Ling Qingxiao had never thought about this direction before, but now after breaking through the layer of window paper, it was as if the clouds had broken through the moon, and he was suddenly enlightened.
Yes, many things have already been traced.
When he came to the Middle Ages, when he saw hundreds of flowers blooming here and Shinto prosperous, Ling Qingxiao's first reaction was not to learn secret techniques, but to worry about whether Luo Han would stay here and not want to go back. Yesterday, Luo Han went up the mountain to collect herbs. When he woke up, he found that Luo Han was not there, and his heart suddenly became half cold.
In fact, Luo Han will not be in danger here, even friends need private space. When they were in Daming City, Ye Zinan and Zou Jibai were also his teammates, and the environment in Daming City was far more dangerous than in the Middle Ages, but when Ye Zinan and Zou Jibai went out alone, Ling Qingxiao felt that it was normal.
Luo Han is right, there will always be a day when she can face everything independently and no longer need his company.
Luo Han was not used to it when he first arrived, he didn't know the way, he didn't know how to cultivate, and he didn't know the common sense of human relationships, so he would be with Ling Qingxiao wherever he went. The two figures are inseparable, always bound together. Now Luo Han is slowly growing up and gradually separated from the bond between the two, but this time, it was Ling Qingxiao's turn to get used to it.
This is not the emotion a normal friend should have. If it's a friend, why would you feel reluctant to see your best friend grow up? Ling Qingxiao didn't know how to deal with this inexplicable mood until this morning, when he saw a man showing hospitality to Luo Han, he was suddenly displeased, and when he heard the leader said that they were a family, he was overjoyed. Such an obvious change finally made Ling Qingxiao happy. Realize that some things have turned sour.
His feelings for Luo Han have long gone beyond the boundaries of friends. This is the oldest, most primitive, and most instinctive, the love between men and women.
When Ling Qingxiao wanted to understand this, he couldn't help but be in a trance, how could he even have feelings for men and women? He thought that he would never have feelings, friends, parents, and relatives in his life. He would die alone and die alone.
Ling Qingxiao was indeed responsible for Luo Han at the beginning. She cured his wounds with medicine, although it was not what he wanted, but saving is saving, and he should repay Luo Han. Later, they went to Biyun Secret Realm together, went back to Zhongshan Mountain together, and went to Xier Mihai together. He and Luo Han experienced more and more things together, and the distance became closer and closer. She gradually became his friend, his only friend.
However, she was his only fulcrum, and he was only one of Luo Han's many friends. On the flying boat leading to the Mihai of Xi'er, Ling Qingxiao saw Luo Han and Zou Jibai joking, as if seeing the nightmare repeating itself again. His temperament is not likable enough, his language is not interesting enough, he has always known that he is not popular with the crowd, but it doesn't matter how others see him or treat him, Luo Han is not.
Because she was his only compensation for a thousand years after he was arbitrarily manipulated by God. Ling Qingxiao gradually developed an exclusive desire for Luo Han. At that time, he thought that it was because his growth environment was not normal, and his emotional model was not normal. He didn't grow up in a stable environment of love and trust, so he's not as comfortable with relationships and building a healthy social network as other kids with two parents and a happy family. His need for intimacy is actually pathological.
But then one thing after another proved that this is not friendship, at least now, not just friendship.
It was the first time that Ling Qingxiao encountered such a thing, and she didn't know how to deal with it. In his past life, he had never had a similar experience. Ling Qingxiao could not find a model reference. Among the books he had read, there seemed to be no books devoted to dealing with the relationship between men and women. Even Ling Qingxiao felt that Luo Han might not be a man or a woman for him.
Most likely, this is his unilateral delusion.
It was the first time in his life that he had a clear desire to own something. He used to passively own and compete passively. He drew a wall for himself and lived alone in his own small world. As long as others didn't come to offend his domain, he didn't care what happened outside. No matter whether Ling Zhongyu wants to compete for the head of the family or for fame and fortune, no matter who his parents want to support, no matter who the family assets end up with, Ling Qingxiao doesn't care.
But this time, it was the only time he actively wanted to fight for something. However, the more he cared about it, the more afraid he became, Ling Qingxiao couldn't help but worry about Luo Han's thoughts.
