Chapter 39
He asked the Fox King if there was a solution, and the Fox King told him that there was no way, if he wanted to save the life of a mortal, he would leave, leave forever, and never see each other again.
Rong Yan never knew how difficult it is to make a decision, and how painful it is to leave someone.
He has long been used to Liu Yuxiao's presence in his life, how can he bear to let him leave now?
The way Liu Yuxiao looked at him, so trusting and so dependent, how could he leave him alone forever, see or not?
But he didn't leave, as the old fox king said, mortals can't stand the attack of monsters, and his body will gradually become weaker and weaker until the oil lamp is exhausted.
Liu Yuxiao's cough became worse, and finally one night, Rong Yan left without saying goodbye.
He returned to his own fox cave, where it was deserted and deserted, and he had been alone in it for thousands of years, living the spring, summer, autumn and winter alone, watching the flowers bloom and fade, and the seasons changing.
He hates this kind of life. There is no smell of fireworks in such a day, no one to accompany him when eating, no temperature when sleeping, and no one comes to talk to him in a day.
He felt that he was no different from the stone on the wall of the cave. The machine was cold. The only difference between him and the stone was that he could move and walk and talk when necessary.
He began to miss Liu Yuxiao, wondering if it would hurt him if he left without saying goodbye?
Rong Yan has lived for 1000 years, and has been free and unrestrained for 1000 years. No one has ever pulled his heartstrings so hard and made him so unforgettable, and he can't help himself.
These days are especially thousands of years apart.
Rong Yan couldn't help but use his spiritual power to create a barrier, from which he peeped into Liu Yuxiao's life...
He was still as thin as when he left, or even thinner than before, his face was as calm as water and there was no smile at all, his eyes were no longer radiant, and his nimble pupils were turning stiffly like a machine.
When the servant girl brought him tea, he just took it silently, without saying a word, and took a sip before sending it over.
He used to say thank you.
Rong Yan's body trembled a little, and he continued to look at the screen.
When the maid was about to leave with the water, Liu Yuxiao suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoyan...do you have any news about him?"
Rong Yan suddenly couldn't help it, he felt something in his eyes was flowing out uncontrollably.
Liu Yuxiao was looking for him?He is waiting for him at home?
Tears flowed down his beautiful face, he saw on the screen, Liu Yuxiao said again: "Go to the street and buy some better oranges, you want fresh ones, I'm afraid Xiaoyan wants to eat but only The rest."
"Don't look at him laughing a lot. He is very particular. He only wears white clothes and changes them every day. He loves oranges for fruit. He only eats small bites for three meals a day, for fear of getting fat."
……
Rong Yan's face became more and more moist. The former boy has grown up. He has grown into a tall, gentle and handsome young handsome man. He remembers his preferences, observes his every move, guesses his thoughts, and will Thinking of him wholeheartedly.
It turned out that he was not the only one who was afraid of losing each other all along.
Liu Yuxiao was also afraid that one day she would suddenly lose sight of Rong Yan.
Rong Yan couldn't bear to watch the oppressive scene on the screen anymore, his heart felt as if someone had stabbed him with an awl, blood flowed out, he retracted the screen and couldn't help running like a hole anymore.
This is his home, but since he met Liu Yuxiao, this cave seems to be just a place for him to practice, and the place where Liu Yuxiao is is his home.
He shouldn't stay here any longer, he's going to find the person waiting for him, his heart is left there, and he's going back to get it back.
When he arrived at the Liu Mansion, Liu Yuxiao saw him running towards him without saying anything, his thin and thin body staggered in the wind, Rong Yan ran over to meet him, and the two hugged each other.
Liu Yuxiao was trembling, and for a long time he asked cautiously, "Xiaoyan, where have you been? I am very worried about you."
Rong Yan looked at him and felt that he was a complete person at this moment.
After so many days of despair, I finally found a home in this hug.
He smiled: "I dreamed that the master came to me and said that I was not filial. I didn't go back to see him. He was short of money down there."
"I will quietly go back and pay him respects. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you were worried."
Liu Yuxiao looked at him: "Xiaoyan, you should tell me, I can go to see him with you. You have no parents, the master is your parents, I should go and see him...cough cough..." Liu Yuxiao Sincerely speaking.
Rong Yan looked at him, feeling grateful in his heart. He said that he would accompany Liu Yuxiao to see his parents on Qingming next year and take him to the master to pay respects.
