Spring flowers and autumn months pass by in an instant, and cold and heat alternate year after year.
The cocoon formed by broken jade is like an ice tomb, where time is frozen. The world outside is turned upside down, but the people inside are sleeping peacefully.
As usual, Mrs. Huang went into the main courtyard to clean in person.
When the master was away, she never let the Taoist servants enter the yard, and even cleaned it without using magic. She just cleaned it up slowly and bit by bit.
After sweeping the nave, she stopped to rest for a while, looking up at the room filled with protective shields. The jade pieces are layered on top of each other, as if covered with thick frost and snow, protecting the people inside.
"Twenty years, Miss Bai, when will you wake up..." Mrs. Huang sighed and continued to pick up the rag to wipe.
While wiping, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned her head suddenly and saw that the jade pieces covering the doors and windows were quietly disappearing.
As if the ice and snow melted, the white color disappeared little by little from above, and the unique spiritual light slowly dissipated.
Mrs. Huang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw the rag away and ran out quickly.
In the Zixiao Palace, Ling Bufei was talking to Baili Xu.
"Send another group of disciples to the Minghe side. Master Song means rotation. The fighting has been fierce recently, and the disciples can't hold on any longer."
"Over at the Deacon Hall, supplies have been prepared..."
"Uncle Yang asked if he should go to the front line instead..."
"Young Sect Master, Mrs. Huang would like to see you." A disciple from outside came to report.
Ling Bufei stopped: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Huang is very measured and will not disturb him if nothing happens.
However, Mrs. Huang today seemed to be very careless. She stumbled in and shouted, "Young Sect Master, Yu... Yu..." without even saluting.
"What did you say?" Ling Bufei was stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Huang took a breath and was finally able to speak smoothly: "The jade in Miss Bai's room has disappeared!"
Ling Bufei stood up suddenly. .z.
"Young Master!" Baili Xu just shouted, and his figure had disappeared.
He smiled helplessly and said to Mrs. Huang, "Sure enough, Miss Bai's matters are the most important to the young master."
Mrs. Huang also laughed: "Isn't this natural? Come on, let's go back too!"
Bailixu responded, told the guards a few words, and then returned to Jinghong to take a photo with Madam Huang.
As soon as they arrived, there was light all around, and Hua Wusheng, Lord Kumu, Yang Xiangtian, Wen Rujin and others landed on the Zhaoyue platform one after another.
Everyone greeted each other and asked Baili Xu, "What's going on? Is Master Bai awake?"
Baili Xu spread his hands: "We haven't seen it yet. We just said that the jade outside has disappeared."
So everyone went to the main courtyard together.
Ling Bufei arrived first, but was blocked by the elders' shield and was getting angry.
Seeing everyone coming, he hurriedly shouted: "Master, uncles, look..."
"Don't worry." Hua Wusheng comforted him and started to remove the shield.
The others followed suit, and soon the shields outside were removed.
Ling Bufei stood at the door, his hands trembling a little, but he didn't dare to push it away.
Twenty years later, he couldn't remember how long he had been looking forward to it. The first days were the hardest. Ever since they met, they had never been apart for a long time. Later, I gradually got used to it. Although I couldn't see her face to face, she was still around, right?
Ten years later, he began to count the days until we would see each other again, but year after year, there was still no movement.
At the twenty-year mark, he had waited too long and learned not to hold out hope.
When he suddenly got this news, he didn't dare to touch it, with the fear of being close to home.
Is she awake? Now that he opens the door, can he see her sitting there? Just like the days and nights before.
Ling Bufei took a deep breath and finally pushed away.
The door creaked open, and the room was exactly the same as before. There is no dust that has been silent for many years, and there is no smell of decay. Even the peach branches by the window are still fresh green, as if time has passed.
Nothing has passed here.
Ling Bufei glanced at Bai Mengjin lying on the bed.
The jade pieces covering her body disappeared, and she fell asleep quietly and peacefully. There is no longer any ups and downs of demonic aura on the body, and the whole person is stable and peaceful.
But she didn't wake up either, her eyes were closed and she was motionless.
"Meng Jin?" He called softly.
Bai Mengjin didn't respond.
Ling Bufei touched her lightly, still the same.
He couldn't help but turn around and ask for help.
"I'll do it." Yang Xiangtian stepped forward and pressed her pulse.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
Yang Xiangtian nodded while feeling his pulse. After finally waiting for him to take it back, Hua Wusheng said anxiously: "What is going on? You should tell me happily!"
"It's nothing." Yang Xiangtian spread his hands, "All the demonic energy has been absorbed, the meridians are smooth, the Dantian is intact, and the cultivation level has improved greatly!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so to speak, her seclusion was successful.
"Then when will she wake up?" Ling Bufei asked anxiously.
"I don't know." Yang Xiangtian answered simply, "There's no problem. It's up to her whether she wakes up or not. Maybe she'll wake up after she's had enough sleep."
"That's fine." Hua Wusheng felt relieved, "As long as nothing goes wrong, she will wake up sooner or later."
Everyone agreed and decided to go home.
I sensed some fluctuations here and thought I could join in the fun. Since I didn’t have to watch, let’s go back!
Ling Bufei was the only one who was anxious: "Hey, uncle, masters, can't you take care of me?"
"How to care?" Wen Rujin joked, "If you want to figure out why she doesn't wake up, you have to enter the sea of consciousness. We don't have her mark, what if we accidentally cause a battle between souls?"
When he said this, everyone started laughing secretly.
"Let's go," Hua silently greeted, "Don't stay here, it's crowded and noisy."
Then he told Ling Bufei: "If you are really anxious, go into her sea of consciousness and have a look... Well, be careful!"
Ling Bufei blushed a little when she said that.
Leaving aura on each other's spirits is something only husband and wife would do. Taking advantage of someone's coma to venture into the sea of consciousness always feels a bit...well...
These people came and left with a huff and a cry, and the scene fell silent.
"Young Master?" Baili Xu said thoughtfully, "How about I go outside to protect the Dharma?"
Ling Bufei looked embarrassed and cursed: "What kind of protection? What kind of protection? If you have nothing to do, go back to Zixiao Palace, there are so many things you haven't done!"
Baili Xu was scolded inexplicably and was speechless: "Okay!"
Mrs. Huang patted his arm sympathetically, went out and whispered: "The young sect master is in a state of ups and downs right now, and he will definitely not feel at ease. You go do your thing as usual and leave him alone for a while."
Baili Xu agreed and replied: "Young master has been waiting for many years, and finally it's here, but in the end, he was not given a happy life... Hey, I feel bad too."
Mrs. Huang was pleased: "As long as you understand. We can't help him, so let him worry less!"
So Bailixu returned to Zixiao Palace, and Mrs. Huang continued to take care of the housework, leaving Ling Bufei alone, quietly accompanying the sleeping Bai Mengjin.
