Half-life immortal

Chapter 54 Unseasonable red plum petals falling

He was slightly taken aback, hesitant to speak, hesitated for a long time before he managed to utter a few words: "...Sorry, there won't be a third time."

Thinking about it now, her two life-and-death dangers were all because of him. If he hadn't gone to find Ziyingzhu last time, and if those killers hadn't come to kill him this time, Xue Qinglan wouldn't have been in danger.

She didn't respond to this, but gently stretched her arms and said: "I slept for too long, I'm so tired. And I seem to have had a long, long nightmare, I don't want to lie down anymore, I want to get up and move around .”

"Okay, let's go for a walk." Feng Yutian was quite accommodating to her on this point, she could do whatever she wanted.

She put on a light plain dress, her black hair naturally hung down on her shoulders, her small face was plain white, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows, which really gave her the feeling of a sickly beauty.

She followed his footsteps and went out to the small courtyard. Seeing that the lights in the other rooms had been turned off, she asked softly, "Is Senior Brother Xi already asleep?"

Feng Yutian said: "It should be, a lot of things have happened in the city recently."

Speaking of this, she remembered the series of things that happened before, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.The sky was covered by the large protective formation, and the starry sky could not be seen, only the mysterious formation talismans flashing from time to time replaced the starlight.

She should have wanted to ask a lot, such as what happened in the city these days, what the mysterious organization was planning, and how Monk Huineng dealt with it, etc., but she didn't rush to ask these questions, but regretted He sighed: "It's a pity, I wanted to thank Senior Brother Xi first, since he has already fallen asleep, let's do it tomorrow."

Feng Yutian looked at her profile, only felt that she seemed to be a little different, became... melancholy, or she just hadn't recovered from the nightmare?
She was walking lightly in the small courtyard, when she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and asked, "Senior brother, have you imposed restrictions?"

Feng Yutian nodded and said, "Can you see it?"

She shook her head: "I just have this feeling."

After a little thought, he understood why she sensed a restriction that she shouldn't have noticed, and said: "Your spiritual consciousness has grown a lot, so it can be regarded as a combination of good and bad. Recently, Yongchang City has not been peaceful, and more and more Many people are missing, the entire imperial city disappeared yesterday, senior brother and I were worried that we would be attacked again, so we set up restrictions just in case."

She thought about it and said, "The entire imperial city...disappeared?"

Yongchang City is the capital of the country, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, this imperial city occupies almost half of the space in Yongchang City. It is a big deal to make the entire imperial city disappear out of thin air.What exactly is the Da Luo royal family planning?
Feng Yutian pointed to the outside and said, "You want to go out?"

She shook her head lightly, and said, "Forget it, Senior Brother Xi will be alarmed."

He said: "It's okay, I'll take you out, the senior brother won't notice."

As he spoke, he took her little hand, and the gentle aura was transmitted from his palm, covering her whole body, temporarily covering her aura.Then he pulled her uprightly and walked out from the main entrance. When her body passed by the door, a wave-like light appeared, and then disappeared.

Xue Qinglan was slightly startled, thinking: He would take my hand?This is really rare...

She didn't refuse, she just let go of this little idea after being a little confused, and asked strangely after she came out: "Didn't it mean that there will be danger outside? Wouldn't it be good for us to just run out without saying a word?" ?”

He explained: "Sooner or later, talking in the yard will disturb the senior brother. Besides, we are just taking precautions, not as perilous as you imagined."

She let go of his hand without leaving a trace, and walked casually in the alley.

The whole Yongchang City was not as lively as when she came, but deserted and deserted. Of course there was a reason why it was quiet at midnight. I'm afraid there were not a few people who disappeared suddenly in the city.Who would dare to come out to hang out in the middle of the night at a time like this?
She stopped suddenly as she was walking, looked up at a beautiful red plum tree not far in front of her, and asked in surprise, "Is this a red plum tree? Does it bloom at this season?"

She passed by here a few days ago and has never seen a red plum tree here. How could there be such a lush red plum tree in just a few days, and it blooms so brightly?

Following her voice, a gust of cool wind swept across the face, blowing a few petals of red plums and slowly falling, like very red snowflakes, extraordinarily enchanting.

