cloudy moon

On Ying Ning's 16th birthday, under the arrangement of Aunt Lan, all the foxes in Qingqiu gathered together, and the scene was very lively.

"Grandma Huayue! Granny Huayue, why are you here so late?" The little girl in pure white looks extraordinarily pure and lovely, and Ying Ning, the youngest in Qingqiu, has finally grown up!

"I was late because I prepared a gift for you." Huayue said with a smile.

"Really? What have you prepared for me?" The old woman in red and black robe tapped her fingertips, and the bright sky instantly darkened, but strangely, there were no stars twinkling on the night.

"Eh? Why is it dark?" "Yeah, why is it dark all of a sudden?" The foxes in Qingqiu began to discuss this strange phenomenon without knowing it.

Then, several beams of colorful light rushed to the sky from the old man's sleeves, and after drawing a few long arcs, colorful fireworks bloomed in the night.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" All the men and women on the grassland exclaimed and admired, and they all rushed to the highest hillside, hoping to have a panoramic view of such a beautiful scenery.

"Hurry up and make a wish." The old woman looked at the girl in white with surprise in her eyes, and knew that her hard work was not in vain. She looked at her lovingly and suggested so.

Ying Ning closed her eyes obediently, and said plausibly, "I hope, I can take a trip to the world. To see what the world is like, what mortals are like, and love... what is it all about?" .I hope my wish will come true.” The elderly Huayue kept smiling.

At this time, a woman in a silver and white brocade dress came gracefully. Contrary to the gentle smile on her face, Danfeng had a lot of defense in his eyes, "Ying Ning, what are you talking about? So happy."

Oops!Aunt Lan never liked to bring up the matter of going to the human world. "Aunt Lan...look! The colorful flowers in the sky are so beautiful, aren't they?" Ying Ning hesitated to change the subject, and then ran away with her long white dress that dragged the floor. At the very front, I went to enjoy this rare beauty with everyone.

"Ying Ning is still young, I don't want you to have any idea of ​​misleading her." Lan Xi looked at the girl who ran away, her tone was not polite, even warning.

"Ying Ning is 16 years old and an adult. She has her own thoughts. And she will follow her own thoughts and walk her own path. Neither you nor I have the right to interfere." Blindly avoiding things It doesn't help, what should come will always come. The test of worldly love is a lesson that every Qingqiu spirit fox has to go through, and it cannot escape no matter what.

"Don't you hope that, like you, she is willing to sacrifice her hundred years of practice for the sake of love?" Qiu Fudi allowed them to cultivate quietly. After cultivating to a certain level, while their mana increased, their lifespan was also extended.So sacrificing one's own cultivation like Huayue's is tantamount to losing one's own lifespan, so even if she is still alive by chance, she still looks like an old woman, and she is about to die.

"I have never regretted everything I have done." Huayue said calmly, she knew that her behavior was considered stupid or even crazy by many people, and only those who really understood love would understand.

"Of course you don't have to regret it, but I was entrusted by Xiaodie to take care of Ying Ning, so I won't let Ying Ning suffer any harm. So, please stay away from Ying Ning." Lan Xi said in a cold voice with a serious expression.For Ying Ning, she had to do this, she would never let Ying Ning follow in the footsteps of her mother - Lan Xiaodie and Huayue.

"Really? Then you can only imprison her in Qingqiu forever." Huayue understood her concern for Yingning, so she didn't take her disrespect and offense to heart.With a long sigh, she left on crutches.The corners of the mouth slightly raised into a smile, Ying Ning, I hope everything goes well for you in this world!

It turned out that on the day of her birthday, while Huayue and Lanxi were talking, Ying Ning took the opportunity to sneak away to the world of her dreams.And, she met someone.

Lan Xi went to the mortal world specially, and personally captured Ying Ning, who had sneaked out, back to Qingqiu, but it was still a step too late.Ying Ning's unique innocent smile was never seen again.Huayue looked at her daughter's family sitting under the big tree with a sad face.Only people who are suffering from love will show such an expression.

"What's the matter, Yingning?" The old lady asked kindly, and sat down beside the girl.

"It's you, Granny Huayue..." The delicate and soft voice that was always full of vitality was obviously weak at the moment.

Huayue is someone who has been there before, so she naturally knows what the struggle and lovesickness on her face represent, "Miss him?" Although he didn't know who that young man was, he let Yingning understand what love is, and these pains and torments will make people feel happy. Let her grow up quickly.

Ying Ning didn't answer directly, but said in a dazed way: "So, this is the love you told me, it's both bitter...and sweet...I think I understand a little bit now."