Ling Qingxiao couldn't help but think, Luo Han is only eighteen this year, no, nineteen, but he is already a thousand years old. A hundred times the gap, isn't it very dirty for him to give birth to such a thought about a cub? If Luo Han knew his thoughts, what would he think of him
In fact, for Ling Qingxiao himself, he didn't care much about the age gap. Immortals were all older, and it was common for men to be older than women and women to be older than men when they formed a Taoist partner. There is also a 100,000-year age gap between him and Ye Zinan, but when they talk, they don't take age seriously, they get along like people of their age.
He didn't care, but on Luo Han's body, Ling Qingxiao didn't dare to gamble. Maybe when Luo Han stayed in the world of immortals for hundreds of years, and was used to the age gap of tens of thousands or even tens of millions of years between immortal couples, she would not mind age. Now Luo Han's age base is small, so the age difference of 1,000 years looks very scary. After tens of thousands of years, both of them will become tens of thousands of people, and a thousand years will no longer be a gap.
Ling Qingxiao is a very patient person. Now that she doesn't accept it, he can wait. No matter the millennium or ten thousand years, he can wait for her until the day when Luo Han can accept the age difference. Although it was a very contemptible thing for him to have delusions of a nineteen-year-old cub at the age of a thousand, but in fact, this was not a substantial obstacle.
What he was really afraid of was that Luo Han would not accept his feelings.
Ling Qingxiao didn't even expect Luo Han to return the same feelings, as long as she was willing to accept it, it was enough.
This is Ling Qingxiao's nightmare, he hides his deepest fear. All other things, cultivation, swordsmanship, four arts, reading... He can work hard, but he will be liked if he doesn't know what he can do.
Ling Qingxiao regarded herself as herself, and tried to give a fair evaluation - a boring personality, can't speak, a rigid life, no fun, and maybe an old age. As for Luo Han, he is young and lively, smart and brave. He is the smallest deity in the Six Realms in terms of identity, and a natural illuminator in temperament. Whether it is elders like Gu Xingxingjun and the leader, or peers like Zou Jibai and Wulang, they all like it. approach her.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Qingxiao went from sudden realization, to shame, to worrying about gains and losses, twists and turns, ups and downs, very rich. Luo Han didn't know that the expression of the person in front of her was calm, and her inner drama had fluctuated so much. She sincerely persuaded Ling Qingxiao: "It's not good for you to trust people too easily. In the future, you must not easily expose your life gate to others."
After Luo Han finished speaking, he found that Ling Qingxiao had no response. Luo Han was surprised, stretched out his hand, and tentatively shook it in front of Ling Qingxiao.
Ling Qingxiao focused her eyes and subconsciously held Luo Han's wrist. Because they lived together for this period of time, the two of them had become accustomed to this level of physical contact, but this time Ling Qingxiao didn't know what was going on. He just held Luo Han's wrist, and suddenly it was hot, and he quickly released it.
Luo Han didn't care about this. Ling Qingxiao didn't like to have physical contact with others. She had long been surprised by it, but she was surprised that Ling Qingxiao was frequently distracted. It is common for her to be in a daze, but for Ling Qingxiao, such a waste of time and low efficiency is absolutely impossible. Luo Han was curious and asked, "What were you thinking about just now? You've been distracted recently, why on earth?"
Ling Qingxiao looked at Luo Han's clear and trusting eyes, it was hard to tell. He gave birth to a burst of contempt for himself, and it was disgusting that he even gave birth to such a thought to the cub.
Ling Qingxiao, with shame and some secret thoughts, tentatively said: "I'm thinking about what we agreed on. In fact, paying off debts with work is not perfect. The essence of Bodhi is invaluable, and its value is immeasurable. But it is based on time, and there are no other restrictions except for the number of years. This is not rigorous, not to mention, it does not necessarily have to be a thousand years."
Luo Han heard the alarm bell ringing in her heart, and she said that it was too easy for her to kidnap Ling Qingxiao. As the ceiling of the whole book's IQ, how could Ling Qingxiao, the villain who almost wiped out the hero and heroine, could have been deceived by her with a few words. Sure enough, he found that the contract was unfair, and now the term has to be shortened.
