fairy wife

The formation outside the valley was withdrawn.

It could only be that Qiuqiu left the customs and withdrew the formation.

Guan Wei looked in the direction of the valley again, then turned and left.Dressed in black, he quickly blended into the inky night, and he could no longer see traces.

Qiuqiu felt that she had only retreated for a few days, but when she took a look at the flowering trees growing by the pool, she realized that something was wrong.

When she entered, the flower tree was in full bloom, and the dense and heavy flowers made one wonder if the tree had spent all its life-saving energy on blooming this time.

But now the tree is bare, not to mention the flowers, not even the leaves.

Qiuqiu stood under the tree and looked up. There were a few scattered yellow leaves on the top of the tree, which were blown by the wind, swayed, and fell from the branches.

Qiuqiu stretched out her hand, and the leaf fell on her palm.

The dead leaves that had lost their moisture seemed to turn into dust in her hands with a little force.

How long has it been?

Qiuqiu stepped out, and at the entrance of the valley, there was a man standing there, whose figure was all too familiar to her, and she didn't know how long he had been guarding there.

Qiuqiu walked towards him, faster and faster.

"Are you coming to wait for me?"

Shi'er nodded.

Qiuqiu first smiled at him, and then asked suspiciously: "How long have I been in seclusion?" The change of seasons made her feel surprised and at a loss.

Shi'er gave her the answer.

She retreated for a full year and four and a half months.

Qiuqiu's eyes widened slightly: "Impossible, obviously only..."

Only a few days?She couldn't remember either.

But she also knew that there was no need for Shi'er to lie to her.

But she felt that only a few days had passed.The long night.During the day when the sun rises and sets, the sky is reflected in the deep pool, she feels that only a few days and nights have passed, at most not more than a month and a half, but how can it be so long?

"This is your first retreat, and you will know it when you have it again. This is a good thing. I really hope that you will stay in it for a longer time."

Qiuqiu was speechless.

It is not unusual to retreat for a year or so, but she never thought that such a thing would happen to her.In the past, Master also used to retreat for several months at a time. I heard that some senior masters even retreated for decades, waiting for the day of departure.The changes outside are almost vicissitudes.

One year and another four months... The change of seasons outside has already made Qiuqiu feel terrified.

When she was unconscious, such a long period of time flowed from her hand, but she didn't feel it.

People always say how precious time is, that it is the most eternal and just.But Qiuqiu looked at everything around her and felt so terrified.

It seems that even time is not so reliable.It seems that someone moved the pointer of the dial by hand, making the time seem unpredictable and changeable.

What else in this world can be trusted and relied on?

They walked back all the way, Qiuqiu didn't say a word.

She leaned against Shi'er's back, looking at everything that was both familiar and unfamiliar.Even when the long-lost Fengxian Pavilion appeared in front of her eyes, she still hadn't recovered.

"You must be tired, take a good rest."

Qiuqiu nodded passively.

There are things she left behind in Fengxian Pavilion.Qiuqiu stood at the door for a while, feeling very subtle in her heart.

She felt as if she had gone to school.Then now after school, I came back, and I only experienced a few classes and a few hours in the middle.

But the reality is in front of us.Rounding up, she has been away from this house for a year and a half.

She felt as if she had traveled through more than a year.

How long has it been?Qiuqiu touched the half-read book she had put on the desk. It was quite familiar. She still remembered which pages and lines she had read.Fingers just touched the pages.It immediately occurred to her that this book had been away from her for hundreds of days.Look at everything in the house again.Qiuqiu sat down by the window.

She embarked on this path very early, but until today, she has not completely gotten used to the changes brought about by cultivation.

Dabai poked his head out of the window, then happily jumped towards Qiuqiu, jumping all the way to her lap.

Qiuqiu hugs Dabai to see its excitement and attachment.

She felt that she had only been away for a few days, but to Dabai, she had been away for more than a year.

Qiuqiu touched its soft fur and twirled its ears as before.

"I'm sorry, Dabai."

If she knew that a retreat would take so long, she would definitely make more and more comprehensive arrangements for Dabai.

Erbai took the little furballs to look out the window.

No, you can't call them furballs anymore.They have grown up a lot, although they are not as exaggerated as Dabai and Erbai, but during the time Qiuqiu left, they have all grown up, with pairs of gem-like red eyes looking at her.They formed a circle around her, crowded close together, indescribably close.

Erbai puts his head against Qiuqiu's hand, motioning for her to hug it, his intention to compete with Dabai is obvious.

Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing: "Dabai, your wife is jealous of you."

Surrounded by these spiritual pets, Qiuqiu finally felt like she had returned to reality.

When Shi'er walked into the room, Qiuqiu was leaning against the window, her eyes closed, and she seemed to be asleep.

