He wears a simple shirt and a simple sword. His long hair is combed into a bun with a wooden hairpin stuck in it. He is a simple and persistent man.
"Ye Donglai?" Shen Yan's mouth was filled with surprise. She didn't expect to meet this guy at the foot of Tianshuang Sword Peak.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ana Shen felt that the question he asked was a bit idiotic.
"What's the point of this? Only you are allowed to come, but I am not allowed to come. Let's not talk about the rationale for now, but from a human perspective, I am older than you and started my career earlier than you. I should ask you this, right? "[
Ye Donglai is still as meticulous as when we first met him. Although his words are clear and coherent, he speaks very slowly, giving the impression that he has rehearsed in his mind thousands of times before deciding how to speak. .
Even when he asked this question, Ye Donglai's dark and deep eyes did not flicker at all. If ordinary people heard this, not only would he be teasing himself for a third of the time, but the rest of it would also sound like he was relying on his old age.
But Ana Shen understood that Ye Donglai's words came completely from his heart.
He didn't recite the words in his mind a thousand times, or even think about it at all... The so-called leaving a thin line behind his words so that they can meet each other in the future has no effect at all on this kind of person.
Just say this because you think so in your heart.
This is Ye Donglai, a simple, persistent, and serious man.
Ana Shen clearly heard that the indifference in his words when they first met had disappeared. At this moment, Ye Donglai no longer seemed to regard him as an outsider.
Inadvertently, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. But this subtle arc was invisible to Ye Donglai in the middle of the night, and even Ana Shen himself didn't notice it.
"There's no need to argue with you a lot. Let me tell you, yes or no?" Since Shen Yan knew what Ye Donglai's temper was, there was no reason to argue with him over these trivial matters.
Therefore, when he spoke, he appeared to be extremely serious and solemn.
"You said, I would say the same thing?... That's fair!" Ye Donglai pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"I'm looking for Ling Shuang!" Shen Yan said.
"Me too!" Ye Donglai nodded, with no surprise on his face.
"I came to him to ask for some magic tricks and to ask about some things!" Shen Yan was a little surprised. From what Yan Qing said, it seemed that Ye Donglai would not sell anything except the second elder and the first elder. People's face.
But he didn't hesitate. Since he wanted to know why Ye Dong came here, there was no need to hesitate. So he didn't even ask and directly told the purpose of his visit.
"A big demon appeared at the border of Xueyun. Ling Shuang couldn't get away. Elder Dan went into seclusion. He came to me to discuss the matter!" Ye Donglai didn't even ponder and immediately told Shen Yan the secret.
It seemed that he was not afraid that Ana Shen would reveal this secret at all, and he believed in his own intuition.
As for Ana Shen coming to ask for the magic formula, any disciple, even a direct disciple like Mu Zhihan, would think that he was talking nonsense and would probably tell him to get out.
How could anyone come to Jianfeng by himself and ask the elders of Jianfeng for the secrets? This is simply unbelievable and unreasonable. To ask about things is simply because his brain is missing.[
But Ye Donglai had no such idea, he didn't even know what the suspicion was.
Without recognition, no matter what efforts the other party makes, even if they say everything in a thousand words, he will not care about it. But now he has accepted Ana Shen to a certain extent...
Then everything the latter said is true.
Either believe it completely or sit on the sidelines.
"Together?" Shen Yan also seemed to feel Ye Donglai's obvious change in mentality. The unfamiliarity between the two gradually faded between the questions and answers.
"Originally, I was supposed to go up to Jianfeng Peak first, but I saw you behind me, so I stopped... Since we stopped, we naturally went up together, but I must walk in front!" Ye Donglai said seriously. The way.
He wasn't kidding.
But Ana Shen smiled. When Ye Donglai turned his puzzled eyes to him, he waved his hand and nodded.
"...Please, please, let alone let you go forward, even if you let me carry you on my back, that's okay!" He suddenly realized that the temperament of this guy from Ye Donglai was really weird.
It's just an old man meeting Ling Shuang. As for using it like this, he walked forward and backward separately. The steps here are so wide that even if they are side by side, it is not a problem.
But since Ye Donglai opened his mouth, Ana Shen naturally agreed.
Although his temperament is not as pure as Ye Donglai's, what he says is what he thinks in his heart. But Shen Yan's attitude toward friends is the same as Ye Donglai's.
If an unrelated person, even if the other person is a powerful person in the Zhoutian realm, forces Shen Yan to do something he doesn't want to do, then he will still rather die than surrender.
But as long as he approves, everything can be treated as such.
As long as the other party wants glory, wealth, magic and secret skills, as long as he has it and can give it to him, there will be no hesitation in the slightest.
…
Maybe... it is precisely because of this kind of temperament that the two people have already placed each other as good friends in their hearts just because they met twice.
Friendship. Sometimes, it even comes more casually than love.
Or, there is Shen Yan's reminder to Ye Donglai about the method of planting the pear tree. Reminding him about the nocturnal grass was just an opportunity. What really made the two become friends was that although they were slightly different, But essentially they have the same character.
(If...in the future, you find out that that sentence is about to blossom and is just a lie...will you still be able to forgive me?)
The first time we met, I didn't think it was anything. He only told about the first ten years...the next ninety years about Fan Lishu, but he didn't tell the whole story.
It was originally a white lie, but because of the friendship that gradually surfaced between the two, Ana Shen became a little bit at a loss.[
Be honest, or let nature take its course?
With Ye Donglai's temperament, if after having great hope, he found that Ana Shen actually used lies to deceive him...it is conceivable that he might not even be a friend.
