The next day, in a remote valley.

Cheng Hao wandered in front of a mountain wall for a long time, until the sun was three poles, and then he turned around and walked into the mountain wall.

This is the residence where Ah Xinhua and Grandma took him. Although there are phantom arrays and defensive arrays, the last time he came, Cheng Hao wrote down the path to enter.

I thought about it for a long time last night, except for Xia Ling, there is no really kind person in this world, and the only one who can make him feel at ease is this grandmother who is a descendant of the Chiyou tribe.

Come to think of it, Grandma is old and mature, and she should know why she has such nightmares. So, today I came to ask her to solve her doubts.

After passing the formation, looking at the statue of Chiyou who is in the sky in one hand, after thousands of years, it seems that he can still feel his majesty and domineering standing up to the sky, standing proud, and looking down on the world!

He bowed three times before turning around and walking into the house.

It seems that I don't feel the breath of Grandma and is not at home? There was laughter and the sound of a TV series playing upstairs, it should be Ah Xinhua, just go up and ask where Grandma went.

So I went up to the second floor, walked towards the bedroom, and found that the door was open, and was about to knock on the door frame to remind someone that someone was coming, but who knew that an insignificant figure was lying on the bed, holding a big panda puppet, watching the TV series!

Coincidentally, the eyes of the two met in the air, and a scream that was enough to shatter the glass sounded, and then a black shadow smashed over, it was the ragdoll panda.

Cheng Hao grabbed it, hurriedly turned his back, there seemed to be a faint fragrance on the puppet panda, and hurriedly threw it back on the bed with his backhand, his face was flushed, and said, "Why don't you wear clothes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Get out! Rogue! Immediately, immediately, get out of here! ”

Ah Xinhua, who got into the quilt, smashed the phone over and shouted.

Cheng Hao was helpless, he knew that he was at a loss, and went downstairs in a gloomy manner, what is this TM!

Just as he was hesitating to leave, a squeaky sound sounded. Ah Xinhua, who was dressed in a pink nightgown, was barefoot, picked up a machete, and rushed down with a fierce momentum!

Cheng Hao was frightened, and explained while hiding: "I... I didn't mean to. I'm here to find Grandma, who knows that you don't wear clothes at home, and you can't blame me all! ”

Ah Xin's anger was furious, and he slashed blindly, how could he hit Cheng Hao, and suddenly his nose was sore, and his tears swirled.

He pressed the machete against his neck, and a red line appeared on the snow-white neck.

Cheng Hao was so frightened by this scene that his legs and stomach were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the knife, threw it far away, and shouted angrily: "You are crazy, if you can't think about it, you will commit suicide!" Is it easy for your parents to give birth to you, is it so easy for Grandma to pull you, you just die like this, what should Grandma do? ”

Ah Xinhua suddenly squatted on the ground, hugged her head and cried.

I don't know how long later, Ah Xinhua snorted, sat on the ground, and said pitifully with tears on her face: "My feet are numb..."

Cheng Hao could only sigh, sat on the ground, put her feet on his legs, and carried spiritual power with both hands to stretch her blood.

After rubbing it for a while, he said, "Don't you feel numb, right?" ”

Ah Xinhua spoke again: "I'm hungry..."

Cheng Hao was helpless, got up, and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Seeing that Ah Xinhua didn't answer, it was casual, but after all, it was because of her sudden intrusion, so she made such a fuss. More or less guilty, I washed my hands and lit the fire, and made a large table of dishes.

Seeing her stunned appearance, she wet the towel again, wiped her hands and face with a cat's face, hugged her to the stool, filled a bowl of rice, and stuffed chopsticks into her hand.

Ah Xinhua lowered her head and kept picking up rice, and her whole face was about to be buried in the bowl.

Cheng Hao had no choice but to take a pair of chopsticks again, and kept picking up vegetables.

Finally, after a bowl of rice was finished, his face was full of rice grains, and he said quietly: "I'm sleepy." ”

But she didn't move, staring at Cheng Hao stupidly.

Cheng Hao had no choice but to wipe her clean, pick her up, come to the bedroom on the second floor, put her on the bed, and cover the quilt. Ah Xinhua closed her eyes and fell asleep.

wiped a cold sweat and said secretly: This girl won't be stimulated and become stupid directly.

