Bai Xiaoyu returned to the small house in despair. There were busy people running around all the way, and they hurriedly avoided her when they saw her.
She opened the curtain covered by black satin, and there was a wooden door inside. She stood at the door in a daze for a long time, and finally had the courage to gently push the door open.
The furnishings in the room remained the same, and the cups of tea on the table were cold. Xu Huaigu fell asleep from exhaustion under the edge of the bed. Li Zi lay flat on the bed, with a thin red and white blanket covering her body. Everything was beautiful.
Bai Xiaoyu was suddenly afraid that the beauty that belonged to the two children would be lost one day. She couldn't believe what would happen to this place when the monsters invaded the Central Territory, and she didn't dare to think about it at all.
Bai Xiaoyu looked at this scene with mixed emotions in his heart. She didn't know what to choose at first, but at this moment she suddenly made a decision.
I can't stop the general trend of the world, so just let it go, as long as I take care of the people I love.
Bai Xiaoyu's heart felt sour and tears were about to fall. She quickly raised her head and rubbed her eyes, put back the tears that filled her eyes, sniffed, walked to a desk, and pulled out two pieces of paper from the drawer, as well as a prepared brush.
She rolled up her sleeves and lightly ground the ink for a long time. The ink was so thick that it was about to dry up. Then she held up the sleeve of her right hand with her left hand, dipped it in the thick ink, and solemnly wrote "To Li Zi," on one of the white papers. "Xu Huaigu", and then stopped writing for a long time, thinking about how to start.
With both hands occupied, there was no way to hide the tears. First there was a drop, and then like a flood that broke a bank, a large stream came out, dripping onto the white paper, wetting the beautiful small regular script "Zi".
Tears quickly spread along the fibers on the white paper. Her eyes were blurry and she could not see the writing clearly.
Feeling upset and helpless, she threw the pen on the table, covered her eyes and mouth with her sleeves, and cried bitterly.
The thick ink on the brush splashed on the table, intentionally or unintentionally splashing out a beautiful thick ink painting, dots of ink scattered in all directions, poignant and decisive.
…
Xu Huaigu only felt that this sleep was very comfortable. All the fatigue and anxiety before were swept away, and he felt refreshed when he woke up.
He took a greedy breath of air, and the sweetness entered through his nose, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and he woke up in one breath.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the sky full of leaves. Through the gaps, he could see the blue sky and a few leisurely white clouds.
He realized he was in the wild and quickly looked around. Li Ziping was lying next to him, and at some point he put on a red and white silk robe. The white on the robe dances wildly like a vat splashed into the red ocean, moving through it irregularly. The workmanship is extremely exquisite, and it is even more beautiful when worn on Li Zi.
Li Zi was lying peacefully, with three thousand black hair tied delicately by a red ribbon, forming a beautiful bow. The fair face is peaceful, the nose is erect, the eyebrows are as curved as distant mountains, and the pure charm cannot be concealed even if the eyes are closed quietly.
Xu Huaigu looked a little obsessed. He stretched out his hand to gently touch her cheek, brushing the slightly longer hair at the temples, then to the soft earlobes, and finally the pointed chin, like a most ingenious painting.
Before Li Zi woke up, Xu Huaigu looked at himself again and saw that he had also changed into a set of red and white robes, the same style as Li Zi's.
He didn't know who helped them put on new clothes. He looked around suspiciously. He saw a small open flat land in the forest, with green trees everywhere, colorful flowers and grass, and chirping birds.
He saw his dagger lying beside him, and a long sword that came from nowhere.
The sword was three feet four long, already more than half of his body height. The sword was buried in a scabbard made of vines, and it looked very simple and unpretentious.
Xu Huaigu picked it up in confusion, and his arm suddenly sank. The sword was indeed very heavy. Fortunately, he has been in good health and strong since he was a child, otherwise he would definitely not be able to lift this sword with his nine-year-old strength.
But his attention at this time was not on the strange sword, but on the two folded white rice papers pressed under the sword.
Curiously, he pulled out the white paper and blew away the dust on the rice paper with his mouth. There were still several places on the rice paper that were wet with water and stained with ink. Some words were no longer legible.
The first piece of paper said "Gift to Li Zi, Xu Huaigu". He eagerly opened the paper and slowly read out the delicate regular script on it.
"Xu Huaigu, Li Zi, no matter who is reading this letter now, or both of them are reading it, I am definitely not with you anymore.
Please remember to stay where you are now and never go to Hamanishi, where there will soon be a big war. Just wait where you are for the Taoist priest to come to you, and be sure to take care of your safety.
Because of some very important things, I have no choice but to leave you temporarily, and I must say sorry to you. No need to come to me or worry about me, I'm perfectly safe.
Maybe we will meet again many years later, and I believe that you at that time will definitely not be the same as you are now.
At that time, Xu Huaigu will have the most powerful sword in the world, which can kill all demons and evil spirits. Li Zi can also have the most beautiful jewelry and clothes, and can also eat the best delicacies in the world. She will not eat in a restaurant in Binxi and her mouth will be full of oil.
Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Maybe everything will be gone when we meet again next time. I hope you can still remember the Bai Xiaoyu from before, and don't dislike the Bai Xiaoyu who may have become a stranger.
By the way, I also bought some things for you as parting gifts. Are your clothes beautiful? The couple costume I gave you, don’t ask me where it came from. I hope you can be happy together forever in the future.
I also bought a sword for Xu Huaigu and a beautiful bracelet for Li Zi. They are not valuable items. I don’t have much money. Don’t blame me for being shabby...
Finally, I still want to say something disgusting, I love you. "
The last few words were soaked in water, and Xu Huaigu could barely read them clearly. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
The person who liked to wear white clothes and frighten them in the ruined temple, the person who walked far away from Qishui with them chatting and laughing, the person who protected them behind him in the inn, is gone now, and has become this letter. Thin paper.
All kinds of emotions suddenly rolled down in my heart like a torrential river, including anger, regret, and sadness, leaving my mind completely blank.
There was a sound of sobbing behind him, and it was Li Zi who had woken up at some point.
She lowered her head, buried her face in the material of her wide sleeves, and cried bitterly, her body trembling, and her nose and tears streaming down her face. In the end, I ran out of energy to cry, so I fell directly to the ground, facing the sky and crying amidst the crisp and joyful chirping of birds.
Xu Huaigu looked at her, not knowing how to comfort her and unable to shed tears.
He swallowed, looked up at the sky, blinked his eyes to hold back his tears, and comforted Li Zi: "Okay, Sister Bai also said that we will definitely meet her again in the future. When the time comes, we will …”
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden loud noise, a "bang", like something flying across the sky and piercing the air, followed by a more violent and deafening explosion.
The explosion sounded very far away, but it still sounded like thunder in the sky when it fell to their ears. With the explosion and the frightened trembling of the ground, the birds instantly flew up and fled in all directions.
Xu Huaigu and Li Zi both stopped feeling sad and looked in the direction of the explosion in shock. Without any time to think, he picked up the long sword that Bai Xiaoyu left for him with one hand, put away the two letters, grabbed another dagger, staggered a little because of the sword, and ran towards the place where the sound came from. . Li Zi quickly touched the tears and chased after him.
Before running very far, the vision suddenly opened up, and the vision broke through the cover of the dense woods, and it suddenly became clear.
Xu Huaigu and Li Zi stood on the top of a mountain peak. A few feet away in front of them was a cliff so high that they could not see the bottom.
The direction from which the sound came was a large mountain peak in the distance. Halfway up the mountain, something directly hit it. Dust billowed and mist filled the sky, covering the entire mountainside above in gray.
The earth and rocks on the top of the mountain continued to fall crazily downwards, and the big trees in the sky were as helpless as cutting wheat in the face of this force, and they fell one after another.
The flames began to burn fiercely, swallowing half of the mountain in an instant. Then, golden lines suddenly appeared in the monstrous flames, flying layer by layer, weaving into a large net, and covering the center of the dust.
Xu Huaigu watched the battle with wide eyes, not wanting to miss a single thing.
There seemed to be a golden thread shooting out of the dust quickly and rising into the sky. The golden thread is beautiful, in sharp contrast with the flames underground. At the end of the golden thread, there seems to be a small black spot climbing up to the sky with the golden thread.
Xu Huaigu recognized this golden thread as the method the Taoist priest used that day!
Then the identity of the man in the sky is self-evident.
He flew all the way, almost reaching the sea of clouds before he stopped. Then his whole body was filled with golden light. An unknown number of thin threads appeared out of thin air as he moved his fingers. Then they gathered together and shot toward the center of the explosion below. Time pours down like a golden waterfall.
There were constant sounds of fighting coming from the center of the explosion, and every sound was like the roar of mountains colliding, shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods.
There was more and more dust on the mountainside, and it was obvious that there were still people fighting inside. Dark clouds gathered in the sky for no apparent reason, and the thunder roared, striking directly at the mountainside. The Taoist priests swayed golden threads at high altitudes to support the battle from a distance.
Xu Huaigu was extremely shocked.
If we continue to fight like this, the mountain will be broken in half. What kind of power can it take to reach this point?
As if in response to his guess, a huge fireball carried a large amount of earth and rocks, flew out from the center of the battlefield, and hit another mountain nearby. The earth and rocks crackled and shattered, and the sky was filled with fire.
The battle situation continued to be tense, and all kinds of magical powers were used. A white light suddenly flashed in front of Xu Huaigu's eyes, which was so dazzling that he couldn't see clearly what it was for a moment. He could only feel that it was coming towards them.
"Be careful!" Li Zi yelled, pulling him to run to the left, then they jumped forward together, and they both fell to the ground.
"Boom!" A loud noise...
Xu Huaigu watched in shock as the white sword light was just a foot away in front of him, cutting the mountain like mud, directly and neatly cutting through the mountain without any stagnation, and then rushed further into the sky.
And there was a gap in the ground about a foot away from his feet. The rock was cut straight, as neatly as a knife cutting tofu. This large corner of the mountain had no support and slid downwards diagonally.
