Chapter 210: Heartbeat
Walking through the mysterious door, the Heavenly Road is a road suspended in the sky, composed of the water of the spring of the Five Emperors Lake led by the elves in the lake, Yun Xiao looked at the feet incredulously, the field of the stars seemed to be within reach, and it seemed to be separated by a transparent wall, out of reach.
She followed Di Zhong closely, and felt that the water under her feet had been moving, and she didn't know where the end was, and the golden spiritual power jumped out of the water like fireflies, and then scattered again and returned to the water.
The aroma of wine really came from everywhere, rich and abnormal, just smelling it made people fluttering, dizzy, causing Yun Xiao to can't help but look, she seemed to be walking in the void, the surroundings were bright, diffusing with colorful glass light, and there were all kinds of laughter in the distance that had been drifting like echoes, as if in a place she couldn't see, there were other people walking together.
Yun Xiao was shocked by the spectacular and treacherous scene in front of her, and couldn't help but trot forward and grabbed Di Zhong's sleeve, and said nervously, "Where does this road lead?"
"Five Emperor Lake. Di Zhong quietly slowed down, as if he wanted to appreciate the scenery along the way more carefully, the light in his eyes was extinguished, so that the past and the present overlapped and intertwined, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to the elf in the lake, "There seem to be a lot fewer travelers in the heavenly road, I remember that it was lively back then." ”
The elf in the lake heard his sigh, floated out of the waterway under his feet, and gently landed on Di Zhong's shoulder, and also let out a sigh of regret: "It's a lot colder, for a long time since the fall into the sky, the heavenly road is like being forgotten by everyone, even if we still wait for the arrival of travelers in the starry field every month, most of the time we only return empty-handed, only on some important days, there will be travelers who come here." ”
"Yes. Di Zhong answered lightly, it was not very surprising, falling into the sky was a disaster of destruction for Zhen Island, and in the face of survival, the matter of seeking pleasure was naturally to be put down.
"But it's been getting better all of a sudden lately. The lake elf giggled, tiptoeing around his shoulders, very happy, "I heard the travelers say that it was the new emperor of Feiyuan who ascended the throne and abolished the former discrimination system, and the alien races and beasts who had been oppressed for thousands of years were liberated for the first time. ”
Di Zhong nodded, feeling both emotion and regret, thinking of the purpose of this trip, he still couldn't bear it in his heart, so he had to inquire from the side: "You said that many people came here to celebrate, but I seem to have heard that the Night King intends to break the seal and destroy the Formation Eye, don't they care at all? Or ...... The aliens haven't heard from them at all?"
Hearing him ask so directly, Yun Xiao's heart instantly rose to her throat, and even Xiao Qianye, who was in the ball of light in her sleeve, stood up uneasily, nervously perceiving everything.
"The Night King......" The dance of the elves in the lake suddenly stopped, and was also aroused by the fear in his heart by this name, although he knew that the emperor and the night king were fellow practitioners, there was still a little panic in his tone, "You mean that the Night King is back?" I seem to have heard some rumors, and the two gods in the East Underworld seem to have left temporarily because of this matter, but since you are back, you will definitely be able to prevent the Night King from harming Zhen Island again, right?"
Di Zhong didn't reply to it, there was something wrong in his heart, the elf in the lake didn't know anything about the world, and it was useless to say more, he waved his hand and retreated from the elf in the lake, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
Yun Xiao felt that his face suddenly became a little heavy, this person was silent, and it seemed that even the air around him was condensed, she carefully pulled him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Di Zhong only turned his head slightly to see her urgent eyes, but blurted out to comfort her: "What can I do, most of this account is to be counted on Xiao Qianye's head, you still worry about him." ”
Yun Xiao shook him off angrily, feeling that her kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and she moved her gaze away sullenly.
"Angry?" Di Zhong felt inexplicably funny, obviously Xiao Qianye's piece of wood often had all kinds of incomprehensible customs and did not make her angry, I didn't expect that his casual words could make her unhappy, such a differential treatment obviously aroused his interest at once, Di Zhong cleared his throat, pointed to the ball of light in her sleeve, and said with bad intentions, "It's all one person, why is your attitude so bad?" I know everything about him, if you are willing to ask me, I will tell you everything." ”
"Really?" Yun Xiao suddenly came to her senses, Xiao Qianye in the ball of light was jumped up by Emperor Zhong, and finally couldn't help frowning and warning, "Hey, don't talk nonsense!"
"Look, he's angry, too. Di Zhong covered his mouth and laughed, and directly put his hand into Yun Xiao's sleeve, the divine power was like a dense net enveloping the ball of light, Xiao Qianye instantly noticed that his perception and the outside world were being cut off, and before he could stop it in a hurry, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness, and even the sound disappeared at the same time.
