Chapter 9 – A Thousand Years
In response to Li Xiaoxiao's strong request, Li Moyun had to live alone in a room, and his beautiful fantasy came to naught, so he had to hang his head and enter his room.
It didn't take long for the three of Ling Tan to go to his room and tell him something, saying that they were going to find an item left by the Ling An clan nearby, and let him stay here quietly for the past two days, and he would come back if he found it, and by the way, Lu Ziyu was a living fossil, and he could ask her any questions about the history of a thousand years ago. After explaining, the three of them slipped away, leaving Li Moyun in a stupid daze, he wanted to go to Li Xiaoxiao, but Li Xiaoxiao said that she had something to do during the day, so let him stop pestering her these days, and he would take the initiative to come to him after the thing was done.
Li Moyun was speechless, seeing that there were only two people left in the huge temple (oh, there was a living dead next to the main hall), there was no way, he couldn't bear the loneliness, so he had to chat with Lu Ziyu to pass the time. When I came to the garden in the temple, I happened to see Lu Ziyu who was admiring the flowers, so I stepped forward to talk.
At first, he wasn't very open, but gradually the two got acquainted, and Li Moyun's out-of-the-box temperament immediately let go.
"Hey, I said Sister Yu, why have you lived so long?" Li Moyun finally asked the question that had been bothering him from the bottom of his heart. Lu Ziyu, who was picking the petals, glanced back at him, turned around and sat down on the nearest stone chair, and talked about her lightly.
"We people who have no enlightenment have two ways to survive, one is to live for 120 years, and for 120 years, we can live for 12 lives. And the second is a 100-year life, and a death in 100 years is also a 12th life, but the difference is that the second method is to shed the skin every ten years, which can keep the youth forever. Lu Ziyu said as he touched Li Moyun's face.
"That's nothing, it's just that I used part of my life to exchange for eternal youth, what's so scary. Li Moyun looked indifferent, but unfortunately he seemed to ignore the phrase to molt.
"Hehehe, I like a young man like you who is not afraid of death. Lu Ziyu's eyes showed a strange look.
"Huh~~ (pouting in disgust) Don't, I only have my sister Xiaoxiao in my heart, and I can't tolerate anyone else anymore, if *** can still consider it. "Li Moyun was very serious at first, and then very obscene.
"Hmph, you want to be beautiful," Lu Ziyu rolled her eyes and pushed him away, "Don't look at who your sister and I are." ”
"Hey, by the way, I want to ask, why is my Uncle Ling Tan so afraid of you?" Li Moyun looked curious about the baby, and amused Lu Ziyu.
"You said Ling Tan," Lu Ziyu's eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "He was the same as you were back then, coveting my appearance, but I was just at the time of molting, and I was scared of him, and I ran out of my room with a crawl, and I haven't seen him since." ”
"Where am I coveting your appearance, fart, don't talk nonsense, it's going to kill you. Li Moyun glanced out the door with a frightened expression. Seeing him like this, Lu Ziyu's face suddenly darkened, as if he had thought of something.
"What's wrong with you, your face has become so ugly? It's okay?" asked Li Moyun with some concern, his hand still shaking in front of Lu Ziyu's eyes.
Lu Ziyu looked at the face in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Li Moyun's left cheek, his stupid eyes seemed to be a little intoxicated, and the two were silent for a while, and Lu Ziyu brought the past sorrow together.
"I used to have a man like you loved your sister deeply, we grew up together, he believed unconditionally what I said, we played the piano and danced the sword together at night, but in the end I lost him, until I ...... later" Lu Ziyu said, her shoulders began to tremble, Li Moyun found out about her abnormality and half-knelt her in his arms, gently caressing her back.
"At that time, there was no more Wuqiguo, I was the last survivor of Wuqiguo, 'he' couldn't accompany me because there was something to do in the clan, so I traveled alone to play in the mountains and rivers, and when passing through a city, there was a royal family, by chance, I saw my appearance, and wanted to forcibly kidnap me, I was powerless to resist being caught in his palace, and suffered unprecedented torture and pain, and it was at that time that I chose the road of molting in order to keep my chastity. When the royal family saw this, they were frightened and quickly ordered me to be imprisoned, saying that I was a monster and that they wanted to put me to death. I endured the insults and humiliations of everyone, and burned at the stake in full view of everyone. Just when I was already in the dust, 'he' came ......."
