Sheriff, give me a smile~

It was already the morning of the third day when Luna came back. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Li Bai lying on the stone table, drunk and lethargic.

Under the table are broken wine bottles and residual liquor.

Looking around, there was no sign of Di Renjie.

I just didn't come back for a day, what happened?

Luna wakes up Li Bai.

Li Bai woke up in a daze, propped himself up, and looked at Luna for a long time before regaining his senses.

"You're back." The voice was hoarse and tired.

"what happened to you?"

Li Bai smiled wearily: "What's the matter... What else can I do... Who else can make me do..."

Luna frowned: "Sovereign"

"He doesn't like me at all, not at all." Li Bai slowly held his forehead that almost burst due to drunkenness.

For more than a year, Luna has seen Li Bai's feelings for Di Renjie, and she knows how deep it is, but most of the time, even knowing it is useless.

Luna sighed: "Li Bai, why bother? There are some things that you know are impossible, so don't touch them. If you like someone else, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, his wealth or age, I will definitely support you Chased him. But he, it's impossible. If you stop and stop, you will suffer. You..."

Luna endured it, and finally said: "Give up."

There was a long silence, so silent that Luna felt a little uncomfortable, and was about to speak, but Li Bai spoke before her, as if he had been thinking for a long time.

His voice was slow and deep, as if flowing through a clear spring of stone: "When I was very young, the people in Qingqiu told me that I was the demon seed and their second prince. Those who intend to destroy us, the Jiaolong clan, will all be trampled under their feet. So my father taught me tricks and swordsmanship and the way of magic when I was very young. He wanted to train me to be a sharp sword, so if I did something wrong, he would He beat me up or scolded me. My brother often pleaded for me, and I even wondered if I didn't have my brother in those days, would I just die like this."

"Maybe it's because I'm dissolute by nature. I'm not interested in wars between demons and the world, and I'm not interested in scheming and magic. I only love romantic poetry and poetry. I never take what he taught me seriously, and forget it after I learn it." , turned around and ran to the world, only looking for the fireworks, bright moon and fine wine."

"Gradually, the look in his eyes that looked at me became more and more disappointed, and he turned all his energy to my brother. My brother is indeed an emperor's material, and he did not live up to his expectations. He was very happy, and gradually he didn't care about me. Let me do whatever I want. On the surface, he seems to be very kind to me, but I know that in his heart, I have become a dispensable person. There is not much difference between life and death. "

"When I was 15 years old, I was attacked by a demon hunter and nearly died. After I narrowly escaped death and returned to Qingqiu, he only took one look at me and said, how could I have such an incompetent son like you, and then ignored me. It was raining heavily that night and it was very cold. I still remember that it was my elder brother who gave me the medicine. For fear of hurting me, Ah Xian applied my wound little by little, and then covered me with a quilt. "

Li Bai smiled slightly, with melancholy and warmth in his eyes.

"Since then, I have become more and more indulgent, and I almost don't want to stay in Qingqiu for a moment. People in Qingqiu say that I am ignorant, useless, useless, and useless except for my face." Li Bai sneered: "My feelings, how can they I will understand."

"Mingyue, Jiangtian, flying birds, the universe, the universe, in my eyes, are all feelings and poems. In this world, wisdom can make people admire, authority can make people awe, and beauty can make people envy, but these are not the most beautiful things. What attracts people is not the most eternal. The most attractive thing is feelings, and what is eternal is words. Only words can make everything in the world last forever.”

"It doesn't matter if they don't understand, because I know, and there is one person who understands." Li Bai smiled, his eyes were so gentle that it was ridiculous.

"When I was young, he gave me a divination, saying that my destiny was inextricably linked with writing, and that I was a genius for studying poetry. He asked me if I would like to listen to his lectures. I was very happy and said yes. So he Just teach me, keep teaching me. He brought me Kanzong’s books and took me to other schools to attend lectures. Sometimes I asked some weird requests or questions, but he never got angry.”

"He doesn't dislike my identity as a demon, and treats me so well. He often takes me out to play, buys me wine, sugar, and sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Once, we made an appointment to meet on the fifteenth day, but he was busy. I was made to wait all night for nothing. I was very angry at the time, and said that if you keep me waiting for you, I will ignore you." Li Bai smiled helplessly: "At that time, I was just a child at heart. Seriously, Hui Hui came before me and never asked me to wait again."

"Later I asked him, you are from the Kan sect and I am a demon, will you use this word to me one day? He said no. This is the first promise I got in my life."

"When I was 15 years old, I told him that I was attacked by a witcher. He sighed, held me in his arms, and asked if I was still in pain. The voice was so gentle that I almost wanted to sink into it." Li Bai smiled again, with helplessness and nostalgia in his eyes: "How do you think he can be so gentle?"

