"Senior Sister Huanqing, don't sleep!"

Yue Qiluo was awakened from her dream by a beating. When she opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping by the well with a broom in her arms.In front of her was a little boy in Taoist robes carved in jade, who was hitting her with a wooden stick.

She rubbed her eyes and wanted to stand up, but the little Taoist's wooden stick crackled on her body, and one of them happened to hit her knee. The pain made her legs go limp, and she sat on the ground again.

"Lingsu, don't be rude to senior sister!"

Yue Qiluo raised her eyes and saw a young man in Taoist robes walking towards her with a whisk in his hand, staring at the little Taoist priest sternly.Ling Su ate, flattened his mouth, dropped the wooden stick and left.

Xu Yun walked to her side, said with a smile: "Huanqing, you dozed off outside again."

Yue Qiluo sat on the ground in a daze, thinking that she was crazy.Her eyesight recovered, not only that, but she saw her senior brother again.Is it possible that I have already died in the ghost town, and this is the underworld?

"What's the matter?" Xu Yun showed a concerned expression on his face, and bent down to smooth her forehead hair, "It's cold on the ground, get up quickly."

He stretched out his hand to pull her up, but unexpectedly her hand was firmly grasped by her.The palms of Huanqing's hands were covered with cold sweat, and there was a big piece of cold on the palm.She stared at herself as if she had just met him the first day.

"Senior brother..." Yue Qiluo's voice was weak and trembling, "Senior brother!"

"I'm here." Xu Yun didn't know what was wrong with her, but just comforted her with nice words.

Yue Qiluo felt her nasal cavity was sore and it was difficult to calm down.So many years!She thought she would never see her senior brother again, but right now he was standing in front of her, a real person.

"Brother..." She sniffed, "I...I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Xu Yun smiled and said: "Huanqing, what happened to you today, did you have a nightmare?"

Yue Qiluo stared at him blankly, unable to say a word.

"Okay, put down the broom." He couldn't pull out his hand, so he had to hold her instead, and pulled her away from the well, "I'll take you to get some air."

All the way out of the Taoist temple, Yue Qiluo still didn't say a word.This place is not a ghost town, nor is it an underworld.The Xuyun in front of her is clearly a living person with warmth, she never imagined that in the end of 2000, she would return to the original point.She still thought she was dreaming, and squeezed Xu Yun's hand again.Xu Yun didn't turn his head back, but also indulged in holding her back, the beating blood vessels passed through the skin, intertwined with her heartbeat.

Xu Yun dragged her down the mountain, when suddenly he heard Huan Qing behind him murmur, half crying and half laughing: "Brother, you are alive, and I am alive too... Is there such a good thing in the world?"

He turned his head to look at her, frowned and smiled: "Huanqing, you are very unusual today, you always talk nonsense."

Yue Qiluo also frowned, and said softly: "Brother made fun of me."

Xu Yun was stunned, because at this moment, Huanqing actually revealed a kind of coquettishness of cardamom, which he had never seen in her.He watched Huanqing grow up, until she was 17 years old, she was still a yellow-haired girl.Because of malnutrition and being bullied all the time, his complexion is sallow all day long, and his hair is disheveled and tied into little knots.In the past, Huanqing was always cowering and shy, with averted eyes, but today she seems to be a different person, she has grown up a lot overnight, and there is a bit of mature beauty in her eyes.He suddenly realized that Huanqing was actually a big girl.

He lowered his head and saw that there were a few more cuts on her hand, so he took her other hand and said in a low voice: "They asked you to do rough work again? Huanqing, I told you, don't be blind." You are submissive. You are a disciple of the master, not a messenger in the backyard. Even Lingsu dares to bully you, how will you stand up in front of the juniors from now on?"

Yue Qiluo was stunned for a moment, her lips curled into a curve, and said coldly: "That little boy Lingsu is the youngest son of Uncle Huoju, in front of him, I have no place to speak."

