Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Divine Pearl
Ning Shuang smiled bitterly: "It is already miserable to go out to practice far from home, and it is not easy to find a good friend who knows each other. ”
She looked at Ning Yu in a daze, with endless tenderness hidden in her eyes, "Although she is simple and a little stupid, in today's world, simplicity is not a rare quality." ”
Qinghe: "Yes, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart, it's not a bad thing to be too simple, it's the most important thing to have a pure heart." ”
The cold words dissipated in the light rain, and the three lonely figures quickly disappeared into the boundless night.
After a long time, a black shadow came out of a deep alley, thin and not tall, the man clutched the black cloak on his body, and tried his best to shrink himself into the cloak, revealing only a pair of small eyes all over his body.
Zhou Xiaotong watched the surroundings vigilantly, and she stared at the slightest hint of wind and grass until the sound disappeared.
It wasn't until there were finally no pedestrians on the street that she came out of the alley and walked briskly in one direction next to the wall.
The cold, damp air made her breath a little difficult, but she endured it with all her might, and it was not until she walked out of the town and came to a hidden cave not far from the town that she took off her cloak and revealed her little pale face.
She looked behind her, and after making sure that there was no one with her, she exhaled boldly.
The cave was not eroded by the rain, the hay on the ground was still fluffy, and Zhou Xiaotong sat lazily on it to rest, holding his head and looking at the sparse stars in the sky.
This cave was a small place for her to release her emotions, and she first discovered it by accident after chasing a wild hare.
Maybe it's the habitat of wild beasts, or maybe it's a cave dug by casual cultivators to cultivate here, but no matter what, it's all hers now.
The stone walls of the cave are full of scratches, insulting words, and painted portraits, all of which are her works, and whenever she is bullied or unaccustomed to anyone in the Fusheng Pavilion, she will come here to vent her anger, trying to find the pleasure of releasing her anger in this short period of venting.
She looked around the stone wall until her gaze stopped.
After staring at it for a moment, she suddenly got up, picked up a stone and scratched the portrait on the wall.
"Cheap woman! Cheap woman! Let you bully me! See if I don't scratch your face! Slut...... Slut!"
The shrill sound reverberated throughout the cave, especially terrifying on a dark, cold, rainy night.
The head of Lingyun, which was originally painted on the wall, was scratched all over his face at the moment, and he could no longer see the original appearance, some of the scratches had turned yellow and turned old, obviously this portrait had existed for a long time.
"Senior Sister Lingyun, me!" she showed a vicious and cold smile: "Scratch your face, see if you dare to bully me, I'm afraid you won't even dare to go out to meet people!"
She raised her hand and swiped again: "It's difficult to even marry someone if you are disfigured! I will make you unable to marry for the rest of your life! Be an ugly monster for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, there was another piercing scratching sound.
After a long time, Zhou Xiaotong stopped, gasping for breath, and it took a long time to calm down.
Sitting back on the hay, Zhou Xiaotong lay on his back and looked at the roof of the cave, all the anger accumulated in the past few days was vented, and he only felt extremely comfortable at the moment.
After gently closing her eyes and resting for a while, she seemed to think of something, got up and walked to a corner, and with both hands she picked up the dirt and took out a beautifully carved wooden box.
She stole it from a senior sister, and she still remembered that the senior sister had a big tantrum when she found out that the box was missing, and she was like two people who were gentle and gentle on weekdays, and she looked at her ugly appearance coldly, and laughed in her heart.
The lock of the box was broken by her, and there were a few hairpins and a few boxes of rouge inside, all of which were worthless things, some stolen and some picked up.
Zhou Xiaotong glanced at those things with disgust, and sneered: "I usually take care of them like treasures, but they are just some rags, and I don't want to give them to others for nothing!"
Although he was disgusted, Zhou Xiaotong never threw them away, and carefully put them aside.
There was a small bronze mirror in the innermost, Zhou Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up.
She never looked in the mirror before, because her appearance was really mediocre, the kind that she couldn't find in the crowd.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, touching her rough skin, a little angry.
Why didn't God give her a good look? Why did those people who are gentle and unattainable on the surface look hundreds of times better than her? Why? She is not reconciled!
The face in the mirror became more and more distorted, Zhou Xiaotong raised his hand violently, and the bronze mirror fell to the wall and shattered into countless pieces.
The fragments refracted countless faces of Zhou Xiaotong, strange and impermanent in the dim cave.
Zhou Xiaotong stared coldly at the debris on the ground, but another figure appeared in his mind.
Cold and lonely, like a lotus flower on a snow-capped mountain, it is as beautiful as it is.
Zhou Xiaotong muttered: "So beautiful, temperament out of dust, if only give me her face......"
It's strange to say, she never thought Ji Yue was good-looking before, even if her face was good, but it gave people a very fake and contrived feeling, even the arrogant and domineering Lingyun, she felt that she was much better looking than Ji Yue.
But I don't know why, since the last time I witnessed Ji Yue forcing Lingyun back, I was attracted by the temperament on her body, and I unconsciously followed.
It was the first time she had the courage to speak up to someone, but it ended in failure.
She still remembers Ji Yue's eyes when she looked at her, calm and sharp, as if the little caution in her heart was seen through by her at a glance, naked in front of her, without the slightest secret to speak of.
She can't be seen through by others, so she runs away, keeping her secret, but loses the chance to regain her dignity.
She thought that if she hadn't run away at that time, she would definitely be following Senior Sister Jiyue to cultivate hard now, even if Lingyun came to bully her again, she would still have Senior Sister Jiyue's protection.
Unfortunately, it was already late.
If you don't succeed once, there will be no second time.
Zhou Xiaotong looked at the fragments on the ground, her mood stumbled, and after a long time, she stretched out her hand, picked up the fragments piece by piece and put them in the box.
"Ahh
The splinters scratched the fingers, blood gushed out, and a drop slipped onto a round bead in the box.
The bead was wrapped in a net-like pocket, and the blood submerged into the bead, and suddenly a golden light lit up, breaking through the net pocket, and instantly bounced into Zhou Xiaotong's body.
Zhou Xiaotong was frightened to the ground by the sudden change, she looked at the box in horror, and the net pocket that was broken by the beads was still in the box.
She kept backing away, holding her head and shouting, "Don't kill me!"
However, the golden light soon disappeared, and the cave returned to darkness again.
Zhou Xiaotong was stunned for a while before he got up, buried the box in the soil with trembling hands, put on his cloak and left the cave quickly.
