Bamboo forest leaves swaying, sky light and cloud shadows.
Gu Peijiu followed the girl and walked forward.
She had the face of Xia Wuyin, wearing a snow-white gauze and cloth boots, carrying a basket on her back, and a bare bone flute stuck in her waist, the bone flute was extremely smooth.
"The princess is not here these days." The man walked in front, as if talking to himself, "The princess' mushroom soup is the best... Ha, but it doesn't matter."
She turned her head and smiled at Gu Peijiu, "My skills are not bad."
Gu Peijiu's footsteps paused slightly, and her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
After the girl finished speaking, she turned her head and continued to walk forward with brisk steps, "But you don't seem to be able to eat... If you don't speak, the little girl from Yundu can't talk to me even after being rescued, alas, when the princess is away, It's really lonely as snow."
Gu Peijiu was silent.
It seemed that she was used to it. The speaker didn't care about her silence. After complaining to herself, she continued to walk leisurely. The green and tender bamboo shoots are thrown into the basket.
Until sunset on the west mountain, the splendid Zhuxia dyed the clouds in the sky red, the girl looked at the mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the basket, smiled and rolled her eyes, "Well... it's almost there, go back."
… Who are you
The inner doubts gathered more and more, but on the face, there was only silence all the way.
Following the girl, Gu Peijiu came to a small bamboo hut.
The wooden fence is surrounded by a circle, purple morning glory climbs up, the soft sun shines down, there are high bamboo shelves outside the bamboo house, lingering vines climb up, peppers and some other small crops Exudes vitality. Poetic and picturesque, full of greenery.
Inside the fence, the little girl in red pursed her lips, and her black hair was softly draped over her shoulders. She stood barefoot on the bluestone slab outside the bamboo house, her long and narrow eyebrows fixed on the girl with the basket on her back. Under his red sleeves, he clenched his hands slightly.
"Yo? Why didn't you go in?"
Just as the girl opened the fence gate, the bare-footed little girl in red was like a red butterfly, jumped off the bluestone, ran all the way to the girl, hugged her waist, and snuggled her head in her arms. Willing to let go.
"… "
Gu Peijiu watched from behind, tilted his head slightly, there was no turbulence in his black pupils, this scene...
It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it.
It was the same before.
She had never dreamed before and had no superfluous feelings.
But since meeting Xia Wuyin.
It seems that something is slowly starting to wake up.
She seems to have a very distant memory, but the memory is vague, but there is one person that will always be clear.
That child named Xia Wuyin.
In all dreams, in all familiar memories, that very important person will have Xia Wuyin's face.
As if someone was reminding her of something, she did it deliberately.
At first, she thought that Xia Wuyin had given her some psychedelic drugs. She had been alert, puzzled, and confused.
But when that child is by her side...
Gu Peijiu closed her eyes, opened them again, and stared at the back of the girl in front of her, her black eyes slowly deepened.
No medicine.
It's her, it's going to get out of control.
I don't want that child to hide anything from me, I want her to trust me completely, I want to see her, I want to be gentle to her, I want to love her.
There is even a deeper... something that shouldn't be there, permeating the heart.
…want her.
I really want to.
"Didn't I tell you to wait inside?"
The girl chuckled, the clouds were shining brightly, the grapes hidden in the green leaves were like purple jade, she leaned over and touched the head of the little girl in red, "Am I taking you in?"
The little girl raised her head, did not speak, just glanced at her, and finally grabbed the corner of her sleeve, and looked at Gu Peijiu who was behind her with her long and narrow eyes, her dark eyes were full of hostility.
-this is mine.
Those bright eyes that reflect the light, clearly written with a clear possessiveness.
Gu Peijiu's eyes darkened, and her eyes slid a little coldly when she looked at the little girl.
Just as the girl was about to go in with the bamboo basket on her back and the girl's hand, the bamboo door opened by itself.
Chu Shi's hair was tied up high, her light brown almond eyes were bright, she was wearing delicate silver armor, and her tight clothes outlined a well-proportioned waistline and chest. She hugged her shoulders and leaned in front of the door frame, her lips holding an indifferent smile. .
The girl was slightly taken aback, "Princess? When did you come back?"
Chu Shi's voice was shallow, "I heard that you are back, so I will come."
Princess
Did she miss the princess? And this person... is called Wushuang
Gu Peijiu paused for a while, and then saw that the little girl in red was pinching the corner of the girl's clothes, her red sleeves lining her snow-white wrists, and her tightly pinched fingers.
Pale phalanx.
Very hard.
The girl didn't feel that something was wrong, she said with a smile: "I'll introduce you to a little girl, this is the child I brought back from Yundu, and I don't have a name yet..."
"Why?" Chu Shi suddenly interrupted her.
The girl called Wushuang paused for a moment, then smiled, "If you want to go, go there, where do you have time to think about this and that?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, and this one behind me..."
"I said, I didn't ask you to change my life." Chu Shi's voice was cold and cold, but his fists were clenched. "Even if you don't change my life, I can still be king."
