Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Search for the Sacred Flint
"But where are you going to find the flint?" Lu Xueyuan stood in front of the ancient vine and looked at Lou Yidao.
"I know." Lou Yi smiled at her, with an indescribable gentle look in his eyes, and reached out to brush the fine hair on her face. Sincerely and quietly whispered: "A-Yuan don't worry, I will help you solve all your troubles." ”
The moment Lu Xueyuan looked at his eyes, he seemed to see the shadow of the underworld, as well as the familiar faint fragrance.
She involuntarily took a step back, frowned, and said, "Why are you helping me so much?" What the hell are you for! ”
Lu Xueyuan's vigilance is difficult to eliminate, but she can't be blamed, if a man who looks exactly the same suddenly disappears and then suddenly appears, with different identities and a great change in temperament, anyone will not be able to stop doubting.
Lou Yi was lost for a moment, but he instantly changed his smiling face.
"I know A-Yuan's fear and worry, but can you not do this to me! Because between heaven and earth, the last thing I want to hurt is Ayuan. ”
He stepped forward and said: "Moreover, I am a person without spiritual roots, it is my long-cherished wish in this life to come here, to help A-Yuan become the person she wants to be, and it can also be regarded as another way for me to realize myself." Lou Yi smiled after speaking, Danfeng's deep eyes became affectionate and lonely, like a galaxy full of fireworks, all the splendor disappeared in an instant, and it was difficult to hide the deep background.
"No spiritual roots??" Lu Xueyuan kept circling this sentence in her mind, as a person whose spiritual root could not be revealed, she felt that it was difficult to cultivate immortals, let alone a person without a spiritual root, it was not equivalent to being sentenced to death from birth.
Lu Xueyuan didn't know what to say for a while, it turned out that Lou Yi, who was carefree on the outside and worry-free about food and clothing, would also have such a secret, but he couldn't change the fact. Not only was she powerless to do anything about herself, but she couldn't help him in the slightest.
"I..." Lu Xueyuan didn't know how to comfort him in order to look less pale.
But Lou Yi interrupted her and gently hugged her in his arms, like holding a fragile glass doll.
"A-Yuan doesn't need to do anything for me, as long as he can let me be by your side, it is my greatest wish."
Lou Yi was a few feet tall, but he leaned over and gently hugged the girl in front of him, as a relative of the emperor, but he only hoped to be by her side all the time, Lu Xueyuan was hard-hearted, and he was touched for a moment. She stretched out her hand, slowly, and hugged Lou Yi tightly.
The two of them hugged quietly under the wisteria tree, and the wind sprinkled the petals on the bodies of the boy and girl, with some charming tenderness and beauty.
Hundreds of years later, Lu Xueyuan recalled that if time could stand still, she hoped that she could stay at this moment for one more second and keep this fragile teenager like a dream.
…………
That night, Lu Xueyuan had a dream, and the dream was still an endless flower bank on the other side, but what was waiting for her at the end was not a man in red clothes and silver hair, but a slightly immature face and eyes full of tenderness like spring water, which was Lou Yi.
When she woke up this time, she was already in her third day, and she was obviously not scared to wake up.
The next day, they made an appointment to meet by the river, and Lu Xueyuan only had a simple meal and went to the tree to wait for Lou Yi to appear.
But waiting left and right, I still can't wait for that familiar figure.
At that moment, a birdsong was heard in the sky. Lu Xueyuan looked up and found a huge goshawk in the sky, hovering and leaning towards her.
Lu Xueyuan didn't have time to dodge, but was picked up by a pair of hands and dragged directly into her arms, she sat on the huge back of the goshawk, like she had done on the goldenfinch before, prostrate and soared in the air.
The person behind him lightly pressed up, and his hand that rolled up Lu Xueyuan loosened slightly. After Lu Xueyuan noticed it, he sat up straight, turned to him and said, "Why don't you fly out without saying hello." ”
Lou Yi seemed to have expected her to ask such a question, and replied, "If I say it, will Ah Yuan still agree?" ”
Lu Xueyuan smiled and shook her head, she was undoubtedly happy, but she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.
On Qingya Mountain, disciples are not allowed to bring pets up the mountain without permission, and spirit pets are not allowed to appear, probably for the convenience of management, anyway, Lu Xueyuan wanted to raise a white dog when he was a child, but he was stopped by Shizun.
What freedom now!
Lu Xueyuan relaxed his body, opened his arms and embraced the wind like an eagle, feeling the pleasure and freedom of soaring in the distant sky.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to the Holy Fire?" Lu Xueyuan didn't enjoy this pleasure for long, and then he began to worry again.
"A-Yuan, don't worry, the Holy Fire Stone, it's down there."
Lu Xueyuan looked in the direction of Lou Yi's words, and saw a mountain peak, with fiery red maple leaves all over the mountain, shining, looking from afar, like a flaming mountain.
"Chizhu Peak?" Lu Xueyuan exclaimed.
Chizhu Peak is the cultivation position of the fire spell - "Chaohui Sect", because of his bad temper, Master Chi Ye refused all the mundane from the outside world to Chizhu Peak, so even the disciples of Qingya Mountain and the Dust Sect rarely walked around it, Lu Xueyuan was only taken here by Bai Duchen a long time ago to watch a competition.
It was a competition between the chief disciples of several masters, the disciples of the Chaohui faction were all brave and strong, and so were the other factions, and Qi Zhurong won this competition.
