Chapter 60: Autumn Moon Shadow
The cool breeze in September blows, and the towering Kunlun Palace is even more bleak and cold.
Zi Ning didn't know how many hours and months she had been asleep, and when she woke up by chance, there was also a chaotic scene in front of her. The white figure, the strong medicinal gas, the sound could not be heard, and there was no color.
She seemed to be lying in a floating pile of catkins all the time, and the sky was full of broken gray shadows, floating in her mind in clumps. Overlapping and disorderly memories filled her heart, from 100,000 years ago to 100,000 years later, Moon Hades, Witch Spirit King, and Liang Ziye.
Yue Hengtang, his brain suddenly stirred. The figure of the girl in white appeared, Jing Xiao raised her hand and pointed at her, her face full of anger, "If the Xuannu has no inheritance, you only have eighty years of life." Do you want Hengtang to wait for you for another 100,000 years, dream!"
Zi Ning's mind was in a trance, as if she was wandering in an empty space where no one was around, her steps staggered, and there was nothingness everywhere, which gave rise to a deep panic in her heart.
Eighty years? Only eighty years?
How many days are there in eighty years? She calculated in a panic that twenty-nine thousand two hundred days, day and night, all that's all. If you take out the time you go to bed, you'll have 20,000 days left. Even if you see him every day, be with him, and be inseparable, it is just a drop in the ocean.
If Brother Tang is asked to wait for me for 100,000 years, he must be very lonely, right?
Zi Ning's long eyelashes trembled slightly, "No, I can't make him lonely, I can't make him sad, I will definitely figure out a way." In the dream, I thought and thought, but I was very tired, so I fell into a deep sleep, and lay down in a warm and safe place, my eyes closed, and I did not want to wake up.
One day, there was a sound of chirping in my ears, and I heard a low and magnetic soft voice, "Zining, today is the autumnal equinox......
The autumnal equinox, as if it was her birthday.
Half-asleep and half-awake, her mind came to the chaotic fairy realm when she first came, and on that spring day in the country of the dove, the air was slightly cold, and outside the hall was a white and slightly translucent apricot blossom.
From spring to autumn, he is full of memories.
Apricot one, fortunately.
Zining's spiritual platform lit up, his mind came to his senses, and his eyes slowly opened, meeting a pair of eyes as black as stars. The embrace of Yuehengtang is as warm as spring, revealing a fragrance of jade sandalwood, which is still the taste of the first sight.
"I ...... How lucky, thousands of times to meet the moon Hengtang. There was not a trace of blood on her face, her lips were cracked, and her voice was weak.
Yue Hengtang smiled like a spring breeze, and said quietly: "I was lucky enough to meet Zining." Holding her delicate body tightly into his arms, his voice trembled slightly, "From now on, I will live up to the immortal path and live up to the Qing." ”
Kunlun Emperor Jue only chooses the only one, there are many princesses and goddesses in the Immortal Dao Realm, but there is only one Zining. After a while, he leaned low into her ear and whispered softly: "My arms will always belong to you alone." ”
Zi Ning's eyes were hot, her fingers trembled, and she suddenly realized in her heart: "It turns out that I crossed time and space to come to the Immortal Dao Realm just to find you-"
When she first saw that piece of apricot blossom, she was lucky. The flowery years, entrusted to the people you love, will not bloom alone, live up to the east wind of the night, and live up to the prosperity of a tree.
"Autumn equinox ......" Zi Ning pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a smile. She was on the move, stumbling, and couldn't have imagined that her first birthday would be so soon.
Although her body was weak, she was already in a good mood, and she turned around from the ghost gate again.
If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future.
The night is slightly cool, lined with the bright moonlight in mid-air, and it looks as clear and peaceful as water. Yue Hengtang hugged Zi Ning tightly, with a hot breath in his palms, trying his best to warm her, lest she catch a cold willfully.
Zi Ning was curious, I didn't know what Yue Hengtang was doing when she left the dormitory to go to the top of Kunlun Peak, she was unprecedentedly gentle and obedient, like an obedient little woman.
After the autumnal equinox, she was a year older. At the age of seventeen, she can be a little woman.
The auspicious clouds under his feet kept rising, climbed to the peak, and flew to the base of a slippery wall. Behind a small pile of firewood, a small half-open bamboo door was found.
The small bamboo gate is hidden, and the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds.
