Chapter 20: The Death of the Peach
How remote Lingxu Mountain is, how lonely and unheard of I am.
Just like the first time I went down the mountain, I didn't know the weight of the thousand leaves, and this time I didn't know about the peach valley when I went down the mountain.
It's not that I don't know these two people, but I don't know the fame of these two people.
In the past few days, I have been knocking and inquiring, and I learned that Tao Yao is to Peach Blossom Valley what Yun is to Chiba Gate.
It turns out that I just want to see Taoyao, but I may not be able to see it.
However, to my surprise, I soon met Taoyao. I was able to see Tao Yao, purely by chance. I was originally going to look for Zhou Hong, and then I ran into Tao Yao outside his residence. Tao Yao didn't know me, just glanced at me, nodded and walked away. Only one side.
Tao Yao came to find Zhou Hong to hear the news. "The war between my generation and the demon clan is imminent, and this Momokai Daoist friend is here to inquire about the details of the demon clan's invasion of Chiba half a year ago. Zhou Hong explained to me. However, she seems to have a special interest in the Demon Monarch's envoy. Zhou Hong muttered to himself softly. As for the story of the so-called demon invasion of Chiba, I didn't ask, and Zhou Hong didn't elaborate.
My mind fell on the word "peach sea". Taohai, Taoyao came under a pseudonym. It's just that the word "sea" is embedded, and I don't know if it's shame or love.
I originally looked for Zhou Hong to inquire about Tao Yao, but now I see him, although it was accidental, but my heart suddenly settled down.
I exchanged a few words with Zhou Hong and walked back. Tao Yao has been gone for a long time, and I don't expect to catch up with her.
Unless she's waiting for me.
Tao Yao waited at the third corner, which was quite secluded and unnoticed. Before I could turn the corner, I saw a faint figure in front of me. Xu heard my footsteps, I just turned the corner, and before I could step forward, she had already turned around.
"Who are you?" she asked cleanly.
"Lingxu Mountain, white flowers. ”
"Bai Xiaohua?" a trace of doubt flashed in Tao Yao's eyes, and it was clear again. "Bai Hua, it's really you. ”
Hearing her shout the word "Baihua", my tight strings seemed to be loosened these days, and there was an indescribable sense of relaxation. Old people see each other and treat each other honestly.
"Hello. My name is Bai Xiaohua. "I didn't mean to deny it, I just reintroduced myself to her. It's just that I'm a little curious about how she recognized me. Although it doesn't make much sense to ask now. "Bai Hua's appearance is much worse than what I am now, it's hard for you to recognize me. ”
"Your eyes always look so black and white. Tao Yao gave me an unexpected explanation. It's the first time I've heard someone say that.
"What about Ling Long, didn't she come?" Tao Yao looked at me and asked suddenly.
"Nope. ”
"Then she's by the Demon King's side?"
"I think so. ”
Such casual conversation gave me the illusion that she hadn't stabbed me, and that we were still the same as when we were with the Demon King. At that time, with Xiaohai, although the three of us had our own thoughts, we were still friends.
"When you were with ...... You all treat me well. "Tao Yao is waiting here, it seems that he just wants to reminisce with me about the past.
She seemed to be nonchalant, and I deserved to be slow. However, there is always one person's name that we have avoided, and that is Xiaohai.
Because it avoids talking about it, it seems deliberate.
Some people have some things in their hearts, even if there are more words, they still can't get around the level in their hearts. Tao Yao finally couldn't help but ask, "Is he okay?" That sword, I, I, I ......" said three "I" words, but he couldn't say any more. No matter how many reasons there are, after all, it was a real stabbing sword.
It turned out that she thought she was hurting Xiaohai.
"I was the one who asked you to meet at the top of the mountain that day. "I don't want her to misunderstand, since she stabbed a sword ruthlessly, she should understand that there is no possibility between her and Xiao Hai. Now it seems that there is no thought, but it seems to be in a posture. "So, for Xiaohai, you don't have to feel guilty. And for me, I can make amends. ”
"Really?" Tao Yao looked at me, revealing a hint of joy. I'm afraid it's really emotional. Fate really tricked people, the sword she stabbed at the beginning was originally a broken love, but it was more like her love.
I pointed to my heart, "This place is pierced by your sword." ”
Tao Yao's mouth was half open, as if she was startled, "Then why are you still alive?"
