Chapter 135: Reunion after a long absence
After a half-day trek, the three finally returned to Shangwutang.
It was late at night, the night wind was cold, and the moon was in the sky.
The place where the disciples of Shangwutang lived was already dark, and there was only one guest's room where the lights were still bright, which was Xuantian's residence.
Because he was worried that Li Mengluan would encounter a dangerous situation after going to the battlefield, Xuantian had been unable to sleep, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, he immediately walked out of the room to see if it was Li Mengluan and Qi Yunteng.
Xuantian came to the stable not far ahead, looked from a distance, and found that three figures walked out of there in the moonlight.
And among them, there is a figure that is exactly the same as the person who haunts Xuantian's dreams. The moment he saw that figure, Xuantian's body seemed to have been hit by something, and he was so excited that he almost jumped, and he was so surprised that he couldn't be surprised.
"Uncle Shi!" Xuan Tian called out to Qing Ling, his voice was extremely excited.
Qing Ling's beautiful eyes shining like stars looked at him with Xuantian's call, and the moment the two eyes intertwined, it seemed to be a century old in Xuantian's heart.
Staring at the extremely familiar and beautiful face, Xuantian finally couldn't hold back the longing in his heart. He pulled his legs and ran towards Qing Ling, and then hugged her tightly into his arms, and the majestic posture of his former uncle was all forgotten by Xuantian at this time.
Qing Ling was stunned by Xuantian's transgressive behavior and stood in place, not knowing how to respond to Xuantian's "warm welcome" for a while.
And Li Mengluan and Qi Yunteng exchanged glances, and the two left quietly, leaving only the two who had reunited after a long absence.
Qing Ling only recovered from her surprise at this time, and found that Xuantian was still holding her and didn't let go, and felt that it was very inappropriate, so she reached out and gently pushed him away, with a slight trace of sorrow on her face, and said angrily: "The boss is not small, what kind of system is this?"
Being pushed by Qing Ling, Xuantian finally came to his senses, only to realize that he had made indecent movements towards his uncle, and hurriedly knelt on his knees and pleaded guilty to her.
"I have been separated from my uncle for too long, and I am excited when I see it today, which offends my uncle. No matter what kind of punishment Uncle Shi gives, Xuantian is willing to accept it. ”
Seeing Xuantian with his head down and a repentant look, Qing Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you done anything wrong? I don't know how you feel? I'm just as happy now, after all, you've been separated for a year. ”
Seeing that Qing Ling didn't mean to blame him, Xuan Tian stood up and asked Qing Ling, "Uncle Shi, what have you been doing in the past year? I have always been extremely worried about you, for fear that you will encounter an accident. ”
Qing Ling didn't answer and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, but you are the first." Hurry up and tell Uncle Shi about your experience after going down the mountain, and have you completed the task that the boss explained to you?"
Xuantian was just about to answer, but he felt a gust of night wind blowing in his face, and the chill suddenly enveloped his body, making him shiver. Xuantian realized that it was late at night at this time, and hurriedly said to Qing Ling: "Uncle Shi must be very tired, isn't it? ”
Qing Ling shook his head and said, "I don't feel tired at all, and it's rude to use a vacant room without the permission of the head of the house. How about I go to your room today and talk with you by candlelight?"
"Since the uncle is willing, the nephew will naturally accompany him. Xuantian smiled, and there was an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart. The two of them then went to Xuantian's room and sat down at the coffee table.
After Xuantian poured a cup of hot tea for Qing Ling, he said, "After the real person in charge found out that Uncle Shi was going down the mountain alone, he ordered me to make finding your whereabouts a top priority. I thought you'd know the path to Renkeji Temple, so I went to Moonshadow Island to find it. I didn't expect that we would choose a completely different direction. ”
"Moon Shadow Island? I heard the girl named Li Mengluan mention that her friend told her that the weapon used by the Demon Venerable Five hundred years ago was hidden in the Moon Moon Shadow Island's Moon Moon Peak and has now been taken by the people of the Demon Domain. Qing Ling said with a hint of doubt.
"That's right, the people of the Demon Realm invaded Moon Shadow Island and stole the Demon Blade, which I personally experienced, and it can be said that it is an extremely painful memory. Xuantian's face looked a little gloomy when he said this.
"What the hell is going on Moon Shadow Island?" a look of worry appeared on Qing Ling's face.
Xuantian then briefly told Qingling everything he had experienced on Moon Shadow Island, but in order not to reveal Li Mengluan's identity, he didn't say her name, only called her "Princess Yasukuni". And Xuantian didn't mention the miracle of Li Mengluan's resurrection, but she died in the battle at the top of Mochizuki Peak.
"Princess Yasukuni didn't even want her life to save you, and in the end, she chose to cut herself off in order not to be controlled by the people of the Demon Domain. How many women like this can there be in the world? I feel like I'm not as good as I hear it. Why would Heaven be so ruthless, and put such a good person to death!" Qing Ling also sighed with a trace of sadness in his heart.
