Chapter 77: Memories from Years Ago
The back mountain is a field that they have been familiar with and can no longer be familiar with, they have spent hundreds of years together here, day and night, the back mountain is the place they will come over every two days, and there is no place in the corner of the back mountain that they have not visited.
This place has too many memories of them, they have cultivated here together, they have gone into the water to catch fish together, they have played here together, they have also been in this kind of flowers and plants together, they have killed pests, and the familiar territory has evoked the memories of the two of them for a long time.
"Hongwen, that's where I used to practice." Zen Yi said, pointing to a clearing not far away.
"Yes, at the beginning, every time you cultivated, I was terrified."
"Hehe, I'm also anxious! So hard to cultivate, but the ability just doesn't rise, I can't break through the bottleneck, and my parents' revenge is still waiting for me to revenge, but I ....... ”
"I told you many times at the time, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I have to cultivate step by step, step by step, and I can't come in a hurry."
"......, Hongwen, thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many times I went crazy, and I still have me now." Zenichi's voice was a little choked in the night.
"Thank you, where do I need your thanks? I just want you to be okay. ”
"That time, in order to help me, you were seriously injured,......, I was terrified, I sent it at the time, and I will never force myself to practice again, causing you to be injured, I ......."
"No wonder you ...... later"
"Hongwen, that was the first time I was scared to death, I was stunned, if I took your name again in order to take revenge, then I would rather give up revenge."
"......, Zenichi?"
"Huh?"
"Am I important to you?"
"Yes, it's important, it's important."
"Huh! How important is it?"
"Well...... I don't know, it's very, very important anyway, and no one in the world can compare to you."
"Zen one?"
"Huh?"
"Are you happy with me?"
"Happy! Don't worry about things, just eat and drink, don't use your brain, anything, you can solve it, how easy and happy I am!"
"Anything else?"
"Something else? What else?"
"For example, when you're with me, sometimes your mentality accelerates for no reason, and you especially like to be tired of being with me?"
"Yes, yes, it's best that we don't separate all the time, like Siamese brothers, where to go?" Zenichi said happily.
Hongwen sighed secretly and thought: Zen Yi hasn't opened his mind yet! It's a vain question to ask, it's too clear to ask, maybe it will scare him away, but the gains outweigh the losses, wait a minute, so many years have passed, there is no reason to be impatient now.
For the next stretch of the road, the two did not speak again, first, they were a little tired, and second, they should be almost there.
Sure enough, within five minutes, the two of them came to the place where the jade bone flower grows, where there are a few scattered plants, and the two of them are in the moonlight, and they can see the faint white light on the flowers.
"Hongwen, isn't that the Jade Bone Dew!" Zenichi said excitedly, pointing to the dew drops on the flowers.
"It should be, it looks like the hour is almost up, take out the glass bottle, let's start collecting!" Hongfu said as he regretfully let go of Zenyi's hand, and the reluctance in his heart made him speak a little low.
"Oh......", looking at the let go of the hand, Zen Yi pursed his lips, extremely unhappy, unwilling to take out the glass bottle in his arms, handed it to Hongwen, and the two carefully collected the jade bone dew.
One drop, two drops ......, a total of five drops of jade bone dew were collected, and not a drop was wasted, but unfortunately the five drops of jade bone dew were almost invisible in the glass bottle, and they could only see that the bottom of the bottle was a little damp.
"Okay, don't be discouraged, at least we've started, always progressing." Looking at Zenichi's slumped shoulder, Hongfumi patted his head and said.
"I also know, I'm a little anxious, but it's okay, I have you with me!"
Thinking that Hongwen would always be with him, every night, he would hold his hand and walk in front, Zen Yi was energetic again, but he didn't expect that the days of the two of them together were so short, and what would be left to him would be endless thoughts, pain and loneliness.
"Don't worry, I'll always be with you." Hongwen also swore an oath, but he didn't expect that this was the only time he broke his promise to Zen Yi.
"Oh, you take the bottle, I'm afraid I'll accidentally fall." Zen handed the glass bottle to Hongwen.
"I remember, in addition to the jade bone flower, there should be soul grass here!" Hongfu said as he put away the bottle.
"It seems that there is, what do you want the soul grass for?" Zenichi asked curiously.
"You! Have you forgotten that soul grass has the effect of repairing the soul? ”
"Yes! What's wrong?"
"Sapphire's soul is incomplete, if we summon its other two souls back from the afterlife, then we will inevitably need soul grass to repair her soul, so that these three souls can fit together perfectly!"
