Husband is a piece of cloud cake

Pilizi, a spice that only grows on the mountain behind Shangxiao Peak outside the water mirror.Lu Jing searched for it many times in the water mirror, and even sent people to search for it at Shangxiao Peak in the water mirror, but they didn't find any trace of it.Now that Zi Yang suddenly brought it up again, Lu Jing asked softly behind him, stroking his shoulder.

"Do you really want to eat roast lamb?"

Xue Nanyu nodded, sat looking at the snowflakes outside the window, and smiled slightly.

"Last night, I dreamed that I went back to Shangxiao Peak. You took me out for hunting. You caught gazelle and roasted it. The smell was so wonderful... After I woke up, I missed it very much. I always wanted to eat it again."

His complexion was pale and he was much thinner than before.Lu Jing hugged him from behind and gently rubbed his cheek.

"Then I'll go back to Shangxiao Peak in a few days." Lu Jing said, "I'll bring you some more pilizi and roast them for you."

"You don't have to wait a few more days." Xue Nanyu said quietly, "Just today."

Lu Jing couldn't help being surprised: Zi Yang was in such a hurry?But after thinking about it, he told himself that he wanted to eat pilizihe mutton, and he dreamed about it again last night, so it's not surprising that he gave himself a little more support today.Ziyang has lost his appetite for many days, if he likes the mutton cooked by Pilizi, then Lu Jing will make a trip for him.

So Lu Jing nodded.The eldest son immediately asked Cai Mo to prepare the luggage for Lu Jing and Cui Qi.Soon Cui Qi came over, looked at the neat outfit and smiled.

"Young master is too careful. It is difficult to take out the objects in the water mirror. Even if we take our luggage, we have to leave it at the edge of the enchantment."

"But you'll be on the road for at least two days."

The eldest son's expression was calm, but there was a trace of pain in his eyes when he lowered his head: "In such a heavy snow day, there is always nothing wrong with packing more luggage."

"Zi Yang is right." Lu Jing immediately agreed: "Even if we have to put it down when we go out, we just send it to the reverse journey first. After picking up the things and returning them, they will still be useful on the way back."

While he was talking, he sorted out the rune artifacts in his Qiankun bag, and the people in the Hou's mansion also brought horses.Seeing Lu Jing and Cui Qi adjusting their Fantie Feijian, Xue Nanyu suddenly said.

"I'll send it to you."

There was no sadness or joy on his face, and he looked really peaceful.Lu Jing glanced at the sky outside and quickly declined.

"It's windy outside. You may catch cold when you go out. Stay at home, and I'll be back in three or four days at the latest."

"Where am I so fragile?" Xue Nanyu smiled softly: "Don't worry, I'm sitting in a car, and there is a fire cage in the car, which is about the same as in the house."

Lu Jing wanted to persuade her again, but Cui Qi stopped her junior.

"Just let Zi Yang see him off. Why bother to please him?"

These words made Lu Jing shut up, and soon the eldest son's carriage also came.Cai Mo helped Xue Nanyu get into the car, and the group walked out of the city slowly in the heavy snow.The snow was covered with ruts and horseshoe marks. Lu Jing rode on the horse talking to the eldest son, and occasionally heard him coughing once or twice in the car.

Soon to the city gate.Cui Qi reined in her horse and went to the eldest son's car, saying that the wind and snow made it urgent for the son to go back first, and it was enough for them to be sent here.Xue Nanyu answered in a low voice in the car, then suddenly called softly after a pause.

"Zian."

"Ok?"

Lu Jing turned around and came back: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

The eldest son inside the curtain didn't speak for a while, and then smiled softly after a while: "I just want you not to forget what you promised me."

"Isn't it just Perak?" Lu Jing was a little at a loss: "What else?"

"No more." The person inside the curtain simply replied: "The Qinglang River is just ahead, you and Senior Brother Cui can go by boat."

Crossing the river is the only way out of Liuyun County.Lu Jing and Cui Qi found a big boat and even led the horses aboard.Qinglang is a big river, and its flowing water is not frozen all year round, but it is also extremely cold on both sides of the river in heavy snow weather.The boatman brought hot wine to the passengers, and Lu Jing walked up to the bow with a bowl, but was surprised to find that Xue Nanyu was on the shore.

