People cannot live alone in this world. Even the so-called otherworldly hermits must have a companion. Either an apprentice, a good friend, a Taoist companion, or even a few younger thugs.
Whether it is success, failure, sadness, doubt... these emotions must have someone to share them with.
Among these people, Taoist companions are the hardest to find. There are even fewer people who can practice dual cultivation like them and have such a perfect match of mind and essence. Maybe there is only one person in the world, but you don’t know if that person is
Does it really exist? If so, where is he?
You may never meet the person you are destined to be in your entire life. Even if you do, you may not meet the person you are destined to be.
We have met and become acquainted, but we may not have the fate to hold hands and walk together.
Is Shi'er the one for her?
Qiuqiu sat with her knees facing the moon for half the night, her thoughts fluctuating in her heart.
Shi'er stood on the other side of the long window. He stood as long as she sat there.
They were not the only ones who had insomnia that night. In other words, no one in the entire Jiu Peak could sleep soundly.
Peak Master of the Nine Peaks, this is such a tempting bait, it makes people’s hearts itch.
Qiuqiu watched as the stars and moon gradually disappeared in the sky. The dark sky seemed to have been stripped of color layer by layer, turning into a chaotic blue.
The sun has risen.
Qiuqiu squinted her eyes and put her hand in front of her eyes to block it.
Someone came over, stopped in front of her, and blocked the sun for her.
Qiuqiu raised her head and looked at him. Shi'er's figure was plated with a golden edge by the rising sun.
Qiuqiu's eyes are blurred - no. Don't misunderstand that she was moved or shocked by some golden image. It's just that her eyes were unprepared and couldn't accept the strong light all of a sudden.
Shi'er knelt down in front of her and gently wiped her eyes with his sleeves.
The eyes washed by tears were sparkling. Shier wiped them gently, but Qiuqiu's eyes were still slightly red.
Alas, if it were in a love movie, with such a beautiful scene, the protagonists would definitely "chirp", how romantic and appropriate to the occasion.
It's a pity that this is not the case. Shi'er doesn't have that many romantic qualities either.
"Sit down."
Shi'er sat next to her silently.
"You should have told me earlier, for example, when you went to Xiuyuan Mountain to pick me up, or... Anyway, before you told everyone last night, I, the client, should at least be prosecuted."
Shier held her hand: "I don't want anyone to target you again."
Yes, yesterday's accident sounded the alarm for both him and her. Shi'er announced in advance to restrain those with ulterior motives.
Qiuqiu nodded.
"When I first heard about it, I felt very surprised, and I felt like I had been deceived... You asked me if I hate you, and I want to say not at all. I feel at ease when you are around, even if you asked me yesterday
I suddenly said that in front of everyone. I still have no idea of separation from you. But I don’t know if we can become Taoist couples. The relationship between us is more like relatives and brothers. Maybe you will like someone else in the future.
, maybe I will be moved by someone else, I..." Qiuqiu looked at Shi'er: "When I imagined that there was another woman beside you, she was intimate with you and shared everything. But I could only stay far away
Seeing that I can no longer get close to you makes me feel very sour in my heart. This feeling is really weird and uncomfortable..."
Shi'er gently hugged her and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay, don't push yourself so hard... We can do it slowly. If you still find it difficult to accept it in the end, then I won't force it."
Qiuqiu rested her head on his shoulder.
She herself has no experience of falling in love, and neither does the person next to her. He must have never liked anyone before, and she is the first one. What's worse is that she is still young, and he is not good at expressing himself.
When Qiuqiu looks at their affairs from the perspective of an outsider, she will stamp her feet on behalf of these two people.
How to fall in love? How should two people who are more than friends but not lovers suddenly become Taoist couples and continue to get along with each other?
There are also many things in the future.
"Yeah." Qiuqiu responded.
Take it easy.
There are infinite possibilities in the future, maybe they will be together in the end, or maybe they will be separated for one reason or another.
"I originally wanted to explain to you what happened yesterday," Shi'er said.
"What?"
"Perhaps you will think that my handling of the matter regarding Heliu and Xiuru was too lighthearted."
"No..." Qiuqiu sat up straight, twirled her fingers and said, "Let's talk about Xiuru first. I think she was impulsive. To kill her for this would inevitably cost Elder Zheng and other people.
Chilling."
Besides, confinement is not a very light punishment. As Qiuqiu knows, it is not a good punishment to make disciples think about their mistakes in Xiuyuan Mountain. First of all, most of their cultivation will be sealed. Except for the constant inner breath, they will be no different from ordinary people.
