My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

At the beginning of summer in the year [-] of the cloud calendar, Xiaoshan was stationed in Zhuzhou.

Five years ago, Shen Xinghai, which was next to Xiaoshan Mountain, returned to a clear blue color, and all the black flames and miasma that disturbed the ground disappeared, and the climate in Zhuzhou gradually returned to normal.

Even though Xiaoshan is located in an alpine mountain, it has changed from the previous days of heavy snowstorms, and everything was covered by the vast snow, and it has become snowy and sunny, making it more livable.

As soon as the beginning of summer arrives, there will be occasional thin snow, and most of the time it will be sunny, and the unobstructed blue sky is like a clear blue gem.

The snow in the resident is mottled, and the cold-resistant plants grow vigorously, with layers of dark green and light green, covered by thin snow.

The demon hunters who had something to talk about randomly picked a place to sit among the flowers and plants, and the spirit beasts who were playing around happily burrowed into their arms. If they were too big to fit in their arms, they had to lie on the side tightly. next to each other.

The resident did not see the bleak and desolate place that used to be severely cold all year round, and the disciples of Xiaoshan no longer hurried around without touching the ground.

In the afternoon of this day, the door hosts the study.

The heat is getting stronger, and the windows on all sides are all open, revealing the cloudless sky and the Shen Xinghai with blue waves in the distance.

The warm sun and the breeze are pleasant, but the master of the Xiaoshan sect has no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He is burying his head in his desk, and his figure is tightly hidden by the account books piled up half a person's height.

Xia Qi has maintained the posture for two hours without moving his hips.

Such days lasted for two months.

The hands with protruding veins went to pick up the refreshing bitter tea again, only to realize that the teapot was empty. He suddenly felt that the words in front of him were not in sight, and finally put down the account book and raised his head, showing a troubled and irritable expression.

He simply lost the account book, got up and stretched his muscles and bones, walked around the room, and picked up Xue Ling Weasel, who was lazily lying on the window sill, and rubbed it, feeling extremely envious.

Xia Qi originally thought that when Yunzhang's hundred-year-long evil was over, he would be able to live a leisurely life of sleeping until he woke up naturally, getting up and having food... But unexpectedly, the past five years were as busy as running for the evil-- —

Under the torment of the long evil, Yunzhang was in a mess, the main city of the prefecture was not as prosperous as before, and the rest of the place was even more dilapidated and desolate.

This battle is over, but everything in Yunzhang is waiting to be done. It is necessary for the sects in various states to clean up the mess, clean up the remaining chaotic atmosphere, and then push the development back on track.

Just take him as an example——

Miracle Doctor Gu returned to the East Lake of Jinlian City, and Qiu Jin, the old valley owner, was exhausted in the battle of Shen Xinghai and went to retreat. Qiu Song led everyone in the valley to clean up Jinlian City, resettle the people, and restore the Nanfeng land vein.

All the property piled up in the Shifang Pavilion was returned to Xiaoshan, and Xia Qi allocated most of the property to support the genius doctor Gu in rebuilding Nanfeng. After all, Xu Shen has been in charge of Shifang Pavilion for a hundred years, and the gold and silver spiritual materials he obtained are all stained with the blood of Nanfeng people. , and the damage to Nanfeng's veins is very serious, and spiritual materials are rarely used for repairs.

Fortunately, the healing techniques of the Divine Doctor Valley are exquisite, and Nanfeng Wuhua Tianbao, a hundred years ago, is a good place for all things to grow. It has a certain recovery ability.

The remaining property is used in Zhuzhou.

Except for the steep Xiaoshan Mountains, the natural environment of other places in Zhuzhou is not bad, and the terrain is not damaged at all under the protection of Xiaoshan Mountain.

After the plague was over, the demon hunters quickly cleaned up the remaining monsters in the prefecture, and the severe wind and snow that filled the wilderness disappeared, and the thick snow melted to reveal the nourishing land. Phase spread.

Except for the spirit beasts who were brought back to Xiaoshan by the demon hunters before, they all found new places to make their homes in Zhuzhou.

As for the demon cultivators rescued from Nanfeng, some of them passed the trials and became demon hunters, while the rest decided to stay in various parts of Zhuzhou and build the Dizhou together.

The people gathered at the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain were even more motivated. Under the leadership of Xiaoshan disciples, they opened up Zhuzhou and raised new villages and towns one after another.

