Chapter 536: Pure Liang Warms the Cold Heart, and Cinnabar Proves Affection
"Great, I used to look for that little guy by myself, and because I didn't know much about the sea of stars, he was like a headless fly. But now it's different, I see that you are stepping on auspicious clouds, it seems to be very powerful, with you helping me find it, I believe that I will be able to bring it back to Huaxia!" Hearing that Ximen Xuanyu was willing to accompany him to find the lost spirit beast, the gloom between Ling Xiaoyou's eyebrows dissipated, and a touch of surprise appeared. She ran to Ximen Xuanyu's side, shook the hand holding Ximen Xuanyu violently, and said happily.
"Xiaoyou, what is that spirit beast of yours, I can accompany you to the sea of stars to find its traces, but I always want to know what it looks like, right?" Ximen Xuanyu had never been so close to people since he was born, and now he was held by Ling Xiaoyou, which made Ximen Xuanyu a little at a loss. He turned his head away, tried his best to hide the blush on his face, and asked Ling Xiaoyou seemingly casually. Ling Xiaoyou's softness was smooth and soft, and that warmth spread from Xiaoyou's hand into his heart, making Ximen Xuanyu feel a strange feeling.
"Hmm...... It looked a little strange, because the little creature metamorphosed every 30,000 years, it was once a golden cicada, then a butterfly, then a colorful bird. By the way, it had just undergone another metamorphosis before it was lost, and after the metamorphosis, it was about the size of a pine tree, with a long tail, and a fluffy body, which was very cute. It's just that its mood has become very low after its recent metamorphosis, and it has lost its appetite for its former favorite snowy reishi. At first, I thought it was sick, so I took it to see a lot of doctors, including Hongchen's healers and your cultivators. But their hearts are very bad, not only did they not cure the little guy, but they even wanted to refine the little guy. Perhaps it was their evil desires that frightened it, and that night, it disappeared, and I followed its scent all the way out of China and into the sea of stars. But three hundred years ago, the smell disappeared, and that's why I came here in a daze. Ling Xiaoyou thought back to the past and said in a low voice.
After listening to Ling Xiaoyou's story, Ximen Xuanyu was shocked, and he found that he had always ignored one thing. That is, this flowery star is thousands of miles away from Huaxia, although Ling Xiaoyou has the cultivation of the Supreme Realm, but she does not know how to practice at all, although her spiritual power is strong, but there is no trace of the operation of the exercises in her body. Moreover, she said that she came here with a bamboo flute as a substitute for transportation, and that the bamboo flute was also an unusual thing. How can a girl who doesn't know how to practice have such a rebellious baby?
Also, she said that the little guy who depends on her life will transform every 30,000 years, and Ximen Xuanyu knows very well that it is not a transformation, but Nirvana. But although there are countless spirit beasts in the world, if they can perform nirvana, they are as rare as a few of them. As far as he knew, there were only two kinds of beings in the world who could be nirvana, one was the phoenix, and they would be reborn in the flames for a higher realm. The other is the silkworm, legend has it that when the world was chaotic, there were three silkworms in the universe that fell silent in the unknown place. Later, the Pangu god opened the world, created ten thousand ways, and expanded the sea of stars, and there was a silkworm to accompany him, and later the Pangu god left Huaxia,
The silkworm also went with it. The second silkworm lives in seclusion at the end of the distant sea of stars, unrestrained. The third silkworm exploded and died after accidentally eating a large amount of Hongmeng purple qi, and its body turned into flying ashes and dissipated in the vast sea of stars. But its spiritual consciousness is immortal, waiting to be reborn for hundreds of lifetimes. Some people also say that the spiritual consciousness of that heavenly silkworm was exiled to the Huaxia Continent in order to follow the remnants of the Pangu Divine Venerable, but no one knows whether it is true or not.
Ling Xiaoyou said that the spirit beast had transformed three times, that is, if that spirit beast was really a heavenly silkworm, then it had successfully completed three nirvana. The Nine Changes of the Heavenly Silkworm, the Heavenly Silkworm that can survive the three Nirvana times is definitely the existence of the dominant side in the Star Sea. How could such a terrifying spirit beast that everyone feared suddenly disappear? Moreover, listening to Ling Xiaoyou's words, she seemed to have been by its side since the time when the Heavenly Silkworm was in its original state, that is to say, she was at least ninety thousand years old, and it was impossible for ordinary people to have such a long lifespan.
"Hey, what are you thinking? Are you listening to me carefully?" Just as Ximen Xuanyu was thinking about the identity of the spirit beast and Ling Xiaoyou, Ling Xiaoyou naughtily pinched Ximen Xuanyu's handsome face, pouted, and complained angrily.
At this time, Ling Xiaoyou was only three inches away from Ximen Xuanyu, Ling Xiaoyou's breath was like an orchid, and the fragrant breath rushed into Ximen Xuanyu's nasal cavity, watering Ximen Xuanyu's dry heart like spring rain. Her big innocent and agile eyes stared at Ximen Xuanyu tightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently as Meimu opened and closed. In that instant, Ximen Xuanyu completely fell into Ling Xiaoyou's innocence of not knowing the world. Ximen Xuanyu is cold and arrogant by nature and never has close contact with people, but in the past few days with Ling Xiaoyou, Ximen Xuanyu found that he had changed.
