[Lotus Lantern] Keep your life

"Xiao Mu! What did you say to Ao Cunxin?" I looked at Xiao Mu who was sitting next to him and couldn't help but ask him.

"I didn't say anything, I just told her by the way, you saved her elder brother Ao Yu, and you also helped her father to heal his illness, that's what happened when she was moved." Xiao Mu replied with a nonchalant smile.

"Really?" I couldn't believe it.

"Xiao Qiao, you and Xiao Mu must stay in the Yang Mansion for a few more days this time, and talk to me well, come and drink tea." Ao Cunxin took my hand and smiled at me Said.

"Tu'er, Tuer! Hey~ah! Xiao Qiao!" When I was still confused by Ao Cunxin's sudden enthusiasm, a very familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and I hurriedly searched for the sound. Seeing Yu Ding rushing in with a big sack on his back, he flashed a burst of doubt and surprise when he saw me and said excitedly.

"Yu Ding!" I was also very happy to see him, I quickly got up and helped him to sit down, seeing him panting like that, I quickly poured him a cup of tea.I am helpless, why is he still like this.

"That Yang Jian came back a few days ago and went out again in a hurry. He probably came back in a few days. Does the real person have anything to do with him?" Ao Cunxin said to Yuding with some displeasure.

"Ah, this, it's not a big deal, it's just that my book is finished, come here, Xiao Qiao, I'll give you a volume, put it away." Yuding looked at Ao Cunxin with some embarrassment, and then took out a scroll from behind. Give me the bamboo slip, and said with a big smile.

"The Proverbs of the Jade Cauldron, Yuzi? You are really good at it. You have been writing this book for hundreds of years before finishing it." I said to him with a smile.

"Hey, Master, you can give me a volume too, I want to read it too." Xiao Mu also came over and said.

"Ahem! You, did you see that?" Yuding smiled embarrassedly when he heard Xiaomu say that, almost choking to death on the tea.

"Master, please accept my apprentice's worship!" Xiao Mu suddenly turned serious, put down his clothes, knelt down on one knee, and bowed with fists folded.

"Xiaomu! Do you really want to join the Chanjiao?" Xiaomu's obeisance surprised Yu Ding, and I couldn't be much better off. I couldn't help asking with a frown, but after thinking about it later, it seemed inappropriate, and I seemed to have no position Regardless of this matter, he stopped talking.

"Master!" Xiao Mu looked at Yu Ding with firm eyes and shouted.

"Okay, okay, it's really rare that you can think highly of me, get up!" Yu Ding excitedly stepped forward to help Xiaomu up, his eyes were almost moist with a smile.

I was just about to step forward to congratulate Yu Ding for accepting another good apprentice, when I suddenly looked up and saw the Heaven-Defying Eagle hovering and flying down!Fei whistled and wandered in the courtyard, seemingly very anxious.

My heart trembled suddenly, and I looked at Xiao Mu, my heart trembled, something really happened to that guy Yang Jiao!

The two of us didn't have time to explain to Yu Ding and Cun Xin, so we hurriedly explained a few words, put down the teacups in our hands, and flew away with the Sky-Defying Eagle!

"This is Xihai!" That guy Yang Jiao might have something to do with Xihai again, I couldn't help but wonder.

"Miss Qiao, look quickly, isn't that the Roaring Dog?" Xiao Mu pointed to a thin black figure standing on the beach of the West Sea in front of him and asked anxiously.

"Shoutiangou! Why are you here, what's going on, where are Yang Jiao and Yang Jian?" Seeing the man clearly, I rushed over and asked anxiously.

"Hey~ why are you here? Did Nitianying come here for you?" Roaring Dog was startled when he saw us, but after seeing me glaring at him, he got back to the topic, "Oh, the master asked me to track down that man named Yang Damn it, it disappeared when I chased it to the West Sea, you know my nose doesn’t work when it’s in the water, so the master said he wanted to go down and have a look, and asked me to wait for him here.”

