On a midsummer afternoon, cicadas chirped in the dense forests and mountains.
Although we were under the shade of trees, we began to feel the heat and the spring-like freshness was gone.
Sisi changed out of her formal attire for attending court and put on her bare-waisted and barefooted outfit again. She walked closely through the forest, leading the way for Zhao Changhe.
Zhao Changhe was standing behind her, looking at her slender waist and beautiful feet, without saying a word.
The tombs of the Eldar in this era have special grave mountains, but the ancient tombs were not planned much and were everywhere. The Eldar people now don't know which tomb corresponds to which ancestor, so they can't offer sacrifices. They can only offer sacrifices in the holy mountain and temple, and mark the area where the ancient tombs are relatively concentrated as a restricted area to prevent some poor and crazy people from digging graves.
As for the scattered tombs everywhere, they were basically turned a blind eye and if someone accidentally dug them up, they were dug up.
In fact, the Eldar were self-sufficient, and even when they were enslaved in the forbidden land, they were not exploited for money and food, which did not affect their lives. They were indeed not so poor that they would go crazy and steal the ancestral tombs. Over time, the ancient tomb area here became a deserted mountain that no one approached, and it may have been hundreds of years since anyone went there.
The journey was quite long, and the two of them trudged silently through the barren mountains. They didn't say a word for a long time, and they didn't know how to start talking.
"Ah~" The wind blew in the forest ahead, and a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes jumped out.
Sisi rolled her eyes and “frightened” herself into Zhao Changhe’s arms: “Master…”
"Roar!" The tiger pounced over.
Zhao Changhe held Sisi with one hand and put his other hand on the tiger's head.
The tiger pushed and scratched with its claws, but it could not move forward even an inch.
Zhao Changhe doubted that he could kill the cute tiger with just a burst of his internal energy, but he didn't do it.
Because it is very likely that this tiger was controlled by Sisi, just to get into my arms... Thinking back to this reunion, this damn girl can control snakes, but she didn't show it later...
Sisi stole a glance at the tiger who was almost crying, and said in a friendly voice: "Master is so strong..."
Zhao Changhe changed his palm into a finger and flicked the tiger. The tiger ran away whimpering, with its tail between its legs.
But the other hand was in his arms and never let go.
Sisi blinked her eyes, secretly glanced at his profile, lowered her head and said, "Didn't the master ask Sisi to lead the way..."
"A single man and a single woman in a small grove, I'd rather do something else..." Zhao Changhe exerted a little force, pushed Sisi against the ancient tree next to them, and looked down into her eyes.
Sisi's heart was pounding and her breathing was a little rapid.
The two had been acting like a maid and a master for so long, but if you think about it carefully, Zhao Changhe had never taken the initiative to do anything of this magnitude. Even if he conquered the spirit race this time, theoretically he could take whatever he wanted, but in fact, the service in the temple was all on their own initiative... He even wanted to call someone to get up.
This was the first time Zhao Changhe showed any intention of playing with her.
Was it because he had become addicted to the temple service and had turned bad? Or had he already known about Ao Chi's affairs...
Zhao Changhe's hand was already gently stroking her waist. Sisi tensed her body, feeling very strange.
I felt that way in the Aochi, but I didn’t feel anything like this… Why can just stroking my waist make me feel this way… I feel like I’ve been electrified, numb and tingling…
"Master..." Sisi finally couldn't help begging for mercy: "There are so many wild animals around here, don't do it here..."
"Can we change places?"
Sisi could only say: "Sisi was originally the master's, and the master didn't want her yesterday, but now she's teasing me..."
Zhao Changhe lowered his head and kissed her cheek gently, then moved to her lips: "But the master wants it now..."
Sisi's mind was slightly blank, and her lips were already blocked.
Her eyes widened, her mind distracted for a moment.
It's funny, we did everything, but this was our first kiss.
Maybe she had kissed him when she played the fake Hong Ling, and maybe yesterday in Ao Chili... But there was no response, which was completely different from what was happening now.
Sisi felt that she had lost all her strength. She only relied on him to hold her against the tree so that she would not slide down. Although her eyes were open, no images entered her mind, and they were all hazy.
Finally, I just closed my eyes in anger and refused to look.
It's quite comfortable if you don't think about anything... His technique is quite good... Uh, no, is this something worthy of praise
Sisi became a little angry and pushed him gently.
However, Zhao Changhe did not insist and just moved a little further away as she pushed him.
The two of them stared at each other breathlessly for a moment. Zhao Changhe reached out and brushed her rosy lips, whispering, "Stamp it first, and we can talk about other things later."
Sisi felt like she didn't even have the strength to get up. After a long while, she suddenly said, "Zhao Changhe, have you been wanting to do this since you came to Gusu?"
Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Yes."
Actually not, it just starts today.
But since she likes to think so, so be it.
As expected, Sisi immediately became happy, lowered her head and took his arm: "I knew... you never have good intentions, so stop pretending?"
