a man who appears once a year

Ruan Qiuping glanced down at his watch and found that he had passed out for a whole day, which meant that there were still two days before the soup would expire.

Ruan Qiuping hurriedly found a cup to fill up the memory soup, and was going to find Yu Huan.

But he ran to the cave in the back mountain and knocked on the door of Yu's house, but he didn't see Yu Huan.

The members of the Yu family said that Yu Huan had disappeared for two days.

Ruan Qiuping didn't know where else to look for Yuhuan, and finally sat down next to the apple tree in the back mountain with the bowl of Reminiscence Soup in his arms.

Looking at the apple tree, Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered the appearance of Yu Huan building an enchantment beside the apple tree to protect it that day.

Now the enchantment is gone.

Ruan Qiuping looked up at the sky, only to realize that the rain had stopped.

He thought about it carefully, and remembered that the rain seemed to have stopped since he woke up from the hospital.

The source of this heavy rain was the blizzard in Mangyi Snow Mountain. Now that the rain has stopped, it means that the blizzard has also stopped.

Ruan Qiuping let out a long sigh.

He was indeed a mildew god, and he just braved the snowstorm to pick the thousand-year-old lotus, but who knew that the snow would stop by itself as soon as the thousand-year-old lotus was picked back.

Ruan Qiuping was really exhausted. Sitting on the ground now, he felt as if his bones were being broken inch by inch, and bonded inch by inch.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ruan Qiuping fell asleep drowsily while holding the water glass filled with Yiqingtang.

Dimly, he seemed to be dreaming of Yu Huan again.

In the dream, he seemed to forget to wear the ring when he went down to earth one day.

Yu Huan was a little angry, so he comforted Yu Huan and said, "I will wear this ring every day from now on, for the rest of my life!"

Yu Huan suddenly laughed: "Ruan Ruan lied to me."

"I kid you not!"

"...Ruan Ruan's life is so long, but mine is so short. After I die, Ruan Ruan still has a long, long way to go. How could she wear this ring all the time?"

Ruan Qiuping in the dream made a bold decision. He leaned into Yu Huan's ear and said to him, "I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"After you die, I will find you."

A daze flashed in Yu Huan's eyes, and he slowly said: "I became a ghost... Will Ruan Ruan come to me too?"

"Why do you have to become a ghost? After you die, you will become a fairy. When the time comes, I will go find you, and we can meet every day."

Yu Huan hugged him tightly: "No matter what Ruan Ruan said is true or not, I'm very happy."

"It's true." Ruan Qiuping emphasized.

The warm environment suddenly changed, and Ruan Qiuping in the dream appeared on the high platform.

Si Ming stared coldly, Qiyue also stood aside, and even stood beside a group of big leaders whom Ruan Qiuping had never seen before.

Qiyue said to him coldly: "Ruan Qiuping, you ignore the rules of heaven, wantonly leaked the secrets of immortals' experience of calamity, and hindered immortals from experiencing calamities. You will be punished for eternity and not allowed to enter the Huamen Gate again, and Yu Huan, who has experienced calamities in the mortal world, will be punished for his calamity." The process is invalidated, and I will re-enter the world on another day!"

Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes abruptly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

...Fortunately it was a dream.

But before he had time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he suddenly found a person standing in front of him.

Ruan Qiuping raised his head in a daze, and found that it was Jishen Yuhuan.

Ruan Qiuping was obviously the one who had just come down from Mangyi Snow Mountain, but Yu Huan's body was covered with heavy snow, and the thumb-thick chunks of snow could be picked off with a light touch on the hem of his clothes.

Not only that, but there was also a lot of snow on his hair, and the black hair was covered with a whole layer of snow white.

He was cold all over, his complexion was pale, and he was shivering from head to toe.

——As if the whole person has just been dug out of the snow.

Ruan Qiuping hastily put down the water glass in his hand, stood up and held Yu Huan's hands—the hands were cold and red, and the moment he held them, it was like holding ice cubes.

"...Where did you go? How did you make it like this?"

This is Jishen, can Jishen still be in such a mess?

"Your friend Chen Hai came to me and said that you went to Mangyi Snow Mountain alone, it might be dangerous, so I went to find you."

Ruan Qiuping: "Then it wouldn't be like this, what about your mana?"

Yu Huan lowered his head, coughed lightly, his snow-stained hair hung down on his face, making his pale face even more frightening: "I was afraid that you might have an accident on a snowy mountain in a rainy day, so I used magic to stop Mang Yi. The blizzard in the snow mountain is just a little weak now, it's not a problem."