Luo Han was very worried. She relied on Ling Qingxiao to be seriously injured when she was in the Abyss, and she signed a bodyguard agreement by forcefully buying and selling. But this agreement only exists in words. If Ling Qingxiao wants to break the agreement, Luo Han really has no choice.
Luo Han could only have a stern face and said solemnly, "No. You have no regrets, you have to abide by what you say. A thousand years is a thousand years, and one more day is not enough."
Luo Han thought that Ling Qingxiao hated bringing her into trouble, and wanted to go back on it, and reiterated: "Don't worry, we had already agreed at the time, it's a public statement, no personal feelings are involved, this is just a pure cooperative relationship. We will wait for the time to come. Just terminate the contract peacefully, and we will go our separate ways from now on, without interfering with each other and without hurting the harmony between the two parties."
Ling Qingxiao didn't have to say it for a thousand years. In fact, he could not add the age limit, but when he heard Luo Han's words, he swallowed the words in his mouth.
Ling Qingxiao was silent for a moment, and said, "When we made an agreement, no one made the oath, right? Without the oath, there is no real restraint. What if I don't keep the promise?"
"You won't do this." Luo Han said firmly. In fact, she was also worried that Ling Qingxiao would break the contract, but for the sake of her own life, Luo Han could only pretend to trust Ling Qingxiao's character very much, and continued to wear a high hat to Ling Qingxiao. Maybe this is the case, Ling Qingxiao is embarrassed to say no, this child's play agreement can continue to be maintained in a confused manner.
Luo Han said firmly, "Others may do this, but you won't. You are the most faithful person I have ever met and abide by the virtue of a gentleman. Other agreements may require restraints, but not with you. I can trust you. you."
Ling Qingxiao was completely silent this time. Luo Han's words were so firm and his eyes were so trusting... Ling Qingxiao really didn't know how to feel at this moment.
"Forget it." He sighed, and even planned to use avoidance to delay the problem, which was obviously the way he disliked the most. "There are still many days, so don't rush to make a decision now, and we will take it slow in the future."
ยท
Since the topic of the thousand-year agreement was brought up that day, the atmosphere between Luo Han and Ling Qingxiao has been very strange for several days. The two of them are still polite and considerate of each other, and they can't say they are unhappy with each other, but secretly, there seems to be an invisible wall between them, and the two can't trust each other like before, what to say.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and Luo Han's life in the mountain village was very peaceful. He went out for a walk every morning, and went to bed as soon as it got dark at night. When the weather was good, he would go to the mountains to collect herbs, or go to the ground to pull weeds. In short, he lived a very comfortable life. retirement life. Ling Qingxiao's injury was getting better every day. On the tenth day, all of his injuries had healed. After the leader took a pulse, he said that the medicine for treating the injury could be stopped, and then he would drink the medicine to stabilize the injury within a few days, and then the medicine could be stopped.
It is a three-point poisonous medicine. Unless necessary, it is better to drink less medicine.
This evening, Luo Han brought the medicine as usual, and after Ling Qingxiao drank the medicine, she helped Ling Qingxiao to channel her spiritual power again. In fact, Ling Qingxiao's spiritual power is now flowing smoothly in her body, and Luo Han is no longer needed. But Ling Qingxiao didn't call to stop, this was just a little effort for Luo Han, since Ling Qingxiao didn't take the initiative to refuse, how could Luo Han be stingy to help this mere small favor.
Draining spiritual power requires concentration. After Luo Han abandoned his distracting thoughts, he stretched out his hand and put it on Ling Qingxiao's palm as usual, feeling the flow of spiritual energy in Ling Qingxiao's body. The room was silent except for the sound of the wind outside the window. The wind outside was not small, and after a while, it really rained.
The rain came fast, and the raindrops hit the window eaves with a violent crackling sound. One of the windows in the house was not closed tightly. It was hit by the storm and slammed into the wall.
Both Luo Han and Ling Qingxiao opened their eyes. In the silent night, the sound of the window hitting the wall was surprisingly harsh. Luo Han slowly pulled back and said, "I'm going to close the window."
