The villain is soft and clingy [Transmigration Book]

Xia Zhitao was a little curious at first, and didn't know how Zhang Kuang would "comfort" herself, but the other party was so anxious that she couldn't speak, so she moved closer to her.

Zhang Kuang bent slightly, his long hair fell down his shoulders, looked at her with a pair of black and white eyes, and whispered: "Don't be angry, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Zhang Kuang's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Xia Zhitao couldn't hold back her serious expression, and laughed "puchi".

She reached out and tapped the other person's cheek, and said helplessly, "Okay, I'm not angry."

Zhang Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and hurriedly said: "We won't dig other people's gems anymore, so I'll push Jinli back."

Jin Li was shocked, and said sadly: "Master, you can't do this, you can't just retreat like this!!"

Zhang Kuang yelled at her countless times, picked up a few packages of tools scattered on the ground, threw them directly into Jin Li's arms, and said, "Take it, go back now."

Jin Li was on the verge of weeping, and wiped away her tears as she said, "As soon as Junior Sister Xia came, she forgot about our grand plans and left me alone to tear down walls and dig holes. My lord, you can't be so unprincipled..."

Zhang Kuang said coldly: "Go back to me."

Jin Li sighed, feeling in his heart why the leader is so spineless, and slipped away with a few bags of unearthed jewels.

Seeing that Jinli was gone, Zhang Kuang was about to promise Xia Zhitao that he would go back to his room to rest immediately, and would never run around again, when he suddenly remembered something——

She has no room.

Xia Zhitao sighed, and said helplessly: "Who told you to go back to Qiling to the steward before, and if you don't stay in Yunji City tonight, the old man locked the door."

Zhang Kuang thought for a moment, and said: "It's okay, I'll go back to Yaolin to rub the master's bamboo house. Anyway, more than a dozen rooms are only used to store wine."

... You first rushed back to Qiling and then back, and now you plan to return to the Central Plains?No matter how powerful you are, you can't just waste your spiritual power and spirit like this.

Xia Zhitao sighed silently in her heart, and stretched out her hand to hold her: "No, don't run away so late, you come to my place and spend the night first."

When she said this, Zhang Kuang's eyes suddenly lit up a little, like a dark night covered with stars, reflecting tiny dots of light, and said cautiously: "Really?"

Yunji City is rich and powerful, and the room Yuan Rufei arranged for several people is already too big, let alone adding one person, ten people can live there without any problem.

Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "Naturally, you come with me."

Zhang Kuang cleaned up the "crime scene" where the wall had just been dug, and followed Xia Zhitao in small steps.She didn't dare to get too close, nor did she dare to get too far away, and kept a distance of half a meter very carefully.

The room is very spacious, in addition to the bedroom, there is also a beautifully decorated outer room.Xia Zhitao was thinking about where to let Zhang Kuang sleep, this man had already dug out a roll of quilt, squatting happily on the floor.

"Is it too cold outside, why don't you go in and sleep?" Xia Zhitao suggested, "The bed is big enough for two people."

She didn't think much when she said this, she simply didn't want the other party to freeze outside.As a result, Zhang Kuang was suddenly dumbfounded, his ears were very red, and he stammered:

"—No! No need!"

She dug out five or six layers of thick quilts from the pendant, and piled them all up on the rug she had just laid. She sat cross-legged in the quilt pile, and said seriously, "Look, it's not cold."

Xia Zhitao couldn't laugh or cry, there was nothing she could do about it, and said, "I'll go in and get you a pillow."

Different from the jade pillow favored by the Central Plains, Yunji prefers a soft pillow similar to modern times. The white brocade is stuffed with soft cashmere, which is very soft to the touch.

Xia Zhitao hugged the two and walked out, and saw Zhang Kuang changed into black obscene clothes, sitting cross-legged in the pile of quilts, the cloth hanging down a little on his shoulders, showing his thinner shoulder blades.

All the long hair was scattered, and there were meandering marks in the white brocade. The obscene clothes were a little loose, and when he raised his hand, it slid down the wrist, revealing a small piece of jade white wrist.

The candle flame was flickering, dyeing the muscles and bones a layer of orange, she reached out to reach the candlestick on the table, she worked hard for a long time, just as her fingertips touched the edge, Xia Zhitao picked it up.

