After Yan Qing finished reading, he played with the jade slip and laughed helplessly. He didn't expect that he and Xie Shiyi would resolve their feelings and express their feelings during their exile. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.
Yan Qing took another look at the clothes of a disciple of the Wangqing Sect on himself, changed into an inconspicuous green robe, and then sat cross-legged on a moss-covered stone, gathering his energy and concentrating his mind.
For Yan Qing, Qi Condensation was not a difficult task. After one night of practice, the spiritual power in his Dantian was already overflowing and absorbed by him, reaching the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sky was already turning pale. Yan Qing turned around and found that Xie Shiyi had come out at some point.
Xie Shiyi changed back into a snow-white dress, with a jade crown tied up her black hair. With the breeze and the bright moon, she was looking at him from afar through the morning mist.
Yan Qing smiled and asked: "How long have you been standing here?"
Xie Shiyi: "Not long after, how is your practice going?"
Yan Qing thought about it and said truthfully: "I should be able to break through the Mahayana stage within seven days, but it will be a bit difficult later." If they really want to return to the Spirit Transformation stage, it will take at least a few decades, but they are going to the human world now, so the Mahayana stage cultivation is enough.
Yan Qing briefly told Xie Shiyi about what Yu Xin had investigated: "What happened in Nanzezhou is similar to what you and I think. There is now a new city lord in Zhancheng, who is somehow involved with Shang Chongtian. We should not act rashly for now."
Xie Shiyi nodded: "Yeah."
After saying that, he walked over, stood in front of Yan Qing, stretched out his hand and held his wrist.
Yan Qing was curious about what Xie Shiyi was going to do, when he suddenly saw some red threads appear between his other fingers. The Weaver Silk had long been lost in Shifang City, and the weapons Yan Qing used later were either his own hair or the red threads dyed with his own blood.
Yan Qing was surprised: "Where did you get this?"
Xie Shiyi said: "Yuqingfeng, you threw it away randomly." When he made the soul thread, he simply cut a bowl of blood and soaked the thread in it. The excess was just thrown away. He didn't expect that Xie Shiyi would pick it up.
Yan Qing burst out laughing for a moment, lowered her head and watched him wrap the red string around her wrist, and whistled in a frivolous way: "Not bad, Yaoyao, you are so virtuous, right?"
Xie Shiyi was used to his carelessness and ignored him. He helped him wind the red thread around and around. He lowered his eyes and spoke clearly and calmly about business: "The Bai family has been in collusion with the Upper Heaven Zijinzhou for two hundred years. I didn't kill the Bai family before. The current Lord of the City of the Barrier is most likely a member of the Bai family."
Yan Qingxin was a little worried and asked him, "Xie Shiyi, do you still remember which members of the Bai family you spared?"
"Remember." Xie Shiyi didn't even raise his head, his slender fingers pressed against Yan Qing's skin and said, "Bai Ziqian, Bai Guanyu." His tone was understated, and he said the last name: "Bai Xiaoxiao."
Yan Qing was stunned: "Bai Xiaoxiao? You actually remember Bai Xiaoxiao."
Yan Qing couldn't laugh anymore. His mind raced, and he asked bluntly, "So when you were in the Rejuvenation Sect, you recognized me, but you also recognized Bai Xiaoxiao?"
Xie Shiyi did not deny: "Yeah."
All the plots of "Nightmare of Love" came into his mind in an instant. Yan Qing sat on the rock in silence for a long time, then laughed angrily, sighed faintly and said: "Xie Shiyi is amazing, your acting is great." He nodded, gritted his teeth and praised: "You are worthy of being the leader of the Immortal Alliance. If you want to pretend something, no one in the Nine Heavens should be able to see through it. No wonder you commented on my poor acting skills, it turns out you are an expert. I am so sorry."
Xie Shiyi defended himself: "I have never pretended in front of you."
Yan Qing nodded and said jokingly, "Isn't this called disguise? Since the Barrier City deliberately let Bai Xiaoxiao go, why did the Rejuvenation Sect pretend to turn a blind eye?"
Xie Shiyi: “…”
Xie Shiyi helped him tie the red string, then stood up and leaned over to give Yan Qing a kiss on the lips.
Yan Qing: “?!” The kiss at sunrise was chilly and cool like the early morning. The sunset glow fell on Xie Shiyi’s eyebrows and eyes, captivating him instantly.
Yan Qing was expressionless and wanted to turn away, but was gently stopped by Xie Shiyi. Both of their hair was slightly moved by the wind, and their eyes met.
Xie Shiyi seemed to smile gently, the coldness in the depths of his dark eyes disappeared, leaving only tenderness, and he said in a gentle tone: "Yan Qing, I am actually very happy that you will be jealous of this."
"But I don't want you to be angry."
"The four people I let go at the beginning have one thing in common, that is, they were all born in the first year of Jinghong."
Yan Qing was actually also affected by "Love Nightmare", and his emotions were a little fluctuating for a while. After calming down, he frowned after listening to Xie Shiyi's words.
Xie Shiyi said, "I got the sword of no regrets in the Nandou Palace, and practiced the way of ruthlessness. The Emperor of Nandou told me not to hesitate and go back to the barrier city to make a break, but he also wanted me to keep the person who was born in the first year of Jinghong. He said that person is closely related to my destiny and the world."
"But I didn't have enough rationality to care about this fate at that time."
At that time, he was close to being crazy. After killing people, he only wanted to find an answer from Yan Qing.
Yan Qing's brows furrowed even deeper: "It is closely related to the world."
Xie Shiyi said: "I don't believe in fate. And if Bai Xiaoxiao is really closely related to the world, sooner or later she will come to me by herself."
