Chapter 51 The Moon is the Ancient City
"Why, you guessed it was me a long time ago?" Ye Tianxing asked. His gaze was calm, and even the river was quiet, which should have been turbulent.
"Heh," Lu Cheng smiled lazily, "How can you see it?" ”
Without rushing to answer Lu Cheng's words, Ye Tianxing, who was in a black suit, first took the umbrella and came to the front of the Nian Beast. His right hand caressed the injured abdomen of the Nian Beast, just like Lu Cheng had done before, and the wound wound that had been wounded by the black dragon also quickly stopped bleeding and healed.
"Because you didn't go all out with those two moves just now." He replied lightly.
"Oh? How do you know I'm not giving my all? Lu Cheng asked.
"Hehe, I think I can tell what temptation is and what is all-out." Ye Tianxing chuckled, dropped the Nian Beast, which was no longer in danger of life, and turned to face Lu Cheng. "You've tried, so what's the result?"
"It's the same as before I tried," Lu Cheng lit up his dark purple pupils and said interestingly, "Even at this point, I still don't know anything about your depths. It's like I'm not sure until now, that Xuanlong hermit is you. ”
"You didn't use 'know', you used 'sure', which means you had a conjecture before that. But I'm very interested, why do you dare to judge that I am the hermit of the Xuanlong three hundred years ago? ”
"It's very simple," Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head, "'Xuan' means 'black' in ancient times. 'Xuanlong Hermit', in fact, is also 'Black Dragon Hermit'. And when it comes to black dragons, guess who will be the first thing that comes to my mind? ”
"That's it?" Ye Tianxing smiled noncommittally, "It's too far-fetched." I am not the only sword master of the black dragon in history, and time alone is not right. Don't forget, the ancestor who sealed the Year Beast lived three hundred years ago. He looked at Lu Cheng and pointed out the most crucial point, and the expression on his face immediately changed to joking, "Or, do you think I can live for three hundred years?" ”
"Why not?" He was looking at Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng was also looking at him and smiling. "Why not think so? From the time I met you, what was there that you couldn't do? In comparison, living for 300 years is not a fantasy. ”
Ye Tianxing's expression suddenly stiffened, he no longer smiled, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant.
"Is that all?"
"Feeling," Lu Cheng added, "that Xuanlong hermit's style is too similar to your brother's. I like to shuttle through the corners of the story.,Have the ability to change the ending.,But never appear as the protagonist head-on.。 Even if he subdued the Nian Beast by himself, what was left in the history of the year was only a vague phantom outlined in a few words. ”
"Well said," Ye Tianxing couldn't help but applaud, "So you deduced that person was me?" ”
"Do you dare to guess? The truth of the matter is often broken into countless pieces, scattered among the seemingly unrelated events you experience. Sometimes the best way to see everything is to use your imagination to connect these things and guess the most unlikely hypothesis. Lu Cheng smiled, "This is what our proprietress said." ”
"Speaking of which, that woman has really taught you a lot." Ye Tianxing laughed. "It's a pity, it's a pity."
"What do you mean?!" Lu Cheng's face changed on the spot. He had vaguely heard something from Ye Tianxing's words, it was about Tang Yuefei, which made him have to wait for it.
"I said this girl was going to leave you soon." Ye Tianxing's tone was still calm.
"Say it clearly. I haven't found that 'Soul Melting Tear' yet, but doesn't it mean that her life won't be in danger in three or five years?! Of course, Lu Cheng remembered that Tang Yuefei's life was exchanged for the blood of the Immortal Monarch, so when it came to leaving him, his first reaction was naturally that there was a problem with the fusion of Yin Spirit.
"Don't worry," Ye Tianxing motioned for him to calm down, "I just said that she would leave you, but I didn't say that her life was in danger." ”
"That's good." Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that there is no danger.
Leave me?
Hehe, I guessed it a long time ago.
Excluding all plausible options, the remaining one, no matter how unacceptable, is the correct answer.
The truth of the matter is often hidden in the casual conversations and seemingly unrelated trivialities of ordinary life.