Zi Ning's eyes widened, only to see him raise his hand slightly, push open the bamboo door, and then turn his head and say: "From here, it is the place where I cultivate, the flowers, trees and bamboo forests on the hillside, you must like it." ”
There was a hint of incomprehensible profundity in his eyes, revealing an unusual attachment. Zi Ningdeng's face turned red, and he said shyly: "As long as it's your place, I like it." A scene came to mind, he was practicing at the top of the peak, his white clothes fluttering, his aura curling, and he looked like a jade tree in the wind.
His heart was pounding, his throat was dry and tight, he swallowed hard, and said, "My injury has healed, can I cultivate with you?"
Eighty years, I don't want to waste a day. She had to follow him all the time, stick to him. He reads and writes, she also reads and writes together, he cultivates, and she cultivates together. He slept, and she ...... with him
His face turned even redder, but a sense of sadness rose in his heart, why is it only eighty years, time is really too little.
His heart was in a mess, but he heard Yue Hengtang say softly: "Let's cultivate together and accompany you every day, okay?" He didn't know that she only had eighty years, he wanted to make her happy, there was no pain and sorrow in eighty years, only happiness.
As he spoke, he took Zi Ning's hand closer, moved his broken steps, turned slightly sideways, and went out through the narrow small bamboo door, silently walking through the dark shadow of a field of flowers and trees.
Although the moonlight is bright, the flowers and trees are a dim color, and it is impossible to distinguish the shape of the branches and leaves, and the dense turns are spread all over the eyes. I faintly smelled a cool light aroma, accompanied by a thick mist, as dark as bright.
Zi Ning was infected by this beautiful flower tree, his mood improved a lot, he raised his eyes to look at his face, which was as pure as jade in the moonlight, sighed secretly, and muttered in a low voice: "I have pestered you for 100,000 years, will you feel annoyed?"
Although her voice was soft, she was heard by him, and she turned her eyes to reveal a playful look, and said with a smile: "If you are willing to pester me, I will reluctantly accept it." But you can't leave me for a moment, Zining is a person from Yuehengtang, and it will always belong to me. ”
Zi Ningdeng's face turned red, and he pursed his lips and said, "I found one thing, after you were hit by the thunderstorm, you actually became flamboyant, it turns out that Brother Tang is not an honest person." ”
He smiled slightly in the moonlight, his eyes flashing with crystal, "When did I say that I was an honest person?" Zi Ning, wishful thinking, regarded me as a gentleman, and was willing to go with me to the soup and fire, and never gave up. ”
Memories of a long time ago came to mind, and Xi'er was like this at that time, simple and pure, and accompanied him to the soup and fire. His eyes suddenly became more gentle, in this life, he would not let her suffer again.
Stumbling under his feet, Zi Ning stopped abruptly and raised his eyes to look at him, "Brother Tang, you ...... Do you remember everything?
Her memories and Xi'er are one, and she only feels that he in front of her is both the moon and the moon.
Exactly the same face and gaze, the two figures coincided, only his white robe replaced by a black brocade robe.
Yue Hengtang nodded solemnly, "I remember everything." But I'm the moon hengtang, not the moon and the moon, you have to believe me. ”
"I believe in you. Zi Ning's eyes were full of smiles, and she pulled his arm tight.
As long as she doesn't look for the inheritance of the Xuannu, he will always be Yuehengtang. Immediately pursed his lips and said with a smile: "If you dare to become a moon shadow, I will raise my foot and kick you away!"
The two of them walked through the flower forest that covered the sky and the moon, and a round of the moon suddenly brightened up, illuminating a quiet bamboo house. The turquoise fence is reflected in the moonlight with a soft luster, as if it was born from the ground, and it is randomly skewed and crossed, with a charm that is unique in the world.
Zi Ning broke away from Yue Hengtang's hand, couldn't help but run up and push open the fence bamboo door, rushed to the bamboo house with low eaves and hanging windows in a few steps, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Tang, it really deserves to be the cultivation place of the Kunlun Absolute Emperor, the secluded environment is excellent, and it is even more elegant, I like it here so much!"
Yue Hengtang smiled faintly in his eyes, stepped forward in a hurry, threw out a firework from his sleeve, and lit the two yellow lanterns hanging in front of the eaves.
Zi Ning stared at him for a moment, and his heart was slightly stagnant, if he looked at each other like this, motionless, he would be happy.
