As expected, Snow Rabbit was locked in the room by Miaoxueyu. Just in case, Miaoxueyu also cast an ice seal belonging to the snow girl on the door of the room. She unlocked the seal and let Mochizuki go in while she guarded the door.
"Snow Rabbit." Mochizuki called as he pushed the door open and went in.
Snow Rabbit was lying on the bed gloomily, hugging her stuffed rabbit and teddy bear, which were her two favorite toys. The stuffed rabbit was sewn for her by her father Tingyue when she was not born, and That teddy bear was a gift that Mochizuki bought from the human world and was given to her. When she heard her uncle Mochizuki calling her name, she couldn't believe her ears and jumped up.
She rushed forward, got into Wangyue's arms, and responded aggrievedly: "Uncle Wangyue."
"Let me see why my little Snow Rabbit has lost weight." Mochizuki patted the Snow Rabbit on the head and said.
The snow rabbit in front of me is already a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. Her eyes and eyebrows look very much like her brother's, but her personality is extremely quirky. The recent days of confinement have made her look like a little flower that has been hit by a violent storm. , wilting, it makes people feel distressed to see it.
"Where's brother Xiao Leng? Are you back too? Tell me about your journey." Xue Tu couldn't wait to know what everyone had experienced, because that was what she had missed.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, just sit down and tell me slowly."
Wang Yue told Xue Tu roughly what happened along the way. Although his language skills were not very good, she was still fascinated. When she heard that Ouyang Xiao Leng's succession ceremony was going to be held in the royal city, She jumped up even more happily, "That's great, that's great. You must ask my mother to let me see Brother Xiao Leng's succession ceremony with my own eyes."
"I'll try my best," Mochizuki comforted her.
When Mochizuki left, Snow Rabbit was reluctant to leave. For her, Uncle Mochizuki at this time was her connection with the outside world, and she wanted to hear more stories from him.
"Xuetu said she wanted to go to the ceremony. Can you let me take her there when you see her?" Wang Yuelin asked Miao Xueyou when she left Wutong Residence.
"Well, I will take her with me to the ceremony!"
After receiving such a reply from Miao Xueyou, Mochizuki felt a lot more at ease. Although he was not the one taking her there, as long as he could go to the scene, the little snow rabbit would definitely be very happy.
After leaving, he thought about the many differences between Miao Xueyou and the past, to the point where they were completely different from each other. When his brother was still alive, Miao Xueyou was the most beautiful woman in the royal city. She was romantic by nature and liked to hang out among men. , which also gave Mochizuki a bad impression of her, but her brother just liked this woman and remained unchanged until his death. After her brother's death, Miao Xueyou became reclusive. Perhaps because of the decline of the demon world, she rarely appeared in public and her dress became extremely simple and elegant. Her discipline of Yukito becomes more and more severe year by year, and sometimes she even shows over-protection, but it is understandable. After all, after her brother is gone, they have become each other's only support. Even if Yong-sama and she continue to dote on Yukito, It cannot replace a father's love.
But he still dotes on Snow Rabbit from the bottom of his heart, because she is his brother's only bloodline and his last remaining relative in the world. Also because of her kind and naughty character, she is like a ray of sunshine in this chaotic demon world. And he is a person who likes sunshine. He feels that maybe, as Miao Xueyu said, Xuetu should be allowed to live an ordinary and peaceful life instead of getting involved in the struggle for power and the war with Qingyun. If she suffers anything because of this, When hurt, the first person he can't forgive is himself.
But when he first saw Snow Rabbit, her melancholy expression and longing for the outside world lingered in front of him. What should he do to treat her best? He was also overly protected by his brother Tingyue when he was a child. Because they had no parents since they were young, they lived a life of dependence on each other. They had the title of nobility but were isolated in the royal city. Therefore, when he grew up, he would choose to move around without hesitation. Wandering, it seems that the yearning for freedom that has been accumulated in my heart for a long time can finally be released. The snow rabbit now is very similar to myself at that time.
Xia Qiu unknowingly lived on Changsheng Island for three days. Every day here made her feel calm and peaceful. She was in the company of Yuhe Immortal, chatting with him, listening to him playing the flute, and asking him for advice on how to leave the soul. . When he was tired, she would walk alone on the island, or practice finding her own way to effectively activate the soul separation.
Before finding her own method, she decided to imitate the way Yuhe Sage merged into nature. Since Yuhe Sage was always there to help her stabilize the power of her soul when she left the body, her ability to leave the body greatly improved in just a few days. improve. Perhaps the unique natural power on Changsheng Island played a supporting role. She felt more and more comfortable controlling her ability to leave the body. During sleep, her soul could easily leave the body, but she was still unable to go where she wanted. place, she later tried several times to go to places other than Changsheng Island with Immortal Yuhe, but without success.
