Dai Ziling

Chapter 226 New Cognition
Danxue Mountain.

Frozen and snow-covered, the new wind is harsh, and the scene of lush greenery and blooming flowers is long gone.

The night is vast, the snow is white, and all the colors about this place in memory are swallowed by the joint forces of heaven and earth.

On the top of the mountain, Zixi leaned against the phoenix tree and sat on the ground with her knees hugged. Under the moonlight, she was alone.

For the first time, she felt that loneliness brought her a sense of security.Unscrupulous tears, hoarse shouts, and unscrupulous venting... She doesn't need comfort, care, or company. She just wants to be alone, and she just wants to be able to unload all the burdens for a moment and speak frankly. Admit that I'm "crazy"...

She used to be so carefree, unrestrained and unrestrained. She originally expected to live together with her beloved after the Everlasting Calamity. Who would have thought that while the flames were burning her body, a sharp blade of ice would cut off her entire life? thoughts.

The fear of almost losing her sister, the guilt of ignoring Zhu Lan in the world, the resentment of being used as a pawn by the powerless forces, the inseparable affection for "Teng Xuanyi"... and the pain of those who have also experienced suffering in their hearts, It's all because of me... How should I repay this debt?

Everything is silent, only the sad weeping sound echoes in the air, drops of scorching tears fall, melting the white snow covering the top of the mountain, the trembling body touches the trunk of the sycamore tree, the branches tremble slightly, and the snow falls like pear blossoms, as if Back to the dream-like illusion outside Fu City.

Standing in the distance, Zhu Lan silently stared at the lonely figure under the tree, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.

I don't know how long it took, the heart-piercing crying gradually turned into a sob, Zhu Lan slowly let go of her clenched fists, only to find that her palms were already full of sweat in this icy and snowy world.

Standing up and jumping under the plane tree, he squatted down, deliberately kept a little distance from Zixi, and said, "Is it more comfortable?"

Zixi turned her head to look at Zhulan, and immediately retracted her gaze, annoyed in her heart: You are so stupid to forget to set up a barrier.

Forced to squeeze out a smile, Zhu Lan said again: "Why don't you... cry for a while?"

After wiping her face with her sleeve, Zixi shook her head: "My throat hurts from shouting, stop crying!"

Zhu Lan said: "Well, I also know that my throat hurts, not bad."

Zixi lowered her head, her voice was hoarse: "Brother Zhulan, I..."

A cry of "Brother Zhulan" seemed to bring the two of them back to the past. It was a wonderful time. Every day, she was the one making trouble, and he was laughing. A piece of pure feather before Nirvana made an agreement on eternal friendship. What was shattered by the sudden change was not only Zixi's expectation...

With bright eyes, Zhu Lan really wanted to hug this lovely and pitiful girl in her arms, or just caress the top of her head like before, but Zhu Lan knew that at this moment, any move or sentence of his would Words may deepen Zixi's self-blame and entanglement.

Sometimes, restraint is love!
While adjusting her icy breathing, Zhulan retreated a little later: "Zixi, none of this is your fault, since things have happened, then keep going forward, don't look back, Lingyi is fine , I'm here too, aren't I?"

yes!Sister is fine, everyone is fine at the moment, what could be more gratifying than this!
Suddenly feeling a lot brighter in her heart, Zixi said with an extremely grateful heart: "Fortunately, fortunately..."

Zhulan smiled and said, "So, don't feel sad, okay?"

Zixi said: "I..."

Zhulan knew that Zixi had regained her feelings for herself, and although she might have been mentally prepared, when this feeling really came back, she still couldn't bear it.A descendant of the Feng family, she is loyal to her feelings. She did something that she couldn't forgive herself by mistake. She can only overcome this hurdle in her heart, and no one can help her.

What's more, today Xingyi chose to side with Zixi at the price of ninety-nine thunderbolts, how could she remain indifferent!
Zhulan shook her head with a smile, and said, "I understand, Zixi, do you know why I have never interfered in your affairs with him for so long?"

Zixi raised her head slowly, indeed, this was the biggest confusion in her heart, how could Zhu Lan allow herself to have entanglements with other men, let alone, she was a mortal in the beginning.

