Would she like to be a mortal?

Does she want power.

What does she want to do most?

What does she like, dislike, and dream...... He found that he did not understand any of this.

Li Yunxin sat alone on the bluestone for half an hour, like a silent statue. The night dew and the mist on the edge of the cave damp his hair and clothes, making his face look watery.

So, at the middle of the moon, he finally opened his mouth and whispered, "Mountain." ”

The thick fog above the cave was suddenly dispelled, and the clear moonlight sprinkled down. There was neither a tremor nor a loud noise. However, at the half-collapsed Jun Mountain—

Suddenly, a mountain peaks grew.

The water waves in the cave were stirred, but they were also silent. Some indescribably powerful force suppressed all the noise, as if the owner of that force did not want them to affect his state of mind.

The newborn mountain peaks were pulled out from Jun Mountain, like a giant bamboo shoot rushing straight to the sky. The plants and trees are withering and withering on this mountain peak, and the flowers are blooming and falling, as if thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After six breaths, the growth of the mountain stopped. It towers majestically in the middle of the lake, and the top is already covered with clouds.

Li Yunxin slowly raised his hand, grabbed it lightly, and whispered: "The essence of jade is thought to be a bone." ”

A burst of dust and mist suddenly rose from the mountain peak and began to slowly fall. But the fog was not fog, but the earth and rocks that originally covered the mountain. Because the mountain is so high and lonely, the earth and rocks fall very slowly, as if it is slowly fading away from the wind and dust.

When these earth and rocks fall, the true face of the mountain is revealed.

It's crystal warm all over. It bathes in and reflects the moonlight, reflecting a large expanse of water around it. It is a jade mountain. Among them, there is a hidden treasure but the glory is restrained, like the king of the mountain.

If there is another person here, when he sees this mountain, he should realize that the jade essence of the entire Middle Continent has been condensed by this mountain. Since then...... There will be no more treasures.

After Li Yunxin's whisper, a blue light appeared in front of him. With a flick of his finger again, the light blossom transforms into shape. In a mist, it takes the form of a bone.

As a result, the jade mountain standing in the cave suddenly lost all its brilliance and became pale and fragile. After another three breaths, the jade mountain collapsed and turned into a mist that shone silver in the moonlight. When the fog fell into the water, the water of Dongting Lake, which had been polluted by the catastrophe, became clear. When it falls on the shore, it turns into fine white sand.

Li Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, he whispered again, "Snow." ”

The white sand that fell on the edge of the lake and the silver mist that fell on the lake suddenly turned into ice and snow.

Ice and snow covered the cave for a moment. After he took a breath, a mirror had appeared in the thousands of miles of heaven and earth.

The ice was extremely cold, and it was extremely clear. You can see through the ice on the surface of the lake and see the bottom of the lake, as if the ice is just a phantom. The snow was extremely white, without a trace of impurities. The essence of water between heaven and earth was seized into this ice and snow by divine power, and even every snowflake and ice particle was hidden in spiritual light.

"Take the essence of ice and snow. Li Yunxin stretched out his hand, "It's skin." ”

Then the snow and ice melted suddenly. And beyond the jade bone, there is the ice muscle.

A body was natural, and the moonlight gilded her with silver light.

Li Yunxin stared at her for a while, waving his hand to conjure up clothes for her. Therefore, this neck and face are more like congealed fat against the backdrop of red clothes.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Flowers." ”

In this barren land, peach blossoms suddenly bloomed for thirty miles. The green leaves are green, and the flowers are new and red. This piece of pink incense is so that the moonlight is contaminated with fragrance, so it becomes softer and softer.

Li Yunxin raised his hand and picked a peach blossom from a branch in front of him. Twisted the peach blossom again and gently touched the cheeks of the jade man in front of him. So her face was bloody, and her lips were peachy.

And the peach blossoms that will bloom for thirty miles also withered and withered at this moment, leaving only a slanting shadow.

Li Yunxin stood up from the stone and walked down, looked at her carefully for a while, and sighed lowly: "Wake up." ”

After about two breaths, the red lady's eyelashes trembled. Then she opened her eyes, and her chest began to rise and fall slightly. It was still early spring, and she was out of the white mist.

The fusion of the completed soul and body made her stunned for a moment. She stared at Li Yunxin in front of her, and then turned her eyes to see the mist on the cave and the peach trees with only green leaves on the shore.

