I don't know how long passed, but Liuli had no concept of time at all under the guidance of Luo Xuan.
I opened my drunken eyes and looked at Penglai in the distance, half covered by smoke and half buried by clouds.
"You should have a good sleep, I'll go to the side room to rest." Luo Xuan increased the fire a little more, and then went into the room where the sundries were kept.
The tenderness moves the clouds and mountains, and the wine cup pours over the sky and the earth to forget.
Luo Xuan saw that her breathing was steady and there was nothing serious, so he got up to cook the medicine. His poison had worsened to the point where he was having it once a day. The heat poison was about to attack, and he needed to prepare early. It was just right to go outside in the ice and snow to reduce the fire. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
His teeth shook in anger, and blood flowed from his lips. Luo Xuan quickly opened her mouth. Why couldn't she get rid of her bad habit of biting her lower lip when she was angry
Luo Xuan untied the cloth from her eyes. The surrounding light seemed a little darker than before. They didn't know when they entered the mountain, but it was still a huge frozen crystal cave with stalactites on it. Huge icicle hanging upside down. Liuli was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that they would accidentally knock them off and stab her to death from the top of her head. Such a death would be too miserable.
Liuli really liked the crystal clear world around her, and she wished she could live in seclusion in this mountain with Luo Xuan for the rest of her life.
"Isn't it here yet?"
Luo Xuan lay in the snow, not feeling cold at all because the residual heat from the heat had not dissipated. Everything between heaven and earth is so quiet, everything seems to have disappeared, and there is only one person left in the world, so cold. In the past, he often felt like this, but he only felt peaceful inside. He had never felt lonely like he did now.
The hole was very long, but it was getting lower and lower. After a while, they had no choice but to bend down to pass through. Then they entered a hall. Liuli, who was all the way away, saw the colorful reflections on the wall. When they entered the hall, they found out that It is a cone-shaped icicle with a diameter of more than three meters that plunges straight from the top to the ground, less than a foot above the ground. There will be tiny water droplets sliding down for a long time, watering a weed-like plant growing in the center of the ground. There are also thin green vines on the plant, entangled with icicles enchantingly and climbing upwards. , many have sunk deeply into the ice, as if they are desperately absorbing the juice in the ice. A flower bloomed on the grass. The flower was white and elegant. There was nothing special about it. But at the stamen was a bead of luminous glass. The brilliance flashed continuously and filled the entire ice room. Reflected in the surroundings, it looks even more colorful, coquettish and beautiful, as if it is taking people into a fantasy world. Liuli stood there, dumbfounded. Are there such beautiful beads in the world? It seems as if it is alive and constantly emerging and passing away. Although it is so beautiful, it seems so difficult to possess and fragile and easily broken. Is the same true for life? Then why live such a difficult life
sky! its not right! Isn't there a night here where it doesn't get dark? She raised her head, only to find that she couldn't see the line of sky at all.
Since the distance was still very far, Luo Xuan held her hand and walked quite a few miles with the Immortal. Liuli saw that the path he was walking was very strange. After crossing several mountains, it seemed that he had entered a canyon. There was no snow on the ground, but it was all ice. She slid along all the way. The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, but the ice walls on both sides are extremely translucent. The light is refracted to the bottom of the valley, and the surrounding area is as bright as a fairyland. The most bizarre thing is that there are some unknown plants growing in some corners. Although Luo Xuan had taught her many herbs and plants along the way in the past six months, there was none that she could name or see here.
Luo Xuan gently waved his hand, trying hard to get rid of the burning heat between his fingers.
And is this long and narrow valley crack actually endless? They had been traveling for a full 8 hours, during which Brother Xuan used Immortal Walking to cover several sections of the journey. They also took a long break due to poisonous hair during the journey. Liuli looked at her watch depressedly, a little bored with the same scenery around her, and her eyes became tired and dizzy from being under the strong reflected light for a long time.
The sky and the earth are covered in silver, a vast expanse of white. Looking up at the undulating towering mountains, they are like an illusory sea, half covered by smoke and half buried by clouds. They have stood in this world for hundreds of millions of years, ethereal and lonely.
