333:Hand in Hand with You (+2)
The lonely moon and stars hung in the sky, sprinkling a faint moonlight, and the silent path was empty, and the sound of insects was heard from time to time.
Yin Zhou couldn't help but think of the scene just now, after Xuan Mi finished saying that, he felt that his heart seemed to be half empty, and the other party didn't wait for her to explain, a faint white light rose from his body, and then instantly transformed into a sword and flew into the sky.
He vaguely felt that the sword was somewhat familiar, but at this time, his mind was filled with the rest of the things, and he didn't have time to recall those details.
He wanted to go with the sword, and step forward to catch up with the light—he had always been very good at it, but now his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't exert the slightest strength.
Yin Zhou looked at the moonlight, and a sense of desolation arose in his heart.
He spread out his palm, and it was a slender flower, crumbling in the wind.
This flower was originally in Xuan Mi's hand, but then he turned into a sword spirit and flew into the sky, and the flower slowly fell from the sky.
He caught her, and remembered many years ago, when he also put a flower in her hand, and he still remembered the look of surprise in the other party's pupils at that moment, when he was the only one in her eyes.
In fact, Yin Zhou's memory has never been good, he has so many confidants, but now he can only remember very little.
But he still remembered how she felt for him.
Gentle.
Meticulous.
And that day.
It was already difficult for him to paint all the details of that day, after all, some things had gradually become illusory in the bumps of the long years.
I vaguely remembered that he had drunk the wine too, and then went to look for her, and he whispered in her ear, sniffing the faint aroma of the tip of his nose, which made him can't help but get closer.
She didn't say much about the process, she only vaguely remembered a soft cloud under her, she seemed to sigh softly, and then hugged him back.
As for whether he was really drunk or fake, only he knew.
……
Pity.
Since then, all the past has been reduced to fragments, appearing like a curse in the middle of every lonely night.
Cycle, repeatedly.
Never end.
……
The night is long, but the day will come.
The morning light is faint.
When Mu Jiujiu got up in the morning, she found that the Fengyue Youmeng placed next to her was gone, and her heart flashed with suspicion, and then she looked around the room and found that Fengyue Youmeng was lying quietly on the table.
Strange, was she the one who left it here last night? But she seemed to be asleep yesterday, and it was Wen Yuan who brought her back - maybe he put it?
Remembering yesterday's scene, she covered her slightly red cheeks, so she put this little doubt aside.
After washing, Mu Jiujiu walked down the stairs, Wen Yuan was already waiting for her downstairs, the table was full of delicious dishes, the two looked at each other and smiled, she sat down to eat.
The surrounding markets are quite lively, and Mu Jiujiu plans to go shopping after dinner, and when he hears Yuan's meaning, it seems that something has happened to the Teng Realm, so they will go back soon.
After breakfast, they left the inn and walked forward in the sun.
Although there are relatively few trees in this demon world, the weather is indeed excellent, the sky is blue and extremely open, and the warm wind blowing in makes people feel as if they are embracing a cloud.
At this moment, the tip of Mu Jiujiu's nose smelled the aroma of flowers, she looked around, but did not find the spirit flower of the exhibition, but saw an old woman on the side of the street, selling something.
Mu Jiujiu took a closer look and found that the other party's basket was a Linghua cake, with a crispy crust, and the other party also decorated the crust with ingenuity, which looked delicate and delicious.
She bought two of them, handed one to Wen Yuan, and smiled at each other.
The fragrance is very fresh, and the taste is also good, Mu Jiujiu was tasting it carefully, and suddenly felt a flash of light in the storage ring, and a golden bear suddenly appeared on the top of her head, pulling her hair and saying, "Eat alone, why don't you buy me one soon." ”
"Heh, useless fat rat, you sold yourself, see if the other party will give it to you."
Dwan's obsidian-like little eyes rolled, and he turned to Wen Yuan beside her and said, "You buy me a cake, and I'll tell you a secret of Mu Jiujiu, such as it once called your name in your sleep, such as ......"
Before it finished speaking, it was carried in her hand by Mu Jiujiu, and she sneered: "You're not bad, don't go to the house for three days, you see that I won't pluck your hair for you." ”
"Woman, you're done, you've me off—"
Seeing that the battle of one man and one rat was about to break out again, Wen Yuan bought another cake and handed it to Dawn. His palms were white, and the wrapped spirit flower cake was still steaming in his hands, and he looked at the fluffy spirit beast with a somewhat strange expression.
