The days after that were the happiest days in Ji Buyun's life, and he missed them immensely for a long time to come. Although those days were the same, he felt fuller, more diligent, happier and happier than before.

Every morning when he woke up, he would go around the cave as usual, and the weather outside was unpredictable, whether it was a clear sky, or a dark cloud, or a strong wind, or a drizzle, the only thing that did not change was that there was still no one to go. He would sit on the stone at the entrance of the cave for a while every day, and the weather changes outside would not affect him, nor would it affect his good mood, and after staring at the opposite cliff in a daze, he would practice the dragon dance several times, and then practice the water resistance technique dozens of times.

The purple gold bamboo soaked in the flower of earth and water is still decaying, and the bamboo tip that was originally more than a zhang long is now only three feet in the middle, but the purple-gold texture on the bamboo body is becoming clearer and clearer, reflecting the dazzling brilliance under the illumination of the pearl. Ji Buyun was a little worried that it would all rot, and asked the queen a few times, and the queen told him not to worry, soak it for a few more days and take a look.

When he returned to the Queen's bedchamber, he would go to the bath first, and at first, when the Queen asked him to bathe in the dressing room, he firmly objected on the grounds that the Queen could see with her senses, and he reluctantly agreed under the Queen's promise not to peek and not to go to her bed without bathing, and to teach him more spells.

After taking a bath, he would go to the study to read, and the queen would arrange different books for him to read every day, and she would explain and guide him in detail in the evening.

Every night before going to bed, he would drink with anticipation to the creation flower, the creation flower had already bloomed to forty-nine, and in front of the red heart-warming flower, he often thought of the high priest, thinking about what the white lotus in his heart was thinking about and doing now, thinking of the peerless face and looking back and smiling, he would smile involuntarily. However, he thought more about the queen, remembering every word she had said to him the night before, her smile, maybe it was to better learn spells, he didn't want to believe that he would think more of the queen who didn't know about the gods, so he could only explain to himself like this.

After falling asleep, he would dream of a cold fragrance as usual, and then his aura would begin to converge. When he opened his eyes, he would see the Queen's smile, and she was sitting beside him or leaning against the head of the bed, looking at him intently, and once when he opened his eyes, he saw her lying on his side facing him with her hands as pillows.

She always explained the contents of the book to him first, answered his questions, and then asked him questions about what he had learned before, and asked him to use the four spells of use, go, start, and stop in different combinations of spells, which she enjoyed every day, and every time she stumped him, the queen would be overjoyed, laughing at him a few words before guiding him.

Then they will talk and laugh as they like, talk about the queen's past, talk about Ji Buyun's present, talk about the people around her, talk about every interesting thing, and when it comes to happiness, she will laugh regardless of the image, and roll happily on the bed; The Queen's favorite topic was to imagine their future lives, and she described to him in detail what her dream home would look like, taking pains to design every detail, including the style of the furniture and the decorations on the walls. Once, she even asked Ji Buyun with a shyly face if she liked children, whether she liked boys or girls, Ji Buyun heard her voice, looked at her with a smile, she quickly covered her red face with her hands, and after a while, she dared to look at him secretly between her fingers. He no longer had any fear or vigilance of her, he knew how to make her happy, and sometimes he would deliberately tease her.

They rarely talked about highlanders, and she would be unhappy when she mentioned them, and Ji Buyun knew that the queen was obsessed with the events of the past, so she would try to avoid this topic every time they chatted. By chance, when Ji Buyun told the queen a story about his childhood, he inadvertently mentioned the Thirty Years' War that led to his birth in the country of the Highlanders.

"Tell me how the Highlanders are fighting now, will you?" asked the queen with interest, and this time she was not unhappy about making an exception.

Thanks to Captain Ao Xian, an expert in the military formation of the standing army, Ji Buyun was extremely familiar with the organizational structure and combat mode of the standing army of the highlanders.

After hearing this, the queen frowned slightly, and said, "How is it possible? No, no, is it true that the highlanders do not use runic weapons in battle now, and do not have the blessing of mage mana?" ”

"I've never heard of what you're talking about. ”

"Well, that's it. The queen jade waved her hand lightly and unfolded a picture in front of Ji Buyun.