It took two more breaths before he spoke: "I ......"

"I've made up for you. A new body for you. Li Yunxin said, "But in this way, your soul will have no fate with the world, and your demonic power will not be preserved." You're mortal now. If you don't like it, I can help you practice - and get you back to the Xuan Realm as quickly as possible. ”

The red lady didn't speak, and tried to take a few steps. The soles of the embroidered shoes conjured up by Li Yunxin rubbed against the white sand, making a rustling sound. The first two steps seem to be due to weakness in the legs and feet, and they are a little weak. But she quickly adapted. It's like I'm learning to walk and I don't want to stop. She walked to the lake first, and took the tip of her shoe and lit some water. He walked back and went around to the peach forest.

Then, as if he was in a hurry, he walked to the depths of the peach forest.

She was no longer a demon, so she couldn't avoid the branches with her instinctive powers. Occasionally, her clothes were hooked, and she didn't stop. With just one struggle, the seemingly thin but extremely tough clothes were freed from the entanglement.

Li Yunxin was looking at her and waiting for her to say something. But after waiting for a while, I found that the figure of the red lady had disappeared into the depths of the forest.

He was stunned, frowned slightly, and followed.

When he walked into the forest, the branches automatically avoided him. So it only took a few dozen steps to see the former banshee - she didn't look left and right, and she didn't stop or stop. Her steps were steady, and it was clear that she was fully accustomed to the body.

She's in ...... Seriously hurry. It's not a tour.

Li Yunxin rushed up. Walk with her and ask in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

The red lady looked at her sideways. There was a mortal powerlessness in her face at this moment. But on such a face, there is no previous look of grievance, and there is not even the eagerness of the past. She only smiled: "You must have a lot of things to do." I'll be gone. ”

"Where are you going?" Li Yunxin frowned, "Why are you leaving?"

He'd asked it twice now.

The red lady stopped to look at him. Examining his face carefully, he sighed softly: "I don't blame you." You made good on your promise and gave me a new lease of life. Also newly generated individuals. I like to be human...... I also like to live a human life. ”

"But now that I'm out of magic and supernatural powers...... It won't help you, and it will become a burden. So I left. ”

"Who said-" Li Yunxin paused, and his tone soothed, "I said that you can be asked to rebuild." ”

"It's so tiring. The red lady said.

Li Yunxin stared at her. Subconsciously probe her river of fate.

But he couldn't see it anymore—from the moment she was reborn, the fate was cut off, and he couldn't see her.

"Hmm. Li Yunxin sighed again, "You are a mortal now, what should you do if you leave? Living in the world requires eating, drinking, and wearing gold and silver." There are no more towns around here except Weicheng...... It's spring, and it's cold at night, where are you staying, what do you live on? You don't want to rebuild...... Just go to Weicheng. The pheasant got some over there—"

The red lady suddenly raised her hand to straighten his collar, and took a step back to look at him seriously: "I don't want to go to Weicheng either." It's not good there either. I can read and write, and I can play the piano and write poetry. I can go and teach. Further back...... I can get married. ”

"Marry?" Li Yunxin laughed, and then stopped laughing, "Who are you marrying." ”

"It's hard to find anyone better than you in the world. But there should always be a way to go. The red lady stepped forward again, "I know that your newly shaped body should be immortal...... I can look slowly, and I will always find the right one. ”

The peach forest suddenly changed.

The branches withered in an instant, as if they had been baptized by a long time. Soon it turned into ashes, and when it was blown by the night wind, it swirled, like a black fog that covered the sky.

The red lady didn't stop, but she was blinded. And he lifted up his hand and wiped it.

Li Yunxin narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, and the black smoke disappeared without a trace. He followed, staring sideways at her, "If you think you can call me this way—call me—"

"In the past, it was the obsession of ghost cultivation, and it caused you a lot of trouble. The red lady whispered, "I already know." ”

She took three or four more steps: "And Bai Yunxin." When I was at sea, I told her I didn't have long to live. When I die, I have her with you. I don't want to break my word. ”

"It's my business!" Li Yunxin was furious, "You said yes, is this kind of agreement valid without my knowledge!? Invalid contract! And you have this body from me! You want to marry?! This body is from me!"

