"Brother Xiao, these few months have been the happiest time in my life."
"Thank you for meeting you in Lingshan, and thank you for being with me these days. Come here, I respect you, little sister."
Zou Shuniang gave Xiao Hua a toast.
"Okay, I'll drink. Actually, I'm the one who should be grateful."
"I thought I was the only one in the whole Lingshan Mountain. Fortunately, I met you at the hot spring and I had a companion. Come on, I respect you too."
Xiao Hua also paid tribute to Zou Shuniang.
"This is fate. Come, for Brother Xiao's life-saving grace, I will respect you again."
Zou Shuniang raised her glass again.
"Well said, this is our fate, for you to teach me how to make alchemy, come on, I respect you."
Xiao Hua and Zou Shuniang started drinking, and they toasted to each other.
By the end, I couldn't find the right words to toast, so I just said whatever came to my mind, and even started to talk nonsense.
"For, for you, I will form a pill and leave tomorrow, drink."
Xiao Hua had a little too much and his tongue was numb.
"Okay, I'll drink, for the sake of your calamity, let's drink again."
Zou Shuniang was also a little slurred in speech.
"For, for what? Because, because I like you, but we can't be together, let's drink again."
Xiao Hua took another sip, but tears flowed out inexplicably.
"Brother Xiao, have you drunk too much? Are you okay?"
Zou Shuniang's eyes also began to turn red.
"Okay, why not? How can a man say no in front of a woman? Come on, let's take a deep breath."
Xiao Hua took another big sip, but as soon as he took this sip, his body began to tilt to one side.
Only one of the five bottles of spiritual wine is left. Xiao Hua really drank too much.
In a daze, Xiao Hua felt Mrs. Zou Shu coming over to support him, because he suddenly smelled a light body fragrance that was like orchid.
"No, Brother Xiao, you've fainted now. Are you still okay?"
"Okay, why not? Come on, pour the wine."
Xiao Hua shook his head vigorously to stay awake.
But when he turned to look at Zou Shuniang, a gust of fragrant wind flashed by, and a pair of plain-toothed red lips that smelled slightly of alcohol suddenly touched Xiao Hua's mouth.
Xiao Hua was stunned immediately, what happened?
Doesn't this happiness come too suddenly? It was so sudden that I couldn't refuse.
The moon in the sky is very round, and the moonlight outside the cave is beautiful. The bright moonlight shines in from the entrance of the cave, reflecting the two figures on the wall.
The spring breeze was blowing on my face, the whispers were whispering, the night was intoxicating, the night was long and soft...
Early the next morning, when Xiao Hua woke up, Zou Shuniang had already left.
On the square table in front of the bed, in addition to a bottle of high-strength spirit wine, there is a jade slip and a note, which were left by Zou Shuniang before she left.
"Brother Xiao, this jade slip is the formula for Qianyang Spirit Wine. The formula was obtained by our sect from an alien demon cultivator five hundred years ago. It is very precious."
"If you follow the recipe to find the elixir, the brewed spirit wine will be effective for the monks in the integration stage. You should take it easy and don't explode because of greed."
Xiao Hua couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and then looked down.
"Brother Xiao, I'm leaving. Although we met at the wrong time and in the wrong place, I don't regret it. Thank you."
"Thank you for bringing a touch of color to my gloomy life. If there is an afterlife, I think I will definitely meet you again. Forget me, Brother Xiao! We will see you in the next life."
Looking at the note in his hand, Xiao Hua was a little confused.
He understood that Zou Shuniang was really gone and was really going back to face her life.
Although he knew it was extremely painful for her to make such a decision, there was nothing he could do about it.
Looking at the red stains left by the big bed and smelling the faint body fragrance left on the soft leather quilt, Xiao Hua felt mixed emotions.
He was actually pushed back by Mother Zou Shu. This was so shameless.
It seems that everything is over, Zou Shuniang will finally go back to face her own life, and she will eventually die alone in this spiritual mountain.
Xiao Hua lay in bed for three days. He kept thinking and asking himself, what is this? And why?
Three days later, Xiao Hua left the cave and went to find Zou Shuniang.
He wanted to keep Zou Shuniang, even if she couldn't make it to the end, at least there would be more than two hundred years of good time.
But when Xiao Hua drove the flying magic weapon to the volcano cave where Zou Shuniang was, he discovered it.
The building was deserted and Zou Shuniang had disappeared.
Xiao Hua was immediately dumbfounded, and immediately began to regret. He regretted not leaving Zou Shuniang behind that day.
Only now did he deeply understand what it means to be separated by life and death, what it means to be unforgettable, and what it means to regret for eternity if you make a mistake.
Somehow, Xiao Hua arrived at the mountainside where he and Zou Shuniang first met to collect spiritual liquid.
Looking at the writings left on the wall, Xiao Hua's tears kept silently pouring out of his eyes like a flood that burst the embankment.
Next to the joke about "Brother sheds tears when looking for his sister", there is an additional sentence "The sister keeps her brother in mind".
Xiao Hua hates himself, hates himself for why he has to remain rational, and how can he treat this emotional matter rationally?
Xiao Hua fell into deep thought again.
But this time, he was no longer trying to understand life, but to feel the true meaning of love.
Perhaps this is another kind of tribulation that cultivators must go through, commonly known as love.
Over and over again, back and forth.
From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Hua found countless reasons why he should continue to love Zou Shuniang, but was overturned by countless reasons why he should no longer love her.
Maybe love is holding hands and growing old together? Or maybe the long-lasting love brings long-term memories, but the short-lived love brings endless love?
But who did you give this best youth to? Who should it be given to?
Xiao Hua deeply realized that there are 80,000 words in the world, but only the word "love" is the most hurtful.
Three days later, Xiao Hua returned to the cave.
These three days were as difficult as three or thirty years for him.
Although he still failed to understand the true meaning of love, Xiao Hua had made up his mind to forget Zou Shuniang.
As Zou Shuniang said, everyone in this world has their own destiny and their own established life.
Although his relationship with Zou Shuniang was sincere and unforgettable, they really met at the wrong time and in the wrong place.
Now that Mother Zou Shu has passed away, and she can't form elixirs to leave the mountain, why should she bother herself with this?
It's better to let all this drift away with the breeze and pass away with the flowing water. Maybe Zou Shuniang will live a better life without herself.
So Xiao Hua returned to his former peace and began his secluded life in Lingshan again.
