Chapter 52
The Qixi lanterns would last until very late that night. In the end, those lanterns that briefly turned into swallows turned back into swallow lanterns after the effect of the spell ended.
They hang in pairs on the eaves of the high towers in Fufeng City, shaking gently when the wind blows, much like the concentric knots hung on trees when people pray for marriage.
Early the next morning, Shang Qing and Yan Linhan went to Luofu Mountain in Beizhou.
The two held their swords above the clouds, and Shang Qing saw Dongchuan City passing by under his feet, and Liulin City, which was no longer a ghost city, and gradually began to be visited by people. It felt like a world away.
In fact, it was only a year.
It's just that Shang Qing has recovered a lot of things now, no matter what aspect it is, it is completely different from the him who woke up from the coffin with a blank face at that time.
After all, at that time, Shang Qing thought he was an unlucky player who was struck to death by lightning.
Thinking about it now, it's also quite interesting.
When he arrived at the foot of Luofu Mountain, Shang Qing inevitably felt a little uneasy.
Looking up, Luofu Mountain is overgrown with wild grass and jagged rocks, it cannot be called a beautiful place.
But think about it, there was a fierce battle here at the beginning, no matter how good the environment of Luofu Mountain was before, it would be destroyed by the various magic formations in the battle.Coupled with the resentment buried in the bones of the deceased, it is even more desolate and gloomy.
"Go, I'm with you."
Yan Linhan was always able to detect Shang Qing's little emotions quickly, and he naturally felt sorry for Shang Qing's going to face Luofu Mountain—the place where he had died once.
But since Shang Qing has decided to retrieve his memory, Yan Linhan will help him do it.
Shang Qing nodded, and began to use his spiritual breath as a guide to look for the magic lamp that might be sealed somewhere in Luofu Mountain.
I thought it would take a lot of effort, but when Shang Qing arrived at Luofu Mountain, he seemed to have vaguely felt some past memories. When he looked for it, he suddenly remembered that the turning lamp should be hidden in...
Shang Qing came to the back of Luofu Mountain, where there was a stalactite cave located in a remote place that was not easy to be found.
At that time, he used this cave as a temporary cave, borrowing the aura of the earth veins under Luofu Mountain, and prepared to make a breakthrough from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Transformation Stage.
A ray of spiritual breath wandered in the cave, leading Shang Qing's sight to a stone wall.
Based on the experience of finding the soul-seeking lamp in the ancestral hall last time, Shang Qing knew that nothing could be seen here, and he could not detect any abnormalities. He needed to cover the entire wall with his own spiritual breath to open it.
The stone wall made a sound, and gradually split to both sides, and a red spiritual lamp rolled down from inside.
The familiar seven-star pattern is very similar to the other two spiritual lamps, but the order of arrangement has also been changed.Different from the blue of the soul-guiding lamp and the cyan of the soul-seeking lamp, the turning lamp is blazing bright red, as if to show that people who use it are somewhat crazy.
Shang Qing held the turning lamp in his hands, but first glanced at Yan Linhan.
Yan Linhan came over, stretched out his arms and hugged him from behind, and said, "No matter what you see, it's all in the past, so don't be afraid, I'm right behind you."
His special cool body temperature came from behind, as if it gave Shang Qing a reassurance.
Shang Qing lowered his head and put the turning lamp on his forehead.
A layer of faint red light lit up at the bottom of the lamp, awakening Shang Qing's buried memory.
It seems to be countless dreams blown by the wind.
……
Outside Youzhou, under the abyss, there are many bones, full of ghostly aura.
The little Shang Qing was carried on Yun Yan's shoulders and brought out of Wanguyuan.At that time, Shang Qing turned his head quietly and looked at Ji Guichen, who was wearing a black gold robe, with his back turned towards them, and he didn't turn back until he was hidden in the thick ghost fog.