Lu Xueyuan remembered that there was a beautiful senior sister at that time, who should be a disciple of the Jade Yin Sect.
Recalling the past, Lu Xueyuan's mood is always extremely complicated.
Lou Yi saw it in his eyes, took out a small square-like stone from his arms and handed it to her.
Lu Xueyuan took the square stone, rolled it in his hand, and saw that there were points engraved on it, and each side was different, some were one, some were two, and some were six.
"What is this?" Lu Xueyuan asked.
"Knowing the dice." Lou Yi replied, he continued: "It can feel the direction and size of spiritual energy, the holy flint we are looking for is a kind of energy stone, no one knows where it is hidden, only the spirit dice can help us find it." ”
So saying, the 'little shadow' led them down to a hill.
The two of them got down from the 'little shadow', Lou Yi touched its round head, and then heard it chirp and flapped its wings, and flew back into the sky, getting smaller and smaller, and then turning into a black dot.
"Is that your mount?" Lu Xueyuan asked.
"It's not." Lou Yi looked at the sky, lowered his eyes again, and replied seriously: "I don't know when it has always been by my side, not so much a mount as a retainer. ”
Lu Xueyuan was attracted by this novel title, and felt that the young man in front of him was not only clean and hearty on the outside, but also very soft on the inside. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled.
Lou saw this, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and said with a doting face: "Ah Yuan is secretly laughing at me again, it seems that Ah Yuan likes me more and more." ”
Before Lu Xueyuan could reach out to fight, he ran away without looking back.
Lu Xueyuan smiled behind her, she hadn't been to this mountain for a long time. The blazing red maple leaves are as enthusiastic as fire, Lu Xueyuan is dressed in a cyan gauze skirt among the maple trees, her eyes are bright and bright, bright as stars, the red iris on her forehead seems to be spiritual, the red light flashes, Lu Xueyuan is like a witch girl born in a distant Miao Territory, although she can't fall into Gu, but she can confuse people's hearts.
Lou Yi turned around at this moment, looking at the woman who was spreading her hands in the mountains and embracing nature, and her heart sank in an instant.
He didn't lie, what he said to Lu Xueyuan was from the bottom of his heart, and there was no lie, if it was unrealistic, it could only be that sentence: "I only know that person is you, as if my only purpose in this life is for you." ”
In fact, what he originally wanted to say was: "I only know that I love you, as if my only purpose in this life is to find you, fall in love with you, and protect you." But he was afraid that this feeling was too heavy, and he was afraid that his A-Yuan would not be able to accept him, so he could only confide in her little by little, making her believe that she was not a momentary joke, but that the world was sincere, and the sun and the moon could be learned.
And now, looking at the person in front of him, he is even more convinced of what he has been waiting for in this life.
"A-Yuan," Lou Xiang stretched out his hand to the girl, "Hold on to me." ”
What is rare is that Lu Xueyuan did not chuckle to stop him this time, nor was he annoyed, but ran forward lightly, stretched out his thin white five fingers, and interlocked with the ten fingers of the man's hand.
The spirit dice in Lou Yi's hand kept turning, they needed to find the whereabouts of the holy flint as soon as possible, determine the direction before taking further action, and be careful about their whereabouts so as not to be discovered by the disciples of the Chaohui faction.
Because Chi Zhu Feng did not allow outsiders to approach, he was set up by Chi Ye Shizun, but many years ago the nodule was damaged, Chi Ye Shizun wanted to repair it, but he didn't know why he delayed, so he ordered his disciples to patrol the mountains every day, and once he found a suspicious whereabouts, he would bring it to the main hall to greet him.
The pain of flesh and skin is not important, Lu Xueyuan is just afraid of affecting Lou Yi, this is originally just her business.
Now the two of them are dressed in green clothes, hiding in the maple forest, and Lou Yi unconsciously holds her hand.
It's still too risky to act like this, Lu Xueyuan grabbed him while thinking about it, stopped and said: "I think it's still inappropriate, just in case, you go back with the 'little shadow' and leave me here, but you might... You need to lend me the dice of the soul. ”
Lu Xueyuan frowned when he saw Lou Yi, his eyes were full of grievance and resentment, and he said, "What? But I can't give up..."
Lou Yi pulled her arm and pulled her to him, as if angry and resentful, "When did I say I was reluctant!" Even if you say you want this star in the sky, I will try my best to pick it up and give it to you! As he said this, he swallowed his throat, his clear Adam's apple squirmed up and down, and Lu Xueyuan's heart was inexplicably hot.
His eyes lowered, and the person in front of him suddenly became discouraged, and said in a low voice, "Didn't A-Yuan think about me?" Leave you here alone, I go, will I feel at ease? He suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled all the broken hair on her face behind her ear, lowered his head and bit Lu Xueyuan's red earlobe, and before she could exclaim, he reached out and pinched her earlobe, "A-Yuan, why don't you understand my heart?" ”
Lu Xueyuan is anxious and annoyed at the moment, anxious that he doesn't care about the occasion and the situation, he only hangs on the love of his children, annoyed that he doesn't know the boundaries of depth and shallowness, and has repeatedly broken through the boundaries, and now she dares to 'bite' her, but she is more ashamed, she knows that the person is affectionate, but she can only pretend that the friendship is stupid and can't tell the difference, can't be traced back, and can't respond to the shame.
With such a 'little ancestor' on the stall, what can she do?
