[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

Shen Ye would allow his sister to go out because the sun is very sunny and the wind is not strong today, which is a rare weather suitable for going out in late autumn.

The light golden color leaked from the branches, leaves and roots of the wooden trees that covered the entire Liuyue City, and poured it all over most of the city without hesitation. Without the occupants, it lacks vitality. Even if the sun is shining, there is an inexplicable coldness.

The buildings in Liuyue City are mostly composed of deep and shallow gray and blue stones. Because of the belief in Shennong, there are many plants and trees in the city. Although the climate is bitter and cold, there is no shortage of flowers and colors.

However, Shen Xi felt that the scene in front of her was like a photo that had been placed for many years, without even a trace of freshness, even if there were colors other than black and white, they were all as dead as ashes that had dissipated the remaining heat.

And there are dozens of places like this outside the main city.

Shen Xi seemed to see a flower that was in full bloom, slowly withering and dying from the edge of the outermost petals...

She thought, did her elder brother also see such a scene?

"...Brother wants to go over there to see, where is Xiao Xi?"

Hearing her brother's abrupt question that broke the silence, Shen Xi nodded and rolled up her sleeves subconsciously.Seeing Shen Xi's small movements, Shen Ye smiled, and added a layer of warm wind technique to her in the kneading formula, then took her sister's hand and walked forward.

Outside this stretch of buildings is the Fuxi Barrier that has locked Liuyue City for thousands of years and completely isolated the people of Lieshan tribe from the outside world.

The two passed through the abandoned houses and came to the real periphery of Floating Moon City.

Although the enchantment enveloped the entire Liuyue City, it did not touch the city for half an inch. Standing at the edge of Liuyue City, there were still tens of meters away from the enchantment.

Looking at the lower realm through the dome of light that seems to envelop the stream of clouds, under the heavy clouds, you can only see the faintly undulating mountains made of powder makeup and silver. A mass of dark gray or dark green fuzzy color blocks scattered on the ice sheet that never seemed to thaw.

It is really clean to end up in a vast expanse of whiteness... Shen Xi thought of the last sentence of Dream of Red Mansions, and felt that it seemed a little unlucky.

Shen Ye sighed: "I actually forgot, Liuyue City is thousands of feet away from the ground, and it is above the bitter cold land in the northern border, so I can't see the lower world..."

"Xiaoxi, look there," he pointed far to the south of the lower realm, "the book says that the south of the lower realm has a warm climate, lush vegetation, and many birds and beasts that we have only seen in albums... There must be a place in the future. Today, my brother will take Xiaoxi to the lower realm, and let Xiaoxi see the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains mentioned in the book, as well as those interesting things."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ye felt a light itch in the palm of his hand, it was his sister's fingertips writing there.

When her elder brother finds the way to break the boundary, Xiaoxi will be able to speak again~

...Beautiful little flowers, little birds, fluffy rabbits, shiny little fish, whatever Xiaoxi wants, my brother will find it for you, as long as Xiaoxi responds to her brother... OK...

Shen Ye suddenly felt sour and swollen in his eyes. On the day he came out of the jumbo, his sister did not forget the empty promise he made in a hurry.

Although the enchantment outside Liuyue City was set up by Emperor Fuxi to prevent the leakage of secrets such as five-color stones and rectangular wood, it did not hinder the internal and external circulation of air, moisture, and light.The north wind blowing from the snowfield in northern Xinjiang was as fierce as a knife, and there were no buildings or plants in the outermost area to block the wind. Shen Xi was weak, and when he stood for a while, his little face turned pale from the cold.

"……Let's go back."

After returning to Ziwei Palace, Shen Ye, who sneaked off for half a day, continued to go back to class and work. Before leaving, she comforted Shen Xi as usual, and asked Hua Yue to play with her sister for a while.

In addition, Huayue was also asked by Yun Que to do one thing.

"Xiaoxi...have you been practicing the flute these days?"

Hua Yue smiled reluctantly, looking at the child-sized bamboo flute in Shen Xi's hand.Somewhat different from ordinary flutes, the flute in Shen Xi's hand has no membrane holes at the end, but a wooden pear-shaped resonating ball embedded in it.

