Lost Narrative Poetry

The long dress in palace attire is of picturesque colors. It is clear that she is still the girl in her twenties and eighties in the past. Thousands of years have passed by in a hurry, but they have not been able to leave any traces on her body.

This fairy-like girl is standing on the huge platform square at this moment. Her expression changes little by little, ranging from joy to anger: "Teacher!"

"Mingzhu, long time no see..."

Xia Ran raised her hand and waved gently as a greeting, her expression looked a little weird.

He had already foreseen this scene when the strange application for joining the team suddenly appeared, but when it came true, he still felt a bit like a dream. His cheap disciple actually chased him to the space. ?

After confirming that she had finally found her teacher, Ouyang Mingzhu seemed to want to run over subconsciously, but she took two quick steps and immediately woke up, so she quickly slowed down.

Of course, even if it is relatively slowed down, it is still walking quickly, but relatively speaking, it seems more reserved...

The magician who had just raised his heart was relieved. He had subconsciously broken into a cold sweat just now. After all, he was afraid that his female apprentice would pounce on him like a baby swallow... In that case, it would really be He was at a loss.

How to respond?

It would be too hurtful to avoid it directly like a conditioned reflex... But if you don't avoid it and let the pearl fall into your arms, you will feel that something is not right. This is not your sister, but you. s student.

Without saying anything else, Artoria, with a cold face and indifferent eyes, was watching coldly at this moment.

After all, although he is not the captain, he is at least an important member of the team, so Artoria was naturally notified of such team information when joining the team... She was still a little confused about what was going on. I happened to see this scene when I rushed back.

Frankly speaking, this was originally a good thing. After all, Artoria and Miss Ouyang were considered friends.

But I don't know why, but she is not happy at all now... Of course, Artoria will not be angry with Miss Ouyang because of this, she will just direct all her dissatisfaction towards her master.

Well, and she doesn’t think it’s because she’s being petty, but she thinks it must be because the Master is too out of tune, and he was deliberately irritating her just now... so she’s in a bad mood and has some emotions towards him. Is this possible? Isn't it natural?

"Teacher...I...I..."

At this time, the girl in the palace dress who had come to Xia Ran bit her lower lip tightly and looked at him carefully. She was stunned for a moment before finally speaking. However, as soon as the words came out, she felt a little unable to speak. Went down.

Finally found you...

The lukewarm time in my memory seems to have been covered with a hazy and distorted feeling because it was too long ago...

But there is no doubt that that extremely short time, like a flash in the pan, is a rare and precious memory in Ouyang Mingzhu's life.

She will never forget who tenderly extended a helping hand to her when her parents were killed and she almost fell into the hands of that evil thief... Everything that happened at that time was, for an innocent person, For a romantic girl, it's like the sky has fallen.

It was as if the whole world suddenly lost its light and became dark.

And at that time, the figure of the person who helped her hold up the sky again will naturally be engraved in the girl's memory, heart, and soul forever, and cannot be forgotten no matter what. Although time is ruthless, there are always some things that it cannot erase.

"Ahem, don't get excited, don't get excited..."

Looking at the girl with red eyes and her voice seemed to be choked up, Xia Ran suddenly felt a little scared.

Of course he also knew the reason for this. When a girl is most desperate and her world is sinking into darkness, if someone steps forward to save her from the sea of ​​suffering, then it will naturally leave the deepest good impression.

The routine of a hero saving a beauty is so old-fashioned, but it is just an old-fashioned and never goes out of style, which shows that many people are following this routine.

In particular, Ouyang Mingzhu's experience is even more tragic. As a daughter of a wealthy family and a lady, she was once naive, ignorant of worldly affairs, unaware of the sinister nature of people's hearts, and she was also too kind-hearted.

So when she just went to the temple to offer incense, she felt pity for the down-and-out Southern Xinjiang shaman Li Jiangliu. She couldn't bear to see this stranger, a down-and-out man, meet a tragic end and die an unexpected death, so she took the initiative to lend a helping hand and wanted to save him.

It turned out that Li Jiangliu fell in love with her at first sight, and then he repaid her with a grudge by casting a curse to kill her father, and then Jane killed her mother...

After being bumped into by her, he realized that he had made a big mistake and did not investigate clearly in advance. Li Jiangliu's first reaction was not to find a way to make amends or atone for his sins, but to simply stop and arrest Ouyang Mingzhu's soul. .

Ouyang Mingzhu was really unlucky for eight lifetimes to fall in love with such a crazy person.

This kind of encounter naturally left a very heavy psychological shadow on the girl, and it changed her temperament to a certain extent. She would no longer show kindness to irrelevant people, and she would also naturally treat people she didn’t know or be familiar with. People subconsciously have a certain vigilance and alertness.

Such changes make it difficult for her to open up to others, but in turn, it will make her more trusting and valuing people she is already familiar with, people she has already established feelings for...

And the worst thing is that it seems that the difference in time flow rate has not changed anything. It seems that it has not played any positive role in correcting Miss Ouyang's psychological condition. On the contrary, it has aggravated her condition.

