Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 45
"It's up to you." Zhijin lifted the quilt and was about to put on his shoes.

Zhong Yan suddenly squatted at her feet, picked up the pair of Qionghua embroidered shoes, and gently put them on for her.

"The flowers on your shoes are so unique, I've never seen them before."

Zhijin looked at Zhong Yan's act of putting on shoes for herself, and remembered that in the human world, on the day of her wedding with Luo Tang, Elder Sister gently put on the pair of red mandarin duck embroidered shoes for her like this.

While putting on shoes for her, sister-in-law said, mandarin ducks form a pair, and they get married. From now on, the lady will be a married woman. If your husband loves you, the first thing you do after getting up every day is to lower your body for You wear shoes.

Shoes are the foundation of walking, and if he can wear shoes for you, he is willing to accompany you through this long life, so that you can grow old together.

How can this life be so easy to last for a long time? Her Luo Tang's life is short, and there is no time to drink the wine with her.

Luo Tang is a part of Xingjun, she loves the house and the crow, so she never forgets him.

"This flower is Qionghua, and there are many in my hometown."

"Good name, Qionglou Yuyu, rich and prosperous. Do you know why there are many flowers in my main palace?" Zhong Yan looked up at her after putting on her shoes.

For some reason, Zhijin fell into his affectionate gentle waves, she got up in a panic, and walked towards the clothes rail.

He said to himself, "Although this Mount Ci is uniquely endowed with greenery, natural underground palaces, holy places for cultivation, etc., it is also very strange. Except for Xinyi Mountain, there is a magnolia flower, and there is a plum forest in Wumei Mountain. The rest of the place is hard to find." See the flowers blooming."

"All the beauty is for you."

Seeing that he turned his back knowingly, Zhijin immediately put on his coat.

Zhong Yan didn't realize it for a while, "Flowers are rare because I am romantic and passionate? No way..."

"You are so good-looking that you make those flowers feel ashamed and don't want to bloom."

He listened and laughed deafeningly...

Wushan, Gushan, always feel that the names of these two mountains are very desolate, she can't help but think of a sentence, Wuzi is lonely.

Compared with Luotang Mountain, the night walk in Wushan Mountain is still a bit less interesting. It’s not that it’s not beautiful, but it’s just that there is no small clear pool and Qionghua by the pool, less exaggeration, and a kind of excitement that seems to be surrounded by people.

In particular, the bright lights of those night walks are reflected on the pool water, giving birth to another kind of breathtaking beauty, which makes people feel that they should see the eternity at the end of the world.

Qionghua, which blooms undefeatedly by the pool, blooms in the morning and dies in the evening, repeats itself, and is constantly reborn, and the transition of life is extremely calm.

At that time, she was sitting under the Qionghua tree, drinking the stolen wine, drunkenly watching the night walk all over the mountains and plains accompanied by the flying Qionghua petals, moving forward silently, she was very sad and lonely, but because she had no tears, Unable to let go of those melancholy, the fire on his forehead burned fiercely at the slightest touch.

She wanted to leave very much, but she didn't know the way, and she didn't know what the world was like, and where to go.

Some little monsters in the valley say that it is better to go to a place closer to the human world, because the human world is very interesting, and everyone's life is short, so they live very attentively, do many things to make life more interesting, and like to gather together Together.They have clans, surnames, and blood ties. In short, their lives are a kind of continuation and succession.

It is a chance for a demon to obtain a human form, so as a person in the demon world, one must know how to deal with the grief of not having a sense of belonging and the misfortune that may end alone in a long life.

But the advantage of demons compared to human beings is that there are no rules and constraints, and they will not be arranged by anyone. Perhaps this is also the freedom that mortals dream of.

"It's windy in this mountain, don't catch the cold." Zhong Yan conjured up a cloak and put it on for her.

"Why do you care so much about me?" Zhijin has always wanted to ask this question, she always felt that Zhongyan seemed to have known her a long time ago, and even let her take Hesheng, and be tied to her life. premeditated.

"I……"

"Do you have unspeakable difficulties?"

He nodded and struggled, "Will you believe me once?"

"Do I still have a way out... You have made a choice for me."

Zhong Yan lowered his head, admitting that when he first saw Jin, he fed her Hesheng without hesitation, and even kissed her along the way... But it was still difficult for him to reveal his villainous heart.

"Actually, you might as well just say it straight. After all, I'm still in Mount Cishan. If I find Youyuan someday, I'll leave."

Seeing his silence for a long time, Zhijin couldn't help thinking, what kind of big secret is there.

"Zhong Yan, you are a demon venerable, and I am just a little demon, what can you not say in front of me?"

Several Xiaoxing flew beside them curiously, Zhong Yan put one of them together in the palm of his hand, and slowly spread it out, like a plucked star.

He watched the Xiao Xing fly away, and said something incomprehensible, "Every time in the world, sky lanterns will be released to pray for blessings. I once let one go. At that time, my wish was that I would not ask Longevity, but no regrets."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhijin was confused by what he heard, so he chased after him and grabbed his shirt, "I can't speak well if you have something to say, your words are so profound that I really can't understand them."

He stopped, wanting to say something more, but his throat was blocked, and he strode forward as if fleeing.

Zhijin was a little annoyed, really speechless, he was the one who brought him to Wushan without sleep, but now he just walked away, wanting to leave her alone.

"You must be sick. You brought me here in the middle of the night and left without speaking clearly. What are you going to do?"

With all her strength, she pushed him hard, forgetting how a little fire demon herself could easily push the demon master.

Zhong Yan tightly hugged Zhi Jin who was about to fall after being rebounded by his mana.

"I don't want to regret it."

"What do you regret?" She left his arms and asked again.

"nothing……"

She took his hand and looked straight into Zhong Yan's eyes that could make people feel emotional, "Is it a matter of life and death?"

Zhong Yan said in horror, "How do you know?"

Apart from life and death, she really couldn't think of anything else that could make Zhong Yan with such a deep-skinned face unable to open his mouth.That day, he asked her to obey He Sheng, and said those words of life and death, she knew that Zhong Yan, as the demon king of Cishan, could not do such a thing for no reason.

She even suspected that it might not be a coincidence that she went to Mount Cishan, but a deliberate trap.Then... the rush that appeared halfway and invited her to accompany her... no, hasty is a good deer demon, Zhijin prevents himself from further investigation.

"What exactly do you want from me?"

"I don't want anything..." he said timidly.

"Pass so much effort to let me stay by your side, and eat Hesheng, you should ask for something." Zhijin sighed, and then said, "I only care about one person in this world, if what you want doesn't hurt me Life, I can give it to you."

Zhongyan locked Zhijin's shoulders with his hands, and spoke in displeasure, "Yes, I was the one who lured you to Mount Ci by all means, and I was the one who forced you to eat Hesheng, but I really... hesitated for a long time, I ...I don't want to hurt you..."

"Hurting me...hesitating...why do you hesitate? Tell me."

"I really want to use you, but that day... I saw you burst into tears because some ghost servants told about Changdi, I..."

He was in a little pain, "There are many passionate people in this world, and there are also many ruthless people, but I only see you as a person who is deeply affectionate."

With tears in his eyes, Zhong Yan finally said the words that had tortured him for too long, "The trick is to make you fall in love with me, and then willingly bleed for me."
