The sword light shuttled through the turbulent clouds, and above was the real sky - although it was late at night, there was clear light.
In contrast, Chen Mo prefers flying at sunset. The light that is not too dazzling, the haziness of not being able to hold on tightly, and the faint fragrance of the people around him all disappear with the passing sun.
Falling into memories, the clouds of embers spread endlessly like a sea, as if they were countless smoke and dust shaken out when cleaning the alchemy furnace.
"Do you think this looks like we are refining alchemy..."
Halfway through the words, Chen Mo realized that the person behind him had changed. She was no longer her.
However, the purple sword light suddenly accelerated, and Lin Yuqin rushed over: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"....I told you, aren't you a little regretful that you didn't find Linglong Well?"
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and then changed his words.
"It's okay. It makes sense that the icing on the cake can't be found." Lin Yuqin replied with a smile.
“The icing on the cake…”
After hearing this, Chen Mo felt an inexplicable shock in his heart. Just like his name, he fell silent.
"If we follow the previous method, we will have to walk nearly two months, but Zhong Qing and I talked about it that day. She said that Yan Yuezong is in charge of a transnational teleportation array. If she guarantees it, the two of us can go there. It saves half the time.”
"Oh, is it so?"
Chen Mo responded absently.
"Yeah. After all, I haven't been back to Zichen County for more than ten years, and I don't know how my parents' health is lately..."
"Fortunately, I am a monk in the foundation building stage. If the family needs help with anything, I can also contribute my own strength. Of course, it is within the scope of my ability. Don't you think so? Brother Chen ?”
"We also have many delicious dishes there, which are similar to the dim sum you brought. If you can tolerate spicy food, our purple pepper pork slices unique to Zichen County are good!"
Seeing Chen Mo frowning and keeping silent, Lin Yuqin thought he was feeling normal, so she added to herself:
"Huh? Don't underestimate this dish. There is a ground near Zichen County. Small purple pepper is an ingredient that contains a small amount of spiritual energy..."
"By the way! Brother Chen, there is another good place..."
...
Listening to Lin Yuqin's endless narration, Chen Mo became more and more irritable.
He knew that her character was like this, but at this moment, Chen Mo really wanted to shut her up.
Only in this way can the guilt in his heart be reduced, even though it is an illusion of self-deception.
"Also...Brother Chen, we can still..."
"enough!!"
A rude scolding suddenly came, and the buzzing in Chen Mo's ears suddenly fell into deathly silence.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Mo felt regretful, and he subconsciously wanted to say something to make amends.
But when their eyes met, those frightened and aggrieved eyes made it impossible for him to open his mouth to apologize.
Chen Mo looked away in panic and said hesitantly:
"Sorry, I....."
"It's okay...I...I also have bad days. If I get angry, it would be scarier than you!"
Lin Yuqin hurriedly tried to smooth things over for Chen Mo. She was still trying to put on a smile, but at the same time she raised the corners of her mouth, tears poured into her eyes.
"Brother Chen, I...I'm a little tired. You should go first. I'm going to rest for a while."
Without giving Chen Mo a chance to interrupt or see her cry, Lin Yuqin turned around and galloped under the clouds so fast that Chen Mo didn't expect it.
"Yuqin, come back!!" Chen Mo shouted anxiously.
After she heard the call, she accelerated even more, and the spiritual fluid was already using all its strength to activate the flying sword.
Chen Mo hated his attitude just now. The incident started because of him, and he would definitely not ignore it. The silver light stagnated under his feet, and then a suffocating air flow burst out, breaking through four or five afterimages in succession. He tightly chased after him.
One gray and one purple, alternating within the scope of the night. Chen Mo was superior, but the moment he was about to catch up with her, Lin Yuqin fell directly to the ground. Her spiritual power was exhausted. She switched to using two legs to keep walking in the woods. Running without stopping.
"Stop, stop running!"
Seeing this, Chen Mo also landed. In terms of cultivation and physical strength, she was inferior to him. Within a dozen breaths, Chen Mo had touched the corner of her clothes.
Chen Mo tried to pull, but Lin Yuqin pulled forward desperately, not letting him succeed.
Seeing a small thorn bush in front of him, with trees of various heights growing lushly, Chen Mo was afraid that she would be cut without paying attention, so he suddenly raised his heart and hugged Lin Yuqin's shoulders without any explanation. , and then put his arms around her chest, in a hugging posture from behind.
Time seemed to have stopped, and the two figures seemed to have become a frozen scene at this moment.
Lin Yuqin never thought that Chen Mo would be like this. She cried even harder, then turned around, locked Chen Mo's waist tightly, and buried her cheek on his chest.
She tried her best to suppress her crying, but the tears kept falling like rain curtains, and her shoulders even trembled.
