The second story of the ancient sword II

The cigarette was cold and silent, and the snow light reflected into the hall, spreading onto the people who were lying at the desk.The sky was twilight, he raised his head, blinked, and the things in front of him gradually became clear.Pushing open the gate of the palace, looking out, overnight, the dazzling white color spread far away inside and outside the imperial city.The soreness in his shoulders made his heart startled. He actually slept in front of the table in the Tai Chi Hall and didn't return all night. I don't know if Luer waited for a long time, and A Ruan's spiritual power... No, no , I was confused, I had already invited my senior sister here, thinking that when I was not around, she would help me take care of everything.Let's wait for the sky to clear up and go take a look.

Walking in the corridor, the pink plum blossoms outside the hall are in full bloom, and the slightly dark fragrance fills the cold air.Consciousness gradually blurred, as if returning to the night after the battle in Liuyue City, I took A Ruan to Taihua Mountain to find the master to seal the spiritual power, and stayed in the cave that night.It is also in such a world of ice and snow, if time stops at that moment, how good would it be?In a blink of an eye, Luer is four years old, time really flies...

In the morning of winter snow, the sky is bright and fast, and I have already walked into the courtyard of the Purple Orchid Hall without knowing it.The palace guards on duty for the night had already left, and the palace was full of jubilation. The maids who came in and out had already brought the princess's washing items and new winter clothes.

"Lu'er, be good, wear an extra coat so that my uncle can take you out to play." Senior sister Yiqing tied her hair and helped Lu'er get dressed.

"Lu'er doesn't like to wear so many clothes, how can it be so cold..." Lu'er looked at the clothes laid out on the bed with great reluctance: "Uncle, is this wearing clothes? How about making zongzi..."

"Ha... What a little ghost! This is what your father said to wear. Let me tell you, your father wears a lot in winter, cotton trousers, cotton jackets, cotton robes... the whole Taihuaguan Can't wear without him..."

"Cough cough cough..." There was a slight cough at the door, and Yi Ze's figure flashed across the corner of Yi Qing's eyes.

"Is... speaking ill of me?"

"Oh, hahahaha...how can there be..." Yiqing quickly winked at Luer: "I just want Luer to be obedient and wear more clothes like a junior."

"Senior sister... oh..." Yi Ze helplessly held his forehead.

"What, headache? Let me see." Yiqing walked up to Yi Ze: "Oh, my eye circles are all black and blue, and I haven't slept all night! You are... ruining yourself again."

"Last night... there were a lot of things to do, thinking that my senior sister is here..."

"What if I don't come?" Yiqing looked at Lu'er and A Ruan who was still sleeping, "I didn't let go of your empress's hand last night; and Lu'er, a naughty fellow, sleep a bit They are all restless. In the past few years, my stories have been written intermittently, junior brother, I have lost a lot of money, and there is no way to earn a lot of money."

"Senior Sister, you've worked hard." Yi Ze chuckled, "These juniors have to bear it one by one. Later, I will find a good husband and marry my senior sister."

"What?!" Yi Qing's eyes widened, and he smiled awkwardly: "This... this... I think it's better to think about it in the long run." Seeing Yi Ze's malicious smile, Yi Qing quickly changed the subject: " Sending spiritual power to your daughter-in-law for the past few nights seems to be a little strange, I wonder if you felt it before?"

"Is it Ah Ruan..." Yi dared not say any more, for fear that something would happen to her.

"Look at your nervousness." Yiqing hugged Luer off the bed when she was fully dressed. Replenishing her spiritual power, she absorbed it slowly, and a lot of it was wasted; but last night, I felt that I absorbed more, and wasted a lot less. I was so nervous that I didn't dare to sleep all night." Yi Qing said while stretching: "How about I go back and call all the disciples of the water and wood attribute in Taihua Temple to help you?"

"This... how can we bother everyone?" Yi Ze stared at A Ruan who was still sleeping in the bed curtain, and his heart was churning: "Senior sister, go back to sleep."

Yi soaked the soft silk handkerchief, and carefully wiped Ah Ruan's pale cheeks and fingers.He held her wrist and carefully felt the pulse. It seemed to be a little stronger than before, but it was still as cold as snow.

"Ah Ruan..." Yi Ze stared at her face, "...do you know? Luer has grown into a little girl, who can sing and dance just like you...Brother Le's son is almost four years old now It will be Luer's birthday in a few days, and they will all come to the palace to spend it with Luer. If you can wake up... that would be great..." Yi Ze kissed her fair fingers with warm lips.

Eh, it seems that Yi Ze is right beside me, Ah Ruan vaguely smells a fresh smell like ice and snow, where am I?In the palace?Taihua Temple?It's still Wushan... Ah Ruan carefully felt the subtle changes in his surroundings.I want to open my eyes, but my eyelids are as heavy as a boulder; I want to shout out, but my throat seems to be blocked; I want to grab something, but my limbs are all numb, and I can't hold anything... I Has it turned into a weed?How long did I sleep?Yi Ze once said that the half-human, half-demon appearance is disgusting, but my current appearance can be regarded as beyond recognition... Yi Ze, do you despise me?Among the sleeping Ah Ruan's five senses, the sense of smell seemed to have opened up a weak thread.

