Living Up to You

Chapter 28

Views:

From Beijing to Donghua Mountain, Lingxi traveled day and night without sleep, and it took three full days. As soon as Nanzhi unsealed the spell for her, she received countless birds, including Qingkui's Qinglian's and Qingnian's, all came out to look for her.

I don't know what happened to Donghai after taking the soul-repelling beads that day, Nan Zhi refused to say more, only said that he rescued her in time along the direction of the evil spirit's escape, took her and left.

When approaching Donghua Mountain, Nanzhi still turned into a rose flower and stayed in Lingxi's hair. At the foot of the mountain, Qing Kui and Qing Lian came out to pick her up.

"Ah Chou!" Qingkui's voice came first, but he didn't want to wait for someone to arrive, his eyes were red, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Qing Kui touched Ling Xi's face with one hand, and looked him up and down, "Jiu Sheng said that you were slapped by the shark's fish tail, and your yang energy was sucked dry by the evil ghost. You haven't heard from me for a few days. We thought... still Think… "

"Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Lingxi," before Qing Kui finished speaking, Jiu Sheng jumped up and said, "I want to see your rose flower, he is so amazing! I want to worship him..."

Before Jiu Sheng finished speaking, he was slapped by Qing Kui, "Shut up for me!"

Said and held down its spout.

Lingxi looked at Qinglian behind Qingkui, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Senior Brother Qingkui, I'm fine." Lingxi smiled, "Let's go, I have the soul-locking water and the soul-suppressing beads. Donghua Shangxian also said that he wants the most spiritual thing from Cangjia Mountain. Did you bring it?"

Qing Kui frowned and said, "Master is in retreat, so he didn't show up."

"But Uncle Cangqu is here and is discussing this matter with Shangxian, let's go up and talk about it." Qinglian answered.

***

After going up Donghua Mountain, Lingxi thought in a trance that the meeting of the Four Immortals hadn't ended yet, but had just changed places.

The main hall of Donghua Mountain is named Chizhu, and the hall lives up to its name. The whole palace is dyed blood red with bright red paint, just like the red dress worn by Donghua Shangxian. There are four factions neatly lined up in the hall, Cangjia, Liyang, Juyu, Donghua, not a few of them. But this time it was Cang Qu who sat at the head of Cangjia.

This Uncle Cangqu, Lingxi heard him out of ten times, and nine times he had something to do with wine. Fortunately, today he was serious and did not look drunk.

The three of them saluted all the heads, and Lingxi eagerly wanted to hand over the soul-locking water and soul-suppressing beads to Donghua Shangxian, not wanting to be robbed of the phone. Zhuge Xu, head of Liyang, was the first to ask with a smile, "I wonder if Lingxi got the soul-suppressing pearl?"

Lingxi had been slapped by Zhuge Xu, and she knew his skill of smiling like a tiger, so she didn't dare to be negligent, she nodded and said: "Back to the head of Zhuge, Lingxi got all twenty-four soul-suppressing beads."

Zhuge Xu stroked his long beard, nodded, and said leisurely: "That day I waited on the surface of the East China Sea, waiting for several hours to catch evil spirits and ghosts... I don't know if Lingxi knows, I waited and returned empty-handed?"

Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, she fainted after getting the soul-repelling pearl, naturally she didn't know what happened next, but Zhuge Xu's question obviously had bad intentions, Lingxi bit her lip and remained silent.

"I already said..."

Qing Kui was angrily stopped by Qing Lian, and said: "Master Zhuge, Senior Brother Qing Kui has explained to everyone before that after Ling Xi took out the soul-suppressing beads, he got rid of the evil spirits, so none of them escaped from the East China Sea. the sea."

"Haha..." Zhuge Xu laughed loudly, "A little girl who has only been in the immortal sect for six years and has not yet cultivated the immortal body, beat tens of thousands of evil spirits to death by herself? I am not afraid of becoming six people if I tell such a lie. The biggest joke in the world!"

"Ha, it turns out that everyone is here today to hold a criticism meeting!" Qing Kui ignored Qinglian's obstruction, and said with a sneer, "Why did Cangjia Mountain produce such a talented genius!"

Lingxi was silent all the time, but she felt sad in her heart. Thinking of Jiu Sheng just yelling that roses are powerful, could it be Nan Zhi who beat those evil ghosts to death

Qing Kui should have said that it was the evil spirits she dealt with in order to help her protect Nan Zhi.

"I'm just curious, I don't have any malicious intentions..." Yu Liuli, the head of Juyu's name is Liuli, and her appearance is as clear as Liuli. She stood up and said softly, "It's not difficult to subdue those evil spirits, but To beat everyone to death... We just want to know how Lingxi did it?"