When planning the village and building facilities at the beginning, Chang Yao and Cang Li sent a group of craftsmen to help, but they got twice the result with half the effort and the progress was gratifying.

Later, Xia Qi thought that building a Dizhou would be a long and endless task, and it would not be a problem if he always troubled him to send help, so he transferred a group of local craftsmen to learn crafts from the craftsmen of the two sects, and then established Zhuzhou. In his craftsman's hall, he studied according to local conditions and gradually rebuilt the areas after the disaster.

All the villages have continued to grow in the past five years, and one or two of them have faintly grown to the size of a city.

Zhuzhou is also bordered by the Shenxing coast, which is the area of ​​the Xiaoshan city wall. In the past, the cliffs were used as a natural moat to resist the attack of the demons. A transmission chain for people and goods to pass through, together with the coastal wharf, connects the waterway to Lingzhou and Lingying Mountain.

Zhuzhou is sparsely populated, but it is rich in many precious medicinal materials, and regional specialties are also gradually enriched. With the promotion of Fu Wan's traveling around, it soon established business contacts with various states.

In the past, even the monks dare not approach the coast, but now the boats are busy, the waves are white, the sand is soft, and the residents of Zhuzhou often come to play together.

The prefecture where the three sects are located, together with Miracle Doctor Valley and Lingying Mountain, communicate with each other to help each other, and Yunzhang is full of vigor and vitality.

Back to Xiaoshan, I have to mention that Fu Wan is indeed a prodigy in business, and he is really buried as a monk.

All matters related to the construction of Zhuzhou need to be finalized by the head of the Xiaoshan sect, Xia Qi can handle it, and he can also give advice on business matters, but when it comes to the distribution of funds and other matters...he is really not this kind of material.

Fortunately, Fu Wan is very proficient, and the assets he allocates are often neither too much nor too little, and they can still operate smoothly, so he handed over the business to Fu Wan to take full charge of management.

However, the operation and use of each money is related to decision-making, and he still needs to spend time going through important account books.

In the beginning, there were not many industries in Zhuzhou, and the exchange of funds was very simple. You can tell the whole story with just a glance or two. Now, there are many ways to make money. There are piles of books to check every day, and you have to travel around...

The donkeys in the village under the mountain are not so tired!

Xia Qi sat lazily by the window, bathed in the bright sunlight, picked up a bunch of rags on the table to relieve his fatigue.

It was a small fabric animal that was about to be completed. Its nose was neither like a nose nor an eye, and it was so rough and messy that no species could be seen.

This is a new technique learned by He Zhuqing.

The ghosts of Lingying Mountain are good at crafts, and Zhuqing can make many exquisite things.The last time he went to Lingying Mountain, he saw that Sui Sui liked this kind of soft puppet, so he learned to make a crooked black cloth dragon, which made him laugh for an hour.

But my own cub likes it very much, running around with it in its mouth, and sleeping in it, that is no problem.

Seeing that he was starting work, Xue Ling Weasel in his arms immediately ran to the table, lay down, hugged the little black cloth dragon tightly in his arms, and watched Xia Qi's movements expectantly.

He buried his head for a moment, and pricked himself a few needles unskillfully, with almost no progress. When he was arranging with this mess, he inevitably missed his Taoist companion who knew everything.

The sunlight that fell into the study was quietly ups and downs in the cup, and he was stunned for a while.When Xu Shi saw him, Xue Lingyou brought him a small bunch of grapes, all of them were ripe, and it seemed that he had picked the best ones in the whole bunch.

He picked up Xueling Weasel and kissed it, then slumped down on the couch by the window to bask in the sun, and lazily ate grapes.

While half asleep, Xia Qi seemed to feel something, and raised his eyelids wearily.

A butterfly woven with white light flew in through the window, and landed lightly on the eartips of the sleeping Xueling Weasel in his arms, bringing a ray of cool sea breeze.

He didn't see any surprises, when he reached out his hand to touch it, the spirit butterfly dissipated into a wisp of smoke entangled between his fingers, and gradually the passionate invitation for a small gathering fell into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Xia Qi bent his lips, tilted his head, and looked through the window beside him, and fell on the sparkling blue sea of ​​stars.

On the opposite side of the ocean is Lingying Mountain.

Five years ago, many demon souls purified by the Vientiane Box, as well as the demon cultivators who returned to the human world from the Underwater Jindu, all returned to Lingying Mountain where the miasma and demonic energy disappeared.

