Chapter 36: The Valley of Hundred Flowers
Going around and around, the fate chart of cause and effect, Zhong Xuanjue still couldn't escape from death, and he finally realized the wish of his parents and ended the tragedy of the Zhong family with his own hands.
But the difference is that in his end, the Zhong family has no future, even if it is Zhong Yili, who is an adopted son.
In fact, Zhong Yili fought for his life, in exchange for nothing more than to let Zhong Xuanjue live, for which he distorted his mind and gave up too much, but unfortunately, even this long-cherished wish of carrying countless lives now only has a broken ending.
Le Zheng Ancestor is too vicious, his methods are extreme, and there is the intention of breaking the net, Zhong Xuanjue's body, the medicine stone is ineffective, and he can't support it anymore, he can't live for three days.
And he knew that he was helpless, and he had no business in his heart, so he finally accompanied Zhong Yili together, jumped off the South Styx Mountain, and returned to the netherworld.
Kwai Fan'er stood on the top of the South Styx Mountain for a long time, she looked at the red snow, and finally couldn't bear to look at the cliff, although the abyss, the person who fell was long gone.
There was a sudden pain in her wrist, and when she looked up, she realized that there was an extra blood mark at some point. Maybe it was accidentally injured in Fang Cai's confusion, and she ignored it when she was nervous, and she didn't care about it when she thought about it.
Before leaving the South Styx Mountain, she passed by the house of the Le Zheng family again, and met Le Zhengduo again, he was standing in front of a messy Gu Pavilion, I don't know what he was thinking, when he saw Kwai Fan'er, he gestured to her, and told her that in the future, the Le Zheng family would move out of the South Styx Mountain, and from then on live in seclusion and not ask about the world.
Aoi said goodbye to him, remembered something before leaving, walked into the Chaos Pavilion and rummaged through the ruins, and finally found the smashed mask. The smiling fat doll mask had been turned in half, but she still picked it up, and with the red snow lotus, she hugged it in her arms and left.
After she staggered down the mountain alone, Ah Ran and the eagle guards had already woken up, and when they found her missing, they hurried over and greeted Kwai Fan'er who was going up and down the mountain.
"Ah Fen! How can you come here alone and not get hurt, right? Ah Ran got off the horse, and hurried to Kwai Fan'er's side, and saw that she was disheveled and bloodstained, and immediately looked her up and down nervously, for fear that she would be injured.
"I'm fine, Aran, it's all over." Kwai Fan'er smiled bitterly, her hands and feet were already trembling, but she still managed not to fall, "Ancestor Lezheng is dead, Zhong Xuanjue and Zhong Yili are also dead......
"What the hell is going on?" Ah Ran was naturally nervous about her, but she didn't know what was going on on the South Styx Mountain, she just woke up and saw the dense fog around the South Styx Mountain disperse in Sanhe City, and knew that something must have happened, so she led the Eagle Guard to hurry over, but when she arrived, she was told by Kwai Fan'er that it was over.
Kwai didn't want to tell Ah Ran to make her sad, and since the matter was over, let it be buried here.
She didn't say it, and when Ah Ran saw that she didn't want to say it, he didn't ask anymore, but just followed her back to Sanhe City.
After resting in Sanhe City for a day, Kwai Fan'er wanted to go back to Baikui Valley, she couldn't rest assured that Kwai Jingyue, he was so seriously injured, I don't know what happened now.
Baikui Valley does not allow outsiders to enter, so Kwai Fan'er asked Ah Ran and the Eagle Guards to go back to the imperial city first, and explain everything to Baili Disaster, she still has very important things to go back to Baikui Valley for a few days, and when everything is stable, she will go back.
Ah Ran didn't agree to Kwai Fan'er alone, but under Kwai Fan'er's persuasion, she finally reluctantly agreed and went back with Eagle Guard.
Ah Ran had already helped Kwai Fan'er pack her luggage before leaving, so she led the horse and went straight to Baikui Valley, she believed that Kwai Jingyue would definitely go back, except for Cangyu Palace, he had never been anywhere else, only there was his home.
The distance between Sanhe City and Baikui Valley is much closer than the distance between the Imperial Palace and Baikui Valley.
Located deep in the mountains and forests, the Valley is uninhabited and has a unique prohibition, which is not allowed to be entered by people who are not approved by the valley owner.
After a few months, Kwai Fan'er returned to this paradise and only felt nostalgic. Entering the Valley of Hundred Flowers, the neat medicine garden, and the verdant vegetable garden, all of which she took care of carefully.
The singing of birds, the scent of flowers, the green trees, the clear flow of springs, walked through it all, and came to the familiar wooden house, the door closed, silent, and everything here was the same as when she had left a few months ago.
Dismounted, Aoi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and reached out to push the door open.
The large room was empty, and the bamboo recliners beside the medicine stove were empty.
Kwai Jingyue did not come back.
Even so, she was convinced that he would return, and she cleaned every part of the hut as before, tidying up the medicine garden, tidying up the vegetable garden, and feeding the animals in the valley, and she continued to do this until he returned.
This was a full three months, during which she wrote several times urging her to hold the ceremony in time, and at first she only replied and delayed, but then she found that she did not want this posterior.
In the past, when she faced the position of Emperor and Empress Cangyu, she only felt that it belonged to her, and it was the Cen family and Cen Xijian who snatched it.
