can rest in peace for this old age. This wine is the pot that Yun Niang left in the embryo room. Young master, please take it with you to keep out the cold weather. The clan leader handed over the wine bottle, but he didn’t know the son’s title?
The younger generation is a secular person and has no honorific title.
Thank you, senior, for the gift of wine.
