Young Shi Mu nodded, adjusted the knife and stick on his back, turned around, and walked towards the garden door.
His footsteps were very heavy, and each step would leave deep footprints on the ground. When he lifted his feet, he would bring up a shower of rainwater.
After turning around a dense bush, the figure of young Shi Mu finally disappeared.
Shi Mu hung in mid-air, looking at Ximen Xue steadily.
She saw crystal light flashing in her eyes, and she stood for a long time looking at Shi Mu's footprints that extended into the distance and became deeper and deeper.
I don’t know how long it took, but she suddenly turned around, raised her right hand, and brushed her cheek with her sleeve. She looked a little sad. After pausing for a long time, she suddenly turned around and ran back in the direction.
past.
Her legs, as white and tender as snow, fell into the mud alternately, splashing muddy water, and her snow-white clothes were stained with dirt. Her graceful and graceful figure gradually disappeared in the rain.
Shi Mu was suspended in mid-air blankly, with a look of annoyance appearing on his face.
After a moment, a look of determination appeared in Shi Mu's eyes, and he moved and chased in the direction where young Shi Mu left.
After chasing for a hundred steps, Shi Mu saw "himself" when he turned a corner. The young man Shi Mu was slowly walking back.
"The Ascension Conference is a conspiracy, keep her and don't let her leave!" Shi Mu immediately flew over it and shouted as loudly as he could.
However, his voice echoed in his ears and only he could hear it, but the young man Shi Mu did not react at all.
Shi Mu swooped down and grabbed young Shi Mu's chest.
His five fingers stretched out and penetrated the young Shi Mu's body. They suddenly penetrated his body and came out from his back.
The young man Shi Mu didn't react at all. He walked straight through Shi Mu's illusory body and walked slowly over.
"Stop! Stop it!"
Shi Mu shouted loudly, but it had no effect at all. Young Shi Mu still walked over without stopping.
Just when Shi Mu thought that the two of them were destined to miss each other, the young man Shi Mu suddenly stopped.
He was seen standing in the rain with his head bowed, silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head, turned around and ran back towards the garden.
Shi Mu was slightly surprised when he saw this, and immediately flew up and chased after him.
"Go, go, go..."
A series of loud footsteps sounded in the night. Young Shi Mu, already soaked through his body, ran into the garden with long strides in the drizzle.
As soon as he turned around, he couldn't help but froze and stood still.
I saw a slender white figure in the night, like a swallow returning to its nest, passing through the heavy rain curtain and fluttering into his arms.
This person is naturally Ximen Xue.
Young Shi Mu had a look of surprise on his face. He crossed his arms and held Ximen Xue tightly in his arms.
Ximen Xue's clothes were soaked with water and clung to her exquisite body. Her hair, which was wet from the rain, hung down in front of her forehead to cover her eyebrows. Her beautiful eyes were shining with crystal light, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed.
Looking at young Shi Mu.
His pair of snow-white bare feet stepped in the mud, and most of them were soaked by the mud and water.
Young Shi Mu raised his arms, lifted Ximen Xue upright, and placed his feet lightly on his insteps.
As a result, Ximen Xue's figure suddenly grew taller, and his forehead reached right under the tip of Shi Mu's nose.
The two of them looked up and down, looking at each other, but neither of them spoke.
Young Shi Mu's eyes were blazing, and he looked at the crystal drop of water hanging on the tip of her delicate nose. He felt her slightly heavy breathing, and his heart suddenly moved, so he lowered his head and kissed her.
Ximen Xue's earlobes were slightly hot, and two rosy clouds had already appeared on her cheeks. Just when she was feeling shy, she suddenly felt a warmth on her lips, and she couldn't help but make a soft sound of "um" in her mouth.
This sound was extremely short, almost as soon as it sounded, it was blocked by Shi Mu's lips.
Young Shi Mu hugged her arms and couldn't help but hug her a little tighter.
Ximen Xue was stunned for a few seconds, and then raised his arms that were gently placed behind Shi Mu, and caressed Shi Mu's back.
Shi Mu floated up to the sky above the two of them. Looking at this scene, he felt a warmth in his heart unknowingly, as if he had merged into that body at this moment and was embracing Ximen Xue...
After a night of light rain, the sky was clear and clear in Tianyu City.
Before the early sun had fully risen, the tall city gate of Tianyu City slowly opened, and two figures walked out of the city gate side by side. They suddenly stretched out their figures, flew into the air, and flew away all the way to the east.
These two people were none other than young men Shi Mu and Ximen Xue.
Behind him, there was a translucent figure, but it was none other than Shi Mu.
He followed the two of them as they flew across the country, and unexpectedly returned to the territory of Da Qi.
After returning to Da Qi, the two did not return directly to the sect, but returned to the small fishing village where Shi Mu grew up when he was a child.
