Chapter 70: The End of Life (1)
When I became conscious again, it was in a white space.
I looked down at where I was standing, and I was a little stunned when I looked at the circles of light that were rippling under my feet, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a while.
I remember that I fainted, and I was still fainted in Sanwei Mountain, why did I run here all of a sudden?
I looked around, and I was greeted by an endless white expanse, which was no stranger to me, and if I guessed correctly, I was in a dream. As for whose dream it was, I think it should be in my own dream, after all, I have fainted before, and it is impossible for me to enter someone else's dream again.
Thinking about it like this, the fear in my heart has also dissipated a lot, after all, it is in my own dream, and I will not be unable to get out like entering someone else's dream, but it is better to see what will happen next.
I made up my mind, so I didn't hesitate anymore, and casually found a direction and walked forward. The sound of "click" echoes in the space, and the ripples under your feet are like walking on water, which is very fun.
The white behind me gradually changed color as I faded away, a little ink flickered a few times, and then swept through the entire space as if it had been blurred by water, dyeing it black.
It was also dark in front of my eyes, and I subconsciously closed my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already a different situation.
The crimson blue sky seems to be a big rendering after splashing ink, covering the entire sky with a sprinkling of color, obscure and depressed. A few stars could occasionally be seen in the sky, and a crescent moon was half-hidden in the clouds, and the cold light was leaked to the ground.
In front of you is a bluestone staircase that extends downward, and the long staircase has no end in sight. On the steps below, there was a faint figure, slender and half of the figure hidden in the shadows, but it should be a man in general. And looking at the way he was standing, it seemed to be looking in the direction I was standing.
He stood for a moment, as if he had realized that he should not stand like this anymore, and was about to take a few steps forward, when I was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Stop!"
Eh??!
As soon as the words came out, I was stunned, what was going on? Why was I talking? I obviously didn't want to speak!
I tilted my head slightly to look to the right, and then I was stunned again - under the moonlight, a long shadow was pulled out of the bluestone steps, and under the wide sleeves embroidered with gold on the right, the white and slender fingers held a sword with cold light, and the fine red crystal embedded in the hilt of the sword refracted a charming light in the moonlight.
At the moment when I looked at the sword, the person standing on the steps took a few steps forward, and his voice was a little flustered and eager: "Can you stop and listen to my explanation?
So how?
I asked with great interest in my heart, but the right hand holding the sword involuntarily raised, and the long sword that flashed with a cold glow pointed at the figure.
I heard my own cold voice say, "Shut up, this happened, Bai Jin, what other face do you have to come to see me? What other face is here to keep saying let me listen to your explanation?"
Bai Jin: There is only one family surnamed Bai in these worlds, and that is the Qingqiu Bai family.
When did I get involved with Qingqiu?
I was confused, what was going on?
The man standing on the steps seemed to be trying to explain something, but I interrupted him.
My eyes widened so that I could see better, but my voice was cold and a little self-deprecating.
"Bai Jin, I am also the emperor of the dignified Phoenix clan, a descendant of the orthodox god clan, and I can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in this world. Now that this kind of ridiculous thing has happened, are you clearly ignoring my Phoenix Clan?"
"I'm not, you listen to me......" The man's voice was a little flustered, "You listen to me......"
"Listen to you?" I snorted coldly, "Listen to what you say?, I heard you say that you have always been romantic, or do you hear you say that beauty can't hold it in your arms?" My voice was slightly choked, "Bai Jin, I won't believe you anymore." ”
The man on the steps froze.
I raised my left hand and pulled out three fiery red hostas from my hair, and the three thousand green silks were unrestrained and poured down immediately.
The hand holding the sword flipped slightly, and the long sword picked out a few silver-white sword flowers in the air, and with a "snort", a piece of clothing was cut off, and the corner of the embroidered red skirt fell on the steps, at the same time, the left hand was slightly strained, and three hostas flew straight towards him.
"Bai Jin, the sky is proof, today I am a phoenix ballad, cut off my robe with you, and the love of the past, with that piece of marriage contract, will disappear from now on. I will also return to you what you gave me, from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, I Feng Song, and you Qingqiu Bai Jin, no longer have anything to do with it!"
