Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rebirth
This was the third day that Qi Yan had left the cell, but he only stayed in the side hall of the Sun Chasing Palace, neither going out nor saying a word, looking at the moon outside the window all day long, and seeing Hai Shi from Yin Shi all day long.
"Why, aren't you going out and have a look?"
He glanced at the candle that had entered the door, but still didn't respond.
"It took so much effort and human life to let you out, and you plan to sit here like this?" The woman sat down beside Qi Yan, patted his head very caress and said, "Don't be afraid, here is your master and me." ”
Scared? Qi Yan's eyes finally had a trace of waves, he was indeed afraid, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the way others looked at him, as if he was looking at a monster. Therefore, Qi Yan didn't dare to go out, and he didn't know how to get along with people and talk to people, as if everything outside the cell made him panic.
"I just...... I want to see Master. ”
"Are you waiting for him?"
"Hmm. ”
After understanding what this man meant, he said, "If you don't see the phoenix extinguished, this place is no different from that cell, right?"
Qi Yan nodded. Seeing his expression, the candle dipping party remembered Cangming's words, it seems that it is true, and from now on, this person is only attached to the skin of the phoenix.
"But Shizun is a living immortal god in the world, he has a great responsibility on his shoulders, and he also has his own mission and world, and there may not be you in every corner of this world. ”
Qi Yan's brows furrowed, as if he understood a little.
"So you should have a world like this, and don't let yourself be bothered by the Venerable. ”
"Haunting ......"
"Let's go, I'll take you out!"
"Eh, I-"
Before he could finish speaking, the moonlight outside pierced his eyes, Qi Yan instinctively closed his eyes, but he still felt the fine and cool light.
"Master, Qi Yan?"
Hearing this call, they saw the oncoming Su Lingxi.
After seeing the candle dipping, Su Lingxi hooked Qi Yan's shoulder on tiptoe, and said happily: "How does it feel to come out?"
Qi Yan wanted to break free of the man's hand, but Su Lingxi clamped him tightly, and almost his entire body leaned up, so he had to give up and replied: "Don't touch me." ”
"Okay, I won't touch you, I'll just follow you. ”
"I don't need anyone to follow. ”
Su Lingxi shook his head, his nature really hasn't changed.
"Lingxi, don't make a fuss. ”
After Su Lingxi let go, Qi Yan asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"I am Su Lingxi, a disciple of the Great Candle Immersion Sect. ”
"In vain?"
"Yes, it's like you're a disciple of Lord Shizun. ”
Seeing the eyes of the candle dipping envoy, Su Lingxi leaned over again and said, "We used to be good friends, why did you forget?"
"Friend?" Qi Yan glanced at her suspiciously, "You, and me?"
"Of course, Ah Yan and I have also traveled to thousands of mountains and rivers and seen great mountains and rivers. ”
Hearing this, Qi Yan suddenly became agitated, he grabbed Su Lingxi's hand and twisted the person away from his side, and roared angrily: "You are not allowed to call me Ah Yan!"
"Pain, pain, pain, what's the matter with you, why are you suddenly angry?"
"Qi Yan," the dipping candle standing in place leaned into the man's ear and whispered, "Do you remember what your master told you? If you want to stay with him, you have to learn how to do it first?"
By the way, you must first learn to be a 'human'.
"If it's a human being, there's a friend. ”
Friends?
Glancing at Su Lingxi again, Qi Yan had no choice but to respond: "I understand." ”
"Lingxi, you take him to Qihuang City to have a look, and he is not allowed to come back until dawn. ”
This is in the heart of Su Lingxi, now that it is close to the New Year's Festival, it is rare for the city to cancel the curfew, tonight must be very lively, she has been busy in Mirage City for so long, she has wanted to go out for a walk, and now she can bring Qi Yan, the former 'Sword Elder', this is really a wonderful thing, a happy thing.
The street is very lively, a hundred operas and dances are staged everywhere, even the corridor of the Gefang teahouse is full of entertainers performing acrobatics, some play shadow puppets and some play a hundred operas, all kinds of acrobatic thaumaturgy are staged one after another, attracting onlookers to applaud again and again. At this time, sitting in the city tower and looking at the crowd below, Qi Yan felt that it was not a bad thing to be here.
"You really don't remember anything from the past?"
"I don't remember. ”
"Then do you remember Ruan Feiyan?"
"I don't remember," Qi Yan bowed, and there was a repulsive indifference in his tone: "You and I used to be friends?
"Because I like to be friends with weirdos, can't I?"
"I used to be weirdos too?"
"Don't say these weird things, such a beautiful day, how can you not have a drink, come on, let's drink!"
