The formation outside the valley was removed.

This can only be Qiuqiu's own exit and withdrawal of the formation.

Guan Wei glanced in the direction of the valley again, and turned to leave. Dressed in black, he quickly melted into the inky night, never to be seen again.

Qiuqiu felt that she had only been in retreat for a few days, but when she glanced at the flowers and trees growing by the waterhole, she realized that something was not quite right.

When she entered, the tree had bloomed a tree, and the dense and heavy flowers made one wonder if the tree had used all the energy it had accumulated all its life to bloom this time.

But now the tree is bare, not to mention the flowers, not even the leaves can be seen.

Qiuqiu stood under the tree and raised her head, there were still a few scattered withered yellow leaves in the treetops, which were blown by the wind, swayed, and fell from the branches.

Qiuqiu stretched out her hand, and the leaf fell on her palm.

Dead leaves, which had lost their moisture, seemed to turn into pieces in her hands with the slightest exertion.

How long has it been?

Qiuqiu walked out, and at the entrance of the valley, there was a man standing there, a figure she knew all too well, and she didn't know how long he had been there.

Qiuqiu walked towards him, walking faster and faster.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Shi'er nodded.

Qiuqiu first smiled at him, and then asked suspiciously, "How long have I been in retreat?" The change of seasons surprised and blanked her.

Shi'er gave her the answer.

She was in retreat for a whole year and four and a half months.

Qiuqiu's eyes widened slightly: "Impossible, obviously only ......"

Only a few days later? She couldn't remember exactly.

But she also knew that Shi'er didn't have to lie to her.

She felt like it had only been a few days. Long nights, sunrise and sunset days. The deep waterhole reflected the sky, and she felt that only a few days and nights had passed, and at most a month and a half had passed, but how could it have been so long?

"This is your first retreat, and you'll know it later. That's a good thing. I'd love to have you stay in there longer. ”

Qiuqiu was speechless.

A year and a half of retreat was not a strange thing, but she did not expect such a thing to happen to her. In the past, the master used to retreat for several months at a time, and I heard that some of the senior masters even retreated for decades, waiting for the day they left the customs. The changes on the outside are almost vicissitudes.

Four months a year...... The change of seasons outside has already made Qiuqiu feel terrified.

When she was unconscious, so many long years had flowed from her hands, and she didn't realize it.

People always say that time is such a precious thing, that it is the most eternal and the most just. But Qiuqiu looked at everything around her and felt so frightened.

It seems that even time is not so reliable, as if someone has moved the hands of the dial with their hands, making time seem unpredictable and changeable.

What else in this world can we trust and rely on?

They walked all the way back, and Qiuqiu didn't say a word.

She leaned against Shi'er's back. Looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar in front of you. Even the long-lost Fengxian Pavilion appeared in front of him. She hadn't come back to her senses yet.

"You must be tired. Take a good break. ”

Qiuqiu nodded passively.

There are things she left behind in Fengxian Pavilion, Qiuqiu stood at the door and stopped for a while, the feeling in her heart was very subtle.

She felt like she was going to school. And then now it's out of school and back. Only a few classes and a few hours were experienced in between.

But the reality is in front of us. Rounding it up, she's been away from this room for a year and a half.

She felt as if she had traveled through more than a year.

It's really been that long? Qiuqiu touched the book she had only read halfway through on the bookcase, it was quite familiar, and she remembered how many pages and lines she had read. As soon as her fingers touched the page, she immediately remembered that the book had been separated from her for hundreds of days. Looking at everything in the room again, Qiuqiu sat down by the window.

She had embarked on this path a long time ago, but until today, she had not completely become accustomed to the changes brought about by cultivation.

Da Bai poked his head out of the window, and then jumped over to Qiuqiu with joy, all the way to her lap.

Qiuqiu hugged Dabai and watched its excitement and attachment.

She felt that she had only been away for a few days, but for Dabai, she had been gone for more than a year.

Qiuqiu touched its soft fur and twisted its ears as smoothly as before.

"I'm sorry, Dabai."

If she had known that a retreat would take that long, she would have given Dabai more and more thoughtful arrangements.

Erbai took the little furballs to peek out the window.

No, you can't call them little furballs. They have grown up a lot, although they are not as exaggerated as Da Bai Erbai, but in the time that Qiuqiu left, they were all adults, and a pair of jewel-like red eyes were looking at her. They formed a circle around her, huddled next to each other, indescribably close.

Erbai put Qiuqiu's hand on his head and motioned for her to hold it, and the intention to compete with Dabai for favor was obvious.

Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing: "Dabai, your daughter-in-law eats your jealousy." ”

Surrounded by this pile of spirit pets, Qiuqiu finally had a feeling of returning to reality.

When Shi'er walked into the house, Qiuqiu was leaning against the window, her eyes closed, and she looked like she was asleep.

