Return

Runyu handed an invitation to Mr. Jingquan, saying that her injury has recovered, and invited her to have a small gathering.

Mr. Jingquan didn't doubt that he was there, so he went to the appointment.As soon as he walked into the gate of Xuanji Palace, he saw a chessboard on a stone table in the courtyard, with tea cooking beside it.She walked in and saw her chest throbbing.After such a long time, she couldn't tell whether the chess game was an unfinished endgame 3000 years ago, and whether the tea smelled like the tea they most often drank 3000 years ago.

The owner of Xuanji Palace was sitting on the edge of the stone table. When he saw her coming, he poured two cups of tea leisurely and said with a gentle smile, "Sit."

But Mr. Jingquan hesitated, feeling that today he is different from usual for no reason.can not say it clearly.Not only him, his demeanor, even the tables and chairs in his palace, the stone road and the moon cave door, all carry a hint of arrest and erosion, and they are no longer polite.Like an ignorant and innocent little beast, she was urged and seduced by him, and walked into the vortex he built.

Seeing her hesitation, Runyu gestured gently and patiently to the stone bench beside her, and watched her ask for it again: "Long time no see, don't you recognize me? Sit down."

Mr. Jingquan still sat down.

Very weird.The distance between the two stone benches was different from usual, instead of facing each other across the table, they were slightly close together, and when they sat down, their knees would touch each other.

Her whole body was enveloped in his aura.His dull face didn't show, but he felt uneasy in his heart, and didn't know what to say.

Runyu invited her to drink tea again, and she drank it as if ordering and moving.Just listen to Runyu said: "My Xuanji palace is simple and desolate, and I'm afraid I'll neglect you. Fortunately, you like quietness as before, and you never dislike me."

Jingquan-Jun raised his head abruptly, and was looking into Runyu's gentle and hot eyes, alarm bells were ringing in his heart.

Which used to be?The past before going to the Wangchuan River retreat?Or earlier?

The amazement at the moment would only seem queer.Then she lowered her eyes again, calmly perfunctory, and changed the topic: "Where. I was so troubled by trivial matters that I never came to visit His Highness Ye Shen, His Highness Ye Shen, don't blame me."

"I don't blame you." Runyu smiled again, but his eyes were fixed on her so closely all the time, "Is the road to Xuanji Palace going smoothly? Have you ever lost your way and taken a wrong path?"

Mr. Jingquan took a sip of his tea to hide his nervousness, and said, "When I attended the Queen's birthday banquet with His Royal Highness, I remembered the route clearly. It went smoothly and I never made a mistake."

Runyu followed closely, and asked again: "Since I remember clearly, why haven't you come back to take a look after so long?"

She only thought he asked casually, and reminded him: "Did Your Highness forget? I'm going to Wangchuanhe for retreat..." But it stopped abruptly, and she was so shocked that her heart beat like a drum.

It was Runyu who firmly grasped her wrist.

This is not something that the gentle and jade-like Ye Shen Highness would do.She had no choice but to raise her head to look at him, but she looked into his abyss-like black eyes, his eye sockets were red again, and his eyes were full of resentment and greed.Runyu grabbed her hand, looked at each other, and asked again: "Why didn't you come back to see me after so long?"

Mr. Jingquan seemed to be infected by him, and his eyes were red, but he stubbornly pretended to be calm, and pulled the lie to the end: "His Royal Highness's tea is really extraordinary, and he even drunk himself, talking about such nonsense Come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes were full of rain, and there was deep anger in the eyes.She squeezed her hand harder, and she frowned subconsciously in pain.

But Runyu didn't let go, his eyes were full of pain and love, and finally he gritted his back molars and chanted her name: "Huaixi." The name rolled on the tip of his tongue thousands of times, Finally confided.

Huaixi.

This name, the name pronounced by the person in front of her, seemed to ignite a fire under the lake of her heart. Mr. Jingquan only felt that the joy, anger, sorrow and joy were rolling in in an instant, turning out waves one after another, wanting to Her whole body was blown away.