Seeing Zixi's curious eyes, Zhulan explained: "Because he treats you the same as I treat you, and nothing is more important than your safety and well-being. Even though he was just a mortal at first, it is because of this that his True sincerity is even more rare. Whether it is Teng Xuanyi or Xingyi, he has never changed. From the beginning to the end, all we want to do is to protect you... You choose, or you don’t choose, whoever you choose, for us I can accept it calmly, as you said, there is no relationship more rare than a life-and-death relationship, and this rarest kind of relationship, I think, I have already got it with him, so put down the burden in your heart, Do whatever you want, understand?"

Staring blankly at Zhulan for a long time, Zixi seems to have a new understanding of "love": some people can actually have feelings and no desires for their own "safety". Compared with the pain, it should not be much better...

Thinking of this, Zixi burst into tears again, she plunged into Zhulan's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried: "Brother Zhulan, I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

Zhulan burst into tears, and patted Zixi on the back lightly, without saying a word, he knew that he must accept the three words "I'm sorry", because only in this way, Zixi can slowly walk out of the extreme self-blame and guilt .

Standing not far away, Xingyi and Yueyao's eyes were wet. They knew that in the sky and on the earth, in all directions, there is no one who loves Zixi more than Zhulan.

Holding the mentality of pleading guilty and then rolling as far as possible, the two slowly walked towards the plane tree.

Zhu Lan turned her head slightly and glanced at the two shadows approaching from the corner of her eye, and said softly, "Zixi, be brave and follow your own heart."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zixi sat up from Zhulan's arms, and when she saw those two very familiar figures, her heart was overwhelmed.

follow your heart...

She put one hand on the ground and wanted to stand up, but suddenly felt a numbness in her legs, her feet went limp, and she was about to fall down again. Three strong hands supported her firmly, and there was a repeated sound along the way. "Be careful!"

Gritting her teeth, Zixi circulated her spiritual power to her legs, and the numbness disappeared instantly. She shook off those three hands, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm used to the mortal body, so I laugh at it."

The three of them forcibly held back their laughter. At this time, the only one who can say such words is this girl...

The scene was a bit embarrassing for a while, saying that it was an apology, but how to explain their "crime" became a big problem. Xingyi and Yueyao pursed their lips, waiting for the other party to show themselves first, or, simply When that girl gets mad, it's good to have a good time.

Seeing that the two were not talking, Zixi rolled her eyes, stretched out her fingers and created a fire in the open space, the cold wind blew, and the flames danced like demons, which made the two people's already nervous hearts even more messy.

Holding Zhulan's hand, Zixi said: "Let's sit over there!"

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Okay."

As she said that, Zhu Lan turned her head and winked at the two of them, there was some sympathy and a little ridicule among them.

Yue Yao's mouth turned into a "eight" character, and said: "My Highness has lived for thousands of years, and I have never been as frightened as I am now. Why does it feel like I am about to go to the execution ground? Moreover, the executioner took it, it seems It's the knife that Ling Chi used... just give it a go, really..."

Although Xing Yi had no expression on his face, he was still muttering in his heart: "Don't make noise, don't make noise, turn a blind eye, what does this mean? Could it be that she really doesn't have any nostalgia for herself in her heart?"If that's the case...well...at least, she won't be in so much pain.

Yue Yao sighed and said, "Fourth brother, we..."

Xingyi lowered his eyes: "Let's go..."

Taking a breath of cold air, Yue Yao felt a pain like a needle prick in his heart, he would never have thought that Zixi would have such an attitude.I don't care, don't ask, don't ask, as if the two people standing here at the moment have nothing to do with her.

The two turned around, their feet were extremely heavy, and they walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff, neither of them used their spiritual power to leave, they all waited for a voice to stay behind them, and with every step they took, their hearts sank a little until they reached the edge of the cliff. There was no way, and the two stopped at the same time.

Zixi's back was facing them, her expression was very calm, Zhu Lan watched her silently, her eyes were full of doting and tenderness.

Suddenly, the two figures on the edge of the cliff disappeared, and with a scream, Zixi's two arms were suddenly lifted up.

Xingyi and Yueyao dragged her from left to right, and said in unison: "I'm sorry!"

Zhulan laughed, picked up a branch and fiddled with the bonfire, then covered her ears.

Looking left and right, Zixi yelled loudly with all her strength: "Let go of Auntie!"

brush!
The two quickly let go of their hands, ready to listen to the long-awaited abuse.

