[One hundred and eighty-six] suddenly saw the lights dim
One night was warm, and when they woke up the next day, it was noon, but neither of them had any intention of getting up and freshening up. simply lay down and chatted a few words, and each other couldn't help but feel that this was the life that ordinary people were pursuing.
Don't worry too much, it's enough to have clothing, food, and a place to sleep.
But once you wake up and look at the world with the weight on your shoulders, all the simple ideas seem so naΓ―ve, even ridiculous.
Murong Ziying was close to him, close enough to feel his every breath. In the absence of light and candles, she could also sense that he was looking at her, so she chuckled and reached out to touch his face. When her fingers touched the strand of sideburns that hung down to the tip of her nose, she quietly picked half of it, then changed her mind and wrapped it around her fingertips.
"It's the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, where do you want to go to enjoy the lanterns?" Murong Ziying asked, and then took her hand.
Liu Mengli thought for a moment and said slowly: "The world is so big, how many places to enjoy the lanterns...... When asked for a while, Li'er really couldn't answer. I haven't been to the human world for too long, and I always feel that everything is good, not to mention that with you, Li'er doesn't matter. β
Murong Ziying chuckled and said, "How about combining the lanterns with the second thing you want to do?" β
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two had already arrived in Songke Town.
It is the name of Songke Town that originates from the dense mountains and forests outside the town, and is dominated by pines and cypresses, and is born by staggering. One year, due to the dry weather, it did not rain for a long time, and the mountain forest suddenly broke out again, and the water cups and water trucks sent by the people in the town to extinguish the fire were of no use. As the fire spread to the edge of the town, an old man in green coughed and walked out of the fire, followed by another old man in white who also left the fire. In the incredible expressions on everyone's faces, the old man in white said: "You are a guest, and you only arrived later, so don't rob me this time!" β
The old man in green smacked on the ground and said, "There are those who are rushing to survive, but I haven't seen anyone rushing to die!" Old fellow, your cultivation is higher than mine, it's a pity that you die, it's better for me to go! β
The old man in white was even more disdainful: "I've lived to this age, and it's useless to cultivate, so I'll go!" As he spoke, he pushed away the old man in green and rushed into the fire again. Seeing that the old man in green was about to fall to the ground, several townspeople immediately rushed to help.
"Alas, really!" The old man in green shook his sleeves, "The old guy wants to die, it's not so easy!" I can trick you out, how can I let you in again! With that, he rushed in.
The townsfolk looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Later, the fire was inexplicably and suddenly extinguished, and the townspeople who were at the fire site that night all had a dream. In the dream, the old man in white said that he was a cypress spirit, and he wanted to give up his spirit to extinguish the fire, but he knew that he was old and inflexible, so he still let the pine spirit, a guest who stayed later, put out the fire first. He had no face to stay in this place, and he was leaving, wanting everyone to think about the good of the pine tree spirit.
The next day, everyone told the mayor about the dream, and the mayor changed the name of the town.
Liu Mengli couldn't believe it when he found out that Chongli had brought Liuli to Songke Town to cultivate, after all, cultivation needed Zhong Lingyuxiu's place to promote cultivation, and there was not even a spirit here, and even after that fire, the mountains and forests outside the town were sparse, full of crooked miscellaneous trees. It was really difficult for him to have any good results from cultivating in such a place.
However, Murong Ziying had other ideas, he said: "The first time I saw Chongli was at the edge of the desert, and the desert environment was already worse than here, but their clan could survive. Therefore, although we feel that this place is so desolate and has no aura, it may be the most suitable place to cultivate in terms of re-leaving. β
Liu Mengli nodded and didn't say anything more.
Songke Town is not big, less than half of it compared to Pingwei Town, so it didn't take much time for the two to complete the whole journey. At this time, the lanterns are on, and because of the approaching Midyear Festival, there are many places where unique lanterns are hung.
Liu Mengli still remembered the lantern riddles that the two of them guessed in Pingwei Town last time, and because they solved the lantern riddles, they inexplicably walked a love bridge, and immediately raised their sleeves to cover their lips and smiled.
At that time, although she was fetters and even felt that she was dead, she was really happy.
Who would have predicted what would happen next?
Thinking of this, Liu Mengli's mood suddenly improved, and she tugged at Murong Ziying's sleeve and said, "Xiaoli will definitely not live in the town, why don't we find a place to live first, and then go for a walk outside the town?" β
Murong Ziying nodded and said, "That's fine, you just decided to do it right away, and if you are already here, I will let you wait for a night, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait." β
"Poof......" Liu Mengli covered her lips and smiled, "When did Li'er become such an impulsive person?" β
"After coming back from the Illusory Eye Realm this time, everything you did was like counting the time...... "Murong Ziying sighed, "I think, this is probably the habit you have cultivated in the Illusory Eye Realm." He excused her like this, but he clearly didn't believe it.
Liu Mengli didn't say anything more and walked a few steps around him.
"......" Murong Ziying shook her head silently, no matter what he said now, it would touch on the places she didn't want to be mentioned.
The inn was not far ahead, Liu Mengli went in first, but when she wanted to pay the deposit, she found that she had not entered the human world for a long time, and she no longer had the habit of carrying a money bag with her, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed.
The boss seemed to be very tired after a busy day, and when he saw that she wanted to stay in the guest house without money, he was immediately unhappy and said: "Yo, the current eldest lady doesn't bring money when she goes out, and she wants to eat and live casually?" Sorry, this isn't your shop. β
"Shut up." Murong Ziying just heard this, took a few steps in, took out the silver from his waist and slapped it on the table in front of the boss, "That's not how business works." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, yes, yes. Seeing his awe-inspiring momentum, the boss suddenly stopped his arrogance, and took the silver with a smile.
After finding a place to stay, the two returned to the street as planned. People in the town are always used to going to bed early, and the streets are now very quiet, and occasionally two or three people pass by, but they are also going home or sleeping.
Liu Mengli saw that the lights around were all hanging in front of the townspeople's homes, and she didn't want to go back to the inn to ask for a lantern, so she contained a spiritual fire in her hand, held it in her palm, and walked slowly with Murong Ziying.
The town is a little cold at night, and even the wind howling in the unpopular places is a little colder than in other places. Before leaving the town, Liu Mengli's body trembled, and she subconsciously rubbed her arms.
"Strange ......" Liu Mengli looked at Murong Ziying in surprise, "It's cold here, I'm ...... I can't seem to resist it. β
In the past, whether she went to the bottom of the sea or the iceberg and snow valley, she was able to maintain her normal body temperature as soon as she used the demonic power in her body, so she never felt uncomfortable. This time, for some reason, the cold wind was not only biting, but also a little cone-hearted.
"There is a fairy spirit." Murong Ziying took Liu Mengli and filtered away some of the chill for her, "Let's go back to the inn first, it doesn't seem to be as ordinary as we thought." β
But he heard a chuckle behind him: "Of course it's not ordinary, at night here will be shrouded in pure yang immortal qi, Sister Li, your body is full of feminine and demonic energy, even if there is an imperial jade, you can't resist it." β