That involuntary sense of drift also came.Ever since she came out of the Wangchuan River, she hasn't experienced the powerlessness and panic of being dominated by it for a long time.

"How do you know?" Her throat was hot, and the words she asked were so soft, but she could hear that her voice had become like a broken gong.The bland face gradually fades away, what kind of face will emerge in the next moment?

Runyu couldn't bear to tell her that she saw the bloody scenes back then, and only then did she support her conjectures. She took a deep breath and said, "I've missed you for more than three thousand years. I don't recognize what it looks like?" He made a gesture to hug her.

"Do not touch me!"

She was so startled that she shook off his hand holding her tightly, turned her back, flicked it with one hand, and the ghost mask with blue face and fangs appeared on her face again.

You see, you see.Just hearing him pronounce his own name is unbearable.His Majesty the Heavenly Realm, has always been extremely intelligent and subtle. It's not like she didn't think that he would notice.It's her bad.Wouldn't it be more appropriate to just ignore him at the beginning?If he rejected all his invitations, would he be able to keep the secret to the end?

But how many things in this world are "uncontrollable"?How could she be willing to reject him?

At this time, a warm body was attached behind him.It was Runyu who hugged her vaguely from behind, and his hand still held her cold, temperatureless wrist, but this time it was very gentle.

"After you left, I have had a hard time every day." He whispered these words in her ears, every word seemed to come out of a frying pan.It seemed to throw a pile of fire on her, and it seemed to throw her into a world of ice and snow.She didn't know what she had become. A mere ray of soul had been stable for thousands of years, and it seemed to be shattered at this moment.

His chest is so hot, his palms are so hot, at this moment, he hugs this cold, living dead self in his arms.I just feel the upside-down bitterness.

Overjoyed and greatly saddened, it was about to turn into a cloud of mist and go away.

Runyu's hand moved.He held Huai Xi's wrist for a while, then gently took off the bracelet on his right hand, and pushed it onto her wrist.

Strands of red threads flashed across the water-blue bracelets.The bracelet carried Huai Xi's former blood, and the person in his arms gradually calmed down.

"Don't touch me." Huaixi said softly again, but the hoarseness in her voice was a little less, and there was a little more clarity and stability in her voice.

Runyu was reluctant, but still let go of her arms according to the words, but took off her shoulders, and carefully took off the mask on her face face to face.

Her face has no longer changed, and it has returned to the dull face that Mr. Jingquan faced when he was facing him.Through that face, Runyu seemed to see all kinds of things about her in the past 3000 years, and his fragile and innocent Xi'er who was deeply hidden behind that.He couldn't take his eyes away from her, and he said as if he was relieved and promised, "Xi'er, don't be afraid. I will definitely find a way."

But the woman in front of her smiled wryly with red eyes: "Xi'er?"

She brushed Runyu's hand away from her shoulder, stood up quietly, and walked towards the pond beside the stone table.She stopped by the pond, looking at her blurred face reflected in the water.

She made a nostalgic statement, and told the people behind her: "Her name is Ayan, and she lives in a small village not far from Jingquan. I have stayed in Jingquan for more than 1000 years at that time, and I can hear clearly just now. The voices outside, but she is the one I hear the most." She stretched out her hand to caress her face, and Runyu knew she was talking about the owner of this face, the corpse hidden at the bottom of Jingquan Spring.

"She came to the spring to talk every evening, talking about the grievances she suffered at her husband's house, saying that her husband didn't care about her and said everything. When it was dark, she wiped her tears and went home silently." At that time, my consciousness was not complete, but I vaguely felt that I was different from her, and I seemed to have many, many favorites, so when I listened to her, I always had a trace of pity.

"In the daytime, I listen to the sounds of women playing and hawkers in the market from a distance, and the voices of scholars outing in the mountains and forests, composing poems and talking eloquently. Dress well. But it seems that they can't compare with her talking more, not as much as when she looks into the water."

Runyu sat at the table and listened quietly, frowning. He felt that he could wait for an answer to the puzzle he had been puzzled for a long time.