"Has the poison happened again so quickly? This... this time it's a heat poison..." As he spoke, he quickly turned sideways and stayed away from Luo Xuan to avoid accelerating the poison he was hit with. Luo Xuan leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. His eyebrows were furrowed and his face was pale.
Only then did Liuli suddenly realize that it was true that even though she was in an ice cave, she couldn't feel any cold. The temperature was very weird. I'm afraid she wouldn't feel cold at all even if she wasn't wearing any clothes! However, because she was wearing ice silkworm clothes and carrying a dust-proof bead, she didn't notice it for a long time.
He hugged her distressedly and rubbed her stiff body. But he did have this intention. He left a letter asking her to wait for him here for five days. If he didn't come back within five days, he would go back by himself.
Liuli woke up soon after, pulling on Luo Xuan's clothes, biting her lower lip and staring at him. We have come this far, how dare he not let himself go? Believe it or not, she will die for him now
When Luo Xuan woke up, Liuli still didn't wake up. If she knew that she had missed a warm night in Luo Xuan's arms, she would be so depressed that she would want to hit the wall and die.
Luo Xuan smiled helplessly. He would rather see Liuli cheating on him or messing around like a child, but he couldn't stand her looking at him and crying silently and sadly. He was always so doting on the former that he couldn't help but follow her whims, but the latter always made him feel distressed and at a loss. He didn't know why he couldn't treat Liuli as cruelly as he treated other women. He couldn't see her getting hurt, and he couldn't see her shed tears.
…
"Absurd!" Luo Xuan shouted in a low voice, but she refused to let go. There were tears in her eyes, and she wanted to bite him to death, so as not to feed the dragon in vain.
"We have traveled more than ten days in the past two days?"
Liuli closed her eyes, and there was still a holy light in front of her. Ren Luoxuan led him forward, full of trust and joy, such a feeling of warmth and security. If he could continue like this for the rest of his life, he would be willing to do so.
"One-night grass, a phantom flower that blooms once every 60 years on Penglai Mountain and can only be irrigated by ice and dew. It is said that it can make that person forget the most important memory that he can't forget. Unexpectedly, I saw it here, and it actually bloomed. Yes. I didn’t see it last time. Maybe it has something to do with the geographical conditions here?”
In the middle of the night, Luo Xuan got up and pushed the door gently, but something blocked it. With a little force, he heard a bang. When he opened the door and took a look, he saw Liuli sitting by the door, leaning against the door, unconscious and lying on the ground. He sighed softly. Was he afraid that he would leave her and go up the mountain alone late at night? I sat here watching all night, but I didn't think about how my body could withstand it without passing out.
"Don't lose it..."
"Cold?" Liuli was shocked, "But this time it was obviously the heat poison's turn, right?" She quickly stepped forward to touch his forehead, but was frightened back by the scalding temperature.
"Why... why is this like this? Why... why do you still say it's cold?"
I couldn't help but lament in my heart, forget it, forget it, just let her go. This child is too stubborn, and if he ever listens to his own words, he will definitely go up the mountain secretly when he leaves. When the time comes, he will be more likely to get into trouble wherever he goes to look for her in the Tianshan Mountains. It's better to put her in front of him, or die together. As long as I, Luo Xuan, am here, I will do my best to protect her. As for other things, Luo Xuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy when he thought of Liuli's muddy feet. Why bother to be passionate about him? He actually felt pity for her being homeless and wanted to take her as his disciple and take her back to Ailao Mountain. Now... Well, let's wait until August 15th to talk about everything!
"Huh? Xiami?" Liuli thought she heard wrongly.
I tried my best to give Luo Xuan a smile. It was so embarrassing for him to see me looking so glum. He must have thought that he was useless! However, the tears could not be stopped no matter how hard they came. My heart was still hanging in the air, unable to come down for a long time. She was so scared, so scared, if Brother Xuan really abandoned her...
"Don't bite!" shouted in a low voice.
Luo Xuan just stood there, unable to move for a long time. Liuli saw that he finally calmed down, then wiped the tears from his face and smiled through his tears. She really thought for a moment that Brother Xuan didn't want her anymore, as if she was the only one left in the whole world. She was so scared.
Luo Xuan came over, waved his right hand gently, and pulled out a vine from the icicle. It was so flexible that he broke it, penetrated it into the beads with his inner strength, strung it up, and made it into a bracelet. On Liuli's wrist, the knots were connected, and the vines automatically healed and grew together, and the connection was seamless.