He was dressed in plain clothes with cloud patterns and a thick white fur collar. He got out of the car at some point, supported by Cai Mo, and looked at the ferry boat from afar.White snow fell on his silver crown shoulders, his wide robe sleeves and skirt fluttered in the wind, making him look extremely thin.

Lu Jing was startled, and hurriedly called to the shore.

"Go back to the car~ I'll be back in a few days~"

The strong wind swept away his voice, and only a few lonely "I'm back" and "I'm back" echoed between the snow flakes and the mountains.Cui Qi also came out of the cabin, staring at the shore for a long time without saying a word.It was Caimo who shouted loudly on the shore.

"Brother Cui, my son, please take care of Mr. Lu along the way. After you go back, please pay respects to all the masters for him."

"Definitely." Cui Qi clasped her hands together and said loudly toward the shore: "Please rest assured, Young Master."

So Xue Nanyu bowed on the bank and bowed.The river turned a bend, the big boat went around the mountains, and the convoy and Ziyang on the bank were no longer visible.

The snow-white shadow disappeared behind the mountains, and Lu Jing's heart suddenly became empty.

He was thinking about Xue Nanyu's expression, thinking about Xue Nanyu's face, thinking that he hadn't eaten breakfast today, thinking that yesterday afternoon his heat seemed to be a little higher than the day before yesterday, and he regretted agreeing to go back to Shangxiao Peak. .But once the boat sailed, there was no reason to go back, so Lu Jing could only persuade himself in his heart——

——Forget it, forget it, the entrance and exit of the water mirror is the building wood on the top of the peak.I have only been away from Ziyang for three or four days.After three or four days, I can come back.

After exhausting the waterway and changing horses, they galloped all the way and finally reached the Sea of ​​Stories on the second night.Because Lu Jing was injured by vines at the bottom of the cold pool, he could not pass through the sea of ​​stories alone.Cui Qi asked him to pack his luggage again, put down all useless things, so that he could take him to swim across the sea.

Lu Jing didn't have much luggage himself, and those things were all prepared by Zi Yang.He then unpacked his luggage and began to look through each item.

Clothes, espionage, food... I didn't expect the Hou Mansion to prepare so much. Lu Jing felt that this was a bit of a fuss.Turning to the end, a wooden box was revealed.

Opened it, inside the box were several house deeds and land deeds and a large stack of flying money from Liuyun County Bank.These houses and fields are all over Liuyun County, and the money is enough for ordinary people to live a prosperous life.Lu Jing looked at these things and couldn't help laughing to himself.

"Why did Ziyang prepare these belongings for me? After I return to Shuijing, will I move out of the Hou's mansion and go there alone? Preparing these things doesn't seem like a temporary farewell, but rather a trustee—"

His words came to an abrupt end.Recalling all the signs of Ziyang before he left, Lu Jing suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart.He didn't care about any thunderbolts any more, he dropped those heavy objects and took only soft ones, and Lu Jing went down to the stable again to lead the horse.

Cui Qi happened to come out from under the stable to feed the horse, watched him rushing over, and asked.

"It's so late at night, and we have to cross the sea tomorrow, Zi'an, where are you going?"

"Return to Liuyun County!"

Cui Qi grabbed his hand: "The sea of ​​stories is right in front of you, what are you doing going back? You promised Zi Yang that you would go to Shangxiao Peak to bring him something."

"Screw his promise, I regret it!"

Lu Jing broke free from the senior brother's hand, cut off the horse's rein and whipped the whip fiercely, and the horse rushed out of the door with a long hiss.Cui Qi also came behind, and Yu Jian shouted in front of Lu Jing's horse.

"Zian, you have to go! I also promised Ziyang!"

The ominousness in his heart became more and more intense, Lu Jing said bitterly.

"So you also tricked me with him? Get out of the way!"

He also called out Dijiang, and the two fought with each other, and he ran out of the inn on his horse.Cui Qi couldn't fight if she was flying with a sword, and couldn't fly if she was fighting. After being entangled for a while, she had to curse and get off the sword, untie the horse herself, and rode back home.

Originally a two-day journey, Lu Jinghua arrived in one night.It was dawn when we returned to Qinglang River, the horse neighed dead, and Lu Jing Yujian flew into the city.

