While thinking about Xuanyu's words, Lu Qingjiu stretched out his hand to him who was still lying in the snow. Xuanyu smiled slightly, and Lu Qingjiu pulled Lu Qingjiu's hand up from the ground. After he got up, he gently patted off the snowflakes stuck on his body, and said warmly, "Master Lu, it's cold outside, we still go inside. Speak slowly."
It was indeed quite cold outside, Lu Qingjiu agreed with Xuanyu's proposal and went back to the house. Yin Xun, who was furious before, seemed like a balloon that had been punctured at this time, and his whole body wilted. He looked down at Lu Qingjiu in despair, trying to persuade Lu Qingjiu not to listen to Xuanyu's words. But obviously, he himself knew that this kind of persuasion was useless, so after the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly, but remained silent in sadness. Lu Qingjiu could only pat his arm in comfort.
Back in the warm room, Yin Xun was afraid that Lu Qingjiu would be cold, so he hurriedly went to the kitchen and poured hot tea. He was also stingy, so he didn't pour hot water for Xuanyu, and even pulled out ice cubes from the refrigerator and threw them at Xuanyu. In their cup, I can't wait to freeze the monk who prevented them from leaving.
Xuan Yu didn't mind at all, picked up the water glass and drank it, and smiled gently towards Yin Xun, saying thanks.
Xuanyu said: "Lord Lu, whether you leave or stay, the power to choose is in your hands."
Lu Qingjiu said, "If I leave, will Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun die
"We won't die." Yin Xun said angrily, "We are all non-humans. Even if we are injured, we will recover!"
Lu Qingjiu ignored Yin Xun and continued to look at Xuanyu.
Xuanyu nodded and said, "When the two worlds merge, the first thing to suffer is the junction. By then, Shuifu Village will no longer exist, not to mention Yinglong who uses his real body to guard the human world."
Yin Xunzheng wanted to refute, but was stopped by Lu Qingjiu. He seemed to understand the meaning of Ao Run's attack on him at this time. Ao Run injected cold air into his body and forced him to leave Shuifu Village. The cold will not make trouble, and the ending of sacrifice will be avoided. But apart from that, Aorun seems to want to merge the two worlds...
Xuanyu continued: "The four gods are dead, and without the four gods to block, it is only a matter of time before the two worlds merge. Lu Shizhu is the only one who has the ability to stop it."
Lu Qingjiu had heard this before, but when he listened to it again, he found redundant information. He looked up at Xuanyu suspiciously, and said, "Little Master, do you know where the Winter God is? Do you know his current situation? "
Xuanyu hummed softly.
"But hasn't the Winter God been missing for a long time? His name is... Xuan Ming?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Your name is Xuan Yu, what is the relationship between the two of you?"
Xuanyu sighed: "Lord Lu..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Just tell me, I can stand it." Whether it was Aorun or Bai Yuehu, they refused to give him the chance to choose in the face of certain things, because they thought that they knew something. It's not as happy as being kept in the dark, but in fact Lu Qingjiu has always been a person with his own ideas. He knows what he wants, and he doesn't need or wants to let others decide for him.
"The Winter God has indeed disappeared for many years." Xuanyu said, "The last time he saw the other three gods was a hundred years ago."
Unlike other gods, the Winter God is not loved by humans.
He brought death, hunger and cold. In a blanket of white snow, people are looking forward to the cold winter can pass quickly and arrive at the spring day full of vitality. What produces other gods is the belief and expectation of human beings, but it is fear and awe that produce the Winter God.
"But Dongshen doesn't mind." Xuanyu said, "He didn't complain."
Lu Qingjiu knew what must have happened to the Winter God, so he asked, "Then what happened?"
Xuanyu lowered his eyes, his voice was a little low, he said: "All this, until the winter god is polluted."
Lu Qingjiu showed a look of astonishment: "Winter God is polluted? Is he polluted?"
Xuanyu nodded.
