The sky and the earth were long, and there was no voice from the old Taoist priest.
The mountain breeze blew up, and a faint golden light shone in front of Li Xiuyuan... Gradually, it became thicker and thicker, until it was too thick to be dissolved.
Suddenly a phoenix's cry sounded in the sky.
Just when Li Xiuyuan was about to shout, a white figure appeared in front of him.
A confused and puzzled face, with slightly furrowed brows and a hint of sadness on his face, as if it had gone through endless vicissitudes, suddenly appeared in front of him.
Li Xiuyuan immediately took back the "Mumu" that had reached his throat, and said in a daze: "Why is it you?"
The visitor was also shocked. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and murmured to himself: "How could it be you? I remember that I should be in a cave and fell asleep. It was such a long sleep!"
The visitor gently caressed the hair on the temples and tucked the messed green silk behind the ears.
He stared at Li Xiuyuan blankly, and spoke softly at the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to pour out the meaning of these endless wasted years to the young man in front of him one by one.
A pair of fair, slender, gentle fingers came forward.
Not long after, I touched the black cloth on his face, thought about it and gently took it off.
After just one glance, he exclaimed: "How long has it been since we last met? Why are you blind? What will you do in the future?"
A piece of black cloth was tightly held in the girl's hand. At this moment, it was like holding a spiritual sword.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and looked at the shadow in front of him, which was still black and white. The faint moonlight reflected a cold and beautiful face.
At this moment, the girl's face turned pale.
There was a touch of sadness on his lips, as if he was worried about the young man in front of him and how he would go on in the future.
But there was still a faint smile on Li Xiuyuan's lips.
There was silence.
The girl's eyes stared quietly, time was like water, ten years of time, or a lifetime of longing, were deeply imprinted in her life.
But it's like nothing happened yesterday.
However, what caught her eyes was no longer the clear eyes of the young man, but a darkness, and then a pair of empty, lifeless eyes on the familiar face.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "Actually, I saw you in the Peach Blossom Spring, but at that time, you had turned into a cocoon and could not hear my voice."
Li Xiuyuan thought about it again and again, but he never imagined that he would see Dongfang Ruyu who had disappeared in the Peach Blossom Spring again on such a night.
After a long silence, Dongfang Ruyu's body remained motionless.
The corners of his lips moved, and then he sighed softly and said, "I know too, it seems like I heard your voice in my dream, and then I couldn't hear anything else."
In the girl's eyes, there was still the vague sadness of the past. Although Li Xiuyuan couldn't see it, he could feel her emotions.
Suddenly, an unexpected encounter surprises both of them.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the moon in the sky and said quietly: "When you disappeared from Taohuayuan Taoist Temple, I thought it was Master who took you away."
Dongfang Ruyu frowned and recalled, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where I went, let alone how long I slept. When I woke up, I was here."
After a moment of silence, he continued: "Did you save me in the Peach Blossom Spring?"
"Everything in the Shura Heaven Realm is over."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Now that Li Yun has taken over your position, the demon king who was chasing you that day has been killed by me at the foot of the mountain in the Demon Realm. There is no more demon king in that world."
Dongfang Ruyu nodded gently, a pair of bright eyes shining brightly in the darkness, like the star that had just revealed its head.
Looking up at the starry sky, Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself: "When I met you, I was still blind. It wasn't until I left the Shura Heaven and went to the wild world..."
He didn't tell the story about Ximen Xiaoyu and Xiao Die'er, but only told the story about Lao Mo.
Standing quietly beside the young man, Dongfang Ruyu listened to these stories as if listening to heavenly scriptures. She never expected that Li Xiuyuan actually blinded her eyes.
"How long has it been since we last met?" Dongfang Ruyu suddenly asked softly.
Li Xiuyuan had a complicated look on his face, and he replied after a long while: "I don't know, I'm running around everywhere, and the time in each world is different."
Dongfang Ruyu suddenly understood, smiled lightly and said, "Are you okay?"
After being silent for a long time, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Wandering around the world, you won't believe it. This is no longer the world we used to live in. This is my heavenly road."
"It is a road that I must conquer and then set foot on to the heavens, but you don't have to suffer the same pain as me."
After thinking about it, the girl in front of me had suffered a lot.
But after Nirvana, she actually returned to her time as a girl, just like Nangong Ruyu who was above the nine heavens.
Thinking about it, the fate of Shangguan Wushuang and Shangguan Wushuang were completely different. He couldn't even judge who was luckier than the other.
Gently stroking Li Xiuyuan's dull eyes, Dongfang Ruyu said distressedly: "It must have been very painful at that time. What did your master say, how to cure your eyes."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and led her all the way down to the edge of a cedar forest.
They found a bluestone slab and the two sat on it. Li Xiuyuan took two jars of spiritual wine and placed them on the slab.
He smiled and said, "My master doesn't know either. You don't have to worry about me, just let it be... I brewed this vat of wine over the course of thousands of years. I just brewed it in Meishan."
After saying this, he took another jar of apricot flower wine, opened it, and poured two glasses.