I grinned, "The Demon Lord will help me renew my life, but I won't live long, unless there is the legendary Spirit Pond Water." ”
"So, you're here for the Spirit Pool. Tao Yao put away the wavering of her expression for a while, and looked at me vigilantly.
I tried to make myself less eager, but I couldn't hide the caution between my words, "I just want to live a little longer." I pointed to my heart and looked at Tao Yao fixedly, "This is what you owe me." I was worried that she would not be moved, and the words seemed to pop out of my mouth, "I also owe Xiaohai." ”
Sure enough, at the mention of Xiaohai, her expression loosened a little. "I'll find a way to get you the spirit pool water, and then you can leave when you get it. ”
"How long?" I asked.
"Tonight in the middle of the moon, you are waiting for me at the mouth of the valley. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”
The night moves in very quickly. I paced around the mouth of the Peach Blossom Valley, the bright moon was already hanging in the sky, and I was only half a night away from the water of the spiritual pool.
Looking up at the bright moon, my heart was seven up and eight down, and I was very worried. Stay until the moon is in the middle of the sky, stay until the bright moon hangs, and stay until the fish is white in the east, Taoyao still didn't come.
I don't know why Tao Yao missed the appointment, and the feeling of uneasiness tightened my heart inch by inch. Unprovoked fear, wanting to escape.
However, before I could act, I was besieged. A group of Peach Blossom Valley disciples surrounded me.
I looked around, and then I heard Zhou Hong's voice coming from the crowd, "Xiaohua, why are you?"
When I heard the voice, Zhou Hong had already walked in front of the person, and he looked a little stunned because of surprise, and his eyes were full of incredulity. I asked casually, "Brother Zhou Hong, who are you arresting?"
Zhou Hong wanted to say something, but a person next to him patted him on the shoulder and asked for him, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Look at the moon at night, and now wait for the sunrise. I responded while thinking in my heart. There was no peach in the crowd, either she betrayed me, or she was entangled in something. I believe in the latter more.
"You've been here for a night?" the man asked, "are you the only one?"
I snapped my fingers, and finally held out my index finger, "It's just me." ”
"Xiaohua, think about it again. Zhou Hong was a little anxious.
"Don't talk nonsense, she is the one who wants to steal the holy water of my spiritual pool. The man beside Zhou Hong shouted, "The disciples of Peach Blossom Valley listen to the order, be sure to take down this demon girl." After speaking, all the Peach Blossom Valley disciples raised their swords and stepped forward.
As the saying goes, I don't think I'll be able to get out of it alone. I had to spare my life. Before the situation became clear, I felt that I had to know the current situation of Tao Yao. "I want to see Tao Yao. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, a tired but still cold female voice rang out.
"Not her. ”
The Peach Blossom Valley disciples who were originally surrounding me all put away their long swords for a while and retreated.
The woman who spoke walked up to the person and stood in front of me, it was Tao Yao.
"I'm sorry, I missed the appointment. Tao Yao said to me, and after speaking, he looked at the surrounding Peach Blossom Valley disciples, and finally his eyes fell on the person beside Zhou Hong. "Lingxi, she's just waiting for me. The man who was called the spirit rhino was a little hesitant and asked, "But Uncle Shi, Xiao Yao said that the demon who stole the water of the spirit pond is in the direction of the valley mouth." ”
"You don't believe me?" Tao Yao raised her eyebrows, although her face was tired, it was still intimidating for no reason. I looked at Tao Yao in front of me, and I was so out of place with my impression of her.
Such a peach, does Xiaohai still like it. I'm a little surprised that I still have such idle thoughts. I think that the peach has arrived, and the people in the Peach Blossom Valley have withdrawn their tense posture, so I relaxed my mind.
Lingxi was also silent when Tao Yao drank it. Tao Yao glanced at me and called, "Follow me." ”
I followed Tao Yao, and there was already a way for us in the crowd. At this time, a red glow just rose in the sky, and I looked up, reflecting Tao Yao's figure at the moment, just like a peach blossom enchanting. At this time, the peach trees at the mouth of the valley were originally blooming with peach blossoms in two or three branches, and the breeze was blowing, overflowing with the refreshing fragrance of flowers. Once again, I truly felt that spring was in full bloom.
