74.The Demon (12)
Han Cicada was carried to elementary school by Zhuo Qianqian early this morning.
The fox also jumped out of the mirror to fool the ten parties outside, and by the way, he put information out of the ten parties' mouths.
At the same time, Ying Qian also stood up, returned to his room and began to prepare some materials for a temporary trip to the Demon Realm, after all, the Demon Realm is dangerous, and it is necessary to be prepared.
Zhan Haoyan was still in his Soul Leaving Sect, and he was busy because of the matter of forging magic weapons. As for the new Lu Ning, as soon as it is time for him to go to bed, he will jump back into the greenhouse by himself and turn back into a flower in a pot.
Several monsters are busy with He Qianjue's affairs, but He Qianjue himself is idle and has nothing to do, he sat in front of the mirror and watched the scenery outside the mirror, looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to look at the silent snake around him.
Since He Qianjue introduced Lu Ning to the others in the mirror, Yan Snake has suddenly become silent and abnormal in the past two days. In front of He Qianjue, he is still obedient and obedient, and he will answer politely when he talks to him. But he didn't take the initiative to speak, He Qianjue thought that he might hurt his heart a little, but he didn't know how to comfort Yan Snake would be better.
But it's not comforting, the mirror space is only so big, and you can't look up and see you all day long, if you keep maintaining such an embarrassing atmosphere, even if He Qianjue is thick-skinned, she can't bear it. Therefore, He Qianjue thought about it, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to just say something to the snake......
The snake over there was unexpected, and took the initiative to speak to He Qianjue, and said, "I'm sorry, sir." ”
Yan Snake took the initiative so much, but He Qianjue felt even more uncomfortable, and replied curtly: "Why do you suddenly apologize to me?"
"Because it has caused trouble to my husband. Yan Snake is an honest monster, and obediently bowed his head to He Qianjue: "It's my own business who I like, it has nothing to do with Mr., but Mr. has to suffer a lot of embarrassments because he has to take care of my love, so ...... I'm sorry. ”
As soon as He Qianjue heard the words of the snake, he had an even more headache, feeling that this snake was too polite and too serious, and he was so upright that He Qianjue didn't know what to do with him.
In the midst of the trouble, Yan Snake continued to speak: "Sir, don't take too much care of me, let alone think about my feelings, or be too gentle with me. If my husband doesn't like me, he can always get rid of me...... Originally, according to the agreement between us, it was a matter of course for me to serve my husband. ”
He Qianjue really felt that he was going crazy, but he couldn't think of anything to communicate with this stupid snake for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, reached over and pressed the snake's head.
"There's one thing I have to make clear to you, Snake. He Qianjue said softly, he raised his head and stared at Yan Snake's golden eyes, "You like me, I know this very well." But if I want to accept this feeling now...... With all due respect, I still hope you give up sooner rather than later. ”
Yan Snake felt sour and sad in his heart, and lowered his head again, he was obviously very tall, but now he looked sluggish and shrunk into a ball, which was really pitiful.
However, He Qianjue did not relent, and continued with a tough attitude: "Because I will never give you what you want, Yan Snake...... I am an unphased demon, and many of my feelings are almost copied from others, and I can't even confirm whether the qiē emotion in my heart so far is my own or 'He Qianjue'. ”
"I can't make progress with you, because I can foresee no future between us. I can still like you, Word Snake...... But it will never be love. ”
He Qianjue said so decisively that he was speechless when he heard it, he was even more depressed, and he shrank in front of He Qianjue and was silent for a long time. After a while, Yan Snake finally raised his head, forced himself to maintain a calm expression, and said to He Qianjue: "It's okay, sir...... I'm not someone who likes to force it, I just want to be able to keep it as it is, and it's good to be like this, as long as I'm still with you, I'm ......"
As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his words, and lowered his head for a long time before he whispered, "Sir, can I hug you?"
He said this sentence so pitifully that He Qianjue felt a little sorry for him inexplicably, reached out and rubbed the snake head of the snake again, and replied, "Yes." ”
As soon as the promised words were spoken, the Yan Snake suddenly pounced, he pounced too hard, He Qianjue couldn't react, and the whole person was thrown to the ground by the Yan Snake.