That year, when Shang Qing was seven years old, he was brought back to the Chong Hua Sect by Sword Master Yun Yan and became his youngest direct disciple.
……
On Longyuan Peak, there were still many disciples at that time, coming and going, laughing and gossiping, it was very lively.
Shang Qing has become a teenager, and his stature is growing, like a peach blossom that has just sprouted, beautiful and full of aura.
One day, Master Yunyan brought back two fairy birds from the Yaochi in Xishan, the big one was an egret, and the small one was a blue sparrow.One for each of Qin Che and Shang Qing, and a name for the garden where they lived.
Shang Qing was very playful at that time, and suddenly wanted to make a beautiful nest for Qingque.Qingque is also a little clever ghost, one person and one bird began to figure out how to play tricks on the egret in Qin Che's garden next door.
The next day, Shang Qing secretly plucked the egret's tail feathers. As a result, the egret was proud and arrogant. After being pulled out of the tail feathers, the egret ran away in anger.
And Shang Qing was chased by Qin Che from the front yard of Jian Hut to the back yard because of this.
Shang Qing panicked and jumped onto the peach blossom tree in the backyard, panting slightly to bargain with Qin Che, trying to avoid being beaten.
At that time, he inadvertently glanced outside the courtyard wall, beside many Longyuan Peak disciples covering their mouths and laughing, there was a tall and slender young man that Shang Qing had never seen before.
He was dressed in white, like cold jade in the snow peak, standing there looking up at Shang Qing.
That year, when Shang Qingxu was fifteen years old, he met Yan Linhan for the first time, but he didn't have time to know each other's names.
……
In front of the gate of Yunya Mountain, the snow is covered, and the sword light flows.
Last year, Shang Qing amazed the audience in the Xianmen Grand Competition, but this year he cultivated the Golden Elixir, which is just like a young man with a high-spirited spirit.So one person and one sword traveled alone, discussing swords with disciples of the same generation from various sects.
It is said to be about swords, but because of the complete victory in all battles, it looks like it is a door-to-door kick.
Shang Qing's sword was startled, his body was like a light cloud, he raised his hand to withdraw his sword, and another Yunyashan disciple was defeated in front of him.
On the stone steps not far away, Mu Jishuang patted Yan Linhan's shoulder beside him, and said to him: "Junior Brother, our Yunya Mountain's face depends on you."
Yan Linhan was four years older than Shang Qing, and became famous a few years earlier.That year's Immortal Gate Grand Competition, Yan Linhan happened to be in retreat and did not participate.
On the other hand, Mu Huashuang has become an obsessive swordsman, and never wants to miss any year of the Xianmen Grand Competition.
When Mu Jishuang came back, he talked about Shang Qing with Yan Linhan, saying that he was young and reckless, and his swordsmanship was nimble and graceful. Although he lost three moves, he was convinced.
He said, Junior Brother, you really should go and see, I don't know how wonderful it will be when you talk about swords.
Yan Linhan looked at the young man under the stone steps, and suddenly remembered the bright face he saw in the peach blossoms a few years ago.
So he stepped forward under the gaze of everyone, and said to Shang Qing, "Please enlighten me."
That year, Shang Qing was seventeen and Yan Linhan was twenty-one.
That sword fight ended in a draw.
……
In the following year, they gradually became acquainted with each other through countless sword discussions and fights.
Both of them are young and energetic kendo geniuses, and they always groan and tremble when they hit the blade, and finally they are willing to stop.
Then one day, after Shang Qing stopped, he casually threw a jar of green plum wine from Fufeng City to Yan Linhan.
The wine is not intoxicating, with a slight sourness and sweetness after returning to sweetness.
With Shang Qing's clear and lively eyes, he glanced at Yan Linhan from a distance, and then suddenly broke into a smile.He raised his head and shared a drink with him from a distance away.
