[Purple yarn] Deep spring flowers bloom by themselves

She didn't know how to respond for a while, so she pretended not to understand:

"Old man?"

"……Um."

"I look like her?"

"..."

"That's very similar!" Her thoughts turned very quickly, and now she had an idea, and she asked again with a smile: "Isn't she—is she very beautiful?"

"..."

"If you don't nod, that means you're ugly?!"

"...You have never seen her before, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh hehehe, little Ziying, so you are so shy. From this point of view, she must look like a fairy?"

"...It doesn't matter if you look beautiful or ugly."

"Oh, I knew you would say that! ... Then, your old friend, what is her name? Where is she now?"

"..."

"If you don't tell me, I'll go find Sister Han who sorts out the life and death book for me! When the time comes—"

"Wait..." Before she finished speaking, Ziying turned around and interrupted her, her voice trembling slightly.

"You are in the ghost world...know a woman surnamed Han?"

She glared at him angrily: "Hmph, are you finally willing to talk to me?"

"..."

"Since you have already guessed it, let me tell you the truth," she deliberately diverted the topic away, hoping that he could ask about "Sister Han", "...Before I became a ghost, I was originally a bird." .”

But he remained silent, so she had to go on.

"Ever since I got out of the eggshell, I have been living carefree in the woods. But then there was a severe drought, and the plants and crops withered. I had to leave my hometown and fly to a place with water... I flew and flew day and night, I don't know how long I flew, and finally found a family with water, but before I drank the water, I lost my strength and fell by the well of this family, and was almost killed. A big yellow dog eats it."

When she said this, she looked at Ziying again.I saw him looking at the lake thoughtfully, as if he was waiting for her to finish speaking.

"However, I was finally lucky. The owner of this family found me and brought me back to life. Since then, I have been living under the roof of his house, singing to them every day... and later, I became a ghost, Lord Yan promised that if I can find all the treasures he wants, he will let me be the daughter of this family in the next life. So, I borrowed a human figure and came to the world!"

She made up these words in a hurry, but Ziying seemed to be more cautious in her words and deeds than a hundred years ago, even at this time, she still didn't have the slightest intention to ask questions.She was secretly anxious and wanted to stomp her feet. She endured it for a while, and then said sadly:

"Oh, it's a pity that sister Han can't come out to play with me. When I first arrived in the ghost world, she was already punished to do hard labor there. Lord Yan told her to sort out the life and death book. Last time I went back to see her, she was still sorting out The life and death books have been sorted out for 100 years. Those life and death books were fun when I first read them, but after reading too much, they are not interesting..."

Ziying frowned a little bit.Ever since he heard the words "Sister Han", his expression finally changed a little until now.Lingsha's heart ached, she quickly laughed and said:

"But I think Sister Han is very happy with herself. She and that 'Uncle Yun' are well-known figures in the ghost world, big and small ghosts are happy to be ordered by them, and even the king of hell is fooled by them I'm so devastated, there's nothing I can do about them!"

Ziying sighed softly:

"Do you know when her hard labor will end?"

"I don't know, Sister Han never told me..." She paused, and suddenly said strangely: "Huh? Ziying, could it be that...you know her?"

Ziying hesitated for a moment.

"...Well. She is the old friend I just mentioned."

"So that's how it is!" She looked suddenly enlightened. "What a coincidence! No wonder you think I'm very similar to her. Sister Han herself always said that I hit it off with her very well. When she returned to the ghost world last time, she asked me to visit a friend of hers in Huangshan."

Ziying was slightly surprised: "She said, but Qingluan Peak in Huangshan Mountain?"

"Yes!" Lingsha nodded repeatedly. "Sister Han said that she has a good friend who left 100 years ago, and she doesn't know when she will come back. Another good friend, whose eyes are injured and can't see, lives in Qingluan Peak in Huangshan Mountain, and I don't know what's going on now. So let me go and see for her."

