Chapter 183: The Old Road Goes Again
After Li Moru arrived on the street, the two disappeared, he searched, found about a cup of tea, and saw the two, Li Moru flew up, jumped on the roof, and tasted the yellow orange wine in the gourd by the moonlight.
The wine is slightly yellow, a faint fruity aroma, this is the first time he likes the wine, leaving Yangzhou only then did not drink again, the faint moonlight is draped on the body, he walked through the familiar street while drinking, always felt that everything on the street was so strange, this is a pot of wine gradually has a drunkenness.
When he returned to his room, he collapsed heavily, and since he had started to have the dream, he had never left, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see it immediately.
It was pitch black in front of him, a familiar environment, a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Yiyi, come out, I'm in Yangzhou, where we met for the first time, you see, I haven't forgotten you, you're out." β
There was a hint of sadness in Li Moru's voice, and he shouted for a long time, but he still didn't hear Ling Yiyi's figure appear in front of him.
I only heard Ling Yiyi's voice sound, "Moru, do you love me?"
Li Moru was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Love." β
"Moru, do you really love me?"
"Of course I love, when I knew that you were in danger, I panicked, and I wanted to appear by your side immediately to protect you, and I didn't want you to be hurt. β
The sound has become a little clearer. "Moru, do you really still love me?"
"I ......" Li Moru was speechless, at this moment, he didn't blurt out that he still loved her, if he still loved her, how could she die in such a short time, and he couldn't remember her appearance clearly in his mind?
Li Moru asked himself, he didn't know, he felt that he should still love Ling Yiyi, but if he really loved Ling Yiyi, then how could he have this dream, how could he even forget what she looked like.
Didn't I say it to her, if there is really reincarnation in the world, when I dream of her, it should be the place where she told herself that she was reincarnated, so that I could go to her, but how could it be such a dream?
"I don't know. Li Moru had no choice but to say the four words I don't know, at this moment, he couldn't even see his heart clearly, and he didn't dare to answer positively.
At this point, the voice stopped abruptly, and another person's face appeared in my mind.
"Xuan'er, why are you here, why are you in my dreams, is this also a subtle view?"
"Brother Moru, Xuan'er misses you and wants to see you all the time, so Xuan'er came here to see you. β
Mo Xuan'er approached him step by step, her appearance and figure became clearer, seeing Mo Xuan'er approaching him step by step, Li Moru couldn't help but take a few steps back.
At this time, Ling Yiyi's crying suddenly echoed all around, "There are always new people replacing old people, it turns out that in Brother Moru's heart, Yiyi has already lived in newcomers, so he forgot Yiyi." β
"No, it's not like this, it's not like this, Yiyi, Yiyi, you listen to my explanation, it's not what you think. β
"No, what is that?"
In the face of Ling Yiyi's questioning, Li Moru was speechless for a while, the more he didn't speak, the closer Mo Xuan'er got to him, the clearer and clearer it became, as if it was the real Mo Xuan'er standing in front of him.
Mo Xuan'er didn't speak, and walked towards Li Moru in a daze, step by step, very slowly, it seemed that every step gave Li Moru a chance to retreat, as long as Li Moru retreated, she would go forward.
In Ling Yiyi's sad voice, Li Moru suddenly woke up, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the dawn was first revealed, the sky was slightly yellow, he wiped his face with a wet towel, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Standing in place, he couldn't stop recalling the content of the dream just now, recalling Ling Yiyi's three questions, do you love me? Do you really love me? Do you still love me?
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, so that he was afraid to see the bed, he wanted to see Ling Yiyi, but he was afraid that he would face the problem just now again, and he was speechless again.
He found pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the house, and left a letter for Mo Xuan'er, asking her to wait for him at the inn, he was going to Qingyuan Villa, Jiangning Mansion, and he wanted to go through all the places where he was with Ling Yiyi at the beginning, and retrieve his former memories.
However, when he walked outside the door, he saw Mo Xuan'er already standing at the door.
"Are you going to go far away?" Mo Xuan'er looked calm and stood quietly in front of Li Moru.
Li Moru nodded, "I originally wanted to leave you a letter. β
Mo Xuan'er smiled, "It's okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here." β
Mo Xuan'er's words made Li Moru feel taken aback, and blurted out, "It was really you in my dream just now?"
"Dream, what kind of dream, did Brother Moru dream of me just now?" Mo Xuan'er looked at Li Moru playfully.
"Noβit's okay, Xuan'er, you wait for me here, I'll be out for a few days, and I'm going to some places. β
"Go ahead!"
Mo Xuan'er still calmly replied to Li Moru, and Li Moru asked, "Aren't you curious about where I'm going?"
Mo Xuan'er said: "There's nothing to be curious about, no matter how close two people are, there are secrets between them, not to mention you and me." β
"That's not what I meant. When Li Moru heard Mo Xuan'er's words, she thought she was blaming herself, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Mo Xuan'er sneered, "My stupid brother, go ahead, I really don't mean anything else, go ahead, take a good look at yourself, I'm waiting for you here." β
Li Moru nodded, and was about to leave, when Mo Xuan'er suddenly called him, and when he turned around again, he saw that Mo Xuan'er had already thrown herself into his arms, and her pale red lips had already touched his lips.
