17. Chapter XVII
When Su Xian was very young, she always followed a man in black, and she called that person her father-in-law.
At that time, she didn't know who her stepfather was and where he was going to take her, she only knew that her father-in-law had taken her through a lot of places, and she had seen a lot of life, death, sorrows and joys.
Since then, Su Xian has known that many things in this world are no match for life and death.
Now, Su Xian is in a fantasy world, there is bright sunshine outside the window, and bright people in the window, this scene is particularly beautiful, but no matter what, there is a voice in Su Xian's heart that is seriously telling himself, this is all fake, these are all things that can't go back.
Su Xian felt that sometimes it was not a good thing to be too sober.
For example, she was trying her best to stay with Chu Qingjiu in the illusion for a while now, but she couldn't.
"If I'm in the sunshine mirror right now, who are you?" Su Xian sighed softly.
Chu Qingjiu in front of him was still the same as before, he played with Su Xian's hair, and said seriously: "Why were you caught in the Xuanyue Sect?" Didn't you think about going out? ”
"When we go out, I'll take you to Jingzhou for a walk, and buy a new piano to compensate you, okay?"
Su Xian sat in place, looked at Chu Qingjiu's side face, and opened his mouth again: "I still have very important things to do, Xiao Chu is still outside, Mrs. Yan is also outside, and there are two people from the ghost sect outside who want to take their lives, I can't stay here." ”
Chu Qingjiu didn't seem to hear her words, and still stared at Su Xian calmly.
Su Xian raised his hand lightly and covered the back of Chu Qingjiu's hand, his voice was a little reluctant, but also a little firm: "If you want me to see any memories, just watch it, I'm going out after reading it." ”
Chu Qingjiu, who was originally silent, seemed to hear Su Xian's words, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at him.
In a moment, the scene in front of me changed.
Su Xian was in a dilapidated hut, the wind and rain were miserable outside, and the muffled thunder sounded for a while, and the dilapidated walls of the hut couldn't bear the wind and rain, and the wall panels were slapped and crackled.
There was such movement outside the house, but it was very quiet inside, a small bonfire was lit in the center of the house, Su Xian stared at the dancing flame silently, and the pale and weak Chu Qingjiu was next to him.
Su Xian remembered this scene, this was the last night before they escaped from the Xuanyue Sect, Chu Qingjiu was seriously injured and was dying, she took Chu Qingjiu to the Chu family for help, and handed over Chu Qingjiu to the Chu family.
Chu Qingjiu has always been a lively person, but because of his serious injury, he was surprisingly quiet that night. Su Xian stared at the fire with blank eyes, so he also stared at the fire, and after looking at it for a long time, Chu Qingjiu couldn't help laughing, and said weakly: "I was thinking about what you saw staring at the fire, so I followed you." ”
Su Xian was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Then what did you see?" ”
"I'm dazzled when I see it." Chu Qingjiu muttered in a low voice.
Su Xian: "......"
Chu Qingjiu coughed twice, but even the cough was weak, Su Xian saw that his eyes were gloomy, and he carefully hugged him, stroked his back, and smoothed his breath. Chu Qingjiu leaned on Su Xian's body, lowered his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Now that I think about it, in fact, I shouldn't have taken you out of the Xuanyue Sect, otherwise you should go back." ”
Su Xian didn't respond, but his movements stiffened slightly.
Chu Qingjiu continued: "I know that you are a member of the Xuanyue Sect, you were not arrested, a person like you who has no status and no background in the righteous path, the Xuanyue Sect will not be idle to arrest you." ”
Su Xian bit her lower lip lightly and did not speak.
"I deliberately made a misunderstanding, just to see that you are so bullying, Xuanyue Sect arrested me, I can't trouble them, so I can only bully you. The place where you live is so good, and your status in the Xuanyue Sect should not be low, I deliberately spoke to bully you, take advantage of you, and can be regarded as collecting this debt. ”
"Who knew that you little demon girl had such a good temper, no matter what I said, you wouldn't be angry no matter how you bullied you."
Su Xian was still quietly holding Chu Qingjiu.
Chu Qingjiu seemed to be a little angry, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "So what I said to you before, whether it was good or bad, was a lie to you!" ”
Su Xian's body trembled a little, I don't know if it was because Chu Qingjiu was shaking, or if she was shaking.
The two of them hugged and trembled together, Chu Qingjiu frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something more, but Su Xian hugged him tighter, causing him to cough, and he didn't finish what he had to say.
Su Xian was afraid at that time, she wanted to ask Chu Qingjiu, if he once said that he wanted to take her, was it also a lie. But she didn't dare to ask, and she didn't dare to let Chu Qingjiu say it.
They just hugged like this, and then she fell asleep, and Chu Qingjiu also fell asleep.
And so the memory ended.
When Su Xian opened her eyes again, she saw that she was in an ordinary hut, which was not any place in her memory. She pushed the door out, and there was a man in his forties, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a fairy wind and bones, smiling at her.
