Chapter 101: Transfiguration Again
After the three of them came out of the dream realm, they walked many more places, but they never found the last piece of soul fragment. But the deadline is getting closer.
The closer the time approached, the more flustered Mo Li's heart became. He didn't want to accept his fate, but he didn't have the ability to fight against fate. He hated his incompetence. He used to be conceited and ignorant, thinking that he was the son of heaven of the Shang Dynasty, so no one dared to disobey him. Now that he has lived a new life, he realizes how ridiculous and narrow-minded he used to be. In the eyes of all the gods, he is just a worldly joke. His Daji, for him, gave up becoming an immortal god, came to this vast world, looking for himself, just for a love that may not be available; And now, Nuwa Niangniang has pointed out the way to resurrect Taoyao, but he can't even collect the fragments of her soul.
Mo Li suddenly understood how Daji felt at that time. Obviously seeing her beloved, she is taking a road of no return, but she can't say anything, she can only press everything in her heart, and then let the opposite side of things, like the enemy army on the opposite side, pull in her heart, cut the wound, and bleed. He vaguely remembered that at that time, Daji would always be inexplicably swaying, and when he saw himself, he was smiling. He was in a happy moment with a beautiful woman, and he didn't notice the sadness hidden in her eyes. So at the last moment, I couldn't listen to her explanation. Maybe I gave her more time at that time, then this is not the situation now, and they will become an enviable pair in the Nine Heavens. Maybe at that time, he didn't decide to gouge out his heart, even if he can't remember the past in this life, he will still fall in love with her because of Tao Yao's difference. Instead of paying the price of her life after she was bruised all over her body. But the past is no longer traceable, so he thinks that with the resurrection of Tao Yao, he can have a lot of time, and he can start their future again. But now even the resurrection of Tao Yao has become a luxury, and the future of him and Tao Yao has become an unexpectedly dream.
Mo Li's increasingly lost and sad appearance fell in Ximei's eyes, and it became a wound burned in her heart. But she also had to carefully hide the wound and comfort Mo Li, "It's not the last moment, everything is not yet known, don't be discouraged." But only she knew that she actually wanted him to die, but she couldn't see him sad.
Yuqin also said on the side, "Yes, yes, don't give up." Let's go back to Fanghu Mountain and have a look. Although they had already searched everywhere before, maybe there was something missing. ”
Mo Li thought of the peach tree on Fanghu Mountain, and he didn't know how much it had grown taller, and what it looked like now. Thinking that it was a part of Tao Yao, he had never seen Tao Yao when he had not yet transformed, so it was just right to go and see it now. If, if his peach tree really can't be resurrected, he will guard the peach tree for the rest of his life. In the past, he felt that in this world, the way to eliminate demons and defend the road was serious, but now he feels that the so-called happiness is just a dull life with his beloved.
The journey back was very fast, and when they arrived at Fanghu Mountain, it was a good afternoon. They did not enter the mountain gate, but went directly to the halfway up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, they saw a peach tree more than a man high, already bearing fruit, and the warm breeze was blowing, swaying its branches lazily. Under the tree sat a young man dressed in white, and as if he were meditating, the peach tree stretched out its branches, touched his cheek, and giggled. Mo Li felt that the sunlight was so dazzling for a moment, and he closed his eyes suddenly, and something cool slipped from the corners of his eyes, dripping down his chin, and then fell into the spirit gathering bottle in his arms.
He knew that the man sitting under the tree was Qingfeng, and he wasn't sure who the peach tree was. Nuwa Niangniang had said at the time that if they couldn't gather the soul fragments to resurrect Tao Yao within the time limit, then even if the peach tree survived, it would become a new individual. Although the time limit has not yet arrived, it is only two days away. In such a short period of time, they may not be able to find it, because all the places they can find have already been searched. The Tao Yao, who has their common memories, I'm afraid I can't really come back. And now this peach blossom elf seems to be intimate with the Qing style, and he thinks that he is afraid that he will not be able to guard this peach tree for the rest of his life. Because she may not want to.
"Hey, where did you come from? Oh, I know you're trying to steal my peaches to eat. Hmph!" The peach tree elf noticed them, and because he was in a hurry, he whipped Qingfeng twice with his branch, "Brother Qingfeng, hurry, wake up, they want to steal my peaches to eat!"
After all, Tao Yao is still young, and she can't control her strength well, and it hurts to listen to that snap. Qingfeng stood up unconcerned and comforted her, "Didn't I tell you before, your senior brothers and sisters went to help you find the scattered soul fragments, they are Moli, Ximei and Yuqin." ”
"That's it, scare me!" Tao Yao let out a sigh as she patted her tree trunk.
