Chapter 33: Memory Aperture
I saw that the ancient dryad took a breath at a dark blue circle of light that was far away from him, and the circle of light slowly merged into his body.
Xiao Li hurriedly looked at it, the dusty memory of the ancient tree demon was very related to him, he didn't want to lose, and his expression couldn't help but become nervous.
The ancient dryad frowned, as if thoughtful, and didn't look in a hurry.
He wanted to ask several times, but he was afraid of interrupting the ancient tree demon's thoughts, so he forcibly endured it.
"Ahem~"
After about a quarter of an hour, the ancient dryad retracted his thoughts and coughed dryly.
He hurriedly took a step forward.
"Three years ago, there was a demon sect lord who asked me to hand over this thing to you, alas~" For some reason, the ancient tree demon sighed.
After a while, the ground where the ancient tree demon was located loosened for a while, and a thinner root slowly stretched out of the ground, rolling an object, slowly approaching the lonely stand.
He thought that the ancient tree demon's sigh was due to self-blame, because the things left by the demon clan's power should have been given to him three years ago, but the ancient tree demon seemed to have forgotten after that, so he sighed and blamed himself.
Seeing that the roots of the ancient tree demon were getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, reached out to catch it, and saw a piece of cloth with stains on the surface and some wear around it, which was very carefully folded into four squares, and the original color could no longer be seen. He looked at the cloth in his hand with some dazedness, and forgot what to do for a moment. Or rather, he was afraid, judging from the previous reaction of the ancient dryad, he was afraid that there were some things in the cloth that would make him crazy.
"Babble" The little guy who was squatting on Lili's shoulder shouted with some curiosity when he saw Lili's reaction like this.
At this time, Xiao Li reacted, pursed his lips lightly, and slowly opened the folded cloth.
His lips trembled violently, and his body shook and he almost fell to the ground.
"Puff"
Originally squatting on his shoulders and leaning over to look at the cloth, his body was unbalanced for a moment and he fell forward and rolled out.
His expression became more and more excited, because he saw what was in the cloth, and it was actually the words on the cloth! He remembered the font on it, and he couldn't forget her appearance......
Five years ago in the spring, the grass grew and the warbler flew.
The fog in the early morning was damp and thick, and it seemed to be a little overwhelming, and there was a white cylindrical building in the fog between the mountain passes, looming, and there was a soul pavilion, called the soul pavilion.
There are thousands of soul subordinates, and each chief will send children with soul houses to the soul pavilion to learn and cultivate, in order to enter the cultivation with the soul. There are nearly 100 soul pavilions in the soul department, and in order to distinguish them, they will give one more word between the words "soul" and "pavilion".
Since he was ten years old, after learning that he had a soul house, he rushed to the Soul Pavilion every morning and practiced diligently.
One day five years ago, in the early morning, he walked into the Soul Abyss Pavilion as usual.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, a girl with braided hair greeted her, smiling at Lili, two shallow dimples appeared on both sides of her petal-like lips, which were very sweet, "Oh, this is for you", the girl's delicate and small hand held a codex tied with a red thread, and handed it to Lili.
Stunned, his cheeks immediately flushed, he took the codex a little embarrassed, forgot to reply for a while, and walked straight past the girl's side with his head bowed. The moment you walked by, a smile of surprise appeared on your cheeks.
Seeing this, the girl pouted and walked away with her waist-length braids.
The Soul Pavilion is mostly a cylindrical building, and on the walls enclosed in a circle inside, there are stone caves that are neatly arranged one by one person high, and there is a beginner in each cave, and there are layers of steps on the wall leading to various stone caves. In the middle of the building, there is a bluestone high platform, nearly five zhang from the ground, where the soul master stands, and some experienced older soul cultivators will talk about the method of testing the soul and the art of resisting the soul on the high platform, and these soul cultivators are called soul masters.
He walked into the stone cave under his name, opened the codex with an excited expression, and after seeing the words written on the codex, he was immediately stunned and speechless for a long time. After a while, his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, and he laughed stupidly, muttering, "Since she said so, sure, she must have this intention, but, but how embarrassed am I to ......"
