Outside the palace.

In a quiet courtyard, Jin Yan hung boredly on an old locust tree that is said to be thousands of years old.

The courtyard was already remote and quiet, and the old locust tree grew in the secluded southwest corner of the seldom visited, but now it was late at night, and it was even quieter.

Some people may have been here before, and some people may have paid attention to this tree, but no one knows that this thousand-year-old locust tree has given birth to its own consciousness and has stood here for thousands of years, and it has witnessed countless histories as a bystander or witness.

Those legends, absurd, and great short-lived histories have finally been integrated into the long river of time, and only the old locust tree has survived wars and natural disasters, survived all man-made disasters, and finally survived luckily and became a witness to history.

A wind sounded by, and Jin Yan, who couldn't feel the cold, subconsciously touched his arm, and the wind behind him became quieter.

The familiar breath came to his face, and Jin Yan was pleasantly surprised: "Take the shadow!" You're back? ”

Chengying said "um".

When he returned, Jin Yan was talking to the old locust tree.

The old locust tree only had consciousness, and he couldn't transform into a human form, nor could he speak, because he didn't understand how Jin Yan communicated with the old locust tree.

But it doesn't matter, Jin Yan is happy.

Chengying handed a few hot meat buns to Jin Yan, and then stood beside Jin Yan with a sword.

Jin Yan had already eaten a lot in the palace and was not so hungry, but he still opened the meat bun.

She just ate one, remembered something and said, "Do you have to keep this handsome action at all times?" ”

Chengying: "......"

Handsome?

"Handsome" he knows.

The meaning of "handsome" does not seem to be difficult to guess.

Chengying: "If Your Highness doesn't like ......"

"I don't like it, I'm afraid that you're tired, and you're not tired, so it's good to stand." Jin Yan said.

It's just that as soon as her words landed, the shadows around her moved.

Soon, Chengying sat down on the trunk of the tree next to her, and he followed her example, his legs dangling in mid-air.

More, such as shaking legs and feet or something, Chengying can't do it anyway.

Looking at his appearance, Jin Yan chuckled, Chengying's face did not change, but his eyes obviously glanced at Jin Yan.

"If you want to see it, don't be sneaky, when I can't see it?" Jin Yan said.

Chengying: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he really turned around and stared at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan: "......"

Looking at the handsome and miserablely handsome face that suddenly approached, she was stunned for a moment, and soon calmly stretched out her hand and pushed the beauty away.

"Your Highness......"

"It's fine."

"Hmm."

Jin Yan ate two buns, and the third one took a bite, and a cold white hand reached over and took the bun wrapped in oiled paper from her hand.

She looked over puzzled, "What for?" ”

Chengying didn't answer, but just ate the bun that was missing a small bite in three or two bites.

Jin Yan: "Didn't you eat before you came back?" ”

Chengying shook his head.

Jin Yan was speechless, "Then if you didn't say it earlier, I would have left one more for you if I knew it." ”

She wasn't hungry, but she didn't want to waste some of her thoughts, so she ate two more.

As a result, Chengying didn't eat it himself.

Chengying shook his head, "One is enough, I'm not hungry." ”

He knew that it was impossible for Jin Yan to go hungry when he came out of the palace, but he would always have the image of Jin Yan wandering around that steamed bun shop in his mind, so he bought a few steamed buns.

He had finished the bun in three bites, and he folded the oiled paper, and he flew down and threw it into the pile of fallen leaves, and returned to the tree, where he sat down again.

Jin Yan moved his butt slightly, leaned next to Chengying, sniffed the smell on his body, and asked, "How many people have you killed?" ”

Chengying: "I don't count. ”

Jin Yan stretched out her hand and began to pull his clothes, and before Chengying could react, she had already finished reading it.

I didn't find any obvious traces, so I asked, "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

As if he had heard some innocent question, he turned his head, and a little smile appeared in his eyes, "Your Highness, there are not many people in this world who can hurt me." ”

"Really? So powerful? Jin Yan chuckled and teased him.

After a pause, he turned his head back.

Jin Yan asked him again, "Killing so many people, will it affect your cultivation?" ”

Chengying: "......"

Before he could say the word "no", Jin Yan said again: "Probably not, you listened to my order to save my brother, you killed those people to complete the task ......of protecting your brother, you just killed people indirectly, I really killed those people, so even if there is a killing, you should be retributed to me."

Chengying's expression changed slightly, and he interrupted her sharply, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. ”

Jin Yan was stunned.

Seeing her stunned appearance, Chengying's expression eased again, and he said softly: "I just made a louder voice, Your Highness atoned for your sins, but these words, Your Highness will not say them again in the future." ”

Jin Yan seemed to be scared, and whispered, "Can't say? ”

I had never seen her so cautious, and Chengying thought that he had scared her, and he felt guilty, so he whispered: "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that it's ...... in this world."

"It's not that you can't say it, that's right, but I know what you mean, you're afraid that the retribution for killing will happen to me." Jin Yan said.

Chengying was silent.

Jin Yan sighed, leaned over to the side, leaned lazily on Chengying's shoulder, and said in a soft voice, "I was originally an evil spirit born with a curse, do you still care about killing more?" ”

Chengying clenched his sword tightly, his expression dark.

Jin Yan touched his shoulder with his head, chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of?" ”

Chengying didn't answer.

What is he afraid of?

He is afraid of things that he can't control, and when he meets people he can't beat, he's afraid of ......

In the corner where Jin Yan couldn't see, his eyes fell on Jin Yan again at some point.

Jin Yan didn't know the eyes of Chengying.

She said, "I'm not afraid, anyway, if I'm in trouble, you will definitely come to save me", and with a low "um" in front of her, a young Taoist priest walked in front of her.

The little Taoist priest bowed in the direction where Jin Yan was, and then said: "The National Teacher commanded, tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is not easy to hurry, please go to the wing room to rest." ”

Jin Yan poked Chengying's arm, "Did you say he could see me?" ”

Shadow's arm shrank almost invisibly, and he said, "I don't know, but it's not important." ”

Jin Yan: "You're right, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, it doesn't matter if you see it or not, since you have come here, let's stay first." ”

With that, she jumped from the tree first.

knew that she wouldn't fall and get hurt, but Chengying still hung her heart.

But at the moment when Jin Yan jumped down, a dry branch gently supported her with an extremely soft attitude.

Jin Yan fell to the ground safe and sound.

Chengying was relieved.

The little Taoist priest silently recited a few words.
