fairy wife

Overcast clouds slowly piled up, passing silently across the mountaintop.

The rain was pouring down.

Qiuqiu leaned against the window, and she opened the window several times to look at the door of the quiet room at the end of the corridor, but the door was always closed.

What was great uncle and master talking about?She was curious as hell.

That must be a big, big secret.

Qiuqiu sat under the lamp, resting her chin in her hand, and fiddled with the Lishui sword.

The sword light circulated and circled between her fingers, like a curl of green smoke.

Qiuqiu was in a daze.

Lishui Sword... Lishui Sword Sect...

After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened, and Master Yuxia pushed it open and walked out.

She has long sleeves, and her every move is extremely elegant and moving.

Before Qiuqiu had time to turn her head back, Master Yuxia had already seen her.

Qiuqiu was a little stiff, as if she was caught by her master for doing something wrong before.

Master Yuxia didn't seem angry, she smiled slightly and beckoned to Qiuqiu.

"Master."

Qiuqiu pushed open the door and walked over quickly.

She stood in front of Daoist Yuxia a little nervously.

"Sorry, I didn't want to eavesdrop..."

"I know, your apprentice is not that kind of person."

She just raised her hand and stroked Qiuqiu's hair. Qiuqiu was surprised to find that Master Yuxia's expression became relieved.

"Master?"

Master Yuxia smiled: "It's okay, your great uncle told me something about the past."

Qiuqiu looked at Master in a daze, it seemed that she was not qualified to know this secret.

It is often said that the more you know.The more responsibilities I take on, the more space I can accommodate happiness in my heart will be squeezed and narrowed accordingly.

Qiuqiu thought, that is indeed the case.

It had been a long time since she had thought about Dabai and Erbai who stayed at the Seventh Peak, and it had been a long time since she had simply enjoyed the happiness brought by delicious food.In the past, she even enjoyed the blue sky and the flowing stream, but now she no longer has that mood.

Is this the price of growth?

"Tomorrow, Immortal Fujia and I will go back to Xiuyuan Mountain."

Qiuqiu clutched her sleeve tightly: "I'll go too."

"It has nothing to do with how many people there are, and when encountering inner demons. Everyone can only fight alone, and others can't help."

"But there must be more than demons on the mountain." Qiuqiu would not be so easily persuaded: "And it may not be demons you encountered this time."

Master Yuxia couldn't help but slander, it's really not easy to lie to a child when he grows up.It’s still good when I was a child, my little face was round and round, my eyes were big and watery, and when I looked at people, I always looked blank and innocent.

Yuxia really thought.She has begun to miss the past repeatedly.Maybe she has really lived long enough, or, in the long past, there are only a few fragments of purely memorable happy times.

"This matter is not negotiable." Master Yuxia looked into her eyes: "Do you still remember what I told you? Master Fujia once gave me a hint, and we also successfully found Master Fujin. This shows that we must We can get through this calamity smoothly."

Qiuqiu narrowed her eyes.

Don't try to fool her with this.

Master Fujia gave a reminder, but the reminder did not guarantee that Xiuyuan Mountain would survive this catastrophe.There is no guarantee that Master Yuxia will survive in peace.

On the contrary, Master Yuxia's calmness, which was different from before, gave Qiuqiu an ominous premonition.

There is always a feeling that maybe after today's farewell, she will never see Master again.

Reverend Fujin and Reverend Yuxia might plan to investigate just the two of them and leave her behind.In this way, Xiuyuan Mountain always has the last heir in the world, and it doesn't mean that the inheritance will be cut off.

Qiuqiu will not follow their wishes.Follow this arrangement.

Seeing her rare stubbornness, Master Yuxia laughed out loud.

Qiuqiu did not guess wrong.

Master Fujin and Master Yuxia's worst plan.It is to burn jade and stone together.

If real Fujin could do it alone, he would not tell her this secret.

If possible, Master Fujin certainly wants the sect to keep one more person, a force, and an inheritance.

But he had already tried once, and he really couldn't reach the main peak alone.

Daoist Yuxia is very open-minded, she has already died once, and now this life is picked up.

The only thing she can't bear to part with is Qiuqiu.

She felt that time was too short, and she still had a lot to teach Qiuqiu.

"Come," Daoist Yuxia took her apprentice's hand, just like she had led her to kneel down in front of the portrait of the patriarch to worship her teacher, and led her forward.

Qiuqiu felt heavy in her heart.

Master must have made up his mind, even if she can stop it once, what about the next time?

It is impossible for her to stare at Master all the time.

If Xiuyuan Mountain really fell into the worst situation now, it might be the only way to make Zongmen completely disappear from this world.

If someone had to do this, it could only be Master Fujin, Master, or her.

But the current situation is that she knows too little about the Zongmen, and she doesn't even know anything about the Great Mountain Protector Formation. Even if she is allowed to go, she doesn't know what to do.

"Things in the world are always born and reincarnated. Sometimes death is not the end, but a new beginning."

