Chapter 510: Commitment
At night, Xiu Hongxue did not practice, but stood on the cliff behind the Wuliang Peak and looked out, standing in this place happened to be able to take in the vast area of Xuanming Valley.
As Xiu Shi'an said, she had never seen the scenery of Xuanming Valley well, and every time she went back and forth between Taoxi Peak and Wuliang Peak.
Xuanming Valley is indeed a very beautiful place, not the eerie place that the world imagines. In fact, not all demonic residences are gloomy or lifeless. At least Xuanming Valley is like spring all year round, and during the day, the bright sunlight dispels the gloom of this area, which is much better than the environment outside the valley.
If it weren't for the fact that their cultivator's main cultivation technique, Cang Lingju, was a demonic skill and they were born in the Xuankong Realm, they would be no different from immortal cultivators.
In Xiu Hongxue's eyes, this is the case, and the difference between demon cultivation and immortal cultivation in her eyes is only the difference in exercises. As for the cruel people in the world, there are both demon cultivators and immortal cultivators.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Xiu Hongxue.
Xiu Hongxue didn't turn around, she already knew that someone was coming. She looked at Xuanming Valley and nodded: "It's indeed beautiful." ”
The mountains of Xuanming Valley are constantly undulating, and each mountain range is full of many Qionglou and high pavilions, unlike the daytime, there are many walking birds and beasts and disciples shuttling back and forth in it, and it is a little quiet. But at night, the lights in those pavilions echoed the beautiful moonlight, and it was beautiful. This kind of Xuanming Valley has a unique flavor.
It was rare for Xiu Hongxue to see such a beautiful night scene, and her heart was rarely calm.
"The second sister often retreats in the house, and I am afraid that it is rare to see this scene. Xiu Shi'an stood beside Xiu Hongxue, facing the mountain wind, with a comfortable expression on his face.
Xiu Hongxue didn't reply, turned her head sideways to look at Xiu Shi'an, looking at his face that was brightly colored by the lights in the distance, and the indifference in his eyes decreased slightly. It was the first time she had seen such a demure An An, and it was only then that she realized that he was no longer young, and like herself, he was already ten years old. It's just that his behavior on weekdays still hasn't changed her thinking.
At the age of ten, he was still a child in the mortal world, but in the Xiuzhen family, he had already lost the innocence of a child.
"Second sister, where are you and Brother Xiuye going out of the valley?" asked Xiu Shi'an.
Xiu Hongxue shook her head, looked at the huge bright moon in the sky, and said, "I don't know, maybe I'll go anywhere." ”
Xiu Shi'an hugged his head and looked up at the bright moon, "Also, I heard from the eldest sister that you who practice this soul sound technique have to go out and wander, and it is not possible to practice behind closed doors." I already knew. ”
Xiu Hongxue: "I will come back to see you from time to time." ”
Xiu Shi'an turned his head to her, paused for a moment, and said, "Second sister, I have grown up. If you don't have time, it's okay if you don't come back, you don't need to remember. But you, take care of your own safety. ”
Xiu Hongxue was a little surprised when she heard him say that, she glanced at him, and saw that he rarely looked serious, and only then did she really realize that her younger brother had really grown up.
She didn't have any expression on her face, but she couldn't help but touch his head and answered softly, "Hmm." ”
Maybe the night was too charming, or maybe there was a period of time when they hadn't stayed with Xiu Shi'an so quietly, neither of them spoke, blowing the mountain breeze, looking at the moon, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Xiu Hongxue didn't practice tonight and watched the night scene here not because of the valley tomorrow, but just a whim for a while, of course, maybe it was because he was talked about a lot by Xiu Shi'an during the day, considering that the cultivation still had to be relaxed.
When I met Xiu Shi'an, I thought at first that he would find this place because he had something to say to her, but now it seems that it is not. Although they have been close since childhood, there are times when Xiu Shi'an is thinking and she has no way of knowing.
"Big brother?" suddenly Xiu Shi'an said in some surprise.
Xiu Hongxue turned her head, only to find that Xiu Boyue had come behind her at some point, and she didn't even notice it.
However, with Xiu Boyue's cultivation, if he didn't want to be noticed, people like Xiu Hongxue and Xiu Shi'an really couldn't feel his existence.
"Big brother, why are you here. Xiu Hongxue asked. The expression on his face has not changed a bit, so it seems that Xiu Hongxue and Xiu Boyue, who are facing each other, have a trace of similarity on their faces, and they have no expression. But Xiu Shi'an still felt that Xiu Hongxue's eyes were even more frozen, and Xiu Boyue was really just indifferent.
