Chapter 15: So You're Really There
It's like being back in the world of light, and it's like a world away.
Chen Xi relaxed at this moment because of the tense nerves, and even his body shook a little. Maybe no one understands how hard he had worked before, and how difficult it was to overcome himself at such a time. If he wants to fool the person who pies on his heart, he must first fool himself.
He had to make up a person to replace the enemy he had always had in his heart.
In this world, it is the hardest thing to deceive yourself.
You can pretend to believe yourself in a lie, but subconsciously you know what is true and what is not. Chen Xi noticed the abnormality and made a judgment at the first time. But the difficulty is that the other party directly spied into his heart. If you want to hide from the other party, how can it be easy to even deceive your own heart?
Sweat like a pig
Chen Xi even felt that this short moment of facing was more difficult than climbing the second-story tower to resist the flames. Although it is not painful, it is more palpitating.
Then Chen Xi found that he was still standing under the stone steps, and he did not take any steps up at all. And when he went through that just now, he remembered that he had gone up at least three steps.
His heart was cold and shivering.
In other words, from the time he didn't even walk to the front of the steps, he had already been accused. If you push it back, you can be sure that he was completely stuck in it when he was still three steps away from the steps. He stepped up three steps, but he was right in front of them.
This feeling of being controlled by others is very uncomfortable.
However, after a moment, the corners of Chen Xi's mouth were filled with a smile.
This is not necessarily a bad thing.
Until then, he had no way of knowing who was involved in the tragedy. But today, because one of them doubted himself, Chen Xi found a glimmer of light. This person tried to test himself, but he didn't expect that once he was deceived by Chen Xi, he would be caught by Chen Xi.
Inner Sect
A master who can invade people's hearts.
Chen Xi noted this characteristic.
Being able to perform exercises at such a distance to invade Chen Xi's heart shows that this person's cultivation must be very strong. Therefore, the direction has been narrowed to a very direct point, a person with a very high status in the inner sect and knows how to invade the inner practice.
Chen Xi sneered.
Don't worry, wait for me.
Chen Xi collected his mind and began to climb the stone steps.
The moment I stepped on it, the surrounding environment changed again.
What appeared in front of Chen Xi was a vast and extremely beautiful grassland, with blue sky and white clouds, and fragrant grass. The meadow is endless, and in the distance, a flock of snow-white sheep is leisurely grazing on the pasture. It seems that there is a lake not far from the sheep, and the water is still shining.
The air smells of weeds and flowers.
Walking on the grass, the soles of my feet are soft as if I am stepping on cotton. After the smell of the air enters the nose, even the limbs have a special relaxing comfort. Chen Xi walked here, and even had the urge to take off his shoes and run barefoot and shout. But there is another kind of cry that will destroy this peaceful guilt, and here it is so peaceful.
The clouds in the sky floated very slowly, and the sunlight spilled through the gaps in the clouds, and the golden light one by one looked so warm.
Chen Xi stopped and looked around.
Déjà vu.
Then he suddenly realized, isn't this the life he has been faintly looking forward to all these years? All these years, he has been plotting revenge, and he has been careful every step of the way. But deep down there is a desire in my heart, that is, to forget about hatred and live a peaceful life in such a quiet place.
At this moment, suddenly a beautiful girl in a goose yellow dress ran towards him barefoot. The figure is so graceful, and the hair is flowing behind him like a fairy. She is so beautiful, so beautiful that it touches the heart. Whether it is her figure or appearance, I am afraid that no one in this world can beat her.
She flew like a cloud, and the long skirt fluttered with a fragrant breeze.
She arrived in front of Chen Xi and smiled.
Alluring the city and the country.
Her smile is like a spring breeze that warms the ice and snow, just like the warm sunshine in the afternoon, which makes people feel so warm. She ran in front of Chen Xi with a gentle smile in her eyes.
But after Chen Xi saw her appearance clearly, his heart was shocked incomparably!
She turned out to be ...... Willow washes the dust.
......
......
This is absolutely impossible to happen, how could such a cold and arrogant woman have such a gentle smile? All the impressions she gave Chen Xi can be described in four words...... Frosty. How could such a peerless woman who seemed to live in her own world and didn't care about anyone's disputes have such a soft side?
Moreover, Chen Xi was sure that he was not familiar with Liu Xichen before. It's a dream, and it won't be her dream.
If this blue sky and white clouds, this grass and wild flowers, are a kind of yearning for a secluded life in his heart, why does Liu Xichen appear in his yearning?
"Come"
Just when Chen Xi was surprised, Liu Xichen stretched out his soft and white hand and gently held Chen Xi's palm. She turned and ran deep into the prairie. Chen Xi was a little stiff and ran forward by her hand, not knowing what was going on. Why did Liu Xichen appear in her own inner world, and why did she pull herself to run?
But
It's a really good feeling.
Comfortable and relaxing.
There is not a hint of caution and there is nothing to worry about.
