Chapter 34: The Night Gathering

Out of the West City Gate, the sun has set, and the afterglow of the sun is shining in the sky, reflecting the earth, and the shadows of the trees are gradually becoming obvious.

Yun Xuan didn't dare to delay, although there was constant pain on his body, his footsteps did not stop for a moment.

He remembered the vine demon in the dense forest last night, in his eyes, it was the green vine old demon, specializing in sucking human blood, and the monks of the Danhai Realm could hardly deal with it.

When approaching the lotus pond, the sky was already dark, and the surroundings began to be silent, Yun Xuan trotted quickly, and before the last trace of afterglow receded, he entered the lotus viewing small building, and his anxious heart finally settled down.

He took a few breaths and looked at the small courtyard, everything was still the same.

Yun Xuan approached the lotus pond, and there was a lot less water in the pool.

It seemed to feel the arrival of Yun Xuan, and the pink lotus flowers and dark green lotus leaves that still looked pink in the night were gently shaking.

"Haven't you recovered yet?"

Yun Xuan turned around and brought the wooden lunch box next to the door into the room. Light the candle and open the lunch box, and a refreshing smell of rice and fish comes in.

He took a greedy breath of the fragrance, his stomach screamed, and he hurried to eat some roast meat at noon, which would be really hungry.

A dish of steamed white fish, a dish of fried sesame seedlings, both of which are boiled dishes of first-order spiritual materials, and a plate of broth, Yun Xuan couldn't recognize what kind of spiritual materials were boiled, but the smell made him have a great appetite, presumably second-order spiritual materials.

After eating, Yun Xuan sat at the table for a while, the tiredness on his body hit, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

The candle shadow swayed slightly, and a light and beautiful figure walked in, she slowly approached Yun Xuan, looking at Yun Xuan's sleeping appearance, with a light smile on her face.

Seeing the picture scroll next to Yun Xuan, she made a soft move, and the picture scroll flew into her hand and slowly opened.

Time passed slowly, her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, became hazy, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her plain white face.

Yun Xuan woke up faintly and saw the back of a slender woman, and he stood up.

"Miss Qingli, is that you?"

The woman turned around slightly and looked at Yun Xuan.

"Are you crying?" Yun Xuan asked, he saw the pear blossoms and rain on Qingli's face.

Qing Li hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his face, raised his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past." ”

"Where did you find this painting?"

"I saw it in a painting shop, and it looked like you, so I bought it back. Yun Xuan said.

"When I was just 15 years old, I asked a painter to paint it by the lotus pond. I haven't seen this painting since I won the Oiran, and I didn't expect to get it back after so many years. ”

Qingli said as he sat down at the table.

Yun Xuan listened to Qing Li's words, and couldn't help but think of Qing Li's life experience, as well as the people who hurt Qing Li.

"Miss Qingli, I heard your life story that night, and I was also very sad in my heart, and even more indignant, I really wanted to avenge the blood for the girl. Yun Xuan's face was angry.

smiled slightly and said, "Childe has a heart." ”

"By the way, I don't think I have introduced myself yet?" Yun Xuan said.

People have helped me a few times, and I haven't even introduced my name once, really.

"I know, Childe's name is Yun Xuan. ”

"How do you know my name is Yun Xuan?" Yun Xuan was a little surprised, he had never told her his name.

"Guess. Qing Li smiled mischievously and was confused.

Yun Xuanxuan thought about it, but still didn't understand how Qing Li knew, he shook his head and said, "Why don't you tell me, I can't guess." ”

"Childe, do you remember when someone called you Cousin Yunxuan?"

Yun Xuan thought about it, and suddenly realized that Li Yanhuan had come to look for him, so he called him cousin Yun Xuan.

"Oh, I see, my cousin called me Cousin Yunxuan, I didn't think that Miss Qingli could know my name with just a few words. The girl is not only beautiful, but also smart!"

"Childe is really good at complimenting people!" Qingli smiled happily and a little shyly, and a touch of red glow stained her face.

Yun Xuan looked at the delicate, gentle and lovely child in front of him, and was slightly stunned.

"Childe ......" Qingli lowered his head.

