Non-delivery

The sky is getting darker, and the wind and snow are getting bigger.

Xie Changming lowered his head and turned on the charcoal fire, only to hear the little Changming bird say: "You asked a lot, why didn't you tell me what you did in the past three years?"

It seems that there is some dissatisfaction, and justice must be sought.

The fire light danced between Xie Changming's deep pupils. He half-closed his eyes and said casually: "I study in the academy, and most of the time I have classes, and there is nothing interesting."

After a while, he paused again, and said with a slightly emphatic tone: "The rest of the time, I went down the mountain to do some difficult tasks, and the rewards were generous."

There is no doubt that Sheng Liuyu is a rich bird.

But Xie Changming still wants to maintain his dignity as a breeder, so he has to show the financial resources to support the rich bird.

Sheng Liuyu tilted his head. After listening to it, he was puzzled for a moment, and asked inexplicably: "Are the rewards for those missions very generous? I saw a sign in front of the mountain gate on the way back. The one with the most rewards is to give one A cold-brew stone. I had a lot of those stones when I was a kid, and I used them to grind them into beads."

Cold extraction stone is a very precious natural gemstone, which can restrain demons, cool down obsessed skills, and even save a life at a critical moment, but to Sheng Liuyu, it is just a toy from childhood.

Obviously, the divine bird who does not eat fireworks in the world has learned wrong values ​​from the poor casual cultivator Xie Changming, which is to convert those things with the things he owns and commonly used.Then, he succeeded in mistaking the vast majority of people in the world for paupers.

Unfortunately, Xie Changming is also one of them.

Fortunately, Sheng Liuyu was very considerate of his poverty.

Sheng Liuyu then asked, "What lessons did you teach?"

Very interested.

In fact, Sheng Liuyu is a very lonely bird, never caring about other people's business.Even though he has a bad temper, there were still so many people who flattered him in the academy three years ago, but if he was a little willing to allow other people's contact, he would probably be able to call friends in groups at this time.

But he won't.

He only listened to Xie Changming's affairs that belonged to others.

Xie Changming didn't think it was cumbersome, and told Sheng Liuyu what happened in the academy in the past three years.

After listening, Sheng Liuyu asked again: "Aren't you looking for birds?"

Xie Changming heard this and looked up at him.

The birds are all in front of me, what more can I look for?

But this cannot be said.

So, after thinking for a moment, he still said, "I found it."

He added: "I just don't have a clue yet."

Regarding the similarities and differences between Xie Xiaoqi and Sheng Liuyu, Xie Changming thought a lot, but found no evidence and couldn't conclude the connection, so naturally he couldn't draw a conclusion.

Three years ago, Sheng Liuyu seemed to hate that fat bird very much. Not only did he attack the portrait like a bird, but he also refused to change into a similar one.

But now, Sheng Liuyu responded softly, and said, "I'll look for it with you."

Xie Changming thought it was funny, what are you looking for?After searching and searching, I found that it was me. Then I could hold on to my tail and say I found it?

Little bald hair may do such a stupid thing, but little Changming bird is unlikely.

But thinking of this, Xie Changming couldn't help but smile.

Sheng Liuyu didn't quite understand what he was laughing at, but he immediately said seriously: "It's just a way to go out with you to find birds, mainly to find out what's going on in the world of cultivating immortals."

Xie Changming asked, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Liuyu said: "Before I came out this time, the elders of the clan said that the rituals and music are broken outside, the morals of the world are very bad, the smoke is everywhere, there are many collusions between the cultivation world and the demon clan, let me stay at Xiaochongshan with peace of mind, and don't go out again."

Building an academy and cultivating so many people of insight, the efforts of the world of cultivating immortals seem insignificant in the eyes of Tiandao, and are of little use.

Speaking of this, Sheng Liuyu's tone was a bit heavy.

The way of heaven is immortal, and neither will the divine bird clan.

The Divine Bird Clan is not limited to Eternal Bright Birds, there are also hundreds of races extending from the blood of Eternal Bright Birds. The entire Xiaochong Mountain lives by the illusory but real gods.