Feng Yutian walked behind her, looked up at the red plum tree, and said: "Recently, there are many red plums blooming in the city, maybe this is the climate here in Da Luo, and the red plums bloom earlier."

Xue Qinglan reached out to catch a petal of red plum falling in the wind, the small petals lay so thin and lonely on her white palm.When she didn't pay attention for a while, the red plum petals were blown up by the autumn wind again and drifted away into the distance.

She watched the petals of red plums fluttering in the night wind, flying far, far, and finally disappeared behind the eaves, out of sight.

"It's so beautiful..." She suddenly sighed with admiration, and the melancholy and loneliness in her eyes disappeared for a while.

He whispered, "Do you like red plums?"

"No," she explained, "I like all the beautiful things in the world. Perhaps people, for things that are completely different from themselves, will easily envy them. Just like you..."

She turned around suddenly, put her palm lightly on his chest, closed her eyes to feel it, and said, "Your aura has a nice smell."

He knew that her spiritual consciousness had increased, and that the whole world might be different in her eyes, so he couldn't help asking curiously, "What does my aura smell like?"

She thought about it seriously, seemed to be choosing her words, and said, "It's a bit like snow, cool, but very fresh and clean."

This evaluation was somewhat unexpected to him. He looked at her and said, "Like snow? Does snow have a smell?"

She looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why not? The tastelessness of snow is the best taste. If you don't believe it, you will know when you taste it when it snows."

"Alright..." He didn't argue with her about these useless arguments. If he really argued, he would lose the battle sooner or later. It's better to admit defeat early at the beginning.

She turned around and continued to look at the red plum tree. Her big bright eyes became more and more sparkling in the night, and the whole world became infinitely clear in her eyes, as if her mind was already extremely clear without using the Wuxiang Scripture.

She looked at the red plum tree, while Feng Yutian looked at her.Time passed quietly like this, only the night wind blowing from time to time and the falling red plum petals were timing them.

"I……"

"I……"

After a few minutes of silence, the two of them spoke at the same time, as if they both wanted to say something.

Xue Qinglan opened her mouth and then kept silent, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say first.

Feng Yutian was actually hesitating whether to speak or not, seeing this, he said: "You speak first."

She lowered her head slightly, saluted politely and said, "Senior Brother, thank you. If it wasn't for you and Senior Brother Xi, I would have died long ago."

He stretched out his hands and said, "No, what we can do is limited, and it is mainly up to you. And you have already thanked me, so there is no need to thank you again."

She said: "Brother, do you know that after seeing all the fear and pain I have experienced in this life, I really don't want to wake up again. At that time, I even thought, just keep sleeping like that, and never wake up." fine."

He listened to these words and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to put them on his lips.

She didn't care about his thoughts, but continued to pace slowly: "But I'm still too greedy for life and afraid of death, and then I wonder if there is anything I want to do, must do, must be me... …If I can find such a reason, I will wake up and look at the world again."

Feng Yutian asked timely: "Then you must have found it, what is it?"

She looked up at the night sky, and said: "You can't see the moon here, but it is there, it should be a crescent moon. After three days, it will hide and run to the other side of the night, and on that day, there will be a moon." Individuals need me."

He looked at her back silently, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart: So she came back for this reason... No wonder the first thing she asked when she opened her eyes was when she would arrive in Shuoyue.

The reason why the master arranged for her to go down the mountain with him was naturally for her to stabilize his fierceness during the new moon. This is her most important task, and it is also the reason why Feng Yutian needs her.However, when he used the illusion to enter her illusion regardless of the danger, he had already forgotten about the ferocity. If she hadn't proposed it, even he himself would have forgotten that three days later would be the night of the new moon.

She smiled softly, and turned her head to show him a bright smile. This was the first time she smiled after waking up: "I did think so just now, but now I don't think so. You see, the little one Even a red plum tree is so beautiful, there are so many beautiful things in this world, how can I only see the dark side and not the beautiful side?"