Ziying said: "If the girl is going, I can lead the way."

When he spoke, his eyes dimmed, and Lingsha could see clearly, so he asked: "What's wrong? Your complexion is so bad, is it because sister Han has forgotten you?"

Ziying said: "That's not the case."

Lingsha clapped her hands and smiled: "Ha, it seems that sister Han is right!"

Seeing Ziying looking at herself in bewilderment, she explained: "Sister Han said that she has a good friend who is not only a cold face, but also a boring gourd. If you leave it alone, sooner or later, he will turn himself Suffocated! So, this friend, she has to visit her in person~~"

"... Seriously?" Hearing this, Ziying couldn't help but stop shaking her oars.

"Why should I lie to you!"

"Then... did she say, when will she come?"

"Pfft! Hahahahahaha...Little Ziying, do you admit that you have a face of ice cubes, or are you a dull gourd?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not mad at you...Actually, I don't know when Lord Yan will let Sister Han come to Yangjian. I only heard her say that the sins of the Han family will take a long time. Only then can it be paid off.”

Seeing that he lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, she said softly: "...Ziying, you miss Sister Han so much, she must be very happy to know."

Ziying shook her head slowly:

"... Whether she knows it or not, it doesn't matter."

"Wow, I can't see that Bing Cube's face has such a gentle side!"

"...Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe... What's the matter, you can't even make a joke? Let me tell you, I know a lot about Sister Han. If you dare to be cruel to me, I will never tell you again!"

This time, Ziying didn't answer, but slowly started to shake the paddle again.

Afterwards, Ziying accompanied Lingsha to several places, some were caves with spirit beasts entrenched, some were temples, and some were wealthy families in towns.Everywhere she goes, Lingsha will go to "collect treasures" alone, and when things are done, she and Ziying will leave together with the sword.After a few days, Ziying became more and more silent for some reason. No matter what jokes Lingsha made, or deliberately provoked him, or even told him about "Sister Han", he would only answer briefly, without revealing the slightest hint. Emotional ups and downs.

Lingsha secretly felt strange, but she had no time to think about the two of them running around for days.Finally, there was only one last treasure left on Yama's bill.Seeing that her great work was about to be completed, she proposed to go to Qingluan Peak to see the friends of "Sister Han", so that when she returned to the ghost world to reincarnate, she could have an explanation to "Sister Han".

Naturally, Ziying had no objection to her request, and immediately summoned the magic sword, and the two flew towards Qingluan Peak in Huangshan together.

When approaching Huangshan, Ziying said:

"Miss Lu... the friend that Miss Han mentioned to you who left a hundred years ago has returned and lives on Qingluan Peak."

"Really? That's great! I've met all three of Sister Han's friends. When I go back and tell her, she can finally let go of most of her heart..."

Ziying asked: "Miss Han, what else is there to worry about? Maybe I can help you a little bit."

Lingsha smiled: "Why, you forgot so soon? Sister Han said she was worried about you and wanted to see you in person~~"

So Ziying stopped answering.After a while, a puff of smoke scattered in front of him, and Qingluan Peak was close in sight.

"...is this Qingluan Peak?" Lingsha looked around pretending to be curious as soon as she jumped off the magic sword.Although in the past hundred years, in order to ensure the safety of the plan, she never came back, but it is easy to find out about Yun Tianhe in the ghost world.

Three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, this is the rule Yun Tianqing set for his son.After Lingsha arrived in the ghost world, she quickly got to know Yun Tianqing well, so she knew whether the daily six-pillar incense had been cut off or not.

Right now, she finally came back to this place that made her dream, but she had to pretend to be a stranger to everything, even she herself admired herself.

Ziying nodded, put away the magic sword, and walked towards the wooden house on the slope.The mountain is green all the year round, and the stream is jubilant, which is always so refreshing.Lingsha breathed the fresh aroma of grass and trees, and felt very kind.