Xu Yun had never seen her look like this before, so he was stunned for a moment.He stretched out his hand to pin her disobedient hair behind her ears, and saw a big piece of mud on her face, and smiled instead: "Look at you, you are a 17-year-old girl, and you don't know how to dress up. I'll wash you wash."

A few steps down the mountain, there is a small stream flowing by.Yue Qiluo ran to the side of the stream a few steps, wanting to take a picture of herself.Naturally, this look was expected to be a great disappointment. A bland face was reflected in the stream, which was her original face.Sallow and emaciated, date pit face, hair messed up, eyes lifeless.She picked up the water to wipe off the mud on her cheeks, smoothed her temple hair, and didn't even dare to look up at him again.

Xu Yun sat down on the boulder by the stream, saw Huanqing staring at the stream in a daze, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.He intentionally made her happy, and said, "Huanqing, today I will take you down the mountain to play."

Yue Qiluo's eyes lit up: "Going down the mountain?"

She vaguely remembered that when she was in Qingyunguan, although she often sneaked out to play with her senior brother, the mountain gate was not accessible.Even if you are ordered by your master to kill monsters, time is tight, and you can only go from a remote mountain to another remote mountain.She is an abandoned baby in Guanli, and she has always been inferior to a miscellaneous envoy.Although Xu Yun is the eldest disciple under the master's seat, because of being excluded by the other three senior brothers, he always walks on eggshells.Usually it is reluctant to help her, and I would never dare to disobey my teacher's order.She had longed for the human world for 18 years, but she couldn't see it with her own eyes until she died.

"En," Xu Yun nodded, "I'm asking Master for orders, and this time I will take over the Second Junior Brother to go down the mountain to search. I think maybe I can take you with me."

Yue Qiluo's eyes lit up, then went out again: "It's just a search, what's the fun."

Xu Yun smiled and said: "Why not? Do you know what day it is today?"

Yue Qiluo didn't know the time at all, and couldn't even remember what year it was, so she shook her head numbly.Seeing this, Xu Yun said, "Today is the Obon Festival."

"Ullambana Festival?" Yue Qiluo's eyes were like two shining longan kernels, "Flower lantern!"

"En." Xu Yun nodded.

Yue Qiluo was overjoyed, she was about to stand up immediately, but remembering her appearance at this time, she sat back by the stream and spread the bun on her head.She has waist-length hair, although it is withered and yellow, it is thick.According to the memories of the past, Yue Qiluo tied a bun for herself and fixed it with Kun Dao's long hairpin.I was about to take out some hairpins from my bosom, but found nothing, and my heart sank heavily, and said in a low voice: "That's right... I'm not a lay girl at the foot of the mountain, and I don't have any jewelry, why? Let's go see the lanterns."

Xu Yun broke off a branch from the side, broke it into several pieces, rubbed off the sharp thorns and handed it to her: "Use this."

Yue Qiluo took it hesitantly, and fixed the loose strands of hair.The branches are not as flexible as gold and silver, and they can't hold back the soft hair. She wet her hands in the stream again and smoothed the hair carefully.There happened to be a hosta flower growing nearby, Xu Yun picked a half-bloomed one, folded it off and put it in her hair.

The flowers are half open, and the person is also a half-grown girl, Xu Yun looked at her and said: "After the banquet at Aunt's house in Yaochi, Nen Jing flew into the purple cloud cart. No one picks up the jade hairpin, and it turned into the first flower in the south of the Yangtze River. When it was said that the jade hairpin was a fairyland feast in the sky, the daughter of the queen mother threw a jade hairpin down to earth, and it turned into a ground of jade hairpins. Although there is no real white jade hairpin to tie your hair, flowers and plants are better than gold and stone, and they are better than ordinary daughters. nice."

Yue Qiluo habitually lowered her head and smiled, then remembered that she had no appearance, so she lowered her head and sighed: "Senior brother lied to me again by talking nonsense."

Xu Yun stood up and pulled her down the mountain: "Let's go."

