Chapter Ninety-Two—The Unchanging Waiting

Tsukimi sat up from the bed in surprise when he heard Hatsushiro's words, "What? You mean that you have found the reincarnation of a swimming fish before? Why have I never heard of you?"

Chu Bai also spread his hands helplessly, "You can't blame me for this, I only found out not long ago." ”

Tsukimi shook his head, "yes, how did I forget that our grown-ups often give us such frightening surprises?"

Early the next morning, Chu Bai came to the Yuejian room with breakfast, and saw that she was much better and her face was ruddy, knowing that she was fine, so she let go of a hanging heart. The two had just finished breakfast together in the room when the president pushed the door open and walked in.

"Huh, you were here last night...... "The president looked at the two of them with a sinister smile, but was interrupted by a frown, "You said before that when you were on Spirit Sword Mountain, Fluttershy had a few awakenings, remember when they were?"

The president was asked by him, touched his chin and thought for a while, "Hmm...... It seems that there were five, six, seven or eight times, of course I don't remember the exact time, but it was just that the interval between the next two years seemed to be getting shorter and shorter. ”

Tsukimi looked at Hatsubai, "Five, six, seven, eight, how many times?"

Chu Bai sighed slightly, "You should listen to it about ten times." ”

The president didn't understand what they meant, so he asked, "I thought you were studying your own business early in the morning, but why did you remember to ask that girl about it?"

Tsukimi showed a meaningful smile, "Since the protagonist is about to appear, of course those of us who play supporting roles should be concerned about when we should leave." ”

As if he had suddenly been inspired by something, the chairman frowned and repeated Tsukimi's words, and suddenly slapped his thigh, startling the other two.

"Exit...... By the way, Tsukimi, you can continue to play dead. ”

Chu Bai looked at the president incredulously, "Pretending to be dead?" I said, even if you don't want to get me a dowry, can't I get it myself? What does it mean to continue to pretend to be dead?"

The president glanced at him unhappily, "What do you mean that you don't want to take the dowry, I have already given it, okay? Besides, the moon is your person sooner or later, what are you doing in such a hurry now?"

Yuejian also had a crying and laughing expression, "Although I received the dowry gift, but you let me continue to pretend to be dead, what kind of play are you playing?

The president smiled with a scheming smile, "My daughter-in-law is so capable, how can she really stay at home all day?" I mean, since according to you, the water demon is in collusion with the cow in the enchantment, and he deliberately returned you, it means that the water demon is expected that you will not wake up, so we might as well make a plan to make you completely disappear from the surface, and it is also convenient to continue the investigation in secret." ”

After hearing this, Yuejian leaned towards Chu Bai with a painful face, "Is it better for me not to wake up?"

The president was very satisfied with his decision, and took out the round ball that he showed them yesterday and shook it in front of them, "Okay, let's go and find out the secret here before that girl with good ears comes back." ”

As soon as they saw this eyeball-like ball, the faces of the three of them sank at the same time, so the three of them walked out of the guild gate quietly, and before leaving, the president did not forget to let Tsukimi put on a hat with a black veil.

The three of them rode all the way to the western suburbs of Longcheng, along the Guyue Plain, and as soon as they stepped on the Feihe Platform, they saw the magnificent organ building built entirely of wooden structures - the Yellow Crane Ruins.

Tsukimi and Hatsubai rode together, turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Eh, I heard adults mention when I was a child that this magnificent Yellow Crane Ruins was completely made by one person, and the person who built the Yellow Crane Ruins couldn't be the person we are looking for today, right?"

Hatsubai lowered his head and whispered in Yuejian's ear: "Unfortunately, it was really guessed by Madame." ”

Tsukimi's cheeks turned red when he shouted at his title, but he suddenly heard the chairman exclaim in front of him, "Oh, go, what is this?"

When they looked up, they saw a wooden rabbit floating in front of the chairman, flapping the chairman's face with wing-like ears as it flew, and flapping its wings away when the president tried to catch it.

At this moment, at the door of the cabin in front of the magnificent organ building, there were a few laughs from the old man, "Hehehe, don't be naughty, come on, come back." ”

When the rabbit heard the old man's call, like a living object, he flew back to the old man's side obediently, flapped his wings lightly, and landed on the old man's shoulder on the chaise longue at the door of the wooden house.

Seeing this, the three of them turned over and got off their mounts, and the chairman took the lead in walking in front of the old man and greeted him respectfully, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Old Huang, you are still so energetic." ”

The old man also replied with a smile: "Hehe, what a spirit, it's just that I can't die for the time being, I have heard some things about you in the past two days, and I am wondering if you are coming to me." ”

At this time, Hatsushiro and Tsukimi also walked over and saluted the old man respectfully, and the old man smiled and waved his hand, and led them into the wooden house where he lived.

After the three of them entered the house, they couldn't help but let out a burst of amazement, only to see that this small wooden house was full of all kinds of refined wooden mechanism small utensils, each of which was moving flexibly through the delicate transmission, and it was as vivid as a living being.