Now Zhuqing and Yueluo have been able to condense into entities, Lingying Mountain has gradually restored its former appearance under the repair of the demon spirits, and many little demon spirits have bred in the forest and deep sea, and it is full of vigor.

Qingyan is not here, so it is not easy for him to intervene in Cangcheng's affairs, but he often runs to Lingying Mountain.

After getting the demon pill year after year, he is still not as lively and active as his peers, and is still lukewarm and lethargic.Qiu Song checked the little beast over and over several times, and confirmed that Zai Zai was very healthy, but with such a personality, Xia Qi felt relieved.

It's just that Sui Sui needs to slowly digest his cultivation, so he asked Zhu Qing for some methods to assist the little spirit beast in its cultivation.

After coming and going, he and Zhu Qing, who has a hearty personality, are congenial, and they often get together when they have nothing to do.

Xia Qi just wanted to accept Lingdie, but then remembered the invitation sent by Wen Yuxie this morning, it will be Su Ling's birthday in a few days.

For the past five years, Su Ling lived alone in a remote town in Lingzhou, very quiet and didn't like to show off, and his physical condition was getting worse year by year, Wen Yuxie and him were very worried.

This year, Wen Yuxie plans to hold a family banquet on her birthday, and invite people she knows well to accompany Su Ling.

When he counted the days, it happened that Lingzhou Thousand Lantern Festival and Shen Xinghai Lantern Market were approaching.

Wen Yuxie gave him a house in the best area of ​​Jindu before, and he didn't have time to look at it for a long time, presumably the flowers all over the yard were already in bloom.

There was hope in his heart, and he was in no mood to read the account books.

He gently scratched Xueling Weasel's chin to wake Zai Zai up, then pinched Fen Fen's little claws, and asked with a smile: "Sui Sui, do you want to go to Lingying Mountain to find friends, or Go to Jindu to eat delicious food?"

Xueling Weasel let out a soft, sleepy cry that was soft, dependent and cute.

But his eyes moved, his smile faded, he sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "...I won't visit your father this time."

Xue Ling Weasel lowered his head, feeling a little lost, and called out to him again. He hugged his hand with his claws, and signaled him where to go, and he would follow there.

Xia Qi smiled silently, and silently stroked the shining sword tassel beside him, the smile in his eyes gradually dissipated, and a lonely light faded away.

Sword spike mustard can still be used, and still has that boundless space, but the other half of the consciousness connected to it has long since disappeared.

Xia Qi started on the same day, without a sword, and did not take the teleportation array to Lingzhou, but put the snow spirit weasel on his shoulders, and set foot on the Xiaoshan mountain road.

In the past, monsters were rampant, thick snow accumulated, and the mountain peaks were full of dangers, and the mountain roads had long been deserted.Xiaoshan has renovated the mountain road this year. Whether it is a demon hunter or his disciples who came to visit, it is much more convenient to go to and from Xiaoshan and down the mountain.

The mountain road is like a dancing girl's elegant thin belt, winding on the dangerous peak. Dark green and light green moss grows on the corners of the steps of the mountain road.

He walked at a leisurely pace, occasionally passing by the demon hunters who had returned to their sect.

Now that Yunzhang's evil has been eliminated, there are still many evil spirits scurrying around, especially the western wilderness on the border is not very peaceful.

However, Xiaoshan gradually accumulated the assets of the sect, and the monthly payment of the disciples became richer, and the demon hunters would still accept some entrustments to eliminate demons and evil spirits as before. Exercise your muscles and bones, and secondly, you have money and time, but you can't play around.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, he met Gu Nian head-on. Gu Nian was returning from Fengxue Town with his little sister, and happily wanted to stuff him with some town specialties. He only took a bag of fried fish to feed Sui Sui.

After chatting for a while, the two continued on their way.

He patted off the fried fish crumbs on his shoulders, wiped Zaizai's mouth and claws, and headed for Fengxue Town, the largest town in Zhuzhou today.

Located at the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain, Fengxue Town was expanded from a former village.

All demon hunters have feelings for this village. After discussing with Fu Wan, he intends to develop it into the main city of Zhuzhou.This village is also up to the mark, and within five years it has grown to the size of a city. Although it is not as prosperous as Jindu's accumulated over hundreds of years, it is full of vigor and bustle.