The red lady stopped and closed her eyes and raised her head: "If you want to take it, take it back." I don't want to be a puppet. I don't want to live like I dreamed like I used to. ”

Li Yunxin immediately raised his hand. But he took a few deep breaths and put it down: "The things that Lao Tzu sent out never come back." ”

The red lady sighed lightly and opened her eyes: "Then let me go." ”

With that, she took another step.

Li Yunxin stood in place and watched her walk six or seven steps, suddenly snorted and followed. But he didn't use supernatural powers, he just walked like a mortal.

The two walked side by side for a while before the red lady turned her face to look at him. was about to speak, Li Yunxin sneered: "The road is not your home's." I'm happy to walk and play. ”

In fact, there is no road.

After the burning of Weicheng, the fire spread to the vicinity, burning the surrounding area into a wasteland. A few days ago, Li Yunxin asked for a spring return to the earth within a radius of hundreds of miles, and fine grass grew around it. The two walked on the fine grass, and Xiaoweicheng was hidden in the darkness. As far as the eye can see, I don't know where it is, but I can only see a shadow on the horizon in the distance.

It was a place that was untouched by the flames, and it still retained its former appearance. The red lady is walking in that direction.

Li Yunxin hadn't been in a hurry like this for a long time. It's early spring in the area, but it's still very cold at night. After walking for a while, he saw the faint light reflected by the remnant snow in the distance, and he knew that he was almost out of the realm where he had rejuvenated him.

Dongting is already some distance from Weicheng.

As a result, the gentle coolness of the night breeze gradually turns into a steep chill. He frowned. The dull greenery in the night spreads into the distance—and the trees and bamboos that were originally withered and yellow in the distance are also revitalized.

The two were silent. If someone sees it, they will think that it is the children of the rivers and lakes who are in a hurry to travel at night. There was only the rustle of the grass underfoot, the sound of some night wind passing through the forest in the distance.

In this way, the eastern sky brightened slightly.

It's been almost two hours.

The Red Lady finally stopped. A trail gradually developed here, and the bamboo forest in the distance and the woods in the distance were supposed to be part of the former wild plain forest. Then this road should also be the road when the people around Weicheng went to the forest.

There are three bluestones next to it, next to the bamboo forest. The stone was smooth, with only a few dead leaves. When I think that in the past, when Weicheng was still that prosperous city, there should be pedestrians who often settled here to rest. After a long time, the boulder became smooth.

She let out a few puffs of mist and slowly sat down on the stone.

Li Yunxin stopped two or three steps away from her, and snorted and laughed: "Now you should know that it is not the time it used to be." ”

"I give you this body, although it is said that you can't eat like mortals, some can be digested, some can't be digested, but you still have to eat. And because I use real materials for your body bones, even if you absorb everything you eat, you still have to use the amount of ordinary people. Otherwise you'll be as hungry as mortals—so hungry that mortals will go to sleep when they should die. ”

"Now you're tired of walking—it's been less than four hours. Do you know how tired people are at this time? It is not uncommon for people from towns and villages to go to the big cities and walk for two or three days. You have to chop wood and make a fire to wash and wash yourself, there are so many little things that will make you crazy!"

"Ask you again—"

The red lady finally spoke again: "I used to live in Weicheng for a while. I know. ”

Li Yunxin frowned and took a deep breath: "It's strange that you know! Do you think that the danger of mortals is only to eat and drink!?

"Mortals will stink if they don't take a bath! Now in this sanitary condition, how many people do you expect to take a bath once a day!? They still have to and pee! Scrape with bamboo chips—that's all rich and noble!"

"You're going to sleep with a ...... like that," he said, taking a breath and gritting his teeth, "together!?"

"Okay—I'll leave now! If I say one more word to you, I'll not have my last name—"

The red lady looked at him and got angry. When he said this, he suddenly smiled: "Then you can build me a room here." ”

Li Yunxin was stunned: "Huh?"

"I want a bamboo house. ”

He blinked and immediately said, "...... How big is it going to be?"

The red lady tilted her head to look at the bamboo forest behind her, and thought again: "There should be grass in front of the house." There are these three stones, and there are bamboo hedges. There should be a verandah in front of the house. Inside the house...... It should be as big as the main hall of Ziwei Palace. There is a small stream in the house...... There are beautiful pebbles in the water. It has to flow into the cave. ”

Li Yunxin coughed. Rubbing his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." A wave of your hand - are you hungry?"

The red lady smiled and whispered, "I want you to make it." Don't be supernatural. ”
