Chapter 30: A Candle Flame
I can't sleep during the day.
Zhang Ji kept sighing, it was already two o'clock in the morning, but he was not sleepy at all, and there was still a battle tomorrow, everything was caused by sleeping too much during the day.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door, and it was so slight that it was inaudible.
"Who?" Zhang Ji asked vigilantly.
"Me." The voice is soft.
Zhang Ji got up and came to the door to watch through the cat's eye.
There was a cold-faced boy standing outside the door, still indifferent, and the green-haired zombie was not there.
Zhang Ji was puzzled, he didn't know what he was doing, so he stretched out his hand to open the door.
"Something?" Zhang Ji blocked the door with his body, not wanting to invite him in.
"Something." The young man looked directly into Zhang Ji's eyes.
At this moment, the air was a little condensed, Zhang Ji was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be defeated, so he diverted his attention to look at the eyes of the cold-faced boy, and he suddenly found that the cold-faced boy's eyes were very good-looking.
It is not a single eyelid or a double eyelid, but a gradual shape, gradually changing from single eyelid to double eyelid towards the corner of the eye.
The shape of the eyes is like a crescent moon, but it is more narrow and long, and I feel that there is some feminine softness in the heroic spirit.
Feminine femininity?
Zhang Ji turned around and opened the door in an instant, he admitted defeat, he couldn't lose his whole life for a win or loss.
The two sat opposite each other, fiddling with the matches on the table, he didn't want to speak first, and he wasn't even interested in chatting.
"You're hurt." The cold-faced boy spoke.
Zhang Ji nodded, it's not a secret.
"I can't heal your injuries, but I can suppress your injuries so that they won't worsen even in the heat of battle." The cold-faced young man said.
Zhang Ji's action of playing with matches stopped, he had already reflected on why he slept so heavily during the day, it was estimated that it was because of the deterioration of his injury, so he had to pay attention to what this person said.
"Proof of it." Zhang Ji is very direct, when there are more people in Party B, he will be more demanding after becoming Party A.
The cold-faced young man held his hands in front of his chest, and a soft milky white light flashed from his body, and the light condensed and slowly gathered in his hands.
The light grew thicker, converging into a paste, slowly transforming into a candlestick in the shape of a white crane, and then, a warm yellow light lit up from the crane's forehead, like candlelight.
Zhang Ji's eyes widened, this scene was presented very clearly in front of his eyes, and the beautiful picture made him wish to have an Alai in his hand.
"It can be done."
After the crisp sound came from the warm yellow candlelight, Zhang Ji looked up in surprise, but was blocked by the candlelight and couldn't see the picture clearly.
The candlelight slowly moved down, and a delicate little face appeared in front of Zhang Ji, with eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, all of which were delicate as if they were carefully carved.
"Hello, my name is Xin Ling."
The girl smiled sweetly.
"Are you...... Female? "This disguise, Zhang Ji can't see it at all.
Xin Ling nodded, still with a sweet smile on his face, which was completely different from his cold face.
Zhang Ji adjusted his state, walked out of his surprise, and asked, "Can it stabilize my injury?" ”
"It's there, and your injuries won't deepen." Xin Ling said affirmatively.
Zhang Ji's fingers tapped rhythmically on the left side, and his brows furrowed.
"You want me to join you on an expedition? Do you not hesitate to pay such a treasure for this? Zhang Ji asked.
Xin Ling nodded lightly, her eyes fixed on the candle flame, and her right hand stroked gently.
"I can't give it to you, I believe that there is a way to heal your body in the Guxiu Cave Mansion, you explore with me, the method belongs to you, and we divide the rest equally, if there is no method, then, a candle flame will be given to you."
The crane swayed its wings with Xin Ling's stroke, and the candle flame flickered and fell.
Zhang Ji calculated the gains and losses in his heart, it was not that he didn't want to go on an adventure, but he always felt that Xin Ling was unreliable before, and now that Xin Ling took off his disguise and invited him again, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
"I want to know two things, first: why do you have to explore that ancient cave, and second: why do you have to take me with you. If you can't know either answer, or if you lie in either answer, I'll immediately reject it. Zhang Ji said solemnly.
He doesn't believe in pie in the sky, let alone good luck, he only believes in purpose, everyone does things, or latent or clear has their own purpose, knowing the purpose of this person, the possibility of being deceived by this person will be reduced.
Xin Ling frowned, even if she frowned, she was like a delicate doll, her hand caressed the crane more often, and the crane's wings stirred more and more frequently, the flames flickered, as if representing the entanglement in her heart.
"There was a little girl, when she was born, she saw the world differently from other people's world, in her eyes, the world is colored, sometimes, her eyes are green, sometimes purple, sometimes yellow."
"Her childhood was not happy because color bothered her, so her family found many doctors for her, but unfortunately they couldn't cure her."