Huayue's old hand touched Yingning's hair gently, she didn't care about worldly grievances or fate entanglements.She only knows that even if Ying Ning is trapped in Qingqiu forever, the little girl who has known the taste of love will not be able to regain the smile and ease of the past, so she might as well give it a go and see how these two young people look. What kind of fruit can love produce?Is it sweet?Still bitter?Let them experience it for themselves.This is also the only thing she can do for this little lover before she dies.

Mrs. Wang, who loves her son dearly, did not hesitate to set fire to the flower garden, the lifeblood of the Wang Family Incense Powder Factory, so that her son could forget about the fox demon Yingning.And this move successfully forced the prince to take the oath of love, "Mother! This flower garden is my love for Yingning. Once you burn it, I will rebuild it!"

The flower garden that had been engulfed by flames turned into a mess.The prince sat down on the ground in pain, holding Yingning's sachet tightly in his hand, thinking about others when he saw things.Suddenly, an old voice came out of his mind, "Young man, do you really want to find Yingning?"

Wang Zifu, who had dealt with Ying Ning and Lan Xi several times, understood that the owner of this voice must not be a mortal, but there was no fear on Junxiu's face, and he replied firmly: "Yes!"

"Despite everything, you also want to see?"

"Yes, I also ask an expert to give me some advice."

"Forget it, then it will be as you wish."

A little bit of light began to emerge on the scorched black ground, and after the light dimmed, it was replaced by colorful flowers on the ground.The flowers bloomed one after another, leading to a road. Wang Zifu walked for a long time, and finally found that the end of the road turned out to be an ancient tree.

"Is there something weird about this tree?" Just as Wang Zifu guessed, this tree is not an extraordinary tree, but a gathering of the spiritual energy of Qingqiu Paradise, and it is also the only channel connecting Qingqiu and the world.

Not far from the ancient tree, an old man with a cane appeared.Huayue watched with a smile as the figure of the young man disappeared into the light of the tree hole little by little.It turned out that she was helping Wang Zifu find the way to Qingqiu.

Stepping into the tree hole, the prince's suit seems to have entered another world, and everything that can be seen is green.The vast grassland and the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, Wang Zifu guessed, this is the Qingqiu Yingning described, and only such a fairyland can raise a beautiful and refined woman like Yingning.He put his hands around his mouth and called out the name of his sweetheart loudly, hoping that she would come out to meet him, "Ying Ning—Ying Ning—Ying Ning—"

On the northern half of the hillside, Ying Ning started picking flowers under Lanxi's persuasion. When she put the fragrant flowers into the basket, she couldn't help but think of the large colorful flower garden in the fragrance powder factory. She wondered how well the flower garden was taken care of. up?I don't know how to subdue him...how is it now?

At this time, a familiar voice began to reverberate in the valley, "Ying Ning—Ying Ning—" Is this, Zi Fu's voice?

"I'm afraid you're thinking about Zifu and going crazy!" Ying Ning reached out and patted her head hard, trying to knock this illusion out of her mind, and then bent down to continue picking flowers.But this is not an illusion after all, so it won't disappear naturally. "Did you hear it too?" Ying Ning finally discovered the clue, she looked at Hua'er excitedly, and when she saw the psychic Hua'er nodded, Ying Ning was overjoyed.

Maybe Zifu really came to Qingqiu?The girl immediately dropped the flower basket in her hand, and let the beautiful and fragrant petals in the basket fall on the ground, and a fresh and graceful figure in green flew towards the direction where the sound came from—Qingqiu Grassland.

On the other side, a woman in silver-gray clothes walked out of a dazzling white light. Looking closely, she also had a pretty face and a graceful figure.Obviously, the call from the prince's suit was not Ying Ning, but Lan Xi who broke up the two of them with his own hands.

Wang Zifu looked very excited when he saw the visitor.If Aunt Lan is here, then Ying Ning must be there too! "Aunt Lan! Where's Yingning? Where is Yingning?"

"Yingning has already forgotten about you, go back." Lan Xi waved his hand impatiently, wanting to make Wang Zifu leave quickly, if the two people really meet, the matter will become even more difficult.

"I don't believe it! Even if it's true, you should ask Ying Ning to come out and tell me in person."

"If you don't leave, I will..." Lan Xi was about to drive him out of Qingqiu, but he heard a voice from behind, "Zifu!" From the expression of Wang Zifu, it can be seen that behind him is Ying Ning that girl.Lan Xi couldn't help sighing.

"Yingning, I miss you so much!" Wang Zifu shouted happily.