A little bit suffocating.
"… will die prematurely."
The girl said softly.
Chu Shi said: "It doesn't matter."
The girl named Wushuang smiled, and the cat's eyes had a hint of sneering: "I can't bear it."
The little girl in red looked at Chu Shi, her eyes slightly cold.
"Don't give me nonsense, have you ever thought about what it means to change your life against the sky?" Chu Shi took a deep breath, but still felt the stagnation in his chest, "...Why is Yundu so high, everyone knows the destiny? Yundu, but no one dares to touch the book of fate in Yundu, Xia Wushuang, have you ever thought—"
"I thought about it."
"Have you ever thought you'd do that?! What benefit did my uncle give you!? A fief or a title?! Tell me, I can do anything—"
"Princess!"
"… I can give it to you." Chu Shi said.
"… "
Chu Shi and Xia Wushuang looked at each other for a long time.
After a long time, Chu Shi looked away slightly and whispered, "Wushuang, those things... are not worth it."
It's not worth doing that.
Gu Peijiu watched silently from behind. She was like a spectator who had strayed into the past. She was obviously someone from outside her body, and she didn't even wear the right clothes, but these people seemed to be selectively invisible, taking her as what she thought. that person.
Act out a story that has already happened.
"Princess, my uncle has never promised me anything."
"It's just that I once had a wish."
The girl's dark eyes shimmered, she stared at Chu Shi, with a small smile on her lips, her voice was slow, "In those years when I didn't know who I was..."
Chu Shi's fists were slightly clenched, her light brown almond eyes were fixed with light, and after a while, she closed her eyes.
A girl's soft voice came from her ears.
"Live simple and wish simple."
Chu Yi closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly, "...don't talk about it."
Xia Wushuang's voice was shallow, "I only look forward to my lifetime."
"You can see the princess and rule the world."
= =
The scene in front of Gu Peijiu's eyes suddenly distorted.
Bamboo houses, girls with baskets, princesses in war clothes, little girls in red, wooden fences, grape racks, all disappeared.
It's like an alien being expelled from this world.
The whole era is blank.
She stood in the blank of the sky, and then slowly, a faint light appeared, and the broken pieces of blood clothing emerged, and the blank world was gradually eroded by the rich blood color.
"...you'll never get what you want."
Fragment's voice was distorted and hideous, "In her heart, she will always be another person."
Gu Peijiu didn't speak, the yellow talisman appeared in his hand, and then shot out, violently turning the fragments into smoke, and the blood in the sky suddenly faded.
Then, the sky is bright.
-I do not mind.
"Baimeng Cave." Gu Peijiu murmured, "It's hard to wake up from a big dream."
The Tianzhuling in his hand began to tremble slowly. At first, it was a thin trembling, and then slowly, faster and faster, the red silk pulled away, and the golden light flickered, more and more.
The empty space began to distort, and the snow-white illusion was like snow that had been kicked off, falling down little by little. Countless red strands scattered in all directions, searching around following the breath of people.
The people who were brought to Baimeng Cave before are still there.
Picking up the questioning sword, Ye Ze looked dazed.
Chang Nian, who was immersed in the illusion, and Li Liu, who was unconscious in the corner.
Chu Yi, who was silent for a long time in front of the Gate of Backtracking.
Gu Peijiu paused slightly and was a little surprised to see Chu Yi.
But the thin red thread that was pulling the cocoon from the cocoon still entangled these people one by one.
The girl in Danfeng's plain clothes raised her head slightly, her skin was as white as the first snow of the winter solstice, and her lips were also a light red, she said softly.
It's hard to wake up from a big dream.
"But after all, it's time to wake up."
The blazing golden thunder light suddenly burst from the Tianzhu Ling!
"boom-"
The explosion-like waves spread out! The illusion collapsed under the thunder light, and the thin red threads instantly turned into red silk to wrap the person. One second before the collapse of the white dream cave space, the cave burst out!
The figure keeps falling, as if it will fall into the endless void, and it will never end.
Before the last illusion was broken, Gu Peijiu raised his head, and then his pupils shrank slightly!
The shattered illusion continued to fall with her, and in the blurry image, a young girl called Wushuang sat on the bluestone slab, holding a bone flute in her hand, holding her chin, and calling her with a smile on her eyebrows, "Hey, ah Nine…”
The girl's figure was completely broken.
Gone away.
Then, a woman in a black cloak flashed by. In Gu Peijiu's shrunken pupils, she gently pulled away her dark veil.
A face identical to herself was revealed, and her dark eyes stared at her quietly.
The second before the white dream cave was broken.
The woman spoke up.
can not hear.
But the mouth shape is probably-
The gravel shattered together with the illusion, and the rumbling sound of Baimeng Cave was accompanied by the painful roar of the Jiaolong, annihilating her voice.
Gu Peijiu murmured and repeated the woman's words: "Blooming flowers... two lives?"
- Between the Buddhas and Demons of life.