"That 'he' can't be the one outside the palace, right?" Li Moyun's face also changed, but Lu Ziyu didn't answer him, and continued to tell her past.
"He rescued me at all costs and took me to Kunlun Mountain. In order to avoid the pursuers, I came to the Kunlun Ancient Realm with him. And I was also lucky, after we arrived at the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, the palace master took a fancy to my talent as a Wuqi countryman, so he accepted me as the successor of the temple, but on the condition that I kill 'him' with my own hands, I agreed without hesitation. Lu Ziyu raised her head and looked into Li Moyun's eyes, and found that the other party's eyes did not have the look she imagined, so she calmed down and continued, "That's right, I stabbed him with my own hand, and he just stood there motionless, and I stabbed a sword." Lu Ziyu said with endless remorse in his expression, biting his left lip, "He looked at me expressionlessly, without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, and then he looked into the depths of the temple without any words. He dragged his wounds and left, and I haven't seen him since. But the day after he left, the West Queen Mother Palace was destroyed, and the palace master kept saying sorry to me before he died, and I was puzzled until later, I didn't know that he destroyed the entire West Queen Mother Palace for me. But by that time I had no feelings, no hatred, no nostalgia, I had lost everything. In this way, I guarded the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West alone for thousands of years. Lu Ziyu's eyes were a little stunned after speaking, Li Moyun was stupid after listening to it, and he didn't think it was the one outside the door for a long time.
Another wave of show of IQ went to the dog. "Uh, who is he?" asked Li Moyun stiffly.
Lu Ziyu's eyes, who came back to his senses, gradually became bright, "Hehe, the one you said outside the door is my guard, his name is Zhai Yu." He had no personal consciousness at all, he was already there when I came to the temple, he only followed orders, he didn't have any thoughts. As for who that 'he' is...... Hmm~~ I won't tell you. Lu Ziyu felt a little proud in his heart, and on his face that was still a little sad just now, his expression was as gorgeous as a blooming flower, his slender and slightly curly eyelashes were stirring up and down, and his clear and moving eyes attracted people's attention like vast stars, and Li Moyun almost fell into it.
After beating a spirit, Li Moyun quickly shook his head and expelled the strange thoughts in his mind, but the more he looked at Lu Ziyu, his shallow consciousness involuntarily leaned towards her, as if he felt that Lu Ziyu was very close, and the idea of wanting to guard her emerged in his heart.
Lu Ziyu saw his abnormality, so he had to touch his head with his hand and soothe him, but said in his mouth, "This is my last life, if one day, your sister doesn't love you anymore, will you consider me?" Hearing the last sentence, Li Moyun's eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something, and his whole body trembled, but in the end he didn't say anything.
In the next few days, Li Xiaoxiao was rarely seen during the day, and she could only be seen at night. So during the day, Li Moyun chatted with Lu Ziyu, asked some historical stories, teased her by the way, and watched the flowers and scenery with her. After a few days, the two are like childhood sweethearts who have known each other for many years, and the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.
When he was with Li Xiaoxiao at night, he took the initiative to explain to Li Xiaoxiao what he had done for a day, but when it came to Lu Ziyu, Li Moyun was a little strange Li Xiaoxiao's reaction, generally speaking, as long as other women were mentioned, Li Moyun was beaten by Li Xiaoxiao** is indispensable. But in the past few days, she didn't seem to have much reaction, but was gentle and considerate to him, Li Moyun also touched her head with her hand and asked her if she was sick, Li Xiaoxiao just patted his hand away and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Moyun was strange, but he had been living peacefully, and he didn't think so much, and he didn't know what happened until 5 days later.
This day was very dull, it didn't seem to be any different from the past, the only difference was that Lu Ziyu was gone today, and Li Moyun, who hadn't seen Ling Tan and the others for a few days, felt more and more strange. He came to the back mountain of the temple alone to walk around alone, but saw a scene that he would never forget.
