Bai Xi looked at the lantern in front of the door, and after a long silence, he picked it up slowly, letting the lantern burn in front of him.
When Ji Qingzhou returned to the room, he saw Chu Cheng holding a dragon-shaped lantern in his hand. Seeing him enter the room, he raised the lantern a little higher and asked him, "Do you like it?"
Ji Qingzhou naturally likes it, "I wanted to buy a dragon-shaped one when I came here, but they were all sold out, so Baixi gave me a fox-shaped one."
"That's it."
Ji Qingzhou said "um", pointed to the lantern in his hand and asked him, "Is it for me?"
"Do you want to?"
Ji Qingzhou nodded, his eyes sparkling.
Chu Cheng looked at him, and slowly handed out the lantern.
Ji Qingzhou held the lantern, his eyes were full of smiles, he looked at the lantern, Chu Cheng looked at him, the lantern illuminated his face, and he embellished Chu Cheng's heart.
It's time, Chu Cheng thought, they still have other places to go, they shouldn't stay here for too long, they should help Bai Jing solve the trouble as soon as possible, and leave as soon as possible.
The next morning, Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou had dinner together, and then left with Bai Jing. Before leaving, he asked Ji Qingzhou, "Do you want to go somewhere else?"
"Think." Ji Qingzhou replied to him, he had been playing with Baixi in Luoshui for a long time, and he was a little bored.
"When I come back, let's leave." Chu Cheng said.
"Okay." Ji Qingzhou smiled with his eyes bent.
Chu Cheng pinched his face, turned and went out the door.
It was rare for Ji Qingzhou not to go out. While practicing in the house, he waited for him to come back, but he waited for a long time until sunset, but he did not see Chu Cheng. He looked at the moon hanging high at an unknown time, and heard Baixi remind him that it was time to eat.
Ji Qingzhou waited for a whole day, but Chu Cheng didn't come back. Bai Xi advised him, "I should be back tomorrow."
Ji Qingzhou nodded, went back to his room and fell asleep.
He looked at the lantern hanging by the bed, reached out to touch it, and said silently in his heart: You need to come back soon.
This was the first time he fell asleep by himself after his transformation.
Bai Jing came back three days later. He was injured, not seriously, but Ji Qingzhou and Bai Xi vaguely felt ominous.
"Where's Chu Cheng?" Ji Qingzhou asked him.
"He's back home." Bai Jing said, "That Shangxian has fallen into a demon, and he desperately wants to die with him. Chu Cheng is a beast, so he won't die naturally, but he was injured and fell into a coma. His elder brother figured out that he has this It happened once, so I took him back after he was unconscious."
Ji Qingzhou was a little surprised, "Then how do I find him? You take me there?"
Bai Jing shook his head, "I don't know where his home is. Even if I knew, I wouldn't go. I am a monster in the mortal world, and he is a descendant of an ancient beast. We met in the mortal world. I only know that he is a dragon." , I don’t know where his home is and how to get there.”
Ji Qingzhou froze for a moment, blinked slightly, and didn't speak.
Bai Jing comforted him, "Don't worry, when he wakes up, he will come to you."
"But when will he wake up?"
This Bai Jing didn't know that Chu Cheng slept for a hundred years last time, who knows when he will wake up this time.
"I will take care of you." Bai Jing said, "He is my friend, and this time he was injured again to help me. I will take care of you."
Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou looked up at him, and suddenly thought of what Chu Cheng said to him "I will protect you" the day he just stepped into the mortal world, but now, he is gone.
"I don't need your care." Ji Qingzhou said softly.
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ji Qingzhou, Ji Qingzhou sat quietly and silently, for a long time, he got up, returned to the room, and began to practice. He always felt that his cultivation was too slow, so his cultivation level was not high, and he couldn't get rid of demons with Chu Cheng, and he couldn't grow his heart. He wanted to cultivate faster, he thought, maybe Chu Cheng is so powerful. , woke up soon.
But he waited day after day, but Chu Cheng never showed up.
Ji Qingzhou looked at the bamboo forest outside the house, and suddenly one day, he said to Bai Jing, "I'm leaving."
Bai Jing was puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back." Ji Qingzhou said, "Go back to the place where I grew up."
He didn't want to wait here any longer. He and Chu Cheng agreed at the time that when he came back, they would leave here and go to other places to play. He didn't want to stay here anymore. There is nothing here, only disappointment day after day, he wants to go back, back to the place where he grew up, back to that yard, at least, there is still Chu Cheng's breath there.
Bai Jing persuaded him a few words, but Ji Qingzhou was very persistent, Bai Jing couldn't help it, so he had to say, "Then I'll take you back."
Ji Qingzhou didn't refute him, he said, "OK."
Knowing that he was going to leave, Baixi finally took him to the town for a day, but it was a pity that Ji Qingzhou was no longer in the mood to play, and looked indifferent to everything, so Baixi had to take him to the theater, thinking Let him be a little more lively. However, he didn't choose a good day, and what was staged on the stage was the scene of parting life and death between the scholar and the lady.
Looking at it, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Bai Xi quickly brought him out, blaming him for why he was singing this play today.