As the time for dinner approached, people returning home walked through the bustling streets in the afterglow, making a lot of noise.As he walked among them, he couldn't help being in a good mood.

After walking for a while, he drove into a quaint spice shop with ease, and there was no one in the hall, so he went directly into the backyard.

The dusk is getting darker, and the quiet small courtyard is full of lazy colors. Perhaps the heat is getting stronger in the evening, and a table is placed under the flower vines. Bian Qiuguang and Gu Ying are laying out dishes, preparing to have dinner in the courtyard.

Seeing him appear, Gu Ying greeted him happily.

He came here at the right time, and pretended to slap his thigh: "Hey, it's just a coincidence, sister Ying, don't add more bowls, just give me the master's..."

He was kicked out by Bian Qiuguang first.

It's not over yet, he has a stomach full of complaints, complaining while eating, while Qiu Guang let go of Xiaoshan, he is busy and difficult as the head of the sect, he can't eat or sleep well every day, and his hair is falling out with anxiety.

The old god Bian Qiuguang was picking vegetables on the ground, without raising his eyelids, making it clear that he didn't want to pay attention to him.

In fact, after waking up, he knew Xia Qi's thrilling deeds along the way, and the new appearance of Xiaoshan and Zhuzhou now... the ability of his apprentice was somewhat beyond his expectations.

It must be a lie to say that he is not happy and happy, but as long as he gives this kid some color, the other party will directly push his nose to his face.

And Gu Ying was still terrified by Xia Qi's suffering in Nanfeng, and even died once... I can't imagine how painful it must be.

She hurriedly gave Xia Qi Bian Qiuguang's chicken legs, and told him to eat more. It's been five years since the war ended, how could he not gain weight.

Bian Qiuguang hung his chopsticks: "..."

He looked at the kid angrily and lamented again and again, he just wanted to let Xiaoshan disciples come and see, the new sect master they revered had such a shameless appearance in private.

Xia Qi, who "doesn't know how to eat", added another bowl of rice, and complained, but he didn't mean to ask Bian Qiuguang to continue worrying about the school.

It wasn't until last year that Bian Qiuguang and Gu Ying fully woke up, but they were too worn out and needed a long rest to recover.

Xia Qi didn't want them to work hard for the sect anymore, so he bought a house for them in Fengxue Town, opened a shop, and left a considerable amount of property.

Fu Wan's foothold in Fengxue Town is next door, and he can come here just by lifting his foot, and the passing demon hunters often come to the shop to eat and drink——

Apart from the leisure and abundance, these days are similar to those in the past when we often got together for nothing.

Saying goodbye to Bian Qiuguang and Gu Ying, Xia Qi boarded a merchant ship from Zhuzhou Xialingzhou.

Three days later, they came to the small town where Su Ling lived in seclusion.

The town is far away from the hustle and bustle and full of fireworks, the houses are like houses, the flowers and trees are lush, the sun is quiet, and it seems that even time has slowed down a lot.

It was actually very similar to the small town where he lived when he was young.

It is said that it is Su Ling's birthday banquet, she cooks all the dishes on the table, and even brews the wine... There is really no chance for others to work.

During this meeting, Xia Qi noticed that Su Ling's eyes were no longer empty and confused, but filled with radiance, his whole body was full of energy, and the smile on his face was no longer forced.

Apart from Wen Yuxie and Fu Leshan, the guests who came here also had a few familiar neighbors.After listening to Su Ling chatting with people, I realized that she is a private school teacher in a small town, and her daily life is busy and fulfilling.

The meal was very lively and relaxed until the evening, Xia Qi felt relieved when he heard Su Ling's familiar gags.

It seems that she has slowly picked herself up.

In the evening of the next day, Wen Yuxie was going back to Changyao to deal with affairs, and Xia Qi was also planning to leave together.

Under Su Ling's long-winded instructions, the two felt a little pain in their temples, they hurriedly stuffed the new clothes Su Ling cut for them into the mustard seeds, and ran away in unison.

On the way to Jindu together, Wen Yuxie mentioned that he had recently developed a technique to improve the sword tassel mustard, which allows the people in the mustard seed to go out from the other party's entrance, and give her the pair of sword tassels to transform when needed.

This means that even if two people do not have time to get together in the mustard, they can still go to each other through the mustard, and the distance of thousands of miles apart is no longer an obstacle.

Xia Qi sincerely admired Changyao's ingenious craftsmanship, and was delighted to agree, but thinking that there was still a very long time before he could see his Taoist companion, his heart sank slowly to the bottom of the pool.

