Chapter 20: A Painful Choice

Since that incident, Zhiyan no longer dares to run around, and stays in the room honestly every day, either to take care of Tianmo, or to stay in the room honestly to Le'er, and to meditate on the mark of the blue flowers on his palms. What happened that night, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream, she couldn't tell whether it was real or illusory. She also wanted to look for the house she had been to that night, but because she had fled in a panic that night, she could no longer remember where it was, and she walked around for a long time without thinking.

Under the treatment of Mo Qi and Xiao Xiao, Tianmo was completely well, and the arm bitten by the wolf demon also grew new flesh, and there was no trace of injury.

"Thank you Senior Brother Mo Qi and Senior Sister Xiao Xiao for your help, Zhiyan, let's go see Uncle Xiao and see if he has any other ways to help you and Le'er."

"Thank you so much for helping me so much."

Before, Zhiyan felt that there was only Ze Ran in her world, thinking that he was all she had, and then she gradually got to know Le'er, Shen Yuqing, Liu Biwu, Tianmo, Mo Qi...... She realized that her world was not so lonely, and her heart was warmed by more and more people, so that she no longer felt cold and lonely.

Following Tianmo to the man's residence, Zhiyan only felt that the scene around him was familiar, as if he had been here.

"Uncle Junior, my nephew's injuries have healed, and I brought a friend to visit Uncle Shi today." Tianmo stopped in front of the room and saluted respectfully.

"Come in."

The voice...... Zhiyan's heart stopped beating, and he grabbed his cuffs nervously, this voice was very similar to the man that night.

Zhiyan walked into the room nervously and excitedly, and although he was ready, he was still taken aback. Inside the room sat a man dressed in white, his eyes as dark and deep as the night sky, and his skin was white and bloodless. He looked at a few people and smiled slightly, his smile as beautiful and bright as moonlight.

"Uncle Junior, I've come to see you." Tianmo walked in and said hello happily, it seems that the relationship between the two is very good.

"Tianmo, it seems that you have recovered well, thanks to you two friends of Dust Moon Valley. This girl is ......"

Tianmo looked up at Uncle Xiao and smiled slightly, "This is Zhiyan, we met on the way back to Lingyang Palace." ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm leaving in the next night." He smiled friendlyly, but when his eyes swept over everyone, he paused slightly, and the light in his eyes was unpredictable, "You came to see me today, I'm afraid there is something else." ”

Tianmo smiled embarrassedly, a little blush appeared on his face, "I really have something to ask Uncle Shi for help this time, I have a friend who is sick and wants to ask Uncle Shi to take a look." ”

"Okay, for the sake of your initial recovery from a serious illness, I'll help you with this."

Zhiyan was overjoyed when he heard Yeli's words, and hurriedly took out Le'er carefully and put it in front of Yeli. Yeli looked at Zhiyan, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face again.

He put his hand on top of Le'er, a faint purple light emitted from his palm, and after a long time, he raised his head and said slowly, "What can the two friends of Dust Moon Valley do?" ”

Mo Qi frowned, and said coldly: "Demon Neidan, ancient treasure." ”

"This is also my method, I wonder if Miss Zhiyan is satisfied?"

"Is there really no other way?"

Looking at Zhiyan's eager expression, Ye Li showed a look of surprise on his face, and shook his head gently, "But I can help you with the demon's Neidan, if you want a thousand years or a hundred years, I will go down the mountain and catch one for you, as for the ancient treasures...... he narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously, "There is a treasure in Lingyang Palace called the Nine Dragons Blood Bead, but it is an ancient treasure." ”

"Where is it?!"

"This thing is in the hands of my head brother Song Lian, the senior brother is very precious, I only saw it once when he succeeded to the throne, can you ask for it, it is your creation."

The treasure is in the hands of the head Song Lian, and he has only seen it once as a junior brother, so it can be seen how precious Song Lian is, will he agree to lend it to them to treat a little demon?

"Night away from the seniors, I have a sacred object in the Dust Moon Valley called the Heart Lamp, you see if it can save Le'er." Mo Qi took a step forward and said expectantly.

"No, the Condensing Lamp is a divine artifact, but it is not an ancient holy artifact, even if it has great spiritual power, it does not have the power to reforge the Inner Dan. Okay, that's all I have to say, you guys also hurry up and don't disturb my rest. ”

In Tianmo's room, several people sat around the table, their expressions were very lost, they thought that there would be hope, but they brought great despair.

"Tianmo, will your head agree to lend us the Nine Dragons Blood Bead?" Xiao Xiao supported her chin with her hand, tilted her head and sighed in distress.

"Uh...... It should be difficult. ”

"So what to do! You can't just watch Le'er die. Xiao Xiao touched Le'er's petals, with a look of regret, "What a beautiful flower~"

Mo Qi pondered for a while, his expression was also a little helpless, "Now we can't see death without help, it seems that we can only steal." ”

"What!" The voices of the three people rang out in the house at the same time, startling the birds in a tree outside.

"Senior brother...... Master said that you can't steal anything. ”

"Senior Brother Mo Qi, the master and the head will kill me."

"Mo Qi, stealing things is going to be caught."

Mo Qi nodded, the expression on his face was still faint, "I know what you said, but now there is no other way but this." And we will return it when we run out, and Lingyang Palace will not lose anything. Such a valuable thing, the head of the family should not check it every day, as long as we can steal it out and put it back unnoticed, it will be fine. Tianmo, what do you think? ”

To complete this matter, Tianmo is undoubtedly a key figure, and only if he agrees, this matter can be carried out smoothly.

Tianmo also fell into a dilemma all of a sudden, on the one hand, he was a teacher who raised him since he was a child and was kind to him, and on the other hand, he was a friend who treated him with all sincerity, and Le'er who had the grace to save his life, the feelings on both sides were equally important, and he really didn't know where to go.

"Brother Tianmo, it's okay, I'm ......"

Zhiyan saw Tianmo's embarrassment, comforted him softly, but was interrupted by him before he finished speaking. Tianmo stood up a little tiredly and smiled weakly, "I need someone to think about it." ”

"I understand you," Mo Qi got up and patted him on the shoulder, a rare smile in his eyes, "We wait for your answer before the sun sets tonight." Xiao Xiao, Zhiyan, let's go. ”

"Wait a minute, Zhiyan, can you leave the fun behind...... I ......" Tianmo lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, he desperately tried to hide his contradictions and anxieties, but the more he covered it up, the more obvious it became.

"Okay." Zhiyan understood what Tianmo was thinking, gently put Le'er down, and left the room with Xiao Xiao and Mo Qi.

Time passed little by little, and the three of them sat in the courtyard, watching the sun gradually set in the west, with anticipation and a little uneasiness in their hearts.

At this time, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Zhiyan raised her head and looked at the small blue-purple flowers blooming from the blue mist tree, which were so beautiful but showed a sad color under the sunset, she thought that it should be the color of the soul when life was about to pass, mournful and poignant, and with the dignity and gorgeous brilliance that life should have when it receded. She had never thought about death before, she had never thought about it in any way. She only knows that death is the fate that all things in the world cannot escape after all, just like Nuwa and Fuxi, who sacrificed themselves to save the common people, just like Yunting who was willing to die under her brother's sword, and now she finally realized how terrible death is and how painful it is. She wants Le'er to live well, and they can go back to Wufu Mountain together, where they can watch the sunrise and sunset with him, and the flowers bloom.

With a squeak, the door of the room was finally opened, and Tianmo walked out of the house with Le'er in his arms, looking tired.

"Zhiyan, Mo Qi, Xiao Xiao...... I'm sorry, but now I'm going to go to Master's ......."
