The other side of time

Chapter 3 Alcohol is not drunk...

(three)

A few days later, Xie Yi saw that Chu Qi's injury was almost healed, so he put the search for Zhaoming on the agenda.

Since he brought Aruan back from Wushan four years ago, he has lived in seclusion, and rarely left Jingshui Lake except for looking for materials for Yanjia.One is that his appearance has not changed for many years, it is a normal thing in Floating Moon City, people in the lower world will inevitably feel suspicious; second, the less he goes out, the less likely he is to be found.Once you leave now, there are bound to be many dangers.To be honest, he didn't want to involve Ah Ruan in the right and wrong of Liuyue City.

Although Chu Qi knew about Ah Ruan's origin and that she was the key to reorganizing Zhaoming, it was different now than it would be more than a hundred years later.Ever since Shen Ye formed an alliance with the heart demon, most of the people of the Lieshan tribe have been infected with demon energy.But Liuyue City has been dragging and not throwing in many wooden sticks, and the heart demon has absorbed very little of the seven emotions of the lower realm, and its power is not strong, which cannot be compared with that after more than a hundred years.To cut off its connection with Jumu and get rid of it, it is not necessary to use a complete Zhaoming, as long as it has the power of Jianxin and the ancient sword Hanguang that can carry the power of Jianxin.Jianxin is in the tomb of the goddess at the bottom of Wushan. From this point of view, Han Guang is the only one who needs to search hard.

While looking for Han Guang, it would be more appropriate to send Ah Ruan back to the safer Wushan.

But the little girl's attitude is very firm, she will follow Xie Yi no matter what.

"No, I don't want to go back to Wushan, and I don't want to be separated from Brother Xie Yi. I don't understand what you're saying, so don't try to drive me away anyway!" A Ruan said angrily, pouting.

"Ah Ruan is obedient." Xie Yi persuaded helplessly: "This trip with Chu Qi may be very dangerous, how can I bear to put you in danger?"

"It's because of the danger that I want to protect Brother Xie Yi." Ah Ruan was so anxious that she almost shed tears: "I, I am the goddess of Wushan, very powerful!"

Chu Qi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "We want you to go back to Wushan, not to drive you away. It's just that there is something that only you can do. Don't you want to help Xie Yi?"

"What's the matter?" A Ruan glanced at Chu Qi suspiciously, she still neither liked nor believed this man.

"Zhaoming Jianxin at the bottom of Wushan needs someone to guard it. If we accidentally leaked the news when we were looking for Han Guang, and Jianxin was stolen, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?" Chu Qi tried his best to put down a gentle tone and said: " Since you are the Goddess of Wushan, if you occasionally perform your duties and guard the water and soil, who else is more suitable than you?"

"It seems to make sense, but..."

"If you don't want to, then I will seal you up. Xie Yi and I will go to find Zhaoming alone, and the other will guard Jianxin in Wushan." Chu Qi's tone suddenly became colder, "Acting alone, what Xie Yi encountered The danger will also be doubled, you can think clearly."

"You're threatening me, you're really annoying!" A Ruan looked at Xie Yi with a begging look: "Brother Xie Yi..."

Xie Yi nodded and said: "Chu Qi is right. Zhaoming Jianxin and Gu Jianhanguang are equally important, Ruan, would you like to share my worries?"

"Even brother Xie Yi said that..." Ah Ruan frowned dissatisfiedly, she thought for a while, and said to Chu Qi: "Okay, I'm not afraid of being sealed by you when I go back to Wushan, I want to help Brother Xie Yi!"

"Good Ruan..." Xie Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly.I also didn't expect that Chu Qi was usually reticent, but now he was quite able to talk, which was a bit surprising.

In fact, he also thought that if Ah Ruan couldn't be said no matter what, he could just seal her up.What Chu Qi said coincided with his thoughts again.

After packing up his luggage and coaxing Ah Ruan to sleep, Xie Yi came to the courtyard and stared at the lake in a daze.

This place will never come back again.

