After returning to the Jiang manor, I went straight to the point. "What do you want to do tomorrow?"
Liniang gazed into the distance. After a long while, she lowered her head and said in a calm voice, "Since he wants my life so much, just give it to him."
I frowned, but before I could say anything, Hu Meng, who was beside me, jumped 30 feet into the air. How could this be allowed? Didn't you say that you were going to perform? Why did you change your mind? " The little girl tightly clenched her fists, "Why would there be a person like that …" "Just … just like that?"
Liniang lowered her head, not saying a word.
Hu Meng became even more anxious, "Why don't you leave now?" Leave this place with us and return to the mountains, is that not good? "
I held the little fox's fist, indicating that she should be patient.
"Liniang, I have something I don't understand."
"Fellow Daoist, please ask."
"What was the purpose of you wholeheartedly cultivating in the depths of the mountains?"
The plain-clothed woman raised her head; her eyes were filled with confusion. She thought for a while before slowly replying, "It's for one day, to be able to cultivate to the Great Dao, one must ascend to the Immortal World."
I also slowed my tone and asked in the softest tone possible, "Then why did you give up now?"
Liniang tilted her head slightly as if she was trying to remember something. After a long while, she asked, "Why did you give up?"
I stared into her eyes. "Since you've been working hard for so long …" After a pause, he added, "Besides, you no longer have anything to worry about in the mortal world. Why not return and continue cultivating?"
Liniang pondered for a long time before smiling bitterly, "Fellow Daoist, have you ever admired a person with all your heart?"
This question was rather difficult.
It is said that ever since I began to understand things, I, the Little Fish monster, grew up in Eighteen Pit Creek. Any cultivator in the world would know that eighteen caves are as beautiful as the clouds. For example, my good friend Flaming Fire, or for example, Thirteen Nights, they are all one in a million; however, aside from the Lord of the Cave, I haven't seen a second man in eighteen passages. Even if he wanted to admire her, he wouldn't be able to find her.
Afterwards, I went to the Twelve Palaces of Karakorum and met a man, whether it was the demon Yan Jing, the Kirin Clan's Jing Yao, or the Dragon Clan's master. Although his appearance was outstanding and his cultivation was high, he was still a high and mighty person.
So, I really can't answer for a while. Because of the word "adoration", I have never experienced the Little Fish Demoness before, and I don't want to lie to others.
Liniang saw that I didn't answer and didn't care either, so she just said, "When I first met Mister Jiang, he came to the mountain to gather herbs for his mother. He accidentally slipped into the valley and I happened to meet him there, so I saved his life while he was recuperating in the valley. At that time, Jiang Lang was gentle, refined, and talented. I spent time with him every day and felt that he was truly different from the masses. He spoke with such gentleness and courtesy, and knew so many interesting things … "In the end, I always wanted to see him, even if it's just one more time."
Was this considered the long-lived love of legend? I put my hand to my chin and listened.
"Later on, Jiang Lang's injuries recovered, and he said he wanted to go back. Feeling very unhappy at the time, I got into a ruckus with him and left the valley alone. But all day and all night he went looking for me in the valley, neither eating nor drinking nor sleeping, and three days later, when my anger was gone, he took me by the hand and said that he would take me as his wife. At that time, I only felt sad and happy in my heart, sad is why do I abandon him so willfully to leave? Delighted that he also had me in his heart. "At that time, I felt that no matter what I did for him, I would be willing …"
As she said this, although there was a gentle smile on her face, there was a hint of lingering desolation in her voice. When I heard this, I also felt a bit uncomfortable — at that time, Li-Niang never thought that things would turn out like this between them, right? The so-called world was always changing, nothing out of the ordinary.
"When we came back from the valley, we were married. He's always been good to me. In the past year or so, I've had a vague feeling that if I could watch the sunset like this with him, then even if I gave up everything I had before, as long as I grew older with him, I would still be satisfied. Who would have thought that in the end, it would turn out this way … I thought, a play, I have been to my mountain years. However, after hearing what he said just now, I suddenly feel that I don't care about anything else from now on. What cultivation, what great dao, these are all meaningless … "
As Liniang spoke to here, tears finally fell from her reddened eyes. She placed a hand on her heart, as if the pain was too great for her to bear. "Why did he do this to me? Is it really that important to be human or demon? "
I couldn't answer her question, so I kept silent.
Hu Meng seemed to be shocked as well. After a long while, she opened her mouth and gently said, "Then we still don't need to …" "No need …"
Liniang shook her head, tears streaming down her face. A resolute smile appeared on her face. "I've made up my mind." As he said this, he spread out his hand. On his palm was a simple wooden hairpin. "Tomorrow, after Liniang goes, may I trouble the two Fellow Daoists to destroy this thing as well."
In the dead of night.
I sat on the roof of the main house of the Jiang manor and held the wooden hairpin that Li Niang had given me during the day. At first glance, the hairpin was unremarkable, and its entire body was pitch black.
"I knew it. You're here again."
I turned around and saw Jing Yuan jumping up and landing in a corner of the roof. As his black robe fluttered, he smiled and walked closer with a graceful bearing. He completely suppressed the clear moonlight that was all over the sky.