"Knock Knock"
Just when he was hesitant to choose, there was a melodious ringing of the bell outside the Soul Court, and the noise in the Soul Court became quieter, because the bell indicated that it would not be long before the Soul Master arrived.
The voice was small, and his thoughts were concentrated, and through the small window in the stone cave, he looked at the originally thick fog outside gradually dissipated, and bit his lower lip, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision, and secretly said in his heart, "If you can't even do this little thing, what kind of man is you, and what kind of soul cultivator is you!"
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, opened his voice and shouted, "Qing Xu, I, I like you!" When he shouted Qing Xu's name, he exerted all his strength, and although the last few words were quieter, they were still very clear in the empty cylindrical building.
The entire soul court fell silent for a moment, and a group of young soul cultivators, as well as some children, looked in the direction where they were standing, so that they never saw the soul master walk in.
The soul master wearing the black cloak had just entered the soul court, and he didn't hear the shout of Fang Cai, but he saw that a group of people were not like before, and nodded and said, "Not bad!" Listening to his voice, it seemed to be an older female soul cultivator.
"Hahaha~" Suddenly, there was a mess in the soul court.
As soon as the female soul master finished speaking, a group of soul cultivators had just reacted to the previous words and burst out laughing.
"Presumptuous!" the female soul master was full of anger and shouted to stop. However, through the hazy cloak, you can see that there are slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but on her very tight skin, she shows a puzzled look, she doesn't understand, her own 'good', what is funny, but although she is puzzled, as a soul master, it is naturally impossible for her to ask these beginners for advice.
Only then did the young men realize that the soul master had arrived, and they sat down one after another, forced their minds, and looked at the soul master. Only Qing Xu was stunned by the previous shout, his expression changed cloudily, and he didn't even notice the appearance of the soul master.
After hesitating for a moment, Qing Xu leaned out of the stone cave, turned his head and shouted upward, "Stand, I like you too!"
The stone cave where he stands is in the upper direction on the right side of Qingxu, and he can only see it by leaning out.
This time, the young people were forced by the pressure of the female soul master and did not make a fuss, but there was a look of surprise on their faces, and they didn't expect that Qing Xu would make a response.
"Who else wants to confess? Let's all say it......"
The female soul master's words made the young man who had been holding back laugh again.
Originally nervous, with a somewhat pale face, he immediately laughed when he heard Qing Xu's response, and for a while, it seemed that everyone's noise had nothing to do with him.
Looking closely at the somewhat wrinkled codex in his hand, it was crookedly written, "If you like me, say it out loud." ”
Li admires Qingxu's persistence, likes her tender but cheerful personality, admires her elegant and light posture, and is powerless to resist her pair of dimples that smile obviously. All in all, Xiao Li has long been in love with Qing Xu, although she herself has never heard of it, but Xiao Li's partners have already seen it.
In fact, the words on the codex were not written by Qing Xu, but a method that several of his partners came up with in order to match him with Qing Xu. Ming Hao 'coincidentally' met Qing Xu halfway, pretending that he couldn't go to the Soul Yuan Pavilion, and asked her to help hand over the codex to Xiao Li, and said that he wanted to surprise Xiao Li, and didn't want her to mention who asked her.
A few partners originally just wanted to say their hearts to Qing Xu, but when they got it to the codex, they thought it was a test given to him by Qing Xu, and finally made the feat of shouting their hearts loudly in front of everyone in the Soul Pavilion.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find the flaws in it, because the words on the codex are written crookedly, how could Qing Xu, who looks pure and lovely, write such ugly words. However, it is said that people who are deeply in love will get dizzy for a while, and it seems that this is true.
When he first arrived at the Soul Pavilion, he knew very few people, and he was usually not good at talking, and what he did that day was the most daring thing he had ever done before.
In the evening of the same day, he found out the truth of the matter, found Qing Xu, and told Qing Xu the ins and outs of the morning.
Qing Xu smiled at him, took the codex from his hand, wrote a few more words, handed it to him, and said, "You have to remember, my words are like this."
Standing up and unfolding the codex, he nodded heavily, smiled stupidly, and walked to Qing Xu's side, and the two walked side by side on the winding path......
I saw that on the codex, there were a few more elegant and beautiful words, "life and death promise"
