The two finally found a sheltered place at the entrance of the cave and laid a floor.
Feng Ci was still inexplicably angry, Pei Qianyue didn't provoke him, and offered him the only straw mat he found in the depths of the cave, and leaned against the bluestone by the roadside, intending to do just that Just one night.
On the contrary, Feng Ci couldn't sleep.
The straw mat was spread beside the bluestone, Feng Ci was lying on his side, and he could see Pei Qianyuejun's silhouette when he looked up.
His face was calm and his breathing was steady. Because of the black silk covering his eyes, he couldn't tell if he was awake, but Feng Ci knew that he was definitely not asleep. When beside Fengci, Pei Qianyue would never fall asleep before him.
One of his legs was bent, his hands rested on his knees, hanging down casually, his fingertips were almost pale.
Even if he just sat quietly like this, he could see that Pei Qianyue was indeed completely different three hundred years ago.
His appearance has not changed in any way, but his temperament three hundred years ago is much gentler, unlike now, it seems that he has covered himself with a hard shell, cold, lonely, and independent from the world.
It seems that the shell will soften a little when it is near Fengci, and it will be more like... a living person.
But what would this man do if he was gone.
Feng Ci thought casually in his heart.
This thought made Feng Ci's heart a little dull, he didn't continue to think about it, but turned to face the night sky, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Hei, are you asleep?"
"No." Pei Qianyue replied quickly, "Master can't sleep?"
He was in a good mood from the beginning, and when he answered Feng Ci's words, his voice was a little cheerful.
Feng Ci responded softly and said, "Let's have a chat."
"Okay." Pei Qianyue said, "What does the master want to talk about?"
Feng Ci thought for a while and asked, "Do you think there is any difference between me and three thousand years ago?"
Pei Qianyue: "Yes."
Feng Ci: "What's the difference?"
Pei Qianyue did not answer immediately.
He tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about words.
After a while, Pei Qianyue said: "Master's temperament is much more peaceful than before."
This answer surprised Feng Ci a little.
"Am I not peaceful enough before?" Feng Ci tilted his head and asked.
Now that he had recovered, his slender hair was completely loose when he lay down. Pei Qianyue lowered his hand and grabbed a strand in his hand.
Pei Qianyue played with Feng Ci's hair, and said in a low voice: "Before, it was difficult for the master to fall asleep at night. Even if he managed to fall asleep, he often woke up from nightmares."
Feng Ci three thousand years ago, just after the protracted and terrible battle, was full of awe honed from the killing, and when he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, they were all demons who died under the sword, as well as their companions who fell by the side.
It was the little black snake back then who liked to cling to him so much.
I wanted to give him some comfort so that he wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
"I forgot all about it." Feng Ci chuckled, "You remember it very clearly."
If it was related to Fengci, Pei Qianyue always remembered that he was more familiar with it.
Feng Ci doesn't shy away from mentioning the events of that year. On the contrary, he likes to tell people these stories as stories, as if in this way, those who have long passed away can continue to exist in the world in this way.
It's one of the few pleasures he's had over the years.
However, most of what he mentioned were those magnificent battles, and he could not remember these details clearly.
"It's a good thing to forget." Pei Qianyue wrapped his fingertips around Feng Ci's hair, and said in a low voice, "Didn't the master leave here just to forget these things?"
When Fengci reunited, Pei Qianyue said that Qianqiu Shengzun was tired of everything in this world and left the world ruthlessly.
These are just temporary words.
Even if the little black snake back then left without Bai Feng Ci, after all these years, he has gradually come to his senses. What the war left Feng Ci was not only the honor of being admired by the world, but also the trauma of the war tormented him day and night, making him unable to escape, and life would be worse than death.
So he left and went to one world after another to escape those unbearable memories.
Pei Qianyue said: "I've been thinking all these years, if I could have been born earlier, or transformed earlier, perhaps things would not have been like this."
If he could have been by Feng Ci's side earlier, he would have been able to hug Feng Ci every time he was emotionally unstable, and comfort him every time he woke up from a nightmare, so that he would not have to suffer so much.
There is no need to leave home and be alone for so many years.