Qingfeng turned to the three of them, "How are you guys, have you gathered?" The faces of the three people were not good, and Qingfeng also had a faint guess in his heart, but he still hoped that maybe the three of them were just too tired from the journey.
Ximei shook her head.
Qingfeng also thought a lot in the days when Xiao Taoyao woke up. Three mountains, five mountains, four seas and eight wildernesses, the vast world, it is not easy to find these eighteen soul fragments. If he really can't, he will take good care of her, which can be regarded as a peach in the end.
"Tao Yao ......" Mo Li looked at the appearance of Tao Yao who was vaguely visible on the tree, and those two words were like a stalk in his throat, and it took a lot of effort to say it. It's just that after these two words, even if a thousand words linger in my heart, I can't say it heavily.
"Hey, do you know my name?" Tao Yao looked ignorant and cute.
When Mo Li heard this, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. Could it be that Nuwa Niangniang was wrong at the time, even if she only has a part of Taoyao's body, she can slowly recover her memory.
It's just that the hope in his heart comes and goes quickly.
"Tao Yao, didn't I tell you before? Your former name was Tao Yao. ”
"Giggles, I really forgot. Do you want to eat peaches? I have peaches. ”
Mo Li and the others looked at Qingfeng with inquiring expressions, "What's going on?"
So Qingfeng told them roughly what Tao Yao had been conscious about more than a year ago.
At this time, Yue Yao and the others on Fanghu Mountain also hurriedly came when they heard the proclamation of the disciples under the mountain. When they knew that they still had one soul fragment left to collect, their eyes were also full of melancholy.
"Why didn't I collect it, the current Taoyao is simply too tormenting, I still like the former Taoyao little sister. Haoyue couldn't help but complain.
When they heard this, their faces were different.
Yue Yao, who was next to him, was so angry by her words that she stretched out her hand to his waist and pinched it mercilessly.
"Ahh
When he followed Yue Yao's line of sight and noticed Mo Li's expression, he realized his gaffe.
"Mo Li, don't worry, there must be another way. ”
"That's right, we've been looking around Fanghu Mountain for the past two days, maybe Senior Brother Qingfeng missed it. Ximei also echoed beside her.
"Impossible, we were looking up and down this Fanghu Mountain for three months, and we were three feet away from digging into the ground, there could be no omission!" Haoyue directly retorted.
"You!" Yue Yao was almost angry with Haoyue on the side, so she raised her leg vigorously and stepped on his foot. I've never seen such a stupid person, it seems that I have to think about the matter of double cultivation with him, this guy's IQ is too low, and it will be contagious.
Maybe it was because he believed Haoyue's words, Mo Li didn't look for it anymore, he just sat under the peach tree in a daze with the spirit bottle without eating or drinking, his eyes were empty and terrifying.
Yuqin scolded him, "Are you just giving up, there are still two days left, in case there will be a miracle." No, there will be!" Yuqin didn't believe it, she came to help Daji's sister reincarnate, but now she ended up in such a situation. She tugged at Moli's arm and tried to pull him off the ground, but to no avail.
Ximei is actually happy about this situation, but she doesn't know how to comfort her in the face of such a Mo Li. She thought maybe she would leave him alone and he would figure it out.
Qingfeng and Yueyao returned to the top of the mountain together.
Two days later, Mo Li was still sitting motionless under the tree, even in the same posture as Qingfeng when they left.
"Senior Brother Moli, today is the last day, don't do this, okay? Now that you already know that there is no way to change the facts, why do you still toss yourself like this. Even if Taoyao's soul is not extinguished, I will be disturbed when I see you like this. ”
Mo Li remained motionless, as if he had not heard it.
"You used to only see your sister, and now you only see Tao Yao, haven't you ever seen me by your side all the time?
Moli remained unmoved.
Ximei looked at Mo Li like this, and her heart was like a knife. Maybe he knew what he wanted, but he never put it in his eyes. She was nothing more than an irrelevant person to him. All the unwillingness and anger welled up in my heart. Ximei snatched the spirit gathering bottle in Mo Li's arms and threw it on the ground. The spirit gathering bottle shattered in response, and all the soul fragments in the bottle floated into the air, and then gathered together, emitting a dazzling blue light, turning around in the sky, and finally falling on Tao Yao. And at this time, it is not yet the time of the child.
Mo Li didn't even have time to get angry when he saw all this, so he saw Tao Yao suddenly turn into a human form and fall in front of the two. The eyebrows are picturesque, and the skin is like cream. He was dressed in a pink peach blossom shirt, with a green hairpin on his head, and a pair of brown embroidered shoes under his feet. Just like when Mo Li first met her in Fanghu Mountain.