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "I won't pretend anymore."
He took Sisi's arm and continued walking forward, suddenly smiling: "Thank you, Buqi." Sisi snorted: "What does it have to do with him? If I hadn't been willing, would he really have been able to send me off?"
Zhao Changhe then asked, "So you agreed at that time, right?"
"certainly not!"
"Didn't you think the master was handsome and smart at that time?"
"How disgusting..." Sisi pretended to kick him and ran forward.
Zhao Changhe hugged him back and said, "You dare to kick me..."
Sisi's eyes flickered: "Then what do you want, Master? Execute him on the spot?"
"The little girl will be punished to be a walking stick for me." Zhao Changhe held her hand and said, "Lead the way."
Sisi smiled and said, "Is this a cane or a guide dog?"
Zhao Changhe blinked.
Sisi whispered in my ear: "This puppy is a female..."
Zhao Changhe: Convex
Sisi giggled, but continued to hold his hand and walked forward, swaying from side to side.
The hot mountains suddenly became refreshing, like a breeze of spring.
Sisi roughly guessed that maybe the clever master had already solved the case, but it was not as awkward as she had imagined. So why should he worry about it afterwards? Isn't it good like this now... The joy in her heart was unprecedented.
Since he didn't reveal it, maybe he was afraid of embarrassing himself... so he didn't reveal it.
Sisi recalled that since her father passed away and the spirits surrendered to the forbidden land, she has never felt as happy as today.
That was many years ago... Sisi was still very young at that time.
It felt like a dream.
The old century graveyard was clearly far away, and the two walked for a long time. But when they really saw it, Sisi suddenly felt that the road was so short...
"Is that the place?" Zhao Changhe's voice came: "It doesn't look anything special... The tombs are also relatively primitive."
Sisi came back to her senses: "Everyone suspected that there might be a real ancestral god's tomb in the mountain, but no one dared to touch it, not even to get close to it."
Zhao Changhe surveyed the grave mountain for a while, then walked up the mountain carefully, mainly trying to sense the reaction of the heavenly book in the ring.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, the heavenly book moved slightly.
Really a reaction.
Zhao Changhe stopped and pondered as he looked at the overgrown hillside ahead.
According to the worst guess, an ancient god or demon is also sleeping here, waiting to be resurrected like the Sword Emperor.
He might be the top wizard in the realm of true life and flesh. The fact that this page of the Heavenly Book was scattered in this direction is most likely related to this.
But there is nothing strange here, and I can't sense any special energy. We can't dig inside, right
That doesn't feel right... And referring to the Sword Emperor, even if the spirits asked you to dig, would you dare to dig in and disturb them
Zhao Changhe walked slowly around the area and saw a flat stone platform in front of him. The stone platform was about ten feet square and surrounded by weeds and trees. The stone platform had no moss and was not mottled by wind and sun. It was very smooth.
He tried to stand on the stone platform for a moment and looked up at the sky.
The sun is setting in the west. From this direction, the sunset seems very close, as if it is right in front of you, like a big plate.
The location of the holy mountain may be the center of this secret realm, so this place may be the western edge.
A small world with a round sky and a flat earth where you can see the sun up close.
Sisi didn't interrupt him the whole time. She held his hand and walked around with him. She was a little surprised even at this moment: "We have been breeding here for so many generations, but we have never discovered that the sun can be so close and not kill people with heat."
Zhao Changhe stared at the large plate in front of him for a long time before he said, "Compared to the secret realms I've entered before, this is the closest to a complete world, with sky and sun. If humans want to pursue the height of the sky, they can't do it in normal places. This place is like a scaled-down model... I want to practice here for a while, and I also want to see if there will be any other strange phenomena here at a certain time."
Sisi looked around and found that there were no graves or tombstones in this location. There was also a stream flowing in front of it, as if it was an isolated piece of pure land.
She also thought this place was interesting, so she asked, "Do you want to build a house here?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Changhe glanced at Sisi, a little hesitant.
As expected, women will affect the speed of drawing the sword.
If you are alone, exploring the secrets of heaven and earth, it doesn't matter how long you stay in a mountain of graves or a sea of blood.
But in the current situation, Hong Ling is still here, and Sisi's emotions have just been activated, but she says she wants to build a hut and practice on a cemetery mountain hundreds of miles away. It seems a bit weird no matter how you think about it.
As if she could see what he was thinking, Sisi reached out and straightened his collar, and said softly, "Don't worry, don't you still want to go see the strange beasts... I'll have someone come here to build a courtyard in the next few days, and put all the daily necessities here... When everything is ready, the complicated matters of the initial construction of the Ling Kingdom should be almost settled, and Sisi will come here to accompany the master, light the candles and add incense, and be your little maid."
Zhao Changhe looked into her eyes.
She was clearly a queen who had just ascended the throne...but her gentle eyes made her feel like she was back in Gusu.