But when the hatred faded, she gradually realized that she might just be looking for an excuse. She didn't care about the high position, she just wanted to be the best for herself when she was a child, except for her mother, the boy named Ah Yun.
As for who Ah Yun is, she doesn't care at all, just because of the warmth, she wants to reciprocate.
When she was young, she promised that if she wanted to heal Ah Yun's voice, she would do it.
But being his queen seems to be just an accessory.
In these days in Baikui Valley, she was alone, facing this peach paradise, and quietly figured out a lot of things.
She doesn't love the hundred-mile tribulation, she just misses the warmth that Ayun gave her, and she has to fulfill her promise. Maybe she once liked Ah Yun, but after so many years, things are not people, and the hundred-mile catastrophe is no longer the same Ah Yun, what she has been guarding is nothing more than her own obsession.
And perhaps, what I have been asking for for for a hundred miles of tribulation is just the obsession that was once called "Fen'er".
And it is wrong to stick to the obsession in the eyes.
Kwai Fan'er finally wrote a letter to Baili to tell him his thoughts, rejected the position of queen, and hoped that he could also let go of his obsession and take back the emperor's edict.
After this letter was sent, there was no reply for a long time, and Kwai Fan'er felt a little guilty, after all, she had reversed herself and failed him in vain.
But this is a lifelong thing, and if she doesn't reject him, it will be unfair to everyone.
As March passed, the weather had turned cold, and Kwai Fan'er used hay to protect the vegetable garden and some medicinal herbs, and in a few days, the vegetables in the vegetable garden would need to be stored.
She still remembered that when she first entered the Baikui Valley, there was only a medicine garden here, and there were only some wild fruits and vegetables that could be eaten, and she didn't know how Kwai Jingyue survived.
Later, she worshipped him as a teacher, learned medical skills and Shennong's skills, and took care of all the medicine gardens in an orderly manner, and also opened up a vegetable garden and planted some vegetables by the way.
Looking back at the beginning, Kwai Jingyue, who didn't know about mundane things, really caused her a lot of trouble, except for medicinal materials, she was always helping her.
At that time, many people were helpless, and more of them couldn't cry or laugh, Kwai Jingyue did a lot of stupid things and made a lot of jokes.
Thinking about it, Aoi Fen'er's hand movement stopped, she looked back at the wooden house, and from the door, she saw the bamboo chaise longue that was still empty next to the medicine stove, and lowered her eyes.
"Master, where have you been?" For three months, she even had to wonder if Kwai Jingyue had suffered an accident and died in a different place. But there are deer following him, and the deer is so powerful, I'm afraid there are not many things in this world that can threaten him.
Today's wind was a little cold, and Aoi Fan'er was a little thin, and she crossed her arms to consider whether to go back to the house, or go and put on a dress and come out again.
Thinking like this, a thick cloak was draped over Kwai Fan'er's body, she was startled, and when she turned around, she saw a familiar smiling face.
"Why don't you wear more clothes, stand here and blow the cold wind, if you have a cold and have to be cured, won't you waste my precious herbs?" He laughed heartlessly, and said the same thing.
Kwai Fan'er looked at him stunned for a moment, only to feel that seeing him again after three months was no different.
She didn't understand what the difference was, and she didn't have time to think about it, and she couldn't help but smile at the moment when she put down a major event in her heart, "Master, you're back." ”
When Kwai Jingyue saw her smile, she felt warm in her heart, "The teacher is back, have you been waiting for the teacher to come back?" He immediately came to Kwai Fan'er's eyes, and the tips of the two noses were only a stone's throw away.
"Does Master still know to come back?" Kwai Fan'er's face became serious again, and she raised her hand to push him away, Xu was cold and cold, and the tips of her ears were slightly red, "That day, the Nanying Mountain suddenly disappeared, and there was no news for three consecutive months, and the disciples had to wonder if it would be Luli who would have done something to you." ”
"Luri?" Kwai Jingyue pursed her lips, "Luli will definitely not harm me, but this time the injury is more serious, so I found a feng shui treasure and recuperated for a few days, and now it's better, won't I come back~"
"How many days?" Aoi Fan'er looked at him indifferently, "What day does Master call March?" Ninety-one days have passed, why didn't Master simply not come back? ”
Kwai Jingyue took a step back with a weak heart, "Don't murder me, it's like you've done something wrong for your teacher......"
"......" Kwai Fan'er was dumbfounded, and the knuckles of the hand holding the cloak were white, obviously Kwai Jingyue was injured because of her, and with his physique, he had been recuperating for three months, so you can know how badly he was injured at that time.
Maybe there are some injuries that she can't see at all, and he is injured because of her, so what right does she have to resent him so much?
“…… Are the injuries all healed? Kwai looked at him quietly, his clothes were clean and neat, and there was no damage to him on the surface.
"Good ......" Kwai Jingyue suddenly stopped, her eyes turned twice, and she didn't know what the hell she had to do, "It's not good, Fan'er, the teacher's injury is still painful, help the teacher rub it~"
He hugged Kwai Fan'er coquettishly, and Kwai Fan'er naturally saw that he was deliberate, if it was normal, she would definitely leave indifferently, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered that he was bitten through the body by a python and stabbed by a puppet with a sword, and her heart trembled slightly, and she still didn't push him away after all.