It was already afternoon when the two set off from the Taoist temple. They walked for an hour and a half from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. When they arrived at the town, it was already dark.At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, lanterns have been hung in the lantern market on the street, and there are many well-dressed girls among the passers-by, with jingling hairpins and embroidered satin jackets and skirts.Yue Qiluo walked among them, her jingchai sarong was the least conspicuous gray.On the contrary, Xu Yun's Taoist robes still cannot hide her beauty, she followed behind him, and for the first time she felt that she was not as good as a human being.

"It turns out that this is the human world back then."

Xu Yun turned her head and saw the lights in Huanqing's eyes, she stared at the lanterns in a daze like an old man, with vicissitudes of unknown years in her eyes.However, she withdrew her gaze and looked at him. It was another teenage girl with a sweet voice: "Brother, look at that stall."

Before Xuyun could react, she ran to the stall by herself, it turned out to be a jewelry stall.Seeing her pick up a silver hairpin and put it on her head, Xu Yun laughed and said: "How did you suddenly become a big girl today and care about dressing up all the time?"

Yue Qiluo took off the silver hairpin, picked up a tassel Bu Yao and pinned it to the side, turned her head to look at him, the white jade trumpet tassels dangling on her temples.She pouted and said, "Brother, does this look good?"

It was late, and the bright yellow lights set off her complexion as white as jade, not like the usual withered yellow.She had a face with nothing to recommend it, but only had thin pink lips.At this moment, she pouted her lips, and her eyes flickered, she was almost charming.Xu Yun was stunned, and blurted out: "It looks good."

After thinking for a while, he reached out and took off the Bu Yao from her hair, and said, "It's also very pretty with just this flower on it."

Yue Qiluo's eyes dimmed in frustration, and she said in a low voice: "It's clearly not good-looking, why are you lying to me?"

Xu Yun frowned and laughed: "It's really pretty, it doesn't matter what accessories you wear. Huanqing, it's you that look good, not that Bu Yao."

Yue Qiluo sighed, and said: "Brother, stop talking nonsense, I know I'm not good-looking at all. I'm the best looking, but it's a pity you can't see it anymore."

Xu Yun put away his smile, and said in a deep voice, "How important is your appearance?"

It's very important, Yue Qiluo said quietly in her heart, she only remembered that her life in every life was very different from this one.She naturally assigned this change to her appearance, thinking that her good looks also contributed to her smooth sailing.But Xu Yun's face choked her words back, she turned her head and said: "Brother, let's go."

She walked a few steps and found that Xu Yun did not follow.Looking back, he saw him trotting all the way over, stuffed a white jade tassel walking shaker into her hand, and said: "It's rare for you to go down the mountain once, just buy what you like, I shouldn't hurt you."

Yue Qiluo held the ice-cold white jade petunias in her hand, her nose was inexplicably sore, and she whispered, "Senior Brother, why are you so kind to me?"

Xu Yun rubbed the top of her hair with a smile, but didn't answer her: "Silly girl."

The lamp market in the town is not big, and after a few steps, it came out from the other end.There is a bend in a small river in front of you, and there are all kinds of water lamps floating on the water.Yue Qiluo didn't tie up any lanterns, and didn't have anyone to pay homage to, so he just walked onto the pier, squatted on the water and played with the splashes.

Someone set off fireworks in the distance. She propped her chin to watch, her neck was sore and numb all the time.An inexplicable joy suddenly rushed to her heart, she thought, this is the world.Is there any chance for a lifetime that slipped away from her once?

Xu Yun suddenly came up from behind her, bent down and straightened the hosta flower in her hair.Along the way, the petals have been fully unfolded, and it is a hosta blooming to the best point.He smiled and said, "Look, isn't it pretty?"

Yue Qiluo looked at herself in the water, sighed secretly, and thought to herself, maybe senior brother doesn't know what real good-looking is like!She began to miss her previous face, which was so beautiful no matter how she looked.

