Chapter 49: Rites
He turned around with a faint smile, picked up the head on the table and walked slowly into the depths of the room, the little doll ran in front of him and lit the lamp early, and the depths of the room lit up, and many heavy black iron coffins lined the entire wall. The little doll skillfully manipulated the mechanism on the ground, and the top black iron coffin slowly lowered, the iron lid was raised, and he carefully placed the head on the body in the iron coffin. Guizong tightened his palm, Chunqiu stood beside him, the iron coffin belonging to him opened, Guizong raised his hand and sent him into the iron coffin, with the iron coffin lid closed dullly, my heart was cold...... The black gauze curtain was lowered suddenly, and the little doll was doing the aftermath, and Guizong lifted the curtain and slowly walked towards me.
"Go back to the dormitory." He said.
I came to my senses, looked around, and confirmed to him, "You mean me?" ”
He took my hand and said as he walked, "Otherwise, who else." ”
The little doll ran out of the black curtain and jumped up, and she said to me excitedly: "Come and go with Lord Guizong, you must have a lot of whispers to say!" You must know another name of Lord Guizong, it is the King of Shenzhou who terrifies the heavens and the earth! ”
I shook my head with some wood, Lord of Shenzhou....... Returning to the Ancestors, Spring and Autumn ......
"Spring and Autumn is the puppet you painted, go find my puppet?" I asked Guizong and waited for an affirmation.
"You're already in love with him, are you in love with me?" He asked me with a faint smile.
The little doll covered her ears and grinned and rushed out of the door, and only me and Guizong were left here.
"You know the cause and effect of the incident. Do you still have any questions? He smiled slightly, but there was always a sense of shock and oppression, which made me dare not speak freely......
"I've been in Hongchuan for a thousand years, just to repair my soul?"
"Naturally. The aura of heaven and earth gathers nine springs, which is enough to condense a soul...... Don't you want to? ”
"I am only a sacrifice, and you are not short of sacrifices. Why did you go to such great lengths to get my soul back? ”
"Yes, I don't lack sacrifices, and the snow spirit flowers on the Black River are all made of sacrifices...... But when your body falls here, it can't turn into a snow spirit flower...... It doesn't matter if the Nine Springs Gathering Spirits or the corpse doesn't melt, it's all because you don't want to die......," he smiled faintly and continued, "It just so happens that I'm also lonely, so I want you to be my companion." ”
"You..... You're too casual! I was so angry that I turned away from him.
"You fell in love with me first." He was a little proud.
"If I knew that Chunqiu was a puppet, I wouldn't have fallen in love with him!"
"Your mind is simple, and besides, you can't see through anything...... Even if you are given another chance, you will still be tempted by him, no, me. He walked around to me and said quietly.
I crossed my arms and didn't look at him, pretending to be angry.
At this time, he conjured a piece of red yarn out of nowhere and gently covered my head.....
"What are you doing?" I raised my hand to tear the red veil off.
At this time, he held my hands tightly.
"Now I cover your face...... You can't see my face, I can't see your face, do you still want to see me now? His tone seemed serious.....
I hesitated, because I couldn't resist Chunqiu, Chunqiu was a puppet of Guizong, and every move was manipulated by Guizong, are Chunqiu and Guizong the same person? I'm torn over.....
"I'll count three times, and you give me an answer. Three ....."
"Yes!" For some reason, if I don't answer him, I may never see him again......
He breathed a sigh of relief, lifted off the red veil, and said to me with a smile, "Etiquette ....."
"What?" I didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and I couldn't keep up with his thoughts.....
He took me by the hand and left, and we walked on the covered bridge to another palace, and it was raining outside, and it was like a cold needle, and it was cold...... The rain dripped down the black eaves and into the snow flowers, stabbing out one bloody hole after another......
"What if I just said I don't want to?" I asked as I stole a glance at him.
"I'll send you back to the Celestials as if nothing had happened. Life and death are up to you. ”
My hand curled up in his hand, clenched slightly: "Why do I think you're threatening me....."
