Travel through the long dream millennium

The fire tree and the silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.

Thousands of lights and trees shine, and the bright moon comes one by one.

As soon as Fang arrived at the streets of Qingqiu Capital City, Gu Changli couldn't help being startled.Not only because of the magnificent and gorgeous picture in front of me, but also because of the deep familiarity it brings.

Young boys and girls in their young age, holding lamps of different shapes but most of them are very delicate, shuttled in twos and threes in the streets and alleys, laughing and laughing all over the place.

There is no Lantern Festival in the Tianyuan Continent. It has been a long time since Gu Changli has seen such a scene full of lanterns and dazzling lights.

Hu Li, who was standing not far from him, noticed the stunned expression on the former's face, which seemed a bit surprised, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.Waiting bitterly to wait outside the cave to meet the returning Gu Changli has all been rewarded. The corners of his mouth curled up indistinctly, as if to invite credit, and said, "This is a unique festival in Qingqiu. , called Qingming."

"Qingming?" Hearing this, Gu Changli raised his brows, the huge difference between the names of the two world festivals made him feel dumbfounded.

"Yes." Hu Li didn't notice Gu Changli's extremely brief expression change, and still introduced with great interest, "It was a great power of the Qingqiu clan thousands of years ago, he and his lover who will be with him for a lifetime When we met for the first time, it was because of a magic weapon in the shape of a lamp called 'Qingming', so we didn't know each other. Later, the husband and wife both flew away, and the family set up a magic weapon named after this period of time to commemorate this past event. This holiday."

As he spoke, he led Gu Changli to the place where dense crowds gathered.On the way, a boy in white and a girl in pink passed by by chance. They were clearly strangers, but the lanterns in their hands seemed to be inexplicably tied, and they were slightly tilted towards each other's position.

Passers-by who noticed this situation stopped one after another, with envious and happy smiles on their faces, and a few people even started booing.

"what happened?"

Gu Changli, who still didn't know much about this festival, was full of doubts on his face, his eyes fell on the two people surrounded by the crowd, their cheeks were as gorgeous as clouds, and he turned his head to ask Hu Li.Then he soon discovered that even this guy's eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

After being brought back to his senses by Gu Changli's question, he lingered on the two lanterns again for a while before he spoke, "On the Qingming Festival, there will be vendors selling lantern magic artifacts in the streets and alleys. There is not much difference in the lanterns used, but there is a chance to be attracted by another lantern after being lit, and guide the two people holding the lantern to meet. Such lanterns are called "Lingyin"... just the possibility of buying a Lingyin lantern It is very low, and there are often only a few cases in a year. It is said that if such two people get married, they will be blessed by heaven and grow old together." After speaking, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice, " The odds were low, but now someone bought a pair, it’s really annoying.”

Hearing his last mumbling, Gu Changli's eyes flashed a few hints of understanding, and he looked around even though the lanterns were not pulling each other, but there were still men and women who were chatting and approaching each other, and he understood the so-called Qingming Festival ——This is the alien version of Valentine's Day, reserved for those men and women who are just beginning to love each other to find their lovers and express their love to each other.As for the name of "Tianjuan", it's just a big gimmick, and it's a good advertising slogan for marketing.

He gave Hu Li a sideways glance with a half-smile, but Hu Li, who was already guilty of guilt, was even more embarrassed by his glance. He could only look wildly, and finally pointed at the topic, "Look, there is something wrong there." A few lantern sellers."

Noncommittal, he followed Hu Li who was barely trotting for a few steps. Gu Changli bought a lantern in the shape of a white rabbit from a benevolent old man, and earned a few words by the way, "My brother is so handsome. Praise for being able to hug a beauty back home".As for Huli, he is more likely to buy Lingyin by spreading out, and he has already gone to another middle-aged man.

Gu Changli waited for a long time at the lantern stand, and he was surrounded by people rubbing shoulders and crowds, so he naturally felt a little impatient.Thinking that Hu Li naturally had a way to find him, he pushed aside the crowd without a trace, planning to go to a secluded place to settle down.

As a result, before he had walked a few steps, he felt that the white rabbit lantern in his hand sank slightly, as if an invisible force was guiding him to a certain place.

Didn't it mean that Lingyin lanterns are very rare?

With a smile in his heart, Gu Changli also wanted to see who his "Heaven's Blessed" person was. Quan had a chance encounter, relaxed the strength in his hands, and walked forward following the increasingly obvious strength. OK.

Moth snow willow golden strands, laughter filled with dark fragrance.In the process of passing through the crowd, because of that extremely outstanding face, from time to time, a beautiful and delicate girl would talk to Gu Changli, her sparkling eyes were like the bright stars in the sky.For this, Gu Changli could only lift the unruly lantern in his hand to express his helplessness, and those girls only regretted it for a moment, and then went to find their ideal lovers in a free and easy manner.

Arrived.

When the pulling power of the Lingyin Lamp reached its peak, Gu Changli looked up in his heart... Then, the mild and gentle smile on his face stiffened little by little, and finally disappeared completely.

