After Zi Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left the house, leaving Ling Sushuang standing in place in a daze, and after a while he asked, "Flowing Fire, you mean, Zi Yu is the Purple Jade Hairpin Flower Demon?" ”

"Hmm." Ji Liuhuo replied, his expression dark.

Ling Sushuang's face suddenly turned cold, she has always been a protective character, and Ziyu is the little girl she cares about. Now that Ji Liuhuo actually treated Ziyu like this for the sake of a snake demon, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "So you knew that Ziyu was the Purple Hosta Flower Demon for a long time, right?" ”

Ji Liuhuo didn't answer, it seemed that he acquiesced. Ling Sushuang was even more angry in her heart, but because Hui Xun was still on the side, some things were not easy to say, so she had to glare at Ji Liuhuo angrily, and she was about to go out with him.

It's just that Ji Liuhuo's words made her lose her temper in an instant.

He said, "Sushuang, I know I'm doing this badly. But what can I do? At the beginning, Ah Ying was also to save me, so she was poisoned by a beetle snake and died. The nine-point beetle snake venom is extremely poisonous. I watched her lie in my arms, her forehead black and black, her lips bloodless, and finally died in my arms. I watched her lose her breath little by little, and her soul turned into fluorescent light and died in heaven and earth, but I couldn't stop her, I couldn't save her. ”

"Lige is to save Hui Xun and the snake venom, as soon as I see her, I think of Ah Ying. So I can't ignore this matter at all, I can't control myself, Su Shuang, I hope you can understand my mood at this time. ”

This is the first time in so long time that Ji Liuhuo has talked to her about Nan Hotaru since Nan Hotaru died. Her heart ached, and she couldn't speak.

Ling Sushuang remembered the scene when Nan Ying was gone, and even after so many years, she couldn't forget it.

She still remembered that she hurried back from Xitian, only to see Nan Hotaru falling into Ji Liuhuo's arms, her body becoming transparent little by little. She couldn't believe it, she went to hold Nan Hotaru's hand, but it was cold and biting.

She watched Nan Hotaru's hand become a little transparent in her hand and finally became fluorescent, she was so scared that she wanted to hold the light tightly, but the light eventually disappeared in her hand.

"Flowing Fire ......" Ling Sushuang turned her back to Ji Liuhuo, lifted the bead curtain with one hand, and clenched it tightly into a fist with the other hand and hid it in her sleeve, "Leave her, do you have to save her?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay." Ling Sushuang responded, "I understand, I'll try my best to help you convince Ziyu." ”

Just here, when Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang were reminiscing about the past and each was sad, Ziyu had already left this courtyard far away.

Because Ji Liuhuo's previous behavior and words in the house made Ziyu a little difficult to accept, so she walked out in a bad mood. Along the way, because I was thinking about what had just happened, I unconsciously walked a little farther.

Ziyu was a little tired from walking, so she found a place to sit down.

The place where Ziyu is now is designed to be a bit like a street market, with empty streets lined up with shops of all colors, but separated by a river with a curved stone arch bridge and a few lanterns floating in the river, swimming with the current.

A bamboo raft was parked at the shore under the bridge, and a bamboo artemisia stood on the side, and Ziyu saw that there was no one around, so he got up and flew down to the bamboo raft.

Ziyu stood on the bamboo raft, took the bamboo artemisia on the side and supported it slightly, and the bamboo raft slowly floated on the water. Seeing this, Ziyu paddled the bamboo artemisia into the water a few times, moved the bamboo raft to the middle of the river, and did not put the bamboo artemisia down until the bamboo raft began to swim slowly by the current, and then lay down on the bamboo raft.

After quieting down, Ziyu couldn't help but think of the scene that happened in the house just now.

She didn't quite understand what she was feeling at that time, but she knew that when Ji Liuhuo looked at her indifferently, her heart was very uncomfortable.

Ziyu sighed and stared at the sky blankly.

At this time, it was already a little late, and although the sky had not yet darkened, there were still stars. The lanterns in front of the shops on both sides of the river were lit up in an instant, and the lights fell into the water, which was broken by the bamboo raft and stirred up sparkling waves.

It's not that Ziyu is unwilling to help Lige detoxify snake venom, it's just that her petals are too important to her.

She is not an ordinary hosta flower, she has seen other hosta flowers in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and she has not yet cultivated the spirit of the unconscious flower, each of those hosta flowers is a six-petal flower, but she is the only one, the flower only has four petals.

Every petal is her life, and if she loses one petal, she will lose a life.

This sounds a bit like the rumored nine-tailed fox clan, one tail is one life, and if the nine tails are lost, they will be completely killed.

It's the same with her, if she loses the four-petaled flower, she will die and disappear from this world completely.

But she wouldn't tell Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang about this, this was the secret of her and Tanuki.

Tanuki had told her that weaknesses should not be known, so as not to be used by people with ill intentions, so even Nansu didn't know about it.

