Time is leisurely.
Danfeng's life was simple and bright, and three years passed by at his fingertips.
As she grew older, Xia Ge became more and more feminine. After being pointed at by countless people, she also felt that this was not good, so she simply went down the mountain and bought a bunch of rouge gouache for makeup.
Xia Ge is still very confident in her makeup skills.
Although everyone was surprised that the girlish Xia Xiaozhangling had turned into a rough and rough man overnight, but taking into account the sadness that Xia Xiaozhangling was often regarded as a woman, everyone still knew it. , very considerately pretended not to know that he changed his face, and even praised her for being very manly.
Xia Ge's heart is still very complicated for these numerous praises like "majestic", "mighty" and "rough".
… Well, in a sense, it was also a success.
However, one day, the rough man Xia forgot to take off her makeup, and was picked up on the spot when she sneaked to the big sister's place to sleep.
Xia Ge, who had transformed himself into a rough man, showed an innocent smile to the big sister: "..."
Gu Peijiu, who mistakenly thought the flower thief came in and almost pinched him to death: "..."
Gu Peijiu stared at Xia Ge's face with special effects for a long time.
Xia Ge was a little embarrassed to see: "Hey, isn't it good?"
Gu Peijiu: "..."
Just so good.
She poured her a basin of water expressionlessly: "wash it clean."
Xia Ge Baba's look: "... huh, isn't it good?"
System: "..." It's good, it should be better to change the face.
Gu Peijiu: "Either go back or wash up."
Xia Ge was aggrieved and washed clean, but when she turned around, she saw Gu Peijiu holding the little puppet she just took down, and the wood carving knife was finely carved on it. Put it aside, "Sleep."
"What is Senior Sister doing, let me see."
Xia Ge is reluctant.
Gu Peijiu pressed her head down.
"Sleep."
"… "
The next day, when Xia Ge put on the puppet and took a self-portrait by the water, she found something different.
The face is still the same face, but it doesn't look so squeamish. The fair face seems to have been added with a dark filter, and the cheeks are not so soft. It looks a little more angular and heroic.
At least you won't be seen as a girl at a glance.
Xia Ge secretly took off the clothes of the puppet from his waist, and saw another formation engraved behind the puppet, next to the spirit protection formation.
[Illusionary Array]: A formation that uses illusions to change the appearance.
Xia Ge: "Wonderful..."
Still smart, Mrs.
system:"… "
As for Mao Qing, who went to visit relatives in the south, it was not as short as a few months as she said, nor as long as more than ten years. She came back after two years of going out, and since then she has a strange bell on her waist.
Strange to say, every time Xia Ge's spiritual power made a breakthrough, the bell would ring.
"Why does it ring?"
Xia Ge once asked Mao Qing.
Mao Qing held her chin and looked at her: "As soon as someone breaks through, the bell will ring."
"Hey? Does everyone's breakthrough sound? Then doesn't it sound every day?"
Mao Qing: "Of course not."
She blinked: "It doesn't make a sound if it looks ugly."
Xia Ge: "I remember you said a few days ago that you had a breakthrough."
The bell didn't ring.
Mao Qing's face did not change: "You remembered it wrong."
Xia Ge: "… "
She glanced.
[King the Demon Bell]: A bell that announces good news when someone breaks through.
"…it's amazing."
"The bell is not magical." Mao Qing shook her head, covered her lips with her fingers and looked at her with a slight smile on her brows, "I think the magic is fate."
There seemed to be an unusual smell in the air.
Xia Ge touched her forehead: "Are you fooled by the poisonous gas in the south?"
Mao Qing: "..."
Xia Ge thought that the monkey who threw bananas at the beast summit was also very magical, at least the bananas could be eaten.
It's no more magical than fate.
Three years are neither long nor short.
After all, it was enough for Ye Ze to go from a young Jianfeng boy with nothing, through many hardships, as written in the book, through Jianfeng Asking Spirit, to become a candidate disciple after Chu Yao.
In the past three years, Xia Ge never stepped into Jianfeng again.
Closing the book, Xia Ge hummed a tune and went to the study to find Gu Peiju. Halfway through, he suddenly wanted to go around and take a look at the Suxi Dan Pavilion.