The joy in her heart has not dissipated, and she even began to plan for the future.If, just if, if she really returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty.Then the first thing is to leave the Taoist temple. Before leaving, you must teach the fake benevolent and stinky Taoist priests in the temple!Thinking about it further, her heart sank heavily.She thought of Yun Qi.

Xu Yun sat next to her, turned his head and asked her: "What's wrong?"

"Senior brother," she glanced at him, her eyes flickering, "Let's... just stop studying that immortal soul technique!"

Xu Yun's face darkened: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yue Qiluo looked away, "Actually, eternal life is far more difficult than we imagined. Even if we do achieve it, we still have to bear the burden of eternal life."

Xu Yun's expression eased, and he said: "It's a good thing that you can figure it out. In fact, I have been looking for opportunities to persuade you. After researching these days, I found that this soul technique needs to be driven by something powerful. Apart from the treasures of various sects, it is the inner alchemy of a hundred-year-old demon. No matter what, it is inevitable to go through a bloodbath if you want to get it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, is it really a blessing that the soul is immortal?"

When Yue Qiluo heard this, she felt sore in her heart, and she was on the verge of tears.Thousands of years of loneliness and loneliness, the deep kindness has been exhausted.He was killed again and again, spurned by thousands of people, and even had to watch the people around him die time and time again.She didn't say anything, but outsiders saw her as a heinous and evil creature.But isn’t eternal life bitter?In the end, she harmed her senior brother and herself.The soul art of immortality, she had long wanted to strangle it in the cradle.

"What's so good about being old and immortal." She managed to keep her voice steady, "In fact, it is the greatest gift for the world to be able to forget everything."

Xu Yun smiled and said: "You have figured it out, you have fully realized it."

Yue Qiluo laughed instead: "A great enlightenment? Senior brother, I lost it and found it again."

Xu Yun asked strangely: "Recover after losing?"

Yue Qiluo knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she turned her face to avoid talking: "Brother, what do you plan to do in the future, take over as the head?"

Xu Yun shook his head and smiled, "No, I plan to leave Qingyun Temple."

Yue Qiluo suddenly stood up: "You want to go?"

"I want to go out and see the world," Xu Yun said with a smile, "Maybe I'll be a wanderer for the rest of my life, maybe I'll settle down somewhere. I don't want to end this life in Qingyun Temple."

Yue Qiluo stood for a while, like a scoop of cold water was poured slowly from her celestial cap, cooling her whole body.It turned out that the senior brother was leaving, she should have thought about it a long time ago, how could Xu Yun's temperament be so peaceful?She squatted down slowly, thinking that he might travel the mountains and rivers, or meet a girl, make a vow of eternal love with her, get married, and have children.Thinking of Huayue's life, she said very disappointedly: "Brother, will you fall in love with a girl in the future?"

Xu Yun was stunned: "Maybe."

Yue Qiluo's heart was cold, and the water on her fingertips was also icy cold. She whispered: "Then if I was born beautiful, would you like me?"

Xu Yun looked at the girl in front of him, completely stunned.After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Huanqing, no matter what you look like, I will still like you."

Yue Qiluo glanced at him quickly, and said in a low voice: "I mean - it's not an ordinary liking, it's -"

"I know."

Yue Qiluo froze, and the hand holding the water flower stopped in the water.In the cool and shady water, a small fish was pecking at her finger.Her mind was in chaos, and she didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment.

"You're talking nonsense," she panicked, subconsciously thinking that Xu Yun was bluffing her, deliberately making fun of her, "what's so good about me, what's there to like? Brother, you're making fun of me again."

Xu Yun laughed: "Huanqing, not all likes in this world need a reason."

Yue Qiluo looked at him and was stunned.For the first time, she discovered that when the senior brother said this sentence, he looked a little like Zhang Xianzong. Why didn't she discover it before?Zhang Xianzong and his senior brother were indeed alone, she lowered her head with mixed emotions in her heart.Thinking of Zhang Xianzong, he felt a little ashamed.However, she immediately thought of Gu Zhi whose life and death were uncertain at this time, and her heart ached for a while.Between grief and joy, his figure swayed, his feet became unsteady, and he fell towards the water's edge.

