Reality and Games of Ancient Swords

Qinchuan is very lively at night, the annual lantern festival is popular, and the streets are full of people carrying all kinds of lanterns.There are couples, families of three or several, and groups of children. In short, it seems that there are no orphans.

It was like going back to many years ago when Ji Yan came to Qinchuan alone to celebrate the Lantern Festival.Gu Ying was alone, without even a companion.After finding Baili Tusu, she would bring Baili Tusu and Lingyue to celebrate every festival.Moreover, every year before the festival, she would specially go back to Qinglong Town in advance, call Shang Yuqi, and go with her to Xie Yi, who is far away in other places, to celebrate the festival together.

Looking at the pedestrians with smiles on their faces, Ji Yan was not in the mood to feel the festive atmosphere, but was full of thoughts about where Baili Tusu was.Through the turbulent crowd, through the quiet alleys, she searched everywhere, running from one place to another, but there was no sign of Baili Tusu.

At this moment, Hui Xi suddenly appeared and flew towards a place at a high speed.

Ji Yan followed immediately.

When he came to the place where Hui Xi stopped, Ji Yan could faintly feel that there was still a trace of the power of burning silence.

Looking up at the moon above her head, Ji Yan's heart tightened, she put away her wisdom, and when she was about to leap into the midair, a voice sounded slowly from behind her, neither too fast nor too slow. "Miss Ji is looking for Baili Shaoxia."

Turning around, Ji Yan looked at the person who appeared behind her, and said coldly, "Ouyang Shaogong."

Ouyang Shaogong was still dressed in the daytime, wearing an apricot-colored long gown, with long hair tied casually and hanging on the side of his chest.He was here without the rain, but alone.The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he bowed his hands to Ji Yan in a refined manner: "When this Lantern Festival is a grand event, I rented a boat on the spur of the moment. I met Baili Shaoxia who was unconscious, and now he is resting on the disembarked boat."

Ji Yan stared at Ouyang Shaogong, suddenly chuckled and said, "Then Ji Yan would like to thank you sir."

Ouyang Shaogong just smiled lightly.

Facing Ouyang Shaogong, Ji Yan didn't dare to relax a bit. This person hides so deeply that she really can't be honest with him. "Mr. Trouble take me to find the brook."

Ouyang Shaogong chuckled lightly and said, "Miss Ji is still wary of me, what's the reason?"

Ji Yan said: "You are very smart, and the city is extremely deep. It is really not a good thing to be an enemy of someone like you. When I first met Mr., I found that you have a high level of cultivation, and your cultivation level is not low. With you like this Cultivation, you shouldn't be trapped in Fanyunzhai, but you are not only trapped in it, but also pretended to be an ordinary person. At that time, I was thinking, what is your purpose, now it seems... It is for that A shattered soul stone."

Ouyang Shaogong said calmly: "I'm here for Yuheng, and I'm hiding myself in order not to be discovered by the Qingyu altar disciples. After all, I'm now the target of the Qingyu altar."

Ji Yan thought for a while, and felt that what Ouyang Shaogong said was right. As a fugitive who wanted to be arrested from all over the jade altar, it was understandable for him to withdraw his cultivation and pretend to be an ordinary person.Nodding his head, Ji Yan walked over, came to him and stopped continuing the topic just now, and said, "Then please trouble me to take me to Xiaoxi."

Ouyang Shaogong nodded and smiled, and said, "Miss Ji, follow me this way."

The two, one in front of the other, passed through the quiet alleys and alleys, and came directly to the crowded lantern festival.There were so many people at this lantern festival, Ji Yan was squeezed away after only a few steps, looking at Ouyang Shaogong who was pushed to the front, Ji Yan wrinkled his nose, and murmured: "Sure enough, a place with many people It's not that fun either."

Pushed to the front, Ouyang Shaogong stopped and turned to look at Ji Yan.I saw that she was carefully squeezing towards him.In fact, with her cultivation base, she could push away the people around her with a little magic, but she was like an ordinary person, slowly and hard, pushing towards him.

She wrinkled her nose and looked so cute.

After finally coming to him, Ji Yan rubbed his chest, and couldn't help complaining: "I'm going, is there still a lantern festival? I think the people's festival is about the same, and there are all heads at a glance."

Ouyang Shaogong was amused by her analogy, he said with a low smile: "There are indeed many people at the Lantern Festival, and the lady of Qinchuan's richest businessman, Sun's family, wants to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives, so there are even more people here."

"Throwing a hydrangea... recruiting relatives?" Ji Yan said with a strange expression: "If you throw it to an old man with pockmarked face and pus all over his body, wouldn't Miss Sun's family be unlucky? I thought that throwing a hydrangea to recruit relatives only existed in drama Among them, who would have thought that there would be people who would actually recruit a son-in-law purely by luck."

Ouyang Shaogong smiled and said: "It's better than a martial arts contest to recruit relatives. Toss a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives, at least throw it according to Miss Sun's wishes. With so many people passing by, there is always someone who agrees."

