Chapter 281: Ice and Snow Melting
Feng Ming's eyes were the only one in Feng Qingyi from beginning to end. After chatting for a few minutes, he leaned over and picked her up and said indifferently: "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
"I don't want to sleep!" Feng Qingyi rarely saw a guest coming to Wuyan Valley. She was just unwilling to be obedient. Feng Mingren struggled in her arms for a few times and refused to let go, and then decisively gave Di Zhong a wink. Di Zhong looked at his friend's serious coaxing woman with a funny face. Now he got up and said goodbye with tactfulness. He grabbed Xiao Qianye with one hand and picked up Yun Xiao with the other, and hurriedly said, "You two are going to bed quickly, and you will go back to Kunlun tomorrow morning."
Xiao Qianye was originally uneasy, but he saw that they said this and could go out. Unexpectedly, Yun Xiao looked at Feng Qingyi, who was still interested and waved his hand before he could finish his life: "I'm not sleepy yet, I still want to..."
Di Zhong raised his hand and knocked on her forehead. He took it out without caring about her muttering nagging. Feng Qingyi stared blankly at her forcibly thrown out by Di Zhong, and chuckled softly. Feng Ming hugged her and lifted it up. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He felt that he hadn't seen her so happy for many years. He walked straight into the inner room of the Yuyintai. Feng Ming carefully placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, then raised his hand to put out the candlelight, exhaled gently in her ear, and said warmly: "Go to rest."
"Master!" Feng Qingyi quickly grabbed him. Her body would emit a quiet snow light at night, reflecting the already shocking face, which was even more beautiful and gorgeous. Feng Ming hesitated for a moment, sat patiently on the head of the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Qingyi sat up with support, and I don’t know if it was affected by the snow light on her body, so she looked a little dazed: “Is Miss Yun also a disciple of Kunlun?”
"Well, she is the master of the head. You have seen it before. It is also an accident that you can teach such an apprentice." Feng Ming replied faintly, and saw a smile on her face, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"She is not the same as those in Kunlun before." Feng Qingyi grabbed Feng Ming's hand, her eyes were full of radiance. "Just just now, my master asked me to take them back to the inner valley to rest first, and she kept looking at me. I felt strange, so she asked her what she was looking at, and then she said..."
Feng Qingyi paused for a moment, her face turned red, she looked shy and cute, and she swallowed her mouth in a squeamish way. Feng Ming rarely saw her in such an mood and asked curiously: "What did she say?"
"She said I'm pretty and wanted to take a few more glances." Feng Qingyi lowered her head, and she was really embarrassed to say this. Feng Ming burst into laughter. He knew that Yun Xiao had the blood of the divine bird and had always been a bit unusual in his thinking, so he touched Feng Qingyi's face and added: "You are very beautiful."
"Master!" Feng Qingyi quickly lowered her head, feeling that her cheeks were about to burn, and then smiled, and continued, "She also asked the young master next to her if I look good, so she scared her to speak."
"Ha..." Feng Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing along the way. She looked at Feng Ming's eyes seriously, with a little hesitation. She suddenly sighed, and asked, "Master, this is the first time you have let outsiders enter the inner valley. Even if the people from Kunlun came, you only received them near Tianchi in the outer valley. Master, you said that person is a friend you have not met for a long time. Is this friend very important to you?"
"Well." Feng Ming felt her expression trembled in his heart, and his soft voice responded. "Master has been to many places and has many friends who have met by chance. He is different. He is an old friend and fellow practitioner who has been born and died and fought side by side."
Feng Qingyi was still looking at him gently, but she didn't notice the gloom that flashed on the other person's face. She held her hand and said, "It's true that he is as radiant as his master, but he seems a little unusual. He looks like a soul body, but he can't feel the existence of a soul. Have your friend encountered any changes?"
"He..." Feng Ming smiled helplessly and sighed, "He has been missing for many years, and his master only learned about him. The reason why he became that way is because he is already 'dead'."
"Diet?" Feng Qingyi's face, which was still smiling just now, immediately changed color in surprise. Feng Ming touched her cheek and comforted, "But it doesn't matter, you don't have to be afraid."
"I'm not afraid of him." Feng Qingyi quickly added, "How could I be afraid of your friend? I just saw that he looked a little strange, so I couldn't help but ask curiously, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, it's time for you to go to bed." Feng Ming lowered his head and replied casually, urging him in some sense of recession. Feng Qingyi had to lie down obediently. As soon as he was close to the pillow, he couldn't control his drowsiness. It seemed that there was some special force that forced her to fall asleep quickly. Feng Ming lifted the quilt up quietly. Seeing that Feng Qingyi forced her to open her eyes, she smiled sweetly at him while her mind was still awake.
With this smile, Feng Qingyi's face showed signs of translucency. Feng Ming remained silent and raised his hand to stroke the other person's forehead. He used the special divine power of the upper heaven under his palm, which was pouring into Feng Qingyi's body bit by bit.
The curtains in the Yuyintai house were windless, and Feng Ming didn't raise his eyes. He felt the faint afterimages suddenly appearing around him, and said coldly: "Di Zhong, you are getting more and more unruly. It's not good to break into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night, right?"
Di Zhong ignored him and looked at the woman gradually disappearing on the bed. The snow light forced the divine power of the heavenly realm to gather, forcing the body that was about to dissipate again little by little. He looked out from the half-open window. Although the sky was false, he could still feel that it should be around midnight in the morning. Di Zhong stood beside him, raised his hand and put it on his friend's shoulder, and used his own divine power to help him quickly gather his shape. Then he asked lightly: "Is this the legendary 's melting of ice and snow'?"