Qiuqiu held the real Yuxia's hand tightly.

"Master, don't leave me."

"Master will not leave you." Daoist Yuxia assured, "You have always been open-minded, so you shouldn't be stubborn on this matter."

If open-mindedness means watching the master go to die, Qiuqiu would rather not be open-minded all his life.

But she just held Master Yuxia's hand silently, without saying anything.

The drizzle has gradually stopped, and the air washed by the rain is extraordinarily fresh, with the aroma of soil.

Two unknown moths flapped their wings and flew out tentatively.They fly extremely low.The air was so heavy with moisture that their wings must have felt heavy too.

The two moths fluttered and danced around them.

Daoist Yuxia stretched out her hand, and the moth was attracted by her peaceful aura, and landed on her fingertips, its wings fluttering slightly.

"You see, these moths, their life span is only a short dozen days, which is too short in our opinion. It's a pity. But for them, this is a complete life. They have already done what they want What they have done, or have already flown to where they want to go, since every journey has a beginning, it must have an end."

She flicked her finger lightly, and the moth flew up reluctantly.Fly towards the depths of the herb bushes.

Qiuqiu shook her head stubbornly: "Even if you tell me a hundred reasons, I won't agree."

"Okay." Master Yuxia looked at her with a smile: "Master promised you."

"Really?" Qiuqiu couldn't believe it.

Just now Master acted... well, so righteous, seeing through everything, how could he change his mind because of her reluctance?

She couldn't believe her ears: "Master, is what you said true?"

"Yes." Daoist Yuxia nodded, "Master has promised you."

But this time.Master is about to renege on his promise.

Qiuqiu is still too young, although she is trying to grow up.But the time is still too short, she is too fragile, too immature.

The burden left on her was too heavy.

Master Yuxia thought, in fact, inheritance is not that important.

She swallowed some words that she wanted to ask.

Just let her live a little easier.

Just now she told Qiuqiu a bunch of things about birth and death, and the principles of reincarnation.How could it be her turn not to look away when it was put on the matter of the sect?

Thousands of years ago.There was no Lishui Sword School in the world.From scratch, to becoming famous and well-known, but as she told Qiuqiu, everything will have an end, and the Lishui Sword Sect is the same.

There is no need to force Qiuqiu to pass her on.

Qiuqiu still can't believe that Master Yuxia really agreed to her.But Qiuqiu also thought very well, anyway, she followed Master closely and watched over her, making it impossible for her to go, after a long time, she will definitely come up with other ways, and others will try their best to stop it.

She is not afraid of sacrificing her life for benevolence, but there is not only one way to achieve the goal, there must be other ways to succeed.

The night was so quiet that even the insects and birds gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Master, I know...it's naive and selfish of me to do this. But let me watch you leave...I can't do it." Qiuqiu took the hand of Master Yuxia, and the two walked along the path between the medicine gardens. Going forward: "Sacrificing your life can always be said to be easy and great when it is placed on others. But it is your turn to realize how difficult it is. Master, please slow down. After a while, let's think of a way together... There must be another way."

Maybe there is a way without sacrifice, maybe those classmates can still be saved.

"Hmm." Daoist Yuxia bent down, picked a small lavender flower from a medicinal herb branch, leaned over, and inserted the small flower in Qiuqiu's hair: "Mmm, it's pretty pretty." Yes. I remember that when you first went up the mountain, your senior sisters always treated you like a doll, braided a small braid for you, and tied beads on a string of coral beans, which made you ding ding dong dong every time you moved. Sound like a cash cow."

Qiuqiu hummed.

"Master, do you miss Senior Sisters? I miss them very much. Senior Sister Jingxin is so kind to me, just like my own sister. So is Senior Sister Jingyi. If she comes back again, I will definitely please her twice as much. She's whining all day long."

"How can you not think about it?" Daoist Yuxia said slowly: "I miss your senior sisters and the others very much. When Jingxin first came to me, she was only a little older than you. She lost her parents. When she first arrived on the mountain, I can't sleep at night..."

Qiuqiu listened carefully.

but……

But she clearly felt that there was something...

Not quite.

Where is it?

But when she turned her head, Master was beside her.

"Jingyi is actually a bit impatient and competitive, but she doesn't have any bad intentions..."

Qiuqiu suddenly thought of something wrong.

Why is it still not light?

What time is it now?Why is it still pitch black?

This night...how could it be so long?

"Master?" Qiuqiu eagerly grabbed Yuxia's real hand.

Master Yuxia didn't realize it, and continued what she just said: "If I had known that the time we spent together was so short, I would not have retreated and practiced so frequently, but spent more time with you and accompanied you to study. , practicing sword..."

She turned to look at Qiuqiu.

"Master?"

Master Yuxia still smiled at her.

Qiuqiu looked around in panic.

The surroundings are too quiet, the quietness is wrong, why doesn't the sky light up?Where are the people from Wulou Mountain?Where is Shi'er?Here... what is this place? (To be continued.