Liu Yuxiao smiled happily.
Finally, he told Rong Yan: Don't leave alone in the future, he is very worried.
……
His thoughts came back again, Rong Yan looked at the sleeping face on the bed, he was so lucky, after thousands of years of being alone, finally someone could come closest to his world, make him willing, never leave, never ask the result, don't ask for attribution.
He covered Liu Yuxiao with the quilt and tucked it tightly, walked over and blew on the incense burner on the table, this is the incense of concentration, which was made by Rong Yan alone, Liu Yuxiao couldn't sleep well when he came in, so he practiced this incense for him to recuperate Nerves, help him sleep soundly.
Soon, this incense will no longer be needed.
Rong Yan's dark eyes looked at the faint smoke coming out of the censer hole, and when Liu Yuxiao recovered, he would return to his former vigor, just like when they first met.
Soon, as long as he is killing a few more people...
There was a flash of coldness in Rong Yan's eyes.
Since he came back that time, he never left Liu Yuxiao again.
But if he is by Liu Yuxiao's side for a day, Liu Yuxiao cannot have a good day.
Rong Yan is greedy, he neither wants to part with Liu Yuxiao nor wants to be separated from him.
He vowed to find a way to have the best of both worlds.
He summoned the former Fox King again with his spiritual power, and begged him to find a way with tears in his eyes. He told Fox King that he had no way to watch Liu Yuxiao leave him, and he couldn't deliberately ignore him.
Liu Yuxiao couldn't live without him either.
The fox king watched him for a long time, was moved by his affection, and finally told him that there was an old mahogany tree 100 meters behind the fox cave, and there was a hole under the tree with some books in it, maybe there was a way.
According to what the old fox king said, Rong Yan managed to find those books. After reading through them, he found a way to solve their current predicament.
But the method is a bit too...cruel...
The book told him that if humans and demons want to overcome the barrier of natural separation and live together forever, they need to kill five hundred mortals, dig out their hearts, and use magic power to refine them into pills for the demons to follow. After that mortal accepts it, after seventy-seven and forty-nine days, transfer half of his cultivation base to him, and he will be able to form a lifelong friendship with him.
Yes, one life and only one life.
He has done so much, expended so much energy, killed so many people, and done such things against the law of heaven, just so that he can spend the rest of his life with the one he loves in peace, like a normal mortal, loving his life forever old.
So what about mortals after they die?
The demon still has to return to its original world, and the lost cultivation base will not come back. If you want to continue to practice, you need to abandon the remaining half of your cultivation base and start over.
Such a high price is tantamount to self-destruction of life, Rong Yan still chose this road of no return, he knows how miserable it is to sit alone until dawn after a long night, and now there is someone who is willing to talk with him at night by candlelight, over wine, After tasting the warmth of the world, why are you willing to go back and face the cold wall?
After one life is over, Liu Yuxiao dies, without him in the world, what is there to miss about Rong Yan?
It doesn't matter if you go back to your former residence and start cultivating from scratch.
Rong Yan left Liu Yuxiao's room, went out and closed the door.
Last night, he didn't catch anyone, because the two people who appeared last night.
Those two people wandered the streets of the town in and out, so that even if there were scattered pedestrians on the road, he couldn't make a move.
The whereabouts of these two people are clearly waiting for something to appear.
Rong Yan knew that the other party was not human, and he could feel the mana of those two people.
He couldn't detect the reality of the other party, so he didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise he would fall into the hands of the other party, and all previous efforts would be wasted, and Liu Yuxiao would have to pay for his life.
Rong Yan's eyes were worried, he had to find a solution as soon as possible, if those two people were looking for a missing person last night, then he had to be more careful.
He has killed so many people, and seeing that success is in sight, he must not make any mistakes. He wants to get the remaining heart, refine it into a elixir for Liu Yuxiao to take, and he wants to live peacefully with him in this life. .
Thinking of this, Rong Yan's eyes became more determined, nothing can hinder him, and no one can hinder him.
……
Two days later.
On the street of Chenjiaqiao, a woman in her 50s knelt on the street and wailed loudly: "My daughter, my daughter...my Xiaoying...you come back...ah...my child..."
Su Yanzhi glanced at it, then slowed down the fanning hand, and walked over: "What's wrong with your daughter?"