When she was about to let go of her hand, a thunder suddenly exploded in the night sky. The plants and animals of the Middle Ages were larger than those of later generations, and even the natural phenomena were more intense than those of the Apocalypse.
In the thunder, Ling Qingxiao suddenly caught some unusual movements. His expression changed suddenly, and before he had time to think about it, he suddenly replaced the palms of the two with interlocking fingers, and pulled Luo Han. Luo Han didn't expect that he suddenly exerted force, he couldn't get up in time, his center of gravity was unstable, and he suddenly fell backwards.
Ling Qingxiao hurriedly stretched out her hand to protect her, Luo Han fell on the bed, and the back of his head was just protected by Ling Qingxiao's hand, and there was no pain from the fall. The light was dim at the moment, the only small light on the table was blown out when the window was smashed open, there was no light source in the room, there was still a curtain hanging outside the bed, and the inside of the bed tent was getting darker and darker.
Luo Han was caught off guard and fell on the bed, Ling Qingxiao's hand was behind her head, and the other hand was still intertwined with hers. At such a close distance, Luo Han didn't need to adjust his eyesight, he could see Ling Qingxiao's enlarged face as soon as he opened his eyes.
Looking at people in the night seems to be especially emotional, and the good-looking parts will look better. Especially for people with good bones, the details of the skin are blurred, and the pros and cons of the bones can be seen at a glance. Ling Qingxiao's bones are very good. His eyebrows are star-shaped, his nose is high, his face is smooth, and his lines are very beautiful. And his eyes were like jade, like the finishing touch in the dark, illuminating the whole person.
Luo Han was lying on the quilt, and the whole person was not right. In the middle of the night, a lonely man and a widow suddenly collapsed on the bed and got close to this level. She thought it was not because she had a yellow brain, right
Luo Han tried to speak, but was signaled to be quiet by Ling Qingxiao. Luo Han's body was stiff and he didn't dare to move, lying on the bed like a puppet.
She was struggling with what was going on, and her ears finally caught some subtle movements. It was raining torrentially outside, and they had their windows open again, and the sounds outside the yard could easily be drowned out, but now that the thunder had stopped, those movements had become apparent.
Luo Han's mood was ups and downs, suddenly tight and relaxed, and he didn't know what to think for a moment. It turned out that she was too yellow. Ling Qingxiao didn't mean it that way. He only did this when he heard a voice outside.
Ling Qingxiao didn't care about this now, he focused on the movement outside the house.
Ling Qingxiao arranged a natural formation outside the hospital. Although there is already a formation, the formation system has not yet been fully developed and is still in the exploratory stage. Medieval formations were mostly used for sacrifices, prayers, and wars, and those used in daily life have not yet appeared.
However, the protective formation was indispensable. Ling Qingxiao used stones, branches, vegetation, etc. to set up a formation, and placed a natural formation outside the courtyard. This formation completely uses natural things and will not attract the attention of outsiders. Even if it is discovered, he can shirk it as a coincidence.
Usually this formation has no sense of existence, but once someone approaches the yard, Ling Qingxiao will immediately notice it.
Ling Qingxiao's eyes were sharp, carefully capturing the small reactions outside. There are two people in total. They seem to have practiced some kind of secret technique, and their breath is hidden very well. If they are not looking for it, it is really difficult to detect. And today's heavy rain also provides cover for them.
Ling Qingxiao knew what was going on outside. When he retracted his attention, he noticed the current situation of him and Luo Han. Ling Qingxiao was embarrassed. When he was in Daming City before, he hadn't noticed his intentions. He was forced to bully Luo Han's side because of the situation.
If it wasn't for Ling Qingxiao to know that it wasn't, he himself felt that this was a long-planned plan with bad intentions.
He was embarrassed in his heart, but he had to pretend to be calm and indifferent and let go quietly. Ling Qingxiao's right hand was behind Luo Han's head. He was afraid of falling on Luo Han, so he let go of the other hand and gestured twice in front of Luo Han.
Luo Han didn't dare to move. Seeing Ling Qingxiao's gesture, she knew that Ling Qingxiao was just for safety and had no other intentions. Luo Han couldn't tell what she was feeling. She turned her attention to business affairs and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Two people came outside, and now they are close. In the sound of the rain, there was a faint sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Luo Han knew that the two had come in.
