Seventy-four
Tonight's encounter was embarrassing but made Jiang Xingque feel inexplicably at ease, if there was no such coincidence, I was afraid that the two would not know when they would have the opportunity to talk alone like this again.
When he was young, Bai Qian had no queen because of the Yan family, and Ye Wanchi preferred techniques such as medicine Gu to swordsmanship formations. So he ran to Jiang's every day, looking for Jiang Xingyin to play with Jiang Xingsong, and after many years, he also got the title of Jiang Xingque's third brother.
Too much time had passed, so Bai Qian couldn't actually recall why Jiang Xingque had been staying in his heart.
There is only a vague figure in my memory, a little child wearing a dress embroidered with sprinkled golden plums, and the farts follow behind them, "Brother, brother", and every time they run, those sprinkled golden plums will rise and fall as if they are about to be scattered.
He had thought that everything would be as happy as he was a child, until the accident struck him without warning ten years ago. The Jiang family completed the funeral of the head of the family and the young master in a very low-key manner, but announced to the entire Kunlun region half a month later that the new young master was Jiang Xingque and Jiang Xingge.
Since then, Bai Qian has never entered the Jiang family's main mansion in private, and he has never heard the voice of the third brother again.
Bai Qian also naively thought that he might be able to become friends with Jiang Xingge, so that he could be the same as before. But with just a quick glance at the ceremony of giving jade, he realized that everything was just his own delusion, and that the boy who was a few years younger than him had nothing but coldness and silence.
In the next ten years, Bai Qian and Jiang Xingque tacitly became estranged from each other, and when someone asked, they only said that they were nodding friends.
Jiang Xingque shook his legs hanging outside the trestle, sighed deeply, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he asked, "Third brother, why didn't you come to play with me again at that time?"
"My brothers were not with me, and even my mother was gone. At first, I would run to their door and knock on the door, hoping that there would be a candle fire in the house, and then someone would rush to open the door for me, fearing that I would catch a cold. But over the years, I also understood that the past cannot be traced. ”
Jiang Xingque's voice was extremely soft, as if it would be dispersed by the night wind, but Bai Qian still heard it clearly, as if those words were sent into his ears by a girl.
"I was very fond of you. Bai Qian thought for a moment, and finally answered truthfully what he thought in his heart, but at the end he added: "But after all, it is just the ignorance throbbing of childhood, as you said, the past cannot be traced." ”
Jiang Xingque seemed to be taken aback when he heard this, but after a while, he returned to normal. She turned her head sideways and smiled a little undisguised at Bai Qi, her beautiful eyes full of stars.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Bai Qian spoke first: "Do you want to go to the world to see?"
This time, Jiang Xingque was no longer as calm as before, and she exclaimed, "Now?"
"Hmm. Bai Qian replied affirmatively.
"Breaking the Kunlun enchantment without permission, leaving the Kunlun Five Peaks without an order, this is a forbidden thing. In order to make himself look more serious, Jiang Xingque stopped his legs that were originally dangling, straightened his waist and reminded.
Bai Qi replied disapprovingly, "But you've always wanted to go to the world, haven't you?" I want to make you happy, you don't seem to be happy lately. ”
Jiang Xingque was stunned again when he heard this, but he couldn't hide his emotions, so he deliberately quipped: "Young Master Bai, who has always been an example for the children of the family, really plans to violate the school rules with me, a stubborn person?"
The young man in front of him looked at Jiang Xingque's full smile, frowned silently, he put his fingertips against the girl's stretched eyebrows, and then said: "You don't have to be like this, if you don't want to laugh, it's okay not to laugh." ”
The sweet smile was gradually retracted, and in the end, only a face without the slightest expression remained, without joy or sorrow, indifferent and calm.
Bai Qian leaned back, then pulled out the frost that Jiang Xingque was behind him, and handed it to the other party: "Break the formation." ”
Jiang Xingque took over her sword, the position where the jade pendant should have fallen was empty at the moment, and it had obviously been collected for a long time, but her heart still sank.
The moon shadow white school uniform lined the girl under the stars like the moon god came to the world, she stood on the edge of the trestle, one step forward is the abyss.
The sword in her hand was skillfully pulled out for a burst of sword flowers, Bai Qian originally only thought that Jiang Xingque was casually changing the direction of the sword, but when she took back the sword, a complete rune gradually appeared in front of her, and even became more and more eye-catching, even Bai Qian couldn't help but be shocked.
The rune slowly moved towards the southwest as if it were guiding something, and Jiang Xingque followed slowly. The plain hem of her clothes swayed gently with the footsteps that stepped out of the trestle, but the girl did not fall straight down as Bai Qian thought. With some embarrassment, he withdrew his half-outstretched hand and stood on the trestle, watching the white figure walk towards the endless stars.
Finally, when Jiang Xingque almost melted into the thousands of stars, she raised her hand to spread the frost across the side of her face, and put the two fingers of her left hand together, holding a talisman seal across the sword body.
The tip of the sword that shone with cold light pointed to the center of the previous rune, and the girl whispered in her mouth: "The moon reflects the blue sky, and the sword breaks through the stars." ”
The right hand holding the sword stabbed the sword precisely at the point of light in the center of the rune as the spell ended, and at the moment when the frost pierced the rune, the night sky seemed to be torn along that point, and countless fine cracks gradually extended.
Bai Qi looked up at the cracks that spread to his eyes from far and near, and he looked back through the gaps, where the real sky was, except for a faint moonlight, there was only endless darkness left.
The moment the frost fell back, the night sky that had been shattered finally seemed to be unable to continue to support, and scattered one after another, and the bright stars in the eyes suddenly became an extremely ordinary night.
Jiang Xingque was stunned with his sword, as if he hadn't expected it, but in the end, he didn't do anything else, just put the frost fall back into the sheath, and walked back to Bai Qi's eyes step by step in the extremely shallow moonlight.
The young man looked at the point like a faint lone star gradually approaching him, and finally turned into a familiar outline, there seemed to be water waves gently rippling under her feet, Bai Qian knew that only those who have mastered cultivation and spiritual power can support themselves with spiritual power and walk on the ground like this, and among these Kunlun disciples, I am afraid that they can count on one hand.
"The movement is too big, I'm afraid the head knows it. Jiang Xingque tilted her head and smiled helplessly, she had a trace of retreat, and wanted to use the head as an excuse to let Bai Qian retreat. didn't want the other party to come according to the routine, changed his previous appearance, and replied with a sly smile: "Then let's go quickly, while the head hasn't caught us yet." ”
As he spoke, the young man drew the sword behind him, and used the sword technique to control the sword body to hang in the air and jumped up, and then stretched out his hand to Jiang Xingque and said, "Let's go." ”
The girl hesitated, then glanced at the bamboo grove behind the trestle, and saw that there was still no one at the exit of the path, so she took the hand that was reaching out to her with determination.
The spirit sword under her body was shining with a slight blue light, Jiang Xingque seemed to remember something, and joked: "If I remember correctly, this sword should be called Qingmeng, right?" she said and poked the white sword in front of her, but without waiting for the other party to answer, she continued: "The boat full of stars and rivers suppresses Qingmeng." If I hadn't broken the formation, the night scene would have been extremely compatible, which would have been a pity. ”
Although Bai Qian did not answer, the smile in his eyes deepened a little, at this moment he was more like returning to his childhood, the four children took advantage of the dead of night to sneak out of the high wall of the enchantment, under the stars and moonlight, as if the world was their paradise of freedom.
