Dragonflies chasing and entangled with each other flew across the lake and stopped and stopped among the lotus leaves. Their wings are crystal clear in the sun, which is adorable. The smaller ones are damselflies, and their wings are more colorful and beautiful than dragonflies. There are very few butterflies among the lotus leaves. There are more fragrant flowers nearby that are worthy of stopping. The pond is not a place that belongs to them. Here, their gorgeous and bulky bodies are not as agile as other insects, making them easy targets for natural enemies.
To quietly enjoy a scenery like this is considered a luxury for Shuoyue-kun.
It stands to reason that in the past five hundred years, she should have seen countless beautiful mountains and rivers, and she should have been taught about the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. She originally thought so too. However, it seems that once people think that "these things can always be seen", it becomes difficult to pay attention to them mentally. "Busy" is such an appropriate reason, and it seems that all the things around you that are not cherished can be attributed to this. But is that really the case? Mr. Shuangyue knew in his heart that this was just a convenient excuse.
She couldn't stop. Can't close my eyes, can't rest, can't even breathe. She often pushed herself too hard, even though she knew very well that she couldn't stop. It's as if once she stops, this physical relaxation will invade her mind, and even her soul will become lazy and have an indifferent attitude towards everything. Maybe this is what the proverb says. She was worried about her current self - she didn't know when she would become like this. Recently, there has been a rumor circulating secretly that dolls can act like humans. Although it is only on a small scale at present, it is so small that even Shuangyue Lord has not seen it with his own eyes. But even just listening to those descriptions, she could feel that she was moving in that direction. She became numb and stiff, and her perception of emotion and beauty was extremely dull. If a doll-like crack appeared on her body, it would be as irreversible as a broken jar. This was the last thing she wanted to accept.
However, it's not that regrettable yet. As early summer was approaching, she looked at this lotus pond and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion. Everything is synonymous with beauty. Those flowers that cling to the lotus leaves, those leaves that stir up ripples; those insects that rise and fall tirelessly, those fish that swim nimbly and alternately between movement and stillness... They are all beautiful, beautiful, glamorous, and unbelievably beautiful. . She still has the ability to interpret all this, which is already valuable. She thought that hundreds of years would smooth out the barren aesthetic she had accumulated over more than twenty years. Gathering sand into a tower, pushing away a tower into sand, many things are constantly being destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed, and rebuilt again. Maybe they were no longer what they were before, and as time went by, the guilt of accomplishing nothing was gradually increasing, but...but, she felt that some things were more important than these.
She remembered what Ji Yuejun said: learn to be lazy. At which meeting did you say this? Maybe it was very early, and it was not long before she became impermanent. Many seniors taught her how they balanced endless lives with endless work in their own way. Getting along with one's colleagues is also a necessary task of the Six Paths. Shuoyuejun thinks that interacting with colleagues of the same sex is a simple and easy thing. All the female compatriots were so kind, except for Yingyue Jun, she had almost never seen them. The current Kisaragi-kun is the face she is most familiar with, but she is not the person she knew in the past. To be honest, after all these years, she has almost completely associated the word Kisaragi-kun with this appearance. The Ah Qi of the past was a dead object projected by the Master of Hundred Bones, and the Ruyue Lord of the past became an indescribable portrait. Everyone may think that Kisaragi-kun looks like a tomboy now, but in fact it is just her formation and birth that blurred human gender. She is herself, just stuck in a female container. There is nothing wrong with this. Shuoyue-kun has always felt that the cliché that men should be masculine and women should be feminine should have been abandoned from its roots long ago. However, Uoyue-kun has always fit most people's image of an intellectual and gentle woman. It's okay, this is her personal choice, and Lord Shuangyue likes this sister very much. She also thought that if she had a sister besides her brother, it would be Utsuki-kun. As for Satsuki-kun, she is elegant and self-contained, mysterious from beginning to end. Not to mention the cunning and cunning parts, she can handle many things clearly and explain clearly. At least as a colleague, she is absolutely fair. She and the Death Shadow Pavilion she formed have their own set of principles, which are more or less in line with public morality. Mizuki-kun knew each other during their lifetimes. Although she could be considered his junior, Shigetsuki-kun felt that he had nothing worth teaching her, and even felt a little ashamed occasionally. In some aspects, she knows more than me, learns faster, and sees things more broadly. She has changed, she has changed a long time ago. This job has allowed her to live the way she should have lived in her lifetime, which is a good thing. Lord Shuangyue will feel happy when she thinks about it.
Men... are very different.
Mutsuki-kun lived long enough that even before he was alive, saving people became the meaning of his existence, and now it is his only destiny. It is both work and life itself. Although she didn't have much contact with Mu Yuejun, every time she chatted with him for a few words, it felt like a breath of fresh air, and she benefited a lot from those few words. It is extremely comfortable to deal with such a person, and the long years have long turned him into the world of mortals itself. You know that he is older than you, has more experience than you, and is far more capable than you, so you can't even have a little inferiority complex - as if he was born like this, born to be compatible with your level, making insinuations in a way that you can understand. , moisturizing things silently. Maybe he doesn't say anything, and you just stand next to him, as if you are outside the world, blending in with the grass and trees, and being with the three thousand worlds.
