That year, Hua Lie's scandal in Heaven was particularly fierce, and several jealous fairies fought the battle to the Queen Mother, and even the blind man could see that he was a demon. Chongli didn't want things to develop to the point where they couldn't end, and it seemed that the Yellow Calendar had reached the sacrifice day of Master Hua Lie's sudden thunder, so he used this excuse to send him to the mortal wind and thunder knife valley to guard the spirit, to avoid the limelight.

Hua Lie rarely went down to play once, anyway, it was a paid leave specially approved by the eldest princess, and if she didn't play in vain, she wouldn't play! However, the Wind Thunder Knife Valley is located in the north of the desert, and in addition to the wind and sand all day long, it is very difficult to endure it after barely holding on for a few days. But Chongli gave a death order, and he was not allowed to return to heaven until he stayed for a year.

So Hua Lie had to wander around that desolate remote town until he met a human woman. What turns out to be an extremely monotonous and boring place can also become lively and interesting because of one person.

"To tell the truth, she looks very ordinary, not outstanding at all, far worse than the fairies in the sky. ”

Recalling the dusty past, Hua Lie's expression looked a little sad: "I haven't figured it out all the time, how did I get her by the ghost at that time." However, she did have something special that attracted me at that time, such as long legs, hips, and breasts that were not very big, but they were in good shape and felt very good......

"Ahem. ”

Yi Lanjun interrupted him with black lines on his head: "Let's get to the point." ”

"Well, after that, a night of romance, you know. ”

Hua Lie raised her eyebrows, and then said, "When I got up in the morning, I found that she actually cooked a bowl of noodles. This woman is simply horrible. ”

"Poisoned?"

Yi Lanjun didn't understand what he was talking about, and interjected expressionlessly.

"Not really. ”

Hua Lie narrowed his eyes and slurred for a while, and said: "I have slept with many women, all kinds of women, some crying, some stalking, some lifting pants and not admitting it, but no one has ever cooked noodles for me to eat." ”

"So you're in love with her. ”

Hua Lie shrugged helplessly and shook his head: "Her trick is too ruthless." ”

Yi Lanjun snorted coldly and did not comment on this person's logic.

"She never asked me for anything, not even for me to marry her. ”

"When I went to her, she cooked for me, and when I didn't show up, she cleaned up the house and waited for me to come back, without even complaining—I suddenly felt the urge to spend the rest of my life with her." ”

"However, this is not allowed, after all, he is a mortal. Yi Lanjun asked with a frown.

"Of course. ”

Hua Lie sighed: "A person's life is very short. My vacation is over, and I have to go back to Heaven. Before leaving, I arranged everything for her and told her that I probably wouldn't come again. She cried so hard that for the first time she begged me to stay. ”

There was a hint of sadness on that cynical face. Hua Lie frowned, as if touching the sad place, paused slightly, and then slowly said:

"I thought that when I returned to Heaven and changed the environment, I would slowly forget about her. After all, her appearance is far from that of the Heavenly Maiden, and she feels very embarrassed to bring it out. ”

Although his mouth has been derogating her, his eyes are flashing with sweet and sad love, and he was caught off guard by showing his affection - this man is simply hopeless.

"If you show affection, the meaning is almost right. ”

Yi Lanjun couldn't help but interrupt him: "So you went to look for her later?"

"I can't help it, I'm stuck in it, and my mind is full of her. ”

Hua Lie spread his hands: "So I went to her after I finished dealing with the matter at hand." I went every few days, and then I couldn't wait to run back and forth every day. In the end, I decided to submit my resignation to the Emperor of Heaven and go to the mortal world to be a scattered immortal, and not toss. ”

Yi Lanjun was secretly shocked in his heart, although he usually felt that this person had always been very casual, if he was emotional, what kind of identity and status would be thrown away! This kind of freedom is really admirable.

"Is the Emperor really willing to let you go?"

The resignation of the commander of the forbidden army is probably not so easy.

"How is that possible?!"

Hua Lie smiled bitterly: "The folds that submitted several resignations in succession were all rejected, and the last time the Emperor of Heaven slapped me in the face, saying that the tablets of Valhalla had been prepared for me, and I could only die in office, and there was no such thing as stepping down halfway." Later, I had to go to Chongli and ask her to intercede on my behalf, which was reluctantly approved. ”

"So, didn't you tell her why?"

Hua Lie laughed again: "Am I crazy? Tell her the truth, just your lady's little temper, if you don't beat me to death on the spot, then it's a hell." ”

You're really using your rope to die, boy.

"However, the resignation procedures of Heavenly Court are complicated, especially my special position, and it took ten days for all kinds of handovers alone. In principle, the Emperor still does not agree with me leaving, so he only says that I am on indefinite leave. After all kinds of notices and letters were sent, I took off my clothes, and when I finally returned to the Valley of the Wind and Thunder Knife in freedom, a full twelve years had passed. ”

Hua Lie's expression darkened again: "In the whole twelve years of the mortal world, the entire town has been razed to the ground by yellow sand, and there is nothing left. ”

Yi Lanjun was stunned.

Hua Lie's gaze fell on the fan in his hand, and he gently stroked the vacant position with one hand, as if he was caught in that memory again.

The valley of wind and thunder, the yellow sand is full of sky.