Xu Yun only heard a splash, and seeing that Huanqing had fallen into the water, he exclaimed: "Huanqing!" In a panic, he also jumped into the water.Fortunately, Huanqing was proficient in water for some reason, so she didn't choke a few saliva.On the contrary, he jumped in a hurry, choked water in his nose, and coughed again and again.

Yue Qiluo was soaked in the water, completely stupid, she lifted up a strand of wet hair, looked at Xuyun and said: "Brother, why did you jump down?"

Xu Yun smiled wryly: "I thought you didn't understand water."

Yue Qiluo remembered the reason why she fell into the water, and there were two blushes of embarrassment on her cheeks.Is she old, or crazy?Even if she was in a daze, she could fall into the water, and she remembered Xu Yun's words just now, her face became hotter and she said softly: "Senior brother, do you really like me when you say you like me?"

Xu Yun was startled, then smiled softly and said: "Really."

Yue Qiluo's eyes were shining brightly: "Then when you travel around the mountains and rivers, you can take me with you."

Xu Yun's smile deepened, and he pinched her nose with his free hand: "Are you stupid because of the blisters? How could I not take you with me when I go out for a trip. You are timid all day long, why don't you stay in the Taoist temple?" to be bullied."

Yue Qiluo protested: "I'm not timid!" At the end, he added in a low voice, "Brother, you don't know, I'm already a big villain. When the time comes when I kill people without blinking an eye, and heinously, don't hate me."

"Okay, you are heinous, and I am full of evil." Xu Yun smiled, disapproving.

Yue Qiluo was about to return to him when he suddenly sneezed.Seeing this, Xu Yun said seriously: "Soak in the water, be careful of catching a cold, let's go up."

The clothes of both of them were soaked, walking on the bank was dripping with running water.Yue Qiluo walked a few steps, because her legs were sore and weak, she almost sprained her ankle.Xu Yun simply carried her on his back, and the two walked back with water stains all the way.

Yue Qiluo was lying on his back wetly, and the night wind was chilling through the material of the clothes.But her heart was full of heat, she thought, maybe she really got it back after losing it.In fact, there is nothing wrong with not having the glory of the ages.She was already tired of playing power spells, she was too cold to be at a high place, and being the number one in the world alone was too boring.She wants to be a little Taoist priest who travels mountains and rivers. She has no ambition and no future, which is fine.

She put her chin on his shoulder and whispered, "Brother, actually, I don't have to be a big villain. I don't have to be heinous, and you don't have to be full of evil."

Xu Yun nodded and said: "Okay."

Yue Qiluo dangled restlessly with her two little feet, and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Senior brother, let me take you to Sichuan, where the peppercorns are delicious!"

Xu Yun smiled and said, "You can go wherever you want."

She raised her head, looking at the sky filled with fireworks and Kongming lanterns, and the night wind with the fragrance of rhododendron brushed her cheeks.She said, "Brother, the rhododendrons are really fragrant."

She lived for 2000 years and discovered for the first time that the scent of flowers is also lovely.She really wanted to plant a rhododendron, it would be so fragrant, and she would live forever in the next life, it doesn't matter.

Xuyun carried her all the way back to the Taoist temple, listening to her endless fantasies, he just responded with a doting smile on his face.When he reached the foot of the mountain, Yue Qiluo yawned, he was sleepy.Xu Yun said: "Huanqing, you should sleep for a while. I will wake you up when you are near the Taoist temple."

"En..." When Yue Qiluo agreed, her eyes were already closed.A sudden drowsiness engulfed her, she lay on Xuyun's back, and soon fell asleep.

Just before falling asleep, her chaotic brain suddenly let out a sound.She remembered what happened before she came here.What exactly is the millennium sin that Yun Qi spoke of?

The author has something to say: Don't leave, it really won't be cruel in the future...it's not as cruel as the previous chapter.The last chapter can be said to be the most abusive peak!
