Chapter 137 The End and the Little People (3)
Unconsciously, the time has just arrived. At this time, every household turns out the lights and goes to sleep, but today is different. Everyone is waiting for the midnight bell that symbolizes blessing.
Shops and stalls were placed on the way up the mountain. The light of the red lanterns even passed through the mountains and forests, illuminating Fuji Town downwards, casting a warm light on the roof of the academy, and casting a shadow slantingly over the trees.
The wall of yellow flowers is shrouded in shadow. A faint fragrance floats, and there is only one place that shines in the black. That is the end of the wall, the interface between the main street and the academy road.
Luo Xuanyi came out of the palace and immediately saw the girl standing under the flowers, melting into the orange halo. The girl was not wearing the simple school uniform, but a new bamboo-green dress. Her back was to the palace.
On the flower wall, the right half of the hand is exposed with a bird lantern.
Zhang Qiu seemed to have heard something. He looked back and met Luo Xuanyi's gaze, who was stunned on the spot.
"...I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to still be waiting." Luo Xuanyi didn't know why, but she felt a little awkward and happy at the same time. She felt that her mood was the same as when she came out of the ancient fantasy world and saw the Jade Spirit Crane leaving a slate message for herself.
The feelings are very similar. She couldn't quite grasp what she was feeling at the time, but now the emotion is clearer.
Maybe this is touching? Or is this just a friend?
Luo Xuanyi didn't think she could waste her time or energy on anyone. If Zhang Qiu did something that was not conducive to her own interests, she would never let it go.
She found that she still had emotions other than happiness for Zhang Qiu, but she couldn't grasp them at the moment.
Zhang Qiu interrupted her self-analysis. She looked happy and angry at the same time. She turned around and trotted over. In the end, she didn't complain: "It's okay. It's not a very important thing in the first place. You also said before that you don't know how to do it."
I can't rush back, and I didn't wait around stupidly, here."
Zhang Qiu motioned Luo Xuanyi to look at her hand, and Luo Xuanyi noticed that Zhang Qiu also held a bird lantern in her left hand, but she did not light the lantern in it. Zhang Qiu raised her left hand so that the lantern was fully presented in front of Luo Xuanyi, proudly
The corner of his mouth curled up: "This is the blue bird lantern among the flying bird lanterns. You can only get it if you win the first place in the lantern riddle competition. It means spreading your wings and flying high without restraint."
"It's really amazing." Luo Xuanyi didn't know what a lantern riddle competition was, but with the word "conference" behind it, what kind of competition should it be. Imagining that Zhang Qiu got the first place after a bloody storm, Luo Xuanyi said with sincere admiration, "But why don't you light up the lanterns?
Is there any explanation?"
Zhang Qiu shook the lamp in his hand. Luo Xuanyi thought it looked familiar. The scene of her shaking the yellow croaker at her fellow juniors was still in front of her. She just heard her say: "I want you to light it for me."
"Xuanyi, I should be able to call you this, right?" Zhang Qiu suppressed his smile, and a smile skipped in his eyes after Luo Xuanyi nodded, "I want to apologize to you. In fact, I never thought that you would actually go to the appointment, because
You are a cultivator of immortality. The prejudice in my heart made me make this suggestion as a joke, but I didn't expect that you actually agreed to me and even made a time agreement."
Luo Xuanyi listened quietly.
"After you left, I always felt that I had done something wrong, so I went to ask my husband for advice. He said that I was biased. I had never gotten along with any immortal cultivators, but I thought that immortal cultivators did not treat mortals as human beings. It is undeniable.
There are both good and bad people in the world, and I shouldn't waste your sincerity with such preconceptions."
"I am a student. I want to be honest and walk my own path. I want to have a clear conscience. That's why I am waiting for you here today. Thank you for letting me see another side of the immortal cultivator."
"I apologize because no matter what, my motives are not pure. In fact, it's not that I haven't thought about whether I would be more at ease if you didn't come to the appointment. Now it seems to be a childish idea. I'm really sorry.
"When Zhang Qiu said this, she seemed to finally let go of a knot in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief. She was bathed in the brilliance and looked at Luo Xuanyi with her eyes sincerely. Luo Xuanyi even felt that the eyes were too dazzling and couldn't help but want to look away.
sight.
However, Luo Xuanyi still held back. She didn't know what to say now, so she simply said nothing. She just stretched out her hand and lit the dim lantern of the Blue Bird Lantern, silently reciting the fire-igniting formula in her heart. She only heard a "hoo",
The lanterns began to burn, bursting with warm orange light.
The first thing that shines brightly is the "heart" of the bluebird. The dark copper petals of the lotus seat shimmer as if plated with gold. After the warm light fills the "heart", it begins to blow into the wings of the bluebird about to fly. Every time
A piece of feathers painted the green color lifelike. Then, the light shined on Luo Xuanyi.
Luo Xuanyi was a little sad.
She finally understood why she couldn't be as relaxed with Zhang Qiu as she was with Yu Linghe. It was simple, because she understood that Yu Linghe was dead.
She would not be hurt by Yu Linghe after giving her friendship, so she could categorically tell herself that Yu Linghe was her first friend. She looked at Zhang Qiu, and she understood that Zhang Qiu's feelings at the moment had absolutely nothing to do with it.
It's false, but she can't trust Zhang Qiu sincerely.
Because people change, everyone has their own interests. Luo Xuanyi was born in Zang Yaozong. Rather than believing that others will not harm herself, she believes that others will not conflict with her for the time being. However, as long as there is contact, there will be
The possibility of betrayal, being hurt, being framed, or even being killed.
Rather than gambling on unnecessary feelings, Luo Xuanyi chose to protect herself and entrust her emotional demands to the dead.
However, these are not suitable to talk about now. Luo Xuanyi made up her mind that after visiting the Bell Ringing Party with Zhang Qiu today, she would never contact her again.
"This lamp is so beautiful. No wonder it is the first prize." Luo Xuanyi smiled and chose a topic.
Zhang Qiu also nodded naturally: "Even I think this year's questions are a bit difficult, as expected of me." When Luo Xuanyi was surprised by her confidence, she put the bluebird lantern into Luo Xuanyi's hand, "Take it, and the bell will ring.
Everyone on the mountain must hold a lamp. Let’s go to the Blessing Road. We should be able to hear the bells directly when we walk slowly to the top of the mountain.”
"Thank you, but you won this? You better keep it."
"It's okay," Zhang Qiu blinked, "I get one every year."
The two smiled at each other and walked side by side towards Fuji Mountain.