The old man smiled again and took out three delicate folding wooden chairs and handed them to the president, "Hehe, the place is small, there are many things, please make do with it and rest." ”

After the chairman and the others unfolded the wooden chair and sat down, Yuejian couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! This little wooden chair is so comfortable to sit on, Huang Lao's craftsmanship is really like Lu Ban is alive." ”

The old man smiled and shook his hand, "I used to be a little carpenter, and I liked to fiddle with some gadgets, until I met her, who also liked these gadgets, I began to study these delicate machine beasts hard, and promised her that I must build a complete organ city for her, but when the Yellow Crane Tower that belonged to the two of us was still in the early stages of construction, she went early." ”

Yuejian was a little confused when he heard this, and when he just wanted to ask carefully, he was attracted by a dark red mark on the old man's right arm, "Huang Lao, ...... you are?"

The old man glanced at the mark on his arm, and smiled as if he had seen an old friend after a long absence, "Yo? ”

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard the old man say this, and the chairman quickly took out the eyeball-shaped ball from his body and handed it to the old man, "Huang Lao, this is something we found in an ancient book of ancient ruins, and I think it is something related to the reincarnation of the white mist, so I will show it to you, please give me some advice." ”

The moment the old man saw the ball, his face suddenly froze, and he stretched out his hands that trembled slightly with excitement, and reverently took the ball handed by the president.

The moment the chairman and the others saw the old man's hand touch the ball, a dazzling blue light suddenly flashed on the ball, but it was only a moment later and returned to calm, and the chairman and the others were surprised to see that the red marks on the old man's arm also disappeared after the blue light flashed.

Chu Bai was surprised, "Old Huang, what's going on, can you sense the contents of this memory ball?"

The old man smiled peacefully and quietly again, and slowly shook his head, "No, I can't. Because the memories in it no longer belong to me, the swimming fish and the flying birds are heart-to-heart, and the soul is interconnected, and now I am just a swimming fish who has lost the flying birds, and the memory of the white mist can no longer be revived in me. ”

Speaking of this, the old man got up from the window of the wooden house, looked at the magnificent organ city behind the house with the words Yellow Crane Ruins hanging on the banner, and sighed with regret in his eyes:

"Maybe the reincarnation of our generation is a fateful mistake, even if Zihe is still alive, we will definitely not be able to pick up this big beam......" The old man retracted his gaze and handed the ball back to the president, "Now that the water demon is born, there will definitely be a bloody storm on each floating island, I also heard some remarkable deeds about the reincarnation of the new generation of white mist some time ago, I believe that with his skills, he will definitely be able to take on this important responsibility, you give this thing directly to him, I think you will get more useful information." ”

After listening to the old man's words, the chairman and the others frowned and fell into deep thought, and Hatsubai gave a detailed account of their findings and worries to the old man, and the old man frowned and thought for a while before sighing after a while.

"Hey...... It seems that the white fog of this life will also be full of tribulations. I don't know if the situation you are talking about is a cunning conspiracy or a coincidence of fate, but the two children you are talking about are both important reincarnations and new beings, and although some feelings will be deeply rooted in the soul, they will also change with the changes in the outside world. Of course, I am also the reincarnation of the swimming fish, but my feelings for the purple crane are not limited to the memories in the soul, which are completely beyond these empty frameworks. So even if she passed away, I still built this organ city for her according to our original agreement, and I willingly waited here for her for the rest of my life. ”

After listening to the old man's words, the chairman and the others all had a flush in their eyes, although they had all heard the poignant love story of Luo Ying and Bai Mist, but at this moment they were also brought into the real story of the old man in front of them, but they soon couldn't help but think of the entangled and misplaced emotions between Cang Lan and Chi Mudie, and they all sighed speechlessly.

The three of them stayed in the wooden house for almost the whole day, and Tsukimi and Hatsushiro listened to the old man talk about his past with great interest, while the chairman listened to their conversation while fiddling with some small devices on the old man's table, until the evening the three of them walked out of the old man's wooden house with great satisfaction.

Under the eyes of the old man, the chairman and the others stepped out of the Feihe platform and gradually walked away, and the old man turned around and walked to the Yellow Crane Ruins behind the house, and gently stroked the door beam of the Yellow Crane Ruins with his wrinkled hands, his affectionate eyes mixed with sad joy.

"Purple Crane, it seems that the current world has made it impossible for us to enjoy the blessings here, although when you left, you specially instructed me, you can't go to you so soon, to live this life well, but now that the water demon is born, I think it will soon affect us, although I don't know how long my old bone can hold on to fighting against him, but I believe that the light of this generation will be able to break through the darkness and completely dispel it. ”

When the old man said this, he gently patted the outer wall of the city with his old palm, and said with a smile: "So, even if I go to see you earlier, you can't blame me." ”