Ziying just took two steps when the door of the wooden house opened, and Yun Tianhe ran out of it alive and kicking, shouting repeatedly:

"Ziying! Ziying!"

Behind him, Liu Mengli was also smiling and looking this way, when she saw Lingsha, she was slightly taken aback.

"Tianhe, Mengli..." Ziying stopped, as if hesitating how to introduce the girl who came with her.Yun Tianhe ran in front of him, sensed that there was another person, and turned his head keenly.Although his eyes were closed, an expression of surprise and doubt gradually appeared on his face, and he murmured:

"Lingsha?..."

As soon as he said this, the other three were shocked.Lingshawan didn't expect him to recognize her so quickly, she was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to cover up.Yun Tianhe heard the silence around him, and was even more anxious to confirm whether that person was Lingsha or not.He took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to grab it, and Lingsha had to jump aside in a panic.Yun Tianhe caught a blank, and suddenly became anxious:

"Lingsha! Lingsha?! Lingsha, you're back? Lingsha——"

"Savage!" Gathering her mind, Lingsha reprimanded, "Sister Han said you are a savage, and you really are a savage!"

"Ah?!" Yun Tianhe was taken aback.

"Tianhe, this girl's surname is Lu...she's not Lingsha." Ziying put her hand on his shoulder and said.

Yun Tianhe scratched his head: "...that's right. Her voice...is different from Lingsha..."

Seeing him hesitate, Lingsha took the opportunity to say: "Listen, I'm not Sister Han, I, surnamed, Lu! Look at you, you're just a brat, you'd better call me 'Sister Lu' obediently." , otherwise, I’ll take off your braids and feed them to wild boars!”

Yun Tianhe took a step back in fright: "Okay, it's fierce... But, I'm not young, I already have—" He thought for a while, then scratched his head embarrassingly, "Hehe, anyway, I already have—" There are many, many years~~"

Lingsha smiled: "What's so great about this! Let me tell you, this girl is many years old. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ziying."

Hearing what she said, Yun Tianhe "looked" at Ziying again.

Ziying said: "Tianhe, Mengli, this Miss Lu is Lingsha's friend in the ghost world, entrusted by Lingsha, she came to Qingluan Peak to visit you."

"Really?!" Yun Tianhe was overjoyed.

"Miss Lu." Liu Mengli bowed.After so many years, her words and demeanor are still so gentle and refined. Lingsha recalled the sad farewell to her in the Illusory World, and before she died, only a "Mengli" who could not speak, saw her off. Unexpectedly, the four of them could be reunited in Qingluan Peak now.She felt hot:

"You must be Sister Liu, right? Sister Han often tells me about you. If she knows you're back, she must be very happy!"

Liu Mengli smiled slightly, stroked her hair, and was about to answer, but Yun Tianhe interrupted again:

"Well, Lu...Lu...Sister Lu? Ling loves her, did you mention me?"

Liu Mengli couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.Lingsha snorted: "You? Of course there is. Sister Han said, you are a wild man who makes trouble everywhere!"

"Heh, heh heh heh..." Yun Tianhe laughed, making Lingsha couldn't help laughing too.Youyou Cuifeng seems to have regained its former laughter.Liu Mengli greeted everyone to enter the house and made hot tea. Lingsha told Yunliu and Yunliu vividly about her "life experience" as a bird, and finally sighed: "If it wasn't for a coincidence, I would have met you." Ziying, such a high mountain, I don’t know how long it will take to climb it!”

Yun Tianhe smiled and said: "It turns out that you don't know how to control the sword either. I used to know how, but I haven't tried it for a long time, hehe~"

Lingsha looked into his eyes, feeling sad, but said: "Looking at how stupid you are, I don't believe you know how to control a sword!"

Yun Tianhe listened, but didn't mind: "Well, I'm quite stupid, and Lingsha used to say I was stupid..."