Ji Yan shook his head in disapproval, and said: "It's not reliable, this kind of marriage is not reliable at all. Two people don't even know each other, so how can they get married? This is too bad. Marriage is not a matter of feeling. It’s here. After a long time, if the feeling is gone, isn’t it a loss?”

Ouyang Shaogong's eyes were half down, his voice was suddenly cold, and he said: "Who in this world can have consistent feelings? After a long time, the first oath will become a lie. The so-called consistent, never leave, stick to it It was just a whim at the beginning..."

Ji Yan felt that what Ouyang Shaogong said was really dark. "Who said that there is no consistent relationship in this world? I have always been consistent with my husband-in-law, and my friend has never given up on the person he loves. No matter whether the other party is born, old, sick or dying, or changes his appearance, I have always been inseparable." abandoned."

Ouyang Shaogong bent his beautiful phoenix eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Oh? I was a little curious before, how can I look like Miss Ji's husband?"

Ji Yan looked at him, and suddenly said calmly: "Actually, you both look different at all, but your behavior, speaking style, and temperament are very similar. When we first met, I thought you were very much like him..." After a pause, she laughed at herself again: "But I know, you are not him." She has found Dongfang Qing's reincarnation, and she has already found it. Even if the young man in front of her looks like that person, it cannot be him.

After finishing speaking, she said again: "Okay, let's go, there are too many people here." Ji Yan felt that squeezing out was a big problem, and it was almost stupid to squeeze.

Ouyang Shaogong looked at her steadfastly, then suddenly stretched out a hand towards her, and said: "Miss Ruoji will not give up, but I can hold her hand."

Without any hesitation, she held her paw up and said, "I don't dislike it, there are so many people here, and you won't be afraid of being squeezed out if you hold hands." After all, she is not a girl of this era, holding a man's hand, what's the big deal? .

Ouyang Shaogong was taken aback by the warmth from his palm, as if he had held her hand a long time ago, but he quickly regained his senses, held her hand slightly, and walked with her in this crowded lantern festival.The two walked one behind the other, neither fast nor slow.The noisy sounds of people passing by the two of them gradually became distant, and Ji Yan felt for a moment that the world seemed to be stopped in time.

Several children laughed and ran past Ouyang Shaogong and Ji Yan. When they ran past Ouyang Shaogong, one of the children accidentally ran into him.When he was hit and leaned to one side, and was about to bump into the person next to him, Ji Yan's hand that was held by him pulled him towards her, and leaned against her.

"Be careful," she said softly.

The body was close to Ji Yan, and a trace of scorching heat appeared inexplicably, as if scalding him, causing Ouyang Shaogong to turn around quickly and face her face to face.

"What's the matter?" Seeing him suddenly turn around, Ji Yan was a little puzzled.

Ouyang Shaogong looked at her and didn't speak.

Ji Yan asked strangely: "Did you hit him?" As he spoke, he took another step forward and approached him, with a concerned look on his face.

Ouyang Shaogong twitched his eyebrows inadvertently and then quickly opened them. He said with a light smile, "It's nothing."

"It's okay, let's go." He took his hand naturally, this time it was Ji Yan who walked in front, and the positions of the two just changed in an instant.

"Mr. Ouyang, be careful, there are more people."

"...Thank you, Miss Ji, for reminding me, I know."

When they came to the place where Ouyang Shaogong rented the boat, Ji Yan saw that the river bank was full of people, and they were all setting off lanterns.

Letting go of Ouyang Shaogong's hand, Ji Yan looked at the lanterns floating on the river, and couldn't help sighing: "It's so beautiful." Then, she ran to the river bank, turned her head and smiled brightly at Ouyang Shaogong, and said: " Look, sir, there are so many lanterns, so beautiful!"

That smile made Ouyang Shaogong's heart tremble, as if he had seen this smile a long time ago.

He... knows her?

A strange idea crossed his mind, he walked over, came to her side, and suddenly asked: "I'm so abrupt, I don't know what is Miss Ji's husband's name? Where is it?"

When Dongfangqing was mentioned, Ji Yan looked a little lonely. She looked at the lanterns burning with candles in front of her, looked at the river surface brightly lit by candles, and said softly: "He passed away, a long time ago. , the time I spent with him was very short, after he died... I have been waiting for him... As for the last name, it doesn't matter that much... No matter what his name is, he is him, just him... "Speaking of this, she thought of Baili Tusu, the reincarnation of Dongfang Qing, the child she couldn't have any love for.

"By the way, where is Xiaoxi?" Ji Yan then asked.

"Young man Baili is resting on the boat, Miss Ji can just get on the boat." Pointing to the boat docked by the river.

Ji Yan lifted her skirt and quickly boarded the boat.

Seeing Ji Yan's hurried appearance, Ouyang Shaogong suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and said strangely: "I don't know what Miss Ji should do when she sees Baili Shaoxia with another woman..."
