While hesitating, Yun Kong suddenly heard a few sharp sounds passing through the air, and the air was cut apart. The creature immediately made a strange cry, mumbled a few times in displeasure, and then jumped and knocked open the temple door, dragging it with a roar. The rumble of footsteps left.
The night breeze came through the door, blowing a stream of body fragrance into Yun Kong's nose.
He was very familiar with that scent, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "Red leaves?"
That was the fragrance he had smelled for three years.
There was a girl's voice in the darkness: "I told myself, I can't come to you yet." But the voice was strange as if the wind was leaking. Hearing the voice, Yunkong was even more sure: "Hongye, you are really here. ," He stood up, staggered around in the darkness, and walked towards the direction of the sound: "I didn't feel wrong, you are really here..."
"I came to you because you know how to treat rare and difficult diseases." A ball of white light brighter than sunlight lit up in the girl's palm, illuminating the entire temple.
The sudden strong light caused Yun Kong's eyeballs to hurt violently. After a while, he gradually saw the girl in front of him clearly.
It was still the red dress she loved to wear, and she still had the petite seven-year-old body. However, a piece of Hongye's head was gouged out, and the Tianling Cap and eyeballs on the right half were missing, turning into a bloody puddle.
Yun Kong rushed forward in shock, holding his palm above the gap in her head, not daring to touch it. He pulled the glowing fetish on Hongye's hand close to the gap, and he could still see the blood from the wound bubbling with his heartbeat: "Who hurt you?"
Hongye's spirit suddenly relaxed, and suddenly her legs became weak. Yunkong hurriedly bent over to support her and held her in his arms. Hongye rested her head on Yunkong's shoulder, and blood mixed with tears flowed down.

All night, Yun Kong sat on the ground, holding Hong Ye in his arms, placing his palms on the back of her neck, and constantly pouring Qi into her.
When daybreak was approaching, Hongye's head had partially regenerated, but very slowly. The new eyes still had no vision, but they could already roll in the orbital bones.
"When did you know I was coming?" Yun Kong asked her softly.
"You just set foot on this land, and I already knew it." Hongye's voice was very tired.
"Who hurt you?" As soon as these words came out, Yun Kong couldn't help clenching his fists.
"I was too negligent in looking for your mountain god last night..."
"Mountain God?" Yun Kong recalled the rough voice and the smell of beasts.
Was it the mandrill or dragongon he met a few months ago?
There were voices outside, and several Tibetan people were chatting loudly behind the temple. The Tibetan people hired by Liang Daobin came to start work, and they agreed that they would come today to tidy up the altar with the Mazu statue. They took advantage of the cool weather to start work early in the morning and took a break in the hot afternoon.
Yunkong hugged Hongye's petite body with both hands, feeling that her weight was a little heavier than last night, and then felt a little relieved.
He opened the wooden door with the bark preserved, and before the fan came over, he carried the red leaf to the nearby bushes and placed it on the soft sand. He picked up a few large coconut leaves and covered the red leaf to prevent the fan. People saw her.
After Yunkong and the Tibetan people spent some time explaining the requirements of the altar, they started construction immediately with their dexterous hands and feet.
The Tibetan people used local materials and built their houses with curcuma trees that grew wild everywhere.
The curcuma tree looks like a coconut tree. Its trunk can be used to build houses, rafts, and bridges. Its leaves can be braided into pieces to lay roofs. Its fruits can be made into powder and edible. It can be said to be their all-purpose tree. After they cut down the currant tree, new trees will grow from the roots under the soil, and they can be used to build houses after seven or eight years.
Seeing their skilled work, Yun Kong didn't need to worry at all. He knew that Liang Daobin would bring rice wine over in the afternoon, and the Tibetan people would be very happy.
When Yunkong returned to Hongye, Hongye had already left the bushes and was meditating under the sun. She placed her hands on her knees, palms facing up, letting the sun shine on her palms. At this time, Yun Kong actually saw that her head was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The shape of her head was complete, and hair like lanugo hair was growing.
Yun Kong used a knife to break open the coconut, and brought the coconut to Hong Ye's mouth, letting her sip the nutritious coconut water. Yun Kong looked at her new hair color and couldn't help but ask her: "What happened?"
