There was a hint of joking in his tone.
Xiahou She stood in place, the corners of his dark red robe drooping gently, falling on the dark river and on the weeds in the wilderness, making slight sounds.
When he heard Jianchou's words, he suddenly fell silent, as if he didn't understand what Jianchou was saying. After a while, he replied, "During the Heart Pearl Festival, I received three Heart Pearls, but I don't know where they came from. I don't know which one Senior Sister Jianchou is referring to?"
"The beauty of the mountains and rivers, we have come to the top. Those who do not know me, like you, I wish we could be close friends, to the four-sided platform in the distant clouds, to release the white deer among the green cliffs..."
The sound was faint, mixed with the sound of the flowing river.
Jianchou paused, then lowered his brows and closed his eyes, saying, "A bosom friend in the country is as close as a neighbor even though the world is far away."
Xiahou She listened but did not say anything.
Jianchou looked at him and said, "My three heart beads include evil, hardship, and goodness. I already know who got the evil and hardship beads, but I still don't know who took the last one, 'goodness'. It's like a stone sinking into the sea..."
No response always makes people feel like something is not right.
Under Jianchou's gaze, the young man standing by the water had no expression on his face, only a slight curve at the corner of his lips, with a bit of mockery: "It's rare to see someone like Senior Sister Jianchou who would put kindness in the heart bead. However, I didn't receive the heart bead from Senior Sister Jianchou. I'm afraid you asked the wrong person."
"Really?"
Jianchou raised his eyebrows without comment and just smiled and said, "I guess I asked the wrong person. It's a pity that this heart bead will remain a mystery in the end."
Xiahou She did not answer, nor did he continue the topic. He just looked at the two bridges in front of him and asked, "Which one do you choose, Senior Sister Jianchou?"
select
Jianchou glanced at the "ruthless" single-plank bridge in front of him, then looked back at the single-plank bridge in front of him, and said, "Everyone is suited to his own bridge, and I am naturally the bridge in front of me."
Lovers walk on the bridge of love.
The entire single-plank bridge is only one foot wide and five inches thick. It stretches across the vast river towards the darkness on the opposite side, with no end in sight.
Jianchou didn't hesitate at all. He took one step forward and took over.
Although the entire single-plank bridge gives people a shaky feeling, it is stable when you stand on it, without any shaking.
Jianchou took two steps and stood on the bridge, looking back at Xiahou She: "I haven't found anything unusual on this bridge yet, but you should be careful when you step on the bridge, Junior Brother."
Xiahou She didn't say anything.
He looked cold and didn't like to get close to people. Even when he was with Jianchou just now, it was only because they were alone at the moment and they had no choice but to get together. Now that he heard Chou talking, he just nodded.
Take a step forward like you would see sorrow, and step onto the single-plank bridge in one step.
However, he didn't expect that at the moment when his feet were about to land on the bridge, a strong resistance suddenly bounced up from the entire wooden bridge, and it was like a barrier, blocking Xiahou She!
The change in this instant came extremely quickly and dramatically!
Even Jianchou didn't have time to react before he heard a "bang" sound in front of the bridge. Xiahou She was caught off guard and was hit by the sudden barrier and flew backwards.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. The moment he was knocked out, he had already stabilized his body and landed heavily on the ground.
The huge impact force caused the tip of his toes to leave a deep mark in the weeds on the river bank!
Xiahou She was stunned.
Completely stunned.
He looked at the single-plank bridge floating quietly above the river with some disbelief. The word "ruthless" was indeed engraved on it!
How could it be possible...
Jianchou was still standing on his own bridge and was also stunned at this moment.
Only under the low sky, seagulls flapped their wings and flew over the two wooden bridges, making strange sounds that sounded like mockery.
***
Still by the river.
It's still a bridge.
The difference is that these two bridges are very long, large and wide, and are two long and smooth roads.
The entire bridge is made of a single piece of white jade, with delicate patterns carved on the bridgeheads, railings and even the bridge deck. There are a variety of carved patterns ranging from flowers, birds, insects and fish to birds and beasts, giving it a grand feel.