Seeing the sweetheart whom he misses day and night, Ying Ning's eyes are filled with tears.When she wanted to run towards Wang Zifu, she was stopped by Lan Xi.Lan Xi waved his sleeves, and a huge crack appeared on the ground between Ying Ning and the prince's clothes, blocking the progress of the prince's clothes at the same time.

"You go back." Lan Xi insisted that Wang Zifu should leave now and not pester Ying Ning any more.Ying Ning may still be troubled by love for a while, but she believes that time is the best medicine, and as time goes on, Ying Ning will be able to completely forget Prince Fu.

"Aunt Lan, there is a saying in the world, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy a single marriage. I beg you, don't beat the mandarin ducks with sticks, and let us be fulfilled?" the prince said earnestly.

"I'm not embarrassing you, but between you, there is indeed an abyss, a sea of ​​fire, and an abyss that will crush your bones. You will not be together." Just like her good sister, Ying Ning's biological mother, Lan Xiaodie , she gave everything just to pursue true love, but what did she get in the end?Ashes!She must not let Yingning make the same mistakes again.What's more, Wang Zifu's mother is the chief culprit who caused Xiaodie's death, so there is no guarantee that she will not kill Ying Ning.

"No, as long as we are willing, we will be able to overcome all difficulties." Wang Zifu solemnly promised.

"Then you can prove it to me! With your mortal strength, how can you cross this sea of ​​fire and this deep valley?" Facts speak louder than words. Didn't the difficulties in front of him hinder his pace? "Prince Fu, you'd better listen to me and give up. Besides, you are young and promising, why worry about not having a wife?"

The red-clothed mother-in-law who was hiding behind the bushes poked her head out, and after seeing the deep valley clearly, she smiled triumphantly.Casting illusions in front of her is simply trickery!However, this is indeed an excellent way to test this young man.

Wang Zifu firmly said: "Whether it is the abyss or the deep valley of the sea of ​​fire, I will cross them one by one! I must be with Yingning."

"Aunt Lan, I beg you not to hurt him, let him come here." Worried that the prince's clothes who were persistently advancing would be in danger, Ying Ning pulled Lan Xi's sleeve and begged.

Lan Xi held Ying Ning's cold hand. She understood her worry at the moment, but... "If he sincerely crosses the sea of ​​fire and the deep valley for you, then the current difficulties will not be able to stop him."

The old voice rang in Wang Zifu's ears again, "Young man, if you are determined to be with Yingning, you will surely find the way to your love. The obstacles that appear in front of you now are just to confuse you. You But don't be affected by this!" Huayue thought to herself, she can only do this, and the next step depends on how sincere Wang Zifu is to Ying Ning.

"Don't be affected by it...don't be affected by it...I love Yingning, I can do it!" Wang Zifu murmured to himself looking at the sea of ​​fire and valley in front of him, approaching step by step in a strange way.

"Zifu! What are you doing, Zifu? Don't do anything stupid, you'll die if you fall!" Ying Ning felt more and more uneasy. Although she was moved by Wang Zifu's love, she didn't want him to be lost because of it. life.

"You'd better go back!" Lan Xi was also a little worried. There was only one bridge connecting the two sides, but even she didn't know where the bridge was.

"Zi Fu!" Ying Ning saw that Wang Zifu closed his eyes and lifted his feet forward, feeling heartbroken for a moment, "Don't!"

Wang Zifu plucked up his courage and took two steps in succession without any feeling of falling down. He opened his eyes in doubt, only to find a bridge leading to the opposite side appeared under his feet.

Ying Ning was also stunned, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "So there is a bridge." The shock just now would have shortened her life by at least ten years.

Wang Zifu quickened his pace, and at the same time, Ying Ning also broke free from Lan Xi's control, and the two hugged each other tightly on the bridge. At that moment, the terrible sea of ​​flames disappeared, and it became the original faint green grass.

Huayue turned and left in relief.Ying Ning, I wish you the best of luck in finding the love of your life.

It turned out that Lanxi's skill was not strong enough, so Huayue, who was hiding at the side, strengthened the illusion without any trace, ensuring that the prince's life would not be in danger.That bridge will only automatically appear under the feet of those with a firm mind. If the bridge does not appear, the prince's clothes will just return to the world.Huayue felt that she had to give it a try. If it was as expected, Yingning's future mother-in-law would not be easy to deal with. Although she believed in the sincerity of Prince Fu, she also had to receive the guarantee that Yingning was marrying. After entering the royal family, under the maintenance of the prince's clothes, you won't suffer too much.