Dreams, reality, Tang Yuefei's farewell, and the abnormality when getting along.
Lu Cheng smiled bitterly twice, with a hint of choked in his tone, "She's going to get married, right?" ”
Ye Tianxing nodded.
"How do you know?"
Lu Cheng shook his head, casually found a smooth pebble at the bottom of the river and sat on it, his expression looked very gloomy, as if he had already known this, but he didn't dare to hear the facts confirmed.
"I've known this for a long time. I asked her before I went home, and she said she wouldn't be going home for the Chinese New Year. If there is no conflict with the family, how can you be alone and refuse to go home on a day like the Spring Festival? In the two days since I came back, I have been dreaming the same dream every night, in which she was given a big red sedan chair in a red wedding dress, and gradually waved away in the piercing sound of suona and firecrackers. It's obvious enough to imply it, isn't it? ”
He hung his head, "The few days she came to my house, she had insomnia almost every night. I know, that's on the mind. How can I not feel that she is matching me and painting ghosts in disguise? It's probably been a long time since we've been together, and I'm all too clear about every bit of her abnormality. So I wasn't surprised at all when I found out she was gone, because I knew that there were things you couldn't do undo, and you couldn't do anything about them. ”
"Since you've got a premonition, why don't you stop it from happening?"
"Hehe, why should I stop it?" Lu Cheng raised his head, and the king's anger and unwillingness flickered in his pupils, but more than that, it was self-deprecation. "She didn't choose to talk to me about anything. Maybe she also wants me to be with the painting ghost impermanence, right? I don't have the right to interfere with other people's choices, and if she really wanted me to intervene, she wouldn't have said a word about me. Who am I? To put it bluntly, I'm just a small employee in her office, who am I? Who am I to interfere in other people's affairs? ”
"But you like her."
"What about liking? Do you like her the biggest? He burst out laughing so loudly that he was about to burst into tears. I'm not the Lord of Hades anymore. I'm a demon. An out-and-out demon. ”
Silent.
There was a long silence.
The water at the bottom of the Longchuan River blew beside the two of them like a gentle wind, brushing the blade of the black dragon, and emitting a low whimpering hum.
Ye Tianxing sat down beside Lu Cheng and stopped talking.
The night is like this, and the stars are moving.
"Who is she going to marry?" Lu Cheng asked.
"The eldest son of the Wizard Family." Ye Tianxing's answer was very direct.
"Zhang Lingduan?"
"No, his brother, Zhang Muyan."
"Family marriage?"
"Yes."
"Wedding?"
"Undecided, but tonight is the time for the two families to meet. According to the customs of the eight major families, after exchanging media tokens with each other, the marriage is irretrievable. ”
"That means it's too late, isn't it?" Lu Cheng smiled, and a deep feeling of tiredness and powerlessness suddenly came to his heart. It's so good that the things that have been bothering me for so many days have finally settled after tonight. "So you're here tonight to tell me this, aren't you?" He looked at Ye Tianxing, "Or did you save that year beast by the way?" ”
"That's not what I'm really trying to say." Ye Tianxing shook his head. "She once used the 'Soul Pact' of the Ghost Pupil Clan to peek into your heart, right?"
Lu Cheng frowned, until he remembered that it seemed that Tang Yuefei had indeed used some kind of spell to watch the impression of the face of the Nian Beast in his mind, then he nodded, "Yes, so what?" ”
"Did she tell you that the Ghost Pupils can only use life spells once in their lives?" Ye Tianxing's tone suddenly became very strange, like an outsider's relief, like a mockery of the authorities.
"What do you mean?! What do you mean by 'Life Spell'?! ”
"This kind of spell can only be used once in a lifetime on one target by a Ghost Pupil Clansman. Once determined, there is no reversal. Ye Tianxing said slowly, "That is equivalent to planting a unique seed that belongs only to oneself in another person's heart, and its significance is no less than the virgin flower crown of a woman in ancient times. ”
Lu Cheng's expression stiffened little by little.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"It's nothing," Ye Tianxing smiled, "I just envy you." There was once a girl from the Ghost Pupil Clan who left such a spiritual pact for me, do you know? ”
"And then?"
