Many people have someone who silently guards you in their lives, who will always appear in time when you need it, and quietly retreat when you don't need it, so that you will not be aware of his existence, and will not have any bad impact on your life. Sometimes the person is of the same sex, and sometimes the person is of the opposite sex.

Man is a very strange animal, when he has it, he doesn't feel precious at all, but once he loses it, he begins to cry bitterly, he is in pain, and he is even willing to exchange everything he has.

The current Tang Zixi is in this state.

All along, she thought that what she liked was the Seventh Prince, who was always as gentle as jade. She thinks of him, and she looks forward to him, and there seems to be no one else in her life except this man. There are always people in her ears who tell her that the Seven Princes are gentle and elegant, the Seven Princes are tolerant and generous, and the Seven Princes are benevolent and wise......

Of course, the most important point is that the Seventh Prince really likes this eldest lady of the Tang family, and has proved this idea with his actions countless times.

Slowly, she thought she liked him too.

Indeed, she did like to be with this teenager. is not only because of the other party's ubiquitous meticulousness and thoughtfulness, but also because when she was with him, she felt that she was a qualified daughter of the Tang family, which best met the definition of a lady in everyone's minds.

But it wasn't until this moment that she finally understood that these so-called qualifications, so-called conformities, and even so-called likes were all based on other people's preferences. The feelings for the Seven Princes are not what others hope, or they are not what she thinks.

It's just a very complicated feeling that even she can't explain herself, there is admiration, admiration, dependence, and like, and there is no peace of mind alone. She is not so much facing a lover as a teacher, a brother, or a close friend......

In the final analysis, she is still a weak woman who is afraid of making mistakes.

In fact, it is not to blame for Miss Tang's ignorance before, every woman is confused and helpless before she meets her true lover. They will always be influenced by this or that speech, and they don't know what they really want in their hearts, let alone what is best for them. Many times they will agree to marry a man, not because she loves him much, but simply because that person is the best fit at that point in time. Because there are too many factors that will contribute to the facts, such as the standard that he is suitable for his parents, for example, he is suitable for the perception of the woman herself at that time, and for example, the timing is just right at that time. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, those feelings of mutual happiness and unswerving will make people feel so precious.

Tang Zixi was not a gentle and virtuous woman, nor was she a daughter who met the standards of a high-ranking official. As the Taoist priest of Youfang said at the beginning, she is actually a man who was born in the wrong place, and she is a bold man in her bones. So she doesn't like female celebrities, she doesn't like sad spring and autumn, she doesn't like to talk about parties and jewelry, in short, she doesn't like everything that other ladies like.

So what does she like?

She likes to stand on the top of a high mountain, facing the cold mountain wind, dancing a long sword full of cold light into a gorgeous sword flower, she likes to ride her beloved little red horse galloping in the wilderness, laughing wantonly, and she prefers to see every sad face with a happy smile because of her own efforts. Of course, all this was despised by the young lady, but in her opinion, everything in it was much more interesting than the things that a woman should do this and should be like that.

It's not that Tang Zixi was unhappy when she was with Li Ling, on the contrary, she didn't have any unhappy times only when she was with Li Ling.

Li Ling's observation is so meticulous, Li Ling's thoughtfulness is so comprehensive, she can always prepare everything in advance when she wants to get it or can't think of it, and she doesn't even give her a chance to frown, she really can't even find a trace of fault. She often silently said to herself in her heart, this life is him!

But as the saying goes, Jin Wuzu is no one perfect, Li Ling also has shortcomings, and his only shortcoming, that is, he is not by her side every time she really needs him.

......

The woman in white fed a yellow berry in her palm to the white crane, patted its neck gently, and whispered something. The white crane immediately flapped its wings with a loud roar.

The sound of the crane woke up the pensive girl, raised her head to meet the curious gaze of the woman in white, immediately wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Sister fairy, you are born so beautiful, just like a fairy in the sky, I should have seen you in a dream!"

The woman in white obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing, she was stunned at first, then laughed, and said, "My name is Diao Li, it's good if you call Sister Diao, by the way, you haven't answered why I'm here alone?"

