Liu Huan looked around and closed his eyes, his face pale: "Senior Sister..."
Why, why bother, these words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them one by one.
Jiyue felt a little regretful: "The wine has been frozen, this is your favorite fruit wine." She changed the topic, "Manman, let's go see the sea, shall we?"
Liu Huan looked back to the time when they first met.
She followed her grandfather through the long corridor and came to the saint.
The sage is hidden behind a heavy veil, unable to see his face clearly, and the sandalwood is burning, and the surroundings are extremely quiet.
"Shen Zhishui's daughter?" The saint's voice was dignified.
She hid behind her grandfather and looked up timidly, with wet tears on her face.
The veil was gently lifted, and a girl in red walked out quickly, and said with a smile, "Is it Manman?" She stretched out her hand, "Come, I'll take you to see the sea."
…
The sea remains the same.
Xiao Sha's snowflakes were like velvet, falling into the sea water, gradually melting, and becoming one with the surface of the deep blue sea.
Jiyue and Liu looked around and sat on the reef, their robes bulged by the sea breeze.
"When you were young, you always liked to come here to watch the sea. Once I didn't see you in the middle of the night. After searching for a long time, I found you here."
Liu Huan looked around and smiled, "I grew up in Heyang, and I have never seen the sea, so I find it rare." She paused, and then said: "But that night, I was homesick."
Jiyue nodded, "I know, I took you to eat Heyang's fried chestnuts the next day, and you were happy for a long time."
Liu Huangu lowered his head slightly, put his hands together, and cast a spell to conjure up a handful of hot roasted chestnuts, "Sister, try it? It's very sweet."
Jiyue peeled off the golden kernels, and fed them to her like she did when she was a child, "You are always like this, you like to keep things in your heart, and don't tell others. I can only guess one or two occasionally."
Just like now, she conjured up a handful of fried chestnuts, not for Jiyue to taste them, but for Jiyue to peel them and feed them to herself.
Chestnuts are fragrant and sweet, just smelling it makes people smile.
Liu Huangu chewed carefully, fearing that the taste would pass away too soon, with an expression of cherishing it.
Jiyue buried her head in peeling the chestnuts, a line of tears fell and fell on the peeled nuts.
She wanted to throw away the tear-soaked chestnut kernel, but her wrist was grabbed, Liu Huan looked down, and gently bit the nut.
After a long time, Liu Huangu raised his head and said in a low voice, "It's bitter."
Jiyue couldn't help crying like rain, and said in a trembling voice: "Junior Sister, let's go to a place where no one knows us, and don't care about these anymore, okay? Senior Sister will pay you with her life."
Liu Huangu wiped away her tears with gentle movements, "What are you talking about? You don't owe me anything."
"You're always like this too," Liu Huangui sighed, "You always think of perfection, and you blame yourself for everything. People have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, and there is no happiness in the world. If senior sister can treat others like this Just be gentle and tolerant, just give yourself a little bit."
Jiyue held her hand, "I'll take you away to a place where no one is around. Get through these three winters and four summers, and see the peach blossoms when the snow is gone."
Liu Huangu slowly withdrew his hand, turned and left in silence, his purple clothes were ethereal, like a butterfly flying away.
Jiyue wanted to stand up, but the demon king's coercion pressed down like a mountain, making her unable to move.
The sea breeze roared, and the moving voice that used to be like a dazzling array of rings was pulled and deformed by the wind, hoarse and sad, crying blood.
And the person who turned and left didn't even want to look back.
…
Pushing open the heavy gate of the magic palace, the gentle breeze with the fragrance of flowers blows on the face, as if it has come to spring.
Dong Ting was still in the posture when he left, holding a glass of wine, half leaning on the couch. The hair tie was untied, and the black hair was like a waterfall, half spread on the bed.
Hearing the voice, she opened her eyes, with a half-smile, "So fast?"
Liu Huan leaned against the window as if she was exhausted, still staring at the direction of the sea.
The night was getting darker, the sky was dark, the sea was moaning, and the wind was moaning. During the Chinese New Year, the disciples of Shengrenzhuang would hang up red lanterns early, and the red cloth strips on the peach blossom branches would wave in the wind. At night, brilliant fireworks would bloom in the night sky.
She didn't like this place, but she missed her senior sister's smiling eyes illuminated by fireworks.
Dong Ting asked: "Now, are we counting as New Year's Eve?" She jumped down, stepped on the carpet barefoot, and lit a candle in every corner of the room, "It should be like this for New Year's Eve."
This day means that the year is coming to an end, and mortals cherish the time, and every day, they stay awake by candlelight, waiting for the dawn.
But the last thing the two of them need to cherish is time.