Xiao Qianye angrily knocked on the wall of the ball of light, and tilted his head helplessly, not knowing what Di Zhong wanted to say to Yun Xiao, Di Zhong knew everything about him, and after the memories began to merge, his past was like a blank sheet of paper, which was clear in front of Di Zhong.
However, he still didn't know much about Di Zhong and couldn't do anything about it.
"You...... What are you doing?" Yun Xiao also felt that the ball of light in her sleeve suddenly lost her vitality, Di Zhong pursed her lips and smiled, made a boo gesture, and said mysteriously, "After all, if you want to say bad things about him, you can't say it in front of me, right?"
Yun Xiaopi looked at him with a smile, this god of war from the heavenly realm did not look like a "god of war" at all, but like a woman who loved to gossip, holding her chin and not knowing what interesting things she was thinking.
Di Zhong glanced at her, with a smile that seemed to be smiling, and deliberately teased: "If you don't want to know, I won't tell you......"
"Don't, don't, I want to ...... Wonder. Yun Xiao blurted out without thinking, and felt that it was not good to snoop on privacy like this, so she lowered her head awkwardly and kicked the water with her toes, looking hesitant.
"Heh......" Di Zhong was amused by the shy, anxious and tangled expression on her face, coughed, and said, "Just say that it is related to you, and when he is willing to tell you other things, let him say it himself, that's okay, right?"
Yun Xiao blinked, after all, she couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart, and she was afraid that someone else would hear her, so she hurriedly took a step forward and asked with a red face, "He, he, are there any other girls around him?"
Sure enough, the first question was in Di Zhong's expectation, the woman's mind is so simple and easy to guess, Di Zhong smiled at Yun Xiao, and blurted out without thinking: "Actually, it's quite a lot, after all, he is young and promising, and he is not bad-looking, and it is not strange to be likable." ”
Yun Xiao's smile immediately froze on her face, and her mood was instantly depressed, of course Xiao Qianye would not take the initiative to confess to her about this kind of thing, she thought about it, but she still couldn't help but continue to ask: "Who are they?"
Di Zhong was holding back a smile, his mind was speeding up Xiao Qianye's expression at this time, this kind of funny feeling was as if he was unscrupulously teasing the little dog back then, and said: "You have seen the Lord of Haoyue and Princess Mingshu, you haven't seen it, there is an Oiran named Liu Feifei in Jingcheng, I fell in love with him at a glance, I once designed to trick him into spending the Spring Festival in the room, but fortunately, he woke up halfway and ran away temporarily, and there is the Millennium City in the East Underworld, there is a young lady surnamed Gu in it, who has a lot of family entanglements, and I like him very much, and there is ......" Courier
"And?" Yun Xiao couldn't hold back her anger anymore, and the ball of light was held from her sleeve to the palm of her hand, held it in front of her eyes, and stared at her big eyes, as if she could kill people with her eyes.
Di Zhong didn't care, and even carefully searched for those peachy past events in the depths of his memory, but the more he thought about it, the more the expression on his face smiled more meaningfully, after a long time, he finally let out a long breath from his chest and sighed: "But no one is more important than you, Xiao'er, every time he sees someone who looks similar to you, he can't help but take a few more looks, he is already in a high position, and there are some tigers and wolves around him, only when he thinks of you, he will smile like a fool, but he never shows anything in front of outsiders." ”
Yun Xiao lowered her head and said nothing, just such a simple sentence eliminated all her previous anger, her eyes suddenly became gentle again, and she gently poked the ball of light with her fingers.
Di Zhong watched her turn her face faster than a book, and could only secretly marvel at the woman's mind like a needle under the sea, and even glad that he didn't say a few more names.
"Is there anything else?" However, Yun Xiao's eyes turned, and he looked at it like a snow-bright blade, and Di Zhong's heart was shocked when he saw it, this was a heartbeat that he had never felt when facing countless ferocious beasts and monsters.
He thought about it in silence, and felt that he couldn't reveal the bottom of Xiao Qianye again, but he couldn't refuse Yun Xiao's earnest and stern gaze, so he had to quickly turn the topic back to Yun Xiao in embarrassment: "And you, don't go into someone's room in the middle of the night, and scare him with a lamp!"
"He's not scared, he's not been scared by me once. When it came to the boring things she did when she was a child, Yun Xiao really blushed again, and quibbled, Di Zhong looked at her thoughtfully, and her heart was full of threads, she only woke up for the first time eight years ago, and in fact, she didn't personally experience the things that happened to Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao when she was a child, but those things were often recalled repeatedly in his memory, as if he had really experienced their growth.
