148. [148] Shaolin Temple was burned
It was still pitch black all around, and the light around the purple clothes gradually weakened, Duanmu Kaoru relied on his memory, took the purple clothes, and groped for the way he came.
The two walked for nearly half an hour, but they still couldn't see the light.
"Kaoru!" Ziyi took Duanmu Kaoru's hand and stopped in place: "Could this also be an illusion?" ”
As far as she knew, the tree would not be that big.
And two people have walked in the tree for so long and there is no end, then there is only one possibility! They entered the illusion realm, and everything in front of them was fake.
Duanmu Kaoru frowned and clenched the little hand of the purple cloth.
I don't know where a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the scene in front of the two of them suddenly changed.
The darkness faded, and the two of them seemed to be standing somewhere in the woods.
Flowers.
A warm breeze blows across the cheeks.
"Looks like someone wants to let us know something." Putting away the soft sword in his hand, Duanmu Kaoru took Ziyi's hand and continued: "If you come, you will be safe, let's walk around." ”
Ziyi had never seen such a beautiful place.
The blue sky, the green meadows, the gurgling water. The trees in the distance are luxuriant, and the air is faintly scented with flowers.
At the feet, nameless little flowers are blooming, and in the ears, birds are singing along with the stream.
"Where is this?" Ziyi followed Duanmu Kaoru, and the soft ground under her feet gave her the urge to lie down.
"I don't know, there's a house in front of you."
Looking in the direction of Duanmu Kaoru's finger, sure enough, in the distance, there was a small house with smoke curling and blending in with this beautiful scenery.
Fairy tale.
This is the only word that Ziyi imagines in his mind that can describe this situation at this moment.
When the two approached, they found that it was a thatched house, and although the house was simple, the owner's care could be seen everywhere.
Outside the thatched hut, there is a garden, and the garden is planted with roses of various colors. made Ziyi unconsciously think of the harem-
"Your harem is like this garden, where all kinds of flowers are desperately blooming with their own brilliance. For this reason, he did not hesitate to trample on the body of other flowers, and took the nutrients of other flowers, only wishing that all flowers except himself could not see the sun. ”
"Cranky." Duanmu Kaoru smiled bitterly and pulled the purple clothes to push open the door of the thatched house.
The door creaked open, the window in the house was not closed, and a ray of sunlight shone into the house along the window, looking different kind of warmth.
But there was no one in the room.
"Let's get out of here quickly, it always feels weird."
The tranquility and serenity here made Ziyi really nostalgic, and she even thought that it would be better to leave it like this, and the two of them lived in this place from then on, no longer caring about the affairs of the court, and no longer paying attention to the grievances of the rivers and lakes.
And they dwelt in this house, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. It's not a pleasure to have another man and half a woman.
But although such a harmonious scene was constructed in his mind, there was a voice in his heart that struggled again.
Ziyi didn't know what the voice was talking about, but she just felt very uncomfortable.
"Isn't it good to be here?" Duanmu Kaoru smiled at the corner of his mouth, and sat down at the table with his purple clothes: "Let's live here—okay?" Put everything down, never think about it again, and just live here quietly. ”
"Kaoru-" Ziyi bit her lip, and had to admit that this kind of tranquility was very tempting, "but you still have the world, and you still have responsibilities on your shoulders." There were still a lot of people waiting for us outside. ”
"Forget about it, all I need is you." Duanmu Kaoru stood up, walked behind Ziyi, and wrapped his arms around Ziyi's neck from behind: "As long as there is you." ”
"It's so good-" Ziyi closed her eyes, a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, she held Duanmu Kaoru's hand, turned around, gently stood on tiptoe, lips, and dragonflies imprinted Duanmu Kaoru's lips like water, and quickly left: "Kaoru, you are so good like this-it's a pity-"
"What a pity?" Duanmu Kaoru raised his eyebrows slightly, tightly wrapping around Ziyi's waist, not letting her leave his side.
"It's just a pity - it's just my hallucination." Gently pushing the person in front of him away, Ziyi turned around and ran towards the door of the thatched house without hesitation, leaving Duanmu Kaoru's call behind him, his eyes wet with tears.
It turns out that what I have been longing for in my heart is just this kind of life.
The moment Ziyi's feet stepped out of the grass hut, all the surrounding qiqi disappeared, and she returned to the darkness - only on her side, without that familiar figure.
