Chapter 34: The Blossoming of the Hundred Days (6)
There is no absolute balance in the world, all balances are opposite, when the external force applied is strong enough, all seemingly stable balances will collapse instantly, not to mention that the balance of Aoba City is essentially so fragile, so fragile that it doesn't require much external force, just a light poke, it can be broken!
......
......
Recently, Ye Xiu has been waking up for longer and longer, and he only needs four hours of sleep a day, which is not much different from ordinary people, and the sallow color on his face is getting less and less!
It seemed that all the symptoms were telling Ye Fan that his master was already cured! But Ye Fan, who had been by Ye Xiu's side for more than three months, knew that his master had reached the point of running out of oil and drying up, and all the appearances were just a return to the light.
In September, the weather in the mountains was already a little cool, the day the ice orchid bloomed was a rare sunny and good weather, Ye Fan hugged Ye Xiu, and the little sister Ye Lan'er stood aside obediently, under the rising sun, the three of them silently admired the ice orchid that bloomed for the first time.
The crystal-like petals slowly stretched out, and the lilac stamens inside were exposed to everyone's eyes little by little, and the faint fragrance spread throughout the courtyard with the morning breeze.
With the morning breeze dancing, the crystal clear petals trembled slightly, and the lilac seeds flew in and out of the sea of flowers, like a purple elf dancing in the sea of flowers, and the elf danced freely until it met another elf seeking a dance partner, and then took root and sprouted, and grew into a new orchid in the following year.
The ice orchid blooms, only for a moment. All its beauty blooms in this moment, and then silently moves into the next cycle.
From the early morning when the flowers bloomed to the fragrance of the courtyard dissipated, the three of them stood silently, letting the sun rise to set, and no one spoke.
A drop of water accidentally fell on the ground, but it was a tear that accidentally flowed from the corner of Ye Lan'er's eye.
"The girl doesn't cry! The master didn't leave us, he just went to another world and watched us there!" From Ye Fan's point of view, Ye Xiu was still smiling at the sea of flowers that had withered in front of him, but the arm that Ye Fan was holding had slowly cooled down.
"Senior brother, will you also leave Lan'er?" The little girl's eyes were red, and the cold tears were like pearls that had been stripped off, constantly falling to the ground, only her mouth was tightly pursed, without making the slightest sound.
"No, Senior Brother will always be by Lan'er's side, forever!"
"Senior brother, let's get married! That way, you will never leave Lan'er!" I don't know when Ye Lan'er has become mature, and she is no longer as easy to coax as before!
Ye Fan was slightly silent, a little speechless, he didn't know what to say, and finally he could only turn into a sentence: "Okay, senior brother promises you!
"Well, when Lan'er grows up, I'll marry my senior brother!" Although the voice was still cold, it was more vibrant than before.
When the sun had completely set, Ye Fan easily took the master's arm and sent him back to the bed in the bedroom.
After changing clothes, purifying himself, and incense, Ye Fan glanced at the still smiling master nostalgically, gently closed his eyes for him, and walked out of the wing room with the little junior sister.
"Lan'er, come down the mountain with me!" Ye Fan held a torch in one hand and held the little junior sister in the other.
"Senior brother, I want to take another look at the master!" Whether she is mature or not, Ye Lan'er is only a twelve-year-old girl in the flower season, and in the face of life's farewell, she can't be as calm as Ye Fan after all.
"Well, you go in and have a look, senior brother won't go in!" Ye Fan let go of the left hand holding the little girl and let her into the master's room.
The little junior sister went for half an hour, until the night sky was full of stars, and then she walked out of the wing room and came to Ye Fan's side, her white little face was dirty, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts, but her spirit was much better.
"Senior brother, let's go down the mountain!"
"Good!"
After Ye Fan took Ye Lan'er's right hand, he threw the torch he held in his hand into the wing, the torch fell to the ground, and the kerosene that had been sprinkled long ago exploded into a spark, and the whole room was instantly swallowed in the sea of fire.
"Let's go!"
The two stared at the sea of fire for a moment, and Ye Fan took the little junior sister's hand down the mountain.
Behind the two of them, the flames grew bigger and bigger, engulfing the entire Qingxu Temple, and finally turned into a flying fire dragon, roaring and wandering on the mountainside of Mt. Aoba, dyeing the entire sky into a world of flames.
"Senior brother, where are we going?" On the way down the mountain, Ye Lan'er timidly asked her senior brother, her understanding of the outside world came from the description of the master and the senior brother, this was the first time she went down the mountain, but she didn't expect it to be in this way.
"Evil Hall, but now it's still called White Tiger Hall!" Ye Fan wanted to show a smile to his little junior sister and soothe her heart. But he found that he couldn't do it at all, even if it was just a disguise, he couldn't do it!
At the moment when the sea of fire ignited, Ye Fan found that there was also a flame burning in the bottom of his heart, and that hot feeling made him have an urge to kill people, and only human blood could extinguish the anger and hatred in his heart.
"White Tiger Hall, I know White Tiger Hall, isn't it that fat uncle's?" Ye Lan'er asked curiously.
Ye Fan frowned slightly, "Don't call that person uncle, he is our minion! And you have to remember that the White Tiger Hall is the senior brother's, and the master's is also yours, but not his!"
"Well, Lan'er remembered!" Ye Fan's tone was a little heavy, which made Ye Lan'er a little scared.
Seeing the fleeting fear in Lan'er's eyes, Ye Fan's heart throbbed slightly, the hand holding the little girl was slightly forced, stopped, and said seriously to Ye Lan'er: "You have to remember that except for the master and senior brother in this world, everyone can't fully believe it, you must remember that it's everyone!"
Looking at the senior brother's face, the little girl became more and more afraid, resisted the urge to pull out her right hand and run away, and whispered: "Lan'er remember, senior brother, don't be angry with Lan'er!"
Ye Fan nodded, and continued to walk down the mountain with the little girl, maybe she couldn't understand the meaning of her words now, but when she was older, she would understand.
The fire on Mt. Aoba burned for a whole night, and when the flames were extinguished the next day, the entire Qingxu Temple had disappeared, leaving only a thick layer of ash on the ground. Except for the two cracked stone lions in front of the Taoist temple gate, there is no trace that can prove that a Taoist temple once existed here.
