blues paradox

Smiling silently watching the relationship between Xiu and Lan Tiao, Mo Xiao patiently waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and then said softly, "Actually, I only have one piece of advice, please leave Phoenix Valley as soon as possible, if you don't want to sleep here forever if."

"Oh? How do you say that? Is it possible...Elder Mo Xiao dislikes my father and me for disturbing everyone's cleanliness?" Lan Tiao was a little annoyed after just being trained. Because of this, it became even colder, "Then you can say it directly, why pretend to be a threat?"

"The guest thinks this is a threat?" Mo Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, apparently he also understood that the blue tone was just an angry statement.He sat down opposite Xiu and Lantiao, and continued, "Even though the Phoenix family has withdrawn from the demon world for many years, people in the world should still remember that the Phoenix is ​​not a hospitable creature. You must have doubted it before, right? The location is not so difficult to find, and it is not necessarily difficult to enter, so why has no one entered the Phoenix Valley for thousands of years, or...why has there never been any rumors about the Phoenix Valley?"

"You killed those intruders." Xiu replied flatly, since it is impossible for no one to enter, then only the dead cannot leave and cannot reveal the secret.

"Although I don't really want to admit it, in fact, it is true." Mo Xiao's smile was slightly bitter, and he lowered his head slightly, "I don't know when, even if it is not kind, it will definitely not be kind." The Phoenix Clan, which easily hurts living beings, would actually commit massacres for the sake of keeping the hermitage secret. If the ancestors who gave birth to our Phoenix Clan knew about it, how heartbreaking it would be!"

"Then what do you mean? Did your conscience let us go?" Blues interrupted him sarcastically. He believed that Mo Xiao, an elder, would remind them so kindly, otherwise, how could no one have escaped before them?

"Maybe you won't believe it, but I did sincerely advise every intruder I met. They either didn't believe it, or they had no way to escape, and those with weak magic power who entered by chance were even more so. I was slaughtered the moment I entered." Mo Xiao stood up, his smile had returned to the calm and kindness it was when we first met, and he said: "That's all I have to say, I just need to be honest, and I don't expect you Trust me, you can figure it out yourself."

After finishing speaking, Mo Xiao muttered something again in a low voice, and the faint water patterns around him disappeared in a flash. Ren Qing just raised his head and glanced in their direction. With a loud voice, "Elder Renqing?"

However, Ren Qing seemed to have not heard it, and said coldly in another empty direction, "I said, are you finished? You keep chattering!"

"What the hell did you let him see?" Lan Tuo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Choose a random scene, in fact, I don't know." Mo Xiao still smiled kindly. He walked over and patted Ren Qing on the shoulder. Lan Tiao felt a subtle wave of magic power in the air. Let's go.Sure enough, Renqing dodged the hand that was patted on her shoulder, and then, as if she didn't see the existence of Mo Xiao, she swept across the two of them with her empty and cold eyes without a trace of warmth. , and then left the hall without looking back.

"What does he mean?" Lan Tiao looked at Ren Qing's leaving back in puzzlement, and felt that this person was inexplicable since the first meeting, or was it that the illusion hadn't been completely solved yet?

"Maybe I forgot to tell you guys before..." Mo Xiao spread his hands and smiled wryly, "Ren Qing doesn't seem to like me very much, or should I say, all these years, he completely treats me like nothing."

"From a certain point of view, this is a good special treatment." Lan Tuo tilted his head and smiled faintly, "At least he won't trouble you."

"Hehe, sort of..." Thinking of those people in the valley who were constantly being provoked by Ren Qing, Mo Xiao smiled slightly, raised his hand to indicate a direction, and said jokingly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the guest room. Willing to rest on a branch."

"Thank you." Xiu said with a light smile, and before leaving, he glanced through the heavily concealed palace gate with a half-smile.

It is said that it is a guest room, but in fact it is just passing through the long corridor of the side hall to a small quiet bamboo forest. Several bamboo houses are close together, and there are still some fresh grass roots left in the soil in front of the door. The place has been abandoned for a long time, and has just been briefly tidied up.After Mo Xiao said some polite words and gave some detailed instructions on the taboos of the Phoenix Valley, he left in a hurry, as if the Great Elder had asked him for something temporarily.

