The general and his spoiled wife

Chess Road Mountain, another storm.

In the Sutra Pavilion, Yuan Bi flipped through the ancient books left by the sages of the past dynasties, and asked in puzzlement: "Master, what is the meaning of this, junior sister? Why did you suddenly order us to thoroughly investigate Xingchengu? Xingchengu, this place has never been heard of." Have you heard it, Master, have you heard it?"

Yuan Xi, with white beard and white hair, was wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a fairy-like bone.Hearing this, the fingers that flipped the pages of the book paused briefly. He thought about it carefully and searched through all the memories in his mind, but he couldn't find anything related to Star Valley.

He said: "The master of the mountain has her own reasons for doing things, Bi'er, now she is a master of chess, you can no longer call her junior sister, the way of chess is orderly, don't mess up the rules."

Yuan Bi put down the ancient books and bowed to receive instruction: "Yes, Master."

"As for the Star Valley..."

Yuan Xi looked at Nuo Da's Buddhist scripture pavilion, and said proudly: "As long as it existed, there will always be traces to follow. Qidao Mountain has a long history. If you can't find clues to Xingshen Valley here, there will be no clues in other places." .Keep looking."

Yuan Bi pulled himself together, and for a moment, he rubbed his itchy nose, and suddenly asked: "Master, since you said that the mountain master found the general, why didn't he bring him back to the mountain? Didn't the two of them already..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh……"

The two masters and apprentices led the eighteen Taoist elders on the mountain to search for a few words about Xingchengu in the vast sea of ​​books.

The female doctor leisurely passed by the door of the Sutra Pavilion with a birdcage in her hand. Yuan Bi caught a glimpse of her navy blue clothes through the bookshelves, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Mo, I want to eat sweet and sour balls for lunch today!"

Female doctor Mo waved her hand, without turning her head, she cursed the brat in her heart, and replied, "Got it."

The sun gradually rises, and the hustle and bustle of the night fades away. During the day, Fengcheng is quiet like a weak beauty.

In the inn, Yun Ci sat in front of the couch and stared at her sweetheart tenderly. The handkerchief gently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and said affectionately: "Brother, no matter what happened in the past, I will be by your side, I will not despise you, let alone leave you, don't be afraid."

Jiang Huai slept deeply. After long and late nights of thinking, Yun Ci had long ago put things in order, and the truth was getting closer and closer to that unbelievable answer.

Different time and space soul.

The corners of Yun Ci's lips curved slightly: "No matter where you come from, you are my elder brother."

She brushed Jiang Huai's beautiful eyebrows with her hand, leaned over and kissed her lips lightly, the lips were soft and slightly cool.

Jiang Huai opened his eyes at this moment.

Her eyes were brighter than the stars, and she smiled with the innocence and irresistible charm of a teenager: "A Ci, how long have I been asleep?"

"Seven hours."

Yunci caringly helped her up, and glanced at her slightly open collar.

Jiang Huai's lips curled up slightly: "A Ci, do you want to help me change my clothes?"

Jiang Huai was very happy to wake up and see the person she wanted to see. She put her arms around the little girl's waist.

Unable to support herself, Yun Ci leaned against her arms and said angrily, "You want to do something bad again?"

Jiang Huai nodded: "Yes, I can't help bullying Aci when I see her."

"Then how do you want to bully me?"

Jiang Huai's fingertips brushed her throat, causing Yun Ci's body to tremble. She smiled recklessly, full of flair: "I want to bully you, I had a nightmare, do you want to comfort me?"

"comfort?"

"Yes, comfort."

Jiang Huai couldn't help swallowing, and wet and hot kisses fell on the side of her neck: "A Ci, I dreamed that my parents' stars fell."

The choking in her voice seemed to be unstoppable, she hugged him tightly in her arms, feeling the little girl's body softening little by little, her heart also softened, and the kiss became more and more gentle.

Yun Ci was forced to raise her head, and silently endured her light or heavy kisses, her breathing was slightly chaotic, with uncontrollable panting.

She grabbed Jiang Huai's gold-thread-trimmed cuff, and slowly tightened her five fingers—the feeling Jiang Huai brought her was so familiar.

If there is any difference between the brother she knew in the past and the brother she knew, maybe it can be described with a bad word.

Worse, more evil, more willful, and more insane.

Her legs and feet were weak, and she finally groaned when she couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Huai loved her voice so much, but knew she couldn't continue.She can't bully the little girl too much, otherwise Ah Ci will be annoyed.

But she couldn't bear to push people away just like that.So she raised her eyebrows lightly, buried her head and kissed her collarbone: "Okay, I'll let you go~"

The little girl's eyes were full of water, and she said aggrievedly: "When I woke up, I knew I was bullying me. Brother, you know that I love you, but you seized the opportunity to make things worse."

She was so exhausted, her bright eyes turned lightly, she hugged Jiang Huai's neck, and said softly, "Hold me to the dressing table."

Jiang Huai had always listened to her, and she didn't care about wearing an outer robe, and hugged her in her inner garment.

