Chapter Twenty-Five: Beth City
In the middle of the night, a scream suddenly came from inside the Nine Demon Cave.
"Red Fox!
The red fox hurriedly came from outside, "Sister, what's ......?"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the red fox saw a man sitting on the ground. Her white hair was pale, her skin was dry and wrinkled like a dead tree, her eyes were gray and she didn't have half of her aura, her back was a little rickety, and when she opened her mouth, even her voice was old.
Qiao Yi sat down on the ground, holding the bronze mirror in his hand trembling and spoke, "Red fox, tell me." It's not really ......"
The red fox's heart ached, and two tears fell from the fox's eyes, "Sister, don't be afraid." ”
"It's not true, it's not true!" he screamed, flipping the table and shattering the mirror.
Qiao Yi shouted like crazy, his face was already full of tears, "Kunlun Mirror, Kunlun Mirror?!"
The red fox jumped on her shoulder, "Sister, the Kunlun mirror was stolen last night. ”
Stolen...... The artifact that maintained her beauty was actually stolen!
She didn't dare to bow her head when she looked up and wept, because the debris on the ground would reflect her pitiful appearance now. She tugged at her hair hard, she hated the white hair that symbolized old age, she hated the dry hands, she hated who she was now. He wailed loudly, and a mouthful of sweet fish gushed out.
Red Fox was frightened, "Sister, don't do this. The red fox was afraid. ”
Qiao Yi didn't have the strength to shout anymore, but the water flowed down in a stream. What she feared the most still happened.
"Red Fox, I can't be old. Qiao Yi cried and muttered.
She hasn't married Rui Shounan yet, she hasn't made the red fox cultivate into a human form, she hasn't ...... yet With so many things to be done, how could she grow old so easily.
Earthly, April.
It is said that Ziyu and the little apprentice set up a medical center in the city, and there are many homeless, beggars, old people and children who come to treat them these days, and dozens of people are almost all with the same symptoms, which is no different from what the old woman said.
But no matter what, the cause of the disease could not be found, and Ziyu had no other way but to prescribe some blood pressure tonic medicine every day for a while. Coupled with the lack of food and water, the supply of medicinal materials is insufficient, so Ziyu has to go to the surrounding wasteland in the middle of the night every day to collect herbs.
It's tiring, but it's fulfilling.
"Master, come on, someone is fainting outside!" the little apprentice's voice came from outside the door.
Ziyu ran out and saw the little apprentice holding a sturdy middle-aged man, busy helping him. Ziyu gritted his teeth, this person is really strong, he can't carry it...
It's just that suddenly the strength on his shoulders suddenly loosened, and Ziyu turned around and saw an acquaintance.
"Murong Fengyou?"
"Miss Ziyu, long time no see. ”
The man is as graceful as jade, and his smile is calming.
Murong is a man, and with him helping the medical hall, the matter will soon be over. He half leaned back on the wooden chair, looked at Ziyu and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, you seem to have changed a lot." ”
"It's been a long time, indeed. Ziyu looked at him coldly, "Murong Gongzi." ”
Murong only turned a blind eye to that gaze, but said with a smile, "But it's just a one-sided relationship, how fortunate it is, Miss Ziyu still remembers it." ”
Ziyu slowly approached him, she suddenly leaned over and exhaled in his ear, "Among the three thousand years of immortal people, it is difficult to remember. ”
"What, doubt me?" Murong smiled ruffianly, and his hand took Ziyu's willow waist, "Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary mortal." ”
Ziyu didn't laugh angrily, and his hand gently roamed over Murong's face, "I don't care who you are, just leave Bisi City and leave the medical hall." Don't come near me. The strength of his hand gradually increased, and a seductive smile couldn't help but appear. She removed his hand from her waist and turned to leave.
"I didn't lie to you!" Murong stopped her, and when she turned around, he smiled and explained, "I'm a hell doctor. He lifted his long sleeves, and strange black lines appeared on his arms.
