Chapter 484 Qixi Lantern Festival
"Okay, then I will trust you just once!"
Jiaoxian saw that Ouyang Shaogong's misery did not seem to be fake, put away the thousand-year-old ice silk that was bundled squarely, and raised his hand to accept the 'Dream Soul Pill' thrown by Ouyang Shaogong.
Looking down at the radiant elixir in his palm, although Jiaoxian had some doubts in his heart, his obsession with his wife made him take the elixir on the spot without hesitation.
In a trance, the eyes that were originally filled with haze and resentment seemed to light up. Zhou Ji and Ouyang Shaogong didn't know what Jiaoxian saw when he took the Menghun Pill, but they could see the joy in his eyes and the smile on his face. , it was a kind of joy from the heart, with a bit of longing for reunion after a long absence, and a bit of relief with longing and hope.
Fang Ruqin watched Jiaoxian float up into the air and slowly sink into the lake, her brows were slightly frowned, showing a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with him?"
Ouyang Shaogong concealed the gloominess that flashed in his eyes, and showed a refined and gentle smile, "It should be that he met his wife in a dream."
'Meeting in a dream'? Are you afraid you won't be able to wake up?
Zhou Ji didn't believe that Ouyang Shaogong would be so kind to give Jiaoxian the so-called 'elixir'.
There must be something wrong with that pill.
As for what the problem is, come here again in a few days to find out.
Zhou Ji thought of this, and said with a normal expression: "Lan Sheng knew that Miss Ruqin was in danger, so he must be very anxious."
"Lan Sheng!" Thinking of her younger brother, Fang Ruqin suddenly came to her senses, thanked Zhou Ji and Ouyang Shaogong again, and followed them to the outside of Wuling Mountain Stream.
After all, Ouyang Shaogong doesn't know how to control a sword, and Fang Ruqin is a woman, so Zhou Ji can't hold one in his hand, or carry one on his back. To avoid Fang Lansheng's worry, Zhou Ji doesn't want to be a light bulb by the side, so On the pretext of going back early to report to Lan Sheng and the others, Fang Ruqin was handed over to Ouyang Shaogong to take care of him.
The two found the carriage waiting outside Wuling Mountain. The accompanying maid and groom were surprised to find that Miss Mingming went to Wuling Mountain alone. When she came out, there was Mr. Ouyang beside her.
On this side, Zhou Ji returned home early, Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue heard from Lan Sheng that Fang Ruqin might be in danger, and they all came to the courtyard to wait.
On the official road of Wuling Mountain Stream, Ouyang Shaogong got into the carriage and watched Fang Ruqin take out the thousand-year-old ice silk from the box. He was not as happy as she thought, and his elegant and easy-going expression became a little heavy and sad. strangeness.
"Ruqin, why are you bothering?" Ouyang Shaogong gradually avoided Fang Ruqin's sight, and said in a deep voice, "I don't care how you know what Qin means to me, I have already told you Someone is here, Ruqin, don't wait for me any longer."
"I understand. I already knew when I heard you tell Jiaoxian that you once had a lover." Fang Ruqin said softly, "But I didn't ask you to promise me. This string really didn't come easily. , why don't you take it as my sister's affection for you, and accept it first?"
Fang Ruqin's intentions, it is impossible to say that Ouyang Shaogong did not have a touch of touch, but this touch is not enough to illuminate the endless darkness in Ouyang Shaogong's heart filled with tens of thousands of years of resentment and pain.
When Fang Ruqin arrived at Fang's house, Fang Lansheng dragged Fang Ruqin to the lobby to accept Zhou Ji, Feng Qingxue, and Baili Tusu's "three-court interrogation" before entering the door. The focus was on criticizing her for being blindly confident and rushing into danger without confirming the truth of the news.
Fang Lansheng was usually disciplined by the second sister in various ways, but now that she finally found an opportunity, it would not be public revenge, no, it was a well-meaning consolation.
"Sister, you usually don't let me cultivate immortals, saying that cultivating immortals is useless. Fortunately, brother Zhou and Shao Gong arrived in time this time, and finally there is no danger. Look, if you follow me to cultivate immortals, learn one and a half tricks It's like, isn't there no next time?"
"." Fang Ruqin was originally rejected by Ouyang Shaogong, and she was a little depressed. Now she was lectured by Fang Lansheng again, raised her eyebrows, and calmed down and said: "The co-author is waiting for me here?"
Fang Lansheng's breathing was stagnant, and he squeezed out a slightly stiff smile, "What's waiting for you and not waiting for you, aren't we all waiting for you?"
