Return

Chapter 8

The years in the river are easy to pass, and I don't know how much the outside world has changed.

Mr. Jingquan had just left the pass, he wanted to go to Luoxiang Mansion first to see Jin Mi who had returned from a catastrophe, but he heard rumors.The Taihu Shui Clan violated the rules of heaven, Ye Shen took the responsibility for the mother clan, and suffered [-] lightning punishments, and now he is confined to the Xuanji Palace to recuperate his wounds, staying at home.

She was so startled that her eyes went dark, and she hurried to the heaven.Along the way, he paid attention to the gossip between Xiaoxian and pieced together a general idea of ​​the cause.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Mr. Jingquan turned into mist and quietly sneaked into Xuanji Palace.

He has always hung night cloth stars at night.But at this time, because of her serious injuries, she was quietly sleeping on the bed in the bedroom of Xuanji Palace, even when she was asleep, her brows were tightly locked.

Mr. Jingquan sat beside his bed, staring at his unsteady expression even when he fell asleep, and suddenly remembered the last time he saw him so sick and weak.At that time, she was still a little fairy in the nine heavens who had never been trained by the human world, knowing neither life nor death, nor suffering.Enduring the pain, he asked her to sign the marriage certificate, she signed it, and helped him onto the bed.

Just like at this moment, his face was pale and his forehead was wet with sweat.But it was like a little bit of stars fell in his eyes, he held her hand and said: "I'm so happy." Except for the sickness, it was a completely different situation.

Mr. Jingquan stretched out his hand, and gently opened Runyu's slightly loose neckline.Below the collarbone, the scar is still entrenched so shockingly that no one dares to touch it.She frowned, feeling her eye sockets were wet, sighed and said to herself, "So...that's how your scar came about."

Since the reunion, this was the closest she was to him, her fingers were only an inch away from his warm chest.Relying on Runyu's ignorance of personnel affairs, she can finally look at him unscrupulously.It seems to want to make up for what was lost in the past, and to see what is impossible in the future.

Mr. Jingquan didn't know why, how seamlessly he concealed and restrained himself before, but looking at him who is fragile at this moment, he seems to have become extraordinarily fragile.The tears that flowed blurred his vision.

Afraid of revealing the clues, she hastily recited a drowsy spell, and then murmured to the person on the bed: "I'm sorry. There is one thing that I didn't even tell Fairy Palm Lantern. I'm afraid my time is running out. It’s going to disappear.” She looked at him bewilderedly, “When I think of that day, I would rather none of you know me, and I would rather be dead for more than 3000 years.”

Suddenly he smiled unconsciously, recalling: "I cultivated in a daze under the mirror spring, like a cloud of mist in the abyss, at first I didn't even know who I was. After 3000 years, I have almost forgotten everything , At that time, I actually didn't remember you very much. Your Highness, please don't blame me."

"But I met you in the Demon Realm, and you haven't changed at all. I suddenly felt that I remembered you more clearly than ever before. It's just that I can still bear it when I don't see you. But once I see you, I can't control myself not to think of you, and every time I think of you, I feel sorry for you."

"God is merciful, let me refine a form that can avenge my own death. God is merciful, my father and mother are now accompanied by Jin Mi, so it is finally comforting, so I won't be too lonely."

But those tearful eyes looked at him regretfully, "I also hope God will show mercy, and I hope Your Highness will not forget about it. I...I really have no choice."

"squeak--"

The door of the sleeping hall was pushed open, and Mr. Jingquan wiped away his tears a little and looked over.

It was the nightmare beast that opened the door of the palace a crack, and walked in with its head probing.When it saw the strange woman sitting by the bed at the moment, it seemed quite puzzled. Just as it was about to cry out, the woman put her index finger between her lips and looked here with a smile in her eyes.

The Nightmare Beast came forward and sniffed lightly in front of the woman for a while, the breath was indescribably familiar.He couldn't help letting down his vigilance, vomited a few dream beads, and then lay down beside the bed and fell asleep.

Mr. Jingquan looked at the yellow dream beads floating in front of his eyes, and there was no one in them that was not himself.

Sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, Runyu approached from behind, hugged her shoulders, and looked into the mirror with both eyes, both with the same smiling expression.Or he walked quietly behind Runyu who was reading a book, and covered his eyes with his hand, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to hold his own.Or he and the two of them kissed inseparably in the bedroom of Xuanji Palace.It was a charming and embarrassing scene, but she felt sad for a while, and the tears that had just stopped fell down again.

This night, I just cried intermittently, and at dawn, it turned into a cloud of smoke and dispersed.