"Xuanyang Mirror?" Su Xian walked over to him with a calm face and asked a question.
The man smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Yes, the Xuanyang Mirror is me, and I am the Xuanyang Mirror." ”
"When I fought with the Ghost Gate Protector before, it was you who made us unable to move?"
"Yes, it's still me." The man thought for a moment and said, "I've driven them away now. ”
Before Su Xian could respond, Xuanyang Mirror said, "You really don't have anything you want to see?" ”
Su Xian stared at the man's eyes and muttered for a moment, "You also read my memories." ”
"Yes, I will watch as much as you watch, and those memories are not what I want to see, but what you want to see, so you can see them." Xuanyang Mirror nodded.
Su Xian understood the meaning of the Xuanyang Mirror, and she said, "I like Chu Qingjiu. ”
After she said this, she laughed first.
She had never said this before, whether it was to herself, or to Chu Qingjiu, or to others, she had never seriously thought about it in her heart, but until this time, she found that it was actually very easy to say this sentence.
Xuanyang Mirror also smiled: "Yes, I can see that you like him." ”
"But I don't want to be trapped by Chu Qingjiu for the rest of my life." Su Xian still had a smile on his face, and the smile was as warm as the breeze blowing through the peach blossom branches in March. She stared at the Xuanyang Mirror, and her voice was soft but firm: "You showed me the wrong thing, these memories are not what I want to see." ”
"I could like him alone for the rest of my life, but there's still a lot to do and I'm not going to stop because of him." Su Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "If he is not happy when he hears this, let him come back to me." ”
Xuanyang Mirror was stunned, and then laughed out loud.
"You little girl, how can you say the same thing as that kid!" Xuanyang Mirror smiled and couldn't help but sigh.
Su Xian guessed: "The kid you are talking about, is it Mu Shuliang?" ”
"Not bad." Xuanyang Mirror said, "That kid is also a talent, he ran into this Xuanyang Mirror and didn't see anything, so he grabbed me and chatted, and I let him out after ten days of chatting." ”
Su Xian listened to his statement and almost guessed the situation at that time.
Xuanyang Mirror stared at Su Xian for a while, swept his sleeves, and said to Su Xian: "Since you can see me, it means that the heart has already been formed, but this is just the beginning, after you go out, go and listen to what Shu Wuzhi said, I am not your master, and I can't care about you, but I want you to help me bring a word." ”
"Bring Yan Zhixin, you sue her, if she wants to come, I will wait for her here."
"Okay." Su Xian nodded in response, "Then I'll leave first, Master." ”
After Su Xian finished saying these last two words, Xuanyang Mirror glanced at her more, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xian returned to the hut in Bilan Mountain.
Surrounded by the traces of the battle just now, the house where Yan Zhixin had lived for many years had been destroyed to the point of being in shambles. Su Xian looked around, only to find that Yan Zhixin was curled up on the ground in the corner, Xiao Chu was standing motionless beside her, covered with scars, some of the lacerations were shallow and some were deep, but there was no blood oozing. Looking to the side, the hut was quiet all around, and the two protectors of the ghost gate had indeed disappeared. Su Xian didn't know what method Xuanyang Mirror used to drive people away, she just walked towards Yan Zhixin step by step.
Yan Zhixin heard the voice and raised his eyes to look at her, with tears in his beautiful eyes.
Su Xian saw her holding the Xuanyang Mirror in her arms, and said: "Although the ancestor is dead, he sealed part of his spiritual power into the Xuanyang Mirror before he died, the ancestor is the Xuanyang Mirror, the Xuanyang Mirror is the ancestor, he asked me to sue you, if you want to go to him, he is waiting for you in the mirror." After a pause, she added, "But you have to know that although the master in the mirror was transformed by his spiritual power during his lifetime, he is not the real master after all. ”
"Yue Ran ......" Yan Zhixin was stunned, but she hugged the mirror in her arms tighter, she muttered the man's name twice, closed her eyes and said: "It's a dream, I have rarely dreamed of him in my dreams over the years, I would rather see him in a dream than live alone in this mountain." ”
Su Xian pursed his lips and looked at Yan Zhi for a long time, but he didn't speak.
Yan Zhixin opened his eyes again, and smiled at Su Xian with tears: "Thank you, send me in." ”
Su Xian glanced at her, but her voice suddenly sank: "But before you go in, I have one more thing to say." ”
Yan Zhi looked at Su Xian puzzled.
Su Xian didn't speak immediately, but took a few steps to the side. Yan Zhixin's eyes followed Su Xian all the way, and finally arrived at Xiao Chu's side.
Su Xian raised his hand and untied the mask on Xiao Chu's face.
It was a handsome face, with clear eyebrows and picturesque eyes, and it was seven points similar to Yan Zhixin. When Yan Zhixin saw that face, his complexion changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said astringently: "Light wine? ”
