On the night when he came out of the White Tiger Realm, Bai Yunsheng felt an indescribable excitement.
Because at this moment he was standing in Mu Chengxue's boudoir.
It was Mu Chengxue who invited him here.
Simple and elegant is the only color here. Bai Yunsheng almost had the illusion that he was still in the ice and snow.
The furnishings in the room are as simple as its decoration - a floor-to-ceiling mirror, shining with fluorescent lights, and a jade bed filled with flowers and cold smoke.
Seeing that Bai Yunsheng didn't even find a place to sit, he had to stand awkwardly.
But as long as Mu Chengxue is around, none of this matters.
After standing for a while, Bai Yunsheng adjusted the tremor in his voice and said, "Senior Sister Mu."
"I didn't expect you to have opened the camp, congratulations."
At this moment and here, Mu Chengxue's words no longer contained the indifference that would be alienating people from thousands of miles away, which gave Bai Yunsheng the illusion that happiness came too suddenly.
"Senior Sister Mu..."
"You don't have to call me senior sister. You and I are about the same age. Just call me by my first name."
"Cheng··Xue."
Bai Yunsheng struggled to say two words, his heartbeat already reaching his throat.
"This is not the place to talk."
After Mu Chengxue finished speaking, the jade-colored roof disappeared like smoke.
The starry night is brilliant.
There is a cliff all around, like a garden outside the world, full of bright white flowers, quiet and dusty.
The moonlight is like water.
There is a stone table in the garden. There is a pot of wine and two glasses on the table, and two people are sitting next to it.
Mu Chengxue filled two glasses of wine herself and said calmly: "This is Yi Nian Cliff in Tai'a Mountain. When I'm at home, I often come here to sit alone."
Her voice was like the moonlight floating in the night sky, gentle and light. Bai Yunsheng couldn't help but twitch his eyes, and he felt drunk even before he drank a glass of wine.
He looked around at the fairy-like flowers around him and said softly:
"Ningxue, are these the goddess flowers?"
There was a smile on Mu Chengxue's beautiful face, just like this flower, with its intoxicating fragrance.
She also said softly: "You actually recognize it."
Bai Yunsheng smiled and said: "The Goddess flower tree blooms and bears fruit once every thousand years. Each tree only bears one fruit. The Goddess fruit has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and extending life. It is said that there are only a dozen trees in the world today."
"It's not as powerful as you say."
Mu Chengxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, but at this moment, it completely overturned Bai Yunsheng's cold and cold image in his heart. The laughter was like an exhilarating sound, destroying his already weak defense line.
A glass of wine goes down the throat.
Mu Chengxue put a few red clouds on her pure and clean cheeks.
In this garden under the moon, where is the beauty of the moonlight and the beauty of the goddess flowers?
Bai Yunsheng was not drunk at all. After drinking this glass of wine, waves of fresh and mellow fragrance suddenly filled his body, making him feel like he was sitting on a cloud or bathed in the spring breeze.
He didn't know where the impulse came from, but he blurted out:
"Xue'er..."
Bang bang bang.
When he said these two words, Bai Yunsheng could clearly hear his heartbeat, but he completely forgot the words he wanted to say next.
The moonlight fills the top of the cliff, caressing the blooming goddess flower tree.
The flowers and trees are like a moon goddess who has been under a spell. She cannot leave this mortal world, so she can only look up every night, waiting for the most tender comfort of the long-lost moonlight.
The wind blows gently, the flowers sway gently. The young man's thoughts flow quietly.
For a long time, the silence retreated.
Bai Yunsheng was so embarrassed that he wanted to jump off the cliff or hit the cliff and die.
"Twilight··Cheng··Xue·Miss··Shi,"
The three words that were originally picturesque were not "twilight", nor "cheng", nor "snow".
At this time, under Mu Chengxue's alluring beauty, her faint smile caused thousands of lights to converge and everything else to eclipse.
Just listen to her lips closing slightly and Lan Xiang spitting out:
"Brother Bai."
These three simple words were undoubtedly the rain after a long drought and the branches outside the swamp, which suddenly saved Bai Yunsheng from the embarrassment on the edge of the cliff.
The Eternal Sword hanging in his internal organs trembled suddenly, as if it was sending him a strange and inexplicable warning.
But at this moment, Bai Yunsheng had forgotten even about death, so he didn't care about any warning.
…
The endless road in Taiqing, the red clouds and the evening boat.
If you only have one cup from me, why worry about asking God for help?
The pound of Taiqing Hongyun wine in the jade pot was brought by Mu Chengxue from Zhenfengbuzhou. In the Aolai Kingdom, it was the royal wine of the emperor, but because the main ingredient of brewing is Yunhua, which has disappeared, it is not enough to drink it.
One sip is called the Jade Lord of Wine.
This pound of wine is worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Bai Yunsheng has drunk "five thousand taels of gold".
"Xue'er, why did you agree to participate in the Liuhe Competition? You probably don't need magic weapons, and it doesn't seem important to you to read about the martial arts of the Central Plains."
Mu Chengxue did not answer, but asked: "What happened to your camp?"