*****

On the same night, Tu Yao Shi Shiran returned to Zifang Yun Palace.

At the time when she was proud, the Taihu Aquarium had been eliminated, and Runyu was dealt a fatal blow, and her heart, which was still in suspense, was at ease again.Everything went according to her wish, and it was supposed to be a night of peace and quiet, but she had a ghostly dream.

In the dream, she was still lying on the bed in Zifang Yungong, and a few candles were lit in the dark palace.

She slept very restlessly, and she heard a sound while waking up, something was approaching her.Tu Yao relied on his powerful mana and never took these monsters seriously, but now he was in a dream and couldn't help himself, so he felt a little panic for no reason.

A black shadow flashed outside the door, and several candles in the hall were extinguished, and the already dark room became even darker, with only a hazy white light shining through the window from the moonlight.

A voice said from far to near: "Give it back to me...Give it back to me..."

No one could tell whose voice it was, but Tuyao's heart couldn't help pounding in her chest. She tried her best to control herself and opened her eyes in the dream.

The voice kept saying "Give it back to me...Give it back to me", moving from far to near.When it was far away, it seemed that someone was standing outside the door calling, trying to lure her out, but Tu Yao sat cross-legged on the bed anxiously, unmoved.When it was close, it seemed that the thing was entrenched under her bed, and when it made a sound, it seemed that the bed board was shaking slightly.He only hears his voice but does not see his person.

She was anxious, and suddenly remembered the scene when she saw the pulsatilla before.The pulsatilla looked haggard and said, "I'm dying every night now."

Tu Yao panicked and angry.He snorted bitterly.I thought, it's just in a dream, no matter what monster it is, even if it's the Tathagata Buddha, what can it do to me!

Jiang will focus his eyes on the bed, and the voice "Give it back to me!" exploded in his ears.Tu Yao was startled, and turned her head to look, the thing was very close to her face at the moment, and they were looking at each other.

In fact, it shouldn't be called a human being, it doesn't even have a human shape, it's just a black shadow, which can barely outline a huge and bloated outline, and the edges are scattered in the air like clouds.The face opposite her couldn't really be called a face, it was white with only a few black holes.

Those eye-like holes seemed to be able to suck her in, and countless pairs of black sharp claws protruded from them, trying to grab her and tear her apart.

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" The voice seemed to resound in her mind, and it exploded in her head one after another, causing her to be in a trance, flustered and short of breath.

The black shadow did not recede at all, but approached her more and more, and the black mist had already stained her pajamas.Tu Yao subconsciously looked at the bronze mirror in front of the bed, which reflected her current self.

Surrounded by the black mist, only a pale face with disheveled hair was exposed. The next moment, the black shadow entangled her tightly, and blood flowed from the eyes, nose, mouth and lips.

give me back!give me back!

Tu Yao screamed and woke up from the dream, panting heavily, and inadvertently looked into the bronze mirror not far away.In the mirror, his face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot.

For some unknown reason, she hurriedly called her attendants: "Quickly ask, what's the matter with Pulsatilla!" Died in the room."

In the blank, only one picture crashed into Tu Yao's mind.When she went to see Pulsatilla for the last time, he said breathlessly, "When I get retribution, who will be next."

During the day, Ping Bai broke out in a cold sweat.

*****

When Runyu woke up, Xuanji Palace was empty.There was only a note on the head of the bed.

It was Mr. Jingquan's handwriting, which briefly read: I left the customs last night, I saw you in a hurry, I hope you will cherish it.

The cold words in black and white, it seems that behind the handwriting, the man has been soaked in spring water for a long time, with a cold heart and soul.

He even had expectations, thinking that if she could be by his side, even if only for a moment, he would not hate or hurt so much.But this thin note was like a sharp thorn, which made him annoyed and resentful. He was obviously the person he loved the most, the person he wanted to hug in his arms even in his dreams, but this resentment was nothing compared to being loved by the Queen of Heaven. Three thousand lightning strikes are rare.

It was as if all my infatuation had been thrown into the sea, washed away by the waves.

His eyes were flushed, and he controlled himself not to choke up, his black eyes were full of deepness that was about to come.

*****

Runyu originally had no intention of going to Fairy Zhangdeng.Firstly, he believed in his own feelings, and always wanted to wait for Jingquan-jun to confess himself; secondly, although Jingquan-jun knew Fairy Zhangdeng and seemed to have a close relationship, if she really wasn't Huaixi, then he would go rashly. Temptation, it is unavoidable to startle the snake and seem weird.

