又一次被留下，柳延呆呆看著空曠的庭院，直到沈玨從屋裡走出來，才回過神對他道：“他說等他回來，我們就成親。”
因那人又一次離去，所以他說這話的神情也少了歡喜，而添了幾分恍惚。
沈玨一直在屋內，庭院中發生的一切自然瞞不過他的耳朵，對這樣的結果並不吃驚，在他看來，這樁親事已經晚了二百多年。二百年前，就該操辦了的。只是那時，沒人會相信，他們能成親。他不信，伊墨不信，只怕那時的沈清軒，也是不信的。
沈玨看出柳延的恍惚，笑了一下道：“他說到的，定然做得到，不如我們準備禮堂吧。”說著將柳延扯進了屋。
伊墨一路往西，途中遇到往山中趕來的許明世，許明世問他往何處去，伊墨道：“找你師尊。”
許明世先是一愣，他師父兩百多年前就已經離世，哪裡還有師父？轉念一想就明白，哪裡是找自己師父，伊墨要尋的是祖師——早已成仙的那位。因是他門下弟子，許明世又有慧根，這些年修煉道法，在人間扶危濟困，倒是與祖師有過幾面之緣。只是修道之人，與情字淡漠的很，雖是如此，卻也沒有深交。淡如水罷了。
許明世猶豫了一下，看他神色如常，卻莫名的有一種心驚肉跳，仿佛要出什麼事一般，很快道：“我與你同去。”
伊墨說：“你這皮囊也撐不了幾多時日，還不去靜心修煉，也好羽化成仙，跟我湊什麼熱鬧？”
許明世聞言摸了摸自己的臉，入手便是皺紋溝壑，笑了一聲道：“我怕是成不了仙了，否則也不會如此。”
略頓，許明世又道：“這人間我還留戀的很。凡根未盡，塵緣未了……罷了，我與你同走一遭，權當消遣時光。至多再有兩年，我入土，老蛇兒，你可來送我一送？”
伊墨斜他一眼道：“我送你作甚，你便是死了，下輩子也是個道人。仍是要修道的。”
許明世“嘿嘿”一聲，“我欠你兒子的，這輩子不還給他，哪有心情去轉世再修道。”說著自己笑了，論起曾經的魯莽狂躁，隔了兩百年光陰，悔恨愧疚都成了空，只留下笑聲。笑容說不出的搞怪，像極了年輕時的活潑模樣，只是在他滿臉皺紋上展現的就有幾分滑稽。果真是個老孩兒。
伊墨知道他是趕不走了，也就作罷，不與他糾纏，拔腿便走。
許明世跟在他身後，亦步亦趨，倒像是結伴旅行一般，輕鬆快活的很，不斷絮絮叨叨，囉囉嗦嗦。原以為這一路伊墨不會搭理自己，卻不料走在前方的老妖改了性子，雖照舊少語，卻也不是從前的冷漠。遇到些好玩的話題，也會同他談上兩句。
許明世一開始以為自己耳朵出了問題，又走了幾百里，才想到許是這一世的沈清軒，讓他做了如此改變。
“老妖蛇，”許明世仍順著以前的習慣喊他，道：“你同沈清軒怎樣了？”
伊墨停也不停，淡淡道：“要成親了。”
“咦？”許明世呆了一下，不自覺的頓住腳，等反應過來，發現前面的老蛇已經把自己拋出三百里了，連忙又施法追上，問道：“當真？”
“當真。”伊墨答。
許明世“呼啦”一下子蹦起來，臉上皺紋笑成了一朵深邃的花，連蹦帶跳跑到他跟前道：“喜酒，請我飲你們的喜酒，必須請！”
伊墨的神情似乎放鬆了一下，也停下步伐，微笑道：“好，請你。”
許明世“哈哈”大笑，歡天喜地的跑前面去了。
因有喜事，兩人腳程加快了不少，很快到了目的地，卻是一座山。山川俊麗，直入雲霄，山頂終年積雪覆蓋，山腰往下，卻翠柏流水，鳥語花香。
然而除飛禽走獸，並無人聲。
許明世打量四周，問道：“他住這裡？”
伊墨仍是往前走著，爬過了山腰，往山頂而去，一邊行進一邊道：“他已成仙，我是妖，哪知他住在哪裡。”
許明世跟在他身後，聞言停下來問：“那你怎麼來這裡找他？”
伊墨笑了一下，直到山頂了，才頓住腳，彎腰在一處雪塊裡挖鑿著什麼，良久，方從那冰雪底下挖出一壇酒來，說：“我雖不知他住在何處，卻知他釀的酒在哪裡。”
話音未落，一道白光閃過，光影裡怒氣衝衝的聲音道：“你這小蛇，平白無故偷我酒喝！”聲若炸雷，唬得許明世一個哆嗦，差點崴倒在地。
伊墨這才放下酒罈，施施然起身，道：“我找你有事。”
老仙見他放了自己的酒，哼哼一聲道：“你這小蛇尋上門，定無好事！”
伊墨只笑，卻不言，似是默認。
老仙見他那神情，便覺得有些牙疼，感到了事情的棘手。若是尋常事，以這蛇妖的能力，早就擺平，何須來找自己。況且，一個冷情冷性的蛇妖，竟露出這種笑容……老仙活兩千多年，就未曾見他笑過。當下往後退了一步，道：“我聽說你闖了地府。”
伊墨說：“嗯。”一旁許明世睜大了眼，喊道：“你闖了地府？！”
這一仙一妖，卻都不理會他的叫嚷。老仙沉默片刻，已然知道他找自己，大約為何事，連忙道：“這事我管不著。”
伊墨沒有接話，蹲下身，挖了那壇剛放下的酒來，又連續挖了兩壇，抱在懷中，走向懸崖。將酒罈舉得高高的，伊墨背對著他，淡淡問：“管不管？”
