Under the peach tree, the white-headed but still extremely beautiful woman sat cross-legged.

In front of her, a young man with a sword squatted at a low table and was making tea at ease.

It is said to be tea, but it is just a few peach blossoms falling under the peach tree.

But when it boils, the mouth is still sweet.

Putting down the teacup, Luo Xuanji looked at the young man who was concentrating on fiddling with the tea set at this moment, and smiled kindly: "Little Man'er, the way you look when you focus on one thing is really like your mother." ”

Jiang Xiaoman raised his head and chuckled: "But my mother often says that I am such a lazy and disobedient child, and I am not like her at all." ”

Luo Xuanji was noncommittal, the corners of her mouth hooked up a curvature, and said: "Mei'er really said that?, Xiaoman'er, I can tell you, when I was in Qingqiu, so many children of the same age were the skinniest of your mother's relatives, and even boys who were much older than her were beaten and cried by her." Moreover, Mei'er was lazy and greedy when she was a child and refused to practice hard, but she was beaten by your grandmother. If you say that you are lazy and disobedient, you are really not as good as your mother when you were a child. ”

"Aunt Luo, drink tea. ”

Jiang Xiaoman picked up the teapot and filled the teacup for Luo Xuanji.

He lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the slightest smile.

It turned out that his mother had such a past when she was a child.

Sighing for no reason, Luo Xuanji said softly: "I didn't expect that such a big change would happen in the Kingdom of Ruins later. When the Wood Demon Clan was strong in the past, there were several peerless Demon Kings and Demon Emperors in charge, how could it have fallen in the hands of the predecessors of the Liu Emperor? Mei'er Na Nizi must have suffered a lot......

As she spoke, she suddenly realized that it was really inappropriate to talk about his grandfather like this in front of the young man, and hurriedly laughed: "Don't mind, little man, I'm not saying that Liu Huang's predecessors are not strong." On the contrary, at the beginning, the five demon kingdoms including the ruins, Liu Huang's predecessors had the praise of Liu Invincible. ”

"My mother is very good in Suzaku City, and she laughs every day. Jiang Xiaoman picked up the tea cup in front of the table, and put the two peach blossoms into his mouth with the tea to chew, and said a little vaguely.

Luo Xuanji was stunned, then nodded vigorously and smiled: "Mei'er Na Nizi, she has had a good life since she was a child." When I was in Qingqiu Country, the 'Great Priest' of my Tianhu clan once divined the marriage for your mother, saying that when she grew up, she would inevitably marry a wishful husband, who could collect thousands of favors. Now it seems that the proverbs of the Great Priest at the beginning were really barbaric. ”

Swallowing the tea along with the peach blossoms, Jiang Xiaoman was a little curious: "Is it an official position?"

Luo Xuanji said with a smile: "The Great Si Ming is not an official position, she is the closest existence to an immortal in our Heavenly Fox Clan." When you go to Qingqiu one day and see her, you will know how powerful she really is. ”

Jiang Xiaoman said softly: "Close to the immortal?"

Luo Xuanji smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, close to the immortal, or rather, the senior of the Great Priest, she was an immortal herself." It is also the biggest foundation of my Sky Fox clan. Three thousand eight hundred years ago, the Shang Dynasty of the Eastern Regions had a peerless demon queen, and the Holy Emperor Xin of the Eastern Regions, the husband and wife worked together to experience forty-nine thunder tribulations, and then soared to immortals. She is the sister of the predecessor of the Great Commander, and she was also the Young Master of my Sky Fox clan. At the beginning, your mother was about to become the new young master, although for some reason she didn't really become a young master, but Mei'er still inherited the mantle left by the young master. ”

Luo Xuanji told the boy the biggest secret in the clan, which also meant that he had absolute trust in Jiang Xiaoman.

Jiang Xiaoman was stunned, and only after a long time did he mutter, "My mother?"

The peerless demon queen who once amazed a great world.

