Chapter 21: Persuasion
When I opened my eyes from a long dream, I saw a white expanse in front of me, and the sudden light was also a little dazzling, dazzling and blinding.
"Sister Changsheng, you're finally awake. ”
Before Changsheng could react, he heard Shen Yan's voice with a bit of joy in his ears.
"Ah Yan....... Sister?" Changsheng was a little dry and hesitant when he spoke. "Where is this?"
"We're in the inn of Nine Plains City right now. Shen Yan replied as he poured a glass of water for Changsheng.
"Jiuyuan?" Changsheng took the water cup and paused.
Without waiting for her to ask more, Shen Yan explained: "That night, we returned from the gathering in Sanyuan Town, and Sister Changsheng, you left the Famous Sword Villa at night and went to the Qiulan Immortal Pavilion in the Near Ink City. When Bai Shangxian found out, you fainted there and were unconscious. ”
"Mr. Cangming said that the immortal sister is because she has awakened the memory and power of her previous life, and her soul is not fully unable to withstand such power, and now there are signs of soul collapse. Bai Shangxian knelt down and begged, asking me to bring him to Jiuyuan to find the Jade of Remnant Snow. ”
Shen Yan's expression couldn't help but be a little complicated when she said this, she remembered that night when Bai Zhi came to her and knelt on the ground without saying a word, just to ask her to agree to help him find the Jade of the Remnant Snow and go to the Emperor's Mausoleum to find the green glaze.
"I originally stabilized the immortal soul with secret techniques, but because the three souls and seven souls were incomplete, her health has not been good since she was a child. Originally, there was nothing, but this time he obtained the memory and power of his previous life through the Sansheng Mirror in the Zhiqiu Pavilion, and if he couldn't find the green glass spirit as soon as possible to replenish the soul, there would only be the result of the soul being scattered. Miss Shen Yan, even if Bai Zhi owes you a favor, please take me to Jiuyuan and find the Jade of Remnant Snow. ”
The moment he knelt down, Shen Yan's brain was empty, and she nodded almost by inertia, and she didn't react until she was taken to Jiuyuan City by Bai Zhi Imperial Sword.
However, Shen Yan did not regret it. Bai Zhi is worried about immortality, why isn't she worried?
Changsheng lowered his head, and after listening to Shen Yan's words, he didn't say anything else, but asked, "Does Sister Ah Yan know where the Jade of Remnant Snow is?"
Shen Yan shook his head: "I don't know." Mr. Cangming said that the ninth floor had intercepted the intelligence of the Tulip Knight, and knew what the jade of the remnant snow looked like, so he went to the ninth floor with Qiuluo. Maybe it will be the ninth day today. ”
As he spoke, a figure shook outside the door. Then the door was opened, and it was Bai Zhi who came in from the outside, holding a bowl of white porridge in his hand.
Seeing that Changsheng had woken up, there was more gloom on his face than joy.
But in the end, he was used to being calm to the point of almost indifference at all times, and Bai Zhi quickly returned to his usual appearance at this moment, but his slightly trembling hands still exposed the unrest in his heart.
"I think you should be awake now, so let's eat something first. ”
Bai Zhi said this, and walked closer with the bowl of porridge. But he stopped at a distance from Changsheng, and seemed to hesitate a little.
Shen Yan keenly felt that something was wrong with the current atmosphere. Between Changsheng and Bai Zhi, it was much stiffer than after what happened to Huai Jin before.
It would be nice if Mr. Cangming was here. Shen Yan thought so in her heart, she may have guessed what must have happened to Changsheng's previous life and Bai Zhi, so the two of them would have such an attitude as they are now. However, in the end, he is not as familiar as Cangming what happened.
From this point of view, Cangming's occasional ridicule and hostility towards Bai Zhi in the past was not Shen Yan's delusion, but real.
There were many thoughts in his heart, but Shen Yan knew that now was not the time to ask, so he stretched out his hand and brought the bowl in Bai Zhi's hand and pretended to smile easily: "Sister Changsheng shouldn't have much strength when she woke up, why don't I feed you." ”
Bai Zhi did not refuse, and let Shen Yan take the bowl from his hand, but he did not leave, but stood not far from the side as usual, looking at Changsheng quietly.
Shen Yan was originally worried that Changsheng would refuse, but in addition to the other party's words, he did not refuse her kindness, she fed her a spoonful and took a bite and fully cooperated.
When Cangming came back, such a stiff atmosphere still did not mean to warm up, but he was very adaptable and not uncomfortable. He even stepped forward and touched the top of Changsheng's head: "Xiao Changsheng is really willful, just run out by himself so recklessly, what if he encounters any other danger?" Brother Bai will be worried. ”
"Will Master still worry about me?" Changsheng asked, looking up at Bai Zhi, but there was no previous closeness and admiration in his eyes, but a numb color, just like when he gave up all hope in the Blissful Wasteland hundreds of years ago.
Bai Zhi was still silent, and there was a dead silence in his smoky gray pupils.
Cangming's gaze turned a few times, and finally he changed the topic and said, "I have already brought the portrait of the Jade of the Remnant Snow from Su Qing." Miss Shen, do you have an impression of it?"
