Chapter 40: One Day in Heaven and Ten Years on Earth
The horse's hooves stepped over the white pebbles of the tidal flats, and then stepped into the meadow in the forest, I held the firefly lamp, which still could not illuminate the thick darkness outside, and said casually, "Your Highness, why do I always think that the night in the mortal world is much longer than in the sky?"
"The Nine Heavens are lonely and high, and they are close to the Golden Crow, so it naturally seems that the days are long and the nights are short. Xuan Cheng replied.
I yawned and asked, "What they usually say about a day in heaven and a year on earth is true?"
"Where did you hear that?" said His Highness's voice with a hint of a smile, "It's obviously one day in heaven and ten years on earth." ”
I yawned halfway, closed my mouth and said solemnly, "Then even if the two of us check Langxuanmu in addition to the goblins who are troublesome, and we have been delaying for a few months, it will not be an hour since we returned to the Nine Heavens?"
"What's wrong?" the man's tone was surprised.
I lowered my head and thought about it, and muttered, "I always feel a little lost, after all, some people are jealous of my trip with His Royal Highness, and they are desperate to stop it, and if they don't spend thousands of eight hundred years in the mortal world, where can they be worthy of her thoughts?"
His Royal Highness said succinctly, "Such a useless mind, don't follow it, you are different from her." ”
I rolled my eyes and quipped, "Your Highness, you underestimate me too much, and I have a lot of thoughts, where do I need to study?"
"Oh?" the man chuckled.
"It's not a day or two that I have sinister intentions towards His Highness, why can't Your Highness see it?" I said in a tone of regret, pretending, with a sense of being let down.
was gently knocked on the head by the man, "Sleep when you are sleepy, don't talk while you are confused." ”
I didn't say yes, and I made up my mind to stare at it, and finally had the opportunity to chat all night, how could it be wasted.
After a few more nonsense words, Xuan Cheng refused to answer no matter what.
I was bored, and I refused to fall asleep, looking at the lantern in front of the horse angrily, and the faint firefly in front of me was bumping with the pace of the white horse, and my vision tended to gradually blur......
The night breeze was not cold, and with the scent of gardenia wafting from nowhere, I became more and more sleepy by the soothing aroma, hung my shoulders and nodded my head a few times, then sat up straight again, and shook my head vigorously.
When they were half asleep, the horses had already walked into a bamboo forest.
The moonlight shone through the branches and leaves, casting on the ground and shaking.
I struggled with sleepiness for a while, and finally I couldn't hold it anymore, and I fell backwards in a daze......
Because Xuancheng was holding the horse behind me, I thought it would fall into his arms...... Who would have thought that it would be empty!
I was so unsteady in my center of gravity that I almost fell off my horse, but in a moment I came to my senses and grabbed the reins.
The spirit horse was stopped by me in a hurry, and was startled!
I wasn't good at riding, and it took me a lot of effort to stabilize the horses that were constantly stomping and neighing......
When I looked back, where was the shadow of Xuancheng behind me?
Didn't he just hug me? Why did he disappear after a while?
There is a night breeze shuttling in the bamboo forest of Nuoda, which is very strange.
I was alone on the horse and didn't dare to move, I just felt cold air coming out of my pores......
What kind of place is this? Why is it so evil?
"Temple...... Your Highness...... "I called tentatively, tears coming out of my eyes," ...... Black... Xuancheng?"
No response.
Just as I was hesitating to stay where I was and wait for him, or to go back to find him, there was a sudden noise from the depths of the bamboo forest......
I grabbed the reins in my hand and listened to them, only to hear two "clangs" sounds......
It seems to be the sound of some kind of guqin......