The peerless woman who once made the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Regions say that she would rather lose the world and live up to her beauty.

The boy naturally knows.

In other words, there are very few people in Kyushu who don't know.

It's just that he can't figure it out.

How could his own mother be the heir to the mantle of the peerless demon queen......

Luo Xuanji smiled but did not speak.

Jiang Xiaoman wanted to ask again, but she stopped at the point and didn't say anything deeply.

There are some things that I can't tell the teenager yet.

There are some things that Xiao Man'er can not know now.

Knowing it will only add to the annoyance, but it will not be good.

Jiang Xiaoman pursed his lips and stared at Luo Xuanji with some resentment at the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Even if my heart is like being scratched by a cat at the moment, there is no way to do it.

Luo Xuanji shook her head and chuckled, "It's still a kid after all......"

She was smiling on her lips, but her heart was inevitably a little heavy.

It's just such a child, who just entered this river and lake, has to carry a burden that is too heavy for his age.

Zhu Immortal Sword Master, when he held that sword.

It means that you are either invincible.

Or, the enemy of the whole world.

But who in this world can really be invincible.

Often in the end, it will only be the enemy of the world.

Although this burden was forced on him by himself.

But Luo Xuanji is still distressed.

She raised her hand and touched the young man's forehead, and whispered, "Little Man'er, no matter what time it is, you must remember not to let your smile disappear." ”

Jiang Xiaoman nodded, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said, "Okay, just listen to Aunt Luo." I'm not going to let it go away, no matter what. ”

Luo Xuanji retracted her hand and let out a soft "um".

She looked at Jiang Xiaoman.

Suddenly, I felt such rivers and lakes, such a world.

To have such a smile may really change something.

Perhaps, even Xiao Man'er himself didn't notice it.

There are two extremes hidden in him.

Like the sun and the moon.

When it is brilliant, it is as bright as the city at night, illuminating all dark corners.

But when the sword was said to kill, it was as cold as Shura who walked out of the Nine Shadows.

Jiang Xiaoman, who was holding the Zhuxian Sword, was hiding behind him a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Obviously, the eyebrows and eyes have not faded away from the youthfulness and immaturity, but there is already forbearance and tenacity hidden deep in the depths of the eyes.

Luo Xuanji didn't know how to describe this feeling.

But she knew that when such two extremes appeared in the same person.

In the world, only a very special and extremely strong physique can be possessed.

Pure Heart.

Luo Xuanji didn't speak again, just raised her hand and waved.

In the blink of an eye, night turns into day.

She looked at the young man and smiled gently, and said, "You should go back." ”

Jiang Xiaoman said softly: "Okay, auntie, you also have to take care of your body." ”

Luo Xuanji stepped out and appeared in front of the young man.

She reached out and pinched Jiang Xiaoman's shoulder, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and flew into the clouds with the young man.

Jiang Xiaoman looked up, only to find that next to the dazzling sun, there was a huge bronze door, similar to the door when he entered the 'Ice Hell'.

Luo Xuanji stepped on a white auspicious cloud, as if walking on the ground.

She looked at the young man beside her, and her expression was heartfelt and kind.

She looked at Jiang Xiaoman in a daze, and smiled lightly, with relief in her eyes.

Immediately, with a push of his hand, Jiang Xiaoman was pushed in front of the bronze door.

Jiang Xiaoman's hand was on top of the bronze door, and there was reluctance in his eyes.

Luo Xuanji waved her hand at him and said with a smile: "Little Man'er, don't forget, when you go to Beiliang City, you will definitely enter that sword shrine to retrieve the other half of the inheritance of the Zhuxian Sword!"

The bronze door slowly opened, and the boy stepped into it.

Jiang Xiaoman stopped, turned around and made a grimace at the woman above the clouds behind him, and said with a smile: "Aunt Luo, don't worry, even if there is no Zhuxian Sword, I will go to the sword mound in Beiliang City." ”

The white-haired woman didn't speak again, just nodded vigorously.