She was distressed to leave the song, but she was distressed, she still didn't want to give up her life for the sake of leaving the song.

Whether she is selfish or stingy, she is not a virgin after all, and she can't sacrifice herself for others.

Ziyu sighed, closed her eyes and let the bamboo raft float on the water.

I don't know how long it took, the sky had completely darkened, Ziyu got up from the bamboo raft and flew back to the shore. After coming out for so long, it's time to go back, although she is annoyed by Ji Liuhuo, but Ji Liuhuo doesn't know the importance of petals to her after all, so she is not so angry.

Not to mention Ling Sushuang. She remembered that when she came out, she vaguely heard Ling Sushuang angrily questioning Ji Liuhuo about something.

At least Ling Sushuang was sincere to her, she was looking for a way to go back while thinking about it, but suddenly found that she was actually lost.

The Scarlet Song Temple is not big, but it is not small, because the night is hazy, and the courtyards in the temple are all designed with blue tiles and white walls, so Ziyu couldn't tell how to go back for a while.

Because she didn't know which direction to go, Ziyu simply climbed onto the roof, after all, she stood high and could see far away, she was on the roof, if someone came to look for her, she would have been able to find it earlier.

As Zi Yu expected, it didn't take long for her to see Ling Sushuang walking quickly on the water with a lantern and coming to look for her.

She was very happy to see Ling Sushuang, and hurriedly stood up and waved her hand to Ling Sushuang who was located below: "Sister Sushuang, I'm here." ”

Ziyu shouted and walked forward, but unexpectedly, her feet slipped, and she fell on the eaves and rolled straight down.

It happened suddenly, Zi Yu was so frightened that she closed her eyes and screamed, her brain was blank, and she even forgot to use the spell. She thought she would fall to the ground, but the next second she had fallen into a warm embrace.

The owner of the arms spoke to her with three points of reproach and seven points of pampering: "Why are you so careless." ”

Zi Yu's nose was sour, she was already aggrieved, and the thrill of falling from the roof, her emotions all erupted in this situation: "Sister Sushuang, I ......"

Ziyu almost cried as she spoke.

Ling Sushuang sighed, rubbed Zi Yu's head, held the lantern in one hand and hugged her in the other, and flew towards the place where he came from: "Don't blame the flowing fire, he also has a hard time." ”

Ziyu didn't say anything after hearing this, Ling Sushuang didn't say anything more, and landed in the courtyard next to the house where Hui Xun lived with Ziyu.

"Sister Sushuang, am I staying here tonight?" Ziyu asked, her mood had improved a lot.

Ling Sushuang nodded, led Ziyu to the house assigned to Ziyu's accommodation, and after sending Ziyu back to the house, Ling Sushuang was about to leave, but was stopped by Ziyu: "Sister Sushuang, can you tell me the story of you and Brother Liuhuo?" ”

Ling Sushuang stopped her steps when she heard this, and was silent for a moment before turning around slightly: "Okay." ”

The story that Ling Sushuang told Ziyu was very simple, and there were three protagonists in the story, she, Ji Liuhuo, and a girl named A Ying.

She and Ah Ying and Ji Liuhuo have known each other since childhood, and the three of them practice together to help each other, and their feelings are very deep.

Later, I don't know when it began, a love gradually developed between A Ying and Ji Liuhuo, and they were together.

She has always regarded Ah Ying and Ji Liuhuo as excellent friends, and she is very happy to see them together. She thought that Ah Ying and Ji Liuhuo would live happily ever after, but who knew that once Ah Ying and Ji Liuhuo met a snake demon, the snake demon was vicious and cunning, and when they saw that they couldn't fight, they gambled with their lives to bite Ji Liuhuo, and Ah Ying unfortunately fell into the snake demon venom in order to save Ji Liuhuo, and died without a cure.

Ji Liuhuo was extremely self-blaming because of this incident, and always thought that it was because he didn't work hard enough to do this, so he disappeared for a long time, and when he reappeared, he became the current character.

Ling Sushuang said, "Ziyu, don't blame him. He was because of Hui Xun and Lige's experience, which reminded him of his own experience in the past, and Hotaru's death hit him so hard that he completely lost his mind when he saw Lige with the same cause of death as Hotaru. ”

Ziyu didn't nod or shake her head, but was silent and didn't speak. She remembered the deceased person that Ji Liuhuo had told her before, and she remembered how strong Ji Liuhuo's grief was at that time.

But that doesn't justify Ji Liuhuo doing this.

She never agreed, how touching it is to hurt other people under the guise of being for one person, you are an infatuated lover for a reason, but how innocent is others?

It's just that I don't know why, Ziyu always feels that Ling Sushuang's story is somewhat familiar.

Hotaru, the snake demon poison, died.

Ziyu suddenly remembered what Tanuki had told her, that the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch Nan Hotaru died due to the poison of the snake demon.

"Sister Sushuang, what you said about Ah Hotaru, is it the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch Nan Hotaru?" Ziyu asked.