Sure enough, memories can always beautify the people and things in the past infinitely...

Shaking his head, the magician also carefully studied the girl in the palace dress in front of him. It goes without saying how vicious his eyes are, so it was natural to see at a glance Miss Ouyang's current achievements.

Although the girl is dressed in a goose-yellow palace dress and an emerald green skirt, her aura is calm and smooth, she has returned to her original nature and looks just like ordinary people.

But Xia Ran could see that in the void, there was a layer of bright divine rings of uncertain reality, surrounding the back and side of the girl's head, which seemed to be vaguely condensed into the mysteries of "Tao" and "reason", manifesting various phenomena. .

The girl's body was filled with pure light, and her body seemed to be glowing. Every inch of divine will and every inch of spiritual flesh seemed to contain endless changes, absorbing all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, just like the sea accepting hundreds of rivers and harmonizing the five elements.

Moistened by water, everything can penetrate; the flames of fire can burn everything; the thunder can suppress everything; the wind can blow, and everything can be blocked; the nourishment of earth can melt everything...

Mutual creation and mutual destruction, the cycle is endless.

In the ever-changing world, who is not me?

Even in the void around the girl, some light spots of deep disillusionment appeared faintly, sinking and floating.

"You have made it this far, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

Xia Ran was somewhat moved. He subconsciously reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, then gently pressed it on the head of the woman who came to him, and rubbed it gently, showing pity in his eyes. Being able to come all the way to this point was something he didn't expect.

After all, this is the Tao fruit that Miss Ouyang has forged step by step and practiced steadily. There is no way to take advantage of it.

This also shows how hard it has been for Miss Ouyang to live alone in that world all these years... After all, if you practice cultivation, you have to practice it. Just practicing hard behind closed doors is not enough. If there is no pressure to practice, it will be very difficult. It is difficult to verify the results of one's own practice.

Combined with the information revealed by that big eye not long ago, Xia Ran could imagine that this woman who had always been a bit soft and weak in her impression had unknowingly become a big shot in the world of cultivation.

The pinnacle of human immortality, the supreme being on land, a high-ranking female immortal in the eyes of countless monks, a living immortal god.

"No, as long as I don't embarrass you to the teacher..." She quickly calmed down her emotions. It seemed as if Miss Ouyang's recent gaffe was an illusion. She did not resist the teacher's touch on her head at all, but showed her joyfully. Yan smiled.

"If a disciple like you still embarrasses the teacher, then other students in the world should find a piece of tofu and kill them..."

The magician also chuckled and shook his head, put down his hand, and at the same time slightly distanced himself. Because the cool fragrance of the girl came to his face, like a clear water lotus, it was breathtaking. If the distance was too close, it would make him somewhat unnatural.

At the same time, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. No wonder every time he had the idea of ​​enrolling students, he always gave up. It was all because Mingzhu, a good young man, Zhuyu, set his standards too high. .

Ordinary goods are difficult to discern and cannot arouse interest at all.

After expelling the thoughts from his mind, Xia Ran thought of one thing and asked, "By the way, Mingzhu, how did you find my team?"

This was a question he was a little confused about. He didn't have the contact information of many lost people in his address book, and he hadn't thought about expanding the team. He thought it would be fine if he and Artoria were the only ones in the team. , so I didn’t go out to advertise.

Whether it's a team number or an individual number, only a few people in the space know it. So, how did Miss Ouyang accurately identify her team and send out an application to join the team?

Sensing that the teacher had lowered his hand and naturally distanced himself from her, a trace of disappointment flashed deep in Miss Ouyang's eyes, but was quickly suppressed. She hid her emotions very well, took a few steps back, pursed her lips and chuckled:

"That's right, teacher, after I entered this place, I got a reminder that my main world has been visited by other lost people..."

According to Miss Ouyang, she got the prompt from the space, checked the historical records, and finally found her teacher's personal information, and sent the corresponding application to join the team based on the linked page.

It sounds reasonable, but...

The magician blinked, he really didn't know about this kind of thing.

It turns out that the lost person’s main world has been visited by other colleagues, will he still get a reminder?

From what he knows, it seems that the main world of every lost person will be naturally shielded by space to prevent other lost people from entering it by mistake... Anyway, the void is immeasurable, and everything is infinite. The number of tens of billions of Ganges sands, It’s just a drop in the ocean.

Anyway, there are truly infinite worlds to choose from, so there is no need to risk internal strife. In this space, even killing each other among members is not encouraged. It is normal to have such internal protection rules.

And if the lost person has already visited that world before becoming a lost person, there is no way around it.

Anyway, Xia Ran has never heard of it. In this case, you can also check the historical records and find the corresponding personal number of the lost person... Although they are all spaces, the white space is not QQ space, and there is no such thing in the lost person. What does a VIP member say?

Is it possible that there are some hidden Yellow Diamond users who can view all visitor records?