"Let's go! Why don't you go! You are going to run after playing with your aunt as a monkey?"

The two shook their heads again and again without saying a word.

Zixi turned around and looked at Xing Yi, took a deep breath, and asked loudly: "Have you been lying to me from the beginning?"

Xing Yi said: "No!"

Zixi said: "That also has something to do with your father!"

Xing Yi lowered his head and remained silent.

Zixi's eyes lit up: "Huh? Your hair crown is quite unique..."

"Ah?" Xing Yi looked confused, and hurriedly took off the Qinglong hair crown and handed it to Zixi, saying, "Here you are."

Zixi took the hair crown unceremoniously, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it for a moment, smiled slightly, and crushed the hair crown with a snap.

Yue Yao swallowed her throat, and said in her heart: The Azure Dragon Crown of the crown prince of the Celestial Clan is a status symbol, this girl... Fortunately, the Demon Clan is not so particular, and there is nothing rare on her body...

Glancing at the dark green powder on the ground, Xing Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, looking completely indifferent.

Seeing him like this, Zixi's tone softened a bit: "When did you recall your identity?"

Xing Yi said: "After being attacked by the ghost eagle, a drop of your tear fell into my wound, where the fairy bone was, and also...the place where the tear you shed when you were born..."

Zixi was stunned, she turned her head to look at Zhulan, only to see him nodding towards her.

It turned out that Zhu Lan knew about it early on...

Zixi understood everything in an instant. Some fates were predestined from the very beginning.

He closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, with a wave of his hand, Zixi peeled off Xingyi's armor and outer shirt, stepped hard on the ground, and said: "You have kept my skin from me for so long, and it doesn't count that you took your skin off." Go too far!"

Xing Yi shook her head with red eyes: "It's not too much at all."

The two looked at each other and smiled, which was worth a thousand words.

Suddenly, Zixi's expression changed and she turned to look at Yue Yao. Yue Yao raised her hands, took two steps back, and said, "I'll take it off myself!"

……

After Zixi gave a "bah", she kicked him hard, and said loudly: "It's true! When did you know your identity!"

Seeing Yueyao staggered and fell heavily to the ground, Xingyi silently walked to Zhulan and sat down, his expression of worry at first turned into gloating.

Rubbing her hip bones, Yue Yao said aggrievedly: "Eight years old? Nine years old? Hey, about ten years old!"

Zixi said incredulously: "So, you've been playing, haven't you? Have you done so many unscrupulous and immoral things on purpose?"

Yue Yao pursed her lips: "Ang!"

Stepping forward and kicking his leg again, Zixi kicked him on the shoulder fiercely, and cursed loudly: "You big bastard! Why are you so dark-hearted!"

Rubbing her shoulders, Yue Yao was not angry at all: "I have a dark heart, but there are many people who are darker than me among mortals. You have never seen that kind of blackness that is unimaginable!"

Zixi was stunned, this is not bad, even the Celestial Clan can use all kinds of despicable methods, let alone ordinary people who have no cultivation... Poor people like Zhu Li are even more miserable than her There should be a lot of people...

Seeing that Zixi was silent, Yueyao stood up immediately, leaned in front of Zixi, and said very sincerely: "I swear, I will change it!"

Half of the anger in his chest dissipated at once, Zixi grabbed his ears and said: "But those who were hurt by you! They will never come back! Yuelu, Ningfu..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Yue Yao pretended to be in great pain, and explained while begging for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts, please be merciful, Yue Lu and I have already made it clear, and she let it go! I will definitely Take care of her like your own sister!"

Hearing this, Zixi let go of her hand: "What about Ningfu?"

Rubbing her ears, Yue Yao showed a sad face: "She...I haven't thought about it yet..."

Seeing his expression, Zixi felt very sad, but she understood that emotional matters cannot be forced.

In fact, everyone knows that when Zixi kicked Yueyao, she had already chosen to forgive, and since she forgave, she must still treat everyone with the same heart as before.

"Give her some time!" Zhu Lan stood up, walked to Yue Yao's side and patted the dirt on his body and said.

Zixi nodded, suddenly remembered something more important, she turned her head to look at Xing Yi and asked, "Do you know who broke the Falling Nightmare technique? And what is the ball of light that suddenly appeared in the pond? "

Xing Yi stood up and said, "Come back with us and let him tell you in person."
