Night, forest, field hut.
It's the beginning of a strange novel, let alone an old lady in white...
But Ye Ying was sitting in the yard at the low table, drinking the fruit wine she brewed with the old lady.
Ye Ying was so thirsty that she wanted to drink water more than wine. But the aroma of this wine was too strong, she couldn't help but took a sip anyway.
It was so sweet and mellow that even she, who was not a fan of alcohol, was stunned and took another big gulp.
Putting down the bowl, Ye Ying saw the old lady looking at her with a smile.
She was a little embarrassed and sincere: "This is the best wine I've ever had."
The old lady smiled even more happily: "Just like it."
She raised her head, looked at a small piece of starry sky surrounded by tree shadows above her head, and said with emotion, "It's been a long time since no one drank with me."
Maybe it's because the wine is too mellow, even though Ye Ying thought of a bunch of strange folk tales, looking at the kind old lady in front of her, she still couldn't connect her with the mountain spirit and wild ghost: "Have you lived here for a long time?"
"yes."
The old lady smiled and sipped the wine in the bowl, her hair full of silver threads shone in the shadow of the lamp: "Every three years, I will make a jar of wine and bury it under the tree. After three years, dig it out and make new wine .”
"Your wine is really well brewed." Ye Ying replied honestly, holding up the wine bowl, and changed the cow drink into fine tasting: "Is there any secret recipe?"
"Someone taught me...many years ago."
The old lady's voice was gentle, and when she talked about the past, she said with reminiscence: "Later..."
later…
She smiled and lowered her head: "After I learned it, I brewed it and drank it myself."
A trace of loneliness flashed across her old face, but she finally covered it up with a smile.
Ye Ying intuited that this "someone" was probably her former lover, and seeing her dressed in rough linen and white...
That person is probably no longer alive.
Ye Ying was silent, feeling a little heavy. Even the wine bowl in his hand became overwhelming.
For some reason, her mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when the illusion was shattered in the afternoon.
Huang Xize's figure shattered for no reason, and was eroded in front of her eyes...
Thinking of this, Ye Ying felt uneasy, and hurriedly took a sip of wine to suppress her shock.
The wind lamp hanging on the door of the wooden house swayed slightly, and the warm yellow light shone on the old and the young sitting opposite. Ye Ying glanced over the opened door inadvertently, and her eyes froze instantly.
There were also lights in the house, brighter than outside. The house is so simple that it can be called bare, with only simple wooden furniture, which looks like it was made by myself.
But on the wall facing the door, there is a simple hanger made of wood, on which a white dress is unfolded and hung.
The style of the white dress looked old, and the color was no longer pure white, but maybe it was because of the lighting.
But it is well preserved, there are no snags or threads, and it is still neat and tidy.
Especially the beads adorned on it are still tightly stitched, shining brightly under the light.
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment.
Could this be the white clothes worn by the phantom in the grass sea?
Although it is far away, I can't see clearly...But two white clothes appeared within half a day, and the probability of no connection is too low!
But…
Ye Ying looked at the old lady suspiciously. She clearly remembered that the figure in Caohai had black hair, why now...
Could it be that that illusion...is actually someone's memory?
But if that's the case, why did Huang Xize's phantom appear there?
Ye Ying's head was full of messy clues, and she couldn't figure it out. While thinking hard, the old lady suddenly raised her head, looked towards the courtyard door, and said kindly, "The person who picked you up is here."
Ye Ying woke up from her thoughts, looked up and followed her line of sight, and saw Huang Xize standing outside the courtyard gate.
She was surprised: "Why are you here?" The next second she came back to her senses, she was even more surprised: "Why are you here?"
According to Huang Xize's level of flashing to her side at any time in the past, it shouldn't have taken so long to find her.
Huang Xize frowned, looked at her quietly, and didn't speak.
Ye Ying was a little puzzled, looked at him for a few seconds, then turned back to look at the old lady.
The old lady stood up and smiled peacefully: "Master Liu, I haven't seen you for many years."
After she opened her mouth, Huang Xize took a step forward and stepped into the yard.
He frowned even tighter: "Bai Fan? Is it really you?"
He walked to Ye Ying's side, held her fingers naturally, but kept his eyes on the old lady: "Why do you..."
"I'm getting old." The old lady named Bai Fan smiled, with a soft tone: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of the world."
"But it's only been less than two hundred years." Huang Xize's tone was serious, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed: "You are not..."
The old lady Bai interrupted him, her tone was calm: "Everything has a definite order, there are people, there are immortals."
She turned her head slightly, looking at the fruit tree caressed by the night wind: "This is my fate."
Huang Xize didn't speak again. He stared at Bai Fan, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.
In the end it was Ye Ying who broke the calm.
She was shocked. So this old lady is a fairy?
This is strange—although she has long been mentally prepared, the people living in this mountain are unlikely to be ordinary humans.
Even thirty thousand years old, who has lived for a thousand years, still looks like a young beauty. Could it be that this old lady is older than 30,000 years old?