However, seeing her like this, Cheng Hao could only sit on the edge of her bed when he dared to leave. Suddenly saw the red line on her snow-white neck, sighed lightly, used spiritual power, healed her, and didn't leave a scar.

Then he took out the painting given by Xia's father, took it out and looked at it carefully word by word, figuring out what kind of medicine was sold in Xia's father's gourd.

And the Xia family is making a fuss.

Xia's mother stepped on the chair with one foot, grabbed Xia's father's ear with one hand, held a book of Chu Ci in the other hand, slammed it on the desk and said, "You come and tell me, what is in this "Tianwen"! The little couple is awkward, what are you old things mixed with!

Look at it, you see, the daughter is stuck in the house every day to paint, and the future son-in-law is alone and wandering outside, what do you say you have a heart. Let me tell you, today you have to tell my mother clearly, what is in "Tianwen"! ”

Xia's father looked flattering, and kept saying good things and begging for mercy, but Xia's mother was really moved today, and she would never give up if she didn't say one, two, three.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and the two hurriedly looked, it turned out to be Xia Ling, who was wearing a sky blue nightdress, leaning on the knock on the door frame.

Xia Ma was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "Erbao, why did you come out, are we making too much noise and arguing with you." ”

Xia Ling rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, my dad didn't do anything wrong, why did you bully him." He is also well-intentioned and thinks about your daughter's future. ”

Xia Ma looked confused, what is it? Why does this "Tianwen" involve her daughter's future?

couldn't help but loosen the strength in his hand, and after Dad Xia felt it, he immediately stood up like a spring breeze, and said happily: "That means, my baby daughter, I have come to my senses?" ”

Xia Ling couldn't help blushing, nodded, and hummed lightly.

Dad Xia suddenly kept his waist up, and laughed with both hands in his waist: "It's really worthy of being my daughter!" ”

Xia's mother looked confused, and she had a feeling that her IQ was despised, so she couldn't help but get angry, and slapped the table violently, which scared Xia's father into a thrill, and her waist bent down involuntarily.

Xia Ling stroked her forehead and sighed lightly: "Mom, don't be so rude, okay." My dad doesn't get angry with you, he lets you do everything, that's because he loves you and loves you. ”

Xia's mother blushed, and her daughter said that the relationship between the two was indeed a little embarrassing, and she couldn't help but glance at Xia's father, who nodded and smiled, and a sweetness welled up in her heart.

Xia Ling said again: "Tianwen", the full text is 374 sentences, 172 questions. Ask about heaven, earth, man, the universe, life, history, myths and legends... I asked so much, but in fact, I only asked one. ”

Xia Ma couldn't help but pick up Chu Ci on the table, flipped to "Tianwen", and quickly browsed it. In fact, in the past few days, Xia Ma has turned over it several times, and she really can't understand the twists and turns in the stomach of cultural people.

couldn't help but say loudly: "172 questions, only one question?" ”

Seeing Xia's father's relieved smile, Xia Ling nodded and said, "Qu Yuan asked so many questions with 172, so who did he ask to?"

Heaven, earth, man, all things in the universe?

Actually, no, Qu Yuan only asked one person questions from beginning to end. And that person is himself. On the surface, he is asking about the whole world, but in fact, he is asking about his own heart.

Combined with Qu Yuan's life and the background of the times, it is not difficult to speculate that "Tianwen" is Qu Yuan's questioning and self-consolation of his own ability after his career was disappointed.

And my dad's intention, I guess, is to make the two of us ask ourselves in our hearts, what we really like about each other, and what we really love about each other. Don't be dazzled by the temporary sweetness in front of you... With a calm, questioning heart, observe our feelings.

Many things will happen in the future, will we both be willing to bear it together, will we regret it with each other... It's all unknown.

Ask the heavens and ask the earth about the past, ask him about himself, ask about the future. Only by understanding one's own heart and his own intentions can we treat each other sincerely, rely on each other, and never... Abandon!

Thank you, Dad! ”

As he spoke, he threw himself into Xia's father's arms and sobbed. Dad Xia patted her back with a relieved face, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, the child had really grown up.