Every time I sneak out of the heavenly palace to find her, I always encounter bad weather, like being cursed. The yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, blowing all over people's eyes and ears, Hua Lie cursed secretly in his heart, and slammed the door in the dim with the strong wind.

After a while, the heavy wooden door had just opened, and Hua Lie squeezed in, turned around and inserted the latch. It was evening, and the room was lit up, and the dim light was warm.

Hua Lie tore off his coat and slammed it, shaking out the sand from the hood and the folds of his clothes.

She was startled at first, but when she saw that it was him, she immediately went to get a towel and threw it in the water to help him wipe his face.

"Wherever you come back, you have to eat two catties of sand! What is there to live in this hellish place, it's better to move as soon as possible!" Hua Lie simply took off his shoes and socks, and it was full of yellow sand.

"Hmm. ”

She just nodded obediently to his complaints. But her parents and brothers are buried here, and she doesn't want to go anywhere.

"You sit down for a while. ”

She slipped the towel into his hand, rolled up her sleeves, and turned into the stove.

Hua Lie said "um", washed his face, and sat down at the table. He rested his cheek in one hand and squinted at her back. With shaved shoulders, a thin waist, and a fair complexion, although she was dressed as a village woman dressed in coarse cloth, she had a unique virtuous temperament that particularly attracted his attention. There was the fan bone he gave her in her hair, the murder weapon that killed people in the past, but I didn't expect it to be good as a hairpin now.

He couldn't help but imagine the difficulties she would encounter when she lived alone, although he rarely heard her mention it. Hua Lie asked:

"Do you still have rice and noodles at home?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there enough firewood for the winter?"

"Enough. ”

"Which window did you say was leaking last time?"

"It was fixed yesterday. ”

As she spoke, she put a steaming bowl of cut noodles in front of him, and handed him the chopsticks: "You said earlier that if you encounter difficulties, you can go to the mountain temple in Mingsha Mountain to find someone to help, so I went, but I didn't see anyone." But when I came back, I found that someone had already repaired it, and I didn't know who it was. ”

"That's good. ”

Hua Lie smiled, and said in his heart that the little mountain god was quite reliable, and he would need to thank him when he saw him another day.

She never said much, and sat quietly beside him watching him eat noodles. Compared to those noisy little fairies, this is simply a great advantage. Even if she hadn't seen her for months, she wouldn't go on and on.

Today, however, it seems to be a bit of an exception. She carefully observed his expression, hesitated again and again before muttering, "...... We want a baby, right?"

Hua Lie almost squirted out of his nostrils with a mouthful of noodles, and then coughed violently.

She was startled, and hurriedly poured a bowl of tea and handed it to him.

Hua Lie coughed for a long time, his face was flushed, and he looked embarrassed.

A mortal woman lives a life, isn't it just firewood, rice, oil and salt, there is a man in the family, and there is a doll under her knees. It's just that for Hua Lie, although there are no taboos in engaging women, it is basic professional ethics not to cause trouble.

She looked very cramped, lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him: "...... If you think it's wrong, just don't say it. ”

Hua Lie couldn't hold back his cough, reluctantly took a sip of tea and pressed it, waved his hand and said, "No, I just haven't thought about it yet." ”

She glanced at him quickly, "Do you have a lady at home?"

"Nope. ”

"Is that a marriage contract with someone else?"

"No, there isn't. ”

She frowned, and with her life experience, she couldn't imagine what strange reason a man would have to refuse.

Hua Lie smiled:

"I'm just a man who eats imperial food and gets paid for soldiers, and I live a precarious life, I'm afraid of affecting you. ”

She bit her lip and lowered her head to avoid speaking.

"If one day the horse leather shroud, how can you live as an orphan and widow? It's not good to marry again with a drag oil bottle......

Unexpectedly, she suddenly stepped forward to gag him, and then threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said in a small but clear voice: "If you live, I will live, and if you die, I will die with you." ”

My heart was inexplicably moved.

It suddenly occurred to me that this joke might be a bit big, but it was time to promise her a future.

"And then?"

Yi Lanjun waited for a long time and didn't see anything else, so he asked.

Hua Lie suddenly came back to his senses

"Later, I searched every corner of the Northern Desert, but she seemed to have disappeared, and I couldn't find her. But I knew she must not be dead, because the fan bone was no longer there. ”

As he spoke, he took out the broken sword from his sleeve, held it on the fan surface, faded the illusion on its body, and revealed the original shape of half of the fan bone: "The Qingyun Rolling Snow Fan is from the hand of Chongli, and it is made of Kunlun Xuantie, and the fifteen fan bones attract each other and resonate, I know that it is nearby." It's just that, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know what it will be like when we meet again. ”

Yi Lanjun couldn't help but be a little worried.

The lifespan of a mortal is only a hundred years at most, and she must be no longer alive now. It takes so much, but in the end it is only in exchange for nothing, which makes people dare not think about it:

“...... But what's the point?"

"I don't know. ”

Hua Lie shook her head, "But I can't think of anything else I can do other than continue to look for her." ”

"Even if you find it, what can you do?"

A soft, cold voice came from the entrance of the cave, and both of them were shocked when they heard it.

I saw Bai Ningxue standing at the entrance of the cave, her eyes cold, and she was holding the other half of the fan bone in her hand.
