[7] Decision
It's back to the Misty Garden.
Liu Mengli stood quietly in the brocade pavilion, her fingertips brushing the ink lines in her palm again and again, and her heart was heavy.
Before I knew it, five days had passed.
Five days ago, when she just returned, Han Lingsha appeared anxiously and said: "Good Mengli, there have been some troubles in the ghost world recently, so I won't come for the time being~" disappeared. A sentence without a head and tail made her not worried.
Everything.
A ring of purple light loomed above her, and it had been floating for five days. Sleepless nights, tireless days. Liu Mengli took a deep breath, raised her hand to stroke her hair, and said helplessly: "Come down." ”
The purple light gradually outlined, and the dark red and black intertwined large clouds slowly peeled off from the light. The silver hair was scattered, but Yingting's face was expressionless, only a pair of deep eyes, which were worried and undulating. It wasn't until he landed firmly behind her that he finally opened his mouth to her: "Palace Master." ”
Liu Mengli turned around and brushed her clothes, and said unhappily: "Didn't you say don't come to the human world!" ”
"Palace Master, this is not you." Xi Zhong said calmly, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
The bond will erode the consciousness, and the consciousness of the strong will gradually inject into the mind of the weak, and then control it. Liu Mengli also knew this when she was flipping through the ancient scrolls, and now when she heard Xi Zhong's words, she immediately took a deep breath to calm her mind.
But when she returned to normal, she almost collapsed, leaned and fell to the ground.
Fragility turned into tears in an instant, but it was trapped in the eyes. She barely supported herself, but she had no intention of getting up at all, just staring at the peach blossoms in the corner of the wall, speechless for a long time. "Palace Master!" Xi Zhong took a step forward and bent down to help her up. The moment her hand touched her body, she turned sideways to avoid it.
"Leave me alone...... she screamed, and her eyes closed slightly, and tears instantly smashed on the ground, shattering into pieces.
Xi Zhong, who had never seen her like this, was startled, thinking that she was possessed. But when she felt it carefully, she found that a trace of spiritual power was overflowing from her body.
"Li'er, stop! This kind of self-depletion of spiritual power will only speed up—"
"Speed up my death." Liu Mengli smiled gloomily, still closing her eyes, "If you abolish the spiritual power, Mohu won't find Li'er so easily." Naturally, it will not be attached to the body. Coughing slightly, "Let's let Li'er lie down...... In this way, it will be a little more comfortable......"
Xi Zhong stood on the side, trying to stop it, but he couldn't do anything. After being silent for a long time, he thought of something and said in a low voice: "You promised us that the purpose of coming to the human world is to find the ink fox. Could it be that you are going to go back on your word now? ”
Liu Mengli heard the lack of confidence in his words, smiled bitterly, and replied: "Li'er has never had that mind, and when she said that, she just wanted to leave Huanxi Tomb, how can you not know." Then he bowed his head, reluctantly sat up, and clasped his ten fingers into his palm, "Li'er has made up her mind, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for in this world...... He, they're all ...... Anyway, after I die, I hope that my eldest brother will send Li'er's body back to Qingluan Peak and be buried next to Han Lingsha's tomb. ”
The air was dead again.
Xi Zhong looked at her silently, and only shuddered at her words.
After a hundred years of companionship, in exchange for the title of a brother and sister, he felt ridiculous, but there was a trace of satisfaction in the ridiculousness.
When Chanyou entrusted Liu Mengli to him half, he agreed to obey the order. As everyone knows, in the past hundred years, feelings will breed, and I don't know that this kind of feelings will become more and more difficult for me to let go. He had long planned to leave the Illusionary Realm, even though he knew that there would always be only one person in her heart, but he was still willing to stay for her and do what she asked him to do - as long as she was good, it was nothing about herself. But now, in the face of her last word, he didn't know how to respond.
"No...... Don't be buried in Qingluan Peak! Liu Mengli suddenly spoke in an impassioned tone, "Don't let him know...... I'd better go back to the Phantom Creek Mausoleum. ”
Seeing that her consciousness was becoming more and more confused, Xi Zhong pursed his lips and half-leaned down at her side, took out a white pill bottle from his clothes, pulled out the silk stopper, and poured out a Chu Se pill from his palm: "Eat it." Bring the pill in front of her. Liu Mengli hesitated for a moment, reached out and took it and put it in her mouth. Xi Zhong smiled reluctantly, re-plugged the bottle and sent the entire bottle forward: "You have to put away this bottle, the pills in it have the effect of temporarily clearing your mind and calming your mind...... However, it also had a certain effect at first. Xi Zhong said as he helped her up. Liu Mengli was stunned, and then said "um" with relief, and replied: "The things in front of me are emerging step by step, and as for what is behind you, no one knows." ”
Xi Zhong, who heard the voiceover, looked at her in surprise and said, "You still want to stay in the world?" ”
Liu Mengli bowed her head lightly and replied, "I know that the eldest brother is for Li'er's good." And this time...... I think my eldest brother also understands in his heart that my time is short, so I ...... ""No!" I also hope that the palace master will think twice! ”
Xi Zhong, who has always been obedient, objected unusually firmly this time, Liu Mengli was stunned, and he was also stunned, neither of them expected such a reaction. Seeing Liu Mengli looking at him, he lowered his head slightly, and continued in a calm tone: "This time, the fact that letting the palace master leave the Illusion Palace so that the ink fox can take advantage of it and seize some spiritual power from the palace master is not right. This time, when the subordinates came, they must bring the palace master back! The palace master alone can't resist the ink fox, and everyone should do their best for the palace master! ”
Liu Mengli shook her head and said with a light smile: "Yes......"
Asked lightly, the cool tone made the somewhat tense atmosphere a little more relaxed. Liu Mengli turned around and turned her back to Xi Zhong, but said more lightly: "You and I both know in our hearts that the Mohu Dao has been practiced for thousands of years, how can you and I be able to compete?" Besides, I've already thought about it, so why involve too many innocent lives. Another flick of his hair, as if whispering, "It covets my hundred years of spiritual power to possess me?" That's too far-fetched...... There must be another reason. ”
Xi Zhong silently looked at her back, listening to her whispering, but his thoughts drifted back and forth several times. He thought too much, wanted to follow her, but was afraid that she would be hurt; I want to bring her back and keep her by my side to protect her, but I'm afraid that she will be unhappy. Taking a deep breath and about to speak, Liu Mengli suddenly turned around and said, "My life, looking at the demon world, is indeed short. One hundred and nineteen years of life, I was really happy to say it, but it was when I was Liu Mengli in the human world. He lowered his head and stroked the ink lines, "There is still some time left, let Li'er live again this time, live ...... Take it easy and don't worry about anything else. ”
Xi Zhong nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and saw that her face was pale, and he couldn't bear to worry and asked: "Your spiritual power has been half gone, and the little monster is naturally not enough to be afraid, but ......" Liu Mengli shook his head and interrupted him: "Li'er is safe in Liufu." Speaking of this, he suddenly saw a bright light passing through the sky, as if Murong Ziying was walking with a sword. Liu Mengli's heart tightened, remembering that day when she said goodbye, she selfishly threw all the qiē that Han Lingsha told Murong Ziying, and now she can't help but feel uncomfortable.
Do you really want to put him at risk alone?
A voice in the deepest part of my heart asked myself. Liu Mengli was excited, so she raised her hand to summon Si You, and said to Xi Zhong: "I have a friend who is in Beihu, and I must go too." ”
At this time, Xi Zhong didn't want to obstruct too much, and when he heard her say this, he raised his sleeves and waved his sleeves by the way: "I'll send you." ”