Feng Ci's eyes moved slightly.
But he smiled lightly and opened his eyes: "There are so many ifs."
Feng Ci didn't say anything more, and Pei Qianyue didn't say anything else either.
Lingwu Mountain is silent at night, and there is a rustling sound from the cool night wind blowing the treetops. Feng Ci looked up at the sky, above the night sky, the sky was full of stars and the moon was so close that it seemed as if he could touch it.
Lingwu Mountain is located in the Kunlun Mountains, with extremely high terrain. Stargazing here is completely different from the mortal world.
A fallen leaf happened to fall in Fengci's hair and was caught by Pei Qianyue.
Feng Ci turned his head to look over, Pei Qianyue lowered his head slightly, and put the fallen leaf by his mouth.
A melodious tune poured out from his mouth.
That tune is different from the previous Jiangnan minor tune, like weeping like complaining, like sorrow or joy, accompanied by the leisurely breeze and moonlight, drifting in the empty misty mountains.
As Feng Ci recited the song, his heart gradually calmed down.
As soon as he calmed down, sleepiness followed.
Feng Ci couldn't help yawning, and the tune suddenly stopped.
Pei Qianyue said: "Master wants to rest?"
"No." Feng Ci rubbed his eyes, feeling a little sleepy, but still didn't want to sleep, "Keep blowing, I like it."
Pei Qianyue smiled lowly: "Sleep if you want to sleep, I'll blow it to you someday."
Perhaps it was because Feng Ci hadn't had a good rest since Zhejian Villa. Physical exhaustion finally defeated reason, Feng Ci yawned again, and said, "Okay, then God forgot."
Pei Qianyue: "Well, no."
Feng Ci lay sideways on the straw mat, and soon became so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and said vaguely: "You know so many things, that's great..."
It's a pity, such a good person, why did he fall in love with him
Feng Ci didn't finish his sentence, and soon fell asleep.
***
Time in the illusion stopped from the moment Pei Qianyue woke up, so when Feng Ci woke up, the moon was still hanging high in the sky.
The stars didn't change anymore, and he didn't know how long he had slept, but his body was no longer tired.
After recovering their physical strength, they still have to go to business first.
— Find a way to leave this phantom spirit cauldron.
In an ordinary illusion, if the person who fell into the illusion wakes up, the illusion will naturally collapse. Therefore, in Fengci's cognition, there is no experience of how to deal with this stagnant illusion.
Feng Ci swung his sword forward, but was pushed back a few steps by an invisible force, and was caught by Fang's Pei Qianyue.
"Master, be careful." Pei Qianyue said.
Feng Ci scattered the sword in his hand, he relaxed, and fell into Pei Qianyue's arms: "I don't want to do it anymore."
They are now at the foot of Lingwu Mountain.
This illusion is shaped based on Pei Qianyue's memory, and the entire illusion is also around Lingwu Mountain. Feng Ci originally wanted to find the edge of the illusion, to see if he could break it.
But after they tried for a long time, the transparent wall invisible to the naked eye still remained motionless.
Feng Ci's mentality collapsed.
Pei Qianyue supported Feng Ci, walked to the side and sat down, said: "Master, rest first, I'll try."
"I tried it." Feng Ci pulled him back, "The Huan Ling Ding is known for its incomparable strength, and it must not be broken by external force. We tried so many times just now but it didn't work. It was a waste of effort."
Pei Qianyue: "Then what should we do?"
Feng Ci fell silent.
Suddenly, as if something happened to him, his eyes lit up.
Seeing Feng Ci raised his fingers together, he drew out a sword aura, and hit a treetop above his head impartially.
The wild fruit on the tree rustled down.
Pei Qianyue: "..."
Did those people in the cultivation world know that their revered Patriarch Qianqiu used sword energy to pick fruits in private
Feng Ci ran over quickly, squatted on the ground to pick and choose for a while, picked out the biggest and best-looking one, and threw it back to Pei Qianyue: "Go on!"
He picked another one himself and wiped it on his sleeve: "I can't think of a way, why don't you eat something first."
I have seen this kind of fruit Feng Ci before. It is not big, but its skin is thin. The pulp is full of juice, sour and sweet, making people mouth water.
