Bodhi

On the second day, Li Yuan did not come.

Neither did the third day.

The fourth day, the fifth day...

The isolated island-like Dragon Palace swayed steadily on the sea, the palaces overlapped, the long bridge was like a rainbow, and it was so quiet that there was hardly a trace of people. Su Xuechan drew his voice and shouted: "I'm so bored——!"

After shouting, Fu stared at the unpredictable flowing clouds and the blue sky again in a daze.

Are you angry?

That's right, he was originally an arrogant person, someone who wouldn't bow his head, and he was so seriously injured that he dismissed all the servants in the Dragon Palace. tease him...

It seems to be too much.

He hesitated in his heart, and the leaves of the tree swayed slightly. After thinking for a while, he quietly poked a root out of the soil and swam towards the bedroom.

Going around the wide open space, turning a corner, climbing up and down through the winding water, and then struggling to climb up the cloud bridge, bumping into many things along the way, and finally arrived at the destination.

Li Yuan was leaning on the couch, holding a scroll of books in his hand, his eyes swept over it casually, and suddenly heard a slight "duk-duk" sound coming from outside the vermilion lacquer-carved window, it seemed that there was a small A voice called his name.

He turned his head and saw that the crystal pane was indistinct, with only a hazy shadow reflected. When he lifted his finger, the exquisite vermilion window also opened and turned up.

"You haven't come to me for many days, are you feeling better?"

The small voice seemed to tremble when blown by the wind. The root of the tree was also slender, but there was a big jade green leaf growing on it. Unbearable to fall down.

Li Yuan tightened his grip on the book in his hand, and his heart trembled.

"I... um... I'm worried about you, so I want to come and see you. I said I was going to bully you a few days ago, but I was actually joking. Don't be angry."

Su Xuechan struggled to observe Li Yuan's expression through the roots of the tree, and saw that he was staring at him motionless, his eyes seemed a little shocked, sighed again, and continued to pamper him softly: "Then let me pinch this leaf, and then I will let you squeeze it." Would you be happier if it was an apology?"

Li Yuan looked at the leaf fluttering in the wind, but couldn't say a word.

In fact, he has been hesitating these days whether he should take the dragon's blood into his body.

He has always thought that he does not need the red line of marriage, the world is changing, and he is born to be the one who stands at the top, and love is a useless burden to him. In the past countless years, he has seen Accustomed to the fanatical love of others for him, regardless of male or female, regardless of the purpose, they all have an obsessed look. Worshiping him is like worshiping a god, but what use are those vows and unswerving vows to him?There's nothing redeeming about it other than irritating him.

Love in the world is mostly trouble.

While being distracted by the red line, he rejects the influence of the red line on himself. As Yanzi said, he is "lazy and lazy who doesn't care about anything". When the Hong family fought against Chi You, his purpose was not for the so-called common people in the world, but Chi You's ambition was too aggressive and might hinder him.

But when he suddenly saw a bright and lush greenery in the sky, his heart skipped a beat.

This feeling is very strange, like a part of his flesh and blood that he lost outside, a half-cut heart, even though it has left his body, when it is close, he can still feel the natural attraction, wanting to pull them together inextricably linked together.

Do you want to take back... dragon blood?

As soon as Li Yuan moved his body, the black-feathered crane cloak on his body slid down from his shoulders, revealing his chest wrapped in linen gauze, with golden-red bloodstains oozing from it. The traces have expanded a little.

"Hey!" Su Xuechan hurriedly called out, "Don't get down first, your body is important!"

Li Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the slender tree roots with big leaves in front of him. His thick eyelashes were like black mist, covering his golden pupils, covering his eyes like a pool of deep and inexplicable spring water .

He didn't care what Su Xuechan said, but propped himself up, walked slowly to the table and sat down, only an arm's length away from the window, and said softly, "Why are you here?"

"Because I'm worried about you!" Su Xuechan spoke quickly, he looked around, "You shouldn't have sent all the attendants away, you were seriously injured, someone should take care of you."

Li Yuan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. It didn't feel like happiness, and it didn't seem like sweetness. Looking at the trembling green leaves, he felt as if something lightened his heart. Scratching lightly, it was crispy and numb.

"Stupid," he sneered, flicked his finger lightly, knocking the slender tree root in front of him, "Although Chi You is dead, his loyal subordinates are not of the nature to keep their own place, if I continue to stay There are so many people here, and I am injured, sooner or later someone will get in, and then even you will suffer, don't you understand?"

Su Xuechan stared at him suspiciously: "Huh? Are you sure it's not because you don't want others to see this look, and you want to maintain your image of being wise and mighty?"

Li Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and he stretched out his hand to grab the juicy, emerald green leaves in front of him, "It's such a messy little thing..."

Su Xuechan was still laughing at first, but suddenly she was caught, half frightened, half frightened, the laughter stuck in her throat, and she murmured "Aiyo": "It hurts!"

Li Yuan was just pretending, and didn't really plan to deal with him, but when he heard him cry out in pain, his fingers seemed to be scorched by sparks, so he hurriedly let go, and he was still not at ease after letting go, so he pressed lightly again. At the junction of the leaf stem and the tree root, he whispered: "Does it hurt? Sorry, I'm not..."

Because of the blood loss, the temperature of his skin is still a little cool, but for plants, it is almost as hot as magma. Su Xuechan's heart palpitations from this scalding. His face flushed.