"Most of the rhythms are analogous, if we have time, we can also exchange a few words..."

Shen Xi looked at her suspiciously, picked up the clipboard: no, who said I was practicing the flute?

"...Then what are you?" The noise was blowing every day, and even the wooden branches outside your room were destroyed and withered, okay!

I haven't reached the point where I can control Gu with thoughts, now I can only use flute sounds.

Shen Xi put down her pen and pointed to the scrolls placed in one corner of the wall, refining gu, controlling insects and making poison... None of them were serious books that girls should read according to the general opinion of the Lieshan tribe.Considering the general women's ability to accept bugs, Shen Xi did not show Hua Yue the Gu pot hidden under the bed.

Although I used to get goosebumps when I saw arthropods, but I even accepted the curious setting of crawling insects in the blood vessels, sleeping on top of a pile of insects every day, Shen Xi felt that the current self is really not afraid of this up.

However, Huayue's associative ability has not stopped, and her face turns blue when she thinks of the Seven Killing Palace where Gu worms are crawling all over the place.

——Could it be like this in Ziwei Palace in the future?

"...Why does Xiaoxi like these?" Huayue didn't realize at all that her purpose had been to stop Shen Xi's killing flute from shifting direction from the beginning.

It doesn't matter if you like it or not...these are more useful to me.

Looking at the thin porcelain-white hand holding the pen and slowly writing down the words, Huayue felt a little stuffy in her chest.

She vaguely heard Shen Ye mention that since Shen Xi recovered, the spiritual power in Shen Xi's body has become stagnant and congested, stagnating in the meridians and unable to flow, and the speed of natural dissipation of the spiritual power is too slow, so she can only inject the devouring spirit into the body. Gu worms with strong power to prevent too much spiritual power from accumulating in the body and damaging the meridians...

I will spend my mind on this, maybe I hope to understand my physical condition better, so as not to cause trouble to the people around me?

"Xiao Xi... really sensible..."

Before her sadness was over, Shen Xi picked up the flute again...

Huayue just wanted to ask, Xiaoxi, you hide in the room and play the flute with bugs, does your brother know?

An hour later, Shen Ye dismissed get out of class, and Huayue's question was answered.

Faced with the situation where the siblings are reading a book and playing the flute, Huayue sincerely realizes that sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

"I heard that Yun Yu filed a complaint with Yue'er today?"

After Hua Yue left, Shen Ye asked absently, "What happened?"

Shen Xi shook her head and took out a pen: I don't know, sister Huayue just asked me how I started learning the flute today...

Maybe it's because Yun Yu felt that she couldn't do anything by herself, so she asked someone who knows the rhythm to give advice?Shen Xi thought, and then truthfully wrote on the clipboard.

Facts have proved that the logic of sister control cannot be deduced by common sense. Shen Ye thinks what her sister said is very reasonable, but this is not the main problem.

"Gu poison and pharmacology are very difficult, does Xiao Xi find it difficult to read by herself?"

He has read the notes made by Shen Xi, and he can probably estimate the progress of his sister's study. She has mastered the most basic ones, controlling Gu insects with voice, which is an entry-level content. At Shen Xi's age, self-study is still very difficult of.Moreover, the frequency of sound waves that snakes, insects and ants can hear is different from that of humans, so a kind of insect whistle with a special resonator must be used to make them obey instructions.

Shen Xi still shook her head, and continued to write: Actually, it’s okay, but the worm flute is a little different from ordinary flutes, and it took a while to make it.

The real situation is that when Shen Xi just started to look at the middle-level scrolls, she woke up early in the morning and found that there was a newly made insect flute beside her pillow, and it was specially made according to the size of her hands and the length of her arms. The maid on duty doesn't even know who came last night...

Shen Xi probably guessed who gave the insect flute, and seeing that Shen Ye didn't delve into the matter, she was slightly relieved.

In case her father and brother were in the same room, who should she beat up?

This is a very serious question.

It is said that same-sex repulsion is not limited to gender, even the same attributes will be mutually exclusive...
