Chapter 62: Fantasy and Reality
The crowd slowly walked away. Tang Ying stood alone in front of this snow-covered tomb, frozen into ice from the inside out.
Chunfeng ......
She called silently in her heart. The cold wind swirled at her feet, as if in response to her, and a sigh sounded in her ears. She was full of cleverness, staring at the grave bag with dead eyes, looking forward to the miracle in "Liang Zhu" being staged in front of her eyes. The person who is thinking about her can come back from the other side of the world and look at her again from the other side of the Lethe River, even if it is to take her into a butterfly!
However, the tomb did not crack. It's just that the ground under your feet shakes. In fact, it was not that the ground was moving, but that she was shaking herself in the face of hunger, cold, and extreme exhaustion.
Like a sapling that has lost her support, she sits crooked in front of the tombstone. Fingers swiped over Li Chunfeng's three words, and I couldn't help but think of the situation in the Xishan courtyard, where she sat in his arms and was held by his big hand to write calligraphy. Tears surged from the bottom of her heart again, drowning her worldly realm.
She has traveled from the 21st century to the Tang Dynasty girl, and has spent 20 years now. In the past 20 years, she has always been a bystander of this great era, and the only person who has always been by her side is Li Chunfeng.
The cultivation and education of childhood, the protection and companionship of youth, and the love and affection of adulthood are all closely related to Li Chunfeng. It can be said that he occupies the vast majority of her entire life. Now, as he vanished, so did most of her.
She felt empty. It's the kind of emptiness that hollows out all the internal organs. No, that's not enough, even the spiritual pillar is gone. Li Chunfeng is the only one who knows her secrets, and now everything is back to square one, and all the burdens are back on her shoulders.
She remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival ghost market when she was seven years old, and it was Li Chunfeng who held her in the cold and biting pool water; She remembered that in the next two years, it was Li Chunfeng who crossed her breath every day to relieve her pain; She remembered that when Concubine Xiao Shufei asked for her life for the first time in the palace, it was Li Chunfeng who rushed to save her; She remembered that when she was asked for her life for the second time on the way to worship Zhaoling, it was he who strangled the galloping carriage.
She remembered that he carried her, who had been drawn by Fujikazuto, to the hot springs of the palace, where she was greeted with her Aoi water; She remembered that in Luoyang, the eastern capital, when Fuji and people wanted to kill her, it was he who desperately stood in front of him and was pierced through his internal organs, and his life hung by a thread; She also remembered how she accompanied him through the madness, and how she communicated with him and blended with him......
Oh, yes...... It was a beautiful time, but it was so short. Immediately afterwards, he completely broke with the defenders of Chang'an for his sake, and did not hesitate to personally confront his former good brother and former holy lord. In the end, what she got in exchange was her safety and sound, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.
And after going through so many things, she still doesn't know him well enough and doesn't trust him enough! Otherwise, how could he not see that he was controlled by evil magic? Why would he be stupid to think that he was old and delirious. In this way, the most difficult moment of reunion was wasted.
If she knew that it was a farewell, even if he hit her in the face, she would still rush over and hug him, and tell him in his ear over and over again that she loved him, and that she would love him before, now, and in the future, for the rest of her life!
Ah Ying ...... The howling of the north wind was like a call from Li Chunfeng.
She felt her heart beat slowly, and the white fire tried to burst out to dispel her cold. She gritted her teeth and suppressed the white fire with her most sane mind. She didn't want to live anymore. What is the point of living in this strange, lonely, dangerous and evil world? Her light and heat are gone, so isn't it the best thing to freeze to death in this icy and snowy place?
She felt a trace of warmth running across her cheeks, like Li Chunfeng's gentle hand. She closed her eyes, took off the ring on her left ring finger with difficulty, and said in the direction of the tombstone, "Chunfeng." You put the ring away. Wait...... In the next life, you marry me again. ”
With that, she let go of her hand and let the ring smash into the snow with her hand.
In a trance, it seemed that Li Chunfeng hugged her tightly from behind.
He whispered in her ear, telling of love and the sadness of parting. He said, "Don't call me grandpa, call me master." ”
He said, "Ladies don't be greedy. ”
He said, "No, you saved me." ”
He said, "You're too young to understand. ”
He said, "Ah Ying, I love you. ”
He said, "Will you be my wife?" ”
Willing...... Tears flowed from the corners of Tang Ying's eyes, and instantly formed crystal ice crystals.
Inside the Li ancestral hall.
When Ming Chongyan took Li Chunfeng's relics, his heart was half cold. Because if it was Bai Zetu, he wouldn't be able to get close at all. But now that he took it so easily, it means that his fantasy has been disappointed again.
In full view, he didn't show his chagrin. I had to hold this soft cloth bag and walk out of the ancestral hall to find Tang Ying. Fortunately, this is not Bai Zetu, otherwise, God knows if he will get carried away with excitement, and his whole mind is on Bai Zetu, ignoring Tang Ying's existence.
It was precisely because he came out at this time that Tang Ying was saved from the fate of being frozen to death.
When he saw Tang Ying lying in front of the grave from a distance, she still had one breath left. He didn't think anything for a while, instinctively flew over, turned her over and hugged her in his arms. Originally, she wanted to get through her meridians by luck, but her white fire was the nemesis of her own dead energy, and this method didn't work at all.
Luckily, he had the package he had just taken, just enough to unfold and cover his body to ward off the cold. The package unfolded, revealing a shocking shade of red. It turned out to be a set of exquisite embroidery phoenix crowns, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart when he saw it.
Covered by Tang Ying, she is like a beautiful bride asleep. This red dress was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen, and it complimented her beauty more than anything he had ever seen.
But Tang Ying was still bloodless and couldn't wake up. He was a little anxious and slapped her face while calling her name loudly. She heard it, but she didn't have the strength or the strength to open her eyes. She insisted on letting herself die and chasing in the footsteps of Li Chunfeng.
Ming Chongyan really had no choice, and at the risk of revealing his identity, he took out a silver needle and stabbed it in the middle of her head. The dead qi followed the silver needle and descended, and the white fire resisted the general fierce trigger, and it only ran to Tang Ying's whole body in an instant, dispelling all the cold qi.
Not long after, Tang Ying slowly woke up with a muffled snort. She was stunned for a long time when she saw the red wedding dress she was wearing. At first, she thought that God had finally heard her wish and asked Li Chunfeng to marry her in another world.
But when she clearly recognized Ming Chongyan, she realized that everything just now was an illusion. This wedding dress, Li Chunfeng will never see her put it on. She covered her eyes with her hands and began to cry hoarsely. Ming Chongyan had no choice but to support her and let her vent happily.
A reflection shot into Tang Ying's eyes, and the light just came in through the gap between her left fingers, but not in her right hand. She slowly pulled her hands away, allowing them to become clear in her field of vision.
I saw that on the ring finger of her left hand, she carried the gilt ring engraved with "Xun" that Li Chunfeng gave her that she had just thrown away!
