Chapter 58: Ten Miles of Red Makeup
"What?" Ambiguous and unknown.
"Some truths are not what you can get from the book, just like the death of the eight thousand immortal soldiers is difficult to say whether it was the work of the Demon Venerable, but 80,000 years ago, Emperor Jun bit to death because the Demon Venerable wanted to annex the Three Realms and declared war on it."
"In my opinion, the real instigator of the war between gods and ghosts is the Immortal Clan's Emperor Jun, if he hadn't been suspicious, my parents would not have been sent to the battlefield to fight to the death with the Demon Venerable, which is why I don't want to have an affair with the Immortal Clan."
Xi He frowned and argued, "But in this world, only the Demon Venerable can hold the power of ghosts and gods, and the eight thousand immortal soldiers were indeed killed by the power of ghosts and gods, how can this be explained?" ”
"I don't know if my sister has ever heard of the Spirit Bead?"
She hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I think I've heard the name, but I don't know exactly what it's for. ”
"The Spirit Bead is not such a powerful treasure, the only thing it can use is that it can absorb a part of his spell cultivation from anyone's body, even the Ancient Demon Venerable, after absorbing it, it can be temporarily used for his own use." He paused and said, "There are not many people who know about the existence of the Spirit Turning Bead, and I only found out about it by looking through hundreds of ancient books." ”
"That means that my master's last injury by the fire of the Ghost God may not have been caused by the Demon Venerable?"
Yu Jingzi's eyes moved, and she smiled wistfully, and replied, "Maybe." ”
Xihe was silent for a moment, looked at the somewhat bright sky, and said lightly, "Yujingzi, in fact, I have never believed that the person who hurt my master was him. ”
Yu Jingzi stared at her side face, she pursed her lips and seemed to be entangled, and heard her say, "Although I have heard a lot of evil deeds and evil words about the Demon Venerable, but in the more than two months I have really spent with him, I feel that he and the rumored him are like two people, it is not ruled out that he is hypocritical, if that is the case, then he is really good to pretend." ”
It's so good that she is the only one who is too deep in the play and mistakenly thinks it is true.
It was freezing cold, and the two of them got up much earlier than ordinary people, and when they reached the ancient tree, there was no one around.
She raised her head and looked at the branches of the tall ancient tree covered with red prayer cloths, and she asked with some curiosity, "Yujingzi, this tree is so tall, how did the people in the village hang it?" ”
He took two steps to the side, pointed to a bamboo pole covered with snow, and replied, "Naturally, I made a hook bamboo pole and hung it on a branch with the help of a bamboo pole." ”
If he hadn't pointed it, Xihe wouldn't have seen a long bamboo pole next to the ancient tree, and an iron hook was hung on the top of the bamboo pole, she laughed and said, "If I hadn't been able to think of such a clever solution." ”
"My sister is being self-conscious, but I think my sister is much smarter than me." He laughed.
Xihe slowly walked to the ancient tree, swept away all the snow on the bamboo pole, and said to Yujingzi, who was following behind him, "Then let's use this bamboo pole to hang it too." ”
He smiled and nodded.
When she picked up the bamboo pole, she realized that an ordinary bamboo pole was so heavy, and she hung the red cloth strips of both of them on the hook at the top, and when she lifted it, her arms trembled.
Yu Jingzi walked around her from behind, covering her beautiful two hands on the back of her small hands, her hands instantly warmed a lot, and Yu Jingzi's clean and clear voice came from above her head, "I'll help you." ”
After hanging up, Xi He stepped back for a distance, and when he looked up again, countless strips of red cloth shook with the wind and snow, and the strips of red cloth they had just hung together had been submerged in the Red Sea, hanging on this 10,000-year-old tree like other ordinary strips of red cloth.
On the night after she returned, Yujingzi blew too much cold wind, and her body became worse, and even her voice was weak when she talked to her, and she couldn't see a trace of blood on her pale face.
Xihe sat in the warm tent with him, and he didn't say a word, and the man opposite always let out a suppressed cough from time to time.
Xihe used all the mana in his body to help him relieve the pain and aging of his body, but it was useless for Yu Jingzi, if ordinary immortals and demons lost all their cultivation, most of them would dissipate on the spot, but fortunately, his cultivation was profound, and he could still survive for a few days.
For him, having some time with his loved ones before he dies is already dead without regrets.
He half-leaned into Xihe's arms, and when he saw the two tears falling from his hand, he smiled tiredly and said slowly, "Sister, why are you crying?" Are you in love with me? ”
He forced himself to sit up and look at her, raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on her face, and said, "Sister, don't cry, I'm just old, haven't you seen that older people cough and wheeze?" ”
Seeing that she was still crying and her eyes were red, he jokingly coaxed, "You say, I am tens of thousands of years older than you and call you sister all day long, aren't you angry?" ”
She shook her head.
He laughed again, "You want to take advantage of me so much?" ”
As soon as he spoke, he coughed violently again, his chest rose and fell, and a mouthful of blood spit on his body rapidly, even splashing some of the Xihe who was next to him, Yujingzi quickly wiped the blood from her hands and sleeves, panting, and complaining, "Sister, you ...... It should be away from me...... It's a little farther away....ahem..... ”
He struggled to his feet and ran out of the tent, and the cold wind blowing in his face sucked into his mouth and nose, but he coughed even worse, and he half-knelt in the snow and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Yukyoko!"