"Wait, why is God being contaminated..." Lu Qingjiu said in disbelief, "But even if it is contaminated, doesn't it mean that the problem is not serious?"
Xuanyu said: "It shouldn't be serious, because the gods of the four seasons can be reborn. As long as they are reborn once, the pollution will be lifted. Just before the rebirth, the winter god had an accident."
Lu Qingjiu became nervous: "What the hell is going on?"
Xuan Yu said, "The Winter God is split."
Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" He immediately thought of his grandfather who was split into red and black.
"He split his soul into two parts, one part inherited the pollution, the other was pure and flawless, and the part that inherited the pollution was killed in a pure and flawless manner, and then spent decades rebuilding his body." Xuan Yu said , "No one knows about this." He explained that originally the four gods were inductive to each other. If the winter god dies, the other three gods can feel it, but the problem is that the winter god is split into two part of them, so part of them died, and the other three gods did not respond, thinking that the winter god was still alive. However, this is not the worst. The worst thing is that after the contaminated part of the Winter God was reborn, the pollution did not disappear. Not only did it not disappear, but it also lost the previous memory. It was full of evil thoughts about the human world, and even colluded with the candle. The Dragon Clan wants to integrate the human world and the non-human world directly.
Xuan Yu said this with a hint of helplessness in his tone. He obviously didn't understand why something that should be simple could become so complicated because of a little accident.
Lu Qingjiu was silent after listening, and then looked at Xuanyu with strange eyes: "You shouldn't be..."
Xuanyu and Lu Qingjiu looked at each other.
"You are part of the Winter God??" Lu Qingjiu originally thought that the names Xuanyu and Xuanming were just a coincidence, but now that he thinks about it carefully, how can there be so many coincidences in the world, and every time Xuanyu appears, there will be a heavy snow general To, the first time was in winter, and the second time was when it snowed in June this year.
Xuan Yu said: "That's right." He admitted it so easily.
"Isn't it? You are the Winter God?" Yin Xun, who was sitting next to him, couldn't sit still. He stood up and said, "How can you be the Winter God? I have seen the Winter God, and he is amazing—what's your answer? What's the matter?"
Xuanyu showed helplessness, saying that when he split his soul at that time, he basically didn't get any power. If the contaminated part of the Winter God hadn't voluntarily died, he wouldn't be able to kill him, but now that part has been reborn, but it's gone. The previous memory, I don't plan to let him kill again, and even want to fuse him.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun were stunned for a while, completely never expecting this to happen.
"Then why didn't you tell the others earlier?" Lu Qingjiu asked, "If you had said earlier, there should have been a chance for rescue, right?"
Xuan Yu said: "My strength is too weak, I can only appear in the coldest times. Before, I thought he was just throwing a temper. It was not until this year that I found out that he was serious." He sighed again.
Lu Qingjiu was about to speak, but he heard a violent wind blowing in the yard. This wind sound was very different from the usual wind sound. It was as mournful as howling. It even rolled up the snowflakes on the ground and threw them into the sky, covering the snowflakes. When the sun shines, the whole world is plunged into darkness.
"He's here." Xuanyu stood up.
Lu Qingjiu knew that he was talking about the contaminated part of the Winter God, and hurriedly said, "Don't go out, Bai Yuehu will be back soon."
Xuan Yu shook his head: "He won't be back so soon."
Lu Qingjiu said, "What do you know?"
Xuan Yu said: "Do you still remember that snow in June?"
Of course Lu Qingjiu remembered, he even remembered the vision between heaven and earth at that time, and the few candle dragons that fought with Bai Yuehu.
Xuanyu said, "That's the game they buried. Zhu Rong's death is just the beginning." He put his hands together and bowed to Lu Qingjiu, "Lu Shizhu, I'm offended."