Qi Yan had never drunk alcohol, but Dipping Candle had mentioned this thing many times, saying that she and the old man had drunk each other in the Sun Chasing Hall until late at night. Since I like to soak candles so much, then 'wine' must also be a good thing. Qi Yan pursed his lips, this thing has an indescribable spicy feeling in his mouth, and the taste is much better than those meals, and it will not be tasteless. Therefore, Qi Yan drank one cup after another, unlike Su Lingxi, he just sat there and simply drank.
"I want to know, why the hell do you like Phoenix so much?"
"He is my master. ”
"I know he's your master, but not every apprentice likes his master. Su Lingxi hiccuped, and her face was flushed, obviously drunk.
"Oh?" Qi Yan was a little interested, and asked, "Why?
"I have been afraid of Master since I was a child, and I have been 'respecting' and 'respecting' to Master, but I really can't talk about the word 'like'. ”
Qi Yan sat on the battlements, his eyes a little wandering and looking at the lights in the city.
"Is the Great Sect Sacrifice bad for you?"
"Is it good for you?"
Qi Yan smiled for a while, and said with great satisfaction: "Master, he is the best person in the world to treat me, besides, I can think of what Master thinks, I can feel what Master feels, as long as Master is here, I Qi Yan is not alone." ”
By the way, she also has Ruan Feiyan's sister now, Zixi and Qi Yan were taking care of that person in the past few decades, so let's be myself now.
Seeing that Su Lingxi didn't answer, Qi Yan asked again: "Isn't your master the best person for you in this world?"
The best person in the world for her suddenly appeared in Su Lingxi's mind the shadow of Meng Qingque, and she didn't know where that person was or what he was doing.
"A person like me doesn't deserve anyone to be nice to me. ”
Qi Yan drank the wine in his cup, not knowing how to answer.
"I heard you like Su Jue. ”
Su Lingxi smiled, "You look cold, but you know a lot, but my liking for Su Jue is not the same as your liking for your master." ”
"What is the difference between liking and liking?"
"I used to have a love for Su Jue between men and women, but you are different from Shizun, you have already blended into each other and turned into one, the love between men and women will change, but you will not change to Shizun. ”
"It's a pity that Master really doesn't want to see me. ”
"How did you know that the Lord didn't want to see you?"
"If you want to see it, why didn't he show me when I finally came out of that prison! Is it because I'm not a 'human' but a monster?"
"Don't worry, even if everyone in this world will look at you with strange eyes, you will never care about the eyes of the world anyway. ”
Qi Yan took another sip of wine and felt a little calmer.
"The World Venerable is just worried about the people of the world, it seems that I am afraid that the meeting will bother you. ”
By the way, he has always felt that Huang Xuan has hidden difficult things in his heart, but he doesn't want to say it after asking a few times.
"What worries Master?"
Su Lingxi's eyes narrowed, "He wants to find Luo Tu Luoshu." ”
"What's that?"
"They are sacred objects left by the gods a long time ago, and the World-Honored One has been looking for them for a long time. ”
Qi Yan immediately responded, "I'll help Master find it." ”
"This is a very dangerous thing, just leave it to me to do, lest you get hurt and make the Lord of the World Honored sad. ”
"This is Master's wish, how can I let you go alone?
Su Lingxi wanted to say it, but considering that this beautiful day was not the right time, he responded: "I have already checked, and I will tell you when there is news." ”
After speaking, Su Lingxi fell beside him, and Qi Yan stared at this person's sleeping appearance for a while.
Could it be that this is the 'person' that Huang Xuan said? That is really far from Su Lingxi. He closed his eyes, as if he was feeling the gentle evening breeze around him, and the sound of joy in his ears became more and more intense, but Qi Yan's heart was extremely quiet, as if it did not exist in this space at all. As soon as his hand loosened, the glass slipped, and he fell asleep on the ruined wall.
When he came back on the second day, Su Lingxi and Qi Yan were both full of alcohol, Qi Yan was no longer so repulsive to Su Lingxi, it seemed that this person was doing well. Qi Yan who woke up from the nightmare pool is a blank piece of paper, although he is still cold, but his heart has become no different from a child, at this time, as long as he gains Qi Yan's trust, it will be a long-term thing. As for Qi Yan, as long as everything has something to do with the annihilation of the phoenix, he will treat it with integrity, and this chess piece is really easier to control than before. But what really worries Dipping Candle is the five ministers of Fuxi who served Qi Yan, now that Qi Yan has almost recovered, those four people should have woken up, if they are talking nonsense in Qi Yan's ear, it is difficult to guarantee that that person will not have other thoughts.
But the five ministers of Fuxi are people in the virtual realm, what is the way to get rid of them? As long as they hide in the virtual realm and don't come out, neither he nor Cangming can do anything about them.
The five ministers of Fuxi, the tomb of Emperor Yan, maybe there is a way to deal with them in that desolate land, since these ghosts and gods are from the desolate, can't they be sealed back to the desolate? Or can she take them for her own use?