Lan Tuo didn't enter the room in a hurry, but quietly leaned against the thin bamboo on one side, and entered with Xiu after he used his magic power to check that there was no special formation in the room.

The objects in the house are very simple, a bamboo bed, a bamboo table, and a set of tea sets on the table. There is still a faint white smoke in the cup, which is obviously just brewed; there is a half-person in the corner. The tall bamboo bucket is filled with clean water, and there is a bamboo lid buckled on it to avoid dust pollution.

Of course, those phoenixes couldn't possibly know that Xiu and Lantiao were lovers, so they arranged two rooms, but Lantiao didn't go into the next room to see it at all, and it was supposed to be the same arrangement as here.

Although there was hot tea on the bamboo table, there were no chairs beside the table. Lan Tiao really didn't know whether to say that these phoenixes were careful or neglected, and sat on the bed with a cup of tea casually.The bamboo bed is very hard, only covered with a thin layer of blanket, which feels cold to the touch; the quilt is only two thin layers, with no down in the middle, unlike the high bed warm pillows used to be with Xiuzhu. Now that one looks at it like this, one loses the desire to sleep.

He took a sip of the tea, it wasn't high-quality, but there was a fragrance of mountains and forests floating on his lips and teeth.Bored, he raised his left hand and looked at it. The ring on the base of the finger was simple and elegant. The color of pure ink against the white and slender fingers became paler, as if they were transparent, and the blood flowing quietly under the skin could almost be seen.Everything was normal, and the ring didn't appear to be tightening or getting hot. So, is it true that no one is watching?

"They have other methods." As if seeing Blues' doubts, Xiu said flatly, "They used it on the way we entered the valley. It's a very convenient magic, but it's easy to break."

"Oh?" Recognizing the deep meaning in Xiu's words, Lan Tiao raised an innocent smile, and glanced at Xiu slightly teasingly, "I wonder what your father's plan is?"

"Night tour of the Phoenix Valley, Xiao Tiaoer thinks it's good?"

"Good suggestion, but..." Lan Tiao tilted her head cutely, put down the cup in her hand, and pointed out the window, "Could it be that father forgot, I can't see the difference between day and night in the Demon Realm? "

Indeed, there is no difference between day and night in the Demon Realm. The sky in the Demon Realm is covered with an unchanging blood-red symmetry all day long. There is no darkness, and there are no four seasons. It is like a static world, making people unaware of the passage of time, but...

"This is the Phoenix Valley." Looking at the bright and pure water-blue sky in the direction of Blues' finger, Xiu smiled mysteriously, "You will know about it at night."

Lan Tiao quickly realized what Xiu's inscrutable smile and the phrase "this is the Phoenix Valley" meant. The Phoenix Valley actually has nights!It is not the bright and clean night scene with the bright moon hanging high, nor is it the bright and deep night scene with the stars shining. The night in Phoenix Valley has no light, it is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers at all. The brightness of the light forms a stark contrast.

"Father, it's only now that I realize that I miss this kind of pure darkness."

I miss the night in the human world, I miss the rose garden that shines with silver gray under the bright moon, and I miss the countless starry nights, who wears a white robe and dances with the wind, and the messy silver is like a silver waterfall , the evil smile shone with a demagogic charm under the night light, making people unstoppable and astonished.

"Indeed, maybe the demon world also needs night, but people are too religious, so they can't ask for it."

Lan Tiao couldn't understand such logic, so he couldn't get what he wanted because of his belief, and he didn't intend to ask.Xiu always has his reasons, and these reasons are currently unknown to him, and he does not need to know them.It's not a question of ability, it's not a question of qualifications, it's time.Blue tune knows that the time difference between him and Xiusuo can never be made up, and no one can reverse time.

"Before we set off, father, can I ask how I can see in the dark? You know, maybe it's because there is no night at all, and the eyes of the demons have probably degenerated." There is no nervousness about not being able to see anything In panic, Blues tilted his head slightly, clutching Xiu's sleeve and chuckling at him.