No, it shouldn't. She still called Huang Xize "Six Lord"!
Ye Ying tugged at Huang Xize, and asked tentatively, "You...know each other?"
She really didn't know how to address Bai Fan - the old lady respectfully called Huang Xize the Sixth Master, and Huang Xize called him by his first name.
But the old lady looks like an elder! She is not a fairy, so she can't just call her by her name, right? !
Ye Ying shed tears in the wind, finding a husband who is too senior is not a good thing.
Huang Xize nodded, and for some reason, his tone was very heavy: "Yes."
His answers were also short, and he looked like he was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk much.
Ye Ying felt strange—could it be that he and Bai Fan did not deal with each other?
It shouldn't be, old lady Bai seems to have a very gentle personality, and she doesn't seem to have any conflicts with Huang Xize.
Bai Fan didn't seem to care about his sudden low pressure, his peaceful eyes moved to Ye Ying, and he smiled kindly: "Let me just say, this girl has the aura of an old friend."
Huang Xize looked at Bai Fan, and suddenly said, "She is my destiny."
"Fate Star..." The old lady Bai's expression was in a trance for a moment, and she quickly came back to her senses, smiling: "That's right, it can only be like this."
But after she finished speaking, Ye Ying was sensitive to notice that Huang Xize's mood seemed to be getting worse.
Ye Ying: "..."
So who is going to tell her and why? !
Huang Xize closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes and his expression returned to calm. It's just that Ye Ying is too familiar with him, and she can still feel a trace of coldness under the calm surface.
He nodded to Bai Fan: "Let's go, take care."
The old lady nodded with a smile.
Huang Xize pulled Ye Ying to turn around, and suddenly said: "This wine is not bad."
As he spoke, he kept walking and pulled Ye Ying away.
After a long time, Bai Fan's whisper came from the wind.
"...There is only wine."
Ye Ying was full of doubts, and was dragged through the forest by Huang Xize.
He walked very fast, but after walking all afternoon, Ye Ying's feet hurt a little, so she let out a "hiss".
This sound seemed to wake Huang Xize out of some gloomy mood, he stopped and looked at her: "Does your foot hurt?"
Ye Ying nodded, and in the next second, she was hugged by Huang Xize.
Seeing that he finally remembered herself, Ye Ying complained aggrievedly: "You still know to come?"
Huang Xize sighed: "I've been looking for you for a long time, but this hill is Bai Fan's territory, her 'realm'. If you forcefully break into it, it will hurt her."
After a pause, he added: "At the beginning, there was ghost energy interference, and I went in the wrong direction."
"Ghost air?" Ye Ying was surprised: "Is it a ghost?"
"no."
Unexpectedly, Huang Xize denied it categorically: "You don't have the aura of 魙 on your body anymore."
Ye Ying's eyes widened: "What's the situation? Did you get rid of it? When?"
"No, I just removed the brand mark." Huang Xize glanced at her, and the corner of his mouth curled up a little: "I've said it all, I've become stronger."
Ye Ying looked at him, a hundreds-year-old weasel, now with a little complacency, as if asking for credit. She couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, you are the best and most handsome weasel in the world."
Huang Xize: "..." perfunctory and vivid.
Ye Ying remembered the term "jie" he mentioned earlier, and asked: "Zuo Huai said that the immortals are all in another dimension...is that the 'jie'?"
"Yes." Huang Xize replied: "For example, the Immortal Temple is also in the 'Boundary'. But after all, that is our own territory, and this is Baifan's territory. It is not good to trespass without permission."
"I still want to ask..."
Just as Ye Ying was about to speak, she suddenly felt her body sinking!
Huang Xize seemed to be annoyed by her 100,000 whys, so he directly stopped her from asking questions like a cannonball.
Ye Ying was startled, and immediately hugged Huang Xize's neck tightly: "Ah, what's going on?!"
They, they seem to fly!
Green flames gushed out from Huang Xize's body, enveloping the two of them. As the green flames burned, their bodies also flew into the air, and finally broke free from the bushes, floating above the Cangshan Mountain soaked in the night.
Ye Ying was stunned, the only experience in her life shocked her to the point of speechlessness.
The sky hangs high, the evening stars are scattered, and there are boundless mountains and rivers under their feet. They roam between the sky and the earth, like a transcendent existence that will not be subject to any constraints.
Ye Ying stared blankly at the unbelievably magnificent scenery in front of her, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Huang Xize.
Under the night sky, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked at her without blinking.
Ye Ying's heart was pounding, Huang Xize in front of him seemed to be bewitched by his lover's face, slowly and reverently offered his lips.
Just a second before the lips and teeth touched each other, Ye Ying's fingers were in the middle.
She looked at Huang Xize with a sincere face: "I'll just ask one more thing - is Bai Fan your ex-girlfriend?"
Huang Xize: "...I also have something to ask you."
What is your purpose in coming to Earth?