Yan Snake pressed He Qianjue and didn't let him move, hugged He Qianjue's waist with one hand, stroked He Qianjue's long hair with the other, and his face was still rubbing in He Qianjue's neck socket, He Qianjue felt that his whole body was covered by him.
In this way, Yan Snake hugged him for a long time before he slowly let go of He Qianjue, stood up with his head down, and said, "Sir, I need some time, I'll go out for a while...... Probably, it won't be back until a few days later. ”
After saying that, Yan Snake turned around and walked out of the mirror, but He Qianjue reached out in time to grab his arm.
He Qianjue said to him: "It's okay to go out, be careful, you are only a spirit now, very fragile." ”
"Don't worry. Yan Snake still lowered his head when he answered, not looking at He Qianjue, He Qianjue heard that his tone was a little hoarse, knowing that he was sad, so he stopped being tough and let him go.
When the snake completely ran out of the mirror and ran away, He Qianjue began to sigh again and again in distress, and he was so entangled that he didn't know what to do.
He didn't expect that the youkai he put in the mirror would like him, but it still happened. This made He Qianjue can't help but reflect on himself, could it be because he seems too approachable, so it makes people feel that there is an opportunity? Or is it better for him to have a cold attitude?
But if he has an indifferent attitude, it is contrary to He Qianjue's original intention, he wants to collect a lot of monsters, have a lot of friends, and better yet, he can form a big family, this is He Qianjue's truest wish who has been trapped in the mirror for many years, if he has an indifferent attitude, he can't be called a friend or family.
There are too many worries, so annoying that He Qianjue can't help but pull the hair on his head, pulling his hair so much that he has to drop a lot of hair, just when he is entangled, a voice suddenly sounded next to him, Lu Ning ran out of the greenhouse flower pot at some point, jumped to He Qianjue's side, pulled the corner of his clothes and shouted: "Sir." ”
Seeing Lu Ning, He Qianjue's mood recovered slightly, and she forced herself to cheer up, and reached out to hold Lu Ning into her arms again.
"Sir, aren't you happy?" Lu Ning shrank into He Qianjue's arms and raised her head, staring at He Qianjue's eyes in fascination.
He Qianjue replied honestly: "Yes, there are too many troubles. ”
"Because that snake brother liked you just now, are you worried?" Lu Ning looked very young, his mind was actually not low, he had his own understanding of many things, so He Qianjue was not surprised that he would know this.
He Qianjue said: "Yes, I rejected him...... He looked sad and made me ...... a little I don't know what would be better for him. ”
"Why don't you accept him?" Lu Ning reached out and tugged at He Qianjue's collar, "Brother Snake looks very good, and he will definitely take good care of you, sir." ”
He Qianjue looked down at Lu Ning in his arms with a smile: "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Lu Ning held her head high and smiled at He Qianjue: "Of course I know." ”
"I give you love. He Qianjue reached out and pinched Lu Ning's face, "So you can't accept others." ”
This sentence made Lu Ning bow his head and think for a while, but soon raised his head to look at He Qianjue and said, "Mr. is a liar." ”
"Where did I deceive someone?" He Qianjue stretched out both hands and pinched Lu Ning's face on both sides.
Lu Ning was pinched in the face and said vaguely: "Mr. has fallen in love with someone else." ”
He Qianjue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and was a little puzzled: "Who am I in love with?"
"Lu Xuange. Lu Ning reached out and grabbed He Qianjue's paws, so that He Qianjue couldn't continue to pinch Lu Ning's face. Lu Ning stared at a pair of pure and flawless black eyes, looked at He Qianjue and said seriously: "Mr. fell in love with him, so he threw me away and threw me away to the underworld." ”
He Qianjue was really a little stunned at the moment, feeling a little uneasy about Lu Ning's strange and surprising words, he withdrew his hand and rubbed his temples with faint pain, shook his head and said, "I won't fall in love with Lu Xuange, let alone lose you...... That's impossible. ”
"But I remember. Lu Ning spoke slowly, he didn't seem to have much anger or sadness, and his tone was very calm, "When Zhan Haoyan's predecessor used the Dream Back Stone for me before, although I said that I didn't think of anything, in fact, some of them could still be remembered. But when I saw you, I didn't say anything. ”
He Qianjue felt that his head hurt even more, and he still shook his head persistently: "Impossible, I won't leave you." ”
Lu Ning said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not angry at you for abandoning me......"