"What's that Yang Jiao, you should call him Big Brother. Ah! That's... Yang Jian?!" Before I could finish talking to Xiao Tiangou, I suddenly heard the sound of a fierce weapon clash, and I was dressed in black. Yang Jian in Xuanyi was holding a three-pointed and two-bladed halberd, and was fighting fiercely with a monster in a gray cotton robe with disheveled hair and two short crescent shovels in his hands.

The two people suddenly flew out of the sea and splashed water all over my body. What's the situation? I stared at the two people who were fighting fiercely in the distance and couldn't help but wondered.

"Miss Qiao, are you alright? Uh, this... the evildoer in Xihai has been eliminated by us, so who is that monster who is fighting with Yang Jian now?" Xiao Mu looked at me covered in drops of water Asked with a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

I glared at him, just as I was about to go up to help Yang Jian, when two people suddenly jumped out of the sea, I was startled, and then I took a closer look, it turned out to be the little white dragon from Xihai who I had met before, the person he was supporting Isn't it Yang Jiao who made us have a hard time looking for it?

"Grandfather!" "Little Qiao!" Both of them were a little surprised when they saw me, and they stepped forward together and said to me.

"Yang Jiao, third prince, what's going on, who is that monster that Yang Jian fought with?" I asked hurriedly once I regained my senses.

"He is the Nine-Headed Insect, who stole the glazed emerald night pearl given to Xihai by the Jade Emperor. When I found him, I just saved Yang Jiao, but this Nine-Headed Insect is too powerful, and we couldn't beat him together. Fortunately, Erlang Zhenjun came in time, otherwise the two of us would be in danger." Xiao Bailong frowned and explained to me.

"Nine-Headed Insect? It sounds familiar, but Yang Jiao, why are you in the West Sea?" I asked Yang Jiao as I fixed my eyes on the Nine-Headed Insect who was struggling with Yang Jian in the distance and seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"Uh, this is that after you and that idiot left Kunlun Mountain that day, I didn't go back to Guanjiangkou. In fact, I followed you all the way to the West Sea. After you got rid of the demon, you left. I followed you Yes, but on the way, I suddenly found that nine-headed worm was bullying a little girl on the West Sea. You know I can’t just leave her alone. After I rescued her with the Demon Slaying Whip, I ran away with her. As a result, within a few days, the little girl was captured by the Nine-Headed Insect and returned to the West Sea. I went back to save her. When I was fighting Nine-Headed Insect, I ran into Ao Yu. He asked for Ye Mingzhu and I saved her. That’s it It's time." Yang Jiao scratched his head embarrassedly and said to me.

"Oh, why did I think you didn't arrive at Yang's mansion after so long? It turned out that the hero went to save the beauty on the way. Hmph, it made us worry for nothing, and thought that God had led you somewhere." Xiao Mu said with a soft snort.

I didn't want to listen carefully to their quarrel. I just suddenly remembered who the nine-headed worm sounded familiar at first. This couldn't be Tang Seng, Monkey King and his disciples in the book Journey to the West when they passed by Ji Saiguo I met the nine-headed worm who stole the national treasure relic. I remember that Sun Wukong seemed to be able to defeat him with the help of Erlang Shen Yang Jian.So what is the current situation of Yang Jian fighting against the Nine-Headed Insect? Is it a coincidence or a drama collapsed! ! !

While I was thinking wildly, Yang Jian had already beaten the wounded nine-headed worm away!Seeing him galloping down in mid-air, turning into a folding fan with three points and two blades, and changing into a white robe again, I was depressed. He really pays attention to his image all the time.

"Big...Brother?!" Yang Jianfei didn't say a word to us when he came down, but he just stared at Yang Jiao who was beside me in disbelief, "Are you really a big brother?!"