"She can make the snow lotus go to dust, what else can't she do? Wizard...if it's not some weird monster!" Zhuge Xu sneered immediately.

"You!" Qing Kui was so angry that he almost rushed forward.

"Lingxi didn't subdue those evil spirits by her own ability." Lingxi said suddenly.

Both Qingkui and Qinglian were taken aback, Yu Liuli eagerly waited for Lingxi's next words, Zhuge Xu looked to see how you would deny it.

Lingxi carefully calculated what she was about to say, and then slowly said: "Lingxi met a lonely soul in the East China Sea, because it was just a strand of soul, and it was not completely suppressed by the soul-suppressing pearl. She told me the origin of the soul-suppressing pearl. and taught me some spells to deal with evil spirits. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Master for proof, I used the spells she taught to contact Master at that time.”

Zhuge Xu obviously didn't believe her words, "If that solitary soul really has that ability, how can there be only one soul left and be crushed in the East China Sea?"

"Lingxi doesn't know either. She didn't say which faction she came from or when she was forced into the East China Sea. She just said that it was too long and she forgot." Lingxi is not good at lying. She didn't dare to raise her head and speak confidently, so that she felt a little guilty about this truth.

"Then why did you disappear for a few days? Where did you go these few days?" Zhuge Xu refused to let it go easily.

Lingxi was at a loss for words for a while, but she heard a familiar voice say: "Lingxi is not your apprentice, so I need to report to you where she went?"

Donghua Shangxian's red dress blended in with Chizhudian, and she was silent and restrained, so that people could hardly notice her existence.

As soon as Zhugexu saw Shangxian, he helped Lingxi speak, so he shut up quickly.

"In the past few days, everyone has worked tirelessly between the East China Sea and Donghua Mountain. Although I am not from Cangjia Mountain, I am very touched!" Donghua Shangxian sat on the main seat with a slanted body. , swept across the crowd with a teasing smile, and finally his eyes fell on Cang Qu, "They just want to see what the supreme spirit of Cangjia Mountain is. How about showing them Cang Qu? Save one or two Here—noisy."

The last word "noisy" suddenly lowered the pitch, the chill was overwhelming, and the Chizhu Hall was suddenly so quiet that one felt sad.

Hearing this, Cang Qu stood up, and just as he moved, the aroma of wine lingered.

Lingxi watched quietly, but was actually a little curious.

Everyone in the world says that Cangjia is a spiritual land where both holy and evil coexist. There is the entrance to the God Realm on the top, and the junction between the Immortal and the Devil below. There are many traces left by the God Clan hidden on the mountain, but they are also disturbed by the Demon Realm all the year round, and their survival is only overnight. In the past few years in Cangjia Mountain, she has not seen any miracles, but she has witnessed the invasion of demons a few times.

What would be the most spiritual thing in such a "spiritual land"

I don't know if she was too nervous, and suddenly wanted to hide the roses in her hair.

Cang Qu smelled of alcohol, but he was not drunk. He glanced at the crowd apologetically and said, "It's just a joke made by Shangxian with everyone. Where did Cang Jia get such a spiritual thing?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not believing, Donghua Shangxian was noncommittal.

"You all know that this time Cangjia turned to Shangxian for help to rescue his eldest disciple Feng Su, and Feng Su's soul was stored in the silver mirror. The two masters should be clear that the silver mirror is a thing of the gods, and it has two sides. One side gathers the soul, and the other side attracts the soul. Feng Su’s soul is now in the soul-gathering mirror. To let the soul out, naturally another mirror is needed. If the two masters don’t know, go back and read more ancient books, or ask That’s the elder in the door.”

The obvious disdain and ridicule of Cang Qu's last sentence made Zhuge Xu's face flushed, but Yu Liuli was still calm, and said humbly, "I just want to see the other side of the soul-inducing mirror."

Cang Qu curled his lips and smiled, "I'm sorry, the soul-inducing mirror is with senior brother, and he hasn't reached Donghua Mountain yet."

Yu Liuli was slightly embarrassed, while Zhuge Xu glared at him.

"Everyone has been working for half a month, and it's time to go back and tidy up the things in the door." Shangxian Donghua said leisurely, already in the posture of chasing people away.

It was indeed more than half a month from the meeting of the Four Immortals to today, but neither Zhuge Xu nor Yu Liuli really wanted to leave.

To regenerate the almost shattered soul

Perhaps in some immortal arts that have been lost, it can indeed be done. But now in this fairy world, it is unheard of and unseen!