"I said it couldn't be!" He Qianjue's tone suddenly rose, vaguely with some anger, he stood up suddenly, and let Lu Ning in his arms naturally slide on the ground, Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at He Qianjue in a cower.
Lu Ning saw the cold light in He Qianjue's blood-red eyes, He Qianjue said: "I will never fall in love with Lu Xuange, I can fall in love with anyone, but it will never be Lu Xuange!"
Lu Ning realized that He Qianjue was angry, which made Lu Ning a little scared, and the frightened Lu Ning lowered his head and slowly got up, his movements were very slow, because he was not quite used to the human body. After Lu Ning struggled to get up, he staggered and walked towards the greenhouse, and when Lu Ning was scared, he would think about the big vase in the greenhouse, he would turn into a flower again and shrink inside, this behavior was sometimes like an ostrich.
However, as soon as Lu Ning got up, He Qianjue picked him up and hugged him in his arms, He Qianjue calmed down and said to Lu Ning, "I'm sorry, I was too fierce just now." ”
Lu Ning didn't speak, and lay on He Qianjue's shoulder obediently.
"Can you tell me more specifically?" He Qianjue asked him, "about the part of the memory you recalled...... How did I get rid of you in the first place?"
……
Lu Ning is very well-behaved, his character has been sharpened quite mild in the thousands of years of waiting, or it is also affected by the amnesia effect of the water of the underworld, and his feelings have become quite peaceful and unwavering, and if it is good, it is gentle and peaceful, not arrogant or impatient, and if it is not good, it is cold and indifferent.
But his feelings for He Qianjue are obvious, and he will rely on him especially when he lies in He Qianjue's arms. It was so well-behaved that He Qianjue couldn't help but lean on his face and kissed his forehead, and Lu Ning's cheeks flushed.
Lu Ning changed back to his original form, exactly the same as when the Wuxiang Demon first saw him, and at a glance he knew that he was an innocent and occasionally stupid cute child. So every time He Qianjue holds Lu Ning in his arms, he will think of He Qianjue in the past. The previous He Qianjue was also full of joy, holding the young deer he cherished the most.
He Qianjue felt that she owed Lu Ning a little.
No, not somewhat, it's that I feel very indebted to him. obviously said that he wanted to be together all the time, but he took away someone's qiē, and lost his soul on the way, and threw away his soul to the underworld, so that Lu Ning waited there alone for so long, this is no longer a debt to be described, and He Qianjue said that he thought this was a betrayal.
Fortunately, Lu Ning didn't seem to mind, he would even tell He Qianjue so that He Qianjue didn't have to mind, and after brewing and thinking for a while, he began to tell He Qianjue about that memory.
"I don't think much of it. ”
Lu Ning's soul was accepted into his body by He Qianjue, his soul was very weak, and occasionally he was conscious, so he could see the outside through He Qianjue's eyes, and his soul at that time was almost fused by He Qianjue, so He Qianjue's thoughts and thoughts, He Qianjue's views and actions, would strictly affect Lu Ning's thinking.
In short, it will be assimilated.
What this kind of assimilation guide zhì He Qianjue has experienced, Lu Ning has also experienced, they will have the same feelings, the same thoughts, the same concepts. If He Qianjue hadn't thrown him into the underworld, he would probably have completely merged with He Qianjue and become the same person, there was nothing wrong with this, Lu Ning wouldn't feel very painful, he felt that he was continuing to live in this world with a strange attitude.
It was only later that He Qianjue met Lu Xuange.
Lu Ning couldn't remember much, but felt that after He Qianjue was brought back to the sect by Lu Xuange, he had been favored and cared for by Lu Xuange, and over time, the two of them began to have some feelings of long-term love.
