Chapter 054: Embarking on a Journey
Liluo parted with Xuan Ming and walked on the country road, blowing the gentle breeze, listening to the insects and frog drums, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, light steps, and a comfortable mood.
Although the two can't be lovers, they are not enemies, and they can at least chat calmly for a while when they meet, she feels that it is enough for her to do this.
She clenched the special little talisman in her hand, and couldn't help but feel emotional, from his attitude towards her, his concern for her, his guilt for her, he should have been sincere to her, right?
As she walked, she seemed to hear something moving with her in the greenery on either side. She moves, that thing moves, she stops, that thing stops.
Liluo looked around a little nervously, except for the country path under his feet, which was lined with knee-high or waist-high greenery, which was gray in the moonlight.
She took a deep breath and told herself not to be nervous, but when she walked again, her ears subconsciously pricked up to listen. "Boom~Boom~" Something did move with her.
Her hair stood on end, her heart couldn't help but pound, and her clenched palms were sweating. She turned back and saw nothing, only her own shadow growing in the moonlight.
The thing wasn't behind her, it was in the grass, in the bushes of vegetation that lined her side. She could see the dents of the plants being crushed and too late to regain their leveling.
She stopped, trying to calm herself. She now knows spells, has cultivation, and spiritual power, even if there are demons and monsters approaching, is she still afraid? When she thought so, she pinched the trick casually, pinched a talisman charm, wrapped herself, and then urged the spiritual power to sense the surroundings.
When he saw two multicolored flower snakes crawling motionless among the plants, Liluo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a multicolored flower snake, one of which she was impressed, with the shape of a crown on its head, the one summoned by the boss Yu on Fengshen Mountain, and the other one on the head was a king character, which was easy to recognize.
They are all spiritual snakes in the Glazed Valley, guarding the statue of the Glazed Valley all year round.
Today, for some reason, I sneaked out again, and slipped to Butterfly Valley to find her. They divided into two paths, one left and one right, and followed her silently from a distance of five or six meters, not daring to move forward. Liluo was a little puzzled by their sudden appearance, could it be that they knew that she was about to leave, so they came to see them off, and suddenly a strange emotion rose in her heart.
For the rest of the journey, she walked silently, they followed silently, carefully, very spiritually, without disturbing or disturbing, just silently guarding and escorting.
Not far away, Si Yu was looking forward to a glass lamp, with a hint of worry on his face, and when he saw her return safely, he immediately smiled.
"If I don't come back, I'm going to go out to find you. He stepped forward quickly, and naturally took her hand and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"What's wrong with your territory? Besides, I still have the left and right Dharma Protectors on hand to escort me back. She smiled.
"Dharma Protector, what Dharma Protector?" he asked, puzzled.
"Wow. Liluo pouted, his eyes swept behind him.
However, there was no sound in the back, strange, it was still there just now, and it slipped away so quickly?
Si Yuhu looked at her suspiciously.
She could only confess. "I just came back all the way, and the two multicolored spirit snakes from Liuli Valley have been following me. They didn't show up, they kept hiding in the grass, keeping a certain distance from me. ”
"Oh~" He was also a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I may know that you are leaving, so I am reluctant to let you go." Hundreds of years of spirit snakes, naturally spiritual. ”
"Before I leave tomorrow, I want to go back to Liuli Valley to say goodbye to them. She wanted to go back to the Forbidden Land Goddess Pavilion to have a look, it was the first time she came into the Glazed Valley, and the divine power left by the former Glazed Goddess got her there. In just a few dozen days, too many things have happened in the valley, and I haven't taken a good look at the palace built for her by the clansmen of Liuli Valley.
He nodded and said, "Let's go together." ”
The Goddess Lake, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming everywhere, the lake and the mountains are beautiful, and the mist is misty.
"You said I'm going to swim in the lake now, will I be caught again?" Liluo remembered the scene of that day, and remembered it vividly.
"Nowadays, only you are entitled to enjoy the pool. Si Yu had a smile on his face.
Then without saying a word, Liluo ran directly to the lake of goddesses covered with flowers, fragrant flowers, and crystal clear, like a fish, playing in the water. When she was tired, she floated on the surface of the lake, surrounded by a school of fish, gently pushing her to swim in the lake. Her eyes were full of greenery, and the melodious fragrance of birds and flowers, she was intoxicated and didn't want to wake up.
Suddenly, two clouds of colorful smoke flew out of the Goddess Pavilion, and flew into the lake with a "boom", making two small splashes of water, heading straight for Liluo. They gently lifted Liluo, galloped on the surface of the lake, circled, splashed in strings, and waved bursts of clouds and mist, and had a good time. The two colorful spirit snakes are like two happy fish, jumping and flying in the water, using all their skills to please Liluo.
Just as they were having fun, they heard a series of footsteps coming towards the Goddess Lake.
Liluo's face changed. Wouldn't it be a repetition of the past?
She reflexively flew out of the lake immediately, drained the water on her body with her spiritual power, and pulled Si Yu to hurriedly hide in the darkness behind the altar of the Goddess Pavilion. The two spirit snakes also quickly followed them back to the Goddess Pavilion, meditating in a ball on the left and right sides of the altar.
After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer, and it seemed that there were quite a few people. They were passing by the Lake of the Goddess and heading towards the Pavilion of the Goddess. The Goddess Pavilion is located at the foot of the Goddess Mountain, by the Goddess Lake, surrounded by green trees and flowers. This goddess pavilion is not large, and the edge of the pavilion is inlaid with various glass patterns, which shine dazzlingly in the sunlight. Walking into the goddess pavilion, there is a glass goddess statue on the altar of the goddess in the center, and the colorful spirit snakes that have been alive for hundreds of years on both sides are guarded, so it seems sacred and inviolable.