Chen Mo's thoughts went blank, and he held her stupidly, like a dull puppet, letting Lin Yuqin rub back and forth in his arms without any resistance.
After a long time, the sound of sobbing gradually weakened. Lin Yuqin said feebly like a fish swimming to the shore:
"I'm sorry, I just want to make you happy..."
A feeling of heart-wrenching pain that made Chen Mo almost unable to help shouting: "Why me?!"
He couldn't wait to kneel down and repent solemnly to Lin Yuqin. Don't delay any longer! Walk! Walk! Walk! !
Go to Ye Lantian, go to those handsome men who are more handsome than me, go to find the cultivators with strong cultivation! What did I do right to deserve such humility from you? !
Chen Mo felt a burst of exhaustion from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know what to say, but he could never have an obedient slave like this.
"......have a rest."
There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but in the end I just turned into a sigh. He gently pushed Lin Yuqin away, turned around and walked away without looking back.
He didn't dare to look any further, her eyes were so red and swollen that they looked like two overripe peaches.
He didn't dare to listen any longer. The uncontrollable whimpering sound that sounded again was like a bird evaporating in the sea of sand. The shrill cry before death was like a dull sawstring, consuming little by little. Chen Mo's trembling nerves.
Chen Mo covered his ears and ran for more than half a mile. Lin Yuqin did not chase him. This was good news. He finally no longer had to suffer psychological torture.
Both of them have exhausted their spiritual power so far. This is an inaccessible wild forest, and it is inevitable that there will be wild beasts that live here.
Chen Mo rested for a while. He was still worried about Lin Yuqin's safety, so he summoned Feijian Yukong and looked down at the scene on her side, only to see that the firewood for heating had already been lit.
Lin Yuqin sat next to him, with his arms folded around his legs, staring blankly at the fire, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Mo felt a little more at ease. He fell down, and the vitality contained in his body spread. His consciousness combined with the nearby flowers, plants and trees, and his field of vision expanded several times in an instant.
He was also about to close his eyes and recover, but Lin Yuqin's face always appeared in his mind, and after a while, it turned into Chu Wushuang's appearance.
This made Chen Mo unable to concentrate at all, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Is there really not a way to accept her without letting her get hurt?"
Chen Mo asked himself in his heart.
The answer is naturally no. If you let yourself abandon your existing thoughts and concepts, and become a cultivator who falls in love with a woman when you see him, sleeps with you when you have a crush on her, and forgets each other in the world, then you might as well marry a wife and have children early. Why bother? What about being obsessed with cultivating immortality?
And the true path to immortality cannot be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums.
Secondly, it is impossible for Chen Mo to accept her or someone else like him. He can't do it himself. Why should he ask them to listen to you?
"I don't want to, I don't want to..."
When things were beyond his control, Chen Mo had no choice but to let things go and do whatever he wanted.
Now that I think about it, what Senior Lin said is right. A group of old guys who have lived for many years don't dare to say anything about emotional matters. What kind of truth can he understand?
...
He said it was to warn Lin Yuqin, but Chen Mo was half asleep and feeling tired. Maybe because there were too many bad things, he fell into a deep sleep this time.
When he opened his eyes again, it was Lin Yuqin who gently pushed him awake.
"Brother Chen, wake up?"
Hearing the call in his ear, Chen Mo opened his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky. The morning light had not yet arrived, and it should be around Yin hour.
As if nothing had happened, Lin Yuqin still called him Brother Chen enthusiastically, which made Chen Mo couldn't help but feel guilty: "What's the matter?"
Lin Yuqin couldn't hide her excitement and said hurriedly: "Over there, there is an exquisite well over there!"
Chen Mo said: "Oh? Then go over and have a look."
He knew why Lin Yuqin wanted to wake him up. Without his consent, even if she discovered Linglong Well, she would not dare to make the decision without permission.
The reason was simply that he was afraid of scolding her.
The two quickly arrived near the well that Lin Yuqin was talking about, not far from where she raised the bonfire. The fire was now extinguished, leaving only a pile of white charcoal and a lot of gray charcoal. sawdust.
"It wasn't there before, but it suddenly appeared, and I hurried to find you."
Chen Mo nodded: "Let me try it first."
"Ah? Brother Chen, you..."
Lin Yuqin looked quite surprised. Didn't he never believe in this kind of thing? how......
"If I come first, if not, you can try another Linglong Well so that we can have two chances."
Chen Mo walked ahead of Lin Yuqin out of a sense of debt.
As for whether the well was real or fake, Chen Mo never considered it. He just wanted to return her love a little bit.
"That's okay. Do you remember what you said to the well?"
Lin Yuqin struggled for a while and asked Chen Mo worriedly.
"Don't worry."
Chen Mo responded and put his hands on the edge of the well. It was no different from other exquisite wells. Chen Mo silently said that sentence in his heart.