老仙噤聲，望著他的背影，嶙峋如積雪山嶽，終是寒涼，卻又不知為何，泛起了人氣。這一絲不同尋常的人氣，卻是劫數。冷情冷性的小蛇，不肯繼續冷下去了。他並非不捨得這幾壇酒，便是釀了近千年又如何，到底，對著自己一手點化的蛇妖，還是有絲不忍。
許久，老仙問：“究竟要做甚？”
伊墨轉過身，輕描淡寫道：“我要沈清軒三世記憶。”
三世記憶。只有三世記憶恢復，他才能嫁，才能不再遺憾。
他是冷情冷性的蛇，不懂人間情愛，輾轉三世尋尋覓覓，始終癡傻，不曾開竅。
因為不開竅，所以滿心裡，也只有那一個靈魂而已。他自知做過許多過分的事，也能被輕易原諒；傷了他無數回，也能被輕易寬宥。
兩世都留給他孤墳一座，也沒有得到抱怨。
第三世已經癡癡傻傻，卻還是要“在一起”。
所以他明白，自己所尋兩百年，也不過是想告訴那人，沒有求不得，沒有愛別離，沒有遺憾。你不要哭。
兩百年尋覓，也只是為了，在對的時候，彌補一句：我喜歡你。
——我喜歡你。
——我嫁給你。
你沒有求不得，不要傷心。
在經歷這麼多事後，他還想問一問，還願不願意娶？願不願意，說一句：殊途同歸。
老仙愕然，良久方道：“你拿什麼來換？”
伊墨頓了一下，答：
“傾盡所有！”
傾盡所有。
老仙望著他，長歎一聲：“好，你去將他失去的一魂一魄找來，魂魄齊全了，我才能替他恢復三世記憶。”
伊墨問：“哪裡去尋？”
老仙狐疑地望他一眼：“你竟不知？”
伊墨道：“不知，我尋過，都沒有。”
“你這傻子……”老仙忍不住頓足，“上一世他死，你都未有去看過嗎？”
伊墨沉默了一下，答：“他不讓我送。”
上一世他不讓相送。
他從來不聽季玖的話，一直不聽，從來不聽。直到季玖就要死去，他選擇聽他一回，只當完成他這一世的遺願。
他沒有去送別，連他屍體都不曾去看過一眼。
老仙唏噓一聲：“都是癡兒。他不讓你送，是怕你見了難過，到底……”他又怎麼捨得，最後都見不到你？
人間情愛大約就是如此，左右都是掙扎，前後都是無路。
第一世，沈清軒斷然不准他尋來，卻又在手上留了蛇吻印記，仍是希望他來，再續前緣；
又如第二世，季玖不願意他相送，怕他見了難過，卻又癡癡留了一魂一魄，在胸前血珠裡，希望能最後再看他一眼。
沒有對與錯，是與非，不過是理智鬥不過情感，所以才會深陷囹圄，步步都是錯，步步都是癡。
伊墨轉身就要走，去找上一世的那具屍骸，摘下他胸口的血珠，看一看，那縷魂魄。
怪不得找不到。原來自始自終，他都在自己的血裡。
“小蛇。”老仙在他身後喚住，“千年修行毀於一霎，你當真不悔？”
伊墨轉身，看著這賦予自己靈性與長久生命的恩人，沉聲道：
“這世間若無他，只求一死。”
若讓他得到，又失去，他便寧願死去。
不怨不悔。
說著他靜靜笑了，那個笑容如此溫柔，仿佛金色微光的晨曦。
————————————————
Being left behind once again, Liu Yan stared blankly at the empty courtyard until Shen Jue came out of the house. Then he came to his senses and said to him, “He said that we will get married when he comes back."
Because the man left again, his expression when he said this was less joyful and more dazed.
Shen Jue had been in the house the whole time, so he could hear everything that happened in the courtyard. He was not surprised by the result. In his opinion, this marriage was already overdue for more than 200 years. It should have been arranged 200 years ago. But at that time, no one would believe that they could get married. He didn’t believe it, Yi Mo didn’t believe it, and I’m afraid Shen Qingxuan didn’t believe it at that time either.