The sky was dark, and the closer he got to the Hou Mansion, the more uneasy Lu Jing felt.Thick clouds of leaden gray weigh heavily on the cornices of Liuyunhou's mansion.Lu Jing lowered his flying sword and walked through the familiar pavilions. As soon as he approached the eldest son's residence, he heard crying, and suddenly felt a blow to the head.

Who is crying and for whom?He couldn't stop trembling all over, and rushed in like a gust of wind, and saw a coffin placed in the main hall.

In the hall was a group of servants wearing mourning, seeing him coming in was like seeing a ghost, all of them were dumbfounded.

"Who's in here?" Lu Jing's voice was trembling like his own: "Who...who died?"

No one answered him.On the contrary, the young servants who were usually closer to Xue Nanyu began to cry.Terrible thoughts floated up, and Lu Jing almost fell down immediately.He staggered to the side of the coffin, fortunately, the coffin was empty.

Oh, no one died.Maybe Zi Yang's condition got worse, so he came like this...for a rush?

Lu Jing comforted himself in his heart, but then became worried again.He stood up and ran towards Ziyang's bedroom, just as Caimo was coming out of the bedroom, he was startled when he saw him.

"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"

Lu Jing ignored him, just pushed his shoulder and rushed in.Cai Mo blocked the door at once.

"Don't look, it's already gone." Cai Mo showed a sad look on his face: "You shouldn't come back."

"Where are you going?" Lu Jing's voice was dry: "He...he has been very ill these days, where else can he run around?"

Cai Mo blinked, Lu Jing pulled him away with red eyes, and slammed into the door.

"Zi Yang?"

He called, but no one answered.The curtain beside the bed hung down, Lu Jing lifted it, and Ziyang lay quietly inside.

Zi Yang closed his eyes, his long eyelashes drooping, and his hands clasped obediently in front of his belly.Eternal lamps were lit in front of his head and under his feet. Xue Nanyu was wearing a dress decorated with a flowing cloud coat of arms, and his hair was slightly damp and scattered on the pillow.He hasn't worn the crown yet, and although his face and body are clean, it's clear that he hasn't had time to take care of it.This scene, these arrangements, Lu Jing has seen on some occasions that require etiquette to attend.Those occasions are associated with long mourning streamers and prolonged wailing.With trembling fingers, he probed the eldest son's nose, but he was out of breath.

Zi Yang...

Lu Jing suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell on the eldest son.Countless hands supported him, and people from the Hou Mansion called out to him.Lu Jing gathered himself together, pushed them all away suddenly, and picked up his son Ziyang.

"what happened!?"

He roared, tears streaming down his face.

"It's only been three days since I left! Wasn't he fine three days ago!?"

The body in his arms was soft, and the eldest son's hand was still warm.

Under his anger and grief, the servants of the Hou Mansion did not dare to respond.Only Caimo answered in a low voice.

"He has never been better. He has been struggling in front of you all the time. After you left, he doesn't have to support anymore. His symptoms started to hurt and he coughed up blood, and the airway was blocked very quickly... Fortunately, he didn't suffer much. Tortured, wish fulfilled, mind settled, he left very quickly——look at his expression, isn’t he very happy?”

joy?Lu Jing looked down, and sure enough, the corners of the eldest son's lips were slightly raised, with a relieved expression on his face.He seems to have finally let go of all the burdens and left. From then on, the troubles of the world have nothing to do with him.

This look made Lu Jing's heart ache again.He pinched the eldest son's chin and raised his face.

"So you abandoned me again...you want me to fetch the pilizi, you just want to distract me, right?"

Tears dripped down Xue Nanyu's face and slid down the corners of his eyes, as if both of them were crying.

"You will feel heartache and shortness of breath, but if I'm by your side, you can still get you back. So you sent me away on purpose...Zi Yang, you are so cruel!"

"You are so happy! But what about me?!" Lu Jing pinched his face tightly and roared, "You just walked away easily, what should I do!? You want me to go back to Shangxiao Peak and meet again To your corpse!?"

"You want to get rid of me, no!" Lu Jing hugged the eldest son's body: "I'll take you to the Muling Formation right now!"

With a crash, the ever-burning lamp under his feet was swept by Xue Nanyu's big sleeve, and fell to the ground and shattered.People from the Hou Mansion rushed over.

"What are you going to do!?" Cai Mo was the first to speak: "The Mu Ling Formation can only keep living people, not corpses. He is dead now, so don't bother him anymore, okay?"