Before Shi'er could get closer, a hairball jumped out of the corner of the house, looked at him alertly, and only after seeing it clearly did he relax and jump out of the window.

Outside the window, you can see a group of large and small hairballs haunting the long yellow grass on the river beach.

Shi'er looked at Qiuqiu's calm and relaxed face, and gently swiped her fingers on her cheeks, as if to write down with her eyes, and draw her outline eyebrows with her fingers in her heart, so that she would not be mistaken and would not forget.

Qiuqiu opened her eyes and looked at him, Shi'er's gaze always made her feel unbearable, and there was something in her dark eyes that made her feel unbearable and would drown her.

"Would you like to see my sword?"

Shi'er nodded.

Qiuqiu stood up and pulled Shi'er out the door.

She bit her lip and smiled, not wanting to look too smug.

But she was just proud. I can't wait to share my experience and my heart with him.

Her fingers perched on the side of her cheek and flicked slightly, and crystalline droplets of water escaped from her fingertips, drawing an arc of light in the air. Like a silver snake circling and dancing.

"Look at the sword."

The arc of light struck Shi'er extremely fast, Shi'er didn't move his shoulder or lift it, and a silver light suddenly burst out in front of him, and the front collided with Qiuqiu's sword light.

Qiuqiu's sword light looked as crystal clear as glass. It was also as fragile as glass, and when it was hit head-on like this, a ball of brilliance burst out in an instant, and the sword light shattered into countless tiny fragments. But those points of light did not disappear there, but seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, and condensed into a beam again, just like what seemed before.

Qiuqiu stretched out his hand to recall the sword light, waited for it to be all submerged in his palm, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" ”

Shi'er nodded: "Very good." It was even better than I expected. ”

It's not easy to get a word of praise from him.

"During the retreat. I see you. Qiuqiu sat side by side with him on the edge of the platform. The waterfowl flew very low, and the sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to snow. The mountains were silent in the cold wind. There were two waterfowl that remained on the shallow river beach for some reason.

Qiuqiu turned her head: "At that moment, I felt that we were very close. It's like you're really standing in front of me. ”

Shi'er clenched her hand wordlessly.

"Is it really you?"

Shi'er replied softly: "Yes." ”

"You saw me then, too?"

Shi'er nodded.

Qiuqiu was in a trance, she wanted to ask something, but she felt that it didn't matter.

Her head rested on Shi'er's shoulder, looking out at the mountains in the distance. She remembered the first time she saw him, the first time they separated, and the time they met again in Xiuyuan Mountain.

Those fragments of the past were strung together by the thoughts of recollection, stacked one by one, and finally gradually formed in my heart, it was the current him.

"I thought I missed you too much and saw a hallucination."

She was also angry with him, he didn't hear from her and didn't reply to her letters, he announced the affairs of their Taoist couple without informing her, he decided her future without authorization, and arranged her life and future for her—

She hasn't forgotten any of this.

But it can't be helped.

In her heart, the most important and intimate person is still him.

I had him when I built the foundation, I had him when I practiced the sword, and now I still want to share the joy and emotion in my heart with him.

He said that he asked her not to be in a hurry to refuse the matter of two people, and think about it again.

Actually, you don't have to think about it at all.

She had no other choice.

She didn't want any other choice.

"Do you remember the time you asked me?"

Shi'er's eyes were filled with wordless inquiry.

"About the two of us."

After knowing his intentions, Qiuqiu didn't want to hide it at all, nor did she want to avoid it.

"I like you too, I've liked you for a long time, but I haven't known ...... myself" Qiuqiu looked at him and said briskly and seriously: "No one in this world will treat me like you, and no one will walk into my heart early like you." ”

A little coolness touched her face, Qiuqiu raised her head and stretched out her hand.

"It's snowing."

Cool snowflakes fell on her hands, small and crystalline.

The snow was falling sporadically and densely.

The fine snow was on his eyebrows, and Qiuqiu reached out to brush it off for him.

Shi'er took her wrist and gently kissed the snowdrops on her fingertips, then kissed her palm.

The light touch made Qiuqiu tremble almost all over.

The snowdrop is cold, and his lips are hot.

The sensation of hot and cold shifts from the fingertips to the eyes, the tip of the nose, the cheeks, and finally to the lips.

It was deep, and he did not appeal to the love of the mouth.

Their lives have long been intertwined, and nothing can be stopped. Qiuqiu felt her eyes sour, she closed her eyes tightly and pressed her cheeks against his chest.

If there were immortals and gods in the underworld, she would be grateful to them for allowing the two of them to meet.

The snow fell on their faces, and the north wind swept swiftly, mixed with snow flakes all the way into the distance. The two waterfowl standing on the river beach let out a sigh of clarity, spread their wings and flew up, all the way to the reckless sky.