She stood in the clouds, letting the harsh sunlight shine on her.

Until, the bronze gate disappeared.

One step later, when I reappeared, I was already under the old peach tree that was half pink and half purple.

The white-headed woman raised her head and carefully counted the peach blossoms on the tree.

After a long time, it was not until the jade cicada lowered the treetops again that she sighed and muttered, "There are only two thousand eight hundred left......

......

......

Suzaku City, the Flame Overseer's Palace.

At this time, it is dusk.

Jiang Yao sat sideways in front of the window, holding a page of stationery in his hand.

He stared a little distracted at the cyan lotus leaves in the pond outside the window.

In the autumn dusk, the golden pond is especially beautiful under the residual sun.

His brows furrowed together, hiding a different emotion.

It's not sadness, but it's not joy.

On the edge of the window, a fine porcelain vase is placed.

In the bottle, there is a wine that can forget the most worries.

At the moment, his interest in drinking is not too high.

The eyes that had been through the battlefield but were still clear, just stared out of the window.

I didn't deliberately look at anything.

He just felt that looking out of the window like this would make his heart feel less dull.

He let out a long sigh, then spread out the page in his hand and read it carefully.

I can't help but sigh at my son's cleverness, and I am afraid that only I can understand this letter.

'The fox robe is exchanged for wine, a dance, fireworks and trees are as bright as day. ’

'There is a girl in the Xiao family who has just grown up, with long hair and waist, and a face like a peach blossom. ’

The rice paper soaked in ink Ze, but only a few sentences, but it can make him clear at a glance.

Jiang Yao read it lightly, lifted the wine jug with his hand, drank it in a big gulp, and whispered to himself: "Shu'er, Xiao Shu'er......"

Looking at a pool of lotus flowers, memories, sorrow, sorrow, and all kinds of feelings floated to my heart one by one, and I unconsciously shed tears.

Behind her, Lin Mei, dressed in green clothes, stood in front of the door.

She didn't go inside, she just looked at her husband so quietly.

The hands behind his back clutched the same letter.

Even Jiang Xiaoman didn't expect that the letter that was supposed to fall into the hands of his mother a few days later than his father's letter arrived in Lin Mei's hands almost at the same time because of the post commander who was also from the border army.

Lin Mei stood in front of the door for a long time, and finally knocked lightly on the door frame.

Jiang Yao hurriedly raised his hand and wiped his eyes indiscriminately, turned around, looked at his wife, and chuckled, "Why are you here?"

"Xiao Man'er has sent a letter, I want to read it with my husband. Lin Mei raised her willow eyebrows lightly, and handed the letter in her hand to Jiang Yao, a little playful: "The wind is really strong this evening, and even the general's eyes are blowing red." ”

One sentence made Jiang Yao panic, and he hurriedly wanted to hide the rice paper in his hand behind his back, but Lin Meiyan quickly snatched it away.

"What are you hiding? I'll see!"

"I didn't ...... Nothing!"

"Then please explain to me, what is this?" Lin Mei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the two letters with the same ink in her hand shook.

She stared at Jiang Yao with her eyebrows upside down, and her voice was very soft.

"You...... You know all about it?"

Jiang Yao lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Fool ......" did not have the imaginary storm, Lin Mei just gently leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and smiled lightly.

Raising his head in astonishment, Jiang Yao hugged his wife's shoulders and asked cautiously, "Mei'er, are you really not angry?"

Lin Mei raised her head, gently grabbed Jiang Yao's neck, and said softly: "Xiao Man'er told me in the letter that there is a woman who is willing to wait for my husband for the rest of her life, which can only show that I have a good vision, so why should I be angry?"

"It's good not to be angry, it's good not to be angry. ”

Jiang Yao touched his nose in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.

Lin Mei, who had recovered her memory and cultivation, added a charming flavor to her eyebrows as soon as she raised her hand.

She put her head on her husband's chest and said softly, "Can you tell me about the woman named Xiao Shu'er." ”