Xia Ma couldn't help but say loudly: "That... What about Xiao Hao? ”

Xia Ling said firmly: "I believe in him, I will see it." I'll wait for him! ”

Dad Xia looked at the teary-eyed Xia Ma, stretched out a hand to her, and hugged the two people closest to him in his arms, the warmest happiness in the world is nothing more than this...

Cheng Hao, who also shed two lines of tears, rolled up the text again and put it away, it can be said that he is the luckiest to have such an elder.

No wonder people often say that family heritage. Xia's father's hand shows the wisdom of a scholarly family and the elderly, which is really high!

Raising his hand to wipe away his tears, he suddenly saw two big eyes in the gap wrapped in the quilt out of the corner of his eye, staring at himself without blinking.

Turning her head to look over, Ah Xinhua panicked and blocked the gap with the quilt.

"You... Okay? ”

Cheng Hao asked softly, but did not reply. So he grabbed the quilt with one hand and gently pulled it down, and Ah Xinhua immediately flipped over there and curled up in a ball.

Cheng Hao didn't force her, covered the quilt, and told her again. I just wanted to come to Grandma, but I didn't expect to encounter that scene, it was really an accident, I hope she doesn't take it to heart, and don't think about it.

Ah Xinhua sat up suddenly, and the appearance of her hair was scattered, which startled Cheng Hao.

A pair of cold eyes stared at Cheng Hao, which made him a little hairy. Maybe he didn't want to see himself, so he laughed and prepared to quit. As soon as she walked to the door, Ah Xinhua said, "Come back!" ”

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to the bed to sit down, Ah Xinhua looked at him and said, "I want to go out to play." ”

Cheng Hao thought about it, nodded and agreed.

Then Ah Xinhua was happy, and ran to wash it. Cheng Hao shook his head and secretly warned himself: She is a sister, a sister.

In three days, he took her to chase the wind, compete with the eagle too high, pass through the white clouds, and see the rainbow. I've walked on the waves, spent the night in the belly of a whale, rode a shark to the sea, learned to walk in Antarctica, sang a mountain song on the summit of Mount Everest...

The girl finally returned to normal, and the joy and laughter along the way did not stop. She said that she had never had such fun since she was a child.

After playing for three days, Cheng Hao took Ah Xinhua to a hill, looked at Ah Xinhua with a smile like a flower, and said: "Okay, I'll take you wherever you want to go, and next, let's also have three chapters of the law." ”

"1, the events of that day were purely accidental, and you have to forget it. 2, I am your brother, you are my sister, my girlfriend is your sister-in-law, maybe I will bring her next time. 3. In the future, you should do more housework and honor your grandmother. ”

Ah Xinhua was slightly displeased when she heard this, in fact, she had already guessed it, but she still nodded with a smile and agreed.

Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, finally settled down, and then smiled: "Sister, let's go, go to Grandma." ”

Ah Xinhua suddenly ran to a cave with a happy face, and kept shouting: Grandma.

Maybe she ran too fast, her eyes were moistened by the wind, and a tear crossed the corner of her eye, but she quickly wiped it away, stopped, and turned around to complain to Cheng Hao: "Brother, hurry up, why are you so rubbing." ”

Cheng Hao responded, and he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. There are some things, as long as people are not stupid, they can feel it. Strangling something in the cradle in time, although it is a little cruel, it is also the best for everyone. Man, don't be too greedy...

Entering the cave, the haggard grandmother was arranging some formations.

Hearing the voices of the two, she stopped what she was doing and lovingly touched Ah Xinhua, who was nestled on her shoulder.

Seeing Cheng Hao who followed behind, Ah Xinhua left Grandma's arms and said, "I'll make tea." So saying, he ran to the side, ready to go.

Cheng Hao saluted and said: "Grandma, the kid took the liberty to visit, please forgive me." ”

Grandma smiled, reached out and grabbed Cheng Hao's hand, walked to the stone table in the cave, sat down and said, "Ah Hao, I'm out with Grandma." You are looking for me, there should be something urgent, say, while my old bones can still help you. ”

Cheng Hao told the details of the same nightmare he had twice.

Grandma's brows were furrowed tightly, one hand on the stone table, and her index finger tapped the tabletop, obviously in thought.

