Chapter Thirty-Eight: Return to the Hou Gate
Ye Luwu didn't sleep peacefully this night, she floated and sank in the layers of dreams, as if all the memories since birth had been pulled out of the depths of her mind, like an endless picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of her eyes, every minute and second was so clear and long.
She seemed to have been dreaming for more than ten years, and then suddenly a beautiful ribbon floated from the void, and a little fluttering firefly floated on it, floating softly around her, guiding her mind forward.
A bright line appeared in the endless darkness ahead, then widened rapidly, finally dispelling all the darkness.
Her eyes snapped and she sat up from the bed.
Walking briskly to the window, she stretched out her hand and pushed, and a stream of water with the scent of earth came from the west, dispelling all the sleepiness she had left.
Bright sunlight leaked down from behind the layers of clouds, and ten thousand golden rays of light split the sky and pierced into every inch of Yangcheng. Everything in the city was washed clean, and the water stains on the streets that had not completely dried up were rippled by the breeze. There are no pleasure boats on the Weishui not far away, only a small boat slowly stretching open the water and heading east. A clear sunlight crumpled into the ripples on both sides of the boat, like fine gold dust poured into the river.
A remnant rainbow hangs above the city gate, and the graceful color exhausts the boundless winding of the first sunny day after the rain.
Ye Luwu couldn't help but smile, life will always get better slowly.
Although it was still early in the morning, none of the three of them were sleepy, and she slowly straightened her long hair, which was like a waterfall, and then tied it up with a brocade, looking chic and handsome.
The light steps were imprinted on the wooden cloister, and the residual rainwater dripping down the eaves kept ticking and ticking, completely masking the sound of her footsteps.
She stood in front of the door of the adjoining room, her right hand half fist, and gently knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock. ”
In a matter of moments, two doors opened from the inside, but no one was floating behind them. Ye Luwu was suspicious, and walked into the room.
Chongguang sat alone by the window with his back to the door, and the golden sunlight leaked in through the wide open window, shining directly on his tall figure. The long hair that had spread out behind him had been like a waterfall yesterday, but this morning it had turned into a silver snowfall, floating on his lake-blue robe, like a cloud above still water. It's beautiful, but it's heart-wrenching.
Chen Yu's wheat-colored hands swept between the pure hair, and tied him into a fairy bun that was now popular.
Ye Luwu looked down his hands, and the crown of hair firmly embedded in the silver hair was not the same one that was sent to the pawnshop yesterday? Could it be that he went to redeem it last night?
Chongguang slowly got up at this time, turned his head to face her, and there was a hint of imperceptible dodging in his voice: "I look like this, but I scared you?"
After he finished speaking, he opened his eyes gently, and the pair of black jewel-like pupils all turned amber, although they did not have a look, they seemed to have the sun, moon and stars hidden in them, which was shocking. An extremely simple red totem appeared between his eyebrows at some point, and a layer of golden light flashed the moment he raised his eyes, and then it was fleeting.
Ye Luwu had never seen him like this, so he suddenly fell into those eyes that contained thousands of things.
He didn't wait for a response, so he added: "After I took shape, I wandered alone in the clouds and mountains in this form for nine hundred years, and I never saw a human during this time. In fact, I am a monster to you, although I am impulsive in Xuzhou this time, but there is no other way, even if I pay such a price, but still half a step late. ”
Ye Luwu heard a trace of inconspicuous guilt in his voice, so he hurriedly said: "Senior brother, I am not afraid, and no matter what you look like, you are still my senior brother." ”
Chen Yu straightened the folds on the hem of his clothes for him, and said, "Although my cultivation is not as good as yours now, it is more than enough to deal with others." If anyone still says you're a monster, I'm going to beat them out thirty miles away. ”
Chongguang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with relief: "That's it, it doesn't have to be like this, I didn't care about this." ”
With that, he waved his sleeve and sent the two of them three feet away. The whole person floated up from the ground, turned around and jumped out of the window, and the figure instantly turned into an inconspicuous blue, blending into the vast sky.
Ye Luwu didn't expect that he didn't even have time to say a word of farewell, so he was a little melancholy, just afraid that he wouldn't misunderstand himself.
Chen Yu looked at the blue sky outside the window steadily, and said in a low voice: "Fate is not over, I will see you again." You'd better hurry up, Kyoto must be in chaos right now. ”
Ye Luwu took a few steps forward and stood next to him, "I'll leave today, where are you going after you leave here?"
"Heh, I really don't know where I'm going to go in the future when you ask me like that," he laughed to himself, "I have an undecided covenant, and there are still a few months left to go, so I will take this opportunity to walk around this world and see what the stability of the world that he is dedicated to protecting." ”
Presumably, before this troubled world, the world was stable, and the appearance of peace in the world must be particularly exciting.