"Miss Ruqin, what Lan Sheng said is not entirely unreasonable. Although human life is equal, there are differences in strength. Cultivating immortals can seek longevity or self-protection."
Zhou Ji sighed softly, and said with a faint expression, "As the saying goes, blocking is worse than slackening. You are usually worried that Lan Sheng will learn how to control the sword. If he flies out, he will not go home, and he has been forbidden to cultivate immortality. If you also learn to control the sword, come on, no matter where he goes Wherever you go, you can twist your ears to bring him back; secondly, if you encounter any danger in the future, if you can’t beat him, you can at least try to escape.”
Fang Lansheng originally just wanted his second sister to stop caring about him cultivating immortals, but after hearing Zhou Ji's speech, his expression changed, and he suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot
A thought flashed in Fang Ruqin's heart. Zhou Ji said these words once before, but the cultivation of immortality is not so light, even if Lan Sheng is protected by a spiritual creature like Qingyu Sinanpei, he can only practice for three years. The 'Royal Washboard' who is not working at all times, and she has already passed the age of cultivating immortals, and she has to worry about the Fang family's business every day, so how can she have time to cultivate immortals?
Shaking his head, Fang Ruqin hesitated for a while, but gave up the slightest thought of cultivating immortality.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your kindness. It's just that Ruqin's energy is limited, and I'm afraid she has no time to practice."
Before Zhou Ji could speak, Fang Lansheng took the initiative to step forward, raised his head, patted his chest, and said confidently: "It's okay, sister, you don't have time to cultivate immortality, but I have time~ Don't worry, wait until I learn it." Yu Jian, I can protect you~!"
As soon as this remark was made, the entire courtyard suddenly fell into silence.
For a while, it seemed that even the evening wind stopped. Fang Lansheng looked at the crowd in surprise, and asked in doubt: "Brother Zhou, Qingxue, Tu Su, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so strange?"
Zhou Ji raised his wrist, opened his sleeves and looked at the non-existent wristwatch, clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Why is it so late? You guys talk first, I'm going to leave early."
"Then what, Tu Su and I are going to help Uncle Wu deal with the follow-up matters of the flower thief case, so let's go first." Feng Qingxue touched Baili Tusu and winked at him.
In a blink of an eye, only Fang Ruqin and Fang Lansheng were left in the courtyard.
The atmosphere in the empty courtyard became more and more dull.
Zhou Ji and Feng Qingxue Baili Tusu both ran away, and Fang Lansheng realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to make an excuse to escape, Fang Ruqin showed a sweet smile on his face, and his narrowed eyes were curved like a pair of crescent moons. , just with a smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes.
"Since you have so much time, why don't you read more books, or help me take care of the business at home?"
"Yeah~~~~ah!"
Fang Lansheng's screams could not be heard in the side courtyard, Ouyang Shaogong expressed his heart, and after bluntly refusing, he did not go to the courtyard with her, but suppressed his anger and went straight to the Jitong room. Tong, put down the thousand-year-old ice silk and asked: "Why did you tell Ruqin Qinxian about it? What thousand-year-old ice silk, do you know that it almost killed her!"
Xun Fang and Shao Gong are acquainted with each other, how could they not know that he is really angry at this moment?
"The moment when Xunfang rescued me was a new beginning."
The dark tide surged in Ouyang Shaogong's eyes, and he, who had always been calm and calm, lost control of his emotions, showing a hint of pain, "Until the moment she leaves me, I am destined to never have a new life again."
Xun Fang knew many things about Ouyang Shaogong, but she didn't know that Ouyang Shaogong in this life was the last life of Prince Changqin.
Tens of thousands of years of reincarnation consumed too much of his fairy power. If he couldn't fuse with the other half of the fairy, he would run out of lifespan and return to dust in a short time.
The irresistible fate engulfed him like a swamp. Just when there was only hatred and haze left in his heart, Xunfang illuminated the endless darkness in his heart, pulled him out of the swamp that completely engulfed him, and made him forget about the past. Ten thousand years of resentment and pain gave him the obsession to live.
However, because of his fate, Penglai was condemned and destroyed, and his obsession with Xunfang gradually fell into madness.
"Ruqin is to me just like Aunt Tong is to me. They are relatives." Ouyang Shaogong tried his best to calm down, but he couldn't help but emphasize a little: "Don't disturb me anymore. If you want to stay in Qinchuan , you just leave it to yourself."
Ouyang Shaogong left with a flick of his sleeves. He, who has always been delicate and sensitive, didn't notice the tear shed from the corner of Jitong's eyes the moment he turned to leave.
A few days later, it will be Qixi Festival in a blink of an eye.
