Chapter 237: Cocktails
The light illuminates the room, in stark contrast to the darkness outside the room, Zhang Yue stands on the side of the bed, closest to the junction of light and darkness, facing the darkness, leaving her back to the light. This was just the opposite of Ling Daozi's sitting posture, which made Yan Xi look at it and couldn't help but think of the old man who died soon.
"You should know that we don't like the set of things in officialdom, and we don't like to deal with those cumbersome affairs, is it really useful for you to bring us into that kind of place? Or are you really planning to come alone? Zhang Yue turned around, looked at Yan Xi, and said.
"You question me?" Yan Xi asked coldly.
Zhang Yue sighed: "I just don't understand, I have never felt your good impression of the Spirit Dao Alliance in you, in your heart, there is only the Mirror Division, not the Spirit Dao Alliance." But now you say that it is for the sake of rectifying the Spirit Dao Alliance, that you plan to accept this mess. I suppose you need to do something with the Spirit Alliance, right? ”
Yan Xi was silent, she didn't plan to say anything more, when it came to this, she believed that Zhang Yue already knew what she was doing this for. So, she didn't bother to explain. Zhang Yue was waiting, waiting for Yan Xi to tell him that it was not what he thought in his heart, and she had other explanations, but the reality was that Yan Xi was silent.
"You want to start a war in advance, use the power of the Spirit Dao Alliance, lead the entire Alien Spirit Realm, and slaughter it cleanly. You need a high status and power to be able to assemble enough power to achieve your dreams. Kill the demons! From start to finish, there's only one thing you want to do. Let everyone accept the Crossing Spirit, and you also hope that it will allow us to strengthen our strength more quickly and become your combat power, right? Zhang Yue said, opening her black and white pupils. The lens shook, and a fine crack appeared.
Yan Xi propped her hands on the side of the bed, raised her head, and looked directly at Zhang Yue's cracked lenses, "Yes." How? Worried I'm lying? All the soul power has been used? Want to peek into my heart? ”
Zhang Yue took off her glasses and closed her black and white pupils, "You don't disdain to lie, I naturally don't need to read your heart, it's just that I'm a little angry." I thought we were your comrades and partners, but now it feels more like your tools. It's our duty to get rid of demons, but ......"
"I'm sorry ......"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Xi's sudden words blocked everything that Zhang Yue wanted to say later. Yan Xi lowered her head, her long hair fell down, covering her face, but with those hands tightly tugging on the quilt by the window, it could be guessed that her current look must not be very good. Zhang Yue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but after all, she only made a few muffled sounds.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and raised his head again, with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand, I was too anxious." This mission was a great opportunity for me. I've been asking for it all the time, but I didn't get much each time, but this time, when he said he was willing to cross the spirit for us, I knew that I could get more from him, and even what I had always wanted. So, I should be on this mission. Ling Daozi wanted the nurse and Lao Hei to die, which I understood early on, so I was waiting for him to make a move, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. However, it doesn't matter, because I will definitely protect each and every one of you, and I will put forward the second condition to him while ensuring the safety of all the members of the Mirror Division, which is what I want most at the moment, the Spirit Alliance. That's all I'm going to do, I'm sorry, taking advantage of everyone. However, I have never regarded you as a tool, you will always be my comrades-in-arms, partners, and the most trustworthy comrades-in-arms and partners on the road of slaying demons and eliminating demons. I admit that I hate the demon clan, I hate every demon, and I wish that all the demons would die in the next second. But what I hope most is that I can welcome this day with you. ”
Zhang Yue leaned against the window and listened quietly, thinking of the blood-colored purgatory he saw in Yan Xi's soul power that day, and the Yan Xi who was holding the blood beads and refused to let go, his back was cold, and sweat seeped out of the pores of a single one, soaking his clothes, "My mother once said that the smarter a woman, the more terrifying, whether as a friend or an enemy, it will make you feel cold in your heart." Still, if I had such a woman as a friend, I wouldn't suffer. ”
"Is this comforting me?" Yan Xi smiled bitterly.