Although he never expected this illusory thing to give him a straightforward answer, if he had any hope, he felt it should be Chu Wushuang.
"Brother Chen, is there any result?"
Lin Yuqin was urging anxiously from a few feet away, as if she was the one who wasted her life.
Just when Chen Mo was about to say the words "Don't worry", he suddenly heard the sound of "gurgling" underground. Small bubbles began to appear on the water surface, and the trembling caused the well wall to shake slightly.
"This is......"
Chen Mo's eyes suddenly widened, and he felt as if something pinched his heart, causing his breathing to become rapid.
"How's it going, Brother Chen?"
Chen Mo's face twitched slightly, he made a silent gesture, and then he carefully observed the water surface.
The bottom of the well seemed like a boiling cauldron, and many colorful bubbles emerged. Amidst the popping sound, various colors condensed together. Some disappeared, some merged, and some spliced together. Under Chen Mo's gaze, they gradually revealed a woman's true appearance.
The first time Chen Mo saw her, a strong feeling of dizziness flooded into his mind in an instant. The emotions of fear and disbelief almost scared him out of his wits!
The hands holding the edge of the well trembled gently. Chen Mo felt that this was like a dream, but the face on the water really reminded him that everything was real!
"...Brother Chen?"
Chen Mo had forgotten the answer. He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground with a bang, an incredible look on his face.
"How is it possible...how is it possible? How is it possible?!"
Chen Mo seemed to be in a daze. He kept repeating it, as if the identity of the man in the well gave him a hint of absurd thoughts.
"What's impossible?"
An extremely familiar voice suddenly came out of Lin Yuqin's mouth. Chen Mo's hair suddenly stood up, like a bolt from the blue. He looked at her as if he had seen a ghost:
".....you?!"
Lin Yuqin's face blurred for a while, and gradually turned into the face he saw underground!
Chen Mo couldn't hold back his panic anymore and yelled loudly and tremblingly: "Where is she!! What did you do to her?!"
'Lin Yuqin' smiled sarcastically, and with a flick of her wrist, she held the frost-covered sword blade in her hand.
"She is dead, she was killed by you."
'Lin Yuqin' held the Frost Moon Sword, the tip of the sword scraping the dead grass and pebbles on the ground, and walked towards Chen Mo step by step.
This was the gesture of coming to kill him. Chen Mo just wanted to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, but found that at some point, all his acupuncture points had been imprisoned.
"Don't worry, husband, I will send you to see her."
'Lin Yuqin' said in a calm tone, but her steps were not slow. The footsteps stopped in front of Chen Mo. This time, he really felt deeply desperate.
Chen Mo moved back and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Get out of here!! Get away!!"
'Lin Yuqin' did not answer him, but slowly raised the Frost Moon Sword. When Chen Mo screamed 'ah', the darkness in front of him faded away like snow.
...
"--ah!"
Chen Mo woke up from his dream in an instant. His forehead and back were covered in cold sweat from being frightened. The feeling of being beheaded seemed to be with his last breath, and he couldn't help but cry out.
Lin Yuqin seemed to be not far away. When she heard Chen Mo's cry, she ran out quickly, but she just glanced at him and said nothing.
Chen Mo raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was similar to the time in his dream, around Yin time.
"So true..."
Chen Mo felt a lot of peace of mind after touching his neck and confirming that there were no traces of being chopped.
"But...how could it be her?"
A strange thought arose in Chen Mo's heart. Was it that she had been so scared these past few days that she even appeared in her dreams?
"If it's really her..."
"Absolutely impossible!!"
As soon as this idea emerged, Chen Mo extinguished it on his own, leaving no room for imagination.
Chen Mo was stunned for too long. Lin Yuqin's expression was still tangled as he kept observing. Finally, he punched his fist bitterly and walked over.
Lin Yuqin asked in a stiff tone: "What's wrong?"
"without......"
Chen Mo wanted to say it was nothing, but when he thought of what he had done before, he felt ashamed, so he answered truthfully:
"Had a nightmare."
Lin Yuqin groaned, seemed to think for a while, and then said: "I heard you screaming, so I came over to take a look."
"Thank you for caring."
Lin Yuqin didn't answer, so Chen Mo didn't ask for trouble and continued.
"It's good to be angry, but it's difficult to leave without saying a word."
Chen Mo was thinking like this. He was going to find a suitable opportunity to apologize again, but it would definitely not be this time.
Lin Yuqin asked again: "Are you leaving now?"
"Let's go, I'm almost done resting."
Lin Yuqin nodded, but suddenly said: "By the way, an exquisite well appeared at my place just now. Do you want to go take a look?"
After hearing this, Chen Mo seemed to be struck by five thunders and froze on the spot for an instant.
