Undoubtedly, the time in Jiancun was the happiest time Ji Yaoge had lived in the past thousand years. She has always known that as long as Xuanhuan is willing, he will be the best lover, but she did not expect that Xuanhuan's kindness also includes putting down her airs, letting go of her mind, throwing away all the shackles that belong to a monk, and doing something. Childish behavior that makes people blush and heartbeat.
It was a move that would make her feel stupid at the moment, but sweet when she tasted it later.
At the same time, it also made her feel young, as if the heavy years became lighter overnight.
At first, they fell in love from desire, and the instinctive reaction of Youjing made them taste the crazy intoxication and heartiness of the love between men and women, and the pleasure of the flesh brought the ultimate feeling. She used to feel that such a relationship was comfortable, meaningless responsibility and morality. , This is just a rare indulgence in her heavy years, and it is also a catharsis to let go of everything, but later, they are not too chasing such a single feeling. They seem to run counter to the men and women in the world and take the opposite path.
Ji Yaoge didn't quite understand either, he just stared at the man's bright face in the firelight in a daze.
It has been more than ten days since they arrived at Jiancun. After the catastrophe of Miaokun Mountain, Xu Jitai came. Two distinguished guests came to Jiancun and ordered a large number of fairy swords and ores, which are enough for the village to spend for the next few years. Every sword festival in the village, there is always a little joy after the great tragedy to make people look forward to it, so this year's sword festival is especially fancy.
During the day it is a festival, and at night it is a celebration. The bonfire is burning brightly. Men and women in Jian Village gather around the fire, drinking wine and eating meat, singing and dancing. Xuan Huan had already been pulled to the campfire, and danced awkwardly with the crowd. There is no melodious music played by silk and bamboo, here there is only the sound of swords and swords clashing, full of rhythm like drums, but with cadence and ups and downs, ups and downs, Xuan Huan followed the rhythm and quickly grasped the essentials. He wears the daily tunic of Jiancun people, the sleeves are still rolled up to the elbows, and his hair is tied high, flying with his movements. The flames were dyed orange red, and it was full of vitality, as if the body temperature had returned.
"You two have a very good relationship." Hua Xi offered a glass of wine to Ji Yaoge, and looked at the faint smile on her lips with emotion.
Ji Yaoge said "Oh", and drank his glass of wine without denying or admitting it. Huaxi drank a lot tonight, with drunkenness in his eyes, and said, "I really envy you, I miss my wife too."
Ji Yaoge was a little surprised. Although she and Hua Xi talked deeply, he never mentioned his personal affairs. She thought he was single, but she didn't think he had a married couple.
"What? Are you surprised?" Hua Xi suddenly laughed, and when he talked about his wife, his eyes became gentle. "I have been married to her for a hundred years. She has a higher level of cultivation and status than me. I don't know how she sees her." hit me."
Ji Yaoge looked at Xuan Huan in the crowd, and said with a smile, "I like you."
"Probably. I accidentally saved her once, but I was entangled by her. At that time, she said that I was very talented and a good material for cultivation, and she wanted to take me as an apprentice. I didn't agree, and I hated her. Actually She was only fifty years older than me, but she said she wanted to be my apprentice, which was extremely ridiculous. Of course I didn't agree, and she didn't let me go, she always followed, stumbling me, but also helping me, that's it Help me, I'll take care of her!" When Huaxi said that, her eyes were shining brightly.
Wanhua didn't have much to say about the wife of the ancestor of the Hua family. According to the records, she was a very gentle woman who accompanied Huaxi for a long time and helped him through countless difficulties until she left. As for whether this farewell is ascending or falling, there is no record in the annals of history, and her name is not even mentioned in the taboo. Ji Yaoge only knows that after she left, the master swordsmith who was revered as the sword master by later generations was no longer around. No woman ever appeared, and he missed his wife for the rest of his life, until the end.
Ji Yaoge laughed. Although he didn't describe the past in detail, the corners of his eyes and brows were sweet, and it was a lingering story that made him so happy when he recalled it. She couldn't help thinking, what is worthwhile in her life? Aftertaste memory?
"What about her? Why isn't she in Jiancun?" Ji Yaoge asked casually as he drank a lot and relaxed his heartstrings.
Huaxi dimmed, and said: "She has returned to her mother's house. It is not peaceful outside, and the immortals and demons are fighting. She wants to go back to help her mother's family, and I will stay here to supervise and make a batch of weapons for her. Oh, by the way, I haven't mentioned it to you yet. Who is she? Her name is Ye Tang, and she is the daughter of the city lord of Fangdu in Yanzhou."
Ji Yaoge's drunkenness was instantly sober because of the word "Fang Du".
The reality once again connected her and Fang Du together in an unexpected way. She opened her mouth but didn't ask anything. The flames of the bonfire flickered, and the dancing crowd roared. The girl who admired Xuan Huan was still daring, and didn't care about Xuan Huan's refusal. In front of him, Ji Yaoge didn't even have time to speakLooking forward to the future, she recalled that there were not only endless life-and-death fights and intrigues between them, but also some sweetness worth aftertaste¡ªnot in the flesh, but in the heart.
"Xiao Jiao, you don't have to feel guilty because you can't respond. You have to know that everything I do for you, I can also reap joy, and I am also giving for myself. Emotions should be beautiful in nature. , This is what I just discovered recently, and I just want to tell you that it is a pleasure to like you." He smiled shallowly, not asking her to suddenly understand, but only hoped that these trickles would melt away her long-term fear.
Ji Yaoge seems to understand, but it is undeniable that she was really happy during this time.
"Thank you." She lay on his chest, seeming to hear his heartbeat that would never beat again.
In this life, he has played too many roles in her life, teacher, friend, partner, lover, confidant Apart from him, she fears that it will be difficult for her to meet such a man for the rest of her life, and even if there is a better and better man, she can't To replace Xuan Huan in her heart.
About this, she knows it well.
And her joy came to an end when she discovered that three of the nine soul lamps in the Five Prison Tower had been extinguished.
At that time, they had stayed in Jiancun for nearly a month, and Xuan Huan was surveying Miaokun Mountain for Jiancun, planning to draw a fire path map for them.
The peaceful days are not boring, she even thinks that she can live on for a long time, but obviously fate is not going to let them go. She thought that the soul lamp would not go out, until she faced the remaining six lamps, she finally understood what Xuan Huan said, limited time and limited ability.
She has never escaped from anything, but this is the only thing she wants to escape in her life.
After all, they have to face the future they tried their best to avoid.
The future happened in the past.
Early summer is coming, the flowers are in full bloom, peaches, apricots and pears are all withering, and sad beasts are heard from the depths of Miaokun Mountain. Xiong Ni died on the 38th day after being seriously injured, and Huaxi also received Ye Tang's call for help on that day information.