"Oh, no, because I'm not alone. Come in, what are you doing outside? Zhang Yue said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a crowd poured in. Yan Xi looked at everyone in a daze, a little confused, "You guys...... Did you hear it all? ”
Lao Hei blocked his eyes with his hands, but his fingers were forked, and a pair of black eyes lingered on Yan Xi's body shyly. Facing Yan Xi in a bathrobe, this is the performance that a normal man should have, not like Zhang Yue who can't be interested at all. The nurse, who noticed Lao Hei's small movements, shook her hand and slapped him with a palm.
"Xiaoxi, you put on your clothes first." Auntie said.
Yan Xi remembered that she was dressed a little sexy, so she hurriedly lifted the quilt, and the whole person shrank into the quilt, revealing only one head. Now, the boys' eyes won't be nowhere to go.
"Xiaoxi, we all heard what you said just now. I accept your apology, anyway, as long as I become an official, I can still draw and cook dramas with peace of mind. As for what kind of work, what kind of partners, I don't really care, I just hope that we can always be together, play together, make trouble together, fight together, it doesn't matter what identity it is. The rabbit said.
The aunt also chimed in: "Actually, there is no such thing as using or not using, haven't we always followed your instructions for so many years?" We trust you, so rest assured that you will make decisions for us. If you think this will not have a bad impact on us, then Lao Zhuang and I are willing to follow you. It is not contradictory that it is your dream and our duty to exterminate demons. ”
Zhou Qianying hid behind the end, only poking her head out, "I'm just a little budding new, I'll go wherever you go, don't want me." ”
In the end, Lao Hei and the nurse also smiled and expressed their attitudes, and did not say anything more.
"I promised you that unless Kagji is gone, I will always be with you, I am a man of promises." Zhang Yue said.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Yan Xi's first reaction was to pick up the pillow next to him and throw it over, and said angrily: "Then you scared me with a gloomy face just now, what do you mean, I was almost scared to death by you, and I thought that the mirror division was going to disperse." ”
Zhang Yue was innocently smacked, "I just want to ask clearly, besides, how can I have a gloomy face, do I have an expression?" ”
"The misunderstanding has been cleared up, so isn't it time to celebrate our escape from death? I've got all the champagne ready! Saying that, the rabbit had already lifted the champagne that he took out at some point, and when he was about to open the bottle, he was pressed by Zhang Yue, "Xiaoxi is injured and can't drink, if you want to celebrate, drink milk tonight!" Zhang Yue shook the pure milk in her hand, "I still have sweet and sour, which one do you want to drink?" ”
Lao Hei snatched the milk from Zhang Yue's hand, looked at it carefully, touched his chin and said, "I remember that there is a cocktail that can be mixed with milk." ”
"But ......" Zhang Yue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Qianying.
"Everyone's happy, don't spoil the fun, besides, we're not ordinary people, just drink a little wine, don't get in the way!" Zhou Qianying whispered in Zhang Yue's ear. Hearing this, Zhang Yue had no choice but to compromise.
"That...... Can you go out first? I change my clothes? Yan Xi interrupted the crowd and pointed at herself.
Everyone woke up and left the room with an embarrassed smile. When closing the door, Zhou Qianying grabbed Zhang Yue and asked in a low voice: "I think Xiaoxi's bathrobe is good, why don't I wear it for you, okay?" "On the top of the mountain, the sun bloomed with a scorching golden light, illuminating the old man on the edge of the cliff. Behind him was a gloom, and in front of him was a light, and he sat alone, cross-legged, becoming the dividing line between light and darkness, facing the most terrible light, leaving posterity with a shade.
The old man's head was bare, only wrinkled skin, just like his face, like a rubbed rag, and his facial features were squeezed into wrinkles, full of traces of time. The only person who can cultivate here is Lingdaozi.