Before Lu Qingjiu could react, Xuanyu stretched out his finger and tapped on Lu Qingjiu's forehead. Then, Lu Qingjiu felt a chill on his forehead, and all the chills in his body seemed to gather on the top of his head. In Yin Xun's stunned gaze, a few dancing ice butterflies appeared in front of Lu Qingjiu's eyes. These ice butterflies flew out from Lu Qingjiu's skin and also took away the cold feeling in his body.
"Don't worry about whether Lu Shizhu is going or staying." Xuanyu said warmly.
Before Lu Qingjiu could be happy, he saw that Xuanyu was about to push out the door. He wanted to stop Xuanyu, but Xuanyu had already made up his mind. He said that he already had no power in his body. It acts as a stopper, so let Lu Qingjiu not have to worry...
Lu Qingjiu said, "But after the fusion, you are gone!"
Xuanyu smiled: "I have already done what I should say and do. I am one with him."
He rejected Lu Qingjiu's obstruction, but pushed open the door and walked out slowly from the yard.
Across the whistling wind and snow, Lu Qingjiu vaguely saw a small figure standing outside the house. He struggled to identify it, only to realize that he had seen this child before. He never imagined that the child was the legendary winter god. , and Xuan Yu, who had already walked to the child's side, bent down and held the child's cold hand.
"You are finally willing to come back." The child rubbed the back of Xuanyu's hand with his cheek with some nostalgia, and his voice was still childish, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xuanyu hummed softly and said, "I kept you waiting for a long time."
The child said, "Let's go."
Xuanyu bent over and skillfully picked up the child. The child hugged Xuanyu's neck tightly, as if afraid that he would suddenly leave again. also calmed down.
Lu Qingjiu stood by the window in a daze.
Yin Xun poked Lu Qingjiu and muttered, "Ji'er, are we still leaving?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't go, let's wait for Bai Yuehu to come back."
Yin Xun hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After Xuanyu and the child left, the snow stopped. The warm sunlight shone through the clouds and fell into the snow. The air was cold, but it did not bring pain to Lu Qingjiu. Xuanyu took away the chill in his body. , let him return to a normal state.
Bai Yuehu didn't come back until around dusk. At that time, Lu Qingjiu was already lying on the kang and was about to fall asleep. He entered the room lightly, but Lu Qingjiu opened his eyes immediately and saw him.
"Ao Yue." Lu Qingjiu called his real name.
Bai Yuehu's expression was slightly stunned. He didn't seem to expect Lu Qingjiu to know his name. The black robe he was wearing was full of dark red blood, and because the temperature was too low, all the blood had coagulated, exuding With a faint smell of blood, he walked to Lu Qingjiu's side, lowered his head and stared at his lover, his long black hair scattered on Lu Qingjiu's cheeks, causing a slight itch, he said, "How do you know? "
"I guessed it." Lu Qingjiu blinked and reached out to hold a strand of Bai Yuehu's hair, "You're back."
"Well, I'm back." Bai Yuehu put a gentle kiss on Lu Qingjiu's lips, then lifted Lu Qingjiu from the bed, "Let's go right away."
"No." Lu Qingjiu said, "I won't leave, I won't be cold anymore, I want to stay here with you."
Bai Yuehu's hands stopped, and his soft expression faded. He looked at Lu Qingjiu and refused, "No."
"Xuanyu is the god of winter." Lu Qingjiu said, "He helped me get rid of the cold in my body, so I don't have to leave."
"You have to go." Bai Yuehu reached out and touched Lu Qingjiu's face. After feeling that Lu Qingjiu's cheeks were not as cold as before, but had the softness and warmth of human skin, he breathed a sigh of relief. But even so, he didn't mean to let go, "It will become very dangerous here."
Lu Qingjiu: "I know, so I want to accompany you here." Xuanyu once said that he is the only one who can save all this, and someone has already told him the answer, although he is still at a loss, but He thought he would understand eventually.