Shen Jue noticed that Liu Yan was in a trance, smiled and said, “He can certainly do what he said. Why don’t we prepare the auditorium?" Then he pulled Liu Yan into the house.
Yi Mo went all the way west, and on the way he met Xu Mingshi who was heading to the mountain. Xu Mingshi asked him where he was going, and Yi Mo said, “To find your master."
Xu Mingshi was stunned at first. His master had passed away more than 200 years ago. How could he still have a master? He realized after a second thought that Yi Mo was not looking for his own master. What he was looking for was the ancestor, who had already become an immortal. As a disciple of his, Xu Mingshi had wisdom and had practiced Taoism for many years. He helped the poor and needy in the world and had met the ancestor several times. However, as a Taoist, he was indifferent to love. Even so, he did not have a deep friendship. It was just as indifferent as water.
Xu Mingshi hesitated for a moment. Seeing that he looked normal, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear, as if something was going to happen. He quickly said, “I’ll go with you."
Yi Mo said: “Your body won’t last much longer, why don’t you practice meditation and become an immortal? Why are you joining me in the fun?"
Hearing this, Xu Mingshi touched his face, and wrinkles appeared everywhere. He laughed and said , “I’m afraid I can’t become an immortal, otherwise this wouldn’t be the case."
After a pause, Xu Mingshi continued, “I still miss this world. My earthly roots are not yet gone, my earthly ties are not yet over… Well, I will go with you for a while, just to kill time. In two years at most, I will be buried. Old snake, can you come and see me off ?"
Yi Mo glanced at him and said, “Why should I send you off? Even if you die, you will be a Taoist in your next life. You still need to practice Taoism."