Slightly tipsy after drinking, Shang Qing hugged the wine jar and sat under the tree in a daze.The whole person did not show his sharpness when he was holding the sword, his body was pressed softly on his arms, his snow jade-like complexion was covered with a thin layer of red, and his pale lips were stained with wine, moist and soft.
Just like the early spring, a touch of peach blossoms suddenly bloom.
Yan Linhan looked at him, and suddenly realized that the swordsman who turned out to be astounding everywhere was also a beaut who could move people's hearts.
In the next year, between the sword and the sword, there was a little more youthful heart.
After the trick, it's no longer a simple goodbye. Shang Qing will ask Yan Linhan to eat something he likes, and Yan Linhan will remember to bring something back to Shang Qing when he goes elsewhere occasionally.
Coming and going, old enemies in the eyes of others have become close friends.
That year, in the nineteenth year of the Shang Dynasty, Yan Linhan was twenty-three.
……
Within the Snowy Immortal Palace, the Immortal Tower and Jade Pavilion are covered with snow.
Shang Qing and Yan Linhan stumbled into the ancient ruins of a fairy palace by chance, and met a Snow Mirror Demon who had practiced for many years, and they couldn't help but drag them into the illusion.
The Snow Mirror Demon feeds on desire, love, hatred, hatred, greed, anger, ignorance, and anger, all of which are nourishment.The most favorite of the seven emotions and six desires, so the illusion is ever-changing, exploring the love from the bottom of the heart, and turning it into a scene of bliss.
Interlocking fingers and leaning over to embrace each other is just the beginning of the illusion.
Bow your head and kiss, the skin touches, it's just the beginning of blushing and heartbeat.
Clothes were crumpled, breathing became fragmented, more body temperature blended, and limbs were entangled.In the illusion, the falling flowers are flying, the breeze is blowing, the sky is full of soft and tender peach blossoms, and even the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.
Sentimental and confused.
When the Snow Mirror Demon had enough desire, Shang Qing was able to escape from the illusion.
He recalled that in the fantasy world where the sea of love was overturned just now, Yan Linhan was originally calm and self-sufficient, but gradually fell into the abyss for him, and those eyes stained with wind, moon and red dust actually felt... not only not annoying, but very beautiful.
Although he knew that it was just an illusion, he had to admit that he was indeed moved by Yan Linhan.
Shang Qing panted lightly, calming down the enthusiasm in the illusion, his face still had a tinge of blush, making that face even more radiant and moving.
When Yan Linhan broke through the illusion and came out, Shang Qing turned his head and looked at him quietly.
Yan Linhan's eyebrows, eyes and lips are always sharp and awe-inspiring. Even if he has just fallen into the illusion of the Snow Mirror Demon, he still looks calm and desolate.
It's just that the redness on the edge of his eyes that hasn't dissipated, and his breathing that hasn't been completely calm, quietly betrayed him.
Shang Qing, with a bit of malice in his heart, purposely approached him and asked, "What did you see in the illusion of the Snow Mirror Demon just now?"
Yan Linhan didn't answer right away, he looked at Shang Qing, and there seemed to be endless turbulence in his eyes.
Just when Shang Qing thought he couldn't speak, Yan Linhan spoke up.His voice was deep and hoarse, completely different from usual, as if he was suppressing some monstrous waves.
To Shang Qing's question, he only answered two words: "It's you."
It only needs two words, and Shang Qing understands... It turns out that Yan Linhan, just like himself, saw each other in that fantasy world where the world of mortals was turned upside down.
Shang Qing felt his heart pounding. As if possessed by a demon, he raised his hand and brushed Yan Linhan's cold brows and eyes that were rarely stained with red, and then said in a low voice that he had never heard before, "I also , saw you."
Then, one raised his head and the other bent down.
They had the same heart-to-heart connection as they had done countless times, and they had a tacit understanding. In the ancient ruins in the ice and snow, they exchanged a kiss with each other.
That year, Shang Qing was twenty and Yan Linhan was twenty-four.