However, Bai Yuehu rejected Lu Qingjiu firmly, saying that he had to leave here. Of course, what he said sounded extremely ruthless, but he just said that Lu Qingjiu's body was too weak. He also scored energy to protect Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu wasn't annoyed when he heard the words, he just held Bai Yuehu's shoulders, twisted his head abruptly, motioned him to look into his eyes, and repeated what he just said.
Bai Yuehu said angrily, "Lu Qingjiu—"
Lu Qingjiu said, "If you say it again, I will leave."
Bai Yuehu took a deep breath and seemed to have done some psychological construction, intending to repeat what he just said, but he noticed Lu Qingjiu's aggrieved eyes, so the words reached his lips, and he swallowed them abruptly.
"Look, you can't even tell." Lu Qingjiu laughed and put his arms around Bai Yuehu's neck, he said, "I don't care, I won't leave anyway, aren't your dragon clan the most stingy? ? If you die and I live, the days will still be long, you are not afraid that I will find another girl to marry and have children? Seven or eight in one go?"
Bai Yuehu grabbed Lu Qingjiu's wrist and gritted his teeth, "You dare?!"
Lu Qingjiu said, "If you don't dare, if you are gone, I will dare to do anything."
It's not a bad thing, but Bai Yuehu became angrier the more he thought about it. When he thought about the scene where Lu Qingjiu was with someone else, he just wanted to swallow the person in front of him and let him go anywhere. No. Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu's faintly red pupils, and knew that his petty dragon couldn't be irritated, so he hurriedly offered a soothing kiss, and he was vague until the breath of Bai Yuehu's kiss was unpleasant. Said: "Look, I just said that you are so angry, Yuehu, I know what you are worried about, but I am not afraid... I want to accompany you wherever you go." Even hell.
Bai Yuehu hugged Lu Qingjiu tightly, wishing to embed him in his body, he said, "You will die."
Lu Qingjiu buried his head in Bai Yuehu's long hair, sniffed the wind and snow in his hair, and said, "If I'm gone, you can't find someone else behind my back."
Bai Yuehu couldn't bear it any longer, and he bit Lu Qingjiu's ear, but he didn't have any strength in the bite, and Lu Qingjiu hissed. When Bai Yuehu stopped, Lu Qingjiu's ears were already bleeding. Bai Yuehu felt a little distressed when he saw the blood beads, and carefully licked it clean.
Lu Qingjiu was dumbfounded by Bai Yuehu's boyish behavior. He patted Bai Yuehu on the shoulder and said that it's alright, let's not make trouble, let's live a good life.
Bai Yuehu's expression was a little dull, and he seemed to be still struggling.
Lu Qingjiu said some more words, the main idea was to let Bai Yuehu imagine that he would still be alive without him, so it is better to accompany Bai Yuehu.
Bai Yuehu's emotions gradually calmed down.
Lu Qingjiu lost the coldness in his body, and felt that he had regained the vitality of a young man. He rushed to the guest room and pulled Yin Xun, who was also taking a nap, up, and said that we would have a big dinner in the evening.
Yin Xun was stunned by Lu Qingjiu, and said, "What kind of dinner?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "It depends on what you want to eat."
Yin Xun was sluggish for a few seconds before he recovered from his stunned state, and said, "No, how do you say it's time to eat, what about Bai Yuehu? Has he come back?"
Lu Qingjiu pointed to his ear that had been bitten a lot, and said, "I'm back, not only did I come back, but I also bit my ear, and almost bit my ear off."
Yin Xun: "..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm still a little shy."
Yin Xun's expression twisted, and he didn't know whether he should hate them for giving him dog food at this time, or should he be happy that Bai Yuehu was fine. He said, "Bai Yuehu didn't say anything when he came back?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "What did you say?"
"Of course I want you to leave here." Yin Xun said anxiously, "Didn't Xuanyu say that an accident is going to happen soon? You will have problems staying here, shouldn't he send you away immediately, why are you still here? Delaying time here..."