"Later, I didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was an obstacle to me, so I forcibly erased the seed she left in my heart." Speaking of this, his gaze suddenly drifted far away, as if he would be flooded with memories and tears at any time, "It wasn't until many years later that I found out in an unintentional reading of the classics that in ancient times, a ghost pupil clan member gave a soul contract that she only had in her life, which means that her life has found the place where her heart belongs." ”
Originally...... Is that so?
knew that he was going to get married, so he took the last opportunity to give him the soul contract.
Why...... What if you don't say it?
Lu Cheng sighed and closed his eyes deeply. He seemed to see that day again, the girl in the red wedding dress smiled and waved at him, and tears rained down at the moment when the sedan chair was gone.
"It's too late." He said.
"I wouldn't be here tonight if it wasn't too late." Ye Tianxing chuckled and turned around, he gently patted the head of the New Year Beast, and the body of this primeval beast began to swell suddenly! In just a few seconds, it has uncontrollably transformed into a fiery golden horn shape!
"Sealed you here for three hundred years, and as compensation, gave you a free talent: Flowing Fire." He said to the young beast that was dying a moment ago but now it was in full spirit, "It can be used a total of three times, it comes with a fire-shaped shield when used, it is immune to damage, it lasts for one minute, and the effect is a long-distance flight, teleporting thousands of miles, and the end of the world is at hand." ”
The beast of Amnesty, whose hooves flew on the spot, and the flames all over its body soared three feet high because of the intense excitement.
Ye Tianxing smiled and brushed his mane, and looked back at Lu Cheng, "Riding this Nian beast, you can rush to the Tang family in Kyoto in an instant, the time has not passed, the exchange ceremony of the media has not been completed, and everything is still in time." ”
Lu Cheng's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him at all, "Wait! I'm still a demon now, what can I do even if I arrive? ”
Ye Tianxing glanced at him disdainfully, "What about the demon?" Whoever dares to stop you can just cut it. What a hassle. After speaking, with a wave of one hand in front of him, the monstrous demonic energy instantly gathered!
Lu Cheng looked at his body back to normal in disbelief, never expecting that the body that he thought had been completely demonized would actually return to normal in the other party's thoughts.
Yes, the demonic aura on him has faded. The bloodline of the demon race, which had already controlled the whole body, was suddenly sealed in a corner on the left side of the atrium, and the bloodline belonging to the human regained control of the entire body!
"You're human now, what's the problem?"
"Nope!" He nodded heavily, and flew onto the back of the Nian Beast.
"Wait a minute," this time it was Ye Tianxing who stopped him, "Although it has returned to normal, the corresponding momentum is also less." To be honest, if you go to rob a marriage like this, you won't be beaten to death, and you will have to unload your arms and legs, and it will be too ugly at that time. ”
After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a flowing fire robe hung down from Lu Cheng's shoulders!
In the fire clouds around the beast's body, the black ancient sword and black dragon chanted a low dragon chant, and Ye Tianxing clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Make do." It's time to go. This flowing cloud fire robe is the twelfth Hades Monarch Lu He in the history of psychics, and now it is borrowed from you, which can be regarded as a good fit. ”
Lu Cheng suddenly wanted to cry with some emotion, "Brother, you are really my nobleman!" Are there any other magic weapons, borrow and use them, they are all your own brothers, you're welcome! ”
Ye Tianxing rolled his eyes, "It's quite a lot." The black dragon has been given to you, what else do you want? A year beast that has obtained the bloodline of fire walking, coupled with the flowing cloud fire robe, even if the five great Yan monarchs who are in Kyoto at this time make a move at the same time, they can't help you kid. Also, who calls you a brother? You're not polite to call me grandpa, you know? ”
"I know, I know!" Lu Cheng nodded perfunctorily.
"Let's go. Time waits for no one. ”
It was night, from the Longchuan River, there was a fire rushing to the sky, pointing straight to the sky.
The painters on the shore looked at the river that was gradually subsiding, and the worry between their eyebrows never diminished.