On the screen, countless standing troops in black armor lined up in a neat phalanx, their short swords hung from their waists, but their hands were empty, behind the phalanx, several women in red robes stood in the air, and the woman in the middle held two order flags in her hands. The queen snapped her index finger and the scene focused on one of the standing armies.

"You see, the shield-shaped bracelet on his left wrist is the runic shield, and the armguard with the javelin and spear pattern engraved on his right arm is the runic javelin and spear. ”

I don't know what material the bracelet and arm guards were made of, they were black and shiny, and they were carved with gold patterns, and the bracelets were carved with a circular pattern, and the arms guards were carved with a strip pattern of nine short and one long.

The picture returns to the military formation, the woman in red in the center of the rear waved the flag, shouted "defense", all the soldiers in the phalanx followed and shouted "defense", and then the left arm was raised obliquely in front of the chest, and the golden rune on the bracelet bloomed with dazzling light, forming a circular light shield of about four feet in front of the soldiers; the woman in red waved the flag and shouted "protect", and all the soldiers in the phalanx followed with a shout of "protect", and all the light shields were connected together to form a wall of light , all the walls of light formed a huge arc of light shields backwards, enveloping everyone in the phalanx.

With a flick of the Queen's index finger, the shield of light now began to move forward rapidly, and the soldiers in the shield kept making javelin throwing movements, their hands were empty when they waved and raised their arms, and as soon as the golden pattern on the arm guards lit up, a golden javelin was projected, and when the javelin landed, it burst out with a dazzling light, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion. Countless golden javelins were projected forward, and the picture was full of light, and the explosions were earth-shattering.

The queen waved her hand to retract the picture, and said to Ji Buyun Zhengse: "This is the combat method of the highlander standing army, since the current priests know magic, how can they let the standing army fight with their bodies, isn't this a waste of human life?"

When it came to the high priest, Ji Buyun instinctively defended: "I haven't heard of this kind of combat method, and it must have been lost." ”

The queen pondered for a moment and said to Ji Buyun: "You tell me in detail about the current situation in the mountain behind the priest's courtyard." ”

The mountain behind the priest's courtyard strictly forbade others to enter, Ji Buyun had seen it from afar, and he heard that there were strange flowers and plants everywhere. After giving an account of the situation, he declared to the queen that he had heard of it.

The queen said with a heavy face, the current world is completely different from the original, and the location of the highlander priest's house is now the original highlander palace. The current location of the hill behind the priest's courtyard used to be five peaks suspended in mid-air, connected by a ladder in the middle, and the middle peak had the highlander queen's bedchamber.

"You said five peaks floating in mid-air?" Ji Buyun asked in surprise.

"Yes, five peaks floating in mid-air. The queen said sullenly: "That is the spiritual energy peak given by Haotian to the queen of the highlanders, and it is the most suitable place for cultivating spells." ”

"I've never heard of this. ”

The queen's mouth pursed, as if she was about to cry, and said, "I can only practice spells on the Spiritual Qi Peak, without them, what should I do, what should I do?"

Seeing that the queen was so unhappy, Ji Buyun's heart suddenly felt inexplicably painful, and he comforted him softly: "Whatever, anyway, we are going to go to the Central Plains Empire after we go out, and we will settle down there in the future and not come back, what does it matter if there are those peaks?"

Speaking of the topic of home, the queen immediately gushed to Ji Buyun about her latest idea of home, that is, to dig a pond in the yard, plant all kinds of flowers and trees on the edge of the pond, build a wooden bridge on the pond, and in the evening Ji Buyun will accompany her to enjoy the swimming fish and lotus flowers on the wooden bridge.

"What if it rains?"

"It's okay, if it's raining, you'll give me an umbrella, okay?"

Speaking of this, the queen suddenly looked desolate, and asked Ji Buyun pitifully: "The world now is completely different from the past, the aura peak is gone, after recovering my physical body, I will probably not be able to cultivate spells, and I will no longer be the queen of the highlanders, there is nothing, will you not want me?"

Ji Buyun immediately solemnly stated: "I swear in the name of Haotian that I will never be separated from you, never." "Haotian asked me to marry her, I can't go against God's will, then I said that I would never be separated from her, Ji Buyun thought in his heart, as if he was explaining the oath he had just made to himself, and like he was weakly apologizing to the white lotus in his heart.