Ye Luwu smiled softly, "Senior Brother lives a more chic life than us, without the drag of this red dust, there is nothing wrong with being alone." ”
Chen Yu said: "Even if he lives for an unknown amount of time, he will always be an outsider to this red dust. In this human life, he is used to all kinds of life, but he can only watch from afar. It's not so much that he doesn't care what others think of him, but that he's afraid to walk in this world. Although he has 4,000 years of wind and frost, he is still innocent like a child. ”
Ye Luwu felt a little melancholy in his heart, all mortals cultivated for the sake of immortality, but they never thought about how lonely they would be if there was really a way to live forever.
"Since I said goodbye today, I will pass on to you the method derived from the five elements. Once this spell is completed, the aura of all things in heaven and earth can be used by you, and there will be no shortage of soul power. ”
After saying that, Chen Yu spread his right hand, and a cluster of firelight suddenly lit up.
Then the light of the fire began to darken and become more and more figurative, and in an instant it had turned into a brown clod of earth standing in the palm of his hand. The clod of earth spun slowly for two weeks, and then began to glow with golden light from it, and after a few moments, cracks appeared in the outer layer of soil, and pieces fell down, and a small sword floated silently in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the sword suddenly softened, as if melting, and fell from the air, turning into a pool of clear water when it fell into the palm of its hand, swaying with small ripples. A young shoot grew out of the water, and in an instant it began to grow, and after absorbing all the water, it turned into a small grass, standing trembling in place, and there was a star of crystal dew on it.
Eventually, sparks slowly ignited on the stems and leaves of the little grass, and in a subtle crackling sound, they turned into clusters of flames. Chen Yu clenched his right hand into a fist, and the fire disappeared between his fingers.
"Do you see?" he asked.
The five elements in the world are mutually reinforcing, this is a well-known thing, and Shangguan Xiao also mentioned this method of restoring soul power. It's just that according to what he said at that time, this method is profound and difficult to understand, and if you don't have a deep understanding of the spiritual power of the world, you can't understand it.
Originally, it was just a simple demonstration of the soul power of the five elements, but now Ye Luwu has absorbed the power of the Chiyun Fruit, and his cultivation has already surpassed Shangguan Xiao at that time. She herself is highly talented, and she only needs a little mention from someone to understand it.
"This method of the five elements is so ingenious, I can only see it today!"
The joy in Ye Luwu's heart was irrepressible, she felt a flash of inspiration in her mind, and it seemed that after realizing this method, her perception of the surrounding spiritual power was also much more sensitive.
Chen Yu showed a subtle smile and nodded, "Although your talent is far from mine, it is still much stronger than those fools in Lanmen. When he sees him again one day, if you fail me for all this hard work, I will not be able to spare you. ”
She hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely cultivate diligently, and I will never embarrass you and Senior Brother!"
Chen Yu turned around and walked out, waved his hand and said, "It's good that you understand, you don't have to send it, I'll leave." ”
It was only at this time that the Yangcheng City became lively, and the noisy sound came from outside the window, and Ye Luwu suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.
She thought she was used to loneliness, but she didn't expect that in just over a month, this perception of her was completely broken. Although Chenyu and Chongguang are not good at intersecting with people, they are strictly protecting themselves behind them after all. During this period of time, she finally regained the dependence on her daughter's family after many years, and felt the feeling of someone sheltering her from the wind and rain. The sudden arrival of the separation made her slightly uncomfortable.
But so what? Ye Luwu raised his head and looked at the clear sky outside the window, Chen Yu was right, since fate has not ended, there will be a day of goodbye after all. Presumably, at that time, I must be able to take charge of myself and become a person who can walk in the world with my head held high.
She walked out of the inn and was stopped by Xiao Er at the door, "Don't be busy leaving, the young man who came with you asked me to transfer this bag to you, and a horse, please come with me to the backyard." ”
Ye Luwu took the bag, opened a gap a little and saw that it was shining, the amount of money was left after the pawn of the crown that day, Chen Yu left this time without a penny of money. Although these two people seem to be unfriendly, they are cold and warm-hearted people after all.
She slung her bag over her shoulders and led the horse out of the backyard.
The autumn wind rose from nowhere, filling her robe with a chill, it turned out that it was almost winter, she thought. Even though her current cultivation was enough to be able to resist the sword, she didn't dare to use this unskilled technique, so she had to ride to Kyoto. Presumably, at this rate, by the time she arrived in Kyoto, it must have been a snow-covered scene.
She stood outside the city gate, slowly glanced back at the gatehouse engraved with the word Yangcheng, and then turned over and galloped away with a lonely body.
The horse's hooves crushed the dead leaves on the road, and the fine leaves were carried away by the wind, and I don't know where they fell.