Actually used magic to stop the blizzard in Mangyi Snow Mountain? !

How much spiritual energy this will consume!

Ruan Qiuping wanted to cast a spell to make Yu Huan warm up, but his spiritual power is also weak now, and he failed to cast a warming spell five times.

In a panic, he had no choice but to hold Yu Huan's hand and press his cheek against it.

Yu Huan rolled his eyes and smiled: "Ruan Ruan is so warm."

"You are too cold." Ruan Qiuping said.

Ruan Qiuping stayed in Mangyi Snow Mountain for so long, although he has recovered a little now, his body is actually much cooler than ordinary people.

The sky began to rain again.

Yu Huan looked up at the sky, smiled, and said, "It should be that the spell has failed."

Ruan Qiuping put the water cup containing Yiqing soup back into the Qiankun bag, and then took out an umbrella.

Ruan Qiuping turned to look at Yu Huan, and asked, "Have you brought an umbrella?"

Yu Huan blinked, then shook his head: "No."

So Ruan Qiuping raised the umbrella in his hand above the heads of the two, and went to the cave with Yu Huan to shelter from the rain.

Walking into the cave, Ruan Qiuping suddenly found a nearly one-meter-long yellow cloth on the table, on which were written the five big characters of bright red and familiar Supreme Good Luck Talisman.

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment: "...is this?"

"This is the Supreme Good Luck Talisman." Yu Huan smiled, "If the format is too small, some characters cannot be written on it, and the luck that can be infused is also small, so I use a large size talisman Write a talisman on it, and then use a spell to shrink it back to normal size."

But... the writing on it was all written in Yu Huan's blood.

He originally thought that such a small rune could be completed with only a few drops of Yu Huan's blood.

But I didn't expect this talisman to be so big.

So how much blood and spiritual power will be used for this one-meter-long talisman?

Ruan Qiuping was almost suffocated.

He looked at Yu Huan and said: "...I'm sorry, I didn't know that writing this talisman took so much effort. If I... If I knew, I wouldn't let you write it for me."

"I voluntarily wrote it to Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan smiled.

Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, so he turned around and said, "...you go to bed and rest, and I'll make you a pot of hot tea."

... Just spent a lot of blood and spiritual power writing that supreme good luck charm, and then changed the weather of the entire heaven with a posture against the sky.

He is the god of auspiciousness and not the god of thunder and rain. It would take a lot of spiritual energy to cast spells across borders. No wonder he was so weak that even his whole body was cold.

Ruan Qiuping thought, Yu Huan is probably the most embarrassing god after the gods were conferred in the entire heaven, isn't he the god of good fortune?Ruan Qiuping couldn't see where his luck showed up at all.

……correct.

Ruan Qiuping remembered that Yu Huan had already sealed off the good luck in his whole body.

"Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan who was lying on the bed suddenly asked, "I heard from Chen Hai that you went to Mangyi Snow Mountain to pick thousand-year-old lotus, what are you doing to pick thousand-year-old lotus?"

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment, and then said: "...in order to make lotus seed pills, to increase cultivation."

Liansheng Dan is a kind of elixir with thousand-year-old lotus as the main ingredient, which can increase power.

"Then why are you in such a hurry, you have to catch the rain, snow and storm?"

Ruan Qiuping was silent for a while, and made up a good excuse: "...my mother's birthday is going to be in two days. She was transformed from a water lotus. Liansheng pill is very useful to her, so I want to use lotus Dan made her a present."

"Then have you found the Millennium Lotus?"

"No."

The corners of Yu Huan's lips curled up suddenly, and he took out a thousand-year-old lotus from his bosom: "Fortunately, I found it, Ruan Ruan took it."

Ruan Qiuping stared blankly at the flower, then at Yu Huan, but didn't reach out.

"I found it by accident when I was looking for you, and it's useless to me. Ruan Ruan just takes it, no burden."

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head, took the thousand-year-old lotus, and said, "...Thank you."

The water is on.

Ruan Qiuping walked over to make tea for Yu Huan.

It is indeed my mother's birthday in two days, but my mother doesn't like to take Lianshengdan. She always feels that eating those things is like eating her own family.

Ruan Qiuping didn't want to continue lying, so he quietly took out the Yiqing soup from the Qiankun bag, poured it into the pot and heated it.

"What is Ruan Ruan cooking?"

After waiting for the soup to heat up for a while, Ruan Qiuping walked up to Yu Huan with the brewed tea, and lied, "...it's a cold-dispelling medicine soup, which was prepared by the Immortal Doctor, but you need it more than I do now."

