Chapter 10: Dream Mirror (1)
In my dream, I changed back to the appearance of when I was eight years old, sitting in front of the Qixuanqin in the Holy Maiden Hall of Yechen Palace, playing non-stop.
The old demon girl was expressionless, she held the whip in her hand, her eyes were fixed on me, I knew that as long as I made a mistake, her whip would be waved to my back mercilessly, and I would have shed tears before, but my tears could not be exchanged for the soft heart of the witch, but the whip that was waved on me was more fierce, and it would only stain my clothes with blood.
I gritted my teeth and got rid of all distractions to avoid any mistakes, knowing that as long as I could play a piece of music three times after she had finished teaching me, she would not embarrass me, and would even give me the freedom to play.
Sure enough, after I finished playing her Protestant tune, the old demon girl left, leaving me alone.
A human head came in from outside the door: "Little stream, little stream, let's go, go to the back mountain." Li Yue smiled and beckoned to me.
As soon as I saw that it was him, I immediately smiled: "Brother Yue, you are here, hey, wait for me." ”
We ran hand in hand to the back mountain, since I was 5 years old when I was beaten by an old demon girl and hid in the corner and cried secretly, he often appeared when I was resting, teasing me, and taking me to play.
He was only 2 years older than me, the youngest child in the entire Yechen Palace at that time, and I liked to fly butterflies with his nets, fly kites, catch fish and shrimp in the stream at the foot of the back mountain, and almost all of my happy childhood memories were related to him.
At that time, the entire Yechen Palace was cold and cold, except for the palace masters Ye Jingxi and Li Yue who could give me a trace of warmth, I didn't have any nostalgia for the Yechen Palace.
Although Ye Jingxi is also a cold and cold person, I don't know why I always have a special sense of closeness to him, he always wears a delicate gold mask, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold silk dark patterns on the cuffs, although he is not very old, I was five years old when he took over the Yechen Palace, and he was only fifteen years old, but he has to be in charge of many big and small things in the entire Yechen Palace, you can imagine how many hardships there are.
Every month he will disappear for a period of time at night, and sometimes the old demon girl will disappear with him for a while.
When he came back, he would always rub my hair and call me Brook, Brook, and tell me with a smile that he had brought me a gift to take apart and see what it was. When he came back from along, he would always bring me all kinds of new gadgets, and sometimes some small snacks for me to satisfy my hunger, so I looked forward to his return more than anyone else.
And I always give half of the snacks given to me by the palace master to Li Yue, he always accepts them unceremoniously, but he likes to pick thorns, this one is not sweet enough, and that one is almost hot.
Sometimes he would say to me in a pretentious manner: Xiaoxi'er, when you grow up, I will definitely marry you.
And I don't know what it means to marry, I think marrying means having delicious and fun things to take. So I always shook my head at him and said that I would marry Ye Jingxi when I grew up.
He always said that I had no conscience, and I sold myself with a little favor.
"Xiaoxi'er, I've already thought about it, I'm going to take you away and fly away." As we lay on a meadow in the back hills, he suddenly turned to me and said.
"Why?" I was a little surprised, after all these years, I couldn't think of any reason to leave here.
"I don't want to be scared every day, I'm afraid that you will be beaten by the saint, look at your back, is there still good meat?" He said to me with a look of regret.
"However, although I also hated her pumping me, every time she beat me, she would still come and help me with the medicine in the dead of night. And now she has fewer and fewer opportunities to hit me. ”
The old demon girl taught me all what she had learned all her life in this way, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, rejuvenation technique, soul dementoring Dafa and disguise technique were all mastered by me, except for one, the Heavenly Maiden Sword, every time I mentioned the sword, my head would hurt worse than a whiplash, no matter how she beat me, I couldn't dance the sword, and slowly she gave up.
I know that she is the saintess of Yechen Palace, and I also know that I am her heir, the future saintess, shouldering half of the hope of Yechen Palace. The hope of the other half is naturally in the body of the palace master Ye Jingxi.
But her way of educating people that make her body worse than death makes me have no half-point of master-apprentice friendship with her, except for hatred and fear. That's why I never call her master, I secretly call her an old demon girl.
At that time, I didn't understand what Yechen Palace did, I only knew that except for the old demon girl and me in red, the others in the palace were all beautiful men in white or green clothes.
"Xiaoxi'er, I don't want you to be hurt again, I used to be young, but now I have learned most of the master's skills. I have the power to get you out of this hellish place. Li Yue looked resolute.
He is the youngest of the ten disciples of the Great Protector Night Guard, and he is usually clever and good at commanding, which is quite popular with the Night Guard, and he is very attentive to his teachings, and the martial arts he teaches are also unreserved. With his current cultivation, he was already above all his senior brothers.
"I'll think again." I don't want to frustrate him, but after all, leaving is not a trivial matter, and I still have to consider it.