The sudden scene made him not know what to do for a while, he was stunned, and stood in place in a daze, while Mo Xuan'er put her hands around his waist.
At that moment, Li Moru only felt that his heart was beating fast, his mind was blank for a moment, and he let the temperature between Mo Xuan'er's lips spread to his lips, which was very warm.
After Mo Xuan'er pushed him away, she said, "Go ahead." β
"Brother Moru, do you still remember the sentence in Zhuangzi's Theory of Things?"
"That?"
"Yes is infinite, non is infinite. Mo Ruo Ming. If the heart is like a mirror, the heaven and the earth are clear, the heart is like a clear spring, the sludge is not hidden, remember, you must believe in your own heart. β
Li Moru nodded and turned to leave.
Li Moru left the inn and performed a light leisurely trip, moving quickly in the southwest direction, first to the place where the two first encountered the Xuanwu Gate, then to the cave where they stayed overnight, and then along the path to the Qingyuan Villa.
Since the last time Qingyuan Villa was attacked by the so-called Demon Sect, the entire Qingyuan Villa has been much more closely guarded, and the bamboo shadows are deep and rustling.
He first went to Ling Yiyi's mother's grave.
There was no grass in front of the grave, and the stone table was also cleaned, Li Moru saw the incense and sparks on the side of the grave, and guessed that Ling Haifeng should have just left.
After kowtowing three times on the ground, he went to Qingyuan Villa by himself.
After Ling Yiyi's mother died, Ling Haifeng was like a different person, he suddenly aged by more than ten years, and his gray hair was gradually dyed with frost and became whiter and whiter.
He was sorting out the income and expenditure of Qingyuan Villa this month in the study, when he heard a knock on the door coming from outside the door.
"Who?"
"Master Lingzhuang, I, Li Moru. β
Hearing Li Moru's voice, he hurriedly got up and went to open the door for Li Moru.
Ling Haifeng asked: "It turned out to be Moru, why did you come to my Qingyuan Villa today, is there anything important?"
"It's nothing, just passing by and coming to see you. β
"Please come in, please come in, I'll let someone prepare lunch for you." Ling Haifeng pushed the door open and called for someone to prepare a tea and fruit plate.
"No, I'm not hungry, I'm just here to see how you're doing, uncle, how are you doing?"
"It's nothing good or bad, it's just a few like that, it's just some miscellaneous things, what about you, I heard that the Wanxian Sect has disintegrated, the leader of the Wanxian Sect is dead, and now the Demon Sect is in chaos, how are you?" Li Moru didn't expect that the news would reach Qingyuan Villa so quickly, it seems that the disciples of those sects should have already gone back, since this is the case, it is even more suspicious that the Huashan Sect did not go back.
"I'm also fine, don't work too hard, pay more attention to rest, why haven't I seen you for half a year, and you have so many gray hairs. β
"Alas, it's normal to have gray hair when you're old, let's stay here tonight, and let's have a chat. β
"Okay. β
The two chatted for more than an hour, talking about what had happened on the rivers and lakes recently, and the Huashan faction and the Xuanwu Sect and the Lingbao faction sent invitations to various sects, inviting them to participate in the Huashan Sword Debate, saying that they were selected to be the leader of the alliance who thought they were outstanding in martial arts and had both ability and political integrity to lead them to eradicate the remnants of the Demon Sect.
After the two finished chatting, Ling Haifeng received a few posts from passing merchants coming to visit, so he asked Li Moru to walk around by himself and come to him later.
Li Moru went to Ling Yiyi's room, the room looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a while, Li Moru sighed, people say that they love the house and Wu, but now they are both there, Ling Haifeng's state of mind at this time, just like this room, is full of spider silk.
He remembered what Ling Haifeng had said just now that the Huashan Sword Ming Sect had also received a post from the Huashan faction, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
He took matters into his own hands, and it took him more than an hour to clean the room.
Thinking of the picture of himself and Ling Yiyi in this room, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He tried hard to recall, although the picture in his mind was a little clearer, he still couldn't remember Ling Yiyi's appearance.
He was ready to go to Hongyunzi tonight, and worship in front of Ling Yiyi's grave.
At night, when the cold moon was in the sky, Ling Haifeng in Qingyuan Villa was entertaining guests, originally he was going to send someone to invite Li Moru to attend the dinner together, but Li Moru refused, so he had to give up, let his subordinates prepare some food for him and bring it to the house, and specially prepared a pot of bamboo leaves for him.
After casually eating two bites, he leaned on Ling Yiyi's bed, looked at the scene in front of him, and felt unfamiliar, picked up the wine jug and began to drink, it was still the familiar taste, but he felt that something was missing.