A month has passed, and today is the day to prepare for the spiritual journey. At this moment, it is the time of night and morning, and the sky outside takes on a gradient of color from dark to light, as if a new page is being opened.
Ling Daozi's eyes that had been closed for a month finally opened at this moment, his gaze was calm and distant, obviously ordinary black pupils, but they were as deep as the universe, at a glance, there was no end in sight, he saw a lot, and he didn't seem to see anything. He picked up the bamboo cane beside him and slowly got up.
Behind him, Yan Zhengqing had been standing for a whole day, wearing a straight black suit, which set off his already tall figure even more upright. He bowed respectfully to Ling Daozi, as usual, "Ancestor! ”
Ling Daozi walked up to him, looked at the man in front of him who bent his waist to almost the same height as himself, and smiled, "People will always die, it is more valuable for me to die like this, what are you sad about?" You are my student, you have been very well-behaved and obedient since you were a child, but until now, there is still one thing you just can't do. ”
Yan Zhengqing's throat rolled slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Where did the students not do a good job?" ”
"Learn from your good daughter, sometimes you need to be a little presumptuous. She dared to play with my beard at a young age, you grew so big, you are still sincerely afraid to see me, I actually don't like this at all. I wish you would stop my decision one day. Ling Daozi said as he walked forward, walked past Yan Zhengqing's side, and exposed the sunlight that had been blocked by him.
The light gradually shifted to Yan Zhengqing, and after a while, Yan Zhengqing became the junction, he faced the sun, his back to the darkness, just like Lingdaozi, his master. He straightened his waist and stared directly at the scorching sun, his eyes glowing with a hint of gold, "Ancestor, please stay." If you don't go today, how long will you live? ”
Ling Daozi was stunned, the bamboo cane stopped in mid-air for a while, and then fell, and there was a small circular pit on the ground, he didn't look back, but put one hand behind his back and continued to walk forward, "It's hard to say, but it should be possible to survive for ten years." ”
Yan Zhengqing took a deep breath, slowly turned around, looked at Ling Daozi's rickety back, took a step forward, and came to Ling Daozi in an instant, returning all the sunshine to Ling Daozi, "Ancestor, I still want to do my filial piety for you for ten more years." ”
"Hahaha...... Okay, okay, you've been a good baby for most of your life, and you didn't expect to stop me by not listening to me at this time. Very good, very good, I like it very much, this is what a young person should look like, this is what a leader should look like. Although there is only a year left for you, it is not too late, and you still have time to do something for the Spirit Alliance and do something for your daughter. Come on, stop me. I've waited so long for you to lose your temper with me, my good apprentice! Ling Daozi laughed insolently, and the laughter resounded above the cliff, blowing away the clouds and mist, drifting farther and farther along the wind.
Yan Zhengqing's hands hung down, his fists were clenched, and the alien spirit was running in his body, from the beginning of the blockade slowly became smooth, and in the end, it was more like a flood bursting the embankment rushing in the meridians, and the sound of waves crashing could be faintly heard, "Teacher, offended." The darkness was dispelled, and Yan Zhengqing himself became a round of sun, shining with golden light, completely illuminating this mountain cliff, competing with the real sun, and not falling into the wind.
Lingdaozi's hand stretched out to the golden light, a longbow slowly emerged, he hooked the bowstring and pulled it back violently, the thin arm contained unimaginable power, the string pulled the full moon, and the endless golden light condensed into an arrow between the two fingers, only to hear the sound of collapse, the longbow shattered, the arrow was shot, and in an instant, the two rounds of the sun were dimmed, and only that arrow was left between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a crescent moon rose flat, carrying the stars in the sky, and the night drove the day and occupied the sky, and the arrow of light became a meteor, which crossed the night sky and lit up the stars and the crescent. Yan Zhengqing came from the night sky, the moonlight and starlight fell together, and he turned into a pair of silver-white armor, which was engraved with all kinds of runes, at first glance, it was a distorted line, and then a closer look, it was the stars and the moon, and when I looked deeply, I found that it was the universe.