"Oh...... My surname is Liu, my name is Liu Yunxuan, and the girl can call me Yunxuan. Yun Xuan hurriedly straightened his expression to cover up, "Such a beautiful person, it would be nice if I thought of her as my sister." ”

"Miss Qingli has rescued me several times, I saw that you were born younger than me, why don't I recognize you as a sister?" Yun Xuan said a little excitedly.

"Childe doesn't dislike my identity? I don't even know if I'm a ghost or a flower spirit now, but I'm no longer human. Qingli whispered a little sadly.

"Miss Qingli is so beautiful, she looks more likable than people, how can I dislike it?

"How could I dislike Childe!" Qing Li lowered her head, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and said softly, since she approached Yun Xuan last night, she had an indescribable sense of intimacy with Yun Xuan.

"Since we don't dislike it, but I think you are very kind, then from now on, I will be my brother and you will be my sister!" Yun Xuan said happily.

"Hmm!" Qing Li nodded, with inexplicable joy in his eyes.

"Sister Qingli!"

"Brother Yunxuan!"

Qing Li happily looked at Yun Xuan's clear gaze, and Yun Xuan also looked at Qing Xuan, who was as flawless as a fairy, looking at each other, silent, and a subtle atmosphere arose between the two.

Yun Xuan suddenly said: "I heard that my brother and sister are going to set up an altar to tell the sky, and we will also set up an altar?"

Qing Li restrained his eyes, and for some reason felt a little resistant to what Yun Xuan said, but he didn't want to refuse Yun Xuan, so he hesitated for a while.

Yun Xuan looked at Qing Li's hesitant expression, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, and said, "Forget it, there's no need to be so clichΓ©, we treat each other sincerely, don't use these forms." ”

Qingli smiled, and for a while the spring was bright and bright, and the room was full of brilliance.

"I also have a six-year-old sister in my hometown, and when we meet, I will introduce you to you. Yun Xuan said.

"Hmm. Qingli nodded slightly.

"By the way, now you're my sister. I should avenge your revenge back then, Qingli, do you know where the enemy who killed you back then was?" Yun Xuan asked.

Qing Li shook his head and said, "When I entered the lotus, I couldn't come out. Later, I relied on absorbing the lotus green wood qi rising in the lotus pond, and it took a while to come out, and then I went to look for people, but I didn't find any clues. ”

"When I went out, I met an old Taoist who wanted to snatch the lotus beads from my lotus flowers. But he couldn't help me, so he secretly followed me, and when I returned here, he used the leyline dragon qi around Fallen Leaf City to set up a large array and trapped me here. I haven't been able to get out of the lotus pond since. ”

When Yun Xuan heard that Qing Li was trapped by the formation, he was anxious and said, "It's sealed, so what should I do?"

Qingli said gloomily: "I can't find a way either." As soon as I enter the range of the Great Array, the soul power of my body will be consumed, and the deeper I go, the greater the consumption. I don't know how wide the big array is, I have tried many times, but I can't get out, I can only rely on the lotus green wood qi of the lotus pond, barely supporting the power of the big array without covering the lotus pond. ”

"Later, a vine demon came, and he also wanted to take away my natal lotus bead, so he fought with me by the lotus pond. At that time, I had been severely consumed by the formation, and after a fight, I was even weaker, and the big array took the opportunity to compress, and then retreated to this small lotus viewing building, and I couldn't even absorb the lotus green wood qi in the lotus pond. ”

"Vine demon, green vine old demon, I saw it on the way to Fallen Leaf City some time ago, it specializes in sucking human blood, so the two people who died by the lotus pond were sucked dry by the green vine old demon?"

"Well, it should be the old demon of the green vine. Qingli nodded.

Yun Xuan was a little puzzled: "If that's the case, how can we go out, no, if there is a green vine old demon in the dense forest outside, it will also move around during the day to absorb human blood." ”

Qing Li said: "The vine demon outside is just the seed clone of the old demon of the green vine. The old demon of the green vine couldn't win for a while, but he didn't give up, so he left his clone and left. ”

"For so many years, the vine demon clone couldn't cross the lotus pond, but since I was suppressed in the lotus viewing small building, it has differentiated into many ordinary seeds and distributed them outside the courtyard, and the vines on the courtyard wall are developed from those ordinary seeds, which can constantly extract water from the lotus pond through the air. ”

Yun Xuan was shocked when he heard this, these vines were so hateful.