He looked at her smile for a while, but she didn't notice it. The white boots kicked the stones under her feet, and said: "I still want to cultivate immortality, survive three disasters and nine calamities, become a carefree immortal, and spread my footprints all over the world." Six realms, meet friends from different realms, and do a lot of meaningful things.”

Feng Yutian nodded and said: "Okay, you will definitely succeed."

She fiddled with the broken hair on her temples with her hands, and said, "Is that all? Is there anything else to say?"

He was taken aback and said, "What else do you want to hear?"

She wrinkled her small nose, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I'm the one who asked you, how can you ask back? When did the brother learn from it?"

"This……"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." She returned to her usual appearance, and said with a smile: "It's your turn, what did you just say?"

He half clenched his right hand and put it on his lips, coughed a few times, and said, "Junior Sister, do you still remember that you said you had a wish when you were half unconscious?"

He had always been serious, when Xue Qinglan asked him to laugh when he was dying, he couldn't do that, so he promised to tell her the reason.So he has been thinking about how to tell her these two days, but after thinking about it, he still doesn't know how to speak.But since he promised, he can't just miss the appointment...

Xue Qinglan asked puzzledly: "Wish? Have I said it? What wish do I have?"

He asked nervously, "You don't remember? Really?"

She blinked, pouted and said, "Quickly tell me, what the hell is going on!"

He thought: She was in a bad state at the time, since it was a flashback, it is normal for her memory to be confused.Maybe I really forgot about that conversation.Since she doesn't even remember it, it's easy...

He breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and said, "It's okay, I just remembered wrong."

She looked at him suspiciously, pointed at the tip of his nose with her slender finger, and said, "You want to renege? What's the matter?"

He coughed twice again, raised his eyes to the sky, and said: "It's getting late, let's go back quickly, or brother should be worried."

After speaking, he was very self-aware and walked back first, not to give Xue Qinglan a chance to continue asking.

After he walked away, Xue Qinglan held her chin with one hand and whispered to herself, "Wish? Could it be that I asked him to laugh? Wasn't that a dream? Strange..."

Her voice of talking to herself was too low, Feng Yutian who was walking in front didn't hear her.It turned out that she didn't forget the conversation that day, but regarded it as one of the dreams.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being, it's not a big deal anyway.She quickly caught up with Feng Yutian, but just as she was about to speak, Feng Yutian turned around and said to her: "By the way, Junior Sister, that young master of the Fang family is still living with us."

"Huh?! He's still there?" Xue Qinglan was shocked. In fact, if Feng Yutian hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Fang Suihan.

She thought about it, and felt that she should not owe Fang Fang anything other than the few thousand taels of silver, and said, "What is he still doing here? Ah, it must be a debt collector, right?"

"Debt collection?" He found her reaction strange, and explained, "No, he said he was worried about you."

She raised her hands and smoothed the broken hair from her temples behind her ears, lowered her head and said, "What do I have to worry about? Besides, I have no relationship with him, so it's not his turn to worry about it, right? I'm just being sentimental."

He had been puzzled for a long time, and said: "Junior sister, what is your relationship with that young master of the Fang family? He seems to... care about you very much."

"What's the relationship..." She rolled her eyes, thinking about how to answer.

To be honest, it doesn't seem very good, isn't this ruining my own fame?Telling lies, it doesn't seem very good, if the lie is exposed, it will be too embarrassing.

Since this is the case, then neither tell the truth nor tell lies, just fool it!In any case, her eloquence is superb, and such a small matter will not trouble her.

She smiled and said: "Oh, you know that I have been wandering since I was a child and have been to many places. He was the one I met in a certain city before. Don't look at him as a fool, he is actually not bad. This time he happened to be in Yongchang City again Encountered, by the way, did he tell you what we found?"

He nodded and said, "Well, he said it all."

"Tell me everything?" Her scalp tingled for a while.

What does "it's all said" mean?Did it also mention the scandal that she falsely claimed that Miss Sun's family had cheated him of thousands of taels?Oops, if I knew I was in the dungeon, I wouldn't admit it!

In fact, she was thinking too much. How could Fang Suihan's clumsy tongue make it clear? It would be nice if he could explain the matter of Monk Huineng and his party and the Lihe Cave clearly. He simply forgot to mention the old things.