I saw Qin Jiaming as the leader, several old men in charge on the side, and a group of officials of the Liuli clan behind, standing solemnly in front of the Goddess Pavilion. The mother-in-law of Xinhua stood on one side, first bowed three times to the statue of the glass goddess, and then stepped forward, poured wine, offered flowers, and read the sacrifice in front of the altar. At this moment, Liluo and Si Yu were hiding in the small space behind the altar, Liluo was in front, Si Yu was behind, and the front chest was close to the back, Si Yu simply wrapped his hands around her slender waist. Liluo's face was hot and protested slightly, and he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and they would find out, so he had to endure it, but Si Yu was complacent and hugged her tighter.
They peeked through the tiny hole in the back of the altar.
Mother-in-law Xinhua instructed the two female envoys to invite the glass goddess statue down from the altar and put it in a glass box. A new statue of the glass goddess who is very similar to Liluo was invited to the altar of the goddess. Then they went forward again to pour wine, offer flowers, sacrifice a series of ritual activities, and finally after the ceremony, the group left quietly and orderly.
Liluo came out from behind the altar, walked around to the altar, and carefully looked at the statue of the goddess who looked like herself, and was a little confused for a while. The Liuli people are so religious, so believing, so trusting to pin their hopes on her, but she has no clue now, how can she solve their doubts?
"What's wrong?" Si Yu saw that she was preoccupied and sullen.
"Suddenly I felt a little bit of pressure on my shoulders. She sighed slightly.
"Just do your best, even if you become a god, there are times when you have no choice. Si Yu comforted her.
Don't leave your home.
In the afternoon, the sun is slightly drunk, and this point makes people sleepy.
Xiao Shrimp stuck to the front desk alone, yawning while sorting out the documents on the table. Lately, life has been the same, and she has no interest in anything.
Since my sister left here, it seems that I have taken away their vitality, and the group of people can't do anything. What's going on?
Mo Jingxuan didn't know what he was busy with recently, so he left Mo Liju, left them and a group of them, and went back to the city alone. Shi Lei and Xiaozhu are sweet and sweet every day, and I have already set a wedding date. Because of Mo Jingxuan's departure, Lucy also became listless and in a trance every day.
She really misses her sister, I wonder how she's doing now?
A man and a woman came in through the doorway. The sunlight outside the house stretched their figures slenderly.
"Welcome to Mo Liju, do you need to stay in a hotel?" she didn't even raise her head, still busy with the work at hand.
"I need to book a room, is there anyone living in 208?" Si Yu asked solemnly.
"Sorry sir, 208 has been booked, do you need ...... other rooms" Xiao Shrimp raised his head, saw that they were stunned, his eyes widened in shock, and stopped the latter words.
Liluo stepped forward with a smile and hugged her. Xiao Shrimp's eyes were suddenly moist, tears came out of her eyes, her face was full of grievances, and she couldn't cry and said, "Sister, you, Brother Si Yu, you, I thought you would never come back." ”
"Why? We're just away for a while, aren't we coming back?" Liluo patted her on the back, feeling sorry in her heart, and comforted her softly.
"It's been so long, so long that I've almost forgotten what you look like. Xiao Shrimp was still sobbing, hugging Liluo tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Okay, okay, we're back now, your sister has been on the road for a day in order to come back to see you earlier, and now she is hungry and tired, can you let your sister rest first and get her something to eat?" Si Yu saw that they were inseparable, so he had to step forward to persuade them.
Xiao Shrimp wiped her tears and sent her sister back to her room to rest, while instructing the kitchen to get them food. She is now fully familiar with the operation of the B&B and can stand alone. Liluo looked at her capable appearance, thinking that she was still coquettish like a little girl just now, and couldn't help laughing.
When I returned to Mo Liju, it was like a world away, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while. She looked out the window, and there was a fish pond with green water, familiar and unfamiliar.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Shrimp came in and told her to go out to eat. Looking at a table of small shrimp for her meals, sweet and sour pork ribs, dry pot cauliflower, fish-flavored eggplant, farmhouse stir-fry, dried vegetable and lentil fan bone soup. It's all what she loves to eat, and for a while, my heart was full of emotion, and I couldn't help but have a big appetite, and I picked up chopsticks and ate it with relish.
Si Yu is not a picky eater, he is now at the stage of Bigu, and he does not have high requirements for eating.
Several people were talking and laughing at the dinner table, asking each other about the situation. Liluo only said that he went to Si Yu's hometown, in the deep mountains, there is no electricity, no lights, no signal, no toothpaste, toothbrush, no soap and shower gel, not to mention TV, washing machine, air conditioning and other products of civilization and technology, it is a very remote and very backward place, where people live a very primitive and very primitive life, although the living conditions are not as convenient as here, but they live happily. Xiao Shrimp was amazed when he heard it, and he couldn't stop smashing his tongue.
However, when talking about Mo Liju, she was a little stupid. They were all busy, so busy that they didn't have time to get together. Since she left, Mo Jingxuan has often traveled on business, invested in several projects, and has been very busy, and the time spent in Mo Liju is only a handful. Lucy took over Mo Liju, but because his relationship with Mo Jingxuan was uncertain, the whole person seemed a little lost. Shi Lei and Xiaozhu are now like glue, and the good days are approaching, and he will stay in Zhangfu for more time.
As a result, she is now at a loss and a little lonely. She looked at Liluo pitifully, and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you can't leave me anymore." ”
Liluo was heartbroken when she heard this, and immediately decided that no matter where she went in the future, she would keep her by her side and take good care of her.
She nodded solemnly. "Sister promises you that we will never be separated again. ”