Ying Qi also stopped him with his sword: "Young master has ordered that everything be kept simple. After he ascends to immortality, he will immediately cremate his remains in the coffin. What else are you going to do?"

"Step aside!"

Di Jiang appeared amidst the mournful cry, and smashed the coffin in the hall into pieces with a click.

"Who said cremation? Who dares!" Lu Jing hugged the lifeless body: "Get out of the way! If there are any noises, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

His eyes were red, his canthus were cracked, and he came down step by step while holding the body, and Dijiang opened the way in front of him with a blue light flashing.Fan Tie couldn't compete with Fei Jian, so Cai Mo held Ying Qi, with a rare look of sadness and anger on his face.

"Lu Jing, you are crazy! His body must be burned! Otherwise, he will die in vain, and all this hard work will be in vain!"

"roll!"

Lu Jing roared again, and sneered at Cai Mo: "Jing Ling, right? If you want to stop me, I will ask you for advice."

Dijiang flew towards Cai Mo, Cai Mo flashed sideways, the flying sword snapped, and a pillar broke.

"Have you demolished the house yet?" Cai Mo was anxious, planning to teach this ignorant boy a lesson: "Okay, my old man will play with you right now!"

There was an undercurrent in the air, and Jing Ling was ready to make a move.Fortunately, someone arrived in time and stopped Lu Jing.

"Stop, Zi An!" The golden sword light stopped Di Jiang: "Zi Yang is gone, calm down!"

It's Cui Qi.He was hostile to his junior brother, so Lu Jing couldn't go over for a while, so he had to put down the body of the eldest son first, then turned around and rushed towards the senior brother.

"You stop me too!? You took me away on purpose, right!?"

Full of hatred, he vented his hatred on Cui Qi, and the brothers and sisters fought together for a while.Lu Jing didn't dare to leave the room, and Cui Qi also had a lot of scruples for fear of hurting others.I don't know how long it has passed, Cui Qi seized an opportunity and stopped Dijiang with her flying sword, forcing Lu Jing into a corner and growling.

"Zian, don't go crazy. Ziyang just didn't want you to be like this, so he deliberately pushed you away. If he knew you were like this, I don't know how sad it would be."

Cui Qi knocked Dijiang down with a slap, and Lu Jing finally couldn't hold it anymore. He knelt down beside Xue Nanyu, hugged him, wept first, and then wept uncontrollably.He wailed loudly, buried his face in Xue Nanyu's sleeve, and cried until his whole body was shaking.

No one dared to persuade him, and no one dared to move Xue Nanyu's body.It wasn't until the sky darkened that Lu Jing's voice became hoarse, and Cai Mo came over to push him.

"You've covered his clothes with tears and snot, he likes to be clean...why don't you change into him first, and then you continue to cry?"

Lu Jing finally raised his head, choked up and said, "I...I'll come. I'll take him to the Nuan Pavilion."

"Don't come." Cai Mo carefully tugged at Lu Jing: "The pond is deep, I'm afraid you will sink with him."

Then he couldn't bear it and said: "Or, let's follow the old rules, stop the spirit for seven days first, and then discuss other things."

Cui Qi came over and forcibly dragged Lu Jing out.Lu Jing held his sword and sat by the pillar under the eaves, watching the mourners around him coming in and out, feeling unbearably sad in his heart.He bowed his head and couldn't stop weeping, crying very embarrassingly.With such an evil god here, no one dared to mention the cremation of the eldest son in the coffin.Lu Jing stayed outside the house until it was dark, and saw that the white flags had been hung in the hall, so he stood up in a daze, and walked into the hall.

The melons and fruits were offered in the hall, he randomly took a bite out of one from the altar table, then lifted a jug of wine from the table, bit the cork of the jug and gulped it down, then staggered in.

The guards flinched when they saw him, but Lu Jing laughed instead.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here to express my condolences. Are you still worried that I will eat up your young master?"

Then he poked them with the toe of his boots: "Go out, don't be an eyesore here, I still have something to say with you young master."

He drove all the servants away, and walked around the empty mourning hall by himself before reaching the body.

"Zi Yang." He said very gently, "Are you cold?"

Xue Nanyu lay quietly without answering, Lu Jing touched his hand, it was as cold as ice.

So he sat down by his bier, ate his fruit, and drank his wine.