It's rare that Ruan Qiuping took the initiative to show kindness, and Yu Huan didn't refuse, but the smile in your eyes became more gentle: "Thank you, Ruan Ruan."

Sitting in front of Yu Huan, Ruan Qiuping watched Yu Huan drinking hot tea one after another, and couldn't help but think of the Immortal Ziming who found the tea too strong at one moment and weak at another in his mind.

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan's profile.

He thought that Yu Huan and Immortal Ziming should be different.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at the Reminiscence Soup in the pot, and asked cautiously: "...Yu Huan, I remember you said that you don't remember anything after you were five years old in the mortal world, so what about the lost one? A memory, are you curious?"

Yu Huan stopped drinking tea and nodded, "There will be some."

Ruan Qiuping blinked, his palms were sweating, and he asked nervously, "...then you... want to remember?"

Yu Huan gently put the tea bowl on the table next to him: "Do you want to tell the truth?"

Ruan Qiuping nodded.

Yu Huan lowered his eyelids: "Actually, I'm a bit cowardly. I've lived for more than 200 years. Although I can't say that I can't respond to every request, it's still smooth sailing. But when the world went through calamities, the five years with memories alone made me Feeling...terribly bad."

He sighed, and continued: "Ruan Ruan, do you know how I reacted in my heart when I came down from the Conferred God Stage and knew that I had received 21 golden rays?"

"...What's the reaction?" Ruan Qiuping's voice was hoarse.

"Fortunately." Yu Huan's tone even brought a bit of self-mockery, "I'm actually glad that I have forgotten the memory of the mortal world. After all, I really can't imagine that a life that can afford 21 golden lights should be What a catastrophe."

"...If...if, if in that period of life, there are also important things, happy things?" Ruan Qiuping clenched his palms.

"But I still received 21 golden lights." Yu Huan said slowly, "If I experienced more joy than pain in the world, it shouldn't be the result."

Ruan Qiuping's lips trembled.

In fact, he didn't want to ask any more questions, but he still opened his mouth and said weakly: "...but that is your own life experience after all."

But Yu Huan shook his head: "Based on the five years I have memories, I feel that the process of living in the human world is not so much an experience of mine, it is more like a dream, a nightmare of mine."

"In this dream, everything is vain. The me in that dream lived in a different environment from the me now, so I developed a different character and temperament... It's like..."

Yu Huan paused, then said: "... like oranges and trifoliate oranges. Yanzi said that oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges. Is the life experience of oranges the life experience of oranges? I am afraid that even species It's all different."

"The me in the mortal world and the me now have different experiences, different personalities, and different lives. Does Ruan Ruan really think that the me in the mortal world is still me?"

As Yu Huan was talking, he suddenly realized that Ruan Qiuping hadn't opened his mouth for a long time.

Ruan Qiuping stood beside him with his head down, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

Yu Huan: "Ruan Ruan, why are you asking this?"

"...Chen Hai, I lost my memory before I became an immortal, and I was hesitating whether to get it back. I couldn't make up my mind, so I came to ask you. After all, you have had similar experiences." Ruan Qiuping paused and looked up. Xiang Yuhuan said, "The medicinal soup is ready, I'll bring it for you."

After speaking, he turned to get the warm soup.

Ruan Qiuping took a clean bowl and slowly poured the Reminiscence Soup into it.

He poured the soup very slowly.

He looked at the soup without blinking, as if he wanted to see other things through the soup.

The soup fell into the bowl like a trickle, and the splashing sound was very pleasant.

But Ruan Qiuping's ears were full of other voices.

He heard Si Ming say that immortals are easy to be emotional after going down to earth, but when they return to the immortal position, their hearts will become firmer. Once found, the obsession will fade away.

He heard the cook say that the one who loved that fairy was Zi Ming, a mortal. After becoming a fairy, the mortal has different experiences, different vision, and different temperament. How could he still like the original girl?

He heard Chen Hai say, your love for Yu Huan is not between lovers, so why are you obsessed with making him remember your love for you?

He heard Yu Huan say that the process of going through calamities in the human world was like a nightmare, and it was a blessing not to remember those experiences.

He heard Yu Huan say:

——He who has experienced calamities in the mortal world is not him.

The last drop of Yiqing soup at the bottom of the pot was also poured into the bowl.

Ruan Qiuping took the bowl and walked towards Yu Huan step by step.

The red fruit that Qinggenniao picked up from somewhere rolled down in the middle of the road. Ruan Qiuping glanced at the red fruit out of the corner of his eye, but stepped on it with his left foot.

"careful!"

Yu Huan's reminder came almost at the same time as the sound of the porcelain bowl falling to the ground.