Now that he knew the identity of the other party in his heart, Tang Zixi thought of a countermeasure almost instantly, and immediately said half-truthfully: "My brother is very sick, so my aunt brought me and my sister here to find medicinal herbs." ”

She is not lying, although Li Sheng's identity is still an unsolved mystery, but since she can come here to find the Heavenly Spider Fruit for Su Jing, she is naturally not an enemy. As for the title of aunt, it's not that she is talking nonsense, but following the phantom Qingyi, isn't the culprit who can get here the mysterious 'aunt'?

"Looking for medicinal herbs here?" Diao Li's face showed a suspicious look, and he quietly glanced at the childish face, and suddenly changed his words, "What about your aunt and sister, why didn't they come with you?"

"That's right. Tang Zixixin pointed in a direction and said, "My aunt took my sister over there, and we discussed who found the medicinal herbs first and sent a signal." After speaking, she really found a delicate bamboo pipe, which was given to her by Li Sheng before.

Diao Li looked at the bamboo pipe and nodded noncommittally: "Anyway, I have to stay for a while, this place is dangerous, if you don't dislike it, follow me." ”

Tang Zixi couldn't ask for it, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "It's so good, then thank you in advance." In her opinion, this life-saving benefactor she had been living four years later was much safer than the cold spider.

Diao Li smiled strangely and said, "No need, just help each other." ”

"Oh!" Although Tang Zixi didn't quite understand the meaning of this, since the other party was a miracle doctor and had a white crane as a mount, it was better than her breaking through here alone.

The two of them left on the front foot, and Li Sheng arrived on the back foot, staring at the compass flashing in his hand and muttering, "Obviously I was still here just now." At this moment, she was carrying a huge burden, bulging without knowing what it was containing, and her arms were also full, looking like a big leather ball, quite funny.

She jumped on a boulder and looked around, but didn't find anyone, and sighed in disappointment: "It's not that I don't want to take you with me, it's really time urgent, and if I don't rush back, it's really too late." I just hope that you will be blessed with a great life and can hold on until I come back!" After speaking, he opened the bamboo pipe in his hand and let it out with a bang.

Soon, the huge bone peng rushed down from the sky through layers of mist, and the little people who probed their brains between the cracks in the bones could be faintly seen, and they all let out excited screams when they saw the girls returning with a full load.

Li Sheng unwillingly glanced around again, and finally made up his mind to fly up, and landed firmly on Gu Peng's back, with a coquettish sound, Gu Peng took her to the sky, and soon disappeared into the sky.

It seemed that he sensed Li Sheng's departure, and Tang Zixi, who was concentrating on following forward, suddenly turned his head, looked in a certain direction and sighed softly.

Diao Li, who had been secretly paying attention to her, opened her mouth and asked, "What's the matter? Is it your aunt and they are here?"

"It's not. Tang Zixi shook his head, thought about it and said honestly, "I seem to hear someone crying over there." ”

"Is there one?" Diao Li frowned, tilted his head slightly, pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, then shook his head after a while, "There is no one within a radius of ten miles!" After a pause, he added, "But half a mile away, there seems to be a river." ”

She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she mentioned the river, Tang Zixi suddenly felt extremely thirsty, and immediately proposed: "Why don't we go to the river and have a look, maybe my aunt and they are also there." ”

Diao Li pondered for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "It's okay!" After speaking, the direction changed, and she really took Tang Zixi in the direction of the river in her mouth.

After about half an hour of incense, the two of them stood in front of a black hill.

In fact, this hill is not big, and it is only a few feet square. The whole mountain is made of a black rock of different shapes, the whole is in the shape of an inverted bowl, and at the bottom of the bowl is a black statue with a human face and a beast body, and there are three doors on the edge of the bowl, which are located directly below the statue.

It's rare to have such a hill in this area, at least on the previous journey, and even the larger rocks were extremely hard to see, let alone such a well-preserved stone mountain. Therefore, the strangeness of this place is obvious.

Diao Li looked at the hill in front of him thoughtfully, suddenly raised his hand into his arms, took out a piece of parchment, unfolded it, and began to study it seriously against the surrounding terrain.

Seeing the other party's serious appearance, Tang Zixi on the side did not make a sound, but began to walk slowly around the hill to see if he could find some useful information from it.

The two of them did their jobs, and neither bothered anyone. They were so focused that they didn't notice the statue's eyes move. As the statue moved, somewhere deep inside the hill, a pair of yellow eyes appeared out of thin air, and then disappeared again.

At the same time, Tang Zixi, who was outside the hill, had already made a discovery, and stretched out his hand without hesitation.