Li Xiaoxiao's body slowly floated, as if it was pulled by the snow peak of the temple, and slowly floated towards the center of the altar, and it didn't take long for a crystal clear key to fly out of the altar, wrapped in a blue crystal core. The more Li Moyun looked at it, the more wrong it became, and when he saw Li Xiaoxiao's body gradually wrapped in ice, he was stupid, and rushed to the Snow Peak Altar like crazy. Everyone who found the abnormality turned to look at him, Li Han shouted and stepped forward to stop him, but unfortunately, now Li Moyun has lost his mind, he injured his father and entered the altar, and when he was about to meet Li Xiaoxiao, he was knocked out by the powerful impact of the altar, and fell on the snow more than 10 meters away, spitting blood, his right hand was still holding something in the air, and his eyes were black and fainted.
Li Moyun, who was in a coma, was in the room, and only Lu Ziyu was guarding his bedside every inch. After about half a day, Li Moyun woke up, and Lu Ziyu, who saw him wake up, stood up as soon as possible.
"You're awake" Lu Ziyu was very happy, and the expression on her face was like that of a little girl who had received a gift.
Li Moyun, who was a little more sober, sat up in an instant, wanting to get out of bed and go to the mountain behind the temple. "Sister Xiaoxiao, Sister Xiaoxiao......" kept chanting Li Xiaoxiao's name in her mouth.
Lu Ziyu pressed his shoulders and said softly, "Your sister is fine, you can listen to me calmly first, okay?" Lu Ziyu was very distressed by his performance, but had to pretend to be very gentle to comfort him. "Although your sister is frozen in the back mountain of the temple, she will not be harmed in any way, and the temple will nourish her body and help her stabilize her heart. When you find something else to replace your sister, you can get her out. And where she is is also for her good. ”
Lu Ziyu kept looking at him like this, and Li Moyun didn't react for a long time, but his eyes were blank. Just as Lu Ziyu relaxed a little, he immediately got out of bed and ran out of the house. It's a pity that he was too seriously injured, and he didn't run far before he fell weakly outside the door, and Lu Ziyu, who saw him fall, hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up and gently pillowed his head on his chest. Li Moyun's faint cry sounded, and tears wet Lu Ziyu's corset, but neither of them seemed to care about these details. After a while, Li Moyun's mood stabilized slightly, and Lu Ziyu tried her best to drag him back to the bed and take care of him with all her might.
Under Lu Ziyu's careful care, Li Moyun's body quickly improved, but since he was able to get out of bed, one thing that must be done every day is to go to the back mountain to look at Li Xiaoxiao's ice sculpture in a daze. And Lu Ziyu watched with him, but most of Lu Ziyu's eyes were on him.
Until one day, Li Moyun took the initiative to say to Lu Ziyu, "Sister Yu, can you take care of Sister Xiaoxiao for me?" Don't worry, I will come back soon to take her away, well, ...... soon" Li Moyun's eyes have always been blank, and he nodded as he spoke, as if he had lost his soul.
Lu Ziyu listened to it and agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I will definitely wait until you come back." It's just that Li Moyun didn't bother to think about anything, and he didn't even notice that what Lu Ziyu said was very strange.
When they saw Li Han and the others again, Li Moyun didn't react at all, but Li Han and the others didn't say anything. I don't know if he figured it out during this time, several people didn't speak, Ling Tan couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Li Moyun, "Xiaoyun, we should go, out of the Kunlun Ancient Realm, we will tell you everything." ”
Li Moyun didn't say anything after listening, and seemed to have accepted his fate, just like that, Li Han and the three of them said goodbye to Lu Ziyu, and Li Moyun dragged Li Moyun, who had no reaction, and left the West Queen Mother Temple.
However, before leaving, Lu Ziyu secretly stuffed a ring-shaped jade pendant to Li Moyun, and told him that this thing can be communicated, but it can only be very brief, if there is something important, she will send him a message, and he can receive it as soon as possible. (No one thought that this inconspicuous jade pendant would help a lot in the back.) )
It's just that when they left, they didn't notice that there was a shadow behind them that kept watching Li Moyun's back, in a daze for a long time. That jade pendant was originally given to her by 'him', but in the end, it ended up in Li Moyun's hands.
"Goodbye my eternal love," Lu Ziyu's eyes were rippling, as if they were about to drip, leaning against the wall of the main entrance of the temple, Qianqiansu's hand was gently leaning on it, and her red lips moved slightly. Just like that, watching Li Moyun's back disappear into the distance, she gradually slid weakly down the wall to the ground, knelt sideways by the wall, covered her face and sobbed silently.
PS: (What is the relationship between Li Moyun and Lu Ziyu?, and who is that 'he'?)