Five years ago, the two fell continuously in the abyss of the trench. Before he lost his consciousness and fell into a coma, he saw that Qing Yan used the thin spiritual energy he had accumulated to stimulate the burning and consumption of the demon core, and protected him from the abyss with the original black dragon body. And rise.

Going against the fierce turbulent wind, the black dragon rushed up with difficulty and unyielding, until the azure beast's eyes lost their luster, and only then did they meet Mingwei and others who rushed to the mouth of the abyss to meet them.

Magical tools and spells cannot be used in Shen Xing Sea Territory, and the process of going up is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Ming Wei brought enough manpower, and met Fu Wan halfway, and brought the two of them out of the deep sea.

Only then did he realize that in the fall with no chance of survival, his calmness was due to blind optimism, while Qingyan's calmness was due to a long-planned plan.

Long before the two dived into the bottom of the sea, Qing Yan asked Ming Wei to come to the rescue immediately, and planned to wait for the spiritual energy to recover, then burn the demon pill to transform into the original body, and lead him out of danger.

That's right, his Taoist companion has always been unwilling to let him suffer a little harm, so how could he lead him to die willingly.

He was in a coma for five days before waking up, and Qingyan's injuries were accumulated, old and new, too serious, and he was sent back to Cangcheng and was urgently closed for retreat at Xinghui Peak, and he was expected to leave in 20 years.

And now it's only been five years.

He hoped that Qing Yan would be safe, but he also missed her very much.

There were not many days with Qing Yan, and the total was less than five months, and the waiting time was too long, and every moment was an unbearable torment.

The teleportation circle between the sects has been opened, and he has the authority to return directly to Xinghui Peak. He often wanders around the periphery of Xinghui Peak with Sui Sui, squatting in a daze to spend a whole day, and the grass is Almost bald by him.

When it is really unbearable, he will build many scenes of getting along with Qing Yan in the mustard... But the miss is like adding a fire, which burns more and more intensely.

20 years, that's a long time...

Xia Qi and Wen Yuxie bid farewell on the streets of Jindu, tonight happens to be the Thousand Lantern Festival.

At this moment, when the lanterns come on, the shop signs on both sides of the street are covered with colorful lanterns, which are lit up one by one, all of them look lovely and gratifying.And the street is already bustling with people, the street vendors are endlessly hawking, and there is a lot of people coming and going, which is very lively.

He walked slowly among the crowded lights, and was infected by the cheers around him, and the depression in his heart gradually dissipated.

The Lantern Festival in front of us is quite different. There will also be lantern festivals when the demons are rampant. They are only used to pray for safety.

Now as far as the eyes can see, thousands of lights are shining, and joy is harmonious.

Along the way, he paid attention to the movement of the weasel on his shoulder, and bought a lot of food that Sui Sui was looking forward to, half of which he ate, and half of which Sui Sui ate.

When Sui Sui was full of food, he licked his cheeks and squeaked softly, looking a little tired, so he sent Zai Zai back to sleep on the blanket among the mustard seeds.

At this time, the light market in the world is bustling, but the Shen Xinghai market belonging to monks has just begun.

Xia Qi didn't want to go back to the empty house, and happened to be strolling by the seaside of Shen Xing. He remembered that there would be fireworks and sky lanterns in the sea market in a while, so he simply rented a boat and sailed to the sea market full of lights.

On a clear night in early summer, the night was leisurely, and the Shenxing Sea Territory was already extremely lively.

The sparks in the sky are gorgeous, the ship lights on the sea are bright, and the stars and sea lights are connected together, like an endless sea of ​​lights, even the stars are a bit inferior.

Five years ago, the alliance of the three sects ended the evil, and the friendship between the disciples was already deep. Now the three sects, one valley and one island are closely related due to business exchanges, and the prosperity of Shen Xinghai Lantern City is not inferior to the world.

In the sea of ​​lights, there are continuous ships and merchants. Many aquatic spirit beasts have turned their upper bodies into human beings. Under the water, there are beautiful tail fins that swim freely among the ships.

Even deeper in the bottom of the sea, there are behemoths swimming leisurely, even black whales come to join in the fun.