Probably also the influence of assimilation, when He Qianjue gradually, gradually fell in love with Lu Xuange, Lu Ning admitted that he also had the same feelings as He Qianjue, gradually fell in love with someone, and had the idea of wanting to give everything he wanted to give to the other party.
At that time, Lu Ning could understand He Qianjue's mentality, and Lu Ning felt that He Qianjue and Lu Xuange were also a good ending. After all, Lu Ning only has a wisp of soul left, and he thinks that in the end, he will either be completely assimilated by He Qianjue, or sent to the underworld by He Qianjue to be reincarnated, and there will be no third ending.
So when He Qianjue was really determined to send him away, Lu Ning would not have a sense of resentment.
He Qianjue listened to Lu Ning's story, but he couldn't help frowning, he pressed Lu Ning's shoulder, and said to Lu Ning: "You said that I personally sent you to the underworld?"
Lu Ning nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, you took me to the gate of the underworld and threw me in. ”
This sentence made He Qianjue's eyebrows twist into a ball: "Did I say anything to you before I threw you in?"
“…… No. Lu Ning seemed a little frustrated by this, which made him feel down, but he quickly cheered up again, "But it's good not to say anything, so as not to have obsessions...... Although I accidentally soaked in the water of the underworld after entering the underworld, all my memories left were obsession. ”
"I'm not going to throw you away without saying anything. He Qianjue looked at Lu Ning seriously, and he asked: "I still have some understanding of my own character, even if I really empathize with someone else, and then I think you are in the way and want to throw you away." I will not leave you in the underworld, I will find a way to reforge your body and let you start a life of your own, completely under your control. ”
He Qianjue's words made Lu Ning can't help but raise his head, and looked at He Qianjue with wide eyes, only to see the seriousness revealed in He Qianjue's blood-red eyes, He Qianjue said: "And there are many doubts in your memory, you said that I took you to the gate of the underworld, so what happened before I took you to the past?"
He Qianjue asked like this, so that Lu Ning couldn't help but bow his head and think, he didn't remember very clearly, which made him have a hard time recalling, and after thinking for a long time, he replied to He Qianjue: "I'm not very sure...... Before, my soul has been collected by you in the sea of consciousness in your body, I am a dead soul, staying in the world for too long will gradually dissipate, in order not to let me dissipate, you will provide me with a lot of spiritual energy every day to nourish. ”
"I remember that you also provided me with a lot of aura that day, and said that you would teach me some cultivation methods......" Lu Ning racked his brains to recall, "and then Lu Xuange came to you...... You cut off the conversation with me, and I fell asleep for some reason. ”
"When I woke up, I found myself being carried by you with a magic weapon, all the way to the gate of the underworld, on the way I called you, and you didn't want me. ”
When He Qianjue heard this, his brows furrowed even more, his tone was full of inexplicable annoyance, and he said, "I will provide you with aura and teach you the method of cultivation...... That shows that at that time, I wanted you to step into the path of ghost cultivation, as long as you start cultivating, your soul will not dissipate lightly, and you can live in this world smoothly without my body. ”
"If I had this thought, I wouldn't have thrown you to the underworld...... But after Lu Xuange came to me, something like 'I threw you to the underworld' happened, which shows ......"
He Qianjue paused as he spoke, he looked at Lu Ning, but he really wanted to see something else through Lu Ning, and there was an indifferent light in his blood-colored eyes: "It was Lu Xuange who threw you away, not me." ”
"He may have taken me over, or he might have simply become me. He Qianjue guessed, "It may even erase my memory of you." ”
Lu Ning was also a little stunned by this conclusion, and said in disbelief: "Why did he do this?"
He Qianjue didn't answer, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and rubbed Lu Ning's head again, and smiled at Lu Ning: "Who knows." But forget it, we don't have to worry about it so much, anyway, now that you're here, you can start all over again. ”
He Qianjue said to start over, this sentence seemed to make Lu Ning a little happy, lying in He Qianjue's arms and smiling at him: "Sir...... If I start over, can I like you as much as Brother Snake just now?"
He Qianjue couldn't hold it, and reached out to pinch Lu Ning's face again, and said, "Didn't you like me before?"