Liu Mengli asked: "Miss Lu, Lingsha...is she alright?"

Lingsha said triumphantly: "Sister Han is now a tyrant in the ghost world! Oh, and that senior Yun is also a tyrant in the ghost world!"

"father?!"

"That's right. Sister Han misses you very much. She always said that you are her best friend. I don't know if we will meet again in the future. Before I left, she also specially explained something to me, asking me to tell you You savage."

"What?" Yun Tianhe asked impatiently.

Lingsha stood up, took a deep breath, and shouted suddenly:

"Clouds, sky, river!"

"what?!"

"When this girl was alive, she was angry with you, and later she became a ghost, and you still want to anger me! Tell me, when did we meet and get married? Why did you want to carve a letter on that tablet?" What kind of "beloved wife" ruined this girl's innocence for the rest of her life? Do you know that Uncle Yun is chasing me every day and wants me to call him "father"?! I really——I limit you to three hours to take that Smash a tablet and feed it to pigs, otherwise, even if you are a ghost, I will not let you go!"

After she yelled freely, she suddenly felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly added: "Sister Han asked me to tell you these words, do you understand?"

Yun Tianhe was stunned for a while: "But, but... When I asked Ziying, Ziying also said—"

"You! Don't rely on Ziying! Sister Han said, she knew it was all your idea! She also said, you savage is so confused, she really wants to beat you up for Sister Liu! "

"Ah?!" Yun Tianhe was completely dizzy, "For Mengli?...Why?!"

Lingsha sighed heavily, and pressed her temples: "Oh, it's useless to tell you more. Anyway, you go and smash that monument right now, otherwise sister Han will ask me later, and I can save you." I can't miss you!"

"Oh..." Yun Tianhe scratched his head aggrievedly, "But..."

"Still 'but' what?"

"But... boars don't eat stones..."

Liu Mengli burst out laughing.Lingsha finally couldn't hold it back, and slapped him hard on the head:

"You—you are so mad!"

Yun Tianhe rubbed his head, showing nostalgia on his face: "Lu—Sister Lu, with you here, it's like Lingsha is back..."

After he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.Lingsha was secretly startled, and was thinking about how to divert his attention, but she heard Ziying who had never spoken just now asked:

"Tianhe, where is Wang Shujian now?"

Yun Tianhe said: "I put it back in Shichenxi Cave~~"

Lingsha didn't understand why Ziying mentioned Wang Shujian, and gave him a strange look.At this time, Liu Mengli said:

"Miss Lu, you came from a long way, so how about staying for dinner? We also want to hear more about Uncle Yun and Lingsha from you."

"Okay, okay!" Yun Tianhe jumped up immediately, "I'm going to hunt wild boars, and we'll roast wild boars to eat tonight!"

Lingsha smiled and said, "Well, I'm sorry. I heard that the scenery on this mountain is very beautiful, so I just happened to visit it."

As soon as they had made a decision, Yun Tianhe cheered and ran out the door happily.Liu Mengli was going to the kitchen to prepare dishes, and she also left the wooden house temporarily.Seeing Ziying standing aside silently, Lingsha seemed to have something on her mind, so she said:

"Ziying, you must be very familiar with this Qingluan Peak, you can look around with me, okay?"

Ziying nodded.The two left the wooden house and walked casually along the mountain stream.Today, there are many more tall trees around here than a hundred years ago, and the branches and leaves are layered on top of each other, making this small hillside look more quiet and cool.

Lingsha sighed: "It really is a good place!"

Seeing that Ziying was still silent, she said again: "Ziying, I will go back to reincarnate this time, and I will never see you again. Do you have anything to say, do you want me to tell Sister Han?"

Ziying pondered for a moment, then thanked: "Young lady's kindness, I accept it wholeheartedly."

Lingsha wondered: "Huh?...Why? You haven't seen each other for so long, don't you have anything to say to her, or something you want me to bring to her?"