"I, I'm listening!" After a short period of distraction, Ximen Xuanyu avoided Ling Xiaoyou's eyes with an embarrassed expression, he swallowed his saliva fiercely, and said hesitantly. At the same time, Ximen Xuanyu sighed in his heart: "Ximen Xuanyu, Ximen Xuanyu, what's wrong with you, aren't you a ruthless and rebellious immortal in the Soul Hidden Realm? What about your ruthlessness, what about your iron and blood?" Ximen Xuanyu sighed while secretly running the exercises, suppressing the throbbing in his heart, not wanting to be seen through by Ling Xiaoyou.
"Huh, why is your face red? It can't be that you're sick, right?" Ling Xiaoyou said, leaning out the back of his hand and sticking it to Ximen Xuanyu's forehead, when he felt Ximen Xuanyu's hot cheeks, Ling Xiaoyou said in surprise: "Your face is so hot, will it be infected with the wind cold?"
"I, I'm fine, maybe, maybe it's too hot. Xiao You, didn't you say that you were going to look for that spirit beast? This star is full of flowers, and it doesn't have the breath of that spirit beast, why don't we go to another place to have a look?" Ximen Xuanyu quietly withdrew two steps and changed the topic. Ximen Xuanyu was a little scared now, he was afraid of Ling Xiaoyou's pure heart, afraid of her unguarded kindness to others, afraid of her implicit sense of dependence on himself, and even more afraid of the irrepressible love for Ling Xiaoyou in his heart.
"You're really, it looks like you're not much older than me, even I can take good care of myself, why are you
Can't even control your own warmth and coldness?" Ling Xiaoyou finished speaking, a trace of resentment appeared on his face, and he said to Ximen Xuanyu seriously: "You must take care of yourself, otherwise what will you do when I am not by your side?" We are friends, I can take care of you when we are together, but what if one day I am gone?" Ling Xiaoyou said, his eyes revealing a shallow sadness, which was distressing.
"No, I will take care of you, don't worry! With me, no one can hurt you!" Hearing Ling Xiaoyou's words, Ximen Xuanyu suddenly had a very bad premonition, he held Ling Xiaoyou's jade finger with his backhand, and blurted out what he wanted to say in his heart.
As soon as those words came out, Ximen Xuanyu found that he was extremely relaxed, as if the feelings he had suppressed for tens of thousands of years had finally found an outlet for catharsis, and he no longer had any burden in his heart, and he was no longer worried that he was timid because he couldn't protect Ling Xiaoyou. Ling Xiaoyou's kindness and simplicity are like the fire of the rising sun, melting the ice in Ximen Xuanyu's heart, they are like a clear spring slowly flowing into Ximen Xuanyu's heart, and finally turned into cinnabar moles, dotted in the softest corner of Ximen Xuanyu's heart, wrapped in vague affection with bitter love.
"I hope so. Seeing Ximen Xuanyu's face flushed from nervousness, Ling Xiaoyou smiled sadly and said softly. That smile contains all kinds of complex emotions such as helplessness, joy, and love. It seems that there is something unspeakable in Ling Xiaoyou's heart, and it is difficult to talk to others.
However, Ximen Xuanyu was in high spirits and didn't notice Ling Xiaoyou's abnormality, he plucked up his courage, slowly stretched out his right hand, and trembled to hold Ling Xiaoyou's soft. When the two palms touched, Ling Xiaoyou smiled indifferently, looked up at Ximen Xuanyu, and finally bowed his head into Ximen Xuanyu's broad embrace. Her worldly face was tightly pressed against Ximen Xuanyu's chest, and two tears slowly flowed down in the corner where Ximen Xuanyu could not see. Ximen Xuanyu's jaw rubbed Ling Xiaoyou's green silk, sniffing the faint fragrance of flowers emanating from her inky black hair. Ximen Xuanyu wanted to let time pass a little slower, a little slower, and it would be better to stay here forever! The two of them stood quietly on the sea of flowers, leaning on each other, from early morning to dusk, from the beginning of the morning to the sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the figures of the two of them very long, very long, as if two trees were intertwined with each other, and finally turned into one tree of love, expelled by time, running into the distance.
After this, Ximen Xuanyu and Ling Xiaoyou walked through the clouds, they arrived at the East Pole Mountain at the end of the Star Sea, crossed the Ten Thousand Miles Star Sea to the west, and visited the Holy Land of Bliss. The two of them fished for the Sky Devouring Beast on the abyss wall of Southern Xinjiang, and also looked up at the vast starry sky on the infinite land of the North Pole. As they walked, they searched for the traces of the spirit beast, and for ten years, they still found nothing. However, Ximen Xuanyu had already seen it, as long as he could be by Ling Xiaoyou's side, even if he would be adrift in the sea of stars for the rest of his life, even if he went to the ends of the earth and the sea of stars was destroyed, he would have no regrets.
I thought they would go on like this until the earth was desolate. However, just as they had been in the seventeenth year of their journey in the sea of stars, the two of them suddenly discovered the trace of the spirit beast. What Ximen Xuanyu didn't expect was that this search turned out to be the biggest catastrophe he had encountered in his life.