Yan Zhengqing's big hand was opened, his five fingers were like the pillars of optimus, and in the palm of his palm was the firmament, and he slowly slapped it towards Lingdaozi, imprisoning him with heaven and earth.
This is the duel between the strong, every gesture is the power of heaven and earth, and it has already transcended itself. Of course, there are also people in the world who have cultivated themselves to the extreme, and they disdain to use the power of heaven and earth, because for them, they are comparable to heaven and earth, or even more than heaven and earth. Lingdaozi is such a person. So his response was also very simple, holding the bamboo cane, and pointed at the palm of the hand, the tip of the cane bloomed with green light, the size of a grain of rice, which was completely out of contrast with the big hand, but he stopped the hand.
With a pop, there was a bloody hole in the palm of his hand, and blood splattered from it and sprinkled on the bamboo cane.
Ling Daozi withdrew the bamboo cane, didn't look at Yan Zhengqing, and continued to walk forward. The bamboo cane fell on the ground, pointing out a small hole with a finger deep, a little bit of bamboo shoot tip broke out of the small hole, poked out a small head, looked at this world full of war spirit, and then grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the road that Lingdaozi walked turned into a small bamboo forest. The bamboo was still rising, as if it would not stop, growing straight to the sky, piercing the sky, only to see pieces of ice-blue fragments falling from the void, and the world suddenly regained its clarity.
As usual, Ling Daozi blocked all the light with his body, and he walked forward firmly, his steps were very light, but he gave people a feeling that he could not be stopped. Yan Zhengqing was still standing in front of him, the distance between the two was getting closer, Yan Zhengqing's hands were hanging down, there was a blood hole in the palm of his right hand, which was transparent from front to back, it looked like a piece of flesh was missing, and the blood dripped onto the black suit pants, and there was a large pool of dark blood stains.
Lingdaozi walked to Yan Zhengqing's side, the sun shone on the two of them, as long as Lingdaozi took another step forward, Yan Zhengqing would face the big day, which meant that the handover between the two was completed. At that moment, Yan Zhengqing no longer had a chance to stop Ling Daozi's death. Therefore, Yan Zhengqing still made a move, he raised his injured right hand and stopped Lingdaozi, and a vibration sounded on the ground, setting off layers of earth waves, and thousands of dragons gushed out from the ground, roaring and flying in the smoke and dust, holding Lingdaozi to push him back to the cliff.
"Ancestor, stay......" Yan Zhengqing's voice was stuck, the bamboo cane was pointed at his throat, suppressing his last word, Ling Daozi was still standing beside him, and the rickety figure between the cliffs was gradually dissipating.
"Zhengqing, you can do these things, old man, I'm already very happy, but you don't have enough strength to stop me. Save your strength and bully those who can't beat you! I'm leaving. Ling Daozi withdrew the bamboo cane, and at the same time took a step forward, and all the sunlight on his back transitioned to Yan Zhengqing, dyeing him into a piece of gold, like a god and Buddha.
Yan Zhengqing closed his eyes in despair, put his hands behind his back, stood straight, and didn't say a word, only two lines of golden tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and fell to the ground, sounding a crisp voice.
And Ling Daozi's figure completely disappeared into the shadows.
After a long time, Yan Zhengqing took a deep breath, the wound in his palm had healed, and he walked the path that Fang Cai Lingdaozi had walked, until he came to the edge of the cliff before stopping. The sun burned him all over his body, and he couldn't open his eyes, and when he faced this alone, he realized how difficult it was. And Lingdaozi has been sitting on the edge of the cliff for a hundred years, basking in the sun for a hundred years. That's the gap.
Yan Zhengqing sat down against the heat, just like Lingdaozi, sitting cross-legged, in a trance, a gust of wind blew, he found that his black hair was mixed with a few white hairs, thinking that at the moment of crying, he was a few years older.
Since then, the figure sitting on the edge of the cliff has changed, no longer rickety and thin, but tall and tall, and wants a wall.