Bai Yunsheng did not ask further questions and briefly explained his situation on the fourth floor of Xiao Mi Tian.
After hearing this, Mu Chengxue frowned slightly and murmured: "Sword of Eternal Life, Old Man Xiqi."
After a while, she shook her head and expressed her ignorance. However, Bai Yunsheng didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because the beauty was intoxicating, but he actually told everything about what happened in Huoshen Stream.
"Sword of Eternal Life, Sword of Eternal Life..."
After listening to the story, Mu Chengxue seemed to be recalling something and kept repeating it.
Bai Yunsheng asked with concern: "What's wrong, Xue'er?"
"nothing."
Mu Chengxue frowned lightly, as if she had something on her mind that she couldn't resolve.
Bai Yunsheng smiled and comforted: "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about other things."
He continued: "I have no clue about what I promised to the mythical beast now. I'm really blind."
Seeing Bai Yunsheng mention this matter, Mu Chengxue hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought of two clues. At the beginning, Qilin said that we should go east. I guess..."
Bai Yunsheng asked in surprise: "What must it be?"
Mu Chengxue did not answer, but asked him another question: "Have you ever heard of the five origins of heaven and earth?"
Bai Yunsheng half-questioned and half-answered: "Isn't the origin of the five elements located in the five great families?"
But soon, he shook his head and rejected his answer: "No, practitioners cannot contact the source of energy at all, and it is impossible for divine beasts to hand over the source of energy to them."
Mu Chengxuehui's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, the five major families guard only the branch lines, not the main line. And before I went down the mountain, I knew of two original main lines, one of which is the host of this Liuhe Competition-Kanchen Buzhou
Near the Xue family’s Wuyun Mountain.”
Bai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and speculated: "In the tomb of the divine beasts, Qilin said that all the existing divine beasts are guarding the place of origin. If it is the Xue family, it should be the white tiger, the water divine beast."
Mu Chengxue said directly: "There is another place, said to be near Jinluan Daze."
"Jinluanze?" Bai Yunsheng kept chanting silently: "Jinluanze... this place has disappeared a long time ago, right?"
Mu Chengxue said calmly: "I think that now we should go to find the origin of this generation of divine beasts and their guardianship, see with our own eyes the loss of source energy, and maybe get some clues to solve the mystery. But Jinluan Daze has long since disappeared.
In the world, nowhere to be found..."
"That's why you decided to participate in the Liuhe Competition?"
"yes."
At this point, Bai Yunsheng suddenly nodded and said: "Why don't we go directly to the water beast!"
Mu Chengxue shook his head slightly and said: "The Xue family's Canghai Pavilion is deep in the mountains. The terrain is ever-changing. Besides, we don't know where the white tiger beast is. However, my father has a good relationship with the old man Tianji of Zhulu Palace. When I went down the mountain, he
Tell me, the winner of this Liuhe competition can get the guidance of the divine beast. Maybe, that is our chance!"
Bai Yunsheng thought for a moment and nodded solemnly: "That's all."
After saying this, the two people suddenly became quiet.
The moonlight is like water, and the flowers are silent.
Bai Yunsheng stared at the beauty who was so close, his gentle eyes gradually became blurred, and he murmured:
"Xue'er, you said in the tomb of the beast that you already knew everything. Why did you do this dangerous thing?"
Mu Chengxue couldn't resist Bai Yunsheng's gaze. He lowered his head slightly, with a hint of panic in his pupils, and said, "I only know that I have to do it. I don't care about the rest."
"Yeah."
Bai Yunsheng sighed sadly.
Mu Chengxue suddenly asked obediently: "What about you? Why do you want to do it?"
Bai Yunsheng said calmly with an indifferent smile:
"I want to unlock the shackles of memory and find my past. I want to know where my home is and who I am."
Then he half-jokingly said: "You can't help it, and I am wandering around. We just happen to stay together and form a couple."
After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.
Mu Chengxue said no more, but a hint of sadness flashed through her gentle eyes.
The stars are like a sea, and the night is getting darker.
This is like another Mu Chengxue.
She completely abandoned her indifference during the day, and in this silent night, on the deserted cliff, she talked with Bai Yunsheng.
It feels like I've known you for a long time.
a long time.
After a long time, when the moonlight set in the west, the wine was gone and the glass stopped, and the person was already slightly tipsy.
Bai Yunsheng and Mu Chengxue stood on the edge of the cliff together. In front of them was the dark void, and under the clear moonlight, curls of mystery were swirling.
The moon is silent, the flowers are silent, and the hearts are beating.
The road is approaching at dusk, and the world is about to be destroyed. The life and death of the entire world, Jianghu, is actually written on the bodies of two young people. Such a bizarre story.
The road ahead is like the nothingness beneath our feet, long, confusing, and endless.
Bai Yunsheng is not drunk - he can't even get drunk after drinking ten pounds of Fifty Years of Bamboo Leaf Green.
But at this moment he was really drunk.
What is intoxicating is not the clear clouds worth ten thousand taels of gold.
It's the moon, it's the flower. It's the person under the moon, it's the person among the flowers.