The two bridges are connected in parallel. On the beast pillar at the front end of the bridge stands a budgie, meticulously using its beak to groom its beautiful feathers.
The handsome boy was holding a folding fan in his hand and couldn't help looking at the parrot with a strange look.
Although this parrot has just demonstrated its skill of "mimicking" in front of them, there is nothing else to observe, but why does he find it more and more interesting the more he watches
This parrot is a little bit fond of beauty
Still think you are beautiful
Look at this...
"Fairy Lu, shall we go?"
The handsome man looked for a long time, and finally turned around and spoke to the lady in white not far behind him.
Lu Xiang stood quietly in front of the two roads, suppressing the worries in her heart, and said, "Junior Sister Nie Xiaowan once said in the jade slip that there are many spiritual beasts guarding this hidden world. I think the pig we met before, the mysterious man who performed the teleportation method, and the parrot in front of us can all be counted among them. The other party has extraordinary means, separating and moving us here, quietly. I think even if the other party calls us uninvited guests, they should respect their status as the host and will not kill us."
That makes sense.
The handsome man listened and nodded.
Lu Xiang said coldly: "Daoyou Jianchou is injured. We can't stay here any longer."
Looking back, they saw that there was no road behind them and the only thing left for them was a bridge over the river.
I guess, even if you want to find someone, you have to look for them after crossing the river.
Lu Xiangleng frowned slightly, glanced at the two roads engraved with the words "affection" and "ruthlessness", and went towards the word "affection".
The young man didn't show any surprise on his face, and finally just shifted his gaze to the other side.
Lu Xiangleng, the herbalist at Baiyue Valley, is a compassionate doctor who saves lives.
As early as when she was in the early stage of the Golden Core, she traveled between the left and right three thousand in the Central Region, collecting herbs and searching for elixirs, and saved the lives of many cultivators. Although the White Moon Valley was only one of the "top five" sects in the left three thousand, many people had heard of the name of the White Moon Valley because of Lu Xiangleng's kind heart.
He is thoughtful and polite, so he is the perfect candidate to be the next leader of Baiyue Valley.
Doctors care about the common people and have compassion for the world. They are naturally compassionate.
As for him...
The flowery young man gently waved the fan in front of his lips, creating an almost alluring arc: "Passing through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on me..."
Of course he is—
Ruthless way!
With a flick of his wide sleeves, Ruhua Gongzi took a step forward almost at the same time as Lu Xiangleng, and was about to step onto the long and flat path.
The budgie squatting on the bridge suddenly tilted its colorful head at this moment, looked at Ruhua Gongzi, and then looked at Lu Xiangleng.
The handsome young man noticed the parrot's movements, but before he could figure out what the mystery was, he stopped in his tracks.
The reason was simple. An invisible resistance appeared on the entire long road, preventing him from entering...
At this moment, Ruhua Gongzi frowned unceremoniously: "What does this bridge mean?"
Isn’t it said that if people are in harmony with the Tao, they can cross the river
With a thought, he subconsciously turned his head and wanted to ask Lu Xiangleng. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he only saw Lu Xiangleng standing in front of the bridge on the other side, with a look of unexpected surprise in his eyes.
Surprised.
Incomprehensible.
Don't believe it.
Lu Xiangleng stretched out her slender pale hand somewhat stiffly. Because she had been in contact with various spiritual herbs and medicines for many years, there was a bitter smell of medicine even between her fingers.
She was already familiar with this smell. Normally, this smell could calm her heart, but at this moment, it had no effect at all.
Touched.
A barrier.
Just as she was exploring the area where the stone bridge was.
"… "
My mind suddenly felt a little confused.
Lu Xiangleng knew that Mr. Ruhua was looking at her and said something. She should have turned around to answer, but at this moment, she did not move.
The words engraved on the bridgehead pillar are clear and unambiguous: Love.
“…How come?”