He knew that Fairy Palm Lantern lived in seclusion, but she always liked to go to a broken bridge on the north side of Tianhe River in the middle of the month, and Ben Tete waited there.He also often went to various places in Tianhe before, so he didn't seem to do it deliberately.

Sure enough, I saw her the next day.

Fairy Palm Lantern saluted him, and he also bowed respectfully: "I haven't seen Fairy for a long time, so Fairy is fine." The loneliness in his brows and eyes was obvious.

After the public execution in the main hall that day, who in the heavenly world does not know the situation of His Royal Highness Ye Shen.Fairy Zhangdeng watched Runyu grow up, so she couldn't help but comforted: "The Empress Dowager's move is not fair, but Your Highness needs to relax, the most important thing is to take good care of your body at this moment."

Runyu thanked him, looked at the endless Tianhe River outside the broken bridge, and suddenly said quietly: "It's strange to say, it's been so long. I've been recuperating in Xuanji Palace recently, and I always think of Huaixi."

Fairy Zhangdeng also showed nostalgia, and sighed: "Yes, Xi'er did have a close relationship with His Highness in the past, and often went to sit in your palace."

Runyu smiled wryly, and confided: "I have been alone for a long time, and every time I think of the days when I was with her in the past, no matter how much I was wronged at that time, I feel that I can not take it to heart when I have her greetings and care. Now Being alone, the more I miss the past time. The more I miss it, the more I can't help blaming her." At the end, his voice became more and more serious, and there was actually a hint of resentment.

The Lantern Fairy knew Huai Xi's situation well, her heart felt as if she was being squeezed tightly at this moment, and she said sadly for her: "When Xi'er was still there, there was nothing wrong with His Highness, how could His Highness Ye Shen hate her?"

Runyu had paid attention to her expression from the very beginning, and seeing that she was already emotional, she also frowned, and said calmly: "She treats me badly in no way, it's Runyu who is bad. It's Runyu who treats me badly. Resentment arises from love, resentment that she didn't say a word before she left, and didn't hear from her after she left, and also resentment that she couldn't see my concern and infatuation..." As I spoke, I was also emotional.

Fairy Zhangdeng listened, only feeling suspicious and surprised: "Your Highness..." Could it be that he has a crush on her?He didn't ask the question, but his expression was very clear.

Runyu smiled bitterly: "It's just my own ignorance."

But Fairy Zhangdeng was full of thoughts.His Highness Ye Shen has a crush on Huai Xi, but she has never heard Huai Xi mention it, does she know?If she knows that there is still someone in this world who will remember her for 3000 years, will she feel nostalgic joy in her heart?But looking at the indifferent and frustrated Ye Shen in front of her, and remembering the complaint he said, her heart was full of bitterness again.

How rare is this love, is Xi'er destined not to get it?She was trapped under the mirror spring, struggling for an elusive way of life, how could she be resented for this helpless waiting?

She thought about it silently, her eyes were slightly wet.But Runyu suddenly said lightly: "Forget it, I don't want her anymore."

These words seemed to have stabbed Fairy Zhangdeng's weakness, and she even had a hint of anger: "How can Your Highness blame Xi'er! She is powerless, she—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Runyu looked at her suspiciously.However, Fairy Zhangdeng's complexion was tangled, her lips and teeth were slightly parted, as if she was trying to say something, but she couldn't pronounce half a syllable.Impatient but powerless, the eye sockets were flushed with blood.

This matter was beyond Runyu's expectation, he frowned, not daring to jump to conclusions: "Forbidden spell?"

It took a long time for Fairy Zhangdeng to calm down, and when she looked at Runyu, her eyes were full of powerlessness and sadness: "Look, Your Highness, I will never talk about this matter in my life."

Runyu just frowned in thought.It's not that he hasn't guessed, but at this moment, it seems that everything is hidden, which is beyond his expectation.He quickly sorted out his thoughts, trying to connect the whole incident in series, looking for a reasonable explanation.

But Fairy Zhangdeng continued: "Xi'er has a hard time to say, please His Highness Ye Shen don't blame her. His Highness Ye Shen said that he loves Xi'er, but if even His Highness misunderstands her, how can she be sad...... "

She hesitated for a long time, as if she had made a very difficult decision, she took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Runyu.

It was a red candle, almost burnt to the end, leaving only a short stump.

"It took me thousands of years to condense the remaining candlelight into this little dot. I originally wanted to hand it over to the water god, but Xi'er refused." She said.

"Light it up, and the candle will reflect everything in that year."
