The woman shook her head gently: "But who among those who have gone up the mountain in recent years didn't do it for the one they loved?"
Luo Jinxiao had just experienced a great tragedy, and now she had been frozen for such a long time. She suddenly felt dizzy and accidentally fell forward. The woman reached out and held her shoulders to steady her.
She looked at her for a moment, and suddenly said, "If one life is exchanged for another, would you be willing?"
Luo Jinxiao staggered and grabbed her arm. She looked up, but couldn't see her face clearly. She finally gave up, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"If you don't want to, then get off. I will charge you for saving people." The woman tried to stand up, but Luo Jinxiao pulled her back forcefully.
Her lips were trembling and her fingertips were numb.
She had never felt so many emotions in the world because of one person. If it was her lying there now, would Qu Weiyin try her best to save her
Of course it will.
"I do." Luo Jinxiao said, holding her breath and nodding heavily, "Take whatever you want from me. Anything is fine."
The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and an incomprehensible emotion surged in her eyes, seemingly sad, yet very calm.
"Where is that man?" she asked.
"Wuhui Mountain, Hanyun Cliff." Luo Jinxiao gritted his teeth.
"The body is dead? Is the soul still there?"
"The body is dead, but the soul is still here." Luo Jinxiao resisted the urge to faint, reached into his pouch and took out a crystal green stone, and put it into the woman's hand, "This, may be of some use?"
The woman took it in her fair hands, looked at it carefully, and said, "The dead tree is coming back to life, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"Wait a minute. I'll go take a look." The woman held the stone in her hand and turned to leave. Luo Jinxiao lost his support and finally fell sideways in the snow.
The woman paused, turned around and squatted again, and with a wave of her long sleeves, Luo Jinxiao disappeared from the spot.
Luo Jinxiao was awakened by a burst of warmth. She opened her eyes in a daze and found herself in a huge ice room. The surroundings were freezing cold, but her body was very warm, as if a fire was burning.
She propped herself up and looked up. The woman was sleeping on the transparent ice, her silver hair spread out like water.
This time, she could see the sect master's appearance clearly. Apart from her silver hair, she didn't look like someone who had lived for thousands of years. Her skin was delicate and tender like a young girl, and her lips were rosy and lustrous, reflecting the light of the lamp.
Even her eyelashes were gray, and even with her eyes closed, it was still very thrilling.
Luo Jinxiao thought to herself that among all the beauties she had seen in these two lives, only Qu Weiyin and this woman could compare to her.
The woman seemed very tired, her brows were furrowed and she looked unhappy. She seemed to have noticed Luo Jinxiao's movements. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her glass-colored eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"Awake." She said, and then slowly sat up, her silver hair falling on her shoulders. If Qu Weiyin did this action, it would be extremely charming, but for her, even if she was noble and cold, sleeping on ice, she would still look like an emperor.
Luo Jinxiao quickly looked away, nodded and asked: "Master, Junior Master..."
"She will be fine, but the evil spirit has damaged her internal organs. She will inevitably be weaker from now on." The woman stood up, but her steps were a little unsteady. Luo Jinxiao hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached out to support her.
The woman's thin lips curled slightly, her eyes moved around her fingertips, and she shook her head and said, "I want to kill you, and you don't care at all."
Seeing her tired look, Luo Jinxiao knew that saving Qu Weiyin was not an easy task. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, opened them again, and asked carefully, "Maybe I can take another look at her."
“No.” The woman shook her head. “Anyone who has seen me will never be allowed to leave Nandou Peak again for the rest of their lives.”
Luo Jinxiao uttered an "oh" and closed his eyes, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Master. Please help me now."
The woman looked at her, then slowly approached, putting her pale, thin hand on her neck, but her eyes were always examining her features, never moving away.
Luo Jinxiao had already prepared himself for death, so he felt at ease. After all, he had died once, so he was not that afraid of death.
The woman's cold hand just touched her throat for a long time without any other movement.
"So similar." The woman suddenly sighed.
Luo Jinxiao opened his eyes in surprise: "Like what?"
The woman suddenly withdrew her hand, walked past her with light lotus steps, and the cool and smooth gauze brushed across her cheek.
"Come with me to see someone."
This ice room was actually connected to a stone cave, which was colder than the outside world. Luo Jinxiao had to use his spiritual power to keep himself from freezing. Although the cave was cold, it was very clean. You could tell at a glance that it was cleaned every day. There were even a few winter plum blossoms placed in the corners, emitting a faint fragrance.
There was a coffin placed in the middle of the cave. It was just an ordinary wooden coffin, but it was decorated like a hotbed, with a few strings of candied haws placed next to it.
Although this scene is creepy, it also has a sense of poignancy.
Luo Jinxiao suddenly remembered the story Lu Fanzhi had told her. So, this was the woman who was in love with the sect leader.
Luo Jinxiao bravely looked inside. The woman was lying in a wooden coffin, as if she was asleep. Her skin was still as delicate as a baby's and she looked somewhat childish. Her eyebrows and eyes were really similar to Luo Jinxiao.
As soon as the sect leader saw the woman, his eyes became tender. She knelt gently beside her and looked at her carefully.
"I have saved thousands of lives, but I couldn't save hers."
"That day she blocked the attack for me and also endured the heavenly calamity. Her soul was scattered and I couldn't find it no matter what I did."
The woman's voice was apparently very calm, but to Luo Jinxiao it sounded indescribably sad.
"Is that woman's name Qu Weiyin?" the woman suddenly asked.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"You like her."
Like? Luo Jinxiao was about to nod, but then he felt that the woman didn't mean that, and didn't know what to do.
The woman looked up with a surprised look on her face. A smile appeared on her lips. She said helplessly, "Could it be that you are willing to exchange your life for mine when you don't understand anything yet?"
"Do you want to hug her, kiss her, hold her hand, and be with her forever?" The woman's eyes curved as she said this, and there was a hint of worldliness in them.
Luo Jinxiao thought about it in a daze, his face suddenly turned red, he touched his head stupidly, and the image of himself hugging Qu Weiyin's waist appeared in his mind.
The woman burst out laughing. She shook her head and said, "What a silly child. She knows much more than you think. When I restored her pulse, she kept calling your name."
"Luo Jinxiao?"
Luo Jinxiao nodded repeatedly. She suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart. Even if she dared to like her, what could she do? She would not be able to see her again in the future. She only hoped that after Qu Weiyin came back to life, she would be happier than usual.
Seeing her resolute and desolate look, the woman shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but you have to stay here and guard Zhao Zhao for me. Just treat it as if you have already passed away."
"You have to keep it for the rest of your life," she added.
Luo Jinxiao felt no emotion when she heard that. She just let Qu Weiyin think that she was dead. After ten or a hundred years, she would forget her.
"Yes, Master." She lowered her voice and said softly.
God is defeated and determined.
