Chapter 43: The Night Was Long
In the evening, Li Shuyu carried chestnuts on his back and returned to the Mountain God Cave Mansion with Li Sixiu before the sunset disappeared.
When he arrived at the door, Li Sixiu suddenly became a little timid, he stole Lingzhi and became a demon, and the elder Lilanjing might be disappointed in him, so he left Huoshan and stopped interacting with Lishuyu. However, what he feared did not happen, and his sudden visit was warmly welcomed by Lilanjing, who warmly invited him into the cave to sit as soon as she saw Lisixiu, without even looking at Li Shuyu and the basket full of chestnuts on her back.
"Why did you suddenly come to Camel Mountain?" she brewed the best flower tea for Li Sixiu, looked at his silver-gray hair and the demon lines on his face, and said with great distress: "You have suffered." ”
Li Shuyu, who was squatting beside the bonfire and roasting chestnuts, snorted and laughed: "It's quite suffering, being a protector in the demon world, and stretching out my hands to eat every day to open my mouth, it's just miserable." ”
"Do you use your mouth to roast chestnuts?" she glared at her, "eat your stuff." ”
Lishuyu pursed her mouth and remained silent.
"I came to Huoshan to find Shuyu for something, and I just happened to come to see Sister Lan Jing. Li Sixiu was in a better mood after seeing Lilanjing, and said happily: "I heard that you and your brother-in-law have a son named Su'er, why haven't you seen it?"
"When he was twelve years old, he was sent to Dongbao Xianweng as a fairychild. When it comes to her son, Lilanjing can't help but feel a little sad: "Su'er has not been in good health since she was born, when he was twelve years old, Dongbao Xianweng came to me as a guest when he traveled to earth, and saw that Su'er was weak, so he kindly accepted Su'er as a fairy child and took him to the eastern fairy island for recuperation." ”
Li Sixiu nodded: "That's a good thing." ”
"What's good, the Eastern Immortal Island is located in the sea formation, and it moves every three months, and she can't see it if she wants to go to see Su'er. Li Shuyu snorted lightly, and said angrily: "I still relied on Ah Feng's face to see Su'er once, the little guy didn't know how to be raised, and he was white and fat and was about to become a ball." ”
That means that the island eats well and sleeps well, and the fairy has not treated Su'er harshly. Lilanjing scolded: "You also have to run too hard, so that the immortal Weng will think that we don't trust him." ”
Li Sixiu watched the two sisters arguing and laughed unconsciously. How long had it been since he had seen it, and the happiest time for him had been so long ago.
While speaking, Meng Ke also came back from patrolling the mountain, and when he saw Li Sixiu, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some doubts: "Sixiu?"
"It's me, brother-in-law. ”
Meng Ke couldn't laugh, he looked at the demon lines on Li Sixiu's face, revealing the same expression as Li Lanjing.
"Brother-in-law, don't feel sorry for me. Li Sixiu comforted him: "Although I have become a demon, I still meditate on the inside, and there is no difference between when I was in Lingyuan." ”
"Alas......" Meng Ke sighed, "You have suffered." ”
Li Shuyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, and was about to say what she just said again, but was glared back by Lilanjing's eyes.
At dinnertime, Lilanjing burned a table of Li Sixiu's favorite dishes, saying that he had become thinner in the demon world, and urged him to eat more. Li Shuyu sat next to him coldly and picked up rice, took the dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen when he was full, and then went out of the cave to shine on the moon.
Tonight the sky is excellent, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce and the dark clouds are missing, Li Shuyu sat on the big stone and counted the stars, counted and fell asleep.
In her sleep, she fell into a soft, warm cloud, surrounded by a light golden mist of light and familiar bursts of sandalwood, making her a little dizzy. She hadn't smelled it in days, what was the owner of the smell doing at the moment? Was he doing well? Did he miss her?
"Shuyu. ”
A gentle call came from far and near, and she opened her eyes in the haze, and the starry sky was still in the eyes, but it was no longer the big stone at the entrance of the cave.
"Awake?"
Qi Feng looked down at Li Shuyu's little head resting on his lap, and chuckled: "You slept heavily, and I didn't wake up when I moved you all the way." ”
Li Shuyu looked at the smiling face that was looking down at him at the moment, only to feel that the love was rushing out like a flood bursting the embankment, and without thinking about it, he raised his hand and pulled down his neck and pressed his lips heavily against his lips.
It was an abrupt and eager kiss, like a sudden rain, Qi Feng's eyes widened for a moment, and then he reached out to hug her, feeling her clumsy and undisciplined contact, and responded to her patiently and gently with his lips.
"I miss you so much. Li Shuyu said with a crying voice.
Qi Feng felt a trace of sourness in her heart, and hugged her tighter.
"Me too. ”
Since that day, as soon as Zixiao Palace was farewell, he ran around for sleeveless things, and several other leading immortals were not happy, Ao Qi, as the prince, had to track down the sleeveless traces and take care of the East China Sea, and was often so anxious that he thundered to vent his anger, and Luo Lin also didn't return to Penglai because he was busy for a long time, and he often talked about Qihuang and wanted to be angry with him. Today, he just finished investigating many countries in the eastern part of the human world, and when he passed through the camel mountain, he couldn't help but fall down to try his luck, but he didn't expect to see Li Shuyu lying on the boulder dozing, so he gently picked her up and quietly took her to this mountain covered with wild flowers and grass.