"Erlang..." Yang Jiao also stared at Yang Jian in a daze for a while, as if he hadn't thought that Yang Jian was no longer the ignorant boy he was back then.Yang Jian is taller than Yang Jiao at this time, and his immature face has long been smoothed by time and has become mature and stable. When he heard Yang Jiao's "Erlang" again, he slowly put him on Yang Jiao's face. The arm on the shoulder trembled violently, and I clearly saw the tears streaming out of his handsome starry eyes, but the dilated pupils were full of smiles.

"Brother!" "Erlang!"

Seeing the two brothers hugging each other tightly, my eyes were moist and my heart was warm. I blinked vigorously and thought to myself, the two of them just met after messing with each other.

"Brother...is that daddy..." Yang Jian looked up at Yang Jiao with some expectation, but also some fear and asked in a low voice, not sure.

"Father... oh! The pendant is gone!" Yang Jiao said urgently as he rubbed his neck.

"What did you say! It's gone! You, why don't you go find it!" It was like a thunderbolt on the sunny day, and I broke out in a cold sweat in a hurry. I knew this kid was so unreliable. him.

"Brother Yang Jiao, is this the necklace you're looking for?" While everyone was anxious, suddenly a girl in a goose-yellow gauze dress appeared behind Xiaobailong, with light almond eyes and a small cherry mouth. The watery eyes are shining, charming and charming, and the voice is as sweet as Huang Ying's light cry, and half of the person's body is sore when he calls out to Brother Yang Jiao.

"Qingyu! Why are you here? You escaped?!" Yang Jiao looked at her and asked with a smile in surprise.I glanced at him speechlessly and quickly grabbed the pendant and handed it to Yang Jian. Only then did I know that this girl named Qingyu was the little girl Yang Jiao saved from Nine-Headed Insect. .

"Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Xiao Mu, let's go back to Guan Jiangkou first." I watched Yang Jian staring at the waves flashing in the eyes of the pendant, thinking that this matter should not be seen by too many people good.As for the little girl, if Yang Jiao is reluctant, he can take her back too.

"Engong, please stop, Engong, I have something to tell you." Xiao Bailong looked at Yang Jian, and suddenly stopped me and said, seeing his frowning, it seemed that there was something urgent.

I asked Yang Jian to take the pendant and take Yang Jiao and Xiao Tiangou back to Guanjiangkou first. From Yang Jian's absent-minded appearance, anyone could tell that he was really too excited.His dream for many years finally saw hope.

"Benevolence!" I saw the little white dragon staring at me with a sad expression on his face, he suddenly flapped his clothes, knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and nodded towards me.

"Your Highness the Third!" Qing Yu, who was at the side, seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and her face suddenly turned pale.But looking at it like this, she is quite familiar with Xiao Bailong.

"What is the third prince doing?! Get up quickly!" I was also taken aback by his sudden action, and I quickly stepped forward to help him up and said anxiously, "You can just call me Xiao Qiao. You don't want to be kind, don't you?" Did you save Yang Jiao?"

"Benevolence! Ao Yu has violated the law of heaven by losing the glazed jadeite night pearl bestowed by the Jade Emperor. I am afraid that death will be inevitable! Ao Yu is not afraid of death, but this night pearl has the effect of purifying sea water, which is beneficial to thousands of lives in the West Sea. It is the most important thing to say! If there is a chance, please benefactor to help Xihai recover the pearl, Ao Yu is here to thank you in advance!" Ao Yu clasped his fist at me again, bowed his head and bowed.

"If I have time, I will promise you to do my best. You can also relax, I don't think you will be in danger of your life after this." I was taken aback, he could take life and death so calmly, I didn't know Is this calculated by the Jade Emperor, or he happened to be unlucky enough to encounter this incident. After Journey to the West, he was awarded the eight-part heavenly dragon by the Tathagata Buddha.