Through the bronze mirror, after seeing the extremely conspicuous hickey marks on the side of her neck, Yun Ci stared at her in shame: "Brother, you deliberately played tricks, didn't you?"

Jiang Huai chuckled twice, lifted her chin lightly, and said rather arrogantly: "You are mine in the first place, can't I bully you?"

Yun Ci was rendered speechless by her domineering and childish words. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her disheveled clothes, and quickly calmed down with a faint anger in her heart. She said, "Come here."

Jiang Huai leaned over obediently, Yun Ci said helplessly, "Come closer."

"Are you going to beat me?"

"Who's going to beat you up!" Yun Ci raised her forehead.

The Jiang Huai in front of him looks more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, far less mature and stable.She sighed softly, her voice was flowing and indescribably gentle: "Brother, come here, your belt is untied, and I will tie it on for you."

"That's it." Jiang Huai walked over with a smile.

The two were very close, Yun Ci restrained her shyness and pulled up her belt lightly, suddenly felt that this elder brother was just a child.Looking at her dotingly, his knuckles were flying and he carefully adjusted the collar for her: "Go and get the robe."

Jiang Huai was reluctant to move next to her, stretched out his long arms, casually glanced at the robe hanging on the hanger, a wave of inner strength swayed, lightly flicked his bare hands, and took the robe over in a blink of an eye.

She happily handed the clothes to Yunci.

Yun Ci smiled and said, "Brother, are you proud?"

"Isn't it something to be proud of? Compared with martial arts, isn't A Ci changing my clothes the most gratifying thing in the world?"

"It's sweet."

Yun Ci carefully put on her robes, stroked her chest with her fingertips, and asked a very strange question: "Brother, how old are you this year?"

"sixteen."

Sixteen.

Yunci sighed deeply in her heart.

Jiang Huai liked her when she saw her, and the smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed: "Today I'm going to start an alchemy furnace, will Ah Ci accompany me?"

"Yes, I will accompany you whatever you do."

Jiang Huai smiled brightly: "After I finish refining the wound medicine and the Zhuyan Pill for you, we will go back to the Valley of the Stars, last night..."

She paused: "It's very likely that I was wrong last night. I have to go back and see for myself. Parents don't stay in the valley all year round, or they are practicing some kind of weird skills, so that the dimness of the stars is covered."

She held Yun Ci's hand tightly and drew strength from it: "Dad and mother must be waiting for me to come home in the valley. I have a playful nature and like to play games in the world. I run out two or three times almost every year. They must miss me." .Aren't you right, Ah Ci?"

The corners of Yunci's eyes were slightly wet, and she said with a smile: "Yes. I will accompany brother home."

"Aci, I really like you." Jiang Huai looked at her steadfastly, held her hand and stepped out the door: "Go, I will take you to make alchemy."

In my impression, this was the second time Yun Ci saw her raise her hand to refine the elixir, and the shock was no less than the first time.

Standing in front of the medicine stove, the boy seemed to be glowing.

Her self-confidence and her bright smile are all deeply loved by Yun Ci.

Jiang Huai crushed the herbs skillfully. In order to let the little girl beside her see her every step clearly, she deliberately slowed down. Every time there was a further movement, she would explain it patiently.

Yun Ci is a real layman in alchemy, even so, she also understands a lot after refining a furnace of elixir.

"Does Aci know what my dream is?"

Jiang Huai handed her the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine, and she was in high spirits: "I am Xing Shengu A Xing, a genius that my father said will not be born in 300 years, and my dream is to stand on Cang Qiong Mountain and become the number one pharmacist in the world. Ah Ci, do you think my dream will come true?"

"Yes." Yun Ci said firmly.

"Yes, it will definitely come true!" Jiang Huai hugged her in his arms: "Let's go, let's go back to Star Valley!"

Valley of Stars...

Yunci's heartstrings tightened, and then trembled.

She lowered her head in pity, not letting Jiang Huai see the sadness in her eyes.

If she guessed right, in this life...she might never be able to return to brother's house again.The years are so long, and the home is gone, she can't guess whether her brother will collapse.

She clasped her fingers tightly together, walked forward, and thought to herself: Maybe my brother has collapsed a long time ago...

Being sober sometimes means being cruel.

The road to Star Valley had to go south all the way, and it took them three days to ride their horses to a strange and vast water marsh.

Jiang Huai stood there in a daze for a long time, until her eyes were sore, her knees were weak when she got off the horse, and she took two steps and fell to her knees suddenly: "Where is home? Where is my home?"

Yun Ci hugged her waist tightly, tears also fell down: "Brother, I'm still...I'm still here!"

There are hundreds of miles of water and few people.

Jiang Huai broke free from her, and said sadly: "Impossible, I don't believe it, what about my home? This is the Valley of Stars, I won't remember it wrong!"

Her fingertips were cold, and she walked towards Shuize recklessly: "Father? Father, I'm back! Mother? Mother, where are you?"

