chronicle of court survival

At night, it began to rain outside Shangjing.

There has been a massacre here before, and the water mist that spread on the ground seems to be moist and bloody.

Xia Qing was not feeling well, so he didn't bother to go out at all. He lit a lamp by himself, lying sickly by the window and looking out.

After all, Shangjing used to be the capital of a country, and its prosperity remained the same as before.

When Lou Guanxue came in, what he saw was the gentle silhouette of the boy outlined by the candlelight, so quiet to the core, almost one glance calmed down the bloody madness surging deep in his soul when he came back from outside.

There was no one on the street, Xia Qing counted the drops of water from the corner of the eaves one by one, and one of them was blown by the wind and hit him crookedly in the eyes.He was startled, and with a mutter, he hurriedly covered his eyes. When he raised his hand, his sleeves fell down, revealing his thin wrists that seemed to be broken.

Lou Guanxue looked away and closed the door by the way.

Hearing the voice, Xia Qing turned around and asked in surprise, "Are you back?"

Lou Guanxue said "hmm".

Xia Qing was shocked to see him come back from the rain with his clothes and hair still wet.He was curious about something, so he asked directly: "I remember you didn't bring an umbrella, why doesn't it look like you've been drenched in the rain at all." The last time he was drenched in the rain, he fell ill for three days!

Lou Guanxue's robe flitted across the ground, sat opposite him, and casually said, "I haven't seen you for a day, and you want to ask me this?"

Xia Qing: "Of course not." He was stunned for a moment, and then said bluntly, "What happened to Lingxi after the village was burnt down?"

Lou Guanxue: "Don't worry, Xue Fuguang will pick him up soon."

Xia Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his attention to him again, and asked: "What did you do, it took so long? And what did you make Xiaoer stare at me and drink, really?" It's unpalatable—you didn't poison me, did you?"

Lou Guanxue chuckled: "Yeah, really smart, you guessed it all."

Xia Qing twitched the corner of her mouth: "Speak human."

Lou Guanxue glanced at him, and said with a casual smile, "You even suspect that I'm still drinking after being poisoned?"

Xia Qing choked, and said seriously: "I guess even if you poisoned me, it shouldn't be a fatal poison. After all, you don't need to trouble me if you want to kill me."

Lou Guanxue looked at him quietly for a long time, then laughed a few times in a very low voice, and lazily said, "It's true. Then do you want to guess what the poison is?"

What else is there to guess, Lou Guanxue's attitude is obviously playing tricks on him.

It seems that there is no poison, it should be medicine, but what kind of medicine tastes so strange, it must be weird.

But Xia Qing didn't want to keep asking, so he changed the subject and said awkwardly, "Oh, what did you do today?"

Lou Guanxue didn't answer his words, and idly tapped the table with her finger: "The topic you raised yourself, and you can't answer it, do you want to get away with it?"

Xia Qing: "..."

Lou Guanxue's eyes were dark, she fell on his face, and said lightly: "Xia Qing, if there is such a thing as duplicity in this world, I will force you to drink it every day."

Xia Qing scratched her hair, and said angrily, "Why am I being duplicity?! I cherish my life, why not doubt it reasonably?"

Lou Guanxue wrote lightly: "If you really cherish your life, you won't drink at all."

He raised his eyes and asked, "Is it that difficult to admit and trust me?"

"..."

Xia Qing decided not to provoke Lou Guanxue again.

Lou Guanxue is not someone to provoke! !

Either they are too lazy to talk to each other, or they make people crumble with every sentence.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. I was wrong, and I don't doubt you anymore."

He really felt that Lou Guanxue's phrase "it's so difficult to admit and believe in me" actually had another meaning, but he changed the word to "believe", which made it easier for him to accept.

Xia Qing said in a panic, "Okay, now you can tell me what you did today."

Lou Guanxue withdrew her gaze, her expression was cold, she lowered her eyes and said calmly: "I went to inquire about the news about the Emperor's Mausoleum of Xialiang."

After a pause, he answered another question by the way: "You drank my blood during the day."

Xia Qing's body was stiff, and his thoughts were completely shaken by the last sentence: "Your blood?!"

Lou Guanxue: "Yes."

Xia Qingren was dumbfounded, and asked softly in disbelief, "I drank your blood? Why?"

Lou Guanxue said indifferently: "Now you only have a soul without a body, if you use the Ananda sword rashly, it will only hurt your soul."

Xia Qing was stunned: "Then...your blood can help me heal the wounds on my soul?"

Lou Guanxue didn't seem to be bothered to say more on this: "Yes."

Xia Qing continued to stay where he was, his mind went blank, but his body had already grasped Lou Guanxue's hand involuntarily.

Lou Guanxue was a little stunned, he hated being touched by others so much, he frowned but didn't move away.

Xia Qing lowered his head, and as expected, he saw a scar on Lou Guanxue's wrist.

It was a random stroke, but it was shocking.Lou Guanxue is cruel to everyone, including herself.

So that bowl is full of his blood?

Xia Qing's heart trembled, and he touched the scar lightly with his fingers, only to feel panicked in his heart. He had never experienced such a strange feeling of confusion, and he didn't know what to do.

Xia Qing panicked and whispered, "I'll clean your wound."

Lou Guanxue withdrew her hand: "No need, it will get better on its own."

Xia Qing pursed her lips tightly and remained silent for a long time, before she said slowly: "Thank you. But I'm not seriously injured. I should be fine after staying for two days. You don't have to do this."

Lou Guanxue smiled: "Do you really think it will be better if you stay for two days?"

Xia Qing was discouraged and stopped talking.

Staying for two days will definitely not get better, after all, his body is still aching, as if being pricked by needles.