"No, I... It's not particularly painful..." He was in a daze, and Li Yuan's concerned eyes were close at hand, making him feel like he was in a pot of boiling water, which was boiling until he was completely out of his mind. Lost, "You...you have a good rest, if there is nothing else, I will leave first..."

Li Yuan froze according to his movements, and with a little force, the tree roots that were about to retract couldn't move, "Then I'll see you again at night?"

"No need!" Su Xuechan hurriedly refused, "Heal your wounds, wait for me... When I become a human body, I will take care of you!"

Li Yuan was stunned, and he couldn't help but relax a little, Su Xuechan shook the big leaf on his head, and took the opportunity to sneak away.

...I always feel that if I stay any longer, something bad will happen.

In this way, Su Xuechan was not bored at last.

With Li Yuan's acquiescence, he indulged his root system to run around in the palace, and from time to time, he picked up some rare things that he thought were rare and brought them to the owner of the Dragon Palace to offer treasures.Perhaps it was because he rejoined himself as a tree demon, and his mind became much younger. In Qingqiu Palace, he was a gentle and benevolent eldest prince, the elder brother of many siblings, but here in Li Yuan, he seemed He changed back to the old little fox who was running wild in the peach blossom forest. No matter how much trouble he wanted, no one would come to teach him not to do this or that. At most, Li Yuan would frown and flick his leaves. Dare to use more force.

"Li Yuan!" He manipulated the tree roots, ran to the bedroom window holding a round pearl, and shouted happily, "I found this one in the pool!"

Sitting behind the jade desk, Li Yuan turned a page. Beside the desk was a large seven-color glass cup with lotus leaf pattern, which was filled with all kinds of odd things, a branch of half-bloomed flowers, a few pieces of shiny Scales, a string of moist jade bells, several shapeless gold cakes, trivial gemstones that fell from the hairpin ring... There are so many of them, they are almost piled up into a hill.Li Yuan looked up helplessly, and reached out to take the finger-sized pearl.

"It was supposed to be laid out in the Golden Gui Pond for the carp to play with, but it was washed to your place by the curved water." Li Yuan said, "If you like it, I'll ask someone to make another floor for you someday. Looks good, okay?"

Su Xuechan was surprised: "But I saw this colorful color in the sun, it can't be just an ordinary pearl, right?"

God Yinglong sighed, and rolled the pearl in his hand, "There are eighty thousand pearls in the Dragon Palace, if not one hundred thousand, the one you found should be produced by the clam demon in the west sea, where the bright moon is hanging. , the clam demons there follow and absorb the moonlight, so the pearls produced can also emit colorful light in the sun... that's it."

"That's it..." Su Xuechan was slightly disappointed, "I thought I found the Shark Pearl..."

Li Yuan pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed with a headache: "The Baibao Pavilion in the inner room is the third floor from the bottom, the second to last box."

Su Xuechan: "Huh?"

"There is a key inside, you take it to the Linglong Pagoda in the west, after opening it, you can take as many shark beads as you want, you can roll around in it without any problem, I gave it to you, go. "

Su Xuechan shook the top leaf like a rattle: "I don't want it! Then there will be no fun in finding things!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to run around the Dragon Palace endlessly, leaving Li Yuan like a left-behind old man, watching every day what more things were piled up in the glazed cup at hand.

He shook his head, put the pearl in his hand into the cup, stuck it on the tasselless jade pendant and a few jade beads squeezed together.

After a while, unexpectedly, Su Xuechan went back and patted Li Yuan's arm lightly with a leaf on the top of the tree root, making him look down at him.

Li Yuan: "?"

"Let me ask you," Su Xuechan said, "I'm running around like this, but you can't go anywhere. Are you unhappy?"

Li Yuan: "..."

"The place where you are running around is my Dragon Palace," Li Yuan said slowly, "so why should I be jealous that you can run around?"

"That's right." Su Xuechan nodded, and just as she was about to leave again, Li Yuan said in a deep voice like gold and stone: "However, I do have a question I want to ask you."

Su Xuechan turned around and saw him staring at the silk book in his hand seriously, then looked at him again and said, "What do you think... what is a husband and wife?"

Su Xuechan just felt baffled: "What's the matter, is this a problem in the book? You have been reading for the past few days, so you can't just read this?"

Li Yuan suddenly discovered that in the Three Realms, he had always been known for being elusive and moody, but ever since his heart and blood fell on this untidy little thing in front of him, he could always treat himself from a tricky angle. The hit was right, he took a deep breath, and said patiently: "Say it quickly."

Su Xuechan looked at him as if he was about to get angry, thought for a while, and said, "I hear... I heard from the old man that the husband and wife are similar to the statues of Nuwa when she created humans."

This is actually what Su Lanji said when he was a child, but in this time and space, he is just a natural Bodhi tree, where did his parents come from?So I had to change my mouth.

Li Yuan was puzzled: "A statue?"

"Ah, yes." He shook the leaves, "When Nüwa created humans, everyone was made of dirt in the mud, but when there was always more mud, the figures made out were taller than others. Wa will smash this statue, and then squeeze two people out of it, this is husband and wife."

"To sum up, there is me in you, and you in me... like that."

Li Yuan stopped talking, but just stared at him with eyes as deep as a deep lake. Su Xuechan felt terrified of being watched by him, and didn't dare to wait any longer. He just said "I'll go first", and hurried without looking back. Ran.

Li Yuan stared at the green piece that flickered in sight, and after a while, he threw the book on the jade case, and said with a low laugh, "I am in you, and you are in me..."

"good very good."