On the bank of the stream not far away, there is a man holding a fox lantern, and a woman nearby holding a lotus lantern, both of them are moving forward with the lanterns in their hands, as if they are all their own "spirits".

But this situation is absolutely impossible.

Hu Li had also sworn to him before that each Lingyin lantern has only a unique pairing, and getting it means "one pair for a lifetime".

In the current scene, it was obvious that someone had done something behind the scenes.

Looking at Hu Li holding a fox lamp not far away, standing pitifully, his face almost turning green, Gu Changli knew it all at once.

In the end, the farce was only settled after Hu Li secretly sent a voice transmission to the innocent Qingqiu sister who was lying on the gun, and spent a lot of money to buy a pair of lanterns in her hands with Gu Changli.

The original plan was extremely romantic, as if Tiancheng's plan had received Waterloo from the very beginning, and it was a complete defeat. Hu Li, the whole fox, was not well, so he could only follow Gu, who was walking freely and didn't know where he was going, dejectedly. After Chang Li, he felt sorry for himself.

Especially since Chang Li hadn't spoken a word to him since just now, this inevitably made the guilty Hu Li even more uneasy.

Secretly spurning the father who came up with such a bad idea, Hu Li sneaked a glance at the back of the young man who was upright and firm on his feet, with a fever on his face, and his voice was like a mosquito, "I asked people to keep an eye on that stall early in the morning. Know which lantern you bought."

"En." Gu Changli responded casually.

Hu Li, who was even more flustered, continued to explain intermittently, "Then I have already contacted a craftsman who specializes in making spirit lanterns, and asked him to prepare matching spirit lanterns for all the lanterns on the stall."

"..."

"If you don't show up for a long time, you will definitely feel impatient to leave. I will stand by this lover again, and wait for you who are led by the spiritual lamp to appear... Isn't there a saying in the world called 'marriages of thousands of miles are led by a thread'" , when the time comes, maybe you will agree to be with me as soon as you are moved." Speaking of this, Hu Li still couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "Who knows, the lantern you chose in Changli, unexpectedly, actually has another one. The supporting spiritual lamp..."

God knows that when Gu Changli didn't show up, when he heard the fox girl from Qingqiu happily tell his companion that he seemed to feel another spiritual lamp, he was also happy for the little girl, and he could count himself as witnessing a marriage.

As a result, the "third party" spirit lamp that appeared for the first time in the world was born-I still can't wait to find a wall to hit it.

This unlucky boy.

For this series of farces, Gu Changli could only shake his head and sigh secretly that Hu Li's luck was really bad.To say that this script is also a big one, if there is no ridiculous flaw, it can still make a few little girls who don't know the world dazed, it's not like a trick that this stupid fox can come up with.There must be someone behind the scenes.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Changli couldn't help but laugh at the guy whose background color was getting darker and darker, and whose entire capital was full of loveless, wishing to get into the hole.He stopped, and when the lost man was about to hit his back, he raised his hand and pointed towards a crowded ferry not far away, "What's going on there?"

Seeing that Chang Li was still willing to talk to him, it meant that he was not too angry with himself. Hu Li immediately cheered up and followed his fingers to look into the distance. lamp."

It was an extremely familiar thing, and Gu Changli was somewhat suspicious of whether there had been a senior time traveler in Qingqiu.

"If Changli is interested, let's go and have a look." Gu Changli noticed something strange, probably because of curiosity.Hu Li immediately suggested, "Write down the wish you want to achieve on the river lantern, then put it down at the ferry, and follow the river bank. There will be a special person to catch the river lantern at the next ferry. The desire to write will come true—although I know this is just a beautiful wish, but this activity is still very prosperous every year.”

"Won't just a random water-avoidance spell guarantee the smooth arrival of the river lantern?" Gu Changli was a little puzzled.

"It is customary not to use spells, it all depends on God's will." Speaking of this, Hu Li's expression was a little subtle, obviously thinking of his previous means of cheating.

The rare kind-hearted Gu Changli didn't intend to poke his scars any more, and waved towards the stall of the river lantern. At the same time, he threw down two low-grade spirit stones, and there were two river lanterns with red paper strips in the shape of boats. The light floated toward him.He casually threw one to Hu Li.

Hu Li, who took over the river lantern, took out a soft hair brush from the storage pouch, and after thinking for a while, was about to write down the words "I hope to learn from each other with my lover, love and never leave" on the red paper, but I don't know why Suddenly there was a hand.The soft and warm gaze was serious in front of him, and Gu Changli, who carefully wrote every word and stroke on the note, wandered around for a moment, but another thought came to him.

This time, Hu Li didn't even have to think anymore, and wrote quickly, in one go.

[I wish Changli will be blessed by heaven, be safe and happy, wish everything come true, and live a smooth life]

After finishing writing, he dried the ink on the note with a roll of zhenqi, and rolled it up immediately.Gu Changli moved a little faster than him, and at this moment he casually asked Hu Li, "What did you write?"