The three fiery red hostas fell on the bluestone steps and suddenly shattered, making a crisp sound.
The man named Bai Jin looked at the broken hairpin in front of him in a daze, his figure was stretched out, and he looked a little lonely.
I stopped looking at him, turned around and flew off into the distance, and the person behind me finally came to his senses and looked in the direction I had left, with a painful look in his eyes.
"Little Ballad ......"
"Little ballad!"
I woke up with a cold sweat on my forehead.
The son sitting on the side took a chopstick and knocked the bowl rhythmically, watched me sit up suddenly, squinted his eyes, and teased in his voice: "Yo, are you awake?"
I exhaled a long breath, raised my hand to wipe the cold sweat from my forehead, and was silent to calm down.
When Childe saw it, he asked again: "What's the matter, you have a nightmare?"
"Nope. I shook my head, "I...... We've just ......."
I frowned, but I couldn't remember what I was dreaming about. It took me a long time before I sighed: "I can't remember what I dreamed just now." ”
Childe squinted his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Don't think about it if you can't remember, come and eat." ”
I nodded, and was about to get out of bed, when I suddenly noticed something very serious.
I hugged the quilt and looked at Childe vigilantly: "Childe, how did I come back? Why are you in my room?"
Childe put down his chopsticks and looked "Why are you only asking now that the response is so slow": "How did you come back? He looked at me with a blank expression on his face, and added, "As for why I'm in your room, little rumor, you've been asleep for five days, and if you don't wake up again, I'm afraid I'm going to forcibly wake you up." ”
"Five?!" I was taken aback, "I've slept for so long?"
"yes. Childe casually flicked his chopsticks and glanced at the food on the table, "Little ballad, do you really not want to eat?"
I also glanced at the dishes on the table, and the fragrance ran down the air into my nose, making my stomach rattle.
I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, rushed to the table with my hair scattered, poured a cup of tea and rinsed my mouth, and then took my chopsticks and ate it.
Childe looked at me gobbling up, took a new cup and poured me a cup of tea, and reminded me very intimately: "You eat slowly, be careful of choking." ”
Before he could finish speaking, as if to confirm his words, I choked on a piece of rice, and then covered my mouth and coughed desperately.
Childe sighed helplessly, raised his hand and patted me on the back, and then pushed the tea to my hand.
I picked up the cup and drank it down, and then I felt better. Childe withdrew his hand and looked at me with raised eyebrows: "You can choke on a meal, little ballad, do you dare to use it again?"
I glanced at him, ignored him, and ate with my head buried in the bowl.
Childe seemed to chuckle when he saw it: "Okay, I won't tease you." Little ballad, I'll tell you something serious. ”
I glanced at him, a little reluctantly: "What serious?"
Childe looked at me and knocked on the table with a smile, and said, "Don't be reluctant, this matter is very important." After that, he paused, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Xiao Yu'er, in the past few days when you are asleep, people have been missing in the city, and the missing girls are all girls in their twenty-eighth years, so ......"
I took a piece of meat and threw it in my mouth, looking at him with interest as I chewed, "So?"
"So......" Gongzi no longer lowered his voice, shaking the jade bone fan and said leisurely, "In this city, I'm afraid there are demons doing trouble." ”
I paused, looked at Childe and asked tentatively, "Then are we going to take care of it?"
"Why are you going?" Childe looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if he had heard something very surprised.
I was stunned: "Then what are you telling me ...... about?"
Childe seemed to see through what I was thinking, raised his eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "Little ballad, I just want to tell you this, don't run around during this time, don't be caught, and I want to save you." ”
I was silent and whispered, "Childe, you are also an immortal, and you don't stop it when you see the demons making trouble, is this really good?
"The vast number of people love the common people?" Childe looked at me with a smile, "Little ballad, I seem to have told you that my heart is only so small, and it only holds what I care about now." As for what kind of fraternity...... "Childe snorted softly, throwing me a rather disdainful look, "What the hell is that?
Me: "......"
