Zhuzhu thought of a possibility. The reason why Master Hongyi didn't leave was because he had been looking for her here!
Ten years, no matter how good a friend is, he would not waste ten years without cultivating and searching.
What's more, she and Master Hongyi have only known each other for a few years, and they are not even close friends.
Is he stupid?
Don't talk about the compassion of her family, but Zhuzhu has seen Hongyi kill people in the secret realm, and his swiftness is no worse than hers.
Could it be that Hong Yi treats her...
Zhuzhu couldn't help but frown at the thought of this possibility.
She didn't want to be so narcissistic, but when she saw Hong Yi looking at her with a look of excitement and joy on her face, she consciously told her that it seemed that she had guessed it was very possible.
Hongyi didn't notice anything strange about Zhuzhu. He was immersed in the emotion of losing and finding without realizing it, and his voice trembled with excitement: "You suddenly disappeared in the secret realm. I thought you had an accident, so I’ve been staying here looking for you.”
Listening to Hongyi calling her "me" and "you" one after another, Zhuzhu's heart became even heavier. Hongyi had always called her Huiying's benefactor before, and he had always called himself "little monk". He didn't know when he changed his title.
Moreover, the diamond-shaped cinnabar mole on Hongyi's eyebrows seems to be redder, making him more handsome and handsome, and a bit coquettish, which is far different from the solemn and dignified person he used to be.
Faced with such Hongyi, Zhuzhu not only did not get intoxicated by his appearance, but was a little frightened.
Zhuzhu was wary of Hongyi in her heart, and did not tell him directly why she had disappeared for ten years: "I had some urgent things to do at that time, so I left suddenly. I'm sorry for making the master and Zhenjun Ziyuan worried."
After listening to Zhuzhu's words, Hongyi looked a little sad. He knew that Zhuzhu didn't tell him the truth, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, so he quickly regained his calm expression: "It doesn't matter, just be safe."
"By the way, this is the top-quality spiritual stone that I owed you to Master Hongyi before." Zhuzhu took out a storage bag from the Void Pearl and handed it to Hongyi. It contained more than 700 top-quality spiritual stones that he owed him. "You click on it." Is the quantity correct?”
If Zhuzhu hadn't said anything, Hongyi would have forgotten about that incident, and even secretly, he didn't want Zhuzhu to repay him, so that Zhuzhu would always remember him because of the spiritual stone he owed.
Unexpectedly, she not only remembered it clearly, but also tried her best to return the spirit stone as if she wanted to draw a clear line with him.
Hong Yi paused, then stretched out his knuckled fingers to take the storage bag. He could see that Zhu Zhu wanted him to accept the spirit stones very much, and he didn't want to embarrass Zhu Zhu.
"That's right."
Hongyi took it into his arms without using his spiritual consciousness to check. He looked at Zhuzhu quietly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say to break Zhuzhu's suddenly alienated attitude towards him and let them The relationship can go further.
Even if Zhuzhu doesn't treat him differently, as long as they can still get along with him naturally and friendly as before.
Hongyi also knew that his mental state had not been cultivated enough. Ever since he met Zhuzhu, his mind had become a little confused.
In the past few years, in the process of searching for Zhuzhu who suddenly disappeared, he thought more than once that even if he could not cultivate Buddhism, he would be willing to see Zhuzhu safe and sound again.
When he thought that something might have happened to her but he was powerless, he couldn't help but hate himself for being weak. This made his state of mind completely chaotic, and he almost went crazy several times.
But when we finally met again, after the joy, an indescribable sadness surged into my heart.
Zhuzhu's attitude toward him still seemed gentle and polite, but the faint wariness and alienation in her eyes could not be concealed.
Was she aware of her own ulterior motives?
Also, a monk's time is so precious. Who would spend ten years searching for a friend they just met in one place?
Only a fool can't guess it.
How could she not notice it if she was so beautiful?
I shouldn't have shown such joy and excitement, it would have been better if I had just pretended to be a chance encounter from the beginning.
This will not make Zhuzhu alienate from him.