With the wind blowing, there is a strange fragrance in the air. As soon as Luo Han asked about the smell, she knew there was something wrong, and she didn't need Ling Qingxiao to tell her. She quickly found the mask that blocked the poisonous mist from the storage ring and put it on her face.
The people outside waited for a while, probably thinking that the fog had taken effect, and then walked in through the window. When the two masked men came in, they found that the room was empty, and no one was seen. Only the innermost bed was covered with a curtain, and they were drowsy and could not see what was inside.
The two looked at each other, holding the knife in their hands, and slowly approached.
As the bed got closer and closer, one of them slammed back the curtain, only to find that there was no one on the bed. The two of them were stunned, and a cold light shot from behind and penetrated into the back of one of them.
The man died before he could make a sound. His companion opened his eyes in astonishment. Before he could find where the attack came from, a cold sword light slid across his neck. He stared at him and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Until his death, he did not know who his opponent was and why he failed.
Luo Han and Ling Qingxiao walked out of the hiding formation, Luo Han summoned back to the Ice Needle and sighed sincerely, "This set of needles is really useful for sneak attacks."
Ling Qingxiao didn't care about this, he squatted over the other's body, pulled off the mask, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Demon?"
Luo Han was taken aback and quickly gathered around: "The people who attacked were demons? What are they trying to do?"
Ling Qingxiao didn't say a word, and she quickly checked the two demons in her hands. Unsurprisingly, these two people did not have any documents to prove their identities, but Ling Qingxiao found two bamboo tubes and a bottle of medicine.
His eyes narrowed and he immediately reacted: "No, others are in danger."
The two demons were wearing night clothes, and they were equipped with fog and antidote, so they were well-trained. Obviously, they have companions.
Other people in the tribe can't use the formation method. If they don't find out in time and follow the way of the demons, it will be bad.
Luo Han and Ling Qingxiao didn't have time to deal with the two corpses in the house, so they went out quickly. No matter what the Demon Race wants to do, they sneak attack in the rainy night, first use the fog to stun people, and then quietly kill people, no matter how they look at it, they have no good intentions. The courtyard where Luo Han and Ling Qingxiao are located is very remote, and it is very likely that they are the first to be visited. I hope that the companions of the Demon Race will move slowly, and there will be no tragedy at this moment.
The two of them rushed to the nearest house, and when they entered the door, they happened to see the demons in action. This is a family of five. Mother Zhao and their children were dazed. Only Father Zhao felt something was wrong. He woke up from his sleep and just hit the devil's hand.
Father Zhao resisted desperately, but he inhaled a lot of mist, and his hands and feet were weak at this moment, and he couldn't beat the two demons on the opposite side. Father Zhao was full of despair. He just died. His son and daughter were still young and had not seen the outside world. How could he die here
Seeing that Father Zhao was not afraid, the other demons left them behind and went to the room to kill the sleeping people. Father Zhao watched helplessly as the Demon Race walked towards his daughter with the knife in hand. As if in slow motion, the daughter closed her eyes safely, as if she was having a good dream, unaware that beside her bed, a demon raised a sharp knife and slashed down.
The tip of the knife, with a sharp breeze, stopped abruptly when it approached the Zhao family's daughter, as if it was stopped by something. Immediately, two sword lights came from outside the house, heading straight for the two demons.
The demons were startled, and hurriedly put away their swords to deal with the uninvited guests. Father Zhao fell out of strength, Luo Han quickly ran to Father Zhao's side, held his arm and asked, "Uncle Zhao, how are you?"
Father Zhao reluctantly shook his head: "I'm fine, go and help him."
Seeing that Father Zhao's breath was stable and there was nothing serious, Luo Han quickly went to help Ling Qingxiao. Ling Qingxiao's injuries are now healed, so dealing with the two demons is not a problem at all. He quickly dealt with these people, picked them with the tip of his sword, and found the same bamboo bobbins on them.
Seeing those things, Luo Han frowned and said, "Like those two people just now, their actions this time are really organized. What are they trying to do?"