Ruan Qiuping fell to the ground with a slap.

The memory soup in his hand spilled all over the floor.

Yu Huan hurriedly got off the bed to help him.

Ruan Qiuping patted his body, looked at the soup on the ground, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was terribly distressed: "Ah, the soup has spilled, what should I do? This cold-dispelling soup is very useful."

"It's fine if I don't drink, my body has almost recovered now." Yu Huan said.

"No!" Ruan Qiuping sighed, helped Yu Huan to the bed again, and said solemnly, "Wait, I still have some at home, I'll get you some more!"

After finishing speaking, he cleaned up the mess on the ground, turned around and walked out of the cave.

Before leaving, he opened the umbrella and waved to Yu Huan with a bright smile on his face: "I'll be back soon, you wait for me!"

The moment Ruan Qiuping walked out of the cave.

The smile on the corner of his lips suddenly fell.

He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips straight, held the black umbrella, and walked forward step by step.

He was going to go home, but as he walked, he came to the apple tree.

Under the tree is the grave of mortal Yu Huan.

Ruan Qiu calmly thought about what would have happened if he hadn't spilled the Reminiscence Soup on purpose just now, but let Jishen drink it.

Jishen will restore the memory in the mortal world.

He may feel a little dazed for the first moment, or he may feel embarrassed and overwhelmed.

However, the memory impact of 81 must not be underestimated.

After Jishen has digested it, he will recall his waiting and love in the mortal world.

Yoshigami might feel a little confused, but decides to keep loving him anyway.

The same as other fairy loves, Jishen will feel that this love will dissipate after a while and can no longer be maintained.

Different from other immortal loves, Ruan Qiuping has never been able to give Jishen a matching love.

They cannot be friends since then, nor can they be lovers.

……

It's just awful.

After drinking the Reminiscence Soup, Yu Huan is no longer the mortal Yu Huan he used to be, so why should he kidnap Yu Huan and continue to love him.

It's fine now.

Ruan Qiuping told himself softly.

Now is the best situation.

The god of auspiciousness can simply be his god of auspiciousness, without having to think of the sufferings of the mortal world, and without being kidnapped by the love of the mortal world.Take pains to maintain and be responsible.

He, Ruan Qiuping, had never been able to fall in love with Yu Huan, but now Yu Huan had forgotten that they had a relationship, and they could get along normally.

Now is the best situation.

Ruan Qiuping muttered softly, but his right hand tightly held the ring around his neck.

He squatted in front of the grave, holding an umbrella in his left hand, and picked up the withered yellow and wet leaves that fell on the grave one by one with his right hand.

A gust of wind hit, and the umbrella in his left hand slipped from his hand.

Ruan Qiuping seemed unaware, drenched in the rain, still picking up the dead leaves on the grave one after another.

He also thought of Yu Huan when he was 82 years old.

When he went down, Yu Huan happened to be in the hospital.

There is a big tree outside the window of Yu Huan's ward.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and most of the dead leaves on the tree fell off.

Looking at the big tree, the aged Yu Huan suddenly said, "Ruan Ruan, do you think I look like..."

"If you dare to say that you are like the dead leaves on that tree." Ruan Qiuping interrupted Yu Huan, "I will use magic to stick those dead leaves to the tree for 100 years."

Yu Huan laughed: "Is Ruan Ruan's magic so powerful? How come I don't know."

Ruan Qiuping thought about it for a while, and felt that his spells were really not that powerful, so he touched his nose guiltily and said, "Then I will climb up the tree myself, as the storybook says, and tie the fallen leaves one by one. On the branch!"

Ruan Qiuping shook his arm covered with age spots after casting the spell, and said like a threat: "Just use my old arms and legs!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to be a fallen leaf, I'm going to be an old tree, okay?" Yu Huan held Ruan Qiuping's hand and looked at the tree outside the window, his eyes that had gone through vicissitudes but were still deep and bright were stained at this moment Expectation and longing, "Like an old tree, the older it is, the taller it will be, and it will be able to give fruit to Ruan Ruan and accept Ruan Ruan to enjoy the shade."

Yu Huan's hoarse voice was still in his memory, but Ruan Qiuping felt tears rolling down his cheeks.

Tears turned into choked sobs, turned into sobs, became uncontrollable.

Ruan Qiuping gritted his teeth tightly, but in the end he knelt down in front of the grave and cried bitterly.

He was crying, not because Yu Huan didn't love him anymore.

It was because the mortal Yu Huan who once loved him had died forever.

With the ashes buried in the ground, eternal life is never to return.