Successfully seeing my deflated appearance, Childe seems to be in a good mood. He stood up and straightened the hem of his clothes, tilting his head slightly to look at me, the sunlight pouring in from the doorway gilding him with a pale golden halo.
"Xiao Yu'er, you eat slowly, I'll go first. After thinking about it, he added, "Don't forget to clean up after eating." ”
Without waiting for me to answer, he turned around and walked out, leaving me with only a cyan back with a pale golden halo.
I looked at Childe's extraordinarily chic back, hummed softly, and then continued to eat regardless of it.
Just like Childe said, what kind of demon or demon it is, I eat mine, how much love is it!
Adhering to the principle of not interfering in the affairs of the world anyway, my son and I stayed in the wine house very quietly for more than half a month.
But it seems that we are the only ones who are so peaceful, because in the past half a month, the heavenly city has become a mess because of demons.
In the past six months, there have been no less than dozens of young girls who have been taken captive, and there has been no news of them since they were taken captive, and even their bodies have not been found. Because of this, the people are panicked all day long, and they are extremely cautious when they go out, for fear that their own family will suffer next time.
When such a big thing happened, it was naturally impossible for the government to stand idly by, although it also sent more people to investigate, but after all, they were mortals, and their abilities were limited, so they didn't find out anything.
And as the days went by, I gradually felt a little uncomfortable.
As an immortal, I already have the qi of the righteous path in my body, which is what people call immortal qi. Although this thing can make you look a little more stylish, it is not really useful other than that. But it is undeniable that the feeling of immortal qi for those evil obstacles is indeed obvious.
There are more and more people missing in the Heavenly City, and most of these people have already died, so naturally there are more evil obstacles between heaven and earth. And the direct consequence of having too many evil obstacles, in addition to making me feel a little uncomfortable, will also disturb the qi of heaven and earth in a serious way.
The qi of heaven and earth is the most important thing to maintain the fortune of a city, not to mention that the heavenly city belongs to the imperial city, where the ninety-five supreme lives and has dragon qi. And if the dragon qi is damaged, it will lead to poor national fortune, frequent disasters, and the displacement of the people is miserable. A heavier one can bring down the entire dynasty in an instant, and changing the dynasty is just a matter of an eye.
When I told Childe this, Childe was in the cellar checking his wine.
Childe listened to my words, scooped a scoop of wine from the wine jar and smelled it, before he said slowly: "So, you want to take care of this matter?"
The wine cellar is filled with a mellow and elegant aroma, and it is very pleasant to smell. I took a deep breath, squinted my eyes and said pleasantly, "yes." Childe, you should also know that for so many days, so many girls have disappeared in the Heavenly City in a row, and if you count it, there will be an average of one missing every day, and I guess their lives should be in danger by now. I sighed, "Although mortals only have fifty or sixty years in their short lives, and they can be reincarnated after death, after all, they are in their best years, and there are still so many things they have not seen. Wouldn't it be a pity to die like this?"
"Life and death are the destiny of each other. Childe plugged the stopper of the wine jar, and then looked up at me, "Little ballad, you should know that all things in the world have life before death, and death before life." The cycle of cause and effect of life and death can constitute the balance of this world. ”
"That's what I said. I sat down on a wine jar and shook my legs, "But Childe, can you really watch people disappear and die in front of you and be indifferent?" I pouted, "I can't do it anyway." ”
"There's nothing you can't do. Childe shrugged his shoulders, "Little ballad, I said that I am not one of those immortals who take it as their responsibility to love the common people, and it is difficult to stand by and watch one thing?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's not difficult, Childe, you're really hard-hearted. I jumped off the jar, patted my slightly dirty dress, and thought for a moment, "But I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart...... As if I had made a decision, I said as I walked out, "Childe, I'm in charge of this matter anyway." You're right here fiddling with your wine, goodbye!"
I waved my hand in a chic way, and I kept walking. Childe raised his head from the wine jar at this time, and his eyes reflected my back as I faded away.
It wasn't until I turned the corner and disappeared from his gaze that he muttered to himself as if unconscious: "Little ballad, you say that I am hard-hearted, but why are you not hard-hearted......"
He smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and went back to look at the wine in the jar.