However, Donghua Shangxian didn't seem to intend to give them a chance to "see", so he took Lingxi and disappeared in the Chizhu Palace in the blink of an eye.

***

It is night, the moon is shining like a wash, and the sky is full of stars.

Lingxi's tension and anticipation were diluted by the moonlight, leaving only anxiety and restlessness to keep her from tossing and turning.

She thought that Master must have prepared everything, and only waited for her to come back before Donghua Shangxian could cast spells. But she has already got the soul-locking water and the soul-suppressing beads, and Master Cangqu has already rushed over, but the master will not arrive until tomorrow.

Disappointment is inevitable. And recalling the pale face when she saw Cang Yu lying on the couch last time, Ling Xi was always a little uneasy, afraid that something might happen, what if the master couldn't arrive tomorrow? What should I do if the Master cannot even arrive after three days

It was impossible for Lingxi to comfort herself, the master cared about the elder brother just as much as she did, and hoped that the elder brother would come back to life soon, but unfortunately he still couldn't sleep, even though he hadn't rested for three days and nights.

The wind was rustling outside the window, as if fallen leaves were falling in front of the window. Lingxi silently called Nanzhi a few times, wanting to ask him about Donghai, but he never responded. In the middle of the night, she was drowsy and about to fall asleep, when she heard a "squeak", the cold wind blew her body cold.

Lingxi sat up in shock, saw that the door was open, and asked, "Who?"

"Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Lingxi!" A clear and clear child's voice called out, "It's me."

Lingxi took a closer look, and saw that Jiu Sheng was spinning the gourd and flying towards her.

"Little Lingxi..." Jiu Sheng rubbed Lingxi's body, "I managed to get out. Show me if your roses are alright?"

Lingxi patted her heart, she was a little surprised just now.

"Jiu Sheng, can you tell me what happened in Donghai first?" She and Qingkui Qinglian didn't live together, and Nanzhi didn't answer her.

"Wow, you don't know how powerful roses are!" Speaking of Donghai, Jiu Sheng said excitedly and adoringly, "At that time, Xinyin and I couldn't take care of ourselves, watching you being tailed by a shark! I was so anxious! At this time, the rose flower spits out black ink, and the East China Sea is pitch black, and the mermaids can't see anything, and they all run away! Why do you think I'm so stupid, I didn't think of the trick of spitting ink!"

"What happened later? Did you see who took care of those evil spirits?" Lingxi asked.

"Of course!" Jiu Sheng repeatedly pointed at the gourd, "Once the ink disperses, Qiangwei will turn into a beautiful man! Unfortunately, you are missing... We followed him to look around until we saw the evil spirit appear. Wow, Qiangwei Hua was so cool at the time! When I saw a ghost, I caught it and asked where you were. If I didn’t say anything, I squeezed my soul out! Then he moved too fast, and I didn’t keep up until he came out holding you. At that time, your hands were covered in blood , the face is dead and white, I thought I was out of breath! Rose puts down and you start to clean up those evil spirits, swish, swish, swish!"

Jiu Sheng swayed excitedly in the air, "I've never seen anyone with such a powerful skill when I grow up. That's handsome! That's handsome! That's shocking! So Xiaoling Xi, call him out quickly, I want to worship him as my teacher!"

What Jiu Sheng said made Lingxi lose her mind, and sat on the couch sleepily.

"Little Lingxi... what's the matter with you?" Jiu Sheng said anxiously, "Yes, did it disturb you to sleep?"

Lingxi shook her head, "Qiangwei is tired today, I'll let him come out to see you another day, okay?"

Jiu Sheng shook his body in disappointment, "Okay...then I'll go back first, or that bastard Qing Kui will abuse me again!"

Lingxi smiled and touched his head.

"Little Lingxi, rest well!"

Jiu Sheng flew away, Lingxi got up and walked out of the room.

She had expected that the evil spirits in the East China Sea would be wiped out by Nan Zhi, but after hearing what Jiu Sheng said, she couldn't be as excited as he was. She felt that she should say something to Nan Zhi, but she couldn't tell exactly what to say.

He had only beheaded a monster, except for the evil spirits at the bottom of the sea, so he was right.

But Lingxi always felt that there was a part of Nanzhi's temperament that she couldn't control. Even after watching him grow up and take shape, she still doesn't know how far Nan Zhi's cultivation has reached, and how many things he can do that will shock the fairy world. Except for her, he is terribly cold to everything in this world, so what if one day he stops listening to her

Thinking of this, Lingxi felt as if there was a big rock in her heart, and she couldn't breathe, so she kept shouting in her heart: "Nan Zhi, Nan Zhi, Nan Zhi..."