The black slowly receded again, and Purple found that she was wrapped in countless branches and leaves, curled up in the center of them.
Pull out the scimitar at your waist, and with just one force, these branches and leaves will "brush" and fall.
The sunlight shines through the gaps, and the purple clothes can't open their eyes.
In the distance, she saw a man dressed in white, who was constantly overcoming obstacles.
"Kaoru!" Cutting through the last strand of the branches and leaves that were wrapped around his side, the purple clothes rushed towards Duanmu Kaoru.
She saw that a branch was behind Duanmu Kaoru, and the sharp thorns were aimed at Duanmu Kaoru's heart.
"Purple clothes-" Duanmu Kaoru heard the call from behind, cut down the branch in front of him, turned around, and the softness in his arms with strong strength threw him out far away.
And the powerful tree thorn was fiercely inserted into the side of Duanmu Xun and Ziyi.
"Are you alright?" Ziyi raised his head, remembering the scene just now, and was still a little afraid.
If she lingered in that illusion for even a second, she might lose the man in her arms forever.
"It's okay, let's go!" Grabbing Ziyi's hand, Duanmu Kaoru's heart was calm. Seeing more and more branches stabbing towards this side, Duanmu Kaoru picked up the purple clothes, and ran towards the outside quickly with the force under his feet.
It wasn't until they safely joined up with the silver pupils that the two of them had been holding their breath that they slowly spit it out.
And the locust tree also stopped its almost crazy growth.
Ziyi looked at the blue grass lying on the ground, with his eyes closed tightly, dying, and then at the silver pupils with tight lips on the side, and his heart was roughly clear.
"This tree can't stay." Nightfire looked at everyone's expressions, shook his head helplessly, and a red flame flew from his hand towards the locust tree in the distance. The flames touched the tree, and it burst into flames.
The raging fire burned instantly, and soon enveloped the entire locust tree and the entire Shaolin Temple.
"Let's go, there are still people waiting in the palace." Nightfire turned around and looked at the crowd.
Ziyi had just been absorbed too much power by the locust tree, and her purple hair had faded back to jet black, and Duanmu Kaoru was already a little exhausted. The blue grass seemed to have given up the idea of survival, the silver pupils also lowered their heads, and Duanmu Qi had just recovered.
At this time, it seems that he is the only one who is the most energetic.
"What are you going back to do?" Ziyi raised his eyebrows and sat on the ground with Duanmu Xun, if they were in a hurry to go back, it would still be forgivable, but what kind of excitement did this night fire follow?
"Concubine Niangniang, if I say I'll leave now, are you willing?" There was a wicked smile on Yehuo's face, and his long fiery red hair flew in the wind, gradually fading red, and turning black like purple clothes. Only those red eyes remained, with a malicious smile.
Ziyi carefully looked at the night fire and found that this man was also a handsome mess!
Different from Duanmu Kaoru's domineering inner rigidity and outer softness, and different from the demon of silver pupils, the handsomeness of the night fire carries a wild wildness.
"Don't look at me like that, your man is jealous, I'm afraid I'll die!" stretched out his hands at Ziyi, pursed his mouth, and motioned Ziyi to look behind him.
Ziyi obviously felt that the big hands that Duanmu Kaoru was holding her small hands were a little tighter.
"Aifei, am I not beautiful enough - you want to stare at other men like this?" In his ears, there was a slightly threatening accent from Kaoru Duanmu. Ziyi shrunk her neck and took her eyes off Nightfire's body.
"I'm not interested in obscenity—" Sticking out his tongue, Purple said to Duanmu Kaoru in a soothing manner.
"Whore? Why am I a whore?! Nightfire was obviously very dissatisfied with Ziyi's description, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the tip of his nose, and protested loudly: "I have such a handsome face! How could it be a whore! ”
"Then you are in the palace with Nie Wanrou-"
"I was there to cultivate that woman's soul! Damn it! The seedlings that were finally raised were ruined by this guy! Yehuo took out the cloth bag on his body and glared at him viciously: "That Nie Wanrou's natural feminine physique, coupled with a vicious heart and full of resentment, is the best seedling for soul refining." ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, tell us, what is the purpose of Princess Changle!"
Silver Pupil seemed to be in a very bad mood at this time, and she no longer spoke with as much banter as before. He grabbed the collar of the night fire, and his gray eyes flashed with impatience.