It was for this reason that the magician had doubts about Miss Ouyang's statement, but he just took one look at the girl in the palace skirt and stopped worrying about anything.

There may be some secrets in it, but Miss Ouyang has no need to deceive herself. Moreover, as a newcomer who has just entered the space and obtained the official establishment, even if she wants to find a reason, she should not make such a lame excuse.

With her ice and snow intelligence, she would definitely inquire carefully, find out the rules of the space, and then find a suitable reason to deal with it.

So maybe there is indeed something hidden, but it is very likely that she herself does not know what is going on... And those who have the authority to make different changes and arrangements in the space should only be those in the upper realm.

Xia Ran secretly wondered if a space boss was already eyeing him, just like the Buddhist boss not long ago. Is this a way to express goodwill to him in advance?

This is very possible.

However, he acted as if nothing had happened, pretending to be very relaxed and believed his student's statement, and then asked Miss Ouyang about the changes in the world of fairy swords after he and others left.

Arturia, who was beside her, also heard the problem, but seeing her master pretending to be stupid, she thought about it and naturally didn't say anything.

"...The son of Yuntianhe and Han Lingsha?" The magician raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had heard another incredible news.

"Well, this is the only disciple I have accepted..." When talking about the fact that she had also accepted a disciple, Miss Ouyang looked quite embarrassed and glanced at her teacher in embarrassment before continuing.

"I remember that Han Lingsha seemed to have some health problems, and her life span was very short..." Xia Ran frowned slightly, thinking of this.

"Yes, Miss Han has a physical problem, and her life span is short..." Miss Ouyang smiled bitterly, "And I had not entered the Four Realms at that time, so I couldn't help her much. Shortly after giving birth to the child, she went……"

If you don't have children, you may still be able to live to be thirty or forty years old. After all, giving birth is very harmful to a woman's vitality, not to mention the many problems that Miss Han has.

The body is cold, the life is short, and the vitality is severely depleted due to Wangshu...

"But this is indeed the choice she would make..." Xia Ran sighed with some nostalgia and smiled with admiration. If she could choose, the girl in red who dared to love and hate would definitely choose this way. of.

And in that world, Miss Ouyang really only had those few people she could be friends with.

If you think about it this way, maybe in these years, those acquaintances have also put a lot of effort into the human world, at least not letting the heavy burden fall on the shoulders of their own students.

He glanced at Miss Ouyang with some pity. If it was really like what he thought at first, and the burden of humanity in that world was on her, then he would feel that it was too much, and he might be so angry that he would tremble all over. On a hot day, my whole body is sweating and my hands and feet are cold.

She is obviously a weak woman with no power, but the whole world is full of oppression against her, can she still get better?

After punching his heart, the magician gathered all his thoughts and smiled faintly: "Forget it, the past is past... Mingzhu, is there anything else you need to do? If not, let's go back to the real world first. Go ahead."

"No more, everything is decided by the teacher." The girl in the palace skirt shook her head repeatedly, and she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, like an ordinary girl acting coquettishly.

"That's it..." The magician nodded and was about to log out when he seemed to think of something and realized that he had ignored someone.

He quickly turned his head: "Artoria..."

"No more!" The knight girl replied angrily, interrupting his words.

"..."

Xia Ran's expression froze, and she clearly didn't ask anything.

Why is she still angry?

It’s really hard to understand a girl’s mind.

…

…

"I knew it, I forgot about it..."

In the real world, in the familiar bedroom, Xia Ran sat up from the bed he had not seen for a long time, with a calm look on his face.

In his room, a girl in a palace dress stood in front of his bed, curiously looking at the surrounding facilities...

Because his real-world coordinates are used as the anchor point to bring his teammates back together, their teammates will appear near his position in the real world.

Arturia used to be like this, but later on, after setting it up in the space, such an embarrassing situation would no longer happen... Until now, Miss Ouyang joined the team and was brought into the real world.

Xia Rancai suddenly remembered that she had ignored this matter.

But the problem is not big, there is nothing to be afraid of... He blinked and felt that it was just that.

"Teacher, this...is this your world?" At this moment, Miss Ouyang could not help but frown her slender eyebrows. She asked in the darkness while quietly looking at the boy on the bed.

Although the teacher was neatly dressed and nothing unsightly happened, the scene still made her pretty face blush.

"Yes, the spiritual energy is low and the environment is harsh. That's it. Don't expect too much..." The magician nodded casually, and then his face changed slightly.

He heard quick, familiar footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

The next moment, his bedroom door was opened directly.

The figure of a black-haired girl still wearing pajamas appeared at the door, panting slightly, looking a little panicked: "I, I just... had a long, long dream, it seemed, it seemed like I was living in a dream. One year…”

The words stopped abruptly.

Yukinoshita Yukino relied on the light shining into the room from the corridor outside the door to see the slim figure of a strange woman in a palace dress standing beside someone's bed.

"..."

"..."

"Ahem, this girl is one of my students. We were discussing academic issues just now..." The magician coughed lightly and explained sincerely.