Yan Qing: "So, you never paid attention to Bai Xiaoxiao in the Upper Heaven?"
Xie Shiyi looked at him quietly for a while, then said casually: "I used the Soul Book, and the only thing I paid attention to all these years was the Demon Realm."
Yan Qing choked. He began to sort out this matter carefully. He now felt more and more that the book "Love Nightmare" was really forced into his mind by someone, and in his eyes, the protagonist of this book was not Bai Xiaoxiao, but Xie Shiyi.
Wuqing Dao, Liuli Xin, betrayal? What stage is the sect at now? Barrier city to get blood
The morning light breaks through the dark clouds and illuminates the entire forest.
Xie Shiyi said to him, "It's dawn, let's go."
Yan Qing jumped down from the rock and said, "Xie Shiyi, after I was reborn in the Rejuvenation Sect, I remembered some of my memories from the original world."
Xie Shiyi: “Yeah.”
Yan Qing said: "I remember that before I came to this world, I read a book. Your name was in this book."
Xie Shiyi nodded: "Yeah."
Yan Qing said: "Your ending in there was not very good." Yan Qing frowned, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain the book "Love Nightmare" to Xie Shiyi.
Seeing Yan Qing struggling with himself, Xie Shiyi was silent for a moment and said, "Did you see me fall in love with someone because of a bowl of porridge, take him as my disciple, and finally betray the sect because of him?"
Yan Qing suddenly raised his head: "..."
Yan Qing couldn't believe it: "How do you know? But you didn't accept him as your disciple, but Zhou and the one who betrayed the sect all fought against each other."
Xie Shiyi's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded. Perhaps because their relationship was now established, his coldness had subsided a lot. Xie Shiyi smiled and answered Yan Qing's question: "When I came back from Nanshi, on the 9,900th step of the Wangqing Sect, you kept testing me in your words and deeds."
Yan Qing: “…”
Xie Shiyi said calmly: "Don't test me next time. I will answer whatever you want to ask directly."
Yan Qing smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell you directly. In the book "Nightmare of Love", you were first ruined by the ruthless way, and then Liuli was heartbroken, exiled, and finally died in the Cangwang Sea. Now the first three are all correct."
Xie Shiyi was not afraid, he raised his eyes and asked: "But the first three things I did were all because of you, did I die for you in the end?"
Yan Qing shook his head and said, "No, in the book, I was a Taoist partner who was despised to death by you. When I was dying on the hospital bed, you were playing the piano outside."
Xie Shiyi spoke in a very calm tone, as if it was something that had nothing to do with him: "Well, maybe in the end, I will voluntarily die to find you."
Yan Qing whistled, her peach blossom eyes curved: "Xie Shiyi, are you always speaking so bluntly now?"
Xie Shiyi looked at him in confusion, then smiled and said seriously, "Because you love to talk nonsense and act crazy and stupid."
"… "
Yan Qing cares about him? Now he is seriously injured, so he has to endure it.
Liuxianzhou is a place that connects the upper heaven and the human world, and people can enter and exit freely. Nanzezhou is in chaos now, and the Qin family probably hasn't had time to seal off this place yet.
He and Xie Shiyi easily followed the formation to the human world. From the upper heaven to the human world, their physical bodies could clearly feel the spiritual energy becoming thinner and thinner, until there was not a bit left, as if they were going from the sea to the desert.
The world is vast, Zhancheng belongs to the State of Chu, and is located in a very remote place, bordering the Cangwang Sea.
Chu State, Linxian City.
This is a very prosperous city in Chu State, and it is also their place of residence. From Linxian City to the south is the barrier city. In spring, apricot blossoms are just beginning to bloom, and the streets are filled with the fragrance of various flowers. Tourists and merchants are constantly on the streets and alleys. Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi are tall and slender, with unique looks and temperaments, attracting countless eyes on the street. However, the two have long been accustomed to it. Xie Shiyi did not plan to stay in Linxian City, and was dragged by Yan Qing to an oil-paper umbrella shop.
Xie Shiyi: "What do you want to do?"
Yan Qing squatted down and said, "Buy an umbrella. In the four seasons of the year, except for summer, it rains in spring, rains in autumn, and rainstorms in winter. If you don't buy an umbrella now, what if you get wet and get sick? Don't forget our identities."
They are going to the Barrier City as mortals.
Xie Shiyi stood aside and asked the most superficial question in an otherworldly manner: "Do we have money?"
Yan Qing: “…” He only has spirit stones on him now, and they are top-grade spirit stones, which cannot be used as currency in the human world. Not to mention Xie Shiyi, with his mysophobia after growing up, how could he be stained with the smell of money.
Yan Qing withdrew his hand awkwardly.
The owner of the oil-paper umbrella shop was holding an abacus. After listening to their words, he said enthusiastically, "Would you two like to go to the barrier city?"
Yan Qing just wanted to get some information out of him, so he pretended to be miserable and said, "Yes, boss, it's a pity that we are short of money now and can't even afford an umbrella. We can only go to our relatives in the soaking wet."
The boss was even happier: "How about this, sir? If you help me deliver something, I will give you an umbrella for free and give you 100 taels of silver as a reward."
Yan Qing: "What is it?"
The boss frowned and said in distress: "The lady of the Su family in Zhancheng ordered a longevity lock from me before. It is not convenient for her to come and pick it up, and I can't spare the time to deliver it now. Please help me deliver it to the Su family's house."
Yan Qing thought, is there such a good thing
Two hundred years have passed and the world has changed dramatically. Yan Qing has no idea what the current situation of the Barrier City is.
There just happened to be an opportunity to establish a relationship with someone in the city, so naturally he would not refuse: "Since the boss trusts me so much, I will accept it."