Luo Xuan slowly walked to her side, hugged her up, wiped away the snow on her cold feet, and gently pressed a few times on the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet with his fingertips. Then walked toward the house.
Liuli hooked his neck hard, returned to her childlike temper and threatened loudly: "If you don't take me, I will die for you now! Anyway, I have nothing in this world! If you don't care about me, I will Hurry up and commit suicide so that you can be reincarnated, and maybe you can go back to the original world!" As she spoke, she cried loudly. Thanks to the doll, she could be said to have perfected her crying skills.
"Yes!" Liuli nodded vigorously, with a smile on her face, which was a bit earthy and ethereal against the colorful background.
There are only three days left until August 15th. With Liuli's body, she definitely couldn't be taken up the mountain. His current skill is only equivalent to that of an ordinary martial arts practitioner. Whether he can obtain the dragon's blood or not depends entirely on luck.
Is it too long to get along with others? Is it too much to be involved in the rights and wrongs of this worldly world
"Brother Xuan, what is this?"
"We'll leave tomorrow."
The snow was as high as the calves, and it was no longer convenient for the horses to cross the mountains and ridges, so they were tied up in the wooden house. The two of them trekked so hard in the lonely mountains. From a high altitude, they were just two small dots among the mountains. There was ice and snow everywhere, but fortunately Liuli had the Bichen Pearl that was not afraid of the cold and heat. She was so happy and proud that she and Luo Xuan had reconciled, running and jumping in front of them.
"Brother Xuan..."
But she saw Liuli standing in the snow outside the door, stumbling around helplessly in the snowy night, looking around, crying his name. Several wounds that had just been put on the medicine were open again, and blood was dripping drop by drop. Falling and blooming on the snow, they are particularly eye-catching. Liuli was just wearing a thin gauze dress, running in confusion on the snow with bare feet, one lotus flower at a time.
…
Coming from the west, there are clouds and mountains on the water, and towers on the mountains. The mountains and rivers shine on each other, the towers reflect each other, and God arranges it.
"Yes, the environment here is very special. There seems to be hot magma underground. The entire mountain is hundreds of miles in radius, but it is entirely made of ice and submerged in the numerous mountains of the Tianshan Mountains. It is difficult for ordinary people to find the entrance, even if they find it by chance. People will not foolishly travel for more than ten days and still not exit without seeing the end."
Liuli was scared. Didn't he ask himself anything? Are you angry again? But she, who was usually fooling around, was now frightened by the shock just now, and she no longer dared to do something wrong like before and ask for his forgiveness for being coquettish.
He squatted down weakly and calmed his breathing. The night sky was clear, and the sky and earth were illuminated brightly by the night snow and moonlight. And Luo Xuan stood far away in the moonlight, with a faint halo around his body. It was too illusory and ethereal. Could such a god-like man really be the lover he had been looking for for thousands of years? Is this a bit too wishful thinking? Or maybe, I would rather have nothing, not ask him to love me, be willing to keep him for the rest of his life, and just want him to be safe for the rest of his life
"Plants have the instinct to protect themselves. The charm of the bead is just to prevent it from being picked. But when you pick it off, it loses its spirituality and becomes just an ordinary colored transparent bead. However, with Even if it is artificial, I can grow a night grass! Although the beads of this night grass are useless, the leaves have a miraculous effect on pain relief. Although it only temporarily paralyzes people's nerves and makes people unable to feel it, it has also been used to treat trauma. It’s of great use. Take it with you!”
"Can we pick off that bead and take it back? It's so weird!"
"Yes. Also, have you noticed that it's not cold at all around here."
Seeing her look like that, Luo Xuan couldn't bear to be cruel, so he just let him bite her. He just stared at her helplessly. Sure enough, he is still a child!
Under the moonlit night, she just opened a hole in Luo Xuan's heart. He didn't know how to describe the desolate atmosphere in front of him, but many times after a long time, whenever he thought of Liuli, he couldn't help but Thinking of the scene at this moment, I trembled slightly with heartache.
"Geographical conditions?"
"Be careful not to catch a cold..." He didn't say much, just a simple sentence.