He pushed open the door with a "creak", and suddenly the aroma of the elixir poured out. Zi Ning closed her eyes and sniffed deeply, she was used to the smell of medicine these days, and she felt that the fragrance of medicine was not inferior to the fragrance of flowers, it smelled very good.
He lit the oil lamps placed in the four corners of the room, and for a moment the light of the fire illuminated his eyes. Zi Ning sat down at a couch table and looked up curiously.
The beds, tables and chairs in the room are all made of green bamboo, the couch is covered with a cool bamboo mat, a square couch table is placed with black and white chess pieces, and a black lacquered guqin is hung on the bamboo wall facing it.
Yue Hengtang had already sat down upright, put the small gray clay pot on the stove to simmer, and put the pounded medicinal mud in a thick bowl, before raising his eyes and saying: "This is Kunlun's Qi Condensation Pill, if you eat this, you will soon be able to cultivate well." ”
Zi Ning stretched out her tongue, licked her lips, frowned, and said, "Isn't it bitter? ”
Yue Hengtang saw that she was delicate and touching when she licked her lips, and couldn't help but look stunned, then her eyes turned twice, revealing a smile, nodded, raised her hand and pointed to the stewed small clay pot and said: "There is boiled fairy grass tea here, and there is a jar of nectar candy, which can remove the bitter taste." ”
The flames in the furnace flickered and went out, and the dim red candlelight illuminated the two of them, lingering in a thick air. Yue Hengtang filled a bowl of fairy herb tea, held it firmly in his hand, sent it to her, stirred it gently with a small wooden spoon, and scooped a spoonful to feed it to her mouth.
There was an ambiguous warm current in the air, Zi Ning lowered her head slightly, her face turned red, and she took the small wooden spoon into her mouth.
Yue Hengtang's eyes flashed, and a wisp of tenderness like water flowed out, and he smiled: "Feed you a sip of fairy grass tea, what are you biting the spoon for?"
Zi Ning was embarrassed, and hurriedly spit out the wooden spoon, and her face was even redder.
Yue Hengtang fed her another sip and said, "You drink it slowly, don't worry, I don't care about you if you choke." She nodded slightly, and a pair of eyes lifted up to stare at his face, her gaze a little moist.
At some point in the future, she will be separated from him, but I only hope that this moment can be eternal.
The fairy grass tea was slowly boiling on the stove, and the white gas came out around the lid, and the roasted piece was warm, and the cold room gradually became warm. Zi Ning's eyes were smiling, her face was slightly ruddy, and the firelight shone on the deep clothes on her body, outlining a delicate and slender shadow.
She coldly snatched the soup bowl in his hand, smiled and said, "This fairy herb tea tastes very sweet, I will also feed you a bowl." Scoop it with a small wooden spoon and feed him carefully.
Yue Hengtang did not refuse, and drank obediently.
After drinking half of the bowl, he suddenly coughed violently twice, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Zi Ning was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his sleeve to help him wipe the blood from his mouth, and asked urgently, "Brother Tang, what's wrong with you, why do you vomit blood?"
She suddenly understood that Yue Hengtang helped her block the thunder tribulation, and the injury did not heal, and it was more serious than she imagined.
"It's okay, don't worry. Yue Hengtang smiled faintly, "You won't die if you spit out two mouthfuls of blood." ”
Dozens of thunder arcs slashed at him, and the muscles and bones were completely broken. Although he has recovered a lot in the past few months, he has been healing Zi Ning day and night, and his internal injury is very serious.
He couldn't tell her about these things, he just wanted her to be safe and happy, and everything else, it didn't matter.
Raised his hand to caress her emaciated cheek, "Have you forgotten, I am the Kunlun Absolute Emperor, the first god monarch of the immortal clan, this little injury is nothing, it will be fine in a few days." It's you, you're already thin and have no meat, so it's better to eat fat. ”
Zi Ning sat on the bamboo bench beside him, tilted his head to look at it carefully, and couldn't see anything unusual in his expression, so he half-believed and half-questioned: "You are the first god monarch, the world is invincible, right, the injury will definitely be better, right?"
There was a smile in his eyes, "Well, it will be good." ”
The injury will definitely be good, but this thunder tribulation ruined half of his life, and he was quite comforted in his heart, "It doesn't matter, the remaining half of his life is enough to accompany Zi Ning for the rest of his life." ”
Without Zining, what fun would he have if he had survived alone for hundreds of thousands of years?