Seeing Su Yanzhi and Yu Ning, two tall and handsome men, the woman wiped her tears, her voice choked up: "Master, my daughter Xiaoying... was selling the embroidered shoes she sewed herself in the town yesterday afternoon. Unexpectedly, after one night, she... didn't come back... woo... woo woo woo..." As she spoke, she became even more saddened as she thought about it.
"Does she usually not come home?"
"How could there be? Our Xiaoying is a very obedient and kind girl. She has always behaved well and never stays out at night... She hasn't come back for so long... I'm worried... She has been dragged away by the evil spirit... ...Woo..." The woman burst into tears again as if she had thought of something.
"Evil ghost?" Yu Ning intervened, could it be true?The shopkeeper who stayed at the store last time told him, but that night he and Su Yanzhi walked around the street for a long time and found nothing.
Today, the woman mentioned again, is there really something strange at work?
"The town is haunted. This is something that everyone knows. I was worried when she went out in the afternoon. I told her to come back early. If it wasn't for the difficult life at home these days, I would never let her go out to set up a stall to sell what she sewed. shoe……"
The more the woman thinks about it now, the more she regrets and feels sadder: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault... I have only one daughter... If something happens to her, how will I live in the future..."
The woman no longer looked at the two of them, she was immersed in a sad world by herself.
Yu Ning glanced at her curiously: "Ma'am, you said there is a ghost, so have you seen it? What does a ghost look like?"
The woman was crying, and when she heard the other party's question, she stopped crying, and looked at him in a daze for a second, what does the ghost look like?
How did she know, she only knew that Chenjiaqiao had been haunted by ghosts recently, people in the town, men, women, young and old, were lost and never came back.
I reported it to the government and couldn't find it. There was no trace at all. If it wasn't a ghost, who else would it be?
But how can she see ghosts? If she really met her, she wouldn't be here.
She looked at Yu Ning hesitating for a long time, and suddenly saw that he was dressed in a red brocade robe, his skin was white, his eyes were black and bright, his brows were full of unruly, and his tone was light and bright, she was very sad about losing her daughter, But the person in front of him asked back with such indifferent and frivolous words, and she couldn't answer his words. He was a little anxious for a while, seeing Yu Ning stopped crying, and changed his face with displeasure: "How can demons and ghosts be seen by ordinary people?" ? He must be operating in secret, if someone sees it, there is still work to do? I said young man, what do you mean by asking this question?"
After hearing this, Yu Ning stuck out her tongue and wanted to laugh, this woman really thinks a lot.He looked at Su Yanzhi and then at the woman, finally suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "Ma'am, I don't mean anything else, I just ask, we are also worried if your daughter is lost. Don't you want to find it for you?"
Su Yanzhi glanced at him, then shook his head lightly, looking at his appearance as a dandy second generation ancestor, it's no wonder that the old lady can't understand him, why doesn't he go to the street and sing with a smile on his lips?
So he interfaced: "That's it, we two seniors are passing here and heard rumors of evil spirits. I would like to know how we can help if possible." Su Yanzhi said it mildly, and the woman was obviously emotional after hearing his words. So also turn.
She looked at Su Yanzhi with a bitter expression on her face: "I don't know when it will start, our Chenjiaqiao is different from before..."
……
a long time.
The two bid farewell to the old woman, and Yu Ning looked at Su Yanzhi: "Could it be that there are monsters invading here like Dongqian Village?"
Just now the woman told them that there are already many dead here, at least hundreds of people.
But no one was found, and the government added a lot of manpower, but there was still no news, just like a stone submerged in the sea.
Gradually, everyone believed that there were monsters in the world, except for ghosts who could do such impeccable things, people would never be able to do it.
If it was artificial, how could it be possible that no one was found after such a long time, how could it be possible that there was no flaw at all?
So even though no final verdict has been given, everyone knows in their hearts that this is what the evil spirit did.
"Is there any, don't you know if you stay and have a look?" Su Yanzhi smiled, and put the folding fan away.
Yu Ning also laughed, yes, no matter whether he stayed to see or not, he would know.Anyway, they were fine, just like the last time in Dongqian Village, they stayed for a few days to watch a love and revenge drama between monsters...
"Candied haws." Yu Ning was talking and saw an old man in front of him carrying a large bunch of candied haws on his shoulders. The red hawthorns were covered with syrup and covered with sesame seeds. They were shining brightly under the sunlight, and Yu Ning's saliva almost flowed out. Oh, this is...too tempting, right?