Hongyi stared at Zhuzhu with sad eyes. He was very afraid that Zhuzhu would disappear again, or leave because of her alienation from him, and never see him again.
And Zhuzhu was also thinking about how to speak, so as not to hurt Hongyi, but also to make him let go of his thoughts about her.
The sobbing mountain wind passed between the two of them, bringing up a few strands of green hair flying behind Zhuzhu to Hong Yi.
The dancing green hair suddenly stirred Hong Yi's heart. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to caress the few strands of green hair, wanting them to dance between his fingers.
Zhuzhu:......
She was just thinking about whether she was overthinking it. Maybe Hongyi was just afraid that she would disappear or die and not get the Golden Lotus Platform, so he kept searching for her for ten years.
Looking at his actions now, there was nothing she didn't understand. Her intuition was not wrong.
Zhuzhu took the first step and stretched out her hand to fix her few strands of black hair behind her back with spiritual power.
The atmosphere between the two became awkward for a while.
"you……"
"you……"
Hongyi and Zhuzhu spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Zhuzhu is not a sloppy person. In her opinion, it is better to nip the blooming peach blossoms in time.
What's more, Hongyi is also a direct disciple of the first-class Buddhist sect in Taibai Continent. His status is higher than hers, and his sect's strength far exceeds that of Tianyun Sect.
If Hongyi betrays Buddhism because of his deep love for her, or if he is prevented from falling into evil Buddhism because of love, those old monks will not do anything to Hongyi, and they will not let Zhuzhu disturb Hongyi's state of mind.
Even if Master and the others come forward, they won't be able to save her.
Don't say that monks are compassionate. If one's direct disciples become confused because of a certain person, their cultivation will be destroyed, or they will defect from the sect.
Even if the fault is not that person's fault, but the fault is simply that his disciple's mental state is not cultivated enough, he will involuntarily have a moment or two of angry thoughts.
Human nature is so complex, and Zhuzhu does not intend to test human nature with her own life.
Purely good people cannot survive in the world of cultivation where the jungle is the dominant force, and the same goes for Buddhist cultivation.
Even if you cultivate to the realm of Buddha, you may not necessarily achieve transcendence.
In order not to cause a series of troubles that may arise in the future, it is necessary to quickly extinguish this newly emerged peach blossom.
"Master Hongyi, I think you should understand some things even if I don't say them. You and I are very different in terms of status, behavior, and personality. We can be friends and confidants, but we are not suitable to go further. , what do you think?"
This is short of simply saying "we are not suitable".
Hongyi felt a dull pain in his heart. In fact, he had never expected to go further with Zhuzhu, but his heart was still filled with bitterness when she rejected her so bluntly.
She could guess everything, but she didn't want to leave him any chance or thought. If she had known this, it would be better for her to know nothing.
Now that the conversation has begun, the two of them are afraid that they will never be able to return to the natural way of getting along with each other again.
"I...I have never asked for anything...as long as you are still willing to recognize me as your friend."
Hongyi suppressed his heart and said with bitterness, he didn't know if he could let go of this nostalgia that he shouldn't have had, but he didn't want to lose Zhuzhu as a friend at the moment.
"It's natural," but friends are both far and near. Before Hong Yi completely let go of his affection for her, Zhu Zhu still planned to part ways with Hong Yi. It would be better to not see each other again. "I still have something to do, and we will meet again if we are destined."
Before Hong Yi could speak again, Zhu Zhu drove the Silver Moon Sword away from him and away from him.
Zhuzhu didn't know where she was going, but after ten years in Ziyun Continent, she had not gone out to explore other places except Hunyuan Sect and Youlan City. She might as well take this opportunity to travel around, just in time to find First, look for any spiritual treasures that cover up your cultivation.
Looking at the back of Zhuzhu going away, Hongyi murmured to himself: "Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-term resentment, not being able to ask for anything, not being able to let go. I never knew what these eight sufferings are before. What a feeling, now I understand what it means to love and be separated, to complain for so long, to not be able to ask for anything, and not to be able to let go."
It was such a wish that I couldn't let go. Hongyi seemed to have some realization and thought, standing alone on Orchid Mountain for a long time...