The collapse of the world, the suffering of mortals, and the evil of the fairy world have nothing to do with the little Changming Bird.

But Sheng Liuyu still said: "I think there must be a reason, and I want to find out."

Xie Changming recalled the previous two lives, and asked calmly: "If you really find a person who is said to be the source of all evil in the world, what should you do?"

Sheng Liuyu frowned, and said seriously: "The evil in the world is the fault of only one person. Even the most brilliant illusion can't change people's hearts, it's people who do evil."

Xie Changming nodded, and said softly: "Just kidding. If you want to find it, I will accompany you."

Finally, Xie Changming asked again: "Are the eyes really healed?"

Asked the same thing twice in one day.

Sheng Liuyu was a little helpless, sighed and said: "It's really good. You can see clearly even if you are so far away."

The two sat opposite each other across the stove, and the distance between them was really not far away.

Outside the window, there are mountain snow, cold plum blossoms, and the rising moon, but Sheng Liuyu wants to compare it with Xie Changming.

When Xie Changming raised Xie Xiaoqi in the past, he raised him very well. When he was hungry, he would feed him fruit, and he would feed him a few pine nuts as snacks.

But the bird turned into a human, and changed to another way of raising it.

Xie Changming felt that he was a breeder for a short time three years ago, but he didn't raise it well.

Now the little Changming bird is too thin and needs to be fed more.

So Xie Changming asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Sheng Liuyu was startled, glanced at Xie Changming from the corner of the eye, and then quickly moved away: "...not at all."

It seems that he is not hungry, but if Xie Changming wants to feed him fruit, he can forcefully eat it.

Xie Changming smiled: "I didn't know you were coming back, and there was no fruit."

Sheng Liuyu was shocked, she was still contemptuous just now, her avoiding eyes immediately widened, and she couldn't help asking: "Song..."

Xie Changming knew that Sheng Liuyu probably wanted to ask if he didn't even have pine nuts?

But Shenniao's self-esteem and reserve prevented him from asking.

After a while, Xie Changming sent a message to Chen Yibai with a jade card, asking him to go to Lingzhi Garden to pick some fruits.

Chen Yibai said: "What kind of fruit do you eat in the cold weather, I will pick it for you tomorrow."

"Ten spirit stones."

"All right."

It's been three years, even if he has cultivated Yuanying, not to mention the academy where masters gather, he can be regarded as a powerful party in a small place, and Chen Yibai's pursuit of spirit stones and money has not changed a little bit.

Xie Changming looked up at Sheng Liuyu.

The little eternity bird sat quietly by the fire, with eyes downcast and chin resting, revealing the bracelet on its arm, matching the clothes and shining brightly.

The courtyard door opened and closed immediately, it was Chen Yibai who went out.

After a while, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and someone came in.

Sheng Liuyu just sat there, not intending to deceive Chen Yibai with illusion.

Xie Changming asked him: "Didn't you want people to see you here before?"

Sheng Liuyu hummed softly: "Back then I was deaf and blind, and it was very annoying to be asked."

It's best to be alone, who doesn't know anyone, and who is not close to anyone, so that others won't ask.

The implication is that he did not deliberately distance himself from Xie Changming.

Xie Changming thought it was a little funny.

At the very beginning, the little Chang Mingniao scolded a liar and an idiot at the same time. He deliberately hated him. After being threatened, he forged a deep hatred, and now he has forgotten all about it.

However, the moment the door was pushed open, Sheng Liuyu immediately used illusion.

Because Chen Yibai asked excitedly outside: "Brother Xie, on the way back just now, I saw someone escorting the divine bird back, and I heard it was said that he went to the peak, what did he do there?"

Pushing open the door, only Xie Changming was warming up to the stove. Chen Yibai instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it. He just sighed: "The divine bird comes and goes very quickly. I saw him with you not long ago. Just went to the summit."

"It's not as good as it is."

Xie Changming didn't speak, took out a fruit from the basket, and slowly peeled it.