Xia Zhitao raised her hand to hold the candlestick, helped her put it on the ground, stuffed two pillows over it, and said, "If you feel cold in the middle of the night, go into the room and shake me awake."

Zhang Kuang nodded his head obediently, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, then exposed his head, and said softly, "Rest early."

Xia Zhitao smiled, and said leisurely: "Yes, you two have been digging the wall for so long, carrying so much gold, jade and jewelry, you must be very tired, you should rest more tonight."

... Zhang Kuang didn't dare to speak anymore.

.

The yellow sand spread across the sky mightily, pulling out a curtain of dazzling sun discs, and pouring into the room with scorching breath.

Xia Zhitao always got up early, she meditated for a while, and after circulating the aura in her body, she changed her clothes and left the room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a glutinous rice dumpling on the ground not far away, nestled on the floor obediently, motionless.

Xia Zhitao laughed heartily, thinking that this guy covered himself up so tightly, so he wasn't afraid of being bored.

She squatted down next to the floor bunk, and opened a gap in the tightly covered quilt to help him breathe.

Zhang Kuang slept soundly, no sign of waking up after every movement, his breathing was long and steady, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, filled with a little light, with a hint of sweetness like honey.

Xia Zhitao carefully closed the door, thinking that Jinli and Wangyan in the next room must not have woken up anyway, so he might as well swing around a few times first.

She walked through yesterday's promenade, and happened to see a wall where the jade had been dug out, standing there naked, she couldn't help feeling guilty, and her pace quickened a bit.

Xia Zhitao wandered around the Yunzhu Palace for a few times, and happened to pass by the courtyard of the dyed cloth yesterday, saw the steward giving orders, so he went over to have a chat.

"Morning Miss Xia," the steward was a little surprised, "You got up so early?"

It was only daylight, and Xia Zhitao had already tidied up, refreshed and refreshed, without the slightest sign of fatigue, she smiled calmly and said, "Good morning."

The dyed gauze that was dried yesterday was all put away, and only the brackets and the dyeing vats by the wall remained in the courtyard, which lost its brilliant colors and felt a little empty all of a sudden.

The steward said: "Today is the Botisi Festival. If you want, you can take the others to the street for a stroll. The streets should be all tied with ribbons, very beautiful."

Xia Zhi Taoxin said that the three children were all sleeping soundly, especially a certain leader who couldn't be woken up by a thunderbolt, it would be too lonely for her to go shopping alone, why not take a walk in the palace first.

"I heard a few legends about the Botisi Festival yesterday, and I found it very interesting about the 'sky lanterns carrying souls'," Xia Zhitao said, "I wonder how long this festival has been?"

The steward thought for a moment, and said: "It should be more than a hundred years, but before it was just a sky lantern, and the ribbon was said to be added by the princess."

Xia Zhitao listened carefully, nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "The idea of ​​the princess is really novel and interesting, and the festival has suddenly become much more lively."

It was meant to be a compliment, but after hearing her words, the steward sighed a long time: "Princess... since the queen left, it is not easy to support such a big cloud by herself."

Xia Zhitao hurriedly said, "Sorry."

The steward waved his hand and said, "Don't tell others that the princess is indeed stubborn and doesn't listen to advice, but she is not bad at heart."

"About 15 years ago, the Queen went to the border town of the Western Regions, but encountered a storm on the way, and lost contact since then. Since then, the Princess has taken over Yunji City, which the Queen is in charge of."

The steward paused, and sighed, "Now you have seen it too. Among the vast Western Regions, Yunji is the richest and most prosperous, and the caravans to and from it far exceed those of the other five cities."

According to what he said, every Botisi Festival, the little princess would lead everyone in the palace to the city gate, and personally put the sky lantern tied with ribbons into the sky, hoping to see her mother again one day.

It's a pity that countless money was spent, countless teams were hired, and the people sent out went through the barren desert time and time again, following the Queen's route to find the past, but they still couldn't find a trace of the wreckage of the convoy, let alone bring back the remains.

Legends are just legends after all.

There is no cut off moon wheel, no sky lantern that can carry the soul, only the convoy lost forever in the wilderness, and the people who live with humble prayers and vain beliefs.