He bit it down, but his whole face was wrinkled from the soreness: "Bah—"
raw.
Pei Qianyue: "Pfft."
Feng Ci threw away the leftover fruit and glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"
"This kind of fruit must be delicious if it looks good." Pei Qianyue walked up to him, groped on the ground for a while, picked out a fruit whose skin was already very soft to the touch, and handed it to Feng Ci, "Try again .”
Feng Ci looked at him suspiciously, leaned forward and took a bite of his hand.
It is indeed sweet.
The illusion of the two of them was not broken, but they picked up the fruit and walked back.
Pei Qianyue said: "There is a forest under the valley in the east, and there are many berries of this kind. If the master likes it, I will pick some for the master."
When it comes to living in Lingwu Mountain, Pei Qianyue, an aborigine who has lived for three thousand years, is more familiar with it.
Feng Ci was eating with gusto, and Yan didn't know what to think of, so he let out a "huh".
Pei Qianyue tilted his head and asked him, "What?"
Feng Ci looked at the leftover fruits in his hand, then at those in Pei Qianyue's arms, and smiled: "I just felt that we really seemed to be living in this secret realm."
Pei Qianyue paused.
If the senior who created the magic spirit cauldron back then would have found it unbelievable if he knew that his magic weapon could still have such a use.
But it was such a mistake that let Feng Ci and Pei Qianyue take advantage of the loophole.
"Actually, this seems good." Feng Ci said, "Think about it, if neither of us can find a way to get out, my flesh is now a puppet that can kill people, and he can't get out. He can't get out, And I won’t go to harm the realm of comprehension again.”
The more he talked, the more he felt that his thoughts made sense: "Your illusion has been broken now, and there is no danger anymore. I don't think there is any difference in the real Lingwu Mountain here. You can live here for three thousand years. With the two of us It’s not difficult to live together for a long time.”
Pei Qianyue repeated softly: "Live for a long time..."
"It's just a pity that time here has stopped. If you stay in this illusion forever, you may never see the dawn again." Feng Ci looked up at the sky, the galaxy was still bright, "and the fruit you eat will not If you regenerate it, you have to save some food."
As Feng Ci said, he took another bite of the fruit.
Pei Qianyue didn't answer in a hurry, Feng Ci narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Why, you don't want to?"
He thought Pei Qianyue would be very happy with this proposal. After all, judging from how we got along these days, this person has no interest in or cares about those outsiders.
He always wanted to be by Feng Ci's side.
Feng Ci thought for a while and asked, "Are you still worried about Liumen?"
"No." Pei Qianyue shook his head, "I am very happy that the master can say that."
Feng Ci: "Then you..."
"I'm really happy." Pei Qianyue interrupted him, "If I can be with my master, no matter where I am, I will be happy. Yes..."
Pei Qianyue paused, and said calmly: "Yes, living in a mountain forest for a long time is not as easy as the master imagined, and the days may be very boring."
"So what." Feng Ci didn't take it seriously, "You live alone, and you have come here for thousands of years, can't I not do it? What's more, I have you by my side."
"Right."
A little smile appeared on Pei Qianyue's lips: "Personal life is indeed much more interesting than being alone."
Feng Ci revealed the deep meaning implied in his words, and quickly denied: "I didn't mean that!"
"What do you mean?" Pei Qianyue said with a smile, "I mean, it's better to be able to talk to each other alone than alone... Where is the master thinking?"
Feng Ci: "..."
He was suddenly glad that Pei Qianyue was nowhere to be seen, otherwise he would have seen his ears turn red again.
Feng Ci was angry and annoyed, and didn't know how to answer, so he turned his head angrily: "I'm leaving!"
He was about to leave, but was pulled back.
The smile on Pei Qianyue's face had subsided, he pulled Fengci closer with a little force, and a deep voice sounded close to his ear: "But if the master wants to try to do something interesting, I must I will accompany you to the end."
He raised his hand and gently wiped away a little bit of berry juice from the corners of Feng Ci's lips. From his movements to his voice, there was a certain hint.
"—want to try it?"