Not because of anything else.
Just because spring has come, many new peach blossoms may be blooming on the upstream side.
And many peach blossoms were planted by Xia Ge himself.
Speaking of this kind of peach blossom, there is another origin that has to be said.
Three years later, the once skinny little girl has a long body. For a while, because the bones were moving too fast, the muscles couldn't keep up with the speed of the bones. , but there are more things that hurt more than that, and it doesn't hurt much when you think about it.
But the big sister gave her a long vacation, let her take care of herself in the house, and ordered tourmaline to cook bird's nest for her to replenish her body.
Xia Ge squatted in the house and couldn't survive. He didn't like eating bird's nest. Even if his legs hurt, he always wanted to run out and play. After Gu Peijiu pulled people out of the big bird's nest on Beast Peak for the third time—
Xia Ge hid the bird eggs behind him and pretended to be stupid: "This bird's nest is super comfortable, hahaha, it's fun to squat in it."
This is the nest of the beast peak magic bird, usually go out to forage during the day and come back at night.
If the magic bird finds out that someone is stealing eggs...
Gu Peijiu stared at her with dark eyes and did not speak.
Being stared at with a guilty conscience, Xia Ge closed his eyes and quietly offered the eggs behind him for a while, cheeky: "I just think I need to add some protein..."
"The bones will be crooked." Gu Peijiu said suddenly.
Xia Ge: "… "
She slowly took the bird's egg from Xia Singer: "The newly grown bones are very soft, if they run around, they will grow crooked."
Xia Ge: "… "
She doesn't read much, don't lie to her.
Xia Ge Baba looked at the bird egg: "That..."
In the wind, there are birds chirping.
But I saw the girl turn her back, "Come up."
Xia Ge was still thinking about her bird eggs, but didn't react: "Huh?"
Gu Peijiu looked sideways at her.
Xia Ge suddenly reacted, Big Sister is going to…
"I'll carry you back."
She rubbed her hands and tossed the eggs behind her head, "Senior sister... Then I'll come up."
The wind was gentle that day.
Xia Ge wrapped her arms around the neck of Senior Sister, and put her right ear on her back, the light sandalwood incense lingering on the tip of her nose.
Gu Peijiu didn't go to work on Danfeng's affairs after carrying the person back. That night, Xia Ge ate the bird eggs baked by Senior Sister for the first time.
good smell.
The broken eggshells are sprinkled with cumin and other sauces, which are fragrant and tasty.
Xia Ge's greedy tongue was about to fall out.
"Is there a place you want to go?"
The eggs of the Beast Peak Demon Bird are very large, and one is enough for Xia Ge to fill her stomach. Just as she was nibbling on, Gu Peijiu suddenly spoke up.
"Well?"
The night was light, the bonfire beside the creek was swaying, and the cracked branches made a sound of shattering. The girl in Danfeng plain clothes looked up at her, her dark eyes following the swaying bonfire.
Gu Peijiu added firewood and patiently asked again, "Is there any place you want to go?"
"No." Xia Ge gnawed at the bird's egg and looked at her aggrievedly: "The bones will be crooked."
Gu Peijiu: "..."
"...I'll carry you."
Xia Ge's eyes lit up, but then darkened again. She finished eating the egg yolk and felt a little sad: "I don't know where to go, and I don't know where to have fun."
Gu Peijiu added more firewood, her black eyes dimmed, and said, "I know a place."
Xia Ge looked at her.
Gu Peijiu said lightly, "Yundu, Taohuawu."
The next day, Gu Peijiu took her to Yundu with Tianzhuling.
The red Tianzhuling flashed with golden thunder light, rolling wind and thunder, and led the two of them all the way to this desolate island hidden in the clouds.
It was an island that truly belonged to the sky. Amidst the tumbling clouds and mist, Manshan Peach Blossoms, protected by the barrier, was on a separate island, fascinated by Xia Ge's eyes.
The breeze blows, the peach garden is picturesque, the pink peach petals are flying, and the romance is scattered all over the place.
Almost at a glance, Xia Ge fell in love with this place.
The peach blossoms were flying, Xia Ge hugged Gu Peijiu's neck and looked at the ground covered with peach petals and filled with clouds and mist. After a few days of suffocation, she just wanted to roll on the ground with excitement.
