Chapter Thirty-Seven: Moths to the Fire
When I entered the inner hall, I saw Ziyu sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. Yun Qiang stepped forward and shouted tentatively.
"Master. β
"Master. β
Seeing that Ziyu still ignored her, Yun Qiang simply sat at Ziyu's feet. A pair of eyes blinked, and there were tears.
"Master, there is something that the apprentice doesn't know whether to talk about or not. The little apprentice seemed to be very embarrassed, "If I say it, don't worry. β
Although she didn't answer, she should be listening to Yunqiang's understanding of Ziyu.
"I heard that the reason why Shangjun married the god of flowers is because, it is because...... When Shangjun helped the elves to quell the rebellion, he was poisoned by the ancients, and his days were running out. The god of flowers is kind, and in order to fulfill the vow of the year, this is the marriage. β
Ziyu finally came back to her senses, "Ancient strange poison?" She remembered his appearance at the wedding banquet, not like he was heavy and poisonous. She shook her head, "He has profound skills, how can anyone in this world hurt him?" Maybe it's just rumors. β
"That's what I should have thought. But Master, this is what Murong personally heard from the Heavenly Machine. Yun Qiang said with a nose and eyes, and said, "I didn't believe it at the time, so I went out of the demon realm with the team of soul pickers and went to the Hall of Eternal Life to have a look." Shangjun has been on the sickbed for several days, and now he has fallen into a coma. If Master doesn't believe it, he can see for himself. β
Once it comes to him, Ziyu will always be confused. She scrambled to her feet and ran towards the exit, but for some reason the feeling of being tugged back came back and her steps slowed down imperceptibly. A strange thought came to her, and vaguely, she always felt that the little apprentice was especially connected with Murong Feng. But she didn't want to think about it any further.
As is often the case, the closer one gets to the truth, the more stagnant it becomes. Because they all understand that the truth is cruel.
"Xiao Yu'er, what are you going to do in this hurry?"
"What a coincidence. You're here too. Ziyu looked at Murong Fengyou, his thoughts were disordered.
"What's wrong?"
I don't know if I'm too excited, Ziyu grabbed Murong's cuffs, "My brother ......" Ziyu hesitated, or asked, "Did you really say it from the mouth ......of the Venerable?"
Ziyu looked at him, a little hesitant, "How do you know Venerable?" β
Murong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "After you entered the Pure Primal Pool, you had a relationship with the Heavenly Machine Venerable. I learned about this by chance, and it was all because of the rebellion. Why, you still don't believe me?"
Ziyu didn't answer, but looked at him left and right, "When I was in Kunlun before, there was a disciple named Xizhu who was one of the few friends I had there. She treated me very well, took me all over the Kunlun Mountains, sneaked into the forbidden land, took care of me when I was sick, and comforted me when I was sad. In Kunlun, except for my brother and Zhige, I only believe in her. β
"Then she betrayed you?" asked Murong.
"No, she didn't betray me. Because she's never been on my side all along. Where is the betrayal?" Ziyu asked rhetorically, with a faint look on her face, as if all this was not what she had experienced.
"She is the inner response of the Demon Realm. Ziyu hung his head, unable to see his joy or anger.
She thought that no matter how many years passed, she would never forget it. It was the cup of tea that Xizhu held that made her whole life deviate from the track, so that she could never turn back. If it weren't for that cup of tea, she wouldn't have been taken away so easily that day, if it hadn't been for Po Naa, there was no Scattering Elixir, wouldn't everything be different.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Murong wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips. Ziyu Xu understood his thoughts, and said casually, "In the end, she died, under my sword." β
Ziyu looked up at the sky and sighed, "Since then, I have told myself that I can't believe at will, let alone give my heart at will. Because feelings are such a thing, once you give it, you can't get it back. β
Murong didn't know what to say for a while, he stepped forward and patted Ziyu on the shoulder, trying to comfort him. It's just that his eyes looking at Ziyu are a little deeper. Ziyu suddenly turned around and smiled brightly at him, "Don't worry." I said in Bith City that as long as you rescue Yunqiang, I will no longer doubt you. Word. I'm not going to break my word. β
"Brother's business, I will find a way to go to Kunlun in person. You don't have to worry about me. Went first. β
Ziyu walked past him, and the moment she misturned, her voice sounded in Murong Fengyou's ears, "For me, not doubting is not the same as trusting. β
Murong took her hand and asked firmly, "What do you mean?"
Ziyu raised his head, and his gaze met him, "I've always regarded you as a friend." Murong, tell me, should I trust you?"
Murong didn't answer.
Ziyu smiled lightly, and she came back to her senses. "Murong Fengyou, I hope we have always been friends. β
She broke free of his hand, leaving him alone.
"Master, Master?" the little apprentice couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ziyu returning, "You're not ......"
"Do you really think that Rui Shounan will treat me with good food and drink for so many days, and it will be so easy to let me go?"
