Non-delivery

Chapter 154 8 years ago

After Xie Changming left, Sheng Liuyu began to stay behind.

The fresh fruits are provided on a regular basis, and the brothers in the academy have worked tirelessly to deliver them. Of course, a lot of Lingshi has also been paid in advance.The cat can have a pan-fried small yellow croaker every other day, the weight loss business has to be suspended, and the treatment is suddenly rich, the purpose is to encourage it to use more energy to amuse the owner.

Before Xie Changming left, the windows were also pasted up, and one of the desks that had been used for many years was painted off, and a painting of colorful flowers was painted there again.

There are still many picky conditions. When Xie Changming comes back, he will meet them one by one. Many items are very precious and cannot be bought easily. He will have to redecorate this room when he has time in the future.

The owner is not around, Sheng Liuyu is much more diligent than before, probably has nothing to do, except pet the cat, and can only study.

Learning can't make him happy, but it can make time go faster.

During the period, Xie Changming came back once, the situation seemed to be a little serious, he only rested for one night, and left again the next day.

He left Sheng Liuyu a lot of paper-folded spirit birds, and they only need to dot their eyes with ink, and they can fly to the predetermined place—where Xie Changming is.

So when bored, Sheng Liuyu wrote to Xie Changming.He is a very face-saving bird, seeing characters is like seeing people, even in the past, when his eyes couldn't see, he still practiced calligraphy with a special pen and ink, and his handwriting was very strong.Recently, I have read some casual books and wrote a lot in my letters.

Until people suddenly came from Xiaochongshan, this time it was very exciting to mobilize the crowd, and there were many people on the fairy boat, and the scene was very grand.

More than 100 guards, dozens of maids and maids, plus several elders.

Sheng Liuyu was still very calm, he summoned them in Langyue Courtyard, received the greetings of these people as usual, didn't ask much, just tilted his head, and the elders in charge understood what he meant.

This elder was about eight or nine hundred years old, with white beard and hair, very immortal, but he was very respectful to Sheng Liuyu, and explained: "Your Highness, soon it will be the day when the altar will be opened to worship the heavens."

Worshiping the sky is a major event in Xiaozhongshan, and it is also very important to the world of cultivating immortals.The Changming Bird will open an altar to listen to God's will.The gate of heaven is wide open, and it is rare for the gods to give guidance to the world, send down auspicious signs, and tell the divine bird what to do next.

As a rare divine bird in the world, Sheng Liuyu is too young to preside over the ceremony, but at least he should go back.

Sheng Liuyu was stunned, and thought for a while: "The ceremony is once every hundred years, counting according to the time, isn't there still dozens of years?"

The elder said: "It should be like this. But a while ago, the altar suddenly shone with a golden light, leaving a few oracles, saying that it is an eventful autumn, the devil world is chaotic, the world is turbulent, the human mind of cultivators is unstable, and rumors are everywhere. Therefore, God’s decree must be issued in advance to indicate the way forward.”

It's quiet around.

All idlers in Langyue Courtyard are not allowed to enter. There is a circle of guards outside. The maids are standing on the left and right. They are well-trained, their heads are half down, and their breathing is so soft that it is almost inaudible, as if they don't exist.

The cat stopped meowing.

Sheng Liuyu raised his hands, and he saw the gray tiles on the eaves not far away. After a long time of wind and rain, there was an obvious crack on it.When the wind blows, it is crumbling.

He actually didn't like Xiao Chongshan, and he didn't need other people's service, so he suddenly said, "What is a god?"

This is a very strange and outrageous statement.

The elder was startled, and it took him a while to realize: "Your Highness, speak carefully."

The gods are gods, and no one has ever seen the true face of the gods, but the decrees and oracles are all true. This is the reliance of Xiaozhongshan.

If he couldn't find the result, he went to see it by himself, searched for it by himself, and found out by himself.

Sheng Liuyu didn't want to get to the bottom of it, nor was he curious about the so-called "God", but what happened before was related to it, so he had to care.

Before these people came, Sheng Liuyu had just poured a cup of scented tea, spread a piece of paper on the stone table, and was about to write a letter to Xie Changming.

Letters still have to be written, but the content is completely different.

Sheng Liuyu took a sip of cold tea and said slowly: "Since the matter is urgent, there is no need to wait, I will return today."

He glanced at them again: "Go to the boat first."

Everyone responded and rushed out like a tide, and the narrow and cramped courtyard suddenly opened up.