Xia Qing was weak: "Then I'll see the doctor tomorrow."

Lou Guanxue smiled, and commented: "You really don't understand Anandajian."

Xia Qing was confused: "What?"

Lou Guanxue said: "The Sword of Ananda was born in the beginning of time, and you are devoured by its sword intent. The only thing that can relieve the pain is my blood."

—Only my blood.

Xia Qing was stunned, and his fingers trembled violently.

...He no longer dared to ask who Lou Guanxue was.

He has asked countless times since he came out of the barrier, and Lou Guanxue has answered it many times, but there is never a definite answer that seems true or false.

Blood array and gods have almost become topics that they avoid tacitly.

"Then there is no other way." Xia Qing was depressed, and said in a muffled voice: "It's really not possible, just let me carry it by myself."

Lou Guanxue propped her chin up, and joked lazily: "You can even cry from the pain in Zhaixinglou, can you really handle this?"

It was only then that Xia Qing remembered the embarrassing incident when he possessed for the first time: "...Could it be that I've been drinking your blood?"

Lou Guanxue chuckled, her voice as cool as the night breeze: "Why, don't you want to drink? If you don't want to drink, you have to give it to me."

Xia Qing was speechless: "Did you understand what I mean! I don't want you to have bloodletting all day long! Don't you feel pain?" Who can stand bowl after bowl of bloodletting?

After hearing this, Lou Guanxue seemed to think of something, took a deep look at him, curled her lips, and said slowly, "Oh, it's not that there is no other way."

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, there is no such thing as absolute.

Xia Qing: "What is it? If you say no, it's over."

Lou Guanxue leaned down, raised Xia Qing's chin with her fingers, her black hair was wet and cold, her eyebrows and eyes were brightened by the lights, she approached his ear and said in a hoarse voice, "Sleep with me."

Xia Qing: "..."

Xia Qing: "..."

Lou Guanxue naturally took his expression as if the earth was falling apart, concealed the deep meaning suppressed in the dark eyes, smiled, and withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, "But then, your precious boy body will be gone."

Xia Qing sat down all at once, far away from him, and said incoherently: "Yes, yes, yes, er, it's not right. That's not called precious life, I just clean myself up, forget it, anyway, this method doesn't work, you'd better let me Endure it alone, I don't believe that Ananda Sword can make me die of pain."

He was so anxious that he spoke so fast, his face collapsed.

Lou Guanxue paused, looked at him with great interest, and said slowly: "I remember Song Guichen said that you practice the way of forgetting love."

Xia Qing was surprised: "You remember this?!"

Lou Guanxue said: "Taishang Wangqing needs you to cut off love?"

Xia Qing thought about it seriously: "...It shouldn't be necessary."

Xue Fuguang once said that being too ignorant of love is not the way of being ruthless, and as far as the first two forms are concerned, taishang wangqing has nothing to do with severing love.

Such things as ruthless and affectionate are actually very mysterious.

In many cases, the more stubbornly you pursue ruthlessness, the more you will be trapped by love, and your obsession will become a hindrance.

Lou Guanxue: "Then what are you afraid of?"

Xia Qing stammered: "...I'm not afraid."

Lou Guanxue responded lightly: "Well, you just don't want to face it. Just like you were unwilling to admit your relationship with Anandajian before, what you are best at is avoiding things related to yourself."

Depend on!Can you just shut up!

Xia Qing was in a mess.

This kind of chaos is not an emotional entanglement, but a real resistance from the depths of the soul.

Like a hard stone being smashed open, the closed world is torn apart, implicating the internal organs.

He stared at Lou Guanxue's thin lips, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth in a hurry, and said, "Shut up, don't talk."

"..." Lou Guanxue laughed angrily, his slender fingers directly grasped Xia Qing's wrist, and his voice was as cold as snow: "Xia Qing."

Xia Qing smashed the jar into pieces: "Okay, I just admit it."

He thought for a while, and then said in a probing tone: "But I think the problem may be in the Penglai swordsmanship, maybe the first page of the Penglai swordsmanship is that if you want to practice this skill, you must first leave the palace, is there such a possibility. "

Lou Guanxue stared at him for a long time, the smile on the corners of her lips lifted little by little, and said softly: "Then you have kept it from me for a long time."

Xia Qing: "Huh?"

Lou Guanxue sneered: "I didn't even know you were still an eunuch."

Xia Qing: "..."

He swallowed his impotent rage, and decided to stand on the moral high ground when chatting with Lou Guanxue.Although Lou Guanxue has no morals, this will not make him look embarrassed.

Xia Qing educated him: "Let's not say that I am not Tianxie. Even if I am, you can't laugh at others for their incompleteness."

Lou Guanxue was unmoved, with a calm expression: "Well, continue."

Xia Qing couldn't continue his education, as if he had returned to the day when Tianluo girl had failed in his promotion of the truth, goodness and beauty in the world.

He repeated the exact same words that day with a dull face, and said stiffly: "Are you going to sleep or not?!"

Lou Guanxue smiled lightly: "Sleep."

He raised his hand to untie the blue hairband, and then said coldly: "I have nothing to do with other people's incompleteness."

Xia Qing: "..."

indeed.

Lou Guanxue's extremely arrogant character, in a sense, treats all beings equally...with equal indifference.

"If you want to learn a lesson, then so be it."

After saying this, Lou Guanxue walked to the bed.

Xia Qing poured himself several cups of herbal tea to calm down.

What is a long lesson? !

It made him so delicate and afraid of pain.

How terrifying can the Ananda sword be!

Then in the middle of the night, Xia Qing really experienced what a real fire was like, burning her body in pain.

"..."

Row.