Cheng Hao's heart sank when he saw this, and an ominous premonition came to his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb Grandma's contemplation. Ah Xinhua, who was stunned on the side, didn't dare to breathe, looked at his back worriedly, and bit her lip.

After a long silence, Grandma spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, this may be a reappearance of the memory fragments of your previous life. The biggest difference between the spirit host and ordinary people is that there are a large number of soul fragments in the soul that are entangled with the guardian spirit.

There is a very small chance that the Guardian will activate these associated Soul Fragments when they recognize their Lord. Under some special conditions, memory reproduction may occur. ”

Cheng Hao frowned, according to what Ran Min said: He stayed in the blood-colored purgatory for more than a thousand years before entering his body. How do you get entangled with your past life?

Thinking about it, except for Ran Min and his eldest brother, who is his ancestor Kuafu, there are some entanglements. But that's also in the Scarlet Purgatory.

Wait a minute! I had entered the Scarlet Purgatory in the first place, and if Kua's father had given him some soul fragments, he might not have been... Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.

But what does it have to do with Xia Ling? Why is she in the nightmare?

Grandma said in a deep voice: "Anyway, from your dreams, you can feel that this is not a good thing. Even... will turn into your inner demon! ”

Cheng Hao was taken aback, although he had a faint premonition, his heart still sank.

There was a sudden sound of porcelain colliding in a hurry, and it turned out that Ah Xinhua almost dropped a few teacups on the ground.

Cheng Hao said: "Then grandma, is there any way to solve this demon?" ”

Grandma squinted her eyes and said, "The best way is to leave her and start a new life." If you don't have entanglements, the chances of triggering the special conditions of the fragments will be greatly reduced, and time will erase everything. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Hao, who was like being struck by lightning, turned pale, and couldn't help shaking his lips and said, "Grandma, is there only one way?" ”

Grandma glanced at Ah Xinhua, who was stagnant over there, and said, "Unless you dissolve your relationship with the guardian spirit, I am helping you cut off this part of your memory." In the parasitic state, I can't remove it. ”

Cheng Hao closed his eyes in pain, he had already felt the restlessness of Ran Min in his heart, and he was definitely the first not to agree.

His head was in a mess, and he didn't know how to get out of the cave, wandering in the mountains in despair.

Grandma and Xinhua looked at the departing Cheng Hao at the entrance of the cave, and Xinhua couldn't help but say, "Grandma, isn't there a third way?" ”

Grandma glanced at her and said, "Yes, unless he can defeat the demons himself." ”

"Then Grandma, why... Don't tell him? ”

Grandma caressed her face lovingly and said, "With your own strength, it is not easy to defeat the demons in your heart." For so many years, how many heroes have fallen at the feet of demons. Don't you want him to choose the first one? ”

Ah Xinhua suddenly stopped talking, and her heart jumped with a pop. No one can be a saint in such a thing as feelings. A pair of beautiful eyes looked into the distance, faintly expecting...

…

The night is getting deeper.

Xia Ling, who was dressed in a sky blue suspender nightdress, was on the balcony of the bedroom, leaning over slightly. Holding the oil paint in one hand, he changed the pen back and forth on the table next to him from time to time, concentrating on drawing on the drawing board.

Under the gentle light, the long hair that was casually tied back was scattered on the back. The bangs on the forehead, with the slight swing of the right hand when changing the pen, fell inadvertently, blocking the view. From time to time, use the end of the brush to pin behind your ear.

But in this way, it did not affect her deep thinking and concentration when painting, but added a bit of feminine charm.

Although there is a floor-to-ceiling white gauze curtain in front of the window, it can't stop Cheng Hao's gaze lying on the roof of the opposite building.

"Have you really figured it out?" Ran Min asked in his heart.

"Hmm. This trip to the Luhua Ancient Building in the Forest of the Empty God must be full of dangers, and I am not at ease. ”

"Well, I respect your choice."

"Don't worry, the current demon is still in the embryonic stage... In case someday in the future... I'll leave early. ”

Ran Min didn't speak, sighed lightly, in his eyes: The big husband is rampant in the world, how can he be restrained by a woman! I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out...
