Chapter XXIV: Similarity and Complementarity

The two of them talked and laughed along the way, and finally reached the bottom floor, Yifu felt that someone was accompanied, but he didn't feel that the road was very long and the time was very slow.

Looking at the door in front of her, she only felt very small.

It was a hundred-meter-tall door that was tall enough to rival the statue of the goddess in the branch of the Twelve Churches.

A cold breeze wafted through the crack in the door, carrying with it the smell of some earth and spring buds after the rain.

For some reason, when she stood here, she always felt that this place was not a hundred feet underground, and what she saw when she opened the door might not be a deep ancient ruins, but a glorious scenery like the Temple of the Heavenly Palace.

"How are we going to get in?"

Faced with such a heavy door, Yifu turned his head to look at Xue Erxun.

"Maybe I have a solution. ”

Sherson pulled out her necklace from the collar on her chest.

It was a small glass bottle, no smaller than her fingernails, with a small silver wind chime attached to the outside of the bottle.

Inside the glass bottle was a delicate carving of a small tree with young leaves, and under the carving there was a pale blue liquid that had only reached its roots.

I saw her gently shake her necklace, the wind chimes struck the glass bottle, and she chanted some difficult spells in her mouth, for some reason, Yifu heard her chanting spells, but it always felt very familiar.

They seemed to have seen each other somewhere, and they were close to each other.

The feeling grew stronger with her chanting and the shaking of the ground, she no longer expected what would be like behind the slowly opening door, she just wanted to watch Xue Erxun at the moment, her soul was a little unsolicited to come close to her and listen carefully to her chanting.

But she didn't.

Her soul wanted to rush past, but her flesh felt like it had been filled with lead.

Is this some kind of mysterious magic, or is it influenced by the leylines here?

"Let's go. ”

Xue Erxun said this, then took her hand and led her behind the door.

Yi Fuqiang resisted the urge to ask her, she looked at the white hand holding her, and then looked at her who was walking a little faster and could only see her side face.

Is Xue Erxun afraid that she will slip away? What does she want to do? Does she want to harm herself?

Her vigilance was raised, and she unconsciously began to think like this, but even though there were already thousands of thoughts in her head, she grasped the hand more tightly, and a faint sweat oozed from her palm.

For some reason, what she was more nervous at the moment was Xue Erxun in front of her, and she was afraid that something would happen to her.

It's very contradictory, very tangled.

"Don't be afraid, there should be no danger inside. ”

Shell turned her head and looked at Yifu gently.

Obviously, she wanted Yi Fu to protect herself, but at the moment, she had almost no combat ability, but she was comforting a strong man not to be afraid.

If she is normal, she will definitely hook the corners of her mouth to form the most mocking arc.

But this time she didn't, instead, she frowned slightly, and held the cold hand more tightly.

...

The world behind the door was not as splendid as Ifu had imagined, or shabby, or filled with an atmosphere of mystery.

It was like an ordinary relic cave, only simpler and taller than the cave she had been to before.

"You just... What kind of mantra are you chanting? It's amazing. ”

Ifu broke the silence and asked.

"That, it was taught to me by the World Tree, but it's not a powerful spell, and the necklace just now, which also contains the branches, river water, and grass leaves of the World Tree, which is the World Tree's blessing for me. The reason I was able to open that door was because Luyue had run away from the World Tree Territory before, so I should be able to crack a lot of her spells. ”

"So, I understand. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xue Erxun nodded, and Ifu thought that there was another silence between them, but then she spoke again.

"Ayin, do you think we look alike?"

This question was something that Yi Fu didn't think of, so he asked rhetorically, "Which one?"

"A lot, just talk about how you feel. ”

"Think about it..."

Ifu thinks about what happened to him and Sherson after they met, and tries to find out what they have in common.

"Aside from the similarity of the names and the correspondence of the names in the Elvish language, I think there are more complementarities than similarities. ”

She paused, and seeing that Sheerxun was patient, she lowered her voice and continued, "It's like I must have beaten you in battle, but I feel like you're smarter than I am..."

"Haha, is that so? I think I'm a little bit better at the reckless attributes. ”

"Are you saying I'm cowardly?"

Ifu was not convinced.

"Because of this kind of thing, I think it's you who wins in terms of childishness. ”

"I don't pay attention to you, you always like to make fun of me. ”

"Ah, it's me wrong, it's me who is bad, don't leave me. ”

Xue Erxun immediately admitted his mistake, and Yi Fu also laughed out loud.

In the past, Yifu rarely coquettishly behaved like this with his friends, but when he met such a Xueerxun, he always felt very kind.

It was as if she was back in time to be a "human".

Xue Erxun looked at Yi Fu, who was puffing up for a while and smiling for a while, and couldn't help pursing his lips, revealing a heartfelt smile.

She was naΓ―ve, and she was contemptuous of everyone.

She has been like this all her life, she seems to be living in the sunlight of all eyes, but in fact, when she looks up, she will find that the sun has long been decayed, and the scorching heat of the previous sun has made her bruised all over her body, which makes her yearn for a presence like the moon even more.

She didn't know what Yifu had experienced before that made her so flawless, she thought she was a happy child all her life, without wind and rain and frost and snow, without noise and worries, so that she was enough to be a moon high above and admired by everyone.

It is the moon that heals her wounds and brings her compassion.

So when Xue Erxun learned that her past was also so scarred, and there was some indifference and cruelty, she felt yearning and distress in her heart.

"There's going on there. ”

Just as Sherson was lost in her own musings, Ifu tugged at her sleeve and woke her out of her thoughts.

She listened intently, only to hear some crisp sounds rushing into her ears, but she couldn't hear clearly, so she raised her head and looked in the direction of Yifu's finger.

Only then did she realize that they had finished the corridor and were about to reach the next place.

Entering through a narrow one-person wide door, she found that it was a square room, and it was too prosperous compared to the desolation it had been.

And the movement that Ifu heard just now came from this room.