Xu Mingshi said, “I owe your son. If I don’t pay him back in this life, how can I have the mood to reincarnate and cultivate Taoism?" He laughed. After two hundred years, his remorse and guilt were gone, leaving only laughter. His smile was indescribably funny, just like his lively appearance when he was young, but it was a bit funny on his wrinkled face. He was really an old boy.
Yi Mo knew that he couldn’t be driven away, so he gave up and left without arguing with him.
Xu Mingshi followed behind him, following closely, as if they were traveling together, relaxed and happy, chattering non-stop . He thought Yi Mo would ignore him along the way, but unexpectedly, the old demon walking in front of him changed his temperament. Although he was still taciturn, he was not as cold as before. When encountering some interesting topics, he would also talk to him for a few words.
Xu Mingshi initially thought there was something wrong with his ears, but after walking several hundred miles, he realized that it might be Shen Qingxuan in this life who had caused such a change.
“Old demon snake," Xu Mingshi still called him as usual, and asked, “What happened between you and Shen Qingxuan?"
Yi Mo didn’t stop talking, and said calmly: “We are getting married."
“Huh?" Xu Mingshi was stunned for a moment, and stopped unconsciously. When he reacted, he found that the old snake in front of him had thrown him three hundred miles away. He quickly cast a spell to catch up and asked, “Really?"
“Really." Yi Mo replied.
Xu Mingshi jumped up with a whoosh, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a deep smile. He ran to him and said, “Wedding wine, please let me drink your wedding wine, you must!"
Yi Mo’s expression seemed to relax a bit, he also stopped and said with a smile: “Okay, please."
Xu Mingshi laughed loudly and ran to the front happily.
Because of the happy event, the two of them walked faster and soon arrived at their destination, which was a mountain. The mountain was beautiful and reached the sky. The top of the mountain was covered with snow all year round, but on the mountainside, there were green cypresses, flowing water, birds singing and flowers blooming.
However, apart from birds and animals, there was no human voice.
Xu Mingshi looked around and asked, “He lives here?"
Yi Mo continued to walk forward, climbing over the mountainside and heading towards the top of the mountain. As he walked, he said, “He has become an immortal, and I am a demon. How can I know where he lives?"
Xu Mingshi followed behind him, and when he heard this, he stopped and asked, “Then why did you come here to find him?"
Yi Mo smiled, and only stopped when he reached the top of the mountain . He bent down and dug something out of the snow. After a long time, he dug out a jar of wine from under the ice and snow. He said, “Although I don’t know where he lives, I know where the wine he brews is."
Before he finished speaking, a white light flashed, and an angry voice in the light said, “You little snake, you stole my wine for no reason!" The voice was like thunder, and Xu Mingshi shivered and almost fell to the ground.
Yi Mo then put down the wine jar, stood up leisurely , and said, “I have something to talk to you about."
When the old immortal saw him put his wine in, he snorted and said, “You little snake, it’s definitely not a good thing to come to my door!"
Yi Mo just smiled but said nothing, as if he agreed.
The old immortal felt a little pain when he saw his expression, and felt the difficulty of the matter. If it was an ordinary matter, with the ability of this snake demon, it would have been settled long ago, why would it come to me. Moreover, a cold-hearted snake demon actually showed such a smile… The old immortal has lived for more than 2,000 years and has never seen him smile. He took a step back and said, “I heard that you broke into the underworld."
Yi Mo said, “Yeah." Xu Mingshi at the side opened his eyes wide and shouted, “You broke into the underworld?!"
The immortal and the demon ignored his shouting. The old immortal was silent for a moment, and knew what he wanted to talk to him about, so he quickly said, “I have no right to interfere in this matter."
Yi Mo didn’t answer, he squatted down, dug out the jar of wine that had just been put down, and dug out two more jars in a row, holding them in his arms, and walked towards the cliff. Holding the jar of wine high, Yi Mo turned his back to him and asked calmly, “Do you care?"