Later, when she grew up, she discovered that green represents safety, yellow represents danger, cyan represents health, blue represents opportunity, and each color represents that something different will happen."
"Finally, when she was thirteen years old, her family couldn't stand her anymore and sent her to an orphanage, and soon after, he was taken in by Grandma Lotus."
"Grandma said that she is a natural warlock, she can know yin and yang, know good fortune and misfortune, is a genius that cannot be met once in thousands of years, must be a powerful reincarnation, but for some reason she lives in this small world, grandma also said that she should not be bothered by earthly things, so take her up the mountain and let her cultivate with peace of mind."
And just like that, she spent two years in the mountains."
At this time, Xin Ling looked very happy, her eyes were squinted, and her smile seemed to be planted on her cheeks, but then, her cheeks trembled, and her smile was gone.
"I never knew what red stood for because I hadn't encountered it yet, and then, that day, I saw red."
"The sky is full of red, the red is like a thick fog, the red is with the smell of blood, reach over and touch it, it's sticky, it's scary."
"I was frightened that day, the colors on weekdays are dotted in the sky and the earth, but that day, the red fog blocked everything in front of me, I cried, shouted, it was useless, the whole world seemed to have abandoned me, my sisters didn't respond, my grandmother didn't see me, I was too scared, I nested in the house, I didn't dare to go out."
"I cried so tired that I fell asleep, and when I woke up, the red color was gone, and I saw the world in front of me again, but the world was different, the buildings on the mountain were sealed, I shouted everywhere, and no one answered me."
"All the rooms can't be opened, no one answers me, they seem to have disappeared, and I am left alone on the whole mountain, I frantically search, call, but unfortunately to no avail."
"Later, I went down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, I clearly felt that this position was no longer the one I was familiar with, the mountain had moved, and I continued to walk forward, and in front of me were more mountains and houses that could not be opened, and mountains and attics were all like grandma's house."
"Later, I walked out of that world, but when I wanted to go back again, I found that I couldn't get in, and there was a layer of fog blocking that world, and that fog was very special."
"Later, I slowly looked for a way to get into, and the Guxiu Cave Mansion I was talking about was that place."
After the girl finished speaking, she stared blankly at the crane candle in her hand, and the whole person entered a state of infatuation.
Zhang Ji got up and poured a cup of hot water for her, he could generally understand this strange feeling, just like he doubted the world with a yarrow stalk not long ago, the whole person was cloudy, and Xin Ling's experience was obviously a little more complicated.
"Then why did you choose me to participate?" Zhang Ji is still calm.
"Because the smell of your body is very similar to that layer of mist, although it is different, but I can feel it, no, not my feeling, it is a candle flame, it can break through the illusion and see the essence, it reminds me that you are different, and your color is blue, for me, it represents chance."
Xin Ling should be the first time to tell people about these things, which leads to her now knowing everything about Zhang Ji, people are like this, they have kept secrets for a long time, and once they say it, they can't wait to tell everyone about it, and tell it frankly one by one.
"Does it taste?" Zhang Ji was puzzled, this description is not easy to determine, but the biggest difference between himself and ordinary monks is divine power, I think what she said should be divine power.
"What kind of exercises is Grandma Lotus practicing? Enlightenment by strength, or enlightenment by divine consciousness, or incense enlightenment? Zhang Ji asked.
Xin Ling thought for a while, and said: "I have heard others call grandma the contemporary lifeless mother, and I have also heard the three words of the White Lotus Sect, grandma said that her exercises are different from mine, I am a divine consciousness, and I think grandma should be incense to become a god." ”
Zhang Ji nodded, if this is the case, then his judgment should be correct, the so-called smell is just an external aura of divine power.
However, this result made him entangled, things are too weird, and rash participation may not have a good result.
Seeing him frowning, Xin Ling guessed Zhang Ji's thoughts, but he didn't speak, just kept twisting and was silent.
"This is too complicated, can I ask for help?" Zhang Ji asked.
Xin Ling blinked, looking a little confused.
"A friend of mine is more ...... to this smell on my body Curious, he likes everything that smells like this, and his cultivation is higher than mine, so ......" Zhang Ji gave an expression that you understand.
"Yes, can you not tell him about me?" Xin Ling asked cautiously.
"Of course, I just want to make things more certain, I won't disclose your situation and Grandma Lotus's affairs, but I want to describe the strange situation there to him, after all, I want to rely on him to save my life." Zhang Jidao.
Xin Ling nodded, she just didn't want to expose herself and her grandmother, and she didn't care about anything else.
"And what about the exact time?" Zhang Ji asked.
"How's it going after the game?" Xin Ling was a little impatient.
Zhang Ji nodded, he didn't mind this.
"A candle flame, how to use it?" Zhang Ji pointed to the crane in front of him.
"If you need to refine, you can use your divine sense." Xin Ling said.
Divine consciousness is a good thing, but unfortunately I don't have ...... Zhang Ji thought helplessly.