"Oops! Why didn't I think about it, yes, yes, hurry up and look for the soul grass, I remember that it was not far from the jade bone flower. Zen Yi immediately circled around the jade bone flower.
"Zen one, be careful!" Hongwen suddenly shouted.
"Snort" sounded, which startled Zen Yi, he looked down and looked, wow, there was a palm-sized spider lying at his feet, which had been hit by Hongwen's Five Elements True Qi, and the Seven Absolute Deaths.
"Hongfumi, what is this?"
"Soul grass is very helpful for cultivation, it can repair the cracks between the souls caused by cultivation, so it will attract a lot of cultivating spirits, just now that is the spider spirit that is cultivating, and it has not yet produced spiritual intelligence, so when I see you coming, I instinctively attack."
"That's it! Then when you gave me the Soul Picking Herb before, weren't they all attacked, that's why you know so clearly!"
Zen Yi suddenly remembered that there was a time when Hongwen was poisoned for no reason, if it wasn't for the lord casting a spell to save him, it is estimated that he would not be able to wake up, that time, there seemed to be a shadow of soul grass, and now it seems that it was caused by a sneak attack because he picked soul grass for him.
"Well, the first time I came to pick it, I didn't pay attention, I was attacked and poisoned, but it's okay, the lord quickly cured me." Hongwen was afraid that Zen Yi would feel guilty, so he said lightly.
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't gone mad in my practice and my soul was damaged, you wouldn't have come to pick the soul grass to heal me."
"Okay, okay, it's all old things, and it's not a big deal, it's worth your left thank you, and I'm sorry, we are friends in life and death, this little thing, why worry about it, come, hurry up and pick a few soul grass, we can go back!"
"Oh!"
"You pick it, I'll watch to see if there's any danger around."
"Hmm."
Zenichi bent down and carefully uprooted the soul grass, and Hongfumi was engrossed in injecting the movement around him.
With a "snort", another spirit was destroyed.
By the time Zen finished pulling out the three soul grasses, there were already five or six spirit corpses lying on the ground, almost all of them were highly poisonous, and if they were bitten by one of them, they would probably have to return to the Wuxu world in advance.
"Three is enough, come, wrap it in this cloth to prevent the loss of essence, and I'll deal with it when I go back." Hirofumi took out the cloth in his arms and handed it to Zenichi.
"That's it." Zenichi wrapped the soul grass and handed it to Hongfumi, who took it into his arms, took out the handkerchief, and wiped his hands clean for Zenyi.
"Alright, let's go back." After Hongwen put away the veil, he habitually walked forward again, stretched out his hand to Zen Yi, Zen Yi did not hesitate at all, happily held Hongwen's soft hand, like a child who was pampered by his parents, obediently followed behind Hongwen without landing.
The two of them walked back without hurrying, the speed was obviously much slower than when they came, and the two of them, who didn't need to be in a hurry, quietly enjoyed the rare warmth.
During the day, the sun was shining, and Hongwen's secret feelings quietly hid in the dark corner of his heart, not daring to show a trace, for fear that he would be burned immediately after seeing the light. Only in this hazy moonlight, it dared to be bold, quietly popped up a little, secretly rubbed to enjoy the stolen sweetness, carefully in the bottom of his heart little by little aftertaste, the slightest sweetness made him want to stop, he hoped that this road could be longer, longer .......
Zenyi, who lacks roots, has never thought deeply about why he relies on Hongwen so much, why he likes to stay with Hongwen, why he likes to be cared for by Hongwen so much, why sometimes he blushes and his heart beats when he sees Hongwen, and some people always need time to precipitate in order to understand this feeling.
In the following half a month, the two went to the back mountain together several times, almost every time, Zen Yi always had some stubble, either his head was scraped by a branch, or he almost tripped over a protruding stone, or he was startled by an animal that suddenly came out of the grass, in short, accidents were frequent.
Hongwen saw that the road behind the mountain is really not easy to walk, during the day will take advantage of Zen to sleep, to clean up the road, where there is grass to cut the grass, there are branches in the way, the branches are cleared, the uneven place of the road is flat, the stones blocking the road are removed, in short, as long as the obstruction of the road is cleaned up, he is still on the side of the road interval distance, put a piece of fluorescent, although the brightness is not as good as the lamp, but in the middle of the night walking is still very eye-catching.
Hongwen has been busy for almost a month, this road leading to the back mountain finally let him open up, out of intuition, he always feels that he can't always accompany Zen Yi on this road, maybe one day Zen Yi needs to walk this road alone, that there is a good road to walk, without him to protect him, then this road can only be as smooth as possible, safe, easy to walk, he doesn't want Zen to be hurt a little bit.