As he said this, he took out a piece of cloth from between his sleeves and handed it out.
Shen Yan hurriedly reached out to take it, shook it slightly, and opened the cloth and held it in his hand. There was no superfluous stuff on it, only a piece of jade pendant outlined by ink lines. The shape is not square or round, about the size of a pigeon's egg, carved with the pattern of auspicious clouds, and in the center is a pattern that resembles a phoenix.
After looking at it for a long time, Shen Yan shook his head: "I have never seen such a jade pendant at home before. I didn't hear my father talk about them. ”
"That's weird. Cangming furrowed his brows and said, "In Mu Yuan's prophecy, the Jade of Remnant Snow is indeed in the Jiuyuan Shen family. Now the rest of the Shen family has died under the sword of the Tulip Knight........ It seems that you may have to go to Qianji Villa. ”
Changsheng said at this moment: "Uncle Cangming, there is no need to be so troublesome. As she spoke, she looked up at Cangming: "In the world, there will always be death." In the past, I couldn't see through it, but now I am content to live for eleven more years. ”
As soon as she said this, the hands under Bai Zhi's sleeves subconsciously clenched a lot, and her lips were tightly pursed. Those eyes looked straight at her for a long time, and then asked a little dryly, "Are you still complaining about me?"
Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything at all.
Of course she resented. But more grievances than grievances.
In the past, when she was Xuanyue, she regarded Bai Zhi as the only one, and she listened carefully to everything he said and remembered it in her heart. Even if he was bewitched by the heart demon to break into the forbidden land and seize the power of the demon god, he was still suppressed and not affected, just because Bai Zhi did not want this world to be affected by demons and increase the killing.
But others didn't believe that she wouldn't use the power of the demon god to disturb this continent, and Bai Zhi didn't believe her either.
There was no day and no sound under the Elysian Wasteland, and she stayed in it alone, living for more than seven hundred years.
At that time, she had thought that it would be best to die a hundred times. But he couldn't do it after all.
If he dies like this, wouldn't it be meaningless for him to seize the power of the demon god alive and end up to this end?
However, is it considered to be alive if you don't know what time is going to be alive?
Changsheng didn't know how Cangming and Bai Zhi had brought back her half-soul from under the Bliss Wasteland without touching the seal, and he didn't think to ask.
Between her and Bai Zhi, they can't go back to getting along like they did in the past.
Only death......
"Xiao Changsheng, I wasted so much effort to bring back your half-soul, but it wasn't for you to die. Cangming stepped forward, stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair fiercely, the light in his eyes was inexplicable, and he paused for a moment before he continued: "I have a very important favor that I need you to help me. Therefore, little Changsheng, you have to live peacefully. ”
Changsheng originally wanted to refute the words, but after hearing Cangming say this, he could only nod and turn it into a good word.
Xuanyue in the previous life didn't have much intersection with Cangming and was not very familiar, but the immortal in this life did receive a lot of kindness from the other party.
Maybe he really needs his help with something, or maybe it's just to give her a reason to live. No matter what, Changsheng couldn't refuse. Whether it is a past life or a present life, Xuanyue or Changsheng, they are all used to not being able to refuse people who treat them well.
The matter of going to the Thousand Machine Villa was thus decided. However, still not everyone went, and this time Cangming even left the autumn fall.
The immortal soul collapsed very badly, and since the day he woke up, he was in a coma all day long, and he was awake for less than one percent of the time. Bai Zhi was worried that she would just not wake up, even if she knew that she was not welcomed now, she still stayed by her side every inch. He was even more silent than before, in the past, there were Changsheng who spoke to him from time to time, and now that something like this happened, Changsheng didn't have the energy and didn't seem to want to communicate with him very much.
Shen Yan and Qiuluo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but they didn't say much.
The days passed like this, and Cangming, who thought he would come back soon, never returned.
On the fifth day, the people on the ninth floor came to the outside of the courtyard where they were renting, saying that they had come to protect them on the orders of the landlord.
"Miss Shen Yan's reappearance in Jiuyuan has already attracted the attention of most of the people who inquired about the news of the Jade of the Remnant Snow. The landlord received a letter from Mr. Cangming and sent us to be our guards. "The leader called himself Su Yue, a young man who was not very old. Wearing the robes of Confucian scholars and wearing a square scarf, although his face is a little ordinary, the momentum around his body is different from ordinary people. Compared to the Jianghu people, he seems to be more like a strategist who is between the strategists.
After saying something humble or arrogant, he didn't disturb Shen Yan and them much, so he retreated outside the courtyard.
Qiuluo was picking peas and preparing to make a pea cake for Changsheng at that time, and was startled by this posture, turned his head to Shen Yan and said: "In this case, Ah Yan should not go out recently, what danger will the province encounter." Bai Zhi was worried about immortality, and obviously didn't take care of them. Although there were people on the ninth floor, she still felt that it was safer to stay by Bai Zhi's side if she could.
Shen Yan nodded a little distractedly. Originally, I wanted to pay homage to my parents and brothers, but this time, I didn't want to go out rashly.