Slight sweat had already oozed from Feng Ming's forehead. After confirming that Feng Qingyi recovered, he breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other silently, walked out of the yuji platform and came to the stone table by the lake. They sat quietly for a long time, as if they had infinite thoughts.
"Mirror of Mirror..." After a long time, Di Zhong took the initiative to break the deadlock and said, "Mirror of Mirror of Mirror is a spell that solidifies time within a certain range, but this magic requires abundant divine power to maintain, otherwise it will gradually weaken with the outside world until it completely disappears. There was an emperor in Feiyuan. His queen was sent to Mirror of Mirror at the last moment of her life. From then on, she was trapped in that small world. She could not die or be saved."
Di Zhong paused for a moment, and indeed saw his friend remain silent, staring at the lake with his eyes solemnly, and said, "The Godly Power of the Queen Mother in the Silent Valley is enough to keep the Mirror of the Moon for a long time. If I was not wrong, the time here stopped at the day before she disappeared?"
Feng Ming's hand trembled violently. This was his long-standing thought, like a lingering haze, and said in a low voice: "When I saved her, she was only fourteen years old. She was thrown into the secret room by the Miao people and was about to feed the Gu King. After I killed the Gu King, I wanted to get rid of Meng Zhou together. Unexpectedly, the vicious gu technique had already connected Qingyi and Meng Zhou's life. I had no choice but to let him go, and then take Qingyi away alone. In the next two years, I took her back to Yanbo Island to ask Zi Su for help. After learning about the Immortal Medicine of Queen Mother of the West from Zi Su, I decided to come over and try my luck, and then unexpectedly entered the Valley of Silence."
"At the beginning, everything was fine. After Zi Su's treatment, she looked like she had recovered, which made me relax my vigilance." Feng Ming sighed heavily, and a look of regret appeared on his face. "Do you see, the Valley of Wuyan really looks like a paradise? I can even imagine the scene of Queen Mother of the West who was traveling here and was amazed and speechless. I had no life in heaven, so I took Qingyi here. There were many ancient books here, and she also liked them very much. A few years passed, one day when she was nineteen years old..."
Feng Ming suddenly woke up, and the happy smile that had been in a flash was replaced by haze: "On that night, I found that the snow light on her body became particularly bright, just like the snow girl I met for the first time. Then she became blurred little by little, and her whole body was about to dissipate like smoke. At that time, I realized... She was nineteen years old, and the snow girl's life would end at twenty years old. In desperation, I could only use the mirror of the mirror and moon to stop the time of the silent valley. In the next three hundred years, she would show signs of dispersion every night, and I would quietly help her gather together."
Feng Ming smiled bitterly, pressed his forehead hard and rubbed it hard, and his tone became increasingly out of control: "It's like this every day. In order not to let her notice, I secretly tampered with my hands and feet and let her fall asleep before every day. Di Zhong, do you think I have been in the Wuyan Valley for three hundred years? But I feel that I will only live the same day forever, and live the day I fear the most."
Di Zhong opened his mouth with a serious expression, but did not make any sound. Feng Ming continued to shake his head and smile bitterly, his eyes flashing brightly, with emotion, "Do you think I am unreasonable? To heaven, no matter whether she is twenty or two thousand years old, it is meaningless. Anyway, she will always die before us. It is childish and ridiculous to give feelings to a human being, haha... In fact, even I myself did not expect that after being a monster without any feelings for so long, I was really moved by a woman."
He suddenly remembered something, looked at his friend opposite him with a strange expression, and giggled: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are not qualified to laugh at me, after all, Qingyi is sincere to me, and Yun Xiao's thoughts are not even on you."
"Stop sarcasm." Di Zhong was suddenly stabbed to the pain and grinned awkwardly. Feng Ming's eyes closed slightly, his body tilted on the table, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I really regret that she is not my apprentice. I have never taught her anything. I want her to call me like an ordinary couple outside, but she refuses to change her words. She just likes to shout at the master one by one. I don't care. Anyway, there will be no outsiders coming in Wuyan Valley."
"It's just a title, it's no big deal." Di Zhong smiled faintly, Feng Ming sat up, and said unhappy with a tense face, "With that being said, she really makes me want to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life."
"You know this is impossible." Di Zhong answered his friend's words seriously, with a sharp look. "From the moment when the end of the realm gets the afterimage fragments, you and I are destined to be no longer ordinary people."
"I know." Feng Ming continued to speak lightly, unable to see any fluctuations in his expression. "Getting and losing the sky is destined, and what we have obtained is what others dream of. Di Zhong, I don't know how long this day can last. Maybe one day I will never be able to help her condense. If that day really comes, what should I do? Should I go back to heaven and continue my unchanging life, or just be like you, forget it if I die?"
Di Zhong's eyes darkened and he advised: "It really surprised me if you think so. Friend, death is never a solution to the problem. For example, I... the momentary impulse back then also made me lose a lot."
"Oh?" Feng Ming's eyes swept over Di Zhong, then silently turned to the direction of the guest room, as if he understood in his heart, and said indifferently: "Does Yun Xiao also include this many? But I see that you look, although I have regrets, I don't seem to regret it. What changed you? Could it be... the legendary Qiongqi who is born with disability?"
"Maybe." Di Zhong raised his head inadvertently, facing Shang Feng Ming's eyes with deep meaning, and suddenly hesitated and blurted out, "How do you know that it is a naturally disabled Qiongqi?"
Feng Ming paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating, and after a long time of seriousness, he looked at his friend and said word by word: "November ago, Chen Xuan came to me and said that he saw the remains of a ferocious beast born with disability in the prophecy of Lanyan."
Di Zhong was a little careless, but when he heard what he said, he immediately stood up. His pupils with gold and silver trembled violently, and some uncontrollable emotions exploded in his mind. He asked hoarsely: "Remain...its remains!"