Di Zhong was silent for a moment, every time that thought appeared, he could clearly feel that impulse, a child who was just in love, the moment he opened his eyes in the middle of the night, he saw the girl he liked standing at the head of the bed, grimacing at himself.
Obviously, his heart was beating and he was about to jump out of his throat, but every time he had to pretend to be expressionless, nervously wipe the sweat from his palms in the quilt, and then throw her out of the room with a face like an iceberg.
Maybe it was because she was held in her hands by the stars and moons of the sect since she was a child, or maybe it was really influenced by the blood of the divine bird, Yun Xiao was a girl who behaved differently, and she didn't notice what kind of physiological impulses a boy of that age would have.
Thinking of these things, Di Zhong couldn't help but smile on his forehead, he had lived for tens of thousands of years, and the emotions that belonged to human beings had long been consumed for a long time, but he didn't expect to feel it so clearly in a human body after death and rebirth.
"What are you laughing at?" Yun Xiao was faintly uncomfortable, and the sudden silence of this person made her a little nervous.
Di Zhong immediately shook his head, glanced at her, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of mystery, and reminded him word by word: "He's a man, he's been in Kunlun for ten years, and he can be regarded as a teenager from childhood, don't you think that a boy at that age still doesn't understand anything?"
Yun Xiao opened her mouth, sighed softly, and was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what he was referring to, and the red on her face was like a fire.
Di Zhong reached out and touched her cheek, sure enough, it was a hot burning hand, he gently leaned over, and exhaled softly against Yun Xiao's ear: "You always like to make fun of him, do you know that you do this, to him...... For me, it's deadly. ”
Yun Xiao gasped and raised her head, her cheeks flushed, and she bumped into the face that had been engraved in the depths of her bones and blood for 10,000 years, and this face was transformed into Xiao Qianye's appearance under the effect of her spiritual phoenix breath, Yun Xiao instantly held her breath, and couldn't tell who the person in front of her was for a while, and her mind became blank due to suffocation.
Di Zhong finally took the initiative to take a step back, revealing inexplicable joy in his heart, but he still said calmly: "You can't get so close, you can't really control the breath of the spirit phoenix, in case you accidentally remove the eye obstruction, you will have to make extraneous branches." ”
Yun Xiao also hurriedly took a few big steps back in a panic, feeling that her cheeks were burning uncomfortably, and leaned down to pick up the lake water from the heavenly road under her feet and pounced on her face.
"Hey, wait......" Emperor Zhong didn't have time to stop it, Yun Xiao stared blankly at the water in his palm, and the rich aroma of wine came to his nose.
"This is the wine brewed by the elves in the lake, can't you smell the aroma of wine after walking for so long?" Di Zhong finished saying what he had just said, only to see Yun Xiao stand up tremblingly, her steps suddenly became shaky, and she saw that she was about to plunge into the water.
Di Zhong was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart, and blurted out: "Shouldn't you be the same as him, just pour a cup?"
Before the words fell, his prophecy was quickly fulfilled, Di Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, she rubbed her throat vigorously with red eyes, and then opened her mouth to feel that her throat was cramped by alcohol, and she couldn't say a word.
"If you can't drink, you have to say it early. Di Zhong frowned, he didn't expect this kind of unbelievable accident, he sighed helplessly, so he had to lift her up, and simply hugged her and continued to walk along the heavenly road.
The elves in the lake were laughing and rolling in the heavenly road, and Di Zhong looked down at those naughty little things, crying and laughing: "Don't join in the fun here, hurry up and find me something to cure the hangover." ”
"Yes, yes. The spirits of the lake scattered in a hurry, and flew to a place very skillfully, as if they had long been surprised by this kind of drunken traveler.
Di Zhong looked at the woman in his arms, and suddenly walked down from the water flow of the Heavenly Road, and came to a colorful open space next to him, he sat on the ground, and let Yun Xiao rest his legs.
He quietly stroked Yun Xiao's cheek, his eyes showed tenderness, recalling that once upon a time, the puppy was also greedy and drunk the wine of Tianlu, drunk and unconscious, so that the original half-day journey was forced to go for three days.
"Hey, trouble, you two...... Three, really one doesn't let me worry. Di Zhong let out a long sigh, forced a smile, and said to himself, "Xiao'er, you are always very similar to it in this inexplicable place, I have always reminded myself that it is mixed with Xiao Qianye's memory that I have special feelings for you, but sometimes I really feel ...... That's supposed to be my own feelings, what should I do? I'm really struggling. ”
While he spoke, he couldn't help bending over, sticking to Yun Xiao's forehead, and kissing it gently, which was clearly someone else's body, but at this moment he really felt his heartbeat.