"Thank you."
Dwan quickly took it from his hand, put a small paw under his eye by the way, stuck out his tongue, and made a "Golden Silk Bear Custom Grimace" at Mu Jiujiu.
Don't say it, it's pretty cute.
Therefore, Mu Jiujiu intends not to worry about this stupid rat for the time being.
This moment was originally calm and beautiful, but at this moment, Wen Yuan keenly felt a peeping gaze behind him, he turned his head to look, and saw an unexpected face in the crowd.
Qingzhan.
If there is any news on weekdays, the other party will send him a letter directly, and this time he came in person, there must be something important.
He shook his head slowly at Qing Zhan, signaling him not to approach first, and then turned to Mu Jiujiu and said, "You go shopping alone first, I'll come later." ”
"Ah, where are you going?" Mu Jiujiu was a little unhappy after hearing this.
"There's a little thing, I'll come to you when the time comes."
Mu Jiujiu wanted to ask another question, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in a blue and black robe behind him, who stood respectfully behind him, looking like his subordinate.
Hey, the man seems to be sneaking a peek at her.
However, at this time, Qing Zhan was silent on the surface, but a lot flashed in his heart - there was a girl beside the lord!
Indifferent, alienated, and unapproachable, the legendary lord with a habit of breaking sleeves has a girl!
What about the man he had spoken to in the Cloud Venerable Hall last time? It's really unexpected.
This girl seems to be quite familiar with the lord, the last time the lord suddenly instructed himself to investigate the font on a spirit jade crystal, this thing can't be this girl gave him, right?
Qing Zhan silently suppressed the eagerness in his heart, thinking to himself if he would wait for a while to set up something like that, what if this person became the future lady of the lord?
Mu Jiujiu naturally didn't know Qing Zhan's inner activities at this time, about Wen Yuan, she just wanted an attitude from the other party, and she didn't have to restrict his freedom, so she said hello to him and went to the market by herself.
"Wait." Wen Yuan suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Mu Jiujiu turned back.
He stretched out his hand and brushed the crumbs off the corner of her mouth, the sunlight fell on his jade-carved fingertips, fell on her clear gaze, and the dark hair robe was blown by the wind, vaguely contaminated with spring.
What a beautiful picture.
From the side, Dawn looked at Qing Zhan, trying to cover his eyes with her short paws.
……
Mu Jiujiu walked through the noisy crowd.
The flow of people on the street today seems to be greater than in the past, and many people have a surprise on their faces, and she is gradually infected by this emotion, and there is a little more pleasant smile on her face.
She was going to buy a sachet at a stall, but she heard the stall owner laugh and say, "Girl, you have to hurry up, I'll close the stall later." ”
"Why, it's so early?" Mu Jiujiu wondered, aren't these people in business?
"Doesn't the girl know, today's enthronement ceremony of King Yuxiang, we are all in a hurry to watch."
said that it was convenient, and hurriedly cleaned up the stall, looking eager.
Isn't King Xiangxiang Lu Yining? Mu Jiujiu was shocked when he heard this.
"Didn't you say before that the Demon King would be chosen between the Black Wing King and the Confused Fragrance King, why was it decided so quickly?"
"Didn't the girl get the latest news, the Black Wing King assassinated the King of Confused Fragrance was discovered, and the other party was killed on the spot...... If you want me to say, this is not bad, it is said that the Black Wing King used to poison his own sister, this kind of ruthless person, I don't feel at ease. ”
Mu Jiujiu sighed at the rapid change of the situation, but at the same time he was worried about Rong Lu. The last time she was "hijacked" by Lu Yining, according to Wen Yuan, it seemed that they had some agreement, but they hadn't seen her in the past few days.
You still owe me a bunch of demon coins.
She muttered softly.
Mu Jiujiu went all the way forward and followed the crowd to the place where the ceremony was held.
After waiting for a while, just as she was a little impatient, she heard cheers erupting around her.
The sound of ritual music sounded, and a bunch of spirit birds flew past in the sky, and a person dressed in a solemn robe walked slowly from a distance.
Lu Yining.
Mu Jiujiu raised his head and looked at the figure in the distance. Today's robe shows her tall figure very well, and the other party's slightly curly hair is tied up high, and there are intricate pearl and jade ornaments on it.
It looks heavy, and I don't know if she's tired from walking.