She went on to say: "I originally thought that she was looking at her own face in the water." But one day, she jumped straight in. "She has been sinking at the bottom of the spring, so I have been her the longest and most stable. I should actually thank her. Without her, I couldn't cultivate a body so quickly, but I am very confused." She turned Turning around, looking at him with tears in his eyes, he asked, "Your Highness, tell me, who am I?"

Needless to say, he understood.

The voice is different, the appearance is different, and there is no real body, only a wisp of soul, is Huaixi still Huaixi?

But why not?Even if there is only a little breath left, it is the Huaixi he thinks about day and night, the Huaixi who has been tortured for him because of Tu Yao's words "he is not worthy".It was Huaixi that he wanted to keep no matter what.

As early as the night when he knew the cause and effect, Runyu had already made his decision.Huaixi's words can't shake him one bit, but can only make him feel more distressed.He has never been so determined as this moment.He stood up and walked to her side. Just as he took her hand, he could feel her trembling and shrinking back: "Whose hand is your Highness holding now? I am Ah Yan, or the world in 2000 I don’t know which one among all living beings, don’t you think it’s weird for His Highness to hold my hand?”

She drew her hand back.

Runyu suddenly chuckled, and became more and more aware of the Huaixi look on her body, stubborn and endearing at the same time.She also said she wasn't.

But he made up his mind that he would not let her go. He managed to catch her and let her go. Where will he find her next time?Then she pursed her lips and said lightly: "It's okay. If you don't like me touching you, I won't touch you."

He stared at her with scorching eyes, but his tone was as casual as if he was discussing with her, "But I don't worry about you staying outside. The mortal atmosphere is mixed, which is not conducive to your cultivation. I want you to stay here until you find a way to recover." Practice in my Xuanji Palace."

Mr. Jingquan frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse.Really at the end of the road, is it going to be wiped out in front of his eyes?

Runyu explained again and said: "Since Xi'er left, my Xuanji Palace has not changed at all, and everything is the same as it was 3000 years ago. She has been here for 500 years, and the remaining breath is also beneficial to the solid soul." As if deliberately annoyed by her denying that she is Huaixi, Xi'er Xi'er's call was clearly distinguished from her.

Sure enough, she saw that her eye sockets were red again, and she couldn't hide the hurt in her eyes.She sighed softly, "No need." Even this aggrieved and rebuffed look is pleasing to the eye.

But Runyu snorted, and said solemnly: "You can't help but you don't agree. I'm only thinking about stabilizing your soul, why don't you accept it?" After all, before Mr. Jingquan cast a spell to dissipate and escape, you read one step ahead of her. With the magic spell, a stream of water appeared around her hands, holding her like a shackle.

Runyu Changhuaixi is nearly a thousand years old, and he is also a master of water spells, even in the past, he could not be defeated.What's more, now that the soul is fragmented and he is tired of retreating all day long.

Huai Xi looked at Runyu as if he didn't know him anymore, never expecting that a person who has always been as gentle as jade would be so overbearing after being rejected.But Runyu didn't take it seriously, curled the corners of her lips, swayed her fingers slightly in the void, and the chain on her wrist dragged her into the bedroom.

She was thrown on the bed in the sleeping hall, her body was so soft that she couldn't exert any strength, and when she got up, she found that Runyu had already cast a barrier at the entrance of the hall behind her.This is not good.Because she has no form, she can turn into nothingness anywhere, so she can crack the mechanism of Wanzong Pagoda that no one can crack.But it can't penetrate the real and seamless barrier, and of course it can't enter the palace sealed by ten thousand talismans.

Is he really going to be locked up here?What should I do when my soul is unstable?It was not easy for Tu Yao to get karma from Pulsatilla, what should he do now?

Runyu hooked her fingers again, and the chain made of water lifted her wrist to her eyes.He leaned over and looked at her at a distance of a wrist, gently tapped the water-blue bracelet on his wrist with his slender fingers, and said: "This is what Xi'er left behind, and now I give it to you. It is much better to use to strengthen your soul than Naoshizi's Wangchuan water."

Then she stood up, flicked her sleeves to remove the restraint from her hands, looked at her and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about other things, I will come to see you some other day."