Dong Ting sat cross-legged under the lamp, propped his head, and asked the question that he had been wondering for a long time: "What did you say that made Hua Zhi take the initiative to send you the power?"
Liu Huan looked at her eyebrows, "I didn't say anything, she was just tired."
Dongting toasted, "Come to have a drink? Fruit wine, your favorite." After a long while without a response, she laughed again: "Just as a memory of Huazhi."
Liu Huan glanced at her coldly, and Xi sat opposite.
Dongting filled the wine for her, "Actually, the three of us are the same person."
Liu looked around: "Who is the same as you?"
Dongting smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you are more ethical than me. Hua Zhi was originally a very competent demon king, but unfortunately she thinks too much. The more a person knows, the more he will understand his insignificance and insignificance. Ignorance, that's a sad thing."
Liu Huan frowned, "What do you want to say?"
Dongting toasted, "Don't you want a drink? Your senior sister brought it with her own hands." Before the girl could ask, she blinked and said with a smile, "I replaced the altar in her hand with water. You can learn it by looking through what Hua Zhi left behind."
The lights were flickering, and the big demon's eyes were deep blue, with a bit of cunning.
Even if Liu Huangu went out to meet each other early at that time, and the wine in Jiyue's hand was not frozen into ice, they couldn't share the wine.
Liu Huan looked around and gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to tear the monster apart, and took a sip of the transparent wine—clear and elegant, just like the one in his memory. Seven City Brewery has long been closed down, and I don't know where the senior sister got the good wine that tastes as good as before.
Dong Ting turned his head and looked at her quietly, "I saw you for the first time in Donghai. You stood in the middle of the crowd, bearing great glory. You were smiling, but I only took one look at you, and it was in your eyes. I found the same pain and loneliness as me."
Liu looked around: "..."
Dong Ting propped his head up, "We are all the same people, we are not allowed in the world, and we are out of tune with this world, but it is not our fault, but this world is too dirty, your senior sister and the others naturally have the patience and perseverance to let the world Get better slowly."
She moved closer and stared at the girl's twinkling eyes, "Unfortunately, you don't have it, and neither of us have it."
Liu Huan looked at the wine glass, his eyes were burning, but he remained silent.
Dongting laughed and sat back again, "People in the world sing, cheating too much is a play, Man Man Man Man, you have cheated the world, what kind of person do you want to be?"
Liu Huangu asked back: "What about you? What exactly do you want to do, destroy the world?"
Dongting tapped the desktop, "Many years ago, I swam from the east to the west of Yunmengze, the bright moon danced with me, and the Kunpeng of Beiming flew past, covering the whole sky. At that time, the mountains were bright and the water was quiet, everything was peaceful It is clean. Whether gods, demons, demons, or beasts, they are all simple and pure creatures."
"But ever since there were immortals and humans," she continued after staring at the lights for a long time, "everything has changed. They claim to be superior to all things, they kill and kill the world, conspiracy, greed, desire, war... so arrogant, the world Next, on the back soil, you and I are like mayflies, who is worthy to be the master of heaven and earth?"
Liu Huan looked around and said: "Even if you kill everyone to be buried with you, your Yunmengze will not come back. This world belongs to the human race, so this is the general trend."
Dongting smiled mischievously: "Things are different, people are different, the sun and the moon have changed several times in the sky, I naturally know that I can't go back to the past, and I also know that you have no intention of being an enemy of the fairy sect, and the defeat of the demon clan is doomed, but no matter what, you must try your best." Try it, try it, you won’t regret it.”
As he said that, Dongting filled up the wine again, raised his glass and said, "Let's have a peaceful drink tonight, how about it?"
Liu Huan looked up and raised his wine glass, the cold wine entered his throat, for some reason, he tasted a bit bitter.
Dong Ting picked up the scattered scrolls on the table, "I flipped through the books in the past few days and found some interesting poems."
The light is faint, enveloping her eyebrows, adding some tenderness like water.
She opened the folded pages in the corner of the book, "I've missed it to you for a long time. Does this sentence 'Long smile, the world is wide, and the fairy wind blows the jade', does it seem to be talking about your sister and the others? There is also this sentence, 'Baojun On the golden stage, I will carry the jade dragon to die for the king', which is a bit like Lingyang."
"Still looking at the old hometown, the long road is long, is this the reason for your name?" Dongting chuckled, "It's really not suitable, you have been going all the way to death, and you never look back. I say you It should be this sentence, 'There is a ruthless moon in the middle of the sky, I have no regrets in my life'."
Consultant Liu Huan: "What about yours?"
Dongting opened a new page, "I also have a poem, 'The yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will be empty for thousands of years'."