Li Shuyu hugged Qi Feng and cried for a while, and finally slowly regained her composure, she pulled her head out of his arms, carefully looked at his eyebrows and eyes that were tired from being busy, and said distressedly: "You have lost weight." ”
Qi Feng reached out and pinched her waist and said with a smile: "You are fat." ”
Li Shuyu was a little weak-hearted, and whispered: "You always have to eat." ”
"Yes, I'm relieved to see you fat. Qi Feng rested her chin on her forehead and sighed with relief: "If I see that you are not in good spirits, then there is one more thing that bothers me." ”
Li Shuyu's heart was warm, she raised her head and rubbed her nose on his chin, as if she was coquettish, and as if she was appeased.
"I heard that Luo Xi Yuanjun has been reinstated. ”
Li Shuyu's body stiffened, and he whispered after a while: "Well, I will deal with the red python clan on the day of my reinstatement." ”
"Is your master okay?"
"Not good. Li Shuyu shook his head, "Master is very sad, the day he received the edict of heaven, he went into retreat, the senior brothers are all six gods and no master, and I will be more and more sad to stay there, so I took the opportunity to send pills to Luo Xi Yuanjun and lived directly in Huoshan." ”
"You've worked hard. Qi Feng patted her on the back and soothed: "At present, as long as you don't meet the sleeveless head-on, Luo Xi Yuanjun will not be in danger, she has great ability." ”
This sentence of "hard work" immediately reminded her of Li Sixiu at dinner, and she couldn't help but sit up straight, looked at Qi Feng and said solemnly: "Ah Feng, I have something very important to tell you." ”
Qi Feng was driven by her to become nervous, and couldn't help but say, "You say." ”
"Today Si Xiu is here. ”
Qi Feng's face collapsed instantly.
"But he's not here for me, he's here for a very serious business. Li Shuyu patted the back of Qi Feng's hand to signal him not to be angry for a while, and continued: "He overheard the conversation between Sleeveless and his subordinates, and guessed that the reason for Sleeveless refining the Ten Thousand Armies Listening to the Talisman was not to unify the Three Realms, but to have something to do with the Yinghu Immortals. He wanted to meet the Glowing Fox Immortal in person and ask for clarification, but the Glowing Fox Immortal was in Penglai, and he couldn't go, so he came to look for me, and asked me to help him think of a way. ”
Qi Feng was a little funny: "Please, what's the use of you, you don't even know how to write the word Penglai." ”
The corners of Li Shuyu's mouth twitched, and she said unconvinced: "I can write!"
"Yes, I can write. Qi Feng snorted, raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There is no wind, although this kid is not reliable, but these words are still credible, the Yinghu Immortal and the Sleeveless do have a relationship, maybe they really know something." ”
"That's without further ado, we'll leave tomorrow at dawn!" Li Shuyu made a gesture to stand up, his knees were not straightened and he was pulled by Qi Feng's arm and sat down, and his back was all leaning into his arms.
"No hurry, it's still some time before dawn. ”
Li Shuyu listened to the whispers in his ear, his face turned red, his limbs went weak, and he couldn't walk at all.
"By the way, I accompanied Xuehua'er back to Swallowing Waling with Ao Shu Shangxian a few days ago, and I learned that the current wolf king of the silver wolf clan had thrown himself into the city without sleeves. Ao Shu Shangxian took Xuehua'er to meet the Emperor of Heaven, interceded for Xuehua'er and the Silver Wolf Clan, and sent Xuehua'er to the Purple Pole Immortal Weng to practice. ”
Li Shuyu whispered to Qi Feng to report the itinerary and what she had seen in the past few days, Qi Feng rested her chin on the soft hair on the corner of her forehead, and listened to her quietly and patiently, with a shallow smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"On that day, the Emperor of Heaven summoned all the immortals, and Luolin Shangxian was also there. ”
Qi Feng was shocked by this cold name, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Shuyu felt his arms tighten suddenly, and hurriedly added: "I heard Ao Shu Shangxian say that she never liked this kind of occasion, but she came uninvited that day, and she also talked about the gold roster several times. ”
"The Golden Roster?"
"Well, Yun Chai's brother Yun Tao said that the reason why Yun Chai defected to the clan and followed Sleeveless was because Sleeveless told him that his name had been on the gold roster. ”
"His name is indeed on the Golden Register, but it was after I hunted down Wucheng, and besides, the Golden Register is now in my hands, how did I know it without sleeves?" Qi Feng was also completely in the mood to fall in love, his index finger on Li Shuyu's hand knocked unconsciously, frowned and said: "I have almost only met with Luoqi, Ao Qi and some juniors in the clan during this period, and the Golden Register has not been lost, does he really have the ability to reach the sky?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence. Li Shuyu comforted him: "Luolin Shangxian said that he guessed without sleeves, and he used this to deceive the clouds, and he was allowed to settle a deception." ”
"I don't rule it out. Qi Feng took a long breath, buried his face in the back of Li Shuyu's neck, and said a little tiredly: "But I always feel that it is not so simple. ”
"Mortals often say that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Li Shuyu turned over and knocked him down, lying on his chest and said with a smile: "Evil does not prevail over good, in the end, it must be Ah Feng that you win." ”
Qi Feng smiled bitterly: "What can't win, if it really costs the Three Realms to make a big move, then I will lose." ”
"Ah Feng, I don't have the same heart for the world as you, I just think that if you can return safely, it will be enough. Li Shuyu held his face, looked at it carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Hmm~ Gongzi is a rich and noble person, and he will definitely be able to live a long life and be full of children and grandchildren!"
Qi Feng raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "I have already achieved a long life, but the children and grandchildren are full of you." ”
Lishu Yudeng's face turned red and he was speechless.
"Cowardice. ”
Qi Feng chuckled and gently pressed her head.
It's still a long time before dawn.