Each of the six realms has a pattern that symbolizes its own identity, and Ziyu recognizes that it is the logo of the underworld.
Seeing that she still had doubts, Murong added, "The underworld doctor has too much to cure ghosts, and the bull head and horse face will not hook my soul." But the biggest benefit is that I don't look old, so I can live with such a handsome face for thousands of years. He suddenly pinched Ziyu's nose, "There are too many dead people here, and I have to live beyond the revenant, so I can't leave." “
"Anyway. Ziyu's eyes were like torches, "Don't try to understand me, let alone try to take advantage of me." ”
She never wants to hurt anyone who loves her and who she loves again.
Murong approached her, leaning over and almost leaning on her, "Miss Ziyu don't remember, but you grabbed me at the beginning." ”
"Master!"
The little apprentice suddenly ran in, his face flushed. Hurriedly bowed his head, "Master, I found a water source, it's on the East Mountain Pass..."
"He's?" asked the little apprentice, pointing at Murong.
"Doctor. ”
Ziyu's attention was not here at all, and he didn't have time to say anything before he hurried to Dongshan.
"Hey, Master!" the little apprentice tried to stop her. However, Ziyu has disappeared at the intersection.
Yun Qiang turned his head and restrained his smile. After staring at Murong for a moment, the innocence in his eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only coldness.
"Why are you here?" Murong also looked like frost.
Murong clasped his hands and asked rhetorically, his face full of banter, "Why are you here, but I can't." ”
"I don't know what you're here for, and I don't want to know. But you have to know who she is and who you are. What kind of relationship should you have, and what kind of relationship can only be. Yun Qiang's words were vague, but he was inadvertently reminding Murong of his identity.
"What kind of relationship, what kind of identity, you don't have to worry about me. On the contrary, it is you, but you have to hide it well, otherwise your master will not let you go, and it will be a pity to give away your life at that time. ”
"So what, everyone is going to die, isn't it?" Yun Qiang smiled.
"Whoever dies will die. This is fate, even if it is an ancient god, it cannot escape the fate. Yun Qiang saw that his hand gradually tightened, and couldn't help laughing, "Angry, don't worry, as long as you don't harm my good deeds, I naturally won't find a leak for you." If you will, let us not let the water of the well interfere with the water of the river. If you don't want to, then we'll be dead. No one can get any benefit. ”
The little apprentice dusted off his sleeves and smiled at the light. Innocence returned to her face once more, and her eyes were as bright as a crescent moon in the sky.
"I'm going to find my master, Doctor Murong, see you back. ”
The vast land is full of life again, and the decaying land is finally bursting with new green. Phoenix Nirvana is rebirth, and after rebirth, there is death.
"Heaven is great. "In the ninefold heaven, the rain descends at dusk.
"Look at this land, the people's livelihood is suffering, and demons are raging. The law is lawless, and the way is not the way. ”
Such a voice is calm and calm like water, indifferent with inexplicable alienation. Such a cold voice will only be him-Ji Ziqing.
He stood with his hands in his hands, overlooking the earth above the nine heavens. Twilight Guiyu stood beside him, and she knew that he had the common people in his heart.
"The Emperor of Heaven still refuses to order rain?"
"The Emperor of Heaven is still angry, how can he order rain? The Emperor's will is unpredictable, and the Thunder Gongdian Mother does not dare to make a rash decision. After all, no one in the Heavenly Realm wants to be the second Dragon King. After thinking about it again and again, Du Guiyu finally decided to speak, "Ziyang, actually, you don't have to carry so many burdens by yourself. ”
Ji Ziyang didn't answer, just looked at the soles of his feet and didn't know what he was thinking. Before he could wait for a response, Twilight Rain followed his gaze, and his heart twitched, and the place he saw was Bith City.