Lu Qingjiu patted his shoulder, motioning him to calm down. Then he slowly explained the consensus he and Bai Yuehu had reached. All in all, he had decided to stay here, and Bai Yuehu chose to support his idea.
Yin Xun was stunned. He originally thought that the first thing Bai Yuehu did when he came back here was to take Lu Qingjiu away. Xuanyu could fool Lu Qingjiu, but could he still fool Bai Yuehu? But looking at Lu Qingjiu's words and expressions, it was obvious that he was not lying. Could it be that he really persuaded Bai Yuehu to let him stay here...
"Is Bai Yuehu crazy? How could you allow you to stay?" Yin Xun asked in disbelief, "He didn't know you would die? He was also brainwashed by Xuanyu?!"
"Yin Xun." Lu Qingjiu stopped him. He knew what Yin Xun was thinking. As Yin Xun's only friend, Yin Xun would naturally want him to live. It's just that in human life, some things are better than living. For the most important thing, Xuanyu didn't force him to stay, he just told Lu Qingjiu all the options and let him make his own choice, "Everyone will die."
Yin Xun still refused to accept it.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Calm down, everyone will die - I'll ask you a question, if between the two of us, only one can survive, and I gave you that chance, you will feel happy ?"
After Yin Xun thought for a moment, he said no.
"I won't be happy either." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm gone and I survived, but the rest of my life is spent in nostalgia for Bai Yuehu and you. I don't care about the rest of my life."
Yin Xun calmed down, he stopped trying to persuade Lu Qingjiu, but was still very depressed.
Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu couldn't persuade him any more, so he turned around and went to the kitchen by himself.
Today is an important day, and Lu Qingjiu decided to make a sumptuous dinner.
He took out a lot of ingredients from the refrigerator, and then began to carefully process it with his head down. After the shrimp is thawed, clean the shrimp line, put it in the oil pan and fry it until cooked, cut the potatoes, onions and carrots into strips, blanch them with special seasoning and then stir-fry to taste, and finally add the shrimp and simmer for a while, it is a delicious dry pot shrimp . The room soon filled with the rich aroma of food, and at some point Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both appeared in the kitchen and began to help Lu Qingjiu.
"These shrimps are more delicious when they are fresh, but they have been frozen for a long time now." Lu Qingjiu said, "I will definitely buy more fresh seafood to eat when the spring starts next year."
"I want to eat squid flower." Yin Xun said sullenly beside him.
"I said it now, it's too late, I'll make it for you tomorrow." Lu Qingjiu picked up the shrimp and looked at the chicken soup that was still simmering in the pot, "Do you want something to eat, fox?"
Bai Yuehu shook his head, indicating that nothing matters.
Lu Qingjiu took the pork from the refrigerator again, and planned to stir-fry the double-cooked pork.
Yin Xun stood beside him, and suddenly started to sob. He cried very sadly. Lu Qingjiu looked helpless, put down the things in his hand and turned to ask him what he was crying about.
Yin Xun choked, "I just remembered that in the days when you didn't come, I didn't even have meat to eat. I finally bought meat, but I could only boil it in plain water. Lu Qingjiu, I'm so scared."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Although Bai Yuehu didn't speak, he gently held Lu Qingjiu's hand beside him.
"You and Yuehu won't be wronged anymore." Lu Qingjiu said, "Look at how hard life is in this village, there's not even a trash can, and the fox can rummage through the trash can anyway."
Bai Yuehu: "...I didn't!"
Lu Qingjiu: "Really not?"
Bai Yuehu: "Occasionally."
Lu Qingjiu: "Occasionally?"
Bai Yuehu gave up talking, let go in silence and turned to work, ignoring Lu Qingjiu who was making fun of him. Lu Qingjiu was softened by Bai Yuehu's appearance, leaned over and kissed his own stingy fake fox spirit carefully, and finally managed to coax him again.
The corner of Yin Xun's mouth also forced a smile.