Hongye put down the coconut: "Brother Baipu and I..." When he mentioned this name, Hongye couldn't help but glance at Yunkong's reaction, "We wanted to go to the Holy Mountain, but the mountain god stopped us." Hongye once told him the names of the four senior brothers and sisters. , not much else to say.
"Bai Pu? Are all your senior brothers and sisters here?"
"Only Bai Pu, the rest are uncertain of life or death."
"Why do you want to go to the Holy Mountain?"
"Yunkong, I want to ask you to save Brother Bai," Hongye said timidly. "Only you, who once served as the King of Hundred Demons, can negotiate with them."
"Where is Bai Pu?"
"Can you help me?"
Yun Kong stared at the red leaves faintly: "If nothing happened to Bai Pu, you wouldn't come to me, would you?"
Hong Ye shook his head vigorously: "No, that's not the case. I will definitely find you. I asked Brother Bai Pu to go to the Holy Mountain just to return to you!"
Yun Kong looked at her in surprise.
"Because I am immortal and you will die eventually. We go to the Holy Mountain just to find a way to die."
Hot tears instantly covered Yun Kong's sight: "Don't say that, you have died for me several times."
Hongye was stunned: "Do you remember?"
Yun Kong nodded.
"How much do you remember?"
"Everything." Yunkong said with tears streaming down his cheeks, "Since you and I were both Jiuli Great Witches, you were kidnapped by the bears, and then...the corpse was tortured, and I had no idea what was happening to you. What happened? We were together life after life, but there was always no happy ending... Until that time in the Tang Dynasty, you suddenly disappeared without a trace. I don't know what happened to you until I die." Yun Kong He paused and said, "Now I know, you were kidnapped by Wu Sheng and then renamed Hongye."
Hongye's damaged eyeballs grew back, but only the intact one shed tears: "I didn't think as much as you thought."
"It's very painful to think about it, so I tried my best to forget it." Yun Kong wiped away the tears, but couldn't wipe them away. "After you disappeared last time, I kept looking for you, and I couldn't find you even after two hundred years." Yeah, I couldn't bear the pain of losing you, so I tried very hard to forget you."
"Because Wu Sheng caught me and imprisoned me in this body, so we can't be reincarnated together..." Hong Ye's cheeks turned red with excitement, and she grabbed Yun Kong's shoulders, "So I must find a way to die. !”
"Where did Wu Sheng go?"
"I didn't know that he disappeared after taking Huang Lian's body and draining Qing Ping's essence. Bai Pu told me to run away. Then I followed you until Bai Pu found me again."
Coptis and Qingping are also immortal, right? Yunkong was confused: "Then you followed him to Nanyang."
"Because he said there is an antidote here," Hongye said, "and because I saved two Kunlun slaves and I want to send them back to their hometown."
"Kunlun slave?" So this kind of thing has happened before? "Is this their hometown?"
Hong Ye nodded vigorously: "Here, Bo Ni, the land of the Holy Mountain, the hometown of Kunlun."
Yunkong suddenly snorted and laughed, and then laughed happily. Hongye looked at him incomprehensively. He stretched out his hand and gently hugged Hongye into his arms: "I thought you were planning to leave me, isn't it great?"
"I left you in order to return to you." Hong Ye stroked Yun Kong's back, "But I wasn't that quick to find you. This was because I had no choice but to use your past identity as the King of Hundred Demons to save Bai Pu. "
"What happened to Bai Pu?"
Hongye hesitated for a moment: "He is getting old."
Isn’t this exactly in line with Hongye’s original intention—to find a way to die?
"But, he is just getting older, but he is still immortal." Hongye said worriedly: "He will grow old forever."

Boni is located in the tropics and has no four seasons, only dry season and rainy season.
The dry season was coming to an end now, and the heat was getting hotter as it got closer to noon. There would be showers in the afternoon, so they had to leave before the sun warmed the ground.
The red leaves led the clouds up to a large tree with dense branches and leaves, and her fairy tree was hidden at the intersection of two thick trunks.
This Xiancha was driven from Wusheng Xiandao. During the three years that Hongye accompanied Yunkong, it actually followed her in the air like a shadow. When she and Bai Pu boarded the merchant ship and came to Boni, Xiancha also followed her. coming.
