Chapter 720 Fairy in Painting (13)
Wang Sheng stayed on the mountain for another seven days before he finally finished painting "Xianming Mountain".
The painting was finished, but he didn't want to leave.
Because he fell in love with this little flower fairy named Xuerong.
The two of them built a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and lived a life like a fairy couple.
During the day, he painted everywhere in the mountains.
He painted the water, clouds, sunrise and sunset of Xianming Mountain.
But the most painted one is the snow face.
Her every smile, every move became more and more vivid under his writing.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
He became a famous painter, and even though he lived in seclusion in the mountains, people still came to him and paid him large sums of money to paint for him.
But he gradually felt his inspiration was running out, and he didn't know if it was because he was tired of painting the water in Xianming Mountain. He always felt that when he started to paint, he no longer had the passion and concentration he had in the past.
He couldn't help but think of his childhood ideal in life: to include all the famous rivers and mountains in the world in his painting.
So he packed his bags again and went out to find inspiration and continue painting.
And since Xuerong wants to practice and maintain her human form, she can only stay in Xianming Mountain, which is full of spiritual energy, and cannot accompany him on his long journey.
Although she was reluctant to leave, she didn't want to see him always depressed, so she had to remind him: "No matter how far you go, you must remember that I will wait for you to come home at Xianming Mountain."
In the first few years, he came back every once in a while.
Between a couple, there is also the sweetness of a short separation that makes the relationship better than a newlywed one.
But gradually, he came back less and less often and was away for longer and longer periods of time.
Now it has been three years in a row since he last returned.
And her cultivation finally made a breakthrough, and she was able to maintain her human form even after leaving Xianming Mountain.
But when she finally found him after all the hardships, she discovered that he already had another woman.
Wang Sheng lowered his head and did not dare to look at her.
Xue Rong sneered: "I thought you went far away for your ideals. It turns out that you can't bear to leave the gentle land of the secular world. If that's the case, why did you provoke me in the first place?"
Wang Sheng was silent for a long time, but he only said: "It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You don't have to worry too much."
There was no explanation, no apology. Just a sentence like "It's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines" and everything was brushed aside.
Xuerong found it extremely ironic.
As a fairy, her face is still bright and beautiful, much more beautiful than the girl beside him.
Although he was already showing signs of aging, he was still not satisfied.
So, are all men like this? No matter how beautiful the person around you is, there will still be a day when you get tired of her.
It’s like he had seen enough of the scenery of Xianming Mountain and had to go to other famous mountains and rivers.
Xuerong's tears rolled down, and her voice was filled with endless disappointment: "I thought we could grow old together. This time when I left the mountain, I had even made up my mind to give up the immortal path and be an ordinary couple with you in the mortal world."
"But what about you? In just over a decade, you have already forgotten the vows we made to each other?"
He explained in a low voice: "I thought I could be with one person for the rest of my life. But later I realized that I still like the worldly life. Now, I am a world-famous painter. If I can't enjoy the fame and fortune that comes with being surrounded by beauties, wouldn't I be wasting my life as a man?"
"I'm sorry, Xuerong, just pretend you've never met me."
"No need to say sorry!" Xue Rong's voice gradually turned cold. "Practicing Taoism has always been difficult. But there is actually a shortcut, which is - killing your husband to prove your Taoism!"
After saying that, she slapped him with her palm and easily killed the unfaithful man.
Killing one's husband to prove one's truth is a legendary magic.
Some cultivators will take this shortcut in order to achieve higher levels of cultivation.
But I have never heard of any example of someone successfully ascending to heaven by killing their husband or wife.
But what Xuerong didn't expect was that after she killed Wang Sheng, before she could recover from her grief, she ascended to heaven on the spot.
After ascending to become an immortal, many dusty memories were restored.
It turns out that Xuerong is not an ordinary little demon, but a female fairy who made a mistake and was punished to go to the lower world to suffer the tribulation of love.
She had gone through four lifetimes of love tribulations. In the first three lifetimes, she was deeply in love with Wang Sheng and could not bear to part with him. Naturally, she could not overcome the love tribulations.
The fourth life is the last life.
If she still cannot overcome the calamity of love in this life, she will never be able to return to heaven, and even after death her soul will be scattered and cease to exist.
But when she finally got over her complex and joined the immortal class, she did not feel relieved for having survived the catastrophe, but felt empty in her heart. No matter what she did, she would always recall the past experiences of her and Wang Sheng in four lifetimes.
She became more and more confused as to why Wang Sheng had stayed with her and never regretted his love for her in the previous three lives.
In the last life, he suddenly fell in love with someone else and found a new love?
If he hadn't found a new love, she wouldn't have chosen to kill her husband to prove her faith, and she wouldn't have accidentally managed to escape the emotional catastrophe.
She wanted to go back to Wang Sheng to ask for clarification, but she could no longer find him in the Yin and Yang worlds.
Later, she returned to the Xianming Mountain.
There are traces of their lives everywhere in the mountains and at the foot of the mountains.
They have watched countless sunrises and sunsets from the top of the mountain;
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, they had embraced each other every night, in perfect harmony;
The gurgling sound of the clear springs on the mountain seemed like the gentle whispers beside his ears;
Even the soft mountain breeze seemed like his gentle caress.
Finally, she came to a cave and saw a mural there.
The woman in the painting is wearing colorful fairy clothes and dancing among colorful clouds.
Judging from the painting style, it was created by Wang Sheng.
The woman in the painting is Xuerong. But she is not the Xuerong in the fourth life, but the one dressed in the third life.
In that life, she was a stunningly beautiful dancer, and Wang Sheng was a mural painter.
He promised to paint her at her most beautiful appearance, but before the painting was completed, she was spotted by a powerful man and forcibly married.
She committed suicide on her wedding night.
When he heard the bad news, he came to the wall, wanting to fulfill his original promise.
But when he picked up the paintbrush, he couldn't draw her appearance.
In grief, he wrote on the wall with shaking hands: "A picture of sadness cannot be drawn."
The unfinished mural was completed in his last life using the identity of Wang Sheng.
Xuerong stroked the fairy on the mural and looked at it carefully.
His paintings were so beautiful and lifelike, and every stroke seemed to express his love for her.
"But why does he know what she looked like in her past life? When did he awaken his memories of her past life?"