The two of them laughed and ran, breathing the fresh air of the grassland and expressing the depression in their hearts. I don't know when, Chen Xi threw away the flat burden behind his back, took off his shoes, and ran barefoot on the grass like willow washing. The two of them are like a pair of butterflies that are entangled and fluttering with each other, carefree.
The sky was quietly darkening, and the sunset, which was extremely beautiful, seemed to be right in front of me.
Chen Xi and Liu Xichen held hands and stood side by side under an old tree that I didn't know how many hundred years old, the crown of the tree was like a huge canopy, and the leaves were actually colorful. The two of them stood quietly side by side, watching the red sun disappear into front of them as if it had fallen to the bottom of the lake.
Then the two of them sat down under the old tree and leaned against each other.
They were quiet all the time, and no one said anything more. But it seems that they already know each other very well, and the two of them even have a faint heartbeat of the same heart. Chen Xi leaned against the big tree, and Liu Xichen leaned on his shoulder. Then the two men looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
I don't know how long it took, but it was already dawn when Chen Xi opened his eyes. He saw the woman not far away who was not beautiful walking back from the lake with the morning dew, she lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a small white calf, and the beauty of the picture made it impossible to divert his eyes.
I don't know where she got the cutlery, and she set up the wood to light it. Chen Xi hurriedly ran over, took the fire sickle from her hand and said, These things are all done by men, you can rest for a while. Liu Xichen smiled softly and nodded, and then sat under the big tree and watched Chen Xi busy.
She sat there, her chin resting on her knees, her hands on her legs, as if she were looking at her closest lover, watching Chen Xi busy breakfast for her.
It's just a pot of gruel, but both of them drink it very sweetly.
In the days that followed, the two began to build a house of their own. They did not use the power of cultivation or the power of cultivation, and relied on their own ability to make tools such as stone axes and knives, and then cut down trees to build houses. The two of them spent day after day in such trivial and hard things. But neither of them was bored, and even liked this kind of life very much.
Watching the house gradually take shape, watching all kinds of living utensils gradually become complete. The joy and satisfaction are beyond words. Chen Xi always picked up Liu Xichen and put it on a high place, so that she could watch herself work quietly. She always sat there quietly, looking at him with a silly smile.
The two men also made a small wooden boat and paddled into the crystal clear water.
In the morning sun, the two people walked out of the wooden house hand in hand and set off to meet the sun.
There is no goal, just walking like this, exploring every beauty in this world.
In this world, neither of them has cultivated. He and she will be normal tired, will sweat, will feel the cold of the wind and the warmth of the sun. They live peacefully in this world every day, and the two of them go from teenagers to young people, and from youth to middle age.
When I went on the trip again, I was followed by the children who were running happily.
But the two of them are still so sweet.
The children were playing happily, and the two of them sat side by side on the high slope and watched the children as before. Then give each other a warm look, with nostalgia and longing for the future in their eyes.
Behind the two of them, there are houses that are getting bigger and bigger.
......
......
Finally, both of them reached their twilight years.
Still sitting side by side on that high slope, looking back on the past. There are no waves in this life, it is as calm as the lake, even if there is an occasional gust of wind, it will not disturb the peace of the lake. The two men grew old together, then lay on the grass holding hands and waited for death to come.
All of a sudden
Chen Xi, who was peacefully waiting for his old age, felt a faint pain in his neck, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and found that everything in front of him had changed. He was still standing on the steps, flanked by the stone walls of the Fortune Tower. And in front of his neck, floated a crystal clear scimitar with an extreme beauty.
The tip of the knife was right on his neck.
One more point would have slit his throat.
Chen Xi was surprised, subconsciously raised his head, and saw Liu Xichen standing on the top layer of the steps. It turned out that she had not yet climbed the four-story tower, and she was only one step away. She stood on a high place and looked at Chen Xi coldly, the perfect willow leaf scimitar was her destiny.
Flowing clouds with red sleeves
All the warmth and beauty that I had experienced before disappeared under the gaze of those extremely beautiful but extremely cold eyes. It's like a dream, so intoxicating. Chen Xi didn't know why this happened, but at this time, he really felt Liu Xichen's killing intent.
Chen Xi even had the illusion that the scimitar would cut his neck in the next second.
Now it seems that she is a little faster than him, but she has not left when Chen Xi ascended the stone steps. So I don't know why, she entered Chen Xi's environment. And it was this cold and sharp knife that dragged Chen Xi out of that quiet and beautiful world.
This is the Liu Xichen that Chen Xi knows, arrogant and peerless.
But why, there seems to be a red rhyme on her face that hasn't had time to fade?
"That's just the effect of the stone steps, which has confused you and me. Unreal things, bubble beauty, no need to remember...... If you dare to tell these things, I will kill you!"
She said this coldly, then retracted the red sleeves of the flowing clouds, turned around and climbed the four-story tower.
Looking at the back, Chen Xi involuntarily muttered: "It turns out ...... You're really there. ”
He didn't see Liu Xichen, who had already left, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