Even if lies are well-intentioned, some people can't bear the slightest bit of dishonesty.
There is no doubt that Ye Donglai is such a person. Shen Yan is hesitating at this moment, should he tell him the truth, or should he hide it if he can?
Originally, Shen Yan could not get involved in this matter, but now he felt that Ye Donglai really regarded him as a confidant. It was not about mountains and rivers, not about fancy writing, it was just a matter of similar temperament.
This relationship seems extremely unreliable, but in the eyes of a few people, it is more solid and unshakable.
Now that Ye Donglai is going to the Xueyun border to surrender the big demon, it obviously means that he is no longer worried about the Fanli tree... which means that the night grass can indeed help the Fanli tree survive for the first time in the second hundred years. ten years.
Maybe Ana Shen doesn't need to worry about what will happen in a few years, but if he leaves everything behind and ignores his friends, he won't be worthy of standing on the top of the mountain called the strongest in his previous life. .
(You can't tell him this yet! Otherwise, the big demon at Xueyun border may not be able to be dealt with by humans! Although I don't know why Ling Shuang is looking for him, I always feel that this guy looks very scary... …)
Shen Yan followed Ye Donglai, and the distance between them was about a few steps. The former looked worried, and the latter's indifferent temperament did not make him want to say anything to Shen Yan, so Silence fell between the two of them.
(Blooming blossoms... I don’t know what the master is thinking. This guy has a good nature. Even if you don’t want to accept him as a disciple, you don’t have to go through such a big circle to refuse, right?)
Because Yan Qing had already told Shen Yan everything he knew, he knew that what Ye Donglai insisted on protecting was just to become a disciple of the Great Elder, his cheap master.
But the only thing that Shen Yan couldn't figure out was why the Great Elder didn't refuse directly? Why let this guy Ye Donglai plant some kind of pear tree... This can be compared with the three incredible tasks of the legendary Song Dynasty.
"Shen Yan, do you think... can the pear tree really bloom?" After walking for who knows how long, Ye Donglai finally sighed softly. Shen Yan couldn't see his expression clearly, so naturally he couldn't guess what he was doing. What are you thinking about.
However, based on the tiredness and loneliness revealed in her voice, Ana Shen started to make assumptions.
"I should... yes!" Shen Yan's answer this time was ambiguous. It was the first time the two met and there was no connection between them. He could naturally say whatever he wanted, not to mention it gave Ye Donglai confidence.
But now... Although Ye Donglai didn't say it, Shen Yan and him had already exchanged their friendship with each other. If he deceived the other party again, no matter what the reason was, he seemed a little sorry for Ye Donglai...
After Ana Shen finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then gritted his teeth.
"actually……"
"No need to say it!" Ye Donglai's voice suddenly became so firm that Shen Yan, who had experienced many storms and waves, could not describe how solid the perseverance in it was.
Or, there are no words to describe it.
"What I want, what I want, all I can do... is to persist! Regardless of success or failure, at least perseverance will not regret it..." Ye Donglai's words sounded a little more humane at the moment.
But this was just facing this person who had the same temperament as him. If he hadn't been in front of Shen Yan, Ye Donglai would not have said such extremely emotional words.
In other words, when he spoke this time, he did not control his emotions rationally.
But... Ana Shen can understand.
"I'm very tired, very tired... I don't know when the pear tree will bloom, and I don't know if the promise I have been keeping will be fulfilled..."
Ye Donglai suddenly stopped and looked at the night sky.
"But every time when I feel tired, there is a voice inside me desperately telling me - don't give up! You can't give up. Once you give up, you will kill yourself!"
"Ana Shen..."
Ye Donglai suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Yan with burning eyes. It was hard to imagine that such an indifferent and thin body could burst out with such powerful eyes...
Just like a star, it will always shine brightly until it falls. At the moment it ends, even if it falls, it will burst out with the most brilliant light!
"The pear tree will bloom, right?"
Ana Shen pursed her lips. She didn't know how to face Ye Donglai like this, who had thrown all reason behind his mind... He didn't believe that the other party didn't know how difficult it was for a pear tree to bloom. Even though He doesn't know it completely, but if you think about it casually, no one would think that the flowering of the pear tree is a simple matter.
This kind of persistence, this kind of hard work, this kind of moving forward... Ana Shen understands, he understands it better than anyone else.
Therefore, under Ye Donglai's eager gaze, Ana Shen slowly raised his head, his eyes facing each other... The confidence and encouragement in his eyes even dyed the night with a dazzling light.
"Yes!"
Ye Donglai moved his lips, his expression flickered several times, and finally the light in his eyes gradually dissipated----
"Thanks!"
The voice was very soft, but Ana Shen heard it clearly.
"Friend, you shouldn't say thank you. Let's go. Ling Shuang has made an appointment with you. If Chang Ruo doesn't go up, I'm afraid that when I see him, that guy will have to wear small shoes for me..."
Ana Shen curled her lips, then continued to walk up the steps. Ye Donglai stopped where he was, and after a moment, the two of them started walking side by side.
"Friend...?" Ye Donglai's reason returned to him, and his eyes turned clear and indifferent again. It was as if everything just now had never happened.
(I think so!)
Ana Shen looked at Ye Donglai beside him. He didn't know what the other party was thinking... He also didn't know that the other party had confirmed his previous words in his heart at this moment...
Not long after, Ana Shen's worried expression suddenly disappeared, and then turned into a plain but mountainous smile----
(Every pear tree will bloom! I’m here----)
(must!)
In Wanjian Sect, on the steps of Tianshuang Sword Peak, on this night... Shen Yan made the second promise in his heart that he came to this world.