"Wow... It's actually in the sky! I thought about it before, but I didn't expect that there really is an island in the sky! Where did Senior Sister find this place?"
Gu Peijiu: "In a dream."
Xia Ge: "… "
After a long while, Xia Ge sneered: "Senior sister really knows how to joke hahaha."
Gu Peijiu did not let her down, but still carried her on his back, stepping on the peach blossoms all the way. She didn't answer Xia Ge's words.
because.
It is indeed a dream.
After the dream about Yundu passed, Gu Peijiu took the time to find Yundu, but she did not expect that she would find it.
It's just that Yundu today is no longer as grand as the dream, and some are just decayed, ruined, and full of evil ghosts, and it has long since become a dead city.
The only vibrant place is this Taoyuan protected by the barrier.
The enchantment protects against evil spirits, but it does not protect against people. Gu Peijiu came in without wasting any strength.
"It's such a nice place." Xia Ge said, "I really feel better when I look at the flowers."
The breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of peach blossoms was light, entwining the sandalwood on the sister's body.
For some reason, Xia Ge suddenly felt very happy.
She wrapped her arms around Gu Peijiu's neck and put her head on her back, her voice muffled, "Senior sister, you are so kind."
The sound was as light as a mosquito, as if the wind could blow it away.
Gu Peijiu didn't say a word, but the breeze was blowing, sweetly warming her heart.
After a pause, Xia Ge suddenly said excitedly: "Senior sister, I want to grow peach blossoms in Danfeng!"
Gu Peijiu said, "Yes."
Xia Ge was excited for a while, and then returned to reality. She wondered, "But... Yundu, where is this place?"
She felt a little familiar, maybe she had seen the word Yundu in a book, but it was a long time ago and she couldn't remember it.
"It is said that Yundu was once the place where the gods gathered." Gu Peijiu said, "However, it's just a legend."
"Then this was also the place where the gods were once?"
Xia Ge asked with a smile.
Gu Peijiu said, "Maybe."
As the two walked, Xia Ge said "hey", "Wait a minute!"
Gu Peijiu also noticed something was wrong, stopped, and stared at the huge peach tree not far away.
This tree is surrounded by five people, with strong branches, and the peach blossoms are the most prosperous. It is surrounded by a circle of wooden fences, but this is not what surprised Xia Ge the most. What surprised her is that inside the fence , there are two small mahogany houses.
Gu Peijiu walked over with her back.
"what is that?"
The wooden house is very small and exquisite, only about four or five feet in length and width. It is nestled under a peach tree. When I approached it, I found that it was not so much a "house" as it was two small temples.
The two small temples are very delicately portrayed, and the wooden walls are also carefully carved with patterns that Xia Ge does not know very well.
The two small temples are very close, but if you look closely, you will find that their patterns are not the same. Moreover, the most important plaques in the middle of the temples are clearly empty, and there is not a word on them.
Before Xia Ge was ready to scan it with the system, he heard Gu Peiju say, "It's a godsend."
"...God mourning?" Xia Ge was at a loss.
Gu Peijiu looked at it and affirmed, "Well, God is mourning."
"There used to be a legend." Gu Peijiu looked at the two small temples, "Gods who feel their own death will set a mourning in their hometown."
Xia Ge understood: "It's... the equivalent of mortals preparing coffins for themselves?"
Gu Peijiu nodded: "Yes."
"When the god dies, the soul returns to the god's mourning, and the god's real name will appear on the plaque of the god's mourning, as the last proof that he has survived in the world."
Xia Ge subconsciously looked at the empty god mourning on the plaque: "..."
She was a little uncertain: "Then... this, is it not yet...?"
If the master was still there, wouldn't they have broken into someone's house
"Gods who don't feel the day of their death will not set a mourning for themselves." Gu Peijiu said.
Looking at the era of these two gods mourning, it should be very long ago, and the day of death should have long passed.
In other words, no matter what the gods are, they should be gone.
Xia Ge thought about it too. Except for the neuropathy, no one would make a good coffin for him.
"Then why is there no name on it?"
Gu Peijiu said, "Maybe before the day of his death, he couldn't find his way home."
Xia Ge: "… "