"She comes from underground, the deepest and darkest gathering of resentment. Her aim is to plunge the entire Fallen Dynasty into darkness. Blue grass, who had been lying on the ground with her eyes closed, suddenly spoke.
It's just that her eyes are still closed, and her pale face makes people feel a little distressed.
"It was Ling Ziyan who called her out." At the end, Bluegrass added.
"But she's just a child-" Ziyi was still struggling, she could clearly feel the breath of Cao Lanlan from Sisi's body, and she once thought that Sisi had Cao Lanlan's shadow on her body!
How could it be-
How could she be a demon?
"It's just an illusion seen by the naked eye-" Bluegrass's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, "Silver Eyes, I'm sorry-"
"There's no need to apologize to me, I was blind and blind to be deceived, and I can't blame anyone." Silver Pupil pursed her lips, her tone stiff. He stood up, looked at Duanmu Kaoru, and said, "Anyway, let's find a place to rest first." Now like this, even if she finds the princess of Changle, I am afraid that no one is her opponent. ”
Duanmu Kaoru hugged the purple clothes and nodded.
The group supported each other down the mountain, and found an inn at the bottom of the mountain and wrapped it up.
One sleep is a day and a night.
Early the next morning, when Ziyi woke up, the position on his side had cooled down. After a simple freshening up and out of the door, Kaoru Duanmu was sitting at the wooden table downstairs, thinking about something with his head down.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head, looked at Ziyi, and smiled slightly: "Awake?" They haven't gotten up yet. ”
Ziyi shook his head, which was still a little drowsy, and only felt that his body couldn't lift a trace of strength.
Sticking to the railing down the stairs, he sat next to Duanmu Kaoru, and pressed the weight of his whole body on Duanmu Kaoru's body: "I'm still so tired." ”
"Silly girl, why don't you sleep for a while when you're tired? As Silver Pupil said, it's useless for us to be anxious now. What's more, if it is really as he said, then Sisi will gather five people, and now there are only four people, so we still have time. ”
Scraping the tip of the purple clothes's nose, Duanmu Kaoru's eyes rippled with tenderness.
"I can't sleep without you." The purple clothes rubbed on Duanmu Kaoru's chest coquettishly.
I'm used to his arms and his taste, so when I'm alone, I'm unusually lonely.
"Stupid-" Scraping the tip of Ziyi's nose again, Duanmu Kaoru reached out and took Ziyi in his arms.
The faint fragrance of medicine lingered on the tip of his nose, and Ziyi actually felt that the tip of his nose was sour, and his eyes were so wet that he couldn't fight it.
"What's wrong?" Sensing Ziyi's strange appearance, Duanmu Kaoru lowered his head, and his fingertips gently brushed Ziyi's eye sockets, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
"No," Ziyi sniffed, "I just think it's good to have you by your side like this." ”
"Ahh Nightfire yawned and pushed the door open.
The sky outside the inn was very gloomy, and everyone woke up one after another.
Outside, it seemed like there was a downpour right away.
"Ouch, objectivity, are you going out?" The shopkeeper walked in from outside the door, saw a few people, and greeted warmly: "I think a few of you should stay for another day, it will rain this day!" It's really strange - you said that the Shaolin Temple in the back mountain has such a big fire! Tsk, the whole temple burned down! Not a single monk saw it! ”
The shopkeeper muttered, put the things in his hand on the case on the side, and continued: "What do you eat objectively, I'll let the kitchen prepare to go!" ”
"Just prepare some food." Duanmu Kaoru opened his mouth and looked at the purple clothes in his arms.
Ziyi didn't know when he fell asleep again, sighed helplessly, got up and picked up the person in his arms: "I think we'll stay for another night." ”
The shopkeeper quickly prepared the meal, Duanmu Xun went back to the room with Ziyi and did not come out, and the rest of the people were all eating in silence.
"Silver pupils—" After hesitating for a long time, Blue Grass spoke. Pursing her lips, she carefully paid attention to the expression of the silver pupil.
"Huh?" Silver Pupil responded, Lan Cao saw that Silver Pupil no longer seemed to be as angry as yesterday, and sighed slightly in her heart, and continued: "I-Do I still have a chance?" ”
"What?"
"I know that I have deceived you, hurt you, and hurt a lot of innocent people - and I know that no amount of explanation can hide these facts. It's just-I want you to give me a chance to re--re-"
"Re-what?"
"Stay with you again."