Twilight Guiyu took a deep breath and tried to keep the most appropriate smile possible, "Don't you want to see her, she used to cling to you so much, she hasn't seen you for three thousand years, she must miss your brother very much." ”
Ji Ziqing finally relaxed his tightly knit brows, even if he didn't smile at all, he could make people feel his rare tranquility.
I don't know if he was thinking something, he smiled helplessly, "She's grown up." ”
Twilight Guiyu bowed her head and had to bear that she was jealous of Ji Ziyu. Rao has made so many unforgivable mistakes, and after three thousand years, Rao's joy and anger are still only for her.
"Also, it's always good to sharpen it. Dusk returned to Yudao, didn't want to think about those troubles anymore, and changed the topic, "I heard that the emperor invited you tomorrow, and invited Ziyin, you want to watch the Sansheng Lotus bloom in Yaochi?" Ziyang, you better be careful." ”
"In this life, I take the safety of the world as my own responsibility, and I have no intention of fighting for high positions in the heavenly realm. You don't have to worry about me. ”
"Sometimes it's involuntary. Twilight looked at him, worried. Ziyin is good at power tricks and has won the emperor's heart, while Ji Ziyang is clear-minded and only wants to help the world, and he is the most vulnerable to being framed if he doesn't like to explain.
The twilight rain is deep in his eyes, and he secretly makes a decision in his heart. In any case, she would not allow anyone to hurt him.
Under the clouds, Ji Ziqing's gaze never left the man. He is her calamity, but she is his fate. Heavens, why are you so troublesome?
In Beth City, the little apprentice's "Master" resounded in the sky.
Ziyu put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little apprentice raised his hand and pointed to the red mark on his arm and complained, "Master, Murong Kid beat me." ”
Murong pretended to be calm and pounded the medicine on the side, without even raising his head, "Xiao Yu'er, do you believe it?"
"You two haven't been in shape all day. Ziyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, turned around and went back to her own business, no matter how much they messed around. But there was a smile on her face that could not be erased, such a dull, full of all kinds of small emotions made her find the meaning of life, and made her long-sealed heart restless and full of vitality again.
Ziyu realized that it was not all him in her life. After many years, everything about him has been firmly hidden by her. Everything was like yesterday, but it was out of reach, like a long dream, in which she was riddled with holes.
"Let's eat!" Granny Zhou came in with a large basin.
The little apprentice cheered and ran to the table, but his smile instantly stiffened, "Mother-in-law, why is it still sweet potato soup? ”
Granny Zhou was also helpless, and added a full bowl for the little apprentice, comforting, "There is no way, there is too little water on the East Mountain, just barely enough to drink, how can there be extra to farm and raise silkworms? I don't know what happened to this day, it's been almost five years, and there hasn't even been a drop of rain." ”
The little apprentice put his head together and drank the soup in one go, "Now I don't taste it anymore, I want to vomit." ”
Ziyu stepped forward and filled a small bowl, "Yunqiang, don't be discouraged." It's always going to get better. ”
"I hope so. The little apprentice was in a bad mood, so he put down the bowl and went out to relax alone.
At night, Ziyu sat in front of the door, looking at the starry sky in a daze.
"What are you thinking?" Murong stood behind her.
"I suddenly remembered a dream I had before. ”
Murong sat down beside her, shoulder to shoulder, so close, "Is there me in the dream?"
Ziyu pondered for a moment, "Yes." ”
Murong smiled, seemingly satisfied with this answer.
"Murong, how do you say you can make it rain in the sky?"
"Where it rains and how long it rains, it is up to the Emperor of Heaven to decide before issuing a rain order. The dragons and thunder mothers who are in charge of the rain are all acting on orders. If you want to make it rain, it's almost impossible. But ......"
"But what?"
"God is the Creator, and all things under heaven are commanded by her. It should be able to move Kyushu and rain heavily. It's a pity that the Protoss disappeared many years ago. ”
"Really?"
"God is sovereign over all things. Nature can dominate the storm. ”
