[Main Ancient Sword] Depend on each other

"Chu..." Li Yi finally opened her closed eyes, her vision was still hazy, and what caught her eyes was that familiar face, but there seemed to be something different about it. "Cold, so cold..."

"Calm your mind, you are insane!" the man said, a hot aura poured into her body through his tightly grasped shoulders, like a spring breeze, taking away the severe winter that froze her body, and bringing it back. She didn't know where she was floating.

"Hold Yuan Shou Yi, don't be turned back by Wang Shu." He frowned tightly, continuously sending the power of Yang Yan into her body.

It's so warm, I feel a ray of sunlight penetrating the darkness, illuminating that square inch of land.There is no more chaos and ignorance in front of the eyes, and there are green plants and trees breaking through the ground in this barren land, and delicate flowers are just about to bloom.Li Yi stretched out her hand in a daze, wanting to embrace the warm sunshine, but touched the soft, warm cheek.

The man's breathing stopped for a moment, and the hand on her shoulder was stiff and awkward, but because her breathing was still unstable and she was unconscious, she couldn't let go and escape.He could only maintain this weird posture, and let the opponent's hand move around his face expressionlessly.

Perhaps it was because of Wang Shu's coldness, her hands were extremely cold, just like her eyes that glowed with blue light but were out of focus, they carried a weirdness different from the past.After a long while, she seemed to confirm something, as if she had broken through the ice, the strange air dissipated, and a smile mixed with reassurance, satisfaction and attachment appeared on her face.That smile is like a newly blooming daisy, pure and flawless.

In his impression, Li Yi always curled the corners of his mouth just right, not so much as a smile, but as a kind of alienation that seemed to be polite.He always thought that she was the same as him, self-restraining and prudent in words and deeds, never thought that this might also be a mask of unwillingness to open her heart and communicate with others.

The cold air was suppressed by the Yang Yan's breath, and Li Yi found that the face of the person in front of him gradually became clear, eyes, nose, mouth... and the vermilion coat of arms in the middle of the forehead.Not him, not Chu Huang.The smile on his face faded, and he perfectly returned to the most suitable arc on weekdays, fixed.

"Senior Brother Xuan Xiao." As if sensing the other party's stiffness, Li Yi immediately withdrew her hands that were making trouble. "Okay."

Hearing this, he stopped suppressing Wang Shu, and took a step back to distance himself from Li Yi.

"Sorry, can I take a break today?"

On the Juanyun platform, Li Yi sat on the ground, plucking the strings with a heavy heart.The sound of the piano is like the voice of the heart, and a good Yangchun Baixue is played by her, giving off a sense of desolation and desolation of all things.

Shuangxiu, as Chu Huang said, is not an easy task. She just hesitated a little, and she went into a madness directly, and the cold air invaded her body.If it wasn't for Xuan Xiao's full suppression, she must have been frozen by Wang Shu, and she would never wake up again, right?But even so, she still couldn't confide in him, so she just ran out.

She knew that Xuan Xiao was a gentleman, and intellectually understood that he should not treat her differently because of her mind-reading power, but she didn't know why she couldn't take that step.She was afraid and didn't dare to gamble, even if there was only a 1% chance of losing, she didn't dare to gamble.There are so few things in this world that she has, and she wants to hold on tightly to any of them, feeling that once she lets go, she will fall back to that deep and dark underground again, beyond redemption.

"Why don't you keep playing?"

"Xuan, Senior Brother Xuanxiao?" Li Yi turned her head in surprise, and found that the man was standing behind her, and it seemed that he had been here for a while.

"Without Wang Shu, I won't benefit from being alone." He came over and sat down beside her. "Cultivation also emphasizes relaxation and restraint. It is not a good strategy to blindly advance."

That Xuan Xiao who always advised her not to be distracted by trivial matters would suddenly say such words one day, Li Yi couldn't react for a while.

"Senior brother also understands rhythm?" Thinking of the messy Yangchun Baixue just now, Li Yi felt a little ashamed.

"I don't understand." His answer was decisive and frank. "I'm different from my elder brother. I'm not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. To me, the piano is only the difference between noisy and non-quarrelsome."

"Then what do you usually like to do?"

"Practice the sword."

"..." Hearing the answer that he didn't know whether to say it was expected or unexpected, Li Yi felt silently speechless. "Well, what about when you're in a bad mood?"

"Practice the sword."

"...What about when you're in a good mood?"

"Practice the sword."

"What about when you don't want to practice swords?"

Xuan Xiao finally turned his head and took a look at her, as if he understood what she wanted to know.

"If I had to talk about it, I would watch the starry sky at night." With one hand behind his back, he looked up at the night sky. "The Milky Way hangs in the sky and the stars are shining brightly, which makes one's heart wide open."

"I don't know if after becoming a fairy, I will be able to stretch out my hand to pick up the stars." Li Yi stretched out, watching the starlight leaking from the gap between his fingers, as if he could really grab it by stretching out his hand.

"Yes, after becoming a fairy, you can do anything, and it's no problem to merely reach the stars."

"...No, no, no, I'm just talking casually, senior brother Xuan Xiao must not take it seriously." I always feel that in Xuan Xiao's consciousness, immortal seems to be a word with the same concept as Pangu Zhulong. "The heavens, the earth and the stars are all transformed by Pan Gu's body, even an immortal would not be able to touch them."

"If you don't try everything, how do you know you can't do it? You are always so pessimistic, even if you can do it, you will lose to your own heart."