Lu Ning was a little shy, covered her face and said: "Of course I liked it before, but I don't dare, Mr. is very good, I always thought that Lu Xuange would be more suitable for you...... Then, I thought it was incredible, and it was incredible that I could see you again and think of you again, which is really the most incredible thing in the world. ”
Lu Ning didn't have any memories of before he made a contract with the Wuxiang Demon, which means that he only roughly remembers the memories of the period after he was taken into his body by He Qianjue, but this memory is not complete.
Lu Ning had stayed in He Qianjue's sea of consciousness for a long time, and was assimilated by He Qianjue and fed with his own spiritual power, so that Lu Ning's soul had the same ability as the Wuxiang Demon, that is, imitation, so he was able to imitate those flowers and plants in the underworld to live.
This ability to imitate makes Lu Ning like a real underworld flower, he can slowly condense his spiritual power in photosynthesis, making his soul more and more condensed, that is to say, he has become much stronger than before, and if he teaches him the method of cultivation, it will be easier to get started than before.
This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
……
The fox who was abducted outside came back in the evening, and the cicada was also sent back by Zhuo Qianqian, only the snake was still hanging outside, He Qianjue sadly realized that the snake might not come back in the next few days, is it because the words of refusal before are too heavy?
Ying Qian also prepared the equipment, and waited for the fox to come back and report the information to him, and as soon as the fox came back, he said bluntly: "That guy named Shifang has already gone back to report to their master, and told me that he will come again tomorrow." ”
"Does that mean he will bring Lu Xuange over tomorrow?" asked Ying Qianfa.
The fox didn't answer immediately, but said to Ying Qian: "In order to get a word out of this guy's mouth, I borrowed the name of your family's Tu Yuan, you won't mind, right?"
Ying Qian said generously: "It's okay. ”
The fox said, "In order to deceive the ten parties and prevent him from removing the mirror immediately, I lied to him that I was a friend of Tu Yuan, and after Tu Yuan was expelled from the sect, I deposited a mirror that was suspected of sealing the heavens with me." ”
"This guy immediately fell into the trap, he may not be sure which side is the real Heaven Sealing Mirror, because Ying Qian, you told me before, although this person in the Ten Directions is an elder of the Qinghong Sword Sect, but he has not been in office for a long time, and he may not know the inside story of the invasion of the Demon Realm thousands of years ago and the sealing of He Qianjue by the Heaven Sealing Mirror, so I relied on him not to understand and deliberately deceived him like this. ”
"Then Shifang asked me to take him to see the mirror where Tu Yuan had deposited zài, but I retorted that it was inconvenient today and asked him to come back on a certain day. ”
The fox paused as he spoke, and continued, "This guy is in a hurry and says he'll come back tomorrow. I told him that I would take him to my house tomorrow to look in the mirror, but the girl's house was not very good, so I deliberately asked him, 'You won't bring anyone else, will you?'"
Ying Qian asked, "Then what did he say?"
The fox bent his crescent eyes and smiled: "This guy intimidated me, saying that the mirror may be a treasure stolen by Tu Yuan from their sect, and he said that he would bring someone to identify it tomorrow, and if it was determined that it was the mirror stolen by Tu Yuan, he would take the mirror away." ”
Speaking of this, the fox seemed to get excited, twisted his ears and tail, and said: "Then I will act with him, I cried and said that it was given by Tu Yuan, and it was mine that gave me, and you are not qualified to take my property directly......!
Ying Qian was no longer interested in the fox's next words, and waved at the fox: "Anyway, that guy named Shifang may bring Lu Xuange over tomorrow, right?"
The fox spread out his hand: "It's just possible, after all, I can't just go up and ask: When will you bring Lu Xuange over? And you have to prevent him from directly moving the mirror away and taking it back for identification, which will be a failure." ”
Ying Qian said: "Then without further ado, let's start acting now, you move the mirror, and I will go to the Demon Realm to send a paper crane message." ”
He Qianjue interjected beside him: "What if Shifang didn't bring Lu Xuange over? ”
"If that's the case, we'll have to