Once a year, Botisi released a sky lantern for 15 years and waited alone for 15 years for someone who would never come back.

.

"Princess Yuan is also a poor man."

Xia Zhitao went to the next room to visit, and told Wang Yan what she had heard before, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart: "I have been searching hard for 15 years, just for one answer, one result."

Wang Yan was also a little bit embarrassed, she lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "My parents were slaughtered by Shura Dao, I can understand her feelings."

Xia Zhitao patted her on the shoulder lightly, and comforted her, "Let's go to release the sky lantern together tonight."

Wang Yan made a small "hmm".

When Jin Li opened the door and came out, she saw Xia Zhitao sitting at the table chatting with Wang Yan, and she felt extremely relieved: Under her tireless "teaching", Wang Yan finally knew how to hold the correct thigh, which was not easy.

Jin Li walked over at a leisurely pace, pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "Junior Sister wakes up so early, where is Sister Zhang Kuang?"

...What the hell is this called.

It was only because of Zhang Kuang's absence that Jin Li dared to address him in such a random way, and he had to bend down in front of him, and respectfully called "Master Teacher".

Xia Zhitao took a sip of tea and said, "She hasn't woken up yet, she always wakes up late, don't go into the room to disturb others."

Jin Li pursed her mouth and lazily snatched a cup of tea, she didn't sip it very carefully, she swallowed it whole, like drinking plain water.

"I just talked to Wang Yan in detail," Xia Zhitao said briefly, "Princess Yuan has no malicious intentions, and it will be fine if we stay until the end of the Botisi Festival."

"It doesn't matter if you stay longer." Jin Li said leisurely, "Yesterday, my lord leader and I dug at least ten bags of gems, and tonight I will dig a few more bags by myself."

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Wang Yan was indignant, and whispered: "Miss Jin Li is ungrateful, and as soon as the leader said he would come to help, he immediately drove me away."

"Heh, sister Zhang can dig up ten walls with a stick of incense, what about you?" Jin Li glanced at her and said disdainfully, "You can't even dig out a single piece of amber."

Xia Zhitao listened from the side, feeling physically and mentally exhausted: "You are Yashan disciples, can you maintain Yashan's demeanor and dignity?"

Facts have proved that for Jin Li, Yashan's demeanor is not worth mentioning in front of money, and money is the last word no matter whether he cultivates immortality or not.

Jin Li's eyes are full of her grand plan to get rich overnight, Xia Zhitao just feels a headache, so she simply doesn't bother to talk to her, and seeing that the sky is bright outside, she walks back to the next door to see the leader.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the original glutinous rice dumpling had collapsed, Zhang Kuang sat cross-legged in the quilt, rubbing his long hair in a daze: "Good morning."

"Are you awake?" Xia Zhitao squatted down beside her, and said with a smile, "Hurry up, it's already bright like this."

Zhang Kuang still hadn't reacted a bit, and said softly "Oh", his voice was a little hoarse, with the tiredness of not waking up: "Okay."

Xia Zhitao couldn't help laughing, smoothed her long hair, and went out to ask the maidservants of Yunzhu Palace for a basin of hot water.

When she came back with the small basin, Zhang Kuang had already changed his clothes, and was sitting quietly at the table, wearing a dark black robe, with indifferent and cold eyes.

...still in a dazed state of not waking up.

Covering his face with a hot towel, his consciousness finally came back a little. Zhang Kuang pulled a hairband and tied Rumo's long hair casually, and said, "By the way, what did the princess say?"

Xia Zhitao briefly recounted what happened last night to her, Zhang Kuang half-supported his chin, and asked in surprise, "Huh? I saved her?"

"Why are you surprised?" Xia Zhitao said coolly, "People admire you so much, you look at you, and you are ashamed to say that you are not good-looking. You have picked a basket full of peach blossoms. I don't know if other than Princess Yuan, you will suddenly jump Princess Zhao, Princess Wu, and Princess Le—"

Zhang Kuang panicked: "No, no, this..."

She said depressedly: "I would snatch the master's wine every day in the demon forest. After I got drunk, I was dizzy and basically didn't remember what I had done."

Xia Zhitao smiled but said: "I don't remember, right? Princess Yuan remembers clearly. Yuan Rufei has thought about you for so long, and has missed you for so long. , you really don't have the slightest heartbeat?"