Commodities that can form prefectural industries have fixed trade chains. Most of the goods sold in the sea market are rare and exotic products that cannot be mass-produced, rare spiritual materials obtained in dangerous situations, exquisitely crafted magic tools and ornaments, and annual The delicacies encountered, the graceful singing and dancing, and even the strange gadgets developed by the monks with their special skills...

Just as Xia Qi has sharp eyes, seeing a disguised valley owner selling something mysteriously, it must be some strange medicine.

Shenyue embraces the fire, and stars fall into the sea.

The grand occasion of Shen Xinghai City a hundred years ago has finally continued, and it is even more prosperous.

Being caressed by the gentle sea breeze, Xia Qi became more and more relaxed and happy, so he parked the boat on the outskirts of the sea city.

The noise in the distance became hazy and distant, and even the bustling lights jumping on the sea became much quieter. He sat on the bow of the boat, waiting for the fireworks.

He thought of something, took a blessing lotus lantern by his side, fingered the layers of lotus petals lightly, and remembered the scene of setting up the lotus lantern with the Qingyan that year...

He was absent-minded for a moment, and with the palm of his hand, the lotus lantern slowly and silently fell on the sea surface, swaying slightly.

For the past five years, he had only one wish in his heart, "the Taoist couple will be safe and get together as soon as possible". Get rid of distractions...

I don't know what changes will happen after the Qingyan leaves customs... Will my feelings towards the world become a little colder...

Before the wish was entrusted, the lotus lantern gradually drifted away, Xia Qi's eyes followed it, and he was in a daze as if distracted.

The numerous lights in the distance turned into mottled light and shadows, floating slightly in the quiet night of Shen Xinghai.

The moment of time is also infinitely stretched.

Suddenly, there was the sound of water, and another lotus lantern crossed the sea, passing through the vast night, dragging light water marks, lightly collided with his lotus lantern, and stood next to him.

It was hit by a ray of sword energy.

The scene of deja vu touched the memory treasured in his heart, Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, then stiffly and slowly stood up.

If the collision of the lotus lamps was accidental, the sword energy was familiar and unique.

The heart that had been silent for too long suddenly hung high suddenly, and even the rapid beating was a little strange, and the breathing was a little short due to the drag.

He frowned tightly, thinking it was impossible, and secretly gave birth to a ray of unrealistic expectations. Once this ray of expectation sprouted, it would grow wildly like a wind of longing...

The boat under his feet and the surrounding night remained motionless, but his keen inspiration suddenly told him that someone appeared behind him.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and stood up on the same hands and feet, almost staggering.

He clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, forgetting to use his spiritual sense to catch the familiar breath, but turned his head hastily according to instinct.

In the dim light and shadow, a man in a dark blue robe was looking at him with a smile. The golden glow on the corners of the robe was finely fragmented, just like the mottled morning and dusk stained by the stars and the moon.

Xia Qi's Adam's apple twitched, he forgot to speak, mist formed in his sour eyes.

The other party didn't give him a chance to speak, and approached, bringing a rush of wind in the quiet summer night.

The smile in the azure eyes that were close at hand turned deep, and when the heavy breathing kiss fell on his lips, before he could close his eyes, he saw the long-awaited fireworks blooming behind his loved one , but far less than the piece of blue that enveloped him.

The fireworks in Shen Xinghai City will last for a long time, and the splendor that blooms all over the sky covers the sea city, competing for splendor and beauty, and everyone looks up to admire it.

No one noticed that a boat on the edge of the sea city was half covered by bamboo curtains, until an uncontrollable breaking sound leaked out, and the whole boat was delayed by the magic circle.

Xia Qi was immersed in the mottled and gorgeous swaying light and shadows and seductive voices, only felt that the fireworks outside were very far away, the noise was hazy and indistinct, and only the scorching hot atmosphere of the feast remained in the world.

The longing was soothed, the longing was filled, the corners of his eyes were filled with moisture, the sea of ​​consciousness held Qing Yan tightly, and he knew that he was finally released from the silent time at this moment, and returned to the familiar place following the warm woody fragrance of the other party. world.

The fire trees and silver flowers pervading the sea and sky never stopped, pushing the bustle of the sea city even more intensely.

In the extraordinarily quiet and dimly lit cabin, Xia Qi hugged the person he was thinking about day and night without letting go, and stared closely at the other person's eyes, repeatedly confirming that his Taoist companion really came back, not Mengying. right next to him.

It wasn't until the warm kisses fell on his eye sockets that he realized that the eye sockets were already sore and red.