Yue Hengtang stirred the mashed medicinal mud, and the aroma of the medicine wafted into the house, Zi Ning sniffed deeply, and said with a smile: "Today is my birthday, you give me this bitter thing." This night, I was covered in the smell of medicine. ”
He looked up and saw her hair in a high bun, smiling as she spoke, and a pair of silver-eared pendants trembling, unusually delicate and moving. The deep coat on the body is tightly wrapped around the waist, with narrow shoulders and thin sleeves, a graceful figure, and a white neck exposed at the neckline.
couldn't help but move in his heart, the person he likes is the most beautiful when viewed horizontally and vertically.
"After taking this bowl of medicine, I will give you a good thing. Yue Hengtang's eyes showed warmth, and he smiled: "The best thing in the immortal Dao world, I won't give it to you if I don't take medicine." ”
Zi Ning let out an "oh", his eyes drifted from him to the medicine bowl, turned his heart sideways, and said to himself: "Okay, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'll eat it all!"
Yue Hengtang took a clean wooden spoon, carefully scooped it, and slowly brought it to her mouth.
A spoonful of medicinal mud was stuffed into her mouth, Zi Ning's tongue was numb with bitterness, and she saw him staring at her with a pair of dark eyes, and her eyes were very concerned. Her eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of dampness, and she lowered her head and pursed her lips, and ate a mouthful of bitter medicinal puree.
Yue Hengtang turned his eyes and saw that her eyes were moist, and he asked, "Is it bitter?" He put the medicine bowl on the table, took a jar of nectar, dug a mouthful of rich honey with a wooden spoon, handed it to her mouth, and said with a smile: "Give you honey to eat, so that it will not be too bitter." ”
Zi Ningqiang suppressed her tears and ate all the bowls of medicinal puree.
The medicine was bitter, but there was something more bitter, and she swallowed the last bitter taste, not knowing what it was.
"Gollum" drank a bowl of fairy herb tea, she stroked her chest, panted and sighed: "This bowl is too bitter, similar to the medicine of the twenty-first century." ”
Yue Hengtang raised his eyes and was stunned, Zi Ning suddenly realized that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly covered it up: "I mean, I'...... I used to have two friends in the Fat Dove Country Dining Room, one is called Twenty-One and the other is Shi Ji, they are both boiling medicines, and those medicines are very bitter. ”
Yue Hengtang listened, bowed slightly, looked at her with interest, and smiled: "Your friend's name is very strange. ”
Zi Ning laughed dryly and muttered to herself, "Whose name is Twenty-One, and Shi Ji, I made it up, isn't it strange?"
Seeing his blazing eyes, he hurriedly raised his hand and scratched his forehead, and continued to lie: "That twenty-one, she is twenty-one in the family, there are too many children in the family, and she is too lazy to name it, so she is called twenty-one." Shi Ji, she's ...... Her surname is Shi, and there are a lot of daughters' names, which is better than Shi Yatou, Shi Caihua, and Shi Laidi. ”
In the past, in the big courtyard of the palace gate of the hair dove, there were maidservants named girl, cauliflower, and brother.
Yue Hengtang didn't make a sound, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger.
This girl tells lies, and it turns out to be the real thing, and her little brain is full of strange things.
Zi Ning slapped her head violently, her face twitching. No, whoever gave birth to twenty-one children, this girl's name is not appropriate.
Then he rolled his eyes and said with a grin: "There are more children in the twenty-one family, don't be surprised, she also has a sister named twenty-two......!" Her father married five little wives, each of whom had several children. ”
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and he couldn't help but secretly worry, "If Brother Tang wants to see Twenty-One, where can I find him for him?"
Looking up at him, a handsome face that seemed like a dream flashed in the light, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and there was a slight haggard between his eyebrows, but it did not prevent his eyes from shining in the slightest.
Dengshi's face was crimson, a hot breath surged up in his heart, and his nose was a little itchy.
Suddenly, I heard Yue Hengtang exclaim: "It's not good, you have a nosebleed, is it a serious internal injury? Is it good to boil another pot ......of medicine?"
Zi Ning raised her hand awkwardly and gently wiped her nose with her sleeve, and sure enough, there was a bright red bloodstain, which was really a nosebleed.