"I'm going to pull out the vines now. ”

Yun Xuan got up angrily, he wouldn't let these vines continue to hurt Qing Li.

Qing Li grabbed Yun Xuan's sleeve, shook his head, and said, "There are countless seeds of that kind, and it doesn't take an hour for new seeds to sprout and grow on the wall. I've tried a lot of things for years, but I can't get rid of it. ”

"But today, I saw that the big array outside had retreated a long way for some reason, and it was much weaker, and I could absorb the lotus green wood qi again. ”

Qing Li showed some relieved smiles on her face at this time.

Yun Xuan's heart suddenly rejoiced: "The formation has become weaker, Qingli, I accidentally destroyed a formation in the north of the city today, could it be related to the big formation that trapped you, do you know where the other parts of the formation are?" ”

Qing Li's eyes lit up, and suddenly dimmed again, and said, "I can't get out of the formation, and I don't know where the formation is." ”

"The formation has changed, if the Taoist priest knows, he will definitely come, and the old demon of the green vine, I heard that it wakes up once every ten years, you saw it some time ago, and it must not be long before you come here. ”

"Brother Yunxuan, you better get out of here quickly. My cultivation has not recovered well, and maybe I won't be able to protect myself this time. ”

Qingli said anxiously, she looked at Yun Xuan worriedly, even if that old way would not embarrass Yun Xuan, but that green vine old demon was bloodthirsty, and would definitely not let Yun Xuan go, and only by leaving would it be safe.

Yun Xuan shook his head resolutely and said, "I won't leave like this, even if I rummage through the mountains outside Fallen Leaf City, I will have to find a way to find those formations." As long as the formation is broken, you can leave. ”

"I must take you away, I finally recognized a sister, and I must not leave it like this. Yun Xuan said firmly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his eyes opened: "Qingli, you can't go out by yourself, have you ever asked someone else to take you out." As long as I take you out, it's done. ”

Yun Xuan looked at Qing Li, and his heart was immediately filled with great joy, this method would definitely be successful.

Qing Li looked at Yun Xuan blankly, as if she was stunned by his thoughts, and a hint of joy appeared on her face, because she had never used this method before.

"I wondered if that was possible. Qingli said.

There was silence in the room for a while.

Yun Xuan nervously waited for Qing Li's answer, he had always been distressed that he couldn't help Qing Li, maybe he would help this time, as long as he went out, it would be considered to get Qing Li out of the crisis.

This old demon with the green vine attacked him and his mother last time, and he harmed his sister many times, and he will definitely destroy it in the future, and the Taoist priest will ask him to repay ten times in the future, yes, ten times over.

Yun Xuan made a big wish for the little people.

"I hid in your body, maybe I can use your body and soul to cover the sense of the great array, and you will take me out. Qingli's face was thoughtful, and she was not completely sure.

Yun Xuan was overjoyed, "Then let's try it now." ”

Qing Li shook his head slightly, but his face was not as happy as Yun Xuan's, but with some heaviness, he said, "I broke away from the stem and leaf of the main body once last night, and my cultivation was greatly damaged, so I can't break away again in a short time." ”

"Tonight and tomorrow night, I can take advantage of the lotus green wood qi that pervades the night to restore my cultivation. Your body is also injured, first rest and recover, and then we will go again, whether it will be successful or not depends on this time. ”

"Okay, then you can recover quickly. Yun Xuan looked forward to it.

Qingli nodded obediently, got up and walked out of the door, her skirt fluttering, she looked back at Yun Xuan, and her eyes were warm and silent.

The bright moonlight floated out of the flickering yellow points of light, and the thin blue light drifted away from the lotus pond, condensed into wisps of light, surrounding Qingli above the lotus flowers, as if a fairy descended to the mortal world, bright white jade, holy and flawless.