She originally wanted to say that it had nothing to do with being pessimistic or not, but when she thought about what she was struggling with, she choked up.Xuan Xiao's expression was as calm as ever, as if the rhetoric of reaching out for the stars just now did not come from his mouth, which gave her the illusion that nothing in the world would shake his mind.

"Senior Brother Xuan Xiao, I have something I want to tell you."

After returning to the forbidden area, Li Yi told Yu Xuanxiao that she could read minds.

"So, that's why we haven't been able to make any progress?"

Li Yi stretched out her left hand, took off the ring in front of him, and put it on her right hand.

【Yes.If I want to continue, I must open my spiritual power at all times, and I will know everything that Brother Xuan Xiao thinks in his heart.But I can guarantee that I will wear a ring to lock my ability when I am not practicing. 】

Hearing this, Xuan Xiao frowned slightly.He is an upright person, so he will not have the heart of a wicked villain, but he does not have this kind of thought, and it is different from letting Li Yi know what he thinks at any time.

[Brother Xuan Xiao, are you still willing to double cultivate with Li Yi now? 】

"I, Xuan Xiao, ask myself that I am worthy of the sky, and I am not ashamed of others. My thoughts are all about the honor and disgrace of my master, and my heart is nothing but the way of the sword. There is nothing that is afraid of being known." Xuan Xiao's His inner voice was completely consistent with his words, "Since I have decided to double cultivate with you, I will not regret it."

Li Yi showed a smile, and his heart was full of warmth.

[So... I would like to thank you brother for your understanding. 】Li Yi thought that there would always be a trace of hesitation in Xuan Xiao's heart, but no, his voice was extremely firm, which made her really admire him. [Just about this matter...]

"Don't worry, I won't tell others." She chose to release her spiritual powers at this point, obviously giving up self-protection for the sake of double cultivation, Xuan Xiao knew it well. "Li Yi is willing to trust me, and I will not live up to this trust."

Xuan Xiao is really a very upright person, he stands upright, fearless and fearless.

It really... made her feel envious.

After Li Yi no longer restrained his spiritual power, the condensate between the two finally entered the formal stage.At first, the spiritual energy didn't interfere with each other, but after getting used to each other slowly, they began to mix gradually, mixed with Wang Shuxi's and one cold and one hot spiritual energy, and began to swim in the bodies of the two.This feeling is very mysterious, as if at that moment, the bodies of the two merged together, no longer distinguishing each other.

No wonder the books always say that people who have experienced double cultivation will have a much better relationship than ordinary people. This feeling of being half of each other is more bound and closer than blood relationship.

"Li Yi, hold your breath and concentrate, don't think wildly."

"Oh."

Nine months later, after completing the initial stage of double cultivation, when the two walked out of the forbidden area again, they felt as if they were separated from each other.After these nine months of cultivation, the two have made a qualitative leap in their cultivation.Not to mention Xuan Xiao, even Li Yi, who is of average aptitude, has almost caught up with Platycodon grandiflora and Cang Zhu, who are far behind.

It wasn't until this moment that she understood why Xuan Xiao became his host like a moth to a flame, knowing that practicing Xi He had such side effects.Even she was deeply in awe of Wang Shu's great power.

After passing the initial running-in period smoothly, the future practice will no longer require a long period of retreat, and you can come out and walk around occasionally.The two made an appointment to return to the forbidden area after three days to continue, rest these few days, and change their moods.

Li Yi immediately ran to look for Bellflower and Cangzhu, but found that they were neither practicing swords in Jianwuping nor alchemy in the alchemy room. After asking, he said that he saw them going to the back mountain.I must be feeling bored like her, so let's go for a walk in Zuihuayin to collect herbs.

Li Yi thought about giving them a surprise later, while running towards the back mountain.At the same time, Xuan Xiao had just entered the main hall of Qionghua to report the progress of his cultivation to Master Taiqing.

"Master, Elder Qingyang, you have lived up to your trust. We have successfully passed the adjustment period, and we will be able to enter the formal sword training period in three days."

"Okay, okay, I really didn't misunderstand the person as a teacher." Master Taiqing was very pleased, since the two of them have passed the most important period safely, as long as they practice steadily in the future, there will be no more problems. "Li Yi, how's the situation?"

"The disciple respectfully obeyed the master's instructions and did not tell her about the ascension of the Jupai, but..." Li Yi's spiritual power is very special, and he can ignore everything and directly see the inner thoughts of the other party.Although he has always announced the matter of ascension, there is no guarantee that he will not accidentally think of it in the forbidden area.Although Li Yi never asked, he couldn't guarantee that she would never know.

Because they didn't know what was special about Li Yi, the elders obviously misunderstood Xuan Xiao's meaning.

"We also know that it's not good to hide it like this, but you have to understand, Xuan Xiao, Li Yi is not a disciple of my Qionghua Sect after all, and this matter is related to the survival of the sect, so there is nothing we can do about it." Xuan Xiao is an upright gentleman , this kind of concealment is against his usual principles of life. Elder Qingyang knows this very well, but he can only understand it with reason.

"That's right, when the time is right, we will personally inform her about this matter, and then she will decide whether she is willing to help me in Qionghua's ascension plan."

"Dare to ask Master, if Li Yi...she doesn't want to?"

"Xuan Xiao, you just need to know that no matter what decision she makes in the end, we will not make things difficult for her."

The author has something to say: Xuan Xiao said that I only love swords.