At this moment, I shouldn't have thought of anything else, but for some reason, a towering figure vaguely appeared in my mind. It was the same black pupils, the same smile — they were somewhat similar, but there were many differences between them.
In a trance, I stretched out my hand and broke the layers of fog, wanting to say that name, that name that was already in my mouth … However, the next moment, he was interrupted by a gentle call, "Qing Yin?"
I snapped out of my stupor. In that instant, I felt my mind shake so much that I didn't even know where I was.
"What's the matter with you?"
Jing Yao bent down with obvious anxiety in his black eyes. His long, slightly cold fingers caressed my forehead and his brows creased slightly. "Why are you sweating so much?"
I didn't know how to answer. He was the one who was standing in front of me, but he wasn't the one that entered my eyes. If he thought about it more carefully, he wouldn't be able to recall exactly who he saw.
"I... "Nothing."
As I spoke, I instinctively leaned back, avoiding his hand.
Jing Yao's body froze for a moment. Then, he smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "Is that so …." He turned his gaze towards the wooden hairpin in my hand and raised his eyebrows. "Eh, this thing …" He took a close look at it and asked, "Could it be the Pear Tree Demon's Dao Heart Wood?"
After the plant and wood forms were transformed, the original body would not be able to assimilate with the original body, so the most important part of the original body would be taken out and carried on the body. The most important part was the "Dao-heart Wood", which was equivalent to the inner cores of other races. If the "Dao Heart Wood" was not destroyed, then his main body would not be destroyed. Even if Liniang's corporeal body was destroyed, there would still come a day when she would be reborn. However, from the looks of it, Liniang's heart was already as dead as ashes, which was why she gave him that order.
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel dejected, but I still nodded. "Friend's eyesight is good."
"Jing Yao." His voice was gentle, but there was a peculiar firmness in it.
Why does everyone like to be called by their real names these days?
I blinked and decided not to comment on this point. I just followed his instructions and called out with a smile, "Jing Yao."
He then asked, "Why would she entrust this item to you?"
I told him more or less about what happened after we returned to the Jiang manor. Finally, I remembered something, "Oh yeah, that woman from the red house?"
"I took her around the town a few times. Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she gave up and went back by herself." Jing Yao's expression was calm and his tone was even more flat, as if the words he said had nothing to do with him.
In any case, I accept his favor. However, when he thought about the woman's background, he frowned again. "She is …"
"It's just an unconventional Devil Snake."
The Devil Snake was real, but it might not necessarily be in a bad climate.
Looking at her appearance, her cultivation had only been around for a hundred years, but because of the things she carried with her, even the Li Niang whose cultivation was higher than her couldn't tell her background. And did the appearance of the Devil Snake have something to do with young master Jiang's repudiation of his wife?
The best way to do that was to rely on the red house.
However, the Snake Demon is already on guard and I'm not adept at bewitching techniques. Whether I can get an answer from her is unknown as it will only be troublesome if I rashly rush over. Thus, after much consideration, I decided to give up on this idea for the time being.
On the other hand, although Liniang was determined to die, I always wanted a chance to change her mind. Hu Meng also had that intention. After all, it wasn't easy for the Grass and Wood Race to cultivate. Yet, young master Jiang was heartless, and Liniang had such an emotional and emotional temper …
For a moment, even I couldn't figure it out.
"Jing Yao."
"Hmm?"
"Tell me, what is love in this world?"
From Karakorum to this little town, whether it's Hu, Liu, San or Liniang, they were all like moths to a flame. They all lived and died for it, unhesitatingly — was this really as charming as God's charm?
"This is also different for different people, right?" Jing Yao's voice was a bit uncertain.
"Why?"
The man sitting beside her was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I once had a fiancee."
Hm? I recalled what Bi Thirteen had said to me and immediately reacted. I started to think about whether I should go get a stool and some snacks.
"She …" Very good. I really like her... But at that time, I didn't know what I was thinking.
I blinked and saw that he was looking at me with a complicated look of regret, uneasiness, anxiety, and a mixture of emotions that finally gave him a sense of fragility — when had he ever looked so grand, so elegant, so superior, since I had known him? For a moment, I was stunned as well.
"She did many things for me, until I lost her …" "Later on, I finally understood that there are some things you can't let go of that you think you can give up on. "Because I have always been by my side, I did not cherish it …"
Seeing his gloomy expression, I really want to advise him, Fellow Daoist, if you lose your fiancee, go and find her. However, after thinking about it, these words seemed very inappropriate from what I had said, so I did not say it out loud.
"Clear Sound."
"Hmm?"
"Tell me, if she were to find out about this one day, would she forgive me?"
I am very conflicted. Dao Friend Jing Yao, your words have no beginning and end, how do you expect me to answer? After a moment of consideration, he smiled and said, "This... I really don't know. Perhaps you could tell me about the character of your fiancée? "
That day, Yuichi did not answer my question. He just sat with me for the whole night in silence.
— From then on, I swore I would never go out on the roof again!
Liniang gazed into the distance. After a long while, she lowered her head and said in a calm voice, "Since he wants my life so much, just give it to him."
I frowned, but before I could say anything, Hu Meng, who was beside me, jumped 30 feet into the air. How could this be allowed? Didn't you say that you were going to perform?