The excitement, joy and worry in his chest were mixed together, and he couldn't get rid of the turbulent left and right. With a hoarse voice, he finally had the opportunity to say the first sentence after the reunion: "Why did Bo Lan leave the customs in five years..."

Qing Yan grabbed his groping hand and pulled him a little closer, without moving her gaze away from him, she draped the dark blue robe over his shoulders.

"With the help of the demon pill to breathe out, the soul has been restored in five years. If the soul is intact, the seal can be removed, and there is no need to retreat for breath adjustment afterwards."

Xia Qicai realized that the person in front of him had broken through the Nascent Soul, but because of the powerful demonic power of the demon core, his cultivation was far beyond that, so he couldn't help being surprised and admired.But he also knows that once the Qingyan is out of the closed door, the speed of recovery and cultivation will not be as fast as the closed door.

He remembered that the other party's Burning Demon Pill was injured more seriously five years ago, and his heart was sore and astringent. He was sad and blamed himself for a moment, and lowered his eyes and asked softly: "In such a hurry...do you want me to wait?"

It must be that I took Sui Sui around the periphery of Xinghui Peak every now and then... It affected Qingyan.

Qing Yan shook his head silently, raised his face with his fingers, and gently stroked his cheek, his eyes contained a soft smile, but there was a more blazing light and shadow in the depths.

Xia Qi knew that it was the depression that could not be relieved by longing.

"It's because I can't wait to see Ah Qi, not even a moment longer."

Xia Qi's eyelashes trembled, the soreness in his chest turned into soreness again, and the joy and excitement in his heart took over.

Even if his Taoist partner was a bit too much just now, he still wants to be closer to each other and last longer, so as to fill up the constant longing for the past five years.

He lightly rubbed Qing Yan's neck, raised his head with a blushing face, and kissed the corner of Qing Yan's lips.His Taoist companion chuckled, knowing what he wanted, and soon granted his wish.

The gorgeous fireworks are about to end, but they bloom even more lively, as if this scene is going to be deeply engraved in everyone's memory, and Haishi is the busiest time.

Xia Qi was finally able to rest for a while, but found that the breath passing over his cheeks was still hot, making his blush even deeper.

He was inexplicably ashamed to look directly at the other party's blue eyes... The fire inside hadn't been extinguished at all, so he raised his hand to cover it like a fool, and asked softly: "Shall we go out to see Shen Xinghai Lantern City? The fireworks are almost over, tonight Also... long..."

A kiss landed on his wrist, and his hand trembled from the heat, and he saw Qing Yan's gaze passing over the colorful halo on his skin inch by inch, which was almost a magnificent glazed color.

The eyes between the fingers are full of desire, as if there is nothing else in the eyes.

His Adam's apple moved, his mind was completely broken with shame, and he realized that Qing Yan turned him around, and the warm breath fell into his ears from behind.

"If Ah Qi wants to see it, he can see it like this."

Xia Qi was at a loss for a few breaths, his thoughts suddenly stopped, his breathing became short, and his fingers clasped Qing Yan's palm tightly.

He looked at the broken lights divided by bamboo curtains in a daze, and thought that if he admired it like this, it would be... very beautiful.

Shen Xinghai's sea market will last until dawn, and when the two of them come out, the fireworks have already ended, and the sky lanterns are about to be released, and the sea is still bustling.

Xia Qi sat on the edge of the boat, rolled up his trouser legs and stretched his feet into the sea to play in the water.

Qing Yan sat beside him, untied the light yellow hair band wrapped around his hands, gently rubbed the light red marks on his wrists, and helped him tie up the blue hair again.

Xia Qi's heart was filled with joy, he kicked the water and looked at the noisy sea of ​​lights in the distance.

Now that Shen Xinghai City has recovered its prosperity, it presents a scene where all creatures are thriving, and the new atmosphere of Yunzhang can be seen.

This is what Qing Yan has been looking forward to for a long time, and the other party must also be gratified to reproduce the grand occasion of the sea market.

Thinking of this, he wanted to show the excitement of a certain place to the people around him, and share the world they fought for together, but when he looked at his Taoist companion, he found that the people around him hadn't looked elsewhere, but were looking at it all the time. he.

It seems that among the thousands of scenes worth looking forward to, he is the one that attracts the most attention.

His heart beat slightly faster, and he saw a gentle smile floating in those blue eyes, but it was not difficult to detect that there was still a deep unsatisfied meaning in it.