Zhang Kuang was stunned: "But...I..."

Xia Zhitao was in a suit, and Zhang Kuang couldn't speak to her at all, so he could only sneak a look at her with his pitch-black eyes, showing a pitiful look.

As soon as she put on this expression, Xia Zhitao lost all temper, and felt that what was she doing jealously, wasn't she just angry with herself.

.

Zhang Kuang woke up too late, after lunch in Yunzhu Palace, she followed Xia Zhitao, walked out slowly, and said, "What are your plans for today?"

"Let's go shopping in the street, let's put sky lanterns together at night." Xia Zhitao smiled, "It's rare to come to the Western Regions to experience the local customs."

The plan was good, but when the foursome came out of the palace and onto the street together, things went awry.

They forgot that most of Yunji was against the law.

Zhang Kuang didn't wear a veil, and originally happily followed Xia Zhitao, but just after taking half a step, he was surrounded by a swarm of people.

"Master! Can you inscribe Tu Tianjiao!"

"Master! Take our Violent Tiger Sect to fight against Yashan together!"

"Master! We, Cangyan Palace, are willing to be at your command!"

And so on, emerge in endlessly.

Zhang Kuang was tightly trapped inside, unable to move even an inch, while the three of Yashan were squeezed to the back of the crowd in an instant, and they couldn't even see her shadow.

Zhang Kuang got a headache from being quarreled by a group of people, and his ears were buzzing. After holding back for a moment, he couldn't help it, and sternly shouted: "Shut up for me!!"

The majestic spiritual power suddenly exploded, and she held it backhand, and a sharp long sword condensed between her five fingers, and cut off half of the eaves of the neighboring shop with a vain swing.

Originally, he wanted to scare everyone, but Zhang Kuang forgot that the group of people were all little-known counter-teachers. Seeing the extent of her spiritual power, his eyes lit up instantly:

Look at this strength, this degree of destruction!

You are worthy of being insolent, and you are worthy of being the leader of the Demon Cult!

Seeing the anti-Taoists rushing up one after another, and being blasted out layer by layer, the three of Yashan were very helpless outside, and they couldn't help, so they could only eat melons and watch the show.

Zhang Kuang really had no choice but to turn into flower petals and run away without a trace. If she really wanted to hide, few people in this world would be able to find her.The Taoists were so disappointed, they dispersed angrily.

Xia Zhitao waited until Zhang Kuang's figure disappeared, so she and Wang Yanjinli walked around the street, and returned to Yunzhu Palace when it was getting late.

Just near the gate, a majestic shadow suddenly jumped down from the high wall. Ten layers of black gauze swayed away one after another. When he picked off the fence, it was the leader who had disappeared for a long time.

Holding a paper lantern in his arms, Zhang Kuang carefully tied an ivory ribbon on it, and ran towards Xia Zhitao with small steps: "Shall we light up the lantern together at night?"

Xia Zhitao nodded with a smile, and Wang Yan beside him was a little curious, and asked, "My lord, where have you been?"

Zhang Kuang said calmly: "I went back to the Demon Forest first, and seeing that it was still early, I visited all the other four cities in the Western Regions and found out some interesting news."

According to the leader who ran around without doing business, the escort mission they took over sounded easy, but in fact it was not that simple.

None of the disciple teams from the other four cities got the fragments, and all of them were trapped by their respective city lords for different reasons.

City Lord Huibo asked his disciples to copy ten scriptures by hand, but City Lord Chenci couldn't find anyone.The Lord of Pu'an looked at his kind heart and kind face, but ended up playing Tai Chi for a long time without knowing the whereabouts of the fragments.

The most formidable one is City Lord Chanyu, who is said to have directly offered [-] gold baht, which fooled the disciples of Yashan.

After hearing this, Jin Li sighed, "I heard that everyone is so miserable, so I feel fair."

Compared with the attitude of other city lords, Yuan Rufei can be regarded as amiable, let a few people eat, eat and play in Yunji City, life should not be too comfortable.

Zhang Kuang said: "Well, I saw your Jingtang Peak Master in the desert, meditating in a historic site."