"Secret." Hu Li blinked triumphantly, "It won't work if you express your wish."

"Childish!" After giving him a blank look, Gu Changli concluded in this way.

"Why don't you talk to me, Changli?" Hu Li, who was evaluated as "childish", was not convinced.

"Don't worry about adults' affairs, children." After putting down the river lamp along the water, Gu Changli turned around and told him earnestly.

Hu Li: "..."

The current of this small river is not fast, Hu Li and Gu Changli waited downstream for a while before seeing the mighty river lantern troop, reflecting the water surface red, it is really beautiful.

In the end, the people who fished the river lanterns took a long time to count, but they found Gu Changli, but there was no sign of Hu Li, so they must have sunk on the way.

This incident made Hu Li depressed for a long time, until Gu Changli really didn't see such a dignified young master of Qingqiu getting so decadent because of such a small matter, and he asked him to have a supper before he was revived with full blood.That excited look made Gu Changli suspicious whether Qingqiu had withheld his food.

Finding a secluded small stall in a remote place with not many people, Gu Changli ordered two bowls of rice balls made of wine.

While waiting patiently, Gu Changli coughed and said, "Wake up."

"I've always been sober." After being reminded by Gu Changli, Hu Li reached out and knocked on the table, endured and endured, but still couldn't help laughing and showing his big white teeth, "I'm just so happy."

"It would be great if Changli could always treat me like this."

"Take you to dinner every day?"

"........."

Hu Li, who was almost not choked by Gu Changli's answer, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly, "I am very happy that you agreed to come to Qingqiu with me today."

"If it was in the past, you would definitely tell me that you want to cultivate, kill the enemy, and get information from all over the world. You would never spend your time on such 'boring and meaningless' trifles."

"You are like a strong bow that is always tensed, ready to kill monsters and enemies. You regard yourself as a bloodless weapon. However, if the bowstring is stretched for too long, it will break. Break."

"Don't bear everything alone anymore. Even if you don't want to accept me, friends can give each other their backs and let me help you."

Hu Li held Gu Changli's right hand that was on the table in his palm, the latter's hand was a little smaller than his, and the tentacles were warm, delicate and moist like jade.

The lights are dark and bright, the people are quiet and desolate, the south building is at the top of the corner, and the west alley is under the moon.

The person he was thinking of was sitting quietly on the wooden chair beside him, with his eyes downcast, and Hu Li could even see the eyelashes flickering constantly, as if they were twitching his own heart.He turned his heart away, closed his eyes, bent down and approached Gu Changli's face recklessly.

Then, he bumped into something hard, cold, and lifeless.

"Wait in a hurry?"

Tilting his head, Gu Changli, who did not know when he had broken free from his bondage, handed the bowl of rice balls in his hand to Huli's eyes with pity, "You almost pounced on me."

"..." Who wants to jump up and eat this thing, I want to eat you! !

Hu Li, who always comes from his heart (counseling) when it comes to a critical moment, hasn't the guts to speak out.The previous action similar to a forced kiss had exhausted the courage he had accumulated for a long time, and the next thing he could do was to silently eat the steaming meatball without any taste, it tasted like chewing wax.

Gu Changli propped his chin with one hand on the opposite side of the table, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Hu Li, who was crying and turning his grief and anger into appetite, suddenly heard a sigh-like whisper from the opposite person, "Little fox, stay in Qingqiu, don't come to me again."

"If you come to me again, you will die."

The familiar words made his eyes widen suddenly, and he was about to raise his head to say something, but he felt dazed for a while, and his eyelids seemed to be getting heavier.

"!!"

Before he fell into the boundless darkness, the only thing he could do was to try his best to stretch out his weak right hand to grab the man's sleeve and stop him from leaving.

He didn't succeed.

Gu Changli, who took a small step back to avoid Hu Li's palm, turned slightly sideways, and his eyes fell on a place that seemed empty at first glance, "In the next few days, senior, please take care of Hu Li, and don't tell him to run around."

The air in that place gradually distorted, and the fox who appeared in front of Gu Changli had a complex expression, "That silly boy really likes you."

"I know."

"You can stay in Qingqiu, at least it's still safe here."

"I know."

"The Nascent Soul expert who is less than 30 years old has a bright future and a bright future."

"I know."

"Since you are already so determined, why do you still..."

Despair mixed with a little hope is more disturbing than pure despair.

This time, Gu Changli was silent for a long time.

"It's a farewell, both to them and to myself."

"Goodbye."

When Gu Changli's figure completely disappeared in front of his eyes, the joyful movement of Yanyan talking and laughing on the street could be heard from time to time, which made this remote place even more desolate.Hu Wei poked at his stupid son, who was frowning even though he was unconscious, with worried and frightened brows, and sighed, "Boy, you have really good eyesight, but you're really not good."

"Who told you that the person you like has a heart of stone, dad can't help you this time."