The tips of his ears became even redder, his toes were stiff when he kicked the water, and he shook helplessly: "...Why doesn't Bo Lan look at the lights?"

Qing Yan did not hide his thoughts: "Looking at A Qi is enough."

Xia Qi's cheeks started to burn again, he just felt that he couldn't bear to be teased after seeing his Taoist companion for five years, especially after the indulgence was over, the other party seemed to draw out his unspeakable longing in every look.

And his Taoist companion... is extraordinarily greedy tonight, irresistible and unsatisfactory.

He coughed in a serious manner: "... I will see you every day from now on, and Haishi only once a year."

But Qing Yan responded slowly: "A Qi under the lanterns is also once a year." After a pause, he took his hand and scratched his palm gently, his voice was so soft that it seemed coaxing and seductive, "Go back, let me take a good look at Ah Qi."

At this point, Xia Qi didn't even bother to look at the lights, but felt that the lights all over the sky were not as good as the joy in his heart, so he couldn't help raising his eyes that were lit up with shame: "Where are you going?"

In the middle of the night, everything is silent, in the empty hall of Lingying Mountain.

Only a few candles were lit in the room, and the light and shadow were faintly mottled, lazily falling on the white jade throne.

Xia Qi rested his back on the soft thick blanket, staring at the dark golden streamer on the top of the dim temple in a daze, and the deep blue that was burning with silent flames close at hand.

He really didn't expect it, but he wasn't surprised... Qing Yan would choose this place.

The Xuanchang Great Hall was too quiet and empty, the two of them were trapped in the darkness, even the slightest sound was amplified infinitely, and it was very clear...

He was ashamed beyond words, but he still promised his Taoist companion to fulfill the promise.

I don't know how much time passed, but when his consciousness became clear again, Xia Qi was already lying on the spacious bed in the Wan Yao King's bedroom.

The scent of flowers in the dormitory was faint, and the smoked wind was warm. He was covered with a thin quilt, and the comfort and softness under his body was close to the skin.

As for Qing Yan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a cloak, silently watching the bustling Shen Xinghai outside the door lattice.

The glazed light is soft, blurring the originally sharp profile of the side face into a calm and gentle look, and even the tiny light in the eyes is somewhat clear and translucent.

Xia Qi knew that, except for facing himself, his Taoist companions were always silent, and the joy was only superficially visible.Now that the other party is relaxed and focused, the comfort and happiness in his heart are not shallow.

He was also happy in his heart, slowly got up, leaned on the other's shoulder silently, and was pulled into his arms again.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, watching the thousands of sky lanterns rising from the sea in the distance, and gradually scattered in the night sky in early summer.

This moment is quiet and stable, as if it is eternity.

After a long time, Xia Qi noticed a slight aura fluctuation in the mustard seed. It was Xue Lingyou who sensed the familiar breath that he hadn't seen for a long time, and was running around excitedly, screaming anxiously.

Knowing that Sui Sui missed Qing Yan very much, he carried the little snow-white beast out.

When Sui Sui saw Qing Yan, with wet eyes, he climbed onto Qing Yan's lap, sniffing and rubbing lightly, and whispered in dependence.

Qing Yan stroked Xue Ling Weasel with a smile, scratched Xue Ling Weasel's chin with his fingers, and said with a smile: "The color of Sui Sui's coat has improved a lot, and his cultivation level has also improved a lot."

Knowing that he was being praised, Xueling Weasel wagged his tail happily, licked Qingyan's fingers, and yelled at the two of them a few more times.

Xia Qi was so cute that his heart melted, he hugged Xue Ling Weasel and took a deep breath: "Sui Sui used to run around with us, always worrying about us, and his hair color was so ugly... Now I will let Sui Sui suffer Fish soup, and took it to play with friends, Bo Lan, look, this snow-white fluffy... the fur is more fluffy, and the head is round, so cute!"

Xueling Weasel turned over, stroked the snow-white and soft fur on its belly, gently shook the chubby little beast, and couldn't help laughing: "Sui Sui ate a lot tonight, I need to move around for a while before resting."

The two rubbed Xueling Weasel for a while, seeing that Sui Sui was surrounded by good places that had been there once, they happily ran to play in the shallow pool they liked.

In the distance where the sea and the sky meet, the night is fading, and there are signs of thinning, and the thousands of lights in Shen Xinghai are also arranged one by one.