The emotions of the people around him were very high, and Mu Jiujiu knew that according to the previous practice, the new demon king would throw a personal spiritual weapon below and give it to the lucky person, who would have the honor to step forward and lead the demon king to the throne.
Mu Jiujiu felt that the situation was similar to the bride of their world throwing flower balls, but the flower balls became spiritual weapons.
At this moment, she was a little fugue again, if the spirit weapon thrown by the other party was a sword, and a few people were hung under it, what would she do.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen, Lu Yining took out a light spiritual weapon from the tray served by the waiter beside him, and raised it to a high place-
In the next second, the feather-like spirit weapon flew towards everyone, and countless people stretched out their hands to try to grab it, and the cheers were endless.
Mu Jiujiu didn't move, she simply enjoyed the lively atmosphere of this festival, the spirit weapon was like wings, in a colorful color, swept over the heads of countless people, turned in a circle, and then began to land slowly......
There was a crowded crowd around, and the emotions of countless people were ignited at this moment, Mu Jiujiu felt a little noisy, and wanted to retreat slightly, but the next moment, he felt that a light thing fell on his head-
The people around her immediately looked at her with envy and jealousy, and someone reached out to grab it, but the spirit weapon seemed to have life, and it was able to jump up automatically.
Mu Jiujiu stretched out her hand in a daze, and the thing landed on her palm.
It's beautiful, crystalline, and sparkles in the sun.
"It seems that this lucky person was born, this girl, please come forward and accompany the demon king through the journey."
A waiter saw this scene and shouted with a loud spiritual weapon.
At the high platform.
Lu Yining's robe was raised in the wind, and she looked at her, with a smile in her eyes.
Under the watchful eye of all the people, it seemed that turning around and leaving would cause an uproar at the scene, Mu Jiujiu hesitated for a moment, thinking that although she and Lu Yining seemed to be friends and enemies, the other party had indeed never hurt her.
It's an important day for her recently, so she'll go up and cheer her up.
Everyone gave her a way, and Mu Jiujiu slowly moved forward in the eyes of everyone.
Ahead, Lu Yi stood quietly, waiting for her approach.
Mu Jiujiu had a strange feeling in her heart, she felt that what had just happened was too much of a coincidence—but after thinking about it, how could Lu Yining see her at a glance in the crowd? Maybe it was really luck.
The road wasn't very long, but perhaps because of the special atmosphere at this time, she felt that time had been slowed down several times.
Finally, she walked up to the other party.
The man's eyes looked at her calmly, and Mu Jiujiu paused for a while, but finally stretched out his hand.
Lu Yining smiled, this smile was different from her usual smile, but really hooked from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were slightly curved.
She took the white and soft hands and stepped forward with her.
Offstage.
Countless people looked at the two women on the high platform, one of them was their new demon king, the other party was still young, her robe had a unique texture, and it was inlaid with ancient totems, which was the symbol of the demon king, the highest glory.
The woman who led her forward, the color of the dress was relatively plain, and the other party's whole person looked very clean and had an outstanding temperament, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
In front of them, the two of them have walked to the steps, and above the steps is the throne, and the next step is the demon king to take the stage.
On either side stood rows of guards, their waists straight, greeting their new king.
Lu Yining didn't have a particularly happy look in her eyes, she lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.
"Accompany me up?" She said softly.
The ceremonial waiter who was waiting at the foot of the steps listened, his face changed, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned over beside Lu Yining and said, "King, this is not in accordance with the rules, over the years, the new demon king has been on the stage alone, accepting the cheers of the crowd." ”
"The rules are broken, and I am now a legitimate successor, not even this small request?"
Lu Yining said this in a hurry, and it didn't seem that his emotions were affected, but the waiter felt that cold sweat soaked his clothes.
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Demon King, this tradition has continued for many years, and the minister is really ......"
Mu Jiujiu keenly felt that his name for Lu Yining had also changed, and seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, she said, "You go up, I'll wait for you here." ”
She thought to herself, if she could, she could also talk to Lu Yining about the mutated purple potato, after all, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, if this thing can be promoted, I don't know how many people who can't meet the needs of food and clothing due to poverty can be saved.
Lu Yining listened to her words, still without words, but the bottom of her eyes seemed to be a little gentle.
Step by step, she walked towards her own throne.
What she couldn't wait to get before, now that it was close at hand, her heart did not have the excitement she expected, but a sense of calm.