The elder sitting on the other stone bench also left, seemingly relieved, probably prepared to be rejected.

Sheng Liuyu wrote a letter with a guilty conscience, informing Xie Changming of the situation here.Xie Changming told himself to wait for him obediently in Langyue Courtyard, but he suddenly had something to leave.

As I was writing, I thought of many things Xie Changming said and left many times, and I became a little more confident.

An hour later, the fairy ship's fuel was refilled and it was ready to leave.

Everyone in the academy knew about Xie Changming's rescue of Sheng Liuyu. It was impossible for Xiao Chongshan to have heard nothing about it, and Sheng Liuyu knew about it, so he didn't hide the fact that he lived with Xie Changming.

Furthermore, when he returns this time, he can tell his father by the way that his heart belongs to him, and he already has someone who can be with him for the rest of his life and become a Taoist companion.

The guard asked from the side: "Your Highness, is there anything else you want to take back?"

Sheng Liuyu didn't miss it very much, it was just a trip back to Xiaochongshan, and she will be back soon.He hugged the cat, picked a few from the fresh fruits delivered today, and put away the eyeless paper birds. He had no other luggage.

Finally, his gaze landed on the window that was covered with green spinning, and then slowly moved away, turned around, and walked away unhurriedly.

The fairy ship stopped on the stone platform in front of the mountain gate. It is not very appropriate to say that it is a stone platform. In fact, it is the relic left after Da Neng chopped down half of the mountain with his sword.

There were more people who came to see them off than when the little Changming Bird came for the first time.

Sheng Liuyu saw Chen Yibai crowded in the front, as if saying Xie Changming's name.

"Brother Xie, you go out for a while, the Taoist partner has run away."

Fortunately, Sheng Liuyu didn't hear it because he was far away, otherwise, he would have to make another note.

Sheng Liuyu hugged the cat, pushed open the window, and got farther and farther away from the empty stone platform. The faces of teachers, classmates, those who knew or didn't know became blurred, and finally became small dots.

Skylight and cloud shadows return by the moon.

It's so strange, even though it's not a very familiar place, you will feel a little lonely when you leave.

Lulin Academy is not close to Xiaozhong Mountain, and they are not on the same continent. Even if they travel thousands of miles a day, it will take a few days.

Once the fairy ship enters the cloud, it will not stop on the road unless it reaches the destination.

The boat was full of birds from Xiaochongshan, fresh fruit, fresh meat and other food were the most prepared, Sheng Liuyu didn't like those, he ate Bigu Dan.

The oarless boat drove through the clouds and mist, and sailed above the sky.

Sheng Liuyu lives in a room by the side of the ship, and most of the time, he practices illusion by himself.It is easy to transform tangible things, but the hardest thing is to create illusions out of thin air without the help of feathers.Sometimes he would open the window, catch the cold moving clouds, and experience the deception of the senses by the invisible.There were no other living things in the room, so he tried it on the cat. The cat was cheated many times and was very angry and didn't want to talk to him.

At dusk, the sky gradually faded, and a maid came to the outer hall to deliver things as a routine. Through the curtain, the sound of very light footsteps could be heard.

Sheng Liuyu closed her eyes, thinking about how to use light and shadow, wind sound, and traces of people to create a more realistic illusion.

The cat is sleeping on the windowsill.

Suddenly, a child's voice said: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Sheng Liuyu was startled, he didn't notice when there was someone more in the room.

He turned around, opened his eyes, and there was a doll with a terrifying face sitting on the stool beside the round table.

Or, something more.

When it saw Sheng Liuyu, it immediately became lively, and called him sweeter: "Your Highness! I have a letter from you!"

Sheng Liuyu stood up and walked over.

It is a doll made of wood, about half the height of a person, somewhat similar to the child Sheng Liuyu has seen in the New Year pictures in the world, but it is not naive, but has a big head, a round belly, short and thick limbs, like No, it just feels weird.

It has no spiritual power all over its body, it is like pure wood, with delicate mechanisms inside, so it can be so flexible and can make sounds.

Sheng Liuyu had never seen this kind of thing before, only thought it was ugly, looked at it for a while, and didn't ask any questions, just slowly took out the Cuichen Mountain, the bow was half drawn, and the puppet burst into tears.

Just no tears.

It said: "The name of the little slave is Qingfu, and the master sent him to deliver letters to you."

The cat was woken up by the strange thing crying, and was taken aback, probably because it was so ugly, it looked like it wanted to come but didn't dare to come.