"Yes, you won't be cold anymore, just leave me alone." He swallowed the astringent fruit with cold wine, and his drunkenness surged up: "But the gazelle you are thinking about in your heart, is it Do you really want me to roast it? Well, this wine is good, come, I respect you."

He lifted the jug, and felt that Guan Ziyang might be angry, so he took another cup from the altar table and poured a cup.

Lu Jing lifted the body and brought the wine glass to his lips.Of course the eldest son couldn't drink it down, the wine seeped out from his lips.Lu Jing hurriedly put down his glass, carefully wiped off the wine stains for him, and sighed.

"I can't force-feed you. If you change your clothes if they get dirty, you will catch a cold again."

He put down his Zi Yang, stroked his hair very gently, and said with a smile.

"So let me do it for you."

Taking a few more sips with the jug in his mouth, Lu Jing shook the jug, threw the empty jug aside, and brought another jug ​​to the altar table.

He held the jug and drank again, smiling sleepily.

"It's good that you are like this. You won't be troubled or hurt anymore. Ziyang, do you know that every time you get sick, I can't wait to take out my heart and pain for you. Now, your heart won't hurt anymore. Me, too. Finally, I can rest assured. Hehe, that's great, that's great."

Lu Jing laughed while talking, the louder he laughed, showing a bit of a dark side in this empty mourning hall, causing the owls outside the mourning hall to also cry.

"Listen, night owl. Ziyang, it's midnight, are you outside?"

He stood up staggeringly, opened the window to look, but there was no shadow of a bird or a ghost.All I saw was a white snowfield under the moonlight.The cold north wind swept in, making Lu Jing sober up a little.He moved to the coffin, held Xue Nanyu's hand, and looked at him carefully.

"But even though you are dead, when I see you, I still want to hug you and kiss you, and I still want to be with you."

Lu Jing leaned down, kissed Xue Nanyu's cold lips tenderly, rubbed his cheek and said in a low voice.

"It's better for me to go with you. Go underground together, turn into bones, turn into maggots, and let those flowers and trees grow from our eye sockets."

Speaking of this, he paused: "No, don't come out of your eye sockets. You are still clean and fine, let me rot beside you, and grow flowers from my flesh and blood to surround you—Zi Yang , I will follow you."

"After you were buried, I will sacrifice you with my blood in front of your tomb. I won't leave again, I won't go anywhere, I will stay in Shuijing. At that time, I knew I was going to leave, and you started the next day." I have a high fever... from now on, I won't leave, are you happy?"

Lu Jing hugged and kissed his lover who had become cold.Under the moonlight, he could clearly see tears streaming down from the corners of Zi Yang's eyes.

"Zi Yang!?"

Immediately, his breathing became rapid, and Lu Jing hurriedly went to test Xue Nanyu's pulse and heartbeat.But the body under the fingers is silent and cold, and has even begun to stiffen. How can there be any trace of life?

So Lu Jing's heart that had been a little bit alive just now died again, and he murmured and hugged Xue Nanyu.

"Zi Yang, you are so cruel. You really don't give me any hope, I..."

He drew out his saber, and cut it hard at the neck.With a flash of light, the iron sword was broken, and Lu Jing was also thrown aside by the force of the sudden break of the iron sword.The eldest son's body was released from his arms, and a rich red light radiated from the body.

"Zi Yang!?"

Lu Jing's hand was cut by the broken sword, and the red light made him unable to open his eyes.He raised his hand to cover his eyes, and saw through his fingers that Ziyang's clothes and hair were blowing in the cold wind, and that dead body was also rising in the air.

alive?dead?

Lu Jing was dumbfounded, feeling completely confused.Seeing the eldest son's body rising higher and higher, Lu Jing hurried over and grabbed his sleeve.

Zi Yang's eyes were still closed, and Zi Yang's fingers were still cold—someone stole the body?

The fire in Lu Jing's heart immediately flared up.Di Jiang unsheathed, Lu Jing roared in the mourning hall.

"Who is playing tricks? Get out!"

He stamped his feet, and Dijiang flashed in the mourning hall, and a spiritual current from outside also appeared, it was the girl who controlled the spirit beside Mrs. Jiang.

The girl's lips moved, and she spoke in words that did not make any sound, but penetrated into people's hearts.

—Take him and follow me.

——The body that can be compatible with Suzaku does not die so easily.

—my master can save him.