"You can feel that I'm threatening you, it seems that you are very disappointed in the world......"
I lowered my head and suddenly remembered the days when I was still in the Celestial Race: "There is nothing in the world that can be cherished or protected except for my brother...... I can't have imagined that they could be so malicious ..... a piece of waste."
"There is evil in the heart that cannot be removed, so it has to be suppressed. A waste will not repay these malices. Because he is not capable, and sometimes he is not qualified to ....." He understated the coldness of the world.
"Thank you for helping me kill Bai Yu, and thank you for being willing to avenge a waste......" I couldn't thank him enough.
But he just smiled faintly and said, "I just asked Chunqiu to go to the Heavenly Race to find something." Saved you by the way....."
I was grateful and my expression faded immediately..... As soon as his hand loosened slightly, he immediately grabbed my wrist: "You want to live so much, even if I don't deliberately save you, you will do your best to find me." ”
"I'm not important, so I'm desperate to hold on to any reason and any chance to live, but I'm more eager for someone to hold on to me...... So I can't let go of my brother, and I can't let go of Spring and Autumn...... The world fights for life and death has nothing to do with me, as long as my brother lives well, Spring and Autumn ......" I raised my head and looked at Guizong, and said with some embarrassment: "As long as you, live well." ”
"Now that the past is gone, it doesn't matter. Now you are my wife, and you are of one heart with me. If you want me to live well, then you can live well. ”
He smiled and took my hand and continued to walk forward.
I covered my hot face with my other hand and whispered, "When will I become your wife?" ”
"A piece of red yarn, two hearts promise, isn't it enough to prove it?"
That's when I realized what he meant...... I blushed suddenly, and I couldn't even notice the slightest cold in the freezing rain......
His so-called dormitory was the room where I woke up......
"This vast Shenzhou is boundless, are you the only one?" I asked curiously.
"Now you're asking about your family?"
"Why, I'm just curious!" I lowered my head and stared at my toes, a little panicked and overwhelmed.
He sat at the table, sipping a cup of hot tea with the petals of the Snow Blossom running through it.....
"There is only me in Shenzhou, and there is a spiritual creature cultivated by reincarnation grass, named Xiaoxiao."
"And what about the weirdos with strange wings?"
"The puppet, called the Heavenly Machine. Inspect Shenzhou for intruders. ”
"That'...... What about the dragon and phoenix ghost Jiao? Aren't they also guarding your Shen Zhou? ”
"The dragon phoenix ghost Jiao has always been."
"Where?"
He gently put down the teacup, his transparent lips stained with a few traces of blood, he approached me with a slight smile, and gently pinned the hair scattered on my forehead behind my ears with his warm hands, and by the way, he took off the nine-bead ring around my neck: "On the wedding night, are you going to waste time on these boring questions?" ”
His face slowly approached mine, my heart was beating wildly, my face was red like a fire, I pushed him away, snatched the nine bead ring with all my might, and sat on the ground slowly leaning against the door with my face covered, trying my best to calm down......
"The nine-bead ring is my personal thing, and I want to take it to find you in the spring and autumn." He approached me, and the black shadow obscured me......
I held the nine-bead ring in amazement...... It all happened a little suddenly: "I...... I'm not ready, I still have a lot of questions....." I looked up at him, but he didn't wait for me to finish all the questions, he carried me to the bed, his chest was hot, his eyes were staring at me, I was nervous and wanted to jump out of bed and run away, but his whole body pressed against me...... The heartbeat could no longer be controlled......
"I just woke up...... We've only just met......"
He leaned close to me and whispered, "You and I have been together for 10,000 years, and I won't wait any longer." ”
His hot chest pressed against mine, and at that moment the coldness of my body receded, and I knew that all this was not a dream. It seems that I really realized at this moment that there is temperature in life, and the world is not void and imperceptible...... I closed myself and watched everyone's birth, old age, sickness and death coldly, and at this moment, I really wanted to bring out my heart, and then sincerely hoped to live a flesh-and-blood life with a person.
Late at night, the rain stopped, and the white lights in the room were almost burned out.