"Engong doesn't need to comfort Ao Yu. Aoyu is not afraid of death, but he is worried about his father and sister Cunxin. However, since his father took Engong's elixir, his body has recovered. It seems that her temper is a bit arrogant, but in fact she is still very kind-hearted. It is better not to tell her about Xihai for now, so as not to make her sad. If there is a chance, I will ask my benefactor to teach this jade pendant to Cun Xin, and tell her the truth. My father, queen mother and I have always missed her very much." Xiao Bailong said to me with a slight sadness on his face, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"I know, you can rest assured that I will bring your words to Cun Xin, believe that I will be fine, and you don't need to be too sad." I took the palm-sized carved dragon jade pendant and said to him.

"Xiao Yu, I'm afraid I don't have much time, follow me back and spend time with my father." Xiao Bailong nodded at me with a helpless chuckle, then turned and said to the little girl.

Qing Yu's eyes were filled with tears, he nodded lightly, and followed Xiao Bailong back to the West Sea.It was only then that I realized that Qingyu should also be from Xihai.

"Sister Xiao Qiao, let's go back first." Xiao Mu also showed a faint sadness when watching Xiao Bailong's leaving figure, and he took a deep breath and said to me when he knew that their figures had disappeared.

I held the jade pendant tightly in my hand and went back to Guanjiangkou together with Xiaomu Nitianying, thinking to myself, it really is unrealistic to spend three months in Yang's mansion peacefully.

Back at the Yang Mansion, Yang Jian took Yang Jiao for a stroll, and when I saw Cun Xin and handed the jade pendant to her, she hugged me and started crying, which made me feel at a loss, and finally comforted her It took a while for her to fall asleep early.

The moon tonight is very beautiful, the moonlight is clear and dust-free, and it shines all over the courtyard.Yang Jian and Yang Jiao came back when it was getting dark. It turned out that the two of them had walked on the road for a long time before thinking of going home.Yu Ding has dragged Yang Jian to watch his masterpiece since he came back, and Yang Jiao was dragged out by Xiao Mu to compete in whipping as soon as he came back. This sympathy has come, and now I am leaning against the big banyan tree by the pond in the courtyard of the Yang Mansion, and I find it funny to watch the two of them fight for wine together.

"Xiao Qiao...I have something to talk to you alone first." The moonlight in front of me was suddenly blocked by someone who came, and I looked up and saw Yang Jian squatting down to look at the slightest waves flashing in my eyes.

"Follow me!" Before I could say anything, he had stretched out his hand and gently pulled me up. When his slightly cold fingers touched my palm, I suddenly realized that my heart was very peaceful. , it seems that I don't love him as much as I thought.

The clear silver moonlight shone on the cold tombstone in front of me. Standing in front of the tomb of the person who should have passed away long ago, I smiled slightly, and finally let go of another burden in my heart. Only then did I realize that even without Yang Jian, I would have He will save them, because saving them back then was not just for Yang Jian.

"Xiao Qiao, why didn't you explain it back then, why did you have to bear it alone for so many years, why... didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Yang Jian carefully took out the jade pendant that was transformed from the soul-suppressing cauldron from his bosom, his fingers slightly He raised it to my side tremblingly, and said to me with a sob.

"I don't know why. Maybe I didn't dare at the beginning. I paid so much silently but never dared to say it. I loved so deeply but still didn't dare to destroy the original track of the story. In fact, I figured it out now. , I suddenly felt that all of this is actually nothing to be afraid of. It's a pity... some things can't go back to the past." I looked up at the moon and pretended to be very calm.But I felt that the moonlight shining on my body suddenly became a little cold.

"Yeah, I can't go back to the past. If you said some things earlier, maybe the situation will be different..." Yang Jian suddenly came over and hugged me tightly and smiled wryly, "Thank you, Xiao Qiao."

The night wind in May blows slowly, blowing his clothes flutteringly, under the cold moonlight, although his warm embrace hugs me tightly, but I feel that something seems to be passing away slowly, wanting to Understand that if you want to get something, you must lose something as a price.

Yang Jian, you have your responsibility, and I have mine. In fact, I am also afraid now. I hope we will not become enemies in the future...