When the queen heard this, she shouted "Great, you are so good", and then rushed towards Ji Buyun, Ji Buyun instinctively stretched out his arms and hugged him, and there was nothing in his arms, only then did he remember that the current queen was just a clear shadow.

The queen looked at him with satisfaction and smiled for a long time.

Since then, Ji Buyun and the queen have become more intimate, and the queen has fallen in love with this coquettish way of throwing herself into Ji Buyun's arms, and she has to come several times a day, and he wants to hug each time, and then face to face with her, laughing.

Every time she looked at the flower-like smile of the queen in her arms, Ji Buyun couldn't help but think how good it would be if this was the real her.

Happy times are always short-lived, more than twenty days have passed in a blink of an eye, and a few more days will be the days when the queen said that Ji Buyun can command Ying Yu to leave. It was a good morning, and he sat lazily on the stone at the entrance of the cave, basking in the sun and thinking about his thoughts. I don't know what's going on out there now, I don't know what my uncle and ants are doing now, whether they're still looking for themselves, I don't know if the high priest has thought about herself, how to find an excuse to visit her after she goes out, and I don't know if the queen hasn't said what she should do after she leaves, I don't know if she can take the crown that sealed her Yuan Shen out of her enchantment, if she can take it away, so that you can see her every day, but what if she recovers her body before returning to the Central Plains Empire? Well, you can let her live in the Central Plains Hotel first, she hates the highlanders so much, it's better to let her see it less, and she is unhappy.

Just when Ji Buyun was proud of his perfect idea, there was a sound of wings waving in the air, and he looked up and saw a big cyan bird flying over the waterfall below, holding something on its claws. The big bird flew to Ji Buyun's head in a blink of an eye, its figure covered the sky, its wings were as green as the dawn sky, exuding a faint light, and he was horrified to find that the bird's claws were grasping a huge five-headed snake, the snake body was twisted into a ball, and the five snake heads hung together. The snake was obviously so afraid of the big bird that it didn't even dare to struggle.

The big bird seemed to see him, whispered twice at him, and then continued to fly forward, the sound of which was indescribably pleasant. Soon, the figure of the big bird disappeared into the sky, and the sky was quiet, leaving only Ji Buyun, who was stunned.

This bird is too powerful, after coming back to his senses, Ji Buyun thought: It would be great if he could command it. He hurried back to the study of the Queen's bedchamber and went through all the books, which unfortunately did not contain any spells to control the great bird, or even any record of it.

At night, as soon as Ji Buyun saw the queen, he hurriedly told her about it.

The queen lazily knelt beside Ji Buyun, looked at his handsome face, and asked excitedly: "Is that bird cyan, exuding a soft light, it should have barked at you a few times, is it particularly good." ”

"yes, how do you know?"

"Oh, Qingluan, it's Qingluan. The queen exclaimed, a smile at the corner of her eyebrow.

"Do you know how to harness it?"

The queen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then laughed, and said while laughing: "I don't know, haha, I don't know, haha." ”

Ji Buyun heard the mockery in the queen's laughter, and hurriedly covered up his embarrassment with a smile, and said, "What's going on with that bird, tell me." ”

The queen told him that Qingluan is a different species of the phoenix, a divine bird, not a spirit animal, it is elegant and arrogant, powerful in mana, and its identity is more noble than that of the scattered immortals on the sea. When Haotian married the Queen Mother of the West, Shi Feng gave Qingluan to the Queen Mother of the West as a sacred bird to accompany her. Qingluan is the patron saint bird of the highlander queen, and the crown of the highlander queen is based on it, and it took away the five-headed snake that threatened the queen, it seems that Haotian still recognizes her status as the queen, but she doesn't want to sit in that laborious position anymore.

"Qingluan is very, very rare, even more difficult than a phoenix. ”

"Oh, why?"

"Because usually only the husband of the queen of the highlanders can see the green luan, and the song of the green luan is a symbol of good luck, do you know what it means to chirp at you?" asked the queen delicately.

"What do you mean?"

"Qingluan is a symbol of love, it chirps at you, it is congratulating you, congratulating you on finding the person you like, saying, who is your person you like?"