The green clam opened its mouth while crying. The mouth, which was only normal in size, was dislocated in an instant. From the eyebrows to the neck, it became a completely black hole. It was impossible to see the bottom, and it looked like a rotating vortex inside. , There is a very slight spiritual fluctuation.

After a while, a letter spit out from the vortex.

Qingfu's face was full of joy, and her laughter was creepy. Coupled with a dark face, there was only indescribable horror: "Your Highness, your letter!"

This is a very strange thing. There are hundreds of guards on the fairy ship, and the maids walking through the ship are not low in cultivation. What's more, there are elders on duty. Sheng Liuyu's senses are more sensitive. How can such a thing came in?

He asked, "What are you?"

The green clam's mouth was closed in the next moment, and the black eyeballs rolled for a moment. Its whole body, every mechanism is very delicate, it seems that its owner is not unable to make it perfect, but out of some kind of interest, deliberately made it The green clam is made like this.

It laughed heartily, with a strange light in its eyes: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I am really lucky to be able to deliver a letter for you! Other brothers and sisters don't have such a good job!"

After a pause, he realized that he wanted to answer Sheng Liuyu's question, and said honestly: "I am the master's green clam, someone asked the master to send you a letter, well, this business is very important, so the master sent me here !"

It talked upside down and clapped its hands, making it difficult to understand.

Sheng Liuyu was thinking, was it a mistake to try to negotiate with it.

Qing Chi chirped: "Your Highness, don't you read the letter! It's a very important letter. The master said that the commission for this transaction is extremely generous, so he agreed."

With a personality like Sheng Liuyu's, it was destined to be impossible to touch something that was taken out of someone else's mouth. With a light tap of his finger, the letter floated into the air, but he still didn't open it, and asked again: "Who is your master? "

The cat seemed to have made up its mind that it could no longer let its owner and this strange thing be in the same room, and acted like a spiritual pet. It rushed forward desperately, but was bounced away by an invisible formation.

Try again, play again.

It screamed heart-piercingly, trying to remind its master, but Sheng Liuyu didn't seem to hear it either.

Qingfu said: "My master is the master of Jinyi Pavilion, his name is..."

He lowered his voice in fear again: "... His name is Zhao Shiming, if the master cannot hear me calling his name, he will be beaten!"

Sheng Liuyu didn't know this person.

His hand stopped in the air, and he continued to ask, "Where did this letter come from?"

Qingfu faltered for a while: "Before I came, the master said that Your Highness is a divine bird, different from other people. The source of the letter should be kept secret. In business, the most important thing is to pay attention to credibility. But Your Highness wants If you ask, you should tell His Highness."

Sheng Liuyu just listened to what it said, and didn't take what it said seriously.

Like, he knew it was just a puppet, not a living thing, so someone was behind it manipulating it.

Qingfu sighed, and said in a very secretive way: "18 years ago, someone gave the master a letter to set the present day, and I will give you that letter."

Its voice was so small, as if it was really telling a secret that could not be made public, it suddenly jumped onto the table, ran to Sheng Liuyu in two or three steps, and smiled.

That expression should be called "smile", it asked eagerly: "The master really wants to know who that person is, what about your highness, does your highness know?"

Sheng Liuyu ignored it.

He instinctively felt that this letter might be related to his life experience, 18 years ago was the time when he broke out of his shell.

Sheng Liuyu thought for a while and decided to open the letter.When hesitating, it's not that he doesn't want to face the reality, but that just a random person, a random letter, and news that doesn't know whether it's true or not may only confuse his mind.

But now the decision to take it apart is because Sheng Liuyu doesn't feel that she is so easily deceived.

In the previous 18 years, most of the time, the little Changming bird had no vision, no hearing, and no one to accompany him. What he learned was all learned by groping.Even though he is a divine bird, compared with the general healthy and happy people, his life is not happy and happy.But maybe it is nature, he is good at being alone, can endure loneliness, and will not give affection to unworthy people, so although he is not happy, he does not suffer much pain.

Xie Changming was the only one he wanted but didn't get.

But only once, not now.

Sheng Liuyu's life can be considered smooth, without loss, without experiencing deep pain, so he can think so highly of himself.

until he opened the letter.

Without evidence, things that sound like fantasy will be believed unconsciously, because they are so concerned that they are afraid of being hurt.

It turned out that his heart was not rock-like and could be shaken so easily.