He took another plate of spiritual peach meat and placed it in front of Dongfang Ruyu, and said with a smile: "This is the apricot flower wine from Luoxia Mountain. This is the spiritual peach from the place where Shangguan Wushuang is."
Dongfang Ruyu picked up the cup and took a sip of apricot blossom wine, then picked up the spiritual peach in front of her and took a bite.
Suddenly my mouth was filled with fragrance, including the aroma of apricot blossoms, the taste of peaches, and the sweetness of honey. For a moment, I felt intoxicated.
However, before she finished eating two pieces of peach meat, she felt that spiritual energy was surging in her meridians, and she no longer felt hungry.
He was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Perhaps only the young man in front of him will understand that he has been sleeping for countless years and wakes up thirsty and hungry, right?
Only this kind of spiritual wine and this kind of spiritual peach can provide her with infinite power.
He sighed softly and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
"She's okay. I just met her not long ago."
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "She is now the elder of Tianxiang Academy. She is almost the same as when you were in Taoyuan. She can practice freely."
The breeze blew, and the cedars in the forest rustled.
Quietly feeling the different tastes in your mouth, Dongfang Ruyu seems to be recalling the years he has traveled along the way.
After a while, she closed her eyes, sighed slightly, and said, "I wonder if my parents are okay? How is my aunt doing now?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "You have left that world, and I don't know how you are going to go back? Otherwise, you can find your parents as long as you see Wushuang."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Your parents are now living with my husband, my wife, and my parents."
Dongfang Ruyu didn't open her eyes, or even raise her head, she just sighed quietly, and two lines of tears fell quietly.
He said in a daze: "If I had known this, why would I have left you then?"
After struggling for so long, I finally found a way out of death with the help of the young man, even several times, all because of Li Xiuyuan.
She could only survive until now, otherwise, she would never wake up again after fighting the devil last time.
If she could turn back time, she would never leave Fengyun City back then.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuyuan said: "Everything in the world is like a chess game. Even I never thought that one day I would be separated from my parents and husband."
After drinking a glass of spiritual wine, Dongfang Ruyu's face had a touch of red glow.
After thinking about it, he took out a yellowish brocade bag, took out the jade inside, and gently stuffed it into Li Xiuyuan's hand.
There was deep reluctance in his eyes, but he was helpless.
He said in a daze: "You gave this piece of beautiful jade to me back then. Give it to the woman you like in the future."
Li Xiuyuan said nothing. At this time, he could neither give hope to the girl in front of him nor make her despair. He himself was already confused.
Holding the jade pendant of his hand, he gently touched the line of handwriting that seemed a bit jerky.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The stranger is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled. At least at that time, we were all happy."
Dongfang Ruyu smiled sweetly when he heard the words, and in an instant, the surrounding night became gentle.
Just listen to her faintly say: "But, those days are too short, it seems that the dream is over before I wake up."
Li Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment, and under Dongfang Ruyu's quiet gaze, he took out the knife forged under Luoxia Mountain.
Holding the jade pendant, it feels like holding those young and ignorant years in your hands.
Gently, engrave it on the jade pendant...
Dongfang Ruyu poured herself a glass of spiritual wine, ate another piece of peach meat, and just looked at the young man in front of her silently without saying a word.
Li Xiuyuan moved his fingers gently, and unknowingly, under Dongfang Ruyu's gaze, he completed the inscription on the jade pendant.
Gently touching the pattern on the jade pendant, he murmured to himself: "Young people don't know what it's like to fall in love with the upper floors..."
After saying that, he gently wiped the jade pendant with his sleeve and stuffed it into Dongfang Ruyu's hand.
Smiling faintly: "How can there be any reason to take back something that has been given away?"
Dongfang Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, using the ray of moonlight falling from the sky, looking at the pattern just carved on the jade pendant, he was speechless for a moment.
I saw a lifelike lotus carved on the side of a line of small characters. There was a small "swastika" character above the lotus, as well as some irregular lines.
The thin lines are like the spring rain in spring, a little like the autumn wind in September, and a little like the green grass on the grassland, which is exuding vitality.
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said: "Escaped from the mud without being stained, and survived nine tribulations and was reborn, this is the reflection of you, Yu'er."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ruyu was stunned again.
He gently stroked the lotus flower and said in a daze: "Is this my amulet? With this piece of beautiful jade, I can always turn disaster into good luck."
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly in his heart.
This piece of jade was bought with money from his wife, Li Hongxiu, and given to the two girls as a gift, but it was regarded by his mother as a token of love.
At that time, he even learned from the old craftsman and sold it, and asked him to carve two lines of poetry on the jade pendant. Thinking about it, it was really a wonderful time.
However, now he is no longer the young boy he used to be.
In this way, this jade pendant is naturally no longer a jade pendant for love.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "I learned some talismans from my teacher Gui Guzi in the wilderness. This should be regarded as an amulet, right?"
After saying that, the moment he put away the knife in his hand, he took out three more shining iron arrows and placed them in front of Dongfang Ruyu.
Said: "I will give you these three talisman arrows together."