"This, this, am I interested in someone? How do I not know?. ”

"You, you. The queen's right index finger nodded twice at Ji Buyun, turned her head, and said angrily: "Ignore you." ”

Since Ji Buyun knew the meaning of the creation flower, he had always thought that he loved the high priest, and now he faintly felt that if the queen recovered her physical body, he was afraid that the queen's position in his heart would be heavier. With the queen's past identity and past affairs, after she recovers her body, it should be the best way to leave the country of the highlanders and go to the Central Plains Empire, he was originally very resistant to returning to the Central Plains Empire, but now with the queen, everything is different. But what should the high priest do? Haotian's will cannot be violated, if he must marry these two people, can he still ask the noble high priest to go to the Central Plains Empire with him?

Ji Buyun's original goal in life was to become the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, this goal did not require hard work, and it could be achieved naturally by relying on his uncle, so he was used to getting by and hiding in case of trouble. Now, according to God's will, he must marry two wives at once, these two wives are noble and complicated, which he did not even dare to think about, especially the high priest, his half-race want to marry her is equivalent to trampling on the dignity of all highlanders, and he needs to face the anger of all highlanders, and he thinks that he cannot solve this problem with his own ability. His habit is to avoid problems that can't be solved, but God is in front, and he can't help him to hide, and he can't decide where to go, he can only be at a loss, and his heart is at a loss, vaguely feeling that the queen is still alone, it is easier to marry, and they are happier together.

The queen didn't know that Ji Buyun thought of so many things at this moment, and when she saw that he was silent, she was even more angry, and couldn't help but snort a few times from her nose.

"According to Haotian's will, do I have to marry you and the high priest?" asked Ji Buyun.

The queen turned her back to him, clasped her hands on her shoulders, and said angrily: "You have to marry." ”

"What if she doesn't want to marry or I don't want to?"

"The will of God shall not be violated, whether you want it or not. The queen heard the meaning of his words, and immediately felt good, turned to look at him with a smile, and said, "But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as you treat me better." Promise me, quick, promise me that you will treat me better than she will in the future. ”

Ji Buyun didn't want to say what he thought in his heart, he nodded with a smile, the queen was overjoyed, cheered, and threw herself into his arms, and the familiar plot was staged again.

A few more days passed, and it seemed that it was the day to leave as promised. On this day, after the queen finished instructing Ji Buyun as usual, she asked him about the aura gathering, and he told the queen that the air mass in the sea of qi was now more and more colorful and brilliant, and then the two began to talk and laugh.

"I can go out in two days, I can't bear it!" the queen sighed coquettishly on his chest.

"Shall I go out by myself or will we go out together?" This question has been bothering Ji Buyun for a long time, and now he can finally ask it openly.

The queen's big eyes widened, and she said, "Of course we went out together." ”

"Oh, good. Ji Buyun felt a stone in his heart fall to the ground, and then asked, "Then what about your followers?"

"Alas, their mana is too shallow, and it will take a long time before they can be resurrected, and now they can only stay here. The queen sighed, rolled her eyes, and asked Ji Buyun: "Say, don't you want to take me out?" ”

"I swore never to part with you, have you forgotten?"

The queen's face was delicate, and she said softly: "You bully me." ”

"I didn't. ”

"Yes. ”

"Nope. ”

"I said yes, I said, say, say, you have. The queen raised her little fist and made a gesture to strike.

"Yes, yes. Ji Buyun surrendered immediately.

The queen smiled, and after laughing, Zhengse looked at Ji Buyun and said, "I want to ask you a few questions, you have to be honest with me, okay?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you had a good time all this time?"

"Happy, very happy. ”

"Me too, this is the happiest time I've ever had, and sometimes I'm so happy that I forget that I'm just a spirit now. The queen said softly.

"Well, sometimes I forget that you're just a shadow. ”

The queen asked, "Do you want to see the real me?"

"Yes, very, very much. ”

"Really, really want?"

"Yes, very, very much. ”

"Then tell me the truth, who is more beautiful than me or that high priest?"

"I think she's more beautiful, but I'd rather be with you. Ji Buyun was telling the truth, he felt that if he wanted to marry a high priest, there were too many difficulties to overcome, and it was easier and happier to be with the queen.

The queen stopped talking, bit her lip and pondered for a long time, and finally seemed to have made some great determination, and said: "You bring in that purple gold bamboo tomorrow morning, there should be a lot of milky white water droplets hanging on it, you must not touch those water droplets, just take them in and put them under the creation flower." ”
