20. The Long Night (Part 2)(1/2)
"Swish"
The breeze drifted like a wisp of breeze swept through the night, and finally stayed on the eaves of Suzhou Yanyu Tower.
Liu Zhuoran, with his disheveled hair, was carrying two small wine jars in his hand, and his movements were lightly on the bricks and tiles of the eaves, without causing any movement. He looked forward and his old friend was lying on the slope of the eaves.
It was like lying on the bed, piling your hands under your head, looking at the starry sky above your head, and the bright moon.
The moon is always gentle.
Even if you look at it for a long time, you will not burn your eyes as if you are staring at the sun. The moon yarn is gentle, just like the caress of a lover, very gentle.
"Give."
Liu Zhuoran stepped forward, sat next to Hua Qing, and handed him a jar of wine. The small jar was a little bigger than his fist and was not heavy in his hand.
"Yo, this is surprising today."
Hua Qingyi sat up, took the wine jar, tore open the cover, glanced at Liu Zhuoran, and said:
"I'm going to work hard tomorrow, and I won't see Shen treat you well. Is it because the couple is having a conflict? That's why I remembered that my lonely old friend would be a good friend?"
"No, I'm very happy."
Liu Zhuoran ignored Hua Qing's joke, picked up the wine jar, took a sip of it, wiped his mouth again, and looked at the night view of Suzhou at this high place, and the lights of thousands of houses illuminated the endless darkness.
He said:
"I came to find you specifically. As you said, the war is about to begin, but your state at this moment makes me very worried. Huaqing, I still remember that when I first met you, you were so carefree, as if you passed by a bunch of flowers without touching your body.
But look at you now, it’s like you’re transferred into the quagmire and you’re not free.”
"Oh, what's the point?"
Hua Qing sighed, her tone full of discouragement.
He also drank a sip of wine and said:
"If you practice on earth, you have to cleanse your heart from the world. Everything in the world needs to be experienced. So many things have passed smoothly before, but unexpectedly, you will fall into this last hurdle.
The love disaster in the world is so embarrassing."
When he said this, the decadence on Hua Qing's face and the worry from his heart made Liu Zhuoran feel a little empathetic. He sighed and reached out to pat his brother's shoulders.
Asked again:
"Does she still not respond to you? I think you are very good when you get along."
“It’s stuck there.”
Hua Qing shook her head and said:
“It’s hard to move forward without going up or down.
I have always been very confident in myself in all aspects, but now I am treated so coldly by Miss Aqing, which is really a blow.
I don’t know how to continue to develop with her. You also know that her temperament is very different from that of women in this world. If you say it is simple, it is actually not simple either.
It’s like being closed to my mind. No matter how skilled I have, it’s hard to break through.
I originally wanted to have a good talk with her in Suzhou, but she turned to Miaojiang and after she came back, she hid in Lin'an. Shen Qiu, who said she was a brother, even helped her hide her.
It really makes people feel uncomfortable. She is hiding from me, and I don’t know if she did something wrong.”
Liu Zhuoran pursed his lips and wanted to give some advice.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Shen Lan takes the initiative to get together with her and Shen Lan. In addition, her fate is so serious. Although the process is a little tortuous, the love story between the two did not have much setbacks and torture.
There is no such pain as Hua Qing, who is unable to get it now.
With his limited experience in this regard, it was really difficult to give useful suggestions. The two old men just sat under the moon, and Hua Qing kept complaining. Liu Zhuoran sat quietly and listened, responding from time to time.
When the two jars of wine were almost finished, Liu Zhuoran changed the topic.
He glanced at the moonlight above his head and complained to his side, as if he had fallen into the world from the clouds and was worried about the world. Hua Qing said:
"I still remember that you told me before that you have a knot in your mind when you are practicing."
"Um."
Hua Qing nodded, he glanced at Liu Zhuoran and said:
"So you came for this, you are afraid that I went to Penglai and couldn't stand the temptation of the ancestor. I voted there in order to seek the way of immortality?"
"I don't think you'll do that."
Liu Zhuoran said frankly:
"But your situation is special, and you may not want to do this, but those instincts that are hidden in your soul and not controlled by you may force you to do this.
After all, your life is not yet completed, and those memories of Qingyuejun are still affecting you, right?"
"right."
The flower green is not hidden.
He poured the last sip of wine from the jar into his mouth, breathed happily, stood up and said:
"I was actually worried about this. I thought that this time I went to Penglai, so I would not go, stay in Suzhou, or go to the north to help Qingqing do big things.
But after thinking about it, I felt that I still had to go there.
This may be a destiny, Zhuoran.
I must go through this, resolve the last slightest influence left by Qingyuejun, completely complete my transformation, and shape a real flower green, not a memory mixture between Qingyuejun and Hua Wanhong.
This is very important to me.
but..."
He let out a long sigh, looked back at Liu Zhuoran, and he said:
"You promised me something, Zhuoran, for the sake of your and my brothers, I want to ask you for help. If I am in Penglai Mountains, I cannot resist the temptation of practicing in my heart, and I will defect...
I will pick up your Lingxu sword and kill me with one sword!
I would rather die than experience the experience of being taken away once more.
Promise me, Zhuoran, you are not killing me, you are helping me."
This request made Liu Zhuoran silent. After several breaths, he also raised the wine jar, drank the last sip of wine, and stood up, standing under the moonlight and in the darkness with Hua Qing.
He said:
"I promise you that you will definitely take action quickly and will not cause you torture."
"Well."
This answer makes Hua Qing's expression strange.
He looked at Liu Zhuoran and said:
"As a brother, shouldn't you think about how to stop me from becoming a demon than killing me in a straightforward way?"
"You can do this kind of thing yourself."
Liu Zhuoran waved his head, looked back at Yanyulou, and said:
"I'm just responsible for killing the enemy. I'm calling me there. You can enjoy the moon alone, and I'll accompany her."
After saying that, Liu Zhuoran flew up and left the single dog here.
Hua Qing suddenly felt lonely and cold.
He sighed, raised his head, looked at the moonlight above his head, and said:
"Fortunately, fortunately you are with me. Moon, Moon, you said, how great it would be if you could convey my thoughts to that woman."
At the same time, in Lin'an City.
Shen Qiu had just returned to his courtyard from Nirvana Temple. Yaoqin and Huiyin had already rested. They would also have to travel far tomorrow morning, and it is not suitable for strenuous exercise tonight.
Shen Qiu thought about staying in the study for one night, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ah Qing sitting behind the desk holding Qing Yuzhu.
This great master seemed to be waiting for him specifically.
"Hua Qing looked for you everywhere, just like being crazy, you are also heartless and just hide from him. If you really don't want to talk, just reject him. It would be a bit bad to keep hanging like this."
Chen Qiu stood at the door and said something to Ah Qing.
The latter raised his head, glanced at him, and said in a cold tone:
"I don't hate him, but I just don't know how to accept him. This time I went to Miaojiang and got a ghost from my wife that can connect my mind, but I don't know if it should be used.
After thinking about it, I came to ask you, maybe, you can give me some advice."
"You guys are one by one!"
Chen Qiu's tone suddenly became a little angry, he said:
"Why did Chen become an expert in this matter in the eyes of you foolish men and women? Ah Qing, we are familiar with each other. If you say that, I will be really angry."
"Then I apologize."
Ah Qing said something, after a breath, he said again:
To be continued...