Ziying said: "...No need."

"Hey, you are really weird! I see that you like sister Han so much and want to help you, but you don't want to appreciate it!"

"You..." Ziying's eyes widened in surprise.

"You want to ask me how I know, right? Heh~~ You don't need to know, your ice cube face will only change when I mention Sister Han, isn't it easy to see? Well?...And it looks like this, you haven't told Sister Han yet, have you?"

"..."

"Tell me~~ Did you tell her?"

"...what's the use of mentioning the past."

"Ah? That means you didn't tell her?" Lingsha plucked up her courage and said, "Then, you promise me that when Sister Han comes to see you, you must tell her!"

Ziying shook her head: "I can't promise you."

"You!...It's a shame that I wasted half a day talking to you, okay, then you can continue to be your boring gourd!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away angrily.Not far away, Yun Tianhe was chasing a boar, happily coming and going to drink.Fortunately, with only one person and one pig, he was able to make this mountain very lively.Lingsha ran across the small stone bridge, and saw a corner of the eaves faintly exposed in the shade of a giant tree on the opposite side.That is her favorite tree house.

She climbed the tree along the path.Probably because of Yun Tianhe's inconvenient eyesight, he seldom came here for a hundred years. The original path was covered with moss and mushrooms.The surrounding vines were obviously cut by the sword, which is probably the trace left by Ziying when she cleaned it regularly.

She pushed open the door and came to the window.It was dusk at this time, and above the vast peaks, the gorgeous sunset glow dyed the sea of ​​clouds colorfully, and the sound of flapping wings of birds returning to their nests passed overhead from time to time.She stood there looking at it for a long time, and remembered that she had stood by the same window before, the night outside was like water, and the moon was shining in the sky... At that time, what she was thinking and what she said were still as clear as yesterday.Scenes of memories came one after another, like the sea of ​​clouds at this moment, it was a hazy and colorful dream.But in this trance, a voice broke in abruptly, making everything else disappear——

If you are the only one who can solve the disaster of our faction, even if the Qionghua faction is safe, what face will it have in the world in the future?

A sentence that has nothing to do with the love of children, Ziying said it sincerely and frankly.After many years, she didn't know why it was this sentence, which made her eyes slightly wet at this time.

"...Miss Lu."

Ziying's voice sounded from behind, she quickly closed her eyes, and when she turned around again, she was smiling again.

"...Dinner is ready."

A sumptuous game meal, the four of them ate until the sky was full of stars outside.

In fact, when it comes to eating, it is mainly Yun Tianhe who is eating.The other three finished eating in a short while, and just sat there chatting with their chopsticks.Lingsha talked endlessly about "Sister Han"'s deeds in the ghost world one by one. Hearing that, Yun Tianhe wanted to go to the ghost world immediately, but was worried about being scolded by Yun Tianqing.Liu Mengli kept her mouth shut, and Ziying was the most silent as before, but occasionally forced by Lingsha, she had to say a few words.

After the meal, Liu Mengli started to clean up the dishes. Although Yun Tianhe couldn't see, he surrounded her and said he wanted to help.Lingsha didn't want to disturb them, so she went out of the wooden house and sat on the big rock by the stream to watch the stars.This Qingluan Peak towers into the night sky, and the stars above its head are so bright and big that they seem to be within reach.She looked up for a while, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Ziying walking towards here.

"Miss Lu." Ziying stood still three steps away.

"Ok?"

"Next... where are you going?"

Lingsha thought for a moment.

"... Now, I only have one last treasure left. But before that, I need to borrow one thing from you."

Ziying didn't hesitate: "Girl, please tell me."

Lingsha stood up.Under the thin starlight, the outline of Ziying's face appeared gentle and clear.Her gaze slowly caressed the snowy hair, and finally, she rested on his eyes without dodging.

"... Nine Dragons Bound Silk Sword Spike."
