The autumn wind blows, knows the fallen leaves, several times of sorrow in the courtyard of the sycamore, lovesickness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The wild goose flies south, and when it returns, it hangs on the southeast branch, and it is difficult to send.
In the courtyard of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Xi Tongmeng stood under the plane tree, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his face was lonely and sad. She rubbed the jade in her hand and thought about what to carve.
"Mr. Zhi, this piece of yellow and white old jade is a rare high-grade in recent years, what do you think is suitable for?" There was no one around her, and she looked like she was talking to herself.
"Mr. Fang sent Puyu again?" The man's voice was warm and ethereal.
"yes, every year."
"Mr. Fang treats you very well."
"But I hope he can come and accompany me, after all, it's my birthday."
"Mr. Fang is busy with affairs, and Miss Dream should be considerate."
"He set my birthday for me, and he made a promise to accompany me every year. The result is because ...... He can betray even his promises, and he will do everything possible to avoid me. Did I really do it wrong? Am I being too greedy? Shouldn't I have fallen in love with him from the beginning, shouldn't have had the luxury of ......?"
"Dream Girl ......"
"That's it, just give this jade to Mr. Zhi, whatever you want."
She stretched out her hand and placed Puyu on the bell on the other side, and with a crisp "dingbell" sound, Puyu was sent into the other world and disappeared in this life.
"Why should Dream Girl be angry, Zhiting will definitely carve this jade well, and she will not disappoint Mr. Fang."
"No need!"
There was no response from the other side of the bell, and it seemed that Zhiting had cut off contact before she could shout this sentence.
"Old stubborn." She looked at the bell on the other side and couldn't help but shake her head.
If you have an old confidante who is still an artist, then you have to be careful. They usually don't know how to listen to the words, they always make their own decisions, and they are stubborn to death. Whenever there is something, he likes to hide and hide, so that you can't find him, especially those "dead people" in this life, relying on the "living" in this life It is difficult to enter, and it is even more unscrupulous.
Speaking of the other world, it is very different from the underworld as understood by ordinary people. It is not a place of refuge for the souls of the deceased, but a world of elves and monsters, parallel to the world in which humans live. Few human souls can go to the other world in their entirety, most of them are remnant souls, they will be eaten, and very few can stay in the "other world". Zhiting met by chance after Xitong dreamed of cultivating the other side of the bell, when he was almost eaten by the spirit, and she saved him. Both of them love jade, and their intersections are getting deeper.
Zhiting once asked her why she saved him, and she said that it was because he was the first "person" she knew in that life, but in fact, there was a more important point she didn't tell him: he reminded her of her childhood self, and she inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy.
Autumn 1990, Laoshan.
Decent people have been chasing the remnants of the Demon Sect for more than half a year, and several waves of forces often fight, so the sacrifice continues.
Fang Jie led a few capable subordinates to track Yuan Xiu all the way to Laoshan Mountain, and beat him to the bottom of the cliff before entering the mountain, but his body was not found. The Baisha River not only buried the traces of the other party, but even the breath was difficult to distinguish, and he went all the way downstream, hoping to find the other party.
Life in the mountains and forests is hard, and his subordinates have complained. He can still suppress it for a day or two at most, and then someone will inevitably offer to evacuate. In fact, they only had enough food to last for two days.
Is it really time to give up?
He couldn't help but think so, unwilling to come to his heart. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to get rid of Yuan Xiu. The eldest brother's plan will also fall short, and then he will have to return to the Sky Pavilion to redeploy, and the war will drag on and on, and I don't know how long it will take to achieve real peace.
"Gone!" He beckoned to his subordinates, "Everyone hold on a little longer, survive these few days, and go back to eat and drink, I please!" ”
"Thank you, High Priest!"
The low morale was somewhat restored by this promise, and everyone dragged their tired bodies and continued to walk down the river.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, it was getting dark, and he ordered a rest, counted the amount of food, and filled the kettle with water. Several people fell crookedly in the woods, chasing after them non-stop for several days, and they did not dare to stop and practice the exercises. He can only recover by sleeping time, but he can't catch up with the consumption, his physical strength and strength have reached a critical value, even he is about to be unable to support it, it seems that he must return tomorrow.
The next morning, he woke up stunned by what he saw. His men were lying in a pool of blood, and it seemed that someone had taken advantage of their unpreparedness to carry out a surprise attack last night.
He carefully examined the corpses, and each of them had a carotid artery that had been cut, killing him with a single blow. The technique is clean and neat, and it is the work of a master. If you can hide it from him and kill them before your elite subordinates find out, I'm afraid that only a higher-level Onmyoji can do it, at least at the same level as himself. Who the hell is it? Why did he survive?
Puzzled, he sacrificed the Cave Light Ring and put the body into the sapphire.