The little apprentice's mouth opened into an oh zigzag, and he trotted forward to keep up with Ziyu's footsteps, gossiping like a dog's leg, "Master." Didn't Si Jun say he wanted to marry you last time?"
Ziyu poked the elm head of the little apprentice, "It doesn't matter if this is a joke or not." In the past, he deliberately wanted me to enter the demon world and join the demon world. I think I should be a very useful pawn for them. So, I came in, how could I get out so easily?"
"Then what should I do?" the little apprentice walked to the side and sat down sullenly, "Isn't the master really going to see the Immortal Venerable? β
"Don't you always have a lot of ideas? Ziyu sat down beside the little apprentice.
The little apprentice pondered for a moment, then suddenly jumped up excitedly, clapped his hands, and said, "There you have!"
"Master, why don't we make a move to get the golden cicada out of its shell?"
Ziyu listened with interest, "The golden cicada is out of its shell? β
"There aren't many people in the Demon Realm who really know about you. Why don't we pick a good time, I will continue to stay in the Demon Realm in the form of you, and you disguise yourself as me to go out, isn't it okay?" The little apprentice looked very happy, and almost applauded himself and danced.
However, Ziyu didn't have any affection left, and refused at once.
"I thought it was a good idea. I can't even hide your disguise technique, and if I meet one of Rui Shounan and Zhu Li Xing, I don't know that I have died hundreds of times. What's more, there is also a Ran Ji by my side. β
"What then...... the little apprentice muttered.
"What to do?" Rui Shounan didn't know when he was already standing behind them.
The little apprentice stood up with a swish, as if he had done something bad and was discovered, and even his speech became stammering, "Si, Sijun." β
Rui Shounan walked up to Ziyu with a smile and said gently, "What do you want to do?" I can help you. β
It is undeniable that this man is born with a sense of oppression, Ziyu's heart is beating fast, but his face is very calm. She turned back to the little apprentice behind her and ordered, "You go down first." β
The little apprentice glanced at his master with a worried face, and nodded, "Disciple retires." β
Ziyu glanced at Rui Shounan, turned around and took a few steps forward, and explained casually, "You scared her." β
Rui Shounan couldn't help laughing, "Is this seat so scary?"
Ziyu didn't look over his head, "Of course." β
Rui Shounan stopped joking and put on a serious look, "I guess you already know about Ji Ziyang." I'm here to let you go. β
"I don't believe that the Demon Realm Master would be so kind. Ziyu felt more and more deceitful in his heart.
Rui Shounan stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the broken hair around Ziyu's ear, "I think even if I don't let go, you will sneak out." Instead of this, it is better to push the boat to send you a favor, in the hope of leaving a good impression on the beauty. Can't you?"
"Rui Shounan. Ziyu smiled and called his name lightly, and his green jade fingers stretched out, lightly provoking his chin, "Why do you think that I know that this is a trap, and I will jump down without hesitation?"
"Because. Rui Shounan took her hand and moved it away gently, "It's Ji Ziyang." β
The smile on his face suddenly froze, Ziyu's face changed, and he asked coldly, "I want to leave now." β
"Good. Rui Shounan nodded, "Cane Li Xing, send her out." β
Cane Li Xing has always been treacherous, coming and going without a shadow. Out of nowhere, an answer came, "Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of Zhu Li Xing suddenly appeared at the originally empty door. Seeing this, Ziyu just hurriedly said "thank you" to Rui Shounan, and immediately set off for Kunlun.
The little apprentice who had been guarding the fork in the corridor saw Ziyu and Zhu Lixing hurrying, thinking that something was wrong, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart, so he quietly followed.
This time, it went to Kunlun.
The meaningful smile on Yun Qiang's face could not be seen in the dark. The sky is getting darker, and the storm is comingβ
Kunlun Mountain has long lost the longevity of the pear blossom thousands of years ago, and the peach blossom is too void to see the beautiful scenery of thousands of miles. The peach blossoms have been removed to the island, the pear blossoms have been cut down, and now all that remains is the green pine forests on the vast mountains. Ziyu went up along the mountain road, walking on the road that she was once most familiar with, and she had a lot of thoughts for a while.
"Who are you?" someone asked.
Ziyu looked back, and the face of the woman in front of her seemed familiar.
She covered her mouth, obviously recognizing Ziyu, "You, are you Ji Ziyu?" she suddenly sighed and beckoned to Ziyu, "I'm Tao Tao of the Qingxin Palace." The Venerable has instructed that if you meet you in Kunlun, he will lead you to see the Immortal Venerable. Come with me. β
"Does the Venerable know that I will come?" Ziyu was a little confused. But he also obediently followed Tao Tao.
Tao Tao didn't answer, but said, "Xianzun is not lightly ill, it is good that Miss Ji can come." No matter what the rumors are, you're his sister after all. β
"What rumors?" Ziyu asked.
Tao Tao smiled bitterly and did not answer again. Just silently lead the way in front.
"It's here. Tao Tao stood still.
Ziyu looked up, and sure enough, there were three words written elegantly on the plaque.
Hall of Eternal Life.
