Chapter 50: Recognizing Reality
The disciple had fluffy hair, bangs covering his eyes, his small body seemed to have a proud body, and he looked like he would rather bend than bend the temperament, he bent down and picked up the long sword on the ground, the heavy long sword, gave him a cold touch, he just wanted to take a closer look, but was interrupted by a voice.
Lou Yi walked up to this disciple, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me." ”
The disciple was suddenly at a loss, looked up blankly, looked at him with wide eyes, and obediently handed over the long sword in his hand.
"No frost?" Lou Yi asked out loud.
But Wushuang quickly lowered his head, as if he didn't hear what he said, and fled away.
Ten minutes later, in the queue to go back, Lou Yi finally found Lu Xueyuan, ran forward, and handed over the Lone God Sword to her.
Lu Xueyuan looked at Lou Yi standing in front of her, looked at the Lone God Sword in her hand, and there was no half joy, she picked up the sword, and said coldly: "Thank you," raised her feet and prepared to move forward.
"A-Yuan," Lou Yi grabbed her arm, made her look into his eyes, and said to her: "You left without looking back, and you didn't even want the Lone God Sword, aren't you, angry with me?" Lou Yi's voice is immature, but it is clear and good.
"Why am I mad at you?" Lu Xueyuan glanced at him, turned his face away, and asked rhetorically.
"You... Eat Murong Yao's vinegar, right? Lou said that she ignored herself, but she was not angry, and when she asked this sentence, she still had a smile on her lips.
"She's just my cousin, I've always treated her as a sister, and she's away alone, and no one is around to take care of her, so I, as an older brother, deserve more care. But Ah Yuan," he suddenly stretched out his finger and swore to Lu Xue Yuan: "You believe me Ah Yuan, when I go back this time, I will send her away, and I will never appear by my side again!" Please believe me, there is only one you in my heart and what I love, from beginning to end! ”
Lou Yiyi is sincere, Rao will be moved by his true feelings when he hears it, but Lu Xueyuan is no longer the little girl who can recover with a coax when she is angry. On this road, she also thought a lot, about Lou Yi's life experience and the relationship between ghosts and gods, sometimes she couldn't even tell whether she was in love with the person she loved and feared, or the simple and honest King Qiong in front of her, who thought about everything for herself.
But even Lou Yi, there are too many obstacles between them to measure, what kind of life is the prince and noble, she is a little orphan, she can't imagine that two people who are originally very different from each other, even if they intersect for a short time, one day, they will return to the right track.
After next month, the disciples who broke through the foundation building period would be able to go down the mountain to try, and she thought that at that time, it would be time for them to separate.
Lu Xueyuan looked at his eyes, withdrew his arm, regained his former calm, and said to him: "I'm not jealous, and I'm not angry with you, Princess Murong is originally the most suitable person for you in the Nine Domains, as for whether you like her or not, that's your own business, I don't care." But Lou Yi, I will still treat you as a bosom friend, and you don't need to, deliberately emphasize anything. ”
"Confidant... Friend? Lou Yi muttered to himself.
Lu Xueyuan had already walked away at this time, leaving only a back figure, leaving him in place.
………………
In the evening, after everyone returned to Qingya Mountain, they obeyed Qi Zhurong's instructions and went back to their respective dormitories to sleep. Now that he finally arrived at Qingya Mountain, as soon as Qi Zhurong finished his order, he scattered directly, and no one could take care of anyone.
Lu Xueyuan was also going back to the dormitory, but she suddenly thought that when she was in a hurry to fight with the Millennium Tree Demon today, the blood in her hand seemed to play a great role, so she came to the Washing Immortal Pavilion and wanted to ask what was going on.
But as soon as she reached the door of the temple, she heard a whisper inside.
"Master, this parade is because the disciples didn't do it and couldn't take care of the junior brothers and sisters, so they suffered from danger, and in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, they broke into a big disaster." The speaker is none other than the elder brother of the Hechen faction, Qi Zhurong.
"Oh? What have you done? Tell me about it as a teacher? Bai Duchen was sitting on top of the jade collapse, with a game of seven games in front of him, playing against himself, and when he saw Qi Zhurong coming to his palace, he didn't stop the chess pieces in his hand.
Qi Zhurong told him about what happened in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers today, and he continued: "It's Senior Sister Xue Yuan, finally... In the end, he turned the tide and saved the names of more than a dozen disciples! This time, thanks to my sister! Qi Zhurong said, sincerely praising Lu Xueyuan, although he was very surprised when she had such an ability, but he was not half displeased, on the contrary, he had long felt that his little junior sister was a unique talent, not to be underestimated, just wait for when, the wind and clouds will change, spread their wings and take off. Right now, he can be regarded as having seen Lu Xueyuan's hidden true strength, and he admires his master very much, he can take her under his door at such a young age, and he will definitely become the pride of Qingya Mountain in the future.