Being separated from one's soul is a strange feeling. The scenes she sees will be disturbed by her own subjective consciousness, and sometimes unreal things will be mixed into them. If she practices improperly, she may even imagine enemies who can harm herself, or make up her own reality. The false reality that does not exist is always destroyed by the phantoms created by her every time. These days, Yuhe Sennin is obviously weaker than when she first arrived on the island. Even the time spent talking to her is constantly shortening, while the rest time in between is infinitely longer.
"I'm afraid I will never wake up one time, right? Together with this island!" When Yuhe Sage said such a sentence quietly after waking up, there was no sadness in his words, but An extraordinary peace.
Xia Qiu knew what he meant by never waking up, but she didn't want to think about it any further. As he weakened, the plants on the island began to wither. She took advantage of his deep sleep to collect all the petals scattered everywhere. I got up, fearing that he would be sad when he saw it, and planned to bury it near the stone pavilion.
These days of getting along with each other made her feel the deep pain in Yu Hexian's heart. He was not afraid of the death he was about to face. What he was afraid of was the past that he had no idea about. This feeling would be impossible for anyone who has not had the same experience. Realize that a person who has lost memories of the past is like a rootless duckweed. Although his body is on this island, his soul is floating around. He must be looking for clues to his memory by using his soul to travel around the world. Well, where did he come from? Being too entangled in this issue will make people, like this island, blur the boundaries of time.
She did not regret staying. She only hoped that Elder Cheng and others in the royal city would not go back on their word and allow Ouyang Xiaoleng to ascend the throne as agreed. If this was the case, he would become the king of the entire demon world. Before that, she had never thought carefully about what this meant. After rising to the position of the king of this world above ten thousand people, he should not be the same person as before, and he is still the same as before. Will the distance between them continue to widen? Only this point She couldn't calm down, and an indescribable pain clogged her chest.
Yuhe Sage's body was getting worse and worse, and he could only sit leaning on the railing. He was in a state of lethargy for a long time. When he woke up, he would call Xia Qiu's name in a weak voice. The flowers that were still blooming were already within sight. It was too late for her to pick up the petals scattered on the ground.
Yu Hexian suddenly woke up and found her busy burying the petals. He couldn't help but smile, although the smile was also so weak.
He stood up with support and said: "Don't collect them. Sooner or later they will turn into the soil or float into the lake with the wind."
His voice was so weak that one couldn't help but worry that his time might be running out. Like those flowers, although the time she spent with him was short-lived, she felt his innocence and indifference to the world.
In her eyes, he has become her friend and mentor. For the first time, someone loves to listen to her talk so much, and every word she says makes him feel interesting. She really wanted to prevent his death, but it seemed to be beyond her ability. All she could do was tell him some happy things as much as possible, about her grandparents, and about her best friend Lingmei. The stories that happened between her and her were about how she was a depressed child when she was a child, but later she gradually became lively and cheerful, and about her encounter with Ouyang Xiaoleng. The stories about her always fascinated the Yuhe Immortal, and he He would cheer up and nod from time to time, or ask one or two short-answer questions.
"I think you should be able to return to the royal city of Yongchuan soon. Do you need me to send the crane to deliver a message to them first?" Immortal Yuhe suddenly asked. Seeing that Xia Qiu's eyes were wet and he hesitated to speak, he continued, "Let me be alone for the last time. I don't want others to see me become weak and ugly."
He had already seen through her mind, and she showed infinite kindness and mercy to him, but he stubbornly persisted in his idea, and it seemed that no matter what she said, he could not change it. He knew that he didn't have much time left. Apart from Xianhe, Xia Qiu was his first friend since he had memories. He really didn't want her to see the embarrassing state of his death. Just like those withered flowers, no matter how beautiful they once were, they will turn into decay.
"The teacher in my school is the manager of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient House. There are many materials and books that record anecdotes and strange things in the Three Realms and even the world outside the Three Realms. Maybe I will find records about your origins, and maybe you can also Find a way to heal you," Xia Qiu said.
She suddenly remembered Dong Muya. Last time, she found clues from the database about the earth talisman and the underworld. Maybe she could also answer the question about Yuhe Immortal. She felt that she had to rush back to Yongchuan as soon as possible. The earlier she started, the more likely she would be to save Yuhe Senren's life. It was difficult for her to face the demise of any life, especially the one she loved.
"Is there really such a place?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yuhe Immortal's eyes.
"Yes, so you must persist until I bring you the information I found, and we will definitely meet again!" Xia Qiu replied firmly, also to give him courage.