Nan Zhi finally responded and showed up. Lingxi hugged him tightly, "Nan Zhi, will it be... one day you won't listen to me anymore?"

Nan Zhi let Lingxi hug her, but didn't answer.

"Will it?" Lingxi looked up at him worriedly, the moonlight reflected in her clear eyes, and the petals of the jacaranda fell like meteors.

Nan Zhi stood at the bottom of the jacaranda tree, her breath was cool, nothing could be reflected in her eyes, only the person in front of her eyes. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her eyes lightly.

All the prosperity and prosperity are inferior to this pair of Qiushuijian pupils.

Lingxi closed her eyes, feeling warm in her heart, and the warm touch of her lips made her extremely at ease.

"Will there be a day when you won't be by my side?" Nan Zhi asked her softly, wrapping her arms around her and whispering in her ear.

Lingxi suddenly let go of her heart, feeling that her doubts were really ridiculous. Nanzhi is her fairy, she is his spirit master, he cannot do without her, and she will not abandon him, they will be together forever. How could he not listen to her? How could you not listen to her

"whee… "

There was a cool breeze, and there was a laugh.

In the shadowy forest, the light figure of a woman shuttled through it, landed on the branch in front of Lingxi impartially, swayed her legs and tilted her head and said, "Hey, a fairy and a spirit master can't love each other."

Lingxi's face turned red suddenly, and she jumped out of Nan Zhi's embrace as if she was burning.

What... in love. What is this woman talking about

The woman sitting on the branch has a light figure, a delicate and lively appearance, her eyebrows and eyes seem to come out of a painting, and she said with a smile: "Hehe, I've seen it all. People who don't love each other don't do this."

The woman picked up a fallen flower and kissed it fiercely.

Lingxi blushed, her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't speak, but Nan Zhi spoke coldly, "Why are you here?"

The woman blew lightly, and the flower fluttered down. She gave a "shush" and whispered, "He ran out secretly. Don't tell him that you saw me."

As the woman said, she kicked one foot and jumped to another jacaranda tree.

Lingxi was wondering how Nanzhi knew this woman, when she saw a red dress brushing past her eyes, and then the woman's silver bell-like laughter came: "Come and catch me, come and catch me, haha..."

"It's his fairy." Nanzhi answered Lingxi's question.

Lingxi naturally knew that the "he" Nanzhi was talking about was the Donghua Shangxian who was dressed in red just now, and she nodded suddenly. She had indeed heard from Senior Brother Qing Kui that Donghua Shangxian had a fairy spirit, and it took three thousand years to cultivate it. As for the physical body, I didn't expect to be such a naughty and clever woman.

"How do you know her?" Lingxi just asked, but felt that her question was silly.

Nan Zhi once went to Donghua Shangxian to help him cultivate a physical body, and it is not unusual to see his fairy.

Sure enough, Nanzhi replied: "I have."

With that said, he took Lingxi's hand and wanted to go back. Thinking of what the woman said just now, Lingxi felt panicked and withdrew her hand dumbly. Sensing that Nan stopped turning his head, she didn't dare to look up at him, she just felt her face was on fire and her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't help herself.

Nan Zhi frowned slightly on his jade-like face, and when she tried to pull her again, Ling Xi avoided her with little hesitation.

Nan Zhi suddenly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around her waist and leaned over to cover her lips.

Different from the kiss that just kissed the eyes, and even more different from the light kiss at the bottom of the Wangchuan River, this kiss was hot and powerful, pressing every step of the way until it was desperate. Lingxi's mind went blank, she just felt a warmth flowing along those two lips and covering her whole body, making her feel hot all over, even though her eyes were tightly closed, she seemed to be able to see peach blossoms blooming in front of her eyes one after another.

fall in love.

The inexplicable emotions were like a dragonfly touching water, stirring up ripples and hitting them in circles.

Half a month ago, Nan Zhi asked her what love was in a room not far away, and now he hugged her tightly, entwining lips and tongues.

Is this... what it feels like to be in love

Lingxi felt her whole body go limp, as if she was going to melt into water in an instant. Her heart beat faster and faster, but it wasn't frightened or flustered, but... joyful throbbing.

If this is love...

Lingxi put her arms around Nan Zhi's neck and responded softly.

Nan Zhi's body trembled slightly, and then deepened the kiss, hugging Ling Xi as if wishing to become one.

Lingxi's breathing was fast and hot, and a sigh suddenly flashed in her gradually whitening mind, and she didn't know who was whispering.

—I don’t know what to do.
