Chapter 62: Lily
Qingyun Mountain Big Bamboo Peak
Early this morning, Xiao Yicai sent someone to Xiaozhu Peak to invite Lu Xueqi to Tongtian Peak to discuss matters, so Zhang Xiaofan also settled at ease and returned to Dazhu Peak alone.
The back mountain of Dazhu Peak is also somewhat similar to that of Xiaozhu Peak. As far as the eye can see, there are lush emerald green bamboo forests...... The morning light fell from the sky, casting a little light mark between the cracks of the bamboo forest, and countless crystal clear dew drops were condensed on the thin bamboo leaves, smooth and round.
Little Ash and Rhubarb had long since lost sight of where they were going to play, leaving only a lonely figure, leaning on a slightly thick black bamboo, sitting on the ground. In the quiet bamboo forest, there is silence, there seems to be some familiar atmosphere, echoing here, I don't know how many years ago, he was brought into this big bamboo peak by Tian Buyi, and started a new life here.
I don't know how many mornings and dusks, he was silently cut down in this secluded bamboo forest, and he also played and chased with Xiao Gray and Rhubarb here, and this bamboo forest was imprinted with countless good memories of his youth......
Suddenly, he remembered the words of a man, "You remember that there is a stone statue at the entrance of the cave!" "If you have the chance to go out, pick a bouquet of her favorite lilies for me and put it in front of her!" He closed his eyes and remembered that when he fought against the beast god with Lu Xueqi, he had agreed to his request, "I seem to owe him a bunch of lilies." After a while, he muttered to himself, and said in a deep voice,
Once, did anyone make a promise to you? Or, have you ever promised something to someone before? It's just that how much of a promise can be fulfilled? The world is full of all kinds of things, prosperous and cold, often dilute the occasional whim, bustling, and the small whirlpool that formed in the heart a long time ago has already been quietly dispersed, leaving only a sentence that may have been from the bottom of his heart should be allowed to drift and whirl in the cycle of time and space.
But, who is to blame for this? Is the power of time too strong? Perhaps, based on such a world, it is a hard and lonely thing, and you have to explore it hard by yourself, and you have no time to take care of anything else? These questions were answered only by the gusts of bamboo waves and the gentle breeze.
I don't know how long later, a white figure came to him. In a moment, the light blue circle of light slowly dispersed from the Tianya Divine Sword in her hand like a clear and gentle wave of water. The mist in the forest also seemed to be attracted by that peerless face, surrounding her, fluttering gently.
She squatted down slightly, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was thinking about something, with a faint sadness on her face. His heart softened, and he said softly: "Xiaofan......" Listening to the gentle call, Zhang Xiaofan slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look, and his wife's peerless face was in front of his eyes at this moment.
The morning sun sprinkled on the face of the woman in white, slowly exuding a touching beauty, like a dream. She asked with concern: "What are you thinking about again, with a sad face." ”
Zhang Xiaofan said: "I remembered that our promise to one person has not been fulfilled. "Commitment? Whose commitment? Lu Xueqi asked puzzled, and Zhang Xiaofan replied: "Have you forgotten the promise you made to him in the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave of the 100,000 Mountains back then." ”
Lu Xueqi immediately remembered and said, "Beast God!?" Zhang Xiaofan nodded, and then said: "I promised him to pick a bouquet of lilies for him to give to the stone statue outside the cave entrance, and I want to go tomorrow." "In that case, then I will go with you. After all, we promised someone else. Lu Xueqi didn't care about the dirt on the ground, sat down next to Zhang Xiaofan, and held her hand. The two of them stopped talking, and just sat against each other.
Incense Valley in southern Xinjiang
On the majestic mountain and river hall, there is silence at the moment, but there is a figure, standing in the gate of the mountain and river hall, standing silently, looking towards the distant southern sky.
Long. In the silence, darkness crept in, the sky gradually darkened, during which a few disciples passed here, but soon found that the atmosphere here was not quite right, and quickly retreated, and later, as the last light of dusk gradually disappeared, even if you raise your eyes to look into the distance, the scene of the distant sky is slowly blurred.
In the distance, in a corner of the Incense Valley, there was a low sound of insects, there was no sound, far or near, I don't know what it was calling, but it set off the huge mountain and river hall, which was as cold as ice and snow. Shangguan Ce's body in the shadows moved, and then slowly turned around.
The sound of low footsteps echoed in the silent mountain and river hall, but it seemed so loud! The sound of heavy footsteps, I don't know whose heart it is stepping on?
He sat down slowly on the seat in the middle of the main hall, it was dark, but there was no light here, it was not that the disciples were lazy, but such a night, but it seemed to be different, and they were all interested in not coming. At this moment, a beast accompanied by the roar of the ghost crying came from the deep Xuanhuo Altar.
Outside the bleak mountain and river hall, in addition to this creepy roar, there was also a low sound of insects, and there was no other sound for these two, Shangguan Ce listened to the roar, and the corners of his mouth showed a sinister smile........
100,000 mountains
The rolling mountains of southern Xinjiang have been so quiet and secluded for thousands of years. The primitive creation of nature carves this hard rock protruding from the ground into a thousand different shapes, awe-inspiring and natural.
In this seemingly endless green mountain, countless insects, birds and beasts make different calls from time to time in the depths of the secluded dense forest, making it seem that this uninhabited primeval forest is far away and lonely. I don't know how many years of accumulated dead leaves, densely covered the thick soil, like a large dark blanket, covering the seemingly shy face of the forest land. In the unique warm and humid air of southern Xinjiang, it seems to bring out the smell of rotten dead leaves, but it cannot break through the lush vitality of the branches and green leaves.
The blue sky, quietly looking down on the rolling green hills. Two blue rays of light crossed the silent sky, and after landing, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi looked at the prospect in front of them.
This feeling is familiar and unfamiliar, not far in front of you, a stone statue that has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost traces stands in front, the ancient cave of the demon town that the stone statue looks at has long collapsed, no longer exists, the entrance can faintly see mottled traces of vicissitudes, I don't know whether it is exquisitely blessed, the stone statue is unharmed.
Zhang Xiaofan opened his slightly locked eyebrows, turned around slowly, and reflected Lu Xueqi's gentle and beautiful face in his eyes. This beautiful woman, dressed in white, danced without wind, like a snow gauze in front of her, holding a bouquet of lilies with a little dew in her hand.
The two walked to the stone statue together, put the lily in his hand on the open space, and the indifferent expression on his face showed more relief and relaxation, and said, "I promised you what I did, and I did it." He looked deeply at the woman in front of him, smiled slightly, and took Lu Xueqi's white hand. Looking at the deep eyes of the stone statue woman, there was a faint trace of sadness and expectation.
Perhaps, there should be a poignant story or legend! Is it a catastrophe on earth, or the madness of a desperate and pitiful sad person!