As soon as the winter solstice passed, the princess's birthday was just around the corner, and the Purple Orchid Hall became more and more busy.In the evening, Yi came back early to eat with his daughter.

"What do you want for this year's birthday?" Yi Ze put some vegetables in his daughter's bowl.

"Hmm... Let me think about it..." Lu'er put her chin in her hands and pretended to be in deep thought, "...Mmm...Well, I don't want so much, as long as Daddy plays with me!"

"Huh?" Yi Ze was stunned for a moment, his daughter said the same thing to his wife, and the scene of Xing Luoyan's first embrace seemed to appear before his eyes.After being stunned for a moment, Yi opened his mouth and said to Luer: "Then, take Luer to a mysterious place tomorrow."

"Huh, a mysterious place?"

"Well, keep it secret for now!" The father and daughter met their foreheads and smiled at each other.

The light was slightly warm, the sun was slanting towards the west, and the reddish afterglow sprinkled over the snow-covered Chang'an City. As soon as Yi Ze left the gate of the Tai Chi Hall after dealing with the government affairs, he saw that Luer was already waiting on the long corridor at the entrance of the main hall.Shui Lingling's big eyes kept looking inside, expecting his father to appear soon.On the small double bun, some blue-purple flowers were inserted on both sides, and the soft bangs were gently parted, revealing a smooth forehead, and a faint blush on the plump cheeks.

As soon as she saw Yi Ze coming out, Lu'er hurried over: "Daddy, Daddy, do you still remember what you said last night? It doesn't count if you can't talk."

"Huh? What did I say?" Yi Ze smiled and bent down to straighten Lu'er's collar.

"It's a mysterious place!" Lu'er said close to his ear, "Daddy quickly use magic to transform us there! Lu'er has been waiting for you all day."

"Okay." Yi Ze simply agreed, and brought Lu'er to a secluded place.In the past few years, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and there is no disturbance in the palace. This teleportation technique is hardly used anymore, and it only changes a few times to make Luer happy occasionally.

The blue light flashed, and the world suddenly changed in front of my eyes. It was an ordinary residential building in an alley. The sun had already set in the west, and the room was hazy.

"Huh, is this the mysterious place Daddy said?" Lu'er blinked her eyes in dissatisfaction, the surroundings were ordinary.

"This is a separate residence that Daddy set up earlier, and it was the home with your mother." Yi Ze lit a candle, and the orange light filled the whole house. The furnishings in the house were as old as before, although the furniture and everything were covered with dust. , but the long-lost sense of warmth is still full of Yi Ze's feelings.Scenes from the past came to my heart one by one, and Ah Ruan's frowns and smiles seemed to be right in front of my eyes.

"Father... When will Mother wake up? If she wakes up, what will she say to Luer? Will she like Luer?" Luer's little hand shook the corner of Yi Ze's clothes.

"Hmm... Father doesn't know when mother will wake up." Yi Ze squatted down and stroked Lu'er's forehead, with the corners of his mouth forced upwards: "...she must like Lu'er."

"Daddy...why are you crying?" Luer stretched out her warm little hand to cover Yize's cheek, and her fingertips rested on the place where the tears flowed: "It turns out that Daddy is sad sometimes... Isn't Luer What did you say wrong?"

"No...no, Luer is the most obedient." Yi Ze stood up, "Daddy... didn't cry, how could Daddy cry? That's... because of being too tired, he yawned and squeezed out some tears ah……"

"Ah."

"Hey... Hey..." There was an intermittent humming sound suddenly from the corner of the room.this voice?Yi Ze suddenly woke up!

A corner of the floor-to-ceiling curtain rolled, protruding into a rounded shape.Yi Ze opened the curtain, and a pair of small purple eyes were looking at him under his feet, and his pink body still didn't grow bigger.Yi Ze leaned over and picked up the little guy at his feet, full of surprise: "Liu Li pig, so you are here!"

"Hey!" Little Pig's eyes filled with excitement, and his voice was eager and full of affection.After seeing Yi Ze's face clearly, she went straight into his arms excitedly.It seems to be telling Yi Ze that he only knows this place, so after Xiaohong rolled down on his back, he came back here after a lot of hardships. After waiting for a long time, I still haven't seen you come back to look for me.

"Hey, Daddy, is this a birthday present for Lu'er? It's so cute!" Lu'er stood on tiptoe and looked at the little pig with wide eyes.

"This is your mother's former spirit beast." Yi Ze stroked the little pig, "It seems that it hasn't grown much in the past few years. It has been four years, and it must have suffered a lot."

"Hey!" The little pig screamed eagerly again, motioning to Yi Ze to look at the shiny flower on its forehead, as if to say, although I am not tall, my spiritual power has increased a lot!

This must be the best thing these days, and Yi Ze was very relieved to have picked up the piglet.