He took Ji Qingzhou to swim in the river by boat. Ji Qingzhou looked at the fish in the river, but was too lazy to reach out to tease them.
It was getting dark, and Baixi took him back. When he got close to the bamboo forest, Baixi asked him, "Do you have to go?"
Ji Qingzhou said "hmm".
"You can stay and wait for him."
"No need." Ji Qingzhou said.
Bai Xi looked at him, opened and closed his mouth, closed and opened again, and finally said, "I like you."
Ji Qingzhou looked up at him. Under the moonlight, his eyes were very clean, pure and without any impurities. He asked, "What is liking?"
He remembered that he had asked this question before. At that time, Chu Cheng said that when he got serious, he would naturally understand. However, until now, he still has no heart.
Bai Xi looked at his calm eyes without any emotion, felt her own mood, and answered him, "I like to be with him all the time, I want to do everything with him, I want to make him happy, I want to Let him not leave me. I feel bad when I think that he will leave, I feel sad when I think that I may never see him again, I am afraid that he will leave, and I am even more afraid that he will forget me."
Ji Qingzhou listened quietly, and a person appeared in his mind. He was surprised to find that he seemed to know what was uncomfortable and sad. He reached out and pressed his chest, and seemed to feel something beating faintly. He said softly, "Then I should like him."
He felt that he seemed to have a heart.
Listening to his words, Bai Xi didn't say anything, but silently lowered her eyes.
That day, Ji Qingzhou felt his heartbeat and fell asleep. He dreamed of Chu Cheng, he ran towards him, and told him in surprise, "I have a heart."
He saw Chu Cheng smiled and said to him, "Then wait for me, I will find you soon."
Ji Qingzhou nodded, and then he felt the sunlight shining on his eyes, and it was dawn.
Ji Qingzhou and Bai Jing left, and they turned back along the way they came before, and returned to the city where Ji Qingzhou first entered the world. Bai Jing asked him, "Can you find where you grew up? Chu Cheng must have cast a spell, I can't see it."
"I can." Ji Qingzhou said.
His body is there, even if he can't see it, he can still feel it. He walked all the way until he came to a wall.
Ji Qingzhou looked at Bai Jing and said to him, "See you next time."
"I'm in this city. If something happens, you shout my name, and I will appear."
"Okay, thank you."
He looked at the wall in front of him, jumped into the wall, and the scenery inside the wall was still the same, no different from when he left. Ji Qingzhou felt the same breath as him, which belonged to Chu Cheng. He approached his body, reached out and touched the trunk in front of him, and slowly returned to the tree.
Bai Jing looked at the wall in front of him, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but found that he couldn't touch it. He wanted to try if he could go in, but no matter how much he jumped, he was still outside the wall. Only then did he finally let go of his heart. This should be the barrier set up by Chu Cheng. The little apricot tree belonged to the creatures inside the wall, so he could go back, but he wasn't, so he couldn't get in. In this way, there is no other monster that can hurt Ji Qingzhou.
Bai Jing chose a street not far from here to live, thinking that he could take better care of Ji Qingzhou. But Ji Qingzhou never came out again, one day or two days, one month, two months, one year or two years.
When Chu Cheng woke up from the coma, he found himself lying on the bed at home. He sat up, the door opened, his second brother came in, saw that he was awake, and asked, "How do you feel?"
"It's okay." Chu Cheng looked at him, "Why am I here?"
"You were injured and fell into a coma. I figured out that you had such a disaster before, so I picked you up to recuperate. Otherwise, if you stay in the mortal world, how could you recover so quickly?"
Chu Cheng nodded, but suddenly thought of something, and asked him, "How many days have I been in a coma?"
"Not much, just seven days."
"Seven days!" Chu Cheng was shocked, one day in the sky and one year on the ground, that is to say, he and Ji Qingzhou have been separated for seven years.
"I have something to go to the mortal world." Chu Cheng lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Chu Zhe watched his movements and asked him, "Are you going to see that little apricot tree?"
"you know?"
"Not only do I know, I've seen it before." Chu Zhe sat down calmly, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Have you met him?" Chu Cheng sat down opposite him, "When?"
"Of course it was when you were unconscious. You took so many treasures and left. Now you are here, but those treasures are not here. Naturally, I have to keep them for you."
Chu Zhe said, thinking of that night. At that time, he searched for Chu Cheng's aura and found the place where he hid the treasure. Of course, Chu Cheng's tricks of concealment couldn't work for him, and the barrier he set up couldn't stop him, but he entered the barrier. Looking at the wall, he saw a small apricot tree in front of him, and asked him defensively, "Who are you?"
There was Chu Cheng's aura on that apricot tree, Chu Zhe looked at him, saw his past at a glance, and understood why he was here. Three years have passed, and the cultivation base of this apricot tree has increased a lot. It has already cultivated a fairy bone, and becoming a fairy is only a matter of time.
"I'm Chu Cheng's brother." He said.
Ji Qingzhou saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to Chu Cheng's, and his breath was also somewhat similar, so he asked, "Is he okay now?"