Let’s go back to Mr. Jiyue. That man actually lived a detached life, a life that was free and unrestrained, and a life that was untainted even though the world was rushing by. In comparison, although Mr. Shuangyue had more contact with him, perhaps it was because he had been friends with him during his lifetime. Most of the time, he is a person who is closer to Jianghu, and he is very approachable and casual to everyone, and is a little less polite than many people. He was extremely polite when he thought he should be polite, and extremely casual when he thought he didn't need to be. But sometimes, he seemed even further away than Mutsuki-kun. Perhaps, because Lord Shuangyue considers the latter to be his elder and senior, and Lord Jiyue, although he is also a senior, is at the same time his peer... This is a bit complicated to say. How can someone who feels further away feel closer to themselves at the same time? Maybe it's a different perspective. Moreover, it is a fact that Mutsuki-kun is much older than him. But to put it this way, Lord Jiyue is clearly much older than him. She couldn't think clearly about this, but she didn't think it was necessary to understand it clearly. When the time span reaches a certain level, many ethical and seniority issues become obstacles.
To say that the person closest to the word "jianghu" is definitely Kannawujun. To be honest, she was a little afraid of him, even after all these years. No matter how you put it, he is someone who is truly the enemy of "God", even though he is a false god. Because of some chance, she learned that Kanna-kun's best friend during his lifetime was the one who domesticated the ancestor of the Tengu. It's natural to be surprised, but even when she was alive, Kanna-kun only regarded them as juniors as independent individuals. Whether he can tell the difference clearly, or whether he feels that these bloodlines have nothing to do with his old friend anyway... Lord Shuoyue doesn't know. She has never understood this man, and will never have any contact with him when it is not necessary. However, if it was a matter of martial arts competition, as long as Kanna-kun was willing to reward her, she would still be happy to seize this opportunity to improve.
Lotus flowers are already blooming. They are scattered here and there, but they have not yet joined together. Although many of them are already standing upright, they are a little shy and still waiting to bloom, like a graceful girl covering her face with her hands; some poke their heads out of the water, revealing their sharp tips just enough for a dragonfly to stand, like a beginner who is learning to swim with a hand. A timid girl testing the temperature of the water with her toes.
In the entire pond, only one flower is in full bloom, like a burning fire on the water.
This was enough to wipe out Mr. Shuangyue's good mood and make him feel unhappy out of thin air. She slowly touched the Demon-Sealing Blade on her waist - of course she had reason to do so.
"Oh, this person is so boring and doesn't know how to appreciate it. The flowers on the roadside are blooming by themselves, but they are closer to the path. Are you the type who insists on picking them up with your hands? Are you like this? A selfish and vulgar woman?”
The voice came from behind. In just a blink of an eye, she pulled something out of its sheath, and the tip of the thing was pointed at the throat of the speaker. However, that was not the Demon-Sealing Blade, otherwise the opponent would have been killed long ago. What was held in Shuoyuejun's hand was the long umbrella that had been with her for many years taken out by her other hand.
The woman in red clothes and white hair smiled frivolously, and the tear marks on the corners of her eyes were annoying. She stretched out two fingers and pushed the umbrella tip aside.
"What are you so worried about about me? You're so angry."
"That's too much." Mr. Shuangyue put down the umbrella, but didn't put it in the tube yet. "You don't deserve what she looks like."
"She is just a symbol. The memories that still remain in your hearts to this day are just symbolic things."
"Shut up."
Mr. Shuangyue has long since passed the age where he can fight with him at every turn, but that actually serves his purpose of provoking trouble. She turned around and continued to look at the blue lake. The eye-catching red flower that suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared without knowing when. I don’t know why, but looking at the scenery that was the same as before, Shuangyue-kun was not interested at all.
"Forget it, I still have things to do and don't want to waste time with you."
After saying that, Lord Shuangyue turned around and left. She was right, Lan Bo has not yet been brought to Mutsuki-kun. It is rare to allow herself to stay for a moment for the scenery. It is already a very luxurious vacation. She can no longer let herself go - there is no time to waste. And I don’t know if the appearance of Lord Kutsutsuki was deliberately adding a touch of brightness to his memories. Regardless, the effect is significant.
"Ah, you're going over there, right?" Lord Kutsutsuki hugged her shoulders and chattered behind her, "I'm not here to cause trouble for you... or anything. I'm here to do a good deed. Let me tell you, Excluding your destination and the road you came from, in the other direction of the lake, I saw an old acquaintance of you and me. It's really strange. Why is he wandering around the world if he doesn't keep his magic weapon? ? Isn’t he already at home in the world of illusions, and has threatened to only associate with monsters? How strange. Maybe the world is not peaceful enough recently, right? "
The patience that Shuoyue-kun has cultivated over the years is about to run out again. She turned her head sharply, ready to glare at him, but he disappeared. And what he said was indeed enough to make me care. Lord Kutsutsuki's departure was as if he was giving her face and deliberately leaving the scene to let her make a choice. In fact, he was secretly watching from somewhere, waiting for him to fall into the prank trap.
...However, it seems that he has not deceived himself for hundreds of years.