"Maybe it was a mistake for me to bring Ah Ruan back from Wushan." Xie Yi sighed, "Chu Qi, actually, you don't have to take this risk with me. Since you have already escaped from Master, why bother to execute him?" order?"

Chu Qi shook her head: "I said before, my actions now are all out of my own will, and have nothing to do with the master's order. The purpose of looking for Zhaoming is the same as yours."

To protect one person, one city with the strength of a lifetime, that's all.

He proposed a wine jar: "I'm going to set off tomorrow, so why not have a good drink and take it as a practice."

Xie Yi saw that it was the old wine that he had hidden in the cellar, and he didn't know how Chu Qi found it, so he couldn't help laughing: "I also have the same intention. Sometimes I really feel that you are like the wine in my stomach. No, like another me in the world, you know what I want to say and do."

...It was originally.

But Chu Qi didn't say that.

At this time the moonlight was thick, the two sat under the flower stand, filled the wine cups and drank together, after a few glasses, Xie Yi talked more and more.

"I used to steal a jar of wine from the Shennong Festival every year, and took the master to drink with me. Although I didn't know how to go back every time. But I still went to steal it the next year, because the city It is bitterly cold all the year round, material resources are scarce, and there are not many opportunities to drink wine."

Chu Qi naturally knew these things, so he replied: "Yes."

"It's been so many years, and I don't know how Shizun is doing—well, it must be bad if I think about it. Hey, Chu Qi, what kind of person do you think Shizun is?"

Chu Qi glanced at the bright moon hanging high, and said: "Master...he is like the lonely moon in the sky, far away, like ice and frost..."

He didn't continue the second half of the sentence, because Xie Yi took over the conversation: "...but he was alone in the long cold night. Look, our thoughts are exactly the same."

"...Hmm." It would be strange if it was different.Chu Qi silently filled the wine for the two of them again.

"Chu Qi, do you hate Master?" Xie Yi drank his glass of fine wine in one gulp, "He turned you into another person, deprived you of your past and your freedom, why are you still willing to find Zhaoming for him? "

"No hate. No reason."

"Why is there no reason...then..." Xie Yi lay down on the table, and he looked at Chu Qi with sparkling eyes: "Do you like him?"

Chu Qi's pouring hand paused for a moment: "Who do you like?"

"Master, Shen Ye."

Chu Qi was silent for a while before saying, "I'm the same as you."

During those 100 years, he was absolutely obedient to Shen Ye. There were reasons why he was controlled by Gu insects as a living puppet, and there were also his own feelings in it.But whether this kind of feeling can be regarded as liking, he himself can't say.

"This answer is too cunning..." Xie Yi sighed, buried his head in his arms, and raised his head after a while, his eyes were a little hazy.Chu Qi suddenly realized that he must be drunk, right?

Although he likes to drink and is good at wine tasting, he really didn't hold a lot of alcohol when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't drink so much that he would lose consciousness and be brought back by Shen Ye every time at the Shennong Festival.After becoming a living puppet, this situation eased a lot, but he hardly drank anymore.

Xie Yi suddenly came over, stared at Chu Qi for a while, then reached out to wipe the magic lines on his face, and muttered, "...strange, why can't the mirror be wiped clean today..."

"You're drunk." Chu Qi blocked his hand away.

"I didn't! Watch me blow... Blow two breaths before wiping!" Xie Yi held onto Chu Qi's shoulder unhappily, and started blowing into his face seriously.

The warm breath with the smell of alcohol swept across Chu Qi's eyes, itching and uncomfortable, he endured it for a while, but he didn't dodge it after all.Xie Yi's face got closer and closer, and his eyes became more and more confused. He tried to open his eyes, but he was still no match for Jiu Jin, and his whole body fell to Chu Qi's limp.Warm lips touched the magic lines under his eyes, and slowly slid down his cheeks...

Chu Qi supported him in time, preventing him from sliding to the ground in slow motion.

There was only half a jug of wine left on the table, the air was still filled with a strong aroma of wine, Xie Yi was already unconscious in his arms.

This wine is really strong.

Even Chu Qi felt that the magic lines on his face were getting hot.