Chen Yibai asked again: "By the way, you didn't tell me how you met Shenniao. With his temperament, he can even talk to people with a smile."

Probably guessed that Xie Changming would not answer, so he said to himself: "In my opinion, it must not be an ordinary way, there must be some coincidences. For example, the divine bird was injured, turned into its original shape, fell into the mortal world, and was adopted by Brother Xie, so He has nothing to repay, but promises with his body? No, you are all men, you can't promise with your body, at least you have to offer a magic weapon of spirit stones in return."

Xie Changming glanced at it, and the little Changming Bird's fist was probably hardened again.

He put the peeled fruit on a white porcelain plate, piled it high, pushed the plate towards Sheng Liuyu, and said slowly: "I really buried you in the academy."

Chen Yibai was also very surprised, and turned to be complacent and said: "Why, you also found that I am talented, and I should be calling the wind and rain outside, but the rigorous and complicated courses of the academy have delayed my practice!"

Xie Changming said: "You are not good at studying, and you are a second-rate cultivator, but if you go to teahouses to tell stories, you can make a lot of money every day."

Chen Yibai said bitterly: "Don't think that I can't beat you, so you can do whatever you want."

Apparently, the years of dormitory life have made Chen Yi terrified, and he is no longer afraid of Xie Changming as he used to be.

Sheng Liuyu picked up the fruit, took a bite, and made a crisp sound.

Chen Yibai took the spirit stone, and was supposed to leave, but stopped: "By the way, when I came back today, I saw Ruan Liuxia sitting alone in the pavilion, not practicing, and sighing silently, how can this young lady still have some kindness?" What's bothering you?"

Xie Changming: "Didn't you ask?"

Chen Yibai: "I don't deal with her, it's useless to ask."

Xie Changming: "You also know that you have a grudge against her, so you still care so much?"

Chen Yibai: "It's always a roommate, I have an obligation to help."

Now there are only five people left in Langyue Courtyard, and the other three people happily moved to another place after accepting Ruan Liuxia's compensation because they couldn't endure the winter environment for a long time.

Xie Changming has never been too busy minded, but if the people in Langyue courtyard encounter any difficulties, they will still be the first to think of him.

For example, when Cong Yuan wanted to catch Pi Li yesterday, he also asked Xie Changming to help him.

Xie Changming is always reliable.

Xie Changming said: "If someone needs help with something, Ruan Liuxia will definitely say it. If she doesn't want to say it, she can't ask it."

Chen Yibai was very conflicted: "You're right, but you can't pretend you didn't see it. Forget it, next time I see her like this, I'll go and ask myself."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Sheng Liuyu suddenly said: "You lied to him again."

Xie Changming said, "Who did you lie to?"

Sheng Liuyu said, "Ah Jiu."

Xie Changming realized that it was probably just after hearing what Chen Yibai said, the little Changming bird went back to Ah Jiu for a look, and was vaguely sued again.

Xie Changming explained: "It's not intentional, it's true that there are no pine nuts."

Then he asked softly, "Are you tired after a day's driving today?"

In fact, Sheng Liuyu came on a fairy boat, and the boat was so dog-legged that he wished it could turn into auspicious clouds under the feet of a divine bird, so he didn't need to take an extra step.

But being asked like this, Sheng Liuyu answered again, as if he was really tired.

Xie Changming said: "Ah Jiu will take care of it over there, do you want to sleep here for a while?"

So, after eating the fruit, Sheng Liuyu lay down on the bed and covered it with the thin linen quilt that Xie Changming had been using all along.

Xie Changming turned the fire down very low, and threw a few fruits onto the iron rack.

After a while, a faint sweet and sour smell filled the room.

Sheng Liuyu was properly taken care of, feeling very satisfied and at ease, as if she didn't need to think about anything, and didn't need to explore what was at the end of the darkness.

Slowly, slowly, he fell into a deep sleep.

This was the first time in three years that he had such a good night's sleep.

The author has something to say:

The divine bird in Chen Yibai's eyes: a master of time management.

The actual little long-sighted bird: space management leader (.