"Almost." Luo Xuan supported her staggering body, pulled off the strip of cloth on her robe and covered her eyes. He was afraid that it would be too bright for too long and she would go blind. Then he held her cold little hand and warmed it in his palm. He held her hand and led her forward quickly.
"Wow..." Liuli exclaimed.
"Okay!" Liuli received the approval and happily walked over to pick the beads. As expected, the beads lost their brilliance once they were separated from the petals, but they were still very beautiful. A small one, like a lovesick red bean, is as warm as jade when held in the hand.
But Luo Xuan fell down without warning. Liuli held his body and said anxiously:
Perhaps, after this August 15th, no matter what the outcome is, it is time for me to return to Ailao Mountain, continue to concentrate on self-cultivation, and live away from the world. Thinking about running around in this world of mortals for so many years, there was not a single thing left that he could care about or commemorate.
Luo Xuan lightly tapped the acupuncture points on her neck, and she suddenly woke up. Wow, what a scary bead, it seems like my consciousness has been eaten away by it.
Liuli was still pale and weak. She steeled herself and looked up at the simple but extremely strong roof. She was really tired from the journey! She had hesitated, been afraid and questioned, but no matter what, she didn't want to give up! It doesn't matter whether Brother Xuan accepts her or not. She swore to protect him! Who told you to be entangled with such a dog-skin plaster? I can't get rid of it even if I want to. She smiled forcefully.
"Cold...so cold..."
It didn't matter whether it was a blessing or a disaster. He didn't care much about life and death. It was just that as a doctor, he naturally regarded life as quite precious. The Dao is inaction, whether it is for himself or others, he just wants to fulfill his duty, why bother to hurt others
Luo Xuan helped her re-bandage the open wound.
While Liuli was ecstatically intoxicated in this world of dazzling ice crystals, she was stroking the smooth and erect ice walls on both sides. The narrowest point was only less than one meter apart, and they had to turn sideways to get past. The creation of heaven is really unpredictable, just like the uncanny workmanship of this mountain, it was forcibly split into a gap.
Although his martial arts skills were almost useless, luckily his ears were still intact. It was too quiet in the mountains, and Liuli's panicked shouts could be heard all the way away. Luo Xuan quickly got up and rushed back.
She also brought a lot of night grass into her bag, thinking that it might be useful in case she got injured during the fight with the dragon. The two of them continued to move forward.
He placed Liuli on the couch in the room, and then gave her the warm porridge to drink. Luo Xuan began to think that maybe he had been deceiving himself all along and regarded Liuli's feelings for him as too childish. If he had known that Liuli would fall so deeply into him, he would never have taken her with him in the first place.
Liuli looked at the bead and started to get greedy, wow, this is a treasure! I don’t know how much it will sell for if I take it back to the dealer!
Occasionally Luo Xuan would pick one or two plant leaves and put them in his arms. Liuli thought that it must be a very precious medicine! Brother Xuan once said that he accidentally found the place where the dragon ascended to heaven by collecting medicine. This probably refers to these!
I survived the heat poisoning outside because the last time I hurt myself was too serious, which accelerated the worsening of the poison and damaged my heart and lungs. Now my resistance is weaker and my discomfort is more intense than before. I don’t know how I survived, and it was night in a daze. The wind and snow have stopped, the mountains are covered with snow, and the moon, close to the jade plate, hangs high in the vast night sky.
Blood seeped out from the corners of Liuli's mouth. When her mouth was full of salty taste, she suddenly realized and quickly let go, hurriedly wiping the blood on Luo Xuan's fingers, and then gently licked the two small holes on the fingers bitten by the tiger's teeth. Luo Xuan was shocked and quickly pulled his hand back. Like a hot potato, he wanted to throw her in his arms to the ground.
"But the ice didn't melt at all! Haha, how interesting!"
Liuli opened her mouth and bit the index finger and middle finger of Luo Xuan's right hand in her mouth, looking at him angrily. Luo Xuan's fingers were surrounded by her warm and moist mouth, his soft and smooth tongue touched lightly, and his pointed little tiger teeth bit it, and he suddenly became inexplicably panicked. Wanting to pull out with force, Liuli bit down harder, refusing to let him leave.
