Chapter 10: The Light of Fireflies
When the sun was waning, it was already dark up and down the Ling Mansion, but there was not even a single light on.
Ling Ye was alone in the winding corridor quietly pacing, the rustle of the wind blowing the trees around him, and the shadows cast by the stars in the sky, and the leaves slid over Ling Ye's shoulders like milk. Even if there are no stars in the sky, in the snow-white eyes of the night, the road in front of you is no different from that of daytime.
She clutched the crystal stone that the third lady secretly stuffed into her in her palm, full of worries, and she didn't know where she had gone.
Suddenly, Ling Ye only felt that his right shoulder was slapped heavily, so he quickly turned his head to look, but there was nothing behind him, and there was no one. Ling Ye Fox was suspicious and moved forward again, and before he had taken three steps, Ling Ye's left shoulder was slapped again, but when Ling Ye looked back, there was nothing but the swaying shadow of the tree.
Ling Ye looked around carefully and stepped back, but even so, Ling Ye's shoulders were patted again, but he still couldn't catch the elusive person.
Ling Ye paused, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes, opening every pore on his body, and keenly feeling to capture the surrounding airflow. The light wind, the rustling of the trees, the fluttering of the hair, the light cushion of the toes, the raised arms...... Yes, that person is coming!
Ling Ye opened his eyes suddenly, suddenly turned around and grabbed the man's wrist, and with a grappling hand, he slammed the man against the wall.
"Grandma! It's just that...... Just kidding, quick, let go! Baili Night twisted his face and groaned in pain.
Ling Ye was stunned for a moment, then let go of his hand, and said coldly: "Next time, I will break your arm!" ”
Baili Dark Night stood up, moved his arms, and said lightly: "Girl, don't be so ruthless!" Look at your thin and weak appearance, you are so energetic in your hands! If I really want to hurt you, I can do it a hundred miles away, do you still have room to fight back? ”
Ling Ye glared at him and walked away.
Baili Dark Night rubbed it up with a smile, looked at Ling Ye's expressionless face, and said, "Are you in a bad mood?" ”
Ling Ye suddenly stopped, raised his eyes to look at the hundred miles of dark night, and thought, if the third lady is really not crazy, but the people who are afraid of Ling Mansion will become like that, then this crystal stone must not fall into the hands of Ling Mansion's people. And Ling Ye herself didn't know the mystery of the Dao, and she couldn't find the people of the Ling Mansion to answer, so the rest of the people were only in front of her.
Baili Dark Night saw Ling Ye standing still without speaking, and the pair of empty snow-white eyes stared at him without blinking, and Baili Dark Night suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart. A cold mountain wind came through the leaves, hitting the face of the dark night, and he only felt a chill in his back. Especially with such a pair of empty white pupils in front of him, it is even more creepy.
"You come with me!"
Ling Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed Baili Dark Night's wrist, and forcibly dragged him forward.
Baili kept asking in the dark, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to a safe and secluded place."
Walking on one wall at night, looking around, she didn't know where she was, let alone where she was safe.
Baili Dark Night saw Ling Ye's doubts, so he said: "I know a place, you come with me!" ”
After that, Baili Dark Night suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ling Ye's slender waist with his left hand, Ling Ye was about to resist, but he saw Baili Dark Night waving his sword finger, and the tip of his sword finger burst into a netherworld green fire. Baili Dark Night pressed his sword finger deeply in the center of his eyebrows, only to see that a mark of green fire suddenly appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and almost at the same time, a pair of cyan long wings suddenly grew on the back of Baili Dark Night.
"Hold me tight!"
As soon as the words of Baili Dark Night fell, he flew into the night sky with Ling Ye in his arms.
Ling Ye wrapped one hand around his waist in the dark night, and spread the other hand at his side, as if it was his own wings.
Baili Dark Night looked down at Ling Ye in his arms curiously, and said with a smile: "Your first time flying, aren't you afraid?" ”
"In this world, the most feared thing is the person himself." Ling Ye looked at the vast starry sky and said, "Only fear from the heart is fear." So, why should I be afraid? ”
With that, the corners of Ling Ye's mouth cracked with a hint of playful ridicule.
Baili Dark Night looked at Ling Ye with an approving gaze, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously.
"Since you're not afraid, I'll speed up!"
Before the words fell, the green wings of the hundred miles of dark night snapped, and the hundred miles of dark night pierced the night dome like a meteor.
Ling Ye stared intently at the sea of stars close at hand, one by one, as bright as a jewel set in black velvet. They flashed their eyes and sprinkled silver-gray light on Ling Ye's body, setting off Ling Ye's Chang'e like a fluttering down from the Moon Palace, soaring in the sea of stars with the breath of fireworks that do not eat the world.
Baili stared at Ling Ye in the dark night, speechless for a long time. The smile on his lips couldn't hide even in the inky night. Baili Dark Night smiled and stretched out his right hand, waved his sword fingers, and said something in his mouth, and saw a layer of whirlpool in the sea of stars on his right, and a dazzling star fell from the whirlpool and fell in the hand of Baili Dark Night.
"For you." Hundreds of miles of darkness brought the stars to Ling Ye's eyes.
Ling Ye looked at the star that was still blinking his eyes in a daze, and then looked at the dark night, and said, "This is ......"
"Hand pluck the stars." Baili secretly smiled proudly, "It's a high-level mage spell, if you like it, I'll teach you later." ”
Ling Ye glanced at the hundred miles of dark night, took the dazzling star, and the hundred miles of dark night took Ling Ye to stop in a mountain recess. Midnight looked around, except for the fallen leaves, which were broken branches, which was an ordinary mountain recess. But after the experience of Manyi Cave, Ling Ye believes that seemingly ordinary things are extraordinary.
Sure enough, before putting away his wings, Baili Dark Night deliberately turned around and plucked a feather from his wings. Baili Dark Night pressed his feather to his lips, and with a gentle breath of hot air, the feather turned into a puff of green smoke, which dispersed in the surrounding air. Ling Ye only felt a shock under his feet, and saw that the ground under his feet immediately cracked a crack. The gap became bigger and bigger, and a burst of dazzling blue light suddenly flashed out, and after Ling Ye saw it clearly, he found that it was two neat rows of fireflies.
Baili made a "please" posture in the dark night, and Ling Ye slowly walked into the crack in the ground. And a line of fireflies always surrounds Ling Ye, as if they are guiding the way. After turning a few corners, Ling Ye saw a very spacious arc in front of him, which was simply arranged with stone beds and stone tables, and nothing else.