Yunci let her go to Shuize, bent down, and finally hugged her knees and cried bitterly: "Brother..."

Jiang Huai's eyes were red, and the slap of her palm caused countless water splashes, her clothes were wet: "Where is the home? Where are the parents? What happened? What happened! The home is gone, so I...why am I still here?" alive?"

She continued walking deeper, ignoring the cries behind her.

Her mind was in a mess, and she muttered: "A Xing, I'm a genius A Xing, how can I even misidentify the star position? My family... is gone, and my parents are gone... What about me? Why should I Living under this strange starry sky? Who am I? Who is Jiang Huai?"

"Brother...Brother, come back!"

The heart-piercing shouts made her heart ache, and Jiang Huai looked back helplessly, "Ah Ci... I don't have a home anymore... My home is gone..."

Yun Ci couldn't hear what she was saying, so she got up and followed her to Shui Ze: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you!"

After the great grief, Jiang Huai's face was numb, and she said quickly: "I am Xingchengu A Xing, Xingchengu is the holy land of Taoism, and I am a son of Taoism. If the authentic Taoism is still there today, why would Xingchengu turn into a hundred miles away?" Mizusawa? Parents are so powerful, why can’t their stars be found in the sky? No...I don’t believe it…I don’t believe it!!”

She walked forward crazily, with a crazy expression: "I must have remembered wrongly, this is not Star Valley, my home is not here, yes, my home is not here!"

She raised her eyes to Baili Shuize, covered her face and wept, "If it's not here, where is it?"

The loneliness in her heart surged up, tears covered her eyes, she raised her head and laughed: "Who the hell am I..."

"Brother? Brother!" Yun Ci fell into the water with one foot.

Jiang Huai turned her head slowly, and before the death was completely swept away, she saw the girl struggling in the water.

"Brother... come back, come back!"

Jiang Huai shook her head: "No...no..."

She is still going deep.The water covered her waist, and she slowly sank, this is the valley of stars, she dares to swear on her life, this is the valley of stars!

It is the home where she has lived for 16 years.

The home is gone, why is she still alive?What is her reason for living?

"Ah...brother!"

The grief-stricken cry made her chest swell and numb, and Jiang Huai was awakened by her in a daze—who?Who is calling me?

She dived up from the bottom of the water, and the girl fell into the water and never showed her head again.

The pain in the heart became more and more intense, Jiang Huai blinked, and tears rolled down her cheeks: "Ah Ci..."

The pain woke her up instantly: "A Ci!"

In an instant, a strong desire to survive burst out in her eyes, and she said in a panic: "A Ci, I will save you, don't be afraid, I will save you!"

The morning light poured down on the earth, and the water sparkled.

After exhausting herself and holding the person in her arms out of the water, Jiang Huai couldn't stop crying on the ground: "A Ci, please don't worry...I have nothing left, I can't live without you..."

From daytime to late night, Yunci was awakened by her crying.

Beside the bonfire, the person she loved cried so heartbroken that even her heart ached: "Brother..."

"Aci?"

Jiang Huai stood up and walked over quickly: "A Ci, A Ci, are you okay?"

Her fingers trembled on the little girl's wrist.

"Brother, don't cry." Yun Ci gently embraced her body: "I will feel bad. Don't cry."

"Don't cry, I won't cry." Jiang Huai hurriedly wiped away her tears: "I'll listen to Ah Ci, I won't cry!"

Tears could not be stopped, Yun Ci helplessly raised her sleeves, breathing weakly: "I will feel distressed after talking about it, why are you still crying?"

Jiang Huai hugged her tightly with both hands, crying in grief: "Aci! Aci, I have no home, I can't find a home! I can never go back!"

"You still have me, Jiang Huai, I'm yours."

"No, no! I'm not Jiang Huai, I'm A Xing, I'm Xing Shengu's genius A Xing!" A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of her mouth!

Yun Ci's tears rolled down the corner of her lips, looking at Jiang Huai who fell into a coma in her arms again, she said: "Sleep, brother."

Taking out the medicine bottle from her sleeve, after thinking for a while, Yun Ci swallowed the small green pill, gently pried open her mouth with the tip of her tongue, and sent the medicine in little by little.

The bonfire burned all night, but Jiang Huai never woke up.

In this way, three days have passed.

There are no stars and no moon tonight, and the guardian envoy of Qidao Mountain appeared in the dark night: "Lord of the mountain, we have found it."

Yun Ci sat there without moving, until now, she didn't dare to touch the vague truth.

The envoy retreated silently, continuing to guard secretly.

The wind blows in through the window, and I don't know how long it has passed, Yun Ci glanced at the person sleeping on the couch, got up and walked to the table.

The brocade box was opened, and she took a long breath, shaking her hands and mustering up the courage to unfold the past.

The message sent by Qi Dao Mountain is very short, so short that it can be understood at a glance:

"Star sinking valley, Supreme Promise, sacred place of Taoism, 500 years ago, the whole valley... was destroyed!"