Twilight fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand and did not speak.
"It's just Master, the disciple has something unclear," he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Please also ask Master to solve your doubts." ”
After Bai Duchen nodded, he said: "The danger we encountered in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers this time was caused by a pair of footprints..." ”
"After that, the disciples followed the footprints and found that there was a cave where the footprints disappeared, but it was getting late at that time, and the disciples did not go to the cave, but ......" Qi Zhurong hesitated and didn't say anything more, he thought in his heart, but he relied on his intuition to go down the mountain for many years to remove filth, and the cave always gave him a gloomy feeling, this time the thousand-year-old tree demon was also, a good thousand-year-old tree, how did it become a monster that sucked people's physical strength and spirits?
This incident made him unbelievable.
After listening to his words, Bai Duchen probably understood what he meant, put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chessboard, waved down his sleeves from the jade collapse, and sat up straight.
Facing Qi Zhurong, he glanced at it twice, and said, "Okay, the teacher already knows about this matter, and he will go to Wanhua Valley to check, and he is tired of taking his disciples today, so go back and rest early." ”
"Okay master, disciple obeys." After Qi Zhurong finished speaking, he put down his arm and walked towards the gate of the Hechen Palace.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Lu Xueyuan waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Senior sister? It's so late, what are you looking for Shizun? As soon as Qi Zhurong saw her, his face was filled with a doting smile and asked.
"Ahh I wish you a good brother, I am interested in... Sword... ......Lu Xueyuan stood outside the door, scratched her head, and was trying to think of excuses in her mind for Qi Zhurong's question.
"Yuan'er, come in." It just so happened that at this time, Bai Duchen's voice sounded in the Washing Immortal Pavilion, instantly rescuing her from an invisible embarrassing situation.
"Senior brother, I'll go first." After Lu Xueyuan dropped these words, he ran to the hall without looking back.
Qi Zhurong shook his head with a helpless smile and walked out.
In the Washing Immortal Pavilion, Lu Xueyuan looked at the master who was sitting upright, and did not speak for a while. Bai Duchen glanced at her a few times intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er is so late, come to find a teacher, don't just come and see." ”
"I ......" Lu Xueyuan hesitated, but suddenly plucked up his courage and said directly: "Actually, I came this time to ask Master, you said before that I am a phoenix bloodline and have the fire of Nirvana, what does this mean?" And, my blood... Seems to make the dryad fearful! ”
After she said these words in one breath, she lowered her head and looked at her master with a pitiful look.
After listening to what Qi Zhurong said, Bai Duchen's heart was blocked, and he was thinking about going to Wanhua Valley another day to deal with this tricky matter quietly, but now he was suddenly amused by Lu Xueyuan's cute and unconscious appearance in front of him.
In his warm eyes, there was joy visible to the naked eye.
Bai Duchen raised his chin slightly, squinted at her, and said, "What? Yuan'er also has times when he is afraid? As soon as he finished joking, he stood up, walked to Lu Xueyuan's side, and reached out to stroke her hair quietly.
"As a teacher, I haven't seen Yuan'er like this for a long time, I remember that before, Yuan'er's hair was still combed for the teacher."
Lu Xueyuan looked at the ground silently, under his broad palm, supple like a kitten, enjoying the caress of his master.
But Bai Duchen's hand stopped at the next moment, as if it was trembling slightly, and the soft love in his eyes also turned into forbearance and reluctance.
He looked out the window at the watery night, and said: "The ancient phoenix clan is a divine object born after the war between heaven and earth, and has the ability to reach the heavens and the earth. And as the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan, you naturally have unexpected energy, it can be said that from the Phoenix Clan alone, you shoulder the supreme responsibility, but you can be a teacher but do not want you to participate in this catastrophe that does not belong to you. ”
The night is dark and bright, and the Kong Ming lanterns floating up from the far mountain are like fireflies in the sky like fireflies on a winter night, adding a sense of agility to the quiet night.
Lu Xueyuan also walked to Bai Duchen's side, looked at the bright spots in the sky with him, and stood quietly beside him.
This was the first time she had led the way, and there was no outlet to refute his opinion.
Bai Duchen seemed to feel her change and silence, and looked back and said, "Presumably, Yuan'er's blood can kill the demon, which is why the tree demon died." My Yuan'er," he said, looking at the distant sky again, let out a white breath, and continued:
"After all, I've grown up."
Lu Xueyuan looked up, his eyes swept over the tails of his master's eyes, and his nose was slightly, only then did he realize that his master's expression had always been the same, like a cold and noble god in the sky, who was accidentally beaten into the mortal world, guarding the pure land here from beginning to end, and the peace of the world, how could he really understand the suffering of the world when he was so cold and noble.
So, what she wants, for someone who already has, will never be worth it.