Xuantian's eyes were slightly red at the moment, and those sad memories were aroused by Qing Ling's words.
"Don't talk about things that don't sound pleasant. Uncle Shi, tell me about your experience after you came down the mountain. Xuantian opened his mouth to try to alleviate the more oppressive atmosphere.
Qing Ling showed a helpless smile and said, "Compared with you, my experience after going down the mountain is nothing to talk about, and the content is far less rich than yours." ”
Under Xuantian's repeated "pleading", Qing Ling described this time on Penglai Island to him. After hearing this, Xuantian couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Shi actually lived in the palace for a whole year, which is really the top treatment." ”
"I had already acceded to the king's request, and naturally I could not leave hastily, and I had nowhere else to go but to live in the palace. A wry smile appeared on Qing Ling's face.
Xuantian and Qingling were still talking hotly, but in a room on the other side, there was a person who was in a depressed mood. No one spoke to her, but she still had trouble sleeping, tossing and turning in bed, unable to be quiet.
She is Li Mengluan, watching
At the moment when Xuantian and Qingling hugged each other, although she was happy for the reunion of the two, there was a boundless sense of loss in the depths of her heart for no reason.
The feeling of frustration had always surrounded her, accompanied her, and slowly turned into an unspeakable pain, disturbing her, restraining her, and preventing her from achieving peace of mind.
Li Mengluan knows that this is love, and this is the feeling when the feelings paid are disappointed. This obsession will destroy her original state of mind, leaving her heart with nothing but chaos.
Li Mengluan knew that worrying alone like this was not the solution to the problem, and would only add obstacles to her cultivation path, but she had no way to raise the courage to tell Xuantian the truest thoughts in her heart.
Tonight, whether it is for Xuantian, Qingling or Li Mengluan, it is a sleepless night.
The night was long, but it would pass, and the next morning would come on time.
Because of his own strong true qi and the recovery ability of Nuwa Stone to run all the time, Li Mengluan, who had not slept all night, did not feel any fatigue, his face was still ruddy, and he still looked radiant.
But no one can know the tiredness and heaviness of her heart, from her birth to the present seventeen years, no one has been able to have such a serious impact on her heart, Xuantian is indeed the first person to completely enter her heart.
"Distracting thoughts are so heavy, how can I improve in the future? The Demon Domain will attack at any time, and I can't slack off like this anymore. ”
Thinking of this, Li Mengluan was ready to eliminate delusions and concentrate on it. Forget all your worries and let your mind calm again.
But as soon as he was ready, there was a knock on the door.
Li Mengluan, who finally adjusted her mentality, heard this "noise", and even she felt a little angry when she never got angry.
But she certainly wouldn't ignore it, and walked over and opened the door. The moment she opened the door, she saw the culprit who had disturbed her peace of mind.
Li Mengluan saw Xuantian standing in front of him, his heart was extremely complicated, and he stood in place for a long time, but he couldn't say a word, as if he had lost the ability to speak in an instant.
Xuantian saw that Li Mengluan's behavior was a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Mengluan, what's wrong?"
When Li Mengluan heard Xuantian's voice, Fang came back to his senses, shook his head, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm a little sluggish." Brother Tian came to me, do you have something to tell me?"
Xuantian showed a smile and said: "You have been living in the Yasukuni Palace before, and suddenly you change places, you will definitely not be used to living at first, and it is normal to not sleep well." I didn't come to you today for any important reason, just to thank you. ”
Li Mengluan showed a puzzled look on his face, and said, "Thank you, why did Brother Tian thank me?"
"Not for myself, but for my uncle Qingling. Shouldn't I thank you for her because you saved her from making a big mistake yesterday?" Xuantian explained.
I heard him mention Qing again
Ling, Li Mengluan's heart suddenly felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what it was like, but he still responded with a smile: "It's a lot of effort, why worry about it." And my actions, which led to an easy escape for the enemy, must not have been a proper move in the eyes of the king. ”
Xuantian shook his head and said, "The next time Uncle Shi goes to meet the king, he will explain everything that happened this time to the king clearly." As the head of a country, he must be a person who takes the overall situation into account, and he will not blame you for such details. ”
Li Mengluan responded with a smile: "I think so too, I hope the king can understand what I do." ”
"Master Qi said that he was looking for you, and he is waiting for you in the council hall now, in fact, this is the real purpose of my coming. A sly smile appeared at the corner of Xuantian's mouth.
"Brother Tian, how can you tease me like this? Master Qi must have been waiting for a long time. Before the words fell, Li Mengluan hurriedly ran out of the room and rushed in the direction of the conference hall.
Xuantian looked at her panicked back, and there was a very special feeling in his heart, and even he himself couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind this feeling.