The old immortal fell silent, looking at his back, which was as rugged as a snow-capped mountain, cold and chilly, but somehow, it had a human aura. This unusual aura was a calamity. The cold-hearted little snake refused to remain cold. It was not that he was reluctant to part with these jars of wine, even if they had been brewed for nearly a thousand years. After all, he still felt a little bit reluctant to part with the snake demon that he had personally enlightened.
After a long while, the old immortal asked, “What exactly are you going to do?"
Yi Mo turned around and said lightly: “I want Shen Qingxuan’s three lifetime memories."
of three lives . Only when the memory of three lives is restored can he marry and no longer have regrets.
He is a cold -hearted snake who does not understand human love. He has been searching for love in three lifetimes, but he has always been stupid and foolish and has never been enlightened .
Because he was not smart, there was only one soul in his heart. He knew that he had done many excessive things, but he could be easily forgiven; he knew that he had hurt him countless times, but he could also be easily forgiven.
In both lives , he was left with a lonely grave, and he received no complaints.
In the third life, I am already stupid and foolish, but I still want to be “together".
So he understood that he had been searching for two hundred years just to tell that person that there is no such thing as failure to obtain, no such thing as love and separation, and no such thing as regret. Don’t cry.
After two hundred years of searching, it is just to add a sentence at the right time: I like you.
–I like you.
——I will marry you.
Don’t be sad if you can’t get what you want.
After going through so many things, he still wants to ask, are you still willing to marry? If you are willing or not, I will say: different paths lead to the same destination.
The old immortal was stunned, and after a long while he asked, “What do you want to exchange for it?"
Yi Mo paused for a moment and replied:
“Give it all!”
Give it your all.
The old immortal looked at him and sighed, “Okay, go find his lost soul and spirit . Only when his soul and spirit are complete can I restore his memory of three lives."
Yi Mo asked: “Where to find it?"
The old immortal looked at him suspiciously: “You don’t know?"
Yi Mo said: “I don’t know, I looked for it, but I can’t find it."
“You fool…" The old immortal couldn’t help but stamp his feet, “Didn’t you go to see him die in the last life?"
Yi Mo was silent for a moment, then answered, “He wouldn’t let me send him off."
In the previous life, he didn’t allow me to see him off.
He never listened to Ji Jiu, never listened, never listened. Until Ji Jiu was about to die, he chose to listen to him once, just to fulfill his last wish in this life.
He didn’t go to see him off, and he didn’t even go to see his body.
The old immortal sighed and said, “You are all fools. He didn’t let you send him off because he was afraid that you would be sad when you saw him. After all…" How could he bear not to see you in the end?
Human love is probably like this, with struggles on all sides and no way out in front or behind.
In the first life, Shen Qingxuan absolutely forbade him to come, but he left a snake kiss mark on his hand , still hoping that he would come and continue their relationship;
For example, in the second life , Ji Jiu didn’t want him to see her off, fearing that he would be sad. However, he still kept one soul and one spirit in the blood bead on his chest, hoping to see him one last time.
There is no right or wrong, true or false, it’s just that reason cannot overcome emotion, so you are trapped in prison, every step is wrong, every step is foolish.
Yi Mo turned around and was about to leave, to find the corpse from his previous life, take off the blood bead on his chest, and take a look at the soul.
No wonder he couldn’t be found. It turned out that he had been in his own blood from the beginning to the end.
“Little snake." The old immortal called out from behind him, “Thousands of years of practice were destroyed in an instant. Do you really not regret it?"
Yi Mo turned around, looked at the benefactor who gave him spirituality and long life, and said in a deep voice:
“If there is no him in this world, I just want to die."
If he were to get it and then lose it, he would rather die.
No complaints, no regrets.
As he spoke, he smiled quietly . That smile was so gentle, like the golden glow of the morning light.