.And the places where I think about are usually very dangerous and tormenting places. I have to carry the pain, and endure the hunger and cold. What is more painful than the physical torture is the psychological despair and loneliness, maybe even a few times.
For years, maybe more than ten years, there was no one to talk to and communicate with. I heard that someone was imprisoned and thought about it. After he was released, his whole appearance completely changed. A very alert person became dull and autistic, and his original high-spiritedness was completely gone.
Traces.
Xiuru didn't even have a few years to go through this test. For such a young girl, this life punishment was enough for her. She would regret what she did today in the long hardships to come.
"As for Heliu, there are two possibilities. One is that she was indeed coerced by Xiuru, so she did not report the knowledge and did not take any initiative in this matter from beginning to end. The other possibility is that Xiuru said
Really, she was instigating behind the scenes to make Xiuru take action against me. If anything happens to me, you will definitely avenge me. In this way, she has achieved the goal of killing two birds with one stone. To be honest, I prefer the first one.
Two guesses. Xiuru is not a scheming person, she is very proud and willful. The first time I met her, she ignored me. Then I met her again by chance, and her attitude remained unchanged.
It was the same when she was in the nursery. If no one was around to tease her out, I guess she would continue to hold her head and tail like a little chicken, turning a blind eye to me."
Xiuru's fate also proved her "stupidity". She was protected by Elder Zheng and never suffered any hardships. She was a typical young lady. She did things first and thought later, never thinking about the consequences.
The look on her face when she was betrayed by Heliu left a deep impression on Qiuqiu.
And what about Heliu? Qiuqiu had never even seen her before yesterday. She looked docile and harmless. She was a typical follower of a young lady, half classmate and half maid. But she gave Xiuru the right time at the most appropriate time.
The worst blow. When she was called for a confrontation, she had no intention of leaving Xiuru a way to survive from the beginning, but she also did not actively and indignantly express her intention to report Xiuru, and she was incompatible with good and evil. Her stance seemed
Just but helpless, struggling between love and justice, so helpless and innocent.
She performed so perfectly. She was really prepared. She carried the two bottles of medicine with her and took them out at the critical moment, which became irrefutable evidence.
There are no flaws, no flaws, no pain at all.
Qiuqiu feels that either she is really pure and kind-hearted and the same on the outside, or she has excellent acting skills and can win an Oscar for Best Actress.
"You don't have to worry about this." Shi'er didn't care about Heliu at all: "Let's see after some time. A fox will always show its tail. I'm wondering if there is someone else behind her."
Qiuqiu glanced at Shier.
Although they have no evidence that Heliu has done evil. But does Shier need evidence? As long as he thinks that Heliu has done evil, then Heliu will be finished, and the chance of getting ahead will be gone. If Shier doesn't want to let go
If you fish for a big fish for a long time, she may die immediately.
That was the end of their discussion on the topic.
Shi'er stretched out his hand to Qiuqiu: "Do you want to see the real Yuxia? I will go with you."
He guessed correctly, Qiuqiu really wanted to see the master.
After what happened yesterday, whether it was in the afternoon or in the evening, Qiuqiu wanted to see her master. Even if her master was unconscious and sleeping underwater, Qiuqiu would feel relieved when she saw her.
"good."
Shi'er summoned the crane, but of course it wasn't the unlucky one yesterday.
This one is the one Qiuqiu is familiar with, the one that once flew across the ocean and brought them to Nine Peaks.
Qiuqiu touched its neck with some emotion. She likes these beautiful and spirited birds very much. The key is that they are not only beautiful, but also practical and can be used as a means of transportation. Look at her white and white family, even these two things
It took decades or hundreds of years to practice to the point where it can be used as a mount. Have you ever seen an immortal riding a rabbit? It is definitely not majestic and handsome. The rabbit jumps so often that the person riding on it will not be knocked off.
I have to vomit too.
"If you like it, you can pick one when you come back. There are not only cranes in the spiritual bird garden, but also other birds, some of which have beautiful feathers."
If she had heard this before yesterday, Qiuqiu's mood would definitely be different from what it is now.
At that time, I felt that Shier was so generous and so kind to me...
Now her first thought was, is he learning how to fall in love and pursue love?
A gift from an ordinary friend is equally valuable as a gift from a boy who has confessed to you, but can the meaning be the same?
"Yeah." Qiuqiu responded vaguely and asked him: "What kind of birds are there? I only saw some water birds and falcons."
"There is a peacock, but it has the most arrogant temperament and easily refuses to convince others."
Of course peacocks are beautiful, Qiuqiu knows that.
Shi'er said softly: "I'll take you to have a look when I get back."
"good."
The crane circled leisurely in the air and landed.
They have arrived. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