After paying homage to Shi Mu's parents, the two found a spiritually-rich mountain range on the border between Da Qi and Da Qin, opened up a cave called "Mu Xue Pavilion", and lived there for a long time.
Shi Mu followed the two of them all the way and stayed here.
Every day, he watched the two of them practicing magic together, resting on their gums together, respecting each other, and living a peaceful life.
It's just that such stable days have become a bit boring for Shi Mu. However, after the last experience of taking the Moon God Fruit, he is too lazy to try to escape from this illusion.
…
About a year passed, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow for three months. It finally cleared up on this day.
In "Muxue Pavilion", a long and long cry suddenly sounded.
Shi Mu, a young man in a green shirt, held a pink baby wrapped in a brocade robe in his arms, sitting on the edge of his gums, looking at his wife with a face full of love.
"Xue'er, thank you for your hard work." Young Shi Mu said softly.
Ximen Xue's face was a bit pale, and his hair wet with sweat clung to his cheeks, but his eyes were full of joy as he shook his head, supporting his body with one hand and trying to get up.
Young Shi Mu held the child in one hand and quickly helped Ximen Xue up with the other hand.
Ximen Xue leaned forward and looked at the baby in Shi Mu's arms, her eyes filled with the gentle light of motherhood.
Shi Mu's body was suspended at the top of the cave. Looking at this scene, his eyes unconsciously had a moist luster.
The baby wrapped in the brocade robe has eyebrows and eyes that are quite similar to his own, but his lips and nose are more similar to Ximen Xue's. His skin is very pink, white and rosy, and looks somewhat transparent.
"Is this Xue'er and my child? She is so beautiful..." Shi Mu seemed to have forgotten that he was in the illusion brought about by the Moon God Fruit, murmuring to himself.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but float down and hug the baby.
However, in this hug, the hand fell into the empty space.
Shi Mu finally came to his senses and shook his head mockingly.
But after a moment, he made a movement and leaned towards the body of young Shi Mu. Following his movements, he also made a gesture of holding a baby, merging his figure with his.
It was as if he was holding the baby at this moment.
"What do you think we should name our daughter?" Ximen Xue leaned sideways in Shi Mu's arms and asked.
After hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but be startled. He had never considered this issue before.
The young man Shi Mu fondly plucked Ximen Xue's green hair stuck to her cheeks and said, "It has been snowing for three months, but it is sunny today. Why don't we call her Xue Qing."
"Shi Xueqing...Okay, let's call her Xueqing." Ximen Xue said it twice and happily agreed.
Young Shi Mu showed a smile on his face, stretched out his finger, lightly tapped the tip of his daughter's nose, and called out softly: "Xiao Xueqing, Xiao Xueqing..."
Shi Mu's body slowly flew up and returned to the top of the cave again, looking at the family of three in silence.
If you have such a life, you should have no regrets in this life...
Since having Xiao Xueqing, Shi Mu has focused most of his attention on her, watching her babbling, watching her toddler walk, and watching her grow up following her parents.
More than ten years passed quickly.
Young Shi Mu's family has grown from three to five, and Muxue Pavilion has gradually expanded, becoming an elegant and unique courtyard.
In the past ten years, the young Shi Mu and his wife have not given up on practicing Taoism. They have communicated and learned with each other, proved each other's Taoism, and their cultivation has been steadily improving. Many sects, including the Black Demon Sect, have invited the two.
People came into their sect to become elders, but they were politely rejected by both of them.
The two of them have become accustomed to such a secluded life and no longer want to get involved in the chaos of the world.
As the two of them lived in this mountain for more than ten years, Shi Mu's temperament was somewhat affected and he became a little calm. Every day he would either look at those children or sit cross-legged and meditate.
In the state of his spiritual body, he cannot actually practice the Nine Transformations Xuan Gong or the Great Brahma Panwu Sutra, but he can practice it in his mind through meditation. In this way, he can figure out all the unclear joints in his past practice.
Already.
But sometimes, Shi Mu would be a little confused. Cai'er, Zhong Xiu, Yan Luo... some names would pop out of his mind, making him feel disappointed.
But everything in front of him was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to leave, and he didn't know how to leave.
…
Time flies so fast, more than two hundred years have passed.
Young Shi Mu is no longer young, and the feeling of vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows is actually a bit more than that of Shi Mu.
He was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, holding a blue scroll and looking down.
"What are you thinking about? You stared at the top line of words without moving for a long time." Ximen Xue walked out of the inner room and said.
She is still as beautiful as ever, but the aura exuding from her body is no longer the aura of a young girl, but has a bit more of an intoxicating gentle temperament.
"Xue'er, when did you come out?" Young Shi Mu smiled awkwardly and said.