"When I was 17 years old, Emperor Kanzong organized the Qixian Conference. He asked me if I wanted to go, and I said yes. I know, I don't want to cause trouble for him. But he really let me in. If I knew that the price was to close the peripheral organs of Jianzong, I would say nothing. I still don't know. Three years ago, what did I do? Did it cause any trouble for him?"

"However, I don't regret it. If I hadn't gone to Kanzong that time, I probably wouldn't have had such close contact with him. The moment he kissed me, I almost lost control. At that moment, I seemed to understand a little bit that I cherished this person." What unusual emotion."

"In the past three years, I have come to you often and saw him from time to time. He is still the same as before, cold, gentle, and quiet. I want to get closer to him more and more, and I am more and more greedy for his temperature. So I often Do something to him to take advantage of him."

"Sometimes I really feel that as long as I hold him, I don't want anything. I don't want anything. "

"Mr. Xie told me that everything in this world is about cause and effect. If there is a cause, there must be an effect. Nothing can escape this law. The experience of these 20 years is the cause, and liking him is the effect. I am reluctant to let go of this effect. No more."

"Finally there is such a person who makes you happy, makes you happy, allows you to live and die for him, and makes you feel at ease just looking at him. You say..."

Li Bai turned to look at Luna: "Am I willing to give up?"

Luna listened to him quietly, sighed, and looked at him with a trace of pity and compassion in her eyes. She reached out and patted Li Bai's shoulder: "If you insist on doing this, I won't stop you. It's just that once you choose something, you can do it. You must pay the price, I hope you are firm enough and strong enough."

Li Bai smiled: "Of course, thank you too, for making my thoughts clearer."

Li Bai stood up: "I should go back to Qingqiu, 20 years old is my crowning day, I must go back."

Luna nodded: "Be careful on the road."

The Qingqiu Altar is the holy land of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.All through the ages, sacrificial offerings, military dispatches, fortune-telling, and coming-of-age ceremonies for members of the royal family have all been held here.

The altar is set on the high mountain and flat ground, with marble as the steps, white jade as the railing, and a ritual tripod in the altar.

During the sacrificial season, the fox king would personally go up to the altar and cast spells to worship the heavens, while the rest of the people in Qingqiu would kneel down to the altar.

In the past hundred years, Qingqiu has had good weather and no military incidents, so the altar is rarely used.But in the past ten years, it has been used twice.

The first time was the coming-of-age ceremony of Li Xian, the eldest son of Fox King, and the second time was Li Bai's coming-of-age ceremony.

During Li Xian's coming-of-age ceremony three years ago, ten bolts of thunder fell from the sky around the altar, and the dark sky turned into snow in an instant.

The clouds are gone and the fog is gone, and the color is bright.

Everyone in Qingqiu thought it was auspicious and bowed down around the altar.

The Fox King taught Li Xian the sacred object of Qingqiu, the Soul Bead, and Li Xian took it solemnly, and kowtowed three times to the east.

Pay homage to the ancestors of Qingqiu,

Two thanks to the fox king's grace,

Three prayers to Yuanhun Lingzhu,

In order to live up to the expectations of everyone in Qingqiu.

Today's weather is as gloomy and gloomy as Li Xian's Jiguan Day three years ago, the difference is that it is raining today.

Li Bai walked towards the altar step by step with his umbrella in hand. Looking around, he almost suspected that he came to the wrong place.

not a single person.

The rain dripped wetly on the smooth marble steps and white jade railings, making a ticking sound.

The sky was frighteningly gloomy, and Li Bai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Why is there no one?

Walking up the stairs, Li Bai suddenly saw a person standing in front of the altar and the cauldron.

The man didn't open an umbrella, let the rain get wet, just lowered his head, looked at the things in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Axian

Li Bai stepped forward quickly, and moved the umbrella over his head: "Axian, why don't you open an umbrella in such heavy rain, why are you alone?"

Li Xian raised his head and looked at him quietly, the rain was dripping down his hair, his eyes were full of bewilderment and melancholy that Li Bai couldn't understand.

Li Bai probed his forehead strangely, and held his hand again: "What's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold, are they cold?"

When he saw what was in Li Xian's hands, Li Bai was startled: "Yuanhunzhu, what did you bring it for?"

Li Xian still stared at Li Bai in a daze, without answering a word.

Li Bai frowned: "Axian, what's the matter, you talk."

Li Xian squirmed his lips, and said in a scary hoarse voice: "Do you know that Qingqiu has a custom called choosing a child?"

Li Bai's heart sank, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared: "What is that?"