Xiu Boyue: "I heard that you are going out of the valley tomorrow." ”
"Yes. This is the arrangement of Brother Xiuye. ”
Xiu Boyue nodded, then took out a jade slip from the storage ring and threw it to her, "Take this jade slip, it contains my full strength, as long as the cultivation is under me, it can resist and save you from harm." After saying that, he turned around without hesitation, as if he had come here just to give her a jade slip.
Xiu Hongxue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Yes." It took a while to come back to his senses. Then she looked at the jade slip in her hand, and then looked at the back of Xiu Boyue, who left directly, and suddenly shouted: "Big brother!"
Xiu Boyue paused, turned sideways, and still had no expression on his face, "What's the matter?"
Xiu Hongxue's mouth opened and did not speak. On weekdays, Xiu Boyue was very busy, and Xiu Hongxue didn't dare to disturb more. Out of the valley is just a trivial matter, with his eldest brother's cultivation of eight years is just a very short time. So she just reported to him with the sound transmission jade slip, but she didn't expect him to come to Wuliang Peak and give her such a jade slip.
His eldest brother either practiced or followed the patriarch on weekdays, and did not have much time. But just because of this trivial matter, he came over and told him to give her a jade slip, saying that it was impossible not to be moved.
Although his eldest brother has always been strict and indifferent to them, his love for her and Xiu Shi'an is no less than that of Xiu Yuerong, and it can be said that the eldest brother is like a father. But while Xiu Hongxue's heart flashed with warmth, doubts and panic flashed. It was as if a voice in her heart was telling her that it shouldn't be like this, that everything shouldn't be like this.
She didn't tell anyone, she didn't tell Xiu Ye or Xiu Shi'an, as she grew older, some pictures would always flash inexplicably in her mind, although it was just the same picture intermittently, she couldn't see anything, but it was so real that she couldn't forget it. Because of this, she even secretly went to the library of the Xiu family to inquire about a lot of information.
Thinking of the possibility of guessing after reading those materials, she felt a little uneasy in her heart for no reason. So over the years, she has allowed herself to spend every day and every night in her practice, not letting go of any time, not allowing herself to have free time, so that those images will rarely appear in her mind.
Thinking of this, and then looking at Xiu Boyue's face that was becoming more and more indifferent in the light, she opened her mouth and said, "Big brother, thank you." ”
Xiu Boyue's eyes in the moonlight were shining, and he couldn't see that many thoughts were turning in Xiu Hongxue's mind at that moment, and he just said, "Don't let yourself fall into a crisis." ”
Even if Xiu Ye was there, he still couldn't help but worry, after all, Xiu Hongxue was the first time to go out of the valley in the real sense.
Xiu Hongxue pursed her lips, nodded, and stopped talking.
After Xiu Boyue left, Xiu Shi'an couldn't help but say, "Second sister, what's wrong with you?"
He could see that something was wrong with Xiu Hongxue, but he didn't practice the soul sound technique, and he couldn't know Xiu Hongxue's complicated mood at this time.
Xiu Hongxue looked at him, shook his head, looked at the night scenery of Xuanming Valley, and asked abruptly after a while: "An An, if one day, I do something wrong, will you forgive me?"
When she said this, the look on Xiu Hongxue's face was still indifferent, but only she knew the ups and downs in her heart. I don't know if the night tonight is too pleasant, too peaceful, Xiu Hongxue's usual unshakable state of mind has risen and fallen again and again.
Xiu Shi'an didn't know why Xiu Hongxue asked this, but as a twin, he still sensed Xiu Hongxue's uneasiness. He suddenly grabbed Xiu Hongxue's hand, shook it like he did when he was a child, and grinned: "What is the second sister talking about, if you really do something wrong, I will also forgive the second sister, not only me, but also the eldest brother and eldest sister." So second sister, don't think nonsense, I'm not used to you like this, it's better to be that cold second sister. After speaking, he deliberately showed a disgusted expression, but there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes, and he didn't think it was just a casual talk.
Xiu Hongxue looked at his expression, and when she heard his words, the cold color in her eyes was like a glacier melting away.
Didn't you hesitate to answer without asking what you did wrong?
At this moment, the doubts and uneasiness that had plagued Xiu Hongxue's heart for many years seemed to have really disappeared because of his words. She held Xiu Shi'an's hand instead, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
I silently promised in my heart: no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely protect you.
[PS: The plot seems to be a little dragged, I want to speed up.] Trust me, some of the details that have been written now are for the sake of foreshadowing. When I go back to my hometown on Saturday, I don't know if it will be more, after all, I am tired of running around in the car, so I will report it first. 】