Before Shi'er got close, a fur ball jumped out from the corner of the room, looked at him vigilantly, and then relaxed after seeing clearly, and jumped out of the window.

Far away from the window, one can see Dabai leading a group of big and small fur balls wandering among the withered yellow grass on the river beach.

Shi'er looked at Qiuqiu's calm and relaxed face, and moved her fingers lightly on her cheeks, as if she wanted to write it down with her eyes, and draw her outline and eyebrows in her heart with her fingers, so that she would not be mistaken, would not forget.

Qiuqiu opened her eyes and looked at him. Shi'er's gaze always made her feel unbearable. There was something in those dark eyes that made her feel unbearable, as if it would overwhelm her.

"Would you like to see my sword?"

Shi'er nodded.

Qiuqiu stood up, pulled Shi'er out of the door.

She bit her lip and smiled.Don't want to look too smug.

But she was proud and couldn't wait to share her experience and heart with him.

She put her finger upright next to her cheek and flicked it lightly,

Crystal drops of water escaped from her fingertips, drawing an arc of light in the air, like a silver snake circling and dancing.

"Look at the sword."

That arc of light struck towards Shi'er extremely swiftly, Shi'er didn't lift his shoulders or hands, a silver light suddenly appeared in front of him, colliding with Qiuqiu's sword light head-on.

Qiuqiu's sword light looks as crystal clear as glass.It is also as fragile as colored glaze, and after being hit head-on like this, a ball of brilliance burst out in an instant, and the sword light shattered into countless fine particles.But those spots of light didn't just disappear. Instead, they seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and condensed into a bunch again.It looks the same as before.

Qiuqiu stretched out his hand to recall Jianguang, waited until it was all in his palm, and asked with a smile, "How?"

Shi'er nodded: "Very good, better than I expected."

It's not easy to get a compliment from him.

"During retreat, I saw you." Qiuqiu sat side by side with him on the edge of the platform, and the waterfowl flew very low.The sky was overcast and looked like it was going to snow.The mountains are silent in the cold wind.For some unknown reason, two waterfowl remained on the shallow river beach.

Qiuqiu turned her head: "At that moment, I felt that we were very close, as if you were really standing in front of me."

Shi'er held her hand tightly without words.

"Is that you?"

Shi'er replied softly: "Yes."

"Did you see me then too?"

Shi'er nodded.

Qiuqiu was in a daze. She still wanted to ask something, but she felt that those were not important.

She rested her head on Shi'er's shoulder, looking at the distant mountains.She thought of the first time she saw him, when they first parted.He also thought of when they met again in Xiuyuan Mountain.

Those tiny memories of the past are strung together into a string, stacked one after another.In the end, what gradually took shape in my heart was the current him.

"I thought it was because I missed you so much that I saw hallucinations."

She was also angry with him, he didn't hear from her and didn't reply to her letter after he left, he announced the matter of their Taoist couple without informing her, he decided her future without authorization, arranged life and future for her——

She didn't forget these either.

But no way.

In her heart, the most important and closest person is still him.

He was there when building the foundation, and he was there when refining the sword. I still want to share the joy and emotion in my heart with him.

He said, please don't rush to reject the matter of the two of them, and think about it again.

In fact, there is no need to think about it.

She has no other choice.

She didn't want another option either.

"Do you remember that time you asked me?"

There was a wordless inquiry in Shi'er's eyes.

"About the two of us."

After understanding her intentions, Qiuqiu didn't want to hide it at all, nor did she want to avoid it.

"I like you too, for a long time, but I never knew..." Qiuqiu looked at him, and said briskly and seriously: "No one in this world will treat me like you, and no one will treat me like you. , walked into my heart early."

A bit of coolness smeared her face, Qiuqiu raised her head and stretched out her hand.

"Snowing."

The cool snowflakes fell on her hands, small and crystal clear.

The snow fell in bits and pieces and became denser and denser.

The fine snow stained his eyebrows, and Qiuqiu reached out to wipe it off for him.

Shi'er held her wrist, gently kissed the snowdrops on her fingertips, and then kissed her palm lightly.

The light touch made Qiuqiu almost tremble all over.

Xuezhu is cold, but his lips are hot.

The hot and cold feeling moved from the fingertips to the eyes, the tip of the nose, the cheeks, and finally landed on the lips.

It was a deep, love that he did not resort to words.

Their lives have long been closely linked, and no one or anything can stop them.Qiuqiu felt that her eyes were sore, she closed them tightly, and pressed her cheek tightly against his chest.

If there are immortals and gods in the dark, she is sincerely grateful to them for allowing the two of them to meet each other.

Snow fell on their faces, and the north wind passed quickly, mixing with snowflakes and blowing into the distance.The two waterfowl standing on the river beach chirped, spread their wings and flew up, flying towards the boundless sky.