Xihe chased him out and helped him, but Yujingzi pushed her to the side, and urged in a hoarse voice, "Sister, it's cold outside, you ..... go into the house quickly......"
As soon as the sound fell, Yujingzi was about to fall down with a muffled sound.
Xihe hugged him tightly in his arms, and just when she was at a loss, Xue Gu suddenly appeared in front of them, and when she saw this scene, her pupils shook, and her whole heart was pinched together in an instant.
Xihe cried, "Senior sister, you came just in time, you save him, he has been vomiting blood..... woo woo ....."
"Xihe, don't worry." Xue Gu could only comfort her.
She knew in her heart that even if she could temporarily stabilize his illness and torture now, it would change the end of Buyu Jingzi's fate.
After returning to the house, Xihe stayed by Yujingzi's bedside, Xuegu stood behind her for a long time, and seeing that the person on the bed still hadn't woken up, she couldn't help but speak, "Xihe, if you don't go back, Master may find out about your private affairs." ”
After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Wait, I'll leave when he wakes up." ”
"Xi and ....." She was still about to say something, but when she saw the man on the bed with a pale complexion and a weak breath, she paused and said, "Don't be too late." ”
After finishing speaking, her gaze stayed on Yu Jingzi's face for another moment before turning back to the Heavenly Palace.
Xihe didn't know how long she had waited, she only felt that her legs and feet kneeling beside the bed were numb, and when she heard a slight sound in her ears, she immediately opened her eyes and was relieved to see Yu Jingzi wake up, "Are you awake?" ”
She tried to pick him up, but he refused.
He smiled softly, "Sister, you will make me feel like a useless wretch. ”
"If you can be safe, even if you are a useless waste, I will always take care of you." She said.
He put it on his arm and smiled, "Then forget it, I don't like to eat soft rice." ”
She frowned and said, "How can this be called eating soft rice?" Besides, you don't even want your life for me, what is it for me to take care of you for the rest of your life. ”
"Sister, let's not talk about this." He looked at her and changed the subject, "I want to take you somewhere." ”
"Where?"
He smiled mysteriously at her, took her shoulders and led her to the foot of the Snake Mountain.
As soon as he landed, Xihe slashed his head and roared, "Are you crazy? When your body is just better, you can use your mana as you like! If you continue to mess around like this, I'll be unkind to you. ”
"Sister, don't be angry, I know it's wrong, I'll listen to you and never use mana again." He was so aggrieved that he confessed his mistake to her.
Although Xihe is angry, he will definitely not bother with him.
It was dark, and if it weren't for the towering and majestic stone gate standing in front of her, she probably wouldn't know where she was, and she wondered, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
He said, "I'll know later." ”
With a wave of his hand, a faint light immediately appeared in front of her eyes, and then one after another, the lamps were connected into pieces, and the lights became brighter and brighter, extending ten miles upwards from her eyes, winding up the mountain, illuminating the entire Snake Mountain.
The snake mountain in front of her was lit up by thousands of red lanterns at the moment, and the red candles were bright, which also reflected her eyes.
She looked into the man's eyes full of love in disbelief, "It's you..... you...."
His eyebrows were crooked, and his clear and bright eyes were full of stars and her, "Sister, this is the ten-mile red makeup I promised you, although you haven't promised to marry me yet, but ..... I may not be able to wait for that day." ”
He looked at the red scene in front of him, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Sister, if you meet your beloved in the future, if he can't even compare to what I gave you, you don't have to agree to him easily, you know?" ”
I couldn't cry anymore.
Yu Jingzi raised his hand to wipe her tears, his hand did not have a trace of warmth, and it was so cold that her face was almost unconscious.
He said gently, "Sister, don't cry, your eyes are swollen, I will feel distressed." ”
How could she not cry?
At this moment, her heart hurt more than his, and she almost couldn't breathe.
He stretched out a hand and whispered, "Sister, can you accompany me up the mountain from here?" It's just a dream of mine. ”
She looked at the hand that was reaching out to her, thin as dry wood, white and dazzling.
She placed her hand in his palm and held his hand tightly, warming it up.
Xihe let him lead him and walk slowly along the mountain road under his feet.
They walked very slowly, and after walking a little way up the mountain, Yujingzi began to panting, and she worried, "Why don't we go up directly?" ”
He shook his head and said firmly, "It's okay sister, I'm just a little tired, just take a break." ”
She sat on a big rock with him, the wind and snow were blind, and Xihe saw that the fox coat on his body was blown crooked, and the wind and snow hit his chest, she quickly squatted in front of him to tie the belt of the coat for him, and wrapped his coat, and then her eyes fell on the red peace charm on his waist.
He really wears it all the time.
But it doesn't seem to keep him safe.
Her eyes were astringent, and warm tears fell on her hands, which were extremely painful.
At this time, her hand was suddenly held by another cold hand,
Xihe looked up at him, and he was smiling at himself, laughing weakly and tiredly.
She held back tears.
"Sister, your hands are a little cold."
His hands took her little hand and brought it to his lips to breathe softly, and when he lowered his head, two strands of white hair slid down his ears and landed on his chest.
They sat for a while, and before they could take two steps forward, Yujingzi's crumbling body fell, and Xi He took him in his arms, already in tears.
From the time he warmed her hands, she had noticed that the temperature on his body was getting colder and colder, and she knew that his life had come to an end.
She didn't say a word, she just wanted to accompany him to do what he wanted.