But worrying about Gao Ze's strength, ranked fourth among the thirteen peaks of Yashan Mountain, Zhang Kuang didn't approach him, but only glanced at him from a distance.

"I always feel that there is something unreasonable."

Xia Zhitao thought about it: "Why did the city masters of the Western Regions make things difficult for Yashan's disciples, and why did Yashan search for this Xisheng fragment?"

Several people looked at each other, none of them could tell why. As the leader of the Demon Cult, Zhang Kuang had never heard of the "Xisheng fragments".

Xia Zhitao struggled for a while, but couldn't come to a conclusion, so she finally gave up and led the three children to release the sky lanterns.

.

Tonight there is not a single star, not a cloud, the long night is washed away by clear water, and the moon hangs high in the sky, covering the desolate desert with a layer of frost and snow.

According to the usual practice, Yuan Rufei led a group of people to release sky lanterns in front of the city, and happened to meet the four of them face to face, and after saying hello, they left.

Jin Li likes to join in the fun, dragging Wang Yan to the market where the crowds gather, while Zhang Kuang drags Xia Zhitao to the city wall of Yunji.

Zhang Kuang found a remote corner, and they sat side by side on the edge of the city wall, each holding a paper lantern tied with a ribbon.

"Since it's a festival of the Western Regions, then follow the rules of the Western Regions." Zhang Kuang whispered, "There's no point in using spiritual power."

Xia Zhitao smiled, turned her head slightly to look at her, and said, "Then what should you do?"

"I found this on purpose."

Zhang Kuang took out a small fire sickle from the pendant, and waved it at her a little proudly: "I'll help you."

With a soft "hiss", tiny fireworks were lit on the small firewood, falling like stars into Xia Zhitao's lantern, and carefully lit the red candle for her.

Xia Zhitao frowned and smiled, her brows and eyes were haloed and soft, and even her voice was tinged with warmth, "Thank you."

Zhang Kuang also lit the sky lantern in his hand, and then carefully blew out the match.

She held the edge lightly, and the oil paper was filled with lights. As soon as she let go, the sky lantern rose slowly and sank into the dark night.

Those who practice Taoism are high above, never looking down at all living beings in this world, never knowing that there are legends, admiration, belief, and countless freshness in this mortal world.

Seven emotions and six desires, joys and sorrows, even if it is only a short life of a mortal, it is more colorful than the long and monotonous road of cultivation.

It was clearly an extremely dark night, but the city was gradually lit up, and the sky lanterns tied with ribbons went up, one person after another, one after another.Lamps are connected to lamps, candles are connected to candles, burning open the long silent night, and blowing down the "stars" all over the sky.

Zhang Kuang slightly raised his head, his dark eyes were full of lights, like the dawn of the Milky Way.

She raised her hand, pointed to the light spots in the distance, and whispered, "Look, Zhitao, those two lights belong to us."

Xia Zhitao chuckled lightly: "Well, it's ours."

The sky lanterns of the two people are next to each other, and they rise up with thousands of sky lanterns, which are pulled high and far away by the cold wind, and embroidered into the vast darkness.

.

The bustling and bustling Yunji City in the past was silent at this moment. They sat side by side, with a little chill pouring into their sleeves, and their black hair was a little messed up by the wind.

The two sat by the city wall for a long time, until the flying sky lantern floated far away, gradually blurred in the dark night, and turned into hazy and thin light spots.

Zhang Kuang didn't speak all the time, she looked into the distance quietly, suddenly she looked puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Zhitao, will there be a caravan today?"

Xia Zhitao didn't understand: "Huh?"

This question is asked for no reason, inexplicable.Xia Zhitao pondered for a moment, then seriously replied: "According to common sense, there shouldn't be any."

She said: "But considering that the Botisi Festival is limited to the Western Regions, other regions don't know about it. It is not ruled out that the Central Plains caravan or the Southern Xinjiang caravan forgot to consider this and choose the possibility of traveling today."

After analyzing Zhang Kuang's question, Xia Zhitao paused, inevitably a little curious: "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Zhang Kuang said: "Look over there."

She raised her finger and pointed to the distance, pointing at the dark desert with her fingertips, and said doubtfully: "Among the stacked sand ridges, there are some lights."

The author has something to say: Zhang Kuang: I didn’t expect it, my eyesight is 2.0
