Chapter Fifty-Six: The Promise of the Divine Tree
After making up his mind, Ji Ran felt a fire rekindled in his heart.
He took a few steps forward, and only then did he realize that he seemed to have forgotten something tonight.
"Ahββ!h
- Originally, he was going to take this opportunity to hand the note to Miss Seven, but as soon as the Shura field was over tonight, he forgot about this really important matter!
Ji Ran turned around abruptly and blew towards the Feng Mansion again like a gust of wind.
β¦β¦
On this night, with a clear breeze and bright moon on Daizong Mountain, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen sat together on a tree tree growing on the cliff.
The two had just taken a walk in the maple forest under the moon not far away, Feng Yan felt a little tired, so Wei Xingzhen took her to a high place to rest.
He hugged Feng Yan tightly in his arms and shielded her from the cold wind at night with his fluffy fox tail.
The two whispered, the sound of the conversation was almost murmuring, Feng Yan closed her eyes, and looked as if she was a little sleepy.
"Does Ah Yan want to go back?"
Feng Yan shook her head, she leaned on Wei Xingzhen's shoulder, and put her hand on his heart.
If you want to tell me tonight, Feng Yan hasn't said it yet.
Although Wei Xingzhen's expression was calm along the way, and there was nothing unusual in her words, she could feel that after seeing the jade turn red, Wei Xingzhen's whole person became nervous.
Otherwise, he would not suddenly take himself to Daizong Mountain.
He probably ...... I'm really in a hurry.
"I still have a place I want to go," Feng Yan said in a low voice.
"Okay, where does Ah Yan want to go?"
"Do you remember the courtyard where I lived on Daizong Mountain?"
"Remember, Ah Yan wants to go to that mountain residence to have a look, right?"
"Hmm." Feng Yan nodded.
Wei Xingzhen hugged Feng Yan and got up, and the sound of hunting sounded in their ears again. The mountains on both sides rose and fell in Feng Yan's sight, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the clear moon overhead.
Feng Yan looked up at Wei Xingzhen's side face again, trying to imagine his tormented mood at the moment.
These days, they have been together day and night, reluctant to stay together day and night, Feng Yan feels that she is always in a slightly drunken mood.
She knew in her heart that everything had just begun in her place, but in Wei Xingzhen's place, this story had a long past - so how could she imagine Wei Xingzhen's mood at the moment?
But even so, she still has to think about it, because she wants to soothe the things that make the people in front of her feel uneasy and annoying.
When looking at Wei Xingzhen, his silence, his troubles, and his patience...... Everything about him is curious.
Feng Yan sighed and couldn't help but look away, if it weren't for the fact that he was leaping between the mountains and forests at this moment, she would have wanted to kiss him again.
"It's just ahead." Wei Xingzhen gently raised her chin and motioned for Feng Yan to look down diagonally, "Ah Yan wants to go in and rest for a while?" β
"No, don't go to the mountain dwelling." Feng Yan said softly, "There is a path up the mountain outside the south gate of that courtyard, Xingzhen should stop at the highest part of that mountain road." β
Wei Xingzhen identified the terrain in the air for a while, and then quickly found the place Feng Yan said.
Feng Yan took his hand and led him headlong into the deep mountain forest.
"Where is Ah Yan taking me?"
"Shh
Intertwined branches and leaves spread in layers above their heads, obscuring the moonlight.
Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen clasped their fingers, and they could only hear each other's footsteps and breathing in the dark.
Wei Xingzhen followed behind Feng Yan, looking at her back, and suddenly hoped that this night would never pass, and that this road should be extended all the way down, without an end.
If you are holding Ah Yan's hand, then you can go anywhere.
At the forks of several roads, Feng Yan stopped, repeatedly identified for a long time, and finally took Wei Xingzhen to a huge banyan tree.
Its bare roots are intertwined like dragon's whiskers, and the cold moonlight is like stars in the gaps between branches and leaves.
The trunk of the banyan tree is hung with a long vermilion thread and a small copper bell tied on the line - this is supposed to be a sacred tree that is more than 1,000 years old. There are no more or no less such banyan trees on Daizong Mountain, just ninety-nine, and each of them is hung with a peace rope and an evil bell.
Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan, a gust of wind blew, the copper bell swayed crisply, and the moonlight shattered in her eyes.
"Familiar? Over here. Feng Yan suddenly turned around and asked.
Wei Xingzhen retracted her gaze, and only then did she really begin to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
Feng Yan leaned over, "Don't you remember?" β
Wei Xingzhen frowned slightlyβit did seem a little familiar here, but ......
"This is ......"
"It should be where I first met you."
In an instant, Wei Xingzhen remembered everything.
When she was young, Feng Yan once ran here crying alone on a summer night.
She fell to her knees under the great sacred tree, holding her hands together, and whispered a plea for rain so that she could spend some more time in the mountains.
After Feng Yan made a wish, a gust of wind for no reason blew the bells on the entire tree to jingle, Feng Yan raised her head in a daze with tears, looking at the miraculous scene in front of her.
At that time, Wei Xingzhen was standing on the other side of the tree.
It doesn't matter if it's the previous life, or this life.
"At that time...... How did you notice me? Feng Yan asked softly.
Wei Xingzhen lowered her eyes, "...... It's just a coincidence. β
"Was it a coincidence in the first place?"
Wei Xingzhen avoided Feng Yan's eyes, "Hmm." β
"That's nice...... I can meet you. Feng Yan raised her head again and stared at Shenmu's huge torso, "Xingzhen, can you promise me one more thing today?" β
Wei Xingzhen silently waited for Feng Yan's next words.
Feng Yan didn't say it immediately, her fingertips gently rubbed Wei Xingzhen's palm, as if she was considering the words.
After a long time, she finally looked into Wei Xingzhen's eyes and said with a smile, "Promise me, no matter what happens next, hide your fox tail." β
Wei Xingzhen's eyebrows moved slightly, "What does Ah Yan want to say?" β
"There are so many differences between this life and the previous life, but Bai Wujian still said that my calamity is in the year of twenty-four, so no matter what happens this year, it will not be a danger that can endanger my life...... You have to be calm, at all times, to be calm. β
Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen with a smile, "Don't let others know that my husband is a fox." β
Wei Xingzhen felt a wave of uneasiness and sweetness in her heart.
ββ¦β¦ Okay," he grabbed Feng Yan's hand, lowered his head and gently pecked the back of her hand, "anything else?" β
Feng Yan stared at Wei Xingzhen without saying a word, staring seriously at the face she liked more and more, and then gently stood on tiptoe, hugged Wei Xingzhen's neck again, and hugged him in his arms.
The two closed their eyes and kissed drowsily. Let your breath get stuck together.
The wind was above them, setting off a wave of the forest sea.