Feng Qingxue went to Sun's house early in the morning, and persuaded Nanny Sun to agree with Sun Yueyan to go out and accompany everyone to the lantern festival.
Qinchuan is bustling, and it’s also the Qixi Lantern Festival. Before nightfall, all kinds of lanterns are lit up everywhere on the street.
Everyone attended the Lantern Festival together after dinner. Feng Qingxue had never seen such a lively scene since she was a child. So people took a few steps away and took the opportunity to invite Shaogong to go to the river to release the river lanterns.
Since Sun Yueyan went to Fanyunzhai to rescue him last time, Fang Lansheng has greatly changed his attitude toward this seemingly delicate Miss Sun, who is actually soft on the outside and strong on the inside. In addition, Fang Lansheng often does something when he wakes up and forgets it all. strange dream.
Although he couldn't remember the content of the dream every time he woke up, when he faced Sun Yueyan, he always felt an inexplicable emotion lingering in his heart.
Because of his own personality, he couldn't help but want to escape from this feeling, and Fang Ruqin and Ouyang Shaogong, because of Ouyang Shaogong's face-to-face rejection a few days ago, were also somewhat uncomfortable getting along.
On the contrary, Zhou Ji doesn't have these troubles here.
A group of seven people participated in the Lantern Festival, but he was the only one around him in twos and twos. There was no Miss Weather who chirped and dragged him around; there was no Miss Sun who pestered her for two lifetimes and had a crush on her; and there was no confession Ms. Fang who failed but couldn't help liking
Look, how comfortable alone~!
Zhou Ji stood by the river, looked at the men and women who were coming and going in pairs, shook his head, and turned into a stream of light and flew in the direction of Wuling Mountain Stream.
"Look! Meteor!"
Qiu Xinrui pulled Zhuo Yunfei's sleeve and pointed at the night sky.
Yuzhou City thousands of miles away.
Hongyu stood alone by the river, looked up at the trajectory of the meteor, closed her eyes slightly, and prayed silently in her heart.
As the night deepened, the number of vendors and pedestrians on the street changed from fewer to more, and then from more to fewer, until the river was filled with lanterns, and the lanterns gradually dimmed. paper riddles.
"Sister Hongyu hasn't appeared yet?" Qiu Xinrui looked at Hongyu by the river and walked over slowly.
"We didn't agree to meet here on Qixi Festival, so it's normal that he didn't show up." Hongyu smiled, a red dress swayed with the dinner, reflected in the lanterns floating on the river, like a wedding dress.
Seeing Qiu Xinrui's expression of pity, Hongyu looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "At the beginning of Jiang Guo's fall, Xiaokui searched for more than a thousand years to find his brother, and now he has only been looking for him for more than a hundred years, so there is no need to rush for a moment."
Looking around, Hongyu smiled slightly, "It's getting late, let's go back."
"red"
Qiu Xinrui looked at Hongyu's back as she turned and left, and was about to quickly follow, but was stopped by Zhuo Yunfei's arm.
Qiu Xinrui was puzzled and said: "Brother Zhuo?"
Zhuo Yunfei didn't say anything, but shook his head lightly, signaling Qiu Xinrui not to go over.
Although Qiu Xinrui is a woman, she has a carefree personality, far less delicate than Zhuo Yunfei, who was once a killer. She looked at the back of Hongyu walking alone in the night suspiciously. It was only at this moment that she was surprised to find that the group was usually enough to compete with the sun and the moon. Her red dress was like fire, and even she herself could not illuminate it under the cover of night.
Wuling Mountain Stream.
Zhou Ji came to a lush bush.
This is supposed to be the Jinghu Lake where Jiaoxian lived, but it has dried up at some point, and it has been filled into a dense forest by these unknown shrubs. Even the gazebo by the lake has been crushed by the thick shrubs, leaving only a pile of gravel barely recognizable. Looks like a gazebo.
"Dream Soul Pill? Is this the so-called Dream Soul Pill?"
Zhou Ji jumped into the lake and penetrated the dense branches to the source of all the shrubs and vegetation.
It was a 'corpse' that had lost all of its spirit energy and was not considered a living person.
Jiaoxian was lying on a bush with a smile on his face. The skin on his cheeks was covered with horrible black lines, which gathered to the original mouth position like roots.
The reason for "original" is because his mouth has been assimilated by the roots. All the bushes here grow from his mouth, absorbing his fairy power and assimilating with it, just like Cordyceps sinensis.
(Explanation: The drama version deliberately downplays Prince Changqin's "crossing soul" (grabbing the house), and blurs the concept of time. Here, the drama version is the main one, with slight revisions. Please forgive me for the original work.)
